  • 2013 Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell

    Hyundai has announced the 2013 ix35 Fuel Cell, which has been selected for the second consecutive year by the European Commission-backed Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) to demonstrate the real-world benefits of hydrogen fuel cell technology.

    The world’s first production fuel cell electric vehicle, the ix35 Fuel Cell, will be made available throughout 2013 to members of the European Parliament, European Commission officials and other policymakers for test drives in Brussels, Belgium.

    “We are delighted that the FCH JU has chosen the ix35 Fuel Cell as its European demonstration vehicle and look forward to working with them to promote the benefits of hydrogen and fuel cell technology.  We are sure that the leading policymakers and opinion-formers who drive this remarkable vehicle will find its ability to deliver performance and comfort without compromising its eco-friendly nature withtailpipe emissions highly compelling.”, commented President of Hyundai MotorEurope B.K. Rimsaid.

    Using Hyundai’s proprietary technology, the ix35 Fuel Cell’s fuel cell stack converts hydrogen into electricity, which turns the vehicle’s motor. The only emission generated is water.

    The ix35 Fuel Cell can be refuelled with hydrogen in only a few minutes. 0-100 km/h in 12.5 seconds and a top speed of 160 km/h (100 mph). It can travel up to 594 km (369 miles) on a single tank of fuel.

  • Facelifted Hyundai ix35 To Be Revealed In Geneva

    hyundai-ix35-facelift-THUMBHyundai has just released the first image showing its facelifted ix35. In addition it has been disclosed that the model is going to be revealed in Geneva this week. The new ix35 comes equipped with improved powertrain line-up, which features the European-developed gasoline engine named ‘Nu’ 2,0-litre GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection).

    The latter delivers more power but still has greater economy than the ‘Theta-II’ 2,0-litre engine it replaces. Furthermore, the ‘R’ diesel engine receives clean technology, such as LP-EGR (low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation).

    Facelifted Hyundai ix35 benefits from Hyundai’s three-mode FLEX STEER driving system, where the driver can choose from Normal, Comfort and Sport modes to tailor levels of feedback and the overall driving experience. In addition, Bi-Xenon headlamps and a TFT Supervision cluster will deliver better clarity and sense of greater joy to driving.

    On the other hand, the interior receives a host of material upgrades which enhance the quality, along with some detail improvements to the trim. In fact, the styling, dynamic and technical upgrades of this model make sure that it keeps its successful character.

    Another interesting fact is that the ix35 became the fastest-selling model in the brand’s European history and still keeps its huge popularity. It was the first model to include Hyundai’s ‘fluidic sculpture’ form language.
