What to choose Nissan Cascai or Kia Sportage. Compare Cars Kia Sportage Nissan Qashqai Subaru XV

By analogy with the European concern BMW And Audi, which throughout its history compete among themselves, in recent year has tightened the struggle and between Asian giants. Especially relevant in relation to company crossovers. Today it will be about South Korean and Japanese Parquet, as we compare Kia Sportage and Nissan Cascai.

Kia Sportyja can already be safely called the legendary crossover, as it is produced since 1992, and does not lose its popularity to today. The car went to the market in 1994 and immediately entrenched among the leaders in sales. Interestingly, the debut version of the model was also available in a pickup body. Sports of the second generation, which debuted in 2004, was also gathered at the Kaliningrad factory. In 2010, the presentation of Sportage 3, who next year was recognized as the best crossover in Slovakia. In 2015, the Korean "of the fourth generation was presented in Frankfurt, which was recognized as the most stylish in his class.

As for Casca, he pleases his fans since 2006. Named after Iranian steppe tribes, the car perfectly copes with his "nomadic" duties, as it is considered one of the best crossovers For long trips. The debut version, as it does not sound surprising, is completely designed in Europe, and the main market for the model is European countries. In the fall of 2013, the second-generation county was officially represented, which is now considered one of the safest crossovers.

Since Korean boasts a longer career, give preference to him.

Appearance

If you compare the appearance of the latest modifications of models, then the next picture is obtained - the exterior of Kia Sportyja looks very bold and dynamic. Also, the developers added a little aggressiveness, which was so lacked earlier. Front bangs the branded falseradiator lattice, the shape resembling the wings of a volatile mouse. The elongated headlights of the head optics come at the hood, which is undoubtedly the side looks very stylish. The large air intake, located on the front bumper, provides the necessary cooling of the "filling" of the car. Also, I would like to mention a smooth hood, which is a business card of the model range.

The side is just as simple and stylish. On the doors you can see smooth emptyings that are perfectly combined with volumetric wheels. As for the scene's stern, the corporate visor is immediately thrown into the eyes, which is a continuation of the roof, large rear lights, made using LED technology. The relief door of the trunk fits on itself a small window and the corporate logo of the concern under it.

But in the exterior of Casca, the main focus is on his sportiness. The developers understood that they could not die with designers Sportage, so they decided to surpass them in another. The front is more lowered than a competitor. Here you can see a small grid of the radiator with chrome elements and the acute headlamps of the head optics. The embossed bumper is equipped with a large air intake and stylish tumpers. As for the hood, he, in contrast to his visa, is very wide and embossed.

Side part of the crossover with something like the profile of Sportage. The same minor climbing, the volumetric arches and the falling roof. From this angle is also noticeable that with its dimensions of Cascais clearly inferior to the competitor. Rear end The Japanese car looks more collected and completed than that of Korean. It was possible to achieve due to the installation of the embossed lid of the trunk and an incredibly powerful bumper. However, this visor, almost the same as Sportage.

Salon

Given some similarity of car exteriors, no one was surprised by the fact that in the interior you can notice a lot of things. For example, it is almost identical ergonomics and dashboard layout. Is that the Sportage land has a larger touchscreen display, however, in everything else, a suspicious similarity is viewed, which confirms the fact that both cars are Asian. And this is taking into account the fact that Casca region designed European experts. As for the steering wheels, they are also performed in one style.

Among the differences I want to immediately note, the obvious difference in the interior decoration. If Cascai used dear, high-quality materials for this purpose, the Korean developers made a bet on practicality. This, of course, affects the overall impression of the interior.

However, the Sports Salon, in turn, is much pacifier, due to its incredible dimensions.

As a result, there is a completely contradictory situation, therefore, in comparing interiors of cars, a draw will be the most logical result.

Specifications

Sportage, for domestic market, equipped with a two-liter gasoline engine, as well as diesel engines at 1.6 and 2.0 l - they produce 150, 177 and 185 "horses", respectively. As for Casca, then gasoline engines are offered for 1.2 and 2.0 l, with a capacity of 115 and 144 horsepower and diesel at 1.6 from 130 hp ..

If we talk about dimensions, then Korean is 103 mm longer than its poses, 18 mm wider, and 50 mm above. Also Sportage Average 100 kg is heavier than its competitor.

The average fuel consumption of Sportyj is 8.2 liters, and Cascais is 7.7 liters.

Concerning maximum speed Overclocking, then the Japanese crossover is 194 km / h, and Sportage - 201 km / h.

If you say, it is better in terms of "filling" Nissan Qashqai 2016 or Kia Sportage 2017, then the second option looks more attractive.

Price

The minimum cost should not exceed the mark of 1,200,000 rubles. Nissan Cascai in the basic configuration will cost about 985,000 rubles. Given the fact that in terms of equipment, the Japanese is not inferior to her today's competitor, it looks like a more worthy option in terms of cost.

Many motorists are asked: "What is better -" Kia-Sportage "or" Nissan-Kashkin "?" Considering similar appearance, the parameters and the fact that both cars are in one price category, the answer to this question is greatly complicated. But this article selected the maximum amount of information, which will help once and forever decide on the choice: "Nissan-Casca" or "Kia-Sportage".

The car can be equipped with 3 variants of power units:

• The most popular in Russia and the most sold, of course, is a 2-liter 4-cylinder motor for 150 horsepower through a passport. This is a pretty "cave" development with the simplest technologies. Loaded, respectively, at a minimum, so very resource and undemanding. This apparatus issues 192 nm, which is quite optimal for crossovers of such a price category. Included with this motor you can choose either full or front-wheel drive. The car has a choice: a mechanical and automatic transmission. The dynamics are as follows: the limit overclocking 180-185 km / h, overclocking to hundreds in 10 seconds. "Eats" such an assembly with a mixed ride about 8 liters.
• The second option is a 1.6-liter motor with a turbine. Such a combination issues 177 "horses" and 265 nm, which is a very good indicator. Variation of the gearbox with such an aggregate is only one - this is the latest development with double clutchwhich are equipped expensive and sports cars. With it you can feel the real drive and driving pleasure. Such an assembly comes in a set with a full drive, which is for the better. Speed \u200b\u200bindicators: Maximum - 200 km / h, acceleration up to hundreds is 9.1 seconds. "Visezness" with a mixed type of driving will be 7.5 liters per 100 km.
• The third and, probably, the most interesting option is a 2-liter engine and a "eating" diesel fuel, declared for inconceivable 185 horsepower, as well as with 400 nm. Here is the best in the world, a simple 6-speed hydrotransformer gearbox, as in the variant with a 2-liter gasoline engine. Of course, this assembly comes only with a full drive. Dynamics Next: The highest speed - 201 km / h, acceleration until hundreds is achieved in 9.6 seconds. Fuel consumption with a mixed driving style will be 6.3 liters.

Conclusion about KIA Sportage

It's nice to realize how far the Korean car industry has stepped forward in the modern world. The price of "Kia-Sportage" begins with 1,200,000 rubles. TO standard equipment You can add a four-wheel drive, diesel engine, turbo 1.6, panoramic roof, collision control, traffic control in the strip, automatic parking. This equipment is in principle adequate to many famous brands of a million for 4.5. At the same time, in its top, it rests in 2 with a tail. And for this amount she has something to surprise you, even if you have moved from the car for 5 million. Although off-road parameters leave much to be desired, but everyone should understand that it is the wagon increased passibility Or, as the Korean company, the city crossover positions it.

Specifications Nissan Qashqai

Due to the change in the size of the body, the trunk volume became a little more and amounted to 487 liters.

Under the hood, we are already meeting the picture earlier on the predecessor. Here's how to equip the car:

1. The basic version has a 1.2 liter motor on gasoline with 4 cylinders and 16 valves. This development would cause a simple laughter, but the case corrects the turbine brought to mind, with the help of which there is 115 "horses" and 190 nm at the exit. Together with him there is a 6-speed gearbox, it is also possible to install a stepless variator. Such an assembly is able to accelerate to hundreds in 11 seconds and develop a complete limit equal to 180 km / h. According to the passport, the manufacturer declares consumption in 7 liters in combination mode.
2. The machine can be equipped with a 2-liter gasoline engine that issues 144 horsepower with torque in 200 nm on board. Possible gearboxes are the same as with a 1.2-liter engine. Of course, this motor gives the indicators better than the younger fellow. This version It is able to accelerate to 100 km / h in 10 seconds and issues the processed indicator of 185 km / h. Eats such a complete set in a combined mode of 6.5 liters.
3. Another version is equipped with a 1.6-liter engine, feeding with 4 cylinders, outstanding 130 horsepower and peak moment in 320 nm. Such a "heart" can accelerate the unit for 11 s and issue 184 km / h at maximum speed. "Vorab", of course, in this version will be less than in the gasoline configuration and will be 5 liters. But there is one minus: diesel engine It goes only in a pair with a variator.

Exterior Nissan Qashqai.

Compared to the previous model, several changes occurred. At first glance, the style remained unchanged, but this opinion is changing rapidly. The appearance became more audacious, brutal. We removed soft and smooth transitions, made a larger V-shaped lattice and pointed angles. The machine boasts new optics using modern developments.

Interior Nissan Qashqai.

If you compare the new version with the last option, the global changes did not appear. Nissan was able to preserve the optimal balance between the brutal design and high ergonomics of the family car. On the front panel there is an impressive number of buttons, as well as a corporate multimedia center with a large touch screen. Salon can be trimmed as genuine leather ( dear versions), so high-quality cloth. Front chairs have a convenient profile and large side support rollers. There is also equipped with heating systems and a wide selection of position adjustment.

The rear row is quite spacious. But the convenience of pastime spoils a rather rigid structure and a flat chairs profile. This factor will especially affect long distances when traveling.

According to the passport, the luggage compartment is equal to 487 liters, with the lower chairs, this number increases to about 1585 liters. It is worth noting that when lowering the seats at the exit, you get a completely smooth space. This gives both advantages in transportation and, if necessary, the possibility of overnight.

Comparison Nissan Qashgai and Kia Spoortage

Of course, it makes no sense to compare in the form of a special test "Nissan-Cascai" and "Kia-Sportage", since everyone has different tastes, so the general parameters of two machines will be given here. Appearance, pros and cons in design, prices, as well as technical components will be compared. As a result, you yourself determine what is better - "Kia-Sportage" or "Nissan-Kashkin".

Freshless Kia Sportage. Lubricates buyers with their non-standard, catchy appearance. In this, it is helped by the optimal proportions for both sports style and for family "workers". However, Nissan Qashgai is not much inferior in this parameter. Its appearance is more suitable for measured movement, trips to picnics, family travel. But for minuses it cannot be attributed, since people have different tastes, as well as everyone choose the car for the kind of activity and compliance with a certain image or status. In this comparison: "Kia-Sportage" against "Nissan-Casca", if we talk about appearance, there are no winners.

The two models presented are very similar in size, therefore, to compare Nissan-Casca and Kia-Sportage on the dimensions does not make sense.

Sportage can be equipped with one of the three power units. The first is a 2-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine with 150 "horses" on board and 192 nm. This is followed by an engine with 1.6 liters, eating gasoline, with a turbine showing 178 horsepower and 265 nm. The third device is a 2-liter diesel engine from which 185 forces were pulled out and an incredible 400 nm.

As for Nissan Qashgai, it also represents three options to buyers. The first is an engine with 1.2 liters on gasoline, showing 116 forces and 190 nm. The following version is a motor with 2 liters and from 140 l forces and 200 nm on a passport. 3 Variation - 1.6-liter diesel engine, capable of issuing 130 horsepower and 320 nm.

Based on these data, we can make this conclusion: Sportage confirms its sports crossover and is well suited for fast start and speed-moving lovers. The minus is a significant overpayment of taxes for extra horsepower. Based on this, it can be concluded that in the question of what to buy - "Kia-Sportage" or "Nissan-Kashkai", go comes japanese company. In turn, Nissan Qashgai offers no less interesting options for laying an aggregate device. The car is great for riding both the city and country tracks. The power reserve will be enough with a breathtaking, and especially in the city there will be no difference between two cars.

Also worth saying about the chic rear row. The specialist made a huge focus on him, and they achieved the desired result. Chairs have an ideal landing and holding elements, incredible softness and pleasant tactile sensations from materials. In Nissan, the situation is a bit worse. The chairs are also performed quality, but the stiffness of them leaves much to be desired. The front seats are approximately the same, but with Nissan microphogo.

Thus, if you are looking for a car for the assault of urban obstacles and off-road, then the choice here should be given the first model.

Appearance

If you want to choose Casca or Sportage, based on the external car design, then allocate the undoubted favorite will be quite difficult. If Nissan is simply characterized by spectaciness and confidence, Kia is striking with his swiftness.

Both cars are good enough.

Some sratis on the fact that this model The Japanese is difficult to distinguish from X-trail, but what's the difference? The car looks solid, and what else is needed? This is confirmed by an original profile with expressive stamps, shiny moldings, new optics and powerful air intakes.

If you want Kia Sportyj, it is worth noting that the second car seems to be preparing to jump, cauting at the moment of voltage. The front is a little squinting, which contributes to the inclined brand optics and the radiator grille with a grid trimmed with chrome. The profile of Kia looks quite solid and restrained.

The fifth door is distinguished - it is distinguished by the integrity and absence of sharp corners. Turn signals are installed on the rear bumper, which is somewhat unusual.

The characteristics of the transmission

In the competition, Nissan Cascai against Kia Sportage, you can not bypass the features of the transmission of these cars. At the same time, both vehicles offer motorists to choose from mechanical box shift gear and automation. At the same time, Kia can be equipped with a classic automatic transmission, whereas the variator is available in the case of Nissan.

The mechanical box in the Sportage is quite good - transfers to switch very easily, everything is done smoothly. The lever is optimally located, but it's not always convenient to use it - the course is too big. In addition, the mechanics here are somewhat selective.

MCPP Kashka also has her sins. This applies to the inclusion of odd gears. At the same time, it happens quite rarely, not still a fact. On the other hand, there are many more advantages at such a box. The lever goes smoothly, the course is small, comfortable, the gear ratios are selected optimally.

The machines also show themselves from the best side. Transmission from Hyundai-Kia behaves quite well in a heavy parquet.

At the same time, most owners say that such a box is better than mechanical. If not too abuse an aggressive style of driving and sharp offek, then the operation of the automatic transmission will be almost inconspicuous. It also has the ability to turn on the manual mode, but if you reach maximum revolutions, the following transmission will be turned on automatically.

The Xtronic Variator in Kashka is also good. He was adjusted in accordance with Multitronic from the Audi brand, which is now the leader in this area. At the same time, Japanese engineers argue that they even turned out to overtake the Germans. The machine imitates the functioning of seven-step hydrotransformer automatic box Shift. You can notice the switch during an aggressive ride style. Manual mode is also available.

Suspension

If you choose Nissan Cascazy or Sportage, then you should immediately say that a structurally suspension is practically not different here - it is a rear multi-type system, as well as a McPherson-type rack in front.

Both cars have both front and four-wheel drive. That's just Kashkai is electromagnetic, and in Kia - electro-hydraulic. Nevertheless, somewhat different settings, so that the car behaves differently on the road.

It is immediately felt that Nissan became tougher. As a result, both passengers and the driver will no longer feel different vibrations in the event of travel by potholes. Nevertheless, there are no rolls during turns, and the machine reacts to the driver's actions is much faster and efficient. Undoubtedly, brake mechanisms are pleased.

At the opposite situation here at Kia. As already mentioned, the car is positioned as a family crossover. As a result, the suspension absorbs almost all road irregularities. There is no excess informative in control, although steering Sure enough - only 3 turns from the stop until the stop.

But there are also cons - on the corners of the body a little shakes.

Exclusivity of interior

Both cars look quite stylish. We will not talk about the design for a long time - to understand everything, you need to inspect the salon yourself. We emphasize only that Kia is made in Korean style, while Cascai is more European cars.

In addition, the Japanese vehicle is characterized by a more informative dashboard. In general, if choose Nissan Cascai or Kiya Sportyj According to the cabin, the interior here practically does not have weaknesses.

As a result, we can say that both of these crossovers are good enough. At the same time, Nissan's cost begins with 979 thousand rubles. against 1074 thousand rubles, which will have to pay for the basic kia setting. A similar situation is observed with top complete sets (1.5 million in Cascais and 1.65 million rubles. At Sportage).

Video Nissan Cascai against Kia Sportage: What to choose, you decide:

Choosing a future car - the task is not easy. The buyer always has to compare several brands and models located in one price category or similar by parameters. In order to make this task easier, we picked up two relatively similar machines: Nissan Qashqai VS Kia Sportage - and decided to help you compare them.

Price and quality

If the KIA Sportage 2008 release has a relatively low cost, then comparing Kia Sportage VS Auto Nissan Qashqai 2016-2017, you can make an unequivocal conclusion that Kia is more expensive, but the new Casca may offer ricar design. In the middle configuration, the car has leather seats, wide list additional equipment, There is a heating of the front glass. Kia does not have such additions, but wins from a full-fledged parking system. Nissan can boast a circular survey system, which is not from a competitor.

The basic version of Kia has heated rear seatmaking a car comfortable for passengers in the cold season. If you want a leather interior, you will have to acquire a top version of the car.

Four-wheel drive

Comparing cars, the buyer will be interested to know about the presence of a full drive system, because it is planned to use Nissan Casca or Auto Kia Sportage, not only in urban conditions. Running forward, it is worth noting that both crossovers are little suitable for use on off-road. Maximum, with which they can handle, is the dirt road to the country. However, Cascai has a special coupling that can block electronic devices and create imitation of work inter-axis differential. Rear wheel drive connected, so the machine can move in the sand, shallow loose soil, climb on the border.

Pay special attention to the fact that it is forbidden to turn on the coupling on the go or at uneven wheels, it may remove the car. Such a breakdown will not be fixed under warranty.

Sportage finds greater endurance and simplicity of design, cliented car small, only 167 mm, so expect high passability Do not. The imitation of the differential blocking is not provided. If you roll onto the forest road, it will not always be possible to go through it. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the transmission is inclined to overheat during long-term use on a slippery road. Four-wheel drive Connected.

Comparative Test According to the controllability of Kia Sportyj or Nissan Kashkai gives approximately the same results. You can learn more about this in more detail.

Comparison of basic characteristics

Cascai and Sportyj have similar technical data.

Fuel consumption is approximately the same, with a mixed cycle, it is about 10 liters. The volume of the engine of both cars is close to 2 liters, power 155 liters. from. Kia and 144 in Kashka. Both cars work on AI95, box kia gear 5-speed, has short transmissions. The first 4 are convenient in the city, the fifth to turn on can usually only on the track. The couch 6-speed box, which is not very convenient to use in the urban stream, has often to switch. In terms of dimensions, cars are almost no different, Kia is a little more.

Interior features

The future owner, choosing, which is better, must be recorded on the test drive of candidates, appreciating which car is more suitable for comfort.

Nissan is characterized by soft front chairs, which is convenient when using cars in the city, but during long journeys begins to tire, I want to change the position of the body. Passenger support is present. The devices have an attractive appearance, differ in ergonomics, the backlight is not annoying, has white color and brightness settings, convenient to the display of the side computer. Camera signals are displayed on the multimedia system screen. Conveniently located system of blowing.

In comparison with KIA, Nissan can be called more convenient. The driver's seat Sportage is tougher, the form is not optimal, although there is side support. Leather version slippery, skin quality is lower than a competitor. The dashboard looks interesting, has large dials, a convenient display of the multimedia system, located at an acceptable height.

Exterior decoration

Comparable cars have similar design. The geometry of the body is similar, significant differences are in front optics, the appearance of the radiator lattice. Body lines for both cars are smoothed to the trunk, have smooth forms, while the sport design is highlighted. If compare volume luggage compartment, the difference in hundred liters in favor of KIA (530 liters versus 430 in Nissan, respectively). However, Kia has a step standing in the middle of the floor, and Nissan has no, therefore, if you fold the seats, the volume will turn out to be more at Kashka.

IN last years The usual full-sized SUVs buy not so often. Motor enthusiasts entered crossovers. These machines have body dimensions are much more modest and are designed soon to ride on asphalt than off-road. They are usually bright, stylish design, and they are cheaper.

All this is true for nissan crossovers Qashqai and Kia Sportage. They also have original appearance and are aimed at a wide range of consumers. Some consider these cars with competitors. Compare them among yourself to find out what is better to buy? Which car is more suitable for operation in the city? What kind specifications Will they turn out to be more significant? So, "Nissan Kashkai" or "Kia Sportage"?

Interior

Chairs on "Cashki" are almost perfect. They have a pleasant to touch upholstery. Even quite large man can safely fit in them. The driver will be comfortable in them, the back will not get tired even during the many hours.

Cute appliances with an unusual white backlight and the display of the route computer are thrown on the front panel. A large monitor of the multimedia system is immediately visible on the central console. It comes to it from the camcorder of the circular review. The blowing deflectors are located above it, which quickly fill the interior with air of the desired temperature. In other words, the salon of "Nissan Cascai" is comfortable for the driver and passenger in front. But the back will be convenient not all. High people may not have enough space over head and place in front of the legs. Not always enough salon widths, although it compensates for the perfect seats profile.

"Kia" can not boast of comfort. The backrest of the crossover is far from the best shape, the upholstery is slippery and not very pleasant to the touch. Sportage devices are not particularly impressive, but the central console makes it make a look. The large display of the electronic complex is surrounded by interestingly designed elements. The black plastic climate control unit contrasts with a silver console. On both parties - vertical deflectors. All this as a whole leaves a pleasant impression. It is immediately clear that the designers tried to create something original.

Equipment

Despite the "Nissan Cascai" costs cheaper, he will offer to buyers more than that of KIA, a set of additional options that are significantly simplified driving. Even cars in the middle configuration necessarily have heated windows and leather interior, which you will not meet in Kia. But the main thing is what the qashqai wins is so in the equipment of electronics, which facilitates the life of the driver. And although the crossover does not have built-in parking radars, but it has an excellent circular video review system.

Kia Sportage also has its advantages. It is more practical and comfortable. Although the leather interior will be available only in the "top" versions, but there are heating of the rear seats. This will especially appreciate passengers at a minus temperature on the street. The driver and the intelligent electronic system for parking, which estimates the distance literally to the centimeter. According to the reviews of drivers, it turns out to squeeze the car even into the most narrow lumen. The rest of the "Sportage" is equipped with the same set of functions as the usual comparable sedan:

• SD-Magnitol;
• electric drives mirrors rear view and windows;
• climate control;
• rain sensor;
• cruise control;
• bluetooth bond;

In this regard, the advantage is worth paying Kia Sportage. Him more engines and gamma their wider, while "Casca" is able to offer customers only two 16-valve gasoline motor. In the Arsenal, "Kia", except for a two-liter atmospheric unit, there are a couple of turbo diesel engines, and in Russian realities it is important. But despite the fact that in this indicator the victory is to award "Sportage", "Nissan" proved that in Russian automotive market You can succeed even without diesel engines.

Patency

By how these crossovers overcome off-road, there is no point in comparing them among themselves. They are both suitable for riding in urban conditions or on good country tracks. Outside the asphalt canvas, they will stop any little serious obstacle. Although Nissan Cascai is arranged in this regard a little better. You can turn off the electronics and the coupling that connects rear drive, hard block all the mechanism. So it turn out to simulate the work of the mid-scene differential. The driver will help to cope with the driving on the sand, with a strong ice, or if you need to climb the curb. True there is one "but". You need to use the coupling. For example, it cannot be turned on when the car moves, or the steering wheel is turned to the side. Otherwise, the coupling will fail, and on the service failure does not recognize such that it falls under warranty repairs.

Fare of Nissan by off-road

Kia Sportage in this regard is arranged simpler, he has smaller clearance (16.7 cm against 20.0 cm in Nissan) Therefore, the permeability of him will also be a little worse. The system of imitation of the blocking of the inter-axis differential does not have, so it is necessary to move on it from the asphalt on the blurring country road It will be imprudent. But it stands on it a more enduring and reliable transmission from Magna Steyr.

Body Dimensions and Reliability

According to these parameters, the machine is almost equal. Length "Cascaia" - 4 377 mm, and "KIA" - 4,400 mm. Approximately the same equal indicators in crossovers in width and height. They differ significantly road clearance. Nissan has a clearance significantly more - 20.0 cm against 16.7 cm in "Sportykha", so it is easier overcoming obstacles. If you have to, for example, climb the border. As noted by autoslese, similar to Sportage and Qashqai and in the reliability of the bodies.

Trunk.

With the usual position of the back of the rear seat, the ability to transport overall loads from "Nissan" leaves much to be desired. The volume of the trunk is only 430 liters. But after folding the sofa, the cargo compartment immediately increases to 1.5 cubic meters. At the "Sporttka", the opposite is the opposite. With the normal position of the seats, the trunk volume will be 530 liters. But after lowering planting Rear, the size of the cargo compartment will increase only to 1.3 cubic meters. m.

Dynamics and fuel consumption

Tests showed that cars are very different tempers. "Nissan" accelerates much faster. It is easier, plus its six-speed transmission has short transmissions. Although it is not always convenient, because you have to constantly switch. Some drivers tires it.

Kia Sportage loses on dynamics. It is heavier, and the five-speed transmission is designed more of economy than sharp accelerations and quick start from traffic lights. But this economy is often not obtained. For comparative test drive Kia Sportttej has spent 100 km of mileage by 0.8 l fuel more than "Nissan Casca". Justice should be noted that the sports style driving in the city with frequent accelerations suggests that gasoline consumption and the Japanese crossover will also be rather big, within 10-11 liters. So, according to fuel consumption, both cars are almost identical. The fuel tanks also have almost the same capacity.

Suspension and handling

On previous models, Nissan engineers put a frankly harsh suspension, which was needed for more aggressive driving. But now this feature has become much smaller. Moving along a flat highway, the car practically does not disturb passengers. It reacts well to the slightest steering movements and does not give rolls on turns. But "Casca" is sharply transformed, it is only for him to go on a bad road. Instead of collens and balance, shame appears. Comfort for passengers falls. The steering wheel begins to jump out of the driver's hands, the car is trying to get down from the course, it becomes difficult to keep it on the track.

Kia has the suspension even tougher. In the cabin passengers feel the slightest hole, including road hatches, at least a little protruding over the asphalt. But there is a "sporting" and dignity. The steering wheel does not transmit the beat, the car is firmly scheduled to the course. It is believed that among these two cars, to identify the winner for this component as handling is impossible.

What to choose

Each car has its pros and cons. Before you choose your choice on Sportage or Qashqai, it is worth declaring that it is in priority. At the lower cost of "Casca" has bEST HOME And more comfortable chairs. It will help the owner on a light off-road, whereas at Kia Sportage, it is recommended not to move from asphalt at all. But the latter has a more spacious salon, a wide selection of engines, it is easier for them to manage on the road with irregularities. No wonder the manufacturers are positioning Kia Sportage as a family car. The rest of the crossovers are very similar.
