What engine does the ix35 use?
2 Answers
ix35 comes with two engine options, one is a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. Here is the introduction to the Hyundai ix35 engines: 1. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum torque of 242 Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 2. The 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum torque of 193 Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6AT transmission.
When it comes to the Hyundai ix35's engines, I've driven several different models and found that it commonly uses a 2.0-liter gasoline engine and a 1.4-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, with some markets also offering a diesel version. The 2.0L one delivers around 150 horsepower, providing smooth city driving and decent acceleration for highway overtaking. The 1.4T is more fuel-efficient, but the turbo noise is slightly noticeable when it kicks in. These engines are part of Hyundai's own Theta series, known for easy maintenance, with oil changes recommended every 5,000 kilometers. I've found the engines quite reliable—after driving 70,000 to 80,000 kilometers, there haven't been any major issues, except for occasional cold-start vibrations, which are fixed by regular spark plug replacements. In short, choosing an ix35 engine depends on your priorities: go for the 1.4T for fuel efficiency or the 2.0L for durability—just avoid installing random aftermarket parts.
