Jili MK Cross: a successful experiment with "waste" material. Gili MK Cross briefly about the technical characteristics of the machine, review, as well as photos and Video Geely MK Cross: interior

Mk Cross is made by Toyota VIOS, Japanese Yaris version. Interior with the central location of the instruments and force aggregate Also copy Toyota.

One of the closest "ideological" competitors "Cross" - Sandero Stepway, the same butaforship body kit, rails, increased ground clearance, etc. True, if the stepway arches are closed with matte plastic, then there is a easily scratched chrome on the slop covers, the clearance of our car is 175 mm. Nevertheless, the exterior design of MK Cross is quite good, without controversial parts. What you can not say about the inner decoration. The price of the car is 389 thousand rubles, for surcharge of 30 thousand. Get a leather interior and an electrolyuk.

In our, the maximum version of MK Cross is equipped with a hatch and leather interior. The latter can be practical only if you transport small children or animals - to clean up the upholstery after them will be easier. Otherwise, it is rather minus. Rough finish Already in our run several thousand km began to bubble. The frosts did not come yet, but to sit on the ice seat very unpleasant, heating the seats here, unfortunately, no.

If the driver's door slams without difficulty, then the passenger has to apply from the soul - no one satellite could not close the door from the first time. Judging by the reviews on the Internet, many similar problems are found in many.

When opening the door, even on a muffled engine, Geely carefully includes an emergency room. The car wash for a long time could not be in a sense, why I turned it on in boxing. Another moment, which for the first time I was even frightened, - the triggering of the Klasson, if you start moving with an unlocked door. It seems to me that it would be more logical to make a bipper inside the car, not outside ... But inside the saddles, even the voicing of the turn signals relay, it seems to be. Another originality is the only nozzle of the coat of the coating center.

Earlier on MK, the arrow devices were put on MK, in our version they are completely digital, albeit with primitive graphics. Moreover, the panel itself is recessed deep in the subsole and its indicators are visible only to the driver. In principle, everything is displayed enough, but I am rather a supporter of the arrowheads, especially if we are talking about a tachometer or fuel index. Driving is close, especially if the passenger applies to the armrest on the right. In this case, when switching is constantly taking your elbow.

The visibility back is spraining wide racks. Narrow outer mirrors are forced to turn their head with each rebuilt. When parking would help the parking sensors, but the concern for its installation should go to the buyer.

In the rear places surprisingly spacious, but only for knees. The head supports the ceiling, even if you are a kind of good growth, and especially this is noticeable if there is a hatch. The trunk is not enough, the stroller does not put here, and it is possible to unlock it only outside the key, and a flipping handle for slamming on our car was broken by someone before us.

On the move Mk Cross showed itself well. The suspension successfully copes with the pit, but the work of the shock absorbers (especially on the back) leaves much to be desired - noisy and shake. The brakes did not impress, it is possible that the winter tires Dunlop Graspic. In the "zero" steering wheel returns not very willingly, in sharp turns you have to help.

Motor copes well with his duties, spinning cheerfully, but too nasitist. The gear shift clarity caused complaints, especially tight transmissions stick on an unbeatted machine, the rear sometimes was able to turn on only through double clutch disclosure. I also marked a strange glitch: at the time of switching the transfer, the clutch suddenly increased the revolutions ...

There were less than 10 thousand at the odometer in the test machine and at the same time rust was blocked from under the thresholds. Running on the forum, noted that other owners complain about weak corrosion resistance. More than GEELY MK Cross holders are compared on expensive spare parts and fragile, but expensive bumpers:

Six months after the purchase, I was rolled by VW B4 in the ass. He would at least be a little bumper deformed, and my Chinese full rear *****. In the service tried to pull out, the metal is simply rushing.

In general, despite an affordable initial price, the service goes to a penny, our colleague described in 2009, how much is the service car Geely. MK. Of course, there are non-original spare parts if such an expression applies to the Chinese manufacturer. Perhaps the new sedan from Geely - Emgrand will be more modern and technological.

The GEELY MK Cross car is the "High-Run" Hatchback version. Chinese creators stylized the car under the "crossover". Sporting appearance with elements of aggressiveness and filling of the car were developed on the basis geely cars MK-2. Company specialists call a car with an excellent option for trips to the noisy city and weekly travels to a calm nature.

And although the predecessor at Jil MK Cross a lot in common, after all the difference in the exterior of the car, and in the interior is visible to the naked eye. Main features that distinguish Gili MK Cross from the predecessor, the ground clearance, increased to 17.5 centimeters, a new bumper shape, stylish wheel disks Black (with their help, the creators show the "swiftness and power" of the machine), protective overlays of plastic, roof rails and additional moldings. These innovations give Hatchback Geely MK Cross Aggressive View.

Some changes have also occurred in the car. There are more than in appearance cars. His design emphasizes the sports style of the car to some extent. Multiple red inserts in the upholstery of the doors, steering wheel, seats, KP lever are striking immediately. Steel lining appeared on the pedals. This car has a completely different display. Now instead of ordinary arrowheads are a digital speedometer and a tachometer that is red. The devices in the center are tilted under the same angle to the driver as the model Mk-2. Jil Mk Cross bigger size Wheels than the predecessor. In principle, the rest remains from the proven and reliable MK-2.

Experts say that by car, thanks to the increased road clearance, it is quite comfortable to move around our imperfect urban roads.

To conversation about technical characteristics Geely. Mk Cross ... The length of the machine is 402 cm, the width is 169.2 cm and height - 144.5 cm.
Car front type drive. Under the hood, like the predecessor, Mk Cross is located gas engine, 4-cylinder, 1.5-liter. Its maximum power equals 94 liters. from. With 6 thousand revolutions per minute. The 5-speed KP (mechanical) in a pair with such a motor allows the driver to dial a speed equal to 165 km / h. The engine has 16 valves. Torque (maximum) - 128 nm at 3400 revolutions per minute. Distracy driver in 17 seconds can dispersed this hatchback up to 100 km / h.
Creators of the car say 5 liters good gasoline Enough to overcome a distance of 100 kilometers at a speed of about 60 km / h. At speed, which is located near the mark of 90 km / h, MK Cross consumes 6.5 liters. The volume of the tank (fuel) is 45 liters.

The cutting mass of the machine is approximately 1160 kilograms, the full mass is somewhere more than 300 kilograms. Steering The car has a rush with a hydraulic agent. You can stop the car using disk front brakes and drum rear.

In the domestic market, Jili MK Cross will be presented with such levels of equipment like Luxury and Comfort. More dear grade This car will be equipped with two airbags, air conditioning, aBS system, MP3 audio system, cute fogy Farams, extra. Electropacket. Luxury has a hatch with an electric drive and a leather interior - it gives the interior more serious view.

By the way, it appeared this hatchback in the city of Luciao, which is located near Shanghai. There is a Geely Corporation plant. Last machine in China since last year. In our country, the car has been collected from 2011 in Cherkessk.
The price of Geely MK Cross on the Russian market is about 350-370 thousand rubles - this is a complete set of Comfort. Jili MK Cross Luxury will be available at a price of 20 thousand rubles higher. By the way, in my homeland, this car costs about $ 8 thousand.

Experts note that this car is now a little competitors, the prices of which are not very different from the value of MK Cross. In this class, the remaining players are much more expensive. Russian buyers are now popular "pseudocrossovers" is now exception, experts suggest, and Jili Mk Cross, who has a bad combination of prices and consumer qualities.

Geely Mk Cross entered the Russian market in 2011. The assembly with welding and coloring body was organized in Cherkessk at the Derways factory. At the end of 2015, the model production was discontinued, and the remains were sold out in the spring of 2016.

MK Cross is a raised version of the geely μ2 hatchback. Both machines are built on a single platform with Sedan Gili MK, which is based on the Toyota Yaris / VIOS technology of the first generation (1999-2005). Pseudocrossover is highlighted by increased to 175 mm road clearance, Boutaoftware, moldings on the doors and roof railings.

MK Cross was proposed in two configurations. The basic version of Comfort had two airbags, air conditioning, GUR, 4 power windows, electric drive and heating Mirrors, ABS and EBD. A more advanced Luxury was supplemented with an electric hatch with an electric and leather interior. Heated seats, unfortunately, was not provided in any of the packages.

In the crash tests according to ANCAP (Australia and New Zealand), the Hatchback MK earned three stars, typing 8.4 points out of 16 possible.

Engines

Jili MK Cross was equipped with only one engine - a gasoline atmospheric volume of 1.5 liters and a capacity of 94 hp Engine - a licensed copy of the 5a-Fe development of Toyota.

The gas distribution mechanism is driven by a toothed belt, which is recommended to change every 60,000 km (1.5-2 thousand rubles with work).

The same interval should be observed between the adjustments of the valve clearance, otherwise the mark of valves is possible (intake presses more often). The gaps are adjusted using the pushers (cups). The cost of the procedure in the service is about 7,000 rubles.

In the machines collected until 2013 and running over 50-100 thousand km, there is an increase in oil consumption over 1 liter per 1,000 km. In some cases, it is possible to get rid of death after replacement masonry Caps (5000-8000 rubles). But sometimes it is revealed and wear mastery rings (15-20 thousand rubles with work). In the launched cases, even wear of the walls of the cylinders is possible. Under these circumstances, it is necessary to guilize or change the engine (30-60 thousand rubles). The problem of the massembly and wear of the rings less often affects the MK Cross 2013 issue and is not seen among younger cars of the 14th and 15th year.

On the first 100,000 kilometers, it is often necessary to replace the drowned radiator (2,000 rubles), which refused the gas station (1,000 rubles) and the rear engine support (from 400 rubles). POMP (1,500 rubles) and thermostat (1 000 rubles) can surrender after 100-150 thousand km.

Transmission

In conjunction with the engine, only a 5-speed mechanic worked. The clutch resource is over 60-100 thousand km. To replace it, the box has to be removed. The cost of the new clutch kit is 4-5 thousand rubles, and work - 3-6 thousand rubles.

Unfortunately, the MCPA may require repair after 50-100 thousand km. There is noise, hum of or badly turn on. As a rule, it is necessary to change only bearings (about 10,000 rubles). If the bearings break down, then the gears will be destroyed, and the case may be broken down. In this case, you will have to look for a used box (10-30 thousand rubles). New MCPP is more expensive than 40,000 rubles.

Sometimes it is possible to get rid of noise after tightening the bearing of the secondary shaft. It is done through a special hatch located on the body of the box from the side of the left wheel.

Chassis

On the front axis, McPherson racks are installed, and on the back - a twisted beam. Geely MK Cross suspension is almost completely identical to the MK sedan. Only the front springs and shock absorbers are distinguished (the area under the spring is located above).

Elements of chassis do not shine durability. Racks and bushing stabilizer are surreated faster. On the segment of 50-100 thousand km come into disrepair of the front levers (1,000 rubles) and the front hub bearings (from 500 rubles). In addition, the front shock absorbers and support bearings may be covered (3,000 rubles for high-quality analog), or the external shrines are started (from 1 000 rubles).

The front brake mechanisms require regular maintenance - the guide calipers are pretty quickly.

Other problems and malfunctions

Unfortunately, the body metal MK Cross has a weak corrosion resistance. The first rust begins to come from under plastic thresholds after 3-4 years. Soon rusty dots are found on the hood, doors, roof, rear wheel arches And under the headlights on the wings.

Of course, the electrically heated mirrors fails (200-500 rubles per mirror element). There are problems and with electronic panel Devices - Disappears. The tidy comes to life after the board proper.

It can also generator: Callows the voltage regulator, or wear brushes.

There are difficulties with a motor stove (3,000 rubles) or its rheostat (900 rubles).

The heater radiator can flow or clog the sludge after 50-100 thousand km. Toyotovsky analog is available for 2,000 rubles. The process of replacement is time consuming. To access the radiator, you must disassemble the front panel. For work in the service will ask about 5,000 rubles.

From time to time, the cables adjust the adjustment of air flow and the stove crane.

Conclusion

The quality of Jili MK Cross places slightly rocked. Fortunately, there are quite a lot of inexpensive substitutes for Chinese origin in the market. True, they have an even shorter resource, in comparison with the original installed at the factory. However, new original details Have a very democratic price tag. However, in order not to reaffirm soon again, it is better to use more quality analogs. Let them and more expensive, but will allow you to save time and nerves.

Chinese car manufacturer Jil has long been sufficiently sufficiently in its line unusual cars In the body of the hatchback with the habits of a small crossover.

We offer you full Overview Pluses and cons model MK Cross current generation. Unfortunately, among the crash tests available today, there is only Chinese China NCAP, which is very difficult to trust. But on the basis of this data, the machine may well save the life and health of the driver even in a serious accident.

Design and inner world of the little "Crossover"

Geely MK Cross is a real youth hatchback that provides all the functions of a modern car to your buyer. It must be said that Geely MK Cross 2012 was completely different as his current descendant. And if nothing has changed in the design, then the tests of crash tests and the reviews of owners have become much better.

If a small Jili Cross got a more modern appearance, a real hunt could begin at the car at its current price. Chinese brand He made a decision to drastize the cost increase as much as possible, because Jili MK Cross became a very profitable purchase. The features of his design are as follows:

• the appearance of Geely Mk 2 is quite modern, it inspires the confidence and perception of a high-quality car;

• high-quality photos and video with the participation of Jili Cross will also be proof of excellent design;

• even a superficial overview of the car proves the view that the quality of the car has improved greatly;

• the visual price of transport is quite high, the bodies of the body are worthy and quite modern;

• the interior design is quite relevant for this time, the salon is planned qualitatively.

Inside the car, the driver feels quite comfortable. Spaces in the Chinese hatchback grabs for a variety of tasks. Of course, in many photos, the interior looks poor. IN basic configuration It really is. But such poverty does not bordered by inconvenience - even in the budget version of Geely MK Cross everything is quite civilized.

On the test drive of this car it is worth paying special attention On the quality of the trip. In the cabin, everything is collected very well, Geely Mk Cross delivers only positive impressions. There is no script of plastics and other unpleasant sensations. There are only successful solutions of Chinese masters for an inexpensive car.

Specifications and features of the price of hatchback

If you evaluate Geely MK Cross 2013 model year Exceptionally according to technical data, you can also come to positive conclusions. All functions of the car work perfectly, nothing is doubtful in quality. Owners often talk about exploitation up to 500-600 thousand kilometers without major repairs and big investments.

Combination of low price, good design And the best technical characteristics makes Geely Mk Cross one of the most successful hatchbacks in this class. Of course, the car has not so expressive dynamics, but do not forget about the budget segment and the Chinese origin of the car. In the technique, the buyer will receive such features:

• the branded 1.5-liter power unit develops humble 94 horses, but this is enough for a trip;

• gearbox exclusively 5-speed mechanical;

• specifications The unit allows you to pour a cheaper 92th gasoline;

• hatchback shows himself perfectly on a test drive, demonstrates good habits;

• on the first acquaintance it is extremely difficult to determine the low price of the machine - everything inspires confidence;

• the maximum speed is limited to 160 kilometers per hour for safety reasons.

If MK Cross in its current equipment was accepted to incredible speeds and would have a more expressive dynamics, security would suffer. When Chinese manufacturers begin to think about the reliability of the machine and the safety of passenger lives, it really will inspire a certain confidence.

Geely MK Cross became beautiful car in model line Corporation. Until good feedback Owners only praise this car, and the model is no longer so young. Many reviews are made up by drivers with great driving experience. this car. Therefore, you can believe in these opinions and without fear to buy such a car.

Let's sum up

Successful the lineup Gili Corporations today are associated with huge investments in the company. Investments made the technical potential of the corporation the most powerful among all chinese companies. Therefore, Geely MK Cross deserves attention to the fact that it is held for a long time in the model sentence and is going to another update in the coming years.

The search for a successful hatchback with high clearance and a very convenient landing can often be completed by the purchase of Jil MK Cross. This car actually deserves the attention of potential buyers. It is universal, convenient and high quality, provides a comfortable and secure trip.

This modification was created on the basis of the "MK" sedan, which was serially produced since 2006. The "Cross" version was first presented in 2010. The car was produced for four years (by the way, this car was produced in the town of Luciao, which is not far from Shanghai). During this period, the car has gained great popularity in Russia. What are the features of the car "Jil MK Cross"? Owners reviews, review and more see below in our article.

Design

First of all, the car differs from a high planting sedan. The car has acquired a more off-road view. In fact, it is hatchback increased passibility. "Jil MK Cross" is also distinguished by a bright orange color. But there are versions and with other shades. As for the design in general, the car is not very different from the sedan. Here is the same grille of the radiator, bumper and headlights.

The latter, by the way, begin to curly in 50 thousand kilometers - celebrate the reviews of the owners. "Jil MK Cross" is completed exclusively by plastic headlights. Their quality is not from the best, so the output is only one - regular polishing of the surface. And here rear lights Do not mutte and do not sweat. Shoot well, but lacks LED strips. The paint on the body holds well, but in the case of an accident immediately begins to grow rust.

Sizes, clearance

How to celebrate the reviews of the owners, "Jil MK Cross" - the most compact car in its class, which would have so high clearance (17.5 centimeters). This is enough for movement on the primer and snow-covered Russian roads.

Overactions in front and rear are very compact and are located high - the car does not cling to the border and easily climbs the obstacles. If we talk about the size of the body, the length of the car is 4 meters, the width is 1.7, the height is 1.45 meters. With such dimensions it is easy to maneuver in narrow streets.

Salon

There are no additional handles in the front desk, and they are not needed here - the landing is quite comfortable. However, the first time on the "Chinese" doors opened tight - celebrate the reviews of the owners. With "Jili MK Cross" over time, this problem disappeared (equivalent as a caustic smell in the cabin). With these shortcomings, we had to put up to all owners of the car "Jil MK Cross". Noise insulation is surprisingly pleased. As noted by reviews, plastic in the cabin does not creak even after time.

As for the very interior design, it is rather strange. With the help of red inserts, the manufacturer decided to "apply" the car. But the architecture of the torpedoes and all other details remained the same. The instrument panel is located in the center. What is noteworthy, its screen is turned toward the driver. But, as the reviews of the owners, "Jili MK Cross" has not an informative flap of instruments. And he glances in a bright day.

Specifications

The car is completed with a single engine. This is a four-cylinder inline atmospheric volume of one and a half liters. The maximum capacity of the car is 94 hp Torque - 128 nm. Among the disadvantages, the owners are noted by weak engagement. In order to implement full power, you have to turn the motor up to six thousand revolutions.

This unit has alternative assemblies mechanical box Gear to five steps. According to car owners, the first and second gear may disappear over time. The reason for this is a lock washer that pops up with traction.

Dynamics, flow

About the dynamic ride on this car will have to forget - the owners say. Overclocking up to 100 takes about 15 seconds. The car is pretty heavy - with such dimensions, it weighs the whole 1160 kilograms. But fuel consumption pleases: only seven liters a hundred kilometers of the path in mixed mode. Peak speed is 165 kilometers per hour. But after a hundred cars behaves very sluggish.

Cost

The last copy came down from the conveyor in 2014. Therefore, finding a completely new "Jil MK Cross" will not work. These machines are available only on secondary market. Their cost is 200-300 thousand rubles.

If I strongly want a new "Jil MK Cross", you can take a "three-year period" with a mileage of less than thirty thousand for 350,000 rubles. What pleases is good level Equipment. In rich equipment (koi in the secondary market, a lot) are available:

• Two airbags.
• Air conditioning.
• Magnitol.
• Luke with electrical drive.
• Salon from leatherette.
• Electrical windows of all doors.

The manufacturer at the "Jil MK Cross" gave a guarantee for a period of three years. However, now all models have long succeeded with warranty. As noted by feedback, the dealer exhibited an incredible price tag to be. The cost of replacing the oil and filters is about eight thousand rubles. Many have refused warranty service even at the purchase stage. After all, it was provided only in the case of modern passage technical inspection at the dealer. As for spare parts, you can find them on any automotive market. Yes, with "Gili" will be a little more difficult than with a "sword prior" or another "ourselves". But the shortage of spare parts for MK Cross is not observed - they say the reviews.

Suspension

The chassis was completely copied at the sedan "Jil MK". So, in front independent suspension With A-shaped levers and millson racks. Rear is the beam on the screw springs and hydraulic shock absorbers. How long does the suspension hatch in our roads? This question is asked by many motorists. The reviews of the owners say that it does not cause any problems to run 80 thousand kilometers. Next, it may be necessary to replace shock absorbers, front silent blocks, ball supports and stabilizer racks. But there is a big plus from this crossover - high maintainability. Spare parts are at the level of Russian vases. And to replace anything on your own. The suspension is very simple. By the way, the rear beam assembly can be bought for three thousand rubles.

How does this car behave on the road? In turns of the hatchback goes normally. On the highway moves confidently. But after 130 kilometers per hour, the car begins to "catch a rut" - this is noted in the reviews of the owners. The most comfortable speed for it is 90 kilometers per hour. The suspension has a big move. But on the strengths of her pierces, and it is heard in the cabin. Although it is I. off-road version, on the bumps should be neat.

Conclusion

So, we found out what "Jil MK Cross" characteristics, design and reviews have. You should not expect something special from this car. This car was originally focused on the budget segment. Before inflation to the new "Jil MK Cross", the price was about 300 thousand rubles. It was the second available car after the "grants". Now the price has fallen a little on "Jil MK Cross". Many prefer to take this "Chinese" as an alternative to "Kalina" (which is also produced in the "Cross" version). As noted by feedback, in terms of reliability, these are two identical cars. Yes, and the cost of content is approximately one level.
