• 2.0 R-series Engine

  

  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.^

Safety

• ANCAP 5 STAR SAFETY RATING

  

  All models of the ix35 are equipped with a comprehensive array of advanced safety features that help you control the vehicle in challenging conditions. No wonder ix35 has achieved an ANCAP 5 star rating – the highest possible safety rating for a motor vehicle in Australia.
  
  The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) enhances safety under emergency braking situations by preventing your brakes from locking up and distributing braking force according to your vehicle’s load.
  
  Similarly, in an emergency manoeuvre, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps keep the vehicle on track, while Hyundai’s Traction Control System (TCS) monitors your grip, reducing wheel spin so that you can accelerate on slippery or uneven road surfaces. With Elite and Highlander, on demand All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) distributes power evenly to all four wheels to improve traction, giving you greater control and confidence on slippery, wet or uneven surfaces.

• Hill-start assist control

  

  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. After applying the brake, the Hill-Start Assist Control will hold the vehicle for approximately three seconds.

• SIX Airbags

  

  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.

• Dusk sensing headlights (Elite & Highlander)

  

  ix35's headlight sensors detect lighting conditions and automatically turn on when required to ensure you stay visible and stay safe. Their function includes low-light environments such as tunnels or covered car parks.

• Reversing camera

  

  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 provides a graphical overlay on the camera image to guide you when reversing into a parking spot.

• Safety window

  

  A driver's side safety window is just one of the advanced safety features of ix35. The safety window can prevent serious injury, by automatically stopping and moving down if it is travelling upwards and any part of your body – or any other object – enters its path.

• Active head restraints

  

  Front active head restraints, standard on all ix35 models, offer superior whiplash protection in a rear impact. They use the force of the occupant's body against the seatback to move the head restraint forward so that the head and neck of the front-seat occupant are supported.
