Compare Aktion and Sportage. Car Comparison Kia Sportage II crossover and SsangYong Actyon I crossover

Over the past decade, South Korean crossovers are firmly established in the global automotive market. Consumer interest has increased to them, they began to push their direct competitors. One of the most striking representatives of the mid-sized class of crossovers are completely young, but ambitious, and experienced Kia New Sportage.

These two classmates are rivals in the market worthy of each other. They cozy at one price niche and represent one model year, besides, they have similar engines and close-up configuration.

The determining factor when buying a car for many buyers is the price. The cost of the new KIA Sportage, depending on the configuration varies within 859 900-1 329,900 rubles. You can buy an act by price from 745,000 to 1,029,000 rubles. As you can see, Kia Sportage is a bit more expensive than its compatriot. For the purity of the experiment, take for comparison cars with the same price (1,029,000 rubles - SsangYong in the top equipment Elegance + and 1,029,900 rubles - KIA in the LUXE configuration).

Both models have a stylish modern appearance. Some drawbacks or benefits of the exterior objectively notice difficult. The rapid, sports and a little sudic style Sportage contrasts expressively with calm and elegant New Actyon. "What car to choose?" - The question is extremely concerned with the individual preferences of every motorist.

Interior of crossovers, like their exterior, is very different. If the Salon Aktion is decorated closer to the classic style, then the decoration of the Sportage indoor space is distinguished by the predominance of sports traits. In this case, the quality of the material of the cabin is at the same level. The ergonomics of control systems also does not make any complaints from both cars. Everything else is a matter of taste.

Unlike Kia Sports Sushangyong New Aktion The organization of the rear space is more thought out. The backs of folded rear seats are located exactly under the floor level of the trunk, besides, they are adjustable by tilt, which gives rear passengers more convenience. The luggage branches of crossovers are not too high due to the high floor, under which it is cozy for full-size spare parts. It should be noted that thanks to a smaller loading height, the Actyon trunk looks more convenient.

The noise insulation level of crossovers does not cause any complaints: an easy, pleasant humor humor is quite admissible and does not even drown out the conversation in a low voice.

The chassis of both models loyally belongs to the typical codobin for domestic roads. Independent spring and lever suspensions of crossovers have soft elasticity and sufficient energy intensity for a simple off-road, but in deep pits it is better not to enter.

More significant differences in compared crossovers can be seen by looking under the hood of each of them. Equipped with a two-liter diesel engine with a capacity of 149 hp (Some modifications are offered a 175-strong motor) and a 6-speed automatic CP Thumbs Up with the possibility of manual gear shift. Kia Sportage in a compared configuration is equipped with a 1.7-liter diesel power unit with a capacity of 115 hp. and a 6-speed mechanical transmission. The advantage in the "horses" is very felt when the Actyon gas pedal is tapped. On the other hand, the Sportage "sluggish" language also does not turn.

The off-road qualities of the All-wheel drive model of SSANGYONG New Aktion were headed above those at the monolod-water KIA Sportage. Wet soil, loose sand and small bumps did not cause him any difficulties. The price of Actyon was in this case an unpleasant limiting condition for KIA Sportage, since all-wheel drive modifications of the latter with more powerful engines stand for several dozen and even hundreds of thousand rubles more expensive.

The third generation of Sportage is a modern and dynamic crossover with original, stylish appearance. The car has not only an attractive exterior design, but also a good technical equipment that makes it popular.

The design of the third generation of the model just became the strongest side of the car. The taped line of the belt, coupled with the "muscular" arches of the wheels, give the car spring dynamics and swiftness. At the same time, the exterior of the car is very original - there is no hint of relatives with the co-model of the Hyundai brand.

To some extent, this can be said about another South Korean crossover - SsangYong Actyon. In this car, the design and technical component are harmoniously combined, forming an optimal balance. Possessing compact for SUV sizes, Actyon is quite comfortable and spacious. His interior looks restrained elegant. True, for SsangYong, this crossover became a kind of pen break, because the company only produced frame SUVs before him.

Conducting a comparison of models, it is worth noting that both machines are available in all-wheel drive execution, but the basic versions have a drive only on the front axle. At the same time, the 4x4 scheme is implemented in both cars identically: a multi-disc coupling controlled by electronics is installed here, located in the rear wheel drive. Moving uniformly on a flat coating with a constant clutch indicator, the front axle receives the entire moment. But, as soon as the clutch of the wheels with an expensive becomes uneven, part of the moment is redistributed to the rear axle. Currently, such a scheme is the most common in the class of urban crosspies. Kia is equipped with a coupling from Magna PowerTrain, SsangYong This item is manufactured by GKN.

The driver can block the intercoles clutch forcibly. This occurs by pressing the "LOCK" button when driving at a speed no higher than 40 km / h. If the installed velocity threshold is exceeded, the electronics take effect again, separating the moment between the axes, based on the specific situation on the road.

Both Sportage, and Actyon have a starting system in their arsenal in the rise, however, there is a system that helps the KIA asset during the descent from the slide. It will rightly notify that in conditions of rough terrain, the KIA electronics system is adequate and more accurate. True, and Actyon does not cause any particular complaints. Cars have a similar length, but the base is a little more from SsangYong. Despite this, Actyon has better geometric patency. This is promoted angles of arrival, ground clearance and great moves of the suspension.

Evaluating the interior of the machines, you can note the greatest number of differences.

Kia Sportage.


SsangYong Actyon looks inside less defiantly than Sportage. But in the harmony of the interior, the car will not refuse - the fact that GiorGetto Giugiaro worked with the design - a recognized automotive designer from Italy. More upset performance - hard plastic, inactively fitted panels staggering in the sockets of the buttons and levers. Disappointing and the algorithm for managing the climate system with three washers. The monochrome screen with orange backlight will not be like everyone.

SsangYong Actyon.


The number of steering column adjustments in Actyon as much as in KIA Sportage, but the steering wheel is slightly larger. Tangibly above the ceiling, and therefore the driver's seat rises higher than in KIA. Given the much more slender front racks, Actyon visibility is almost perfect. The backs of the reverse seats are adjusted by the slope and can be folded into a smooth floor. KIA in this regard is an outsider.

Sportage

Actyon.

When driving on free urban streets in Sportage awakens an athlete: sharp and moderately informative steering wheel, a small reversal radius. However, racing ambitions are quickly dispelled by sluggish dynamics and a thoughtful "automatic" equipped with manual switching. Gasoline motor, with a capacity of 150 hp Without enthusiasm, it accelerates the car on the bottoms, and reaching 4000 rpm of his rockness begins to fill the interior, despite the good noise insulation. It is not recommended to move on off-road - short-step suspensions can lead to the separation of the aprons of bumpers and a plastic bottom pallet. Very passenger lumen in 172 mm will allow you to move only on roads with a hint of a light off-road.

The situation with SsangYong Actyon is the opposite: the car has established itself to be not bad for his status of the city crossover, the "passing". Machine suspension moves give the driver of this Korean much more opportunities. Actyon patency pumped on feats on virgin. After all, this car is not so scary to attach the bottom - from under the front bumper, an impressive metal subframe looks like. The army of the modernized 2-liter turbodiesel Mercedes makes adapt. The fact is that the motor gives the maximum 360-nm in a very small range of revolutions. To get a good acceleration from the place, you will have to promote the motor up to 2,200 revolutions and only then release the clutch. Prior to this tachometer indicator, the engine cheliturite, but after it is felt blasting, which, however, disappears on 4000 turns, as if on the cutoff.

Kia Sportage is presented in the domestic market in 12 versions, including full or front-wheel drive, 5- or 6-speed "mechanics" or with a 6-speed "automatic". The price of Kia Sportage begins from 799,999 rubles. The car is supplied with a basic 150-strong gasoline engine or diesel engines from 115 to 184 horsepower. In addition, KIA has a number of options for the owners of another Korean car in stock: access to the salon without a key, navigation and rear view camera, as well as a panoramic roof. But the leather steering wheel, control of music on the steering wheel, parking sensors and a hatch in the rear sofa can also offer the few versions of SsangYong, prices for which start from 699,000 rubles. All versions of Sportage have fog with an additional turn backlight section. For SsangYong, the fog - the road is expensive.

In general, the difference in price of about 100 thousand between similar SsangYong Actyon and Kia Sportage with quality is fully explained by the quality of execution, the care of eurgonomics and the development of the service network. Sportage is noticeably loyal to the driver, it is easier to control this car, but Actyon is at its cost the most affordable crossover, not counting the domestic Niva and.

I noticed that when I wrote my first review here in 2009, a few more colleagues were marked here then with reviews about the new Sportshead, bought at about the same time. I have not specially followed, but it seems to me on the impressions that by now almost all of them have already sold their own, one I stayed from that cohort. Maybe not so, but nevertheless I want to celebrate here again about the passage of my typewriter and share a couple of reflections.

And my contradictory impressions so much that I wonder myself. The thing is what. For the entire crawler kilometers, the machine except regular that did not require any attention. That is, no. Not a single breakdown, not a single fooling sound, not a single cricket, as they say here, never. Sat down and drove. Today to work for 10 km, tomorrow in Berlin or Bulgaria for 1000. Yes, please, no problems. As if it was not at all. Like legs. We walk and go, what to pay attention to them. Machine five years, I remind you. I am the first and only owner.

Although no, there was something. At one moment, when the steering wheel is suspended, it curled like a non-repulsed pig. Well, I went, pulled into some kind of belt on the next thing, that's all. By the way, the 90000 was replaced by most belts as indicated by the manufacturer.

Review Kia Sportage 2.0 CVVT 4WD (Kia Sports) 2007

So, dear colleagues, as promised, I am writing a review about my new friend. Well, the new is not quite true, because the auto 2007 of birth, but this device was purchased by me at the beginning of the summer of 2013 with a mileage of 12,500 km. I understand, many have now grow up with a grimace - they say - you are completely a fool, for 5.5 years there can be no such run. However, gentlemen may. In the event that if the only host is 70 years old, and besides, it is not the only car. In addition, the mileage is confirmed by the ideal state of the cabin, the body, the presence of standard rubber is also in perfect condition, well, and in addition (for calm, because he himself did not believe in the beginning) the diagnosis of Kia. In addition, you agree, even if the mileage was twisted, then to the values \u200b\u200bwithin 60, well, 50 thousand km, then it's just stupid. In addition, the service book is also fully confirmed (from that up to that 2 - 2.5 thousand km).

As it is now accepted, a little about choosing. So, the almerka was alarm, the kosyachki is there, then Sym, then the suspension, then the rust is shorter, it got. The only thing that did not deliver the trouble is the engine. 16 years, 300 thousand and nothing like new. In short, after the sale of Nisan needed a car. Of course, urgently. What I want, knew exactly, did not stick around the markets. For the purchase of cars was preparing for more than six months, it was probably more than one hundred reviews, test drives and other tests. With a budget, 650,000 stopped on Tushkan, as an alternative considered a sport, but with the condition, if it is a Korean assembly, because Slovakia and Russia were alarmed me (again, based on a number of reviews). Why are these two? Well, the sedan, as it were, the concentration to forty years, not that I would like to offend someone, I mean myself specifically, because I love hunting, fishing, and in general to go to the nature, that's why I chose a crossover (or a parquetor who, as you like). However, first the choice fell on the outlander of the previous generation (nosed). I liked everything. Right fell ill. But after reading the reviews, looking at the prices of spare parts and it was upset. Further "Profilened" of the SGV, RA-4, Cascai, Subaru, H-Trail, Duster (this new one wanted to order), and some others. The first two disappeared simply because of the trunk devices and the spawn on its doors, as well as the value. With an open door you will not go (and I need sometimes - cottage, you know), you do not lie to sleep in the cabin (the seats in the smooth floor do not fold) - that for me the same deficiency. H-trail is good, it seems, but sat down, I drove - not mine and that's it. The tidy in the center scared just - did not like the car. Cashkai and Duster (or Duster - in Russian sounds all strange) disappeared for the same reasons. In addition, the Duster is unreallessly small inside, looks great due to the dodged arches, and the trunk is simply not. Torpedo resembles a service grant. I probably did not specify that I considered extremely 4WD, and the reserve in the daster the trunk almost abolished. In 2wd it is still so-so (the reserve under the bottom). In short, weighing everything, came to the conclusion - Tushkan. And the freshest, the better. Well, or the sport on the conditions specified even above, because it is in principle one car. The latter turned up, which was safely acquired for 600,000 rubles.

Actually, the car. 2007 born, Korean, came to Russia at the same time, as usual through Finland, acquired by me with a mileage of 12,500 km, the condition is close to the ideal (if you do not count the scratches on the bumper, then the perfect), the hardware burst knows it, but there is everything what do you need. I have no hatch, cruise - control and automatic control of light instruments, everything else is (Salon black leather (not covers), heated all except ass. Seats, climate, ESP, ABS, airbags in a circle. Maybe I forgot , do not judge strictly. Four-wheel drive of course. 2 l., 143 hp

Santen Aktion and Kia Sportyja produced in South Korea. These are comfortable, dynamic crossovers for riding in the city.

Machines have stylish appearance and good characteristics.

Both cars have a beautiful appearance, with a sports character. In Kia Sportyj, a high belt line is considered together with bulk wheel arches, which add aerodynamicity and rapid machine.



As for another model, it combines an exterior in it with technical parameters, having the best balance.

Both cars are manufactured both in full and advanced execution.

Interior Santen Aktion and Kia Sportyj

According to the internal decoration, the Sahanang action looks less defining, compared to Kia Sportage. But in the harmoniousness of the lines in the first car, the experienced hand of the Italian designer is traced. And they didn't make it very good - plastic parts are hard, inaccurately fitted panels, and keys and levers in the sockets can easily fall out. The climate control with 3-piles is bad and the climate control. The display has a backlight in an orange tone, which will not like everyone.



What is in the first that in the second model adjustment of the steering wheel there are the same provisions, but in Kia Sportage the steering wheel is somewhat vol. In SsangYong Actyon places above your head more and the driver's seat can be raised above. The review is also almost perfect. The backs of the rear sofa are adjusting the tilt and can be folded. In Kia Sportage this is not.

The compact crossover cohesion on the Russian market was simultaneously replenished with two new products - SsangYong Actyon exclusively with diesel engines and restyled Volkswagen Tiguan. Both car of the Russian assembly. "German" is registered at the Kaluga enterprise VW, and "Korean" originally from the Far Eastern plant Sollers. Excellent reason to challenge the foreheads.

If small crossovers knew how to talk, what words would be the most unloved words for them? I am sure that ... Volkswagen Tiguan. There are competitors for hating "to the brain of the spars" the right German car with impeccable chute and verified driving characteristics, no sustainable reputation as one of the best representatives of the segment. Interestingly, one friend of my friend, learning that the Korean poor fellow will have to go to the ring against the stripper with the letters of VW on the emblem, reproached us in the dishonest selection of rivals. Tiguan, they say, the car is significantly more expensive and in general the real "premium". The price tags in reality differ, but not so much. New Actyon 2.0D In a 149-handed version with a manual gearbox and full-wheel drive, ORIGINAL costs from 879 thousand rubles. But to carry out parallels with Tiguan more appropriate, taking into account the price of the car with a machine gun (939 thousand rubles), since the two-liter diesel and gasoline "folks" are supplied exclusively with a six-speed hydromechanical. There is also a modification of SSAGYONG with a unit with a capacity of 175 liters. with. - Just such a crossover in the maximum configuration of Premium worth 1,99 thousand rubles and got to us for the test. Diesel Tiguan was provided in the initial, but not at all the poor variation of Track & Field, which goes next after the base version with the motor 1.4 l and costs 1 378 330 rubles. (1136 thousand rubles - starting price for gasoline version).

One wheel in "Premium"

Updated Tiguan can be seen from afar: LEDs of head-optics running lights, rear glowing corners and rectangles allow you to unmistakably identify the "eventable" crossover. Volkswagen has changed slightly, however, the designer delights made it stricter and "older" - of course, in a good sense of the word. Tiguan Salon is the object of the Blackstone envy for rivals. The finishing here did not save - the abundance of soft plastic and the uneven skin together with a solid branded design creates the effect of presence in a small, but very "adult" and a dear car. We tried to find flaws in ergonomics, but all our searches turned out to be vain. The amazing driver's seat is lowered lower than that of Actyon, and his pillow is slightly longer. The steering wheel moves in large ranges. Above the heads of the saddles, both in front and behind there is a good stock of space. Behind the "Korean" is wider at the level of shoulders, but VW is unpacked not as an example of a more comfortable sofa, as well as better thoughtful and executed input-exit organization. In general, the Tiguan cabin can be considered hardly a model of how the internal space of the compact parcipter should be designed.


Volkswagen Tiguan Power Unit is located in front. Between the wheels of each axis, simple symmetric differentials (D) are installed. Between the front and rear wheels, the power distributes a multid-wide Haldex friction clutch controlled by electronics (M). Carter coupling docked with rear axle crankcase. Coupling executive element - electric pump. Working fluid, which presses the piston of the friction package, the same in which the coupling discs also work.

Under any conditions of movement, the friction is closed at least with a 5 percent effort, which is distinguished by Tiguan and other crossovers with such a coupling. If one of the front wheels begins to slip or the driver wants to accelerate dynamically, the disk compression force increases, respectively, the moment is increasingly transmitted to the rear wheels. At the disposal of the driver - the ability to disconnect the system of dynamic control of the course stability, which increases the properties of the car on off-road. The key of this function is placed on the central tunnel above the gearbox lever. Here is the key with the inscription Off Road. It changes the operating modes of the coupling, more closed it. In addition, the system of imitation of the blocking of the rear interclause differential is started when the axle wheel is slowed down.


Not bad for start!

With the new Actyon, the Korean manufacturer, the dog was eating on the classic SUV frameworks with all-wheel drive transmissions "Part Time", joined the embodied path of compact crossovers. It would be necessary to master the "virulent" sooner or later: not to have in your own production line very popular currently the type of car means to consciously deprive themselves. But it is obvious to the Actyon condescendingly, as to the first pancake, should not be at least because the crossover is very pretty and stylistically independent. The source of the inspiration of designers was not the alpasicness of Hyundai IX35 or a restrained kia sportage aggression: harmonious calm forms seemed to be molded by nature itself, and they are not drawn by the man's hand and stand up with machines. Special chic - the rubies of the rear lights, which are whimpically "sharpened" lines of the body, as if stones with water.

Landing in New Actyon is high enough, and the driver's chair is harsh and surprisingly well-despilated. In addition, there is a generous stock of space and a large area of \u200b\u200bglazing, providing excellent visibility. The salon, which is not the wealth of equipping (for example, in the maximum configuration climate control is one-room, and the navigation system is not available even as an option), reminds its functionality of Suzuki Grand Vitara. Torpedo albeit from hard plastic, but its decoration is nice to the eye. Alas, there are some ergonomic oddities. The steering wheel, adjustable in two positions, is a bit of a sap, like a bus, and stealless switches are highly cradled. To read small tsifers and symbols on the "calculatory" housonomytor, the frontcompheother has to be distracted from the road. Transmission in manual mode is shared by a toggle switch, which is located on the place, from where on some selectors "grows" the key of the latch, is illogical and uncomfortable.

The stock of the passengers of the second row of chairs from the "Novik" more than that of the "German", but the picture from this iridescent does not become: the lack of a tunnel on the floor although it allows you to sit in the threesome, but the pillow is installed too low, and the chair itself is flat and Not too "human-loving."

SsangYong Actyon.

SsangYong Actyon Power Unit is located in front. Between the front and between the rear wheels, simple symmetric differentials (D) are installed. For the selection of power to the rear wheels corresponds to a multid-wide friction clutch (M) controlled by electronics. Her carter is docked with a rear axle crankcase; Executive element coupling - electromagnet.

When moving on a flat dry road with a constant speed, the coupling discs are open. With a dynamic acceleration or in the case when one of the front wheels starts slipping, the coupling closes. In proportion to the discharge of discs, the flow of flow occurs. Brief clutch can almost completely clicter, but it remains the possibility of slipping discs, otherwise the overload will occur.

To the left of the steering column there is a clutch blocking key, which is recommended to use only when driving through heavy soil - blurred rain road, snow-covered field. In addition, the driver can turn off the system of dynamic control of the course stability, which will increase the capabilities of SsangYong Actyon outside asphalt. In winter conditions, the driver can use the winter mode. In this case, the probability of slipping wheels is less - the movement begins with the second transmission.


Branded genetics

Actyon develops 175 liters. p., Under the hood Tiguan is only 140 liters. with. But according to the subjective sensations, everything is exactly the opposite. During the spring test test, SsangYong equipped with a manual transmission, we noted that the "short" gear ratios in the transmissions are not very good to get along with a diesel engine having a narrow working range. The machine can be sold well with the trap, but still an internally engine, developing a torque peak from 2000-3000 rpm. But as turning out of revolutions from the "Power Zone", the car gradually "falls asleep". It is dynamic enough when overclocking from the place and not "falls out" from urban traffic, but it is quite another thing - tense overtaking. The gas pedal is deep in the floor and hardly bends the arc, and the box is reflecting the box, then pins down, but there is no expected acceleration. The tachometer arrow rolls the mark of 3000 rpm, and the crossover is stuck in the wall. The translating machine in manual mode helps slightly.

Now - Volkswagen. And ... what a contrast with Actyon! The two-liter "four" is weaker, but it is significantly more turning and responsive, which greatly simplifies overtaking, and the machine works without a chandelier. When you turn on the sports mode, Tiguan rushes forward with the ostervenelliness of the thoughts from the PSA circuit.

Compensation for issues to the Coretian power unit was the level of rising comfort. Even on a crumpled road surface, he keeps well done: the noise insulation of the bottom and the wheeled arches is quite worthy, the vibration of the engine on heavy fuel is good forces, and the smoothness of the course can envy some crossovers in vain knocking on the premium doors. The suspension effectively swallows various-caliber irregularities, however, it is difficult to call it quiet. On straight Actyon is relatively reliable, although sometimes requires a friend. In the turn, the ram has to be rejected to big, rather than in Tiguan, corners. (Interestingly, on all-wheel drive 175-strong parquets put an electric powerful, while monolvodny cars are content with a variable force with a variable force.) Volkswagen also copes with broken roads and light calamination. But his "Shumka" is definitely better. Another advantage of the "German" is that it is easier to maintain high speed due to a magnificent chassis, which ensures high stability on the track and turns, as well as informative effort on the steering wheel.

The chance of a favorable outcome of an unplanned meeting with a hindrance to the driver Tiguan is a dense suspension, an excellent feedback from the controls and quite correct operation of the ESP helps a relatively safe to make a maneuver test. Actyon The same is harder, mainly due to the large deviations of the steering wheel, a wider corridor to perform the "mole test" and the shifted ESP trigger threshold. Electronics still dorms, and the driver already displays a crossover from the drift.

Right strong

The new Actyon is the firstborn among SsangYong crossovers, so they are exclaimed some flaws in the decoration of the cabin and ergonomics. But how to react to the lack of a clear protection of the aggregates under the bottom of the brain of the institution of an invalid brand? Under the cartridge engine and the machine whistles wind. The plastic boot, the next immediately after the bumper, was broken into the shreds during off-rho-rides of the previous "brigade" and carries, apparently, a purely decorative function. We did not find serious "rescue means" of a gas tank, which was a little dance.

In terms of the bottom of the bottom of the bottom to contacts with the harsh Russian reality, Tiguan is preferable to the opponent. Under the engine crankcase installed iron plate, on the sides - plastic lining. The exhaust path is stubborn in the tunnel, and the rear transverse stability stabilizer covers the coupling housing.

But on off-road geometry absolute parity - both cars are very similar to the lumen and corners of the entry, the congress and ramps. Even the articulation is almost the same. When it came to practical exercises in the form of overcoming the "Tower", it turned out that the "Korean", wagged in the "Velcro" Dunlop with much better coupling properties than at the summer bridgestone on Tiguan, feels more confident. It is also worth noting that none of the cars are noticed in overheating and disconnecting the inter-axis coupling after "mud baths".

Volkswagen Tiguan Weakly reach competitors in many criteria. Fold adequate value, great driving properties, excellent ergonomics, high-quality interior, and you will get almost perfect "weapons" in a compact segment.

SsangYong lost to the "German", but did not seem to be superfluous on someone else's holiday. The manufacturer successfully managed a good and quite balanced crossover. It is not bad equipped, it is cheaper of diesel rivals from the country of morning freshness and is already beginning to "settle" on Russian roads. Yes, only the buyer today picky. Will Actyon surpass, for example, other Koreans - Kia Sportage or Hyundai IX35? The answer will be the results of sales.
