Hyundai‘s ix35 crossover is playing its part in elevating public perception of the previously budget brand. This was illustrated by an intense quizzing from a Ford Kuga owner at my local fuel pumps.
Having opted for an all-wheel drive 2.0-litre diesel variant, with a 40mpg average on a good day, the Ford owner conceded that the extra 10mpg averaged by our 1.7-litre diesel two-wheel drive Hyundai and a five-year warranty would bring it into his reckoning. He also noted the ix35 had a fair bit more stowage capacity – and that’s despite a full-size alloy compromising the Hyundai’s boot space.
