The most important advantage of all mass-produced crossovers of Chinese brands is excellent urban dynamics for the money. In this respect reports motor.ru, citing test editor Dmitry Laskov. Mostly Chinese crossovers are equipped with 1.5-liter engines.
“The traction characteristics of modern “turbo-one and a half” (and similar low-volume vehicles) are sufficient for dynamic movement in the city, regardless of the type of transmission: both robotic gearboxes and modern CVTs work quite quickly and efficiently. “said Laskov.
At the same time, there is a nuance. According to the automobile expert, delays in operation occur at the time of starting due to the protection of the gearbox against overload during start-up.
Laskov explained that due to the lack of the usual European, Japanese and Korean models with high-efficiency supercharged engines on the Russian market, it is Chinese crossovers that have opened a world of dynamically affordable cars to Russians today. .
