Crossover Hyundai ix25, the future of our "Crete"?

30 August 2017

At the motor show in Chengdu, introduced the updated ix25 for China

Another premiere of the motor show in Chengdu (China), important not only for the domestic Chinese market, but in the long term for Russia, was the debut of the new compact crossover Hyundai ix25, the same popular model Creta. We will remind, in China this car for the local market are harvested at SP BAIC still in 2014, so time is of the restyling, as they say, has come.

Updated ix25 is easy to find a brand new grille, enlarged a half times the commercials, and visually combined with her new enlarged block-lights linkowanie siteelements. In addition, significantly revised front bumper, headlights and running lights become horizontal.

At the rear of the ix25 has a new bumper and lads original dual exhaust system. The wheelbase has not changed – 2590 mm, but overall length increased due to new bumpers and 20 mm (4290 mm).

There is such a moment – for example, version Creta in Latin America, shown last fall in Brazil, although similar to the updated "Chinese" ix25, but there are differences in the styling. In this case, I wonder which option would be like our updated "Kret" a year and a half.

Major changes have ix25 – under the hood, since the range of engines almost completely revised. As you know, China recently introduced "draconian" taxes on cars, the engine capacity exceeds 1.6 liters, so the manufacturers refuse from the engines larger capacity.

The victim in this case was the 160-strong motor 2.0 l, known to the Russians as well as the 1.6-liter turbo engine of the same power, and on change by it came a little more than a weak "turboservice" a smaller volume of 1.4 l (140 HP), mounted with double clutch 7-speed "robot". Base engine 1.6-liter that develops 115 HP, remained in the lineup. Four-wheel drive versions for the PRC and has not appeared – perhaps too expensive for this segment.
