AbaseBrithani, ekuphakameni kokuhlakanipha kwabo, baqamba igama elithi "hot hatch" emashumini eminyaka edlule, elafika ekuboneni izinguqulo zezemidlalo ze "hatchbacks" ezivamile. Ngokuvamile, ama-hatchback izimoto ezinama-hatchback anezicabha ezintathu noma ezinhlanu - ingxenye enkulu yesigaba B no-C, okungukuthi, ama-SUV nezimoto ezincane zomndeni. I-hot hatch ihlanganisa imishini enjengomfanekiso ngendlela efiseleka ngayo: kusukela ku-Peugeot 205 GTI kuya ku-Honda Civic Type R yakamuva futhi, ngaphandle kokukhohlwa, “uyise” wabo, iVolkswagen Golf GTI.
Namuhla i-hatch eshisayo iyaphila futhi iyanconywa. Kodwa usongo lusondela emkhathizwe ngokuvela kwamaSUV namaCrossovers. Lezi ziyaqhubeka nokuthola isabelo semakethe kuzo zonke ezinye izinhlobo futhi zigcina leli jubane, kungekudala ngaphambi kokuba zibe amandla amakhulu emakethe. Futhi ngenxa yalokho, ukuhlukahluka kwamamodeli nezinguqulo, okuhlanganisa okuhlukile okugxile ekusebenzeni, kulawa masegimenti adume kakhulu, kufanele kube yindaba yesikhathi.
Kusondele inkathi ye-"Hot SUV".
Uma ama-SUV asebenza kahle kakhulu esevele ekhona ezingxenyeni ezingaphezulu, ehla emazingeni ambalwa, lapho kuhlala khona ama-hot, kuncane noma akukho lutho olukhona. Kodwa kuyisimo esingashintsha kakhulu esikhathini esifushane nesiphakathi, ikakhulukazi ezandleni zeqembu leVolkswagen - i-SEAT isivele ilungiselela i-Ateca Cupra nge-300 hp, futhi uhlobo lwaseJalimane luhlose ukwethula i-Tiguan R, kanye i-T-Roc R. Ingabe kuzoba isiqalo esiqinisekile senkathi ye-Hot SUV?Kungani uye ngqo kwa-R futhi ungadluli ku-GTI? Hhayi-ke, ngokwalabo abanomthwalo wemfanelo womkhiqizo, isifinyezo esithi GTI siyigugu futhi sihlotshaniswa phakade ne-hot hatch. Ngakho-ke, ukuze bakhombe lezi zinhlobo ezinamandla kakhulu zeSUV yabo, banqume ukuphendukela kolunye uhlobo lwabo oluncane lokusebenza - i-R.
Ingena kahle njengoba iGolf R, womabili amaSUV asebenza kahle kakhulu aphuma namasondo amane.
I-Tiguan R enamasilinda amahlanu… nge-Audi
IVolkswagen Tiguan R iyona ebonakala isiseduze nokufinyelela emakethe, nama-prototypes asevele abonakala kusekethe yaseNürburgring (esithombeni esigqanyisiwe). Njengamanje iTiguan enamandla kakhulu yi-2.0 Bi-TDI, enama-240 hp, kodwa ku-R kukhona okukhethekile okuhleliwe.
I-prototype ebonwe kusekethe yaseJalimane ifakwe injini efanayo ne-Audi RS3 kanye ne-TT RS - i-phenomenal five-cylinder in-line turbo le modeli eletha i-400 hp. Ima… i-Tiguan R enama-hp angu-400?! Bamba amahhashi lapho, ngeke kube njalo.
Angicabangi ukuthi sizoke sazi ukuthi i-Audi iwuthokozele kangakanani umbono wokubona amasilinda amahlanu emodeli yakwaVolkswagen, kodwa kuqinisekile ukuthi iTiguan R ngeke ize nawo “wonke ama-calories” I-cylindrical penta inikeza i-RS3 ne-TT RS. Kodwa-ke, izobe ikude ne-anemic - kulinganiselwa ukuthi idlula kahle i-300 hp.
I-T-Roc R prototype isivele ikhona
Ngokuqondene ne-T-Roc R, izindaba ezinhle ukuthi isibonelo se-T-Roc R sesivele sikhona ngenjongo yokuhlola ukuba nokwenzeka kwesiphakamiso. Kodwa ingabe izofika emakethe? Kusesekuseni kakhulu ukuthi ungaqinisekisa. Ngokusho kukaFrank Welsch, umuntu obhekelele ucwaningo nentuthuko kwaVolkswagen, obephethe ukuklama i-T-Roc R prototype, unethemba lokuthi uzoba nesibani esiluhlaza ukuze aqhubekele phambili.
Ukuphawula kwalabo abaye bazama i-prototype kube kuhle kakhulu, kodwa ukuvunyelwa kuncike, ngaphezu kwakho konke, ekusebenzeni kwezentengiselwano kwe-T-Roc ngokujwayelekile kanye nasezinguqulweni eziqondile ezifana ne-2.0 TSI ene-190 hp. Uma kunentshisekelo yemakethe eyanele ku-T-Roc enamandla, i-T-Roc R cishe ingenzeka.
Futhi uma lokho kwenzeka, injini ekhethiwe izowela ku-2.0 Turbo esingayithola kuVolkswagen Golf R kanye neSEAT Leon Cupra, yona kanye ezosetshenziswa ku-Ateca Cupra.
Ngawo wonke lawa mamodeli abelana ngesisekelo esifanayo, ukuhlanganisa nokuthuthukisa umsebenzi wenziwa ube lula. Ngakho-ke, i-T-Roc R kulindeleke ukuthi ilethe cishe i-300 hp, iphikisana nesiphakamiso saseSpain ngokuqondile.
IVolkswagen akuyona yodwa elungiselela futhi icubungula izinhlobo “ezishisayo” zeSUV yayo. Kwanele ukuthi esinye salezi ziphakamiso, kungakhathalekile ukuthi hlobo luni lomkhiqizo, sethulwa futhi siphumelele ukuthi abanye basilandele. Bese kuthi yebo, inkathi ye-Hot SUV izoba phezu kwethu.
