It's not always worth your while to follow the manufacturer's data, this time however, it is. Hyundai sees the market for mid-range to small SUVs, despite the declining sales-curve, as still growing. They consider their potential buyers to be young, two-child families. Indeed, it seems rather to be the roomy feeling that appeals to this group of buyers, since two thirds of them order the ix35 with front-wheel drive.

Now the explanation becomes a little more clear, that just as many, but not exactly the same buyers, order the car with a petrol engine, which is understandable in view of the fact that the smallest Diesel engine costs € 3,200 more. The performance as a family- and leisure time vehicle is thus, probably not enough to redeem the higher price of a Diesel engine.

Already at it's introduction in Frankfurt in 2009, it was a design that was independent of its predecessor, the Tucson, it even topped that with its facelifting in 2014, e.g., Bi-Xenon technology and LED clear glass headlamps were possible. This of course was also the case with the tail lights, in addition, the sides were fitted with protective zones against minor parking damages.

At the top of the page, we have already listed the various engines for 2014, because below that, as the biggest achievement, is the new two-litres direct-injector, which will probably give this petrol engine an even better consumption. In addition, there will be a greater performance willingness and with it, a considerably higher top-speed. Indeed, having the stately height of 1,67 meters, using the top-speed will not go unpunished. 04/14
