Hyundai Galloper 1991 test drive - 1998

Black and white

Galloper Innovation - So Hyundai called its brainchild, with appearance more resembling the fruit of the imagination of a tuning company than a serial car.
 
Innovation is not like its modest brothers. Of course, Hyundai Galloper II guesses it, but not at once. The front bumper, the protection of the crankcase, the extensors of the wheel arches and the more powerful wheels under them, the door pads, stylish thresholds, the massive spoiler on the rear door and the original covering cover of the spare wheel radically transformed the car. One gets the impression that you are not an old acquaintance, but a completely new car. From the modest conqueror of the off -road, Galloper turned into a city dope.
 
But the salon has practically not changed (only in some places there was a fashionable finish for carbon now). Informative instrument shield, a multimeter rollometer, a climate control unit, a radio in the same place (very low) - everything is as before.
 
Only a armrest thrown out on the right side is upset in place of the driver. He is too narrow, and the forearm on him, especially in winter clothes, practically does not fall.
 
The places from behind did not increase. It is understandable: the body has not changed, as it was three -door, it remained. Therefore, the trunk is small. However, if necessary, you can fold the rear seats.
 
A 2.5-liter 105-horsepower turbodiesel with an intercooler is installed on the car. After we dismissed an Innovation one and a half hundred kilometers, we can confidently say: this engine is ideal for the car. The first thing that struck us was his very soft and silent work. Even unenvoyable, he practically did not give out his presence. And after the arrow of the coolant temperature sensor occupied the middle position, the motor was listened only to acceleration.
 
Innovation is equipped with an automatic KP that deserves a separate praise: acceleration is dynamic in almost all transmissions, there are no characteristic failures during switching, the acceleration is very even, as if a variator has been installed on the machine.
 
Naturally, we did not fail to try the handout-after all, innovation is a real SUV, albeit who was in a nearby.
 
The inclusion of the front bridge significantly affects the dynamics of the car. It is as if they begin to slow down. But this does not matter when you observe how, tightly clinging all the tires behind the snow and showing a slight demolition of both axes, Innovation ultimately directs exactly where the front wheels are turned, in our case, in our case, in summer rubber.
 
Having twisted this way, and we came to the conclusion that even with its short base, a car on a slippery coating behaves very dignity. It was only annoyed that with straightforward movement in uneven areas, it is strongly cozilit, but this behavior is characteristic of three -door SUVs.
 
Turning on the lowering gear, they tried to climb the hill, but the Innovation almost immediately rested on the base of the high -rise of the bumper. We did not want to explain to the owners of the car, where and under what circumstances he was torn off, and therefore they abandoned the ascent.
 
And yet I wanted to check the work of the lowering. To do this, they went into deep snow. There our innovation (as translated from English Innovation) felt much better. Drivers of cars sprayed along the highway watched with interest as a large black car, like a boat, was floating across the white field. The reducing gear work allowed the SUV to confidently move into the interference without slipping. The rear differential of increased friction did not remain indifferent. As a result, we could not put Innovation, although, frankly, we did not really strive for this.
 
We liked the new Hyundai. We advise those who like to be in the spotlight and who have $ 24,600, look at this car, which has a very attractive appearance and outstanding running qualities.
