Any modern car or truck can be serviced and repaired independently, in a regular garage. All that is required for this is a set of tools and a factory repair manual with a detailed (step-by-step) description of the operations. Such a manual should contain the types of operating fluids, oils and lubricants used, and most importantly, the tightening torques of all threaded connections of parts of vehicle components and assemblies.

The first car of this brand made in South Korea appeared in 2009. A little later, the car was restyled. The changes affected not only the appearance of the car, but also the technical part. The engine has become "faster", more economical, so the Hyundai IX35 managed to reduce fuel consumption. Nevertheless, we should not forget that its value directly depends on the style of driving the car, the conditions of its operation.

Hyundai ix35 - engines official fuel consumption per 100 km

The power units of this model run on gasoline and diesel fuel. Diesel units can develop a power of 150 l / s or 184 horses. The gasoline engine has a power rating of 150 l / s. Both types of motors have a working volume of 2000 cm3, are equipped with a manual gearbox or automatic transmission.

Before the modernization of the car, there were instances with an engine, the working volume of which was 2700 cm3, its power was 187 horses. He worked in conjunction with a six-speed robot, had all-wheel drive.

Manufacturers showed for the Hyundai IX35 fuel consumption in the following quantities:

• City trips required 9.4-9.8 liters of gasoline / 100, diesel 7.2-9.1 l / 100.
• The combined cycle consumed 7.5-7.9 l / 100 gasoline, diesel fuel 2 crdi at 5.9-7.1 l / 100 km.
• The track "burned" gasoline 6.1-6.4 l / 100 km, diesel 5.2-6 l / 100 km.

The first indicator of fuel consumption corresponds to the "mechanics", the second to the machine. Several different modifications of Hyundai allowed potential buyers to choose a car with any requests. The volume of the tank in a car with all-wheel drive is 70 liters, for other models it does not exceed 58 liters. In eco mode, consumption figures will decrease slightly.

Generation 1

The upgraded Hyundai IX 35 was produced from 2010 to 2013. The engines were installed diesel and gasoline, which were suitable for fuel with an octane rating of 92. The fuel consumption of modernized cars depends on the type of engine, the installed gearbox, and the driving style of the car. Many drivers are accustomed to the figure of 6 liters per 100 kilometers, so the figure of 10 or more liters with a hundred mileage surprises them greatly.

The combined trip cycle still shows the highest consumption. If we talk about the average consumption rate, then it is in the range from 5.7 to 8.8 l / 100 km.

Hyundai IX35 owner reviews

• Sergey, Vladivostok. I have been using Hyundai IX35 for more than 5 years. A powerful four-wheel drive car is worth the money that I paid for it. Fuel consumption for a 100 km run by this machine is on average about 12 liters / 100 km of run. This is slightly higher than the indicators declared by the manufacturer, but I attribute it to the driving style, the operating conditions of the car.
• Nikolai, Kostroma. For a long time I saved up money to buy a Hyundai IX35 with all-wheel drive, our region is just right for such a car. Consumption of a Hyundai car of gasoline ranges from 7 liters on the highway to 12 liters in the city. I am satisfied with the car, I serve it myself. Ix 35 is a roomy car, which allows the whole family to often travel outside the city.

Real fuel consumption

• Viktor, Novosibirsk. For some reason I first noticed appearance machine, which turned out to be very nice. Chose 2 automatic transmission automatic, no regrets. The two-liter iX 35 lives up to my expectations. The appetite of such a car is very moderate. The average consumption of 9.5 liters suits me.
• Peter Vsevolozhsk. Car has 1600 miles for a month. It is too early to judge the consumption, but the average consumption figures are slightly higher than those indicated in the instruction manual. There is not enough experience in operating this car, it may be possible to reduce fuel consumption in the future.
