Three years after the presentation of the ix35, Hyundai is proceeding with an upgrade of its compact SUV. The changes include minor interventions in the external appearance but – mainly – additions to the range of engines.
The grilles on the air intake are now painted in the body color, while the lighting fixtures feature LED daytime running lights and Bi-Xenon headlights.
The 2-liter Theta gasoline engine is replaced by the new GDI of similar capacity, which produces 178 PS and also equips the i40 mid-size sedan.
