The only gearbox offered is the Shiftronic 6-speed automatic transmission , developed with the assistance of Japanese Aisin specialists.
The front suspension of the Hyundai ix55 is made on MacPherson struts, the rear is a multi-link design. The brakes on all crossover wheels are disc brakes. All-wheel drive in the Hyundai ix55 is made according to an electronic-connected circuit (Haldex multi-plate clutch [1] [2] ).
