2010 Hyundai IX35
Hyundai revealed today the all new IX35, a brand new successor for the Tucson crossover, which promises to set a trend for its segment and regain sales leadership. As you can see from the photos, the new vehicle is based on the Ix-onic Concept shown back in March at the Geneva Motor Show and according to the manufacturer it took 36 months and 280 billion won (approx. US$225 million) to develop, so expect something really beautiful! Under the hood the new SUV carries a 2.0-liter engine, either the all-new diesel R or gasoline Theta-II and is fitted with Hyundai's all-new six-speed automatic transmission.
The diesel powerplant meets the latest Euro-5 emissions standards and achieves 15.4 kilometers per liter fuel economy with maximum power output of 184 horsepower, while the gasonline engine has a fuel economy of 11.7 kilometers per liter with a 166 horsepower.
The manufacturer also offers the diesel engine in both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel drive configurations, while gasoline engine is available only in front-wheel-drive. The official debut of the car will be made at the 2009 IAA in Frankfurt while the North American specifications will be announced at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this year.
