New turbodiesel In Hyundai's ix35 range

New turbodiesel In Hyundai's ix35 range

Date: 2014-12-05

Hyundai has added a new turbodiesel derivative to their very popular ix35 range in South Africa, combining a frugal Euro 5 emission standards engine with a well-positioned specification level that will make this addition to their SUV line-up a very lucrative offer.

The addition of the ix35 1.7 Premium with its 85 kW, 260 Nm turbocharged diesel engine expands the range of this SUV model of Hyundai Automotive South Africa to 7 derivatives. The power mill's 1 685 cc capacity is slightly smaller than the 1 995 cc engine of its ix35 2.0 Elite turbodiesel partner in the range, but it generates more than enough power and torque, with lower emissions.

"The ix35 has been one of the strongest pillars in Hyundai Automotive SA's vehicle range, and when we were given the opportunity to bring the 1.7 Premium turbodiesel to the South African customers, there was no hesitation. We expect this derivative to appeal to an SUV buyer who is looking for the benefits of a frugal turbodiesel engine, but at a more affordable price and with a specification level that still offers the luxury driving experience that made the ix35 a top-seller for us," says Stanley Anderson, marketing director of Hyundai Automotive SA.
