Among domestic motorists, the main latest innovations have recently been in the center of attention - these are Renault Kaptur, as well as Hyundai Greta. Designated cars, like the Ford Export and Lada X-Ray models, fill up a very popular segment of budget crossovers. Their most attractive feature is an 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 models and find out which is better.

Distinctive features in packages

If we compare, then both cars have a different initial cost, and it all depends on the fact that they are equipped differently in the basic configuration. Judging by the numerous reviews of the owners of the Hyundai Greta car, this model can quite boast of the presence of its own proprietary audio system, which has built-in bluetooth, USB, AUX, as well as power steering, steering wheel tilt adjustment, automatic windows on all windows, “stamps » at 16, 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;
• Anti-skid assistant;
• 16-inch alloy wheels;
• Air conditioner;
• Steel protection of the engine.

Those people who want to compare and choose which is better Renault Kaptur SUV or Hyundai Greta initially pay attention to 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 one is that it is more accessible. But making the final choice in favor of the Hyundai Greta, based only on price, is a mistake.

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

Equipment of compared vehicles

• Heated front seats;
• Power mirrors;
• Air conditioner;
• luggage rack;
• Central locking with remote navigation.

If we compare the currently popular cars presented now, we can understand that the “SUV” from South Korea in the middle price category is almost the same as the Renault Kaptur 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 trim steering wheel;
• Cruise control;
• Remote engine start assistant;
• 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 configuration, the situation is almost the same. The Korean Hyundai Creta at a cost of 0.950-1.140 million rubles is equipped with a steering wheel adjustment for reach, light-alloy 16-inch wheels and parking sensors. The Renault Kaptur crossover, at a slightly higher price, is equipped with the following features that are not available for the Korean:

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

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

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. Such an opinion is erroneous. Although the “Frenchman” 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 Crete has 190mm. These are their dimensions.

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

It is impossible to talk about someone's superiority. Despite small differences in power, weak dynamics are typical for one and the other crossover. She's practically the same. 2.0 engines with automatic transmission accelerate from standstill in 11.2 / 11.3 seconds, respectively, to 100 km. With a 1.6 engine, there are differences:

1. French 5-speed gearbox versus Korean 6-speed manual.
2. A smart CVT against a 6-speed automatic transmission from Hyundai.

There are also features in 2-liter versions: Renault Kaptur is paired 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. The cost of Renault is in the range of 860-970 thousand rubles. A version of the model with an all-wheel drive system costs 1.05 million rubles, and a Korean car with a 4WD transmission will cost buyers 1.14 million rubles.

Summing up

1. The Korean car is the undisputed leader in the affordable crossover category. Prices are democratic, and start from 750 thousand rubles.
2. The French model is much richer in equipment, plus it has different programs for individualizing a car for a driver.
   The Hyundai interior is much more spacious, but does not have such options as a rear-view camera and a navigation system;
3. Renault has a larger size and high ground clearance, which allows it 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 mechanical and automatic transmissions, as well as a variator.
