Toyota vs. Jeep. What console themselves with lovers of the legendary brand? It is great that the market is the diversity. There are plenty to choose from. To cover the entire crossover rampant, it was decided to take the pair test Toyota RAV4 and Jeep Liberty. The first - the leader of sales in Russia to compete in popularity with him can only Hyundai Tuscan. The second - on one of the last places on the basis of sales and did not really competing, just quietly waiting for a buyer. The first charmed all the women in Russia, while the second deals more with men. Fluffy and OBEDIENT Due to the fact that in a long queue for the Toyota RAV4 sploshnyakom ladies who sit in the test car I was somehow embarrassing. But after literally hundreds of meters away awkwardness dissipated like morning mist. Nor can a woman fall in love with a bad car. "Ravik" - source only and no other positive emotions! Run a harmonious trim Toyota did not stop even the hard plastic, which looks much nicer than the plastic of the Jeep. RAV4 obedient and very predictable on the road. Responds to the movement of steering clear but not sharp and nervous, as it makes Mitsubishi Outlander XL. Also works suspension RAV4: not allowing rolls like a Nissan X-Trail, but not perebarschivaya with rigidity, as in the Outlander. In every movement betrays RAV4 ease - if you moved a speed bump, flies there on the hill, go out to the arc of rotation enjoy a fluffy car can be infinite, and not just on the pavement, and even go off the rugged terrain, where it is often easy to serve good help. What I am again convinced, having won a snowy ascent to a strange track, interspersed with mounds of frozen Krotov. Even without striking a head, Toyota shot up the top, and elegantly proshmygnuv between pine trees, staring at an opponent. Jeep Liberty accepted the challenge and moved to the original. JEEP Bugrov no fear Perez behind the wheel of the jeep, I started to worry about the front bumper. Geometric cross the Toyota is much better. Yes, and rear overhang in Jeep also strongly limited by the bank muffler. Only carefully in such ascents climb useless, nothing happens. Come to the crackdown by supporting high speed. CVT growled, then howled for a couple with the engine, and the American crossover plunged in the wake of the Japanese. Slapped twice front overhang with difficulty squeezed between the trees, he also got up on top. Short "race", and we can say much about the opponents. "American" hard and nods. "Jap" is easy and does not hurt. With all this in the jeep feels like to off-road vehicle occupied by the usual routine work. And the RAV4 looks like a passenger car, reshivshuyusya suddenly an unexpected feat. But no matter how beautiful "Japanese", but outside the test thought to frolic on him in his career I would never have arisen. And here on this something against the Jeep just easy converts all its disadvantages into advantages. Well, almost everything. LEGEND Sinks in plasticine When you press the gas pedal in a Toyota, nothing but the acceleration does not occur. And the brake pedal is also quite clearly and simply react. Rudder amenable to a friendly force, turning the machine at the desired angle. Suspension work out as expected. Now quickly transplanted into the Jeep, and drive does not work. It seems that under the accelerator meter layer of clay, and in power, suspension and variable - the same substance. In any case, such feelings, in contrast to its rival. Remains the only console themselves with introduction to the legendary brand. However, we are not finished yet. Check ahead of ASR systems crossovers. Toyota RAV4 wheels and hung out ... more laughing already Jeep Liberty. Course of "Japanese" can, and goes, but I'm not ready to storm the soil drops to almost cars. But the Jeep was going to posted the wheel, as befits the jeep. Its electronic aids actually carry out their duties on the roads, and the RAV4 electronics designed just for the asphalt. FAST THINK FAST OR GO? The latest challenge to the traditional pair of crossovers were starts. We rushed from their seats. While Jeep overtaking Toyota, I was tormented by thought: is it worth to the manufacturer cost variator Liberty his stupidity? Like the CVT must think fast? It is. Savvy quickly, immediately drives the tachometer needle to the red zone. But compared with his rival - is not coming! RAV4 with its automatic transmission and engine similar to the Jeep of flies far ahead and waved goodbye to handle. Despite the identical construction of two crossovers, Toyota is more complex in every way - and on the dynamics and ergonomics. Driver Jeep, took part in our test, with tortured smile concluded: change seats with a Jeep Liberty on the Toyota RAV4 you can. But with Toyota's Jeep, perhaps, only if you really need good traction control. Or when the money so badly that extra 140-150 thousand, make up the difference in the price of the "American" and "Japanese", not found.
