Disadvantages of the Japanese with a German heart. Review Sang Ag Reston with mileage. SsangYong Motor Company introduced a new G4 Rexton Body and its electrical equipment
The car was debuted in 2001, accurately ten years after the conclusion by the companies "San Yong" and "Daimler-Benz" of the Treaty on Technical Cooperation. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Korean oscidence is impregnated with German technologies. Its engines and gearboxes are assembled under the license "Mercedes-Benz". With a more attentive study, it is found that wheelbase And the track is exactly coincided with the parameters of the first generation M-class. There is a noticeable external similarity. The studio "ITAL-DESIGN" of the "Reston" costume "Reston" is very reminded by the clothes "Mercedes", hardly yielding in solidity and elegance. And at all in German "San Yong" began to look after restyling 2007, having received new front lights, an elegant radiator grille and getting rid of the excessive chromium in the finish.
For the convenience of the salon, the quality of materials and the equipment "Rex" also does not lag behind the German ideological inspiration. Impressive and arsenal for off-road driving, which includes the version of not only the "parquet" AWD system without mechanical locks, but also more competent on heavy roads with all-wheel drives with rigidly connected front wheels and the TD transmission ("moment on demand") with a downgrade Transmission and blocking inter-axis differential. In general, from which side do not look, everywhere pluses. One thing is alarming - on secondary market "Restones" is cheaper than more compact "parcktails" of the same years of release. I wonder why.
Body and its electrical equipment
Many residences in Moscow "Restones" are very affected by the effects of anti-rolling salts and solutions. Rust's specks get out on the hood, lid of the trunk, the frame of the windshield and the internal cavities of the wings. Moreover, it is sinning not only cars, which, from the fall of 2006, for the full cycle, that is, with welding and painting parts, produced in Naberezhnye Chelny. Such ulcers are found in the soughs made in Korea. Most likely, the reason for the poor corrosion resistance of the body lies in low quality steel. Guarantee by paintwork Valid only for the first three years since the purchase.
Also, mechanics note the mediocre quality of wiring and electrical connections. Often moving pieces of sled driver's chair Patch the heating wires of the pillow, which is why it is necessary to change the entire heating element. From time to time, the immobilizer stops "to recognize" the ignition key. In this case, it will be possible to start the car only on the service with the help of a special program, reissueing the keys. But it does not always help, and then the immobilizer itself needs to change. Sometimes the outdoor temperature sensors are dying, providing correct operation of climate control. However, freon sealing rings in the connections of the air conditioner compounds can become often the cause of the problem. They change together with the tubes, and, of course, in this case the repairs costs non-sash.
Transmission
Of the three solid drive systems, the most reliable mechanics recognize the universal Tod with automatically connected front wheels, but only in combination with manual box Transmissions. From buying a machine with a "automatic" to refuse to refuse. At the 4-speed unit of the Australian company "BTR," by the "BTR" installed on the version with a gasoline 2,3-liter engine, as well as on the XDI modification until 2006, the friction clulations are often extended to 50-60 thousand. In the more freshly produced by Koreans under the license of the company ZF 5-speed box, combined with diesel and 3.2-liter gasoline engines, the electronic control unit dies. By the way, just because of the low reliability of this box, the only possible on "Rector" with constant fully driveWe would not advise you this option.
As for the easiest system "Part time" with a rigidly included bridge, then here is a weak place - the clutches of the front wheels. The so-called hubs may refuse and with very small runs (up to 10,000 km) and even on those "Restons", the owners of which are rarely leaving off-road.
Engines
Not all safely from "Reston" and with motors. Of all the power units, the most unpretentious and durable can be called a gasoline V-shaped "six" with a volume of 3.2 liters. When refueling with high-quality fuel, problems with it practically does not occur. What you can not say about her 2,3-liter sister. It happened that due to the defect laying the head of the block, namely the thin jumper, in the fourth cylinder hit the antifreeze, as a result of which problems arose with the start, and until the engine was warm up, it worked unstable.
Diesel HDI and his younger and powerful brother XVT troubles are essentially the same. Both lose the thrust due to poor electrical contacts on the nozzles, the valve failures of the exhaust gas recirculation system and the turbine control. But this, as they say, flower. Much large spending to the owners of "Reston" threatens the failure of the TNVD. Oddly enough, but the gear pumps "Dalfai" most often fly to a simpler and less powerful 165-strong XDI unit. And it would be okay by installing only one new fuel pump high pressure. Metal chips of its worn gear often scores all fuel systemtherefore it is also required to replace the nozzles, fuel tubes High pressure and washing the tank. But to prove that the failure of the pump is associated with the factory marriage, and not with a fuel of poor quality, you know, it is extremely difficult.
Chassis and steering
It would seem that the suspension of the real southest road should be distinguished by an enviable margin of strength, but in this matter "Rector" is far from excellent. Let's say, the lower ball bearings of the front levers are still rarely climbing more than 30,000 km. And there was a time when the dealers oblige owners to change the supports on each then (now only checking is required). And no accident, it happened that due to critical wear, the detail the wheel was glad, exactly as on "Zhiguli". To other frankly weak places You can attribute steering tips, stabilizer bushings, rear axle bearings. Let not often, but because of the collapsed gearbox mechanics changed the whole bridge.
Commendable long, up to 50 thousand, live front brake padsHowever, the ABS block may refuse much earlier. And often zakizying in a couple of years of operation of the carriage of the actuator of the parking brake, buffet tubes and a tank, the leaks of the hydraulic power steering itself - obvious evidence of the low culture of production. Frankly, with this kind of breakdowns foreign cars We have not met long time. Meanwhile, replace the same ball supports and semi-axes under warranty can be only within a year since the purchase. Owners of older agents, dealers, as a rule, refuse, referring to the wording from service book "On the details failed due to natural wear."
We buy?
Prices for used "Reston" are really very tempting. Compared with a new car, you can save up to half a million rubles. But is it worth it? As we found out, a big discount on age is quite a good justification. After all, from all possible modifications "Reston" there is not a single trouble-free. The versions with a manual box are often summarized and very expensive in repairing XDI diesel or weak couplings in the "Part-Time" transmission. Good 3.2 liter gasoline engine Not even lucky with automatic boxes. Of course, spare parts for San Yong on the side are much cheaper than the official, but it's not just money, but also in spent on repair of time and nerves. And on this, no matter how try, it will not be possible to save.
Note, so to speak, AB OVO (for the forgetting Latin - from the very beginning) ... In 1993, a brand C is a very intact for Russian ear name SsangYong escaped to the global market of SUVs with the MUSSO model. And since in those days, the young Korean dragon (or rather, in the whole two dragons, since it is so translated from Korean this name) There were no experience or relevant specialists, they instructed the design of the design of British Ken Greenley - Buntar, a stress and the big original . Here he is the pile of "rhino", that is, Musso.
Ssang Yong. Musso "1995-98 for the UK market
The car really got a very original, but very ambiguous appearance. It is enough to remember how much poison came out on the Musso design in the Top Gear program from the mouth of the Eidny Jeremy Clarkson! But high-quality assembly and technological partnership with Mercedes-Benz brand, which supplied the Korean company licenses to engines and the main units, allowed the models to hold out on the conveyor as well as 2005. And yet, when it came to the development of the successor (and it happened wherever earlier, no later than the 1997th), the SsangYong leadership decided not to risk and find a designer studio that would make the body in the framework of world trends.
So Atelier became Italdisign led by Maestro Fabrikio of Judjaro. So in 2001, Ssang Yong Rexton appeared on the light ("Royal Voice") with the factory code Y200, and in December 2005, OJSC Severstalavto began an assembly of these SUVs at the capacity of OJSC Plant Microllery in Naberezhnye Chelny.
SsangYong Rexton (Y200) "2001-2003
In 2006, the model has undergone restyling (factory code Y250), and in 2012 - another one (code Y290). For these versions, the names of Rexton i, Rexton II and Rexton III (or Rexton W) were entrenched. The most massive in Russia, naturally, became the version of Rexton II: Rexton W just did not have time to dispay quite widely.
With the beginning of the crisis in 2014, sales went down sharply, and in 2015, the SsangYong brand practically rolled out activities in our country. However, by russian roads Many of these cars running, originally developed the design of the first generation Mercedes. Ml.
1 / 2
2 / 2
Constructive Rexton is a classic frame SUV, equipped with one of two 2.7 liter turbo diesel engines (XDI, outstanding 165 hp and 340 nm of torque, or XVT - 186 hp, 402 nm), and gasoline 3 , 2-liter row "six" (220 hp, 312 nm). In 2012, the gamut engines replenished a two-liter diesel engine with a capacity of 149 hp (360 nm).
But in more curious the fact that for Rexton II has been provided with three, and for Rexton W - already four types of transmissions! The car could have either a classic part-time, i.e. connected front axle and disposal box BorgWarner with a downstream, or automatically plugged front axle (TOD, Torque-On-Demand system), or a permanent four-wheel drive without a "ply" (that is, actually such options were such a rare animal as a frame crossover). In addition, the version with two-liter engine Produced in the rear-wheel drive configuration. Accordingly, SUVs with D20DT and 2.7 XDI had a dependent rear suspension, and versions with 2.7 XVT and G32P - multi-dimensional independent.
Well, and what are the impressions of these SUVs from their owners?
Hate # 5: "By seas, on the waves ..."
Almost all reviews on the Internet are complaints about the fact that the Rexton suspension is too weak and roll. Such a setting likes to Americans, but among the Russians - not everyone, and on the forums you can find a couple of hundred recipes of how "bring it to mind" and turn rexton into something "uazo-like".
Particularly acute for this softness, those who moved to Rex from domestic SUVs are reacting: "If I drove on the" Patrick "on a seeking road, and the pits of him sang themselves, then it has to go slowly and carefully."
In the turns of Rexton implously carnating (but it is quite decently holding a trajectory on straight lines), but at the "lying police", as well as serious shoots and jamas, makes the speed of kilometers up to 20-30 per hour.
Plus everything chassis Not different and special endurance. Independent suspension Usually requires interference every 60-80 thousand kilometers. Most often, the replacement requires the rack of transverse stability stabilizers and silent blocks. The cars of the first years of release there was another unpleasant "childish disease": the ball supports of the lower levers kept the maximum of 30 thousand kilometers, and if at the progenitor Mercedes ML, the balls went in the catalog as a separate item, then for Rexton, they are supposed to replace them with the lever. As a result, the "collective folk intellect" found a way out of the situation: as it turned out, the supports can be replaced by VW Transporter, designed for practically "cargo" operation, and such an operation turns out to be almost 30 times cheaper than the official services offer.
Love # 5: "I gave spurs under the sides, the horse flew the arrow ..."
That's what's interesting: among the advantages of Ssang Yong Rexton, the overwhelming majority of the owners mention and manageability, although it would seem to be a big and heavy SUV with a very soft suspension would have to be perceived as a complete break, Saltay-chat and in general the taisa. And what may seem even more mysterious, the owners are invassed and picky car journalists!
The fact is that some kind of suspension is quite successfully fixed by successful steering settings. At low speeds, the steering wheel rotates very easily and provides a rather small radius of the turn, but when the speed set is poured with informative effort.
Add quite decent (for diesel cars) Dynamics. True, the car "wakes up", only by typing the speed of about 50 km / h. At the same time, as I said, Rexton is distinguished by excellent trajectory stability: a little worse - at versions with dependent, and a little better - options with independent rear suspension. "On the highway - often Voronezh went to Krasnodar (850 km from the house to the house), and in winter and summer. With 1-2 stops for 9-10 hours reached. According to M4, which all the time is repaired, consistently food is 130-150 km / h, and there is a "stock under a sneaker."
Rexton behaves very decently and in difficult winter conditions. So the handling and even the dynamics of this car go to the piggy bank of its unambiguous advantages.
Hate # 4: "Brightly sprockets shine, bright lights burn ..."
Everyone knows that brighter the light bulbs are glowing before turning back to the damn mother, the sim finished its baked lamp existence. So, almost all owners of Ssang Yong Rexton are complaining about the constantly muted lamps of the head light. At the same time, in the headlights of Rexton, there are the most ordinary "halogens", which for a solid car at a price of several tens of thousands of dollars produced in the 21st century, is already perceived as a certain anachronism. Many of the owners argue that the only way to cope with this will attack is to establish xenon light sources and the corresponding electronic blocks. By the way, this is not so expensive, and the replacement of the light bulbs on Rexton is a pretty vigorous activity, because it requires the removal of the headlight.
Love # 4: "And around silence, taken as the basis ..."
If you burn with a detrimental habit of rexton in any other lighting the owner gets acquainted only during operation, then it can appreciate the silence in the cabin immediately, by first taking the driver's place. Especially highly good "Shumkov" will appreciate the drivers who have fallen into the Korean SUV from the womb of our UAZ. However, they will appreciate the "Shumkov" in any car.
Hate # 3: "This is such an incomprehensible subject - here it is, but it is not ..."
Winnie the Pooh spoke about honey. As for the owners of Rexton, they often utter these words in relation to vacuum, or rather, to a vacuum drift of the free move of the front wheels, which were equipped with options with automatically or forcibly connected front axle. Indeed, in order for the clutch to stop closing, the slightest disorder of the system's tightness is sufficient, and everything happens without any preliminary signs and declaration of war. That's just yesterday everything was fine - and babes, "you turn on - not working!", As Zhvanetsky wrote.
I at my time and myself faced this problem, because for seven years I owned the Ssang Yong Musso Sports pickup, equipped with exactly the same couplings. It can be very offended - it seems you can go on a completely decent and solid frame SUV, and get stuck in the place that the driver of some Niva will not even notice.
It is possible to radically solve this issue only by installing the mechanical clutch of the free move - for example, the AVM brand. But this means the need to stop, leave the car, wear gloves and turn the flags on the couplings before each turning on or off the full drive.
However, the Pampility Rexton should be assessed as highly average: and ground clearance It has only 206 mm, and the sills are quite large, as well as the mass. As a result, there are almost unknown cases of transforming Rexton in a combat shell for the conquest of hlybays and trees. Probably, it is correct - for this there are completely different, where suitable cars. However, very many owners of Ssang Yong Rexton, especially those who have moved to him with passenger carsThese are subject to the number of advantages of this model. Those who have previously dealt with "professional passing", clearly seen the boundaries of the possible.
Love # 3: "Picture, basket, cardboard ..."
In any case, Rexton is not designed for extreme exploits, but for purely family use, and in this regard, it is really very good. First of all, the owner will delight the volume of the trunk, which is 935 liters via VDA. And that's with decomposed rear seats! By the way, during the 2012 restyling, the designers concluded that the trunk could be reduced to 678 liters, giving the space rear passengers.
The fifth door, of course, is rather heavy, but access to the luggage compartment can be obtained through the opening rear glass. So in addition to the "paintings, baskets, cards," here you can completely shove and a small dog. Or Senbernar - there would be a dog, and there is enough space.
Hate # 2: "Why not, there is no ..."
In the equipment of Rexton, there are no many positions, the presence of which seemed to be quite natural for the non-seated comfortable SUV of the first decade of the XXI century. For example, as a class is absent on-board computer, and in order to estimate fuel consumption, you need to measure the mileage on the full tank and produce calculations yourself. There are no tire pressure sensors ... There is no rear view camera, and the parking sensors appeared only after the second restyling.
Of all sorts of electronic assistants, there is only a system for descending from the slope, and then some owners believe that it works extremely incorrect.
Many versions S. automatic box Do not have cruise control.
Finally, the audio system ... its main advantage is an unusual design in the form of a CD spelled in half. At the same time, the system does not support MP3 format, does not understand RDS, deprived of the touch screen and, of course, does not have navigation functions.
Love # 2: "And instead of Chozza - Auzenbordotor, or Teutonic Song"
When I am asked: "You had Ssang Yong, well, and how?", I usually answer that, in general, it is not bad, but the best thing that was in this car is a 2.9-liter turbodiesel D29DT, in Mercedes OM602 . He was reliable, not too shumen, it turned out well in winter, was rather omnivorous, but most importantly - possessed an absolutely locomotive burden and allowed to go on the fifth gear, without switching, in the range from 40 to 140 km / h.
I am very pleased with the omnivo, the engine almost did not respond to the quality of fuel and absolutely calmly took the diesel fuel, merged with a bucket from the tank working in the combine field.
His successor, D27DT, which has become the main Rexton engine on russian market, there is also a German analogue - om612. However, this engine applies to a completely different generation of aggregates with compression flammings, and has an ordinary TNVD, but a fuel system of type cOMMON RAIL. from electronically control. As a result, it is more powerful, quieter, elastic, more economical, traction of the predecessor. It is thanks to the excellent characteristics of the engines (and the praise deserve not only diesel D27DT and D20DT, but also gasoline G32T) rexton earned all the advantages over dynamics and comfort. And all these engines - Teutonic roots and quite decent reliability, and economy does not cause special complaints.
Most of the authors of feedback on the Internet claims that in urban traffic jams, fuel consumption is about 12-13 liters of diesel fuel per 100 km, and on the track it drops to 8-9. In any case, a tank of 68 liters grabs 700-800 km. The hosts of diesel cars with mechanics testify: the traction on the nizakh well allows, without switching, use the fifth gear in the range from 50 to 150 km / h, and in the city in the second-fifth mode.
As for the G32T, he, as it believes the gasoline V6, is essentially voracious, but its appetite does not fall out of the framework acceptable and amounts to about 14-16 liters in the city and 10-12 on the highway. That's just about the former omnivities of diesel engines no longer have to say ...
Poor-quality diesel fuel is exactly the factor that can lead to the emergence of significant problems related primarily to the disorder of the injectors. In particularly severe cases, it is necessary to change the entire fuel system, including the fuel tank.
Hate # 1: "I was looking for you, I looked at all the stores ..."
Rexton owners do not accidentally pay great attention to finding a wide variety of counterparts for parts, knots and units of their cars, because in almost every review, the price complaint sounds, availability, delivery time and complexity of the originals. The case is still complicated by the inconsistency of the Russian and Korean catalogs, which is why even Vin does not always help to buy what I want, and nothing will happen.
Separate anger attacks in many rexton owners causes the work of dealerships. Most often, they are characterized by two words: expensive and bad.
Love # 1: "Pleasant in all respects"
Be that as it may, the fundamental advantage of Ssang Yong Rexton owners consider them comfortable comfort. And we are talking about the comfort of the cabin, and about the driving comfort.
Yes, Rexton is by no means a driver car, and it is precisely for the reason that he literally disrupts both the driver and passengers from road Conditions. But it is precisely this quality that many appreciate the premium SUVs, and here you get it to the fullest, and for very modest money ...
SsangYong Rexton is rather love or rather hatred?
Official premiere updated SUV Ssang Yong Rexton took place on March 30, 2017 in Seoul. The car, called the REXTON G4, is declared by the manufacturer as a revolutionary model.
