Новый Туссан

Hyundai представили публике концепт Hyundai HED-6 ix-ONIC, который расскажет, как же выглядит новый кроссовер ix35 заменяющий модель Tucson. "Мускулистый" облик с азиатскими веяньями дизайна выглядит довольно неплохо, дизайнеры европейского дизайн-центра Hyundai в Рюссельсхайме время зря не теряли. Хотя не обошлось без заимствований у японских и европейских марок. Размеры машины равны: 4400 мм х 1850 мм х 1650 мм. Под капотом концепта турбированный бензиновый агрегат 1.6L мощностью 175 л.c. в паре с 6ст. автоматом с двухдисковым сцеплением. Официально машину представят через месяц в рамках Geneva Motor Show. В Европе автомобиль будут звать в соответствии с новой классификацией марки ix35, а вот для США имя Tucson останется неизменным. Для Европы автомобиль будут делать на заводе в Жилине (Словакия).

will be powered by Hyundai’s new 1.6-litre turbocharged gasoline engine that delivers an output of 175HP. This engine will be available in the production version as well other Hyundai models in the near future. It will also be joined by a new 2.0-liter turbo diesel producing 184HP.

Hyundai has well and truly left behind any lingering Korean car stereotypes as it reveals the first details of its brand new R-Engine Diesel powerplant.
The 2.0-litre version of the R-Engine outperforms any competitive offering, and will enter production next year to make its first appearance in the 2010 Tucson and Sonata models.
With power output of 135kW and 392Nm, the 2.0-litre unit eclipses similar offerings from Audi, BMW and Mercedes.
A 2.2-litre version provides even more performance with 147kW and 436Nm, and could find its way into a series of diesel performance cars in the Hyundai range.
The R-Engine benefits from the third generation common rail system developed by Bosch whose piezo-electric injectors deliver fuel at 1800 bar for an unprecedented degree of accuracy and control.
The all-aluminium R-Engine is fitted with a 16 valve dual overhead camshaft which is driven by an internal steel silent timing chain.
For reduced vibration and lower booming noise, the R gets a lower balancer shaft which has been encased in stiffened ladder frame housing for increased rigidity.
The R-Engine line-up is fitted with a lose-coupled Diesel particulate filter plus highly efficient exhaust gas recirculation with by-pass valve to meet strict Euro 5 emissions regulations.
The R-Engine is the result of an investment of over AUD$285million and an engineering team of 150 personnel.
Over 500 prototype engines were built during the 42 month development period where they were subjected to exhaustive testing under all imaginable environmental conditions.
The R-Engine brings Hyundai’s Diesel engine family fully up-to-date as it joins the U-Engine (1.1 litre, 1.4 litre and 1.6 litre), the A-Engine (2.5 litre) and S-Engine (3.0 litre V6).
