The Korean crossover Hyundai ix35 was in demand in Russia quite a bit, and therefore there are now a lot of these cars on the secondary market. In addition, some even “hang” very attractive price tags. But is it worth buying such a car? What should you pay special attention to, which specimens should you be afraid of? The AvtoVzglyad portal answers these and other questions.
Recall that the Hyundai ix35 was produced in 2010, and the Koreans carried out a restyling in 2013. Now the all-wheel drive version of 2014 with a mileage of about 100,000 km can be purchased for 1,500,000 rubles. A mono-drive SUV with 70,000 km on the clock, assembled in 2015, costs about the same amount.
Before buying, you need to inspect the body – the paintwork can be attributed to the weak side of the “Korean”. Chips and scratches are even on those cars that have been treated very carefully. Corrosion has not passed the ix35 either: rust appears on the underside of the tailgate and front pillars.
The most popular engine is a gasoline engine with a volume of two liters and a power of 150 horsepower. Of. Like other units of the Hyundai-Kia alliance, it often has wear on the cylinder walls, and there can be several reasons for this. As an option, the owner has saved on maintenance and refilled cheap engine oil. Or the process of decomposition of the neutralizing cells has begun, from which the ceramic dust enters and acts as an abrasive, gradually approaching the overhaul.
As for gearboxes, the vast majority of ix35s are not found with “mechanics”, but with a hydromechanical “automatic”. It is quite reliable and does not cause problems, but if jerks appear in the movement, this indicates that the valve body is clogged with wear products or the oil temperature sensor needs to be replaced soon.
In the suspension, pay attention to the “gum” – they are replaced every 40,000 km. Ball bearings and wheel bearings “live” about 60,000 km. The brake discs are rather short-lived, and the front ones in particular get it. A signal that it’s time to update the parts is a beating on the steering wheel when braking. And it is better to use original spare parts, not Chinese ones, because Asian consumables do not differ in quality.
To summarize. In general, a used Hyundai ix35 is eligible for purchase. But you should carefully consider the inspection and diagnosis of the power unit: badass in the cylinders will cost the new owner dearly. Yes, and the repair of the “box” can take a lot out of the family budget
