What is the transmission of the Hyundai ix35?
1 Answers
The transmission brand used in the Hyundai ix35 is Powertech. Hyundai Powertech is a subsidiary of the Hyundai Group in South Korea, specializing in the production of transmissions. Currently, most Hyundai and Kia models on the market use transmissions produced by Hyundai Powertech. The Hyundai ix35 is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission and a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. The Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) differs from conventional automatic transmission systems. It is based on a manual transmission but functions as an automatic transmission, offering the flexibility of a manual transmission and the comfort of an automatic transmission, while also providing uninterrupted power output. When using the transmission of the Hyundai ix35 in daily driving, the following points should be noted: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this can cause the transmission to overheat and may result in a noticeable jolt when shifting back into Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Some drivers, aiming for smooth operation, may shift into the opposite gear before the vehicle has fully stopped, which can cause significant damage to the transmission gears and may lead to gear grinding or other failures over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). When facing steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or may upshift too early, resulting in insufficient power. In such cases, it is advisable to use manual mode to lock in a lower gear or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck with the transmission in Neutral (N). Towing the vehicle with a rope or directly dragging it should be avoided.
