Test Drive SsangYong Kyron since 2004 SUV

Lost Dear - On Caps

Mileage, organized by Sollers 600 km from Perm to Yekaterinburg, the stitch on the most beautiful places between Europe and Asia. The route in Sunnodniki Sangen did Sergey Klochekov.
Even in the title of local special sites there is some romantic mystery: who and when they lost this road? What does the cap look like? No less interesting: whether all this will be the Korean-Russian Southwalk.
The first day was driving Kairon with a 2-liter turbodiesel and a five-speed automatic machine. Until the first specialist (by the way, the Yermak rally is actually carried out here) I don't need a four-wheel drive on an asphalt road. Diesel with a direct injection confidently pulls a two-tone car in a gentle rise.
Testing on the rally highway (Radan grader with high-speed turns) Kayron stood with honor. Rolls, of course, are Velic. But excitement is excitement. At the end of the route, bringing a long nose in a deep turn, Cayron dropped the right front tire from the disk.
Special suction steep rise entry into the ski track of a risking track. I connect the front wheels by turning the wheel to the right of the steering wheel. Trusting him until it stops, just in case, turned on and reduced transmission. With a skuffing speed Kairon stormed the mountain, confidently and calmly. The possibilities of the motor, clutch and not very fit for dirt tires were enough with interest. From the top of the mountain is a stunning view of the Green Taiga Sea.
The name of the Merzala River is well hammer with a night temperature +5. In the morning, the special examiner is a lost road of 20 kilometers as abandoned thirty years ago Taiga.
Rector, too, with diesel, but more powerful 165 hp, and constant full-wheel drive. Forcing streams and puddles of an unknown depth. Places deaf: Mobile phone does not work and even the radio does not catch any station. Well, the crackle in our walkies disappeared at the beginning of the site. Fortunately, the products carefully laid in the car were not needed. We finally left the Taiga in the town of Warm Mountain. Rector, like the younger brother Cayron, perfectly coped with off-road. Only later on the service in Nizhny Tagil, a short-time failure of one of the diagnostic sensors was found: most likely, it did not go through mud baths.
We again on the asphalt, according to which it is sometimes not easier: the coating breaks reach several meters in length and to half a meter (!) To height!
The last special examiner, who conquered Reston the rise on the cap. The slope that we stormed on Kyrona near the Chusovny Void! Here the road among the age-old trees is very narrow, slippery, abounds by fragments of rocks and very, very cool. The front wheels suddenly burst into the stones, and the rear fell into the waters. The turnover is above average, but the moment, even multiplied by the torque converter, is not enough to turn the wheels. I try to roll back half themeter back car drags to the tree. True, a meager section appeared for overclocking. Rector did not stripped the boulder's pass, splashed the water from the crystrine and crawl further!
Down crawled with a whisper, turning on the HDC device that limits the speed of the descent. Gaza pedal is released, the car moves with a walking speed, but she also seems great
Furnish a 120-kilometer throw on the excellent track of Nizhny Tagil Ekaterinburg. Here you can relax in a comfortable chair, making sure the sagnes are not only able to cope with the real off-road, but also comfortable on the highway. Not by the same notable roads to the cap ride. _x0008_
