Junior Premium

Who sees in them the car "sufficient" size and with excellent dynamics, a little more comfortable in the city than the primary car of the middle class, which are valued at the level of their younger brothers to the average motor. "Super-senior" price range in many respects similar in ideology to the hot hatchback, only for those whose financial means twice as much. Them closer sedan (or wagon) and an elite brand. These machines combine universal notions of practicality and spaciousness in every day with great dynamics. For that price you can ride a well-equipped cars a class above: it is a choice few who appreciates above all, it is able to drive and oplachivat.Raznye approaches, the desire and types of owners. Different engines, transmissions and drive types of machines ... When often have to respond to questions concerning the vehicle, you notice that 80% of them are stated as: "What is the" treshka »BMW?» Absurd right? However, after this test, I was much easier to short answer to this question. The BMW 3 is different, Audi A4 - expensive or a lot, Mercedes C - it's expensive, but you can save money, and Jaguar X-Type - good until it loses its modesty. Mono or turbo? Audi A4 Model interior, high-quality design, modern engines, excellent sliding properties. The current "Quartet» Audi - a good and successful car with the experience, and version 2,0 TFSI Quattro is the most balanced of all. It is powerful enough to fill each trip and drive to feel the benefits of permanent four-wheel drive, but restrained enough to fuel consumption remained within reasonable limits. Its ground clearance is adequate for peace on our roads, and it is well behaved at higher speeds. Quattro is not too easily and quickly, but reliably controlled and tasty, balanced and all-wheel drive car with that portion of understeer, which provides a comfortable stability, but it does not make fun of the bends. Transmission - a clear "mechanics" or "machine» Tiptronic. The traditional unit with sport mode and manual shift. All together - a successful combination of properties for a single vehicle for all cases of active life and times of all goda.Na our test car traveled, decorated like a forced version of the A4 DTM Edition. The main advantage of such a performance - luxury front seats Recaro. The only thing that Audi gives other participants the test, so it's spacious rear: tesnovato.Za lower price tier "quartet" of the two-liter four-ring is responsible (130 hp..) Machine with two-wheel drive and continuously variable transmission Multitronic. During its debut this good, from an engineering point of view, the unit won the majority of experts. CVT is very efficient use of the possibility of a modest engine when you need to give maximum acceleration or to maintain a constant speed on the highway. However, the time pulling away blurred. If one wheel is in a small hole, the engine speed will increase as long as the machine does not "jump" forward. Traction control also leaves the impression due to the acceleration pedal all reactions are blurred, like a vessel with engine telegraph. Today, there are examples where the best work performance variatorov.Zato salon brings nothing but joy. Even in a budget version of the A4 you get famous interior decoration, which meets the standards of cars a class above, and trimmed thin skin, perfect ergonomic rul.V cornering car "pripadaet" on the front outer wheel suspension allows for a significant roll, which caused delays and confusion in making the maneuver. Understeer is clearly expressed, and reduces the efficiency of CVT using taxi-discharge gas supply, "Four" did not know. Of course, we can not say that the car travels is dangerous or very badly. Mandatory minimum standards for today's active safety, he is gaining, but expect more from Audi. "Quartet" - the machine with a longitudinal engine: initially available in both four-wheel drive with center differential Torsen. Its true face - it's Quattro. Constructive potential of the car is exceptionally high: it gives the feel RS4, able to effortlessly control 420 "horses". A modest modification is offered only upscale interior ambiance, but a nice imya.Dvuhlitrovaya monoprivodnaya "quartet" of our test - not the top of the line. You can buy a 1.6-liter and 102 liters. with. $ 33 000.2.0 TFSI Quattro in our test car was presented, executed in the same line of interior furnishings and finishes, like a forced version of the Audi A4 DTM Edition. We had no engine, "overclocked" to 220 liters. with. and six "mechanics", but the front seats were luxurious interior Recaro.V - inserting a carbon fiber, but a combination of leather and Alcantara on the steering wheel. Outside - bumper with small gills. Also, carbon-looking spoiler on the trunk lid and front bumper lip, stylized racing splitter. He was not brought much joy in the city, as spoiled him on the curb - it one second, but everything else - pleasant dopolneniya.3.2 Quattro has not participated in the test. Such a machine with a 255-horsepower engine costs 65 thousand dollars and is responsible for the very top of the line Audi A4. However, this is not the end of the song: on the S4 and RS4. Weight klinkaBMW 3-Series Sharp cheekbones, a daunting sight, the belly "in itself". The proportions, shape and spirit of the warrior. Swordsman. No boxer. It starts with the hierarchy of the Legion model 318i: Base "treshki" two-liter gasoline engine with 129 hp. with., only one of all, anyone can send in a psychological exploration of the bar in a million and a BMW rubley.Esli you come to each other, here you could do it once. In the ergonomically perfect chair, squeezed between the driver's cockpit panels, cotton grows at the door. Feet on the pedals, hands on the wheel. If the right hand releases the rim, he will surely be on the lever KPP.318i on the go - a real BMW. No discounts and no motor ogovorokBazovogo much, but it is present not only the car accelerates quickly enough to all of life is not gone forward, but also with passion. Let and self-conscious. Feedback on the pedal is not dray, but momentary, and the character and charisma will not let up the attack squad, but it is enough to captivate the beauty, left her alone. Exemplary and spacious place to "gallery" - has the advantage of "treshek" harder: when the hall is full, the 318th power is no longer peerless drive hvataet.Sovershenstvo six "mechanics" and calibrated pedal unit offers the right to say: "engineer" in the case of 318i - great choice and great opportunity to save a few thousand euros. The chassis can surprise accustomed to modern human BMW endless passages: the compression and rebound suspension work on a much larger extent than would be expected from them even in my wildest dreams. Exact controllability of the machine on a soft, long-travel suspension and power-hungry - a good tradition and a loyal horse BMW, who walked for several years on the sidelines, but was again saddled us (Russians) to radost.330 xd revolutionize your idea of ??the possibilities of heavy fuel oil, unless it is did not happen. On the specific impact, power and emotional richness acceleration the engine to the best (!) Vysokoporodnyh of petrol engines. 231 hp. with. and six and a half seconds before the "hundreds" at a rate of 7.5 liters of diesel fuel in the combined cycle - figures that are rarely seen in relation to the same avtomobilyu.X-Drive - Plug the drive system on the front axle wheels. It works perfectly paired with the system Dynamic Stability Control DSC. If, however, turn off the system, the behavior of the car on the pavement becomes very difficult and nervous, but not so on slippery surfaces in winter you can enjoy a predictable and reliable behavior of the classic sliding polnoprivodnika moment distribution. Net kayf.Kstati, the Russian winter and the roads: the letter «d» adds 50 kg, and the variable «x» is equal to an additional 100 kg. All this comes at the front axle. Powerful "treshki" The Germans put a low - for flights on motorways to two hundred. Working moves suspensions are reduced. It drags two circumstances. The first - the stiffness. 330 xd - a very tough machine: the vast majority of tougher road vehicles in general. However, work moves so small that even a high rigidity does not provide how something acceptable to Russia energy. Ordinary and regular waves and the joints of asphalt, not to mention the "speed bumps", lead to severe puncture 330 xd. «Treshka» BMW - very good and confident in the database is holding its party in all price ranges. In any fiscal layer can be found successful configuration of the machine, but the choice of top version makes sense to test drive a ride on various roads. BMW 318i, despite its label, has a two-liter "four». BMW 320i or one kilogram of not more difficult, but with the same two liter offers 156 hp. with. and 200 Nm of torque. The difference in price with the 318th of more than 100 thousand rubles.: A "horse" is a hundred evro.BMW 320 d - 177 liters. with., $ 42 thousand and the ability to save each den.BMW 325i can be equipped with all-wheel drive x-Drive with a supplement to basic D34900 D3000 for gasoline classic car capacity of 218 liters. s.Maksimum series - BMW 335i. 306 liters. with. for $ 68 tys.Novaya M3 - just wait. To start the car with a V8 will be in a body "coupe." Happy is he who hvataetJaguar X-Type style, softness, comfort ... However, no standard set of automotive terms dryish. The fact that in Jaguar, - not at all comfortable: good ergonomics, low vibration, noise and dust concentration. On board the Jaguar - bliss and repose: feel the difference. "Little brother» Jaguar - the largest in our test. But he kept on the sidelines of the total European party golden youth is not so much because of the propensity for good fullness, but because that did not shy about his humanity. Jaguar - the most alive. It's full of small gaps and "not ideal". That they do not allow for a second forget that X-Type - a product of human hands, but not powerful computers that are all figured out, optimized, believed algebra and finite element method harmony proposed by designers and engineers. Body panels driven home is not ideal, the clearances inside the walk, and there is a small design "dirt": for example, the loop fastening seat belts are mobile enough to stand in line with the belt: Fabric "zazhevyvaetsya." Junior two-liter gasoline engine - V6. This "six" in a modest amount: it is fascinating. It is small, but sounds like a V6. To understand what the X-Type on the go will not in ten minutes. All begin with disappointment: terribly soft and long-stroke actuator brakes on the "short" and light the gas pedal. Very soft, compared to competitors, suspension: delay, banks, klevki. However, we are dealing with a very nice riding car. Just in the old style. Today, a good chassis that can operate properly with a soft settings, you can count on one hand. Jaguar X-Type from among them and has excellent well thought-out "truck." It is so soft, almost lulls, but you can not catch a Jaguar on the fact that the buildup was frightening. Delays in the adoption of maneuver naturally bigger and handling not put any records, but the rigidity of the elements elastokinematiki matched precisely enough to stretch the processes in time and own pace car was not a secret or surprise to the driver. The machine is solid and harmonious enough to feel it with your extension and not be distracted by driving more than walking in the park allee.VNEShNOST characteristic X-TYPE. It is immediately clear - before you Jaguar. It differs from all over the continental colleagues. Big, soft, old-fashioned. Inner harmony machine is able to help find her and voditelyuTrehlitrovy car - it gain 75 "horses" under the hood, plug the drive on the rear axle and 20 thousand dollars in cash seller. The machine was faster and heavier. Dynamics - 7.5 seconds to first "hundred" - a significant figure. Style stayed with the car, but to call her behavior as can not be verified. Steering wheel is still easy, but it is not clear: keeping traffic lanes requires more attention, and gives less pleasure riding. This suggests alignment with severe stiffness and suspension dynamics, and attachment units, and the price of 60 000 - kachestva.Nachalnaya version X-Type - also two-liter engine, but with a diesel engine of the same working volume. Exotic option for us, nonetheless, very interesting. He - the only costs less than a million. 130 hp. with. - More modest than the 156, but almost double the fuel efficiency at a lower cost car should particularly interest those who are in a hurry. Mileage 965 km on one tank - an important indicator for travelers. By the way, there is a X-Type 2.5 AWD version universal.Srednyaya equipped engine 196 hp. with. and is able to exchange the first "hundred" in less than 10 seconds. The initial version of the Classic is 1.19 million rubles. or $ 46 500.Verh scale - the three-liter car, which went on the test. For powerful version there is only one, maximum, equipment Luxury. Four-wheel drive Jaguar Traction4 - standard on versions 2.5 and 3.0 measure silyMercedes C-ClassZvezda on the hood - an important stroke. Despite the fact that this is part of the exterior, the right thing it is perceived from inside the car. And when you look at it from behind the wheel and does not matter how long hood separates you from it. The main thing is that it est.Mercedes-Benz - the most modern in our company, and by definition should be kept in mind when thinking about the coming changes in the development of standards for the class. The exterior of the new C-class - high style. Discreet chic: here without innovation, but the approach to interior design shows a new C200K. And finishing materials, and interior design is now much easier. For old-school fighting the dashboard, but when the mind rests in a plastic steering wheel, is to look for moral support only a multi-shift paddles, but the star on kapote.No aid comes quickly, and, above all, on the road. "Basic" at now (in the next year there will be C180K) 184 hp. with. carry you into the world of Mercedes gently and quickly, leaving no time for grumbling about the finish, which you do not notice the road. On the way, you are in a very high-profile test of the cars in their modest versions. However, he is the most expensive: the lead with a margin of $ 6000.Kombinatsiya comfort, control and power supply creates an excellent sense of confidence and enjoyment. The suspension does not ask the driver to spend attention and peace of mind to look for flaws in coverage, but all teams steering the car complies with the minimum of delay and without hesitation. Controllability is excellent, and the balance of the machine and high-quality chassis allow connoisseurs of pure sensations refuse the aid of electronics without running the risk of running into a surprise. We can not say that Mercedes does not disqualify a driver from the road, but for a machine that employs a number of active electronics, the feedback is excellent. Complete the same work and active safety systems in Mercedes, traditionally, most peredovye.S350 - the top line. 272 hp. with. and 65 thousand dollars. Good suggestion on the relationship of power, status, configuration and price. The machine is much added over time, and a sense of safety has become a sense of power. At the same time preserved a pleasant feeling of lightness and fluidity in the management of hoda.UPRAVLYaEMOST, stability, and power consumption. The car feels good at any speed and on any type of dorogMercedes-Benz has shown himself not only the most expensive of our test participants. He was also the most stable. Versions that are at the bottom and top of the model line, do not have qualitative differences that lead to speak of them as two different machines, which combines the body shape. The only difference between Mercedes quantification: C-Class abruptly or C-class is easier. S200K is a conservative C-class only for the time up to one, while in Russia there will S180K, a working volume of which will coincide with the plate left (C200 also has a working volume of 1796 cm3). It will develop power 156 bhp. with., a more appropriate "to start a conversation" with the client. Wait for the car 1.067 million ($ 41 800) can be after the New goda.C230 - addition to the lineup that awaits us in the fall. Moderate version of the machine will get 204 hp V6. with. and will be sold at prices starting from 1.281 million rub.C 280 - three-liter V6 engine with a capacity of 231 liters. with. and the dynamics of dispersal to the first "hundreds" of 7.2. Prices start from USD 1.354 million. (About $ 53, 000). Among the many interesting options that remain beyond the basic configuration Classic, note the spare tire instead of the sealant. REZYUMEBMW third series debuts all confident.
