Hyundai ix35. Owner reviews
Hyundai ix35 is a fairly popular model among crossovers, so it is easy to find a large number of reviews about this car.
Due to the popularity of the crossover on the Internet, it is easy to find reviews and ratings from drivers about the Hyundai ix35 in large numbers. It is from these sources that one should judge the pros and cons of the vehicle.
The overall rating of the drivers is 4 on a five-point scale. For the most part, the comments about this crossover are similar.
Therefore, it is easy to draw the appropriate conclusions:
- The driver's seat is not comfortable enough. The pillow has not very good adjustment, and the backrest has to be lowered far back, and because of this, the passenger in the back will be uncomfortable.
- Creak and knock. After six months of driving, the armrests and seats creak loudly when adjusted. After six months - a year of operation, a knock is heard due to instability of the gear selector, from the bushing on the electric power steering, or as a result of transmission problems.
- "Discreet design". The sharp curves and futuristic design don't look representative enough for conservative people. The colors and shapes of individual parts are very annoying for some drivers.
- Cheap materials in the salon. Dermantin instead of leather. The plastic is not of high quality.
- High fuel consumption. The trip consumes 11-12 liters of fuel.
- Minor breakdowns often occur. Shock absorbers have to be changed especially quickly.
- Short ground clearance, which is why the car is not sufficiently adapted to domestic roads.
- Desire to change the car. Every third owner of this crossover would like to change it for a German car.
- The engine is not delivering full power.
- The computer may malfunction after a year of use.
- Soft ride. The crossover is confidently and softly on the road at a speed of 150-180 km / h.
Price
The cost depends on the configuration and engine of the car. In the showrooms, the Hyundai iX 35 crossover will be sold at prices ranging from $ 26,000 to $ 37,300.
Outcome
Hyundai ix35 is a car that demonstrates modern design and practicality. At first glance, it is easy to overestimate his ability.
Driving around the city or on vacation will be comfortable, and many little things will pleasantly delight the drivers. But, while enjoying driving, you should be prepared for small unpleasant surprises.
Video review Hyundai ix35
In the video presented, you will see a detailed test drive of the Hyundai ix35, where the advantages and disadvantages of this car will be considered.
Hyundai ix35 replaced the popular Tucson in 2010. The crossover is built on the same platform with Kia sportage third generation. The ix35 was assembled in South Korea, as well as in Europe - at the Kia factories in Slovakia and Hyundai in the Czech Republic.
Engines
In the Russian market, the Hyundai ix 35 was offered with 2-liter engines: gasoline (150 hp) and diesel (136 and 184 hp). Everything power units have a timing chain drive.
Some owners of gasoline IX 35 after 50-150 thousand km notice an extraneous knocking while the engine is running. The reasons were different: a faulty hydraulic chain tensioner, a CVVT clutch (variable valve timing), hydraulic lifters (installed after restyling in 2013), or even seizures in the cylinders.
Fortunately, bullies are not common. When contacting during the warranty period, the dealers did not change the entire engine, but only the “short block” assembled with pistons and crankshaft. If the guarantee is out, then the block will have to be cased - from 100,000 rubles.
Starting the engine can be difficult due to a malfunction of the clutch pedal switch (with manual transmission) / brake (with automatic transmission), and in cold weather - due to the "retracting" starter (grease thickens).
V diesel units after 50-100 thousand km, sometimes the crankshaft damper pulley is rented (from 7,000 rubles). And problems with starting a cold diesel engine arise due to poor contact or oxidation in the place where the glow plug wiring is crimped (about 1,000 rubles). In addition, the glow plug relay (from 4,000 rubles) or the candles themselves (1,500 rubles / piece) may fail.
Front box
There are three boxes for the ix 35: 5 and 6-speed "mechanics", as well as 6-speed "automatic". There are no serious problems with boxes. In the case of manual transmissions, many note the appearance of extraneous noise that disappears after squeezing the clutch, and in the case of automatic transmissions, the owners complain about noticeable jolts during switching.
Transmission
Poor protection of the spline joints of the drive elements from the effects of water and dirt leads to unpleasant consequences. So, after 50-100 thousand km, corrosion kills the splined connection of the right-hand drive shaft. Licks the slots - there is a backlash and hum. The intermediate shaft and the inner CV joint have to be changed: 7,000 rubles per element plus 3,000 rubles for work.
Worse, the intermediate shaft support bearing mount may break off. The mount is part of the unit. Ideally, it is necessary to replace the block, but it is possible to get off with argon welding. Fortunately, this problem is much less common.
Another example of poor spline protection is corrosion and shearing of the drive shaft splines in transfer case and a differential cup (after 100-150 thousand km). The repair will be very costly - about 80,000 rubles. First of all, the owners of diesel cars are at risk. The prevention of spline joints will help to avoid problems - lubrication every 30-40 thousand km. In addition, the high torque of diesel engines can destroy the differential basket along the weld.
The Hyundai ix 35 used two four-wheel drive couplings. Until 2011, an electromagnetic clutch of Japanese origin JTEKT was installed, and since 2011 - a hydraulic Austrian manufacturer Magna Steyr. The clutch is quite reliable. Malfunctions occur due to damage to the wiring (3,000 rubles) or wear of the brushes of the electric motor (when high mileage). After 100,000 km, sometimes the clutch oil seal begins to leak.
Outboard bearing cardan shaft(4-5 thousand rubles) can buzz after 80-140 thousand km.
Undercarriage
The knocking suspension is the reason for many complaints about Hyundai, and not only the ix35. Knocks when driving through irregularities are aggravated with the arrival of cold weather. There are several sources of extraneous sounds. The main one is the native shock absorber struts, which can knock after 2-3 thousand km. Official services changed the racks under warranty. But that didn't mean they wouldn't knock again. After all, the new shock absorbers are the same. Some managed to change them three times for 20,000 km. But the problem is not global, there are those who drove up to 80-100 thousand km, never noticing that something is knocking in the suspension.
Another source of knocks is the boot and shock absorber bump stop flying off the seat. The manufacturer recommended fixing the boot to the rack with a sealant. Folk method - winding electrical tape on a rod or tie of a "buffer" (bump stop) with clamps. On the ix35 2012 model year, the manufacturer eliminated this design miscalculation.
Can knock after 50,000 km steering rack... Hub bearings (from 1,000 rubles) travel more than 60-100 thousand km.
Silent blocks and ball joints of levers serve more than 100-150 thousand km. And here is the bracket rear arm, to which the stabilizer post is attached, can collapse after 60-100 thousand km. The bracket can be welded. The new lever is available for 9,000 rubles. The defect affects exclusively all-wheel drive versions of the Hyundai iX 35.
Body and interior
The paintwork is traditionally soft, easily scratched and chipped over time. Unfortunately, after 3-6 years, paint swelling can sometimes be found on the rear wheel arches, tailgate, hood, roof and windshield pillars. Dealers are reluctant to acknowledge this issue as a warranty case.
Salon ai x 35 often starts to creak, especially in winter period- before warming up the passenger compartment. The most common source of extraneous sounds is the armrest between the front seats.
Another unpleasant moment is the crumbling filler of the driver's seat cushion. From close friction with the sharp edges of the frame, the "insides" can completely crumble out in just 30,000 km. The stubbornness with which the manufacturer changed the seat cushion over and over again is surprising. It was only in 2015 that the decision was made to install a special lining on the frame to resist destructive friction.
The same story is with the peeling leather steering wheel and door trim, in the place of contact with the driver's elbow. The "leather" of the chairs does not differ in durability either. Wrinkles appear in the driver's seat, and the leather cracks and breaks.
Sometimes the stove motor starts to make noise (it is necessary to disassemble, clean and lubricate), or the plastic casing of the air duct flies from its place under passenger seat... There are also failures of parking sensors, rear view cameras and "glitches" head unit... Cases of spontaneous ignition of control lamps with subsequent short-term extinction of the instrument panel were also noted. In such cases, dealers changed the "tidy".
Conclusion
When choosing a used Hyundai ix35, special attention should be paid to the operation of the all-wheel drive system. The rest of the defects are easily removable.
The car "Hyundai AX35" mostly collects positive reviews. This is a reliable and comfortable Korean car that is an intermediate link between expensive cars the highest class and budget SUVs and crossovers. Based on the feedback from the owners of these cars, it is possible to determine the advantages, disadvantages of the car, and the features of its operation.
Design
Looks amazing "Hyundai AX35". Owner reviews confirm this. The car has a modern stylish design of a youth crossover, although it is marketed as an SUV. The car has all the necessary qualities of an SUV.
As for the interior, here, too, everything is done at the highest level: a lot of space in the cabin, expensive high-quality plastic, a futuristic panel. But design is subjective. Many potential buyers do not like the new "Hyundai AX35", reviews about it are also written negative, but only in the context of design.
Salon
As for the salon, everything is in order with it. The stove heats it up in 5 minutes. There are no creaks in the cabin, the trim sits firmly, the plastic does not bend anywhere. There are also disadvantages in the cabin: they do not fold well rear seats, therefore, it will not work to increase the volume of the trunk much. So fans of fishing and outdoor recreation will not be able to fully sleep in the car.
Body
Koreans usually make pretty good bodies, but this car has large gaps between the elements. Of course, there is nothing wrong with that, but all the same it does not inspire confidence. There are also customer complaints about the tailgate, which closes very loudly, and even not the first time.
The trunk is small here, despite being an SUV. Unfortunately, wheel arches eat up a lot of space.
Suspension
If you believe the reviews about the "Hyundai AX35", then the suspension in this car is very stiff and explosive. When driving on an uneven road, some kind of knocking is constantly heard behind, although at a car service they always say that everything is fine. On the other hand, the suspension here is very strong and knocked down. Thanks to her, a fairly heavy load can be transported by car, the car confidently holds the road, even not asphalt. During four years of operation on a car, only the front struts need to be replaced from the suspension. Considering that these are just "consumables", there is nothing wrong with that - this is the norm.
Engine and fuel consumption
Most often, these cars are equipped with two-liter "aspirated". Judging by the reviews, "Hyundai AX35" is unpretentious to the quality of gasoline and works equally well on AI-92 and AI-95 fuel, but it is better to fill it with gasoline with a higher octane number. In the city, the engine power is more than enough, however, with the load, the car sharply dulls, and the dynamics is greatly reduced. This also applies to driving on the track.
Fuel consumption in a quiet city driving mode is 10 liters, which is an excellent indicator, given the size of the car and is quite powerful. two-liter motor... In winter, fuel consumption in the city rises to 13 liters. On the highway, the car consumes 8 liters per hundred when driving at a speed of 90 km / h.
According to reviews, the diesel "Hyundai AX35" does not have the same problems that a gasoline engine has. On diesel fuel, the car consumes less fuel, is more dynamic, and when loading the trunk, if it loses dynamics, it is not as significant as in the case of a gasoline engine.
Operation in winter is worth mentioning separately. Even at high negative temperatures, the car starts up with a half turn of the starter. But the engine makes an unnatural noise. Most of the drivers did not believe that the car was used Gas engine believed that there is inside diesel engine... Be that as it may, there are no problems with the engine, even in winter. So, according to the reviews of the car owners "Hyundai AX35" - great car for Russia, where large negative temperatures in winter are the norm.
disadvantages
Any car has certain disadvantages. Judging by the reviews, "Hyundai AX35" produced in 2014 has the following:
Hyundai is one of the best-selling car brands in Russia. It is not for nothing that the name of the concern is translated as "modernity", because the developers always keep up with the times, and always use Newest technologies.

Hyundai cars are produced in many countries of the world, and according to the level of filling the market, the company is in the top three.
The productivity of the company is impressive: in 2010, 1,750,000 vehicles were assembled at all Hyundai branches. South Korea made the largest contribution as a producing country.
For Russia, "Koreans" are assembled at many factories, both domestic and foreign. Among them:
- the South Korean plant in the city of Ulsan, which is rightfully the most powerful enterprise of the company;
- Taganrog plant "TAGAZ", which made Hyundai cars until 2010;
- a plant in St. Petersburg, construction of which began in 2008, and the first cars rolled off the assembly line in 2010;
- the Turkish branch of Hyundai, which has been operating since 1998.
Also, Hyundai cars are manufactured at factories in Brazil, the USA, the Czech Republic and India. But, on Russian market their products are not supplied.
Solaris is one of the leaders in sales in Russia. The debut of the model took place in 2011, and a very heavy burden was placed on her shoulders - to become a quality replacement for the Hyundai Accent.
After the Koreans opened a branch in St. Petersburg in 2010, the serial production of Solaris for the domestic market began.
It should be noted that at this enterprise the complete assembly of the model is carried out, including welding and painting.
Hyundai ix35
If you ask any domestic car enthusiast the question: "What is the best Korean crossover?", Then the answer will be: "Hyundai ix35".
The debut of the model took place in 2009, and she was supposed to replace Tucson.
2010 was marked by the fact that the producing countries, including South Korea, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, began mass deliveries of ix35 to Russia.
Representatives of the company promise that the production process of the crossover in Russia should soon be adjusted.

After the 2007 Hyundai i30 was first presented to the public, it immediately became clear that the car was simply doomed to success.
Today, the assembly of the third modification of the model is already underway. i30 are supplied to the Russian market from a Czech company located in the town of Nosovits.
It is worth noting that until 2009, exclusively Korean-made cars were exported to Russia.
Hyundai Santa Fe
Today, Hyundai Santa Fe can already be safely called the legendary crossover, which is the older brother of Tucson and ix35.
At the moment, the model is being assembled at American and South Korean branches. However, for the Russian market, the model is supplied only from Asia.
The first two generations of the model were assembled at an enterprise in Taganrog.
Hyundai i10
The subcompact car Hyundai i10 was officially presented in 2007. Of course, the model did not become as popular as the developers expected, but it has its fans all over the world.
At the moment, i10 is being assembled at the facilities of India and Turkey. It is the Turkish-assembled cars that can be purchased at dealerships. But, in fairness, it should be noted that until 2013, more preference was given to cars from India.

Hyundai i40 is one of the few models that is assembled exclusively at Korean factories.
It was first presented to the public in 2011 - a station wagon, and 2012 - a sedan.
Hyundai i20
The car appeared on the domestic market in 2009. It was supplied from South Korea, Turkey and India. But, due to low demand, now Hyundai i20 is exported only from Korea.
Hyundai Elantra
Hyundai Elantra is one of the most "ancient" models of the company. It began to be assembled back in 1990, and since then the car has remained one of the best-selling in its class.
To date, the model is assembled at the South Korean plant in Ulsan. From 2000 to 2007, the car was produced at the Taganrog enterprise "TAGAZ".
Video: assembling Hyundai in Russia
Hyundai Sonata
Even older than Elantra, the car. Today, Hyundai Sonata is produced in South Korea, and at subsidiaries in the United States. In the second case, cars are supplied only to the local market.
From 2003 to 2010, the Sonata was released in Taganrog.
Hyundai Coupe
One of the youngest korean cars Hyundai Coupe was produced until 2009.
Its assembly took place at factories in South Korea, Turkey and Thailand.
Models of the South Korean assembly were supplied to the Russian market.
Output
The Hyundai company produces some of the most recognizable cars. The production workshops of the concern are located all over the world, which does not in any way affect the quality of the vehicles.
In especially happy families, when the parents have so many children that there are not enough names for all of them, the children are barked with ordinal numbers, and even better - with an index. So that at least somehow everyone could be personified. The prolific Koreans from Hyundai also took this path at one time. Not only for the reason that similar models in different markets were just darkness. Also because in Korea they never really treated proper names for cars. There are several reasons for this, and one of them is the dissonance of a name in one language, while in another it will sound very flattering. The same story happened with the Hyundai ix35. And the point is not even that, as in the case of the Japanese Pajero, the name of the SUV had to be changed in the Italian and Spanish markets. Here, rather, it is a matter of euphony.
Hyundai Tucson or Hyundai ix35
Initially, since 2009, for the USA it was Hyundai Tucson... It is understandable, for the Americans - everything is decent and fits well on the ear. We have a thousand nicknames stuck to the crossover, since the alien Tucson (or Tucson) did not fit into any framework. But over time, they got used to it, changing the name to Tushkan. But when the second generation of the model came out, the Koreans nevertheless decided to assign it an initial index - I-X 35, thereby depersonalizing the machine and equating it with all other models.
Only now again from December 2015, with the release of the restyled model, the American name was returned to her and now it is impossible to buy a new Hyundai ix35 in our country. It is not in the list of officially presented models. Official dealers in Moscow are selling off the remains of the 2016-2017 Hyundai ix35 to fill the warehouses with new Tucson. But the crossover with the index was in enviable demand among the public and was consistently in second place in sales after the bestseller Solaris. And when compared with crossovers, in principle, only Toyota RAV4 sold better. In 2015, Hyundai ix35 was bought 19,000 times, while Toyota was exchanged for money by 23,750 people. New crossover a little cheaper and looks more modern, but it's not about him today. Hyundai ix35 has done a good job and deserves to spend it with honors on a well-deserved rest, and at the same time admire the trim levels and prices for the outgoing model.
Configuration and prices 2018-2019 Hyundai ix35 model year, photo
All this time, from 2013 to the end of 2015, until its retirement, the car remained practically unchanged, but it sold well for several reasons. Firstly, this is the stable quality of the Czech assembly, and secondly, the stable price even after the restyling of 2014. The buyer received a technically updated model with minimal external tuning, but all for the same money. The audience could not help but appreciate such a move of their beloved Koreans and gladly carried their hard-earned money. official dealers... In Moscow, they asked for about 1,100,000 rubles for the minimum set. For all the shortcomings, to which, judging by the owners' reviews, a weak engine was most often attributed, the equipment was at a fairly high level. The basic front-wheel drive Hyundai ix35 with a two-liter 150-horsepower engine and a manual 5-speed gearbox was equipped with an air conditioner, two airbags just in case, an on-board computer and ABS system... In addition, it was already possible to buy the basic version from alloy wheels, foglights, in a pearlescent color, nothing more without paying extra.
Hyundai ix35 in the same configuration with an automatic six-speed gearbox cost 70 thousand more, but it was worth not to regret 225 thousand and you could get optimal car for all occasions. This package included four-wheel drive, the same automatic machine, airbags in a circle, EPS, Hill Assist system, rear parking sensors, a rear view camera, a two-zone climate system and rain and light sensors. In addition, the head optics had LED daytime running lights, windshield warmed up in the rest area of the wipers, and in the cabin you could find leather inserts in places. The most expensive version of the Hyundai ix35 was sold at a price of 1,700,000 apiece and there was already a heated steering wheel, electric folding mirrors, full adjustment of the steering column in terms of stem and height, electric adjustment front seat driver, power windows in a circle. In a word, everything you can want from a good SUV for the city. But the main thing was waiting for the buyer under the hood.
What is hidden under the hood of Hyundai
In principle, if you do not particularly read it, then the technical characteristics of this crossover can easily be confused with characteristics of Kia Sportage or Hyundai Elantra. They had one cart for all. The suspension is the standard semi-budget option. In front of the MacPherson strut, in the back there is a simple multi-link. But due to the peculiarities of the new crossover body, the attachment points of the front suspension arms changed the angle of the strut, which increased the effort on the steering wheel, thereby making the steering more pleasant and informative. In addition, test drives showed more stable behavior of the car on the straight line and at high speeds.
The main surprise of that restyling was new motor of the Nu family. The two-liter 150-horsepower gasoline unit produced 195 Nm of torque in the range of 4500-4700 rpm. In addition to gasoline Hyundai ix35, there were also turbodiesel cars on our market, which cost a little more. A diesel-powered turbine engine had two degrees of boost and, depending on the modification, could show either 136 or 184 forces. The first was put on a manual transmission, in this case the torque was 320 Nm, a more powerful turbodiesel was installed with a 6-speed automatic, in this case the torque was 383 Nm, or with a five-speed manual. Then the torque was 392 Nm. The more powerful turbodiesel already corresponded to Euro 5 at that time, while the rest of the engines, including gasoline ones, were sharpened to the Euro 4 standard. The Russian version of the gasoline engine, by the way, was weaker by 15 European forces.
Interior - no hussars
The Hyundai ix35 salon has always delighted with silence, but the restyled car has surpassed itself. Very quietly, you can read Edgar Poe's lyrics in a whisper. Even with intonation.
After a speed of 100-120 km / h, literary readings can be interrupted by the rustle of tires and aerodynamic whistling in the area of the front mirrors and struts, but they do not press on the ears, but are perceived naturally. They say that used Hyundai ix35 crickets appear in the cabin, but their appearance is not systematic and is easily treated. In general, everyone praises used 35s for the strength of the suspension and the silence in the cabin. Squeaks may appear, but this is if suddenly the driver is drawn to check the rigidity of the body for serious bumps, ravines and potholes, for which this car is by no means intended.
The interior is quite simple, but not flawed in any way. Even in inexpensive trim levels, where there is no multimedia with a 7-inch monitor or leather, the interior looks very decent. The plastic has become softer and more pleasant to the touch both on the door cards and on the front panel, regardless of the level of equipment of the car. The heating of the seats is not symbolic, as in many state employees, but rather tangible, and in the case of a heated steering wheel, it is also uniform, which is important, because a person gets a feeling of comfort not from the general temperature, but from when the happiness sensors work, but they are in our palms. Therefore, it is enough to evenly warm up the steering wheel, and it will no longer be so cold in the car.
The ergonomics of the Koreans have always been at a good level, and the functionality of the new salon has grown a head. It's nice that in the cabin you can find two 12-volt sockets at once, and a USB port is hidden in the front panel. The readability of the devices is impeccable, the screen on-board computer gives out all the necessary information as it comes in, the only thing that can be upsetting is that the car can prompt the desired gear in the manual shift mode to the automatic transmission, overlapping information about the current gear. Too intrusive service. The navigator is in a place of honor in the center of the console. The 7-inch monitor is also readable decently, the set of maps contains all European and rather detailed maps of the Russian Federation. In the poorer configurations, the monitor is smaller, but this does not affect the functionality of the navigator and the rear-view camera.
A real crossover, test drive Hyundai ix35
In the course of the post-styling Hyundai ix35 is both dynamic and captivating with a smooth ride. Indeed, the old 1.8-liter engine was not enough for a one and a half-ton crossover, and the two-liter engine was just very tight. At a low speed, the car runs smoothly, responds adequately to the trigger, but in its own way, in a crossover way. The automatic transmission works without jerks, slowly and does not provoke a dynamic ride, and the engine opens only when it is properly rotated. But the car does not dispose to haste and sports. The maximum torque of a gasoline engine can be caught from 4 thousand revolutions, therefore, for overtaking and more or less dynamic movement, the engine will still have to be turned. To kick the machine, you can switch to manual mode, but under normal, standard conditions, you don't want to do this at all, the box completely copes with its tasks. Is that when overtaking and when braking the engine, with a sharp start.
Video: test drive Hyundai ix35
In the most delicate operating conditions gasoline engine will ask for at least 10 liters in a combined cycle. On the highway - about seven, and the diesel engine will be even more economical. Although in technical characteristics prudent Koreans prescribed 11.5 liters, just in case.
All-wheel drive is no different from Kia Sportage, this is the same Dynamax electro-hydraulic clutch, which was developed by the Korean company Magna.
The rear wheel drive is electronically controlled and activated on demand when front axle starts to slip. The control program is configured in such a way that it works ahead of time in order to turn on the hydraulic pump in advance and drive into slippery road already armed with four-wheel drive.
Such was the Hyundai ix35, so it will be on sale for a long time. secondary market, and lovers of good discounts should hurry up, the remnants of the i-x 35 2016-2017 model year are now being sold at good prices... So, with the era of numbers and indices, it seems, Hyundai is done away with and, like in decent families, each car will have its own name.
