City's legends. Nissan Qashqai against Suzuki SX4 and Subaru XV
The ruble ruptiously put the priorities in the C-class crossover segment. Suzuki SX4 and Subaru XV in the past before the latter beat every customer, but today with the localized Nissan Qashqai compete is already much more difficult.
Nissan Qashqai was not the first C-class hatchbeck with a large road lumen, and in his pure, stingy lines did not read dizzying success. Nevertheless, over ten years around the world, more than three million cars were sold. Competitors - Suzuki SX4 and Subaru XV - not so famous, but it does not mean that they have nothing to oppose bestseller.
With change of generations qashqai has become massive and now more like a crossover, and not on passenger hatchback. With the launch of production in St. Petersburg, he began third life - already in the role of one of the most popular cars in the segment. The localized crossover received a suspension adapted to our conditions, with new shock absorbers and an extended rut.
The all-wheel drive hatch SUZUKI SX4 was originally played in the B-class. The next generation has grown in size and imported the first generation: rear rack with a slope, large naive lights, a variator, a walker of switching the full drive modes. It did not work out only to repeat the success - the crossover renamed S-Cross, the situation in the European market did not change dramatically. In Russia, he started well in 2014, but then the collapse of the ruble happened - prices rose, and the delivery of cars stopped.
During that time, while SX4 we had, Suzuki had work on bugs: removed the variator, added the turbo engine and tried to make a car solid. With the latter, the powerful chrome grill "I want to be Prado" and huge headlights seemed to be borrowed from an SUV for a couple of sizes more and unimportant with 16-inch wheels in spacious arches.
Subaru XV is essentially Impreza hatchback, but with an increased to 220 mm lumen and protective body kit. Despite the long nose, it is more than other test participants like an SUV. This is a real exotic in the segment: the opposite motor with horizontally located cylinders, its own transmission. Being the most affordable Subaru brand crossover, he still inferior in popularity to the senior Forester. In 2016, XV transferred restyling and received new chassis settings, and with them the price tag of 1.6 million rubles, which made a crossover even greater exotic.
Qashqai immediately has an abundance of soft plastic, neat fitting details and solid gloss of piano varnish. As well as options - only he has a panoramic hatch in the entire roof and a circular survey chamber. Full navigation learns about traffic jams and instantly recalculate route.
Subaru XV with restyling acquired beautiful inserts with aluminum and piano varnish, but the feeling of quality spoils wide clearances and an uneven line on the skin. The interior of Suzuki SX4 also changed to the better - a soft front panel, modern navigation - but among the test machines, it is the most modest. In the top configuration, the same tissue upholstery of the seats, only with a contrasting seat. Multimedia Subaru offers additional applications, Suzuki is an advanced voice control, but they do not know how to calculate the route.
Nissan Qashqai is wider in the shoulders and surpasses competitors in the size of the wheelbase. In theory, his second row should be the most comfortable and spacious, even additional air ducts. But in fact the sofa pillow is low in comparison with competitors. The height of the ceiling and the reserve of the Nissan foot place corresponds to more compact Suzuki and is inferior to Subaru. The trunk SX4 is Nissanovsky, but if you fold the backs of the rear seats, the Qashqai takes revenge. Suzuki leads to convenience: loading height below, under the floor there is an additional compartment. The most uncomfortable and cramped trunk at the XV - just three hundred and small liters.
Soft wide armchair Nissan Qashqai with adjustment of the lumbar backpage is in question, thick front racks affect visibility, but look reliably, as if emphasizing body strength. In Subaru, the most dense, sports chair, and the review - as in the openwork cockpit of the aircraft. The unspoken seat SX4 is unexpectedly comfortable and cozy, and the landing here is the lowest - the usual passenger hatchback.
Nissan Qashqai accelerates with Lenza - the engine is roasting the engine, the tachometer arrow takes off to the red zone, but at the output is a tight rubber acceleration. SUBARU XV acceleration with second breathing: good pickup at start and one more, but closer to 60 km per hour. The variator here works faster and struggling to resemble the traditional "automatic". Suzuki SX4 gives the impression of the most alive in the top three - due to the turbogue, an outstanding peak moment already at 1500 crankshaft turnover, the rapid reactions of the six-speed ACP and the smallest mass itself.
There is also a passport: SUZUKI overclocking up to 100 km / h occupies 10.2 s, but objectively the dynamics of crossovers differ not so much, for the tenths of a second. QASHQAI is 0.2 with faster than XV. Subjectively, he is the slowest, because of what is abusing the accelerator. What is surprising, a fine for the speed came only on this car.
The Nissan crossover turned out to be the most voracious: in traffic jams, gasoline consumption grew up to 11 liters. Subaru with an atmospheric oppository with a similar mass and capacity was more economical. The smallest appetite demonstrated the Turbo engine Suzuki: about 10 liters, according to the readings of the onboard computer.
All-wheel drive transmissions of crossover are approximately the same: the rear axle is connected automatically a multi-disc clutch. The difference is hidden mainly in the settings and additional modes. Qashqai Turn the washer can be made front-wheel drive - saving fuel for it is most relevant. Lock mode is designed for off-road - up to 40 km / h The thrust will be distributed between the axes equally.
SX4 clutch can also be forcibly blocking, but only for this Suzuki has special modes "Snow" and "Sport". In the first case, the motor is smoothly responded with gas, and the electronics transmits more than the moment. In the second, the coupling works with a preload, the accelerator becomes sharper, and the stabilization system is weakened.
Subaru does not allow interference with the full drive system - the electronics itself distributes the craving between the axes. A multidisk coupling in XV is packed in one crankcase with a transmission and therefore is not afraid of overheating on off-road. In theory, Subaru should be the most driver and sports, but no special modes are provided here.
The character of Qashqai The most peaceful and urban - even the sports mode of the electric powerful only clamp the steering wheel without adding feedback. The stabilization system is set to maximum safety and rigidly stops any hint of slide. It is even strange that it is completely disconnected. The suspension of the Russian version was adapted to poor roads, but still it is harshly passes pit and ice growths. In principle, for the sake of smoothness, it was possible to refuse to deal with rolls and make a crossover still softer.
Subaru XV demonstrates rally genes: it has the most acute steering wheel and the most comfortable pendant on the primer. But you will not go to all subarovsk stars: the supervision of strict electronics can only be loosen, but it is completely not turned off. Suzuki SX4 in Sport mode willingly and predictably rides sideways. Thanks to the thick tires, the car gently works out the pit, but for the same reason for its reaction in sharpness is inferior to Subaru. Clearance at the crossover is the smallest among cars in the test, and the four-wheel drive is combined with a semi-dependent beam behind.
The main trump card is Nissan Qashqai - the Russian assembly, which allowed to adjust prices. And the rich choice of options, among which there is even a diesel. The simplest crossover with a 1.2 liter gasoline turbo turbo engine, "mechanics" and front-wheel drive will cost one million rubles with a small one. A two-liter version with a full drive and the variator is already from 1.5 to 1.74 million rubles.
Impressions from aother acquaintance with the heroes of the test drive and the findings of experts "driving" read by.
Below is the manufacturers and other important technical information, as well as the results of the test of crossovers on roller platforms.
Running on the spot
To evaluate the work of a full drive, we not only leave for off-road, but also driving cars on.
The first task - crossovers should be removed from two platforms installed under the front wheels. The whole Trinity coped with this in the blink of an eye.
The second stage is "Diagonal". We put the platform on one front wheel and under the opposite rear. The first to "projectile" is suitable for Suzuki SX4 - and confidently performs an exercise. Next comes by Nissan Qashqai. Immediately cope with the task was not possible - only after the compulsory blocking of the coupling, he managed to move from the platforms. And Mitsubishi ASX - at least with blocking, at least without it - the real estate remains: the wheels standing on the asphalt were not transmitted at all. Moreover, after 10 seconds, the slip was lit a notification of transmissions overheating.
The final test - when the land concerns only one wheel - no crossover could not stand.
Outcome: Suzuki SX4 - First place, Nissan Qashqai - second place, Mitsubishi ASX - third place.
Diagonal hanging is not an insurmountable obstacle for the couch. It generally allows more than SX4: squeezing the move the suspension, clearance - 175 mm. He is still a beveled front bumper, and it would be quite good.
Here on ASX with an angle of entry of 21.5 °, you can boldly forcing a complex relief, although the clearance is the same 175 mm. But with good deposits "Mitz" not a fighter: the eclifronics does not imitate the blocking of differentials, with a diagonal hanging, the machine is helplessly freezing.

Nissan Qashqai. Price: 1 612 000 r. On sale: since 2015
Suzuki Vitara. Price: 1 459 000 r. On sale: since 2015
A couple of months ago, we compared the Suzuki Vitara with Renault Duster, and in this duel won the "Vitara", the cost of which was almost one and a half times higher than that of a competitor! Now the conditions of the comparative test are even more intriguing. Unlike frankly budget "Duster", "Vitara" and "Kashkai" play in the same price league. Yes, and identical origin of both models makes such a comparison more correct in the eyes of potential buyers.
Although with the origin here is not so easy. So, the Nissan crossover is Japanese only in part - it is built on the same chassis as the new Renault models, and collect it in Russia. With Suzuki, another story: if it is structurally a native "Japanese", then at the place of origin - "Hungarian". However, nor on the quality of assembly, nor on the running characteristics of these "national characteristics" do not affect. But at the price - more like! More precisely, not at the price, but on the fact that the buyer gets for the same money.
And in that and in another case, the car go "on full minced", but this is the filling of this "minced me" quite vary. Preparing his dish, "cookies" from Suzuki was clearly neglected with a serving, saving on the interior decoration. Against the background of excellent seats with a pleasant "suede" tab (doors are decorated with the same material), covered skin of the steering wheel and black glossy inserts "under the piano lacquer", the healing hard plastic front panel looks more than inappropriate. Such a feeling as if in an expensive restaurant you had a cheap garden table. Dashboard with monochrome display - from the same series. Reads well, but looks too "budget."
On this ascetic background, Nissan interiorners staged a real "luxury feast". Leather seats with perforation Here are really leather (at least in the part that is directly in contact with the saddle), and the relief plastic torpedo not only looks soft, but is actually so. After starting the motor on the dashboard, a bright digital ornament scales flashes, and the speedometer arrows and the tachometer make welcome swelling - you will see more often in sports cars, and here is not the most expensive crossover. Pleasantly. It is also nice to see here the color screen of the on-board computer and separate climate control with air ducts for the rear sedes - there is no other.
The fact that "filling" Nissan and tastier, and richer than Suzuki, is already visible outside. The perimeter "Kushka" is literally ticked video cameras. They are not only here on the rear door, but also under the mirrors, and even on the facing of the radiator! The "sense authorities" of the circular review system give the projection of the surrounding space during parking, and also allow you to see what is going on in front of the machine while moving at low speed, which can be useful, for example, on off-road. True, there is one "but": on the screen the picture looks "blurred" even with perfectly clean cameras ...
In general, the QASHQI Media Complex screen is a real pain. What is the sense that you can go to the "Facebook" from it (after connecting the smartphone with the Internet) if its resolution is below the plinth? And a cheap matrix is \u200b\u200bnot all sorrow. The longing brings and the menu of the system, to the development of which they forgot to attract the designer. Thank God that with the electronic part there is an order here - the system will work smartly and without hang. Vitara screen is much more pleasant for both the menu design and permission. Looking at a juicy picture, it is much more convenient to park on Suzuki, even though the camera is only one and marking of the parking area is not dynamic, like Nissan, but static. 
However, for the SUZUKI crossover, this Pirrova Victory. After all, Nissan can still boast of unavailable buyers of "Vitara" by automatic parking systems, tracking on "blind" zones during rebuilding, departure from their strip and controlling the driver's fatigue. But if all of the above in everyday life is extremely rarely used or not used in general, then the presence of heating windshield in the country, where 2/3 of the territory is the eternal Merzlot, give "Casca" a solid coherent to the competitor.
And what about the capacity? After all, the Kashka Wheel Base is 15 cm more than that of Vitara, and the superiority in length reaches 20 cm! Oddly enough, transplancing from one crossover to another, we practically do not feel this difference. It is rather noticeable that the Salon of Nissan is a little wider - additional centimeters (4 small) are felt in the shoulders, but there is no explicit superiority in the reserve of the rear seams. What is the matter? And the case is in the trunk: Nissan is 55 liters more, despite the way, a full-fledged spare wheel fit here. Suzuki in the "scene" of the dance, but the trunk itself with a double bottom is convenient for storing small things.
But if in statics about the advantages or minuses of both models, you can argue with hours, then there is no doubt on the road, which of them is better. No matter how old, no matter how to get the 1.6-liter SUZUKI engine, and to keep up with a 2.0-liter Nissan, it is not forces. And ok, the difference was only in dynamics: "Casca" is more comfortable on the suspension, and in terms of noise in the cabin. The only thing that "Vitara can" "take" a competitor is economy: due to less weight, it is about the liter below. And one more trump card belongs to the gearbox: in general, the 6-speed SUZUKI machine behaves anything no better than the Nissan variator, but for those buyers who do not feed the love for stepless boxes, its presence is a weighty argument.
Paters
From the point of view of passability, the design of the rear suspension "Kushka" is not the most successful: the attachments of the shock absorbers are located too close to the ground, which increases the chances to catch them for the soil, the roots of trees or stones. With "Vitara" there are no such problems, but then another ambush - the ground clearance is only 18.5 cm.

Optimer devices, like a color display of an on-board computer, read perfectly in any lighting
The full drive system is the same as Renault Duster. In automatic mode, only a slight piece of torque is transferred to the rear axle (when slipping and dynamic acceleration). On severe off-road, the mid-scene coupling can be blocked forcibly

Our verdict
Considering the price and quality of the product, the new Qashqai will have to taste many Russian fans of crossovers. But Vitara sellers will have to spend a lot of strength to find those who wish to evaluate all the piquancy of this is not cheap, but in their interesting car.
Cars are provided by companies: Nissan Qashqai - Mark Autocentre, Suzuki Vitara - "Suzuki Motor Rus".
We compared four crossovers that are among the most affordable on the market. We have two newcomers in the quartet - this is Suzuki New SX4 and Nissan Qashqai. Mitsubishi ASX is not a newcomer, but relatively recently underwent raster. Skoda Yeti, too, after a recent facelifting and confront Japanese Trinity. Yes, it turned out that the honor of European automakers will protect only one representative, and even knowingly the most expensive. Well, the more interesting to know if it makes sense to overpay.
So coincided that our editors decided not to miss a favorable situation in the car market and at the same time choose a car. True, we will negate that we had our criteria when choosing a car, namely: an economical gasoline engine (preferably atmospheric), mechanical gearbox, front-wheel drive, not the poorest equipment. A spacious trunk, as you always have anything.
We were looking for dealers the most accessible versions and it was almost possible. It was especially difficult to comply with equality in choosing motors. Stripping from our "stove" Suzuki New SX4, we started looking for cars with "mechanics" and a 1.6 liter gasoline engine, because the Japanese crossover, alas, is not offered with other motors. Identical couple was able to make only Mitsubishi ASX. In the basic version, it is equipped with a 117-strong 1.6-liter gasoline engine and a five-speed manual transmission. For Nissan Qashqai, the basic motor is a new 1.2-liter turbocharged unit with a capacity of 115 hp, but such a car did not turn out in the test park. I had to be content with a two-liter machine with a variator. Skoda Yeti in the "base" - a 105-strong 1.2-liter turbo engine. But there is another 1.4TSI with a capacity of 123 hp With front-wheel drive and six-speed "mechanics". Here it is and we took the team. Full identity, unfortunately, failed to achieve, but as it is.
Suzuki New SX4 1.6 MT (2WD)
Dimensions (DHSHV) - 4300x1765x1590 mm. Clearance - 180 mm. Trunk - 430/1269 l. Dynamics (0-100 km / h) - 11.0 s. Fuel consumption (average) - 5.4 liters
Argued about appearance is an ungrateful matter. But still say a few words. Qashqai and SX4 are not twin, but there is something similar in their style. Look modern, but pressed. ASX is a fried and shot down, although there is no refinement in it. Rustic. And Yeti is still standing out by unusual proportions. It is a pity that during the restyling, the designers removed unusual round fog, integrated into the upper part of the bumper. However, in the current execution of Skoda looks good, becoming somewhat stricter and solid.
Nissan Qashqai 2.0 at (2WD)
Dimensions (DHSHV) - 4377x1837x1595 mm. Clearance - 200 mm. Trunk - 325/1585 l. Dynamics (0-100 km / h) - 10.1 s. Fuel consumption (average) - 6.9 liters
The biggest and looks, and in size - Nissan Qashqai - 4377 mm. But the most compact was Skoda Yeti - only 4223 mm in length. If you find fault, it could be sent to a battle with subcompact crossovers, such as Opel Mokka. But in fact, everything was mixed not only in the house of the Blond, but also in the class of compact crossovers. Therefore, the same Yeti acts, in fact, immediately in two classes, however, as everyone else. ASX and SX4 are almost a bumper in the bumper - 4295 and 4300 mm, respectively. The size, of course, matters, but we will return to him a little later.
Mitsubishi ASX 1.6 MT (2WD)
Dimensions (DHSHV) - 4295x1770x1615 mm. Clearance - 195 mm. Trunk - 384/1188 l. Dynamics (0-100 km / h) - 11.4 s. Fuel consumption (average) - 6.1 liters
The highest quality interior is Skoda Yeti. Despite some scooter, he is felt as expensive and solid. And it all starts with heavy doors, which close with a deaf slap, as if suiteding to the impact. Immain them rubberized metal handles on the back of the door. Trifle, eloquently indicating attention to detail. Front chairs are the most convenient in the quartet. Rigid, dense, correct shape and with wide adjustment ranges.
Skoda Yeti 1.4 MT (2WD)
Dimensions (DHSHV) - 4223x1793x1691 mm. Clearance - 180 mm. Trunk - 322/1485 l. Dynamics (0-100 km / h) - 10.5 s. Fuel consumption (average) - 6.8 liters
Skoda Yeti steering column is adjusted by departure and angle of inclination. But, conveniently setting around the wheel, you realize that with an optimal landing, a plump bagel of the steering wheel overlaps the top of the instrument panel. And if you raise the steering wheel - you will spoil the landing geometry. As an option - you can lift the chair, adjacent vertically as in the bus. But this is the only ergonomic puncture in the Czech crossover. Otherwise, he does not give reasons to fall.
Despite the shortest wheelbase, Yeti's rear places are convenient. Purchase of foot managed to achieve a vertical boarding of passengers. Armchairs can move forward-back and change the angle of inclination of the back. But due to the high central tunnel, only two passengers will feel comfortable.
Yeti's instrument panel is laconic and informative, you only need to get used to the branded "Chish" of Czechs - Drawn Speedometer and Tachometer Drawn Speedometer. Yeti boasts a large number of seats for storing small things, including glove box on the front panel under the windshield A la Gazelle.
Qashqai pleased with full-fledged door handles, the presence of places for the smallest and peace-loving character of the interior. The instrument panel and looks great, and read at first sight. Especially good small color side computer display. And the graphics are beautiful, and the resolution is high. Despite the pretty low pillow of the rear sofa, it was convenient to sit there. There is enough space for legs, and for the head, and the low central tunnel allows you to get a threesome there.
Among Japanese fellow, the Nissan Qashqai looks most attractive inside. And although it does not have any bright accents, there is nothing embarrassing at the driver's seat, does not interfere. The profile of the chair is not so verified like Yeti, and the side support is missing. But the finish materials are pleasant and in appearance, and to the point. Although the abundance of glossy plastic is somewhat confused. It just attracts dust and fingerprints. Dactyloscope's dream. There were no special ergonomic miscalculations in the Qashqai interior, except for the front armrest not put forward. It is a pity that most of the interesting "lotions" like a 7-inch color screen or circular viewing system are available only in expensive equipment.
At first, the interior of Suzuki SX4 is not impressive - it hurts it. But everything is not so bad on the calibration. Minimum buttons and all of them at hand. Chairs, however, wearing a simple form and are not too tightly held in turns, but the back does not get tired in them. The instrument panel looks like Pistenrato, but it's an amateur. But the front armrest in contrast to Nissan Qashqai is advanced. Behind the spot is slightly less than in Qashqai, but the central tunnel is also low, so that the third passenger will not be superfluous.
The interior of Suzuki SX4 loses in the respectability of Qashqai. There are also good finishing materials here, but there is no glossy plastic, and in general the salon looks neatly, but without sizes. It is felt that when developing an interior at the head of the corner there was a desire to somehow combine pleasant with not very expensive, no complaints about the premium. So it turned out. However, it is worth noting a good driver landing geometry, wide range of steering wheel adjustments and armchairs. It is a pity, it was not forgotten to make full-fledged door handles instead of cheap "pockets". Places for trifles Standard - small glove box, pockets in the door, box armrest, niche on the central console.
In the basic configuration Mitsubishi ASX looks sadly. In expensive versions, the sermost interior accelerates a large color display of the multimedia system. However, there is no special claims to ergonomics, but where are they from being, if in ten buttons do not confuse with all the desire. ASX assumes a high landing of the driver, even with a completely lowered chair. Thanks to the largest wheelbase and highly installed front chairs, ASX offers rear passengers a maximum of foot space. But the attachment of the roof will put on the head of high passengers.
The interior of Mitsubishi ASX is perhaps the most robust. The essence of him is the same as Suzuki - the economy should be economical. But the gloomy colors and the milk plastic on the doorways spoil the impression. The only bright stain in this interior is the instrument panel. Speedometer and tachometer with bright red, almost sporting arrows, are stubborn in deep diagonal squabbles. On the central tunnel there are as many three cup holders and a roomy box armrest. The driver landing is not perfect, I wanted to be a little more pulling the steering wheel.
As for the trunk, in terms of the possibilities of the transformation, Skoda Yeti wins, although in absolute values \u200b\u200bit loses in terms of the volume of the cargo compartment to its competitors, providing only 322 liters in the usual state. All three armchairs of the rear row in Yeti are folded separately, forming a smooth freight area, and the volume of the trunk increases to 1485 liters, and this is the second result after Qashqai. In addition, in Yeti, you can add not only the backs of the back chairs, but also to throw back their pillows or dismantle the armchairs in one of the cabin, increasing the volume of the trunk. In the deep underground, a full-size "spare room" is stored, and on the side walls there are powerful guides with hooks, which are conveniently hanging bags from supermarkets.
Suzuki SX4 can boast the double floor of the trunk. Due to this, when folding the back of the rear seat, an almost smooth cargo site is formed. On this, all possibilities of transformation from SX4 end. In the usual version, the trunk is the most spacious - 430 liters, but the increase in the back of the rear seat back is small. Useful volume after such a transformation will be only 1269 liters, and it is only a little more than the outsider - Mitsubishi ASX.
Show outstanding figures The volume of the trunk Mitsubishi ASX prevented the high floor under which the full-size reserve is stored. In the usual version, the volume of the trunk is 384 liters, and with the backs of the rear seats - only 1188 liters. Thank you at least for the fact that when transformation is formed a smooth cargo platform.
In Russian execution with a full-sized posterior under the floor, the volume of the Nissan Qashqai trunk is small - only 325 liters. But if you fold the backs of the rear seats, you will get a record volume - 1585 liters. More to the trunk of this crossover should not boast.
Since crossovers we have front-wheel drive, we deliberately did not conduct any off-road tests. The habitat of these cars is limited to urban streets and even highway. Although the geometric parameters of the patency, in particular, the high ground clearance, allow you to perform the congresses from the asphalt. But mainly high clearance helps in the city do not cling bumpers borders and steep ramps. The highest clearance contained by the manufacturer - Nissan Qashqai - 200 mm. However, in reality it is slightly smaller. In addition, pretty big front Ove does not add patency. ASX in terms of geometry looks most preferable, despite the smaller on 5 mm clearance. But SX4 and Yeti boast a 180-millimeter clearance, which in real life is also a little less than the manufacturer. The problem of the long front swallow did not bypass these crossovers, but this problem is most pronounced at SX4. However, for urban off-road and such modest possibilities are enough.
Soundproofing, like many cars from Japan, our heroes have problems. And they are especially brightly audible in the Mitsubishi ASX salon. Solo turns the motor, which is silent only at idle. And it is necessary to nourish it, he is completely clogs all the other sounds. Suzuki SX4 is a little better with this, but it solorates the wheel arches. But the motor even in the limit modes is not so naked.
Due to the difference in the power units, direct comparisons of the dynamics would be incorrect. Although no, two crossover from four we managed to push the forehead. This is Suzuki SX4 and Mitsubishi ASX. Almost equal power, five-speed mechanical gearboxes and front-wheel drive. Technical data suggest that the difference in overclocking up to hundreds of cars is only 0.4 seconds in favor of SX4. In reality it is difficult to notice. But the nature of the motors and, accordingly, overclocking is different. Mitsubishi engine loves turnover, although it is quite good on the bottom. But after 3,000 revolutions issues a noticeable pickup. The Suzuki SX4 unit has a smoother character, spinning to maximum revolutions without a pronounced pickup. The work of the transmission more like SUZUKI. And the moves of the lever are small, and the inclusions are soft and clear. But the IPP lever in ASX is like some kind of frame SUV - high, with large strokes and inadvertent fixations. We must get used to.
From the point of view of acoustic comfort, Skoda Yeti looks most preferably. The entire noise background in the car is balanced and does not cause discomfort. Nissan Qashqai is also not bad, but you can still work on sound insulation of wheeled arches.
Skoda Yeti gearbox - sample imitation. Short moves and directly the gun clarity of inclusions. Felt German roots. The dynamics is good without reservations. Yet 200 nm of torque, and revolutions developed in a wide range. The main thing is swelling the lever with a six-speed "mechanics".
The limit features of the 144-strong two-liter gasoline motor Nissan Qashqai are good, but they all dissolve somewhere between the variator pulleys. In the medium-calm rhythm of movement to the work of the variator, you will not have to do, but when I want to go quickly, you will shoot typical defects of this transmission. There is not enough linear communication between the press on the gas pedal and acceleration.
In terms of controllability, there are no equal Skoda Yeti. Dense and collected suspension, minimal rolls, juicy effort on the steering wheel. A gambling car, which is pleasant to draw a bunch of turns at the limit. It is a pity that I almost lack the suspension of energy intensity, and shock absorbers - the stroke to the back. When driving "Sleeping Police", the front suspension is unpleasant "thumps".
SX4 and Nissan Qashqai are similar. On the smooth asphalt are good, but small vibrations are transferred on the "comb" on the body. Yes, and in deep irregularities lack energy intensity. On the broken country, you will not go quickly. The steering control of both cars is not enough informative. No matter how cool, there is a sensation of a computer simulator. The steering wheel SX4 and as if they see in the okoloneal zone altogether, and with small deviations of the Baranki, it does not even want to come back on their own.
But Mitsubishi ASX has the most successful chassis from a cross-control point. Energy intensity is awesome. In the city you can even forget what it means to slow down in front of the pitches, hatches, tramways and "sleeping police". The suspension forgives everything. At low speed, there is a little lack of informativeness of the steering, but on the arc, the car already shows its rally genes. The only car on which you can go quickly and with pleasure in bad roads.
Price variation in our quartet is serious. Of course, first of all win those dealers who have the price to be tied to the Russian ruble. This is Nissan and Suzuki. Let's start with SX4. So, today the basic version of the crossover is ... Hold on ... 749,000 Russian rubles or 16,299 dollars! At the same time, already in the "base" car has air conditioning, 7 airbags, a complex of active security systems (ABS, EBD, ESP, BAS), cruise control, electric mirrors and heating, front and rear power windows, stereo system with steering control Wheel, heated front seats, central locking with remote control. Checkmate. The car that took part in the test was in the GLX configuration, in which, in addition to the above, there are bi-xenon headlights, LED lights, fog lights, light and rain sensors, an intelligent access system in the salon and engine launch with a button, two-zone climate control, front and rear Parking Sensors, Tortcation Assistance System on Lifting, Alloy wheels R16. Price - 849,000 rubles or $ 18,475.
Basic Nissan Qashqai with 1.2 liter motor costs 848,000 Russian rubles or $ 18,434. Basic equipment is also not bad. Full electropacle, air conditioning, cruise control, 6 airbags, ESP, central locking with d / y, start / stop system, stereo system. Having visited the car in the test of Le + packaged much better. Xenon and fog lights, climate control, leather interior, intelligent access system in the cabin and engine start button, circular viewing system, front and rear parking sensors, a navigation system with a 7-inch color display and much more. The cost of such a car with a two-liter gasoline engine, variator and front-wheel drive - 1,242,000 Russian rubles or $ 27,060. And this is also a very good offer.
The minimum price of Skoda Yeti in the framework of the promotion is 17,990 euros or $ 22,345. This is for a car with a gasoline turbo engine 1.2 TSI (105 hp), a manual transmission and front-wheel drive in the Outdoor Active configuration. The package includes two airbags, central locking with d / y, heated windshield, air conditioning. Not much. All other joy of driver's life - in the long list of options. Our car with a motor 1.4 TSI cost 22,500 euros or $ 27,946 and was additionally equipped with a signature multimedia system with navigation and a large color screen, start-stop system, ESP, side airbags and a couple more options.
Mitsubishi ASX in the basic version with a motor 1.6 and a manual transmission (just such a car and was on our test) is offered at a price of $ 23,500. For this money, nothing special buyer will receive: electric and heated mirrors, two airbags, air conditioning, stereo, electric windows in front and rear, heated front seats, leather steering wheel, central locking with d / y. Compared to Japanese fellow - expensive. This corresponds to the price of Basic Yeti, but ASX loses to European competitor in the comfort and transformation capabilities.
Andrei Kazakevich (editor-in-chief site)
All models are good enough and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The choice of our edition is truly rational - discreet in design, balanced and correctly estimated by Suzuki New SX4.
But Nissan and Suzuki, "tied" to the Russian ruble, today look like the most attractive market offer. Skoda Yeti after restyling lost his charisma, but remained faithful to himself, but for it you have to pay and under this situation in the market the cost of surcharge comes to 8-10 thousand dollars. Undoubtedly, the conclusion to the Belarusian market of the Czech crossover of the Russian assembly could change the situation and it is possible that the outcome of this test turned out to be different, but we will be repelled from the realities.
Mitsubishi ASX pleased with the good omnivorous suspension and excellent geometric data. But it is worth understanding that this is still not a car for off-road, and therefore the clearance of rivals is quite enough for the city. But the internal decoration and habits on the streets of the metropolis, the leaving from the country of the rising sun was unable to please. But a colleague in the Japanese workshop in the face of Nissan Qashqai was surprisingly an interesting novelty, if it were not for one thing. Despite the presence of a variator and the most powerful among the compared engine models, it is the version with a manual gearbox and a more economical 1.2-liter engine suggests a comparison. But we managed to test this version on the exit presentation of Nissan in the Yakut Mountains, and this power unit caused dual impressions. Not the best impressions of the transmission alliance with a clutch pedal could not eclipse even the abundance of soft plastic in the cabin. And let's say right, we are not yet ready to go to turbocharged engines from Nissan.
Therefore, it turned out to be the most optimal and balanced version of the urban crossover from at least the legendary Japanese manufacturer of SUZUKI SUVs and crossovers. It is the lack of frankly weak moments with a fairly balanced chassis in combination with an economical and tested engine, was a key factor when choosing this model. Sophisticated gearbox work and well-tuned clutch are perfectly suitable for comfortable movement in the city stream. Road clearance is quite sufficient to conquer the urban landscape, and the spacious trunk is able to take on board the mass of the useful cargo - from photographic equipment to a family scarf for a cottage or country picnic. Interior in the absence of claims to premium pleased with its verified ergonomics and good quality materials. Yes, what to smoke - the crossover in almost the maximum possible configuration for $ 18,755 can convince any skeptic and a convinced adherent of German parquets!
Nissan Qashqai. It was not the first Hatchback C-Class with a big clearance, but the number of cars sold in the world market for 10 years has reached a mark of 3 million for 10 years. The nearest competitor is Suzuki SX4, slightly less "raced", but because it is no less effective. Starting your way with Hatchback, Nissan has added in size over time and now is more suitable for the description of the crossover. After the start of production in St. Petersburg, Qashqai prevailed with characteristics adapted to the harsh Russian conditions: in the domestic market, he began to be produced with an updated and adapted by cold weather with suspension, new shock absorbers and an extended front and back slicer. In turn, the last generation Suzuki SX4. Acquired similar features with a nissan: the ability to switch the full drive mode, the variator and even a similar rear stand. But after 2014, there was a fall in the Russian market, the price of the car increased and sales SX4 "stood". Soon the Suzuki concern still resumed the supply of cars to Russia, though with small modifications of their model. So, a low-efficiency variator was removed, a turbo engine with a chromed grille was added, the headlights and others increased.
Pros and cons of both models
Comparative overview of these cars will begin with what each of them has. Nissan distinguishes the presence of soft plastic with carefully designed parts and inserts from the gloss "under the piano varnish". Against the background of the rest, this car is uniqueized with a circular review camera and a huge hatch opened in the entire roof. The model has a built-in navigation system, instantly calculated route taking into account traffic jams. The interior of the Suzuki SX4 is also represented by a soft front panel and modern navigation, which is true, more compromised than Nissan. Quashqai is much more spacious and in the length of the wheel base exceeds Suzuki, but it is indisputable more convenient: the loading height of the SX4 is lower, the sofa cushion is higher, and in the "underground" there is an additional compartment.Nissan Qashqai. | Suzuki SX4. |
