Hyundai ix35 - choose a complete set

Recently, Hyundai representatives have officially announced that their new model ix35 will be delivered in 14 different trim levels. Such a statement is very difficult to take seriously at once, but soon an objective awareness of reality comes. However, if the variability of the equipment is considered from a practical point of view, then there are only six of them. The remaining eight options are engine, drive, and gearbox variations.

Basic characteristics and configuration of the engine

The main gasoline engine of the complete set has a volume of 2.0 liters and 149.6 horsepower. The main feature of this gasoline engine is the continuous phase change system during valve timing. And that's not all, since there is also the geometry of the intake valve. There is an opportunity to order diesel engines with a capacity of 136 and 184 horsepower, respectively, their working volume is also equal to 2 liters. This method of acquisition is logical, since there is still a myth that heavy fuel is of poor quality, and the corresponding engine simply will not last long.

However, do not forget about the main principle of trade: the buyer is always right regardless of the circumstances. Based on the above, it would be quite logical to join the choice of a gasoline engine in a complete set, since it is he who is most in demand among consumers.

Technical nuances and basic functional characteristics of the gearbox

The variety of the gearbox configuration is determined by its final operating conditions. For example, in traffic jams, a manual transmission is extremely ineffective, since gears have to be changed too often, sometimes even more often than pressing the functional pedals of the car. Under such conditions, even the most ardent admirer of mechanics will want to install a machine gun. However, if the car is in relatively free traffic for most of its road cycle, then the use of a manual transmission will become the most logical configuration option. Hyundai ix35 belongs to urban crossovers, in fact, as evidenced by its compact dimensions. Therefore, the most acceptable option would be a machine gun.

All about the wheelbase variations of the Hyundai ix35 city SUV

It should be understood that the choice of a wheelbase for a complete set should be based on road conditions. If the car will not pass most of the way off-road, where at every step there are multiple stones of different caliber, then you can do without all-wheel drive. Only in winter, an increased degree of cross-country ability is required and then it can be dealt with without all-wheel drive. In this regard, you can completely get by with a mono drive. This will save a significant amount of financial resources, which can then be redirected to improve the degree of comfort of the passenger compartment and increase the level of safety of the car as a whole, which is the right decision. The "Prime" and "Prime +" trim levels do not entirely correspond to this condition, since they are an option with all-wheel drive and a manual transmission.

At the root of the matter is the "Start" package. But it also does not fall under modern budget standards, since it includes an electric drive, heated mirrors and seats of all categories, there are tape recorder control keys on the steering wheel and, of course, there is a full-fledged spare wheel just in case of backup. The only and very significant drawback is the meager number of airbags, since there are only two of them.

The situation is better from "Start-Advanced", since a lot of useful functionality is included. In particular:

• leather interior upholstery;
• a full package of airbags, including even with side ones;
• climate control with two different seasons.

However, of modern useful electronic systems, only an anti-lock braking system is present, which in turn is a very meager indicator.

To get into the "Comfort" zone, it is enough to make a small surcharge of 50 thousand rubles. There is already full equipment, since everything you need is present.

The security system is multi-stage, it includes:

• front seat head restraints;
• stabilization system;
• auxiliary functions when descending or ascending a steep slope.

The wiper works automatically, thanks to a specialized high-tech sensor that reacts even to the smallest drops of rain. Cruise control is responsible for maintaining the speed limit. LED headlights, which are dynamic, give a special style to the decor. All exterior mirrors and handles are the same color as the body.

The line of possibilities presented above is not yet final. The Travel package is equipped with modern high-precision navigation and bi-xenon. However, you will have to pay 90 thousand rubles for it, which is not quite a cost-effective solution from the point of view of rationality.

Expert point of view of Alexey Rostovtsev - sales manager of the company "Genser Lyubertsy"

Alexey Rostovtsev argues that the Hyundai ix35 is the benchmark for modern urban crossovers in terms of price, quality and functionality. In his opinion, due to its universal design, this car will appeal to both the female and male sex of the population, regardless of the position held or the type of activity. Thanks to the large-sized trunk, you can safely travel, it is also ideal for a large family. Alexey also believes that this crossover is well controlled due to the presence of all the necessary electronic auxiliary systems.

Main disadvantages

What is most striking is the low level of security in the economy packages. Further, a very significant disadvantage is the inability to purchase any option in the future. The absence of diesel engines in the basic variants is also not encouraging; unfortunately, they can only be purchased with the help of an individual order.

Main advantages

Multifunctional basic equipment and high quality of finishing materials simply cannot but rejoice. Wide financial range of choice. Plus, the body color is free, you can choose any color you like.

To summarize, the Hyundai ix35 urban crossover is a multifunctional power unit for a moderate fee.
