Overview of available crossovers

The popularity of small crossovers in Russia, as in Europe, is growing rapidly. And the variety of models is so great that they are no longer possible to embrace with one review. In this material we will tell about seven most affordable - from 700,000 to 900,000 rubles for basic performance.

Crossovers made a coup in the consciousness of motorists and created a powerful consumer incentive - this fact no longer will deny. Born in the 90s as an evolutionary branch of SUVs, they are often deprived of an all-time arsenal, but they have retained other advantages - a capacity, a comfortable move, high landing.

A particularly rapid increase in the popularity of crossovers began since automakers began to produce available compact versions. It is these cars most like the most significant part of motorists - citizens. "Lightweight" driver's ergonomics and a feeling of dimensions, dynamics and maneuverability, fuel efficiency ... and plus to that - a spacious salon, softened suspension under the unable roads and, which is important, the image of a significant car.

For the development of "IX35" KIA did not regret neither the forces, neither the funds nor the time - on the car, which came to the shift superpopular in the old world, and we have a special rate "Hyundai Tucson". And so that the crossover came out even more "European", work on the design and finishing was transferred to the German division "Hyundai" in Rüsselsheim.

In the car implemented a new stylist "flowing sculpture." Appearance and in fact turned out to be spectacular - on Frankfurt automotive exhibition 2009 Crossover collected around him crowds of visitors. The interior of "IX35" by German specialists managed to do as much expressive: the instrument panel, highlighted by a pleasant blue light and decorated with sickle metal inserts, looks spectacularly, but not even sickly.

Technical filling "IX35" at height. Traditional passenger chassis with McPherson front and multi-dimensional suspension racks - rear gives the desired compromise of comfort and manageability. New six-speed automatic transmission almost completely implements the potential of gasoline and diesel engines. Buyers can choose a more economical front-wheel drive modification "IX35" or a version with the drive to all wheels.

"If" Tucson "looked very pragmatic, I would even say promotion, then in the appearance" IX35 "is noticeable designer designers to the beautifulness, if not to say umployment."

Dmitry Gronsky, "Klakson" № 4 '2010

Crossovers "IX35" are equipped with a 2.0 MPI gasoline or diesel "2.0 CRDI", and the turbodiesel on the older modification, with the same volume, gives 184 hp. This, by the way, is one of the most dynamic modifications in the review.

Basic equipment does not look poor - from more high level "Comfort" is distinguished only by the fact that it has air conditioning instead of climate control, no roof religions are provided stabilization ESP., some driver's adjustments and electric drives for folding mirrors. Bluetooth, parking sensors, an access system without a key and 18-inch discs instead of 17-inch are added to the "Style" configuration. The most elegant version is "Prestige". Skin, Luke, Chrome, Deep Toning ...

Four-wheel drive "4WD ECU" automatically distributes the moment between the front and rear axle. The off-road vehicle quality is extended at the expense of a help system with a mountain and a start assistant on the rise.

Among the features, you can note the availability of air ionizer in the climate system, heated rear seats and built into the salon mirror screen rear view camera.

"IX35" is produced at the Kia Motors plant in Slovakia since the beginning of 2010. Models in the most popular equipment are available from dealers. The delivery time of the car in a special version can stretch to four months.

One of the most long-awaited innovations on russian market - "Kia Sportage" of the third generation. For the first time, the machine is presented for the first time in the Moscow Motor Show, and keep in mind: if you decide to make an order, then you should not postpone the visit to the dealer "KIA". After all, the former model used the glory of an unpretentious crossover with a very favorable price / quality ratio and therefore was deficient. The novelty turned out to be much brighter and interesting.

The technical base of the third "Sportage" is common with the above-described "Hyundai IX35". Therefore, both crossovers are very close through the chassis and dynamics, the level of comfort and capacity. But externally, nothing points to their relationship. The brainchild of the chief designer "Kia" Peter Schreira turned out to be slightly longer, wider and below the fellow. And against the background of the predecessor, the novelty generally looks like a certain trendy coupe-crossover. The new front panel, separated horizontally to the functional zones, is quite functional. Praise deserves dashboard with sports red illumination and large digitization. The steering wheel as if he was moving away from some sports car.

Such style differences will fall to taste to young buyers. Now "KIA Sportage" justifies its name in full.

"The temperament of the former generation machine was caught boredom almost more than her design. I will immediately say, the new "Sportage" has become perceptible more dynamic. "

Yuri Uryukov, "Claxon" № 10 '2010

In the future, "Sportage" with small volume motors - a 1.6-liter 140-strong gasoline and 1.7-liter turbodiesel with a capacity of 115 hp And the first to market will be modified with two-liter engines.

The debutant will be presented in five versions: "Classic", "Comfort", "Lux", "Prestige" and "Premium". All models relies the rear spoiler. Starting from the level "Comfort", each has heated front and rear (!) Seats, full set Pillows and security curtains, rear parking sensors and rain sensors. Top versions will receive 18-inch discs, xenon headlights, panoramic roof with hatch, combined or leather survivation of seats.

Lighting equipment is very "advanced": on all modifications put projection lights and fog with the function of illumination of turns. LED sections are provided.

Basic versions have only front drive. On machines with AWD, the rear axle connects automatically using an electronic controlled multi-handed clutch. It can be blocked - it will increase off-road potential.

From September 1, KIA dealers begin to accept orders for a new "Sportage", and some vendors can even be available. Assembling a model adapted for our climate is established in Kaliningrad.

For his small crossover, the "Mitsubishi" did not invent their own name, and simply took the Abbreviation "ASX" - "Active Sport X-Over". There is no revolutionary novelty and in appearance - the car has already become familiar to all the front part of the "Jet Fighter" and a longitudinal side edge, which is now found hardly on each new Machine. Nevertheless, this model has the chances of becoming a bestseller for the closest perspective. If there was such a criterion as the price / authority, then the "ASX" would have raised for all imaginable limits. After all, there was no more affordable crossover with three diamonds on the hood in nature.

Big plus " Mitsubishi ASX."You can consider its technical base: it is designed on a very successful Outlander XL platform and even retained its wheelbase and clearance. This, of course, left the imprint on the design - there are practically no sinks from the car. But this approach allowed Japanese engineers to preserve a very spacious salon at a smaller body height. In the suspension, only settings are revised - the novelty turned out to be significantly softer on the go than the donor model. Of the other advantages "ASX" it is worth highlighting a rich choice of complete sets, among which there are such that they will cause respect even among the owners of the premium class crossovers.

"There is no one from the competitors such a panoramic roof. At night, the edges are highlighted with orange LEDs - it looks amazing. "

Vyacheslav Kizis, "Claxon" № 9 '2010

Gamma Motors is not poor. Gasoline "1.6 MIVEC" goes in combination only with mechanical box Transmissions. Known according to the model "Lancer" 1,8 and two-liter "MIVEC" (only all-wheel drive version is equipped with this engine) work in a pair exclusively with the variator.

Already in basic configuration "Invite" The crossover is equipped with air conditioning, heated seats and mirrors, a full electric car. The "Intense" execution is added color information display, alloy wheels and a set of seven "Air Bag". In "Instyle Plus" - turn signals in mirrors, leather interior and electrical seats adjustments. But this is not the top. The most advanced versions are "Ultimate" and "Exclusive".

Especially for "ASX", an exclusive turquoise-blue color "Kawasemi" was developed.

Versions from 1.6 l are deprived of anti-slip systems and hold on the slope that are on more powerful front-wheel drive variator modifications. Four-wheel drive on two-liter models is implemented via an electronic-controlled coupling - the rear wheels are connected when the front slip is slipped.

The car is made in Japan and comes to Russia in adapted form - with a battery of an increased capacity and the engine start system with severe frosts.

"ASX" is sold in the salons of the Rolf network (and only there) for only a month, and orders for a novelty so much that they are temporarily stopped accepting. December everything is painted.

An example of the ideal hit to the target audience can serve as Nissan Qashqai. From the point of view of demanding connoisseurs of dynamics, comfort and manageability, it is possible not the best choice. But for the ordinary consumer "Qashqai" is optimal for all reasons. This car is inexpensive, very reliable, economical, practical and in addition ended with a very expressive appearance. And with the release of the elongated seven-known version "Qashqai + 2", the capacity was added to the number of advantages. True, places on the gallery in this modification on adults are not calculated.

Engineers "Nissan" managed to eliminate everything weak spots Crossover in the restyled version. Equipment expanded. Significantly improved noise insulation. The suspension settings have changed - the car can no longer call shake. Smooth and smooth move brought compact crossover In terms of comfort to a much more expensive "Murano". Brought to perfection and interaction of the variator with a motor. And although such a version does not have a gambling ride with sharp accelerations and aggressive turning of turns, but a lot of fuel is saved. On the highway at a speed of 120 km / h, the car actually stacked in the cost standards of eight liters on the "hundred", and in the city - at ten liters.

"I squeeze the steering wheel, subconsciously getting ready to take strikes and ... nothing like this happens. "Qashqai" is calmly crawling forward, smoothly swaying on irregularities. "

Alexey Barashkov, "Claxon" № 3 '2010

Combinations "Motor-box" a bit. 114-Strong gasoline engine with a volume of 1.6 liters is offered only with a mechanical transmission, and a two-liter power 141 hp - exclusively with the variator.

Although all configurations are fixed and do not suggest factory retrofitting, the choice is still very wide: the five-seater "Qashqai" is offered in 24 versions, and the seven-seater "Qashqai + 2" - in 19. The simplest version of Xe is not available for all-wheel drive double-liter models with a variator, and the highest Equipment LE + is excluded for 1.6-liter crossovers.

The "4WD" system with electronic torque control control on the requirement of "Torque On Demand" allows you to go to the 2WD monolrifer or on the drive with a blocked differential. The latter will not be superfluous on light off-road.

The seven-west model provides adjustments for the second and third rows of seats.

The "Nissan Connect" system, which combines the function of the audio system, hands-free and navigation, is favorably different from competitors affordable price.

In Russia, cars come from the UK. Adaptation under our conditions affects the suspension and power supply system. These parts of the car are strengthened.

"Qashqai" is no longer a scarce model, although the dealers have far from all modifications, but mostly expensive, in the highest performance. However, the order of other versions is performed quickly - from a month to three.

In Europe, this model appeared in 2009, but he was late to Russia and was represented just the other day - at the Moscow Motor Show. The first small crossover "peugeot" is the original development, and not a clone of another model, such as a larger "peugeot 4007". The basis of "3008" is a compact hatchback platform "308". Thanks to this, as well as the system dynamic control Roll B. rear suspension The model received very good handling.

"3008" looks like a single unifier - the design is made in a passenger style, the fashionable slant headlights reach hardly windshield. In addition, such huge wheels are put on the car, like competitors. Nevertheless, outside roads it will not be helpless. Clearance of "3008" reaches 19 cm, and customizable under various roads eSP system It is pretty increases the permeability of even the mono-drive model "1.6 THP" with "mechanics".

As for the interior, the "3008" has a high quality finish and comfortable seating. The console, envelope driver's seat, flows into a high and beautifully decorated central tunnel (optional), like a rocket sports car. And for passengers, there are even adjustable air ducts. However, there are not much spaces on the second row as classmates - these places are designed rather for adolescents than adults.

"Here everything really, like in an airplane: consoles with buttons, display, sinks ... The one who invented the interior" Peugeot 3008 "is clearly not indifferent to aviation."

Vadim Ovsyankin, "Claxon" № 18 '2009

120-strong "1.6 VTI" is offered only with mechanical gearbox, And the selection of transmissions for 156-strong turbocharged modifications "1.6 THP" is expanded by a new six-speed "automatic".

The basic model performed by the "Comfort Pack" is endowed with air conditioning, ESP, all pillows and security curtains, steering column with two adjustments and an electric parking brake. In the package "Premium" will be heated seats, fog lights, High, leather console, alloy wheels and climate control. Hasive a roof with a panoramic view And the leather interior of two types - for surcharge.

In the class of small crossovers "3008" while the only one for which such an option is proposed as a projection on the windshield.

In this model, the luggage space is well organized. The rigid additional shelf, installed in different positions, divides the already rather large volume in height at different parts. The folding side of the luggage door forms an absolutely smooth and convenient loading platform. And the left lighting lighting is made removable and turns into an autonomous flashlight.

In dealer car dealerships, only the front-wheel drive "3008" will be presented. However, these cars are prepared for Russian winters - have a reinforced suspension with increased clearance, more powerful heating of the cabin and ventilation are designed to start in frost to -37 degrees.

The first in the history of "Skoda" the crossover received a very extravagant appearance, but it was not built from scratch. The machine is based on the Passow Platform "VW A5". To the official release of "Yeti", many wondered if the novelty would inherit the stiffness for cars "Volkswagen" or receive compromise controllability? Czech engineers managed to get around all the problems - "Yeti" comfortable and clearly managed. This result is close to the standard for a small crossover - achieved at the expense of a low center of gravity and an extended rut. And, by the way, it is "Yeti" - the fastest all-wheel drive car in the class. The version "1.8t 4x4" is able to accelerate to "hundreds" less than nine seconds and reach the maximum 200 km / h!

The second weighty advantage of the model is salon. It is impossible to complain about the quality of finishing materials. Noise insulation did not save. The interior design is made in the traditional "Skoda" style - rationally, simply, but not poorly. Separately, it is worth noting the possibility of transformation of the cabin. The system "VARIOFLEX" allows you to slightly moving rear armchairs horizontally, change the angle of inclination of the back, and if you remove the average seat and slightly move two side drives - it turns out a spacious interior on four saddles. The second row can not only be folded, but also to remove from the car - then the passenger wagon will turn into a cargo van with a very decent capacity.

The car enthusiasts initially reacted with 105-strong modifications, in which the volume of the motor seemed shockingly small - 1.197 "cubes". But it is precisely such versions that are now in the highest demand.

"If you additionally use the" OFF-ROAD "mode, the descent control system from the mountain is activated, the ESP begins to mimic the blocking of inter-track differentials."

Yuri Uryukov, "Claxon" № 10 '2009

The choice of options "Motor-box" is still limited. The turbochargen gasoline "1.2 TSI" is offered only for monolarium machines with "mechanics" or "robot", and a powerful "1.8T" - only with manual transmission and drive "4x4". The delivery of the turbo diesel model "2.0 TDI DSG" is planned.

For the initial modification, the top execution of the "Experience" is not available, but this does not change anything - "Yeti" and on average "AMBITION" can be ordered with any options, including leather lounge or Alcantara. Restrictions on equipment are only for the budget "Active".

Especially for Russia, 200 cars performed by "Limited Edition" were issued - with robotic box DSG, excellent equipment and decoration in the sports style.

In the equipment of the model with manual box Not included ESP, but it is still worth ordering. This system is able to mimic the differential lock and will seriously help on a slippery road either on light off-road.

The large-sized "Yeti" assembly was established in Kaluga, but since the plant is currently moving to a small-sized assembly, the cars will supply from the Czech Republic to order. Term - 2.5-3 months. There is "Yeti" and in stock - the dealers have stocks of all-wheel drive models and "1.2 TSI DSG Limited Edition".

After issuing an inexpensive front-wheel drive version "RAV4", the company "Toyota" managed to attract the attention of buyers who previously believed that this popular crossover did not afford it. And this summer, the offer has become even more tempting - the dealers "Toyota" began to offer the last restyled version, which already belongs to model year 2011. Improved equipment, increased the power of the motor, improved the design of the facial part - these are the main changes.

"RAV4" does not need a submission - this is a legend among small crossovers. The modern third generation of "Rafikov" lost three-door modification, but an extended version appeared, with a more spacious second chairs and trunk. True, its restyling did not affect.

"RAV4" is distinguished by high quality, endurance and enviable level of comfort even when driving on broken roads. It is necessary to pretty try to "break through" its energy-intensive suspension on the bodies. This quality is hereditary. After all, the first "rafiki" were created precisely for lovers of outdoor activities, which reflected in the name of the model - "Recreation Active Vehicle". And all the newcomers of the class described in our review still more "sharpened" on asphalt.

"Saved" Rafik "and its main advantage over competitors is accurate, predicted behavior on the road, worthy of passenger cars."

Alexey Aksenov, "Claxon" № 15 '2009

For a short-passable version, a standard is a 158-strong two-liter gasoline engine with a variable phase system "Valvematic", and for the extended - 170-strong "2.4 VVTI" with a traditional "automatic".

Restyled cars are offered in four fixed configurations. The rest are represented by two versions - the middle "Comfort Plus" and the highest "Prestige Plus". The latter has a leather interior, seats, advanced navigation system with "Winchester" and an access system without a key.

The choice of color interior options is notgeful. But in the Accessories section you can choose the sports steering wheel steering wheel and lever, as well as various scenery. And externally, the car can be transformed, ordering the thresholds of stainless steel or stylish steps - along with the reached on the stern, they will give the crossover a real off-road image.

A week 3 years ago, I moved to this car. The age is small and, as it turned out, not critical for reliability, at least for my instance.

In mid-April, the dealer had a diagnosis of suspension, on which no problems were detected. It was pleasantly surprised by this circumstance. The suspension has a good stock for reliability.

Also at the dealer eliminated the dragonfaction in the cheek district from the fuel tubes (a little annoying children's sore). Several weeks previously connected Vag-COM and watched errors. Nothing! Auto B. complete order.

Strengths:

• I consider the basis of the fact that Skoda Yeti for these 3 years I do not even bother me. Good car!

Weak sides:

• 2010 and 2011 Assembly, cars have a lot of "children's sores". In my case, the local dealer with them successfully fought

Feedback Skoda Yeti 1.2 (Skoda Yet) 2011 part 4

From the last review passed a whole year. Mileage has already exceeded 45,000 km. Despite the reviews of all the wage products, there were no problems with problems, although it was not possible to avoid "children's" sores either. Perhaps with them and start.

The main problem is to swell the door paint below the molding. The first time turned on the driver's side. The dealer fulfilled work without problems, but poorly glued a protective film. Re-appeal reported that it was problem place, but overlap again at your own expense. In mid-April 2013, after washing, already painted. Those doors that painted, looked smokingly. Plus, I discovered from the passenger side of the bubbling, but appearance They were in perfect order. Why painted? I went again to the dealer with my problem. Everyone was filmed, everyone agreed. Additionally reported that the shares will be replaced by door seals that threw paint on the racks. After a couple of weeks, I went for a week to ride a submenit Fabia. Made everything well. This time there was no problem with the protective film.

Second sore - timing chain. By spring, a loud roar appeared several times when the engine starts. A couple of weeks before the end of the warranty came with a problem to the dealer. Spoke about suspicions. They said to report. After a week, the call - come tomorrow. Without inspection, they took a car and made work on replacing the timing chain to the upgraded. When I took the car, the manager reported that the work was carried out on the first request of the client, there is no common stock.

Strengths:

• Still crossover, although the front-wheel drive
• Shower engine 1.2 TSI
• Good running characteristics
• Compact urban car

Weak sides:

• Many children's sores

Feedback Skoda Yeti 1.2 (Skoda Yet) 2012

Hello everyone, I finally got to the computer and decided to write a review about my typewriter.

I will start with how I decided to acquire this beast. I have a small driving experience, this is my second car in life, and I consider it necessary to say a few words about my first miracle, it was Chevrolet Lanos 2006 release. I chose and bought it myself, and I didn't know anything about the cars at that moment, as a result I bought a battered copy in a terrible technical condition, I owned it three years, during which time I drove 8,000 km and invested 200,000 rubles After all the torment, the car was sold and Dan Zama himself would never bind to b \\ in cars.

And here I am looking for a new horse, I have not presented any special requirements, but there was a number of parameters when choosing: high clearance and the price of not more than 1,000,000 rubles and the absence of clutch pedal. There were quite a few cars in this category, but the main options were a tested cat, an attractive hover of 5 diesel with a machine gun, well, and Yeti with a robot. Speaking frankly, my wife and I wanted to buy Khovers until the very last moment, doubts were only on two points - this is what the main drive rear and this is China. Although the test drive and just inspection of the car gave her 100 points, but it was in Moscow, on arrival from vacation to Murmansk, it turned out that while the huvey was driving, he went up by 50,000 rubles and its price with all the necessary preparations of the car was 970000 rubles. In this regard, right from the Great Wall Salon, I headed to the Skoda salon and four months later, by the end of November 2012, I took 1.2 TSI DSG from the salon of my white snowy person with dopami.

Strengths:

• Little outside spacious inside
• Frisky motor
• Excellent robot
• System Transformation System
• Quality materials Finishing and assembly Auto

Weak sides:

"Yesterday five were very big. And today three, but small. " Now imagine the experience of the hero of the famous miniature Mikhail Zhvanetsky about cancers, if "big" and "small" cost the same. Our case! New Nissan. Qashqai and updated KIA Sportage more compact than Mazdacx-5 and Toyota RAV4 - the difference in length is from 10 to 19 cm. And the "small" Skoda Yeti is at all shorter than four decimeters. But the initial prices for all-wheel drive versions of all five crossovers with gasoline engines With a capacity of about 150 hp Almost the same. Is that smaller, will be equipped with a cooler. However, the key question is the same as in the case of cancers. What are better: those that today, or those yesterday?

The more car, the more spacious? Yes, but ... On the one hand, Toyota in this quintet is out of competition: you sit behind both in the business class. You can also build up, after throwing back the back of the sofa, you can throw the leg to the leg. The remaining four is closer. But thanks to the vertical landing, the most compact Skoda on request for passengers is no worse than Mazda, Nissan and Kia, - a man in 176 cm at the same driver in front of knees of more than ten centimeters!

Moreover, if it is convenient to sit in CX-5 and Yeti, then Qashqai and Sportage as they conspired - they offer a low landing for a grasshopper, with sked knees.

New Qashqai - as a dietary hamburger: looks appetizing, but the taste is unplant

0 / 0

And trunk? We measured their volumes with the help of "tarled" balls, and ... here is already a connection with the length of the body. Direct: Skoda holds only 343 "ball" liters and can be compared with Nissan (404 L) and KIA (413 L) only if Move forward or dismantle the three rear twin seats at all. By the way, only Yeti has such an opportunity, as well as an optional folding front seat.

"Fat!" - The highest praise Casca from aggressive-progressive youth. Fancy composition of militant plastic, glossy decor and "fittings" of New Teana looks rich

But even damaging the freedom of passengers and receiving the coveted 447 liters under the curtain, in Skoda still do not download so much Skarba, how many P-scratch Mazda (540 L) or Toyota (537l). Moreover, RAV4 has an optional electric device with a fifth door, and the loading height is substantially less. From the spring of this year, Russian "rafiki" are completed with the region: the floor of the trunk fell, there is no longer a porbit full of full sparkle.

Today, the degree of competition in the class of compact crossovers, high as ever before. The automotive market of Russia phenomenon is very unstable, only two classes can boast peak sales: sedans and crossovers. This article is devoted to crossovers and we will have to compare the four most models of compact crossovers.

For an objective definition, it is necessary to compare the two most attractive models of the car. Each car, regardless of its class affiliation, has a number of characteristic distinctive features: price, design style, technical equipment, general vector of design of design thought.

In the automotive market of Russia, the most attractive compact model is Suzuki SX4, if the car is considered from the point of view of its market value. Is this the only advantage of a popular car? Of course not.

A compact crossover KIA Sportage in his class is in the automotive market of Russia and Europe one of the most popular models, from the point of view of sales. Indeed, there are no accidents in the world. Korean compact crossovers are indeed performed at a decent level and statistics of this confirmation.

Compact crossover Subaru. The XV currently occupies a perspective position when it takes advantage of it and will take advantage of whether it remains unknown. It is one of the basic advantages of the Subaru XV car in its class.

Skoda Yeti is the only real competitor from the European auto industry in the class of compact crossovers. The design of the Czech car in combination with the German classic stuffing is very weighty arguments in the automotive market. This is all flawlessly perfect, however, the question immediately arises: "Does the compact crossover correspond to the Skoda of its value?". The purpose of the test of all four cars is to determine who among the compact crossovers will deserve in Russia.

Absolute leader at first glance

At first glance, absolute is the compact crossover Subaru XV. If you believe the factory documentation for the clearance of the car is 220 mm, which in turn makes it running overall. In terms of compactness, Subaru XV is the most unique option. The belt function in the car on itself was placed by the variator along with the chain. They combined are well-resistant to maximum permissible loads.

Test Drive Subaru XV:

Large dimensions - it's about kia sportage

The KIA Sportage compact crossover takes the second position in the numbers of cars sold in its functionally segment. Most consumers make their choice in favor of Kia Sportage, thanks to its cross-direction. It is quite adequate if correlated with quality and functionality. By itself, the compact crossover KIA Sportage is extremely spacious, so every passenger will feel comfortable in his salon and, of course, the driver himself, and, regardless of its physical parameters. Factory setting chassis, to put it mildly, hardly deserves the fourth. All the irregularities found on the highway are reflected in the appropriate oscillation of the car's salon, such is the specificity of the suspension.

In principle, the overall level of isolation is compared with the presented analogs in a good level, however, this is still not enough. Although the car engine nominally has a capacity of as many as 170 horse power, however, unfortunately automatic box The gear over strongly levels the factory power of the car.
