The HYUNDAI IX35 (2010-13) 5DR MPV 2.0 161 EU5 STYLE is a five-door compact SUV, offering a raised driving position and practical family-car space rather than the shape of a conventional MPV. In the UK it sits in the popular crossover class, competing with cars such as the Nissan Qashqai and Kia Sportage. mycarcheck.com has recorded 163 look-ups across 64 distinct VINs, a helpful sample for this particular HYUNDAI IX35. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £2,500, average latest recorded mileage of 129,000 miles and around four previous keepers. The recorded average annual mileage, 23,000 miles, is also notably high, so check each car’s history and condition carefully. With its roomy cabin, useful boot and easy-going road manners, it suits families, couples and commuters wanting more space and visibility than a hatchback. The 2.0-litre Style offers a comfortable alternative to rivals, though running costs and fuel use deserve checking.
