According to statistics, crossovers are the most popular type of vehicles in Russia, and the budget crossover is the dream of almost every second driver. Therefore, the model Hyundai Creta.first appeared on russian market In 2016, many waited with impatience.
Let's discuss whether the Korean crossover expects justified. What is good Hyundai Gretaas well as what limitations and weak spots has this model?
A list of explicit advantages
Price
Hyundai Creta confidently overtook its competitors for the price budget option Models. This is perhaps best price Car of this quality on the market. You can purchase a crossover from 789,000 rubles., While the main competitor in the classroom Renault Kaptur. offers buyers your car from 879,000 rubles, Kia Sportage. - From 1 179 000 rubles, and Nissan, Mitsubishi and Toyota require even more for the basic versions of their models. Prices are represented according to official dealers for 2017.
Equipment
Whatever paradoxically, but the equipment of the car is also a plus and a minus. The disadvantage is that most even standard, at first glance, options are present only in the latest version. But let's talk about it below. In the meantime, we discuss technical equipment top equipment.
In the maximum version of the car owner model, the following options are provided:
- Starting the engine from the button;
- Leather seats;
- Lock clutch full drive;
- Electric power steering;
- Desk help system;
- Hill Start Assist system.
Last technology allows you to easily climb the mountain with a bias of 50⁰. At the same time you can stay, stand up a few seconds and freely continue to move. This option, as well as the system "ERA GLONASS"allowing calling assistance in the event of an accident basic configuration car. The clutch blocking function will fully reveal the possibilities of Greg as a crossover. With it, you will confidently overcome the blurred dirt road. Greast's permeability is very similar to Renault Captures, the main competitor in the classroom and the price range of Korean.
Salon
In comparison with Renault Captures and Duster Korean crossover wins, both in terms of aesthetics and in terms of the comfort of the cabin. Inside the Greta feel behind the wheel of the European car. Despite the fact that plastic is inexpensive, the finish is attractive, and the relief surface dashboard Even makes thinking that this is the skin.
The steering wheel is adjustable not only in height, but also by departure. Although such an option is represented only in the maximum version, the cavities even in the top configuration calibration is not provided Departure. Seats can also be adjusted in height, departure and angle of inclination. Such a versatile setting allows the driver to comfortably feel behind the wheel of the car, and the side support of the chairs reliably fixes the housing in the rotations. Separately, I would like to note and noise insulation, which is much better in Hyundai.
By the volume of the trunk "Korean" turns out to be ahead of the caps: 431 l against 378 liters. Moreover, the Greta under the trunk is placed a full-size wheel, and the caps of just a dance. But Hyundai loses in this indicator of the front-wheel drive version of the duster, where the volume of the trunk is 475 liters, and in the all-wheel drive - 408 liters. But the explicit leader in the capacity was Kia with a volume of 491 liters.
Feelings from driving
What is good Hyundai GretaSo it combine the dynamics and smoothness of the course. Here has been played by 6-speed automatic boxwhich goes on crossovers with a 2 liter engine. Thanks to the perfectly tuned gear ratio, the car accelerates faster and more confident.
It is impossible not to mark the calibration of the steering wheel. At low speeds, it is softer, and when pressed on the gas pedal, it becomes tougher. Such a distribution of effort allows you to better feel the way.
Although Greta is built on the basis of Solaris, it does not have the same problems with the suspension as the elder brother. Multi-type chassis Hyundai Creta imperceptibly swallows all the irregularities of the road, allowing passengers to feel comfortable, as if they are in the cabin dear german car. Something similar happens at the wheel of Duster - this Frenchman also confidently absorbs irregularities and free on the ground roads. And Kaptur engineers can not boast. Their suspension is more sensitive. On this indicator unpleasantly surprised new Sportage.which overcomes the relief of even tougher his opponents, although the cost goes far ahead.
Disadvantages and weaknesses
The most striking minus of this model is the configuration. Marketers of the Korean company interested the market in an incredibly low price - 749 thousand rubles (according to the 2016 data). Such is the initial cost of the budget version of the Greta. But what can they offer for this price? In the basic configuration of the crossover, there is not even an air conditioner, not to mention the heating of the seats or the system of help when lifting. Even the original LED headlights, which give Hyundai of modernity and style, go only in higher grade. For this indicator, Renault wins confidently, where there is air conditioning, and heated rear glass, And the engine start button.
By the way, the maximum configuration at the Greta is slightly higher. The All-wheel drive 2-liter crossover with the Comfort Plus package will cost 1,200 thousand rubles., And Renault with the same characteristics - 1 180 thousand
Unlike the Greta, manufacturers of caboats can offer four options for gearboxes - 5 and 6-speed mechanics, 4-hurvive automatic and variator. Hyundai business with transmissary is easier - 6 step mechanic and a 6-step automatic. Due to the Reno variator, it turned out to be a little more economically saving his opponent. The difference in 1 liter is not high, but when calculating thousands of kilometers it becomes tangible. Many buyers in the Greta line lack configuration with a 2-liter engine and mechanical transmission. In this regard, Renault Duster and Kaptur has a huge advantage.
Other minus Greta Before the "French" is a clearance - 190 mm against 204 mm at capes and 210 mm from Duster. Considering the larger size of Renault wheels, Hyundai clearly loses on the off-road whenever possible to overcome steep irregularities and slopes. And when installing steel protection, the clearance decreases by another 10-12 mm, which is comparable to the clearance of some sedans.
An explicit disadvantage that has noted many Creta users is the absence of such a standard option as cruise control. Moreover, this function is not even in the last configuration of the crossover, which costs almost 1.2 million. This fact surprised many car owners.
Weak places of the car is immobilizer and automatic transmission. Many car owners encountered a problem when starting the engine. They have started at once, and coming to official dealer, everything started to work. The problem is that the immobilizer and the fuel pump must be given two or three seconds to check after inserting the key, and then turn it. Some car owners eliminated the problem by stripping contacts on immobilizer.
Another weak link model is a pick-up automaton, which seems to not tolerate slippages. For undime replacement oil wear and friction bagels occurs significantly faster. Therefore, it is important to monitor the state of the fluid and to make it timely replacement. The discretion of automatic transmission is also hydroplates that quickly fail with overheating or low-quality oil. Moreover, for the boxes of type "L", "M" and "G", this item is not universal, and the driver will have to pick up the appropriate hydrophlitus for a specific transmission.
Summarize
Considering all of the above, it is safe to say that Hyundai Greta is a good crossover who was a worthy competitor to Renault Kaptur, and according to some indicators and overtaken it. It is perfectly prepared for russian roads And perfectly equipped with a technical side (if not considered the lack of cruise control). In comparison with DUSTER, it is a little less passable, but more comfortable and technically equipped. And small shortcomings in front of Sportage are blunting against the background of a giant difference in price.
Greta is comfortable and modern carwho behaves perfectly both on the highway and off-road. There are no tastes, but one thing can be said for sure - the Korean newcomer has already taken a niche in this segment and will continue to amaze consumers.
As is known, the technical condition of the car, as well as its operation, directly depends on the quality of fuel. The Korean crossover was not the exception, the fuel system of which is very delicate to fill in it gasoline.
Therefore, many parkelive owners are interested in moments concerning gasoline Hyundai Prost. This information may be interesting for those who are just going to acquire a crossover. To the choice of gasoline Hyundai Creta, it is necessary to approach the most seriously as possible, since poor-quality fuels in the future can lead to serious breakdowns. Well, who needs a caparont of the power unit?
What do developers say?
The attentive analysis of the operating book Hyundai Greta showed that the Korean crossover can be freely filled with 92th gasoline. This applies to both a 1.6-liter engine and two-liter motor. With an indicator of the octane number of fuel can be found on back side Rutch.
However, many experts agree on the fact that the refueling AI-92 negatively affects technical condition Crossover. This is a completely motivated statement, because 92th gasoline has never been distinguished by high quality. Based on this, it can be assumed that its use makes the strength robot unstable. This is especially felt when driving at high speeds. Also, no one canceled the accelerated wear of the unit, as well as its overheating. As practice shows, neglect of the quality of gasoline Hyundai Prost in the future leads to the failure of the engine, with its subsequent overhaulwhich includes replacing pistons, valves and individual components of the fuel system.
AI-80
In Russia, there was always a category of motorists who were naively believed that once the motor operates on the 92nd, then nothing happens to him if it periodically "feed" its 80s. Perhaps there is something in this, but this concept is definitely not applied to high-quality foreign cars, which, undoubtedly, is Hyundai Cret. Use this category of fuel Specialists recommend only in cases where there are no alternative fuel species and you just need to get to the nearest petrol station. At the same time, it is advisable to move at low speed with a minimum revolution indicator.
AI-98.
If everything is clear with the previous option of fuel, then in this case it is necessary to repel from expediency, because the use of this type of fuel is absolutely illogical, and with this, most motorists agree with this. The fact is that this category of fuel is suitable for turbocharged and forced power plants. Such a conclusion suggests after studying the octane number. Therefore, if you pour the 98th in Hyundai Cretage, you should not count on large calorific value. This means that fuel consumption will be significantly higher than the norm, and the dynamic indicators, while remain unchanged.
Ultimate use efficiency
This is exactly the case when the refueling justifies itself. Gasoline Hyundai Cretage "ECTO" has special additives cleansing fuel system. Experts recommend using this particular fuel, as it will help to increase the life of the Korean model fuel system and, accordingly, the resource of the car itself.
Check quality fuel
Motorists, residents of large cities, problems with fuel refueling usually do not occur. Often, they use the services of prestigious gas stations, as fuel combustible which they are confident. But few knows that it is better to call for the station itself and avoid various franchises. You can track this nuance by studying the client booth or check. The fact is that the official gas stations are equipped with expensive equipment, while their branches outdated.
In cases where you are on the road and urgently refrain, and on the way you do not notice the reliable gas stations, only one thing remains to stay near the first more or less normal station and evaluate the quality of fuel visually. For example, good 95th gasoline will be colorless, slightly giving up a blue tint.
But if you notice a red or yellow tide, then it is better to refuse to use this fuel. Most likely, such gasoline contains manganese or ferrocene additives that can adversely affect the fuel system of the car.
As practice shows, most of the owners of Greta refuel the AI-95 crossover, and this is the same a good optionlike "ECTO". It makes no sense to save on a stuff, since the difference between the categories of gasoline is insignificant. It is better to overpay several rubles than then look for funds for a motor overhaul.
Output
The Korean crossover is equipped with a rather delicate fuel system, so, the choice of fuel Hyundai Creta needs to be approached. The car's operational book says that he can work on the 92th gasoline, but experts recommend not to abuse. The same applies to AI-80 with AI-98, which specialists are not recommended at all for Greta. Most optimal option It is 95th gasoline, which is not difficult to distinguish from the fake - a colorless liquid with a bluish tint. If you notice a yellow or red shade in gasoline - it is better to refuse it.
Content
Development of compact crossover Hyundai. Creta, designed primarily for Asian markets, began in 2014, and already in 2015 the crossover went to mass production. As a base for the novelty, the I20 hatchback platform was used, and its design was developed taking into account other crossovers of this model - Santa-Fe and Tucson. In Russia, this crossover appeared only at the end of the summer of 2016 at the Moscow Motor Show.
Hyundai Creta 1.6.
Basic motor for Hyundai Creta is gasoline injector Engine 1.6 l, which is installed only on the front-wheel drive versions. This motor is able to develop power in 123 hp. and reach torque in 151 nm. It is offered with a 6-speed automatic or 6-speed mechanical transmission.
Fuel consumption of Hyundai Protein 1.6 per 100 km. Reviews
- Alexey, Novosibirsk. Hyundai Creta, 1.6T, 2016 I used to ride a peugeot 308 puzoterk, tired of repairing the bumper. I decided to take something from budget crossovers - either Renault Captures, or Hyundai Protein. They stopped the choice with his wife - as it is prettier. True, it would not hurt to improve noise insulation, because sometimes it seems that you are going to a tin can. Consumption an average of 8 l per 100 km, 60% city, 40% of the track.
- Dmitry, Omsk. I was really surprised by the fact that for Hyundai Creta there is enough power of his regular motor at 1.6 liters and 123 horses - all the same massive car. It goes normally on the loose, the machine is also not tupit. Consumption in the city from 10 to 12 liters, the route is 6-8 liters.
- Sergey, Kazan. Hyundai Prita in the configuration start (base). 1.6 l engine mechanical transmission, front-wheel drive. He took from. Dealer in 2016. From the extra bought only the signals and mats in the salon. On the run, the consumption on average was 10 liters, then fell about 8.7 ... 9.2 l.
- Semen, Moscow. At the end of 2016 he bought a new Hyundai Protein on credit - before that he went to Great Wall H3. So, after him, Cret is just Ferrari, a motor, though 1.6 l, but very frisky. Visits the speed very quickly, the dynamics city is also excellent, moreover, the consumption of gasoline is an average of about 9 liters, one and a half or two times less than the Great Walla. With the unusual on the machine tupil one time, as I went to the handle for a long time, but then I got used and now I enjoy.
- Mikhail, Krasnodar. In general, I first wanted to take a Solaris, but his price made me await - 840 thousand rubles and with a 1.4-liter engine of everything, the coat came out a little more expensive, so it is more and more powerful. Externally like it, the salon, too, consumption is small for such a car - in the city there are about 8.5 liters, on the highway at all 6.1 ... 6.5 l total.
- Pavel, Barnaul. When I came to the salon to choose my Hyundai Creta, I wanted exactly a certain color - Urban Gray. But according to the manager, there was no present color in the presence, it was necessary to wait, and the period of waiting is at least 2 months. I didn't want to wait so long, so I looked at what else was offered. Chose brown - it looks very unusual and stylish. Consumption is very small - 8.5-9.0 l in the city, from 6 to 6.5 on the highway.
- Alexey, Novosibirsk. Hyundai Cretage, 1.6 mechanics, front-wheel drive, 2016 waited 10 days. I liked the work of the official, irritated only what the dopa imposed. For this inexpensive car Very good audio system, the power of the motor for the city is enough with his head, although there is no crazy speaker, but I did not wait for it. I get out average flow About 10 liters, his wife is about a liter-one and a half less.
- Igor, Vyksa. I bought in winter, while there was a runoff, did not twist the motor. The flow rate was about 7.5 liters on the highway and up to 10 liters in the city, but it was just winter. After running, just warm, the real digits of the flow rate of 8.5 liters in the city and 6.2 liters on the highway.
Hyundai Prita 2.0
For more expensive versions Hyundai. Creta is offered a gasoline 2-liter engine. It is able to reach a torque in 192 nm and develops power in 150 hp This motor is installed both on the front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions, as well as aggregate with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Fuel Reviews HYUNDAI CRETA 2.0
- Nikita, Ulyanovsk. It looks very similar to Tuckson, inside, too, though the salon is certainly a little smaller. Gently, everything, the engine 2 liters is very alive, it does not tupit with the machine. In the summer I went only with Kondeem, the most big flowwhich was 13 liters, in the winter after running the maximum up to 12 liters reached. On the highway in the area of \u200b\u200b8.5 liters.
- Cyril, Murmansk. Hyundai Creta really liked, but initially considered only all-wheel drive complete set and with a 2.0 l engine, plus heated seats and steering wheel - winter is still harsh. The car, though a parckarter, but in winter showed excellent results - four-wheel drive There is normal, with ESP and locks, everything is as it should be. I fill 92 gasoline, the monstrous run was simply, now on average 10-13 liters around the city, it is in winter.
- Gregory Nizhny Novgorod. Hyundai Creta, 2.0Ath, full-wheel drive, 2016, I wanted a different configuration at all, but a stupid manager was caught in the cabin, who carried all heresy and nonsense, as a result I was hung up my noodles on the ears and I was donkey. Of the minuses - the near light is simply no, very disappointed. In the rest of the rest of the complaints, there is no, the motor is a drag, the machine is not stupid, although the old one. Consumption on the track was 7.3 l at 100 km / h, in the city about 10 liters, no more.
- Denis, Vladivostok. In general, we can say that for your money the car is quite good. Power in 150 horses at the engine quite enough for a nonlash speaker, undermines from the start normally. Shumka of course lame like a suspension, but I compare with Prado, and not with classmates. Winter consumption was 12 l, when heptates, I think it will become smaller.
- Sergey, Tyumen. Good machine for your money. It has a relatively small consumption - in the city of 12-13 l, the track is 8-9 liters, no more. The salon is neat, only the suspension is weak - felt bumps.
- Vasily, St. Petersburg. Already a long time wanted to take some budget parckarter, but the Chinese would strive to take the quality there squeezed. Prita seems to be a normal option, but there are also cons. The most important is cheap plastic and a small trunk. On the other hand, the engine 2.0 l for 150 horses, a good machine, large wheels and a really stylish muzzle. Consumption 8-9 Route, 11-14 city.
- Nikolay, Barnaul. The car was bought by his wife, naturally, under her "sensitive" manual. All my arguments stupidly ignored - it was necessary to like and all. But to my surprise, the final choice was sufficiently unexpected - Hyundai Creta, engine 2.0 with a machine gun, a four-wheel drive with interclace diff, 17 discs, heated lobovuhi and all that. I ride a few times on it myself - a worthy copy. Consumption is quite sane, as for 2 liters - 12 city, 8.5 liters.
- Nikita, Yekaterinburg. Run 10 thousand km from the fall of 2016. Brew B. maximum configuration, Plus took an additional body kit on the thresholds and front and rear bumper - you never know, you will have to change the bumper, and the pipes at least henna. On the running flow was a giant, reached 20 liters (just the coldest months of winter were), but after running, it fell strongly. The city comes out about 12-14 liters, on the highway up to 10 liters, if you drive 140 km / h.
- Maxim, Solnechnogorsk. Car satisfied completely, right as an elephant. I went to the daster - a good machine, but is too budget, and externally and the interior. 2 liter engine is really weak. I watched something new, such as Captures - the deformity is simply, on an ancient platform with difficulty stretched new Body. But the price is interested in the exterior of fresh, the engine 150 horses are frisky, consumption on the onboard computer is at all 8.3 l per 100 km.
Many owners of the Korean crossover are asked as to how the gasoline is to refill Hyundai Creta? Yes, and those who only plans to buy a parkettail, no exception. And the situation with the quality of fuel makes the problem only sharper, because no one wants to "capital" the engine.
What does the manufacturer prescribe?
According to the manual for exploitation, Hyundai Cretage gasoline AI-92 and above is allowed and higher, and this applies to both motors - 1.6-liter, with a return of 123 liters. p., and 150-strong 2-liter. On the reverse side of the hatcher there is a sticker where the octane number of fuel is also indicated.
However, some believe that even refueling AI-92 is undesirable for the crossover. They motivate it by low gasoline quality. As a result, during a quick ride and high loads, the engine can start working unstable. Also preserves the likelihood of accelerated wear of the elements of the unit and its overheating. In the worst case will have to order overhaul engine Hyundai. Creta, with the installation of a new set of pistons, valves, fuel system components and other things.
The octane number of gasoline can be seen directly on the racket of the benzobaka Krett.
Refueling AI-80
On the other hand, there are those who rush to other extremes, believing that since the Motor Hyundai Protein is focused on 92nd gasoline, then it is possible to periodically refuel the 80th without special feet. Of course, when there is absolutely no alternative (for example, the fuel ended at refueling in some village), you can pour the 80th, but only in order to get to the next gas station. It is not recommended to go quickly or on high speed.
AI-98 refueling
IN this case, It is a question of expediency. And as Motorists believe, the use of such a fuel is meaningless. This is due to the appointment of gasoline with such octane number, above all, for turbocharged power aggregatesas well as for forced engines. Accordingly, the production of such gasoline is carried out with the addition of components characterized by a high octane number and small calorific substances. This means that there is no decline to wait for the flow rate (rather, on the contrary), as well as improving overclocking speakers.
Refueling by poor-quality gasoline can end up with major engine repair.
Do I need to refill gasoline ultimate?
And in this case, refueling itself justifies. Gasoline type "ECTO", etc. Contains an additive that is washing the fuel system. In the case of Hendai Cret, it is all the more relevant, because the crossover is new, therefore the use of such gasoline from the very beginning will help prevent pollution of the fuel system.
Independent check of the quality of gasoline
In the megalopolis problems with flammable, as a rule, can be avoided. To do this, it is necessary to refuel only at the stations of the prestigious gas station network (like LUKOIL), while it is necessary to travel at the station itself, and not a franchise. This moment can be monitored on the stand with documents or on the check. After all, such filling stations are equipped with expensive equipment. However, the full guarantee will not give it.
When you in the way and the refueling station frankly does not inspire confidence, you need to evaluate the fuel at least visually. If the gasoline is high-quality (AI-95), it will be almost colorless or possess a shade of yellow or blue.
For independent check Fuel quality is not necessarily to be a chemist and have its own laboratory.
In the case when gasoline has a red tump, its composition contains metal-containing additives created on the basis of ferrocene or manganese. When there are additives from monomethylaniline as part of gasoline, it is highlighted with bright yellow color. From refueling such fuel is better to refuse.
In general, as practice shows, it is better not to save and refueling with high-quality flammable, and preferring 95th gasoline. The difference in price in a couple of rubles per liter is very insignificant, so it is not worth risking the engine of the crossover. Yes, and cases when filling stations Cheap 95th gasoline on calibration turned out to be 92nd, and even the 80th, not so rare.
In the plots presented below, it is briefly described how to independently check the quality of the fuel refueling to the tank:
