Seven across the vowels

It is necessary to first convince everyone in the advantages of the compact original crossover, praise maneuverability, passenger chassis settings, adaptation to urban life, emphasize the rationality of the planning and size of the cabin and suddenly take a 7-seater car in size after 18 months! Approve: It is universal, more preferable as a family vehicle. What for? Why? And how did the H-trail, with whom they will probably cross if not sizes, then in price? Approximately with such skeptical thoughts I went to the presentation of the new crossover. Rather, not new, but in general, I get acquainted with Nissan-Casca + 2.
The gain went to favor
And if you drop a diligent cultivated need for additional places (for them an adult is better and not surprised), do not bike on reasoning about choosing a crossover with the possibilities of mini-Wen? Then it will be easier to agree with the creators of the car: Cascai + 2 is prettier than a fellow in size. Undoubtedly, he retained a certain courage of charm, but, stretching and as if he was matured, became more harmonious and proportional.
In the interior of the elongated Kushka should not look for fundamental changes. Well, except that a number of rear (sorry, medium!) Seats got adjustments and added 140 l volume of luggage compartment. From its floor and grow two additional places for those who are below one hundred and sixty.
Body as such has changed more thoroughly. It is not only in the increased height, length and database. Other became the front and especially the rear doors, which made the landing more comfortable. Side windows, trunk door, geometric salon parameters have changed. In a word, only the design of the interior, the set of engines and transmissions and the front part are preserved from the previous couch, approximately the windshield rack. Even the suspension and the steering amplifier had to be reconfigured, because the car became a bit harder, moreover, in the carrying capacity, it added significantly.
Reserve of definition
Probably to blame former furnishings, control bodies, neat, nonsense interior. Once at the wheel, plus the second, instantly forgot about the novelty so easily and naturally the same 2 liters and 140 gasoline horses accelerate the sensory car. Flexible, confident acceleration, well-coordinated, explicitly in the topic of the work of the 6-speed mechanics, the usual hum of the motor, breaking into the salon after 3000 rpm.
It is remembered by the previous version with very careless, noisy pendants were good, interesting handling. Yes, and this car rulits itself just great: easy, perky and very reliable! In the behavior, she does not have anything unusual, however, seeing how surprisingly the car takes the intricate serpentines of the French Alps, you begin to think: is it preferably preferable to behavior, short-passable version? Need to compare!
In the meantime, pay attention to the suspension. It turns out that Casca can be not only elastic, but also comfortable. It is completely silent, without sharp stools overcomes most of the irregularities. Without believing sensations, turning on gravel: No, the car really changed became much more friendly to the driver and passengers. Comfort, of course, not in excess, but the fact: Casca + 2 protects well even from Koldybin.
To reinforce the sensations, I move into a diesel engine (perhaps, and such Casca will someday appear in Russia). But this is clearly rougher in the chassis settings, it is not so elegantly managed and shook noticeably stronger. No, let me in a hurry to us yet!
One thousand
From skepticism about the extended, as a dachshund, the compact crossover and the trace is not left. Moreover, Cascai + 2 turned out to be a really attractive car not only harmoniously folded, but also correctly driving. It is perhaps more interesting than the basic fellow, at least a 2-liter front-wheel drive version is. He would get rid of a fairly conditional and, in my opinion, not very sought after a third row of seats, then the competent Parcourt will succeed!
In the meantime, you have to pay: for large sizes, capacity, variety of interior transformation options and additional passenger places including. The expected increase in the cost, alas, 2000 euros. _x0008_
Nissan Qashqai + 2 Attempting to instill a crossover manner of an exemplary family man turned out to be very successful.
Between Ven and Universal
No matter how the relationships with an additional number of seats in Cascais + 2, it is impossible not to evaluate the solid potential of changes laid down in the design of the crossover, especially its rear. Here and an increase in the opening of the fifth door, and the appearance of a special compartment under the trunk floor, in which, in addition to things, is supposed to be removed the roller curtain removed when using the seats of the third row. And another solid set of adjustments and transformations of a separate passenger sofa: it can now be shifted by 240 mm and, naturally, to add in various variations, as well as adjust the corners of the tilt of the back.
