Каждый автомобилист, который часто сталкивается с перевозкой небольших грузов, наверняка задумывался: «А не пересесть ли на pick-up?» Такая идея логично возникает у фермеров или представителей малого бизнеса. Также потребность в небольшой грузовой платформе есть у любителей экстремальных видов спорта, ведь на такой машине можно куда угодно возить с собой, например, гоночный мотоцикл, велосипеды, лодку, доски для сёрфинга, палатки и т. д. Эта машина будто сошла с экранов американских фильмов. Его называют домашний мини-грузовичок и симбиоз легковушки и внедорожника. Пикап недавно поселился на российском рынке, поэтому у местных шофёров всё ещё возникает масса вопросов и сомнений на его счёт. Давайте рассмотрим преимущества этого вида автомобилей на примере двух японских «караванов». Л200 или Хайлюкс — выберем лучший pickup.

Steering pick-up

Who is a pickup and what does it eat? We'll figure out. From the very beginning it was accepted to call pick-up cars of a commercial nature with an open cargo platform.

Today such cars, as a rule, are modified cars or SUVs with a body divided into two parts. One of them is covered for the transport of passengers. The second - without shelter, for the transportation of goods, often weighing up to 2.5 tons.

Legend USA

The first pick-ups went at the beginning of the 20th century through the streets of the USA and Europe. А на поток их производство поставили американцы. Именно в Америке машина получила необычайную популярность. Посмотрите любое кино «made in USA» — хотя бы один из героев, но обязательно промелькнёт мимо зрителя на pickupе.

In the USSR, cars with a “forked” body were also produced at one time. But they were not much in demand and came out in very small batches.

All will fit!

Сейчас популярнее всего в России pickupы, выполненные на базе внедорожников. For example, Toyota Hilux or Mitsubishi L200. Interestingly, these cars have a mass in common. However, as with all "off-road" pick-up in principle. The design is plain. Four doors (and there are also two-door versions), five places, and behind the “stationary trailer”, one and a half meters and a half.

In such a machine, you can transport a large company and all their belongings. Or another option - pack up without hesitation in the construction hypermarket, and on the way home, grab a team of repairmen. Closely will not be anyone.

So what is better - L200 or Hilux? Believe me, it will be interesting to watch the “Hilux vs L200” battle.

Practical car

Let's start with toyotovskogo mini-truck. Here, all without excesses, modest and only in the case. There is no special automation, all adjustments are manual. Of the special "stuffing" in the standard version can be distinguished, perhaps, only air conditioning. Such a car to the bone practical motorist.

I sit high, I look away

In the cabin Hilux is spacious, provides good visibility, including normally viewed and "ass."

Toyota is quite high. Just imagine, in some versions the clearance is more than 290 mm! The car already looks powerful, but this “height” adds even more “thundering effect”.

To seat such a machine on the "belly", you need to carefully try. But due to the high ground clearance, both the driver and passengers have to lift their legs properly to get up to the salon. Although help in this handrails and powerful steps.

Choosing L200 or Hilux, pay attention to the finish. Toyota did not use expensive materials for its pickup. Instruments, panels, steering wheel, gears - everything is standard toyotovskoe no frills.

Speeds no, obstacles yes

How it behaves on the road. It would be correct to say that phlegmatic. On the canvas is very confident, no strong rolls or drifts. He without special emotions, stubbornly and purposefully sneak through any drifts and bumps. Down, up - no questions asked.

Some test drives even demonstrate how Hilux, without straining and not clinging to the bottom, literally "jumps over" the logs lying in the middle of the road.

But as far as speed and dynamics are concerned, this is not a Highlux skate. He was not accustomed to “tinkering” and “lives” according to the principle: “If you go slower, you will continue.”

The average payload is almost 900 kg. But the length of the platform for freight is slightly less than that of a competitor. "Eats" in the city car about 10 liters, on the highway - 7.2.

Test drive car Toyota Hilux:

"Fresh" version

Самая свежая версия тойотовского pickupа появилась на нашем рынке в 2011 году. Она въехала на семнадцатидюймовых дисках и с «мордой» а-ля Ленд Крузер.

There are even larger mirrors, and a touch screen and a modern audio system are installed in the cabin. Under the seat of the back of the sofa provides additional compartments for things. In this model, also built a video system that displays the picture "overboard".

Basic features

In the basic configuration toyotovsky pickup comes with a 2.5-liter engine. It is diesel and equipped with a turbocharger to increase power. Issues such an engine 144 "horses." Transmission - mechanics. In the “base” - ABS-ka, central locking, Conder, electric lifts on the windows, heated windows, mirrors and seats.

In total, the manufacturer offers three modifications of the Hilux: Standard, Comfort and Elegance, Prestige and Prestige Plus.

The cost of Hilux machines is from 1.2 million rubles.

In summary, Toyota can be safely recommended as a powerful and reliable machine. And at the same time, as understandable and ductile in management.

«Элька» XXXL

But we have a comparison of the Hilux and L200, so from the dithyrambs of Toyota we proceed to the analysis of the merits and demerits of Mitsubishi.

Note that within Russia it is the best-selling pick-up. The luxury version is impressive here. Complete electronics, comfortable seats Discounts for new cars! Profitable loan from 9.9% installments 0% adom.ru in the cabin and expensive finishing materials.

With a slight movement of the hand, the roof turns ...

Но вот в чём основная фишка: этот pickup… крытый. Так, A special removable design is put on the body. As a result, a roof, a door and windows appear at the back of the car.

It turns out a small van. In the case when you need an open cargo area, this "tip" is easily removed. It is only necessary to unscrew the bolts, which will take very little time. And here protection is provided to remove the design could not thieves.

A pleasant trifle - the platform is covered with a “carpet” of plastic, which in its structure resembles fabric. This is great, because the load does not scratch the metal over the metal and does not damage it.

Meet in the face

Outwardly, you can see that the car is very much like a jeep, only its longer version. Speaking frankly, many motorists emphasize that if you choose a Toyota Hilux or Mitsubishi L200 for "face", then the appearance of "Elka" is much more attractive. Experienced people also say that landing in Mitsubishi is more comfortable - the thresholds are lower.

Road behavior

А каково сравнение L200 и Hilux в дороге? Важный момент. Мицубиси наделил свой pickup функцией перехода с заднего привода на full (в условиях езды на скорости до сотни).

L200 well manifests itself in the conditions of the city, despite its size. True, it is not possible to control the situation “from behind” through the cabin mirrors. This causes some discomfort, especially when parking.

In general, the car a smooth ride. She easily overcomes obstacles. However, if in the Hilux it is possible to give gas in this case, then in the case of “Elka” it is better to slow down.

Speed ​​"but"

Как и Тойота, pickup Мицубиси не предназначен для куража на дороге. Он тоже любитель тихого хода. Более того — едет ещё медленнее, чем конкурент. В этом критерии Л200 против Хайлюкс вообще не имеет аргументов. Соточка ей под силу лишь спустя почти 18 секунд. У Тойоты этот показатель — 11, 6 секунды.

"Eats" car almost 11 liters in the city and 7.5 liters on the highway.

We continue the duel "Toyota Hilux vs Mitsubishi L200". And here is a fact that emerges: L200 most often has a greater carrying capacity. On average - 1060 kg.

Test drive a car Mitsubishi L200:

Standard "set"

Базовая модель Л200 оборудована dieselным движком на 2,5 литра, он показывает 136 л. с. В такой модели 5 automatic transmission. Всего представлены четыре комплектации «эльки». Цена на Л200 стартует с 1,5 миллиона рублей.

Long-term "project"

Отметим, что приобрести такой автомобиль в России пока может далеко не каждый. Как правило, pickupы появляются в обеспеченных семьях в качестве второго автомобиля — автомобиля для отдыха.

That is why such a machine - a long-term "project". With its characteristics and gentle operation, the machine will serve its owner for many years.

"Japanese" in the garage

We tried to compare the L200 and Hilux and now we can say for sure: the cars are similar both in appearance and technical qualities. Yes, Mitsubishi is a more fashionable model and is captivating with the possibility of transformation into a covered truck. But it is more expensive. And the rest ...

Both cars can not boast of speed capabilities, but overcome obstacles on the road so that no jeep never dreamed of. All-terrain vehicles with a "trailer" - so you can characterize these cars. If you are looking for such a car, feel free to bring any of these "Japanese" to your garage.
