The Nissan Qashqai is a really great all-rounder. If you're buying purely on price, it's hard to ignore the ix35 as it does appear to be a lot of car for the money – but when you look at the larger picture, the Nissan Qashqai is so much better in almost every way.

| Manufacturer | Hyundai |
| Also called | Hyundai Tucson (2010–2017) |
| Production | 2010–present |
| Body and chassis |
Reassuringly, all ix35 engines are chain driven, so there's no cambelt to worry about, although fresh brake fluid is needed every two years/40,000 miles, at £31.50.
Hyundai Tucson is 1537-1666 kg and is 4475 mm long, 1850 mm in width, and 1650 mm in height. Hyundai ix35 provides 4410 mm in length and 1820 mm in width, and the car is 1650 mm in height. The wheelbase is 2670 mm for Hyundai Tucson vs.2640 mm for Hyundai ix35.
The Hyundai ix35 is a family SUV in the mould of the Nissan Qashqai, Skoda Yeti and its sister car, the Kia Sportage.
It comes with two-wheel drive and a manual gearbox. In its most efficient form, with 16-inch alloys fitted, the 1.7-litre diesel returns fuel economy of 53mpg and has CO2 emissions of 139g/km. This translates to a £130 annual road tax bill.
What are the most common problems with a used Nissan Qashqai hatchback? Several owners have experienced clutch problems, reporting smoke and a strong burning smell. The issue can be fixed, but dealers have been known to take more than one attempt to cure it.
The 1.6-litre petrol engine with the stop-start manages a decent 44.1mpg and 149g/km of carbon dioxide emissions. However, best bet for Hyundai ix35 emissions is the 1.7-litre diesel engine with its 139g/km of CO2, but best for economy is the 134bhp 2.0-litre courtesy of 49.6mpg.
The Kia Sportage sold in the US certainly did have its share of problems. In some cases, the engine failures were traced to a faulty batch of engine bearings, in others, a leaking oil sump was blamed for allowing too much oil to escape, leading to oil starvation which destroyed the whole engine.
Hyundai and Kia R series diesel engines in the ix35 and Sportage do run a particulate filter, however they are catalysed unlike many other manufacturers.
One of the joys of driving a manual is that you have a wonderful cable that can be adjusted as the clutch wears. This cable gives the clutch on your ix35 a little bit more life before it dies for good.
New Hyundai Tucson Replaces the ix35.

This unit and the smaller diesel are front-wheel drive only, while the flagship 2.0-litre CRDi comes with the brand's electronically controlled four-wheel drive transmission.
What's the used Hyundai ix35 4x4 like? The engine range powering the ix35 is rather biased towards diesels – there's an economical 1.7 and a more powerful 2.0-litre, the latter of which represents the only way to get an automatic gearbox or four-wheel drive.
