With the ix35, Hyundai has created a new standard for Compact Sports Utility Vehicles. In building this breakthrough urban cruiser, almost every system and component of the ix35 has been designed from the ground up. Our uncompromising aim has been to ensure that it delivers form with function; safety matched by comfort; technology that delivers simplicity; and power on the road that’s complemented by exceptional performance and outstanding economy.
The ix35's new-generation design is a balance of sweeping curves, muscular form and sharp definition. Hyundai's European Design Centre has developed these 'Fluidic Sculpture' design principles to make the ix35 easy on the eye, and smooth on the road.
The ix35 is backed by Australia’s First 5 Year Unlimited Kilometre Warranty. It’s Hyundai’s standard promise of excellence. In addition, ix35 comes with 12 months Hyundai Premium Assist – a 24 hours, 365 days a year roadside assistance service that will never leave you stranded. Conditions apply.
To manoeuvre into a tight space, simply fold-in the electric side mirrors. All it takes is the push of a button located inside the driver's door. The ix35's side mirrors also feature indicator lights for high-visibility, and triple signal one-touch operation for added safety.
Let the light shine in while all your passengers enjoy panoramic sky views. The ix35's audacious glass roof creates a true sense of space, with dual-panels above front and rear seats. The electronic controlled centre panel can be fully opened or tilted partly open.
Convenient and secure Proximity Smart Key technology on Elite and Highlander modes lets you lock and unlock your ix35 without taking the key from your pocket. Perfect for when your hands are full, or escaping the rain. Once inside, simply start the engine with a push of a button.
Listen to your music any way you like in the ix35 – through iPod, CD, radio, MP3 and USB connectivity. The premium six speaker system features a large screen display, high mounted speakers and tweeters. Steering wheel mounted audio controls add convenience and safety.
The ix35 provides individual comfort for all passengers. Standard air conditioning features easy-to-use manual temperature control, with separate adjustable vents for front and back seat passengers. Highlander models also include automatic dual-zone climate control and cluster ionizer to clean the air while the air conditioner is operating.
Experience a new level of comfort that makes every drive a pleasure. Features include enhanced road stability, ergonomically designed interior, and high-quality materials inviting to the touch. The ix35 allows you to configure a multitude of seating options for your ultimate comfort.
The ix35 is a genuine crossover – available in Active 2-wheel drive (2WD) or the Elite and Highlander All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) models. These urban nomads can take you comfortably through city streets or outback terrain. The suspension system has been developed and tuned for Australian conditions.
Available with the Active model, this latest generation all aluminium four cylinder petrol engine delivers 122kW power via 5 speed manual, or optional 6 speed automatic transmission. The 2.0 Theta-II delivers smooth performance with excellent 8.5 l/100km* fuel economy.

The top of the range all wheel drive Highlander and Elite are both equipped with the stunning R-series CRDi turbo Diesel engine – the most powerful Diesel engine in its class. With its 135kW power, and staggering 392Nm torque, the 2.0 R-series has comparable performance to much larger engines. The engine provides sporty acceleration and agility, yet with a small car fuel economy of just 7.5 l/100km* and very low CO2 emissions of 198g/100km.^

This frequently-used safety feature is activated automatically when driving off from a standing start, on an uphill climb. It minimises backward rolling, helping to prevent any possible collision with the vehicle behind you and providing a smoother start-off.
With six airbags as standard, the ix35 gives you peace-of-mind that all your passengers are protected. The driver and front passenger airbags are supported by dual-side front (thorax) airbags, while roof-mounted side curtain airbags extend from front to rear.
Stay visible and stay safe. The ix35's headlight sensors detect lighting conditions and automatically turn on when required. This includes low-light environments such as tunnels or covered car parks.
A rear-view camera built-in to all Highlander models assists you to reverse with safety. A live colour image from the camera appears in a LCD display within the driver's rear-view mirror. Smart Park Assist technology helps you reverse park by indicating the position of objects behind your ix35.
