Hyundai Trajet test drive since 2004 minivan
Seven -haired
Seats are charged into the salon of this minivan if necessary from two to seven. Set in any set
Cargo van? A parking neighbor, who looked out the grass window, looked in surprise in surprise on a bare and even, like a billiard table, a carpet. Only two places? Or maybe these holes in the floor for seats?
Protected! And as if five more chairs appear from the magician cylinder lying compact cubes behind the machine. Now we will deal with the arrangement of furniture.
So, the first version of the transformation of the shelter of the trade we already know just a truck. Only the driver and the passenger are traveling nearby, but from behind more than two cubic meters of space. It is hardly appropriate to transport building materials or agricultural products in this villi-Veluric room, but the stack of clean boxes with something is quite easy.
Option No. 2, station wagon: 2+3, and a large trunk at the back. At the same time, two chairs remain in the garage. Unlike the salad seats of classmates, the seats of the trade simply stick into the nests on the floor with four scrolls-stkening legs. The principle of fixation is like in the Kalashnikov assault rifle, that is, everything is on latches. Squeezed and took out. No tool is needed. It is only necessary not to confuse the seats in places from right to left, given the location of the adjusting handles and locks of seat belts.
But, having a slightly richer imagination, you will not design the interior of the minivan, as in a banal station wagon. And try, for example, option No. 3: 2+2+1. We do not put the right seat of the second row, but we stick on the left in the third row. Thus, while maintaining a 5-seater salon, we get the most convenient access to the luggage through the right rear door directly from the sidewalk. Yes, and the passengers of the expanse of the zigzag corridor now passes from the stern door to the torpedo. It turns out more convenient than in the minibus, any of the riders, without interfering with others, takes his bag from the floor and jumps out in the right place, and the driver immediately leaves. There would also be sliding doors, like the main competitor Kia-rocked, but, alas, swinging on the trade.
Option No. 4 4-seater limousine. We put two chairs of the third row, leaving the whole second in the garage. As a result, we get a huge airfield for suitcases right in the middle of the cabin everything in sight, everything is at hand, you can instantly go with things under the sign of the stop. We especially recommend this option for transporting fashion models even the longest legs in the world in shoes on tall studs will not reach the seats of the first row, no matter how much you stretch.
Option No. 5 Office. It differs from the fourth addition of one row chair in the middle with a folded back in the form of a table. Sitting in the third row, it is equally convenient to go out both on the right and on the left.
With a complete set of seats, only a small baggage from behind will remain
If we go with a sample, then the table in the very center of the cabin will be available to everyone, including the driver
We make room for baggage. And if not enough, take the seat in general
The services of passengers of the second row are folding tables, as in an airplane
The grid in front of the back door is very useful for the salon floor, for example, purchases from a supermarket, will not slide on the ground
Having closed, you will come up with a dozen more options, not counting those that are possible theoretically, but are unlikely to be convenient for someone. As for a fully charged, 7-seater salon, this is rather a rare case for a family grass. On an excursion or picnic with three children, father -in -law and mother -in -law yes, perhaps. But if in the cottage, then one or two, apparently, will have to be planted, otherwise where to put sumyshi with food and mother-in-law? However, if the company buys a trajet as a minibus (by the way, it is much cheaper than such multi -seater cars of foreign production), then the full headset of the seats is what is needed.
Without leaving the car
If someone is tired of discussing the number of places, we are mercy behind the wheel. The first thing that caught my eye in a driver’s chair, an amesical box sticking out from the steering column in American. A handbag in the usual place also does not park brake leads a pedal under the driver's left foot. The effect of impressive to get from a driver’s place to the passenger, or vice versa, here you can with a light movement of the pelvis. How to do almost every American film: move, I will lead! For Europeans who have accustomed the world to the partition between the front seats, it probably looks like a comedic trick, because they even have minivans (for example, Sharan and his relatives) sit at a dead end with a way out of their door. In Hende, the opportunity to freely switch not only to the right, but also to the rear seats causes a storm of enthusiasm. Why go to the pavement, looking around so that they do not tear the door, and taking a dirty shower from under the wheels of trucks, if possible right on the sidewalk? By the way, the tract with a mechanical box in this regard is less convenient for the tide of the central console with the gear lever (as on the same corniva, honda and minivans from Citroen and Peugeot) complicates the passage. Especially when the low -growing driver moved his seat to the torpedo. And this is an extra argument when choosing a machine with a machine gun.
A machine gun sticking upwards here looks unusual here, but what a spacious around the driver’s chair!
12-volt sockets at the back door will come in handy on the halt coffee, watch TV
The opening button of the gas tank hatch on the armrest of the driver's door
In family travels, minivan is all the more valuable as a house on wheels. And the passage from one room to another through the street (bathhouse, and across the road locker room) would be flagrantly inconvenient. But in our hande, all life is inside. In order to go to the stern and rummage in the baggage, to restraint the unblinking offspring, to put someone, transplant, fasten, do not need to jump into the puddle and clap doors, letting dust or snow storm into the salon.
And for every day too I let the motor and, turning the steering wheel selector into the drive (and conveniently!), I go out into the street. Noise insulation is impeccable motor, exhaust and tire sounds, as if somewhere behind a cotton mattress. Despite the soft, comfortable suspension, the rolls are not expressed in corners, unless you deliberately try to put the car on your ears. And if you do not hooligate, then your high, flush with the drivers of the SUVs, landing and does not have to wind the steering wheel at high speed. But with maneuvers in crowns, you will shift the steering wheel with pleasure at 4.7 meters of the length of the trade is surprisingly twisted just like a golf-class hatchback. Brakes due to the long stroke of the pedal seemed not sensitive enough, but you quickly get used to this feature.
An impressive (140 l. P.) The power nevertheless does not give a waste to the grass, and even with a full passenger interior. But this is the consideration of fuel corresponding to a high and heavy machine, perhaps, everything that is worse than our middle class sedan. In all other respects, he is a full -fledged car substitute for everyday travels.
Is it worth a sheepskin? The tract is the most affordable minivan in our market. So far there are only two of his modifications. For $ 22,990, dealers offer a 2-liter machine with a mechanical box, air conditioning, an electric packet, two Air Bags and on stamped wheels. Exactly the same, but with an automaton it costs $ 24 190. The nearest rival, cornet, is a little more expensive. The prices of other representatives of the minivanena tribe, both European and Japanese, for the average owner of a heap of children, no longer climb into any gates. Apparently, a bad example of Volkswagen, who offered a sharan in 1995 at the price of two golfs, was contagious. As a result, meager sales.
Is the tract capable of making minivans popular with us by transport? It is quite possible, but, oddly enough, he will have to compete mainly with his sister sonata. The latter is collected in Russia, and in equivalent configuration it is cheaper than a traged for $ 6,000, that is, a quarter. If you can overpay such money, and you really need the capacity and versatility of a multi -charged salon, albeit occasionally, then the choice of a minivan, and not a sedan will be justified.
Through two oceans, but not expensive
The tract was introduced in Russia only in 2004 in the non -stitling version. Although in Europe the model has been known since the fall of 1999 and, in addition to the 2-liter engine, is also sold with a 173-horsepower six of 2.7 liters or a 2-liter turbodiesel with a capacity of 112 liters. With. And in Korea, the tradet appeared back in 1997, becoming the ancestor of the whole tribe of the minivans, including under the brand of KIA, acquired by the Hende Motor in 1998. The tract is imported to Russia from Korea, but thanks to a reasonable pricing policy, it is slightly cheaper than the Kaliningrad Kia-Carnival.
By the way, trajectory comes from it, for example, the trajectory comes from it. And in this case, it means a route, a journey. Agree, is very suitable for Minivan intended for family trips.
