A good mood. Toyota RAV4 against Nissan X-Trail. Comparison Toyota RAV4 and Nissan Qashqai Comparison x Trail Raving 4

Relatively recently appeared Nissan Qashqai.+2 Not so simple and the opponent was picking up. The car is seven. And other cars of this class (with the same number of places) and the dimensions are much more and at a price much higher. Already the fight is not on equal.

Car Nissan Qashqai and his decent opponent - Toyota RAV4

Therefore, a car was selected with close technical characteristics, including size and cost, but a five-seater. So, meet, in the left corner of the ring. Today we find out who is better - Nissan Cascai or Toyota Rav4. And let the strongest wins!

In detail about rivals

Let's look at our fighters in more detail. On the one hand, Toyota RAV4 2.0i 4HWD Cross Sport is worth 32.5 thousand dollars, and on the other - Nissan Qashqai + 2 2.0 DCI All-Mode in the road of Tekna Pack for $ 33140.

To accommodate a couple of seats to a five-seater platform, the manufacturer had to lengthen the wheel database by 13.5 cm, as well as sinks at the back of 7.5 cm. The rest is in principle unchanged. Now the car can be considered a full crossover, and not a hatchback-overgrowth, which was a five-seater.

Equipment

Toyota OUR N. maximum configurationBut this does not mean that in the poor. Equipment of such a "minimal" as follows: Stabilization and anti-lock system, Effort limiters and pretensioners for safe belts, for Spec Running Isofix and Already Seven Ire Runs. Who will say that in Toyota do not think about security?

All of the above also has a basic Nissan, with the exception of the foot driver's air run, their six for the minimum configuration. So far we touched only, but this is not all as you understand. And what else did the manufacturer have his children? We will consider further, continuing the comparison of Nissan Cashkai and Toyota Rav4.

Interior, internal volumes

As already mentioned, Qashqai has no basic performance, therefore, leather salon. Rafa has a cloth on the seats, but heated them is better than a competitor. It feels even now, early spring, which is already talking. Again, the shape of the chairs themselves is more convenient for Toyota. Even with a sharp turn out of them, they do not express how from leather Cascais.

There are no complaints about ergonomics in any other car. All at hand, modern and efficiently performed. Toyota has the backlight of the devices better than the opponent. The instruments themselves are optimous, are brutal, which facilitates their readability.

Climate control is "reasonable" at Rafa, the distribution of air flows is optimally in all directions. But the control of climate control buttons requires addiction from both.

The middle row of Nissan seats are cleared for three. Salon Rav4 Sewer - There are enough places behind Troim. Yes, and the tunnel in the center of the floor is barely noticeable, the legs do not interfere, which you can not say about Casca.

If a rear armchairs Qashqai is not folded in half, it becomes quite small, about 125 liters of volume. And in the folded condition of the chairs space of the luggage compartment 550 liters. Here Toyota lags behind, its volume is 506 liters.

Well, if you need to download quite a huge dimensional dimensions, whether it is Nissan Qashqai or Toyota RAV4 - such an opportunity is provided. After folding the rear row of the rifle seats or the average in the village, we get 1470 and 1520 liters of volume, respectively. As you can see, here Toyota lost a bit.

It should also be noted that two additional places Nissan provides for the growth of passengers not more than 1.6 m, above does not allow the ceiling. There are seat belts, armrests, as well as head restraints that are regulated.

Appearance

But if you are limited to transporting four passengers, and even extreme trails are adhering to Toyota RAV4 is a car for you. Numerous auto electronics to help you.

Here we have the fight Nissan Qashqai against Toyota Rav4 came out. And as far as he is like you, write below. Until new meetings, good luck and good auto inspector on the track!

The father had such. 2007, bought was in early 2008 in the Salon of New. Build Japan. Gasoline 2.0 on the variator.

Up to 60000 km. no problem. For 60 first time changed the front brake discs, I was rejected by 2 sets of pads (i.e., the pads changed every 30 thousand). Also on 60 t.km. Front support bearings were replaced - they began to knock after frequent journeys.

On 75! T.km. The first time changed the rear brake discs, as well after two sets of pads. So we did not have claims to brakes. But parents go a lot on the highway in the Republic of Belarus. In some period, they demanded the replacement of the stabilizer rack (well, this is a penny matter). By the end of the guarantee (100t.km.) rear hub bearings were replaced.

Strengths:

• Trunk
• reliability,
• economical…

Weak sides:

• Design and exterior and lounge controversial,
• weak shum
• dynamics only to move from A B B

I do not know how anyone, but I happen to me that the moment comes when "the demon in the edge" and I understand that it's time to change the car. And if earlier it was somehow reasonable - domestic cars They started to fall apart, in the case of the X-Trail-Ohm, more than in order, the car completely properly, no glitches annoyed, the design did not come, from OD with their "strolled" prices I have already been bothering, to live, be happy, But no, I spent all September in visiting various car dealerships, looking for and trying on my next car. At the same time, the wife decided to change her Avensis on something more passable, because In our yards in the winter she stuck several times. So I looked through a lot of things from crossovers and "female", and "male", and once again convinced how much a good choice Made in 2008

Almost 90 thousand kilometers passed, more than 5 years old, from unscheduled works - only replacement light bulbs (imagine this simple procedure you have to do in service) and both bumpers - the front damage me one inattentive citizen who I had the negligence to give way to the way I drove with the parking lot, and the rear - I myself, attached to some trench so that he cracked from the bottom from two sides. Yes, she addressed the service with one and the same problem twice - stopped opening the back door outside. For the second time, the servicemen said that this is a common phenomenon from these machines - in the frost there is something in the case inside, if he hardly pull the cable knob flies with the guide and the door stops opening. Here in principle, all the problems.

Thousands of 50 changed both rear shock absorber, about the same was the resource at GOODYEAR ULTRA Grip, candles, pads - according to the regulations. The average consumption was established at the level of 11.2-11.3 liters, but it should be noted that on weekdays I am to work and finally get at least an hour, and it also happens 2 more than 2 km, overcoming 17 km, so you won't call a voracious motor. The most amazing - consumption is practically independent of the load, which is one to go, that in a fist full trunk Things - the numbers are about the same. At the same time, under the load, the car becomes collected, or directly lipot to the road, like him :).

Strengths:

Weak sides:

• I reconciled with the lack of MP3, and with unimportant noise insulation, and with a stupid curtain in the trunk. The only thing I can not reconcile - well, why it is impossible to change the light bulbs (not only Nissan)

Initially, he chose a car to replace the Chevrolet Niva, who did not please with his reliability or comfort, most irritated constant small and not very breakdown, as in the Zhiguli, you constantly need to do something, a box of WORLD AND TD, in general the owners of these cars in the know ... .

Car bought for his father, could not watch him suffer on the Niva, given that the biggest off-road, for which he rides, is the road to the country, yes for mushrooms in the forest, in the rest of the city cycle and the track, with grandchildren then go, something big to transport. In principle, the father agreed on the car after traveled on my lacetti, but knowing that his dream was still a jew (therefore I took the Niva), I began to search for 4 WD. There were many options: RAV4, PAJERO, DUSTER, X-TRAIL, CR-V. Toyota is not enough, not the biggest ground clearanceYes, and the trunk is not very spacious, Mitsubishi is good, frame design, blocking distribution, powerful motor, Yes, and the view of the representative, scared the flow, and all these locks with the distribution are still unnecessary, besides for 17 thousand (and it was my budget at that time) I won't take. Honda also disappeared, not the most successful car for a business man, rather for a young guy and a drive ride, and the price bites. Duster - a good option And if you can add a little from the cabin, but Shildik Renault and the poor (as for me the design) did not allow it to buy it.

Number of passenger road transport It grows, completely new models appear, already familiar cars are being upgraded. And to find out which of the models is better in its parameters, often carried out.

But that the comparison of two models was objective, it takes to take into account many factors - class car, manufacturer, features of technical filling, price category, etc.

Below we will discuss two cars that are very similar in many factors: both are the most popular Class "Crossover", both in Japan are produced and belong to one price category, but companies are different. These cars are Toyota RAV4 and.

Let's start with the fact that Toyota RAV4 is much longer than your opponent, the production of this model began in 1994 and at the moment the 4th generation is already available. Nissan Qashqai also appeared in 2006, and now the company offers only 2 generation. It's kind and a trifle, but for a longer period of production, any company more accounts for the wishes of the owners and embodies them in the next generation.

Overall parameters

As for the overall parameters and characteristics, here Toyota is almost all indicators by all the indicators, it is more and more room. But still one of the most important parameter - clearance, RAV4 is inferior. These data are shown in the table:

Some parameters have several values \u200b\u200bbecause these cars can be equipped with different power plants that affect the overall dimensions.

Exterior of cars

Both of these crossover producers are positioned like youth cars, loving active pastime. Therefore, both of them have a sporty bias in design. Some designer solutions from these cars are very similar, although they are issued by different companies. So, in these crossovers, the radiator grille is embellished with a finely mesh in the form of cells. The headlights have a sword-shaped shape, while they approach the grille.

The difference is different design of the radiator grille. Qashqai is decorated with a V-shaped stylish insert, which is now inherent in all models of this manufacturer. There is a signboard inside this insert.

In the RAV4, the lattice decided to divide horizontally chromed stripes. And in the center there is a nameplate on a wedge-shaped insert.

Headlight filling is almost identical - halogen headlights and LED kidoviki. But at Toyota, these kids are located in the form of a small strip over the turn signals, and Nissan they repeat the sweep-shaped headlight contour.

Bumpers in these crossovers are massive and occupy most Front. But the design is significantly different. The central air intake in RAV4 is divided into two parts with a wide stripe with a platform for a license plate. The fenceman was embedded with a shallow grid.

Qashqai also the area for the room is above the air intake. The air intake itself is solid and sealed with a large grille. From similar elements, crossovers can only be noted Round fog.

Behind the similarity of these cars even more. Behind both models are installed impressive rear stop signals, and the form of them is intricate and with a strong occasion of the rear wings. From above the back door decorates a spoiler with a duplicate stop signal.

The rear bumper is not very massive. But here RAV4 shows the wishes of the owners of past models. This car for facilitating loading the bumper has become concave from above, and the rear door comes close to the bumper. This provides a lower height for loading. Qashqai has no.

Comparison of interiors

In the cabin, these cars are also worked out well. The differences between the car here appear more. Design, and technical filling. It affects the beginning of the production of the last generation. Rav4 appeared in 2012, and Qashqai - in 2013. Therefore, it looks somewhat easier in the Toyota cabin.

Interior Toyota RAV4.

So, in the RAV4 dashboard consists of three round information sensors and a small monochrome display on-board computer. Qashqai The same board consists of two wells with sensors and an overall color side computer.

As for the central console in these cars, no unusual equipment can be seen, and the location of the existing devices is very similar.

Interior Nissan Qashqai.

The main place on the consoles from crossovers is allocated under the display of the multimedia system, but Qashqai is more in size, which is why the central deflectors have placed above it. The RAV4 display is less dimensional, and the deflectors were installed on the sides of it.

The display hosts a climate system with small information displays. That's just RAV4 stylistically designing the location of this system is better done, its control unit is placed on a small shelf that facilitates access to the climate system. QASHQAI has such a shelf, the control unit is almost vertically.

Central tunnels for equipping these cars are practically no different. The tunnel contains gearbox selectors, handbrake, cupcakes and clothing boxes, wide armrest.

Technical component

Let's go to technical filling . For both of these cars, three power plants - Two gasoline and one diesel. But by the indicators confidently leads RAV4.

Video: Nissan Qashqai 2015 VS Toyota RAV4 2015

Toyota offers its crossover with petrol engines 2.0 and 2.5 liters of volume. At the same time, their power indicators are 146 and 180 hp. respectively.

The diesel installation has 2.2 liters of volume and power indicator at the level of 150 hp

Qashqai engines are more comprehended. Gasoline installations have volumes of 1.2 and 2.0 liters. 1,2-liter engine produces 115 hp, and 2.0-liter - 144 hp Diesel from this Nissan has a 1.6 liter volume with an energy indicator of 130 hp. But, having a smaller and power engines, Qashqai is more economical.

Let us turn to the transmissions. Toyota offers three types of gearbox to its motors - "Mechanics", variator and automatic transmission. Nissan can "boast" only a manual box and variator. But certain types of gearbox interact only with specific engines.

So, RAV4 "Mechanics" and the variator are offered only with 2.0 liter petrol aggregate. Version with these transmissions can be both front-wheel drive and full drive.

And two other motors interact only with automatic transmission, and the drive is only full.

Qashqai distribution is somewhat different. The 1.2-liter crossover goes on sale only with "mechanics" and front-wheel drive.

Two types of PPC are available only for 2.0-liter gasoline. Moreover, the version with the manual transmission is the front-wheel drive, and the crossover with the variator can be both front-wheel drive and driven on both axis. Diesel also goes to Nissan only with a variator and front-wheel drive.

But Qashqai faster than his opponent. Depending on the model, its high-speed indicator varies from 182 to 194 km / h. RAV4 has almost all models can accelerate only up to 180 km / h, and only diesel is able to "issue" 185 km / h.

Based on this, it is clear that Qashqai is an exclusively urban model, while RAV4 can also "fight" with off-road.

Configuration and cost

As for the packages that are available to these crossovers, each model is six, but with different names. RAV4 configurations are called: Classic, Standard, Comfort, Comfort Plus, Elegance Plus and Prestige Plus. Nissan with the names of the packages did not really "bother", so they only have alphabetic indices: Xe, SE, SE +, LE, LE + and Le Sport.

Finally, compare these cars in price. Possessing a few better technical characteristics, Toyota has a greater value.

If in stock execution the cost of these cars is almost identical, then the difference for crossovers in the top version is relatively good.

Thus, in the Toyota RAV4 will cost 998 thousand rubles. And the basic Qashqai costs 979 thousand rubles. This is the minimum value of these crossovers.

But if you take models with maximum equipment, Qashqai will cost 1,539 thousand rubles, against 1,670 thousand rubles. for RAV4.

It turns out that in most indicators the crossover from Toyota is better than his opponent from Nissan. But Qashqai has some advantages that make this car attractive.

Most recently appeared on the roads of Russia, and already managed to conquer the hearts of many motorists. Stylish modern design, off-road potential and the introduction of technical innovations allowed him in the shortest possible time to enter the twenty of the most popular cars of our market. How justified this reputation is to be disassembled in comparison with two other, similar to the characteristics of crossovers: Toyota RAV4 and Subaru Forester..

Basic characteristics: 2.0-liter 4-cylinder atmospheric motors 144 to 150 hp, working paired with six-speed mechanical boxes Transmissions.

Top Japanese models are equipped with 2.4 to 2.5 l engines, with a capacity of 171 to 180 hp. in combination with automatic transmissions. These are these copies and subjected to comparison.

The main price is

The mighty Forester is also equipped with stamped wheels, but still the configuration is close to the X-Trail. However, it only happens all-wheel drive, because of which prices for it begin with 1406,000 rubles.

If you compare the cars close to equip with 2.4 and 2.5 l engines, full drive, variator, climate control, cast discs, Parktronics or rear view camera, rain and light sensors, then the following results are obtained. Cost Nissan X-Trail Reaching 1661,000 rubles, RAV4 - 1747000 rubles and Subaru Forester - 1,664,000 rubles. And this price for the subaru last year of release, and, most likely, updated models Will be more expensive.

Interior features

Some owners of the previous generation X-Trail complained about the grindness of the sofa. In the updated car, this flaw was corrected. True, and about the title of a talented cargo carrier today only have to remember. No, not everything is so bad - using a removable hard shelf in the trunk, you can build a bunk tire, thereby increasing the useful luggage area. But this design will not replace the practicality of the plastic floor and the convenient organizer located under it.

Some questions cause the front of the Toyota interior. Namely electronic, originally from the 80s of the last century, the watch on the torpedo, hidden behind the wheel and under the front panel of the button. Not all this fit with the price of the car and its modern equipment. However, there are no complaints about the visibility and convenience of charts.

Challenges

But as you know, its quality in Russia is very tempting. It is one thing, smooth and even, as a billiard table, another - ragless, as if after real combat sections of roads. So, for the carriage of the second type Toyota - not the most optimal option. Her dense suspension manages to notice even the smallest defects on the road, and if the wheel landed into a more or less deep bump, the hard shot is guaranteed. But on a good Toyota highway rolls canceled - without lainless noise, clearly losing the steering wheel, with minimal rolls in turns.

A new X-Trail though also rustled with good manners, but not in his movements of Toyotovskaya ease and speed. It is reliable in management, comfortable on the go, but not so debris. It affects greater weight and dimensions. However, if you need to pump a blood, without looking at my feet and on the speedometer, then Nissan will not let it down. Pits and joints it works softer, without losing touch with the road.

What is Forester? He is easier than his rivals, and the opposite motor provided him with a low center of mass. And these physical data engineers were used to the maximum.

In Subaru, in an amazing way, the ability to gently pass along the potholes and delicious handling. And even if he does not have such spectacular appearance, more closely than competitors salon and less trunk, on the Forester - the best.

conclusions

The Toyota RAV4 crossover recently received an updated appearance and a modified chassis. Will these changes help him win in comparative test with Nissan X-Trail a new generation? Fight promises to be interesting

Appearance Toyota RAV4 was transformed quite significantly, especially if you look at the car in front. Actually, the front of the crossover is absolutely new: the bumper, the headlights, the "fog" and the grille of the radiator have nothing to do with the dorestayling model. On the sidewalls of the body you can notice the changed overlays on the thresholds and new edging wheel arches. "Feed" gained redistributed lights, bumper and back door lining.

Technical changes are dictated by the wishes of customers. So, many complained about the rigid suspension. In this regard, the restyling model received softer springs and shock absorbers. And so that controllability does not suffer, the designers increased the body rigidity. In addition, noise insulation is significantly improved using the floor absorbing coatings, the area of \u200b\u200bwhich increased by 55% compared with the dorestayling model.

On the russian market Modifications with two 2.0 and 2.5 l gasoline engines are proposed, developing 146 and 180 hp, respectively. There is also a version with a 2.2-liter turbodiesel with a capacity of 150 hp Price range basic equipment - from 1,174,000 to 2,008,000 rubles.

Nissan X-Trail Compared to the model of the previous generation has changed dramatically. If the predecessor looked like a natural SUV, then the novelty looks like a "parckotnik", which she actually is. In general, the design of the car is a pretty and sports, only many confuse him with the younger class Nissan Qashqai - they are very similar. By technical part, the crossover received a tougher chassis for better controllability.

In our country Nissan. X-TRAIL is sold with three power units. These are two gasoline engines (2.0 and 2.5 l) with a capacity of 144 and 171 hp, as well as a 1.6-liter turbodiesel, which develops 130 hp Prices for basic versions begin with 1,299,000 rubles, and end at 1,826,000 rubles.

As it often happens, there were no identical modifications in the press parks for a comparative test. Our Nissan X-Trail is equipped with a 2.5-liter 171-strong engine, and RAV4 is a 2-liter unit with a capacity of 146 hp. But both with the variasts. Yes, and according to the declared dynamic characteristics They differ not significantly.

Square and circle

The interior of Toyota is strict. Design "chopped", consisting of straight lines and angles, from round things except devices. By the way, the restyled model has a completely new dashboard, it looks more expensive than before, and is best read. A 4.2-inch multifunctional display with great graphics appeared between the instrument dials. The finishing of door panels, steering wheel and inserts on the front panel changed. In general, the materials became more expensive, although the top of the front panel is still made of rigid plastic. But the windowsill on the doors are soft to the touch.

Nissan Salon is the exact opposite of Toyotovsky. Smooth lines, rounded surfaces. And soft plastic more: a supple material of the doors, as well as the top and the central part of the front panel. In short, on the quality of finishing materials and fitting the cabin panels, our rivals are identical.

For the convenience of seats and geometry of planting driving, we also put the sign of equality. Ranges of adjustments of the chairs and steering wheels allow you to easily settle down to people of different plates in both cars. Seats perfectly distribute loads and have low-rise side support. However, these are not sports cars, so the powerful side support is not needed. As for the right front chairs, they do not have adjustments in the height, which is characteristic of japanese models.

Also typical of "Japanese" and some ergonomic misses. For example, both crossovers sin with an uncomfortable location of the seats heating keys. At Toyota, they are located under the "influx" of the central console, forcing under it to look, and Nissan the buttons are located near the central armrest, which makes distracted from the road. Both steers are adjusted in a short shoulder height, which is in the upper position are located in a bus company. Not all the keys are highlighted at night, and if you do not remember the location, find them in the dark is not easy. And when I had to ride a loose snow, we in Toyota spent a lot of time to search for a stabilization system shutdown buttons. However, the permanent owners are the location of the desired keys, of course, sooner or later remember.

But Toyota and Nissan are perfectly equipped. So, both have rear view cameras and heated windshields. And in RAV4 also steering wheel It is heated - true, only in places of proper grip. And yet, when you sit in Toyota, the pants remain clean even in the most dirty weather, because the door of the crossover is entirely closed the thresholds. But in the X Trail, it is almost impossible to get inside.

On the second row, both opponents offer unexpectedly a lot of space in all directions. So, if a man with an increase in 180 cm adjusts front chair In Toyota, and stops back, then before his knees will remain at least 15 cm, and even in Nissan, even a couple of centimeters more. But above the head of the space is already more in RAV4, since its sofa is located much lower than in the X-Trail, which offers the backdabs of the commander landing. But Toyota's seat liked more, since his pillows are softer and longer. In both, by the way, the backs can be adjusted along the angle of inclination. The sofa at Nissan, unlike the opponent, moves back and forth, although this function is no longer affected by the comfort of passengers, but on the space for baggage.

However, luggage compartment X-Trail at least somehow can compete by volume with Toyotovsky only if you move rear seats Before stopped forward. In the usual configuration, the Nissan trunk is noticeably less, and its loading height is more. Under the floor of the Nissanov model, a full-fledged spare wheel is located, and Toyota offers "Drops". Actually, a full spare wheel and ate in the X Trail part of the volume. The trunk in Nissan can be divided into parts by removing the part of the floor and installing the improvised shelf on the side protrusions. But these protrusions reduce the already small volume. When laying off the seats of the second row, both are flat.

They are so different

Engine Nissan. It works smoothly and unnoticed, and the stepless variator provides a car "trolleybus" overclocking. Moreover, overclocking is quite frisky even on a slippery surface. But it should be noted that when harsh pressed On the accelerator pedal, the front wheels have time to slip before the moment is transferred to the rear axle, although the delay is small. The engine reacts to the fuel supply smoothly and very vividly, and even on high speeds, its sound is not different.

Toyota with intensive acceleration does not raise. And not so much due to the lower power of the power unit, how much due to the best system settings full drive. The accelerator pedal here is stronger here, especially at low speeds. However, the nature of the machine can be changed by turning on the "sports" mode - then the reaction to "gas" will become even more sharp than Nissan. The car changes so much that it seems to be behind the opponent, despite the more than a 20-strong loss in power. The variator works no worse than in the X-Trail, and the engine at high speeds at RAV4 has a more crown timbre (Nissan, by the way, there is no "sports" mode).

The brakes in standard modes do not cause any of the opponents. But when slowing down in a loose snow, we liked the Toyotovsky ABS settings more, the RAV4 stops in these conditions faster, and the slowdown is better dosed.

Steering in Toyota is sharper than that of the opponent (about 2.7 turns from the stop until it stops against exactly three), and when managing its Baranka is slightly faster than control actions. Despite this, RAV4 is perceived by a calmer car. In principle, both competitors respond to the control actions in a timely manner and adequately, without inherent in cars with a high center of severity of delays. But with a quick ride on a winding track, these crossovers differ as the sky and the earth.

So, the X-Trail literally turns the driver, provoking it on the attack of turns at the limit of the tire's coupling properties. The machine behaves like a sports car, without delay rushing to the blisters. And the arc is perfectly perfect, in the limit showing light insufficient turning.

In Toyota, the driver feels as if he accepted the good dose of sedative. At the same time, RAV4 in the turns moves more stable and more reliable than the opponent, but the desire does not cause shroud. Actually, both of our competitors are characterized by a good balance of the chassis and in the limit modes are managed very much like, only the sensations cause different. It is difficult to choose the best of them on controllability, as it all depends on personal preferences. On the highway both "Japanese" confidently hold straight, despite irregularities and beacon.

Improved during restyling toyota suspension It really became softer than the pre-reform version, but the car still passes irregularities tightly and assembled, and on a wavy road it repeats its profile in detail. In a word, the "sofa" RAV4 did not turn. Although the X-Trail is not like a feather on the feather: his chassis is tuned hard, and the shocks on the irregularities are felt about the same tight and elastically as a competitor. And for noise insulation, crossovers are equal. The main source of noise in both - winter "rubber". Moreover, it is strong enough and Nissan and to Toyota, and if RAV4 is compared with dorestayling modification, then the difference is very noticeable just on the part of isolation from road noise.

In the dirt or snow on both crossovers need to go carefully. Geometric permeability and toyota with 197 mm clearance, and Nissan with a 210-millimeter road lumen is quite decent, and the corners of the entry-Congress are not bad, but it should be borne in mind that there are variators. We were not tormented by the cars, so that before overheating it did not reach, but with the dispensing of thrust at low speed problems arose at both. And this is fraught with rapid instillation when driving on loose and bulk coatings - traditional "automata" behave in such conditions much better. However, RAV4 with a more powerful 2.5-liter motor is equipped with the "automatic", however, it has a ground clearance of only 165 mm. But the diesel version of Toyota and Avtomat has, and the 197-millimeter ground clearance. So there is a choice. W. X-Trail versions With a "automatic" does not happen. On solid primer, both behave well, since the energy intensity has excellent suspension.

So, our rivals are very close. So, the choice between the calm character of Toyota and the active drive Nissan is a matter of personal preferences. But if you approach the case from the practical side, then RAV4 offers customers more options.
