There's no getting away from the fact that the Hyundai ix35 is a distinctive-looking car -- its tall suspension, and prominent grille and headlamp combination help it turn heads wherever it goes. Crucially, the ix is 10cm longer than its rival the Nissan Qashqai, and as a result there's lots of room inside. The dashboard is clearly laid out and the car's fixtures and fittings feel solidly made. Premium trim cars offer climate control, heated leather seats, automatic wipers and a panoramic glass roof as standard, as well keyless entry. There are four engines on offer, including a powerful 134bhp 2.0-litre turbodiesel

[@keshensingh855]

Those guys that commented on the Hyundai IX35 some what 2/3years ago should reconsider it has one of the best diesel turbo engines combined with excellent fuel economy. One of the best small/mid SUV ever built

[@alexpritchard1407]

yeah it's a great car

[@gsahrens]

Hyundai is sure bringing some good quality cars to the market and what is really pleasant is that they are not overpriced like the European big names..

[@gt5004life]

47mpg is the optimal they achieved whilst testing it, driving incredibly economical. You'll never get that when driver as a consumer.

[@nikhilkash92]

Very good Suv. Practical, Spacious, Good Looking, Powerful and Reliable. What more do you want from a vehicle!!

[@nomadic_inflight]

Ever noticed that "ix35" is "sexi" in reverse! =))

[@attractivue]

I just bought it and I'm picking it up on Monday, CAN'T BLOODY WAIT! Really really smooth car!

[@BlessedChukwuletam]

How has it been?

[@techdude6693]

I sat in the back of one a few weeks ago, I'm 6'1" and I was comfy. not too bad at all

[@DoorisJ]

I seriously dont understand why we dont have many diesel cars in the US. They get such good mpg and are so practical

[@dareczek63]

I'm not sure if I like Hyundai but I am 100% sure that I like to watch Rebeca:)

[@visualmedia4us]

Next to Rebecca, every car looks tall ;-)

[@ch02ie1]

Love my car! Highly suggest it! Highly affordable for an suv

[@chigasaki06]

That's what I thought. You pay a bit more at the pump, but the return is crazy. Diesel motors are a bit louder, but that's a small price to pay for the efficiency.

[@maduforuma279]

This is the car in walking dead I love the movement

[@EOTA564]

Heated seats - awesome! Just what I was looking for to get me through the Queensland summer.

[@TerryFilming]

The Tucson is the same thing as the ix35. In South Korea, the country of origin, they called it the "Tucson ix" in the release.

[@PcTechandGaming]

I am Croat, I think I should know.. War was never on Serbian ground. Serbia attacked with JNA (Yugoslavian army) Croatia and Bosnia. They didn't have their own army because they sent everyone to JNA. Croats had to steal tanks,rifles,even planes from JNA. Serbia wanted to control everything in Yugoslavia thats why other countries wanted to back out peacefuly but Serbs didn't let them and they started war by occupying Vukovar. You have a bad History teacher...

[@brightivan]

in my country it's called the Tucson and comes in 2.0 or 2.4.

[@danielflorian3458]

This was not a car review, it was a car advertisement 😂

[@switchfish24]

Thanks for mentioning EuroNCAP crash test results. Good idea Rebecca. Great review

[@Hobobanobo]

suprised you didnt mention the spare wheel. very functional, especially when stranded with kids dogs or wife etc.

[@Alans6563]

I think this is a brilliant review I really do. I've said on some of your past reviews you were coming across as though you were reading what you were saying like an autocue. Well it's not at all like that here. Don't know if you ever read the comments Rebecca but well done this is a great review! Back of the net!! lol! :)

[@TheCroatianKnight]

Although I'm not from the UK, trust me, leather is not standard on a Hyundai.

[@STUPIDYOUTUBE_HIDINGMSGS]

What's the L/100km on the dashboard in the highway, and the ground clearance of this? Beca is as amazing looking as her reviews! Good job!

[@MadMonroe90]

Diesel engine is only worth it if you're travelling a lot on the highway, otherwise in city usage the dpf will clog, the dual mass fywheel will die if you're shutting down the engine before it is reaching optimal temperature while the turbo can also fail if you're shifting at a too low rpm range, just like in case oc rush hours. Did I mentioned that the deposited soot on the exhaust manifold can not only kill the turbo and the dpf but the fuel injection system also? The fuel economy and decent torque of a turbo diesel is remarcable but the maintenance is a downside because it is expensive. A new turbo is 1000 euro, a new dpf is 500 euro, a new fuel injection system is somewhere between 1000 - 1400 euro while a dual mass flywheel is 500 euro or more. I don't know why the hell did all these auto jurnalists forget to tell these informations before recommanding a diesel... The recipe is simple: city = petrol, ev or hybrid, highway = diesel

[@martinjames6942]

Zoltan Benedek Also fuel economy for diesels is low until they get hot, after approx 10 to 15 miles or 20 mins plus in colder weather. I drive a Nissan NV200 that gives 25mpg town work because never gets hot. This should be giving closer to 50mpg if driven on motorway etc...all diesels are only economical when doing a reasonable run

[@RetroGamerVX]

Wow, Hyundai have really upped their game, nice looking, well built, good value and seem to be listening to their customers :o) Other car comanies should take note :o) Nice review too :o)

[@yigitayk]

Very good looking car in its class but it needs turbo petrol engine.

[@anthonyboysen2791]

Turn IX35 upside down... what do you see? ;)

[@Speedtv21]

in romania as standard we don't have leather or heated seats

[@cmagennis927]

I think Mat should stick to doing the car reviews! My sister bought a brand new iX35 1.7 CRDi 115 Premium at the start of January 2012 and so far it's been ok. The fuel economy is poor but once the engine loosens up it should get better! First gear turbo lag is shocking too. Finally the interior overhead light broke after 1 month and there's a rattle coming from under the dash.

[@derbigpr500]

5 year warranty? Hmmm, in Croatia all it comes with 7 years.

[@1100HondaCB]

I drove one for a 60 mile round trip and it wasn't a car I could get excited about. I found it quite boring. At motorway speeds, the steering felt a bit twitchy. I had a diesel one and in top gear at 50mph, it pulled pretty well up to 70mph quite brisly. Inside it was quite roomy and had quite a bit of kit to go with it. The keyless entry and push button start was a novelty and a neat touch. All in all, not a bad car, but not exciting. Reminds me of a Ford Kuga.

[@jezovuk1]

thanks.I really like this car!

[@Alingkii_888]

What is the ground clearance? It look high 😊👍

[@bendimyakarim2183]

I LOVE HYUNDAI

[@LRS905]

Are the Tucson and the ix35 different models? Have a hard time distinguishing them, such as with the ASX and the Outlander...

[@charlesbrown1996]

Nice review !!

[@kr4sus]

Dont quite agree with the small boot space, and dont understand the comparison with a seven sitter. None of the cars in the same segment have third row sits. (or am i wrong?) 35mpg is high consumption by my standards for a diesel to be honest.

[@Zeek509]

She's such a great reviewer!

[@TheGenovski]

The ix 35 is very cool car, I like it!

[@gandalfwiz20007]

that's because ix35 it's called in europe and brazil, in the US it's called Tucson.

[@Mrdhinesh1]

Yes you are correct!

[@juidas]

My Azera is Leather standard, also the Genesis.

[@angelofthehorror]

Good review Rebecca.

[@Mububban23]

Fair point, I like her as a reviewer but using a 5 foot 4 (and a half!) lady as the measuring stick for rear seat adult passengers isn't the best test. Relevant for kid and younger teenager space but not if you regularly carry adult males. The lack of boot space crosses it off my shopping list.

[@Mrdhinesh1]

My dream caaaaaaaaaaar.

[@JStar5225]

if the one reviewed was the base model in the UK... I'm jealous. We don't get telescopic steering wheel, sunroofs, no leather in the base model in Canada... What the hell man. But we have a 2.4L petrol 176hp? engine instead...

[@Jerubei]

In this particular case, there is lots of space - I'm 187cm and can sit behind the driver's seat, after setting it up for me.

[@zenycabba]

To any Americans with regards to ford in Europe: ford is designed and made in GERMANY and our cars come slightly better equipped and with better build quality because Americans don't care how the inside of their car looks.

Wait wasn't this car in the walking dead

Astriker Yeah it was, Shane drove it.

[@mc_grizzle]

@@paulwilson6920 Was it a good car ?

[@weaverwaver]

Please do a review of the new Volvo models when they come out. You haven't done one since the facelift, and soon ( 1 month maybe ) there will be much better engines, and a new automatic gearbox. Pleasseeee! :D

[@ivanaradonjic2527]

Pause at 1:11 it says Swallowfield on the navigation.

[@LRS905]

"the two outer seats have been fixed with ISOFIX". Why the center one doesn´t get it? I would assume that the center position would be the optimal one for a small child who needs a child seat, isn´t it?

[@MrAge1234567]

hi there, Did she mean 45 or 35 mpg. How can it go from a claimed 47mpg down to 35mpg. That's a big difference?

[@Alessio96P]

Yes it's just called IX35 In Europe.

[@35dononeill]

It would appear that every Hyundai tested so far this year has had a very favourable review. Have Hyundai turned a corner? I feel that the ix35 has the following issues If you want a 4 x 4 hyundai, the Sante Fe is not that much more expensive but is a better all round car. If you want a big family car that isn't 4 x 4 then whats wrong with the i40 estate. It is actually cheaper to buy / run and is bigger on the inside.

[@DoorisJ]

I wish there was a way to buy a diesel car overseas and have it shipped to you. That would be alot of money though.

[@Atres00]

no it doesn't , kia comes with 7 years, but hyundai models "only" have 5 years warranty

[@Ducky0nQuack]

Pause at 0:23

[@angerkeeper]

did she mentioned the ride and handling? i must've misssed that.

[@miriamglos1031]

Does this car have a top tether point ? 2010 model

[@bonganimtshali1505]

I have ix35 2012, it does have a reverse camera but the are no sensors why?

[@Guitarnoob99]

it seems that everywhere where Rebeca sits in the back its loads of leg room....perhaps she should mention she is small in hight ... yes she is avarage female 166cm but most of the guys are at least 175 cm so i doubt the car is so spacious for standart adults or rathe big adults

[@shawnriv9]

In the United States we still have the Tucson. Is this the same vehicle?

[@wtrdogg20]

Mat was sick that day and sent his girlfriend to do the review... Not bad!

[@dntblowyourcomposure]

they reviewed the highlander model! you cant get a sun roof in base model OR elite model

[@tallen35875]

you didn't get the Top Gear reference, did you?

[@panamera11]

This is the Tucson in the US, yay for relevancy!

[@mrxyz2k]

I checked another review and I didn't found the boot size is really that bad.

[@benjones4693]

also called tucson in thailand

[@jimmyarengh8327]

When it will be launch in India?

[@Naoufalitos24]

she's not a good reference for interior space, she's a small person

[@LuffyBG]

Isn't it better wen reviewing the back seat to put the front seat in its normal position? For girls Rebecas size its Ok, but how about men around 1,85-1,95m tall?

[@brxontillxr4904]

Although they look alike, they're different models :)

[@alaaino]

thank u mam,,,the best revue clear and simple,,,

[@LamboSpyder99]

They always seem to be really happy with each car. They should put a review as if they were actually looking to buy it. They should be more critical.

[@1997seanmac]

It is, isnt it?

[@Hudasragab]

yeah some countries tuscon like saudi arabia and other countries is ix35

[@younissultan7897]

ممكن استورد السيارة من الخارج ومعى خطاب إعاقة

rebeca and mat should do a review together THUMB UP :DDD

Well actually, it's alright looking.

Does anyone know how tall she is?

The new Mazda CX-5 looks like this car.

[@EternalEmpire]

Rebecca looks like she cried before doing the review. Look at her eyes at the start.

[@sequentialgear]

I could wear her as a key holder, how can she measure interior space? I mean, really...

[@TheCruizer]

Beccs FTW!

[@robstenfreak1]

my mom have that car and the space in the back is not that large.

[@martinjames6942]

Silke de witte so she sits in the boot then? Cool

[@franciscofloresr2]

Shane's Car!

[@nwhite06]

I got to drive one of these the other day and I HATED every single second of it. To me the steering is dull and lifeless, the suspension is bouncy, the wing mirrors are the size of dinner plates so cause a lot of high speed wind noise, the engine is totally unrefined even by diesel standards, and the rev band is stupidly narrow, so I was constantly changing gear. I'd sooner sell a body part to get the extra money for a Mazda CX-5 than buy one of these.

[@11ESSE11]

this hyundai ix 35 looks plastic and cheap but it is not cheap, I prefer to buy the Mazda CX-5 or Nissan qashqai for almost the same money.

[@stunner629]

its called tucson in middle east :o

[@GrotrianSeiler]

Great job, Rebecca. Your reviews are more enjoyable with time. Lots of polish, lots of info. And one can't deny how attractive you are to watch. Shallow maybe, but there it is. Cheers.

[@bichoorojo]

The interior of this car is crap, cheap plastics in the dash and everywhere, fake leather (which in sunny places where i live it s the worst you can have) and if you choose cloth it seems you are sit on a chainsaw. I bought Subaru XV instead, better engine and interior, and real 4x4.
