The most reliable car in the winter

Winter, finally, lost his rights. New car models passed the tests are not at the sites and the harsh realities of life. How would the producers do not touted their cars, the element of put everything in its place. The newest vehicles had to demonstrate grip on slippery surfaces, driver's warm in freezing temperatures and prove the effectiveness of the brakes. Let's see, what is the most reliable car in the winter. Fuel-efficient cars. Opel Astra. Diesel version. Compact Opel completely under-personally kept the snow. Thanks to the wide-rokim (215 mm) tires, it inhibits the better of the two other auto-mobiles in this group. Heating it is also quite tolerable, despite the engine CDTI, which focuses on the attainment of the maximum efficiency. Equipment includes heated outside mirrors and an extra charge, an additional long list of useful options. However, a weak car seat heater and a mediocre "oven". Toyota Prius. I wonder how sverhekonomichny car with a hybrid engine is good in matters of interior heat, and traction on slippery surfaces? Driving habits of this particular eco-Michna car in the snow is very mediocre. His ESP is very acutely inhibits cravings for bu-ksuyuschih wheels. In addition, very annoying his constant pi kanem function of protection against skidding. Yes, and heating could be better. Just four minutes the temperature in the head passes over the zero mark, and at the same time, the Golf and Astra have driver air-blowing Hom plus temperature. In the Prius heated seats offered only to, together with leather upholstery Coy seats in the top-end configuration "Prestige" - a variant with a fabric interior in reheating will not. They are very pleased with low fuel consumption, even in cold weather. Volkswagen Golf. This car shows how really need to warm the passengers. Even in combination with economical BlueMotion TDI engine under the hood of Golf generates more than enough heat for the cabin. For 14 minutes he warms interior in much the same as its competitors, at room temperature. A strong heated seats felt even through the dense winter coat with lining. And while Golf is also on a slippery road behavior does indeed safe. With a more narrow tires it can easily climb up the hill, and the reasonable control of the ESP just keeps VW in a rut. At a higher speed electronics helps following Dowa specified turning radius. To do this, ESP sends a carefully en-dosing pulses stagnation of the front wheels, and Golf fits easily into a turn. In contrast to the Astra and the Prius, which helplessly go into a skid when cornering on the icy road. Economical car Opel Astra Toyota Prius Volkswagen Golf Speed ??on snow 0-40 mph, sec. 6.07 6.34 5.59 Braking distance on snow with a velocity of 50 km / h, m 25.8 28.6 28.0 Temperature in the legs, and after 15 minutes of heating 22 21 20 Temperature in the head, in 15 minutes Heating 19 20 19 Temperature heated seats, after 15 minutes of heating 20 - 45 Conclusion. Although economical diesel and produces less heat, but the Golf was enough to leave behind competitors Prius and Astra. In addition, VW Golf flourish in the winter road. It is almost as confident driving on snow and ice as all-wheel drive vehicle. Prius somewhat awkwardly and gingerly picking its way through the snow. But Astra makes passengers in the back seat for a long time to freeze. But she had the shortest braking distances. Family and business cars. Volkswagen Multivan T5. Take a bus - it means freeze. In any case, it refers to the first kinetic lometrov way to VW. At subzero temperatures, it fails to warm its interior volume to a comfortable temperature. In particular, the space for the legs, six Mi-chick still reigns frosty atmosphere of zero degrees. Mercedes E-class at this point the driver's feet warm to a comfortable temperature of +19 ° C. And the snow T5 have a harder time, and in the truest sense of the word. Nearly 2400 kilograms lengthen stopping distances and break through in the loose snow, deep ruts in the turns. Exact change of direction he can carry only of minimal speed. In this and the T5 is an outsider in the dis-pline "clutch" - even the rear-drive Mercedes starts to move and accelerates to outpace. VW Multivan from the plant be completed, only on-ruzhnym thermometer and heated outdoor-mi rear-view mirrors. Skoda Superb. This car starts to move from a place barely faster than VW Multivan, but it's more pick-up and remains manageable in the corners. At the same time, if the ESP a little less controlled self-Bill, Superb climbing to snow-covered rise more gradually. In addition, the cabin "Hlava" much more quickly becomes warm. And Skoda has a rich "winter" bundling, including washers and heated exterior mirrors. Mercedes E-Class. The main drawback of the Mercedes on a snowy road - it's his background in-water. In contrast, Skoda it is just not enough stress on the real-duschih wheels. However, when overclocking E-Class due to level through precisely controlled-ke traction, so that up to 40 km / h it is clocked faster than the Skoda and VW. However, suffered handling and stability in the motion of. Since stalled the rear wheels easily rip wagon into a skid. As a result, ESP reduces often arrive at the "curb" the restless back of the car. Therefore, it is quite safe - only the rides slower. But the E-Class can boast-Xia outstanding braking performance. His stopping distance on compacted snow with a speed of 50 mph almost the whole length of the car is shorter than the VW. Family car Volkswagen Multivan Skoda Superb Mercedes E-class acceleration on snow 0-40 mph, sec. 7.0 6.8 6.6 Braking distance on snow with a velocity of 50 km / h, m 29.5 27.5 25.7 Temperature in the legs, and after 15 minutes heating temperature of 16 September 1927 in the head, in 15 minutes Heating 16 16 30 Temperature of heated seats, after 15 minutes of heating 41 31 27 Conclusion. It seems that the trio of Mercedes in the most disadvantaged - rear-wheel drive, front engine. But he's just better than its competitors coped with the winter road. Thanks to the fine tuning of electronic assistants, it is safe and sure keeps the snow. Its heating and equipment are ideal for sub-zero temperatures. But he is expensive. Multivanu not enough heating power, and Skoda not tenacious and playful on the slippery snow. Wheel drive vehicles. BMW X1 xDrive. Light lifting, izvi-sheet road and soft snow - that's where must be freedom for all-wheel drive cars. But our candidates are not the time or place for children's amusements, and space for the hard work. Just so you can discover their weaknesses. For example, like a BMW. He is temperamental and sport climbing downhill using a special control algorithm and the other heavy-freezes at the turn of internal wheels. But his tires specifically designed for this car is better suited for su-Hih conditions. They do not provide adequate slip and BMW too far vyskal-shows from the track at a sharp Coy changes of direction. And when braking SRI "Bavarian" conceded even rookie auto Skoda Yeti. Skoda Yeti 4x4. Yeti does not like experiments. Due to the uniform distribution of cardinality T. and good lateral-th slip motion Yeti on virgin snow does not looks as spectacular. Movement of the Czech crossover melting nye and continuous. In the weak scrap it remains predictable and manage-trolled. In addition, totally-not properly budge on the ice. Audi A4 Allroad. Audi's handling left behind BMW. Also, this car over and deftly handles the change of direction. Controllability is excellent, even his ESP only occasionally had roots rektirovat trajectory. However, the Allroad was a triumph for "start up and acceleration. In general, permanent four-wheel drive A4 always turns out to be ahead of the competition. In addition, the A4 is not just boldly climbs a hill and wade through the snow - it is thus also a pleasure. In addition, he never make a blunder, always confidently keeps track of and quickly warms the passengers. Four-wheel drive car BMW X1 xDrive Skoda Yeti 4x4 Audi A4 Allroad Acceleration on snow 0-40 mph, sec. 3.28 3.27 3.05 Braking distance on snow with a velocity of 50 km / h, m 29.0 27.4 29.0 Temperature in the legs, and after 15 minutes of heating 24 20 21 Temperature in the head, in 15 minutes Heating 26 15 24 Temperature of heated seats, after 15 minutes of heating 35 24 26 Conclusion. And in the Audi, and BMW Tee A typical gasoline engine and completely demolished, Noe heating. In both model-delyah after five minutes the temperature is plus. But in the Yeti at the time was still very chilly - with 0 ° C. TSI engine as a whole does not produce more heat than diesel. And then in addition a large salon, which is slowly warming up. Leads and heated seats - especially in comparison with the "brothers". But the warm-schim impact has the price list: only one VZG-Ladi prices can rise and drink all the misunderstandings. After Yeti costs about € 10.000 less than the A4 and at € 20.000 less X1. To summarize. Now we know that the Volkswagen Golf confirms the reputation of quality people's car. He won the "winter" compared even with more powerful and luxurious suits, ramie driving on slippery road, such as the BMW X1 and Audi A4. But the victory is quite natural, for, as taken into account not only the tenacious four-wheel drive or multiple costly option. Golf vividly climbing on snow, confidently holds the track in slippery conditions, rapidly heats the cabin and at the same time affordable. It suffices to prove the most reliable car in the winter.
