Hyundai ix35 2.0 CRDi

This is the new Hyundai ix35, the Korean company’s replacement for the frankly forgettable Tucson. But Hyundai is on a roll at the moment, having notched up some huge sales increase during the scrappage scheme, and keep those showroom figures high with their own incentives. In short, the brand is now on the general public’s radar, and offerings like the ix35 are designed to offer them something that isn’t just a cheap runabout. Read on for our verdict on the new Hyundai ix35.

The new Hyundai ix35 looks pretty good…

Past offerings from Hyundai might have been described as being ‘different’ and ‘standing out from the crowd’, but those were polite ways of saying Korean cars were odd and no one was going to buy one. The new ix35 is much better, much more confident, even if /Fluidic Design/ is a silly name for the styling philosophy. We rather like it, the only visual letdown being the chrome-effect door handles (inside and out) and the equally tacky gearknob.
