Detailed analysis of the Hyundai ix35 1.7 CRDi 115 CV 4X2 SLE (2013)
General description
The Hyundai ix35 burst onto the market as a statement of intent, an SUV that not only sought to compete but to redefine the brand's perception. It left behind the sobriety of its predecessor to embrace a bold design and a quality that surprised everyone, becoming the dream travel companion for countless families yearning for adventure and style.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the 116-horsepower 1.7 CRDi engine feels like a willing and efficient heart. It doesn't aim for speed records but offers a smooth and constant response from low revs, ideal for the daily pulse of the city and quiet getaways. Its six-speed manual transmission is precise, and the suspension filters out imperfections with a delicacy that invites you to devour kilometers, conveying a sense of control and comfort that makes you feel safe and relaxed at all times.
Design and aesthetics
Its body is a sculpture in motion. Hyundai called it 'fluidic sculpture' and it was a total success. Every line, from the imposing hexagonal grille to the swept-back headlights and rising waistline, evokes dynamism and strength. Inside, the qualitative leap is palpable; a spacious and bright interior, with a driver's position that welcomes you and a 465-liter trunk ready for any plan. It's a car that makes you proud to park it.
Technology and features
For its time, the ix35 offered equipment that made life on board easier and more pleasant. In this SLE trim, features like climate control, 17-inch alloy wheels, and a competent sound system were standard. Although it didn't have current driving assistants, its active and passive safety features, along with a fuel-efficient Euro 5 engine, demonstrated a commitment to efficiency and occupant protection.
Competition
It fearlessly faced the giants of its category. The Nissan Qashqai was the king to beat, but the ix35 stood its ground with solid arguments against rivals of the stature of the Ford Kuga, the Volkswagen Tiguan, or its sibling, the Kia Sportage. Its great asset was offering a nearly perfect balance between design, equipment, and a price that made it one of the smartest and most desirable options in the segment.
Conclusion
The Hyundai ix35 is not just a car; it's a memory of an era of change and optimism. It represents Hyundai's consolidation as a global manufacturer capable of creating exciting, reliable, and attractive vehicles. It was the logical and passionate choice for many, a complete SUV that met and exceeded expectations, leaving an indelible mark on the asphalt and in the hearts of its owners.
