2021 Hyundai ix35 has a good real reputation. The following is an introduction about Hyundai: Development: Compared to the standards of other leading global automakers, Hyundai Motor Company's history is relatively short. It can be divided into three decades, each marked by a primary characteristic of the company's growth and development. Logo: The emblem of Hyundai Motor Company is an ellipse with a slanted letter H inside. The ellipse represents the Earth, symbolizing Hyundai's global stage for business operations. The slanted letter H is the first letter of 'HYUNDAI' in English, and also artistically depicts two people shaking hands, representing mutual trust and support between Hyundai and its customers.

I'm the owner of a 2021 Hyundai ix35, primarily using it to shuttle my kids to school and for weekend getaways. Overall, it has a solid reputation because of its spacious interior—the back seats and trunk easily accommodate a baby seat plus two suitcases, making family trips convenient. Fuel consumption is low, averaging around 7.5L/100km in the city and dropping to the low 6s on highways, which has saved us a lot on gas. The driving experience leans toward comfort, though the power is slightly underwhelming, requiring a heavier foot on the accelerator when climbing hills. The interior materials are average, with a noticeable plastic feel, and over time, some squeaking noises have developed, which some criticize as lacking a premium feel. On the plus side, reliability has been high—no major issues in two years of ownership, and maintenance costs are affordable. Online reviews generally praise its practicality and value for money, especially for budget-conscious families, making it a highly recommendable car.

I have a good understanding of cars and have read many reviews of the 2021 ix35. From a performance perspective, the reputation is average. The 1.6L engine delivers smooth output, which is sufficient for city commuting, but it lacks acceleration and responds slowly when overtaking on highways. The chassis is on the stiff side, with noticeable vibrations when going over speed bumps, affecting ride comfort. Positive reviews focus on its economy and space, with good fuel optimization and low maintenance costs. Negative opinions point to the mediocre material quality, with plastic interiors aging quickly, and occasional minor issues with the wiper and lighting systems. Overall, it ranks in the upper-middle tier among entry-level SUVs, with most owners recognizing its practical value. It may lack driving excitement but is adequate for daily use. It's recommended to test drive it before making a decision to see if it suits your preferences.

I drive a 2021 ix35 daily for commuting and find its reputation quite good. It's easy to drive with a light steering wheel that offers good control, and the fuel consumption stays below 8L, making it economical and practical. The entertainment system has all the basic functions, but the screen is a bit small, and the navigation occasionally lags. The space is sufficient, fitting work bags and daily essentials without feeling cramped. Many online users praise its reliability and durability, especially in urban conditions where it rarely breaks down. Downsides? Some complain about poor sound insulation and loud tire noise affecting music enjoyment. But overall, the reputation is positive with high cost-performance, making it ideal for commuters. I recommend trying it to see for yourself.

Is the Driving Resistance Greater or Smaller on Downhill Sections?

Driving resistance on downhill sections is smaller compared to flat sections. On downhill sections, due to the effect of gravity, the driving resistance is reduced, making it easier for the vehicle to speed up and harder to control compared to driving on flat terrain. Increased driving resistance manifests as insufficient power during driving, a mismatch between speed and gear, increased fuel consumption, and poorer coasting performance when the vehicle is in neutral on straight roads. Reasons for increased driving resistance include: 1. Faults in the vehicle's transmission system: Poor lubrication, insufficient, deteriorated, or overly viscous lubricants in the drive axle's main reducer, differential, or transmission can increase driving resistance; improper assembly or adjustment of the drive axle's main reducer and transmission, overly tight bearing assembly, improper driveshaft assembly, overly tight or poorly lubricated universal joint bearings, or lack of oil; excessively small gear meshing clearance in the transmission increases transmission resistance, deformation of the drive axle housing, bending deformation of the half-shaft, and friction between the half-shaft and the half-shaft sleeve can all contribute to increased driving resistance. 2. Faults in the vehicle's driving system: Deformation or displacement of the front axle or drive axle can increase driving resistance; poor lubrication, deteriorated or insufficient lubricants in the wheel hub bearings, insufficient tire pressure, and deformation of the vehicle frame can all lead to increased driving resistance. 3. Overloading the vehicle, poor road conditions, and driving against the wind can also cause increased driving resistance.

What does ST on tires stand for?

Tire ST refers to trailer tires. Additional information: 1. Trailer tires do not refer to truck trailers, but rather to the practice in European and American countries where private cars often tow an additional vehicle for transporting goods or travel purposes. The ST designation before the tire indicates this type of tire. ST can be considered as an abbreviation for sport-trailer. 2. Pneumatic tires can be further divided into two types based on their construction: tube tires and tubeless tires. Passenger cars commonly use tubeless tires. Based on the arrangement of internal cord layers and cushion layers, tires can also be classified as radial tires or bias-ply tires. Radial tires are widely used in automobiles. 3. Automotive tires can be categorized into pneumatic tires and solid tires based on their carcass structure. Modern vehicles predominantly use pneumatic tires. According to internal air pressure levels, pneumatic tires can be divided into three types: high-pressure tires, low-pressure tires, and ultra-low-pressure tires. Low-pressure tires are commonly used in various vehicles. Pneumatic tires can also be classified into tube tires and tubeless tires based on their construction.

What Are the Types of Automotive Batteries?

Nowadays, automotive starting batteries generally include the following types: Dry-charged Lead-Acid Battery: This type is called a dry battery because it is completely dry without electrolyte when it leaves the factory. Since it requires the addition of electrolyte for use, it is commonly known as a water battery. Its advantage is that the negative plate has a high capacity for storing electricity, and it can retain the stored charge for up to two years in a completely dry state, making it very convenient for storage and transportation. To use it, you only need to add electrolyte and wait for 20-30 minutes before it is ready. It is also relatively cheaper. The downside is that it requires regular maintenance and the addition of electrolyte, which can be quite troublesome for the average consumer. Currently, it is mainly used in trucks and buses. Valve-Regulated Sealed Lead-Acid Battery: Also known as a maintenance-free battery. As the name suggests, this battery does not require any liquid maintenance from the time it leaves the factory until it is scrapped. The advantages are obvious: first, it is maintenance-free; second, it is resistant to vibration, high temperatures, compact in size, and has low self-discharge. It generally also has a longer lifespan. The drawback is that it is relatively more expensive. Currently, almost all passenger cars use this type of battery. With the price gap of maintenance-free batteries narrowing in recent years, more and more buses and trucks are also starting to use maintenance-free batteries. Lithium-Ion Battery: The advantages of lithium batteries are their small size and light weight. The disadvantages are their high cost and relatively lower safety. Due to these characteristics, they are mainly used in high-performance cars and sports cars.

What does it feel like when the car's ABS intervenes?

When the ABS intervenes during braking, there will be a rattling sound and a sense of jerkiness. Here are some related details about ABS: 1. Function: The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) automatically controls the braking force during car braking to prevent the wheels from locking up, keeping them in a state of rolling and sliding (with a slip ratio of about 20%) to ensure maximum adhesion between the wheels and the road. 2. Working Principle: During braking, ABS quickly determines the locking state of each wheel based on the speed signals from the wheel speed sensors. It closes the normally open input solenoid valve for the wheel that is starting to lock, maintaining the braking force. If the wheel continues to lock, it opens the normally closed output solenoid valve, causing the braking pressure on that wheel to drop rapidly due to the direct connection to the brake fluid reservoir, preventing the wheel from completely locking up due to excessive braking force.
