best affordable luxury suv 2012

hello! this test-drive tv. today, we are comparing two pickups they are both 5-seater, the japanese, similar by dimensions. and each of themlooks like as if none of their ancestors was a workhorse. now they both look like wearing white tuxedos.yeah. these cars are almost identical technical design. for

exception of some technical nuances which we will talk later but noticeablethe difference lies in the price lists. this onemitsubishi l200 in a mid-level equipment "intense" costs $25.500 and the most expensive version is $28.900 the simplest base version of toyota

hilux costs $23.000 but talking about our test car presented in a top-level version "prestige",fully equipped its price as high as $33.000 but this difference is not taken from the air even in the simplest hilux we have 7 airbagsand stabilization system (esp)and by the way for a pickup with a part-time all-wheel drive transmission

this is not a superfluous thing the most affordablemitsubishi l200 finally got brakes with abs and stabilization system (esp)he had two airbags but unlike the base hilux, base l200 has no air conditioning but in general toyota hilux hasmany "gadgets" which appeared in this pick-up segment for the first time. but none of this "gadget"

influence on velocity andoff-road abilities and even on the bearing capacity but it is always good to have them onboard good example is led headlights (led is for the low beam only) electric folding mirrors and keyless access to the interior and engine start button and under the hood of the toyota hilux we can have one of two diesel engines.

in the base version it is 2.4 liter engine which produces150 horsepower. and the top-version like we have here has capacity of 2.8 liters and power of 177 horsepower this engine corresponds toeuro 5 standards and this good and bad. bad because engine now has a particulate filter. andinstructions say that this diesel engine requires

only very goodquality fuel. and of another pecularity is that there is under the hood of toyota hilux two batteries/. but there is no autonomous heater. the batteries are connected in parallel to ensure the engine start during severe frosts.engine of mitsubishi l200 is also a completely new one. volume of 2.4 liters and power of 154 horsepower like on this car. or 181 hp on the top-version.

this engine also has particulate filter and complies with euro-5. interesting feature of the mitsubishi l200: it has two types of all-wheel drive. base versions have a simplier part-time transmission like the one on hilux while the more expensive versions have the super select transmission. i will tell you more detailes later. but otherwise thesecars are like twins brothers both are based on carrying frame, have rear dependent

multi-leaf spring spring suspension front coil spring independent suspension well, now we will learn howall this works and of course drives. well, pasha, i this how a pickup made in twenty first century looks like. yes, the progress doesn't stand still. and in toyota

perhaps, it is especiallynoticeably you sit inside and you do not understand whether you're in a pickup truck or in some brand-new stylish crossover i feel and see a design here.stylists worked on the interior seriously. no doubt. i personally have two claims to this interior. the first diversity ofmaterials used here.

here is silverplastic, chrome is here, then piano lacquer is around all it. i feel somehow dazzled from all of this, plus a blue backlight. in the daylight it is more or less perceived by the eye but in the evening i think it will just irritate the eyes.

but not the whole interior looks cool. you do not feel like driving or riding a workhorse. although here is a hard plastic solid and probably in the base version is plus because if the machine willoperated in tough conditions this interior won't suffer a lot. you can even wash it from the hose? really? ok, what we have here?

there are interesting pieces: firstly athe tablet it is not removable, but it looks really like a tablet well normal graphic given that we are still in a pickup truck and not in lexus normal menus and graphic. i like the dashboard with color display of onboard computer. it it the biggest dashboard display in segment, more than four inches diagonal.

you can manage every function with the steering wheel. steering wheel column has adjustable angle and height. but for some reason it only deepens in t the front panel and i would like to pull the steering wheel a little more closer to me itself a comfortable chair i like here i sit perfectly leather steering wheel although quite slippery and it feels rough to touch

but this is a leather trim.yes. and this is a pick-up so it should be rough in some features and of course toyota failed to avoid its main generic characteristics such an ancient electronic clock on the front panel who originate

probably from the first toyota truck. and here is one more pleasantdetail in the interior of toyota there is a 220v socket in the hilux armrest so here we have the 2.8l diesel engine well to be honest it is hard to feel and evaluate this power i push a pedal and car accelerates but... i expected more from the dynamics the acceleration is so smooth, i don't get pushed into my seat. after 100 km/h acceleration fades away

goes off it becomes less intense yes automatic 6-speed gearbox here is good it's great and fully i like normal sound insulation yes of course heard that the diesel engine is running under the hood, but again, we have a work truck and we must understand that there will be no comfort land cruiser 200 hilux reallyfeel like

a tremendous crossover rather than a pick-up which can only work and tow a trailer. yes we can say that the prefix "lux" in his name is really for a good reason. there is something about "luxury" suspension, of course has typically pick-up character. you shouldn't expect miracles from the multi-leaf springs. wront wheels easily and softly pass over bumps and obstacles but rear wheels throw up pretty decently. rear axle jumps like a tennis ball. not a crossover behavior at all.

suspensions are mighty, but our hilux is unladen now, so rear suspension jumps jumps and jumps like a ball handling is, probably, the last thing for the pickup but it must also be present and i want to say about steering: it quite distinct, informative and there is no feeling that you first turn the steering wheel

and then front wheels start to steer, followed by suspension reaction i mean, there is no play in steering or suspension like it was on older hilux this pick-up handles clearly, steers easily changes direction as a single cohesive whole not as before, not as a bunch of heavy metal parts how do you like this interior

yes disappointing especially after toyota hi lux but it does not look like an interior of a car made in 21th century. but the steering wheel here, i think, is taken from the latest models of mitsubishi. so, it is convenient. well, it has a leather trim, leather here is more smooth and pleasant to the touch than in toyota

yes he has the touch screen of multimedia system but the display is smaller in size on the whole interior as it would be done probably approximately of the same plastic such harsh lightercolor build qualityabout the same although here's some places gaps too wide

well pickup can do great discounts in general, on the quality of the interior still had a little bitanother purpose. anyway, if use himas a vehicle for daily drives such as universal family-like car i think, in this case toyota, with its more so interesting

stylish interiors, still preferred the steering wheel is adjusted and i see in a pretty in a wide range sitting comfort is about the same as in the toyota no distinctive differences the seat is installed lower, than in hilux so l200 feels like typical japanese subframe truck from 1980s there are low installed set up front seats

and therefore you experience such a half upright sitting position. well, show me how this miracle drives. yes, engine sounds louder and there are more vibrations. vibrations arefelt all over the body, they are much stronger. whether through some adjustements, either through the presence of the manual gearbox acceleration feels more rapid yes, acceleration of livelier here a large torque is focused on bottom revs

and somewhere after 3 thousand revolutions engine kinda chokes, gasps and asks to switch the next gear from stand start l200 raises the front, so vigorous it is the overall suspension characteristic and behavior is the same. rear suspension dominates by creating vibrations on the bumps but in general, l200 is more bumpy than hilux

yes, l200 transmits more small vibration to the body, on the seats right. hilux smoothly passes over asphalt transverse joints and holes, easily irons all the bumps, and its rear suspension can jump moderately. and mitsubishi l200 jumps higher and harder on the same bumps but the difference in general not critical. subjectively l200 seems as a lighter car with harder suspension. super selekt allows you to drive with a constant four-wheel drive on what is called

roads with improved coating that is to say on the asphalt now we go to the rear wheel drive can i safely turn four-wheel drive and you can ride it every day, all year round four-wheel drive and no steam where it is included and where not to include well now, and pick-ups care about security as well as

cars in a toyota hi lux stabilization system is not deactivated but it should be noted that the works gently gently especially for pickup yes systemstabilization works very tough buteffectively does not generally develop any demolition or skid and i believe that in any situation, this setup will then have

the car is virtually impossible to lose rear seats pickups it never has been their strong point well sit vysokovato ie it is necessary to really lifted to to get here although wide openings nothing prevents here i am at your height adjusted

front seat driver i touch knees backrest course the benefit that it is soft, and in general it is not particularly interferes legs with difficulty climbs under the pillow under the seat and if there is such a thicker winter boots it has certainly will not work well, the third passenger, you can probably take

generally meager central tunnel but if we do not take passengers then thrown back armrest with cupholders sitting upright yeah like that is not tilted back but nothing can not do so funny that such sidushka myagenkaya and rest well, literally tonyusenkoy layer foam some as a whole can sit

somewhere to ride a couple of hours you can well how do you? for a sit? well also i rest my knees in the back of the front seats casa da most concerned, not limited by she too soft knees to fail you can kick the driver if he suddenly goes bad

here, too, the armrest yes armrest but some poshin and landing in my higher but above the seat itself is a little bit more comfortable fit not to say that much but it is more convenient here there are such pleasant things kryuchochek hanging bags, etc. back also stands upright

i think even mitsubishi in it even slightly tilted back gently more harmonious packing here cushion above it comfortable fit due to the fact that above the pillow here too meager central tunnel may be a little wider but if you like to sit in the middle i already i rest his head on the ceiling

by the way all the parameters we are putting under my height 186 centimeters i think for the feet and shoes more space no you know i'm down pillow driver's seatand exactly the same place in general, the rear seats but with greater parity i think it is simply more convenient landing so very convenient pillow

landing more convenient but for reserve space here of course completely different situation you can not climb over the tape we compared both the body will not believe and the difference is minimal yes there is a matter ofcentimeters but now we tell about these centimeters firstly at

toyota hi lux 2 centimeters longer distance betweenwheelarches maybe it's whencome in handy something you will take it that it climbed while the mitsubishi l200 wider opening literallythree and a half centimeters and we believe that by this parameter muchimportant because if you're taking any

plywood board sheets if they have the here already climbed well yes those 4 centimeters will play a role pick-up in the 21st century is the last of the mohicans this latest cars that are true suvs but they spring back frame honest-wheel drive and most importantly both cars

rear differential lock it comes as standard now about the armament of our tanks four-wheel drive toyota hi lux less refined i.e front axle is rigidly connected this means that it is not recommended to drive on asphalt with the included four-wheel drive there is a reduction gear

locking rearplus a differential note what powerful protectionengine compartment which covers even pieces of arms plus a steel sheet covered with the fuel tank and we measured the clearance he more than the mitsubishi l200 to 22 centimeters under the protection of the engine compartment and under the crankcase rear axle

at the mitsubishi l200 as i said there are two wheel drive type in simpler versions of this part time like a toyota hi lux and the more expensiveversions starting with intense four-wheel driveit called super select and it allows you to ride andon the rear wheel drive to constantlyenabled full drive on roads with usovershestvovannym

coated ieasphalt in addition there is loweringbroadcast centraldifferential is blockedlocking rear a differential so we looked like arranged the bottom of the engine compartment protection it is easier andfuel tank at least and within the frame but is not protected metal

well, a little bit smaller clearance 20 centimeters below motor protectioncompartment and under the crankcase so what sort of off-roadadventure dispenses with diagonal display and of course we toyota tried this obstacle so we drive with the included rear-wheel drive i just want tocheck how

operating electronics which mimics blockingdifferentials called at the diagonal gas lets take without any wheel-drive i think there is no point connect the front axle because everything is very easy and simple so the diagonal hanging also i try to make it to the rear wheel drive see how electronics works so let's hang out machine he coped well done

electronics works perfectly and the way you know how, you can use diagonal display in an extreme situation when not at hand jack here you can off-road tire punctured exchange so mitsubishi l200 now we check it off-road ability even though i do not doubt them

everything should be ok i stop the bat with the included and locked center differential it is a good support to prevent possible slippage, and to stand in the place where progress is not enough, or suddenly the soil became looser no easy questions and i must say that despite the fact that blocked center

i still help electronics ie machine electronics bites slipping wheels that actually helps motor pulling but if stuck and have to start the work energetically gas add it vigorously to release the clutch not singeing his then mitsubishi l200 fine leaves suspension works perfectly

essentially kicks and punches do not have shaking noticeable but this is only due to the fact that allows you to drive a pickup where crossover where the machine who call themselves suvs but they are not simply passes i'll stop before the most serious bias will include

lowering including electronics subsidiary disconnected get under way every car is already active just slips idle wheels i must say that this bias without low and with the included operating electronics i called in a much more confident

probably a little to explain how it works at the toyota hi lux seemingly simple part time rigidly connected front axleponizhaykoy and it does not turn off completely and best of all that the traction control which makes it difficult to go somewhere a slip heremode is converted into simulationlocks

differentials that is, even on a full drive can be go and hope for helpelectronics so i turn on the front axle can go well, i say personally my opinion that with a machine modern car on the roads seems to me preferable it allows confidently wade

to any high rises in the case of rollback or something else where you can easily just press on the gas and go because for example the same l200 in these sands began to smell great clutch but here simply click on the gas toyota scatters sand but surely creeps forward by the way this one operation so to speak off-road it really helps a lot when driving in difficult terrain here the sand you wheel drive and more do not think that you do

simply click on the gas and where the vehicle will leave where the wheels have something to catch itwill go but if you are already quiteit can be difficult for all down-turnand blocking transmission reardifferential but we must understand thatit works on velocity

to eight kilometersh as described in instructions and a reminder to work fulldrive so juststill it electronic simulationlocks differentials takesthe main work on-road toyota well, since i went to a booze it is necessary to try and underdrive

that is, we try all the same obstacles take a downshift and enabled lock rear differential that's on fire iconabs is disabled, even yoo-hoo! but if the wheels could catch on the machine would go here actually activated whole arsenal off-road capability of toyota recalls tank

and that i still enjoy in toyota this work suspension on the roads because many obstacles to overcome the course and here just the same and there comes a timewhen you absolutely sure thatsuspension not probet well, we have a rare case when the cars in their characteristics

and quality andopportunities almost equal well, except that the exterior mitsubishi l200 it raises questions but actually rivals are from the spaciousness of bodies up space in the cabin but iflook closely to detail that just these little things toyota hi lux

a little better there is a little bit better there better well, you end up with a more a good impression of the car but it is still more expensive a mitsubishi l200 seems a workhorse it is made morekondovo such a ññƒñ€ð¾ð²ð°ñ ðµññ‚ñœ ð±ð¾ð»ðµðµ ð¿ñ€ð¾ññ‚ð¾ð¹ ð²ð°ñ€ð¸ð°ð½ñ‚ ð¿ð¾ð»ð½ð¾ð³ð¾ ð¿ñ€ð¸ð²ð¾ð´ð° ð¸ð¼ð¾ñ‚ð¾ñ€ ðµð²ñ€ð¾ 4 ñ‚ð¾ ññ‚ð¾ ð·ð½ð°ñ‡ð¸ñ‚ ñ‡ñ‚ð¾ ð·ð°ð¿ñ€ð°ð²ð»ññ‚ñœ ðµðµ ð¼ð¾ð¶ð½ð¾
