Following the success of its top-of-the-range ix35
Highlander AWD R-Series turbo diesel model, Hyundai Motor Company Australia is introducing a new ix35
Highlander AWD petrol engine variant.
Already available in the mid-trim ix35 Elite AWD model, the new 2.4-litre petrol Highlander expands the
current line-up in the Hyundai 5-star ANCAP safety rated ix35 range. The rapid success of ix35 has seen it
move to third best selling compact SUV in Australia in November, just 10 months after its launch.
The ix35 now offers even more choice to customers looking for a compact SUV, delivering high levels of
standard equipment, good fuel economy and striking good looks, with six model variants now available across
the range.
“To date we have struggled to keep up with customer demand for the ix35, with the top of the range
Highlander version accounting for almost half of all sales enquiries”, commented Oliver Mann, Hyundai’s
Director of Marketing. “The implementation of additional production capacity for European markets means
we can increase ix35 supply – and customers are demanding more ix35 Highlanders!”
A modern, light, and clean running petrol engine, the 2.4-litre Theta II offers good fuel efficiency and
optimises the balance between durability and economy. The engine is matched to a six-speed automatic
transmission with electronic sequential manual mode which has been developed specifically to meet the needs
of the ix35’s 2WD and AWD drive systems.
The four-cylinder 2.4-litre Theta II petrol engine which delivers a maximum power output of 130 kW @
6,000 rpm, peak torque of 227 Nm @ 4,000 rpm and offers a combined fuel consumption of 9.2 L/100 km with a
low CO2 output of just 219 g/km. Note: Australian Design Rules 81/02 static laboratory combined average city
and highway cycle test. Fuel consumption will vary depending in a combination of driving habits and the
condition of the vehicle.
