The HYUNDAI IX35 (2010-13) 5DR MPV 4WD 2.0 CRDI DPF 134 EU5 STYLE 6SPD is a family-sized, five-door SUV, offering a higher driving position and practical cabin rather than the shape of a conventional hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable, sensible compact SUVs, competing with models such as the Nissan Qashqai and Kia Sportage. Mycarcheck.com recorded 204 look-ups covering 85 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot of buyer interest. Across those checks, the average private-sale valuation was £3,600, with average recorded mileage of 96,000 miles and annual mileage of 7,000. Cars had around three previous keepers on average, so checking the history and condition of each example is especially worthwhile. The diesel engine and four-wheel drive make it a versatile choice for families, trips and drivers facing changeable weather; its six-speed manual suits longer journeys. The ix35 is roomy and practical, a comfortable alternative to more car-like crossovers.
