SUV Comparison Price

Hard to imagine a world without the Internet, a beach without sand or an office without computers. As with the current trend in car sales, also hard to imagine a highway, street or city without a majority of SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle), these devices are neither compact or SUV or the opposite. Cars for everything. His versatility supports them, ride comfort and sleek expressways to get into dirt roads. That clearance to the ground that grows and makes them correct in every field, are credited today as a bestseller. And this game, both generalists and the premium brands, it is not want to lose. In this comparative enter the fray: Nissan Qashqai, Ford Kuga, Toyota RAV4, Volkswagen Tiguan, BMW X1. With diesel engines between 1.8 and 2.2 liters, an output between 140 and 150 hp to drive a single axis, none of these units exceeded the five million pesetas (29,900 euros X1), being the Rav4 2.2 D-4D setting the lowest price: 25,400 euros.

At first glance, the Kuga is what makes us completely. Her slender body, shoulders high, a high waist that leaves little space for windows and a line of wedge-shaped hood with slanted headlights is brighter than that developed in this category in recent times. Much more graceful than the coveted Qashqai, the most compact of all, both in terms of design and behavior. Its lower height and weighed suspension make it a tremendous drive fast on asphalt, but more clumsy in driving ‘off-road. ” The Toyota Rav4, the last renewal, comes close in structure to its big brother, the Land Cruiser, earning in the presence and strength, thanks to the surround effect of the new bumper. Nothing bad can be said of the Tiguan, which was the last which offered simple traction (where the front end) as an alternative to permanent four-wheel drive, with a sharp and nicely settled fairly seated behind that put you this comparison as the most effective but less emotional. The X1 is expensive, yes, but it is a SUV of tremendous quality, much better from the ‘square’ X3 and highlights the dynamism of its lines, with a 100% BMW front and a body full of harmonic ribs in towards an unquestionable dominion.

Equating the best equipment, the Nissan Qashqai is offering a lower price for a fairly complete equipment. However, the Japanese SUV sins to include a few extras to add, ended up being necessary to obtain greater benefits. It is the Tiguan, however, who arrived with a perfectly finished interior, with materials, both by touch and sight, are of higher quality, higher even than the BMW, we are unpleasantly surprised by anything any details incorrectly set typical of a premium brand: the huge gap between the headliner and the windshield frame or the bottom of the steering wheel is covered by a spongy mass. Ford Kuga highlight a great clean lines around the front of the dashboard, center console with a modern bent, and finished in silver plastic that achieves an exquisite ergonomics in the front seats.

None of the competitors over four feet in length, being the longest X1, with 4454 mm long, while the Qashqai is the cut, with 4330 mm, its trunk being penalized, 400 liter capacity. Clearly the German SUV which conveys a sporty and aggressive appearance, as well as certifying their low height, 1.545 mm. If you are looking for a grateful interior space, the Toyota Rav4 brings unprecedented levels slightly higher than the rest, with great width in the rear seats and a good boot (470 liters, only surpassed by the BMW, with 480 liters .) The VW, which is four inches less wide than the Rav4, provides excellent accessibility to the compartment (very important in cars with a considerable height to the ground), something that has to sacrifice the Kuga because their seats are the ones higher. The Ford, with the greatest width (1,842 mm) is the only one of the five independently to open the rear window. The Qashqai, whose back seats have changed their form and are presented with a higher quality appearance, getting much better body, we highlight the internal capacity 1513 liters if Fold the seats back.

With traction and stability control as standard, all units of this comparative long pass in dynamic behavior, although with some variation depending on the model. The Ford Kuga (140 hp), managerial and rear lavish agile, is what provides a higher dose of sportsmanship in their movements. However, if we speak of efficiency and expressiveness, the BMW X1 (143 hp) takes the cake, with a uniform and linear response which translates into a colossal force on expressways (200 km / h top speed). Tiguan (140 hp) and RAV4 (150 hp) agree on certain skills on asphalt, with a driving safer and easier than emotional and aggressive, as is proved by its 10.2 seconds to go off from standstill to 100 km / h. Like the X1, the Nissan Qashqai is closer to a compact to an SUV, with a suspension of longer runs and a stronger support when cornering weave. This time all of us here are equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, the Tiguan to be the most accurate and precise. In driving off-road ‘the Qashqai is the most awkward, since its ground clearance only enables him to roll on tracks in good condition. More or less the same applies to the X1, but its controls give better identify ways to overcome time. On the other end of the scale, the Tiguan and the Rav4 (the only one with spare wheel of truth), fast, effective and accurate in complex terrain. With a Ford Kuga is not the best traction in such rough terrain, we can conclude that it is the VW and Toyota SUVs the most testing.
