Often, many car owners do not know where to Russian market bring a particular model of car. The same can be said about the owners of the crossover, known in automotive world called Hyundai ix35. This car model is produced in several countries around the world at once. And where the Hyundai ix35 is assembled for the Russian consumer, we will now tell. Let's start with the fact that this crossover saw the world in 2009 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. In Russia, the car began to deliver a year later. The first generation of the model was exported to the Russian market from three countries at once:
- Czech Republic
- South Korea
- Slovakia.
In addition, cars for domestic market collected in China. In the Russian Federation there is no enterprise for the production of the Hyundai ix35 model, the current generation of the car is assembled in the Czech Republic (Noshovitsa) at the Kia Motors Slovakia enterprise. The current generation of the model will be great option, both for the youth audience and for modern business people.
How to find out the country of assembly
Another country involved in the production of this crossover model is the United States. Cars are assembled here for Canada, South America and the domestic market. Cars of Czech and Slovak assembly are supplied to the European market. China, on the other hand, assembles cars for its domestic market; their cars are not exported. Today, many car owners do not buy the Hyundai ix35 crossover if they do not know where it was brought from. If you want to know where the Hyundai ix35 was made, check it with a special VIN code on any decryption site. Also, by the following designation, you will find out the country of assembly:
- U - Korean production (Ul-San);
- L- Slovak assembly (Zilina);
- J - Czech assembly (Noshovitsa).
In Russia, there are still Korean-made crossovers from earlier periods of model assembly, but only in small quantities. The owners of real "Koreans" claim that soft plastic was used when assembling the car. Some are unhappy with the increased gap between the body and the bumper. On crossovers of the Czech assembly, the suspension geometry was changed and reworked steering knuckles. Also, the manufacturer has corrected the subframe in the updated model, so that the driver will not feel vibration during the trip. The owners say that on level ground pavement in the "Sport" mode, it is very convenient to drive the car, which cannot be said about the "Standard" version.
Crossover Specifications
South Korean car perfectly combines impeccable style and excellent quality. Russian consumers offer a car with two options for power plants: diesel and gasoline. The first version of the engine has two degrees of boost: 184 and 136 Horse power. petrol unit produces power of 165 hp. It doesn’t matter at all where the Hyundai ix35 is produced, because the Russian buyer will be able to purchase a car only with a derated power plant, issuing no more than 150 horsepower. After fixing bugs previous version crossover, a better quality is installed on the latest modification of the "Korean" diesel engine. And the manufacturer replaced the five-speed gearbox with a six-speed one. All owners can safely operate the car not only on a flat surface, but also off-road.
In the Chinese auto industry, the practice of producing one model is widespread. different generations: so, at the moment, a joint venture between BAIC and Hyundai produces compact crossover Tucson of the third generation and its predecessor with the index ix35. The new ix35 is intended exclusively for the Chinese market and is intended to expand the local line of SUVs of the Korean brand, while it is not a fact that the old ix35 will be discontinued - most likely, it will remain in service as the most budgetary compact SUV.
The new Hyundai ix35 is slightly shorter than the Tussan: 4435 mm versus 4475 mm, respectively (the length of the old ix35 is 4420 mm), but at the same time it is positioned as a more spacious, family model. If Tussant has a conditionally coupe-shaped profile, then the ix35 looks more angular and versatile, in addition, the designers specially emphasized the trunk, visually separating it from the passenger part with wide vertical pillars painted in body color.
There are no photos of the interior yet - the car debuted with tightly tinted windows. Technical data has not been released either, but the Chinese media managed to find out that the new ix35 will be equipped with the same 2.0-liter gasoline naturally aspirated engines as the local Tucson and the old Tucson ix35, and the top version will receive a new 1.4-liter turbo engine paired with 7-speed robot.

Hyundai is quite popular and recognizable in our country. This is due to the fact that cars under this brand are very inexpensive, but of high quality.
The name of the corporation is translated as "modernity". By the way, some pronounce it as "Hyundai" or "Hyundai". In fact, it is called "Hyundai". But whatever you call her, her inventions will not become less durable. In this article, we would like to consider an excellent Hyundai crossover x35. Or rather, where the Hyundai ix35 is assembled.
Where are Hyundai cars assembled?
According to 2014 data, engineers Hyundai produced about 1.73 million cars. Agree, this figure is admirable. Collect inventions of concern in many countries and continents. From there, they ship almost everywhere. So, cars from Hyundai are assembled in:
- South Korea. The factory is located in Ulsan. More than 2/3 of the company's inventions are assembled here. Most of the cars are transported from here to other countries;
- in Russia. The factories are located in Taganrog and St. Petersburg. Since 2010, cars have not been assembled in Taganrog. But in St. Petersburg, where production was launched in 2008, production, on the contrary, is gaining momentum. It is from this conveyor that more than 80% of all cars come out;
- and Turkey. Apart from South Korea, this plant is the first in the world. It has been operating since 1998, and its production volume is simply breathtaking;
- in America, Brazil, India, Czech Republic and China. From here, the produced cars are not supplied only to local markets, and they do not reach Russia.
Hyundai ix35 is the company's most popular crossover. It is of good quality and at the same time affordable. It was first released to our market in 2010.
The first generation of the model was supplied to our customers from three countries. We are talking about Slovakia, the Czech Republic and South Korea. Also, some copies were shipped from China. Even the current generation comes from the Czech Republic. Although there is a plant in Russia, its capacity for a crossover is not enough.
If your car was made before 2010, then you can find out where it was made using a special code. You just go to a site that can decipher the VIN abbreviation and enter the number in the search field. Also, this can be done by the eleventh letter of the cipher. U means Korea, J means Czech Republic, and if L is indicated, then the machine is made in Slovakia. But, this is only if the car is brought into the country with the help of an authorized dealer.
Korean Hyundai assembly ix35 can also be found in Russia. But, there is very little of it. Those who were lucky enough to purchase such crossovers say that there is softer plastic. The Slovak assembly has some drawbacks. We are talking, for example, about large gaps between the body and the bumper.
Hyundai ix35 is one of the oldest crossovers brought to Russia for a long time. But, nevertheless, it does not lose its popularity. The first generation was called Tucson, and we had it almost a decade ago.
Since that time, the Hyundai ix35 has not changed much in appearance. And here are the new specifications quite modern and acceptable. If you compare the new and old generation of the body, you can only notice the modified optics and fins on the sides.
Since a crossover with European settings is supplied to our market, the steering and suspension settings are not very acceptable. After all, they are adapted more for asphalt, and not for off-road. Only two powerful motors save the situation. The gasoline unit is a two-liter, and produces 150 horsepower. A two-liter diesel engine is 136 and 184-horsepower. Thanks to engineers, the friction between parts is reduced. mechanical box gear shifted from a five-speed to a six-speed.
The ground clearance of the Hyundai ix35 is 175 millimeters. Unfortunately, there are short overhangs that do not allow driving on strong off-road. Coupling rear wheels can be blocked. But, this can only be done at speeds up to 40 kilometers per hour. New fists are used to fasten the levers. This greatly improved the course on a straight track. The subframe is fixed rubber bushings. This helps reduce workload. Thus, although the steering settings are not adapted to our roads, new details help make the crossover passable enough. Of the shortcomings, it is worth noting the hydraulic booster. It acts more like a toy than a functional program. But, in sport mode it works perfect.
This is about asphalt. But on country roads, the car shows itself just fine. Even a slightly tuned suspension absorbs all the bumps and pits. Four-wheel drive will take the car out of any dirt. Moreover, the geometric cross is designed to overcome all the irregularities. On the dirt road, you can safely go up to a hundred kilometers per hour. As it turned out, only very deep holes penetrate the suspension. At the same time, in any case, the car remains quiet. By purchasing a Hyundai ix35 of any assembly, you can expect excellent sound insulation.
The car "Hyundai AX35" reviews are mostly positive. This is a reliable and comfortable Korean car, which is intermediate between expensive cars the highest class and budget SUVs and crossovers. Based on the feedback from the owners of these cars, you can determine the advantages, disadvantages of the car, the features of its operation.
Design
Looks amazing "Hyundai AX35". Owner reviews confirm this. The car has a modern stylish design of a youth crossover, although it is positioned on the market as an SUV. The car has all the necessary qualities of an SUV.
As for the interior, everything here is also done at the highest level: a lot of space in the cabin, expensive high-quality plastic, a futuristic panel. But design is subjective. Many potential buyers do not like the new Hyundai AX35, they also write negative reviews about it, but only in the context of design.
Salon
As for the interior, everything is in order with it. The stove heats it up in 5 minutes. There are no squeaks in the cabin, the skin sits firmly, the plastic does not bend anywhere. There are also disadvantages in the cabin: the rear seats do not fold out well, so it will not work much to increase the volume of the trunk. So lovers of fishing and outdoor recreation will not be able to fully sleep in the car.
Body
Koreans usually do enough good bodies, however, this car has large gaps between the elements. Of course, there is nothing terrible in this, but it still does not inspire confidence. There are also customer complaints about the tailgate, which closes very loudly, and not even the first time.
The trunk is small here, despite the fact that this is an SUV. Unfortunately, wheel arches eat up a lot of space.
Suspension
If you believe the reviews about the Hyundai AX35, then the suspension in this car is very tough and explosive. When driving on a rough road, some knocks are constantly heard from behind, although the car service always says that everything is fine. On the other hand, the suspension here is very solid and knocked down. Thanks to it, a fairly heavy load can be transported by car, the car confidently holds the road, even if it is not paved. Within four years of operation on a car, only the front struts need to be replaced from the suspension. Considering that these are just "consumables", there is nothing wrong with this - this is the norm.
Engine and fuel consumption
Most often, these cars are equipped with two-liter "aspirated". Judging by the reviews, the Hyundai AX35 is unpretentious to the quality of gasoline and works equally well on AI-92 and AI-95 fuels, but it is better to fill it with gasoline with a high octane rating. In the city, the engine power is more than enough, but with a load the car becomes dull sharply, and the dynamics are greatly reduced. This also applies to highway driving.
Fuel consumption in the mode of quiet driving around the city is 10 liters, which is an excellent indicator, given the dimensions of the car and a fairly powerful two-liter engine. In winter, fuel consumption in the city rises to 13 liters. On the highway, the car consumes 8 liters per hundred when driving at a speed of 90 km / h.
According to reviews, the Hyundai AX35 diesel does not have the problems that a gasoline engine has. On diesel fuel, the car consumes less fuel, is more dynamic, and when loading the trunk, if it loses momentum, it is not as significant as in the case of a gasoline engine.
Separately, it is worth mentioning the operation in winter. Even at high negative temperatures, the car starts with a half turn of the starter. But at the same time, the engine is unnaturally noisy. Most drivers did not believe that the car was using Gas engine, believed that there was a diesel engine inside. Be that as it may, there are no problems with the engine, even in winter. So, according to the reviews of car owners "Hyundai AX35" - great car for Russia, where large negative temperatures in winter are the norm.
disadvantages
Any car has certain disadvantages. Judging by the reviews, the 2014 Hyundai AX35 has the following:
