He despised all the canons and rules of the automobile society. He doesn’t have everything like normal cars. The strange design is only the visible part of the iceberg. For example, the type of body in profile is clearly a hatchback. Well, now there are all -wheel drive versions based on road machines, only ... There was no traffic ancestor here. And the fair lumen and huge wheels unequivocally hint that this is a fashionable SUV now. Okay, why not be a hatchback. But then why does he need attributes of serious all -terrain vehicles: a frame, a dependent rear suspension, a rigidly connected front bridge? Well, we agree to consider the assetion a small all -resistant with an unusual body. Excuse me, where is the reduced gear as without it on the off -road?
Who is he? We'll figure out.
If you want your car to be shown a finger, the asset is the best choice: everyone is staring! The traffic cop at the post, by which we law -abidly swept at a minimum speed, made such a grimace as if ... I don’t even know what could hit the hardened officer of the road police? And ten minutes later, on the Moika, who jumped out of the new focus, the uncle clatter his tongue and sincerely admired the beauty of the action. The tastes, as they say, do not argue. In the cabin, the skin is adjacent to a simple combination of devices and buttons scattered along the panel in a picturesque mess. Despite the fair height of the car, the cabin is not high: a frame is hidden under the floor. Planting behind the wheel will arrange a medium -complex driver, it will not be too spacious tall. But the seats are good: hard and comfortable, as if made in Germany, and not in Korea. There is enough space behind, but this is achieved due to a very low seat pillow. Raise her, and the passenger will rest his head into the sloping ceiling.
The trunk is catastrophically small: very small and with a huge loading height. Under the floor, a narrow pancake is hidden, and even below the frame and air. If you need to carry something, you will have to go together, giving place the rear passengers to the load.
Since it didn’t work out to go to the country with the family and the belongings, let's try to enjoy driving. The two -liter diesel is first conceived, and then gives an acceleration worthy of a much more powerful gasoline engine. Only now it is not worth it to trample the gas pedal for a long time. At high speeds, the motor acidifies and roars more than lucky. The automatic box works perfectly, sorting through the gears quickly, timely and almost imperceptibly. The cabin is noisy, but in the framework of decency. But the suspension ... it feels like you are going on a heavy alternate. Unevenness is transferred to the body rather roughly and are not added. In the next turn, the stabilization system was heading. Is it too early? So the car is rear-wheel drive and the same as part of the suspension: at the back of the beam on the springs, in front of the two-lever. The front line is connected forcibly, there is no interdosseous differential. Maybe try to find ourselves outside the roads? According to the gifted viscous spring country, the action creeps confidently. The machine allows you to go in in the case, preventing the wheels from slip. With a good road clearance, you can not be afraid of bumps and holes, but we did not dare to call in this dirt, although in the eyes of the photographer there was a frame with spray in all directions. The lack of low gear, a rather low front bumper and some plastic curtains under the belly were embarrassed.
In a couple of days, I had a word for the unusual appearance of the action and stopped, opening the garage, scared of the spider gaze of the headlights. But I still did not understand what this car with the capacity of the car, the habits of the SUV and the constructive solutions of the army SUV is.
