Information on repair and maintenance of Hyundai ix55 cars electronically
Hyundai iX55 (Hyundai Veracruz) is a large SUV produced by the Korean automobile manufacturer Hyundai Motor Company since August 2006. Veracruz name is used in the main Asian and American markets. The car was imported to Europe in 2009, taking the alphanumeric designation ix55, which characterizes the latest cars produced by the Seoul company.
Production of the five-door seven-seater model ended in 2012, and it was replaced by the third-generation Hyundai Santa Fe in a long-wheelbase version. It replaces the Hyundai Terracan, demonstrating more road requirements and comfort. Unlike Hyundai Terracan, Hyundai Veracruz has a monocoque chassis and front-wheel or all-wheel drive. Some of the Hyundai Veracruz's competitors include Mazda CX-9, Toyota Sequoia, Subaru Tribeca, Honda Pilot and Kia Mohave.
Characteristics of Hyundai ix55
The car, largely developed by Hyundai's California-based R&D center, uses a platform borrowed from the Hyunda Santa Fe and Hyunda Sonica, but redesigned to fit the size of this large SUV with a body length of over 4.8 meters.
The car was produced with two engines - a 3.8-liter V6 gasoline engine with a maximum power of 260 hp and a 3.0-liter V6 CRDI diesel with a power of 240 hp with a variable geometry turbocharger and common-rail direct injection. This engine complies with the Euro IV standard.
The engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, which is another feature that sets the Veracruz apart from its competitors. Most of them have a five-speed automatic transmission, including the competing Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander.
Even the base Hyundai Veracruz comes standard with amenities like electronic stability control, traction control, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution, front seat-mounted side airbags, roof-mounted side curtain airbags for all rows, 17-inch alloy wheels, a six-speaker CD audio system with iPod connectivity, power heated outside mirrors with approach and turn signal lights, cruise control with steering wheel controls, power windows, mirrors, remote door locks, and more.
The suspension layout uses a double-wishbone architecture high up in the front, while in the rear we find multiple wishbones. Front traction with the possibility of electronic insertion at the rear (integrated traction circuit that can be inserted). The transmission is a 6-speed sequential automatic from Aisin, which is very smooth when shifting manually and is designed to meet the needs of Asian and American customers.
Car safety is guaranteed by the ESP stability control system, traction control, tire pressure sensor, active head restraints and front, side and rear airbags.
The ride quality in Hyundai Veracruz is quite similar to the Lexus, which also helps to give it a sense of luxury.
The engine provides decent acceleration even on highway climbs, although, like most cars in this class, it can feel a little sluggish when fully loaded with people and their belongings.
