What type of transmission does the ix35 have?
2 Answers
Beijing Hyundai ix35 has used three types of transmissions in total, namely the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, 6-speed manual transmission, and 6-speed automatic manual transmission. Both the dual-clutch transmission and the automatic manual transmission are relatively common automatic transmissions. Below is more information about the Hyundai ix35 transmission: 1. The structure of the dual-clutch transmission is similar to that of a manual transmission, as this type of transmission is developed based on the manual transmission. The Hyundai ix35 model is equipped with the second-generation 6-speed automatic manual transmission, which is the Powertech transmission under Hyundai Group. The matching degree between the engine and the transmission is very high. Powertech is also the third company, besides ZF and Aisin, capable of producing mature 8AT transmissions, which speaks volumes about its strength. It is very active in gear shifting and has good smoothness, with almost no noticeable jerking. 2. Compared to traditional manual transmissions, the dual-clutch transmission has shorter shift times and lower power transmission losses. In the new generation of dual-clutch transmissions, the issue of overheating leading to frequent shifting errors has been resolved, with improved heat resistance. Moreover, the dual-clutch transmission is lighter, which can reduce the weight in the engine compartment and provide better driving operability.
I once drove a Hyundai ix35 SUV, which was equipped with an automatic transmission, specifically a six-speed automatic. This design made gear shifts very smooth, whether in city traffic jams or during highway cruising, providing a steady ride without the need for frequent clutch engagement like in a manual transmission. The automatic transmission is based on planetary gear sets and achieves gear shifts through electronic control, making maintenance relatively simple—just regular checks of the transmission fluid are needed. I've driven several of the same model, and it's particularly effortless in congested urban areas, with straightforward operation—just press the accelerator and go, with gear shifts almost imperceptibly smooth. If you're considering buying a used ix35, pay attention to whether the transmission fluid has been changed on time; otherwise, you might experience lagging shifts. Overall, it's quite reliable as a daily driver, suitable for commuting and long-distance travel.
