Four-wheel drive Hyundai Cretage - four wheels better than two. All-wheel drive Hyundai Creta: Why pay more? Test Drive Hendai Greta 1.6 four-wheel drive

4.02.2018

All-wheel drive passengers vehicles Especially popular with motorists. Krossovers of the brand Hyundai due to their move and performance characteristics Proverted themselves solely on the good side, in view of which they are widespread in our country. The drive of Hyundai Cretage has a complex structure that provides uniform torque transmission from a power unit for each wheel, significantly increasing the permeability and controllability of the machine in difficult road conditions (off-road, ice, etc.). This is how the manufacturer claims, and the numerous test drives Krett are direct confirmation of this. Let's try to describe in detail its characteristics, operation modes, features maintenance and eliminate possible faults.

Krett Wheel Drive Systems

The technology of torque transmission to all wheel crossover is called AWD Dynamax, and has the following operating modes:

1. Automatic - when turning on which the four-wheel drive of the coach 1.6 4WD remains deactivated. Engine torque distribution is carried out on the front wheels. The car's computer constantly analyzes the load on the power unit, the distribution degree of the wheels, the behavior of the car in motion, and, if necessary, includes a second axis, making the crossover all-wheel drive. Using this regime is recommended on urban roads.
2. Lock mode (4WD Lock) - remains activated at a speed of motion not exceeding 30 km / h. After increasing the speed of the car, the car includes automatic mode. 4WD Lock is ideal for moving off road and local terrain, because during its work on the wheels the maximum amount of traction effort is transmitted.

Depending on the road Conditions And the control features of the car, the computer in the modes described automatically connects the four-wheel drive of Hyundai Cretage, if this requires the situation. For example, when driving in "Cruise control" mode, the torque transmission is carried out only by the front wheels, and when entering the rotation (depending on the speed and angle of the maneuver), the control system evenly distributes the force to all the wheels, connecting the four-wheel drive. As a result, the movement is fully stabilized when driving into a sharp turn at high speed. In the case of slipping one or both front wheels, the system instantly activates the rear axle. When moving in areas with bad roads, the LOCK mode is recommended, due to which the permeability, controllability and driving performance Crossover.

Features of using a full drive

For the correct functioning of the system and ensure the safety of movement, some recommendations on management must be followed. Often both axes The driver includes during the movement on garbaged highways. In this case, it is not necessary to sharply put pressure on the accelerator and dial the speed. It is better to move with constant, low speed. This will ensure maximum contact of the coating of the road. Naturally, while driving must constantly observe the distance. If you need to stop, do it better on the reduced transmission without pressing sharply on the brake pedal. The drive into two axes can not always provide perfect stability and handling on a slippery highway, so you must always adhere to the speed mode, avoid sharp accelerations and braking, before entering the rotation to switch to reduced gear and smoothly slow down.

All-wheel drive version Hyundai Creta.

In the case when dashboard The indicator of the operation of the full drive is constantly burning, while it is deactivated, it is necessary to turn to a hundred. It is possible that the cause of the fault lies in the incorrect operation of the ECU, and after it is flashing everything will work, as before.

It is worth emphasizing that when moving in the city, it is necessary to deactivate the Lock mode, since it is intended exclusively for localities with a difficult terrain. Its use in urban highways is unacceptable, since there is a risk of damage to the elements of the transmission, power unit and suspension.

Despite the fact that the coat 1.6 four-wheel drive is characterized by stability in operation, automatic switching of modes and high reliability, it is very susceptible to high loads. Naturally, the transmission system for all wheels will help to overcome the off-road, snow-covered plain, garbageing the highway, but still do not arrange permanent tests for strength, exploiting a car under conditions of close to extreme. It is necessary to understand that the coat is just a crossover, and not an SUV. To a greater extent, it is intended for operation in urban mode, localities with difficult terrain and bad roads.

Patency and running quality cars Handai Cret 4 WD and 2WD

If you consider a circuit that provides a car full-wheel drive, it can be noted that the design of its main nodes is almost identical to the older versions of the crossover. In addition, most technical solutions were borrowed from other models of the brand - Tucson and Santa Fe. In principle, the 4WD all-wheel drive version and the front-wheel drive 2WD are perfectly working out under any road conditions.

Numerous test drives crossover on localities with different terrains and lack of road surface revealed all the possibilities of this car. The coat is easily touched, even being all the wheels in water or on a slippery slant surface. Uniform allocation of effort from the engine to the wheels, wide tires, Proper separation of body weight provides a machine excellent permeability at rough terrain. But still Hyundai Cretage is not a full-fledged SUV with increased patency, in view of which it is not recommended to constantly exploit it with an increased load directly on the system of full wheel drive. The car on the tests with ease overcame the shallow streams, climbed into steep rise. Note that these indicators model showed both automatic and with mechanical boxes Transmissions.

The main feature of the complete drive of the Creta is the presence of a special controlled blocking electro-hydraulic coupling in its design, which simultaneously with other systems and mechanisms can significantly increase the challenges of the car in full-road conditions. But, in practice, things are somewhat different. For example, the blocking of the coupling does not always allow to overcome deep, loose snow, dirt, or an icing surface of the road. And if the car falls in a kola, the blocking of the coupling can only aggravate the situation.

As not strange, but perfectly rises to snow-covered or slippery protracted lifts. In addition, in addition to the intelligent management of the allocation of effort on all wheels, this contributes to the presence of other useful systems:

• mechanism of electronic blocking of differential;
• anti-slip system.

If necessary, all listed systems can be disabled if this action is really justified.

For a long time to tell about the appearance of the Krett, everything is already told and shown. I'll tell you better about changes. One full-wheel drive in new performances did not cost, add a new complete set of "Comfort Plus", compared with the well-known "Comfort", in new configuration Appeared: the headlights of the projection type with the illumination of turns when turning the steering wheel, front fog lights and LED daytime running lights.

Starting the test drive in the city, so immediately and you will not say that you are going on the new version, only the test provided automatic machines 1.6 4x4. With normal driving on a solid road in motion, the car only leads the front wheels, and in a dense stream, a difference with the front-wheel drive is very difficult. Having selected on the track, the changes to see it was much simpler; The first overtaking hints at the worsened dynamics, the loss in overclocking up to 100 km / h is 1 second, total 13.1 s., So be careful and calculate the maneuver in advance. Otherwise, there is no complaints on the track to the car.

But is it needed a four-wheel drive for traveling along the highway? The organizers laid a rather complicated route, taking into account the fact that we test the crossover, and not a full-fledged SUV. The off-road site, by the way, is located near Kolomna, which made it possible to keep the dirt in a liquid form, in Moscow on this day everything is licked, and in the north of the region, the snow fell at all. On Off-Round, the lack of capacity did not feel at all, with the ease of Cretage climbed into steep rise and with no less ease came down with them, here already thanks to the system of relief help from the mountain. On the puddles and rings, the coat is good "crawling", very sure, even if I forgot to turn on the locking of the coupling. Hanging one of the 4 wheels is also not able to stop the Korean crossover, it goes until there is a "hook" on the road tires.

Selling from a serious off-road, we managed to ride the primers, varying degrees of murdration, and the Cret again struck with his suspension: a breakdown to catch is very difficult and there are no stocks, engineers found a very successful compromise.

If you compare in absentia with french competitors Duster. or Ka Tur, then on the primer they are still leading, but on good roads Hyundai Creta is easily playing behind the lag and goes far ahead.

The main advantage of new versions, of course, the price, the version with the mechanics costs from 969,900 rubles for the Active set, others do not yet offer, so for heating the steering and rear seats It will be necessary to pay 25,000 r., For improved headlights and fog, 20,000 rubles. All-wheel drive CRETA with a 1.6 liter engine. (121 hp) and automatic in the complete set of Comfort Plus is available at a price of 1,139,900 rubles, and this is only 60 tr. cheaper than similar version with two-liter enginewhich on the track is noticeably more dynamic, and in the city with him, the coat can "Strangle". As for the surcharge compared to the front actuator and automatic, then the amount is already 80t.r. for a similar bundle.

Output. Than more versionsNevertheless, it is better, I personally see new Customers Henda: Motor 1.6, an automatic and four-wheel drive is a car for your beloved wife when you choose this car with your husband. In winter it will not be stuck, in the summer it will not be attended strong \u003d). But the mechanics and four-wheel drive must look like husbands, especially in small towns, traffic jams in which, not around the clock state.

The Hendevs themselves predict an increase in the share of all-wheel drive versions in the Krett sales structure from the current 30% to 50%, and I believe it. By the way, there are still a queue on Krett, 3 months of production of the St. Petersburg plant, maybe it's time to queue?

Together with a motor of 1.6 liters.

Scene: Kolomna, Russia.

Impression:for eight months from the beginning of the sale of its owners, more than 35,000 found hyundai crossovers Creta. This made a car with one of the leaders of the crossovers segment in Russia. Hyundai does not stop at what has been achieved and to even more interest customers, make an accessible four-wheel drive. From now on, all the drive wheels offer not only with a 2.0-liter engine (149.6 hp), but also with the engine of 1.6 liters (121 hp). The version can be chosen both with a 6-speed mechanic and with a 6-speed automaton.

Machine with mechanics in the configuration Active costs 969,900 rubles. The version with the machine is offered in the richest equipment of Comfort Plus, from 1,139,900 rubles.

Rose fuel consumption. According to the passport in the combined cycle, the machine "eats" by 0.4 / 0.5 liters is larger - 9.6 / 9.9 liters (data for mechanics and automaton). Acceleration until the first hundred is now expected worse, 0.6 / 1.0 C (12.9 / 13.1 s), and the maximum range fell two kilometers per hour. Now it is 167 km / h, however, where are you going to accelerate them? Wine everything - increased out of the drives. It grew by 66 kg from Krett with mechanics and 70 kg - with a gun.

On the test managed to drive by car with automatic box Transmissions.

There was no serious off-road on the route, but it is understandable. Creta, above all, is a city crossover, not a serious SUV. It is cheerfully closed in a steep rise, but in the forest it is better not to surpass. In a colleague primer, the suspension seemed unnecessarily rigid. But he did not feel on the steering wheel of strikes and he did not get out of the hands. The machine transferred to manual mode - it's still more pleasant to control the drive of the motor when overcoming steep slides.

But on the asphalt to the car there are no complaints. The smoothness of the car is excellent. Liked and noise insulation. Even if you turn the motor up to 4000 rpm, the sound of the engine and tire noise is almost not heard. The machine at the same time is slightly thoughtful, because when overtaking again I translate the selector into manual mode.

Perspectives: The car successfully started in the market received a more accessible all-wheel drive version - what else may have questions about the prospects? Buy a monolodrode when almost for the same money you can buy an option with all those leading, it is necessary to manage it! And in comparison with a 2.0-liter full-letter - 170 thousand forals. And this is in the affordable segment of the crossover market.

Evaluation: The company's goal is that every second buyer chose a fastener with a full drive. With the advent of Modification 1.6 AWD, I think it is quite achievable.

Details: SP, 2017, №5.

Conds a test drive new Hyundai. Creta 2.0 AWD on mountain roads Altai. Below, he tells about his impressions after the all-wheel drive crossover test.

I press the start button 2.0-liter engine - and in response silence. Only the tachometer arrow jumps to the mark idling, denoting an excellent level of vibration, the same as with a 1.6 engine. True, with a dynamic acceleration, the elder engine nicks the pogromic basic in high revs, despite the other, he does not like others.

The first reaction to the gas is alive, but then the stump is dried: Increase the supply of fuel when moving at speed, and the result is modest. Here exactly 150 forces? The six-speed "automatic" for the budget segment is good: in the modern spirit, the torque converter is actively blocking. Switching soft, and you can only find a second delay in transitions down, sometimes too active, two steps at times.

Isn't there any consumption of gasoline (thanks even that "the ninety-second") is quite large? For 350 "track" kilometers along the Chui path, the flightcomputeter counted 9.5 l / 100 km, because with each overtaking, the motor displacement provokes all juices out of the engine. And this is when the air conditioner is turned off (the weather in Altai allows) and especially energy-consuming heating of the seats, steering wheel, windshield ...

Hyundai Prita 2.0 on the test drive also pleases the lightweight wheel in the parking lot, as its low-pass sister, but at high speeds, the electric power supply provides greater transparency. Talking to souls with this chassis is only a little disjoint, but the absolute majority of buyers of the interlocutors will be satisfied.

One thing is confused: after returning to Moscow, it turned out that the test cars were shods in Hankook's abnormal tires instead of tires Nexen Chinese production. So, I will not hurry with the conclusion that the Greta's 17-inch tires hold better for asphalt and reacts slightly to the steering wheel.

But the smoothness of the stroke. Machine with a motor 1.6 (and once again convinced this in Altai) only a little severe, and in general it is very assembled and porn. The pendant of the two-liter version is clamped in the middle frequency zone, most likely, due to the fact that with all the options the machine is heavier than the centner on one and a half. It turns out that the victim, the "humpback" asphalt in a long road begins to tire.

Drop shock absorbers provoke not to drop on the capping, but the full AWD drive from the Tucson crossover, as we remember, is inclined to overheating the coupling of the rear wheels. Creta is 130 kg easier, and in any case, on the stony shores, Katun's coupling did not express discontent. Button it forced lock Fixed down position, LOCK light burns at any speed - just look into the instruction, and you feel deceived: in fact, frictions are compressed only to 30 km / h. Well, though blocking is generally there, as well as a descent system.

Vadim Gagarin from publication auto.mail.ru spent comparative Test Hyundai Greta and Renault Captures to find out which of these parkets is preferable. The main thoughts of the author test drive are given below.

A two-liter curb can be bought in front-wheel drive, saving on it 80 thousand rubles. Kaptur, on the contrary, with a top motor is offered only with four leading wheels. And therefore, the Frenchman slowly starts off the place (although the characteristics assure that until hundreds of it accelerates the faster Krett), and the box is sometimes twisted when switching.

In front of the overtakers, it is better to switch to a step down in manual mode, and on the highway such caps is upset by elevated crankshaft. What, however, does not affect acoustic comfort - a very quiet car! Strong side Greets are a six-speed automatic machine accessible to any of two motors (1.6 and 2.0). But not only therefore, he rushes forward like a died - typical of Hyundai, the first response to the gas pedal is unnecessarily cut.

And it interferes in traffic jams or when trying to fit into a close parking space - as if not to be in the bumper of a neighbor! Otherwise complaints power aggregate No, although the box is trying to stay at the highest steps with all the forces and during overtones or accelerations have to accompany the pedal to Kikdaun. The most amazing thing that fuel consumption in the urban conditions in crossovers was the same: 11.5-11.7 l / 100 km. But if Kaptur needs to pour the "95th" gasoline, then Creta is certified by the use of the 92nd.

In general, Hyundai Cretage is good on urban streets - he has much better visibility, especially ahead, a lightweight steering wheel, which will definitely enjoy women, and he is not afraid of turns. With Renault, the other way is on the "tight" steering wheel shocks from irregularities on the arc, and "KAMAZ" can hide behind thick front racks.

But, the harder the conditions, the better for the Capture! In the days of the dough, the road was frozen snow, but even on regular all-season tires pirelli Scorpion Verde The car is easily felt (thanks to the hydraulic driver!) And it is well cling to the coating. And a little - ESP will be delicately enter into business. Very transparent behavior! But the main thing is the fantastic smoothness of the stroke on bad roads. Pits, Colds, primer - everything is not necessary!

Hyundai is felt more shaking and fussy, and the one who thought to rebuild "Kretu" in the Sava Eskimo Ice washing, it is necessary to deprive the awards - and it's not just that spikes in it seems only for the decor, but they are also unpleasant that only emphasizes the poor noise insulation of the wheel arches.

Four-wheel drive Kret is a system that provides power transmission from the motor to each of the vehicles of the car in order to create maximum thrust and improving passability. The 4 × 4 drive is needed by a crossover to increase traction efforts in the process of overcoming unfavorable road sections - with ice, snow or mud. The inclusion of the full drive is made when driving under roads with a mandatory reduction of speed to the minimum level. This is how dry layouts of the instruction sound. But let's try to understand everything in more detail ... Moreover, conducted by both experts of automotive publications, as well as independent reviewers, have already made clarity to this question.

Modes of work

The four-wheel drive of Hyundai Krett, made using AWD Dynamax, works in 2 modes:

1. Automatic - 4WD AUTO (in this mode initially 4WD is inactive). When this mode is turned on, the behavior of the crossover with a scheme 4 × 4 is similar to that in front-wheel execution. However, if the situation occurs when the inclusion of a full drive is required, the ECU distributes the craving on both axis. Riding in 4WD AUTO is recommended when moving on public roads.
2. Lock - 4WD Lock. The operation of this mode is possible only at speeds of up to 30 km / h. If the speed exceeds such a mark, automatic 4WD auto mode is activated. And when reducing the speed below 30 km / h, the blocking turns on again. The lock mode is suitable for overcoming off-road, long lifts and descents. 4WD Lock guarantees MAX traction effort.

Principles of control

Features of full-wheel drive Hyundai Protein depend on the current mode:

• Cruise control (AUTO) - power transmission to the front axle is performed.
• Entry into rotation (AUTO) - the power is adjusted, which is transmitted to the rear axle, depending on the current speed and the "depth" of rotation.
• Slipping (AUTO). If at least one of the wheels loses normal contact with the road surface, the corresponding force is transmitted to the rear wheels. It all depends on the level of the wheel of the wheel in front.
• Locking mode (LOCK). Increases the level of resistance when driving bad road (activated at speeds of up to 40 km / h).

The work algorithm has the following form:

• ECU receives a command from CAN machine sensors.
• The control unit calculates the right moment and transmits a hydraulic pump signal or an electric motor.
• Created pressure moves the piston.
• A friction force appears that ensures the engagement of the coupling.
• Power is translated to the rear axle.

Rules for applying a full drive

To ensure the normal operation of a complete drive, Krett should adhere to important recommendations for each of the situations:

1. Before leaving the garage, all passengers should be fastened, and the driver's body should be a little closer to the steering wheel.
2. When driving on the roads covered with a layer of ice, it is necessary to move at low speed, without sharp presses on the gas pedal. It is important that special chains and winter tires are installed on the wheels. In the process of movement, it is necessary to observe a safe distance in relation to ahead of the riding car (taking into account the increase in the braking path). If you need to reduce the speed, you need to go to reduced gear. In order to avoid slipping and loss of controllability, it is recommended to competently select speed mode, not sharply accelerate and smoothly enter steep turns.
3. When moving on dirt and sand it is worth moving slowly, without sharp accelerations. In the presence of a complex area ahead, it is recommended to wear the chains of anti-skid. Distance from traveling ahead of the car should be sufficient for timely stop.
4. To overcome areas with a long lifting or descent, follow the following tips:

• Movement if possible should be straightforward.
• During the descent, do not switch the transmission (the speed should be selected in advance).
• Braking is better to carry out a motor.

1. For safe Movement According to the starting area, it is worth considering a number of moments:

• It is advisable to avoid moving on deep starting sites. Otherwise the risk of water in exhaust pipe And stop the car.
• Before passing a section of the road with a deep lugus, it is recommended to enable 4 × 4 lock mode (4WD Lock), after which it slowly overcoming the obstacle. The main rules are not to translate the gearbox in the process of movement and do not move faster than 8 km / h.

Additional instructions

During the operation of the All-wheel drive Hyundai Krett it is worth considering another series of nuances:

• If the test lamp signaling on the full drive is on, all the time is on, this indicates a possible breakdown of the device. In such a situation, it is important to contact Consultation in a short time.
• During the ride along the usual road, the "Lock" mode must be deactivated (by a special click on the button). If you do not disable the mode when suspicious noise or vibrations are possible when it is stopped (stopped after disconnecting the mentioned mode). If you have long to operate the car in such conditions, the risk of damage to a number of auto elements arises.
• When the "LOCK" mode is disconnected, the features of operation are changed due to the transition of the entire load on the front wheels.

The four-wheel drive of the Krett is distinguished by thoughtfulness, the possibility of automatic inclusion and clarity of work.

And this is already on the off-road.

Risk of overheating

It is worth remembering that the 4x4 scheme of this korean crossover Not designed for serious loads. Of course, she will help get out of snowy captivity, To drive along the risky primer, etc. However, it is not necessary to test it for strength, an assault road off-road and 60s clay with tobast wheels.

The system of full Drive drive is implemented through the use of a multid-wide clutch, which his elder brother shared with a new parkerchief - Hyundai Tucson. However, it was noted more than once that it quickly overheats. Of course, Hyundai Creta is noticeably easier than Tucson (about 130 kg), so the load on the coupling is less. Whatever it was, in complaints to frequent overheating is not marked.

And finally, the video, where the all-wheel drive Hyundai Creta demonstrates its capabilities on the off-road:
