2010 Hyundai IX35: full details revealed

We’re sure you’ve been waiting for it so we’ll just give the full specification and details of Hyundai’s new IX35 SUV without delay. By now, you probably know that the official launching will be at the Frankfurt motor show next week. Here’s the latest release.

A majority of the car’s styling cues are taken from Geneva’s ix-onic concept and it is the first production Hyundai to feature the firm’s new hexagonal family grille. It will replace the Tucson model in the range. Its 2640mm wheelbase is 10mm longer than the Tucson to give more interior legroom. Its 4410mm length and 1820mm width are greater than its predecessor’s dimensions by 85mm and 20mm respectively. It is also 20mm lower without affecting headroom.

Looks nice - like an Elantra-Enclave breeding project.
Ready to put the beat-down on the CR-V/RAV4 twins.
What a big grille you have.

Kinda expected this...considering the release of the new Kia Sorento pics. This may be vehicle that I'll have to see in the metal before passing judgement.

This is perhaps the first of the new wave of Hyundais that I do not particularly care for. I think the wheel-wells are too small, and are positioned too low in the panels. That visual trick is used to give height where it really doesn't exist. If they had taken the wheel well cutouts to approximately where the current character line around it is, then that would yield a better look, I think. The interior looks in keeping with current Hyundai practice, but with the exception of the shifter knob, I don't care for the "aluminium look" bits and pieces. Not impressed with this one at all, Hyundai.

Is that flame surfacing I see on the side profile? Did these guys head-hunt Chris Bangle?

I'm a desenter. I'm feeling this SUV and the Ford Kuga style could do wonders here. I like small to mid size vehicles, this is great over all.

Kinda looks like Hyundai's version of the B9 Tribeca.

Agree too many lines especially the front end but still a big step forward from current model and design theme.

Fluidic puncture ?

Nicer than before but.....

Hyundai still has a strange way of making their styling over accentuated and toy-like yet still nebulous.
