Hyundai’s Tucson replacement, the ix35 will make its official debut during The Frankfurt Motor Show next month. However the official pictures have been released a month back and even before that we were poured with a rain of spy-shots. Now Hyundai has released a promotional video.
Ix35 has adapted Hyundai’s new age designing. It is the first Hyundai to adapt the front hexagonal grill, which we will be seeing in Hyundai’s new offerings. . The headlamps feature innovative LED daytime running lights which move down electrically whenever the ‘dipped beam’ is switched on.
We expect the ix35’s power train to be equipped with a 170PS, 1.6-litre GDi turbocharged, four-cylinder petrol engine, with ISG (Idle Stop & Go) technology and a double-clutch six-speed transmission. Power will be transferred to the road by an intelligent four-wheel drive system fine-tuned to deliver outstanding on-road driving dynamics, together with significant off-road ability. This eco-friendly engine emits just 149 g/km of CO2, an impressive figure for an SUV and comparable with conventional hatchbacks.
