Compare cars Chevrolet Aveo and Hyundai Solaris. Private bussiness

But now I got a choice - what car is better, it is for myself. Because I choose an inexpensive, but high-quality car. Therefore, the article Chevrolet Aveo or Hyundai Solaris was born. Mandatory requirements for cars to possess a machine (automatic transmission), a good modern economical engine, new technical solutions (type USB ports and Bluetooth). In general, so that everything and at an attractive price, for ourselves, identified two cars Aveo and Hyundai, so today's battle will be between them ...

(2 pages, second page at the bottom of the article)

So, the first I will talk about Hyundai Solaris, although we have already written about him, but you have to repeat.

Body

The body is built on the basis of Hyndai Accent, but here the improvement of forms, which is said to face. The appearance is very modern, the front streamlined forms, large false headlights, front fog lights with an unusual solution are made in the form of a boomeranga. The rear part is low, but also not devoid of attractiveness. As for the quality of the materials, there are no complaints, the paintwork is very well applied, it is not afraid of small stones and scratches. All doors are closed with well-fitted sound, there is no rattling, no backlash, such a feeling that you close the car class above. Plastic bumpers are made of good plastic, during frosts are not damaged, the clearance of a car is 160 mm, which is very good for our weather conditions.

Salon

Hyundai Solaris Salon, attractive, has good quality finish materials, seats, especially the front, possess good lateral support, a long way in the car is pretty good. The front with comfort will be located in front of two people, but the back will be comfortable only to two passengers, for three things are still closed, and even if your height is more than 185 cm, then you rest in the roof ceiling. The salon can pass the maximum comfort, in the maximum version of the car there is everything, ranging from climate - control and ending with partial leather interior trim. In my configuration, which I look at myself, it is the second and called Optima + the magnetol package + package advanced (handles, mirrors in body color, additional speakers, central armrest) + automatic, there are almost everything. Noise insulation as it should be a budget class of a car is not very good. It will be necessary to additionally sample the bottom.

engine

Engine - Here the Koreans tried very strongly and created a really high-quality product that is called the GAMMA project. Engines for not long have proven themselves only from the positive side. What can be said about them, quiet, cost-effective, dynamic, even on the machine the car accelerates very impressive. There are two versions of 1.4 liters (107 hp) and 1.6 liters (123 hp). If you believe feedback, then a 1.4 liter engine with a manual transmission can be brought to 6.5 liters. Of course, 1.6 liters spend more, if you still put an automatic consumption, about 9 liters will be about 9 liters, but it still enters the limit of 10 liters per 100 km of the city, which is considered normal.

Transmission

Here everything is not definitely. There is a five-speed manual transmission with which you can still put up. No, it works without problems, but I want to see 6 gears.

Automatic - In general, it has four programs and is in the modern world almost a dinosaur, although in combination with an engine of 1.6 liters, behaves quite well, works without jerks and failures. But here six gears would paint Hyundai Solaris still better, but this is a budget car and saved on the machine great.

Suspension - The first cars had a big defects in the form of a bad rear suspension, the car even at no high speed led from the road, it was not possible to go. But after the New Kia Rio came out with an updated Hyundai Solaris suspension, also updated, and now problems with the suspension disappeared. There are rear discs. The road holds well. The suspension is even more comfortable than the Korean Kia Rio fellow, in general one is comfortable.

Price

The packages are very much, I will only say one thing that the most minimum version of the car stands with a 1.4 liter engine and mechanics costs 445,000 rubles, there is no conditioner there is no stereo system. If you take the maximum version with an engine of 1.6 liters, then it is 624,000 rubles + 35,000 rubles a machine gun. But here there are all, even features such as chip key and leather panel trim. For himself, as I wrote above, I consider it an acceptable complete set of Optima, with additional packages, its cost is 556,500 rubles.

Now the second challenger in our battle of Chevrolet Aveo

Shevrolet Aveo.

Body Aveo.

The car received a new body in 2012 and is now not so boring as it was before. Appearance, undoubtedly new aggressive. Akuliy front hood and four front headlights give some sportiness, the car in front looks 110% out of 100. But the whole fed cool down at the sight of the back, the car has "on an amateur" headlights, both design and location, the large rear window also does not contribute Strengthening beauty, in general, I want to say that the car has a not finished design. Beautiful front and not very rear. There is no complaints about painting the body, the car is simply remarkably painted, also the bodies of the body in the permissible limit, everything closes and works, since it is necessary. But only with lowered glass there are small rattles. That is, when you close the door, there is a small third-party sound of vibration, or the trim, or the glasses, it is not very good, there is no such opponent, it is minus.

Salon

There really is all futuristic. The front panel has a motorcycle display, as if hinting on a young car style. The backlight of the devices is blue, I would even say neon-blue at first, can be a little annoying, but you get used to you, and there are convenient adjustments of the backlight level, brighter or vice versa weaker. The front panel is made, quite not bad, although it has hard plastic, in principle, like solaris. There is a radio tape recorder and control on the steering wheel, the currently necessary USB and AUX inputs are also available. Readability with devices are good, despite the blue monophonic backlight. But the door trim is worse than the opponent, there is even in high grade plastic, there is no tissue finish. True, plastic here two colors, which creates a certain separation of the door, very original. Shevrolet Aveo has a lot of pockets and gloves in the panel, by the way, the glovecom is double, the top is a small compartment and the bottom large. Seats are somewhat worse, like side support and the material itself. However, in defense I want to say that there are already three people with relative comfort from behind, the Solaris, Troim, will be placed in the back. The Aveo Salon loses the Solaris Salon on the finish, but it wins a little in the spaciousness.

Engine, gearbox, suspension

Engine - This Ecotec 2 engine, which is put on the Opel Astra of the new generation. The engine has excellent elasticity, it is quite quiet, it is not heard in the cabin, he wakes up only for 3.5 thousand revolutions. The Chevrolet Aveo is placed only by one volume of 1.6 liters and 115 hp, which is 8 hp Less than solaris. However, fuel efficiency will be practically at the same level with Solaris.

Transmission - It's getting better here than Hyundai Solaris. If the mechanic as an opponent has five gears, and works without complaints (speeds switches without large lever strokes), then the machine gun here is modern on six gears, which works simply excellently, the car accelerates very quickly and confidently, also the fuel efficiency of the engine with significantly better than four-speed. Works automatically without jerks and jerks, speeds really switched not noticeable. Here Aveo has a big plus.

Suspension - It works well, the minor non-evenness and tram paths are swallowed. When turning the car has small rolls, all within the limits of allowed. But noise insulation does not have enough cars, as well as Solaris, probably, it is a distinctive feature of all folk cars. Also, the latter minus is the rear drum brakes, guys of course saving savings, but it's time to put disc brakes, and this is the necessary security system. I am also not very clear information about the car clearance. According to the site and official sources of clearance of 160 mm, but there is an anterior rubber sv, which grows another 30 mm, and it turns out 130 mm, the question arises: - Guys who need this rubber sv, will you immediately tear off our borders. Here Aveo is also minus.

Price Aveo.

Price is perhaps the biggest plus. The basic version starts only from 444,000 rubles. But the truth here is no air conditioner, but the audio system is, there is also no front windows, then they are manual. In the second configuration, its cost is 487,000 rubles, air conditioning and front windows are already appearing, here you can put more machine, the car will be at cost + 33,000 rubles and will be 520,000 rubles, but the most maximum equipment that has all the windows + air conditioning + Cruise control + 16 alloy wheels, costs 523,000 rubles (mechanics) and 556,000 with a machine gun.

Now the comparative table that gets to bring the winner

As you can see Hyundai Solaris, wins our battle, three points. We set the chevrolet for clearance points, we consider deservedly, because you need to think when you make such a small clearance for Russia. Also, Aveo even in high grades there are no climate control, and there is absolutely not necessary cruise control, it is also not very clear. Rear brakes at Aveo drum, also minus. Minuses at Hyundai Solaris, this is a 4-step automatic and a higher price in the maximum configuration, but it has something that is not even supplied in Chevrolet Aveo.

The desire to purchase a quality car at an affordable price often leads to the choice between two stamps.

Consider the most common match of Chevrolet Aveo VS Hyundai Solaris. According to the price category and its characteristics, these two cars are very similar. The only question is whether there is something in common, for which it makes no sense to overpay and what differences in these two "driving horses".

Aveo and Solaris have many modern and stylish vehicles: an economical engine, convenient salon and new technical capabilities:

• support Bluetooth conversation through a car radio;
• uSB ports;
• built-in rear view cameras in the mirror.

Each of the models deserves a separate chapter of studies and discussion of the details of manufacturing and operation.

American dream

Thanks to the name and heraldic cross, symbolizing the heritage Louis Chevrolet, Aveo is often called the "American Dream". This model is very popular among Russian citizens, although it has a common name with the American prototype. Its cost is definitely attractive for the average person. But it even in the most maximum configuration does not exceed the proven framework.

The package with the maximum content of functions includes:

• modern multimedia station;
• 6 airbags;
• cruise control;
• multiculor, lined with leather;
• titanium disks with a set of rubber.

The latter are completed as a bonus.

Features "Body"

Aveo's body has undergone certain changes every year. Recent updates were about three years ago. Sports design can be traced in the hood, smoothly flowing into stylish four front headlights. As opposed to "Facade" Chevrolet Aveo, many do not like his rear view. Big glass and standard headlights visually crossed all the charms of the facial appearance.

When the cobalt model was released on the market in January 2013, many suggested that she would completely lift the Chevrolet Aveo admirers. Cobalt is built on the basis of the Aveo body. This fact eliminated the need to get used to the new model. Cobalt is 90 mm longer than its "parent". Almost identical engines in Aveo and Cobalt add "kinship" to them.

"Inner world"

Chevrolet Aveo salon and cobalt are practically identical and have elements of futuristicity. Modern Aveo attracts young people with its extraordinary instrument panel with stylish blue illumination and an extraordinary speedometer.

Aveo and Solaris torpedo made of durable hard plastic, on the steering wheel there is a convenient control of the main functions of the car, including music. Most Aveo owners assure that the rear seats in this car are more convenient and more spacious than in Solaris. But cobalt is considered a very quiet car, even compared to Solaris.

Cobalt can "boast" a large luggage compartment comprising 563 liters. It is 61 liters more than Aveo. At the same time, the assembly of cars Cobalt and Aveo is produced in different countries and determine which one is better, it is very difficult.

Trail in the mark

Hyundai's company has won trust and respect for a long period. Each new model became better than the previous one several times and once the company achieved his goal and entered the market a favorite. Solaris played an important role in this. Now he sets the standards of a sedan of an affordable category and can dictate to the automotive market.

Solaris has been holding a leading position in Russia for 4 years. Moreover, this model is often sold in the maximum configuration, which you can not say about Chevrolet Aveo. Some unique modern "beams" without significant rise in prices attract young people:

• heated windshield;
• heated steering wheel;
• the rear view camera is displayed in the salon mirror;
• the presence of climate control with improved functions;
• superior acoustics system, including the possibility of the conversation of the HandsFree.

Solaris has very elegant front forms, which are as well as the cobalt model, attract consumers of different categories: from young people to a pitched age, regardless of the floor. Moreover, both models are attractive not only from the "facade", but also from the "rear". The paintwork coolant is much better than in other models under consideration. It was repeatedly noted that small scratches and potholes from the pebbles on the highway of this model are not terrible.

"Muscles game"

Solaris is equipped with a 6-speed "automatic" in a set with a 1.6-liter engine, which is started with the button. This tandem is amazingly working consistently in unison. Therefore, Solaris is called "the most high-speed box." At the same time, almost a silent salon allows you to "set the heat" without fear of it.

Even in cases where Solaris is gaining high revolutions, noise is almost no noise in the cabin. Especially when climate control enabled. The only complaints about this model come in connection with its instability. Sometimes the driver needs to steer to correct the car's trajectory so as not to "get off the distance" not in time.

"Good in"

Manufacturers of Solaris also took care of passengers. Each detail is thought out for convenience of movement: headrests, glass tanks, comfortable pockets. With special picklight, manufacturers made focus on the front seats. The comfort of the driver and passenger should be above all, since such models are often used as family cars.

Long-term travel in Solaris is transferred very well. The quality of the manufacture of doors and the placement of seals is much better than in other cars. The only drawback is pretty high landing, which creates inconveniences for high growth people. They simply rest on their heads into the ceiling, which is uncomfortable while driving, especially at high speed.

Duel Aveo VS Solaris ended with the same score. Criteria in which one model is better than the previous one, are opposed to other criteria. For one driver, the comfort of the passenger is a priority, and for the other - the convenience and functionality of the control. Therefore, everyone chooses himself, in which direction his bowl of scales is inclined.

None of the modern reader will not like to read car mappings from one class segment, if the whole conversation is to be built solely on the provision of data on horsepower, the engine under the hood or other technical characteristics that are more interested in engineers than a simple conversion of the alignment.

Car Hyundai Solaris - This is the newest generation in the development of the automotive industry. Hyundai Solaris - refers to the fourth generation of Hyundai Accent cars. Auto has been demonstrated in China (Beijing), the year of showing the car 2010, month of April. The car was named Verna. The Global Manufacturing of Hyundai Solaris in Russia began in 2011 on January 1st.

A little truthful story about the Hyundai Solaris car.

If you are going to take this car, then you, of course, you need to open the official Russian site Hyundai. In order to make sure once again in the fact that you want a car from the leading manufacturer. Solaris itself is a machine made specifically for Russian roads and for Russia as a whole. However, Hyundai Solaris was not made specifically for Russia, although he was taken into account that in Russia the car would be in great demand. Solaris is the newest breakthrough in the automotive industry, which came to the market in 2010, and to Russia in 2011. But not all the well-known cars from the company Hyundai Solaris got into Russia, a small number of cars drove into the territory of the Russian Federation, such as: Accent, I25, Verna.

Solaris is the last, that is, the fourth generation of the Hyundai Accent car, which at one time has proven itself to consume a very good level. Especially in the CIS countries and within Europe. Hyundai Accent of the second generation from the TagAZ auto plant (Taganrog Automobile Plant, Auto industry), became really a pet for car owners and Hyundai fans, as cars came out with high-quality factory and not expensive in service.

Salon and Appearance Hyundai Solaris.

1. Appearance: Looking at the Hyundai Solaris car, the buyer will be very pleased with the appearance of the car: dynamic lines, narrowed headlights and selected an excellent color collection for cars, very pleased the buyer.

And power 123 hp And torque 155 N.M. .. The engine of this car has a 4-cylinder, which operate in a place for the new technology of the XXI century, (gamma). The main catch of Gamma technology lies in the fact that there is a reusable injection and a continuous change in the gas distributor phase. Thanks to all this, Hyundai Solaris will receive great overclocking, and the rapid torque of the engine. And by the way, all both engines are operated on the 92th gasoline.

Hyundai Solaris suspension and transmission.
Of course, it all depends on the auto picking, Hyundai Solaris is a mechanical and automatic transmission. 1st This is a manual box M5CF1-1. 2nd, it is automatic A4CF1. But, despite their uniqueness, both transmissions, unfortunately, are not innovative developments in Hyundai.

How to get on and what can we offer this market?

We are not in a hurry to leave the car segment "B", which began to be viewed in the past issue of the magazine, because Russian annual sales in this segment are calculated by many hundreds of thousands, or 39% of the total number of cars implemented in 2008

The heroes of our regular publication - Hyundai Getz, Chevrolet Aveo and Kia Rio, which in 2008 there were about 75 thousand copies. And it's a lot!

General

All three cars are classic representatives of their segment. Front-wheel drive, with a body length of up to 4.2 m, offered with sedan and hatchback bodies (except Hyundai Getz, which only hatchback), mechanical and automatic transmission to the choice of the buyer. Clear thing that power units for Russia only gasoline. Unlike any "Germany", our person is born not with a calculator in the head, but with a latitude in the shower. Buy a small, compact and hyperacteristic diesel car to "fuss" on it on a megalopolis with minimal cost? Fi like this is fine! If one is stitching in the traffic jam, then occupying space from 4.5 m in length and about 2 m in width. Probably, Koreans understand all the features of demand arising from the latitude of the Russian soul, because GM Dat did not provide for a diesel for Aveo in principle, and in Hyundai and Kia did not consider the supply of Getz and Rio with a 1.5 CRDI engine, which in a mixed cycle consumes no more than 5 L diesel.

The first in Russia appeared Hyundai Getz. Hatchback, not having any designer sings, with appearance in the style of "strict unisex", this car immediately attracted attention to our market due to competent positioning, ensuring a good value for the price, consumer qualities and technical characteristics. Not a scroll seats in terms of security, having in the list of airbags and ABS with EBD. And from the point of view of Euroncap it is a solid "good". Therefore, the sales of Hyundai Getz were calculated by many tens of thousands from the moment of its appearance in Russia, and the proposal of "three years" of this model is the most extensive.

Chevrolet Aveo. This kid is also well done! Koreans from GM DAT and the Russian representation GM also correctly appreciated the needs of our compatriots, forming a complete set and prices, and therefore the turn on the acquisition of Aveo stretched to six months - both on the sedan and on the hatchback. And restyling 2008 went to this Chevrolet only for the benefit. He is the most stylish of our entire Trinity.

But the Kia Rio of the generation under consideration started poorly. There are many reasons for this - from prices, frankly high for the Korean car of this class, before organizing its release on "Izhavto" with further folding of production in Izhevsk and the next establishment of shipments from Korea. As a result, Kia Rio was sold many times less than Aveo and Getz, although the car is not bad with technical and consumer points of view. Therefore, it is not surprising that on the secondary market of cars of this model is significantly less. And in prices compared to the acquisition price, they lost much more.

From the point of view of the driver and passengers

The most "drive" from our Trinity is Chevrolet Aveo. Easy and accurate steering, fast responses to the actions sitting behind the wheel ... Perhaps even too fast, especially for an unprepared driver, because sending Aveo to the lateral slip is not much labor. In general, buying Aveo, taxate with pleasure! But do not think to sharply drop the "gas" in turn and all the more slow down, because this little Chevy will immediately decide that you want to go through the "fan" turn, and with pleasure you will play. Someone is in the buzz, and someone scares.

In terms of ergonomics, the driver of the Aveo driver is also in the leaders. Everything is qualitatively done, properly placed and highlighted. And not diluted in the cabin, as in Kia Rio, for example. Only the steering wheel is elegant in diameter and the switching lever MCP is not optimal. To turn on even gear, the hand has a little behind the back to start. And the moves of the lever are too much.

Passenger and freight - Again in the leaders of Aveo. The most spacious salon, in which even tall driver and passengers will place, the most comfortable and spacious trunk, if Aveo with the body of the sedan - here its volume is as much as 400 liters (the hatchback has only 220 liters). Hyundai Getz, the default hatchback, is 245 liters, and Kia Rio is 270 liters at the hatchback and 390 liters at the sedan.

In the nomination "Riding Comfort" Chevrolet Leadership loses. Hard "Highway" Aveo pendants shakes the crew on our roads. And the buzz from rolling tires on asphalt tangle. In this nomination, the palm of championship belongs to Hyundai Getz. This uncomfortable outside the car is not enough of the stars from the sky, being in the whole golden middle - in manageability, ergonomics and other things. But according to the ability to swallow irregularities, gently fishing people and cargo, it is ahead of other participants of this our comparison. If GETZ with a 1.6 l gasoline engine, then it will be ahead and on acceleration dynamics.

And what about Rio, the youngest of the car under consideration? The modesty of the appearance of this model KIA continues the serness of the interior, there are no frank flaws of ergonomics, but also special reasons for joy too. Steering wheel is vigorous, the seat is flat. The rear passengers will probably have to be closer than in Getz, not to mention Aveo. But ride kia can be good! Of course, not so "ruling", like Chevrolet, Kia suspension settings are softer, he behaves more calm, but not so smoothly and comfortable as Hyundai. In general, "podiums" this machine in competitions with countrymen does not conquer.

Cost of ownership: efficiency, maintenance, repair

We still proceed from the assumption that you carefully read our article in the February issue on the choice of a car with mileage and checking its technical condition, so the probability that you buy a "live" car of any brand and model will strive for the maximum. Because otherwise, we simply consider something simply impossible, the "scaled" instance of any automaker and any class can stretch out of the pocket such a sum that it will not seem anyone.

From the point of view of economy, Chevrolet Aveo, equipped with an engine with a volume of 1.2 liters, ahead if not the planets of the whole, then the trinity under consideration is definitely: 5.5 liters per 100 km of mileage in a mixed cycle - the lowest indicator of all the models under consideration in all configurations. Moreover, gasoline AI-92 is quite capable of "eat". Only one problem is Aveo with such a motor: he will quickly accelerate and ride only from the point of view of the grandfather, first-in-room driving behind the wheel after a bicycle. Therefore, if you want not to strain, trying to keep in the transport stream, it makes sense to pay attention to the Chevrolet Motor 1.4 liters. And it will be more fun, and fuel consumption is not much higher - by 0.4 liters at the rate of 100 km.

Hyundai Getz is also well done! If it is with a 1.6-liter engine, then in overclocking up to 100 km / h "Sell" from 10 s, and fuel per 100 km in a mixed cycle will take only 5.9 liters. Excellent result! By the way, the 1,4-liter Motor getz is about the same parameters of fuel consumption, so if when choosing between engines proceed from fuel economy, then the "younger" special advantages over a more powerful fellow.

And Kia with a 1.4 l engine is the most voracious. To him in the same cycle, give 6.2 liters per 100 km. And with no advantages in accelerating dynamics in front of Hyundai and Chevrolet.

As for the cost of maintenance and repair, prices for spare parts and rates for services, then between these parameters, within the framework of the official service, exemplary parity in all three models. After all, this is also the object of competition between brands for the buyer's wallet! The intervals between the regulatory work as part of the scheduled maintenance are actually identical: 15 thousand km or 12 months - which will come earlier from the moment the previous one. Also, information from the ATLANT-M auto centers and business colleagues testifies that with the reliability and reliability of the whole Trinity, too, parity. And Chevrolet, and Hyundai, and Kia are neatly assembled, kindly, capable of winding dozens and hundreds of thousands of kilometers on the semi-axes without any particular problems, if you comply with the regulation and apply high-quality spare parts, lubricants and consumables with technical fluids. What, in principle, it is not surprising, they are created by the technical thought of the same country - South Korea, and its progress in terms of the automotive industry to us envy.

In our country, the hatchback of a small class for some reason is considered purely female cars, so when I inform you that I try to Chevrolet Aveo and Hyundai Getz, people look at me either with distrust or regret. Public template calls me to buy a car bigger, something like Ford Focus or Honda Civic, because from the point of view of society a man in a small machine looks no and unnatural, incorrectly. Cars like Renault Clio Sport and Mini Cooper - expensive exceptions confirming the rule.

But I, in essence, there has never been to public stereotypes; Especially before those that are deprived of common sense. And when choosing a car, common sense, it seems to me, should be the main leading force. Of course, when buying any thing, it is impossible to underestimate the role of taste factor and externally Chevrolet Aveo seems to me more interesting than Hyundai Getz; But the aesthetic advantage of Chevrolet is not so great so that I chose it, knowing that he is in something fundamentally worse than Hyundai.

Why Chevrolet Aveo and Hyundai Getz? Because there are still quite a few other modern small-class cars, whose owner can be just 350,000 rubles. Say, employees of automobile newspapers do little? Yes, perhaps, this work gives a lot of other pleasant advantages. In the end, it's not so little: if you wish, I could take a "real male car" credit class above, but the more I learn how the banking system was arranged, the smaller my desire to contact her. And 350,000 rubles - the amount that is enough to get enough, without tormenting itself by debt obligations. Yes, and I don't need a car class above: I live in a 20 millionth megalopolis, in cars I appreciate efficiency, compactness and maneuverability, the passengers of more than one I rarely, there are no cottages, I do not suffer from Sunday shopping, I do not fond of hunting and fishing.

For the same amount, both applicants appear, fortunately, not complete ascetrics: one airbag, power steering, central locking, power windows and adjustable steering column have both cars. Then begin the nuances: Chevrolet as part of the agreed budget is richer on the CD / MP3 audio system, ABS and air conditioning, but Hyundai has a more powerful engine (1.4 l and 97 hp. 2.2 liters and 84 hp) . For reference, we note that Getz can also be purchased with a 66-strong 1.1 liter motor for 292,900 rubles, but for myself I immediately rejected such an option as too dying - all the same kind of dynamics from the car should be.

The number of doors for me does not matter, so in a pair of 5-door Getz we deliberately chose a 3-door Aveo, especially before the recent restyling of such a body from Aveo was not - at the same time we will seem to know the new version.

In the town

In the city I live, work and rest, so my car will do a volley-unilous to permanentanticia in the capital's traffic. For a torn cork rhythm, the weightless clutch and the "acid" gear lever Aveo fit perfectly, practically without regarding any effort, except for the volitional; True, at first the clutch seems completely non-informative, but they quickly get used to him and thank it later for the fact that the left foot never gets tired. The traction capabilities of the 1,2-liter engine is quite enough for confident accelerations in the entire range of urban velocities; The shortage of forces is felt only when lifting on the overpass, and even if in the process of the lift you fit someone to overtake - do not overtake and postpone the maneuver to the horizontal or descent.

Brake pedal Aveo a little harder clutch, but informativeness is up to the order - to dose the slowdown is easy and simple. The chassis confidently copes with the tram paths and the rules of road repair work - to drop the speed when overcoming them makes it rather noisy suspension work than real shocks and vibrations. Good and visibility, discontent can cause too small outdoor rearview mirrors; Moreover, the right - without a reducing effect, which is why it can be seen only a very small part of the events behind the car occurring.

Outdoor GETZ mirrors larger and give a more natural picture for the eye, with overtakers and rebuildings - no problems. More pleasant to sharp maneuvers and a more powerful 1,4-liter motor, but in the creeping modes, the power is manifested only at the fuel consumption, which, of course, does not make it at all. The grip of the tight, the transmission is turned on accurately and with a noticeable effort, which creates a sense of a good and reliable car, but in traffic, excessive elasticity of management authorities pretty quickly begins to tire, you want more ease - maybe it is developed with time? There are no complaints to the brakes, but in comparison with Aveo it seems that they are almost enough informativeness. Hyundai suspension is noticeably quieter than the opponent, and it works a little better smooth irregularities of the roadway.

In general, both cars adequately showed themselves in an urban environment, complicating life to the driver only with small "kosyachki" like small outer mirrors at Aveo and the tight gutz authorities, for which they lost their highest assessment.

Outside the city

Though rarely and without much enthusiasm, but for the city I still go - there is such a production and everyday need. Chevrolet Aveo quite conscientiously tolerates a long road, demonstrating good course stability and unexpectedly vigorously dynamics. Up to 140 km / h 1,2-liter engine accelerates a light machine quite confidently, and the impression was created that this is not the limit and passport 170 are quite achievable.

On a more or less high-quality highway Aveo rolls slightly smoothly; The wind is dominated in the noise palette, and its uniform rumble is difficult at all wishes to be called discomfort. Acoustic troubles occur only on broken roads, which the suspension Aveo works out what is called, not embarrassed in expressions and scares the crew with screens and screens.

Hyundai Getz to poor asphalt relates tolee and does it even seem more comfortable under any conditions, but, frankly, if you test both cars with closed ears, then the difference in smoothness between them can not be noticed. What getz is definitely better, so it is in overtakers at high speed - thanks to a more powerful engine that allows you to make most maneuvers without manipulating the gearbox lever.

It is not prohibited to move onto the primer to both cars: their ground clearance, though they are far from record-names in the classroom, but with a neat ride, these kids will be able to master not one-tenth kilometers of the village without prejudice to the body and units located in the bottom area. However, by the amount of impressions for country rods, it seems more adapted Hyundai Getz: on its side the best noise insulation and a more temperamental engine.

Controllability

Both vehicles, despite the Korean origin, the chassis settings demonstrate the classic European education: accurate steering, easy insufficient turning when an excess of speed at the entrance to the rotation, moderate rolls and quite effective brakes. Even with modest engines, they are able to please a gambling driver with overloads on a winding rustic highway. But I do not count yourself to gambling drivers and in these machines I am more impressed by the confidence that they inspires our behavior than limit opportunities in turns.

If there were not a weak equipment of active safety, then you could put Aveo and Getz higher grades for handling, but, alas, it turned out that in basic equipment they do not even have ABS, and ESP is not established in principle - negligence negligence With regard to buyers.

Ergonomics and Comfort

Recently noticed that most people, for the first time, left behind the wheel of any new car, immediately accepted the plastic panel of the instruments, as if it was the main thing that they were interested in the car. Personally, I'm not going to sleep on the instrument panel and his hardness / softness does not interest me, and if you think that the so-called soft, but in fact, only a little pliable under the pressure of the finger plastic will cause you less corporate damage during emergency contact, then I do not I will persuade you: I always respected the "feelings of believers." That for me is really important in the car's cabin, it is a comfortable fit and good ergonomics. With a landing at Aveo, everything is wonderful: to find the optimal adjustment of the driver's seat was very fast, and not only me, but also to the colleagues of other growth and physique. And with the ergonomics, the 3-door hatchback came out an unpleasant puncture: the central bodies racks are located strongly behind the front chairs, so it is very inconvenient for hanging on them, you have to turn to them with all the case. In addition, the driver strains too small outer mirrors, which, of course, does not make trips more comfortable. Calls questions and registration of the central tunnel: for two domestic niches developers, of course, thanks, but the only cupboard is located for some reason behind the front chairs, so the driver and navigator use it extremely difficult. In addition, the diameter and depth of the cup holder are such that it is more likely to transport cans, not drinks.

The passage to the back seat, as in all 3-door hatchbacks, is associated with light acrobatics, but it is quite convenient to sit there, only too low head restraints are confused.

It's nice that already in the basic configuration Aveo is equipped with a branded audio system supporting MP3 format. A large head block looks very solid, but the sound quality is expected mediocre, and if high and medium frequencies are reproduced with more plausible, then the quality of the low cannot be determined due to the absence of those. However, I have seen twice and three times more expensive cars, where the sound was worse than in Aveo. To those, alas, applies and test Hyundai Getz, equipped with an abnormal JVC audio system with loud, but monstrously dirty sound. The standard audio system for the machines of the Russian specification is not provided at all, so the future owner of the GETZ in any case will have to be spent on the equipment; It is pleasant only that in this case you can achieve really good sound.

The landing behind the wheel of Getz personally seemed to me quite comfortable, but higher growth experts had inconvenience, which can be clearly convinced by looking at our video on the site. But the space around the driver here is designed literately than in Aveo: on the central tunnel of the whole three cup holder (two small under tea / coffee and one large and deep under the large bottle), and the door lock keys are logical together with the handles for their opening. In the movement of Getz pleases a low noise level and is generally perceived by passengers as a more comfortable car, for which it gets a small advantage in glasses over Aveo.

Practicality

Hatchback type body assumes the presence of a folding rear seat that allows you to carry large things in the car like a couple of vinyl players Vestax and mixer for private parties that we love to arrange with friends. In both machines, not only the back, but also the seat, leaving under the luggage a deep niche with a smooth floor of a conditionally square perimeter. But if the Getz seats are entirely in the proportion of 2: 1, then the Aveo is divided into parts only the back is divided, which, of course, limits the cargo-passenger interior variance. In addition, in the initial position, the Aveo trunk is slightly smaller in volume than the Getz, - 220 VDA-liters vs. 254. However, I don't need an overwhelming trunk in most cases, but I forced to put GETZ for the practicality of a higher rating.

conclusions

The winner of this comparative test, as it is easy to guess, has become Hyundai Getz, not a single round of a rival. On the side of Getz and slightly smaller insurance costs and that. Of course, a more powerful engine will require a little more frequent visits on the gas station, but its appetite is difficult for all the desire to be called a ruin.

From myself I can add that the advantage of getz over Aveo can not be called overwhelming, it has developed a set of nuances, the importance of which is obvious not for everyone. Including for me. I do not strongly strain the noise level in Aveo, on a less convenient trunk at all do not care, but it is embarrassed by small outer mirrors and a husting belt. The problem with the belt is solved by buying a 5-door version instead of a 3-door (more expensive on average by 5,000 rubles), and mirrors can become so to speak, the object of visual tuning. In addition, I am attracted to the design, light governments and better equipment as part of the planned budget. So I do not even know what to choose. The classic situation in the style of "shoemaker without boot". It seems I know everything about the cars, but it makes it difficult to make an unequivocal choice. Perhaps you will pick up a coin. In any case, I will not go.
