Nissan Almera against Polo Sedan. What is better than Nissan Almera or Volkswagen Polo

In his myths, the ancient Greeks talked about the creature, having a head of a lion, a goat torso and a snake instead of a tail. "The winged chimera was born with tiny creature. At the same time, she glittered the beauty of Argus and terrified the deformity of satire. It was a monster of monsters. " The word "chimer" also has a figurative meaning. They call the idea that can not be realized in reality. Not from such reasons appeared the idea of \u200b\u200bbuilding spacious, safe, non-configured cars with a modest budget?

Choirs of beauty

When communicating with "Solaris", not myths are remembered, but the novel lem-elected romance telling about the intelligent ocean. The car looks harmonious, which is perhaps even an exception in the class of compact sedans. During the detailed acquaintance, you can also be convinced of its intelligence. It is immediately felt convenience that in its plate, thanks to the usual Japanese light control scheme, logical control of the stove and music. Its V-shaped console, which harmoniously flows into the front panel, is able to raise the mood.

Test Drive Hyundai Solaris:

However, it can be seen and cons. High-growth people begin to complain about: after several shattered rides, there are sometimes moving the seat and change the back of the back. In addition, it does not get adjusting the steering wheel on the corner.

Compared with Solyaris, "Nisan" is huge, even despite the black slim color. The interior does not leave anyone indifferent. "Nissan", on the one hand, is quite large-scale. Overview in large outer mirrors is pretty good. The driver's seat, having a huge range of longitudinal adjustment, will have to do with even a 2-meter person. In the frosty December days, the salon warms up very quickly, while the glass does not measure (unlike the "Solaris"). Thanks to say Russian stove and improved ventilation from behind.

Hyundai Solaris - Sedan, who conquered many motorists

However, such a budget salon, which is firmly associated with "Logan", does not fit solid. Although such an opinion of some experts may be subjective. However, objective claims are also present. I want to slightly move the steering wheel, but this adjustment is not present in any configuration. Due to one-sided becomes so hot that it seems as if you are in Siberia in a cabriolet.

The rest of the minuses include the lack of designation on the key on the central castle; Many space on the door armrests for the windows buttons, however they are sitting on the console. In addition, the mirror adjustment is also on a rather unsuccessful place, namely, between seats. In addition, you will have to learn aimingly signal, because you can immediately not always get into the end of the steering wheel lever on the left.

There are also flaws that relate, rather, precisely to a specific copy: Srip right front seats, as well as at -20С, windows are hardly released glass, and only for a second they raise them per second.

Volkswagen. Polo Sedan. — inexpensive car With the quality of Volkswagen.

The design, exterior and the interior of "Volkswagen" is quite restrained. The "Polo" model is finished with cold and humid plastic. However, how often do we have to knock on the details of the interior? It is much more important to sit in a convenient driver's seat and, which is regulated in two planes. In addition, it will be worthwhile to be visual indexing buttons. Very nice to rotate the regulators. All this contributes to the appearance of a sense of quality. For this not a pity to pay. The only thing - the outer mirrors could be made a little more and the climate machine is more efficient.

Great peace

Now let's talk about comfort and practicality. Somehow had to manage the "Solaris" having the first. There were complaints to rock rear axis At high speeds. Springs and shock absorbers with other properties have improved the situation. The sedan rides gently, not tired by the recalculation of the joints and does not train along the rut. However, the tire rolling noise remains quite annoying.

But "Almer" - already a different level! It has a combination of excellent smoothness with. Perhaps it is not easy to force the "almera" to close during the course. The effect is even more enhanced by silent work. It is necessary to let go of the pedal to come silence, because the car is characterized by excellent sound and vibration insulation of the wheeled arches and the bottom. However, in the case of an assertive overclocking, the motor begins to vote loudly, and at high speeds there are aerodynamic noises.

Test Drive Volkswagen Polo:

To rush to the "polo" sad ... After "Nissan". The car moves hard, passing everything that was able to spit with the wheels on the steering wheel and body. To identify the noise dominant is not possible, since the tires and the engine are singing together.

Passengers of "Solaris" are quite good if there are two adults of mid-growth man in the back, since the threesome are no longer very. High passengers have to be written by knees of the backrest of the front chairs, and the head is the ceiling.

That is why on this background clearly wins the "almer" with truly Russian expanses! On the back chairs are able to safely accommodate even 3 adult men in winter things. At the same time, not to get to the front armchairs, does not press the ceiling, it is very convenient to enter and go beyond the wide opening of the door and the solid angle of swinging "wicket".

Nissan Almera - a car intended for Russian expanses

"Polo" acts the same way as "Solaris" - 5 people fit into it with difficulty. And due to the massive tunnel on the floor, the life of the average passenger can spoil. However, the slope of the sofa pillow is quite successful. It is easier to ride during a long trip, rather than in other cars.

The volume of all three luggage departments coincided to the liter! However, everyone possess the same misfortune - because of bulky loops is difficult to lay large boxes. Nevertheless, the main disappointment is the unawrs of the back of the rear armchair "Nissan".

Power of titans

As mentioned above, "Hyunde" - a completely different car with new suspension. It costs, not frightening inadequate reactions on irregularities. In the okolonul zone steering wheel Emptied, however, after refueling the car in turn, the effort on the rabble is immediately increasing required level. The only one is a rather coarse demolition with a steep effect can be considered a moveton. The most pleasant in this car is the engine tandem and transmission. It creates the feeling that the engine in principle will never stall. He pulls almost with idle, pleases the gearbox due to the clarity of the inclusions, and the right pedal quickly responds to pressing it.

"Almer" also starts easily. Wide boxes do not spoil the switch at all. In addition, in the transmission itself you can get without any problems. A little alarms a small transmission squeak at the highest gear. The engine "Nisan" is enough for optimally, however, "Hyunde" is inferior in speed. In addition, if the gas pedal is not released, then it turns out such average flowthat mom does not burn (up to 13.8 l per 100 km)! In addition, Nissan does not like active ride. Due to the "long" steering wheel, the presence of rolls, the absence of a stabilization system Sports style driving is not particularly possible.

But "Nissan" will not interfere with any calaims, since it has a powerful and 160 mm of road lumen in the database.

Test Drive Nissan Almera:

If you want to take a little, welcome to ""! It is characterized by a pleasantly poured feedback with a steering wheel and a light tendency to drift on the maximum turn. At the same time it is easy to keep under control. However, Polo has a stretched clutch and requiring a delicate treatment of a gaspped gas pedal.

RESULTS

How can I call a chimera sedan? Nobody! All three cars offer a lot of ruble.

There is a reason to return to such tests once again, since something freshly appears in them.

Good day, dear readers!

I am a reader of this resource about a couple of years, now it prepared to write a review about Almers. Driving experience since 1998, cars during this time were different (Tavria, VAZ2105, Toyota Karina, Nexia, Renault Kangu, Priora + Sometimes I go on the cars of parents / relatives), I do not buy cars on credit, guided by the principle of "ride it is necessary for money" .

Of course, all the following IMHO, argue and impose his point of view, does not intend to anyone))

Strengths:

Weak sides:

Good day.

I will start with the fact that I began to look closely at this model in October 2013. For the first time she saw in the ads of the car dealership. Externally, I really liked the car and liked its price compared to other brands of the car of the same class. Although class B, in which it was determined, I am not very clear. Having considered its dimensions, I would attribute it to the class between C and D.

In March, I have already finally decided to acquire a new car. Taking the spouse and son for 3 years we went to the car dealership. Seeing her alive and sneaking inside, I realized that this is the car we need. Externally, it is very beautiful (blue metallic), the package of Tekne automatic transmission, a spacious interior, I really liked the car. I traveled for many cars, including Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry with volumes of 3.5, but I decided to take this car for the family, for travel around the city and the city. I want to say that I did not use a test drive, since I read the reviews and trusting the image immediately bought it.

Strengths:

• Very spacious salon
• Gorgeous appearance
• Noise isolation at the level
• A good stove very quickly heats the glass
• Good clearance
• Big trunk
• Backlight devices
• Light halogen lamps at level
• Practically smooth floor for rear passengers
• Nissan Connect System with Navigation, Bluetooth
• Relatively low cost compared to other cars
• Conder works well
• Full size
• Warranty and good service Nissan
• The brakes are impressive even considering the fact that the rear drum stops almost instantly

Weak sides:

• In principle, they are not, the only location of the auto glass buttons, mirrors, signal, just need to get used to them when it comes to automatism, I think it will all disappear. Plastic seems to be hard, but at the same time it does not annoy, because almost you do not touch him

Feedback Nissan Almera 1.6i (Nissan Almer) 2013 Part 3

Well, now I feel like that of the wheel!

He left the cabin and quickly got used to the car (there were no problems with it).

In the city of dynamics and speeds. Lying slips easily on any adequate speed. Of course, I try to slow down to the minimum speed so as not to torment the suspension. But if you were satisfied, it is not scary, the suspension will endure. So far at speeds in completely ambush places, but I think it will endure.

Feedback Nissan Almera 1.6i (Nissan Almer) 2013

In September, in the cabin, left a deposit in 15tr to Almera (chose a color and complete set), in October (previously promised) got a car. Cost 563r. I wanted to get a fully prepared and equipped car, so most of the specials installed in the cabin, realizing that it would be more expensive !!! What dopa acquired: the hood deflector, 4 windows deflectors, automatic transformation, Immobilizer bypass, ashtray, rear liners (as the front goes in the standard), front armrest, alarm siren, car alarm Starline A92 with autorun, Aviline Parking System 4 sensors, rugs + pallet in the trunk (by the way is not bad), toning according to GOST. It cost everything in 75r. Casco (with a remote settlement) and the siege of another 40 minutes. And that is 678r. Once again I will say that I walked to it realize and knew that the installation of specials in the cabin is more expensive!

Well, let's right about breakdowns! If this breakdown can be called a breakdown ...))) For 10,000 km, the mileage burned the front dimension light, on it ...)))

Now about how I chose this device. For the first time, when I saw this typewriter on TV, I did not specifically like it! Live she knew a lot better, looking at what color. Although the taste and color, as they say ... It is even in the picture, it is not as good as well as live! Since in Moscow they are not so much more, everyone who see her first time think that this is Tian ... What I chose and what cars I considered.C. hevrolet Cobalti, and even CrUZE, WOLCHVAGEN POLO Sedan, H Yundai Solaris and Kia Rio that in principle the same thing came to the salonsP eugeot and c iTROEN and just lastNissan Almera. . Since there was a ride experienceReno L Ogan chose Nissan Almera and did not regret it.

Strengths:

• It looks quite solid
• Reliable and proven aggregates, and well balanced
• Spacious salon
• Impenetable and sufficiently comfortable suspension
• Cheap service
• It behaves well on the road, but does not really like a deep rut (I have a standard tires and I took for the winter standard sizes separately in the revocation)
• Good noise insulation for this class of cars
• Visibility and mirrors, but not visibility in the rear window
• Large trunk 500 liters (two boxes are large enough + rubber 4 pieces 15 without problems)
• Good standard music, taking into account the class and the price of the car (I do without navigation)
• Good headlights and lights
• I like my wife, and the mother's horns on the headlights ...)))

Weak sides:

• A little higher clearance
• Steering wheel adjustment (not critical)
• Adjusting the back is not a wheel, but a lever
• At least hatch in the back back of the seating for long cargo

It seems to be all if I remember, I will write in the recall ...

Earlier I wrote about + and - not being the owner, I purchased, exploit and now I am already typing the text in another capacity ...
About poles:
1) Large sedan, for acceptable money and writings
2) In his class, perhaps the most spacious.
3) Fortress and simplicity of nodes and units internal from Renault and external Japanese appearance from Nissan.
4) Not roads in maintenance, content. Bypass, consumables in any auto shop. I essentially one to one from Largus ...
5) K4M engine, simple, reliable, with a big guide and lack of a phase management.
6) Simple, strong, well adapted suspension for our roads.
7) Excellent overview for rearview mirrors.
8) Clearance decent clearance in 160 mm. And no suspension element this clearance destroys.
9) Great trunk, folding the backs of the back of the rear row increases it even more.
10) Very good front optics light.
"Russian Almer" is one of the most common sedans from working in a taxi, thanks to the summation of the above pluses and the presence of the K4M engine, which without any manipulations, is caught up to 500 thousand km, then the replacement of the rings, the glands and again into battle!

1) The K4M engine was designed in those times when the engineer thought about reliability and long-lasting motors. When the cast iron block, the simplicity of the design, hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Prague to Cap.Rimonta! But, attention to the timing unit, the planned replacement of the toothed belt + rollers every 60 thousand km. Or every four years, depending on, which will come earlier. It is 12,000,000 km. I will cry out the replacement of the pump, as well as the belt of the streaming and rollers to it.
2) Constructive feature of the valve cover. Routged with small bolts and performs the function of a single bugel for camshafts.
3) Weak motor tightness. You can hilt the valve lid and the place of contact of the oil separator to the valve lid
4) on sedans with MCPP control over the state of the left front drive For the presence of foaming of the anther and the possible leaking of transmission fluid. Construction like Renault Logan!
5) DP2 automatic transmission is afraid of: polluted transmission oil, long-term driving at elevated speeds, slipping. Clone to overheating. Primes of minus T began to warm up. Taking the movement not to give high revolutions Initially. There are solenoids from standing, first of all the solenoid of linear oil pressure in the automatic transmission suffers.
6) Not an important review in the rearview mirror.

So far without interventions!
Planned replacement motor oil -Elf Evolution 900 SXR with a viscosity of 5W30, recommended for Renault motors data oil filter -Mann 75/3.
In the close future, the replacement of the air filter is all the same MANN 1858/2 and the filter of the salon.
If the ascetic interior does not fall down, I recommend this sedan to the acquisition! For those who do not practice aggressive ride, who needs a car for everyday, without problem operation and wishes to keep their family budget spending earned funds not on iron, but for more significant, fundamental needs!
All good!

Alone hard to win. Especially, if you confront such a powerful automotive power like Germany. Pedantism and attentiveness to the trifles raised from birth in German families, after a couple of decades, they become permanent traits of each "Teutonz".

The French, who understand that they independently do not even pull out a draw in the confrontation between Logan and Sedana Volkswagen Polo, decided to go to the alliance with the famous ancient car concern from the rising sun - Nissan. Two major union connected in the Union positive sides Future cooperation: Japanese unshakable reliability and modern French exterior design and interior decoration of the car.

As a result of Franco-Japanese cooperation, Nissan Almera was born - a significant 1995 year. More than 15 years, the model wandered over European markets under various names, until finally, did not get to the Russian consumer.

The assembly of the car in 2012 was engaged in our famous AvtoVAZ from Tolyatti. As a basis, the 2005 model was taken - Nissan Bloumberd Silphi, which was designed on the platform B0 - Votchin of the French car industry. In the spring of 2013, the "Franco-Japanese" with the Russian "Propean" put on flow.

Last year, Asian patched: changed a bit of appearance, refreshing the interior and prof-paragraph podcast space. In the salons from official dealers basic equipment "Welcome" appeared with the price tag at half a million rubles (of course, on a special offer *).

The special price "fell" and to "Basica" from Wolfsburg, more precisely with kaluga Plant.. Volkswagen Polo in the body sedan on the recycling program now costs 508 900 rubles. A little more expensive than the Japanese, but the difference is not so tangible.

The appearance of a new-fifth generation of Volkswagen Polo, the main crown of the German automotive industry, was marked by the Geneva Motor Show in 2009. The efforts of Walter de Silva - the main designer designed exterior appearance "German," did not disappear - the novelty was recognized " Best car 2010. "

With access to the European market of an excellent German sedan in wide circles, they immediately spoke about the Russian version of the car. Rumors were confirmed in the spring of 2010, when journalists on a closed show demonstrated the first copy of the new car. An agreement with Kaluga was instantly concluded automotive factoryAnd since the autumn of 2010, an intensive assembly of new polo began.

Everywhere in all sources began to appear the same information that Volkswagen Polo passed a complete adaptation to the Russian operational conditions: the Germans revised the technology of the suspension, added a variety of electronic functions for comfortable movement in cold weather, "pumping" the engine, raised clearance and etc. The Germans really tried, but in fact it turned out worse than expected. Rear suspension Not only is harsh, it is still located low - with full loading of the cabin, it will not be difficult for it. From the heating options in the base version, it is only available - that's all the preparations for the climatic conditions of Russia.

An attempt is not torture, but apparently, German experts tested the "German" on other roads. For sure not to our. In principle, Japanese and French specialists russian expensive Could dream only in the very nightlife. The result on the face: the pendant of the "state employee" is low on the ground level, the clearance is even less than that of a competitor from Kaluga - 160 mm, and in winter to warm up to warm up, you will have to pay a dealer for heating the front seats - only all heating options are available in basic equipment. Thread of incandescent on the rear window.

Highway dirt on both models of the opposing sides, you can go to positive qualities. Who is better: Togliatti "Samurai" or Kaluga "Pedant-German"?

Comparison of car exteriors

In terms of Exterrier, the Japanese designers appeared most of all. In the Asian sedan, a phantasmagoric image of the fireless dragon from popular Japanese folk fairy tales is fastened. The catchy head optics of the wrong shape immediately attracts attention, inspiring the immense fear of the winged creation. This acts on the subconscious of the bright undisguised aggression of the monsters. And so that the effect does not fade, glitters in the rays of the sun, overflowing chromed chromium chromium chromium, the radiator grille, a hypnotizing view of the victim. Finally, the image of the fierce lizard plastic mesh air intake is completed. It improves the aerodynamics, and. And then how the flame breathes! It will not seem little.

In the other details, we appear quite standard sedan. Fog lights - Ordinary round "wells" of light. Wheel arches are "gray" everyday niches for installing 14-inch discs, which are changed in 15-inch alloy fixtures. endowed with chrome coated - a pleasant little plusion from japanese manufacturers. On the doors, traditional firewalls at the top and along the thresholds are a small hint of the developed dynamics of the car. Roof line - a smooth bend-wave is not much different from the standards of any sedan.

Yet over the feed, too, worked - all the backs are slightly raised. Still, classic sedans have no such waste from the reference. Rear end It looks stylish due to the lanterns, each of which is divided by the door of the trunk. The shape of the plafone resembles the harvested eyes, slyly looking at the pursuers.

The size of the body of Nissan Almera fascinate: for the "state employee" just perfect dimensions. "Tolyattinets" is thoughtlessly smashes Kaluga "German" in length and height: 4656 and 1522 mm against 4390 and 1467 mm, respectively. In the width of large differences, there are no: both models "spread" almost to 1.7 m. The "Franco-Japanese" wheel base due to the large length of the car exceeds the Volkswagen Polo parameter by 15 cm.

Many people like the simple casual forms of Volkswagen Polo: a small, but elegant radiator grille, perfectly verified lines of the hood and other surfaces of the car, standard front headlights (as well as rear lights), long strips of sending along the sides, and feed is a capital truth that follows Most of the classic sedans of the new generation.

However, from a practical point of view, "German" still loses to the Japanese "samurai". The overwhelming dimensions of Nissan Almera and a large wheelbase - due to these parameters, the palm of championship is rightfully moving to the Japanese mill. But what is happening inside the car?

Interior and engine engines

In the salon of the fans of the Asian concern, disappointment is waiting: they wanted to ride in the Japanese "Japan", and in the end the image of French Logan. The same plastic three-spoke steering wheel, followed by the "tidy" with a disgusting orange monochrome screen in the center and one indicator of turn signs. on a subwoofer? Why move the windows control buttons to the central console? Why copy the shape and design of deflectors with the "Frenchman"?

Is the Japanese really have an imagination at all? Is that in the top versions: on the central panel, it is noted. Such quality can be found in the "senior" models of the Japanese concern like "Beetle" or "Cascai". The pros will be attributed to the comfort of chairs. With a high back and some kind of lateral support, slightly harsh, but happens and worse. The rear sofa is spacious: the legs will not push, as well as the shoulders of the three passengers of the standard physique. Materials are so-so in quality, but the fit is made by masterfully. The trunk is huge - 500 liters of free space. Unfortunately, the backs of the back chairs are not folded, and it will not extend the place.

Volkswagen Polo Volume luggage compartment It is 460 liters, but it is complemented by the expanses of the rear passenger seats - here the backs are folded in the ratio of 60:40. "German" wins a competitor from Asia in many respects. Simple design external view The sedan is easily moving into the cabin car. Here, the same Spartan spirit rules. All items are made with German accuracy and incredible level of ergonomics. Neither the Germans did not use anyone - they worked on themselves. Materials, by the way, is better than in the Japanese Salon: at least it looks not so cheap.

Sitting in a driver's seat is more pleasant than on Nissan Almera. It is a denser with a long pillow and very tangible lateral support. Despite the solid loss in size, the polo salon is not close in the Volkswagen salon. In the back seat can easily accommodate three passengers. The only drawback is not enough places in the legs: after all, the wheelbase is not like on a Franco-Japanese sedan.

Obvious "Haltury" from the Japanese did not roll: copy the Logan interior is a bad idea. Therefore, in the salon equipment, the polo sedan is an explicit leader. It remains to find out who is better in technical terms. The last characteristic that will reveal the winner in the competition.

The Japanese manufacturer equips all the configuration of Almers with a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder "atmospheric" DOHC, which produces 102 hp. at 5750 rpm. The maximum torque is 145 nm. The motor works in a pair with two transmissions - 5-speed "mechanics" or automatic gearbox on 4 bands.

The German company has developed a 1,6-liter 4-cylinder unit for the polo sedan. At the basic 85-strong engine, the torque reaches 145 nm, which provides overclocking to "hundreds" in 12 seconds. But the older version has a 105-strong motor with a torque in 153 nm - the indicator is much better - 10.5 seconds. And he surpasses the dynamics of overclocking the Japanese sedan, in which the coefficient is equal to 11 seconds with the "tail". Engines are controlled by two types of transmissions: 5-range mechanical gearbox and 6-speed "automatic".

The indicators say for themselves - in an unequal struggle, the Kaluga "Spartan" will defeat. "German" is more expensive than the representative of the country of the rising sun, but the difference is hardly distinguishable. Street and more dynamic looks japanese sedan.But his competitor has a weighty advantage in the salon "stuffing". Strict classic I. good quality Finishes pull the blanket on themselves, leaving the "samurai warrior" with nothing. The only privileges of the Asian - large body size are leveled by the high-class Ergonomics of the "Europeans".

What is better: classic or modern to solve you.

A year ago they had almost equal number of fans. But today's situation looks different. Even in a serious reduction automotive market Volkswagen Polo managed to grow sales, but the results of Nissan Almera became significantly lower. Let's try to figure out why!

Both play in the same league of budgetary compact sedans and are kissing in the same buyers, however, the receptions of the audience of each of their own. Yes, in order to save it, these cars were not created with a clean sheet, but they became alterars of ready-made models. Sedan Polo. Roses from a related hatchback, sharpened under a demanding European client. But Almera is at its stuffing closest to the promotion and proven time. They have a common platform power units, not to mention the design of the cabin, which we had the opportunity to see another 12 years ago. And although it is formally alternatively for 9 nods younger than its donor, she is in no hurry to get rid of the assets that went to her, and indeed to change and grow new good. Her arsenal is still consisting of a single 102-strong motor working in a pair with a 5-speed mechanical box Transmissions either with structurally simple, but not the smoother and economical 4-band automatic machine of the DP series. In the list of equipment - a pair of front airbags, ABS, air conditioning, 15-inch alloy wheels, 4 electrical windows, heated front seats and exterior mirrors, Nissan Connect multimedia system with navigation, leather steering - This is the maximum that Almera can offer. It is a pity that parking sensors who would not interfere with this sedan, alas, as it was not in the list of factory equipment and options, and not.

But the sedan for six years of presence in our market has changed very significantly. After last year's restyling, the car began to look solid, and his salon is more expensive. At the same time, the engines were added in power, and noise insulation in quality. Finally, the list of available equipment was significantly expanded. Now, on the most affordable Volkswagen in the Russian lineup, you can order an advanced multimedia complex RCD 330 with support for Mirror Link technology or bixenon headlights.

It is clear that the price tag exceeding 900 thousand rubles the most charged POLO is strained by the nervous system, but no one makes it get to be caught in full. There is quite informative trendline equipmentwhich, together with the optional air conditioner, costs 632,490 rubles. For a similar set, dealers are asked for 22,000 rubles more. Prices for the most accessible versions of Almera with ACP start with 700,000 rubles. The German sedan is only 4500 rubles more expensive. At the same time, its 6-range automatic works faster and more smoothly. Therefore, in order to maximize the chances of rivals on the road, we chose to compare the version with 5-speed manual boxes.
