Citroen C4 Picasso vs. Peugeot 3008. Trendy verdict | 5koleso.ru
Crossovers capture car market activity is closely machines of other classes, and especially the minivans. To find out the cause of this phenomenon, we pushed the twin heads together representatives of warring clans.
World overflowed real krossoveromaniya. And okay Russia, where no normal ride height does not go far. But sales of crossovers grow and not the underdog quality roads Europe, where's the use of these machines is not more than from the "Niva" on track "Nurburgring". And it is not amenable to any logic. Are crossovers really vermeer are so good that in favor of them in the Old World disclaim practical minivan? Or surge of consumer interest to them - no more than a passing fad? We attempted to answer these questions by taking a test updated Peugeot 3008, and as his opponent drove Citroen C4 Picasso new generation.
Both cars from the C-class and one automaker. They are also identical range of engines with which they are offered on the Russian market, and drive the same - on the front axle. Ask who needs a front-crossover? Yes, very much! It is the version with front-wheel drive, due to lower prices in this segment diverge vermeer best. In this case your comfort Russians put up an off-road qualities of the machine, and the savings on the second drive axle money willing to spend on an automatic transmission. With machine guns were our subjects, but if it was a regular Peugeot automatic transmission torque converter, the Citroen was equipped with a robotic gearbox, in fact is the usual "mechanics" where the clutch and gearshift vermeer automated. Engines are different: on the 3008-m 1.6-liter gasoline turbo engine capacity of 150 liters. s., and under the hood C4 Picasso 115-strong turbodiesel of the same volume. By the way, if you want this you can take and diesel Peugeot, Citroen and equip turbo "benzinkoy", therefore indicators of the dynamics vermeer and efficiency of these power units can try to both machines. But before I tell you about driving impressions, look at the salons.
I went to the C4 Picasso and without taking the key out of his pocket a hefty, pull the handle driver's door: there is already a "base" vermeer is a system of access keyless - hands-free . Opening the door, froze, staring awake under the central peak widescreen color screen dashboard. Until recently, such a luxury to be found only in machines "Premium" class, vermeer and since it was easy to count on one hand, and there is quite democratic minivan for which LCD tidy with beautiful graphics is standard equipment! I sit in the driver's seat and re-experiencing culture shock: what seemed to me the display media system, was even a remote control and climate control. Conventional buttons vermeer on the dashboard just four, including engine vermeer start button and the inclusion of emergency gang, all the rest of the equipment is controlled by touching the screen and touch pad around it. And what of the buttons on the seat? Yes this is a massage! vermeer And there is still the front passenger and a retractable footrest, though pretty vermeer close. But in the car on the closeness complain sin. The wheelbase is 17 cm longer than the Peugeot 3008 that feels great on the back row.
To quickly get used to the good. To sit in a Peugeot and start the engine have to make much fuss, get a key, press the button, insert the key into the ignition, turn it around ... Before all these operations were quite familiar, brought to automaticity, but after the system keyless vermeer understand how it uncomfortable. On the driver's seat of the 3008 th the feeling that you are sitting in a sports car, if not, then in the cockpit. From the passenger separates you high, at the level of the elbow, "curb" the central tunnel with lots of buttons, where the most prominent place is a series of 'aircraft' toggle switches, one half of which is responsible for the configuration of the radar cruise control, and the second - for the projection system readings speedometer on the windshield. Projection glass rising due to the visor of the dashboard when you start the engine, further enhances the "aircraft" feeling, and even archaic graphics media system on this background looks quite appropriate. But only as long as peresyadesh back to Citroen: compared with its multimedia interior, Peugeot looks pale. Otherwise it could not be: if the new C4 Picasso just started its life cycle, the 3008-th in the current body survives on a conveyor past few years ...
A look in the trunk? According to their spaciousness, both models are about the same, but thought better Peugeot transformation: moving the "double" bed at different heights, loads can be distributed more evenly. When loading the second bottom is fixed in the reclined vermeer position - a trifle, but nice. Plus the trunk floor has a full reserve. A Citroen spare wheel instead vermeer - dokatka, and indeed the trunk less intricately organized, but it is possible to increase the volume
