Core performance evaluation of Beijing Hyundai ix35 in all fields
Before Tiguan and ix35 went on the market, there were few high-performance SUV models in middle and high-level cities, RAV4 was quite satisfactory, and CR-V’s power handling was only qualified, not excellent. With the listing of two European-style SUVs, Tiguan and ix35, the lack of high-performance models in the urban SUV market has been completely broken.
Tiguan, with excellent genes of German Volkswagen, is self-evident in power, control and passability. I believe many riders are already very familiar with it, so I won’t go into details here. Today, the protagonist of our evaluation is the ix35 just launched by Beijing Hyundai, which is developed by Hyundai Motor Frankfurt Design Center in Germany and has the original European style and excellent performance.
The source of power: θ -II engine +6-speed automatic manual transmission
What can best show the "new realm of SUV" of ix35 is its excellent dynamic performance, which is also one of the biggest highlights of IX35. Ix35 is equipped with the advanced 2.0L/2.4L θ -II engine. According to the data provided by the manufacturer, the maximum power of the 2.0L engine is 120Kw/6200rpm (close to the level of many 2.4L engines) and the maximum torque is 194N• M/4600rpm; The maximum power of the 2.4L engine is 128Kw/6000rpm and the maximum torque is 226N• M/4000rpm。 Whether it is 2.0L or 2.4L, power or torque, ix35 θ -II engines are higher than CR-V and RAV4 with the same displacement, which shows the excellent power performance.
θ The reason why the -II engine is so excellent is mainly because it adopts the advanced dual CVVT technology in the same class. It can adjust the opening and closing time of the engine valve in real time according to the working condition of the engine and change the intake air volume, thus improving the power and economy of the engine. At the same time, the advanced VIS variable intake manifold technology is also applied, which greatly improves the power and economy.
In the actual driving process, θ The performance of the -II engine is also perfect, and the throttle response is sensitive. You can get a rare feeling of pushing back when stepping on the throttle lightly, and the power output shows perfect linearity, especially in the start and middle section. Under outdoor road conditions, θ The advantage of -II engine with large torque has been fully exerted, especially when climbing hills, and the power output is continuous.
And advanced θ The -II engine is matched with an imported 6-speed automatic manual transmission, which is rare in its class. This gearbox is independently developed by Hyundai Motor and integrates many advanced technologies. The gearbox is perfectly matched with the engine, which not only has perfect ride comfort, but also improves fuel economy, and the manual mode increases the pleasure of driving. At the same level, the CR-V is equipped with a 5AT gearbox, and the RAV4 is equipped with a lower-end 4AT. The ix35 has obvious advantages.
During the actual driving, the impact of gear shifting in this gearbox is slight and almost imperceptible. It is worth mentioning that the gearbox has light weight, compact structure and low friction loss. The relevant person in charge of Beijing Hyundai said that this 6-speed automatic manual transmission does not need to change gearbox oil within 300,000 kilometers, so it also effectively reduces maintenance costs.
Soul of manipulation: solid chassis+timely four-wheel drive
As an urban SUV, ix35 adopts the same load-bearing body structure as CR-V, RAV4 and Tiguan, which makes ix35 have the comfort of mid-to high-end cars and good passability. Its front suspension is McPherson independent suspension, and the new geometric structure greatly improves the steering feeling, stability and maneuverability; The rear suspension is an advanced multi-link independent suspension, which makes the ix35 have excellent comfort, handling and road sensitivity. The rear double fork-bar suspension of CR-V and RAV4 is slightly inferior to the multi-link design of ix35 in comfort and handling.
Excellent chassis technology makes the ix35 have excellent roll and body torsion resistance when cornering at high speed. When cornering at high speed, the tough suspension easily supports the gorgeous body, which is satisfactory enough according to the standards of SUV. Ix35 shows the superior flexibility and comfort of urban SUV, whether in narrow roads, mountain roads with numerous curves or complicated roadside parking lots.
Ix35 adopts electronic control timely four-wheel drive system, which travels in two-wheel drive mode under normal circumstances. When it starts quickly or passes through smooth roads, ECU automatically distributes driving force to the rear wheels.
In addition, in order to cope with bad road conditions, ix35 also has a four-wheel locking function, and when this function is started, the power will be equally distributed to the front and rear wheels. In addition, ix35 is equipped with HAC&DBC uphill and downhill auxiliary program and ESP body electronic stability system, which effectively improves the driving safety.
Shuttling through the hustle and bustle of the city, wandering between the mountains and streams, feeling the alternation between the city and nature, and experiencing the transformation from calm to wild, this is the brand-new life realm brought by Beijing Hyundai ix35.
Only with high performance can we gallop in the whole field. Ix35 can not only meet the diverse needs of urban people, so that people can enjoy an unprecedented driving experience, but also incorporate the excellent passability endowed by Beijing’s modern high-tech. No matter whether it is rugged or smooth, ix35 can "adapt freely" and release its chic charm in nature.
