And it is impossible to resist the temptation. This much we the people all the time walking the razor's edge and on the verge of foul play, but because the car must be not only fast, charismatic and comfortable but also safe. Although the latter argument is always in the shadows: fatalism - also feature the Russian character. Angel HranitelVOLVO Looking at the new XC60 XC60, willy-nilly, imbued with respect for the designers Volvo: so what-what, and to create beautiful cars they have learned over the last decade - solid hit the jackpot! The same applies to the study of interior design. Clearly the desire to get into group segment of "premium", but without fanaticism and excesses. The only options that are packed with an assortment XC60 - all sorts of sensors and radars, blyuduschie layout, the distance from the vehicle ahead and blind spots on bokam.I, I must say, this is the test I had a scene, after which I seriously regret that not driving at the time at Volvo. Before the Toyota Corolla, which moved me on a Moscow street, something happened, and exactly at this moment, as an evil, I was distracted by the bright shop window ... second confusion was enough to overtake Mercedes GLK Japanese sedanchik and smashed him " Fillet "part. GLK damage was less fatal, but it calms down slightly. The Volvo crash certainly could have been avoided, because the electronics are precautionary, and won the time probably would be sufficient to stop the car. In general, jokes aside, but every one of us can happen to such a nuisance, and on this background, policy Volvo, targeting the development of active safety systems, no longer looks like a paranoid person suffering from delusions presledovaniya.Opyat same, I was lucky. During our test ride was on the two models Volvo XC60: gasoline-powered T6 turbo and D5. Believe me, these are two different cars! If the first Volvo is easy and mobile, literally soars above the road, then the second ... Yes, there is acceleration, but it is through force, closing song on the throat. In addition, the torque stumbles upon thoughtful "automatic", and often speed up too late, just remember the typical jokes about slightly inhibited the Scandinavians ... Well, the curtain a few words about the suspension. Traditionally, for Volvo, XC60 to none. The claims do not arise only in a perfect pavement, on the same road all the broken thunders and does not handle the blows of fate. Again, that "incontinent" wheels are suffering not only XC60, and XC90, S80, V50 and, to a lesser extent, XC70, so that is the distinguishing feature brand, which, apparently, it is proposed to accept. Vidi-mo to Volvo owners not to drive on bad roads, and how something might happen. PampasyVne asphalt Volvo XC60 is doing well thanks to its impressive for this class ground clearance, and storms of snow virgin do not cause trouble - affecting common roots with the Land Rover Freelander. However, a more serious off-road vehicle radically contraindicated. When you create a Volvo designers even thought about off-road exploits and strongly limited the geometric cross-glamorous plastic bodywork. Not in favor of the XC60 and tells the complete absence of the auxiliary electronics. ZatsepiloLegendarnaya overhanging the central console, "trick» Volvo, which appeared several years earlier at S40/V50, played me a cruel joke. Evaluating the usability formed her shelves, I put the wallet back with all the documents and safely forgotten about it. At a subsequent search of the documents are gone day - looking at all the test machines, and just would not have found if you do not accidentally remembered hiding. Ball molniyaINFINITI EX35 What happens when you cross a snake and a hedgehog? You do remember the children's joke: a hundred yards of barbed wire! That's how to Infiniti EX, FX35 and reminiscent of carrying the genes of a sports sedan G35. Like, similar to the crossover, but the ground clearance - like a "light vehicles." 145 mm of asphalt to the bottom of the illusions of off-road abilities are not closely rozhdayut.Mne here! Even in the absence of overt flaws in ergonomics to accommodate the wheel can only man of medium height without a drop of excess weight. More solid machine body hug from all sides. The head is also at risk to get out of the hatch on the roof ... Maybe it's scale model of the FX for the students of elite universities? On practicality can not speak: on the second row of seats with a decent space comfortably accommodate only children, but three children from a sophomore? By the way, the trunk - is also one of the most modest in our quartet. All this is true, but evaluate the Infiniti EX from a utilitarian point of view, of course, possible, but it's not quite right. He and the other for another: The car is built around the motor and for the sake of the motor. Only those who can not realize the potential of 302 horses, will continue on an old man grumbling about crowded and impractical on the streets after poezdki.Kogda snow or asphalt poured agents, deal with EX - not as easy as with other uchastikami our comparison. Engine, ripping off a car from a place, like a gust of wind causes a feeling of disaster: Infiniti slips for each energetic start. Stabilization system in its struggle with the demolition permit and drifts tangible slip and wheel torn from the hands - do not relax. Does not compensate for slippery surfaces and the power of the engine well tuned, gathered in a sports suspension, which makes the management of acute, and the reaction - fast. However, all this is true only until such time as you will not guess the machine to translate into the "snow". Its activation puts everything into place, making it easy and agreeable EX. Pampas EX35 - frankly a car. Purely highway settings ESP explain the complete helplessness of the slightest diagonal display, even to cross the snowy parapet remaining after harvesting machinery, and sometimes problematic. Bumpers low hanging over the road, and the clearance is such that even in the snowy backyards all the time clinging to the bottom of the ruts. And there is no guarantee that will not have to do fitness with a shovel. ZatsepiloObidnye for luxury brand with the quality of piercing the interior details have left their mark on the perception of the car. Against the background of the details of the perfect GLK and Q5, Infiniti on the test, we found jammed in the half-open position of the driver's ashtray and falls off inside the handle locking tailgate. PoslevkusieInfiniti EX - car driver, but because he left the most vivid impression mount. The machine is designed for dry paved roads, meandering paths and serpentine. But, unfortunately, the ride it happened in Moscow and Moscow suburbs on unpeeled after snowfall the roads. It's the same thing as going to the rink in pointe! Q5 DiplomatAUDI last decade with the advent of each new Audi gossips gossip about the crisis of the genre designers from Ingolstadt - so all models are similar to each other. The new Q5 is no exception, no new features and finds in it, no matter how look, everything is familiar to boredom! Even compared to the progenitor of the genre of the first generation Audi Allroad car easier and more boring prizemlennee.Interer also executed in the spirit of all the other Audi: A4 or compare with, for example, with the A6. There is practically no difference, everything is familiar and comfortable as slippers. More perfect salon for the convenience and ergonomics than the Audi, not to find, and let well enough alone, why change anything? But the habits of a mini-crossover puzzled. It seems clear and precise response, the machine is controlled by instinct, the power literally look like a continuation of his own body, but the driver did not trust, stability can not be disabled does not enjoy fine tuned chassis. It's a shame! After all, even the Audi A8L limousine allows the driver to create sophisticated with it all, whatever you want, and Q5 ... Nice toy - the ability to customize the character of the machine under him. Adjusted yields everything and stiffness, and severity of reactions, steering sensitivity and even the accelerator! Dense, even a little zubodrobilnaya suspension may appeal to the driver, but hardly will appeal to passengers with a weak vestibular system - on the domestic road shaking mercilessly. However, because of all the four Audi is capable of "hitting" on all the money in the lane, gravel or paved road, delighting the calibrated suspension work and a clear upravlyaemostyu.Plamennoe heart, two-liter turbo motor - even though the most humble of working volume - "lucky" very confident, let and not as temperamental as the opponents. Unfortunately, closer to our comparison engine 3.2 FSI in Russia has not brought. Seven-step "automatic" with lightning speed, without any delay and hesitation, skirmish transmission - transmission gorgeous! And most importantly - the car is not demanding the level of driving skill, and drive it wants each day, occasionally igniting. PampasyUdivitelno, but traditionally long for all the Audi Q5 at the front overhang is tailored to the bounds of decency and is not a radical limitation of geometric terrain. Moreover, the electronics that simulates cross-axle lock is configured well. A natural limiter on the roads - the tendency Robot S-tronic overheat: the classic "machine" out of the asphalt is preferred. But the plastic underbody protection was too brittle to test the machine hung only fragments. ZatsepiloMotory Audi are renowned for high consumption of motor oil. When I first opened the trunk, immediately drew attention to the half-empty gallon canister with synthetics. Soon brought on-board computer to display a formidable sign that the engine oil level has fallen below the minimum necessary, and pour 1 liter. Keep your eyes open and with it carry any stock not sold in every village, high quality synthetic motor oil! White begemotMERCEDES GLK 350 with a hard slam and clear weapons clatter driver's door in a parking lot in front of a business center, well-measured pace to run up the stairs past the elevator on the fifth floor, hang a coat in the closet, turn on the computer and waiting for download it leans back in his chair, inadvertently looking at his watch ... and think that after nine hours, no matter what, you'll hear again like after you shut the heavy door, floor prizhmesh stiff accelerator pedal and steering wheel turning plump, taxied to a painfully familiar route home. And there come what may - even a cork, although free traffic, you're happy to wind up on the odometer GLK a couple of tens of kilometers of positive emotions that increase male samootsenku.Dushevno! Interior - as an antique chest of drawers: solid corners and rectangular shapes, and no flirting for the sake of their wives and girlfriends tescham. Do not like it - do not eat! But convenience is not to complain about, well, except that instead of turn signals constantly turn on cruise control, but with multi-function joystick look easy. By the way, it is not clear why, after the positive experience with gearshift position selector for automatic transmission ML and GL, GLK at it again took place between the front seats ... What has become less convenient, it is certainly also now possible to miss the transfer of two Account! Progress at the car the powerful, all felt the severity of this iron. Acceleration is aggressively but smoothly, without jerks and bustle. The Mercedes and you can ride fast and aggressively, and even enjoy it, but the desire itself will make a fuss, and very quickly - this is the same atmosfera.Esli Infiniti and Audi are very difficult to resist the temptation to break the speed limit, then you can GLK life traveling and never seriously exceed the permitted limits! And by the way, in spite of its Nordic character, it was the most GLK gambling and predictable on the ice Khodynka, while remaining extremely predictable and controllable at any speed. Electronics, if it is disabled, adjusts the driver's actions only if it is clear that slip neupravlyaemoe.A here from the smoothness of motion, I was expecting more. A feeling of comfort is achieved by the Mercedes ignore small irregularities, but on the larger suspension still folded. The most common irregularity of large cities - rubber speed bumps - GLK intersects with the undignified crash, even Mercedes cars do this exercise better. PampasyGLK very confidently surf the virgin snow, climbs the hill and to cope with diagonal display, off-limits as talent, traditionally, the geometry. Ground clearance is small and the development of plastic fins too vulnerable. Incidentally, for the GLK is provided and an optional off-road package - not once, as the experience of testing the older models. ZatsepiloPotryasayuschaya attention to detail the interior. Even the more expensive model Mercedes the last generations have any noticeable flaws in the selection of materials and their quality. GLK does not deserve the slightest reproach, and if the parallel-perpendicular style accounting for taste, then more of a good salon in the class is not found. SnaruzhiZaplatit more than half a million rubles and more ... less than a year ago, medium-sized crossovers premium embodied all the most-most of that to which was to seek every self-respecting businessman. To live outside the city, have a big family and, most importantly, engage a dynamic and promising business. That's what these machines were needed. Today, it looks far less rosy. Although crises are, and how the medium-sized businesses meet the imminent revival of business activity, largely depends on the quality of its vehicles. Yes, and will meet, as in the pre-crisis days, "on clothes." In this regard, the preferred look is seen Volvo, which is fresh and departs from established earlier stereotypes. Although the literature on the spot and «V», which is well read in the song "face", and its rays are also dynamically distributed over the drip line on the side. Now the image of a trapezoidal shape complements the silver slide, which is decorated with Scandinavian-willed "chin." Of course, more memorable and "eye" headlamps. "The Shield" lining sink Audi uses in its style a long time, and it works correctly on the image of stability, for that matter, and decorative grille Mercedes ... But in his guise of debating two principles: the soft and plastic - hard and plane. The winner then one or the other side, from which the image is clearly losing integrity. Can not be said about the Infiniti, which combats the spot is the unity of form and its plasticity and detail. Even difficult to distinguish from this ensemble one thing that can be taken as a proprietary item. Brand it! On the side of the Japanese car and most non-functional for the SUV category silhouette, but this does not want to think. Contrast to this is "boxy" side GLK, which strictly follows the shape of a utilitarian function. Behind the lead conciseness and elegance of the Audi luxury and tradition of the rear lights Volvo. VnutriDrayverskoe beginning in interior arrangement of this class is a responsibility on the relevant parts: the steering wheel and instruments are emerging as important features of corporate media. So, on a pillow steering printed "shield» Audi, Volvo and have her form again remind the letter '«V». Immediately noticeable and nice cut of seats on the same topic and the "floating console". Mercedes in the same straightforward, as the outside. But solid. Style Infiniti traditionally based on details that are skillfully arranged in a symmetrical and, in general, unpretentious instrument panel. Summary 1 MESTOMercedes-Benz GLK 350 + Very balanced car with no obvious flaws, design for the amateur two MESTOAudi Q5 + Simple and sophisticated interior, good handling, rigid suspension 3 MESTOVolvo XC60 + The issue of security built into the square, and precisely defined style, great motor, loose suspension 4 MESTOInfiniti EX35 + very balanced car with no obvious flaws in the design-lover RezyumeVy probably wondered why we have brought the issue of deprivation of rights. It's simple: in Russia, as we know, the roads are not very good, the signs are placed not very reasonable, but no markings visible everywhere and always. And it is "charged" crossovers - the best weapon in the struggle with the second Great plague - the roads, which means you obviously "got"! Well, it is impossible to Infiniti EX trail 40 km / h, going round holes and waiting for the end zone as the mark "overtaking is forbidden." Patience, sooner or later inevitably burst, and ... what will happen, this we somehow explain in another article. EX35 - the provocateur, the tough car in our test. And the surest way to transfer to a scooter for the next 4-6 months, since soon the summer. Second in the ranking, of course, Audi Q5, his blood is colder, more severe nature, but the urge to fly in dreams and reality is obvious, and most "pleasant" speeds are significantly higher than prescribed in the SDA. Behind him striding confidently Volvo XC60 with a motor T6, though he wraps a pilot care and active safety systems, but it is too easy to lift the character, and longs for open space, of which in the Russian Federation could not be found.
