part II
For example, on the third Outback is accelerated azh to 190 km/h, while Audi and Volvo they reach this speed only on the fourth. Fifth transfer in Subaru - "economical", calculated for the ride with the constant velocity. But with the intensive accelerations from the average speeds (for example, with the dynamic outstrippings) for "automaton" it is necessary to be thrown to two, and that to three steps "downward"! All this occurs too razmerenno, and precious, especially in the complex road situation, seconds are lost. Undoubted plus of new "automaton" - the presence of sport and sekvental'nogo regimes. In regime Sport in the window on the panel of instruments burns not letter S, but the number of the transfer included in the given moment luminesces. On reaching of maximum engine revolutions the box is not switched "upward", but it makes possible for driver to retain the pointer of tachometer on the face of forbidden red zone. But even in the sekvental'nom regime delays during the switchings "are downward" too great. As far as controllability is concerned, Subaru us gladdened. Automobile very well "costs" at the high speed, it otklikayetsya smoothly to the turnings of control, it drops in easily and so easily from them it leaves into the turnings. Very balanced behavior! Audi Allroad Most powerful to five horsepower. But "force" here entirely others - "supercharger", mechanical! Motor - less loud, "automaton" - more rapid-firing, and noise-isolation - is better. Machine is accelerated easily, without the rent, creating the sensation of swift flight. But here sekvental'nyy regime proved to be "pseudo-manual": "automaton" nevertheless continues to change gears and "upward", and "downward", making it possible to only enlarge the range of the use of each step and to more actively impede by engine. The ease, with which Allroad is accelerated to 200 km/h, moves confidence, that everything under the control. On the whole, so it there is. Driver not "does lose" automobile even on the broken road. Pneumo-suspension ensures the very high smoothness of motion, although at the joints of asphalt the work of suspension is accompanied by impacts and unpleasant clank. "automaton" Volvo works more quickly than on Subaru, but... Five cylinders - not six. With the acceleration "into the floor" XC70 lags. Yes even there is no kayfa from the rapid ride on Volvo! Driver badly feels automobile. And the higher the speed, the stronger the dissociation. Problems appear already to 120 km/h - XC70 it begins "to float" on the unevennesses, forcing driver to podrulivat'. But on the twisting roads control is converted into the hard work. In turnings Volvo it heels so that becomes the terribly even prepared drivers, and front passenger is sufficient at the special handrail on the central tunnel. Swedish specialist locates to the measured off, unhurried ride. Does not raise mood the drive of the brakes: with the intensive retarding the pedal departs increasingly deeper and it is deeper. In this machine is better to go potishe. So you get tired less, and you manage to take pleasure by the comfortable suspension, which derives Volvo XC70 in the first place on the smoothness of motion. But "drayverskiy" automobile itself in our trio - Audi. He with the surprising clearness and with the minimum banks "writes" the most rapid turnings - as if these are not vsedorozhnik, but is all-wheel-drive of maps! Stabilization system is disposed so that makes possible for driver to independently overcome drift, and already then - if it is necessary - it comes to the aid. But now and then Allroad so rapidly and deeply falls through into the drift, which to work control is necessary doubly more rapid than the usual. Subaru in the stressed turnings let and less rapid, then more intelligible automobile. For the sharp discharge of gas Outback also it departs to the drift, but it is smoother - and therefore to restore control over the situation it is simpler. But system ESP is disposed as on Audi - first gives to driver the possibility to pouprazhnyat'sya in the correction of slips, and already then enters into the game. Volvo XC70 First slips outside turn. But with the increase it is bank machine suddenly it is fixed inside the turning. Complex nature! But passability? In spite of sonorous names - Outback ("uninhabited locality"), Allroad ("all roads") and THE XC (CrossCountry, "broken ground"), the heroes of our test refer very distant to extra-roads builder. Similar "specialists of the increased passability" usually utyuzhat asphalt roads. The main thing - not to strike by face into mud, if the same nevertheless falls. But to already knead this mud - the lot of other machines. In arsenal Audi - being interlocked interaxial differential Torsen, which distributes the torque between the front and rear wheels in the relationships from 25:75 to 75:25. To help to it - the electronic system EDS, which will slow the skidding wheels, making possible for other wheels to realize torque. To Subaru - "almost honest" distribution of the torque: it is divided between the front and rear wheels in relationship 45:55. Plus - electronic imitation of blocking differentials. In the regular state of motions Volvo V70 BY THE XC it remains practically front-wheel-drive automobile - rear wheels are connected by clutch Haldex only in such a case, when front begin to slip. Furthermore, there is the protivobuksovochnoye device TRACS, which also plays the role of the electronic blocking of interwheel differentials. Forced blockings and there are no reducing gears there is not on one of the machines. On the boggy ground road all automobiles appeared themselves from the best side. But, other conditions being equal, obvious advantage was after Audi - thanks to the variable road clearance and to relatively small overhangs. I.e., Allroad is characterized by the best geometric passability. All managed the diagonal hanging out: the electronic systems of the imitation of blockings made it possible to advance, even if the earth concerned only two wheels. But this - on dry solid ground. But if under the wheels sand, then "pseudo-blockings" prove to be too "soft": machines only twitch themselves, but forward they will not go. Volvo XC70 With its "partial" polnoprivodnost'yu we was they wrote down in outsiders. But it turned out that even in the sandy quarry the put on shoes into the "high" tires with the larger tread profile automobile did not lose boytsovskikh qualities. Let us total? Three ago Outback H6 of the previous generation on the sum of expert estimations hopeless lagged behind the competitors. But new Outback already costs at one step with Volvo! But that that Outback lost Audi, then... Not we will forget, which Subaru is one and a half times cheaper! 3x, if even on the rear seat not it was then tightly! So that if you value not so much driver properties, as space and comfort, then selection must fall to Volvo XC70. Well, but if price does not play vital importance, the best acquisition in this class as before remains Audi Allroad. Most spacious, quite drayverskiy and "passable" automobile itself in our trinity. But still - most voracious and most driven away. But still - quite prestige! Such here subardinaqi4. Information AR. They granted automobiles to the test: Audi Allroad - firm Audi center is ruble, the bodies: (095) 775-77-72; Subaru Outback - firm U -Servis+, the bodies: (095) 258-99-99; Volvo XC70 - the Moscow representation of firm Volvo, of bodies: (095) 745-97-80. What how much? Subaru Outback It is proposed by Russian dealers with two benzine opposition engines to the selection: with the "four" with a volume of 2,5 l (165 hp.) and with "six" volume of 3 l (245 hp).
