I have a 2013 Hyundai ix35 2.0 crdi 6AT 4wd,and it's a great car.I am 6 foot 6 and it's is so comfortable and spacious.And i get around 33 mpg in a combined circle.It's a huge improvement from the first generation Hyundai Tucson, which i also had before this ix35.
I bought an IX35 a few months ago and its the Premium model. Just over a year old now and well, of course, you can nit pick through the car and find fault but on the whole, its a good sensible and reliable car. We get nearly 500 miles with a full tank. It has all the toys for boys and with the panoramic roof, blue tooth, voice controlled dashboard. It has the full sized wheel in it and my wife loves the high driving position. Its the 1.7 diesel model and fuel consumption again, is good. We do like it and will have it for a few years.
Everyone here only likes german premium SUVs that cant afford, or buy cheap used german SUVs that soon need be repaired. Mazda is like 30k euro and this one, at the same specs is 24k euro. It is more reliable than a german SUV and of course cheaper to maintain. Considering that Insurance, gas and taxes are becoming so damn high, this car is perfect. Its just my opinion.
I really love my IX35 ! It got the right blend between fun, ergonomic, comfort, size. My only drawback is the fuel economy (Petrol), other than that, it's the best car I've ever had. my 2008 CR-V is great, but it's not as fun.
I'd like to see a feature comparison between the ix35 and the Kia Sportage.. both essentially the same car but with some differences obviously.. but I'd like a proper independent comparison between the two if you could.
What about a statistic regarding the frequency these cars are at the garage for reparations ? What are the most frequent parts failure and at what mileage ? This is what we are looking for, not poetries ....
A 10 years younger Matt Watson is too serious. 2023/2024 Matt Watson is way more fun😂😂😂... I send my regards to both of them. Congrats for all the excelent work so far.
but mazda worth that 4k because she is bigger ,have better engines with less consumption,much better performance,materials... Mazda Cx-5 with 150HP diesel engine outperform Hyundai ix 35 with 184hp in every task from max speed to acceleration ... Mazda CX-5 is in class in size with BMW X3, audi Q5 GLK ... Hyundai ix 35 is in class with Nissan Quashqai, and 184 hp version of ix35 is more expensive than Mazda CX-5 with 150hp.
Hyundai's often fall short in areas of handling and I am not so sure how good they are in crash tests? Because two models in the US the other being a Kia recently did badly.
i think u took it personal on this reviews, with the introduction on south Korea being world plastic whatever, i have got friends who own this car, they are very satisfied with it,
I think the Tucson/ix35 is already getting old... The competition is strong and I feel this car is not delivering anymore. In terms of safety, it does good, except for the latest small frontal offset crash test, where many other brands (like Toyota), including premium brands are not doing well. Only few brands like Subaru and Volvo did good for all their models on that demanding crash test. But I think this car must be replaced already... It cousin, the Kia Sportage, seems like a better option and it still looks more stylish.
No, I meant the name. In the US, the ix35 is called the "Santa Fe". Don't worry, I've been around the world many times. I am fully aware of the fuel price in Europe. I hope I no longer look like an ignorant American.
lol no but an audi q7 2011 has a reasonable price. I mean, why would i for example get a Dacia Duster?! Cheap, ugly, and not appealing to buy either... And I meant that they did a review on a S class 2014 which costs a fortune, and a Dacia is way too cheap and ugly to just look at. So what's in the middle? An audi Q7 ^^
Hmmm, after owning Australian and German cars I really can't see myself sitting in one of these Korean cars with their nasty interiors. Zero appeal given what I like in a car too, but that's me.
Looks cheap,plastic,and Korean ugly and he is not so cheap at all, performance of ix35 are relativ bad even with strongest engine in compare to competition with weaker engines.
okey, Looks cheap,plastic,and Korean ugly and he is not so cheap at all, performance of ix35 are relativ bad even with strongest engine in compare to competition with weaker engines.
kareem karam they are plastic garbage !! and they are not so cheap like somebody tell !! they give some stuff but everything else is middle age ., engines, performance ,speed, acceleration, ...
Absolutely ugly interior, full of plastic everywhere. Aspect of cheap thing inside. Outside may look better, but anyway, uncomparable with a Honda or a Mazda - if we refer only to asian SUVs. Now, indeed, the price is lower than its competitors, but this come also with a lower quality also too. Recently I saw Hyundai is selling coffee machines, air conditioners, TVs... No offence, but when you will see things like that happening at serious car brand? It is clearly they are made for an average user, so in the end, as we say.. it's still a Hyundai and not a premium brand!
What is a "premium brand" these days? I've had Mercedes's and BMWs and I wasn't impressed with either. Over priced junk, the replacement parts market is more valuable to these manufacturers than initial car sales

Oh, and another drawback is the ride quality, which can be a bit bouncy on rough surface.
Car buyer and Mat are one of the best car reviewers on youtube down to earth tell it how it is style
my dad had that car when we lived in germany it was a 2014 2.0l crdi premium 0-60 10.9s
If you listened to these reviewers you wouldn't buy any car
I love Hyundai's sense of humour when it comes to number plates.
I'd like to see a feature comparison between the ix35 and the Kia Sportage.. both essentially the same car but with some differences obviously.. but I'd like a proper independent comparison between the two if you could.
Mat, please tell us what is the watch you are using?
Oris Divers Titan Chronograph,
Hyundai seems quite good value for money =) Not any luxury car, but doesn't cost that much
What about a statistic regarding the frequency these cars are at the garage for reparations ? What are the most frequent parts failure and at what mileage ? This is what we are looking for, not poetries ....
When will we see a review of the audi a3 saloon? :)
did they improve the engines efficiency at all?
It's not a car I would buy for myself. But for what it is, it's somewhat impressive.
What car do you have Mat?
I bought a Hyundai x35 , manual,, 183000 km, 2014, diesel, 4x4 , secondhand. After 90 km the clutch died....
A 10 years younger Matt Watson is too serious. 2023/2024 Matt Watson is way more fun😂😂😂... I send my regards to both of them. Congrats for all the excelent work so far.
What happened to the sound quality in the cimmentry? It sounds terrible :( nice car though :)
Very useful, thanks.
When are you going to review new mazda 3 and new golf R ?
Nice car but can you compare it with renault koloes
Good car,cheap and reliable
The Mazda is £4k more than the Hyundai come on compare it to a similar priced car!!
but mazda worth that 4k because she is bigger ,have better engines with less consumption,much better performance,materials...

What's wrong with the sound lately?
Anyone else sees some resemblance with Kuga?
Always think of The Walking Dead when I see one of these, good car :)
Me too my grandpappy has one

Lol me 😂
It compete against the Sportage and Korando not CX-5 or CR-V
A young mat Watson 😂

After getting hit by the ugly stick so many times it just screams HELP! The interior says that it likes 80's music.
I wish it comes to India
It looks better than the Ford Ecosprt

Me
What is the difference between the GDi and CRDi engines ?
gdi-gasoline direct injection
crdi-diesel your welcome
+Jack Caskie crdi (common rail direct injection) so diesel
This looks different from the australian one it kinda looks werid
I don't understand. Is Santa Fe too intimidating for Europe?
you know what gas costs here?
No, I meant the name. In the US, the ix35 is called the "Santa Fe". Don't worry, I've been around the world many times. I am fully aware of the fuel price in Europe. I hope I no longer look like an ignorant American.
Jonathan Y Wu we have the Santa few in Europe. Aswell
Jack Coleman so is it called Santa Fe or ix35?
Jonathan Y Wu we have both
I have no interest in cars. I just watch them because they presenter is so interesting.

Terrible audio on the voice over sections...
nice license plate xD
The reg plate is 2016 but this was made in 2013.
It's reg plate wasn't registered in 2016 as it's probably customised or a demo.
Private reg
PLEASE DO A REVIEW ON AUDI Q7, GETTING SICK ON CARS THAT YOU EITHER CANNOT AFFORD OR ARE WAY TO CHEAP...
P.S.
Hie-N-Die XD
An Audi Q7 is affordable?
Tedrick Leong Perhaps he thinks is too cheap...
lol no but an audi q7 2011 has a reasonable price. I mean, why would i for example get a Dacia Duster?! Cheap, ugly, and not appealing to buy either... And I meant that they did a review on a S class 2014 which costs a fortune, and a Dacia is way too cheap and ugly to just look at. So what's in the middle? An audi Q7 ^^
David Towers, only the americans pronounce Hunday, the Koreans and the rest of the world: Hee-Yun-Dai.
Review a Cadillac Escalade!
It looks fine.. But I still think its still dull and for old people..
Hmmm, after owning Australian and German cars I really can't see myself sitting in one of these Korean cars with their nasty interiors. Zero appeal given what I like in a car too, but that's me.
It's has a great interior,compared to the x3,cx-5 or the Tiguan,those are a triplet of really nasty cars.
fugly wraparound tail-lights
i prefer the Ford Kuga
zombie apocalypse car :)
The sound is very bad...
X
The sound look like u at toilet
Looks cheap,plastic,and Korean ugly and he is not so cheap at all, performance of ix35 are relativ bad even with strongest engine in compare to competition with weaker engines.
