я подумал что может комуто будет интересно узнать о недавно проведённом тесте этих 2 авто. и узнать что КЕД утёр нос Аудиле
извеняйте но инфа ток на английском.
Dear all,
German PR sent a translated text from their AutoBild, where pro_cee’d beats Audi A3. Good test, good comparison, excellent result and sales argument!
Kia pro_cee’d won the comparison test against Audi A3.
English translation:
How many Audi is in a Kia?
Kia claim Audi. The dynamic pro_cee’d tease against the established A3. Unify these both more than the designer Peter Schreyer?
Clear, both cars are threedoor compact cars with sportive impact. But they are no twins. Anyhow there are strong connections between the German Premium-Golf and the Korean saving alternative. The A3 is not coming out of Brussel. He is coming from Ingolstadt and you must only 750 km travel east to find Zilina the birthplace of the pro_cee’d. So close can be Korea.
And it is coming much closer. The A3 and the pro_cee’d are coming of the feather of Peter Schreyer. Between 1994 and 2002 Peter Schreyer signed responsible for the Design of the Audi TT, the A3 and others. Since 1. September 2006 he take care for the formlanguage of the Korean-chassis. Under this aspect the question is how many Audi will be in the compact Kia – a new dimension.
Chassis
A3 and pro_cee’d are looking lively, afford enough space
So nice can be the Golf class – A3 and pro_cee’d show as a threedoor a lot of bracing and sporty character of a coupe. The Kia affect a little bit more styled, the Audi more cool and clean. We congratulate Peter Schreyer to both creations. In the interior the impression goes on positive. In the clean built Kia the material feels a little bit easier as in the high valued Audi. But the quality of the Koreans will not bring a headache.
The same applies to the space offer. In spite of the exciting profile the second row of the pro_cee’d is more comfortable than in the A3. the car of Ingolstadt tries to hold against with better formed bolster and a heart for long legs. With success. As a long grown driver my feeling in the Audi A3 is better, place deaper and enjoy the sporty and stylished workingplace. At least the not so extreme peak chassis of the A3 allows a better round view. In the Kia the c-pillars is bothering and the very flat windows bother the back view. In the Kia it is necessary to have a double view back for biker and passengers. For shopping or transportation the Kia hit back. The backseat is completely build down so in extreme situations you can load 130 litre more than in the A3 with the splitted bench. Only good, that both participants will not have any restrictions about payload. The Kia can hauling 470 kg and the Audi 472 kg.
Drive dynamic
On the technic side the A3 will not give a lot chances to the pro_cee’d
Soever the advertising words of Audi are very old but they rip into the black point. You will feel the “Advantage through technic” in the whole car. The 1.4TFSI will be very close to the Kia anyhow the gap ob 18 horespower, runs clear accomplished and developed the power more harmonized. You don’t need more then this 125-Turbo-PS, together with the six-gear-transmission the A3 becomes an absolutely Tipp. For Kia we advise to the 1.6l. the two litre is going a little bit better as the A3, but you don’t feel really the 143 PS. He is getting noisy on the highway without the sixth gear and the stucky gearshift will make the driver angry.
On curve landroads and on the race track the A3 is faster than the pro_cee’d. The ESP regulate more soulful in the Audi, the steering offers more realistic messages – the Audi makes more fun. To this adjustment not only comes the ambitions drivers also the shyly co-driver. The A3 resilient more comfortable and takes transverse splices easier – although he is standing on 17” rim – disagio obligatory as for the pro_cee’d. With the Korean is missing the ductility especially with low speed.
Costs
Against the A3 the pro_cee’d is 3.000 Euro cheaper
How not to be expected the hour of the Kia is by the money. The pro_cee’d 2.0CVVT incl. Sportpackage for 380 Euro costs anyhow 19.630 Euro. Good interior and five years full warranty (for engine also seven years). What is disturbing are the short maintains clearance (all 15.000 km or once a year) and the more bad residual value forecast. In both point the Audi is more customer orientated – the A3 1.4 TFSI Attraction with 17” rim (1335 Euro) costs decent 22 685 Euro. So close are the German premium brand and the Korean pricebreaker however not.
Kia pro_cee’d 1.6: more cheaper
You can buy the pro_cee’d as a 1.6l with 126 PS too. After our tests the better solution:
The smaller engines goes nearly the same, used 0,7 l less and save sustaintail money. In the same EX-Version and the sport package he costs 18 120 Euro, in the naked LX Version is written in the pricelist only 15 430 Euro.
The pro_cee’d 1.6 CVVT EX would get 430 points.
Fazit: the price is the goal for the Kia
The A3 is on the technical side the clear winner and gets points mainly for the drive dynamic disziplines. The comparision will win the Kia pro_cee’d. The Korean offers more space and better equipement.
