It is believed that the optimal power unit for a real SUV is diesel. But can the "tractor thrust" be able to turn a parcoatnik in a decent "passing"? To find out this, we arranged another comparative test: they took a couple of diesel crossovers, and as a reference SUV in the company "invited" the real jeep - Cherokee. Of course, also diesel
It would seem that these are completely different things - crossovers and SUVs. But we have not for the first time to compare "incomparable", and, as practice shows, the result is not always 100% predictable. In addition, it is only at first glance between parquet Nissan X-Trail, Hyundai Santa Fe and a burnt "Podgo" Jeep Cherokee lies a huge abyss. However, if you look more closely, it turns out that there are more similarities more than differences - it is enough to look at the main design features of today's experimental. All three cars have carrier bodies - this time. All all-wheel drive transmissions with the connection of the second axis through a multi-disc clutch are two. Finally, all today's rivals have an independent front suspension - three.
And differences? At Cherokee, behind the restriction bridge, while X-Trail and Santa Fe have independent multi-dimensional suspensions. But the most important thing is that there is a "Rfai" in the Cherokee rattage, and his rivals boast the same, alas, can not.
Turn to archives
For the first time, the name of Cherokee in the model range of the Jeep branch appeared in 1974 - it was obtained by a three-door version of Jeep Wagoneer. In 1984, the second generation of the model was debuted - more compact and with a bearing body. The SUV replaced him in 2001 received the name Liberty. However, outside North America, it was still sold as Jeep Cherokee. Liberty / Cherokee fourth generation started in 2007. It was on him a new handouting box - SELEC-TRAC II with a multid-wide clutch, automatically connecting the wheel of the front axle.
Hyundai Santa Fe appeared in 2000. He became the first crossover in the history of the Korean firm. The experience of developing all-wheel drive cars at Hyundai at that time was practically no, and yet the first pancake was not a com. After changing generations that occurred in 2006, the firstborn did not go on peace, and after some time began to be produced in Taganrog as Santa Fe Classic.
The 2WD program implies that all the thrust is transmitted to the front wheels. In Auto mode with a straight line uniform movement along a smooth dry road, only the front wheels are also leading. But when slipping one of them, part of the torque begins to be transmitted to the rear axle. In this case, through the wheels of the rear axle, up to 50% of the thrust can be implemented. In Lock mode, the coupling discs are in a fixed position.
Between the wheels, the torque distributes simple symmetric differentials (D). There is a system of imitation of their locks, which works in a relatively wide range. If the angular velocity of one of the axis wheels to a certain value exceeds the angular velocity of the other wheel, the running wheel is slowed down. Increase the properties of the car on off-road, it is possible to disconnect the system of dynamic control of the course stability. The button is placed on the left side of the steering column.

The appearance of Santa Fe designers, undoubtedly succeeded. Tightly shot down, with the correct proportions of the body flashes with clean lines and is completely devoid of oriental personality. To think only - a few years ago, a good tone was criticized by Korean design. And here on you! But "Drew" the appearance of Santa Fe is in Korea, unlike the first-generation machine, created in the California design center and distinguished, let's say, quite "rich plastic".
The quality interior is in something echoes the interior design of the first Lexus RX: similar vertical deflectors and a large pseudo-shaped "horseshoe", framing the center console. The insertion of the tree on the front panel looks quite natural and it is quite appropriate, the hard plastic skillfully masked under the soft, and the overall impression of the salon is: if inexpensive, then, in any case, solid.
Ergonomics Koreans also paid a lot of attention. The ranges of adjustments of the chair and the steering wheel are good, and the position of the ram is configured and on the corner, and by departure. All buttons are easily accessible. Some falls out of a blatant picture of the climate control system: it is too long distract from the road due to the fact that the display is low, and the image on it is overloaded with parts.
Flat front seats are covered with perforated skin of good dressing. After they are sitting on them, they are "pushing" under any shape and quite well distribute the load. However, the armchairs are highly installed, and even in the lower position of the adjustment, over the heads of the tall sedocks, there is a small margin of space.
Passengers of the rear sofa are located comfortably - here is obese and threesome, and there is enough place for the legs. The services of the local inhabitants are located on the middle racks of the body, climatic installation deflectors, adjustable by the tilt of the back, and the folding armrest equipped with cup holders. The trunk of the Korean crossover turned out to be the most capacious among three cars, which is not surprising, because Santa Fe is designed to install the third row of seats. Well, in the absence of the gallery, the cargo compartment has an enviable capacity. Plus, the underground niches can be "attached" a bunch of different smallers.
Hyundai Santa Fe.

Hyundai Santa Fe power unit is located in front. When moving along a smooth dry road with a constant speed, the entire torque is transmitted to the front wheels. When slipping one of them, part of the thrust (up to 50%) begins to be transmitted to the rear axle. For this process, a multid-wide friction clutch controlled by electronics (M) is responsible.
The driver has the ability to forcibly change the distribution of thrust in the transmission: on the center panel to the left of the steering column there is a clutch blocking button - 4WD LOCK.
Another way to increase the properties of the car on off-road is the ability to disconnect the dynamic stability control system: the ESP OFF key is located next to the 4WD LOCK button.
Between the wheels of both axes, the torque is distributed by simple symmetric (conical) differentials (E). There is a system of imitation of the blocking of differentials by operating the brake mechanisms. When slipping one of the axis wheels and reaching a certain difference between the angular velocities, the running wheel is brazed. As our tests have shown, this system works in a relatively wide range and allows the driver to confidently overcome light off-road.
Road habits
Turbodiesel accelerates a two-ton Jeep Cherokee relatively well. Overclocking dynamics can be considered sufficient with clean conscience, but no more. And although in our tripler Cherokee turned out to be the most frisky, on the convenience of controlling a set of speed and deceleration, it is inferior to rivals due to the too narrow operating range of the engine, with not too successful setting up the machine. Through the Jeep confidently, but the suspension configured for Off-Round responds to intensive braking with sharp deep clips. And on the asphalt wave, Cherokee appears a diagonal routine. But on the primer, everything becomes in its place - here Jeep clearly feels in its plate and allows you to maintain a good pace, easily coping with irregularities.
Nissan X-Trail is felt on the go, how to say it, more passenger, or something. Although it has both common character traits with Cherokee. The X-Trail also willingly indulge in a roll on the canopy wave and is also tangible in turns. But the control reacts with responsiveness, and it has a noticeable steering wheel than that of Cherokee. At the primer, the X-Trail is almost just as good as Jeep, "due to the long-pass and energy-intensive suspension, he swallows the pits and Colds.
Hyundai Santa Fe character is even closer to asphalt. At least on the road, it is managed better than the competitors: in the turns confidently stands on the trajectory, willingly respond to the steering steering, and his steering wheel is acute and informative. Yes, and rolls in maneuvers are small. True, on the dynamics, it is inferior to Cherokee, and the X-Trail loses on the responsiveness of the machine. But Santa Fe is the most understandable and well-projected in reactions to feed and reset the gas and the engine is better than others. And on the comfort of the suspension on good roads and according to the ability to handle small irregularities, it often beats both rivals - he has the most smooth move and at the same time there is practically no routine.
Main question
_Hundai_Nissan_Jeep_Page_11_Image_0001.jpg)
And what about off-road? And is there any use crossovers from diesel? In love with us to clarify this issue, the primary track with a large number of rates and descents of Raskislah after the autumn rains, which confused us the cards. The first plan came out the coupling properties of rubber, and not the engine thrust. Nevertheless, shed light on the behavior of diesel particle posts still succeeded.
It is the tractor's character of the "tractor" motors allowed our ward to confidently move along slippery soil even on highway tires. In the most problematic places, cars made their way "quiet sail" - almost on idle turns. The gasoline motor traction clearly would not have enough and would have to add a gas station that in such conditions almost inevitably leads to slipping and slipping under the slope. And our "tractor drivers", glory Rudolf Diesel, was able to sneak everywhere slowly.
Do not discount the advantage of hydromechanical automata in such circumstances. They allow smoothly, avoiding slipping, increase the thrust on the wheels and thereby recruiting the move in front of the next slippery ace
With a reservation
Jeep felt at the crossing of the rest. The presence of a lower series in transmissions and more aggressive settings of electronic intercole "locks" were affected. But it is worth making a reservation. In the course of the test, we did not have the opportunity to face a serious rut. And here the "American" could have problems, because the clearance was recorded by our measurements under the front suspension amounted to only 165 mm. And even if dismantling the optional protection of the power unit (which is not GUT), the ground clearance would hardly increase more than a couple of centimeters. But this level is not even the most advanced on off-Round Parketnik! So make conclusions yourself.
Nissan has proven itself very worthy - again due to electronics and good articulation. Santa Fe escakes only in situations with diagonal hanging: it was not able to cope with the slip of the unloaded wheels. And because of the shortest suspension, such difficulties had to experience more often than others. But in the rest, he also kept well done, no fear of rivals.
Summing up, it can be stated that diesel particlers have an undoubted advantage over its gasoline fell-off-road. However, in the study of the issue of their passability, not all points over "I" are still placed, and we will certainly return to him. Perhaps more than once.

Crossovers or SUVs adapted for urban conditions are designed not only to overcome off-road, but also to dominate the city and on the highway. Comfort these cars is comparable to the convenience of sedan, and the permeability is worthy of respect for the most revealed extremes.
Bright representatives of this interesting class - Korean Hyundai Santa Fe. And Japanese Nissan X-Trail. High-level cars attracted all travel lovers who want to escape from the city bustle.
Hyundai Santa Fe in the usual urban conditions - a comfortable front-wheel drive car, calmly moving in the city's downtown, without opening its main qualities. When leaving the city, he immediately appears in nature and thanks to the high lumen with the distribution of power over the axes easily and easily swallows snow dumps, off-road and shallow water obstacles.
Elegant with its classic off-road design Nissan X-TRAIL The main drive has a rear with automatic or forcibly connected front. For the urban cycle, the rear drive mode is used or "Auto", which helps in bad weather conditions to distribute traction effort. Both in appearance and in the internal filling, many combines these cars and so much between them differences.
New Hyundai Santa Fe. Externally, I absorbed the design elements of the best representatives of their class. In it there is a little from infinity and Tuarega plus something dynamic from tribechki. The car is simply intended for a big friendly family. 7 people are free in its cabin, however, it is necessary to buy a separate roof trunk.
When landing, 5 people are all placed very comfortable, and there is plenty of luggage space. Rear passengers have their own fan and air bag. The driver's seat is designed as conveniently possible, equipped with electrical controls in height and support for the lumbar department. A sufficient number of boxes for small things, there is also a refrigerator located in the front armrest. So, at hand there is always a cooling drink.
Nissan X-Trail In an expensive configuration, there is a leather interior, an electric hatch and a number of additional functions that increase the comfort of the driver and passengers. Trips on off-road car tolerates easily, because it is intended for this. Thanks to the system of exchange rate stability and the system for monitoring the distribution of traction efforts on the slopes and lifting the machine always copes with the tasks.
Hyundai cars already have climate control and height-adjustable steering wheel in the basic configuration. Cruise control and full electric car, formerly in options, today are included in the basic configuration. In additional options, Santa Fe has only a leather interior and a hatch electric drive, everything else is turned on. Hyundai dealers in our country offer Hyundai Santa Fe in various equipment.
Electronic equipment of both cars at the highest level: the on-board computer display is multifunctional, the information is easily read. The main difference between these "conscientious road workers" - in the engines supplied with them.
Nissan X-Trail is completed with two types of gasoline engines - two-liter and two and a half liters. Hyundai Santa Fe is also equipped with a powerful diesel unit. As you know, diesel, thanks to its torque, preferably to use cars on off-road.
Handy Santa Fe was characteristic, like a full-fledged SUV, and the comfort of an expensive sedan. Most owners of Hyundai Santa Fe Reviews about their favorite leave only positive, which is quite natural for this amazing car.
The safety of the car under consideration at the highest level. Front and side airbags are, all major and auxiliary brake systems meet the most modern standards. The Hyundai Santa Fe test showed good safety quality machines, for which the car was awarded a solid fours.
I decided to buy Hyundai Santa Fe gets a modern, comfortable, well-equipped car. Moreover, the Korean Hyundai Santa Fe is adequate, and not overestimated as Japanese representatives of this class.
No category of cars is so often compared as modern crossovers, and the opposition of the Japanese and Koreans is considered to be familiar. They love them and buy, forgetting about most European parquets. Often, choosing the most optimal vehicle, the future bus owner doubts what is better: Hyundai Santa Fe or Nissan X-Trail. As practice shows, both cars have a huge multitude of advantages, they began to compare with each other almost since the appearance on the Russian market. These machines occupy leading positions in their class.
Comparison Hyundai Santa Fe and Nissan X-Trail.
general information
Hyundai Santa Fe.
Initially, when the developers just started to work on the creation of Santa Fe, they, calling the car as well as one of the American cities, did not even think that this attractive crossover would ever get into the hands of the European Consumer. The car issued in 2000 began to sell in the US markets. When Koreans realized how large the demand for this model and how interesting the European average consumer is interested in it, they changed their concept sharply by starting work on the supply of cars to Russia. The advantage of Santa Fe can be called its ability to transformation, the developers annually modernize the model, innovations, as a rule, do not leave indifferent fans of the brand.
Almost 12 years ago, the first Santa Fe belonging to the second generation of the model was created. The effect of transformation was obvious, the modified car was completely out of the previous model, it was also rated and loved. In a short period of time, the car has become. Only 6 years ago, visitors to one New York car dealership were for the first time to consider Santa Fe third generation. A feature of the presented car was the possibility of executing a model with a 7-seater interior configuration. In 2012, the car was recognized as the safest in his class.
Nissan X-Trail
Interestingly, at the time of the development of Santa Fe, the Japanese worked on their unique crossover Nissan X-Trail. The Japanese car was presented to the world in the same 2000. The new auto industry model was based on the Nissan FF-S branded module. Apparently, it played the main role, the car began to win the hearts, sales were simply colossal. 2007 Gave the vehicle to the second generation to motorists. The changes that Nissan X-Trail underwent was a huge amount. The X-TRAIL received a new body platform, which has already been tested on the Cascaj model. This time, the Japanese again smiled at luck, the model became the most powerful crossover, which existed at that time.
In 2012, when the creation of a third generation machine began, it became clear that the novelty would have a lot in common with Casca. These vehicles have an identical modular platform. For more than three years, the car is collected at one of the St. Petersburg enterprises. Due to the fact that the career growth of these vehicles began to increase in the same year, the planned modernization of cars practically coincided, which can speak of equality of models relative to this indicator.
Appearance Hyundai Santa Fe and Nissan X-Trail
If you compare Hyundai Santa Fe and Nissan X-Trail, the Korean first generation car can be called relatively ridiculous and tasteless. The opinion of experts was reduced to such due to the presence of asymmetric elements and too simple "transition". True, for Americans, this essential drawback was deprived of any meaning, the car was actively bought. For the second upgraded version of the machine to have a big aesthetics, the very best specialists invited the plant from around the world. It is worth saying that for Santa Fe, the second generation has played an important role, the appearance became more pleasant and presentable, the elements at that time appeared on the bodies. As for the third generation machine, this is a vehicle that has gained a relief and dynamic exterior. In design, the main emphasis is placed on aggressiveness and sportiness machine.
If we talk about the X-Trail, then even the first generation machine had a more pretty design, the Japanese gave a car a few interesting elements that were inherent in the SUV patrol. Because of this, the crossover, which came down from the conveyor of the Japanese car industry, gained a very angular exterior with strict appearance. This approach was especially loved by domestic motorists. As for the upgraded version, it largely repeated the external features of the predecessor, while having pleased buyers with their stomitics and solidity.
Speaking about the exterior of the X-Trail of the Third Generation, it is worth noting the loss of the former practicality, the focus of the latter model came to the brightness and dynamism of the interior, which made it possible to gain a lot of new fans. According to experts, internally more, as for Korean, it is focusing on the technologicality and stylish decorative details.
Features related to specifications
Comparing the pretty X-Trail and Santa Fe relative to the installed power units, it is worth noting the Santa Fe engine. This car can be equipped with a motor volume of 2.0 liters. And the most powerful device with a volume of 3.3 liters. At the same time, the X-trail boasts only a 2.5 liter engine.
As for models produced in 2017, both vehicles have almost identical volume. Santa Fe 2017 is equipped with a power unit with a volume of 2.2 and 2.4 liters, and Nissan X-Trail 2017 is 1.6, 2.0 and 2.5 liters. As the studies conducted, power, the capacity of the fuel tank and the speed of overclocking are up to 100 km. - The prerogative of Korean, however, it is impossible to go around the economy and clearance of the "Japanese".
Hyundai Santa Fe and Nissan X-TRAIL last release are equipped with mechanical variator transmissions.
Speaking about the size of vehicles, it is worth noting their similarity, the length of Santa Fe is more than 60 mm. (4700 mm. Against 4640 mm.), At the same time, the width of the first car exceeded the second on an identical amount (1880 mm. And 1820 mm. Respectively). Only in height Korean lost to the Japanese (1675 and 1710 mm.).
Many, when buying such as a crossover, is interested in its volume and weight, if you compare X-trail and Santa Fe, it will become clear that the weight of the second car is an order of magnitude more (varies in the range of 1773 - 2040 kg.), The first machine weighs somewhat less ( from 1445 to 1637 kg.).
Service cost
Before talking about the cost of servicing vehicles, it is worth noting them. The most simple Santa Fe will cost the buyer at 1856,000 rubles, you can pay at least 500 thousand less, the basic option costs 1294,000 rubles. If we talk only about numbers, the purchase of X-trail looks more appropriate.
Opportunities of power aggregates
To say unequivocally, what is better: Santa Fe or X-Trail relative to the engines, not easy. If the motorist wants to ride a more powerful vehicle, it is worth paying attention to only the Korean, he and the volume of force aggregates and, accordingly, the return of more.

Despite the rapid drop in sales this year, SUVs still remain in favorites and occupy high positions in the rating list in the consumer market. However, this class is not a budget. But, despite all the fluctuations and difficulties of the market, new models of third-generation SUVs are debuted - Nissan X-Trail and Hyundai Santa Fe.
The modern model of Nissan X-TRAIL outwardly transformed. In the image there were cardinal changes, smooth circuits came to replace clear and stringent forms. Now the fetal headlights have a LED framing, the radiator grille is decorated with a chrome-plated molding. The SUV pronounced the front wings and profiling sidewalls. There is a spoiler on the roof of the body, the fifth door is decorated with a metal insert, and the bumper is recycled with a wide air intake.
SUV HYUNDAI SANTA FE is characterized by a profile with arcooked roof and short bodies, and the window frame has smooth proportions in the area of \u200b\u200bthe rear windows. Wheel arches have become a bulk, and the muscles of the SUV gives the relief of the hood and side wings. Panoramic rear window is equipped with a spoiler.
Nissan X-Trail is more compact in size to its competitor Hyundai Santa Fe, but not looking at the length of less, but the distance between the axes and the salon height is greater. The front and rear armchairs at the X-TRAIL have horizontal adjustment, in addition to Santa Fe competitor, a comfortable heated seats are integrated. Santa Fe enabarits are much heavier than his competing "comrade". Inside the salon, it is very concise and restrained, the salon is decorated with leather trim and metal inserts under the "aluminum", and the dial-up disk with a fairly pleasant blue backlight is recessed into the gutter.
Between them is an on-board computer. Modular in the form of the console is inclined into which the color monitor is integrated. The steering column is adjustable in several planes, and the climate system is easy to control. The driver's seat is equipped with an electric drive. The front seats are comfortable, but the lack of side support slightly overshadows. Hyundai Santa Fe has a spacious luggage compartment.
In principle, we analyze equal SUVs, which have the equipment of the stabilization system, the electric drive of the side mirrors, additionally, the Nissan X-Trail has a lighting and rain sensor, cruise control. But in Hyundai Santa Fe, an access system is provided without a key, and the Nissan X-TRAIL is equipped with a navigation system and an electric 5th door, but is equipped with only six airbags. Against this background, Nissan X-Trail stands out, which has seven airbags.
These SUVs are equipped with a gasoline four-cylindered engine, but Santa Fe remains the most powerful and high-speed right. In the average range, the engine manifests itself stable, at high speed running smoothly and almost silently. Equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, which allows you to type fast speed. More economical is Santa Fe with Turbodiesel.
The inter-axis differential can be blocked by these two SUVs. On the off-road Nissan X-Trail behaves much better, although this model is not calculated for serious obstacles. SANTA FE competitor is endowed with an elastic suspension, unlike Nissan whose suspension is designed for a soft ride.
If you summarize, it turns out that Nissan attracts a rich inner decoration and equipped, and Santa Fe is a spacious luggage compartment, a comfortable lounge and an ideal course stability.
