What transmission does the ix25 use?
3 Answers
ix25 uses a 6-speed manual transmission and a CVT transmission. Taking the 2020 manual fashion ix25 as an example, its body length, width and height are: 4300mm, 1790mm, 1620mm, the wheelbase is 2610mm, the fuel tank capacity is 50l, and the body weight is 1150kg. The 2020 manual fashion ix25 is a MacPherson independent suspension, the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension, equipped with a 1.5t naturally aspirated engine, the maximum horsepower is 115ps, the maximum power is 84.4kw, the maximum torque is 143.8nm, matched with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I remember the Hyundai ix25 in the Chinese market was equipped with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The former is suitable for experienced drivers who enjoy controlling the gear shifts themselves, offering more direct power response and a better feel for acceleration and deceleration on highways, though stepping on the clutch can be tiring during traffic jams. The latter is much more convenient, with smooth and effortless automatic gear shifts, making city commutes very comfortable. I've seen many young people opt for it. The overall quality of the transmission is stable, and Hyundai's 6AT is well-tuned with good fuel consumption control, averaging around 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers. Regular inspection of the transmission fluid is key, and changing it every 50,000 kilometers can prevent early wear issues.
As a frequent driver of the ix25, the transmission I use most often is the 6-speed automatic. It performs smoothly in daily driving with almost no jerking, whether at traffic lights or climbing hills. I've also tried the manual version—the 6-speed manual has short shift throws and a light, responsive feel, making it ideal for those who enjoy driving. In terms of maintenance, this transmission is designed to be reliable, but avoid prolonged driving on rough roads with heavy vibrations, as it can affect gear longevity. I recommend new owners opt for the automatic version for hassle-free driving, especially for women or beginners who don’t want to worry about the clutch.
