What transmission does the Hyundai ix35 2.0L have?

The transmission brand of the Hyundai ix35 2.0L is Beijing Hyundai. Beijing Hyundai Motor Co., Ltd., established on October 18, 2002, is the first Sino-foreign joint venture project in the automotive production field approved after China's accession to the WTO. It has been designated as a flagship project and demonstration project for revitalizing Beijing's modern manufacturing industry and developing the capital's economy. The Hyundai ix35 2.0L model is equipped with a 6AT transmission. A 6AT transmission means the car has six forward gears, which consists of six sets of gear groups with different transmission ratios. The hydraulic automatic transmission achieves automatic shifting through a combination of hydraulic transmission and planetary gears. It generally consists of components such as a torque converter, planetary gear mechanism, shift execution mechanism, shift control system, and shift operation mechanism. The AT transmission does not use a clutch for shifting, has fewer gears with significant changes, and provides smooth connections, making it easy to operate. This not only brings convenience to the driver but also ensures comfort for passengers. For the Hyundai ix35 2.0L transmission, the following points should be noted during daily use: Do not go too long without changing the transmission oil. Although many models now feature maintenance-free transmission oil, maintenance-free does not mean it never needs to be replaced. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can lead to damage to internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many "experienced drivers" may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, coasting in neutral can cause the transmission to overheat and produce a certain impact when shifting back into D gear. Never shift into D/R gear before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Many drivers, to demonstrate "smooth" operation, shift directly into reverse gear before the vehicle has fully stopped. This can cause significant damage to the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding and other faults. Do not frequently climb steep slopes in D gear. When facing steep slopes, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or shift too early, resulting in insufficient climbing power. In such cases, manual mode can be used to limit the gear to low speed or sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck, with the vehicle in N gear when moving onto the tow platform. Towing ropes or direct towing by another vehicle should not be used.
I have driven the Hyundai ix35 with the 2.0L engine, which comes standard with a 6-speed automatic transmission. This transmission performs smoothly in daily driving, with barely noticeable shifts, making it particularly suitable for congested city traffic. The throttle response is quick but not aggressive, ensuring a comfortable and natural acceleration process. In terms of reliability, Hyundai's system is designed to be stable and rarely encounters issues. My car has covered nearly 50,000 kilometers, and the transmission fluid only needed to be changed once, resulting in low maintenance costs. Compared to the CVT transmission in the Honda CR-V, Hyundai's 6AT offers better durability, especially during long-distance driving where power delivery is more direct. Paired with the 2.0L engine, it also delivers decent fuel efficiency, with a combined fuel consumption of around 8-9L/100km. Overall, this combination makes the ix35 a practical and reliable family SUV, offering effortless and relaxed driving.
