Hyundai Solaris, Nissan Almera, Volkswagen Polo Sedan: the likelihood of a chimera. Which is better to choose: Nissan Almera or Hyundai Solaris? A complete list of advantages at an affordable cost

The Nissan Almera car is well suited for domestic motorists. This is a representative of the budget class, but it is not devoid of comfort, reliability, cross-country ability and maintainability. The model has become so fond of Russian motorists that it seems to have "eclipsed" the budget cars of other manufacturers. In order to find out whether this is so or not, you need to compare which is better - Nissan Almera or Hyundai Solaris?

The comparison will be carried out according to several criteria, such as design, interior and exterior of the cabin, technical characteristics and features, price.

Design

Almera is a "synthesis" of two models: budget Renault Logan and cars of a more expensive class - Nissan Bludfert City. In many respects, it was from the more prestigious version that the "Japanese" received the body, which was slightly corrected due to the increased dimensions of the vehicle. Despite the expensive origin, the body “shows” the class of the car in all its appearance: the absence of stamped elements, the ascetic appearance as a whole. The radiator grille is chrome-plated, as well as the huge front optics at least somehow remind of the more expensive "brother" of Almera.

Hyundai Solaris looks more impressive: stampings, aggressive appearance, a more streamlined body, and the lights are harmonious, both front and rear. Of course, the comparison showed that the Solaris received a more elaborate design.

But it is worth noting that Almera also looks impressive, and probably many motorists are satisfied with the design of the "Japanese", but Solaris looks fresher and more aggressive.

Interior and interior features

If Almera's body is somehow trying to "disguise" the budget of the car, then the interior completely and completely indicates the segment of inexpensive cars. Elementary, the interior design is copied from ... Renault Logan. This is due to the goal of making production cheaper and assembling better and more durable machines. But in the salon of Almera there is a lot of space where 5 people can comfortably accommodate.

The interior of a Korean car, when compared with Almera, is easy to confuse with the interior of a car of a more expensive class. More comfortable seats and a girth of the steering wheel, the presence of blue LED backlighting, elegant lines and shapes. But the whole “idyll” ends as soon as the first test drive of the model is carried out: low-quality materials and insufficient space return the motorist “from heaven to earth”.

As for the interior, it all depends on the scope of use of the car: for example, elegant lines and illuminated illumination are not so important for family trips, for them space and simplicity are important.

But the young people will definitely like the Solaris salon.

Specifications and features

A good car is not only presentable design, but also good technical characteristics. Almera received transmission and powertrain from Renault Logan. A 1.6-liter engine with a capacity of 102 liters is installed on the car. With. It functions in conjunction with manual transmission and automatic transmission (manual and automatic transmission). The manual transmission has 5 speeds, the automatic transmission has 4 speeds. The car is economical (8.5 liters per hundred kilometers of mixed driving), reliability, ease of operation and maintainability.

Hyundai received the same engine in terms of volume, but more powerful - 123 hp. With. and 1.4 liters with a capacity of 107 liters. With. The car accelerates faster than its "rival", improved smoothness is felt. A six-speed manual transmission and a five-speed automatic transmission are other features of the Korean car. Solaris also boasts excellent dynamics and control, and the suspension is no worse than that of Almera. You can get an incredible feeling and pleasure from driving a Hyundai. Driving Almere is a lot like driving Renault Logan - a routine process without driving pleasure.

Trunk volume

If we compare these two models by this criterion, then Almera gets the “palm”. The trunk of a Japanese car has a capacity of 500 liters. The luggage compartment of Solaris is not so voluminous and has a capacity of 470 liters. In addition, the trunk of the "Japanese" is closed much more tightly.

Price

To the question "What is better Nissan Almera or Hyundai Solaris?" the price of these machines can "answer". The cost of a Japanese car in the basic configuration will cost a motorist 581 thousand rubles, and for 717 thousand you can get an option with an excellent audio system, an on-board computer and a host of other "useful things".

Compared with the Japanese car Solaris is more expensive, the basic configuration of the model will cost 596 thousand rubles, and the top-end one will cost 899 900 rubles. But for this money, a number of options are installed on the car, which are more inherent in the executive class models.

Conclusion

Summing up, it is worth summarizing that the Hyundai Solaris is a sportier, more dynamic and manageable car. The model is equipped with a good range of options, and even the basic version of Solaris is much more comfortable than the similar version of Almera. However, some crampedness and low quality of finishing materials "base" make it clear that Solaris is still a middle class car. The car is ideal for people who are interested in "gadgets" in the form of musical equipment, illumination of buttons and speedometers, the aggressive appearance of the car and the sophistication of the interior.

Almera does not have such a wide configuration, but the advantages of this car are different: simplicity, asceticism, economy, reliability and spaciousness. The car is ideal for the role of "family" or courier. In addition, the "Japanese" is much cheaper than its Korean competitor.

Despite the advantages of the "Korean" over the "Japanese", it is still unambiguous to decide: "Nissan Almera or Hyundai Solaris?" - will not work.

The advantages of each vehicle are preferable only with the area of ​​their application. Nissan is more of a family car, Hyundai is more youthful.

Buying a car is a financially costly business, so every car enthusiast faces a difficult choice of which car to prefer so as not to make a mistake. And when it comes to budget sedans, the gaze often falls on "Asian" cars.

The Japanese car industry has an impeccable reputation, and the quality of Japanese cars is legendary. But in recent years, the Japanese are stepping on their heels, and even quite confidently, South Korea, whose cars have become popular in Russia due to the increased quality and affordable cost. Therefore, a car enthusiast may be confused, what to choose - a solid Japanese Nissan Almera or a nimble Korean Hyundai Solaris? It's time to figure it out.

"Affordable" Japanese

The Nissan Almera is a presentable Japanese sedan that first appeared in 2012. In 2017, a new generation of the model was presented. It was developed specifically for Russia as an affordable and reliable car that will suit the general population. The assembly of the sedan was organized at the Volzhsky plant in cooperation with the alliance of Nissan and Renault, which significantly reduced the price of the model.

Nissan Almera was built on the Renault Logan platform, which determines the interior features and technical characteristics of the Japanese sedan. The exterior is designed in Bluebird Sylphy style. Cars are equipped with an engine volume 1.6 l which gives 102 h.p. power and maximum speed 185 km / h... This is not very much by modern standards. The economy of the model is also average - 7 liters.

Such a car accelerates to a hundred square meters in 10.9 s. Almera is presented in two versions: with a manual 5-speed gearbox and a 4-speed automatic transmission. Nissan has a smooth ride, good handling and excellent suspension that provides comfort to passengers on any road surface.

Korean bestseller

Hyundai Solaris is an absolute success for the Korean car industry. Appearing on the Russian market in 2011, this model won the love of motorists and took a firm place among the best-selling cars. In 2017, an updated model was presented, equipped with two engine options - 1.4 l and 1.6 l providing power in 100 and 123 hp... respectively. The gearbox is also made in two versions - 6-speed mechanics and 6-speed automatic. The novelty is based on the same platform that was used in the previous generation.

The updated model received improved handling and roadholding at high speeds. The acceleration time to one hundred meters was reduced to 10.3 s, and the fuel consumption is 6 liters. Smooth lines, headlights with a slight squint, an interesting grille, convex wheel arches make the model extremely attractive.

Is there anything in common?

To be sure, the Nissan Almera and Hyundai Solaris share some common traits that put the two models in a competitive position:

  • Both cars are assembled in Russia. For some car enthusiasts, this is an important factor when choosing a car.
  • Both models are equipped with front-wheel drive only.
  • Fuel tank volume - 50 liters.
  • Clearance is 160 mm.
  • Equipped with a mechanical or automatic transmission.
  • Maximum speed - 185 km / h.
  • The models are presented in 4 configuration options.
  • Both cars don't look budget-friendly.

Perhaps this is all that two foreign cars have in common. Otherwise, they are very, very different.

What are the differences?

And these two cars differ in many ways. And here the following parameters can be distinguished:

  1. Exterior... Solaris has a striking appearance, due to the V-shaped grille, modified taillights, a short trunk, complex shapes of the front lighting technology and the smallest details of the body. Such a car looks presentable and modern. The Almera's appearance has a completely different focus. It resembles a Nissan Teana and is made with a pretense to be like a higher class car. However, compared to Solaris, the model looks a little simple due to the lack of interesting body elements, too long hood and too rounded shapes.
  2. Interior... Almera was created on the Renault Logan platform, and the developers simply copied the interior of the French car, which significantly reduced the price of the model. Therefore, inside Nissan you can see an ascetic and simple design, due to inexpensive hard plastic, a relatively empty front panel, and simple devices. However, the instruments are easy to read, which is a plus. Salon Solaris is radically opposite, it looks stylish and functional, despite the fact that the plastic is just as hard here.
  3. Dimensions (edit)... Solaris is smaller than its competitor in size, but heavier. The trunk volume is larger for the Japanese - 500 liters versus 480 liters for the Korean sedan.
  4. Interior space... By the availability of free space, Solaris loses to Almera. Although sitting in a Korean sedan is comfortable, and the seats have good support and the necessary rigidity, there is not enough space both on top and on the sides. In Almera it will be comfortable for both large and tall people, and there is space for the rear passengers' legs under the front seats.
  5. Dynamic qualities... The Japanese sedan's engine looks outdated and weak compared to the Korean's modern engine, although both are 1.6L (102bhp versus 123bhp). Solaris is more active, accelerates faster, reacts sensitively to road conditions. Nissan pulls well at low revs, but at high revs it starts to get lost. It does not have the same agility as its Korean competitor, but it is more manageable and calm. Almeru is let down by an outdated 4-speed automatic, which forces the car to quickly jump to high revs. Solaris has a 6-speed gearbox that provides smooth acceleration.
  6. Profitability... Nissan has high fuel consumption, especially in urban areas. For a budget car, this is not the best quality.
  7. Chassis... The Korean's suspension is stiff enough, which does not add comfort to passengers on imperfect road surfaces. On tight turns, the model may roll. Almera, on the other hand, is indifferent to road irregularities, rides smoothly and calmly, but has deep roll and no reverse steering effort.
  8. Price... Nissan will be cheaper. The basic equipment costs 641 thousand rubles, although it cannot be called rich. There is no air conditioning or audio system. The maximum configuration can cost up to 800 thousand rubles, and this is less than that of the Korean competitor. Solaris in the basic configuration will cost 694 thousand rubles, but for this price you can only purchase a model with a 1.4.-liter engine and manual transmission. For a 1.6-liter engine with an automatic machine, you will have to pay about 800 thousand rubles, but there are much more options here than in the same Almera. The richest equipment of the Korean sedan costs 950 thousand rubles, which cannot be called a budget option.

What should you choose?

Solaris is more suitable if the car enthusiast has a small body size, often travels in a small company and does not need a roomy trunk. The car is also preferable for fans of sporty driving style and maneuvers on the road. Basically, it is chosen by young people who follow modern trends and prefer versatility and bright style. Moreover, the model is economical.

Almera is more preferable for those who value first of all the comfort of both their own and their passengers, transporting large loads and a large company. This model, for its solid appearance, is more often chosen by people of age who have a calm driving style, go out of town and are able to provide a not entirely economical engine.

Which car to prefer is hard to say. Perhaps these two models have too different audiences to choose between them.

In the spring of 2014, AvtoVAZ switched to assembling updated Nissan sedans, and then, two months later, restyled cars appeared at Hyundai dealers. This means that the Hyundai Solaris and Nissan Almera models were updated almost simultaneously. By that time, the Russian plant of the Hyundai firm had been working regularly for three years. We will not campaign for the purchase of this or that car, we will just compare two different sedans in the top-end configuration. You need to compare the shortcomings - it will be more interesting.

How to drive Almera with automatic transmission? Watch a video with an example.

Both cars are equipped with power steering and ABS, but Hyundai has an anti-roll bar. However, this option can be attributed to the little things that are not so in demand on the road.

Two different cars from 2014

Vehicle weight

Each of the two sedans belongs to the B-class, only their weight is different, 1150 versus 1200 kg. The suspension of the "heavy Almera" is able to swallow irregularities, and it excludes the swinging of the stern. The same cannot be said about Solaris shock absorbers. Add some stiffness and noticeable roll in turns.

In the Nissan Almera sedan, rear shock absorbers sometimes fail. They do the job well, but they do not "live" long.

16-inch alloy wheels can be installed on the Hyundai Solaris, but not on the Almeria. However, this is not recommended: the front arches are scratched.

Dokatka Hyundai

In the trunk of the Solaris sedan, we see a stowaway, not a spare wheel. Trunk volume is also different - 500 liters versus 470.

Ergonomics

Almera's seat cushions lack lateral support. There are no height adjustments here, not like the Hyundai. The back of the sofa in each of the cars folds, but if we talk about the Hyundai sedan, three adult passengers in the back seat will never comfortably sit.

In the salon of Almera

Hyundai Solaris belongs to compact cars, but Almera with its enlarged interior is more of a BC class. The dashboard in the Nissan car looks archaic, but the display diagonal here is larger, and the media center is equipped with a built-in navigator. The impression is spoiled only by the miniature screen installed on the tidy. Hyundai has everything in order with this screen.

In the saloon of the Solaris sedan

The size of the mirrors is larger for Almera, the design does not differ, and only Solaris has repeaters of turns. There is no automatic folding anywhere.

Body dimensions of Solaris and Almera

Hyundai / Nissan:

  • Length: 4375/4656 mm;
  • Width: 1700/1695 mm;
  • Height: 1470/1522 mm;
  • Clearance: 160/160 mm.

Motor + automatic transmission

Almera's engine develops 102 "forces" and it pulls perfectly in the 2000-3500 rpm range. The engine of the Hyundai sedan is more powerful, moreover, it is aggregated with an automatic transmission in six steps. However, both cars accelerate in the same way up to a speed of 70 km / h.

Hyundai ICE series "Gamma II"

The Hyundai box also has a manual shift mode. Well, Almera has more gas pedal travel, and it will be easier to drive this car in the city.

ICE Nissan series "HR16DE" or Renault "H4M"

Parameters

Hyundai / Nissan:

  • Power - 123/102 hp;
  • Internal combustion engine volume - 1591/1598 cm3;
  • Fuel consumption per 100 km, city - 8.8 / 11.9 liters;
  • The same, track - 5.2 / 6.5 liters;
  • Maximum speed - 185/175 km / h;
  • Acceleration to 100 km / h - 11.2 / 12.7 s.

Both engines "eat" 95th gasoline. And if you need economy, you need to buy a Hyundai Solaris, and a Nissan Almera with exorbitant fuel consumption is more suitable for a museum. But don't be in a hurry. Such a parameter as durability turns out to be better for Almera: 250 thousand km versus 180.

The Jatco box, imported by Nissan, can overheat. Which can lead to breakdowns. It looks like it is better to buy Almeria with "mechanics".

Why are six steps needed

It seems that a six-speed automatic transmission is installed then to provide better acceleration dynamics. In reality, a large number of steps are needed only for efficiency. Even if you press the pedal to the floor, the Solaris machine does not change gears often. And so the 1.6-liter Gamma II isn't too bad - it can do a lot from any gearbox.

Buy better: Hyundai Solaris or Nissan Almera

Not so long ago, in 2016, the Hyundai Solaris family came out on top in sales in Russia. Lada was in second place, but there were no Nissan models in the top three.

Under the hood of Solaris 1.6

Obviously, buyers of new cars are not embarrassed by the fact that Hyundai motors do not have the greatest durability. You have to buy, and in order to increase the resource, the oil needs to be changed more often.

Under the hood of the sedan Almera

If you open the hood of Almera, we see almost the same engine as in Renault's budget sedan. Perhaps this scares away: they see the gas cable and decide not to buy ...

Let's look at the statistics for 2014 and 2015:

  • Solaris - 114644 and 115868;
  • Almera - 46225 and 25977.

For Nissan products, a drop in sales is characteristic. A possible reason is the rise in fuel prices.

Video: known problems of the new Almera

If you are looking for a budget sedan, then you cannot pass by Nissan. It really captivates with its low price, which is comparable to the cost of the achievements of domestic engineers. But before making a choice, it is worth considering another budget car option. Nissan Almera or Hyundai Solaris - which is better to choose? This question is of interest to many motorists. You need to consider it point by point.

Compare the appearance

If only looks were the defining criterion of choice, then there would be no problem, what to choose: Nissan Almera or Hyundai Solaris. The Korean car is in the lead in this matter; by design, it leaves all competitors as outsiders. The Japanese have created a classic model with a discreet appearance. Such a car will pass by and you will not remember it. The design was created with an eye to respectable customers, it looks like a car and does not belong to the budget. The only positive thing is the absence of unusual design solutions on the body, which simplifies its repair. Too long hood looks awkward.

Solaris cannot be blamed for its simplicity. Unusual lighting fixtures and the smallest details of the body add to the appeal of this car. It is also difficult to say by its appearance that it is budgetary. The designers used classic Hyundai techniques, such as a V-shaped grille, when creating this sedan. Solaris is shorter than Almera by 30 centimeters and this is another positive point - the ratio of the car parts is ideal.

Salon

If we compare the salons, then Hyundai is again at its best. During the work on this car, the designers provided for everything. The salon looks very stylish, its content depends only on the future owner and the selected configuration, many useful devices can be installed independently or purchased as additional options.

It is better to look at Almeria from the outside. The designers did not over complicate the interior, so it is as simple as possible, which greatly reduces the cost of the car. But this car also has an advantage - it is very spacious... The back seat can accommodate 3 people, and if there are 2 of them, they can still work on full-size laptops. In the front seat, you will also not feel uncomfortable, even in winter clothes.

Power plant and gearbox

If you make a comparison, then you need to consider not the design of cars, but their dynamic qualities. Considering which is better, Nissan Almera or Hyundai Solaris, is a little incorrect, because the Korean sedan bypasses the creation of the Japanese car industry in many ways. Solaris has more power and overclocking speed, which gives it every right to consider itself a leader. It accelerates to one hundred kilometers per hour in just over 11 seconds, and its maximum speed is 185 km / h. In Almera, these indicators are more modest, she gives out a maximum speed of only 175 km / h, and gives out a "hundred" in almost 13 seconds.

Hyundai is very maneuverable, fast fuel supply allows it to react sensitively to road conditions. At the same time, its fuel consumption can be kept at about 6 liters per 100 kilometers, it can increase to 9 only if the traffic situation on city roads is difficult. Interestingly, Almera with its 1.6 engine can burn 12 liters of fuel each, which is completely unacceptable for such a unit. At low revs, the motor pulls well, and above 3500 rpm it is already lost.

This is due to the fact that the motor is complemented by a four-speed automatic transmission, which is already outdated. She changes gears too slowly, this problem can be avoided if you buy a car with mechanics... At Hyundai, the version with a six-speed gearbox is very popular, which responds well to the gas pedal and provides acceleration without jerks, stable and smooth.

Chassis

Well, the last criterion that will allow you to make the final choice of what to buy Solaris or Almeria is behavior on the road. Despite all the disadvantages of the opponent, Hyundai Solaris loses in terms of its driving characteristics to an inexpensive Japanese sedan. On a flat road, it behaves perfectly, but at the slightest irregularities it begins to "shake the whole body." Well, only the lazy does not know about the quality of domestic roads, so you should understand that the car will often behave this way. The trouble gets worse poor handling- the car rolls on sharp turns.

In their myths, the ancient Greeks talked about a creature with the head of a lion, the body of a goat and a snake instead of a tail. “The winged Chimera was born as a tiny creature. At the same time, she sparkled with the beauty of Argus and terrified the Satyr with the ugliness. It was a monster of monsters. " The word "chimera" also has a figurative meaning. They are called an idea that cannot be translated into reality. Couldn't it be from similar considerations that the idea of ​​building spacious, safe, well-equipped cars with a modest budget appeared?

Beauty charm

When communicating with "Solaris", it is not myths that come to mind, but Lem's novel of the same name, which tells about an intelligent ocean. The car looks harmonious, which is perhaps even an exception in the compact sedan class. In the course of a detailed acquaintance, one can also be convinced of his intelligence. Convenience is immediately felt, as if at ease, thanks to the familiar Japanese light control scheme, logical control of the stove and music. Its V-shaped console, which flows harmoniously into the dash, is able to cheer you up.

Test drive Hyundai Solaris:

However, you can also notice the disadvantages. Tall people begin to complain about: after several hours of driving, they sometimes have to move the seat and change the backrest angle. In addition, it lacks the steering wheel angle adjustment.

Compared to Solaris, Nissan is huge, even in spite of the slimming black color. The interior leaves no one indifferent. Nissan, on the one hand, is quite large-scale. The large exterior mirrors have good visibility. The driver's seat, which has a huge range of longitudinal adjustment, will please even a 2-meter person. On frosty December days, the interior warms up very quickly, while the windows do not freeze (unlike Solaris). Thanks to the Russian stove and the improved ventilation in the back.

Hyundai Solaris - sedan that conquered many motorists

However, such a budget salon, which is strongly associated with "Logan", does not fit a solid one. Although this opinion of some experts may be subjective. However, there are also objective claims. I would like to move the steering wheel a little, but this adjustment is not present in any configuration. Because of the one-sided, it gets so hot that it seems as if you are in Siberia in a convertible.

The other disadvantages include the lack of designation on the key on the central lock; Plenty of room on the door armrests for the power window buttons, but they sit on the console. In addition, the adjustment of the mirrors is also in a rather unfortunate place, namely, between the seats. In addition, you will have to learn how to accurately honk, because it is not always possible to immediately get into the end of the steering column lever on the left.

There are also flaws that relate, rather, to a specific instance: the creak of the right front seat, as well as at -20 ° C, the windows are hard to release the glass, and they are only raised by cm per second.

Volkswagen Polo Sedan - an inexpensive car with Volkswagen quality

The design, exterior and interior of the Volkswagen are rather restrained. The Polo model is finished with cold and echoing plastic. However, how often do we have to knock on interior details? It is much more important to sit in a comfortable driver's seat and which is adjustable in two planes. In addition, visual indexing of buttons will be useful. It is very pleasant to turn the knobs. All this contributes to the emergence of a sense of quality. It's not a pity to pay for this. The only thing is that the outside mirrors could be made a little larger and the air conditioner is more efficient.

Great peace

Now let's talk about comfort and practicality. Somehow I had to manage Solaris, which has the first one. There were complaints about the rear axle swaying at high speeds. Springs and shock absorbers with different properties have improved the situation. The sedan rides smoothly, without tiring the counting of joints and not rushing along the rut. However, tire rolling noise remains quite annoying.

But "Almera" is already a different level! It has a combination of excellent smoothness with. Perhaps, it is not easy to force “Almera” to close on the move. The effect is further enhanced by the silent operation of the chassis. It is necessary to release the pedal for silence, because the car is characterized by excellent sound and vibration isolation of the wheel arches and underbody. However, in the case of aggressive acceleration, the engine starts to wail loudly, and at high speeds aerodynamic noise occurs.

Test drive Volkswagen Polo:

Rushing the Polo is sad ... after the Nissan. The car moves rigidly, transferring everything that the wheels can find to the steering wheel and body. It is not possible to identify the noise dominant as the tires and the engine are singing together.

Passengers of "Solaris" are quite happy if there are two adults of average height behind, since the three of them are no longer very good. Tall passengers have to prop up the backs of the front seats with their knees and the ceiling with their heads.

That is why, against this background, Almera clearly wins with truly Russian spaces! The rear seats can comfortably accommodate even 3 adult men in winter clothes. At the same time, you cannot reach the front seats, the ceiling does not press, it is very convenient to enter and exit due to the wide door opening and the solid opening angle of the "gate".

Nissan Almera - a car designed for Russian spaces

"Polo" performs in the same way as "Solaris" - 5 people fit into it with difficulty. And the massive tunnel on the floor can ruin the life of the average passenger. However, the tilt of the sofa cushion is quite successful. It is easier to sit in it during a long trip than in other cars.

The volumes of all three luggage compartments matched up to a liter! However, everyone has the same problem - bulky hinges make it difficult to stack large boxes. However, the main disappointment is the non-folding back of the rear seat of the Nissan.

The power of the titans

As mentioned above, Hyundai is a completely different car with a new suspension. She stands, not frightened by inadequate reactions on the irregularities. In the near-zero zone, the steering wheel is empty, but after filling the car into a turn, the steering effort immediately increases to the required level. The only thing is that a rather rough drift with a steep bend can be considered bad manners. The most pleasant thing about this car is the tandem of the engine and transmission. It seems that the engine, in principle, will never stall. It pulls almost from idle, pleases the gearbox due to the clarity of the inclusions, and the right pedal quickly responds to its pressing.

Almera also has an easy start. The wide travels of the box do not spoil the shift at all. In addition, you can get into the transmission itself without any problems. A little alarming is the small transmission squeak in the highest gear. The engine "Nisan" is quite enough for optimal, but the speed is inferior to "Hyundai". In addition, if you don't let go of the gas pedal, you get such an average consumption that your mother don't worry (up to 13.8 liters per 100 km)! In addition, Nissan does not like active driving. Due to the "long" steering wheel, the presence of rolls, the absence of a stabilization system, a sporty driving style is not particularly possible.

But "Nissan" will not be hindered by any country lane, since it has a powerful 160 mm ground clearance in the base.

Test drive Nissan Almera:

If you want to play a little bit, welcome to ""! It is characterized by pleasant steering feedback and a slight tendency to skid when cornering. That being said, it is not difficult to keep it under control. However, the Polo has a stretched clutch and a delicate damped gas pedal.

Outcomes

Who can be called a chimera sedan? Nobody! All three cars offer a lot for just a ruble.

There is a reason to return to such tests once again, since something fresh constantly appears in them.
