What to buy better Casca or Suzuki CX4. City's legends. Nissan Qashqai against Suzuki SX4 and Subaru XV. Service in numbers

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 in 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. - check it on strength to help us Mitsubishi ASX and SUZUKI SX4 with a full drive and motor comparable motor.

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 headlights with automatic switching with far Light In the near, system of controlling the blind zones and robes of movement, selfarchist, 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 wheel 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 the 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. And the Mitsubishi engine hangs on 6000 rpm, filling the salon. So 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 filling is still 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.

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 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. Next comes by 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.

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 "highways" conducted comparative Test 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 power plants On tested machines, 1,6-liter diesel engines were performed with 6-speed mechanical 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.

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

We compared four crossovers that are among the most affordable on the market. We have two newcomers in the quartet - it is Suzuki New. SX4 and Nissan Qashqai. Mitsubishi ASX is not a newcomer, but relatively recently underwent raster. Skoda Yeti, too, after a recent facelifting and confront Japanese Trinity. Yes, it turned out that the honor of European automakers will protect only one representative, and even knowingly the most expensive. Well, the more interesting to know if it makes sense to overpay.

So coincided that our editors decided not to miss a favorable situation in the car market and at the same time choose a car. True, we will negotiate that we had our criteria when choosing a car, namely: economical gas engine (preferably atmospheric), manual transmission, front-wheel drive, not the poorest equipment. A spacious trunk, as you always have anything.

We were looking for dealers the most accessible versions and it was almost possible. It was especially difficult to comply with equality in choosing motors. Stripping from our "stove" Suzuki New SX4, we started looking for cars with "mechanics" and gasoline engine 1.6 liters, because the Japanese crossover, alas, is not offered with other motors. Identical couple was able to make only Mitsubishi ASX. In the basic version, it is equipped with a 117-strong 1.6-liter gasoline engine and a five-speed manual transmission. For Nissan Qashqai Basic Motor is a new 1.2-liter turbated aggregate With a capacity of 115 hp, but such a car in the test park did not turn out. I had to be content with a two-liter machine with a variator. Skoda Yeti in the "base" - a 105-strong 1.2-liter turbo engine. But there is another 1.4TSI with a capacity of 123 hp With front-wheel drive and six-speed "mechanics". Here it is and we took the team. Full identity, unfortunately, failed to achieve, but as it is.

Suzuki New SX4 1.6 MT (2WD)
Dimensions (DHSHV) - 4300x1765x1590 mm. Clearance - 180 mm. Trunk - 430/1269 l. Dynamics (0-100 km / h) - 11.0 s. Fuel consumption (average) - 5.4 liters

Argued about appearance is an ungrateful matter. But still say a few words. Qashqai and SX4 are not twin, but there is something similar in their style. Look modern, but pressed. ASX is a fried and shot down, although there is no refinement in it. Rustic. And Yeti is still standing out by unusual proportions. It is a pity that during the restyling, the designers removed unusual round fog, integrated into the upper part of the bumper. However, in the current execution of Skoda looks good, becoming somewhat stricter and solid.

Nissan Qashqai 2.0 at (2WD)
Dimensions (DHSHV) - 4377x1837x1595 mm. Clearance - 200 mm. Trunk - 325/1585 l. Dynamics (0-100 km / h) - 10.1 s. Fuel consumption (average) - 6.9 liters

The biggest and looks, and in size - Nissan Qashqai - 4377 mm. But the most compact was Skoda Yeti - only 4223 mm in length. If you find fault, it could be sent to a battle with subcompact crossovers, such as Opel Mokka.. But in fact, everything was mixed not only in the house of the Blond, but also in the class of compact crossovers. Therefore, the same Yeti acts, in fact, immediately in two classes, however, as everyone else. ASX and SX4 are almost a bumper in the bumper - 4295 and 4300 mm, respectively. The size, of course, matters, but we will return to him a little later.

Mitsubishi ASX 1.6 MT (2WD)
Dimensions (DHSHV) - 4295x1770x1615 mm. Clearance - 195 mm. Trunk - 384/1188 l. Dynamics (0-100 km / h) - 11.4 s. Fuel consumption (average) - 6.1 liters

The highest quality interior is Skoda Yeti. Despite some scooter, he is felt as expensive and solid. And it all starts with heavy doors, which close with a deaf slap, as if suiteding to the impact. Immain them rubberized metal handles on the back of the door. Trifle, eloquently indicating attention to detail. Front chairs are the most convenient in the quartet. Rigid, dense, correct shape and with wide adjustment ranges.

Skoda Yeti 1.4 MT (2WD)
Dimensions (DHSHV) - 4223x1793x1691 mm. Clearance - 180 mm. Trunk - 322/1485 l. Dynamics (0-100 km / h) - 10.5 s. Fuel consumption (average) - 6.8 liters

Skoda Yeti steering column is adjusted by departure and angle of inclination. But, conveniently setting around the wheel, you realize that with an optimal landing, a plump bagel of the steering wheel overlaps the top of the instrument panel. And if you raise the steering wheel - you will spoil the landing geometry. As an option - you can lift the chair, adjacent vertically as in the bus. But this is the only ergonomic puncture in the Czech crossover. Otherwise, he does not give reasons to fall.

Despite the shortest wheelbase, Yeti's rear places are convenient. Purchase of foot managed to achieve a vertical boarding of passengers. Armchairs can move forward-back and change the angle of inclination of the back. But due to the high central tunnel, only two passengers will feel comfortable.

Yeti's instrument panel is laconic and informative, you only need to get used to the branded "Chish" of Czechs - Drawn Speedometer and Tachometer Drawn Speedometer. Yeti boasts a large number of seats for storing small things, including glove box on the front panel under the windshield A la Gazelle.

Qashqai pleased with full-fledged door handles, the presence of places for the smallest and peace-loving character of the interior. The instrument panel and looks great, and read at first sight. Especially good small color display on-board computer. And the graphics are beautiful, and the resolution is high. Despite the pretty low pillow of the rear sofa, it was convenient to sit there. There is enough space for legs, and for the head, and the low central tunnel allows you to get a threesome there.

Among Japanese fellow, the Nissan Qashqai looks most attractive inside. And although it does not have any bright accents, there is nothing embarrassing at the driver's seat, does not interfere. The profile of the chair is not so verified like Yeti, and the side support is missing. But the finish materials are pleasant and in appearance, and to the point. Although the abundance of glossy plastic is somewhat confused. It just attracts dust and fingerprints. Dactyloscope's dream. There were no special ergonomic miscalculations in the Qashqai interior, except for the front armrest not put forward. It is a pity that most of the interesting "lotions" like a 7-inch color screen or circular viewing system are available only in expensive equipment.

At first, the interior of Suzuki SX4 is not impressive - it hurts it. But everything is not so bad on the calibration. Minimum buttons and all of them at hand. Chairs, however, wearing a simple form and are not too tightly held in turns, but the back does not get tired in them. The instrument panel looks like Pistenrato, but it's an amateur. But the front armrest in contrast to Nissan Qashqai is advanced. Behind the spot is slightly less than in Qashqai, but the central tunnel is also low, so that the third passenger will not be superfluous.

The interior of Suzuki SX4 loses in the respectability of Qashqai. There are also good finishing materials here, but there is no glossy plastic, and in general the salon looks neatly, but without sizes. It is felt that when developing an interior at the head of the corner there was a desire to somehow combine pleasant with not very expensive, no complaints about the premium. So it turned out. However, it is worth noting a good driver landing geometry, wide range of steering wheel adjustments and armchairs. It is a pity, it was not forgotten to make full-fledged door handles instead of cheap "pockets". Places for trifles Standard - small glove box, pockets in the door, box armrest, niche on the central console.

In the basic configuration Mitsubishi ASX looks sadly. In expensive versions, the sermost interior accelerates a large color display of the multimedia system. However, there is no special claims to ergonomics, but where are they from being, if in ten buttons do not confuse with all the desire. ASX assumes a high landing of the driver, even with a completely lowered chair. Thanks to the largest wheelbase and highly installed front chairs, ASX offers rear passengers Maximum space for legs. But the attachment of the roof will put on the head of high passengers.

The interior of Mitsubishi ASX is perhaps the most robust. The essence of him is the same as Suzuki - the economy should be economical. But the gloomy colors and the milk plastic on the doorways spoil the impression. The only bright stain in this interior is the instrument panel. Speedometer and tachometer with bright red, almost sporting arrows, are stubborn in deep diagonal squabbles. On the central tunnel there are as many three cup holders and a roomy box armrest. The driver landing is not perfect, I wanted to be a little more pulling the steering wheel.

As for the trunk, in terms of the possibilities of the transformation, Skoda Yeti wins, although in absolute values \u200b\u200bit loses in terms of the volume of the cargo compartment to its competitors, providing only 322 liters in the usual state. All three armchairs of the rear row in Yeti are folded separately, forming a smooth freight area, and the volume of the trunk increases to 1485 liters, and this is the second result after Qashqai. In addition, in Yeti, you can add not only backs rear seatsBut also throw back their pillows or dismantle the armchairs at one out of the cabin, increasing the volume of the trunk. In the deep underground, a full-size "spare room" is stored, and on the side walls there are powerful guides with hooks, which are conveniently hanging bags from supermarkets.

Suzuki SX4 can boast the double floor of the trunk. Due to this, when folding the back of the rear seat, an almost smooth cargo site is formed. On this, all possibilities of transformation from SX4 end. IN by the usual version The trunk is the most roomy - 430 liters, but the increase in the folding back of the rear seat back is small. Useful volume after such a transformation will be only 1269 liters, and it is only a little more than the outsider - Mitsubishi ASX.

Show outstanding volume figures trunk Mitsubishi. ASX prevented the high floor under which the full-size reserve is stored. In the usual version, the volume of the trunk is 384 liters, and with the backs of the rear seats - only 1188 liters. Thank you at least for the fact that when transformation is formed a smooth cargo platform.

In Russian execution with a full-sized posterior under the floor, the volume of the Nissan Qashqai trunk is small - only 325 liters. But if you fold back rear seats, It will turn out a record volume - 1585 liters. More to the trunk of this crossover should not boast.

Since crossovers we have front-wheel drive, we deliberately did not conduct any off-road tests. The habitat of these cars is limited to urban streets and even highway. Although the geometric parameters of the patency, in particular, the high ground clearance, allow you to perform the congresses from the asphalt. But mainly high clearance helps in the city do not cling bumpers borders and steep ramps. The highest clearance contained by the manufacturer - Nissan Qashqai - 200 mm. However, in reality it is slightly smaller. In addition, pretty big front Ove does not add patency. ASX in terms of geometry looks most preferable, despite the smaller on 5 mm clearance. But SX4 and Yeti boast a 180-millimeter clearance, which in real life is also a little less than the manufacturer. The problem of the long front swallow did not bypass these crossovers, but this problem is most pronounced at SX4. However, for urban off-road and such modest possibilities are enough.

Soundproofing, like many cars from Japan, our heroes have problems. And they are especially brightly audible in the Mitsubishi ASX salon. Solo turns the engine that is silent only on idling. And it is necessary to nourish it, he is completely clogs all the other sounds. Suzuki SX4 is a little better with this, but it solorates the wheel arches. But the motor even in the limit modes is not so naked.

Due to the difference in the power units, direct comparisons of the dynamics would be incorrect. Although no, two crossover from four we managed to push the forehead. This is Suzuki SX4 and Mitsubishi ASX. Almost equal power, five-speed mechanical gearboxes and front-wheel drive. Technical data suggest that the difference in overclocking up to hundreds of cars is only 0.4 seconds in favor of SX4. In reality it is difficult to notice. But the nature of the motors and, accordingly, overclocking is different. MITSUBISHI engine Loves turns, although it is quite good on Nizakh. But after 3,000 revolutions issues a noticeable pickup. The Suzuki SX4 unit has a smoother character, spinning to maximum revolutions without a pronounced pickup. The work of the transmission more like SUZUKI. And the moves of the lever are small, and the inclusions are soft and clear. But the IPP lever in ASX is like some frame SUV. - High, with large moves and inadvertent fixations. We must get used to.

From the point of view of acoustic comfort, Skoda Yeti looks most preferably. The entire noise background in the car is balanced and does not cause discomfort. Nissan Qashqai is also not bad, but you can still work on sound insulation of wheeled arches.

Skoda Yeti gearbox - sample imitation. Short moves and directly the gun clarity of inclusions. Felt German roots. The dynamics is good without reservations. Yet 200 nm of torque, and revolutions developed in a wide range. The main thing is swelling the lever with a six-speed "mechanics".

The limit features of the 144-strong two-liter gasoline motor Nissan Qashqai are good, but they all dissolve somewhere between the variator pulleys. In the medium-calm rhythm of movement to the work of the variator, you will not have to do, but when I want to go quickly, you will shoot typical defects of this transmission. There is not enough linear communication between the press on the gas pedal and acceleration.

In terms of controllability, there are no equal Skoda Yeti. Dense and collected suspension, minimal rolls, juicy effort on the steering wheel. A gambling car, which is pleasant to draw a bunch of turns at the limit. It is a pity that I almost lack the suspension of energy intensity, and shock absorbers - the stroke to the back. When driving "Sleeping Police", the front suspension is unpleasant "thumps".

SX4 and Nissan Qashqai are similar. On the smooth asphalt are good, but small vibrations are transferred on the "comb" on the body. Yes, and in deep irregularities lack energy intensity. On the broken country, you will not go quickly. The steering control of both cars is not enough informative. No matter how cool, there is a sensation of a computer simulator. The steering wheel SX4 and as if they see in the okoloneal zone altogether, and with small deviations of the Baranki, it does not even want to come back on their own.

But Mitsubishi ASX has the most successful chassis from a cross-control point. Energy intensity is awesome. In the city you can even forget what it means to slow down in front of the pitches, hatches, tramways and "sleeping police". The suspension forgives everything. At low speed, there is a little lack of informativeness of the steering, but on the arc, the car already shows its rally genes. The only car on which you can go quickly and with pleasure in bad roads.

Price variation in our quartet is serious. Of course, first of all win those dealers who have the price to be tied to the Russian ruble. This is Nissan and Suzuki. Let's start with SX4. So, today the basic version of the crossover is ... Hold on ... 749,000 Russian rubles or 16,299 dollars! At the same time, the car has air conditioning, 7 airbags, system complex active security (ABS, EBD, ESP, BAS), cruise control, electric and heated mirrors, front and rear power windows, stereo system with steering wheel control, heated front seats, central locking with remote control. Checkmate. The car who took part in the test was in the GLX configuration, in which, in addition to the above, there are bi-xenon headlights, LED lights, fog lights, light and rain sensors, an intelligent access system in the cabin and engine launch with a button, two-zone climate control, front and rear parking sensors, touching a rowing system, R16 alloy wheels. Price - 849,000 rubles or $ 18,475.

Basic Nissan Qashqai with 1.2 liter motor costs 848,000 Russian rubles or $ 18,434. Basic equipment Also not bad. Full electropacle, air conditioning, cruise control, 6 airbags, ESP, central locking with d / y, start / stop system, stereo system. Having visited the car in the test of Le + packaged much better. Xenon and fog lights, climate control, leather interior, intelligent access system in the cabin and engine start button, circular viewing system, front and rear parking sensors, a navigation system with a 7-inch color display and much more. The cost of such a car with a two-liter gasoline engine, variator and front-wheel drive - 1,242,000 Russian rubles or $ 27,060. And this is also a very good offer.

The minimum price of Skoda Yeti in the framework of the promotion is 17,990 euros or $ 22,345. This is for a car with a gasoline turbo engine 1.2 TSI (105 hp), a manual transmission and front-wheel drive in the Outdoor Active configuration. The package includes two airbags, central locking with d / y, heated windshield, air conditioning. Not much. All other joy of driver's life - in the long list of options. Our car with a motor 1.4 TSI cost 22,500 euros or $ 27,946 and was additionally equipped with a signature multimedia system with navigation and a large color screen, start-stop system, ESP, side airbags and a couple more options.

Mitsubishi ASX in the basic version with a motor 1.6 and a manual transmission (just such a car and was on our test) is offered at a price of $ 23,500. For this money, nothing special buyer will receive: electric and heated mirrors, two airbags, air conditioning, stereo, electric windows in front and rear, heated front seats, leather steering wheel, central locking with d / y. Compared to Japanese fellow - expensive. This corresponds to the price of Basic Yeti, but ASX loses to European competitor in the comfort and transformation capabilities.

All models are good enough and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The choice of our edition is truly rational - discreet in design, balanced and correctly estimated by Suzuki New SX4.

But Nissan and Suzuki, "tied" to the Russian ruble, today look the most an attractive offer On the market. Skoda Yeti after restyling lost his charisma, but remained faithful to himself, but for it you have to pay and under this situation in the market the cost of surcharge comes to 8-10 thousand dollars. Undoubtedly withdraw to the Belarusian market of the Czech crossover russian assembly I could change the situation and it is possible the outcome of this test turned out to be different, but we will be repelled from the realities.

Mitsubishi ASX pleased with the good omnivorous suspension and excellent geometric data. But it is worth understanding that this is still not a car for off-road, and therefore the clearance of rivals is quite enough for the city. But the internal decoration and habits on the streets of the metropolis, the leaving from the country of the rising sun was unable to please. But a colleague in the Japanese workshop in the face of Nissan Qashqai was surprisingly an interesting novelty, if it were not for one thing. Despite the presence of a variator and the most powerful among the compared engine models, it is the version with a manual gearbox and a more economical 1.2-liter engine suggests a comparison. But we managed to test this version on the exit presentation of Nissan in the "Yakut Mountains", and this force aggregate caused dual impressions. Not the best impressions of the transmission alliance with a clutch pedal could not eclipse even the abundance of soft plastic in the cabin. And let's say right, we are not yet ready to go to turbocharged engines from Nissan.

Therefore, it turned out to be the most optimal and balanced version of the urban crossover from at least the legendary Japanese manufacturer of SUZUKI SUVs and crossovers. It is the lack of frankly weak moments with a fairly balanced chassis in combination with an economical and tested engine, was a key factor when choosing this model. Sophisticated gearbox work and well-tuned clutch are perfectly suitable for comfortable movement in the city stream. Ground clearance It is quite sufficient to conquer the urban landscape, and spacious trunk It is able to take on board the mass of the useful cargo - from photo equipment to a family scarbing for a cottage or country picnic. Interior in the absence of claims to premium pleased with its verified ergonomics and good quality materials. Yes, what to smoke - the crossover in almost the maximum possible configuration for $ 18,755 can convince any skeptic and a convinced adherent of German parquets!
