Where is the rear towing point on the Hyundai ix35?
2 Answers
Generally located near the lower front grille, there's a plastic cover that can be removed to install the towing hook. Below is relevant information: 1. Exterior: The ix35's design was completed at Hyundai's Frankfurt R&D Center, giving it distinct European styling with a fashionable, avant-garde, and ruggedly dynamic appearance. 2. Interior: The ix35 maintains the same dynamic and stylish aesthetic inside, while striving to achieve top-tier standards in its class for features like a panoramic sunroof, integrated rearview camera with parking assist, and push-button start - all pioneering features in this vehicle segment. 3. Powertrain: In China, the ix35 is equipped with two Theta-II series engines. As members of the same series, these engines share many common technologies. Both utilize dual CVVT (continuously variable valve timing) and VIS (variable intake manifold), with identical 88mm cylinder bores but different strokes (86mm and 97mm respectively). Chassis dynamics - Urban driving performance is a standout feature.
The rear tow hook of the Hyundai ix35 is mainly located under the rear bumper, usually covered by a small cap on either the right or left side, which requires you to crouch down to see. This design facilitates quick access during towing or rescue operations, avoiding the occupation of trunk space. If you often drive an SUV, remember it's near the chassis, not as easily noticeable as the front tow hook. When actually using it, it's best to unscrew the cap with the provided vehicle tools to ensure a secure connection of the tow hook. This location might be a bit hidden for beginners, so it's recommended to check the manual a few times or search for images online to confirm. Avoid experimenting on your own to prevent damage to the bumper or safety issues. This design in Hyundai cars is quite practical; I've driven similar models, and the location is generally the same. Note that different model years of the ix35 may vary slightly, so remember to check if the cap is intact during maintenance.
