Can't decide what to buy: Renault Captur or Hyundai Greta? Renault Captur vs. Hyundai Creta: Creta vs. Kaptur Comparison

They were expected, grinding every piece of news bit by bit, creating club forums and sites. And then besieged dealerships and recorded in the queue. They are Hyundai Creta and Renault Kaptur, which debuted almost simultaneously. Should you choose Hyundai or Renault? We will help you figure it out!

For beautiful eyes

Or, perhaps, no one chooses between them? The first one who shocked me was a security guard at the exit of a residential complex. “Oh, can I hold you up for a couple of minutes? What kind of Renault is this? Cute!" From a stern, large man in a uniform, you obviously do not expect that he will like the forehead Kaptur with fancy sides, and even in an orange-black color.

Renault Kaptur

The Kaptur is also good at the back, but in profile it seems a little stretched - apparently, it is due to the fact that the body from the more compact European Captur had to be adapted to the Duster platform. However, it is indeed 63 mm longer than the Hyundai Creta. The Korean woman from St. Petersburg does not shine with forms and is emphatically modest, but she attracts no less attention - we also got her orange color. "Well, and how is the car?" - asked a neighbor at the entrance, who came out of the old Toyota corolla, and then about 10 minutes walking around "Crete".

Although, why be surprised if, in the maximum trim levels, both Kaptur and Creta sport LED taillights and 17-inch wheels? But we could not unequivocally give the palm to one of these crossovers, and a small survey only convinced us of the opinion: older people like Hyundai, and young people vote for Renault.

Renovation in a high-rise building

Inside is exactly the same picture! Renault attracts with a variety of bright solutions - orange inserts on the seats and edging of the center console, dashboard with a digital speedometer and an unusually shaped climate control unit (all from Renault Clio). But over time, there are fewer reasons for joy. The plastic is hard everywhere, the steering wheel is not adjustable for reach, even in the maximum configuration, and women will be unpleasantly surprised by its effort when parking. “Kaptyur” does not have a normal armrest with a box inside, and in the shapeless seats you start to fidget after a couple of hundred kilometers - your back gets tired.

Renault Kaptur

Hyundai, on the other hand, is conservative and boring - the eye only clings to a pleasant "tidy" with white backlit arrows and scales. But it's more comfortable to sit here - you can pull the steering wheel towards you! It is a pity that both the steering wheel and the armchairs are covered with slippery leatherette. I was surprised by the tiny touch screen of the multimedia system - now there are no such and such in mobile phones!

In details Creta surpasses Kaptur - there is a full-fledged armrest, 2 12-volt outlets in front, three-stage seat heating (Renault has 1 position) and steering wheel (which Kaptur does not have at all). True, Hyundai's glove compartment is very tiny - A4 papers can be put here if you are not afraid to crumple them. And even in the most expensive version of Comfort with the Style and Advanced packages for 1,289,900 rubles, Hyundai does not have a rain sensor, navigation system and cruise control! By the way, it has added 25 thousand in price since the start of sales, although the most affordable modification in the price list still costs 749,000 rubles.

Market success

This is also why the statistics speaks in favor of "Creta" - in just 5 months it has already settled among the 25 most popular models of the year with the result of almost 18 thousand cars. Kaptur starts from 859 thousand and is almost twice as low in sales. But do not forget that the version with a CVT, on which Renault is making the main bet, appeared only in September. However, since its appearance in showrooms in August, the Creta has consistently outstripped even the Renault Duster, which previously held the title of the most popular crossover in the country.

Our Renault Kaptur in the top Style version is 1,163,980 rubles. Noticeably cheaper than Hyundai, even if you have to pay extra for the leather interior in Capture. What else is this money? A two-liter 143-horsepower engine, climate control, an engine start button (and, by the way, a remote start system from a key card), comfortable access, parking sensors and a rear view camera, a multimedia complex with navigation, four-wheel drive and ... yes, that the most four-speed automatic, which has long been known for Renault models.

Renault Kaptur

Battle of the automata

That is why Kaptur starts quite slowly from a place (although the characteristics assure that it accelerates up to a hundred faster than "Creta"), and the box sometimes jerks when switching. Before overtaking, it is better to go down a step in manual mode, and on the track such a Kaptur frustrates with increased crankshaft revs. Which, however, does not affect the acoustic comfort in any way - a very quiet car!

Hyundai's strong point is the six-speed automatic, available for either of the two engines (1.6 and 2.0). But not only because of this, the Creta rushes forward, like a stung - typical for Hyundai, the first response to the gas pedal is too harsh. And it gets in the way in traffic jams or when trying to fit into a tight parking space - as if not to be in a neighbor's bumper! Otherwise, there are no complaints about the power unit, although the box is trying with all its might to stay at the higher stages and when overtaking or accelerating, you have to press the pedal until the kickdown.

Renault Kaptur

The most surprising thing is that the fuel consumption in urban conditions for crossovers was the same - 11.5-11.7 l / 100 km. But if Kaptur needs to be filled with "95" gasoline, then Creta is certified for the use of "92". Nice bonus. And in general, the Creta is good on city streets - it has much better visibility, especially forward, a light steering wheel that women will definitely like, and it is not afraid of turns.

What is good for "Crete" is "Capture" ...

With Renault, everything is the other way around - shocks from irregularities in the arc are transmitted to the "tight" steering wheel, and "KamAZ" can hide behind the thick front struts. But the more difficult the conditions are, the better for Capture! On the days of the test, the roads were covered with snow, but even on regular all-season Pirelli tires Scorpion Verde car feels easy (thanks to the power steering!) And clings well to the surface. And as soon as that - ESP will delicately enter the case. Very transparent behavior!

Renault Kaptur

But the main thing is the fantastic smoothness of the ride on bad roads. Pits, potholes, primer - nothing at all! Hyundai feels more shaky and fussy, and those who thought of changing the shoes of the Cretu into a Sava Eskimo Ice spike should be deprived of the premium - and the point is not only that the spikes in it, it seems, are only for decoration, but they also hum unpleasantly , which only emphasizes the poor sound insulation of the wheel arches.

Both crossovers did not do without "winter" oddities. For example, in Renault electric heating windshield it turns on only simultaneously with the blowing mode. If you want to quickly thaw out - listen to the noise of the fan and air! And on the Crete, the buttons for heating the seats and the steering wheel are grouped under the climate control unit, which makes one think if she really has no threads in the “lobovukha”? There is! But the key must be looked for ... to the left of the steering wheel. Rear-view cameras in winter Moscow become useless after half an hour's drive. It's good that they are duplicated by parking sensors. And Hyundai's frame wiper blades also freeze over. And this is in the car for almost 1.3 million rubles ...

Hyundai creta

Renault Kaptur

Swapped bodies?

It turned out surprisingly - with all its "European" appearance and a bunch of bright details, Renault Kaptur is most impressive in difficult conditions. Rough habits and flaws in visibility will not please in the city, but the omnivorous suspension and "Duster" reliability should provide him with the love of residents of regions with bad roads... Plus, it looks non-trivial and is quiet inside. But young people are unlikely to like the sluggish acceleration of the "Capture".

On the contrary, for all its ordinary appearance, Hyundai Creta is a real city dweller. Easy to operate, comfortable in landing, with good visibility and a nimble power unit. But it upsets the suspension, which shakes the occupants of the cabin on short waves and joints at speeds typical for the city, and on a long journey will tire you with the noise of tires and the lack of cruise control. And what do older people want, if not comfort and peace?

Russian crossovers Kreta are produced near St. Petersburg, as well. Both new items are equipped with engines of the same displacement. The trim levels include both “automatic” and four-wheel drive. So which is better, Renault Kaptur or Hyundai Creta? There is no definite answer, but you need to choose what the soul lies more with - both cars are not much inferior in characteristics to each other. Kaptur has richer equipment, its ground clearance is higher, and Renault has provided a complete set for off-road. Creta is distinguished by a lower price, as well as slightly better acceleration dynamics.

We are comparing two different new products - what is the difference between the configuration and prices? The answer can be found in the video.

Kaptur's ground clearance is 204 mm - photo of the editorial car

Body landing at compact crossovers can't be high. But .

This means that we are dealing with a very serious SUV. One of its configurations is formed as follows: a 6-speed "mechanics" is added to the all-wheel drive and a 2.0-liter engine. Creta has a similar version available only with a "automatic".

Bodies of two different cars

The bottom line is that the clearance of Renault and Hyundai crossovers is different, and the comparison will not be in favor of the latter. Hyundai Creta is an urban crossover with roomy trunk and short body:

• Creta - 4270 mm, 190 mm, 431/1280 l;
• Kaptur - 4333 mm, 204 mm, 378/1200 HP

Let's compare Hyundai Creta and Renault Kaptur, using passport data:

• Motors - 149 versus 143 hp (2.0 l), 123 versus 114 hp. (1.6 l);
• Acceleration to 100 km / h - 12.3 against 12.5 s (1.6 l + manual gearbox, 4 × 2).

In complete sets with two-liter engine Creta loses in dynamics, moreover, even in the version with a mono drive. The reason for this is the limited configuration: only automatic transmission corresponds to a powerful engine.

All dynamic parameters

Consider one complete set: "automatic" + 4 × 4. Here Kaptur is slightly ahead of the competitor, despite the less powerful engine.

The automatic transmission installed on the Hyundai crossover is 6-speed. Renault has nothing like this. However, differences in the number of stages have little effect on acceleration dynamics (photo above, column 4).

Let's do a little trick, remove the column with the variator. And it turns out that the Hyundai crossover is 5-10% more economical than its competitor. The reason is the availability of modern engines. But the Hyundai 4 × 4 transmission failed. Otherwise, the fourth column would have other numbers (not 11 and 179, but, say, 10 and 190).

Still, 6-speed "automatic" is not so bad

It is the Hyundai Kreta that is one of those cars that "automatically" accelerate faster than "with mechanics". Number of steps automatic box equals 6, which is a big plus!

Assembling the Creta crossover, finished body

Automatic transmission units are brought from Japan: Renault buys them from Jatco, and Hyundai uses the services of Aisin. So, 6-speed "automatic machines" under the Aisin brand were produced both 6 and 10 years ago! It is ridiculous to argue that the Jatco 4-speed automatic is time-tested. Ten years is also not so short.

All Renault Kaptur can use against the Hyundai Cret is its economical CVT as well as the more efficient 4x4 drivetrain. However, the latter is due to the miscalculations of Hyundai and nothing else.

Disadvantages of both

For all its external compactness, Crete's body turned out to be heavy. In some configurations, the "additive" reaches 80 kg. But, but this is a plus!

Gross curb weight

We also take into account the worst aerodynamics - this is the reason for the slow acceleration.

Two rivals - Renault Kaptur and Hyundai Kreta - were presented to the Russian consumer in 2016, and for almost a year they have occupied the niche of "reliable crossovers", not wanting to give up their positions, therefore they are tirelessly competing for a place in the garage of almost every resident of the Russian Federation. Business representatives have long been paying attention to the confrontation between Renault Kaptur and Hyundai Kreta, not hiding that the Hyundai Kreta car was created as a “killer” of Duster, and accordingly, the “novelty” from Renault, the Kaptur series, may not pass by. Now just think about whether Hyundai Creta is endowed with those technical advantages, designed to destroy the love of Russians for Renault Duster and Captur? Or maybe he is weaker? And only aggressive advertising, the created image give it recognition and strength? Thinking? Then let's figure it out!

Five positive qualities of Renault Captur

The modern crossover Renault Kaptur is an example of sophisticated forms, smooth lines. And these are more signs of severity and restraint than aggression. The car resembles a giant capable of impressing both with its dimensions and steel character. Since the summer of 2016, Renault Captur has become available to the Russian consumer in three interpretations - Life, Drive, Style. They differ pricing policy, on-board computer stuffing, exterior design, so they differ in the audience that chooses one or another model for themselves. Those who recently acquired Renault Kaptur point to five of its main positive qualities:

1. Reliable directional stability. Urban Renault crossover Kaptur feels confident on Russian roads, because it has good ground clearance, reinforced long-travel suspension. Captur is capable of fast acceleration. Both in urban areas and on rough terrain, the car can prove itself with better side... Enters corners confidently, there is no excessive roll.
2. Noise isolation at the height of Renault Captur! Novice drivers note the fact that it is very comfortable to be behind the wheel, as it does not distract street noise, and there is no nervousness from the traffic situation. Perhaps that is why many men buy Renault Captur for their wives, hoping that it is simple and comfortable to operate.
3. Comfortable on-board computer... To the basic stuffing, the developers have added a modern multimedia system with a large 7-inch screen. A well-thought-out navigator is at the disposal of the car owner. The system connects to Bluetooth if necessary. Remote start is praised by many as an additional option.
4. Comfortable driving position. The cabin is equipped with a comfortable seat with a pillow and an armrest for the driver. There is a heating system for both seats and glass. The view of the road is sufficient, and the height of the landing site opens up a sufficient range of conditions along the route. Equipped with Renault Kaptur rear-view camera, side mirrors that can be adjusted without complicated manipulations.
5. Low fuel consumption. Drivers note that it is even possible to save on gasoline, because the car consumes acceptable amounts of fuel, the consumption is justified by the mileage traveled, the complexity of the road section. Even in traffic jams, the car consumes the permissible amount of gasoline.

Thus, Renault Kaptur has a wide circle of fans who recognize the advantages of the Renault model, created especially for the Russian consumer. And they can even forgive errors in the arrangement of the cabin, the use of inexpensive plastic for upholstery. Since all the errors are covered by the advantages in the running gear of Renault Kaptur cars.

Five positive qualities of Hyundai Greta

Initially, he will note that Hyundai Greta is a reliable and fairly compact urban crossover, created on the platform of the i20 hatchback, which confidently declared itself in the Russian automotive market, presenting loudly its main advantages:

• Technically cleverly equipped
• Small in size, therefore easy to maneuver
• High ground clearance

But the owners of the car themselves determine the main five advantages of the model:

1. High degree of security. It is achieved by using a strong main frame made of proven steel. The cabin is equipped with airbags. Their set consists of six units. According to their location, they are classified as frontal and lateral. And that is not all! The developers also used curtain airbags mounted on the side glazing in the interior equipment. Their intended purpose is to protect passengers and the driver from fatal blows to the head. The high degree of safety of Hyundai Greta has been proven in a number of crash tests conducted by experts. There is also a reward! For example, the expert organization C-NCAP (China) rated the Hyundai Greta model "5" for its correct behavior on the crash test.
2. Eye-catching exterior vehicle... It doesn't matter whether it is Renault Captur or Hyundai Greta, the developer is trying to create a recognizable model, like a bright business card of the promoted brand. If you look at the body of Hyundai Greta, then you can note its bold and slightly impetuous lines in the outlines of the body, so it takes on a drop-shaped and slightly elongated shape. There are also bright accents in the design. First, these are the graphic lines in the roof area. Secondly, the original and quite bold glazing.
3. Compactness of dimensions. If you roughly compare the sizes of Renault Kaptur and Hyundai Creta, it turns out that the second sample of the car industry is smaller in size, but inferior just a few centimeters to the opponent.
4. A neat and versatile interior. This means that the Supervision on-board panel satisfies the basic needs of the driver, as it provides all the necessary information about the state of the car, and allows you to confidently follow the route.
5. There are five complete sets of Hyundai Creta cars on sale, they received the designation: Start, Active, Comfort and Travel. So there is plenty to choose from for demanding Russians!

Thus, the dilemma of which is better to buy - Renault Kaptur or Hyundai Creta - is better to solve on your own, having previously prioritized, outlining the unshakable selection criteria. And you will succeed!

In Russia, many motorists prefer crossovers. Such cars are distinguished by their impressive dimensions, roomy trunk and high ground clearance. Today, the choice of crossovers is huge. But we will look at the budget line (in the region of one million rubles) and try to compare Hyundai Greta and Renault Captur. Photos, review and features of these cars - below.

general characteristics

Renault Captur is a French B-class all-wheel drive crossover. Official sales in Russia started in the summer of 2016. The car is being assembled in the Moscow region.

Hyundai Greta is a crossover of Korean origin, but since 2016 it has been assembled near St. Petersburg. According to the manufacturer, "Greta" was specially prepared for Russian conditions - improved bottom processing and increased ground clearance.

Both cars are offered in a 5-seater version. They differ in affordable cost and pleasant design. But which is better - Renault Captur or Hyundai Greta? Which one is more comfortable, faster and more economical? To answer these questions, let's compare the Hyundai Greta with the Renault Captur.

Exterior

Let's start the comparison with the design. Consider Renault Captur. This car has a pretty nice appearance. This was achieved due to the large glazing area - it makes up one third of the total body volume. The car has a look similar to other Renault models - the same wide radiator grille and headlights are used on the Logan of the last years of production. The bumper of the "Kaptur" has a short overhang. This contributes to better flotation. Also in the bumper there is an angular strip with running lights... The edge of the arches is equipped with a plastic protective strip. The same is on the thresholds. Rear arches are slightly swollen - this gives the crossover a more toned appearance... But due to the lack of raznoshirovannyh discs, the rear wheels look awkward.

The windshield of the Renault Captur extends slightly onto the roof. This ensures not only good overview for the driver, but also personalizes the design. In general, the exterior of the "Frenchman" deserves high marks. The design, due to the large angles and glass elements, will not seem outdated for at least another 5-6 years.

Now about the "Korean". It is rather difficult to compare Hyundai Greta and Renault Captur in appearance. Koreans have their own ideology regarding design. If Renault is more adapted for young people, Hyundai is already quite a family car. There are no such bold lines and contours here. At the front there is a modest radiator grill, trapezoidal PTFs and lenticular headlights. The silhouette of the "Korean" cannot be called dynamic - it is a calm car, without frills and aggressive forms. The French are more creative in this regard - say the reviews.

Hyundai Greta and Renault Captur are offered in different colors (more than ten in both cases). Therefore, everyone can choose a car to their liking.

Dimensions, clearance

Both cars belong to the class subcompact crossovers... However, Renault received a larger body. So, its length is 4.34 meters, width - 1.81 meters, height - 1.61 meters. But, as noted by the reviews, the interior space of the "Korean" is implemented more successfully. The very same crossover "Greta" received the following dimensions: length - 4.27 meters, width - 1.78 meters, height - 1.63.

The ground clearance of Renault Captur and Hyundai Greta is another story. The Korean manufacturer said it has adapted the car for Russian conditions by increasing the ground clearance. However, its size is 19 centimeters. Youth "Kaptur" without "adaptation" has a factory, 21-centimeter clearance. Also french crossover characterized by short overhangs. This allows the departure angle to be increased up to 31 degrees. not available in all trim levels. This applies to both Renault Captur and Hyundai Greta. Note that in the "base" the drive goes to the front wheels. The rear "cart" is connected via a viscous coupling. Both crossovers do not have differential locks - this is pure

Salon "Greta"

Let's start our review of the interior with the Hyundai Greta. the crossover is implemented more successfully - the car is distinguished by good ergonomics and high-quality noise insulation. The interior design is very strict, mostly in dark colors. The center console houses a multimedia display. There is a slot for memory cards and USB drives. The radio tape recorder also reads discs.

Below is the climate control unit, 12-volt socket and alarm button. The panel is not overloaded with unnecessary details - this is a big plus. At the same time, the radio and the gearshift lever can be reached without looking up from the seat back. The seats themselves are equipped with good lateral support. In the middle there is an armrest and two cup holders. The glove compartment on the passenger side cannot be locked with a key. The interior is finished in fabric, but faux leather is available in the luxury versions. The door cards have a pocket for storing magazines and other small items.

By the way, already in basic configuration the Hyundai crossover is equipped with a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, which allows you to remotely control the audio system without being distracted from the movement. The steering wheel is adjustable in two directions and has a pleasant grip - note the reviews of the owners.

Renault Captur or Hyundai Greta? Considering the salon "Frenchman"

The interior of "Kaptura" strongly resembles "Duster" and "Logan" - the same oval and smooth panel shapes, round air vents and the shape of the seats.

The design of the front panel simply screams about its budget - the lines are so simple and primitive that it is simply impossible to attribute "Kaptur" to a more expensive class. But the Hyundai looks more presentable. Nevertheless, it is quite comfortable and convenient to be inside - the reviews say. The driver is provided with a modern steering wheel with a pleasant grip, a seat with a lot of adjustments and a dashboard with a digital speedometer. On the center console is a multimedia display with a strange oval edging. What the French applied this decision to is unknown. As in the "Korean", there are two armrests (front and rear). But the glove compartment is very modest. As for the finishing, fabric with 3D inserts or leather is available at Kaptura. The use of bright inserts is offered as an option.

Answering the question "which is better -" Renault Captur "or" Hyundai Greta "", it is necessary to note the lack of free space at the "Frenchman". This is partly due to the low roof - the rear passengers rest their heads against the ceiling. In Hyundai, due to the more elongated body, this drawback is leveled. Subjectively, it does not seem so close, although the size of the "Korean" is more compact than the "Frenchman". The design itself in "Greta" seems more solid and pleasant. Kaptur has a lot of strange lines and budget plastic. In terms of the interior, the "Korean" wins significantly.

Specifications

Both crossovers are equipped with two gasoline power units to choose from. This is a line of 1.6- and 2-liter engines. If we consider the "Captur", the base unit develops a power of 114 horsepower. "Top" produces 143 power forces. The "Korean" has indicators technical characteristics much better. So, a 1.6-liter engine produces 123 horsepower, and the 2-liter - 149. This allows the crossovers to actively pick up speed. But not everything is so simple. In some versions, Hyundai is slower than Renault. To find out who is faster - Hyundai Greta or Renault Captur, below we consider their performance characteristics.

Dynamics, acceleration

In many ways, these indicators depend on the installed checkpoint. The following transmissions are provided for the Renault Captur crossover:

• Five-speed mechanics.
• Stepless variator.
• Six-speed mechanics.
• Automatic transmission for 4 gears.

The latter two are available only in the version with a two-liter engine. The basic unit, equipped with a 5-speed manual, accelerates the car to a hundred in 12.5 seconds. On the variator, this figure is even slower - 12.9. The maximum speed is 171 and 166 kilometers per hour for manual transmission and CVT, respectively. Remarkably, the CVT fuel consumption is less - 6.9 liters versus 7.4 (for mechanics) in the combined cycle.

Now let's move on to the two-liter modifications. They come with four-wheel drive. The version with 6MKPP accelerates to a hundred in 10.5 seconds. On the machine, the crossover accelerates in 11.2. The maximum speed is 185 and 180 kilometers per hour for the first and second boxes, respectively. Combined fuel consumption - 8 liters with 6MKPP. The old four-speed automatic makes itself felt - from 8.9 liters in the same mode. In urban conditions, the consumption often reaches 12.

Who is faster - Renault Captur or Hyundai Greta? Consider the characteristics of the latter. "Koreets" can be equipped with one of two gearboxes offered by the manufacturer:

• Six-speed mechanics.
• Six-band automatic machine.

Moreover, the latter can even be installed on a 1.6-liter version. What are "Greta" dynamic characteristics? Acceleration to a hundred with a basic engine and mechanics takes 12.1 seconds. On the machine, "Greta" is a little slower - gaining a hundred in 12.3 seconds. And the maximum speed in both cases is the same - 169 kilometers per hour. Fuel consumption is also not significantly different. The car consumes 7 and 7.2 liters per 100 kilometers on the combined cycle.

The two-liter version of "Hyundai Greta", unlike the "Captura", is equipped with only automatic transmission... Acceleration to hundreds takes 10.2 seconds on the front and 10.6 seconds on all-wheel drive. The maximum speed is limited to 183 kilometers per hour. Fuel consumption for the mono and all-wheel drive versions ranges from 7.5 to 8 liters on the combined cycle. In the city, both modifications fit into the top ten.

If we compare Hyundai Greta and Renault Captur, the Korean will be more dynamic. However, it also has more fuel consumption - this must be taken into account when buying. Well, the choice between dynamics and fuel efficiency- a purely individual matter.

Reliability

Many people are also interested in this question. Which is more reliable - Hyundai Greta or Renault Captur? If we talk about power units Both vehicles have reliable installations. The main requirements for maintenance are oil change every 7.5 thousand kilometers and fuel filter every 60. However, Greta's engines are less prone to detonation. They can run on 92-m gasoline, while technologically advanced Renault engines only on 95-m. The gearbox on both crossovers is also reliable - both VRGG and automatic. The exception is the Renault CVT. Here you have to change the clutch every 30 thousand kilometers. In terms of reliability, Greta is a more resourceful car.

Price

What to choose - Renault Captur or Hyundai Greta? The cost of these cars is approximately the same. Let's start with Greta. It is offered in several trim levels:

• "Start".
• "Active".
• "Comfort".
• Comfort Plus.

As an option, the dealer offers the installation of the "Warm Options" package. This term refers to heated mirrors, windshield, front and rear seats. The package price is 50 thousand rubles.

The initial cost of the car in 2017 is 750 thousand rubles. The basic package includes:

• Four power windows.
• Power steering.
• Disc brakes "in a circle".
• Audio system.
• Cloth interior and 16-inch stamped wheels.

As we can see, the level of equipment is rather modest. In addition, there is no air conditioning, and this is a very important option for many. The average set "Active" is available at a price of 884 thousand rubles. A luggage rack, electric side mirrors, air conditioning and four-wheel drive are added to the basic list of options. The "Comfort" version costs 80 thousand more. Here the buyer will receive alloy wheels, climate control and heated front seats (at no extra charge).

The maximum configuration "Comfort Plus" is available for 1 million rubles. These are exclusively all-wheel drive versions with a two-liter engine. The package includes parking sensors, electric power steering, 6 airbags, multimedia and a lot of auxiliary systems (exchange rate stabilization, help when starting up the hill, and so on).

Which is better - Hyundai Greta or Renault Captur? Let's move on to the last one. The crossover is offered in several trim levels:

• Life.
• "Drive".
• Style.

The minimum equipment is available at a price of 880 thousand rubles and includes:

• Air conditioning.
• Halogen fog lights.
• Hydraulic power steering.
• Power side mirrors.
• Audio system (four speakers).
• Front airbags.

The "Drive" version is available for 930 thousand rubles. This is where side curtain airbags are added, 17-inch alloy wheels, button start engine, cruise control and heated front seats.

The maximum grade "Style" is available at a price of 1 million 50 thousand rubles. This cost includes:

• Two-tone body paint.
• Multimedia complex with rear view camera and navigation.
• Rear parking sensors.
• Light and rain sensors.
• Heated windshield.
• LED fog lights.
• Climatic installation.

Summing up

In this article we have compared Hyundai Greta and Renault Captur. These cars are in the same class and in a similar price range. So what is better - Hyundai Greta or Renault Captur? The first crossover has low traffic, even with all-wheel drive. He simply lacks ground clearance and shortened overhangs. However, this car is more than suitable for the city. The crossover has a good, high-torque engine and can be equipped with a modern 6АКПП. The "Frenchman" is equipped only with the old torque converter from Jatco, which does not please the owners with fuel efficiency and dynamics. Taking a car for a big city on a mechanic is just crazy. The Korean manufacturer offers automatic transmissions already in the "minimum wage", with a 1.6-liter engine. But in terms of equipment "Renault" wins (take at least the air conditioner, which "Greta" does not have in the database).

The salon is more soundly made by the "Korean". The car inspires status and solidity. Everything about Renault looks childish, and it has a low roof. External appearance the "Kaptur" is tempting - the car catches the glances of passers-by. At the same time, "Greta" remains a gray mouse in the stream.

Which car to choose: Hyundai Greta or Renault Captur? Judging by the main characteristics of the crossover (this is the trunk, cabin space and acceleration dynamics), you should choose a "Korean". But the differences are so minimal that you simply won't be able to make a mistake in your choice. Both cars are noteworthy.

Among domestic motorists, the main latest news- This is Renault Kaptur, as well as Hyundai Greta. Designated vehicles, similar to Ford Export models and Lada X-Ray complement the very popular segment of budget crossovers. Their most attractive feature is the acceptable cost, which is obtained due to the development of foreign industries in the territory of the Russian Federation. In this article, we will try to compare the models and find out which is better.

Distinctive features in trim levels

If we compare, then the initial cost of both cars is different, and it all depends on the fact that in the basic configuration they are equipped in different ways. Judging by the numerous reviews of the owners of the Hyundai Greta car, then this model it can boast of the presence of its own proprietary audio system, which has built-in bluetooth, USB, AUX, as well as power steering, tilt steering wheel adjustment, automatic windows for all glass, 16 "stamps", an on-board computer. In turn, the "Frenchman" Renault Kaptur in the basic configuration has the following:

• Key card with remote control;
• Security alarm;
• Heated mirrors;
• Traction control assistant;
• 16-inch alloy wheels;
• Air conditioning;
• Steel protection of the engine.

Those people who want to compare and choose which is better "SUV" Renault Kaptur or Hyundai Greta, initially pay attention to the cost indicators. A crossover from Korea costs from 750 thousand rubles, and its competitor costs from 859 thousand rubles. The difference between the 1st model and the 2nd is that it is more affordable. But making the final choice in favor of Hyundai Greta, based only on the price, is a mistake.

Cars in the initial version have a pair of airbags. In the TOP configuration, Renault has 4 airbags, and Hyundai has 6 airbags. Based on standard trim levels models, the following conclusion can be drawn: Renault Captur looks more self-sufficient and rich than Hyundai Greta, which attracts buyers with its financial affordability.

Equipment of compared vehicles

• Heated front seats;
• Power mirrors;
• Air conditioning;
• Trunk shelf;
• central locking with remote navigation.

If we compare the cars that are currently popular now, then we can understand that the "SUV" from South Korea in the middle price category is almost the same as the Renault Captur in the basic configuration. However, the "Frenchman" does not stand still, and for an amount of 920 thousand rubles for an average configuration, car owners receive the following additions:

• Climate control;
• Leather steering wheel;
• Cruise control;
• Remote engine start assistant;
• Light-alloy wheels 17-inch wheels;

Trying to compare and find out which is actually better Renault Kaptur or the Korean car Hyundai Creta, based on average trim levels, it can be noted that again the French model has superiority. In the maximum trim levels, the situation is practically the same. Korean Hyundai Kreta at a cost of 0.950-1.140 million rubles is equipped with steering wheel adjustment for reach, light-alloy 16-inch wheel rims and parking sensors. The Renault Kaptur crossover, at a slightly higher price, is equipped with the following functions that are not available for a Korean:

• Light and rain sensors;
• Navigation system;
• Rear view camera;
• Heated windshield;
• Tinted rear windows.

As shown by numerous reviews from the owners of the Renault Kaptur model, you need to remember the indisputable advantages of this car: stickers on the roof, a program for a wider individualization of the exterior of the model in the form of a 2-color color, an orange color scheme as an option for some elements, as well as the interior in the form of textile trim of the seats in orange, and the option "leather interior".

The technical component of the models

Initially, it seems that in order to compare and understand the superiority of the model in terms of volume, you need to look at the dimensions. This opinion is erroneous. Although the "French" is 63mm longer and 33mm wider than its competitor, the "Korean" is much more spacious in the cabin. In terms of clearance, the Renault Kaptur leader is 204mm, while the Hyundai Creta has 190mm. Such are their dimensions.

Both models have 2 power plants volume 1.6 and 2.0. However, the power of the motors is different from each other. Renault has 114 l / st and 143 l / st, respectively, and Hyundai has 123 l / st and 149 l / st, respectively. The leader is obvious here.

It is impossible to talk about someone's superiority. Despite the slight differences in power, weak dynamics is characteristic of both crossovers. They have it almost the same. Engines with a volume of 2.0 with an automatic transmission accelerate from standstill in 11.2 / 11.3-seconds, respectively, up to 100 km. There are differences with a 1.6 engine:

1. French 5-speed versus Korean 6-speed manual transmission.
2. A chic variator versus a 6-speed automatic transmission from Hyundai.

There are also features in 2-liter versions: Renault Kaptur works in tandem with a 4-speed automatic, and Hyundai Creta is equipped with a comfortable 6-speed gearbox. The front-wheel drive version of the South Korean car is cheaper, its cost starts from 750 thousand rubles to 1 million rubles. Renault cost in the range of 860-970 thousand rubles. Model version with system all-wheel drive costs 1.05 million rubles, and a Korean car with a 4WD transmission will cost customers 1.14 million rubles.

Let's summarize

1. Korean car is the undisputed leader in the category " available crossover". The prices are affordable and start at 750 thousand rubles.
2. The French model is much richer in equipment, plus it has different programs for individualizing a car for a driver.
   Hyundai's interior is much more spacious, but lacks options such as a rear-view camera and navigation system;
3. Renault has more sizes and large ground clearance, which allows him to drive safely over rough terrain;
4. The technical side of compact crossovers is the same - these are 1.6 and 2.0 engines with weak dynamics, which work with manual and automatic transmissions, as well as a variator.
