Test-drive Hyundai ix35: Sculpture from the diesel engine

Crossover Hyundai ix35 replaced the Tucson. And he was well received in Russia, despite the fact that the cost is more expensive. Most buyers come to the salons for gasoline, "ah-iksami. A diesel is not as popular. But in vain. Judge for yourself. Powertrain test ix35 - the most powerful two-liter turbodiesel in the classroom. Koreans managed to take off his 186 horsepower. Torque is impressive too - 392 nyutonmetra available already from 1800 rpm. Yes, everything is clear and without figures. Even non-specialists. One has only to sit behind the wheel, "the thirty-fifth." Traction under the pedal is always enough. A 6-speed automatic can only say that he has full understanding with the motor. Crossover accelerates instantly and is feeling up to 100 km / h faster passport 10.1 seconds. In this case, the motor "singing" without any strain. Overtake - it is a pleasure. And it is only in Drive. In "Sport» ix35 even faster. And about the manual box and does zabyvesh. Powerful and tyagovity diesel limited patency, however, if you press the selector to the left of Eco Auto, then the acceleration becomes sluggish, the box starts to hesitate and tries at every opportunity to switch up. Moreover, the transition selector from Drive to Sport, eco-friendly mode is not disabled. Differences between "Sport", "Drive" and environmental "tones" can be understood if we display a tidy slider instantaneous fuel consumption. Passport of diesel ix35: 9,1 l in the city and 6.0 on the highway. Test car consumed in traffic about 10 liters. And on the highway - at least 8.1. Which is also a good result. Hyundai ix35 is not only fast, but still roomy. Trunk volume (591 liter) - a record in the classroom. And in the underground hiding full reserve. In addition, rear seat backs fold, though not forming a horizontal surface. Another plus - a memorable design. "Thirty-fifth was the second after the Sonata cars Hyundai, performed in a new style Fluidic Sculpture (flowing sculpture). Whimsical twists excellent camouflage certain body heaviness ix35. Salon also shines: raznofakturny plastic emphasizes the play of shadows. The front panel may appear to someone pretentious. And yet it is rigid - plastic only rough-looking soft. Interestingly, the insertion of opaque plastic even more pleasing to the touch. The car was almost 30 000 km, but no scratches no. Planting a comfortable, review, due to the large side mirrors, great. And while driving back helps the camera display, which is located in the salon mirror. Dual-zone climate control is also ionizes the incoming air. And the rear passengers have air ducts to the legs and seat heater. C bright-blue backlit Koreans have gone too far. A bright flame in the darkness lit displays audio and climate control. Blaze button. Rich equipment High Price Manageability ix35 almost sedan, rolls minimum. However, for this you have to pay sandwiched suspension, shaking even the temperature joints overpass. Steering wheel pretty hot, but legkovat and lacks informative. It seems to be ix35 well prepared for the Congress of the pavement - there's even a lock couplings, working up to 40 km / h, as well as an assistant with the descent. Overhangs are short and unpainted bumpers to the bottom trimmed to ensure good geometric cross. There is a strong metal crankcase, but it reduces the already low ground clearance - 170 mm. Stiff suspension diligently repeats profile of the road, you go faster - not enough energy. Overcoming even the relatively small irregularities like circus. Suspension from ix 35 too korotkohodnaya and crossover turns off the ground wheels. A diagonal hanging insured electronics do not like. It would not prevent "off road" mode traction control system. Gasoline ix35 offered in four trim levels. The easiest car with front drive and the "mechanics" worth 914,900 rubles. There are front and side airbags, air conditioning, heated all seats, a six-speaker audio system with AUX and USB-connector, 14-inch alloy wheels. No - ESP. Salon fabric, leather steering wheel with no slippage and adjustments for all images of flight. Diesel SUVs offered only in the configuration Comfort: four-wheel drive, dual-zone climate control with air ionization, combined, leather and fabric interior, ESP system with pick-up in the mountain and the descent from the mountain, roof rails, parking sensors and rearview camera. Such "Gasoline" options like navigation, leather seats, sunroof, 18-inch wheels, for diesel engines available. A sum at the price tag - not small! We tested version with automatic transmission is worth 1,350,900 rubles. There are still ix35 with the "mechanics" and deforsirovannym to 136 hp motor for 1,234,900. Moreover, the dynamics of the less powerful machine is not inferior and spends less. But this is a feature of Premium: almost the same cost base Land Rover Freelander with a turbo and the "mechanics". Roomy trunk is only one complete set A direct competitors are cheaper and most of them are offered in several trim levels and with additional options. Over 1,199,000 rubles can buy the top version of the crossover Ssangyong New Actyon with diesel 175 hp 6-speed automatic transmission and leather interior. A very simple crossover network with front-wheel drive motor power 149 hp and ILAC can be bought for 799,000 rubles. The front-drive Ford Kuga is 999 000. A top version with turbodiesel (163 hp), four-wheel drive and automatic transmission -1289000 rubles. True, the leather interior, heated seats and sound system with MP3 support will have to pay extra. So, the ultimate price "Kuga" is almost the same as the "35 th". Same situation with Volkswagen Tiguan (140 hp) He is represented in a single set and only with automatic transmission. (1248 000 rubles). And items such as leather seats and cruise control are offered at an additional charge. By the way, crossover Skoda Yeti with the same engine, but with the robot DSG, only costs 1,139,000 rubles. Kia Sportage diesel with automatic transmission will cost 1,329,900 rubles. The motor had the same, however, develops 136 hp and the dynamics of "Sportidzh" can not compete with the "35 th". Yes, and the leather interior it has not.
