Skoda Superb new generation increased noticeably in status and comfort. In the rivals, we picked up the complete opposite - the sports sedan Mazda 6. Let's see who will come from this comparison with the winner
The design of the Czech car is impressive with angular, "faceted" surfaces, and his headlights in shape resemble diamonds. The car looks solid, impressive and expensive. In short, Skoda Superb is the severity itself. And this is not a sedan, as it might seem, and the hatchback - the trunk opens with the glass. Mazda 6 is completely different: rapid, feminine, elegant lines are forced to admire it every bend. If SuperB causes associations with men, the "six" is definitely "she".
Skoda is offered in a variety of modifications. So, the same 1.4 liter gasoline turbo turbosor, installed on this car, can develop 125 or 150 hp. The turbocharged unit with a volume of 1.8 liters issues 180 hp. A 2-liter upgrade engine develops 220 or 280 hp. (depending on the version). Transmission - mechanical or "robots" with two clutches. Only "mechanics" is installed on a 125-strong modification, and all 2-liter machines are equipped with an exclusively "robot". The price range for the initial configuration depending on the motors - from 1,249,000 to 2,171,000 rubles.
Choose among Mazda 6 modifications is much easier. There are only two gasoline atmospheric motors: a capacity of 2 and 2.5 l with a capacity of 150 and 192 hp The "younger" version can be equipped with both a mechanical and automatic transmission, for a more powerful modification only "Automatic" is offered. An option with a 2-liter power unit is offered from 1,224,000 rubles, and a 2.5-liter version can be purchased at least 1,464,000 rubles.
We took the most close options for power and gearboxes. Mazda 6 is equipped with a 192-power engine, and under the hood Skoda Superb "works" with a capacity of 180 hp, aggregated with a robotic transmission. In this configuration "Czech" is estimated at least 1,632,000 rubles, which is 168,000 more expensive "Japanese".
For driver and passengers
The interior of Skoda, like an external design, looks strict and serious. And, as usual, the production of Volkswagen concern is perceived so organically, as if you ride this car for many years. All buttons and controls can be found literally blindly. There is a chic central armrest adjustable in height. Ergonomics are ideal, and the quality of finishing materials is above all silent. True, you come home in the evening and you can't remember how the car's salon looks like ... such is an interesting feature.
Interior Mazda 6, on the contrary, is very well remembered. At the same time, on ergonomics, the Japanese sedan is practically not inferior to Czech competitor. Is that the graphics at the central monitor is not so clear, and the projector readings on the windshield, made in the form of a retractable screen, brings the sun, which makes readings. Interestingly, the touch monitor at a speed above 8 km / h ceases to respond to touch - for safety. During the movement, it is more convenient to use the joystick on the central tunnel, and this is a very competent solution that, except Mazda, has not yet implemented any of the automakers.
By geometry of landing, we put the sign of equality. In both machines, you can get up with all the amenities. Only in the Japanese sedan, the driver sits noticeably below - in sports. But in Superb landing more "civil". Thanks to this, visibility in the Czech hatchback is a little better. However, according to this parameter both opponents at height. In the Mazda "Driver" attack strengthens the rigid seats, Skoda, on the contrary, has a soft chair causing "home" sensations.
The second row in Mazda is quite spacious for a business sedan, a dense and deep sofa is perfectly molded, in front of the knees and above the head is quite enough space. There is heated rear seats, as well as a comfortable central armrest with cup holders. In short, everything is fine. So you think, however, until we find it on the second row of the Czech car.
This is where the present space! And not even at the level of the business class, but against the background of executive sedans. A man of medium height here can almost pull the legs! And above your head more than the opponent. The sofa is no less convenient in shape, but its packing is softer, which is why it is cozy. In addition to the central armrest with coad, passengers of the second row are offered retractable curtains on side windows and its own climate control system. In general, Skoda Superb can travel with almost executive comfort.
The luggage compartment at the hatchback is simply immense! And this is despite the fact that under his floor there is a full-fledged spare wheel, while Japanese offers only the "Daughter". Mazda because of this "Savage" turned out to be a very high floor. On the other hand, due to the high floor, when placing the rear sofa in the Japanese sedan, an absolutely smooth area is formed, and Skoda has a rather high step. But in general, the trunk of the Czech model in this class is out of competition. And here there is ... flashlight. And on the inner side of the lidger of the gas tank there is a corporate Skodovsky scraper with a magnifying glass. Interestingly, at least someone enjoys them as a magnifying glass?
Potential difference
What do you think it is better - a bulk atmospheric engine or turbated aggregate Small volume if they give out identical power and torque? According to the results of the test, we vote for the atmospheric power unit Mazda 6. Because it is distinguished by linear reactions to pressing the accelerator pedal, while the reaction to the "gas" at the Czech rival is slightly less adequate. In addition, the Skoda has a turbopaouus on small turns. And the engine sound at Mazda is more clown. Although the power unit from Superb works noticeably quieter.
Now compare the good old "automatic" and a fashionable robotic trans mission with two clutches. And here we again choose Mazda with its traditional hydromechanics. Maybe its "automatic" with an active ride slightly less damned, but he, unlike the opponent, allows "crawling" without jerks in the other modes, is working logical. And the "robot" at Skoda nervously behaves in traffic jams and periodically frankly "stupid" when trying to sharply accelerate, especially with low speeds. You leave, for example, on a circle, you see that you have time to drive, click on the "gas", and in response - silence. And she lasts two seconds. And suddenly the car starts sharply when it's too late ... and this "bug" is not treated even the "sports" regime, simply the transmission thus seals the clutch.
The steering of the Japanese sedan at low speed is very easy. In combination with rather "sharp" settings (from the stop to the stop 2.6 turn), the car is felt very maneuverable and yurt. With increasing speed, the ram is noticeably much, thereby improving the stability of the movement. At the autobahn course stability at height, and on the winding country track Mazda pinches the driver to turn the turn on the limit of the coupling properties of the tire. Turning to the car is almost neutral, the rolls are almost absent, and the driver's control actions, the sedan responds quickly and accurately. In short, the real drivers car.
Competitor from the Czech Republic is the complete opposite. Its steering wheel is not so "sharp" (2.75 turns from the stop until the stop), and the returning effect is more saturated at low speed and not so heavy on high, due to which it is completely natural. Reactions to management timely, accurate and smooth at the same time. At all, steering Skoda could be a benchmark if once again did not show a drawback, typical of this platform of the Volkswagen concern. We are talking about the behavior of the car in a rut. The fact is that SuperB begins to slowly "break down", and there is no information on the ramp at the same time. As a result, there is a feeling that the steering wheel is cut off from the wheels. This, of course, you can get used to, but the driver does not add it to confidence. Otherwise, there is no complaints about the manageability. The car is not so assembled against the backdrop of the Japanese rival and the rolls of His higher, but the behavior in the deviras of "academically" is correct, as befits representatives of the German concern.
In addition, Skoda is recovered in terms of comfort. Both in the smoothness of the stroke and on noise insulation, Superb claims to lead in class. Micropropouls and small irregularities of the road he simply does not notice, but on large potholes the driver and passengers feel only soft, elastic jolts. The feeling is that on the Moscow streets of the road builders suddenly, fresh asphalt was laid everywhere. We transplant to the rear seats - and here is still softer! Usually on the second row, the smoothness of the stroke is worse than ahead, such as Mazda 6, but Superb is a pleasant exception. And noise insulation is close to the ideal: tires and wind are muffled so that they just do not notice them, and the engine is practically not heard.
Against the background of the Czech hatchback "Japanese" is noisy. Tires are buzzing, the engine is ringing. But it does not deliver problems, because it should be on the car with sportswords. And a dense suspension that felt by the "sinks" of asphalt and responds rigidly by potholes, "clamp" smoothly to such an extent so that no one in the cabin does not feel discomfort. With the energy intensity of Mazda, too, everything is in order.
Karl Gustav Jung, the founder of analytical psychology, shared everyone on extroverts and introverts. And people in accordance with their psychotype need different cars. So, Mazda 6 is a machine for an extrovert, a person sociable and energetic. But Skoda Superb, on the contrary, will like an introvert, preferring calm and privacy. As for someone to award victory, we found themselves in difficulty. Because "Czech", despite the overwhelming advantage of the capacity and comfort, did not ideally show himself in the conjunction of the transmission engine, and we have questions about the steering control. At the same time, the Japanese sedan in some parameters gave way to the opponent, but in general it was exactly - we could not find explicit flaws. So you should choose, based on personal preferences and tasks that you put in front of yourself, purchasing a similar car.

In basic equipment, Volkswagen Passat will cost 1,329,000 - 2,079,000 rubles. Skoda Superb can be bought for 1,249,000 - 2,416,000 rubles, and Mazda 6 - 1,224,000 - 1 699 600 rubles. In our market, the system with a full drive is attached only to Skoda with a minimum price tag at 2,061,000 rubles.
Today we will look at three sedans, which firmly entrenched in the Russian market and will fight with each other for the championship in our comparison. The perfect pair will be Skoda.Superb I.Volkswagen.Passat 2016,which not only belong to one class, but also built on the same working platform. In addition, they are equipped with identical turbo engines with a volume of 1.8 liters and automatic transmission DSG.. Japanese sedan can dilute tandem Mazda 6 2016,equipped with a 2.5-liter atmospheric unit with a familiar "machine". Executive Czech sedan is familiar to strict and rectangle. You can find a lot of similar features with the German Passat, but the latter has additives to the entire two-dimensional luggage door. However, design VW.Passat.it became more stylish, due to a wider radiator lattice and a high-end hood.
ForPassat Available Several gasoline 125-180-strong turbo units that work with a 6-speed mechanical KP or a 7-speed "robot"DSG model rangeDQ200.
The interior update is no conflict with strict design. The driver's seat received only a partial electroception, and for a complete package with ventilation you need to post another 50 thousand 740 rubles. The rear sofa is best suited for two passengers, as the third will not be too comfortable with a high tunnel and a low ceiling.
In general, the interior of the German sedan is not surprising. Already familiar shape, familiar design and excellent ergonomics with relevant quality. From innovations, it is worth noting a new multimedia panel, as well as extended ducts.
Based on the same platform Skoda.Superb 2016.it has more modest design and quality. It will not be able to boast and widespread the range of options. Although it does not prevent him from staying as comfortable and practical.
Salon Japanese Mazda 6.no inferior in assembly and quality, but a little disappointing a multimedia complex. A little better feel like a front panel, which will provide more space and interesting device design.
Skoda has more powerful upgraded petrol aggregates "Four" than the Passat. Their return varies from 125 to 280 hp. The transmission type is determined by the type of motor.
Superb's salon will remind many version - Octavia. Seats are very comfortable and provide good lateral support. By the way, this sedan is best suited to large people. The rear sofa will offer the greatest amount of free space, has a great level of comfort and is suitable for 3 passengers.
Driver's seat Mazda 6.located lower than I would like, because of what you have to pull your legs. The gas pedal is on the floor, the seat has good side support, and the steering wheel has a vertical orientation. As you can see, quite a sport option. Review is not the best due to ducklings windshield. Passengers on the back sofa will have a little uncomfortable, as the roof is attached and can rest on high people in the head. Of course, you can adjust the backs and add some space, but it was hardly so conceived. Because it is not the best idea to go. Nevertheless, there is a lot of free space for the legs.
For the potential owners of the Japanese sedan, atmospheric gasoline aggregates are provided with a volume of 2 and 2.5 l with a capacity of 150 and 192 hp. respectively. Two-liter is available from a mechanical KP, and the other is exclusively with a 6-speed "automatic".
The front panel is covered with an incomprehensible quality material, and plastic is present in almost every little thing. The dashboard transmits information to a small screen similar to Passatovsky. Naturally, it is optional. The driver's seat is harsh and has a lowered porch for the lower back. The rear places are quite spacious, but there is no separate climate control or security curtains.
Updated Volkswagen.Passat 2016.it will be more favorable to behind the sitting passengers. The sofa is more convenient and wider, there is a separate climate control, in the presence of security curtains, but the places for the head and legs are about the same. Moreover, you can easily activate the heating of the seats, unlike Mazda 6, where the buttons are located on the inside of the armrest. The driver will be more comfortable due to a higher ceiling and a convenient view. Moreover, the German sedan will offer you the possibility of excellent adjustment of the steering wheel and seats, in which the bottom pillow can be elongated.
Most likely, the Japanese sedan and will now conquer motorists with an attractive design and good price, but not by level of controllability. Moreover, it will be easier to insure it.
Automatic climate control mode "Sixters" often blows up legs, but forgets about the windows. Next to its control button, the engine mode selector is located, and the electromechanical handler and the multimedia complex control panel.
For the Czech sedan, there was a high level of steering wheel settings and a driver's seat. However, it is impossible to adjust the length of the lower pillow, and its back hinders a bit due to its bulge. Landing has even greater height than in a German car. The rear passengers will be very convenient, due to the possibility of moving the front chair with only one button and a huge amount of free space. The sofa itself is very cozy and has soft head restraints. You can order the rear curtain of the security as an additional equipment, but the side is already included.
During the test drive, the German sedan turbo video showed fuel consumption of 11.3 l / 100 km, and Czech - 12.4 l / 100 km. The atmospheric unit of the Japanese car "Kouchal" 10.9 l / 100 km.
The Passat is equipped with a steering wheel heated, which you will not find in Superb and Mazda 6. But in general, the list of available options is not so great, which is indicated by small plugs from KP. The whole list is "Start / Stop",Esp plus protective curtain for rear window.
Ride Skoda.Superb 2016.very comfortable, due to passive chassis and 17-inch wheels. Noise insulation at a high level, and the suspension allows you to safely pass through any irregularities. The only noticeable minus is a high routine of the body on the track. Russian buyers will not delight electronically controlled MONROE shock absorbers, which provide a smoother course. And it's a pity, because the sedan turns is not so good: the roll level is quite high, and the steering does not provide a proper reaction. Nevertheless, the stabilizing system makes his business and allows you to freely use high-quality brakes, which, by the way, work at the expense of not the best long-time pedal.
Electric steering amplifier is similar to Passatovsky and provides artificial weighting on turns. Fortunately, it knows how to control it correctly.
Superb is equipped with heated windshield, but there are no incandescent threads. Similar situation in the Passat. You will find various buttons around the robot lever to control driving modes, parking assistant, as well as opening the luggage door. However, the stabilizing system cannot be turned off completely, in contrast to the tracks-control.
German sedan Volkswagen.Passat 2016.it has a similar system of passive shock absorbers, but it copes perfectly with their duties without electronically controlled configuration. The car is equipped with 17-inch wheels and they serve better than Skoda.Even despite the more rigid profile and greater sensitivity to irregularities, they practically do not feel and support a high level of comfort. Moreover, the German sedan will deliver much more pleasure from driving. Yes, the steering is sometimes driven by a stick with too high sensitivity, but in general, everything is fine. Minimum rolls, highly responsiveness, and brake system Reacts everything quickly and reliably. What you say, german quality!
Mazda has the highest noise level when driving. Skoda is in the middle, and the Passat is the most quiet option. To a greater extent, the rumble produced comes from the tire configuration option.
Superb is equipped with a classic dashboard with ordinary signs, and the multimedia panel is identical to Passatovsky and costs about 72 thousand rubles. The diagonal is quite large, but the image and responsiveness of the touch screen is not the best quality. Optional audio systemCanton with good quality 610 W is available for 28 thousand rubles.
The Japanese version of the updated sedan is much better in sensations for the driver. It will provide the owner of a high level of controllability, excellent brakes and a dense suspension. However, such sports equipment is not always appropriate. The stabilizing system can be completely disabled, as well as in the German sedan. Nevertheless, Mazda 6 allows you to use a skid during a drop of gas. Because of this, the smoothness of the stroke and noise insulation suffers. Therefore, driving on the road will be accompanied by constant vibrations and with particular care to refer to pits and other irregularities.
Our tested Mazda 6, smoothly, like the superb, could boast the retention system in the specified band. But it's not enough! The Japanese sedan reacts too dramatically on errors due to a specific electric amplifier.
The dashboard of the Japanese sedan will be familiar to many, and the multimedia complex pleases its speed, navigation system and Internet access. The screen has smaller sizes, and the image quality does not boast of high resolution.
Mazda 6 2016.has a smaller weight than Skoda.Superb 2016.80 kg. BUT power point More powerful and productive: 2.5 l / 192 hp / 256 nm. That is why the car demonstrates the best indicators in acceleration: up to 100 km / h for 7.8 s. Competitors have these numbers stopped in the area of \u200b\u200b7.9 s and 8.1 s. Mazda 6 is well accelerated and begins to truly reveal on turnover of 3500-6000. Sports regime only contributes to the aggressive nature of the sedan. In general, the 6-speed automatic transmission is also not bad and complements the car well.
The base chassis in the Passat has optimal settings, along with adaptive shock absorbers.DCC, which can be purchased for 34 120 rubles. It is worth noting the optional imitation function of the differential blockingXDS, which costs 11 thousand and will provide noticeable help on turns.
The dashboard has a virtual concept and a diagonal of 12 inches. The 8-inch touchscreen display will be available in the top version of the Passat. Moreover, only this sedan will offer a circular review camera, and the multimedia complex supports synchronization with smartphones, thanksMirrorlink as wellWi-Fi. The same system is installed in Superb.
The capacity of Czech and German sedans is 180 hp, which makes them the most calm in comparison. Nevertheless, preselative transmission works much faster than the Japanese Avtomat. The start of the movement has a second delay, but then everything goes like oil. Moreover, the Passat will be faster than superb, as in accelerating from the spot. Passport details are indicated. Such results are caused by the greater orientation of the Czech sedan to a high level of comfort than in other models.
The optics of the trade wind and Mazda 6 are made at the expense of adaptive LEDs, and Skoda - at the expense of bixenon lamps. Naturally, this equipment is offered for an additional fee. Rear optics according to the LED standard.
Optional are the wheels of various diameters: Passat and superb are equipped with 17-inch, and Mazda 6 - 19-inch. Special impeded tires are only in the Passat.
A robotic gearbox of a German sedan in practice is much more smart than competitors. And the sports mode allows longer to withstand a specific transmission. The Czech sedan has a smoother operation of the CP, but some shoes are tangible in urban traffic. In both cars there is a problem with the movement on the elevation, when the vibration is transmitted inside the cabin. The Japanese sedan has such a problem.
The most voluminous trunk will offer Skoda: 625-1760 L with various hooks, grids, partitions and lanterns. The automatic door can open 1868 mm in height. The German sedan has 586 liters of volume, but will provide the owner of the same level of comfort. Mazda 6 has the smallest trunk of 438 liters, and from the advantages you can select only a moderate loading height and the ability to fold the backs of the rear armchairs. In addition, the Mazda accommodates under the floor only the dock, unlike competitors with a full-size wheel.
Sales rate at the Passat - 1208 models. The superb is implemented in the amount of 639 liters, and Mazda 6 - 6895 models, which is the highest indicator in Russia among these models.
Turbo engines with a direct injection system and robotic gearboxes DQ200 together with dry clutch can cause some distrust by buyers. After all, the life of their life is, though, under some doubt. However, such a complete set of Passat and Superb is perfect for solving a variety of tasks and will provide a high level of comfort. If you compare cars purely on these qualities, then the Japanese sedan Mazda 6 will give way to its competitors. But he is the only one who can aggressively move and "light up". So, here the personal preferences of every car enthusiast come into force. Business sedan is a Passat or Superb, and sport car For the soul - this is Mazda 6. Choice for you!

Last year, the front-wheel drive Skoda Superb with a 2.0-liter 220-strong motor from Audi (CHHB index) was purchased 162 people, of which 119 were chosen that expected, the Basic Version of Ambition for 2.2 million rubles. Not too popular version? Yes, and we took it into a comparative test simply because even before the first rolling Russian presentation restyling Mazda6, a sample of "six" with a 2.5-liter turbo engine was sampled, and the Skoda on nominal signs was the first suitable car for comparison. However, as it turned out, the best sparring partner for Mazda6 in Russia is now and not found.
The turbated "Sixer" with a new appearance for our market went on sale at the end of last year. The car immediately showed his potential without leaving doubts that in the first quarter of 2019 she will furnish the competing Czech version. It is unlikely to be very upset in Skoda, because the Czech sedan is imported into our country, the margin is high, and the last place in the brand sales structure is predetermined: all other Skodes presented in Russia are also assembled (some rare modifications like Laurin & Klement , not counting).
At the same time, questions like "why in Kazakhstan Superb can be assembled, and we cannot" do not have grounds for them, since our southern neighbor has been assembled on a discrepancy cycle, which we are just without necessary - for him the state has long been Does not accrue benefits. But what about Mazda6, which in the Far East also collect "scolding"? Yes, there is such a thing, however, the Mazda Sollers plant receives the benefits not at all from the automotive assembly, although the enterprise has obligations for its deepening, and from the assembly of engines, which is finally applied only to.
Two these sedans in the Russian market are quite exactly different pathways. Skoda always tried to present the widest possible set of versions of the superb - they say, not lapties scraper, one foot is already in premium. Mazda, on the contrary, not being able to compete with a member of the VW family by latitude of versions, offered a minimum that guarantees the high interest of our buyer.
Three weeks ago I am Vyuz on the route Vladivostok - Nakhodka director of the Russian representative office of Mazda Marketing Andrei Glakov. Andrei sat in the back seat and commented on the work for one and a half hours rear suspension (Dearly not Moscow!), In the meantime, I asked why the same superb in Russia is presented with a full-wheel drive version, and Mazda6, available in Europe with all leading in a two-axis body, we do not sell. The only argument of the main marketer is a specific attitude of Russians to diesel engines: Mazda6 4WD goes just with a motor in gravity fuel. "Remember our fail with diesel engines on CX-5? Let's not try again. "
That is true, then correctly sales of diesel CX-5 were tiny, not more than half-circuit from the total volumes of implementation. However, Dieseloek, despite the complexity of the design (adjustment of the height of the lifting of the valve on the graduation shaft, piezo-forming) did not give the expected efficiency. Here is the question in the other: and whether it is necessary now at all on the sedans of the D-class, and even constructed on trolleys with a cross-location power aggregate, four-wheel drive?
Winter - driver, triumph ...
Our comparative test fell on the very snowy course of this Moscow winter, so that both participants had the opportunity to answer this question. The most clearly, I would even say, categorically, without a doubt in my voice and oscillations announced the verdict Skoda: "No, I don't need."
To admit, I do not remember such snow-covered Moscow roads, what were in late January - early February. Usually snow in bulk in narrow central alleys and courtyards, and here, despite the painful efforts of public utilities, there were all large city highways in the snow.

The authorities strongly recommended that the wheel did not sit down, but I sat down in Skoda and went - first slowly, then everything is faster and excitement, and then I forgot that under wheels - a mosaic of tightly rolled snow and zoyarened asphalt. The clutch under the wheels changed ten times per second, I maneuvered - somewhere smoothly, somewhere sharply, but from the course the car practically did not go away. Electronics, of course, triggered continuously, especially the imitation system of differential blocking brake mechanismsBut without clicks, grincping and sharp stitching of the motor. Only in extreme cases - with a strong "twist" the ram - the flow of thrust on the wheels slightly weakened, but immediately returned to the norm set by the gas pedal.

So I wanted to exclaim: "To what the technique has reached!". Recommend, I do not remember that the machine of the average price segment can have a rescue electronics, on the one hand, so delicately and unnoticed, on the other - effectively. True, looking at the price of our test copy, the word "budget" comes to mind the last.
Its share in the amount of impressions is investing accurate, but, on my taste, a hard lightweight steering wheel, chain brakes of rather high sensitivity and suspension. At this point will stop more. With active maneuvering, elastic elements prevent strong rins of the body, which, together with a light board, initially introduces the driver, especially inexperienced, misleading: an illusion arises that Superb is a small high-chawed car, which is even rebuilt with ease, takes steep turns, instantly accelerates and slows down. No, it's not quite so, although the same powerful engine, which even in Comfort mode gives excellent start, and on the track shows confident opportunities for setting speakers when moving from stationary modes, also plays this illusion.

Still, Superb is not a compact class, but a relatively heavy, inertial car. To make sure that, ride on the "folk" version of the superb with the "opposite" tinted TSI under the hood.
Actually, what is this remark? To the fact that the incidence of such a car turns into a solid fuel consumption: a dynamic ride around the city, littered with snow, will cost 17 l / 100 km and above, and the lightweight wheel can be asleep as the driver's vigilance that one day it simply does not catch the first symptoms Loss of electronics of its vigilance. On the other hand, such a bust with snow on the road is still an extreme situation. We just need to put pressure on gas and not so fiercely turn the wheel.
In suspended state
Superb suspension Although not hard, but it feels uncomfortable on our joints - and passengers of the sedan with it. With a deaf "Bumka", pits and single transverse obstacles are overcome. However, add comfort can be reducing the speed. Meanwhile, the question arises: for what to pay? For confident ride on a dry road? Yes, the superb electronics is better than many copes with the bad weather, but still for our test version are asked almost three million rubles, and this is not the most expensive equipment! Maybe stupidly take Audi A4? There, at least, for the "treshka" and four-wheel drive, and the motor is more powerful.
As for Mazda6, we were told in the first test drive about metamorphosis in the first test drive, but he passed on dry and very bad roads between Vladivostok and Nakhodka - two fat passengers in the back seat in my car, sigh, sigh and asked to reduce speed From 90 km / h to 70 ... I wonder what they would say, passing along the route to Superb ...

In Moscow, Sixer felt not as an example better than in his native Far East, demonstrating and higher smoothness than when driving over-sorply asphalt, and better stability. Meanwhile, it is super-leak, and not Mazda, the effect of "carpet aircraft" is very good, that is, immobility of the body during a ride, but engineers can not yet combine it with smooth operation of obstacles. Yes, Skoda is not premium yet!

The main difference between the Mazda6 suspension from Skodovskaya - the presence of a tangible first vertical oscillation when moving through the obstacle with two wheels. It is it that gives a feeling of shaking, amplitude. Not to say that it caused some particular discomfort, if in at the top point the body did not lean it - either relative to the longitudinal axis when the machine moves in a straight line, or across the turn. In general, if we talk about the perfect suspension, it probably should be a little softer than that of Superb, work out joints, but also not allowing such fluctuations to make a car as in Mazda. Interestingly, this "oscillatory" feature appeared from the "Japanese" with restyling: it was necessary for some kind of suspension. These are not our fantasies - the "softening" of the elastic elements officially confirmed to Mitsur Waky, the Mazda Development Manager.
As for behavior on a snow-covered soil, here "Japanese" is inferior to its European classmate in the sense that it starts to bear much earlier, and electronics is not so sterile, although it does not allow the critical threshold. In any case, the "Mazdovskoye" chassis with new "restyled" settings that deserved a fair dose of criticism among commercial journalists on the first test looks like a product of the integrity of options, and not as an output to the optimal solution.

Actually, the installation of new springs, shock absorbers and bushings of stabilizers is not a cat's cat. Such radical sliced \u200b\u200bface suspender is usually not accompanied. It is not clear what caused these changes, however, the radical improvement of the characteristics of the suspension to the Japanese could not achieve.
Power app
Both cars - automatic boxes With the incompetent now the number of steps - 6. Skoda is partly due to the high motor return: it is his moment (350 nm) can digest FD6D9011 series DQ250 (02E) with two wet clutches. According to the smoothness of the operation, it practically approached the classic "hydromechanic" - at least some obvious inconvenience does not deliver the driver.
Salon Skoda Superb. Another thing that I would like - since we are talking about such an expensive car as superb - get at least the possibility of fully manual control. There is even in the sports and nominally "manual" (M - MANUAL) mode of electronics, barely holding the turns from the red zone, drops the step and does not "twist" the motor. Such "fool protection" along with an unconnected ESP - non-serious.
However, the Japanese classic aggregate on the Mazda, along with the basic, only one sports mode gives, when choosing which only slightly improves the operation of the motor to move the gas pedal, and transmission switches with several large revs.
Salon Mazda6. The only situation in which the Japanese hydraulician looked preferable, is connected with the same snowfall. At one night we left the cars in the parking lot, which for the night turned into a snowy virgin - not that it was not easy to get out of there, but at some point the position of the Superb seemed hopeless: his "Double-Clutch" clicked his clutches, soaked between the first and Second transmission. As a result, our most experienced colleague and a part-time Jeeper-amateur Andrei Savodbin snatched from the snow captivity. But Mazda6 is quite calm, with insignificant slippers and even without disable ESP. I wondered the entire platform. And more: both ACPs can be controlled by petals in the "semi-automatic" mode. Mazda is just good.
The SkyActiv-2.5t engine has a "normal" compression ratio of 10.5, and not at 13.0, as all "atmospheric" SkyActiv, but much in his character is from his nearest hopeless relative of 2.5 liters. Maybe because these motors are practically unified in design? In general, they even have "geometry", namely the diameter of the cylinder (89.0 mm), the stroke of the piston (100 mm) and even the working volume - 2,488 cm3.
In general, it seems that the Japanese engine is difficult to unwind, with reactions the case is not so acute, and noise even with a half of the choke from it much more than from Czech - sorry, the German - the unit, already starting with the middle turns of the crankshaft. True, it was the "Japanese" that, in terms of the economy, he is not just inferior to the "German", but on the contrary, it is confidently surpassed, and the denser the flow, and the rhythm of the movement is more "torn", the feeling difference. However, with relatively moderate driving around the city of Middle Uploadability, an experienced driver on both machines can easily come out of 11 l / 100 km.
What am I leading to? Against the background of its competitor for the present test, Mazda6 in the amount of consumer qualities does not look like a strongly lagging, but rather "not so modern." And from the fact that against the background of other classmates - let's say, Toyota Camry - Sixer seems to be an unconditional favorite, the managers of the Russian compartment of the Mazda should not be easier, because with Toyota, who collected in our full cycle, Sixer cannot compete at the price. . Moreover, the updated interior of the "six" in some places causes light bewilderment: the central screen has increased with restyling on an inches, the style has changed and the scale of the scales has changed, and then the whole harmony went away. Say, why was the white backlight of the speedometer made more "cold" than on the extreme sections? And this is not the case - do you remember that someday the last in generation restyling model accompanied by such strong changes in technology? What for? Spin on site?
Mazda or Skoda?
What do men want? The list of the main desires of the strong half of humanity has long been known: money, wine, weapons, women. And of course cars! Now only naive believes that the car for a modern man is nothing more than a means of movement. Not! Four-wheel technician has long come out of these narrow frames. But this choice is huge now, and it is very important to understand: in the same amount you can buy a car that fully meets your requests and does not meet them at all. The whole thing in priorities! We collected together the sedans Mazda6, Toyota Camry, as well as the Skoda Superb transformer not for rivalry. We just wish to know: what exactly do men want?
To keep the prices of duelists at one level, we had to put the Skoda Superb in an awkward position. While under the hoods of both "Japanese", almost two-person atmospheric atmospheric volumes of 2.5 l, from the "Czech" just "one and eight" are happening. And the return from the "Turborate" is noticeably below - 152 forces.
As a true Japanese, Camry of the Picture and is inconspicuous. With such external data, she is not destined to become a queen of beauty, but an adulter can not be afraid. Everything, as in life: We meet with beautiful, and marry ... on Toyota!
I will not go to Camry! " - Quick after the shooting of Timur Sabirov. The reasons for such a neglect of our photographer to the class D leader are more or less clear to us. And at least they do not look at the service horse in the teeth, we are not the right to condemn Timura - this is his choice. However, the twisted sootovsky weight mechanism unexpectedly aligns our chief editor Mikhail Petrovsky. Famous adept trajectory directions suddenly declares: "Toyota Camry is a great car!" Thank you, men! I do not know whether you really mean the position of Russians to this car very accurately.
Skoda Superb - a lady who knows the price! Someone will say that "Czech" with German citizenship is too fat ass, someone - gorgeous hips. In any case, the external disharmony is justified by the internal space.
Around other participants in the dough disputes are noticeably less. Skoda swears for a disproportionate silhouette and heavy stern, and praise for the space on the back sofa and a big trunk. In essence, for the same thing! Well, Mazda ... for nothing that the nail of this test was the "Sixer", in this company she seems to be superfluous. The relative closest salon makes it impossible to nominate her role for the role of the staff, whereas behind the wheel of Toyota and the more Skoda can be planted by the hired driver. But only Mazda salon gives a cockpit feel: a high transmission tunnel, a little deployed left front panel, a low roof. All major automobile controls are grouped around the driver. There is no doubt - he is the main thing here!
If you want to sleep with the Japanese top model, then buy Mazda 6. But keep in mind, a mimolent passion can grow into a serious relationship. With all the ensuing ...
And yes, it is Mazda! Already hitting the steering wheel "Sixters", I already know the principle of climate control, a set of multimedia functions and a way to display on display road informationAfter all, the CX-5 crossover, and the new "foot" the front panel is composed of the same technoblocks. But why the decorative panel at the base of the PPC lever is presented with the slightest naughty, and the plastic box, separating the front sediments, is walking as if the collectors have forgotten to tighten a pair of screws? Yes, and the roof here is still too low - on the trip I drove my head about the anti-shoe visor.
Gray frivolity diluted with multi-colored light bulbs remained in the past. Inside the new "Sixer" is strict and cozy. Alas, the quality of the assembly of the interior sometimes insults the fingers. But despite this, Mazda gives the joy of touches.
For the convenience of the chair and sofa Mazda are the best. But on the background of rivals in the cabin is not enough space.
There are no such problems in the Toyota. The doorway is wider and above Mazdovsky, and the front chairs are installed in cross-robes high. Therefore, the Camry is not sitting - you go! But what about the outfit front panel! The solid plastic is masked under the soft, soft under the dear skin, and the skin itself is very mediocre quality. Plus this inept imitation of a wooden veneer. In addition, part of the Toyotov keys from the eighties and the old Japanese tradition without backlighting. And now it seems that under the shell of the executive Camry, the People's Corolla is hidden.
Plastic wood, wooden plastic ... If advertising is a trade engine, then deception is its control unit! While in the Salon Toyota, you do not leave the feeling that it turned out to be a three-star hotel instead of five stars.
Flat Camry seats are covered with slippery cream skin cell phones. But why exactly in Toyota breathes the easiest?!
However, Toyota's rear sofa passengers like skepticism are not separated. After all, they have, except for basic values \u200b\u200b(space on Galling), there are also pleasant bonuses. The control unit in the central armrest allows you to control the microclimate in its part of the cabin, to adjust the music and adjust the rear sofa-equipped rear sofa. Neither Skoda nor Mazda such attention rear passengers provide even for extra charge. However, looking into the trunk, again I want to tear the Toyotales. Not only is the archaic mechanisms of the cover loops are not covered with anything, and the compartment itself is extremely careless. How neat can be the trunk of a Japanese car, clearly illustrates Mazda6. Yes, her cargo platform in volume loses to Toyotovskaya (438 l against 506 liters), but it clearly did not save here on the decoration. The mating parts are fitted carefully, and the same hinges of the crescent type are stubborn under the trim, so that when closing the lid they do not rest in the bloc.
The inner decoration of the Skoda is verified both in style and in quality. For complete happiness, there is not enough computer, desk lamp and secretaries.
On the back row, the Skoda place is enough for such a giant as Nikolai Valuev. Sorry, the magnificent front chairs for verification were not too comfortable.
Well, the most thoughtful car in our trio - Skoda Superb! It doesn't matter whether you will look into the trunk, where there are hooks for bags, and a set of grids for fastening the cargo, or sit in the salon - the highest quality level! Even such a trifle as the force of a slider curtain covering the cup holders, it is perfect perfect here. Is it worth talking about the quality of finishing materials and accuracy fitting parts? In addition, SuperB presents more opportunities to people of different growth and a set. The adjustment ranges of the front armchairs and the steering column are greater than that of Japanese sedans. But the annoyance, it is behind the helm of the Superb, I can't find a comfortable landing: due to the peculiarities of the back, my shoulders do not find proper support.
Transformers among us! Skoda Superb sedano-hatchback provides better access to baggage than traditional Toyota and Mazda Triumps.
Carefully decorated trunk Mazda can accommodate 438 liters of boot. The backs of the rear sofa are folded with exhaust coins located inside the compartment. The opening is slightly ejected in height.
Hardly 506 liters of the Toyotsky "Backpack" compensate for the defective shape and the mismatch of the interior decoration. The electrified back of the rear sofa does not fold.
Superb's luggage compartment has competitors both for convenience and numbers - 565-1670 liters.
But how much space in the back of the cabin. Even replanting in Skoda from Toyota, you are surprised to surprise: yes this is a limousine! You want - throw the leg to the leg, and you can simply pull out the limbs by accepting a convenient pose. True, terrific people, leaving the Superb, will have to strain the muscles to tear the ass from the seat. Machine is low! In Mazda, the same problems are exacerbated by smaller gear flaps. But leaving the "goal" of Toyota, you just sculpt to the ground. So, after static exercises, we had a clear leader, Skoda Superb, - a car without serious flaws. But as "Czech" will perform in dynamic disciplines? After all, its motor is inferior to competitors and in "cubes" and in power?
Losing to competitors "According to the passport", 152-strong Turbomor Skoda is ahead of them both when starting from the place and when overclocking from medium revolutions. With an updated, the seven-step presets with a dry clutch package almost got rid of old ailments. In addition, Volkswagen engineers assure that problems with reliability are solved.
"One and eight?!" - Boris Ulzibat is surprised. Traveling on the supernsk for three days, Boria was sure that such an outstanding dynamics of the Skoda provides the eldest motor - 2.0 l of return 200 hp Honestly, I myself, barely having received the car, got into my pocket for the crib - certificate of registration. Maybe then confused? No, everything is true. Long live turbochards! "Turboches" leaves from the atmospheric "Japanese" in half the accelerator's course, and if you press "in the floor", then Superb discourages directly by sports dynamics. And believe me, the stated 8.4 s until the first hundreds will not tell you the truth about the dynamics of this car. And what is the honest drive of the accelerator! The feeling of direct communication with the motor is disturbed only when starting from the place when electronics, protecting a pair of dry clutches, limits the stream of Newton meters. By the way, with a new software The criticized "preselective" DSG began to work noticeably better. Rods during pushes in the territory almost disappeared. Although the "robot" sometimes misses the transmission. But this chronic disease, as before, is treated with transmissions to Sport mode.
Only Toyota's driver do not worry nor the return of the motor. Why keep unnecessary information in my head, if the Credo atmospheric "fourth", harnessed by a seamless "machine", is easy and always!
Toyota can also be spoiled by a gym. However, and without it, Camry copes perfectly. A large sedan is easily rushed from the spot, it is easily gaining momentum and almost imperceptibly moves the transmission during acceleration. True, the lowering shifts are given "Japanese" not so smooth, especially at the exit of slow turns and with sharp overclocks, when the transmission after a small zaminka "falls" down immediately into several steps. But unlike Skoda to drive on Toyota and I do not want, although the accuracy of the accelerator drive here is only a little worse than that of Superba. In addition, Camry is the most neutral car in our trio. He does not impose the driver of his rules, and simply in the measure of his capabilities performs his teams.
SkyAutive Mazda Motor blooms under the complete choke, when energy is consumed in condensers. However, when driving in a whisper, the temperament "Sixters" will suit only leisurely drivers. The six-speed "automatic" planve, but sometimes it is precisely this prevents him from accurately follow the motor turnover.
And what about Mazda? Alas, Sixer again in the lagging! A more powerful engine although it made it faster, did not change the nature as a whole. As with acquaintance with a two-liter version, we still fan the lack of thrust on small and medium turns. On the track, this does not deliver special inconveniences: "Avtomat" Mazda Flood and Slim to lower switching. But in the city, the poor thrust of the motor forces the transmission to fuss: the box rides that up, then down. Robert Esenov is upset! "There would be a sports regime here, and almost all questions would disappear. And so ... "He is, Rob! Only not in the brains "automat", but in the motor itself. It is worth selling the accelerator "Sixters" more than half, and the feeling is as if in the fuel tank instead of gasoline splash. Acceleration of forces by 250, no less! Such a radical change of temperament surprises and simultaneously fascinates!
And what song the motor sings! Mazda6 is the most acoustic, the most emotional car in this test. The Toyota engine is also a well-supplied voice, but it is strangled with thick mats of noise insulation. But the Skoda motor at high speed solo with a metallic, unpleasant ear with a supervision. Yes, and the overall noise noise background is the highest in Trio. The culprits are known - these are tires and incoming wind streams, which are confused in side mirrors at high speeds. Salons of both "Japanese" from road noise are also isolated. Toyota Only a little quiet Skoda, and Mazda on the same deciber comfortable Camry.
Carts accuracy in shorts, and a generous feedback stream ... A skillfully tuned steering jersends the true dimensions of the superb.
But according to manageability Skoda Best. Neither rolls, no worship, but what is the holder in turns! Spike the front axis of superb with a trajectory, of course, it is possible, but who will come to mind so extremely attack turns by car with limousine making. And the steering is the most transparent of the whole Trinity. Because lung and informative. All you feel palm is pure feedback. Class! But the suspension is harsh! On the smooth stroit of Asphalt Skoda - that the spring mattress in the pioneer in my childhood: elastic, tight tight. And even on small and medium irregularities, such a rigor suspension is not annoying. Wipening the wheels and body on the pits - this is also a feedback that the car sends a person. Like, be in the tone, do not relax. But with the advent of large holes, it is a pity and the car, and yourself: blows although they are dampy shock absorbers, but still feeling. Especially on the background of Mazda and all the more Toyota.
Camry turns are a mystery with all unknowns. The body rolls stronger, sliding begins earlier, feedback on the steering wheel is less. But at the same time, the Toyota is almost not inferior to competitors for clean speed and pleasure.
Camry, by the way, is no longer the one that before. This on the past generation car could not be clogged at all, and now it is necessary to monitor the roadbed for marriage. On transverse joints, small blows occur, on a row of asphalt - itching and light vibration. But it is still a very comfortable car. And imagine, completely driven! Yes, from all the trio, only Toyota on the ride sensations is most likely resembles a crossover: rolls in turns are noticeable, transverse loads below, the reactions are not so sharp. But is it important if the driver feels perfectly what is happening with the car? And there is almost no reason to scold the steering. I remember, during the presentation of Camry in Nice, it was the version of 2.5 liters with a completely empty wheel. And the current machine with a reprogrammed electrosaulator software provides a driver with a sufficient feedback.
With moderate sharpness of the Mazda steering, performs the driver's commanders. Without a visible voltage, she clinging to the arc of turn, and in the limit demonstrates light redundancy. The most driven from the whole Trinity!
But the steering wheel of Mazda is still better! According to the unfiltered flow of information that the front wheels are loaded in the turn, the ram "Sixters" crumbles even the verified transparency of the Skodovsky electric powerful. But this is only under the load, on a direct steering wheel seems viscous, and with a sharp rotation it is tritely biting: it lacks the performance of the electric pump. However, the rolls are only a little more than the Skoda. And the suspension is even comfortable. Mazda is straighted with medium-sized irregularities not worse than Toyota, but vibrations when entering areas with frequent, but shallow yams are not annoyed at all. But bridge spills with protruding compression joints and irregularities with sharp edges of painful splashes are transmitted to the salon through insufficiently energy-intensive shock absorbers. In this regard, that Mazda is that Skoda is one field of berries. However, on our "six" there were 19-inch wheels against 16 inches at the Superba. We think it is in them.
Mazda6 offers two motor, two transmissions and three levels of configuration. Prices from 899,000 to 1,18,000 rubles.
However, what is done, it is done, and in this test at the sexy "Japanese" only bronze. But the language does not turn to call Mazda 6 losers. No, she is just another. She is an individualist! And if you are going on the same sin, then you will definitely find a common language with it. And if it is fooling, then one has only one - the middle-aged crisis. In search of themselves, Sixer with varying success rushes between Faster (faster) and settled (powerful). " Who am I?" - asks me Mazda6. I do not know this. But I know that this is the only car in our trio, in which you can truly fall in love! Don't you want a man?
In the Arsenal Toyota, three engines, one transmission and nine levels of configuration. Prices from 969 thousand to 1,503,000 rubles.
Love the Toyota Camry perhaps perhaps on the calculation. But so I did not think that you can enjoy the management of this car. However, I received it! Do not laugh! This special kind of buzz can not feel either hands nor legs. It can not be heard ears, washing the tires in turn. And certainly impossible to wind out, breathing the smell of burnt frictions. He's head! At some point you understand that you can just go ahead, without thinking how it happens. Believe me - this is a very unusual feeling. So, with a deduction of a sloppy salon and trunk, I was entirely on the side of Mikhail Petrovsky: Toyota Camry is a great car! However, even telling us from Misha hardly to convince Timur and the team of hate camry. The stereotypes of Russians are firmly different granite.
Skoda Superb most fully meets customer requests: three motor, two transmissions, two types of body, four levels of complete sets, front or four-wheel drive. Prices from 919,000 to 1,922,000 rubles.
The winner of this test, Skoda Superb, is the dark horse of the Russian car market. For a representative car in it, too much sports, and for a driver-oriented machine - an excess of free space. And here it is already appropriate to ask himself: "Who are you, Skoda Superb?" But with a mathematical point of view Superb is flawless! After all, he has practically no shortcomings. Perhaps this is even the best car in your class. But our men do not need an ideal, they are inconspicuous, but proven Toyota Camry. I missed them: they just do not want to risk. But you know how much such has these last year? Almost 35 thousand! Thirty thousand more than risking to acquire Superb. Such a paradox!
P.S. Under the curtain of the test, I drove to my friend in an active search for the car, and, violating the rules for using the test fleet, put it behind the steering wheel Skoda. Drive! He drove a couple of quarters ... And after six days in his garage appeared with a new needle universal Skoda. Superb with a 200-strong motor. And this man knows exactly what he wants!

So, what car is worth choosing: Mazda6, Toyota Camry or Skoda Superb 3?
You can produce for hours to produce an algorithm for choosing a suitable car you. Without going into a long, all-consuming and tedious description for you technical passports Each of the contenders, we will try to draw your attention to those aspects that may be really important in your choice.
Cost of cars
Let's start with the price. Well, why else? After all, we are pragmatic people, and we live at a time when this is not the last question. In addition, it is the pricing policy that far from the last turn decides why these cars are generally appropriate to compare.
If you are from those lucky ones for which the price does not matter - you can skip this paragraph. Well, if it is not so, then you will be useful to find out the prices from official representatives of Toyota, Mazda and Skoda in Russia.

- Per new Skoda Superb 3 is asked from 1,249,000 p.
Price tags for similar options
If you choose more or less similar equipment for technical specifications, then the new superb will be of course more (approximately 200-400,000 rubles. And above).
Compare the appearance of the competitors
As they say, people are celebrated by clothes. Well, in the context of our conversation, you can paraphrase: the first opinion about the man develops not only on his shoes, but by what the "iron lady" looks like.
If we talk about cars, they also meet them, too, the first impression is about them. By design.
Design Toyota Camry.
Appearance Toyota CamryToyota secured a robust imagination of reliability, which externally manifests itself in conciseness, restraint, representativeness. Although new model It can "boast" a more expressive lattice, elegant head optics with LED daytime lights, stylish alloy wheels, nevertheless, it remained "recognizable" and very predictable. Unlike her rivals. And the new Mazda and Skoda pleasantly surprise. But each in its own way. It is even difficult to give someone preference.
Appearance Mazda6.
Mazda exterior. New Mazda 6 - really beautiful car. By the way I must say that she received recognition in the form of award Red Dot Design Award for his design. And this despite the fact that for this title fought more than 4500 works from different manufacturers.
According to the engineers themselves, in the exterior, this car itself is the embodiment of the movement in the metal. Mazda 6 of the new generation is very elegant, dynamic and at the same time the most sporting among its competitors. When you look at this car - you want to own it. She is able to awaken in you an unimaginable desire. Paradox, but beauty is also supported by the achievements in aerodynamics, indicators on which exceed Toyotovsky and Superbovsky.
Exterior Skoda Superb 3 generation
Design of the new superb. But, if Mazda6 was attractive before, then the new 3 generation of Skoda Superb in his evolution, perhaps, surprises the most in this top of the "horses". Previously, she was swore for overallity, disproportionateness and simpleness. With the lack of harmony of the common silhouette of the car, even its creators agreed. But I would like to see those who today could say so unequivocally about the new Superb.
A new design is a bold eternal "yin" and yan palette - shadows and lights that have found their embodiment in all bends and lines. The image of a new model is really bright, embossed, fascinating.
Conclusions about appearance: What do you say? If you already choose judging by appearance, then we would still give the preference to the super leaf.
Perhaps this is subjective, but this car combines pathos, bright feed and at the same time versatility. On the new Skoda. Superb can be arrived both on a business meeting, and go on a trip to the whole family, and you can "give the heat" in the evening, after work. The remaining applicants are more "sharpened" under business (Camry) or sports (Mazda6) designs.
Consider cars from within
Interior Toyota
Torpedo Camry. When you sit on the driver's seat of New Camry, then you experience a very familiar, even native feeling. As if you rolled thousands of kilometers on it; 8 seats settings immediately allow you to feel what is called in its plate. But for those who love novelty will be some disappointment - everything is familiar and recognizable here.
Interior Mazda6.
Mazda6 torpedo. Interior design new Mazda Not many inferior to business class representatives. Original design, excellent and high-quality materials along with modern systems Management (including Multimedia MZD Connect) make stay inside a really comfortable and pleasant.
Interior Skoda Superb
Driver's seat
Torpedo Skoda Superb. Talk about Skoda. The driver's seat is harsh, but very convenient, adjustable in all directions of the electric drive. The steering wheel is quite comfortable to hold in his hands, besides there are even stealing petals (depends on the configuration). A small but pleasant bonus is an armrest, which is very convenient put forward and does not give your hand to hang.
The black glossy panels may appear the possible minus of the inner decoration. They are clearly visible dust and prints.
Salon "Czech" - an explicit leader in the inner space
A huge space for the feet of the rear passengers. Among our troika subjects, the superb is the most spacious car. It is even comic to the limousine. Really when you sit on rear seat, neither Toyota nor Mazda give you such a space as Skoda Superb. In second place at the capacity (rear row) there is a Mazda.
Additional options for the convenience of passengers
In addition, I want to say about practicality. It is Skoda who has a set of not unnecessary features at all: it has a Wi-Fi access point, a comfortable tablet holder to have something to do passengers, bur mobile phonewhich also enhances mobile communications, glove box with cooling function. There is a special compartment for a wet umbrella in the door, in which water flows out. Agree - comfortable.
Capacity of luggage compartments
Trunk Mazda
The luggage compartment in Mazda is the smallest, from the cars we are considered, only 438 liters. But in general - its design is convenient and practical, as for a sedan.
Trunk Camry
The volume of the trunk is 506 liters, but its geometry leaves much to be desired. Large cargo shower in such a trunk will not be comfortable. And small things - so told fly to the most fallen part luggage compartment, closer to the rear seats.
Trunk Superb 3.
And of course, when we talk about the practicality of the luggage department - immediately remember Skoda. All models of this automaker are famous for phenomenal indicators, the 2015 release superb 2015 has not become freed. In the battle of Mazda, Toyota and Skoda, he does not just wins, but "Detaches" opponents by knockout. The volume of the trunk is 625 liters, and with a folded rear row of seats 1760 liters. It is also worth noting that this car is produced in the body of Liftbek, which significantly increases the possibilities for transporting large-sized cargo, due to the fact that the trunk opens with the rear glass.
Results about the cabin and functional filling:confidently leading Czech auto industry.
Clearance car
Mazda 6 owns an important advantage over competitors - the biggest road lumen is 165 mm, which is very good for our roads. After Skoda is sitting with 164 millimeters, and closes the three of Camry - 160 mm.
Compare engines
The Mazda engine line is represented only by gasoline engines with litter from 2 (150 hp) to 2.5 (192 hp).
Toyota on the Russian market is sold with 3 options for gasoline engines. Volume 2 (150 hp), 2.5 (181 hp) and 3.5 liters (249 hp).
Skoda Superb 3 Engine 1.4 (125-150 hp), 1.8 (180 hp) and 2 liters (220-280 hp) - 160 hp But thanks to the turbine, the superb is not inferior to the acceleration, but even with his characteristics "doing" and Toyota, and Mazda.
Fuel consumption
Toyota has the largest fuel tank, it is not enough. After all, she is inferior to its competitors in economy. And wins in this nomination superb - which according to official data consumes in a mixed cycle from 5.4 liters per 100 km. And although it is good roads And on European fuel, it is still less than that of competitors (6 - Mazda and 7.2 - Toyota).
Let's summarize the results of our comparative tests
It would be possible to look at a lot, but I suspect that you were pretty too. We hope that the information provided is quite enough to make a bet on one of the three.
Winner Our choice is Skoda Superb.
It is he who breathes novelty, externally attractive, and is technically not inferior, but even wins from the submitted competitors. In addition, the car is very practical and economical. The only one important minus is the cost of acquisition, which is higher than in Mazda and Toyota.
But, as promised - final choice After you.
