Kia Sportage, Mazda CX-5 and Nissan Qashqai: SUV for everything

Do you have family? Dogs? Do you travel frequently? Surely you have thought that an SUV is the ideal car. You are not going wrong because many people think the same. true that the use off road that is given to this type of vehicle is testimonial, which is up for debate, but they like it for image and for that raised position that allows you to see everything.

The protagonists that we bring today to CarandDriver.es They are three of the SUVs that are currently taking over because two of them are new (Nissan Qashqai and Kia Sportage) and one has interestingly renewed its line (Mazda CX-5). We have all the ingredients to face them, so get messy!

brief introduction

The last to arrive is the renewed Mazda CX-5. Among the improvements introduced, the new lighting signature, reminiscent of BMW (curious detail to position the brand in a higher segment), and the multimedia system stand out. Here you can expand the information of all the improvements present in the car.

In the case of Kia Sportage y Nissan Qashqaiare new generations that stand out for improvements in perceived quality and energy efficiency. If you click on the names of each one, you will have access to the corresponding articles in which we tell you everything about them so that you have as much information as possible.

The truth is that, together, it is the best way to appreciate the leap that these vehicles have taken. They have grown in size and technology, and as expected, in price, which can make you back down, since they move in ranges of 40,000 euros. But it is true that we are dealing with cars that flirt, in certain aspects, with the premiumsuch as the perceived quality of finishes. In this sense, any of them complies, although we perceive that extra point in the finishes of the Mazda and the Kia. But it is a matter of nuances, since the Nissan also has soft plastics and its level of presentation is good.

Space: no problem (we think)

Obviously, the similarities in habitability are more than evident, especially between the Mazda and the Kia, which are the cars with the most even dimensions. Ahead, we find three sensational command posts. The one that most transmits the feeling of TT is the Nissan and it does so mainly because of how high the seat is, although it does not at any time resemble the new Honda HR-Vthe SUV with the cockpit higher. Kia and Mazda are more alike in this regard.

The CX-5 seems to us to be the SUV that is closest to a traditional tourism due to the feel of its steering and the sporty cut seats, with great lateral grip. For this reason, the Mazda is the most recommended for those who prefer dynamism, although we will see later that it has a big but.

Behind, yes, there is a slight loss of legroom in the Qashqai, something logical if we take into account that it is nine and 15 centimeters shorter than the Kia and Mazda respectively. Although, despite the difference, there is no world between the largest and the smallest, a point in favor of the Nissan, whose designers have been able to perfectly camouflage this lack with not so bulky seats and with a more than enough bench.

At their controls: faithful to their brands

On a dynamic level, each vehicle represents the best of each house. The Kia Sportage has turned out to be the medium SUV that best defends itself in general terms. The Sportage is a very successful car that is neither the fastest nor the most pleasant on long trips. This does not mean that a section of curves is not done with ease and that passengers arrive fatigued after a five-hour trip. No. The Nissan is more comfortable and the Mazda is sportier. Special mention for its dual system of controls for the air conditioning and radio, based on a touch module that changes the view, one of the novelties with which the EV6 was presented and that little by little is spreading to the rest of Kia.

The Nissan, indeed, is the most comfortable of the trio. The new platform on which it sits and a tremendously silent and very progressive engine (and associated with the X-tronic variator change), make it the perfect partner for the boring and complicated day to day: going to and from work, collecting children at school, shopping… Among its strengths are the distribution of controls, which is very logical and has physical controls for the air conditioning, as well as details such as large numbers on the control panel, a clear a nod to its public, which has grown older (remember that this Qashqai is of the third generation and the first saw the light of day in 2007).

The CX-5, as we said before, is a very good car for kilometers. It is the one that gives off more sportiness behind the wheel. It feels dynamic and faces curves with great ease with a suspension, in this sense, one of the best in the segment. The main drawback comes from its engine. It is true that we have a platonic love with this engine due to its atmospheric condition (it sounds so, so good… and the gearbox is a real delight by touch, reminding us of the one in the MX-5). But in terms of performance, he lags behind his rivals. We even perceive a certain lack of benefits when we are loaded and have to face hills on the highway, which forces us to go down from sixth to fifth. This also translates into consumption somewhat higher than expected, with averages from 6.5 liters to 7.0 per 100, values ​​obtained after calm and mixed-type driving.

Its two rivals achieve records between 6.0 and 6.5 under equal conditions, although in all of them it is easy for them to mark averages between seven and eight liters in the case of frequent use in the city or on highways.

Price and equipment of SUVs

For our tests, the brands have provided us with cars with the highest equipment available today. However, the three manufacturers offer these cars with these same mechanics with more basic levels, and of the order of 3,000 euros more affordable, so they become more interesting when they drop below the barrier of 40,000 euros (from 35,000 euros in the case of the CX-5).

• Kia Sportage GT-Line 1.6 T-GDI MHEV 150 CV automatic, 41,040 euros
• Mazda CX-5 Homura 2.0 SkyActiv-G 165 CV manual, 37.673 euros
• Nissan Qashqai Tekna+ DIG-T 158 CV Mild Hybrid X-Tronic, 41,000 euros

The Kia GT Line finish includes a panoramic sunroof, Harman Kardon audio, 19-inch wheels, electric gate opening, blind spot warning, ventilated and heated front seats, led headlights, 360-degree cameras, 12-inch dashboard, 3-inch, 12.3-inch multimedia, push-button start, signal recognition,…

Homura, for its part, is distinguished by its striking appearance, as in the case of the Kia, with 19-inch wheels and black rear-view mirrors, interior lighting, sports exhaust pipes and red stitching as prominent elements in the aesthetic section, and digital radio, wireless charger, multimedia with seven inches and AppleCarplay and Android Auto connectivity, reversing camera, blind spot warning, fatigue detector, emergency braking, kit puncture repair, hill start and dual-zone climate control as star equipment.

In the case of the Tekna+ of the Nissan, it comes standard with 20-inch Shogun wheels, seats with Zeitaku and vegan synthetic leather, led fog lights, frame and multimedia with 12.3-inch screens respectively, lane keeping, Bose with 10 speakers , dual-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control, Head up Display, roof bars, darkened rear windows, heated steering wheel and front seats, panoramic glass roof…

Nissan Qashqai, Kia Sportage, Mazda CX-5, Skoda Yeti или Toyota RAV4?

Юрий Ветров

Экспертная группа: Александр Диваков | Андрей Мохов | Иван Шадричев | Юрий Кузнецов | Ярослав Цыпленков

«Вчера по пять были очень большие. А сегодня по три, но маленькие». Теперь представьте переживания героя знаменитой миниатюры Михаила Жванецкого про раков, если бы «большие» и «маленькие» стоили одинаково. Наш случай! Новый Nissan Qashqai и обновленный Kia Sportage компактнее, чем MazdaCX-5 и Toyota RAV4 — разница в длине составляет от 10 до 19 см. А «маленькая» Skoda Yeti и вовсе короче самых больших на четыре дециметра. Но начальные цены на полноприводные версии всех пяти кроссоверов с бензиновыми двигателями мощностью около 150 л.с. практически одинаковы. Разве что те, что поменьше, будут оснащены побогаче. Однако ключевой вопрос тот же, что и в случае с раками. Какие лучше: те, что сегодня, или те, что вчера?

Чем больше автомобиль, тем просторнее? Да, но. С одной стороны, Toyota в этом квинтете вне конкуренции: сзади сидишь как в бизнес-классе. Можно и подремать, по-самолетному откинув спинку дивана назад, можно закинуть ногу на ногу. Остальная четверка теснее. Но благодаря вертикальной посадке самая компактная Skoda по прос­тору для пассажиров ничуть не хуже, чем Mazda, Nissan и Kia, — у человека ростом 176 см за таким же водителем перед коленями запас более десяти сантиметров!

Причем если в СХ-5 и Yeti сидеть удобно, то Qashqai и Sportage как сговорились — предлагают низкую посадку кузнечиком, с задранными коленями.

А багажники? Мы измерили их объемы с помощью «тарированных» шариков, и. Вот здесь уже связь с длиной кузова прямая: Skoda вмещает лишь 343«шариковых» литра и может сравниться с Ниссаном (404 л) и Kia (413 л), только если сдвинуть вперед или вовсе демонтировать три задних раздельных кресла. К слову, лишь у Yeti есть такая возможность, равно как и опционное складное переднее сиденье.

«Жир!» — высшая похвала Кашкаю от агрессивно-прогрессивной молодежи. Причудливая композиция из податливого пластика, глянцевого декора и «фурнитуры» новой Теаны смотрится богато

Но даже ущемив до предела свободу пассажиров и получив под шторкой заветные 447 литров, в Шкоду все равно не загрузишь столько скарба, сколько п­озволяют Mazda (540 л) или Toyota (537л). Причем у RAV4 есть опционный электропривод пятой двери, а погрузочная высота существенно меньше. С весны этого года российские «рафики» комплектуются докаткой: пол багажника опустился, нет больше горба полноразмерной запаски.

Что еще общего у Тойоты с ее рубленым интерьером, обилием жесткого пластика и монохромным дисплейчиком климат-контроля — с красоткой Маздой, которая нежно обволакивает податливой отделкой и соблазняет глянцевым декором? Отменные кресла, шикарные рули и в целом прекрасная эргономика! Даже офисно-правильная Skoda не дотягивает до «японцев» — любителям низкой посадки приливы чешской спортивной баранки перекрывают часть приборных шкал.
