2 Answers
ix35 weighs 1398kg. Additional information: Introduction: The Hyundai ix35 is an SUV model. The Hyundai ix35 will serve as the successor to the Tucson model and was officially introduced for domestic production in 2010. Beijing Hyundai stated that the domestic version of the ix35 will no longer use the "Tucson" name. Launch date: The Beijing Hyundai ix35 was launched on April 8, 2010, at the Chengdu Auto Show, initially offering two engine options, 2.0L and 2.4L, with both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive available. Basic information: The Hyundai ix35 has overall dimensions of 4420mm x 1820mm x 1690mm, a wheelbase of 2640mm, an unladen weight of 1398kg, a fuel consumption of approximately 6.8 liters per 100 kilometers, front-wheel drive, and disc brakes.
As someone who frequently researches cars, I understand that the Hyundai ix35 typically weighs around 1,500 kg, depending on the model configuration. For example, the base version might be slightly lighter, around 1,480 kg, while the top-tier four-wheel-drive model could reach up to 1,550 kg. Weight significantly impacts the driving experience—if the car is too heavy, acceleration slows down, and fuel consumption increases. During my test drive, I noticed that in city driving, the car felt slightly sluggish at take-off but very stable, unlike lighter cars that tend to feel floaty. Additionally, the use of high-strength steel in the body can reduce weight without compromising safety, which is a clever design choice. Compared to similar SUVs like the Toyota RAV4, which weighs around 1,530 kg, the ix35 strikes a balanced choice—not too heavy to affect agility. When choosing a car, it's important to test-drive multiple models to feel the difference in weight during turns and braking, especially at high speeds where wind resistance can highlight its advantages.
