Where they collect Hyundai Protein in Russia. Where they collect Hyundai Creta for Russia and other countries Hyundai Prita characteristic official dealer who manufacturer
To the AK you could understand our past, we collect opinions about the car, we allocate the most characteristic and uniting on the principle of love / hatred. So, today we have Hyundai Creta, for the year as a launch and recently. But not everything is so rosy, and we will begin by tradition - with hatred.
Hate # 5: Bad Head Light
We begin with the foot of our small hit parade, that is, we tell about the "jamb". Let and meaningful, but definitely not the main one that has a significant value for all and / or relatively easily curable. It is from such - the headlight on the kret. Indeed, many believe that in the near light at night you are going "as on the dimensions", and the long-distance "no big difference with neighbors", and the lighting of the Obolin "From Hands Won is bad." It is corrected by installing abnormal lamps of greater power, and some of the owners do not consider the head light of the Krett to the problem. Much here depends on personal perception, as well as from what car you moved to this "Korean".
Love # 5: good equipment of top versions
Customers who have chosen versions close to the maximum are very satisfied with the complete set. They can be understood: in the TRAVEL configuration (both with a 1.6-liter engine and two-liter, both with front-wheel drive and full) you are heated steering and front seats (rear seats, windshield and washer nozzles - for extra charge), climate control, projection lights with turning lights, supervision instrument panel, rear parking sensors ... well, if you pay extra charges for packages, then there will be a light sensor, and tailless access, and cruise control, and audio system with a 5-inch sensory screen. In short, the price in the "million with a plus" is becoming a car, which is difficult to want more. At least in terms of configuration ...
Hate # 4: The "Check" and ESC light up
This is still reported by some owners of Hyundai Creta on the forums: in completely different situations - in traffic jam, on the rise, when moving along the horizontal straight line - lamps light on cars with automatic transactions: either one ESC, or it is, but in the collapse with the lamp "Check Engine". Before the errors are lit, the push is felt in the transmission, and then the D icon disappears in the display mode window display. The car becomes sluggish - turnover is reluctant, the processes of touch and acceleration become very slow.
Such a problem is diagnosed, because the defect is a wandering, is treated with a restart of the engine, and with a new repetition, it does not have time and the opportunity to immediately go to the nearest dealer with burning light bulbs. Nevertheless, the problem is recognized at the official level, and the dealers in some cases under warranty change the inhibitor, that is, the position sensors of the PPC selector. After their replacement, the problem no longer appears.
Love # 4: Design and Ergonomics of the instrument panel
But this is a clear plus of cars, and journalists pay on it (we celebrated it), and ordinary users. The front panel chip is that in a small (but not close) salon managed to make it very rational. It seems that she looks "usually", without design revelations, and it turns out that the buttons are minimum, and each of them is at hand, like other controls. You get used to the good quickly, but after all the front panel of the Kret is not a single (!) Explicit ergonomic miscalculation. Frequency at current times. And in general - rarity.
Hate # 3: Does not start the engine
The problem has not yet had time to grow in a clear illness or, God forbid, the epidemic, but appeared and continues to appear on cars with a 1.6 liter engine, especially September-December 2016. The problem manifests itself differently: some cars are consistent only from the second time - for the first time the starter twists, and there is no pickup. In more serious variations, the car will not start in the second, nor in the third, or for the fifth time - there are cases when the engine is able to start only after 15 minutes, and even then with "Trojiya" and twitching ... reasons? Most different are assumed: the temperature sensor on the inlet, the return valve of the fuel pump, the firmware of the controller, candles, throttle assembly, gasoline ... The latter is most often, but the owners respond that only on proven gas stations are refilled. In short, the unity of opinions among motorists is still not. There is no of the official dealers ...
Love # 3: Elastic suspension
In addition to these explicit minuses, the Krett, like almost any modern car, has a number of characteristics that like one and do not like others - that is, someone finds a certain aspect of the car perfectly, and someone clearly would like more. The Krett has a dynamics (as versions of 1.6 liters and double-liters), noise insulation and clearance. But the suspension is almost all referred to advantages: it is elastic, it makes its way extremely rare and keeps the car on turns. At the same time, the behavior of machines that have a semi-dependent beam (1,6-liter monopriferous versions) and a multi-dimensioner (monoprifer 2.0 and four-wheel drive in versions of 1.6 and 2.0) are almost no different on the line, but the lever suspension is almost no Of course, it looks preferable. There are also those who consider the Krett Suspension harsh, but there are quite a bit such - they are from those who are not ready to reckon with deliberately urban character of this car.
Hate # 2: corrosion on the fifth door
Here we have another disease with the note "Children's": on cars, as a rule, 2016 release, "Ryzhiki" and small, but increasing over time of the fifth door appear. "Flowers" the door on the bends of the metal and the welds, and swells - on the smooth surfaces. It is especially disappointing that problems with LCP begin in the first months after the purchase. Dealers recognize the factory defect, falling under the guarantee, and if the rust is on the door housing, it is repainted, and if it is corrosion on the seams, the door is changed. And they assure that the Hyundai plant in St. Petersburg, where they collect Kretu, sent an official document that in 2017 the reason that caused rust was eliminated by the cavity. Alas, the coat is not the only modern car, sinning like: enough to remember Togliatti Lada Granta, Opel Astra H of Polish assembly or a relative of Krett - Solaris.
Love # 2: Available all-wheel drive and "Automatic"
In the century of Zasiliy, the purely front-wheel drive crossovers in Hyundai went on a pleasant exception, immediately running on sale version 4x4. A four-wheel drive without fundamental change with Tucson and typical for a crossover: the coupling connects the rear wheels when the front is slipped, but there is also forced blocking. Yes, serious off-road on this will not encounter such, but Creta does not pretend to: but on competitors, as we noted in the test, beats noticeably: Renault Duster, Renault Kaptur, Nissan Terrano, Nissan Qashqai and Skoda Yeti offer a four-wheel drive in combination with " automatic "only in expensive versions with powerful motors.
Many potential buyers complain that the basic price of the curb (750,000 rubles at the beginning of sales, 800,000 to the present moment) is nothing more than an advertising trick. First, when you try to order a "basic" car, many of them received from the dealer the answer that such equipment does not even do such (well, it seems like). Secondly, in the basic configuration, Krett has no cast discs (instead of them - 16-inch "stamps"), rails on the roof and air conditioning in the cabin, and the audio system is generally offered only in the most expensive version (with the price of more than a million rubles), and then in the composition of the optional set pulling 50,000 rubles ... Thirdly, the unscrupulous dealer strives to "hang" on the buyer of "Dopor", as a result of which the price seems to be a budget car (how this term still blurred today!) Recompens to psychological Ceiling per million rubles.
Alas, and then the Cret is not alone, it is typical of many manufacturers - which only cost Renault Logan (here really, it cost), which even the delivery to the dealer at the same time "fastened" to the final price. Thank God, modern cars still have experienced pluses, for example, such as ...
Love # 1: Spacious Salon
... such as the salon Hyundai Creta. Having in the conditions of the problem, there are quite modest body dimensions, the interiorners were bothering over the curb to the glory. It logically complements the above-mentioned front panel, the space and ergonomics of the cabin as a whole. It was not complained about the grindiness, perhaps no one. On the contrary, the owners are happy to note that "the ceiling does not prescribe, as in the duster," the seats are convenient and the visibility is good - as an explanation, the front of the body's front racks, which cost much closer to the vertical position, as, for example, in Solaris and Rio are the latter. And this is not by chance, because the frame of the front of the Krett body is significantly unified with the "square" and also providing good Soul visibility ...
Well, this car is literally woven from the contradictions, but, apparently, the truth is born in them - the same Golden middle, the same balance sheet, which makes the best-selling curse. Yes, its popularity is partly due to the fact that it appeared in the right place at the right time, but without a good study of a whole number of key areas of such success would not be. Well, as for the minuses ... some of them, being the lowestime of the first months of release, will go to the past, and the part will become a given with which buyers will either put together, or go to the auto show of another manufacturer.

Here you and once! Not only, I will not be able to ride by car, so I will not even see the salon: the doors are locked, but all the glass, including the windshield, with a deaf tint! Acknowledge, I drove to the presentation of the Hyundai Creta crossover with other plans.
Alas, Koreans are adamant - no ride and "unnecessary" information before the launch of the Krett in a series scheduled on August 1. We will have to bow the knees to me: I look under the bottom of the preyerous crossover, which rolled out on the sunny light from the workshops of the Hyundai plant under St. Petersburg, - I hope to get at least some answers to the accumulated questions not only from the factory "suite." That, of course, is full of optimism: the monthly production volume is four to five thousand cars. This is the fifty thousand a year! If you realize the conceived and released on the current Russian market, not only the fall in the top ten most popular models is guaranteed, but also a place in the top five. And in it, by the way, only one crossover is Renault Duster, which Koreans call the main competitor and which last year has developed a 44-thousand edition. Others - Nissan Terrano, Ford EcoSport, Suzuki Vitara and the more Page Jeep Renegade - far behind.
What do you think about Capture?
In response - silence. Surprisingly, Renoshnikov say that Creta their worst opponent! Do Koreans believe that Kaptur is not a couple of their car? For me, this is the most that there is direct competitors. Creta is also attractive too damn, although it is drawn without excessive personnel and puffiness. DUSTER and KAPTUR are created on the upgraded platform B0, and Creta is based on a very successful and canceled proven "cart", which is divided by Hyundai i20 and Solaris, as well as Kia Rio and Soul.
The prototype of the compact crossover was presented in April 2014 in China and launched on the market market under the IX25 index. A year later, the car appeared in India called Creta. With the same name came to us. But the filling is different!
The interior is not in vain hiding from our eyes: there will be noticeable changes regarding the Chinese and Indian machines. Its Russian version and iron. Turbodiezelle will not reach us, but not only a 1.6-liter 123-strong gasoline motor will be proposed, but also a two-liter power 149 hp One - zero in favor of Duster: it can be bought with a diesel!
Creta is played with a modern six-speed automatic against the elderly four-stage box at Renault. Another plus of Krett is disc brakes in a circle, while the capture has a drum. In terms of transmissions, parity: Creta will also be sold both in front and all-wheel drive execution.
Almost immediately after the start of the production of the Chinese Creet, several cars were brought to Russia and were driven from our roads from the soul. These a year and a half gave a clear understanding of which changes should be made into the design. Refroapted McPherson racks and rear multi-dimensions, recalled the steering amplifier, increased from 183 to 190 mm Road clearance. Preparing for winter includes enhanced anti-corrosion protection and a refresh control system - it guarantees a launch at a 30-degree frost; The tank of the washer tank increased to 4.6 liters.
As for the equipment, then from Hyundai employees the details had to be almost shaking. It is known that the machines in the basic configuration will have stabilization and control systems in tires, LED daytime running lights, two airbags and a mandatory ERA-GLONASS system in Russia. In the list of options - electrical heating of windshield and nozzles of the glass wool, front and rear seats, as well as the steering wheel.
The intriguing atmosphere of secrecy is explained. The first Krett came from St. Petersburg conveyor Hyundai in March, but they had piece cars from the pilot-industrial batch. With the final settings, Koreans still work. And from August 1, it will begin to collect on the full cycle, including stamping, welding, body painting and finishing assembly on the same line where Hyundai Solaris and Kia Rio are born. Since the speed of the conveyor has not changed, and a crossover with a number of specific operations was added to the passenger cars, a pretty number of test runs took. But now almost everything is ready for mass production.
The longer I looked at the crawling, the more penetrated with optimism. Cute crossover with modern filling - what needs to buyers! Production is localized by about 46% (Solyaris level), and this is a serious application. Moreover, recently there has been a trend towards an increase in the share of Russian metal for the manufacture of bodyworks: now it reaches 24% and continues to grow. But a couple of years ago did not exceed 10%. Koreans make everything to Creta.
The new Compact Crossover Hyundai Protein was represented by the public in 2014. And from the moment the popularity of the model is gaining increasing revolutions. In addition to incredible demand in the Asian market, the novelty is very in demand in Europe, including Russia, where the crossover was represented only in 2016 on the metropolitan auto show.
The creators classify a new model as a segment of the J. Type of SUV body, which confirms the aggressive and sporty nature of the novelties.
It pleases a large selection of complete sets - whole 5. Therefore, each car enthusiast may choose your option.
As for security, Hyundai Greta is considered one of the best in its class and in the automotive world as a whole. Safety systems are available here as - VSM, ESC, HAC. In addition, 6 airbags are installed, including side.
"Stuffing" also impresses the breadth of its range - four different power units, two of which gasoline, and two diesel.
Production
Hyundai Creta produces, mainly for sales in the Asian market, in the Indian city of Chennai, at the local branch of the Korean firm. Representatives of the South Korean giant immediately noted that even before the release of the car, wishing to acquire a model, filed a record number of applications - more than 70,000.
In addition to Asia, the new Hyundai Cretage, also successfully sold in Africa and South America.
Interestingly, the plant in Chennai is not adapted for the rapid release of such a number of cars, because the conveyor power allows you to produce a maximum of 7,000 units per month. Therefore, those who wish to receive Hyundai Kret have to be in line and wait for several months on their car.
It is not surprising that representatives of the Korean Concern in India promised to solve this problem, by increasing the capacity of production to 10,000 units per month.
The production of Hyundai Cretage for Russia began on August 1 of this year, at the St. Petersburg Plant of Hyundai. From the first day, cars began to go for sale in dealerships.
It is worth noting that the developers had to reconfigure the equipment, because until recently, Hyundai Solaris released at this plant. New technology is very different from Solarys, but the experience of workers does not force to doubt the quality of products.
The production capacity of the St. Petersburg plant allows you to produce 4000-5000 units of cars per month. In general, the plant plans to release approximately 200,000 cars to satisfy the needs of everyone, as well as for exporting products to the CIS countries and the Middle East.
Russian version
It is impossible not to notice that the version of the Hyundai Protein model, which is produced for the domestic market, is slightly different from the original version. The novelty is fully adapted for Russian road conditions - the ground clearance and a more powerful suspension are increased. Only two gasoline engines are available - 1.6 and 2 liters. Each buyer will be able to choose between front-wheel drive and full drive.
According to the director of the domestic branch of Hendai Motors, the new model is completely under the power to withstand competition with Renault Duster and. What, in the future, will allow you to increase the share of the Hyundai crossover both on the domestic and in the global automotive market.
Output
Assembling a new Hyundai Protein model is carried out at two factories: in the Indian city of Chennai and Russian St. Petersburg. The owners of the concern carefully thought out the sales strategy for each branch, which helped to achieve a high level of sales.
According to statistics, crossovers are the most popular type of vehicles in Russia, and the budget crossover is the dream of almost every second driver. Therefore, the model Hyundai Creta, which first appeared on the Russian market in 2016, many were looking forward to.
Let's discuss whether the Korean crossover expects justified. What is good Hyundai Gretaas well as what limitations and weak spots has this model?
A list of explicit advantages
Price
Hyundai Creta confidently overtook its competitors at the price of a budget version of the model. This is perhaps the best price of a car of this quality in the market. You can purchase a crossover from 789,000 rubles, while the main competitor in the Renault Kaptur class offers customers from 879,000 rubles, KIA Sportage - from 1,179,000 rubles, and Nissan, Mitsubishi and Toyota require the basic versions of their models more. Prices are represented according to official dealers for 2017.
Equipment
Whatever paradoxically, but the equipment of the car is also a plus and a minus. The disadvantage is that most even standard, at first glance, options are present only in the latest version. But let's talk about it below. In the meantime, we will discuss the technical equipment of the top-end configuration.
In the maximum version of the car owner model, the following options are provided:
- Starting the engine from the button;
- Leather seats;
- Lock clutch full drive;
- Electric power steering;
- Desk help system;
- Hill Start Assist system.
Last technology allows you to easily climb the mountain with a bias of 50⁰. At the same time you can stay, stand up a few seconds and freely continue to move. This option, as well as the system "ERA GLONASS"allowing you to cause assistance in the event of an accident, goes to the basic configuration of the car. The clutch blocking function will fully reveal the possibilities of Greg as a crossover. With it, you will confidently overcome the blurred dirt road. Greast's permeability is very similar to Renault Captures, the main competitor in the classroom and the price range of Korean.
Salon
In comparison with Renault Captures and Duster Korean crossover wins, both in terms of aesthetics and in terms of the comfort of the cabin. Inside the Greta feel behind the wheel of the European car. Despite the fact that plastic is inexpensive, the finish is attractive, and the embossed surface of the dashboard even makes thinking that it is the skin.
The steering wheel is adjustable not only in height, but also by departure. Although such an option is represented only in the maximum version, the cavities even in the top configuration calibration is not provided Departure. Seats can also be adjusted in height, departure and angle of inclination. Such a versatile setting allows the driver to comfortably feel behind the wheel of the car, and the side support of the chairs reliably fixes the housing in the rotations. Separately, I would like to note and noise insulation, which is much better in Hyundai.
By the volume of the trunk "Korean" turns out to be ahead of the caps: 431 l against 378 liters. Moreover, the Greta under the trunk is placed a full-size wheel, and the caps of just a dance. But Hyundai loses in this indicator of the front-wheel drive version of the duster, where the volume of the trunk is 475 liters, and in the all-wheel drive - 408 liters. But the explicit leader in the capacity was Kia with a volume of 491 liters.
Feelings from driving
What is good Hyundai GretaSo it combine the dynamics and smoothness of the course. Here, a 6-step automatic box played its role, which goes on crossovers with a 2-liter engine. Thanks to the perfectly tuned gear ratio, the car accelerates faster and more confident.
It is impossible not to mark the calibration of the steering wheel. At low speeds, it is softer, and when pressed on the gas pedal, it becomes tougher. Such a distribution of effort allows you to better feel the way.
Although Greta is built on the basis of Solaris, it does not have the same problems with the suspension as the elder brother. The multi-type challenge of Hyundai Creta imperceptibly swallows all the irregularities of the road, allowing passengers to feel comfortable, as if they are in the salon of an expensive German car. Something similar happens at the wheel of Duster - this Frenchman also confidently absorbs irregularities and free on the ground roads. And Kaptur engineers can not boast. Their suspension is more sensitive. According to this indicator, it was unpleasantly surprised by a new Sportage, which overcomes the relief of even tougher his opponents, although the cost goes far ahead.
Disadvantages and weaknesses
The most striking minus of this model is the configuration. Marketers of the Korean company interested the market in an incredibly low price - 749 thousand rubles (according to the 2016 data). Such is the initial cost of the budget version of the Greta. But what can they offer for this price? In the basic configuration of the crossover, there is not even an air conditioner, not to mention the heating of the seats or the system of help when lifting. Even the original LED headlights, which give Hyundai of modernity and style, go only in higher grade. For this indicator, Renault wins confidently, where there is air conditioning, and heated rear window, and the engine start button.
By the way, the maximum configuration at the Greta is slightly higher. The All-wheel drive 2-liter crossover with the Comfort Plus package will cost 1,200 thousand rubles., And Renault with the same characteristics - 1 180 thousand
Unlike the Greta, manufacturers of caboats can offer four options for gearboxes - 5 and 6-speed mechanics, 4-hurvive automatic and variator. Hyundai business with a transmission is easier - 6-speed mechanics and a 6-step automatic. Due to the Reno variator, it turned out to be a little more economically saving his opponent. The difference in 1 liter is not high, but when calculating thousands of kilometers it becomes tangible. Many buyers in the Greta line lack configuration with a 2-liter engine and mechanical transmission. In this regard, Renault Duster and Kaptur has a huge advantage.
Other minus Greta Before the "French" is a clearance - 190 mm against 204 mm at capes and 210 mm from Duster. Considering the larger size of Renault wheels, Hyundai clearly loses on the off-road whenever possible to overcome steep irregularities and slopes. And when installing steel protection, the clearance decreases by another 10-12 mm, which is comparable to the clearance of some sedans.
An explicit disadvantage that has noted many Creta users is the absence of such a standard option as cruise control. Moreover, this function is not even in the last configuration of the crossover, which costs almost 1.2 million. This fact surprised many car owners.
Weak places of the car is immobilizer and automatic transmission. Many car owners encountered a problem when starting the engine. They started at once, and coming to the official dealer, everything began to work. The problem is that the immobilizer and the fuel pump must be given two or three seconds to check after inserting the key, and then turn it. Some car owners eliminated the problem by stripping contacts on immobilizer.
Another weak link model is a pick-up automaton, which seems to not tolerate slippages. With a late replacement of oil, the adhesion wear and friction bagel occurs significantly faster. Therefore, it is important to monitor the state of the fluid and to make it timely replacement. The discretion of automatic transmission is also hydroplates that quickly fail with overheating or low-quality oil. Moreover, for the boxes of type "L", "M" and "G", this item is not universal, and the driver will have to pick up the appropriate hydrophlitus for a specific transmission.
Summarize
Considering all of the above, it is safe to say that Hyundai Greta is a good crossover who was a worthy competitor to Renault Kaptur, and according to some indicators and overtaken it. It is perfectly prepared for Russian roads and is perfectly equipped with a technical side (except for the lack of cruise control). In comparison with DUSTER, it is a little less passable, but more comfortable and technically equipped. And small shortcomings in front of Sportage are blunting against the background of a giant difference in price.
Greta is a comfortable and modern car, which behaves perfectly both on the highway and off-road. There are no tastes, but one thing can be said for sure - the Korean newcomer has already taken a niche in this segment and will continue to amaze consumers.
