The car of the Nissan Beetle was presented at theGeneva Motor Show in early 2010 and immediately attracted attention by a non-trivial design combined with high technical performance. The parameters of the new compact crossover are 4135 * 1765 * 1570 mm, and the wheelbase is slightly shorter than that of its counterparts on the manufacturer Note and Qashqai.
Автомобиль выпускается в двух комплектациях:base and top. It is equipped with a front-wheel drive or an all-wheel-drive electronic system, which is the latest discovery by Nissan developers. It is planned to begin sales of Nissan Beetle in Russia in 2011. At the moment it can be purchased in Europe at a quite democratic price. It is sold in the European market with three types of engines to choose from: gasoline with turbocharging and direct fuel injection (190 hp), petrol 16-clapon (117 hp) and diesel 110 hp. The estimated maximum fuel consumption is 6.9 liters per 100 kilometers. The estimated cost of Nissan Beetle in Russia will be about 625 thousand rubles. Such a price, undoubtedly, will attract a huge number of buyers, since it distinguishes the car from other similar groups.
Some motorists have already left their recalls aboutnissan beetle, in which it is not always praised. So the strength of the car in public opinion was its design. Thanks to a wide windshield, everything that is happening on the road is perfectly visible. The lack of handles on the back doors makes it similar to the coupe, so almost all agreed that the family car can not be called such a car.
Regarding appearance, reviews about Nissan Beetlealso somewhat diverge. Someone thinks that this freak is a shame of the concern Nissan, while others, on the contrary, hold the view that its appearance is fashionable, modern and fresh. It is difficult to talk about the innovation of car design, since even with the naked eye one can see its similarity with Kashkay.
Negative reviews about Nisan The beetle is mainly concerned with its rigid suspension,because of which, even moving through the recumbent policemen, the backside of the car jumps violently, which is extremely inconvenient. Still motorists criticized the ECO regime, which is effective only on direct roads and then, if you leave it from the SPORT mode. Also, too hard brakes, which stop the car abruptly with a slight depression on them, also showed bad results.
Many comments about the Nissan beetle still leftmen who noticed that glass blowing was insufficient, as a result of which ice was constantly on the windshield in winter, and that noise insulation was almost completely absent at high speeds. Women did not like the high fuel consumption in the city and the inability to adjust the steering wheel in length.
Summarizing the above, the Nissan beetle is notthe most successful model of this concern. Undoubtedly, its design favorably distinguishes the car among others on the road. It combines the exterior of an SUV and a premium sports car. Another of its positive characteristics is the low cost, although, most likely, in Russia it will cost more than the promised 625 thousand. The minuses of the car were stiff suspension and brakes, the inability to adjust the cabin under the driver, a small engine size, even in the configuration, where there is a turbo. In general, the Nissan Beetle will surely find its buyer and conquer a certain niche in the country's auto market. Among his fans now there are quite a few women. The audience targeted by this car consists mainly of young and fairly wealthy people, for whom image plays a significant role in choosing a vehicle.
