Detailed analysis of the Hyundai ix35 4x2 1.7 CRDi 115 CV Comfort (2010-2011)
General description
The Hyundai ix35 burst onto the scene in 2010 as a statement of intent, a vehicle that not only succeeded the Tucson but completely redefined the perception of the Korean brand. It was the SUV that proved that a bold design, a spacious interior, and a competitive price could coexist in an irresistible package, conquering hearts and roads alike.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the 116 HP 1.7 CRDi engine feels like a faithful and willing companion. Its generous torque from very low revs propels you smoothly in the city, while the six-speed manual gearbox allows for cruising on the highway with surprisingly low consumption. It doesn't seek speed records but aims to offer a serene and comfortable journey. The suspension effectively filters out irregularities, conveying a sense of poise and security that invites you to devour miles with the family without fatigue.
Design and aesthetics
The ix35 was a breath of fresh air thanks to the 'Fluidic Sculpture' design language. Its fluid and muscular lines give it a dynamic presence that still feels current today. It broke with the sobriety of its predecessors to embrace a bold and emotional aesthetic. Inside, space is the protagonist, with a roomy cabin and a 465-liter trunk ready for any adventure. The materials, though functional, create a welcoming and durable environment.
Technology and features
Under its skin, the ix35 hid modern engineering for its time. The diesel heart with common-rail direct injection and a variable geometry turbo was an example of efficiency and refinement. The electric power steering and the careful chassis tuning contributed to an easy and safe drive. Although it didn't dazzle with giant screens, its comfort and safety equipment more than met expectations, offering the technology that really mattered for daily life.
Competition
It entered a battlefield dominated by titans like the Nissan Qashqai, the Ford Kuga, and the Volkswagen Tiguan. However, the Hyundai ix35 was not intimidated. It played its cards masterfully, facing them with a more passionate design, a solid warranty, and a quality-equipment-price ratio that made many buyers hesitate. It was the challenger that became a full-fledged contender.
Conclusion
The Hyundai ix35 is not just a car; it's the memory of a turning point. It represents the audacity of a brand that decided to dream big and succeeded. It is a vehicle that captivated with its aesthetics, convinced with its practicality, and built loyalty with its good performance. A smart, yet passionate choice that left an indelible mark on the compact SUV segment.
