Today's review will be especially interesting because it will help to understand what is better: Volkswagen Tiguan or Mazda CX5. Interesting, he will be due to the current situation in the market of crossovers and close attention to each of the cars.
In recent years, Tiguan is called a unconditional class leader. Its design, build quality, the choice of materials, the comfort of the suspension, the capacity and a wide range of options gives the right to call the crossover from Volkswagen the best in its segment. And the ratio of the power and engineering of motors, according to many, clog the last nails in the coffin cover of competitors. But is the leader really so inaccessible? Does anyone be able to make a "German" worthy competition? With the release of the new Mazda CX 5 in 2017, doubts began to custody in the minds. Let's spend a detailed comparison and find out if the Japanese were able to approach the ideal.
Appearance
At the moment, both cars are released in the second generation. Updated crossovers appeared on the Russian market in 2017. They received a fully recycled design, which is completely different, but in their own way flawless.
Volkswagen fully changed the design of his car line and focused on sharp straight lines, departing from the "Dry" body. The new Volkswagen Tiguan fell under the influence of this trend. Rounded lines in the body almost left. Front optics have clear horizontal lines that find the continuation in the radiator grille. The bumper became massive and brutal. The air intake on the front bumper added the stake of sportiness to this city car.
Fully change the perception of cars helped dimensions. Compared to the first generation, Tiguan 2017 became wider and lower. And due to the presence of a large number of horizontal lines stretched over the entire width of the front part, the crossover seems even more pressed against the ground. The length of the car also increased with the wheelbase. All this completely changed the geometry and the proportions of the body, giving enjoying a completely new VW Tiguan 2017.
Nevertheless, the Germans are Germans. In all design of the appearance, stylish restraint is brightly traced. It is not in vain called almost an ideal car in the class, because even in the exterior there is nothing to complain about. And for someone it can become a minus.
Some car enthusiasts of the new Volkswagen Tiguan 2017 will seem too right and perfect. It is made as a textbook, and it prevents the car to find the "soul".
Those who in appearance need a raisin, and not exactly verified proportions, should be closed to Zoom-Zoom. The new Mazda CX 5 was built on the same platform as the previous generation. Therefore, its dimensions practically did not change. Only the length increased, but here it is rather unnecessary convex bumper. A significant change in the dimensions of the car became the front racks emitted from the hood. It improved noise insulation and made a car more aggressive.
Mazda CX5 2017 also became sharper. The front and rear headlamps narrowed noticeably. The branded radiator lattice has become more and more massive.
In general, lines on the body became less, but each of them emphasizes the acute and sporty nature of the car. Working on body elements, engineers not only changed the appearance, but also eliminated the main problem of CX 5 of the previous generation - poor noise insulation. It was possible to lower the noise level, but about it later.
Summing up the exterior comparison, it is safe to say that both cars look organically and balanced. They are excellent examples of Japanese and German design, but will enjoy buyers of different categories. Tiguan 2017 is a restrained and cold-blooded. It is suitable for those who are looking for perfection and does not need a highlight. And Mazda CX 5, unlike a competitor, is able to give the driver a lot of positive emotions and drive. The Japanese crossover is suitable for those who prefer to tamper the arms of the machine on their own, not allowing them to work with electronics.
Interior and options
Finishing materials in both cars are qualitative for their class. But the interior of VW Tiguan looks solid against the background of a competitor. Obviously, the difference in price is affected, but we will talk about it below.
In the Mazda CX5 salon you feel comfortable, but there are a number of moments that may seem controversial. For example, the display of the multimedia system. Not only is it "sewn" not in the central console, but performs from the top, so it does not have due registration. It seems that the screen was attached to the velcro. However, many car owners will celebrate the practicality of accommodation - the display is almost at the level of the eye, and you do not have to lower your head, distracting from the road, in an attempt to switch the track on the multimedia system.
A pleasant addition to the CX5 2017 was the Multimedia control washer, located on the bottom panel next to the gearshift lever. This is not only a convenient, but also a safe solution. After 30-40 km / h, the sensor on the display ceases to work, because, according to the company's engineers, he distracts drivers from driving. At this point, the washer joins the work.
In more expensive equipment, the crossover is equipped with a display, which is projected onto the windshield. It gives information not only about speed, but also about movement in the strip, blind zones and navigation. The dashboard itself is analog, and the right side of the on-board computer is located on the right. The graphics are not bad, but some numbers are poorly read.
Unlike a competitor, the VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN dashboard is completely digital. It can be configured at its discretion, changing the style and functionality of the instruments. For example, in the center between round dials can be placed a large color navigation card.
The car's system remembers the settings of several drivers, so sitting in the car and downloading your profile, the car returns the former control settings, steering and chairs.
The front panel of the German is designed stiff and better. This applies primarily by design and location of elements. Volkswagen is a company showing the reference workplace ergonomics, which is clearly visible in Tiguan 2017.
Unlike Mazda CX 5, the German offers several ride options: Eco, sports, standard and individually configured.
On the second row of place more in Tiguan. Moreover, it offers customers comfortable folding tables with cupcakers and wide adjustment of the rear sofa along the angle of inclination.
In Mazda CX 5 2017, the slope is available only on paper. On the fact - the amplitude is minimal.
The volume of the trunk also wins the new Tiguan: 615 liters against 505 liters at Mazda CX5.
In both crossovers, the rear door electric drive is installed. But even here the advantage of the Germans. In a more expensive configuration there is an invalid opening system of the trunk - spend your foot under the rear bumper, and the door opens. But that's not all! On the inside of the luggage door there is an automatic closure button that responds to movement. Press it, take the bags and go. As soon as you begin to remove from the car, the door will close.
The big jerk of the Japanese is noise insulation. If Tiguan 2016 compared to Mazda in terms of noise, there was a tremendous advantage, now the situation is aligned. And this is a breakthrough for "zo-zoom".
Controllability
On the level asphalt confidently the new Volkswagen Tiguan is going. It is more accurate and clearer. But by going to small gravel, it becomes clear that the softer suspension in the CX 5 2017. It smoothly and gently overcomes all irregularities, while Tiguan periodically breaks the front suspension. On the scale of the class, this is not noticeable at all, but if you compare a car with a competitor, the Mazda's energy intensity is obvious!
Test drive showed that the snake VW is better. No rolls, the wheels are clearly followed by the wheel, no hint of drift. The system of course stability is never completely disconnected, so the exact input in turn is provided to you. Mazda CX 5 still slightly delivers, and the rolls are present. But it is rather not minus, but tribute to the former dynamics and a bench that was present in the previous generation. The steering wheel in the Japanese is empty, practically unloaded, but it does not prevent the car to have acute control.
Configuration and prices
Prices for new Tiguan 2018 in the basic configuration begins from 1,349 thousand rubles, and Mazda CX5 2018 costs from 1,445 thousand rubles. But let you do not seduce such a cheapness of a German competitor. Volkswagen is known for each additional option, the client will have to be pretcharged pretty, so the maximum version with a diesel engine will cost you at 2,019,000 rubles, and the "top" equipment on gasoline 2.0 (220 hp) - at 2,99,000 rubles. And the maximum version of CX 5 costs 1,849 thousand rubles. However, it is worth remembering that in this configuration, the Japanese has no circular viewing system, a large set of parking sensors, a digital dashboard and many other buns.
Mazda CX 5 2018 is offered with 2 types of motors:
- 2.0 l (150 hp);
- 2.5 l (194 hp).
The choice of buyers of two-liter engines is available to 6 MCPP and 6ACPP, as well as the front and four-wheel drive. For the engine of 2.5 liters, only 4 × 4 and at.
Tiguan has a more diverse line of motors: 2 gasoline motors with a volume of 1.4 liters (125 and 150 hp), 2 2.0 liter gasoline engines (180 and 220 hp), as well as 2 liter diesel With a capacity of 150 hp Depending on the configuration, the crossover is set to 6 MCPP, 6DSG (DQ250) and 7DSG (DQ500).
Output
Our comparative test "Tiguan VS SC5" showed that both cars are good in their own way. Of course, eclipsed leader in the class failed, but Mazda closely approached the competitor. And someone can say that the Japanese is not inferior to VW, especially if you consider the difference in price. But what to choose?
If you like high status, but do not want to pay too much attention, Tiguan is created for you. It is impeccable in almost every respect except, except, prices. The German is suitable for businessmen and those who comfort, reliability and quality are more important than emotions.
But those who need Drive and Spark, clearly choose Mazda. And although the very dynamics in the new generation of confusion, the car is still boring blood in the veins of many car owners. Usually Mazda is suitable for younger drivers, but it is not a rule! Therefore, the answer to the question "What to buy?" It depends on the nature, but not from the machines, because both cars are beautiful!
In the summer, in the summer, we tried all the fresh crossovers, and the most convincing victories over competitors were obsessed with Volkswagen Tiguan and Mazda CX-5. But with each other they met only in absentia, so this battle was not avoided - it is necessary to figure out which crossover is the best today. We wrote about both models more than once, so no lyrics are only facts about how successfully the CX-5 is opposed to Tiguan and vice versa. Go!
What does it cost?
For a lot of relevance, we took the "folk" versions with a lot of motors. Which, moreover, have not yet tried themselves - before the tests were only top engines. Probably, it would be possible to take a monolader, but there were no such cars in press parks. So, CX-5 with a 150-strong 2-liter atmospheric, full-wheel drive and mandatory in such a combination machine costs from 1 721,000 rubles. Tiguan, in which the same power is provided by the forces of turbocharged 1.4, there is also no third pedal and there is a cardan shaft, costs from 1 709,000.
In absentia, cars are close: equal opportunities at an equal price. Maybe even with equipping parity? Not at all: a little more affordable Volkswagen is packed richer: he has a three-zone climate against a two-zone in Mazda, 8 speakers against 6, there are parking sensors, heated steering and rear sofa, rain sensor and auto-facing salon mirror. Half of the above, as well as the light sensor, the drive of the trunk door and pedestrian recognition systems and autotorrow in the city of Mazda gives a package for 78.5 thousand. At the same time, both crossover for this money have 17-inch wheels and LED headlights.

Mazda CX-5
Mazda is longer than Volkswagen, 64 mm from bumper to bumper and 19 mm - on the wheelbaseTesting machines are better equipped - if you rise to the top-optation with these same units, then CX-5 will cost 1,893,000 rubles without options, and Tiguan - 1,869,000. Again the minimum price advantage of Volkswagen, but is the winnings preserved? Not at all: for example, invincible access at the top Volkswagen is a penny (14.5 thousand), but the option. The load is given an electric trunk. But for 15 thousand there is an inaccessible massage in the Mazda. The wheels on Tiguan will be 18 inches against 19 at CX-5, and the projection display is not provided at all.
True, Mazda for the projector will have to pay as much as 190 thousand - get a large package of options, including 9 BOSE speakers, adaptive light and piring in the strip. There will be a hatch there, but Tiguan is "Panorama", and in the package in just 62 thousand. However, for CX-5, you can choose cheaper packages, for 44, 74 or 94 thousand. If you choose in the configuents a set "Full minced", then both crossovers break out for 2 million, and Tiguan due to the diversity of options will be even more expensive than thousands of 100 with a small one. Depending on which set of options you are important, it may be preferable to both the same and other car.

In the CX-5, the driver is less distracted by the multimedia system, because it is controlled by a twist, and not sensory. And if you order a projector, then you will not have to be distracted on the tidy (also overloaded in Tiguan)Where is more convenient and more comfortable?
Tiguan inside is the same Golf with all its advantages and disadvantages. Salon is soft in the right places, perfectly assembled, control to everyone and all flawlessly logical. However, Multimedia is not the most modern (on restyled octavia, for example, newer), and the tidy is not the most visual. For nothing that is not at all prone to palication and is saturated with data. It's great that there are a lot of thoughtful living things in the cabin: this is a spring-loaded retainer in a cup holder, and a bunch of boxes in the ceiling, and competent tables for the second-row passengers. Very similar to Skodovskiy SIMPLY CLEVER solutions.
In Mazda, the materials are more abruptly - the skin is more gentle and more extensively closes the surfaces, more metal. The difference in the trifles, but the subjectively interior is perceived as more expensive. At the same time, the multimedia system and dashboard on the background of Volkswagenian almost archaic, but it is convenient to use them. The interior is thought out somewhat less carefully: the central armrest is not regulated, there are no little things like the above for the Tiguana, the locks are blocked by an uncomfortable flag on the door (or automatically, but for extra charge, except for the top version), and the flightcomputer is completely primitive.

Places above your head in Tiguan more than in front and rear. And the second series of German cars is spacious in terms of foot scene and hospitably in terms of facilities for passengersApproaches are different, the result is the same
Volkswagen has long been faithful to the "Turbo Plus Robot" formula. This means that pressurized low-incursors replaced the atmospheric "normal" volumes, and a robotic DSG box with two clutches was the default solution. This design is simultaneously and rides faster, and fuel requires less than the "classic". Such as Mazda is an atmospheric motor and a hydrotransformer machine. True, all of yourself "skayactive", which should make Tiguan triumph not so deafening.

VOLKSWAGEN clearance - 200 mm, and Mazda - 192/200 mm depending on the size of the wheels. The geometry of the test Tiguana is improved by the factory offroud package. But the roulette shows that the high borders park still calmly on MazdaAnd whether triumph at all? Our measurements of professional equipment have shown that hundreds of crossovers are gaining with a difference over the tenth share of a second! For the same mass and power Tiguan, the travelet to 42 N ∙ M, but it does not make it faster. But more traction with smaller turns make dynamic urban rides more accessible to Volkswagen. And when it comes to a truly rapid pace, it becomes more preferable to Mazda: its motor loves high speed, and an effective sport supports them with enthusiasm.
Occasionally the brain of the transmission is trying even too unnecessary: \u200b\u200bthe driver has long been calmed down, and the tachometer arrow hangs on 4000 for the annoyable hum of the motor. But everything that happened before, is clean delight! Furious "Kickdown" for the beginning of overclocking, unscrew the tachometer to the red zone and the highly efficient reduction of gears one after the other on the brakes is something that the knowledgeable driver work is a pleasure. Tiguan has much more ride settings, but even all this flexibility cannot give such emotional dynamics and cleanliness of the machine driver. Volkswagen copes well with a shroud ride, but Mazda does it on perfectly.

Tiguana brakes are perfect in everything, and CX-5 is upset by the insufficient pedal sensitivity - the effort on it does not quite correspond to a slowdownIt is more convenient to the CX-5 and on the everyday time: the classic automatic will always be smaller and robot robot. The box in Mazda is well customized, but Volkswagen after long idle in the traffic jam starts to twitch. And in general, the overall DSG problem is not doing anywhere: in D poses, and in S simply in no hurry to increase the transfer and strains the noise of the motor - there is not enough intermediate algorithm. Interestingly, Mazda is managed to spend a hundred the same 10 liters as Tiguan with its a priori more energy efficient design. In fact, CX-5 is also not so simple with its SkyActiv-triggers and "cheats" like a running lights operating only in motion.

It is not clear how in Volkswagen counted the volume of the trunk in 615 liters against 442 in Mazda. But the playground for the placement of the boot in the Japanese crossover is no less. But the grove pockets is missing thereFinal comparison criterion - acoustic comfort. There were those times when the words "Mazda" and "noise" were synonymous. The new CX is greatly pulled in this regard, and the explicit dominant now is except the engine, and then if it is very cool. Tiguan balanced: Motor does not yell that they do not do with it, but also wind, tires and road relief are heard better than CX-5. There are crossovers softer than these, eat quieter, is softer and quieter at the same time. But the overall balance of comfort and other qualities and there, and there is not bad, with a slight advantage of the Japanese car.
Is there a winner?
It seems probably probably most likely, yes. The combination of basic consumer qualities and fine tuning is better in Mazda. It is brighter on the go and at the same time more comfortable, emotionally outside and subjectively cozy inside. Tiguan is very close to CX-5 in the main points, and somewhere even replays it. For example, this crossover is best suited for the role of family with its more spacious and thoughtful lounge and a more comfortable trunk.
Tiguan has a number of options that Mazda does not have, as well as the opposite, and the price profitability of this or that option directly depends on what kind of equipment you want to see in your car.
The new Volkswagen Tiguan of the Kaluga assembly, which we all waited on our expanses only next year, was ahead of schedule on the test. We not only became the first to have become a German crossover, but also a comparative test with the participation of Mazda CX-5 and Kia Sportyja localized in Russia.
Nowadays without localization in any way. It not only smoothes the ruble races, but also allows you to adapt the machines to the Russian road and climatic conditions. Here Tiguan produced almost all his conveyor life in Russia. And the new Tiguan, for whom we started this test, it comes out with us with a delay in the only reason - it took time to adjust production in Kaluga. Actually, the commissioning is still in the process and before the start of the sales should be waiting for several months, but we managed to get the Kaluga assembly in Russia in Russia!
Buyers will be offered to choose from nine combinations of engines, gearboxes and drive types. We stopped at all-wheel drive Tiguan with a two-liter 180-strong turbo engine and a DSG robot. And I will face it with the regulars to top sales: the fight take Mazda CX-5 and KIA Sportage.
Rivals are also local spill. Mazda is localized in Vladivostok. In service with a test machine 2.5-liter "Four" SkyActiv with a capacity of 192 hp, 6-speed automatic and four-wheel drive.
Sportage is an unsurpassed leader in part of the local assembly: all its generations were collected in Kaliningrad! In theory, we would have to take a gasoline version for comparison. But the capacity is more suitable for 185-strong diesel, which is slightly cheaper and extremely popular in the Russian market. In general, we take diesel! By itself, with a machine gun and full drive.

The new generation machine was presented in 2015 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. This year, sales began in Europe. In Russia will appear in early 2017. Assembly - in Kaluga.
Tiguan, built on the MQB platform, pleases almost reference handling. Before the evaluation "Excellent" he has not shown because of the digging on asphalt kolas.

Do not fall asleep?
Strictly experienced or rear new Tiguan is good! Faceted body and multi-storey front optics made it more interesting. But in the profile of Tiguan looks like a car - the influence of a golf is felt: the same tilt of the rear racks, a big front svel.
However, the design is a matter of taste. But will the almost lightweight appearance on geometric passability affect? And how! Due to the low bumper, the angle of entry is really small - less than twenty degrees.
"Drawn" devices look so natural that we recognize the trick only on the image of the machine. There are no complaints about reading and information.
The multimediasystem pleases a clear image, a huge variety of functions and colorful animation (in the photo - adjustment of the climate system).
The interior is made according to the geometric covenants of Volkswagen, but the driver is focused - the central console is deployed to it. The steering wheel is allpholxwagen. The DSG robot does not allow a single "horse" to be lazy.
Tiguang has the largest selection of transmission operation modes that are displayed by pictograms on the central display. The front seat can be completely folded, turning it into a table. This function is useful and when transporting longs. For surcharge, you can install the ceiling console with two compartments.
The interior is a geometrically verified space. Like Ergonomic experts, one hundred times reshered the front panel, while the gaps between the buttons, deflectors and chrome plates did not come to mathematical excellence. And for some reason, no moment you doubt that the designers tried to please you. Otherwise, how to explain that each of the participants in our test group quickly and without problems found a comfortable fit, and the mutual location of the controls and all buttons rated for five plus? It is cozy and everything is intuitive. The case when the manual remains dust in the mean drawer as unnecessary.
But in this flawlessness and weakness of the Tiguana. Assembly acceleration and honed driving properties are perceived as something of granted - and it is worth the Volkswagen at least to give the slack, it immediately cuts his eyes. I am not talking about the hard triggering suspension on small irregularities - such a character is traditional for many German cars. Fortunately, on medium and large calibers Tiguan stands stepping. But a small aerodynamic noise is another matter. Not crime, but against the background of excellently isolated wheeled arches and plugged motor compartment, a light breeze in the area of \u200b\u200bthe windshield, waking up at a speed of 100 km / h, is perceived as a tornado.
Tiguana Front Seat Ergocomfort, familiar and other models, conquers the profile and set of adjustments, including the ability to change the length of the pillow. For dessert - massage function.
The rear row is almost not inferior to the disorder of Mazdovsky. The back is adjustable by tilting, and the pillow is in the longitudinal direction. For rear passengers, you can order your climate control and heating of the seats.
The same story with handling. Tiguan flawlessly stands on the arc, conquers the speed and purity of responses. The electric powerful honestly changes the effort on the steering wheel and does not disinform the driver. Perfectly! But light nervousness on asphalt kolas, barely noticeable sensitivity to the lateral wind, which in another case would not pay attention, here seems to be something out of a series of outgoing.
What there is no single comment, so it is to the engine ligament and the box. A wide torque shelf and machine-gun-firing gearbox with two clutches instantly take Tiguan away from competitors, and effective brakes with informative drive no less confidently seen the car. That's just a pedal is highly relative to the accelerator.
Without spark
Over the scenes of the comparative test, another modification of the new Tiguana remained - we decided to get acquainted with a diesel version with a capacity of 150 hp. (See video above). Transmission is similar, with preselective DSG robot and Haldex coupling of the fifth generation in the rear wheel drive, and the difference besides the motor, in the equipment.
The diesel car went to us with the Offroad package: it gives out other bumpers. Thanks to the beveled beak, the angle of entry increased, and under the engine compartment we targeted the "extra" centimeter - despite the fact that the representatives of the Russian Volks-Vagen office promise the same clearance for all machines that have passed adaptation! Looks like a greater clearance is due to a different form of plastic protection.
The vulnerable area of \u200b\u200bthe turbodiesel machine is the exhaust pressure adjustment valve, which allows the requirements of environmental norms without the use of urea. It is located on the exhaust pipe, and if you are going to often get out of off-road, it is better to cover it with an extra shield so as not to damage in a rut.
The unconditional plus of a diesel engine is the ability to order an preheater. You can run it from the salon, and from the keychain: so you do not have to sit in a cold car.
At idle, the diesel disseminates noticeable vibrations on the body, and if you open the door, the salon fills the unpleasant hum. In motion, however, the engine manifests itself much less. According to the manufacturer, until hundreds of diesel version accelerates in 9.3 seconds, while gasoline tiguan spends on the same 7.7 seconds. And this difference is very sensible! A low-rise 150-strong crossover is not called, but the best epithet for its dynamics is "sufficient."
Optical illusion
Mazda CX-5 - Sly! She plays the effect opposite to Tiguanovsky. At first, it is captured by a snack. But the first impression is deceptive. Silhouette Woven from smooth and unpaired lines, but this did not prevent a predatory and harmonious image. And after all you can not say that the car has been shouted for five years!
The interior of five years old is simple and simple that does not prevent him from being ergonomic. Material quality high. Of all the additional transmission capabilities, only turning off the trackschne control.
Most of all, the age of the car is given instruments with not the brightest light and a trip-computer monochrome display (however, it is well readable). Age and via the multimedia system is noticeable. The display is the smallest and does not shine with clarity. But there is no questions to the functionality, as well as the audio system. The control is supplemented with hot key-shas of basic functions. The box has a sports mode, but also in the usual Mazda is no excessive dimension.
Inside all the same illusion. The lounge is not just concise - it is simple. And after the Volks-Vagena, literally, you understand that in many ways in the Mazda saved. No 220-volt sockets nor a massager in the driver's seat - they are absent as a class. But the main virtues are not forgotten.
The seat with a standard adjustment set turns out to be very convenient. It is immediately clear that thoughtful ergonomics was the main priority when creating an interior. If you forget about the options and focus on the main thing - ergonomics, the spaciousness of the salon and the volume of the trunk, Mazda is not enough in which the Tiguan is inferior.
Mazda's driver's seat is very pleasant: not an asian tight padding and reliable support for the back and hips. But the adjustment set is modest than at Volkswagen.
Behind you can sit and threesome, the stock of the foot space and above the head is more than enough. It is bad that there are no ventilation deflectors and other amenities.
And when evaluating the driving properties, the difference is not at all, and regardless of the type of -Other. On broken asphalt CX-5 as hard. On average caliber - parity with Tiguan. And only on Mazda, there is no no-no Yes and "break."
But as it is good in turns! Crystal honest feedback, lightning reactions. CX-5 provokes to build a pace on a winding road, and this is its main trick. If the honed behavior of the Tiguana is perceived as proper, then the juicy handling of CX-5 against the background of his deliberate simplicity immediately comes to the fore, giving an additional degree drive. And on the direct Mazda even more stable "German"! Sometimes you still have to drive, but it's on the side wind to stop. It's funny that the level of aerodynamic noise in the Mazda is not lower, but due to the engine, which is heard much more clearly, the wind on the ears does not go.
And the engine must be heard! After all, after manageability, this is the second trump card, which Mazda is captured from Tiguana's attacks. Minus temperatures and winter tires did not allow us to carry out instrumental measurements, so we arranged paired races. And 192-strong SkyActiv showed himself as it is impossible. In full-time Duel CX-5 won almost a housing, leaving behind Tiguan with his wide torque shelf and a robot of DSG.
Not just enough our spacet. CX-5 is a very cunning player and just will not give himself to beat. No wonder in the Russian model range Mazda, it is he who plays the role of locomotive sales.
What is Russian well?
Localization is only half. It is important that the car passes adaptation to our conditions. So it happened with Tiguan produced in Kaluga, who let a little, but still differ from its European fellow.
Representatives of the concern declare that all Russian tyaguans have ground clearance increased to 200 mm. Apparently, this is true only for cars without the protection of the engine, for we measured only 175 mm under it.
Protection of the motor compartment - basic equipment, whereas in Europe there is no.
In addition, our tipuans are characterized by a battery capacity and an increased power generator.
Additional seals are installed on the doors. There was no and without the "warm" services - more powerful heating of windshield, as well as heating windshield washer nozzles and front seats (all this is - plenty of equipment).
There are pleasant little things that are not related to Russian adaptation. For example, the rear view camera is supplemented with its nozzle, which is very useful on our dirty roads.

Expal
Behind the clarification of the relationship between the two rivals, quietly, Diesel, observes KIA. Why did the Diesel Sportage in the Russian market turned out to be more popular with a powerful gasoline version? Yes, because Koreans have long brought us up with proven solutions. And the gasoline turbo engine combined with a two-clutch robot - the beast of the dickey. Here is the audience and threw out a turbodiel!
Instruments with a matte substrate are familiar with other KIA, which does not prevent them from please the eye with noble illumination and excellent readability.
The top multimediasystem was like a clear display and thoughtful menu.
Kia salon is not just stylish - it looks expensive, and this feeling does not disappear even after a detailed study. And the steering wheel is not at all in the test.
The KIA automatic box is not very damaged in any mode. Off-road can be forced to block the mid-scene coupling. The selector of the automaton is complemented by stealing petals.
Sportage has long settled on our land, becoming a Citizen Kaliningrad already in the fourth knee. You are not waiting for the perfectionism to whom he learned Tiguan over the years. And the Sportage is not the brand leader as CX-5 in Mazda: the cashier makes passenger Rio and Cee'd. Nevertheless, the Sportage in terms of sales confidently bypass its rivals. And he is inexpensive, although at first glance you will not say: the appearance of the bold, recognizable, which we were not waiting before the Korean cars.
KIA front seats - with medium density and not bad profile. The length of the pillow is enough, but lacks the supports in the shoulders.
Rear Rows KIA: Places for the legs are enough, the back is adjustable along the angle of inclination, but the drop-down ceiling presses on the top. For rear passengers - additional deflectors, socket on 12 V and USB connector.
Plugging on the seat. Light landing! And there is something from the sports cockpit - in any case, comfortable (and the coolest trio), the steering wheel, with a high, almost vertical front panel, creates just such a feeling. Light vibrations that diesel is broadcasting on the steering wheel and the automatic box selector, do not spoil the impressions. And the main trump card is the level of equipment, in which the Sportage is almost not inferior to Tiguan.
The sportage is not so frank with the driver as CX-5 and Tiguan. Light artificiality is feeling, inexpensive. Sportage is not bad in turns, the steering wheel is honestly poured in force in turns.
Kia Sportage: The bottom is not bad. You can put the engine and the engine protection and the box, which was done on the test car.
Mazda CX-5: Under the protection of the motor - an impressive lumen. The silencer is hanging in dangerous intimacy from the cardan shaft.
Volkswagen Tiguan: Engine and box are covered with durable plastic protection. The bottom is absolutely flat, there are no frankly vulnerable seats.
Stiffness on a broken asphalt from Kia are not waiting, but the transverse seams and joints are unpleasantly responded by vibrations, mileage-bodies. Yes, and large irregularities Sportage digested hard. We impose the main guilt on the busbars of the Non-Size - 245/45 R19. Such a shipment is required for the GT-Line version, but, by God, this is a bust! And scrapersing the arches of the wheel with a fully twisted steering wheel confirm.
Dirty rollers
Our wards are crossovers who are spent almost all life on asphalt. But some off-road deposits are required to be! That is why the first thing we drove all three cars on our roller platforms, imitating the zero clutch coefficient - count, drive wheels on the ice (VR, 2016, No. 2).
The principle of operation of the transmission in all machines is the same: constant drive on the front wheels and the rear axle connected through the coupling. But only Kia allows forcibly blocking an interstole coupling - so let the platform storms first!
First, the rollers slipped under the front wheels. Sportage did not have time to dry, as the rear axis connected - and it is crawled on asphalt. But "Diagonal" did not submit. And the inter-axis blocking is not an assistant in this matter. Moreover, after fifteen seconds, the transmission went to the service mode, refreshing the driver of the indication garland on the dashboard.
Mazda went on the test. The result is both under the car. Also with overheating coupling.
Tiguan easily overcame rollers under the front wheels, allowing only a small slip. The moment of truth is "Diagonal". In the usual transmission mode, it did not submit, but Haldex coupling resistantly transferred a long slip, without showing signs of overheating. Then we began to try different modes. It was worth going to SNOW ("Snow"), as Tiguan was easily jumped from the platforms. Then dessert - we leave on the ground only one rear wheel. As Tiguan neither tried, this trap was not on the teeth. Nevertheless, a deserved victory. In addition, no matter how long we bounce, raising the engine speed up to 4500, there were no signs of transmission overheating. Excellent!
Having finished with the "laboratory" experiments, went to the ground. For a start, the suspension movement was estimated, finding a magnificent transverse trench. Previously, Tiguan hung away from this obstacle. The rear wheel Kia hung in the air later. But Mazda surprised: the rear wheel although he hung away, but the land was almost concerned.
On fat, all cars led themselves predictably, in time connected the rear axle, not allowing "instillations" of the front wheels. But here Tiguan, brilliantly speaking on the rollers, forced to be cautious because of the smallest clearance and a large front swamp. To ride the "curves" to the primers, you need to take a car with an off-road package - with a "cropted" front bumper, which significantly improves geometric permeability.
Kia Sportage Mazda CX-5 VW Tiguan 2.0 TSI
Sprint KIA lost to both competitors, retaining for several buildings. And it is with a fragile moment 400 N · m! There are two reasons. The box is prone to delays when switching and loves to linger on the transmission, when it is time to go to the next one. And the turboyam, when starting, only aggravates the loss.
But this is a diesel! Sprint tracks are not his element. And in normal modes, it is very nice to control the burden. The light sleepiness of the machine with interest is compensated by the excellent elasticity of the motor, and the noise from the diesel does not press the ears at all. Unlike road noise, of which the "sandblasting" is particularly annoyed: the insulation of the wheel arches could be better.
VW Tiguan 2.0 TSI.The luggage compartment is the average by volume, but the number of pleasant little things is great: comfortable hooks, loops, flashlight ...
Mazda CX-5 is the most practical. The sidewalls are decorated with plastic, and after a while he scratches, losing a commodity look.
Kia Spotrage 2.0 CRDI is the least roomy in Trio. Yes, and additional services in the form of loops or supplements on the sides, it does not shine.
For a full spinner in Tiguan, there was no place, only the dance.
The underground CX-5 stores the dance and road tool.
Only Kia is a full-fledged outlet, and even on the alloy disk.
The consignment! The new Tiguan removes the cashier in our very gambling game adaptation. Volkswagen conquered an excellent chassis and thoughtful ergonomics. Prices are still unknown, and Volks-Vagens promise a delicious price list. Well, wait.
Mazda, for nothing, the elder, gave way quite a bit, and in the "secondary" disciplines. And the handling and dynamics simply delighted, although it cannot shine such an extensive list of additional equipment. That is why CX-5 regularly enters the top 5 sales in the classroom, and Tiguan does not boast of such success for a long time. And hardly new Tiguan will change something in this scenario.
Sportage today lost the battle. But not a battle! We take a gasoline car, the result could be different. Yes, and so the separation from Volkswagen and Mazda is minimal. And if you take prices, then kia and at all on horseback. Or on Konound?
Tiguan very cheerfully knead dirt until large bumps appear: the most modest road clearance and the front of the front bumper are forced to reset the move.
On the autumn Raswick CX-5 feels confident. Taking into account the class of the car, of course. The largest clearance (205 mm) added confidence in a rut.
On the risky primer Sportage, even on 19-inch tires feels good. Torque in time is served to the rear wheels.

Expert assessment of cars
Kia Sportage Mazda CX-5 Volkswagen Tiguan
Driver's workplace
The most comfortable driver seat is in Tiguan: an excellent profile and adjustable pillow length. The seats of competitors are not bad, but still inferior. But the controls are the best kia: cool steering wheel, magnificent devices. Tiguana's controls are also good, but the rainbow picture spoils a large step between the pedals of the brake and gas. Mazda has an impression of ergonomics lubricate the pale devices and the absence of manual gear gear mode. The best visibility is Tiguana: the hood is visible, and the rear window does not overlap head restraints. In Mazda and KIA, the back review complicates a narrow glass of fifth door and overlapping his head restraints.

Overview 8 8 9
In Tiguan, landing and disembarking are comfortable, compartments for small things a lot. Landing in Mazda and Kia is also convenient, but the space in the front is not so thoughtful - the departments for small things are less. Rear places in Mazda and Tiguan are close by the stock of space. But Tiguan offers many options that are not at competitors (massage, three-zone climate control), and the rear seat is installed on the sled and has a backrest adjustable over the corner. In Kia, the rear passengers are closer, and the trunk in the sport is less. Tipanian cargo branches and Mazda are close in volume.

Challenges
Tiguan pleases with excellent feedback feedback and cleanliness of reactions. But on asphalt kolas, he lacks stability. Mazda is not inferior in progress on the turns, and it feels more confident. Their dynamic possibilities are close, but Mazda is a little faster. The KIA chassis is not bad, nevertheless, the disadvantages are noticeable in comparison with competitors. The diesel is very elastic, but the turboyama and microset in the operation of the automaton lead to the lag. According to the efficiency of the brake system, all rivals are close.

Tiguan Very well isolated from noise - notice only a weak wind rustle after 100 km / h. Kia is poorly isolated wheeled arches, and Mazda has a motor compartment. As for the smoothness of the course, there are no obvious leaders. Everyone feels quite well on medium and large irregularities, and in small things are harsh. But if Mazda and Tiguana, this is associated with the work of the suspension, the Sportage touched low-profile tires. In Tiguan - three-zone climate control, heating steering wheel and windshield, in KIA - two-zone climate control and heating steering wheel, and in Mazda, in addition to climate control there are only heated seats.

The most modest clearance, like the angle of entry, - in Tiguana. In the list of options - an off-road package, an increase in the angle of entry for ten degrees. Geome-tricuity Mazda and Kia are good for class. The most extensive dealer network and a favorable guarantee - in KIA, and Mazda has the least dealerships. Tiguana and Mazda thresholds are covered with doors; Sitting in KIA, you can steal trousers about the thresholds. The hood of Tiguana has gas stops. There is only a full spare out in KIA, the rest - the docks.

On our rollers, Tiguan spoke more confidently. Only he coped with the "diagonal", and also did not show signs of transmission overheating. But Kia and Mazda worse: and with the "diagonal" did not cope, and their clutches overheated. Mazda demonstrated the greatest suspension stroke. Kia is postponed earlier, and the very first take off the Volkswagen wheel. Mazda has no additional transmission regimens. At KIA, you can forcefully block the mid-scene coupling. In the arsenal of Tiguana there is an off-road mode - it is possible to slip, it is better the responsiveness of the accelerator, an assistant descent from the mountain is involved.

And, I must say, weapons that they swing in front of each other may differ significantly. Well, the more interesting will compare one of the leaders with the most anticipated novelty - all the way that their methods are very different and very different.
Unity and struggle of opposites
"Tiguan" is an experienced player of our market: it is not sold for sale for the first year and is inferior in popularity, except that the Nissanov couple - "Kashka" and "Dzhuka" - which are cheaper, and less "Volkswagen". As a nebid German's pure blood, "Tiga" at one time came to Russia - so it remained here, settling on the conveyor of the plant in Kaluga. Relatively recently, the crossover passed through the restyling procedure, having received a respectable face face in the spirit of an older "Tuarega" with a chrome "grill" and decorated with asterisks of the front optics LEDs.
But the Mazda looks cool! It is clear: this is the newest crossover in the Russian market; And unlike the "Volkswagen rubing", without exception, the CX-5 falls to us straight from Japan. The crossover was the first to follow the common mask, which other Japanese brand models intend to push in the near future: in particular, the new Mazda-6 will also have a similarly decorated nose with a vertical grille of the radiator, which sticks out shiny needles that permeate the acute headlights. . Iron waves are running on SC-5, raising the glass of the fifth door graceful flanges of the rear optics. Beauty, Mazda!
In general, both cars are good, but each in its own way: from the "German" pulls with the metal, and from the "Japanese" itifies wildlife. But the appearance of these machines only denotes the obvious incorrecting of these two compact crossovers: the differences between them are much more significant than it seems at first glance. "Volkswagen" called for his banners an army of turbogotors such as gasoline and diesel, and Mazda decided to squeeze all juices from one single gasoline engine (Turbodiesel to the Russian market is not yet supplied).
Well, let's see whose strategy will be more winning.
In step from the ideal
Both cars and in the cabin serve themselves completely differently. "Tiguan" turns out to be predictable, but it is this quality that makes admire. Everything in it is expected to be well: and an exemplary selection of finishing materials, and crystal-clean in style and informative equipment, and a gorgeous steering wheel, covered with amazingly pleasant velvety skin. At first it seems that the Germans cleared with the keys on the knives of the steering wheel, however, in the process of use you understand how correctly they are organized. The process of communication with the multimedia system is fulfilled by mutual understanding: it is always clear which buttons to press and where "touch".
The only moment, forced to be stolen, is associated with finding a comfortable fit. I, though low tall, but I still prefer to accommodate closer to the floor; However, "Tiguan", regardless of my desire, I offered me a label: The steering column even keeps the "Baranka" in the lowest position, forcing the chair above, which would like.
Salon "Mazda" looks simpler - even, perhaps, too simple. Yes, and the glossy strip on the front panel, separating the top from the bottom, it seems slightly contrived. True, bright skin, in which armchairs and door panels are wicked, makes the inner world of CX-5 very elegant - naturally, to the detriment of practicality. Materials are also good: where you need, everything is soft and pliable. And the steering wheel is quite good, although I am inferior to German. But the landing is more convenient - if only because "Mazda" will not oppose my aspirations to sit as I want.
And yet logic in a Japanese car is slightly smaller. White highlighting devices is dissoned with orange climate control, whose primitive graphics are unambiguously inferior in clarity with small "fireflies", framing the "Tiguana". In addition, in poor configurations without multimedia "twisters" on the central tunnel and the color display of CX-5 looks more modest.
Keep clean!
In the back row of "Tiguana", constraints do not feel: highly planted seats leave enough space for the legs. Enough stock and ceiling. In addition, unequal "halves" of the rear row can move along the Salaces back and forth, however, it is rather renewed in favor of the trunk, rather than caring for passengers. But the ability to adjust the backs unambiguously should be recorded "Tig" in plus - as well as "aviation" tables with "desktan" holes.
"Mazda" such excesses are deprived of - her sofa is static. But it is slightly spacious on it than in Volkswagen, and the doorway at CX-5 is not so restrained by the arch of the rear wheel. And three passengers will easily fit in German, and in a Japanese car. But the main thing is that on the front armchairs, and you can not penetrate the pants: the configuration of the doors is such that they are completely covered by the thresholds, leaving them nirious clean.
Formula addition
Two large suitcases in the Volkswagen trunk are not included, and fasten, filling themselves almost all the space. Here it is useful for the opportunity to ask passengers to move - however, will they treat such an initiative?
In Mazda, the suitcases live much more frequently: the cargo platform is longer with any sofa sofa, and the loading height of a couple of centimeters below. But the most delight causes the reverse row mechanism: its back consists of three parts, each of which falls in the will of the most comfortable handles on the walls of the hold. By the way, for reference: both cars allow you to transport, for example, skiing and while staying quadruple: the central part of the sofa is leaning at the Tiguana, and at CX-5.
Desire and opportunity
Even with a basic 122-strong turbocker 1,4tsi on "Hand" The German crossover makes a breath of health: a couple of hundred Newton meters make a car run very big. And with more powerful engines "Volkswagen" and becomes irreparable at all: perhaps, in addition to the 190-strong "juku" in this price environment, it will not work back "Tigu". In addition, in the Arsenal "Volkswagen" there is both "Wunderwaff" - 140-strong diesel, which is not only lucky, but also differs more than moderate appetite: you need to try to make it consume to more than eight liters per hundred, even with aggressive urban Ride! By the way, all 2-liter modifications (and diesel including) are equipped with a "automatic", which there is no complaints about the work and can not be: the box is surprisingly cleverly juggling with six gears.
"Mazda" for the "Tiguan" do not get angry. She simply does not want to go fast, but not because of the lack of opportunities, and due to character: the Japanese too diligently brought up abstinence in it. "AUTOMATING" at the very first opportunity tries to submit a motor - and he, I remind you, at CX-5 only one (later a diesel is promised, but so far it does not have to choose). And although in fact Mazda knows how to accelerate pretty Boyko, it really is good, it makes it exclusively in manual mode. Yes, yes, this is a rare case when such a mode is not a pleasant opportunity, but an urgent need.
Thirst Drive
The driving haggings "Volkswagen" is a sample to follow: the exact steering wheel, extremely specific responses to the actions of the driver and complete mutual understanding at the intuitive level. It is felt that every turn of the car is joy! At the heart of Tiguana lies the magnificent chassis of Golf, and the crossover is not worse than the hatchback. You can not even make an amendment to a higher center of gravity - it does not feel completely: the car has absolutely passenger manners. There are no questions to the brakes: the car stops where he orders. In general, here it is, the German School of Drive, in all its magnificence!
But the Mazda is trained to ride no worse! True, in contrast to Volkswagen, she was inspired by a different code of conduct: it should not start, but to pacify. "Japanese" behaves a lot of restraint, but in each of its movement there is a reserve of confidence. CX-5 reliably holds straight, does not prone to the nervic drops on the steering actions and provides an excellent slowdown: it is even better to the brakes than "Tiguana". But the temperature of joy from the management of "Mazda" is definitely lower than the heat of the drinking sense of the driver, which generously giving a German crossover.
On tiptoe
In the database and "Volkswagen", and Mazda have a drive to the front wheels, and the four-wheel drive appears in more expensive versions. Tiguan exists in several variations: the city versions "Trend & Fan" and "Sport & Style" with a low front bumper - or "off-road" modifications "Track & Style" and "Track & Style" with "Passed Lip". At first, it seemed to us that a German car focused on an offrooud looks preferable to Japanese - it is painfully low seems to be a "hem" of the front bumper at CX-5. However, by having both cars to the border, we found out that in practice, geometric differences are unlikely to be found: so that Volkswagen can realize its "bumper" advantage, it must please in such conditions that are contraindicated by the machines of this format. And in other disciplines, the advantage is on the side of Mazda: it has a noticeably higher clearance, larger wheels and a smaller mass. However, some embodiments on nature may well afford the owners of both machines: the perimeter and the "Tiga", and the CX-5 is picked up with practical unprised plastic, ready for contact with the planet.
Flying gait
It is clear that crossovers are simply obliged to be able to work with irregularities: straighten the asphalt curve is the most important task, to solve which such machines are endowed with large wheels with thick rubber and a long-faced suspension. Or not all-friendly? "Volkswagen" demolines the adversity of our directions .: In the cabin it is good, it is good that the wheels of the Ryano work the rails of rails and jumping the Koldybin, but the doubt is that the suspension was loaded with a solid energy intensity. The song of the engine is also quite clear, but it does not annoy it in any way: with noise insulation from Tiguana full order.
But "Mazda" is all somewhat different. The smoothness of the Japanese car is even better than that of the "German" (which, by the way, was wound into rubber with a higher profile); Yes, and sound insulation work was carried out at the highest level. And so far on CX-5 you have been going to have a special hasty, then everything is good: even the rustles are not heard in the garden. But it is worth only to ask the car of activity, gives care of the magical Pendel pedals of the accelerator, as the engine begins to change the vote, cut through the first-class "Shumkov" ruthless chainsaw. And if there were no motor screams, walk the Mazda winner in this category. And so - no.
Stop in time
"Tiguan" passed twice through the horned crash test "EuroNCAP" - in 2007 and in 2009, - and both times experts celebrated the crashing machine with the highest point. There are no reason to doubt the security "Volkswagen": already in the basic configuration, the crossover is equipped with six airbags and ESP, and cars for the Russian market are no exception. Well, very correct approach!
But the CX-5 appeared a little later, and literally last week from Brussels came the benefit of the news that in the EuroNCAP tests "Mazda" safely crashed five stars, gaining a little more points than "Volkswagen": front passengers Protected by 94%, and children - 87% ("Tiguan" - 87% and 79%, respectively). The entire security arsenal (six pillows and stabilization system) for the Japanese crossover is also available in the basic version. In addition, starting with the "Touring" configuration in CX-5, a safe braking system in the city of SCBS appears, which helps to avoid collisions when moving at low speed - for example, in traffic.
Waiting hall
Prices for Tiguan begin with a mark of 899 thousand for the 1,4TSI front-wheel drive car with "mechanics" (122 liters with.), Which is very lowly packed: 6 pillows plus ESP, climate control, MP3-audio system, electric car heated front seats, central locking with Du, on-board computer. All-wheel drive version of 1,4Tsi on the "hand" costs at least 1,014,000 rubles, and the most accessible version with the "automatic" is estimated at 1,40,000 rubles. - In this case, the motor will be more powerful (2.0TSI, 170 liters.). Turbodiesel is more expensive for 37 thousand, and the most powerful 200-strong "tig" costs from 1,293,000 rubles.
Options are not so much, and most of them are folded into packages, the contents of which depends on the version: for example, as applied to the "Trend & Fan" package "Technician" (14 870 rubles) implies alarm, trimming of the helm and lever box plus front armrest ; And for the execution of "Track & Field" the same "technician" is already 29,760 rubles, but there will also be a multifunctional steering wheel, cruise control and a USB slot.
The price on Mazda begins with a mark of 929,000 rubles. Such a car is more powerful than the base "Tiguana", but it will be slightly varied in part of the equipment: instead of climate control, she has ordinary "condo", but there is a USB connector adjustable in height driver's seat and tire pressure sensor. The most accessible CX-5 with ACP is estimated at 1,120,000 rubles: such a machine is noticeably better than "Volkswagen", but has a drive only on the front wheels. And with all-wheel drive transmission and "automatic", the Japanese crossover costs 1,170,000 rubles. "True, he has a coercion from him than" Tiguana ". Other equal prices on both cars are very similar. But "Mazda" still has one space: a regular parking sensor or, say, native navigation can only be obtained in an expensive configuration "Touring", which necessarily pulls unnecessary excesses like a leather cabin and 19-inch wheels.
Different models that come to our roads from the European and Asian continents. A little conservative, in appearance, a strict Volkswagen Tiguan and the daring, assertive Mazda.
Both vehicles belong to fashionable, recently, class of compact crossovers.
A bit of history
Both brands, Volkswagen and Mazda are well known in the world with their bright models. Mazda CX - 5 appeared, in the image of his concept car in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. This car according to the leadership of the Japanese concern should fill the free window in the model line.
A similar desire was both Das Auto manufacturers. Tiguan was born in 2007 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
The name of the Mazda brand is given a car in honor of the God of Light one of the most ancient religions. Tiguan turned out as a result of a merger, according to the plan of German producers, tiger and iguana, whose qualities should be present in the Tiguan model.
Description of models
The last generations of Tiguan and CX-5 differ from the initial options that were standing at the origins. This is especially noticeable by Tiguan. The latest generation model 2016 will appear in front of motorists in three body versions: standard, elongated and coupe. The platform for everyone will be the architecture of MQB, which was the basis of the third Audi, Golf and the Skoda Octavia. Tiguan grew noticeably, matured. From an imperfect Yunca turned into an adult model combining the conservatism of senior relatives, let's say, taguega and new, modern features.
Mazda CX-5 has undergone less transformation, compared with the first generation, has become more strict, solid. Power, dignity - business card model of the new generation. The concept of Mazda CX-5 was embodied in the slogan invented by the manufacturers of the Rising Sun: "Kodo - Soul of Movement."
Exterior
New Tiguan is impressive. He lost the former conservatism of the appearance of German burghers and turned into a young prince, our contemporary. Its dimensions 4486 mm x 1839 mm x 1670 mm, wheelbase 2681 mm. Asian smoke smile created due to narrowed optics perfectly combined with large wheels and arched space. A powerful embossed hood gives the appearance of Tiguan more respectfulness.
Mazda CX-5 attracts a more powerful view that gives the model of royal posture. Fashionable LED optics DRL makes Japanese exterior more modern appearance. The famous surname radiator grille with the logo located is still majestic and reminds of the authority of the brand. Sizes CX-5: 4555 mm x 1840 mm x 1670 mm, the width between the axes of the car is 2700 mm. The height of the road lumen is 215 mm, which is 15 mm more opponent from Germany.
Interior Salon
The situation inside the Tiguana also changed. There were more interesting interior design options, a two-color finishing solution, a convenient multifunctional steering wheel of a modified shape, a push-button handbrake. An interesting multimedia system that gives the driver full information about the state by side and inside the car, small chrome inserts, reviving the interior, compared to the previous generations - all this talks about the great work done by the German concern.
Interior design, dashboard more restrained. The Japanese are strong in their natural quality: rationality and ergonomics. Everyone in the cabin is subordinate to creating a working environment. Before the control knobs, numerous regulators do not need to stretch - everything is at hand. New-type armchairs are installed, very comfortable, perfectly holding the human body.
There is discontent from the Mazda users, that noise insulation does not correspond to the class class. Manufacturers assure that improved quality in this question by 10%. In this aspect, Tiguana will not adhere to the noise level at proper height.
According to the luggage compartment, the advantage has Volkswagen Tiguan. In the usual position - 615 liters, in the transformed position - 1655. Mazda CX-5 is inferior on both indicators. The standard of the luggage compartment is 403 liters, in the unfolded form - 1500 liters.
Under the hood
The best option in the Mazda CX-5 motor line for 2016 is considered a reliable gasoline 2.5 l with a capacity of 192 liters. from. With torque 256 nm. Its limit speed is 194 km / h and acceleration to one turn out for 7.9 seconds.
Tiguan has a greater number of motors offered: four gasoline and diesel engines. Everyone has a turbochargedwood system and comply with Euro-6 standards. Top-two-liter with a power of 220 liters. from.
Let's sum up
At the cost of both models are in one price segment - one million plus two or three hundred thousand rubles. Mazda CX-5 - crossover for the metropolis. Tiguan can quite fit the type of SUV. Clearance, regimes of road conditions, lifting abilities on the slopes are also talking about it. Japanese in character is more impulsive, ambitious, tyaguan is more realistic. What's better? Choose by character.
