The first formal photo of the 2013 Hyundai ix35 refresh has been disclosed with a variety of technical enhancements.
With its display at Geneva about to happen, the ix35 mid-size SUV hasn’t undergone any major exterior styling changes with the exception of new Bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lights and a slightly redesigned upper grille. Inside, the cabin has received some material upgrades and additional detail enhancements to the trim.
The engines have also been changed starting with the Nu 2.0-liter GDI which is more power oriented coupled with fuel economy when compared to the Theta-II 2.0-liter engine it replaces. The R diesel engine receives clean technology such as LP-EGR.
Finally the new ix35 also gets the Hyundai’s three style FLEX STEER driving system where Normal, Comfort and Sport approach can be selected.
Let us wait till Geneva where this vehicle will be unveiled but for now let us have a look at the pictures.
