Uthanda ungathandi, ama-SUV nama-crossovers kube yiwona obambe iqhaza elikhulu ekubuyiseleni kabusha imakethe yaseYurophu eminyakeni yamuva. Futhi njengasezimotweni ezijwayelekile, singazihlanganisa ezigabeni ezihluke kakhulu, ubukhulu bube yisici esiyinhloko esihlukanisayo (yize singesihle ngaso sonke isikhathi).
Kube yi-SUV encane kanye ne-crossover — ingxenye engu-B noma evame ukubizwa nge-compact SUV/Crossover — okuyizona ezikhule kakhulu ngokweziphakamiso nomthamo wemakethe: ngo-2009, kwathengiswa amayunithi ayizinkulungwane eziyi-125, ngo-2017 lesi sibalo sakhula izikhathi ezingaphezu kwezingu-10, sadlula amayunithi ayizigidi ezingu-1.5. (Izinombolo ze-JATO Dynamics).
Nokho, ukudideka sekuqalile, njengoba esigabeni esifanayo sineziphakamiso ezihluke ngokuphelele, ezingaqhubi neze: ukuthi iCitroën C3 Aircross ihlangene ngani neVolkswagen T-Roc, noma iSEAT Arona eneDacia Duster.
Njengoba ubona, ayikho iresiphi echazwe ngaphambilini, ngisho nesethi yobukhulu obujwayelekile - sineziphakamiso ezisukela ku-4.1 m, njengeRenault Captur, kuya ngaphezu kuka-4.3 m njengeToyota C-HR.
Ukumiswa kwamanye alawa mamodeli, abonakala engangeni kunoma iyiphi ingxenye, kuye kwabusa inqwaba yezingxoxo eziku-inthanethi “nezinkulumo zekhofi” futhi ngisho nabezindaba abasizi ukucacisa.
Mhlawumbe ikesi “elihlaba umxhwele” kakhulu libhekisela ku-Volkswagen T-Roc, ebonakala yomibili ihlanganiswe esigabeni esingu-B (Captur, Stonic, njll) kanye nesegimenti C (Qashqai, 3008, njll), kuye ngokushicilelwa noma umbono. Kodwa-ke kulabo abayibeka ku-Segment B, kulo nyaka kuzovela i-T-Cross, i-crossover ene-Polo base. Ngakho ikuphi i-T-Roc?
I-B-SUV, indawo yokuhlala yemikhiqizo
Lokhu kudideka kokuma namasegimenti akukhawulelwe esigabeni esingu-B, noma ngisho kuma-SUV, kodwa ikulolu hlobo lwesiphakamiso nengxenye (B-SUV) lapho singakubona kangcono lokhu kuguquka ekuhlukaniseni izimakethe.
Ngamanye amazwi, i-B-segment, kwiSUV/Crossover, ihlukaniseke kabili. Ingabe manje siphambi kwengxenye entsha emaphakathi, esingayibiza nge-B+?
Isizathu salokhu kwehlukana okucacayo ngokuya silele empumelelweni yezohwebo yama-B-SUV - ayisizinda semikhiqizo. Ama-SUV/Crossover amancane ngokuvamile atholakala kumamodeli e-B-segment, anezindleko ezifanayo zokukhiqiza, kodwa ngamanani aphezulu, endaweni yama-euro ayizinkulungwane ezimbalwa. Kodwa kusengenzeka ukwenza imali ngale lode ngaphezulu.
Ngalokhu, sizobona amabhrendi abheja amamodeli amabili engxenye efanayo. Ikesi leVolkswagen T-Roc/T-Cross liyisibonelo, kodwa ngeke kube lona lodwa. Sisanda kuqaphela ukuthi i-Jeep ilungiselela ukwethula i-SUV encane kune-Renegade - eyakamuva isondelene ne-C-segment, ishiya isikhala sesiphakamiso esihlangene ngezansi.
Amahemuhemu akhomba kwaRenault bethula isu elifanayo. I-Captur, umholi esigabeni, kufanele ihambisane nemodeli yesibili, ngo-2019. Asikho isiqiniseko sokuthi izoba yi-Grand Captur - umkhiqizo usuvele uthengisa i-Kaptur (yebo, eno-K) kwezinye izimakethe, i-Captur ende. (i-platform ye-Dacia Duster) — noma izoba yi-crossover kagesi, kodwa ibe nobunikazi bayo, njengoba kwenzeka phakathi kuka-Clio no-Zoe.
Inqobo nje uma isidingo se-SUV/Crossover sisekhona, lokhu kuhlakazeka nokuhlukaniswa kwamasegimenti endabuko kufanele kuqhubeke futhi kuqiniswe.
