Nissan Qashqai against Suzuki Vitara. Culinary duel. Comparative test drive crossover SUZUKI NEW SX4, Nissan Qashqai, Mitsubishi Asx, Skoda Yeti, choose the best urban crossover adaptability to Russia

Impressions from aother acquaintance with the heroes of the test drive and the findings of experts "driving" read by.

Below - these manufacturers and other important technical information, as well as the results of the test of crossovers on roller platforms.

Running on the spot

To evaluate the work of a full drive, we not only leave for off-road, but also driving cars on.

The first task - crossovers should be removed from two platforms installed under the front wheels. The whole Trinity coped with this in the blink of an eye.

The second stage is "Diagonal". Put the platform for one front wheel And under the opposite rear. The first to "projectile" is suitable for Suzuki SX4 - and confidently performs an exercise. Following visits Nissan Qashqai.. Immediately cope with the task was not possible - only after the compulsory blocking of the coupling, he managed to move from the platforms. And Mitsubishi ASX - at least with blocking, at least without it - the real estate remains: the wheels standing on the asphalt were not transmitted at all. Moreover, after 10 seconds, the slip was lit a notification of transmissions overheating.

The final test - when the land concerns only one wheel - no crossover could not stand.

Outcome: Suzuki SX4 - First place, Nissan Qashqai - second place, Mitsubishi ASX - third place.

Diagonal hanging is not an insurmountable obstacle for the couch. It generally allows more than SX4: squeezing the move the suspension, clearance - 175 mm. He is still awesome front bumperAnd it would be quite good.

Here on ASX with an angle of entry of 21.5 °, you can boldly forcing a complex relief, although the clearance is the same 175 mm. But with good deposits "Mitz" not a fighter: the eclifronics does not imitate the blocking of differentials, with a diagonal hanging, the machine is helplessly freezing.

Expert assessment of cars

Points are affixed by a collegial, group of experts of SR. The assessment is not absolute, it shows the place of the car in this test with specific rivals. Maximum score - 10 points (ideal). 8 points - the norm for the machines of this class.

We usually collect a group test around a completely new model and framing it with several classmates. Extremely rarely instigated a restyled car - only if it is a star of sales.

Today, the role of stars - Nissan Qashqai, who last year went out in the amount of 23 192 copies, entered the top 25 russian market and took the leading position in its segment.

The design has changed slightly. - Mitsubishi ASX and SUZUKI SX4 with full-wheel drive and motor comparable power are helped to test it for strength.

Ahead camera!

When Nisanovans just started to put, we did not advise you to pay extra - the system was incompatible with the rear view camera. Last spring programmers took off this question, and there is no need to sacrifice the video inuphler. Victory? Well, how to say ... The camera is turned on with a five-second delay, and it can bring even a Buddhist monk to a white crown. Yes, and loading after starting the engine lasts unreasonably long - seven-eight seconds.

In the rest of Yandex. Navigator is good. Confidently leads on the route, taking into account traffic, shows a real speed and warns about the chambers. And there is also access to online stations and weather forecast. But the price is still biting - 54,000 rubles. I would spend this money for other utility.

Unlike opponents, Nissan can be equipped with LED headlamps with automatic switching from far light to the near, control system of blind zones and robes of motion, self-player, a circular review system. And you can refuse this "pampering" and choose (discussed all-wheel drive modification with a variator).

Interior Kashka produces a very pleasant impression. Surprisingly, musical tracks sound. The most comfortable front seats and chic (by the standards of the segment, of course) the rear row with two USB connectors to recharging gadgets and deflectors in the end of the central tunnel. Plus inaccessible for rivals of windshield heating, steering and rear seat. There is I. explicit shortcomings - Loganovsky ceiling and the lack of a playground for a smartphone.

SX4 meets very simple trim. Hardware window sills are not linked to the price of 1,709,000 rubles. Blinking rims around the tidy scales and a tiny monochrome display between them cause bewilderment. As well as bleeding with rear view camera.

You can still come true with this, but with the front seats - no. They have a back with an ejector profile, and the lumbar stop is not regulated.

There were no other questions to ergonomics. The relative position of the steering wheel, the pedals and the selector of the automaton is verified, liked the friendly and understandable interface of the multimediasystem.

The ASX Salon is trying to look like a boys, leaving the sparkling metal pedals and massive submissive petals - but these hits are unable to hide age. In ASX, a specific, high landing and unreasonably short variator selector (you have to stretch). The seats are covered with skin and are equipped with electrically regulatory, but it would be better to have due side support instead, and not hints on it. And many different polyfactory plastic - however, high quality.

Updated media center is deprived of a regular navigator, support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and not yet Russified. Inexplicable puncture.

ASX can not recoup and second nearby: the knees support the backs of the front seats, the ceiling is low. "I became part of the supporting structure!" - I joked at our 190-centimeter test. The situation aggravates an uncomfortable pillow profile. And there are no pockets in the door.

Judging by our measurements, the SX4 gallery should also be closely, but do not feel like compression. In addition, in Suzuki, the angle of inclination can be changed (though, only two positions are provided). The greatest scope for rear passengers - In Cashkaya.

Power is?

Studying the checa, you can write off Suzuki in advance: he has the most weak Engine - just 140 hp But SX4 leaves from rivals with mockery ease! Though from the place, even with the go, it breaks forward and disappears from the field of view.

There are two explanations of this acne. First, turbocharging. It provides a solid torque (220 Nm) on a very wide "shelf" of revolutions. Secondly, SX4 is easier rivals at least 170 kg.

SUZUKI box - 6-speed hydromechanics. The transfer it changes quickly and predictably.

Nissan and Mitsubishi - atmospheric motors in tandem with variastors. Power indicators are close (144 and 150 hp), as well as overclocking dynamics. But how different these cars are perceived!

Qashqai dials the course of elastically and is predicted, its variator implies the switching of quasi-1. Easy, unpretentious. BUT mITSUBISHI engine It hangs on 6000 rpm, filling the salon in such a matter that the right foot involuntarily releases the pedal. Yes, and without this, ASX is no more: the wind goes, goul goes from the road.

Before Restyling QASHQAI was also not quiet, but thanks to additional mats on the bottom and engine shield, as well as the noise windshield, the noise was less - at about the SX4 level.

And the Suzuki of all "rebuilt". The brake path of Nissan and Mitsubishi is slightly longer. Kashka perfectly configured pedal drive, allowing you to dosing a slowdown with an accuracy of a millimeter. ASX grab late, and this feature needs to be used to this feature. But why, laying out more than one and a half million, you need to escape to something?

Crunch bones

I always liked qashqai, but I would not buy myself - it categorically did not suit the smoothness of the stroke. Travel even on symbolic irregularities was accompanied by an unpleasant shaking. but with recalibrated springs and shock absorbers, riding comfort has become clearly higher. Even on the broken April asphalt - quiet and grace.

And because the handling did not have to sacrifice. Updated Qashqai is traveling confidently before - the increased diameter affects front stabilizer transverse stability, as well as a new electric powerful software, thanks to which the helm has a completely imputed feedback. A completely different car. And I like him!

But the ASX from the moment of our last meeting did not change the character: the suspension as she was shaking and remained. The car unpleasantly crushes on the ridge and leaves in front of the irregularities of a larger caliber. And loudly crumbs knuckles pendants. Finally, Mitz worse Nissan And Suzuki keeps directly and earlier squeaks from the trajectory, scaring in deep rolls.

By smoothness of the stroke SX4 - between ASX and Casca. If the brilliant suspension confidently mixes, then on the "large" then it is closed. But what kind of suzuki handling! As a dachshund on the hunt, SX4 with enthusiasm attacks turns, demonstrating a otnaya "Powered".

Where are these passenger reactions? And you look at the table again. Suzuki is the lowest body and the smallest clearance. The off-road 145 mm of the lumen requires extremely neat movement. Yes, and what a road off-road! A small rut - and under the bottom it is distributed. The suspension is short-speed, so the wheels are hung at times. On dry coating, this is not so scary, since competently configured electronics helps to get out of the diagonal "hanging".

• SX4.it is very cleverly controlled and confidently keeps straight. Acceleration dynamics is much better than competitors. This car is perceived by the driver as passenger, and not as a crossover.
• After modernization Qashqai. It was better to obey the steering wheel, added a stroke in smoothness. But the acceleration dynamics remained at the same, average level.
• For acceleration dynamics ASX. There are no complaints, but the soundtrack hanging on 6000 rpm engine is unpleasant.

To understand who lost this test, scores should be considered optional: lag ASX. Obviously. For problems with ergonomics, close rear row, poor equipment and modest riding comfort could be closed at a low price, but the test ASX is only 36,000 rubles cheaper than SX4, which took second place.

ASX long need to replace a new machine, but instead the Japanese prepared only a restyled version that went on sale closer to winter. The appearance in the Spirit of the Picap L200 and modern Multimedia are the main innovations. Technical stuff All the same.

Suzuki SX4. - Live car with pleasant handling, but with a clearance of 145 mm will not leave.

Qashqai. Today is the best. Spacious, comfortable, decently equipped and perfectly adapted to russian conditions. An excellent combination of price and quality determine its sales leadership.

Car-index It takes into account the operational costs on mileage of 70,000 km: fee for registration and inspection, transport tax, the costs of CTP, fuel and planned, as well as losses when resale cars.

Detailed technical information about the heroes of our test, as well as the results of the tests on the roller platform are available by software.

What is the meaning of buying a front-wheel drive crossover? The main advantages of such a parkerchief in comparison with the fellows with all the leading wheels are lower price and operational costs. Given the fact that the absolute majority of parquets rarely leave asphalt roads, the benefit from the choice of the mono-drive version is obvious. Another and much more complex question, who from numerous representatives of the subspecies of the front-wheel drive crossover to give preference? For example, experts "highway" conducted a comparative test of the bestseller of the Spanish market and the "dark horse" Suzuki SX4 S-Cross.

Interior and exterior

"Nissan" first hit, winning a visual dispute. Exterior "Kashka" leaves a more solid impression due to aggressive design and win overall dimensions. "Suzuki" muscles unlike the opponent does not play and is more like a raised hatchback than a classic crossover. Inside "Casca" is also more interesting. Its interior is more sophisticated in terms of design and selection of finishing materials. "Nissanovsky" Salon is spacious both in the first row and in the second. But the trunk was more voluminous in the "ES-Cross" - 470 liters against 455 liters. Also, Suzuki compartment has a lower edge, but the loading window is wider in "Nissan". In the field of ergonomics, the picture is ambiguous. With the visibility of the case, the "Kashka" is better, and His news has more comfortable seats. But the time to find the optimal landing behind the wheel "Suzuki", goes less.

EQUIPMENT

Here the advantage demonstrates "ES-Cross" due to a larger number of standard airbags - seven against six. Otherwise, the basic set of cars in the main positions is the same: ABS, EBD braking power distribution system, BA, Emergency braking amplifier, ESP Stability System, Starting system at the HSA rise, Cruise control with speed limiter.

Challenges and Comfort

Functions of power plants on test machines were performed by 1,6-liter diesel engines with 6-speed mechanical boxes Transmissions. Motor "Nissan" had an advantage in power (131 hp. Against 120 hp), although the peak torque engines developed the same - 320 nm. However, Suzuki had two important trumps - a smaller mass (by 200 kg) and shorter gear ratios. Therefore, the superiority of "ES-Cross" in acceleration dynamics did not become a surprise. Here, "Suzuki" won all the races despite the fact that according to the passport data, it is slower "Kashka". The measurements of the brake dynamics revealed the advantage of "Nissan", whose stopping path from the speed of 60/80/100/120/140 km / h amounted to 13/24/37/53/71 meters, while ES-Cross spent on slowdown 14 / 24/39 / 56/74 m.

Comparison in the field of economy won "Suzuki" due to lower fuel consumption on the highway: 4.4 l / 100 km versus 5.0 l. However, in the urban cycle, the consumption of crossovers was the same - 6.0 l / 100 km.

In terms of controllability, the test "Japanese" are similar: their steering No particular accuracy suffers from lack of informativeness. The system of dynamic stabilization in both cars is configured uncompromisingly and go into operation too early, although in terms of security it is rather plus. But there are still differences in the character of the subjects. "Suzuki" has more stringent suspension settings and more in short. "Nissan" somewhat wins in smoothness, although it also demonstrates a hard move, and more stable behaves on direct. Also, "Kashka" is better internal sound insulation.

What happens in a dry residue? If you drop such parameters like design and quality of the interior, then the difference between Nissan Qashqai and Suzuki SX4 S-Cross looks small. Cars have a close level of standard equipment and comparable to ride quality. So the price is the decisive argument in determining the winner, and it is lower, and significantly (more than 4.5 thousand euros *) at Suzuki.

In the underground niche like "Nissan" (photo 15) and the "Suzuki" there is a contrarocol kit

The front armchairs in both crossovers are harsh, at the same time Suzuki seats provide better support.

Suzuki Vitara.. Price: 1 459 000 r. On sale: since 2015

A couple of months ago we compared Suzuki Vitara with Renault Duster.And in this duel won the "Vitara", the cost of which was almost one and a half times higher than that of a competitor! Now conditions comparative test Even more intriguing. Unlike frankly budget "Duster", "Vitara" and "Kashkai" play in the same price league. Yes, and identical origin of both models makes such a comparison more correct in the eyes of potential buyers.

Although with the origin here is not so easy. So, crossover Nissan. is Japanese only in part - it is built on the same chassis as new models Renault., and collect it in Russia. With Suzuki, another story: if it is structurally a native "Japanese", then at the place of origin - "Hungarian". However, nor on the quality of assembly, nor on the running characteristics of these "national characteristics" do not affect. But at the price - more like! More precisely, not at the price, but on the fact that the buyer gets for the same money.

And in that and in another case, the car go "on full minced", but this is the filling of this "minced me" quite vary. Preparing his dish, "cookies" from Suzuki was clearly neglected with a serving, saving on the interior decoration. Against the background of excellent seats with a pleasant "suede" tab (doors are decorated with the same material), covered skin of the steering wheel and black glossy inserts "under the piano lacquer", the healing hard plastic front panel looks more than inappropriate. Such a feeling as if in an expensive restaurant you had a cheap garden table. Dashboard with monochrome display - from the same series. Reads well, but looks too "budget."

On this ascetic background, Nissan interiorners staged a real "luxury feast". Leather seats with perforation Here are really leather (at least in the part that is directly in contact with the saddle), and the relief plastic torpedo not only looks soft, but is actually so. After starting the motor on dashboard A bright digital ornament flashes, and the speedometer arrows and the tachometer make welcome silence - you will see more often in sports cars, and here is not the most expensive crossover. Pleasantly. It is also nice to see a color screen here. on-board computer And a separate climate control with air ducts for the rear sedes - there is no other.

The fact that "filling" Nissan and tastier, and richer than Suzuki, is already visible outside. The perimeter "Kushka" is literally ticked video cameras. They are not only here on rear door, but also under the mirrors, and even on the facing of the radiator! The "sense authorities" of the circular review system give the projection of the surrounding space during parking, and also allow you to see what is going on in front of the machine while moving at low speed, which can be useful, for example, on off-road. True, there is one "but": on the screen the picture looks "blurred" even with perfectly clean cameras ...

In general, the QASHQI Media Complex screen is a real pain. What is the sense that you can go to the "Facebook" from it (after connecting the smartphone with the Internet) if its resolution is below the plinth? And a cheap matrix is \u200b\u200bnot all sorrow. The longing brings and the menu of the system, to the development of which they forgot to attract the designer. Thank God that with the electronic part there is an order here - the system will work smartly and without hang. Vitara screen is much more pleasant for both the menu design and permission. Looking at a juicy picture, it is much more convenient to park on Suzuki, even though the camera is only one and marking of the parking area is not dynamic, like Nissan, but static.

However, for the SUZUKI crossover, this Pirrova Victory. After all, Nissan can still boast of unavailable buyers of "Vitara" by automatic parking systems, tracking on "blind" zones during rebuilding, departure from their strip and controlling the driver's fatigue. But if all of the above in everyday life is extremely rare or not used at all, then the presence of heating windshield In a country where 2/3 of the territory is an eternal Merzlot, give "Casca" a solid coherent before a competitor.

And what about the capacity? After all, the Kashka Wheel Base is 15 cm more than that of Vitara, and the superiority in length reaches 20 cm! Oddly enough, transplancing from one crossover to another, we practically do not feel this difference. It is rather noticeable that the Salon of Nissan is a little wider - additional centimeters (4 small) are felt in the shoulders, but there is no explicit superiority in the reserve of the rear seams. What is the matter? And the case is in the trunk: Nissan is 55 liters more, despite the way, a full-fledged spare wheel fit here. Suzuki in the "scene" of the dance, but the trunk itself with a double bottom is convenient for storing small things.

But if in statics about the advantages or minuses of both models, you can argue with hours, then there is no doubt on the road, which of them is better. No matter how old, no matter how to get the 1.6-liter SUZUKI engine, and to keep up with a 2.0-liter Nissan, it is not forces. And ok, the difference was only in dynamics: "Casca" is more comfortable on the suspension, and in terms of noise in the cabin. The only thing that "Vitara can" "take" a competitor is economy: due to less weight, it is about the liter below. And one more trump card belongs to the gearbox: in general, the 6-speed machine Suzuki. behaves nothing better variator Nissan, but for those buyers who do not feed the love of stepless boxes, its presence is a weighty argument.

Paters

In terms of passability design rear suspension "Kashka" is not the most successful: the attachments of the shock absorbers are too close to the ground, which increases the chances of clinging them for the soil, roots of trees or stones. With "Vitara" there are no such problems, but then another ambush - the ground clearance is only 18.5 cm.

The full drive system is the same as Renault Duster. In automatic mode, only a slight piece of torque is transferred to the rear axle (when slipping and dynamic acceleration). On severe off-road, the mid-scene coupling can be blocked forcibly

Our verdict

Considering the price and quality of the product, the new Qashqai will have to taste many Russian fans of crossovers. But Vitara sellers will have to spend a lot of strength to find those who wish to evaluate all the piquancy of this is not cheap, but in their interesting car.

Cars are provided by companies: Nissan Qashqai - Mark Autocentre, Suzuki Vitara - "Suzuki Motor Rus".

Nissan Qashqai. It was not the first Hatchback C-Class with a big clearance, but the number of cars sold in the world market for 10 years has reached a mark of 3 million for 10 years. The nearest competitor is Suzuki SX4, slightly less "raced", but because it is no less effective. Starting your way with Hatchback, Nissan has added in size over time and now is more suitable for the description of the crossover. After the start of production in St. Petersburg, Qashqai prevailed with characteristics adapted to the harsh Russian conditions: in the domestic market, he began to be produced with an updated and adapted by cold weather with suspension, new shock absorbers and an extended front and back slicer. In turn last generation Suzuki SX4. Acquired similar features with a nissan: the ability to switch the full drive mode, the variator and even a similar rear stand. But after 2014, there was a fall in the Russian market, the price of the car increased and sales SX4 "stood". Soon the Suzuki concern still resumed the supply of cars to Russia, though with small modifications of their model. So, a low-efficiency variator was removed, a turbo engine with a chromed grille was added, the headlights and others increased.

Pros and cons of both models
