Among the exterior updates, it is also worth noting a modified radiator grille and wheel disks with a different pattern.
Changes in the interior of the new 2014 Hyundai IX35 are more dramatic. They are less concerned with the design of the front panel and more electronic systems indications on it.

In general, the front panel updated version Hyundai IX35 retained its original design, which cannot be confused with any other in the segment. As for finishing materials, they have changed in better side. The plastic has become softer, and the fabric and leather are of better quality.

The volume of the luggage compartment of the new Hyundai IX35 is 591 liters, and with the rear seat backs folded down - 1436 liters.

The range of diesel engines is represented by 2 power units volume of 2 liters, equipped with an exhaust gas recirculation system LP-EGR. The first of them, having a power of 136 hp, appeared in the line for the first time. The second one is familiar to us from the pre-styling version - it is capable of generating 184 hp. With. (at 4000 rpm) and a torque of 392 N * m (in the range of 1800-2500 rpm). Both modifications with diesel engines have four-wheel drive and work in conjunction with a 6-speed automatic transmission gears.

Fuel consumption for the first version is 6.8 liters, for the second - 7.2 liters.
Changes in the technical part affected not only the engines, but also the suspension. It has been upgraded and now the crossover has become smoother, and handling has improved.
