Вся галерея мероприятияWe have reason to believe that this is the most beautiful car in the class. Ideal proportions, a large part of the front is compensated by parts: an aggressive front bumper flavored with «cone». And let no gills on the hood and relief — the overall impression amazing. False radiator grille in chrome fatty points, concave inward, creates a stunning effect of 3D.
With a very close inspection diamonds Diamond Grill «transformed» in the lackluster pimples of metal, but from afar grille looks just super.
The head light is not original, and revolutionary solutions in it, he did not even fully LED, but then with some attention to detail is made — is fascinating.
At the stern, too, is something to see: a diode spoiler stop lamp, chrome exhaust pipe and of itself — lights. As is the case with front light here has its own charm: a complex architecture with two «jackdaws» diodes look stunning. A «eighteenth» wheels, shod in thin «erasers» rubber arches in a small A-class fire add!
And yes, the acid-green bee — Mercedes-Benz A220 4Matic. Let me introduce.
The new «A» — swift hatchback, and it has nothing in common with the previous models — those hyped smart, which turns on the «moose test». Occasionally it happens that when you change the model generation is below. In our case, the A-class — it has occurred, it was below 16 centimeters. Planting of the previous model was like an SUV, and the new offers comfortable to lie down.
Once in the interior of the car from the pockets of the world begins to fall a trifle. Chairs with integrated headrests bows body as my mother's arms and create a sense of security and comfort. Buckled belt and pulled sharply — a car so hello to you. Well, hello, old friend. Painfully, you know. Good old Mercedes.
More talk about the materials and we are not going to ergonomics, because most of the elements of the internal decoration of the brand roams from model to model. And talk about the duct vents — these kruglyashi emphasize the highest performance and interior in a large extent they are responsible for the cool touch effect — pleasure from touching the material.
Baffle duct, and virtually all of the buttons in the cabin — plastic, but to the touch — like metal, so cool. And all thanks to a specially electrolytic coating method. These things I want to caress and touch.
Knees of rear passengers will have a place to roam, the space for the heads of two adults is enough. But due to the nature of landing on the back seat, a long road for the passengers to be far from ideal.
The main «trick» of interior decoration — the ability to change tone interior lighting. Diode illumination with bright beams of light, it can be seen even in the daytime. And in terms of the minimum illumination at night or you will be in the atmosphere of bright colors and adjust the backlight, you can according to your mood: color palette is huge and it can be combined.
Multimedia system works briskly and graphics pleasing to the eye, but on subjective opinion, use upper and lower dies is not convenient in the menu. And even more problematic in the way to manage the system by using a washer.
And to fully feel the car, highlighting select bright red and recall that under the hood A220 184 horsepower and 300 «Newton» torque, flavored with a proprietary system 4Matic all-wheel drive. Boring you will not be exact. This car — a city car and nice «Cruiser» over long distances.
We have in the arsenal of a system of individual suspension settings, engine and transmission — DYNAMIC SELECT. At the speed of the robot 7G-DCT «snaps» Etalon transmission. The suspension can not be accused of excessive rigidity and softness — on the road like clockwork. Motor on the brake calipers grasp sharply — to pedal to get used to. At the same time the accelerator pedal is flexible and easy — you can do harder. But the wheel is sharpened dagger — draws a line on the road with no adjustments and podrulivany in the long corners.
But in the ragged urban flux mode, the robot with two clutches begins to «nervous»: thoughtfully and with «kicks» shifts gears. Transmission clanks metal and vibrates when starting or stopping.
But if traffic jams and traffic lights have been left behind — to operate the A220 — a pleasure: the wheel has a clear zero position and adequate response to changes in the cornering force. It perfectly holds a straight line and with passion bites into the turns. But in the city, these little pluses are lubricated: the rigid suspension and not energy-intensive. On the bumps body «Merce» is shaken by powerful breakdowns. A pit, and the joints were quite tough: sometimes without seeing another joint web or pit can be obtained chandelier on the instrument panel as an icon of the fallen tire pressure. It is unlikely that such sacrifices are necessary for handling the car brand Mercedes-Benz. The more that rivals in the class there are no such problems.
Available all-wheel drive 4Matic — controversial decision for this car. Front wheel drive him enough «for the eyes.» Effectively «fire» you do not succeed, and to «go into the horizon» spitting dirt out of all wheels — too. Hope is divided on the electronic babysitter. But on the winter road leading extra pair might be not excessive.
Stability System can stop unruly rude driving. And you can not turn it off.
Do you need an ambiguous, but definitely interesting and even «cool» hatchback brim stuffed with additional options. Of course!
However, if you like acid green, funny bangs on the gear shift, excellent handling and dynamics! That's what this car and will buy. A stiff suspension it or not — what's the difference? The main thing is stronger hold cup of coffee.
