Hyundai has announced the name of a new model which will be premiered at the IAA next month - the Hyundai ix35. The company has also released the Hyundai ix35 teaser image that shows the rear lights of the new crossover. The Hyundai ix35 will enter the C-segment and will replace the Tucson alongside the Santa Fe.
The Hyundai ix35 was developed in Europe and incorporates the new design lines of the company. Up until this moment the company did not release any details regarding the engine options or performance figures of the Hyundai ix35.
The company says the Hyundai ix35 will offer exceptional style, performance and economy.
Hyundai Press Release:
Hyundai will strengthen its position as one of the leading brands in the European crossover sector when it presents an all-new addition to the brand’s line-up at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. The ix35 joins the C-segment to replace the successful Tucson. Alongside it will be the significantly-revised Santa Fe, which benefits from a wide range of engineering and cosmetic changes to fine-tune the driving experience and make it even more competitive versus rival 4x4s.
The ix35 represents a major step forward for Hyundai. Like the other ‘i’ models in the range, it has been conceived and engineered in Europe at the company’s Frankfurt-based design and technical centers. The newcomer embodies Hyundai’s new design language and carries over much of the confident, sweeping styling of the ix-onic concept car which starred at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year.
The Santa Fe too has styling revisions, but the big news is under the skin, with new powertrain, steering and suspension. Mated to the recently-launched diesel engine, codenamed ‘R’,
these modifications have created a balanced and refined model, well suited to on-road and off-road driving.
Further information about ix35 and the new-look Santa Fe will be announced nearer the time of the Show.
