The current Russian buyer budget sedan difficult choice, especially if it is a truly modern and high quality in all respects, car. Today at the top of the popularity in this segment Hyundai Solaris and Volkswagen Polo sedan
VW Polo Highline, AIF 583 700 rubles. and Hyundai Solaris Family, KP 639 000 rubles. Until recently, the "budget" prefix to the car implied minimalism in equipment and some simplistic, often outdated design-only mandatory certification requirements would be fulfilled. All in a year of low cost and large circulation, which should not be in the car dealership. A bright example of this is the vasovskie models, especially many times modernized, still 40-year-old "classic", Daewoo Nexia, ZAZ Chance and similar. In recent years, the budget sector, which has always been a piece of automakers, has divided into two camps-already mentioned, the cheapest (up to 250,000 rubles). and "new", the cost of one and a half-two (in the base pick) is higher. Demand for the second is hardly less than today. Our today's competitors are just one of those new budgets. Many cars are similarBoth compact, very close sedans with an attractive design and wide choice of picking. The base versions are equipped with modern security systems and "electric conveniences", which were previously available at significantly higher price levels. But these cars are interesting, primarily because the popularity of these cars is almost equal to other competitors. So what's the difference between them? Our task is to understand the differences and nuances between these market leaders. Other bodies are traditionally in a number of countries, including Russia, most popular even in a compact class. However, the demand for more practical hatchbacks is a big one. There are such modifications and our competitors today. The differences are that the five Solaris workpieces that have just appeared in the dealership are the same as the sedan, the arsenal of powertrains. It's like picking, but it's four, not five.. The Base version is disabled and the base version is Classic (the sedan is the second). The other names are changed: the Optima sedan, the hatchback-Active, Comfort corresponds to Style, and Family is Dynamic. Hatchbek is a bit more expensive-Classic and Dynamic for 10,000 rubles. In 2015, the Russian ruble grew by 20 kopecks against the US dollar to the dollar in 2015. (with some additional options). Production of khatchbekov has been established on one conveyor with a sedan in St. Petersburg. The situation is different from the Polo. Hatchback is a thoroughbred "foreigner" and is more oriented towards the European market. It appeared a year earlier than the sedan and has a completely different range of power units. In particular, vehicles with petrol engines are sold in Russia: atmospheric 1. 2 (60 and 70 l.) and 1. 4 (85 l. c. ), as well as inflatable 1. 2 TSI capacity 105 l. Gearboxes-5-speed ICPs (except 1. 2 TSI) or 7-speed DSG (only 1. 4 and 1. 2 TSI). There are two--Trendline and Comfortline Complexations. The price range (no additional options) is 472,000-641,420 rubles. There is a stock ahead of the head, but the low frame of the windshield limits the visibility of the high driver to the high driver. The closer ultra-modern forms of the form will, of course, be chosen by Solaris-another example of "string" of design, where the pushed lines of the body are conjugated with relief and precipitous faces. Efficiently and attractive! This is exactly the same as Hyundai's current stylistics. Inside is a perfect match. Not surprisingly, there are no direct angles and flat surfaces. Much attention is paid to the quality of decoration: materials and design. It looks far from a budget-solid, but presentable for a species, a lot of small bright details, and an obvious kinship in formalizing with older models of the more expensive segments. True, in the year of beauty the practicality was impaired. Elephant's and the high men are not calculated at all. And if this is not so critical behind the wheel, there is a limit of 175 centimeters behind the wheel: the roof starts to push the top of the top. Carcassettes-in the base, the heating of their parking areas-starting with the version of Comfort Rat, and not even a very tall passenger in the back seat is not comfortable Polo-on the contrary, impersonating a healthy German conservatism. The design of the body exactly corresponds to modern corporate trends of Volkswagen-it is a very classic sedan, almost Passat, but in miniature. That is the beauty of it-so much is the philosophy. It's an interior. It has a strict German order-straight horizontal and vertical lines combined with the correct shape and the pleasant, dominant matte blackness of the finishing. Postulat-nothing should distract a man while driving from driving-here is almost fully implemented. Therefore, there are no new features specific to the Polo. But it's not possible to make a mistake-this could be just a Volkswagen. You can't brag about the Polo salon, either. But at the back, it's a little bit bigger, but there's more room in the legs than it was on Solaris. And the roof isn't so chata. It allows to sit in the second row of the passenger with growth and 180 cm. A 2-foot driver can take a hard drive, but he sees more than Solaris, so what does the car look like better? Uniquely to answer difficult-both in good terms, they have bright family features and similar defects. A man of average height sitting in the second row, the roof on the top does not crush Wo Polo's usual carcasses. There is no way to warm the area of their parking lot here, there is nothing to say, on the course of the Solaris dynamic, easy to manage, quite stable and quiet in the passenger car. Everything is great as long as you observe the speed and the ideal level of the road. However, the rudder is almost unburdened by feedback, especially in the near-zero zone. But he's quite enough. But as soon as you get into urban traffic and traffic rates go down to 20 to 40 miles an hour, and you have to move in the retinas, and where on the streets long overdue for the repair of the roadway, the suspension begins to unpleasing "bubbling" on small roughness and loudly on the big. Solaris is a nice car, but only on good roads. At times it is not enough energy intensities of suspension, but at high speed-feedback on the rudder of the powertrain (in our case 123 l. c. and ACP), by and large, is difficult to fight. The motor and "machine" are well coordinated, the acceleration is expected and the transfers are switched gently and practically imperceptable to the driver. But one claim is still-an ACP is not too modern, just four steps, without the option of manual transmission. Not surprisingly, with a sharp increase in the supply of gas, the "machine" does not go too willingly to the lower gear and the fast overtaking should take a "zor" for the reaction of the ACP. True, if you rest on the menu, you can choose a regime that saves the fuel, but naturally, it is a little bit worse for the acceleration of the acceleration. What does the Polo answer? A little more general noise in the salon. But his timbre is annoying with much less than a Solaris suspension. The engine is called Polo, but it is enough to stress the feeling of agacity of the acceleration. Polo is a well-balanced car. He's got a high water flow and a lot of energy intensity of suspension. There are no claims for accuracy and tiveability of the rudder. Starting with a much higher level than the opponent, the easing of the move, the energy intensity and the less noise of the suspension and the good feedback on the steering wheel. The "car" here is where the modern-6-step, sports and manual regimes. It allows you to avoid typical Solaris "occipals" when you change the transfer to disperse. The back sofa is off for two passengers, head restraints are also two, though three-seat belts are formally a 5-seat vehicle. Multi-function handlebars with mobile phone control, engine start button, dynamic stability system-the Family's top pick privilege. The "machine" is available in all levels except the Base and is combined with both engines (1. 4 and 1. 6). In the version of Family, the alternatives to engine 1. 6 and the "sub-machine" are not valued almost equal, the rabid popularity of both cars is easy to explain-modern in all respects and well-equipped, they start with quite sane prices: Solaris-from RUB 399,000. The dollar rose by 12 kopecks to 70.12 rubles. The "Koreans" have two variants of the motor-1.4 (107 l.) and 1.6 litres (123 l. c. ), and the "German" one-1.6 l (105 l. ). Both machines can be picked for a choice of 5-speed manual or automatic (except base versions) gearbox. Technically, Solaris offers five levels of equipment, while Polo only offers three levels. If you look at the base packages, they are almost equally unrich-the steering amplifier, one (on Solaris) and two (at Polo) airbags and a modest electric bag. In this case, the difference in equipment with the minimum advantage of the "German" is the price of the "Koreans", but also with a very small margin. In general, the price/equipment ratio is almost parity. However, sales statistics show that the largest demand is for the rich picking. In our case, both Solaris and Polo with a maximum of "Farsh": Family-for 639,000 rubles, respectively. His income was 75,5 million rubles. However, if you take the Polo Highline with Premium package to maximize the machines in the wealth of the equipment, the VW will be 36,000 rubles. The Hyundai is more expensive, but still there will be only two pillows, and such "phenençek" like, for example, a button will not be provided by a button. And the phone line for the phone will be an extra, overhanging, not built-in, equipment. These are minor, but comfortable and in part paraphernadas for this segment, but on Solaris they are. That's why it's the most complete Solaris pick. The back of the sofa is equipped with three head restraints, but it is stamped with a hint that it is convenient to sit together. In the top of all seats, all the seats are upholstes of high quality Livon fabrics. The seatback of the second row of seats and the mirror with the fillings in the body color are also options. They are equipped with "high" versions-Comfortline and Highline version A version of Highline is provided with light-alloy 15-inch wheels and front fog-lamps Replica. " Since the start of sales, the Polo sedan has been a huge success for Russian buyers. In January-April 2011, it became the most popular Volkswagen model-in four months, it sold more than 10,000 cars. Efficient technologies, excellent active and passive safety, traditionally high quality of assembly and materials, the permanent design of Volkswagen helps the new car to reach a new level in this segment. Andrey Gordasevich, head of the Volkswagen-Solaris PR-service, is the first Hyundai car made at a Russian plant in St. Petersburg. The main goal of the developers was to create a modern, comfortable car, fully adapted to the Russian road and climatic conditions. The number of Solaris models sold has reached almost 30,000-and this is only in the last four months! In April, the car became the most selling foreign car in the Russian market. Denis Petrunin, Managing Director of Hende Motor CIS Totad-There are two ideologies that collide with specific models. The Korean school attacks designer innovations and the wealth of equipment. The German is consistent with the chassis and powertrain settings, "beats" the competitors rationality of picking and recognizability of their machines. Andrei Kochetov, the editor-in-chief, will be emotional rather than pragmatic. In conjunction with the "Polo" machine, it is better to control the thrust here, while on Solaris, there is a gap in the ranks of the ACP. In addition, the Polo for passengers is preferred- his backseat is much more spacer than Solaris. Andrey Yesov, Editor
