Hyundai ix35 / Tucson ix launched

Hyundai has launched the ix35 / Tucson ix in Korea We reported a few days ago on the new Hyundai Tucson – the Hyundai ix35 in Europe – but we won’t get the release in Europe until Frankfurt, although there will be more dribbles of info before then.

This is yet another car from Hyundai that will create a few waves of consternation amongst established names like Ford and VW.
