Only in comparison can be understood what is better, the same rule concerns cars. In this article we compare two crossovers of Japanese origin. Why Toyota and Mazda are so often compared? The answer is simple, everything is associated with the fact that the pricing on cars in two companies will be approximately the same, so in case manufacturers produce cars of one class, then why not compare them.
Toyota and Mazda - long-standing Russians of Russians
First, let's talk about the equipment of the car. Immediately striking the fact that Toyota on his SUV delivers only two types of engines to our market. The first of them is a two-liter gasoline unit for 146 forces, and 2.5 liter also a gasoline unit for 180 forces. Unfortunately, diesel versions on the territory of Russia are not available. But the Mazda company to its customers is ready to offer a little more.
To speak more specifically, versions with gasoline engines are available on sale, one with a volume of 2 liters, the second - 2.5. It is worth noting that gasoline versions of motors in Mazda are a little more powerful than competitors. Also, the Japanese car brand to our market supplies one diesel engine with a volume of 2.2 liters, outstanding 175 hp So at a minimum of Mazd's motors choosing a victory unambiguously.
However, in terms of technical and electronic equipment, Toyota immediately breaks forward. Rav4 are equipped with xenon optics, as well as cars have a blocking of an electronic clutch that moves the torque to rear axleand has the ability to complete the stabilization.
The price of RAV4 starts from 1,459,000 rubles, which is actually a lot. But the prices of CX-5 begin from 1,349,000 rubles. In both cases, cars will be equipped with two-liter engines and mechanical transmissions.
Appearance
If it comes to appearance Toyota RAV4 2016, then before the design of this model was positioned as a female parckarter. Because of this, many were skeptical throughout the life of the crossover. However, today Toyota designers decided to fix this problem. The car tried to add more stringent forms and lines. This work was made in order to attract and male audience, but the exterior of the car came out quite controversial. Perhaps the designers too stretched the front of the car, namely the bumper, because of which it seems that the headlights are very planted.
As for the design of Mazda, it can be noted that it was CX-5 who became the first car of the company that embodied the new design philosophy. From the very first sight of this SUV, more aggressive body lines are seen from what the impression is that the car does not only look more pronounced, but also more "drive." What is only one squirrel headlights? However, there is one disadvantage, due to their rapid forms, the car seems smaller and lower compared to the competitor.
Summing up in appearance, you can say one thing, a brighter appearance has a Mazda car. It will suit more for a young man, while the buyer will receive a stylish design and all the same capabilities in terms of capacity. Rav4 In turn, it is more suitable for quiet drivers, appreciating the comfort and space of the car.
Salon Mazda CX 5 2016 and Toyota RAV4 2016
Car salons are drastically learned. Mazda has a more laconic interior decoration, without unnecessary parts and forms. However, the layout of the front panel itself is very similar to the decision of the German company, namely BMW. The multimedia screen in the Mazda is slightly drowning in the torpedo itself, which protects it from the glare, the interface itself is quite clear, but today it is slightly outdated.
In RAV4, a completely different story. Designers decided to establish an angular front panel, which makes an impression of massiveness and reliability. However, no matter how bold there was no solution in the design of the panel itself, there are some details that are clearly lacking quality. For example, the entire torpedo is made of hard plastic, as well as the quality of the buttons and other parts of the front part leaves much to be desired.
Landing behind the wheel in the car is just as much different. In Rav4, the seats are provided not only for a thin bundle of the driver and passengers, but also under the larger type of people, that is why Toyota will fit better in terms of comfort for more mature people. In CX-5, the cabin and seats are more compact, the seats have a more pronounced side support. Therefore, this choice is suitable for young people or middle-aged people.
From the point of view of ergonomic, Toyota again wins, the designers have placed more different shelves and cases for various items. Mazda in turn in this issue is more modest.
If you transfer to the rear row, you can immediately notice that due to the fact that the RAV-4 doors are larger, landing back will be more comfortable. Also, the rear row at Toyota has great spacing compared to Mazda.
Driving and test drives
If you compare both cars in motion, the driver will immediately notice the difference of car ideologies. Mazda will be faster and dynamic, while the fuel consumption will also be modest. The car is very confident feeling in urban conditions and is always ready for active ride. The suspension works fine, the car itself is less than twisted on turns, which is why more accurate controls. Also informative will be not only the gas pedal, but also the brakes along with the wheel. What is not enough cars in the event of a version with automatic gearbox, so it would be stealless petals, it would add more emotions to the driver in the active ride mode.
Toyota in turn is a bit hard, in the dynamics of overclocking up to 60 km per hour of the difference compared to CX-5 will not be noticeable, but if we talk about higher speeds, then the car in this case Dipping the speed is very lazy. Passing turn is accompanied by rolls, from which the speed on such devias will be lower. But this is all only in urban conditions. If you go on a light off-road, then RAV4 will look a solid competitor. The off-road potential of Toyota is significantly higher than that of Mazda, so overcoming any obstacles will be easier to go to RAV4
Results of comparison
It is impossible to call some of the two cars presented better or worse. Manufacturers of these crossovers approached the issue of creating their cars completely from different positions. On the one hand, it seems Mazda is much more attractive and more dynamic, on the other - RAV4 is more spacious roomy and has off-road potential. And that is why the target audience Two PARTNERS will be different. In the case of CX-5, its buyers will definitely young people who are important style and emotions from driving. And buyers of Toyota will be family people above middle age, which primarily practicality is important in use.
Only in comparison can be understood what is better, the same rule concerns cars. In this article we compare two crossovers of Japanese origin. Why Toyota and Mazda are so often compared? The answer is simple, everything is associated with the fact that the pricing on cars in two companies will be approximately the same, so in case manufacturers produce cars of one class, then why not compare them.

Comparison of Mazda CX-5 and Toyota RAV4 - Logbook MAZDA CX-5 MOBY-DICK 2017 on DRIVE2
Having traveled a month on the new Mazda CX-5 a certain opinion about the car was formed. Now you can try it objectively to evaluate, comparing with my previous Toyota Rav.4. Cars of one class, are direct competitors, because the comparison is even more interesting.
By comparison: -Toyota RAV4 IV 2.0 AWD MultiDrive 2014 Comfort Plus - Compact Toyota Railway Rav4 Fourth Generation, equipped with 2.0 liter gasoline atmospheric motor, stepless variator and plug-in fully drive. Average for Rav4 Comfort Plus Comfort. Produced in 2014 in Japan.-Mazda CX-5 II 2.0 AWD AT 2017 Active - a second-generation compact Mazda crossover, equipped with a gasoline atmospheric engine with a SkyActiv technology of 2.0 liters, 6-speed automatic box Transmissions and plug-in. Average for CX-5 Active equipment. Produced in 2017 in Japan and already fully assembled in Vladivostok. 
Full size
Mazda CX-5 2017VS Toyota RAV4 2014
Walking on more significant criteria. And so, CX-5 VS RAV4.
DesignCX-5 in my opinion has a more interesting design at least because it is newer than RAV4. In general, CX-5 both inside and outside of the design has been fame. Externally, the car is very beautiful, there is a pair of raisins like grille, optics, interesting body lines / bends. Sitting to the cabin inspires even more, Bravo Mazda, the salon is very pleasant, high-quality materials, magnificent ergonomics. In RAV4, with this problem, it is more chopped, the nuances are not worked out.
Motor RAV4 I liked unpretentiousness. Whatever oil, which gasoline does not flood, the equation will still go, the pair seemed to him that he was just anyway. About CX-5 I cannot say such a thing, see what will show exploitation. But what was not in RAV4, the Duck is the dynamics of overclocking, which, with the same volume and power of the engine in CX-5, an order of magnitude better. And even beyond the lack of a start-stop function (in both cars).
The box of transmission on RAV4 is a bit buzzing. It was not strained after used to and knew that it was he. The automatic transmission on CX-5 is slightly kicking in traffic jams, which is typically for the machine. In general, the work of both aggregates is pleased, although of course the classic machine is valued more.
Connected full Let's drive this item for the future, because Assessing off-road capabilities CX-5 has not been brought. I will only say that the RAV4 test drives are presented as a car with a slightly more developed off-road abilities than CX-5. However, I like it more that in CX-5 there is no button forced blocking the full drive, it is connected by itself if necessary. Like more because in RAV4 because of his unsuccessful ergonomics, press this button on the go at the right moment is a whole story, it is only visible and you must first grop.
Suspendially the unconditional superiority of Mazda. The work of the suspension is simply ideal in comparison with Toyota. Small and medium road irregularities are not felt. Large pits reach very deeply. On the country road, the suspension is also expected to leave - the car goes confidently, without trembling and sembling. In RAV4, each unevenness was transferred to the salon very clearly. This is perhaps most strained in the chase.
Handling CX-5, having a hereditary inclination to more acute control, as it should be Mazda, steals much more interesting. Less rolls, comes in a ratio confident, reacts faster to the rotation of the steering wheel. The steering wheel of the sedanisco is light. The chalk is just enough.
Complete set of cars are approximately equal. Moreover, today with an equal price RAV4 has a pair of options more. In both cars there is everything you need for comfortable operation and some pleasant bonuses, such as navigation, LED Far and Middle Light, various assistants and so on. I also note that in the basic trifles Mazda Dobreye. There are automatic closers for all brakes and their backlight, the backlight of the glove box, the autopy of the doors with a bunch of adjustable locking torque modes, and other pleasant little things, which in Toyota, alas, no.
Noise isolation of this CX-5 out of competition. I propose to get acquainted with the post about noise insulation and everything will become clear. In RAV4 I can say about it forgotten.
Capacked earlier in the comments that the capacity worries many. In general, RAV4 is close to the reference content in its class. Much space on both rows of seats, a big trunk. CX-5 in numbers is slightly smaller, but in fact the following. Front space for the driver and passenger is enough. After you, behind yourself, I am also quite comfortable. The wife in the back row with the child in the car seat is also shy not feels. The trunk is due to even floor, more competent and ergonomic curtains and the absence of a grid, more spacious and comfortable, although, in numbers is probably less. The same stroller, bags, bags are covered without any problems, which is actually required.
QualityRav4 arranged the quality of parts, but CX-5 in my opinion made a better car both in general and in the nuances. The quality of the materials is excellent, savings are not read in anything. In the cabin, press and twist the different dac buttons are generally a pleasure that was not in RAV4, from the word at all.
Toyota and Mazdasam Mark Toyota inspired more globality, felt that it was a cargoant. Mazda is certainly not so. There is no low cost, it is simply clear that this company is less. Yes, less, but from this and exclusive. And one more nuance. Toyota, like a large corporation, there is Toyota herself - a popular segment, and Lexus is a premium segment. Mazda has only one brand. As a result, Mazda turns out a little more premium, because There is no possibility to breed models in different segments.
Summing up I will say that possessing RAV4 and there was no thoughts that the car is bad or something particularly failed. Rather, he went on it and did not know the trouble. And would go further a few more years, if not a sad case. Moreover, choosing new car Will blindly went to order a new RAV4, but did not come around for reasons independent of me. And with Mazda, everything turned out. And I am very glad that I have. Mazda qualitatively worked on the new CX-5, the car turned out very worthy! Those who are trying to make a pragmatic choice, do not envy. Of these cars, it is better to choose a heart (or soul), in which car is easier to breathe, chtoli. Both cars are good, without critical shortcomings and outstanding superiorities. I will add only to the fact that you did not regret that I took Mazda. Twice in a row take almost the same car at least boring.
That's all. I understand that absolutely all the nuances for one post do not decompose, so leave comments, we will understand what you are interested in or what you think unfair not marked. All good luck!

What is better - Toyota RAV 4 or Mazda CX-5
So it came a turn of checking heavyweights, so-called not only because of their own mass, but also due to the dynamic appearance and nature of cars. Crossovers, how to call them for a long time, today two, but what! Combining amazing external data and practicality, these cars test just a dream. And so we were given such an opportunity. We carry out a comparative review of Toyota RAV 4 and Mazda CX-5.
Toyota Rail 4 car
Immediately in battle
The fact that the car, almost any size and class, should look bright, introduced the Mazda manufacturers in the hard concept. It is no secret to control their cars is a pleasure. Although over time, the unshakable philosophy of Mazda changed and revised, its deep essence remained the same.
As for Toyota, the manufacturers of this Japanese concern promised to return to the release of drive models a few years ago. And the most bright is the intention of manufacturers manifested with the release of GT86 - car in style sports coupe. Although experts see the manifestation of a driver and in the design of modern Raving. 4. In addition, this car For many years, became something similar to the bestseller, having accumulated a solid luggage baggage from buyers.
Toyota Rav 4 about convenience daily exploitation Just perfect. Harmoniously looks at the body of the body and the strict "face expression" of this crossover is not as emphasizing the convenience as excellent ergonomics and the volume of the trunk.
As for the front panel RAY 4, with a layered structure, it looks much more pleasant to the interior of the monolithic Mazda CX-5. Yes, and all sorts of shelves of secluded type, naughty, and the like stuff in RAV 4 are clearly more.
But, to be honest, to get comfortable in them, you need a lot of time. For example, why do you need to put your phone in the tray under the protrusion of the central console, how do you offer to make manufacturers when it perfectly falls in the cup holder, which is located closer and does not need to reach it every time to get it? In addition, the buttons block itself, including the switching mode to the "Sport", exacerbating the reaction of the machine, is pumped somewhere deep under the central console. Why it is asked, it was, especially if the passenger, who wanted to turn on the heated of the seats, should ask for the driver, as it does not get to the button.
Mazda CX-5
As for the interior of Mazda CX-5, then it is designed for the classical tradition and all the buttons here in sight. Specially provided a large niche, where you can store a thousand little things. It is immediately under the climate control button immediately, and so much free space does not disappear in vain. I also liked that the cup holders are shifted back, and immediately behind the automatic transmission of Mazda, or rather by its selector, the multimedia control unit is located. Everything is comfortable and at hand. Although it is a little complicated to use this multimedia system. A pretty weightwind metal washer is installed on the block, but to be able to use it, you need to remember the location of the buttons. And at first, at all you need to look at the monitor and keys all the time.
As for the instrument panel, it is more successful in Mazda. Pleases a large screen for additional information and three wells made with designer taste. But Toyota Toyota tool 4 looks, to be honest, much worse. But special difficulties with the reading of information, and this, however, and most importantly, does not arise. Only now again, they give archaic in Toyota Raving 4 windows keys that offer automatic control Only the driver. But in Mazda on the contrary - all passengers.
Video Review car Toyota Rav 4:
Seats on Mazda CX-5 is just super. In particular, it concerns the modification of the Supreme car, where the chairs are covered with delicate skin, and the side support rollers are made in sports hard.
Also good and the seats of the top modification of Toyota Rail 4 prestige with roof rails. True, the upholstery of the chairs at Toyota are made much rougher.
On the test we have two cars of these manufacturers with an equal volume of engine 2.2 and with diesel engines, but the power of the Mazda CX-5 on 25 hp more. Interesting and the fact that manufacturers of Mazda CX-5 took care to release a modification that would have impressed by those drivers who mutted from unnecessary "bellsopped". Such a modification was the Mazda CX-5 diesel, executed as ACTIVE. There is such a car about 1,405 thousand Russian rubles. Parktronic is not installed here, there is no invincible access and electrically regulating the driver's seat. But everything is upholstered dear and pleasant to the touchcloth.
As for the RAY 4 developers, they thought about picky customers and released a modification called Toyota Rav 4 comfort plus, which is not so electrified. The modification is practically devoid of various auxiliary systems, such as monitoring blind zones, for example.
Whether in unison hearts are fighting
On the video test drive car Mazda CX-5:
Click on the start button and Toyota RAV 4 comes to life. True, in cold weather, on idling The engine ropes, as a tractor, but as heated it becomes much quieter. 150 horses Toyota Railway 4 in the conditions of urban ride, and in the country tracks, it is enough for a comfortable movement from one point to another. It is pleasant to always take overtaking on this machine, since the 6-step automatic transmission works just perfect. In addition, if necessary, it will be possible to use manual mode, and the transmissions can be forcibly switch to the selector. This situation can be relevant in the winter season.
Interestingly, Rav 4 with a popular 2.5 liter gasoline engine there are no stealing petals, and on our model they are available. In addition, it is also noteworthy, on the gasoline version of the RAX 4 nod of the lever in mode S, you can only limit the switching range by setting the upper limit above which the automatic transmission will not rise.
Diesel engine SkyActiv Mazda CX-5, which is endowed with a reduced degree of compression, as mentioned above, more powerful to Toyotovsky by 25 hp. It is immediately felt when cars accelerate. In addition, Mazda CX-5 suspension is tougher than and explained by the thrill when driving. But noise insulation in RAV 4 is performed on the manner higher than that of the Mazda CX-5.
As for turns, there is a pleasure on Mazda CX-5. Rolls are practically not felt, and the steering wheel of Mazda "Short", which in the intellectual plan is made ingenious. But the "lying policemen", found often on the urban streets, Mazda CX-5, to put it mildly, does not digest. These obstacles are advisable to pass carefully, otherwise the hard suspension will give themselves to know, and clearly blows will be felt in the cabin. Yes, and at high speed, noise from rubbing with the road surface of tires, in Mazda CX-5 easily penetrates.
Luggage compartment of car Toyota Rav 4
But in Toyota RAY 4 hide. Maybe this is explained not only to high-quality electrical insulation? After all, the suspension on RAV 4 is made significantly relaxed than that of the Mazda CX-5, although the producers of the current generation were made by the current generation to give a new model more brutality. This car rulits itself quite transparent, not having an obsessive artificial effort in the okolonulous zone.
Transmission and four-wheel drive
The operation of the transmission of Mazda CX-5 also admires. The automatic transmission quickly changes the transfer and the feeling such that the wheels with the engine are connected by rail. Such a feeling, in particular, develops due to the fact that the torque converter in the Mazdovskaya box is blocked in a wider range of revolutions. In addition, the European I-STOP system is installed on Mazda CX-5, which automatically jams the engine in traffic jams. The option allows not only to take care of ecology, but also allows you to significantly save fuel.
But Rav 4 such a useful option does not have.
It is worth noting that both crossovers are equipped today diesel engines With automatically connected full-wheel drive, which does not become such an advantage on off-road. It's just one thing to drive on a rascal suburb of the countryside before my giving or park a snowdrift, and another to show wonders on the off-road, like our Niva (why not?).
The moment when the coupling is triggered by Mazda CX-5 it is difficult to catch a novice that first got behind the wheel of this vehicle It may seem that the drive here is permanent, and not connected.
Rav 4 is not so. The rear axle connects to the case much tangible, and if you wish, you can block the coupling. As for the blocking of interstole differentials, it is simulated in this case by brakes.
Trunk car Mazda CX-5
Automatically turns on all-wheel drive and in sport mode. In this case, up to half of the total number of torque revolutions turns to the rear axle.
Here the luggage compartment at Toyota Railway is arranged in the same way as the interior is difficult and incomprehensible. For example, to accommodate under the floor spare wheel, Japanese engineers thought with clean Asian meticulousness, to build a real podium, surrounded by such scan that lose something valuable to loss there.
At Mazda CX-5, although the floor and smooth, but doubt causes the loading height, which is too vital.
Judging as a whole, both crossovers are equipped with fame and fully behave on the road. Their price is comparable, and the choice will depend on individual preferences. It can be said that the question of these two crossovers goes into the category of philosophical, where there can be no better and worst option. After all, in fact, accumulate advantages along the distance or show them on the finish the same thing.

If you have to compare Toyota RAV 4 VS Mazdacx5, then it is better to start from Toyota as a more traditional participant in our car market. The first generation of Toyota RAV 4 was positioned as a car for young people. That is why the framework of the crossover scheme was taken.
The car, as comfortable as possible in the city, rapid on the highway, on which, however, at any time you can smend "to hell on the horns" - it is this approach that the philosophy of the youth car from Toyota is most closely reflected.
And although the representative of the first generation of the family came up from the factory conveyor in the distant 1994, the car retained and developed the overall concept, leaving the disadvantages of children's diseases in the past.
Engine and chassis
We will agree immediately - we will discuss only the options for the configuration, officially supplied to the territory of Russia. In the Russian Federation, the Toyota Railway crossover comes with two versions of the engine, characterized by its volume: 2 and 2.5 liters, with a capacity of 140 and 180 horsepower, respectively.
Important! In both cases, the engine gasoline. Toyota Rav4 in a diesel version in Russia, unfortunately, is officially not covered.
The car has a permanent four-wheel drive, which is reflected in the name (RecreationActiveVehicle4 - a digit means four drive wheels). Speaking about Toyota Rav4, it is impossible not to note the possibility of blocking the electronic power intake coupling on rear axlethat almost turns the crossover into an honest SUV. Almost - not counting enough modest (according to the standards of SUVs) of the engine.
Exterior
Although the appearance of the car was conceived by designers as a youth, to the first generation RAV 4 at the beginning, the definition was firmly "stuck". And it is not surprising: on the background of the grutal jeeps characteristic of the era of the 90s, the elegant "PARQUITING" looked, at best, like the younger sister of the diesel offeper off-road.
Working on the Rav4 2017, the developers decided to radically change the situation - and, I must say, it was possible. In many ways, the spirit of time contributed to the Spirit of Time-april all-wheel drive giants, which occupied one and a half parking spaces, if they did not go to the past, they certainly stopped dominated in the city landscape. It is superfiling to fluctuate the prices of fuel or an increase in the consciousness of drivers who began to think more about the world and surrounding people - the topic of a separate discussion. But the fact remains a fact - crossovers ceased to be "undercurrents" among giants.
Plus, the designers themselves tried: more outstanding the bumper Rav4 recent generations resembles a powerful chin of a Hollywood superhero. Recessed headlights began to look more aggressive. Even too, according to some. In general, redesign in order to attract the male audience can be considered a successful, as evidenced by the dynamics of sales.
Interior
The interior of Toyota Railway - demonstrates the continuation of the ideas of the exterior: an angular front panel by all its appearance demonstrates similarity with the landers of the 90s, which were probably once the limit of the current owners of crossovers.
Designers of the interior decoration probably guided by the principle of "big boys - more toys", the abundance of the management bodies of various systems, all sorts of "twist", "switches" and "prescription" is emphasized in every possible way and is emphasized. The driver's "interface" of the car loudly and confidently declares that the place of a woman in this salon is right sitting (in the European left-handed salon, of course).
The Toyota designers clearly took care of the wheel of Raving themselves felt comfortably even the driver is quite large. About the orientation to a more mature audience says the old-fashioned design of the devices. The main message - Toyota grows and develops with its owner. The young and promising driver Rav4 1994 became the wealthy and respectable owner of the fourth generation.
Reference! Basic equipment Toyotarav 4 2016 will cost the buyer from Russia at 1,459,000 rubles.
Mazdacx5
And what can oppose the closest competitor?
Mazda CX-5 went to the series in 2011, one and a half decades later a competitor from Toyota. The car has already been developed, taking into account the experience of crossover crossovers, which made it possible to bypass many "rakes", which predecessors managed to come.
Thus, designers managed to reduce the mass of the main nodes and units without loss of functionality. The fact that the car was clearly succeeded, it also says that Mazda CX-5 two times in a row became a car in Japan - in 2012 and 2013.
Engine and chassis
Toyotarav4 and Mazda CX5 have the same volumes of gasoline engines - 2 and 2.5 liters, but Mazda CX-5 is represented in the Russian market and 2,2-liter diesel. Diesel power - 175 horsepower.
Scheme chassis - permanent four-wheel drive. Drivers reviews excellent operation of the hydrotransformer, which allows you to use the "automatic" even on off-road.
The European version of the Mazda CX-5 (namely it comes to Russia) is equipped with a rather controversial system I-STOP - "Intelligent Stop", which automatically turns off the engine with a long stop of the car, for example, in traffic jam, on the traffic light, railway crossing.
It is interesting! It is curious that mazda cars CX-5 sold in Japan, I-STOP systems are not. What conclusions from this follow - the question is open.
Ai-stop allows to reduce noise and emissions into the atmosphere, the engine resource is noticeably spent, which is not justified by a spear savings of fuel. Many are referred i-STOP system To the unambiguous minuses of Mazda, although there are no good reasons for that - the ah stop can always be disabled.
Exterior
When looking at the Silhouette of the CX-5 Mazda, it is impossible not to note the rapidness of the car, emphasized by numerous intensities. It seems that the shape of the body was given not designers and designers, but the opposite air itself "licked" the streamlined profile of the liquid metal.
But only have and back side: Thanks to the rapid forms, the Mazda crossover seems relatively more compact and low, which may not like convinced "jeepodes" for which the machine is an indicator of status and significance.
Interior
The first word that comes to mind when looking at interior Mazda. CX-5 2016 is concise. It seems that control bodies on the driver's panel are minimized. However, with a more detailed study, it becomes clear - the control functionality did not suffer in any way, just designers did not find it necessary to set it at the bottom.
The multimedia screen is recessed in the panel, which, firstly, it reflects the style that designers chose, secondly, protects well from solar glare and reflections of other people's headlights.
In general, the interior of the Mazda CX5 2017 is more "modern", futuristic, but is respectable than reminiscent of the recognized style icon in Auto - BMW.
Reference! Russian, who decided to become the owner of the official Mazda CX-5 will have to fork at least 1,349,000 rubles. If you choose at the price, Mazda is your option.
The results of the comparison of cars in dimensions are presented below:
Toyota RAV4 or Mazdacx 5 - What is better? Give an unequivocal answer to this question is difficult.
Mazdacx 5 and Toyota RAV4- typical representatives modern class crossovers. If you basically share the philosophy of the car for all occasions, then in any model you will find pluses and cons. well and final choice Lost you!
The fourth-generation sports appeared in the salons of the dealers in the spring, skipping forward created on the same platform Hyundai Tucson.. The latter, by the way, in our previous multiple won, pulling it out of the Toyota tires.
And here is a new intrigue. Will Sportage get a similar trick with a Japanese car? After all, in the RAV4 market for competitors, in its segment: in its segment, this crossover is a unconditional leader, Koreans are inferior to Toyota on sales. Another Japanese - CX-5 - last year has been restyled and now sold well, but in absolute values \u200b\u200bstill does not reach South Korean technology. Slightly less actively take Outlander, which last year also reduced retouching restyling - however, this crossover is not at all in oblivion. In general, we decided to gather a quartet of the strongest sandbox fighters - or, or rather, the parquets - and see which of them will be a badist and snarling.
The sportyge "of the first generation, appeared in 1993, was the most real sacrifice: a frame design, downward transmission, the continuous bridge from behind - in this form, the Korean jeep existed until 2004, when he was replaced by the second generation machine - already with a bearing body, without Rocky and with a fully independent suspension. The current, fourth Sportage divides platform with Tucson, but unlike it is not available in the Czech Republic, but in Kaliningrad. The greatest demand is used by a 2-liter version with a capacity of 150 forces, however, we chose the most delicious modification with a diesel engine of 2 liters (185 forces) and already picked up rivals."Like". With this word, I am ready to formulate my attitude to the appearance of the new "sporty". Another question is which punctuation sign after this monastery offer. Exclamatory? Perhaps that there is no: compared to the former Sportage it has become no better, but simply otherwise. I will not put a question mark - and so it is clear that the car looks good. How about dots? No, in this form it will look either too uncertain, or too romantic. Both options will notice, especially the last - carefully calculated by marketers product is completely deprived of romance. The car must enchant and bring money. But here is the question: how?
The inner world of "Sports" is almost flawless - at least if you perceive it from a driver's seat. For a complete feeling of "Premium", there are not enough two things: the memory of the settings of the front armchairs and the landing facilitating system with the departure steering wheel. Everything else is - right up to the ventilation of the seats. True, here we are talking about the top version of GT-Line. However, in more democratic equipment - with an audio system simplest and tissue lounge - the Korean crossover will not look pale!
I have not traveled to Korean cars for a long time. And during this time they made a colossal breakthrough! Appearance, I would recognize a kind of, but rather pleasant. In the rest, I liked everything: and a beautiful two-color salon, and the convenience of landing (immediately conveniently settled on the wheel), and an excellent combination of a 185-strong turboodiesel with a 6-speed "automatic". Mazda may seem a little bit more dynamic, but it is explained by the more sharp settings of the accelerator pedal and the steering wheel. Only in Sportage you can get so favorite options by me, like blowing deflectors for the rear passengers and the ventilation of the front seats, giving incredible comfort in the summer. In general, Kia makes an even impression than it really is.
It is quite convenient to sit on the back row, even despite the repellent wheel arch, and there is enough space above the head with interest. On the knees, there is also a stock, although in the background of Kia rivals is not impressive. Worse than the other: unlike the "Toyota" and "Mazda" doors do not close the thresholds and it increases the chances of stain when landing and disembarking from the car.
6-speed "Automatic"
it implies the possibility of manual gear shift, but there is no need in it - just switch to the Drive Mode in Sport
And in terms of quality pictures,
and by speed, and on the work of the navigation system Multimedia Korean car was the best in the quartet
Korean crossover trunk
not the biggest, but completely sensible, besides, a full-sized sprayer is hidden under the falsefol
In terms of convenience
for the rear passengers "KIA" is good: there is heated seats and various power supplies - socket on 12V plus usb connector
Handling left a pleasant impression, as well as smoothness: everything is extremely expected. The dynamics of acceleration is good, however, Mazda is still better: it does not interfere with the default "sport" of the pedal in sports and the unpleasant effect of the "sport" of the pedal in sports mode, when the motor holds turns, disinforming the senses.
The smoothness of the stroke also deserves praise: in this respect, Sportage is better not only in the past generation, but also all other participants in today's quartet. Yes, and noise insulation was at a high level - the drilling of the diesel engine sounds pretty muted.
Fells on the off-road I did not expect from Sports - built on the same Tucson platform turned out to be too highly vessel. However, KIA is much more adapted for rallers beyond the asphalt: it has better geometric patency, moreover, diesel in combination with the "automatic" allows you to more accurately control the burden. And if there were no absolutely high-speed tires Continental ContisportContact 5, Sportage off-road abilities would be even more beautiful.
Like other rivals, the basic version implies front-wheel drive - However, diesel cars like the one that we took for comparison with KIA have all-wheel drive transmissions to the "automatic". Alternative to diesel - gasoline modifications with motors 2 and 2.5 liters of SkyActiv family.
Noting the equator of his life path restyling, japanese crossover Still remains sharply: his appearance is not outdated either on the iota, and the salon is still pleased with the quality of materials.
Until today, I perceived CX-5 as a car, largely oriented for women. What was my surprise when Mazda showed himself as excellent family car - In his trunk, a large box was easily placed for my Labrador! But this is not only a practical, but also a very bright car. I was pleased with a very dynamic diesel engine and a beautifully selected machine gun, and from minor flaws, I noted that it was not the most convenient central armrest in front of a slightly confusing control of secondary functions through the display menu.
Despite the loss of "sports" in "Horses", the CX-5 turbodiesel has an advantage of 200 cubes on the working volume and an additional 20 Nm of torque - it is probably that these bonuses provided "Mazda" victory in traffic lights: from the site "Tse-Iks "River Other! The interaction of the motor and the box seems perfect - it is especially good. This is noticeable on the background by no means of sinless competitors. But even more pressing that this crossover is good not only in a straight line: refueling CX-5 in turns, test the powerful tides of joy - the sharp steering wheel is nice of pleasant severity and literally pisses with a reactive force, setting a transparent connection with wheels. Rolls are not too large, and the stabilization system is quite liberal. Surprisingly, the riding comfort turned out to be decent: even on the 19-inch wheels of Mazda, it takes irregularities quite calmly, not trying to unwind out of the inhabitants of the Soul's salon. Nevertheless, the smoothness of the course is clearly not CX-5: Mitsubishi and Kia to irregularities are more tolerant.
To work 6-speed
automatic transmission Beauties "Mazda" There is no single claim: transfers switches quickly, smoothly and absolutely timely
By logic of construction
the menu of the Mazda multimedia interface is significantly inferior to Kia, and with the Toyotovskaya system it turned out to be easier
Freight compartment "Mazda"
pretty capacious - and it could be even more if in the underground did not lay the dance, because of which the floor level had to raise.
In the quality of the decoration of the Mazda salon, it is inferior to "Sportage", and even then only the smallest. Soft plastic seems a bit rubber, but it does not spoil overall impression. Salon is especially great in bright colors - the furniture covered with perforated skin looks very premium. Accessories also produces a decent impression: Metallized handles and washers look good and, moreover, pleasant to the touch.
The multimedia system "Mazda" left ambiguous impressions. For a certain plus, it is possible to recognize the fact that it is possible to control it both by touching touchscreen and with the help of a circular controller located on the central tunnel. But working with a tuner is pretty strained: in order to change the station, you need to go to the appropriate section every time, while the entire list of available frequencies will be prompted. In part, this problem is solved by the introduction of the right positions to Favorites, but I would prefer to hang your favorite stations on the buttons - albeit virtual.
The rear sofa "Mazda" on the disappearance is comparable to the second "Toyota", but there are less snacks here - for example, in any of the CX-5 packages you will not find heating seats.
And if only two seeds are assumed behind, the central part of the sofa back can be folded, highlighting a valuable place for long-term places in the cabin with minimal losses of passengerism - no one else is capable of such a transformation feat. Nevertheless, according to the volume of the CX-5 cargo compartment, loses both RAV4 and "outlander".
Basic "Outlers" have a drive to the front wheels, however, you will not find machines on the "mechanics": we are sold exclusively two-winning modifications. But the diesel crossovers are not taken to us, therefore I had to be held a gasoline engine; and from two options - 2.0 (146 l.) and 2.4 (167 liters.) - The choice fell on more powerful. With such an engine, it is combined extremely four-wheel drive.
After the recent restyling "Out" began to look much more attractive than at the very moment of generations change: otherwise decorated front with new headlights and modern rear optics forced the car to look fresh. The cabin remained almost unchanged, although it does not have to grow on this: against the background of the competitors "Mitsu" looks worthy. Nevertheless, the complaint is felt in the interior design: the central console is tightened with a black gloss, and the inserts under the gray tree, which actually look quite decent on the door and torpedo. However, the skin is on the steering wheel, the selector of the variator and seats - it seems too coarse, and separate buttons seek memories of the last century.
However, rough skin could not spoil the impression from the front chairs, which were soft and comfortable. The rear row did not challenge special comfort, although it is ready to argue with "Toyota" according to the "Mitsu".
My family was in my family for quite a long time Outlander XL with V6, on which I gave a lot of thousand kilometers. Being a commitment to large hopeless engines and skeptically belonging to bloated turbines of small-calts and variastors, I was ready to put up with a strict decoration of the Salon of the Japanese car. Now, as I will see, the salon became richer, a touchscreen display appeared with navigation, and even a 2.4-liter "four" with the variator unexpectedly surprised her smastality. I liked the car in everything, the only marked disadvantage - on a very broken road when moving with a decent speed Outlander "floats". Mitsu will like a wide circle of buyers, especially since the crossover looks like a male one in black.
But the trunk of "Mitsu" is not only big, but also impressive. Access to it opens the electric drive, accompanying its work to a peak. The floor is quite high, however, a capable box is hidden under it, divided into two compartments. By the way, Outlander allows not only to fold the back, but also throw back the pillow of the sofa, having received a practically even loading platform, prostrate already before the front chairs.
Variator "Mitsu"
surprisingly configured: the car is easily touched from the spot, and from speed accelerates well, competently disposed of traction
Multimediana "Outlander"
according to the degree of retardation of progress, it is ready to compete with Toyotovskaya: the graphics outdated, the speed is far from modern standards
Under the floor there are grooves
for mounting the curtains: No need to think where to attach it if you need to use the interior for transportation oversized cargo
The planting process back is not complicated,
except for the prospects to dye pants about the threshold or arch - the Japanese did not wear them from the world of this door
Stop. And where is the reserve? She hangs outside under the bottom. Dirty? Yes. But it is full-size, and on the cast disk. And the trunk crashed when replacing the wheels do not have to.
Mitsubishi was the only crossover with a gasoline engine. Do you think the competition for acceleration he drained with diesels? How wrong! From the spot the car with a 2.4-liter motor takes a very famously and is quite well accelerated within urban speeds. The engine is quite actively reacting to the supply of gas, and the variator opens quickly into the zone of the maximum torque almost without a hint. The steering wheel of the crossover is light, but clean, so does not leave the feeling that "Mitsu" wants to steal. Come on, this is another question: when cross-speed, the crossover releases the front axis into free swimming, improved the stabilization system - by the way, can be completely disabled.
The smoothness of the course gives rise to mixed feelings: on the one hand, "Out" wonderfully smoothes small irregularities. On the other hand, the overcoming "lying police" is given the Japanese hard: he is hard to shudder with all the body.
Off-road "Outlander" talents are not called outstanding - this is not Pajero. Large swells and not the most trump combination of a gasoline motor with a variator do not give a crossover reason once again Go from asphalt on the crude ground. And although the coupling can be forcibly blocked, its fighting qualities leverals overheating, to bring to which it is not so difficult.
Of the three power units - a pair of gasoline "fours" with a volume of 2 and 2.5 liters and a 2.2-liter diesel engine of a similar configuration - we chose the latter. This engine goes paired with a 6-speed "machine" and full drive, while in the transmission of the 2-liter version the variator holds. Until recently, all "rafiki" were brought to Russia from Japan, but this year the crossover still got on the conveyor of the plant in St. Petersburg.
Our diesel RAV4 was not in the richest configuration and inferior in the amount of minced gasoline car, which we took to the test six months ago. The most significant losses occurred in terms of visibility: "Toyota" in the version "Elegance" unrepired front parking sensors, monitoring of blind zones and a circular survey system. However, the price list has recently been updated, and now all diesel "rafiki" go with parking sensors in the front bumper. However, there are no problems with visibility at RAV4 in any case: both in large outer mirrors, and an excellent look back into the electrochromic interior.
Driving a "Toyota" is easy to imagine a person of any sex and age. An instrument buyer will rate as the smallest loss in price upon subsequent resale and legendary reliability - I would like to hope that it has been preserved to this day. In my personal rating, "Rafik" did not fail a single nomination, but nothing special was impressed. The only thing that is worth noting is the suspension: on a good road, it seems soft, however, on a broken asphalt is pretty shakes. Dynamic possibilities at the level of the rest of the vehicles, and go at the speed in Toyota is also comfortable.
It must be said that "Toyota" in more democratic equipment looks more organic than in the top versions, stuffed with all sorts of good "on the most tomatoes." A little less than the claim and pathos - and the level of criticism is also reduced. Simple buttons and not too premium finishing materials? Think - because it is a Toyota, a mass brand. So it should be! And if you do not compare the "Rafik" with the "Mazda" or "Kia", then no dissonance arises. And it is impossible not to compare - because we collected four cars at all in order to celebrate each separately! And therefore, it is necessary to state: the interior decoration from Toyota for the current standards is very uncomplicated.
Unlike modification with a gasoline engine
But the multimedia system could be made more modern. If we talk about the functionality, there are no problems. But the interface, as they say, is no longer a cake: the charts are poor, the speed is not esteble. And this we still have no navigation, which not only slows down, but also extremely hrenovo translated into Russian: the lady, stamped in electronics, the phrases build contrary to language standards, and entering addresses is possible only with Latin letters.
Like "Mazda", "Toyota" is very careful about that the driver and passengers do not bother when landing: thresholds are hidden from dirt doors, so that the trousers will not work with all the desire. Having pleased the heating of the steering wheel and the windshield, which is rich in Elegance equipment. And in more expensive versions is also adding heating rear seats, equalizing RAV4 with Sportaga.
The second row in Toyota is pleasantly spacious: the floor is almost even, the ceiling is high, space between rows of bulk, and also the back of the sofa is adjustable along the angle of inclination by separate halves. And if you add them at all, you can increase the trunk, which is "Rafa" and so unusually spacious. For full freight happiness, it is not enough except that the electric drive of the fifth door, but in expensive versions it is provided.
2.2-liter diesel for power and torque is inferior to colleagues under the hoods of Mazda and Kia, and it felt: RAV4 is gaining speed not so reliative - although there is no lack of dynamics and here. But noise, the main source of which is the motor, is too many. And if the gasoline crossover can be called quiet, then diesel engine This is not said.
But according to RAV4 passability with a turbodiesel and a 6-speed "automatic", it is clearly better than a 2-liter modification with a variator: traction more, and it is easier to dispose of it. The geometrical parameters of the Toyota are not the most outstanding, moreover, the coupling that provides a machine four-wheel drive, with the active storm of off-road pretty quickly overheats.
Cars with conditional increased patency are one of the most important classes of new transport in Russia. It is that vehicles of this type are purely visually resemble SUVs, so they have certain benefits of exploitation in terms of style. Of course, some cars can offer and quite good permeability, especially in expensive equipment with full-wheel drive and all functions of the present SUV. But do not forget that you are dealing with the crossover. High-quality and conveniently assembled parquetnik ceased to be rare, many companies offered very attractive cars for Russian buyers with excellent design, good quality and excellent technical characteristics. However, not all cars with increased permeability are worthy of attention.
Today we will look at the top three very popular and very interesting crossover, which can make amazing competition in the market and actually become the first in all rated. Updates of these cars cause a real extension in the world of automotive journalism, and all new products in the technical plan are worthy of deployed articles on several reversals of expensive magazines. So the comparison of Mazda CX-5, Toyota Rav4 and Ford Kuga, presented in Russia, will not clearly be superfluous. Corporations from Japan and the United States have received excellent opportunities to realize their potential in the global market and have become among the most respected. Not least the reason for this was the development of such amazing crossovers with huge technical capabilities. Let's compare the characteristics, prices and configuration of the top three leaders.
Mazda CX-5 - Fresh model with excellent technique
The machine appeared relatively recently, but already won amazing customer reviews. This car took a lot from his older brother CX-7, but also left the authenticity and uniqueness that allows the Japanese to sell cars on all target markets. Appearing in 2011, the model has updated the style already in 2014. Today, the car is sold precisely in the version of this year, exposing a certain high bar for fans of Japanese active and functional technology. Very expressive technical capabilities make the machine even more desirable, and high-quality assembly and excellent performance of each module are amazed with its accuracy. The main features of the machine are as follows:
- the base engine is represented by a 2-liter gasoline unit with a potential of 150 horses, also eats gas engine at 2.5 liters and 192 horsepower for top;
- a diesel unit with a volume of 2.2 liters is in two versions - by 150 or 175 horses, but only a more powerful power plant is presented in Russia;
- the basic versions with the youngest engine have an anterior or complete drive, as well as a machine or mechanic, in other versions - only automatic and AWD;
- fuel consumption on all power plants is very democratic in comparison with competitors, the car saves your money on the acquisition of gasoline and diesel fuel;
- in repair work The modules of this transport do not need, since the quality of execution is at the highest level, which can demonstrate the Japanese;
- the interior performance suggests that the assembly takes place at exclusively high technologies, the materials select the most expensive and appropriate.
These are just a few advantages of Mazda CX-5, which can be described in words. In fact, the machine is just amazing, it offers the highest comfort of the city trip, take care of every movement and turns it into pleasant sensations behind the wheel. Driving Mazda, you will not feel any negative features of the trip even on a fairly bad road. The suspension technologies have been very successful, the car took into account all the features of Russian exploitation, so many buyers seek to acquire precisely a good configuration of Mazda CX-5, filled with amazing technologies for the comfort of the trip. True, there is a car for less than 1,350,000 rubles, which is quite a lot.
Toyota RAV4 - restyling the most popular parker
The Toyota RAV4 was repeatedly the most popular and refined crossover of all times and peoples. The car has excellent technical capabilities, pleasant features of the trip and a very interesting appearance. Rav 4 always remains the desired product in the crossover market, but you need to recognize that the price of the machine is also growing quite rapidly. With the presentation of the restyled version, the corporation significantly increases its position in the market, but the price tags grow systematically, moving to the elite class. The main features of the machine are as follows:
- new appearance becomes an incredibly important feature of the car sales, demonstrates beautiful technological features vehicle;
- the basic engine for Russia is a 2-liter gasoline unit with potential in 146 horses, for Europe also supply diesel for 2 liters with 143 horsepower;
- the diesel unit is represented by a 2.2-liter engine with a potential of 150 horsepower, as well as with an excellent traction and very active torque;
- the senior unit is a 2.5-liter car monster who is able to develop 180 horsepower and give real activity on the trip;
- for a junior engine available mechanical boxes Transmission or cVT variator, full and front-wheel drive, in the elders - only automatic and four-wheel drive;
- auto personifies the most advanced Japanese technologies that are just an amazing solution for everyone who loves comfort.
This car will easily pass in difficult conditions and become one of the best segment representatives for many buyers. Here it is presented not just a conditionally increased permeability, Toyota RAV4 can actually surprise their potential of each buyer. Interestingly, buyers from a wide variety of social layers, different ages and life style leave only positive reviews About the car and offer just amazing reflections and comparisons with other crossovers. The chase remains one of the ranking leaders, despite a certain loss of popularity in recent years. Basic price of the machine - 1,250,000 rubles.
Ford Kuga - a wonderful American competitor for the Japanese
American equipment in Russia is often selling enough intensely due to the cost and some cultural strife between countries. Nevertheless, many recognize that cars from the United States are simply amazing and can very please the owner with their technical characteristics, the parameters of appearance and features of management. In fact, these cars received many amazing technical characteristics, Kuga became the crown of the creation of engineers. To date, the topical version of the crossover presents the following important aspects and subtleties:
- the appearance of the machine remained the same since 2012, the car already wants to update, but so far it does not reach this model, however, it does not look like a obsolete Cuga;
- in Russia, not all engines of the KUGA family are presented, the basic unit is 2.5-liter gasoline engine supplied only with a machine gun and front-wheel drive;
- we also sell a car with a turbocharged 1.6 ECOBOOST engine for 150 horses with a machine gun or mechanics (mechanics is presented with front-wheel drive);
- senior and most expensive force aggregate For Russia - 1.6-liter EcoBoost in a more powerful version of 182 horsepower with automatic and AWD;
- the car's permeability is quite active, transport offers very convenient possibilities to overcome various obstacles on the road and beyond;
- in basic equipment Vehicle can be found many active advantages related to American origin.
Corporations in America are used to fighting the buyer on the money plan, and amazing designer and technical characteristics. In the US, the car market with a conditionally increased passability is active, so local models are forced to constantly be in complex competitive relations with rivals. This once again proves that Ford Kuga is an excellent purchase with very good operational capabilities. The car received many pleasant feedback, despite the fact that the starting price in Russia begins with 1,360,000 rubles. See comparative Test Japanese Mazda and American Ford:
Let's sum up
Today, the market automotive technology With conditional passability expands and offers all new models. But there is a certain classic that remains one of the best solutions in its segment. The presented three crossovers, albeit not the older market, but perfectly personifies the features of the classics. That is why the cars are actively buying for a wide variety of purposes and exploit both in the city and on the track, and even for a trip to the suppressed area without confidence as a soil under the wheels.
Toyota Rav4 has a pleasant renewed appearance, KUGA focuses on technology, and Mazda introduced a symbiosis of all possible charms modern car. Choose among these representatives it becomes quite difficult. And the point is not at all that the machines are very different. Just in every model you feel differently, and it is very difficult to say what sensations you like most. To decide which car to buy, only a practical test drive will help you. And what models would you pay more attention?
Four Japanese crossover
Be fighting for our hearts.
In Russia like this.
To Moscow Honda CR-V The fifth generation came in winter, and we even managed to bring acquaintance with her (SM, No. 1, 3, 2017) while it was certified. And when the case was introduced to take a commodity CR-V, arrived. It is noteworthy that both models at first will be offered with flagship motors of 2.5 and 2.4 liters, respectively. Sin does not push them in full-time confrontation! Partners in the test performed Mitsubishi Outlander. 2.4 and Toyota RAV4 2.5, occupying not recent places in the D-crossovers segment.
Toyota RAV4.The fourth generation machine appeared before the general public in 2013 and since then is one of the most popular in the segment. Since last year, the RAV4 assembly for the Russian market is carried out at the factory in St. Petersburg. Engines: petrol: | Mitsubishi Outlander.The third generation car was shown in 2012. A couple of years ago a restyling was held, and the Outlander last winter was acquired by new options. It is the only one in the segment is equipped with a V6 motor. Engines: petrol: |
Mazda CX-5The second generation CX-5 debuted last fall. It is almost no different from the predecessor. The diesel version of our customers is now unavailable. Engines: petrol: | Honda CR-VThe first show of the CR-V of the fifth generation took place in 2016, however, he reached Russia only in the present summer. A two-liter modification will appear from dealers in the middle of autumn. Engines: petrol: |
His alien
Ornate equipped outlander!
Sorry loud cry this
Disappears in the abyss.
Before the departure passed the results of our group tests with the participation of the outlander and found that he turned out to be in the way. Only once, immediately after the debut, was located in the middle of the score table. But "Stranger" (so translates his name) for us not someone else - it is released in Kaluga.
It cannot be said that the Japanese waved at Outlander hand. On the contrary, it is upgraded by almost every year, for which the honor of them and praise. In the fight against overheating, the radiator of the variator was installed (and why was it removed?), Then the appearance was updated, then introduced an improved all-wheel drive transmission for versions with the V6 motor. And this year it came out with LED fighters, circular review cameras, blind zone control systems and interference detection when moving with reversal and with the new Mitsubishi Connect multimediasystem. All this is good, we appreciated, the benefit of the test Outlander - just in the flagship execution.
The miracle did not happen. Outlander on the background of competitors - like Achilles, which can not catch up with a turtle: those all the time turn out to step ahead. So now, despite the next update, an old-fashioned taste is clearly felt inside the "out". Gloomy black finish, simple eco-eklood, simple seats with kuts range adjustments. The new multimediasystem liked the logical interface and quick responses, but surprised by the lack of navigator. Informant GPS coordinates - weak consolation. The ears of the variator petals completely overlap the pictograms on the steering wheel switches, and the transmission selector is located too low. And decisively has nowhere to attach a smartphone. For a car for 2 109 990 rubles a lot of flaws.
Partly Outlander rehabilitated on the go. In the city, he bribes a good visibility and a coherent duet of a 167-strong engine and variator. But it was worth going to the track, as Idyll died, like the contents of the bottle of Sake in the Japanese restaurant. The motor is superiorly preserved with active acceleration, and road noise is too many. The shaking suspension is forced to drop a move even in front of the humble lips. It gets irregularity with a bigger caliber - will follow a painful blow, which is spoiled not only the seat, but also the steering wheel. Competitors do not allow themselves to be.
Even on a flat, like glass, the Mitsubishi road does not give pleasure: an inadvertent effort on the steering wheel, pronounced insufficient turning and non-pronounced brakes, grabbing at the very end of the working stroke of the pedal. And with a sharp slowdown, Outlander slightly elozit along the trajectory and disgusts tires - from the cars with the ABS I have not heard such a long time. This is clearly not the hero of my novel.
But hope will be worse on off-road talents. And on this field, the "alien" spoke not bad. You can block a multi-disc clutch in the rear wheel drive (this allows Toyota RAV4). The main thing is to disable ESP so that the motor does not squeeze.
In the mud baths "Out" feels confident. Nakhpistyshitsky dying forward, spreading the wheels of the splashing soil. And everything would be fine, but the oak pendant on Buaeraka shares the soul. And ten minutes did not pass, as I wanted to stop and translate the Spirit.
Hard suspension and noisy power unit are not covered with no restinglings. To perform on an equal footing with more modern "Japanese", outlander is necessary to change generations.
Unrefined
Bestseller market
We criticize.
That also happens.
Looking into the sales statistics of 2016, I sused: RAV4 became the most popular Toyota in Russia! Implemented 30,603 cars - the seventh place in the "Absolute" of the Russian model standby. The lag of competitors - the crossovers of the D-segment - impressive. So who took the second place Nissan. The X-Trail found only 17,886 buyers. With all the time in our last tests, RAV4 did not notice convincing performances. Maybe now, after, will it reveal in all its glory?
I dive into the salon in the secret hope to see a new multimediaxy system with Yandex. Navigator, but this option is only for Exclusive execution. And in our car - the usual navigator with outdated graphics, as if the last ten years IT-industry traveled in place. Salon RAV4 leaves a mixed feeling. Circular review cameras, automatic braking system Before an obstacle, a platform with induction charging of smartphones is cool. But how to destroy the spirit of the cassens?
"Kizzy" plastic and a primitive lever control of cruise control, "recently" to the steering wheel, peel sadness. Surprise causes not only a handbrake handle (competitors - key), but also its plastic finish. And this in the car for 2 134,000 rubles?!
But the visibility is beautiful, as well as the convenience of landing. The ergonomics of the first order of questions does not cause: the main controls are located as it should and where necessary. But the secondary button-swoker buttons are crushed as it fell and without any, at least understandable to us, logic. Well, why the steering heating button is up to the clutch lock button, and the seats heating keys are next to the control of the variator modes? But in the cabin there are plugs - so what prevented everything to compose in human?
On the go "Rafik" is good. It is accepted for 9.4 seconds to a hundred: just slower Mazda and for a whole second faster than Honda and Mitsubishi. Excellent addition to the cheerboat - 6-speed automatic, which is always accurate and timely adjusts the necessary transfer. Sorry Toyota - in pleasure! Yes, and the handling is quite gambling. If, of course, forgive mediocre feedback on the steering wheel.
During the last update, RAV4 got softer springs and recalibrated shock absorbers, which, maybe increased the smoothness of the stroke, but quite a little. Shone, crossing, painful blows - all of these Toyota flows with enthusiasm worthy of better use. Especially getting rear passengers. The head restraints of the second row tremble so that it is impossible to catch them in focus! And yet there is no discomfort of the outlander. First, the steering wheel does not break out of the hands. Secondly, shaking manifests itself at higher speeds than in Mitsubishi.
For off-road, our RAV4 is firmly suitable, and there are several reasons. Home -165 mm road Suit. Not seriously! Mondering for this, I drove very carefully from the asphalt. It seems and the coupling has previously blocked, but still prominently in the risky field. Rotating wheels instantly cautate ESP.
So, and "Where is he a button?" Disable "Antibux" managed, just to look into the manual. No wonder I scolded a chaotic placement of the buttons: the ESP OFF key - at the top of the central console, near the indicators unclosed belts. The lamp in the style of "Rafik is not guilty" in this case does not work. Still as guilty! As it turned out, the sense of this function is not enough, since the electronics gives it to be stopped only with rectilinear movement. It turns out the steering wheel and open the throttle, as ESP defines the start of the drift and cuts off the craving.
In general, despite numerous advantages, RAV4 looks eclectic. A couple of years ago, in comparison with the competitors, he methyl to the leaders, and now moved to the category of middle peasants. But buyers this fact seems to be confused. They choose RAV4 for the legendary Toyotovskiy reliability and high residual value. And this is the trumps from the discharge not fighting. And - the best thing evidence.
Achelerat.
Spacious comfort
Delight cause.
But not the price.
However, the obstacle in the struggle for wallets of buyers will not be a modest CR-V patency, but a high price. The test machine with a similar level of equipment is more than 150 thousand more than top versions of competitors.
Strong five
A number of wishes
Established the Japanese.
It became more comfortable.
Mazda CX-5 belongs to an informal achievement: she won in all of our group tests in which she took part. Therefore, we considered a new generation machine with special addiction, the benefit of considering such beauty is nice.
The appearance is absolutely recognizable. Opports, dimensions - everything is like the predecessor. But the refinement appeared in the details. The radiator grille, instead of banal planks, is decorated with small turbines, attract attention and fog in size with a five-core coin.
Salon is a good step towards the premium. Against the background of Japanese classmates - that a boutique hotel against typical "three stars". Everywhere good soft plastic; The glove box and boxing in the armrest are covered with a soft cloth, the audio system with BOSE acoustics gives crystal clear sound. Level!
Buttons, keys and levers? According to Fidbeck and tactile sensations, it is almost BMW or AUDI. Especially liked the controlling the microclimate and the information and entertainment system of the washer with a notch. The multimedia interface is perhaps the best among yourself: everything is extremely clear and understandable. It is a pity, the screen is small at the current times (you have to look at the navigation map), and also infuriates too long - five seconds - downloading a list of radio stations.
CX-5 seriously advanced by part of electronics. There was a projection of devices on windshield (The quality and informativeness of the picture is no worse than in the above-mentioned BMW and AUDI), the monitoring function of blind zones and even the system of holding in the movement strip, which none of today's opponents offers. What Mazda could not replay them, so it is the seats: they are the most ordinary.
At idle turns, the motor is absolutely not heard, and he is silent on the go. But pulls aki beast! The slightest pulse accelerator, and the car ripped forward. And it does not matter, at what mark at that moment the arrow of the speedometer - "20" or "120". Umnichka automatically understands everything from half daughter. When it is necessary, there are three programs at once, when not - it keeps small speed and saves fuel.
The main revelation is the striking smoothness of the course than anything could not boast. On the broken asphalt CX-5 rolls like a velvet track - in this class, such a serenity I have not yet been met. The suspension with ease swallows various-caliber pits that make themselves known except with microtasters on the steering wheel.
At the same time, engineers managed to maintain light, air handling. How at ease of Mazda is screwed into diverse turns, how hard it holds for the trajectory, how sharp and withdrawing her steering wheel! Great chassis! Such love and ease of being in this segment can demonstrate except Volkswagen Tiguan.. Which, by the way, in a rich configuration and with comparable power, the engine will be more expensive on half a million.
The brakes had to be escaped. In the efficiency of deceleration of CX-5, it is not inferior to competitors, but the drive informativeness is so-so. Mechanisms did not come true? So after all, the CR-V went to Novekhonk, however, there is a mutual understanding with the left pedal at once.
Outside the asphalt Mazda did not save. Special off-road modes are not provided, it is impossible to block the coupling, but CX-5 rushing on dirt with the imperturbability of the present SUV. There are weighty advantages and in front of the "automatic" RAV4: clearance of 200 mm and a practically smooth bottom.
Yuri Timkin: "Mazda CX-5 fascinated the balance of outrequisite control and high driving comfort. This is one of the best crossovers in the segment. And among Japanese - the best. "
Even before counting the points it was obvious that the victory for Mazda. Honda perfectly performed: she showed himself better on off-road, could well be divided from CX-5 first place.
RAV4 and especially Outlander no longer impress the strong players. And this "point" problem is not solved - only change of generations. The benefit of "shifts" on the approach. But the Mazda hurt such that until nothing threatens her.

Expert assessment of cars
Points are affixed by a collegial, group of experts of SR. The assessment is not absolute, it shows the place of the car in this test with specific rivals.
Maximum score - 10 points (ideal). 8 points - the norm for the machines of this class.
| Model | Honda CR-V | Mazda CX-5 | Mitsubishi Outlander. | Toyota RAV4. |
| Workplace Driver | Honda has the best seats: well-designed, with a variety of adjustments. Control bodies of all machines are comfortable, with good ergonomics. Outlander became an exception: the variator selector is located too low, the huge handletes of manual switching overlap the steering wheel levers. Mitsubishi and Toyota reached the leaders in visibility. |

| Salon | Mitsubishi grieved uninsulated thresholds, which is easy to drink pants. He, along with RAV4, surprised the rear doors opening at a small angle. The closest second row was Mazda. And the CX-5 (as well as RAV4) does not have a spacious trunk. Honda and Mitsubishi are better suited for the carriage of goods. |

| Comfort | In terms of noise insulation, the CX-5 is definitely leading: quietly, as in a safe! We write outlander in antiheroes: suspension works loudly, the wheeled arches are sound insulated weakly. Mazda and Honda were ahead of their opponents in smoothness. Mitsubishi did not care, whose suspension does not digest a broken asphalt. |

| Smooth stroke | ||||
| Advancement to Russia | The best geometric permeability is CR-V and CX-5: the clearance is worthy, as well as the corners of the entrance and the congress. Honda has a weak dealer network, and Toyota has a small intervalism interval. Outlander and CR-V can be filled with AI-92 gasoline. Honda has no full-size spare. |
