2011 Hyundai ix35.Start Up, Engine, and In Depth Tour.
Styled in Hyundai's German design studio, the ix35 was the first Hyundai to feature the brands 'Fluidic Sculpture' theme when it arrived Down Under in February 2010 (we'd go so far as saying it's one of the 'coolest' looking Compact SUV's on the market). From the large hexagonal grille up-front, which immediately gives the Hyundai a presence when you spot one in your rear-view mirror, to the rear hatch which features what could be called a 'mini duck tail' (Porsche 911 fans will understand this term), the ix35's design gets the Car Verdict Thumbs Up.
The steering wheel is a funky four-spoke design and the driver's seat features six-way power adjustment (except on the entry-level Active grade). The seat position is relatively high, providing good frontal visibility. The rear seats offer sufficient head room and feature a fold-down centre armrest with decent sized cupholders. The Hyundai ix35's cabin storage space is great for a family car and the rear seats fold flat to increase cargo space from almost 600L to over 1,400L! The panoramic glass roof, standard on the Highlander grade, creates a lovely lightened feel to the interior.
Pre October 2010 the Hyundai ix35's steering wheel adjusted for tilt (up & down) but not reach (in & out). Not any more, thankfully it now does both. The 2011 ix35 range also gains additional sound deadening materials to reduce road noise levels.
Entry-level Active's 2.0L Petrol engine produces a respectable 122kW of power (& 197Nm of torque) and whilst noisy under hard acceleration it is by no means forgotten - it's the sole front-wheel drive variant and subsequently lighter than the AWD ix35's. The mid-spec 2.4L Petrol benefits from significantly more torque (227Nm); however by far the most impressive engine is the smooth-sounding 2.0L Turbo Diesel which generates a whopping 135kW of power and 392Nm of torque.
All ix35's are great value for money with high levels of standard features. The automatic is a quality six-speed box - a significant improvement over a number of competitors' four-speed gearboxes. The ix35 comes with impressive safety features as standard: six airbags, ABS brakes, Electronic Brake Distribution, traction & stability control, Downhill Brake Control and Hill Start Assist Control. October 2010 saw the introduction of rear park assist as standard across all grades.

Very informative video. Thank u very much.

I see this car doesn't have a button for the rear defroster.. it only has one for the front. Does this effect the rear window fogging up and stuff or is the button somewhere else??

Thanks.
