Hyundai Maxcruz

Hyundai Maxcruz: which version to buy

The Hyundai Maxcruz ran as one generation from 2012-01-01 to 2018-05-31, as an SUV 5-doors with 4 versions. There is no second generation in this dataset to “wait for,” so the choice is only among those four: two 2.2 AT diesels at 197 hp (FWD and AWD) and two 3.3 AT gasolines at 270 hp (FWD and AWD). Same names must be split by drive, because power does not separate them.

Specs by version: what actually differs

Shared across all four: 71 L tank, 185 mm ground clearance, Euro 5, front Independent, spring suspension, Ventilated disc front brakes, Disc rear brakes, engine Front, transverse. Wheel sizes: not measured. Rear suspension: not measured. Gross weight: not measured on every version.

Engine: diesel torque vs gasoline horsepower

2.2 AT (both drives) uses a 2199 cc Diesel, 4 Inline cylinders, Turbo, compression 16, bore × stroke 96 × 84.5, peak 197 hp at 3800 rpm and 421 Nm from 1800–2500 rpm. Fuel: Diesel.

3.3 AT (both drives) uses a 3342 cc Gasoline, 6 V-shaped cylinders, 4 valves per cylinder, No boost, multi-point injection, bore × stroke 92 × 83.8, peak 270 hp at 6400 rpm and 319 Nm at 5300 rpm. Fuel: 95.

Arithmetic on those figures:

• +73 hp for 3.3 AT versus 2.2 AT (270 − 197), about 37% more peak power.
• +102 Nm for 2.2 AT versus 3.3 AT (421 − 319), about 32% more peak torque, and it arrives 3500 rpm earlier (1800 vs 5300).
• Displacement gap: 3342 − 2199 = 1143 cc.
• Specific output: 197 / 2.199 ≈ 89.6 hp/L on 2.2 AT; 270 / 3.342 ≈ 80.8 hp/L on 3.3 AT. The smaller turbo diesel makes more power per litre.
• The gasoline peaks 2600 rpm later (6400 vs 3800).

If the job is pulling mass at low rpm, the numbers point at 2.2 AT. If the job is peak horsepower, they point at 3.3 AT.

Performance: the 0–100 ranking that exists

Measured 0–100 km/h:

1. 3.3 AT AWD: 8.8 s 2. 2.2 AT FWD: 9.2 s (+0.4 s vs the gasoline AWD) 3. 2.2 AT AWD: 9.6 s (+0.8 s vs 3.3 AT AWD; +0.4 s vs 2.2 AT FWD)

3.3 AT FWD 0–100: not measured. Top speed: 200 on both 2.2 AT versions; not measured on both 3.3 AT versions.

AWD on the diesel costs 0.4 s to 100 versus FWD diesel. AWD gasoline is still 0.4 s quicker than FWD diesel despite the extra driven axle. You cannot rank FWD gasoline against the others: that sprint is not measured.

Weight-to-power is only computable on 2.2 AT AWD: 1905 / 197 ≈ 9.67 kg/hp. The other three kerb weights are not measured, so a kg/hp comparison across the range is not available.

mpg / fuel use: only the diesels are measured

2.2 AT FWD: city 14, highway 10.6, mixed 11.9 L/100 km. 2.2 AT AWD: city 13.3, highway 10.1, mixed 11.3 L/100 km.

AWD diesel uses 0.7 / 0.5 / 0.6 L/100 km less than FWD diesel (city / highway / mixed). That is the measured result; the dataset does not explain it. Tank is 71 L on all four.

Range from mixed figures (tank ÷ consumption × 100):

• 2.2 AT FWD: 71 / 11.9 × 100 ≈ 597 km
• 2.2 AT AWD: 71 / 11.3 × 100 ≈ 628 km (+31 km)

3.3 AT FWD and 3.3 AT AWD: city, highway, mixed — all not measured. Do not treat gasoline economy as “unknown in the market”; in this catalogue it is not measured.

Dimensions and weight: almost nothing to choose on

Ground clearance is 185 mm on every version. Tank is 71 L on every version. Wheels: not measured. Kerb weight: 1905 kg only on 2.2 AT AWD; not measured on 2.2 AT FWD, 3.3 AT FWD, and 3.3 AT AWD. Gross weight: not measured on all four. Chassis labels that exist do not change between versions. Buying a different engine or drive does not buy a different measured clearance or tank.

Which version to buy

Buy 2.2 AT FWD (197 hp) if you want the measured sprint of the diesel pair (9.2 s) and the 200 top speed, and you do not need AWD. You give up the AWD diesel’s lower measured consumption (11.9 mixed vs 11.3). Kerb weight for this version is not measured.

Buy 2.2 AT AWD (197 hp) if you want AWD plus the only kerb figure in the set (1905 kg) and the best measured economy (11.3 mixed, ≈628 km from 71 L). The cost versus FWD diesel is 0.4 s to 100 (9.6 vs 9.2). Same 197 hp, 421 Nm, 2199 cc, Turbo, Automatic 6.

Buy 3.3 AT AWD (270 hp) if peak power and the fastest measured 0–100 in the catalogue (8.8 s) matter more than torque and more than known fuel use. You get +73 hp versus either 2.2 AT, but −102 Nm and a 5300 rpm torque peak. Top speed not measured. Consumption not measured. Kerb not measured.

Buy 3.3 AT FWD (270 hp) only if you want the 270 hp Gasoline 6 V-shaped engine without AWD. 0–100, top speed, consumption, and kerb are all not measured on this version, so you cannot verify it against the other three on those axes. Same 319 Nm, 3342 cc, Automatic 6, 95 fuel as the AWD gasoline.

Do not wait for another generation. pokoleniy is 1; production of this generation ends 2018-05-31. Restyling is not listed as a separate generation.

Short rule from the numbers: torque and known L/100 km → 2.2 AT (AWD if you want 11.3 mixed and 1905 kg recorded; FWD if you want 9.2 s). Peak hp and the only sub-9 s sprint → 3.3 AT AWD. 3.3 AT FWD is the same engine with the most gaps in the sheet.
