Introducing the Hyundai ix20 (2010-2019), a compact MPV that has found its sweet spot in the New Zealand market. Renowned for its spacious interior, fuel-efficient engines, and practicality, the ix20 has become the go-to vehicle for families and individuals seeking a versatile ride. Whether you're commuting, running errands, or heading on family adventures, this vehicle delivers an unmatched balance of comfort, efficiency, and functionality.
Common issues for the Hyundai ix20 in NZ include potential diesel particulate filter (DPF) problems in diesel models (again, if used mostly for short trips), issues with the air conditioning system, and possible wear and tear on the suspension components. Also, be aware of potential problems with the electric power steering system.
WOF inspections for the ix20 will cover the usual safety items, including tires, brakes, lights, and suspension. Pay particular attention to the condition of the rear suspension, as it can be prone to wear. Also, check for any signs of rust, particularly around the underbody and wheel arches.
The ix20 provides a comfortable ride and a suite of decent features that make it stand out in its class. With both petrol and diesel options available, its diesel variant offers impressive fuel economy. It's vital, however, to maintain the ix20 properly. Regular service intervals typically suggest checks every 10,000-15,000 km. Be vigilant about checking the air conditioning system and suspension components, as these can wear with use, especially when transporting families. For instance, around 150,000 km, give special attention to the cooling system, specifically the water pump, thermostat, and radiator hoses. [This naturally links to /shop/cooling].
