Semeter Soueast S07 and S09

If you are already confidently distinguishing Jetour from Jaecoo, then here is a new task on this topic. You need to understand where the new SOOEAST brand is in the coordinate system of the Chery coordinate. In the presentation, the word premium is repeatedly found, here is only one “premium” in this large family already – EXEED. But SOUIS, as the name of the brand should read, does not compete with excides. Since it offers much more affordable cars: S07 in the database costs a little more than three million rubles, and S09 – three and a half. At the same time, they are on average 250 thousand more than jeturs X70 Plus and X90, on the basis of which they are made. Premium options, technologies and finishes are promised for this surcharge in saues.

In fact, the reason for choosing (or vice versa) SOOEAST against Jetour can already be only one design. Despite the fact that in silhouettes more or less already familiar jetur are recognized, the design of the front of the novelties is radical. Soueast cars have their own face – however, with the reservation that this face resembles Li Xiang. In the case of the senior model to a slightly lesser extent, because there the luminous strip in the width of the body is supplemented by the grate of the “horseshoe”. Donor jets look clearly more modest, which for some buyers will be even an advantage.

Both seven -seater, but only one is designed for seven

Further from the parallels of Soueast-Jetour I will try to refrain, because for the correct comparison of models of two brands you need to make a separate test. Yes, and is it necessary? Indeed, in addition to Soueast brothers in Chery, there are enough alternatives from brands that are not related to this company. For the S07 model, this is, first of all, Geely Atlas and Haval F7, and for S09 – Geely Monjaro, GAC GS8 and Changan CS95.

Both sauce have a three -core salon, but only S09 has real seven -sevenness. It can quite be used as an alternative to a minivan for a family or a large company. But in the S07, the third row can be useful only with its episodic use. Or for transporting children in a limited period of their growth – when they can already go without a special chair, but not yet critical have a full -size place in the cabin.

In any case, these are not full-fledged “crossovers”: with the decomposed third row, both models are almost completely devoid of the luggage compartment. Because even the large S09 does not reach the canonical five meters as many as 14 centimeters, not to mention the much more compact 07. But which of the two models is it possible if it is not required to fill the salon under the eyeballs?

Motors and transmission for every taste

First, you should carefully look at the price lists. From them it follows that the starting configurations of both sauce are almost completely devoid of meaning. The S07 has the difference between the base and the next execution – symbolic 100 thousand rubles (a little more than 3 percent of the cost). At the same time, the second equipment is already equipped with all -wheel drive – show me a person who will abandon this “option” for such a meager surcharge.

The S09 has a difference between the first and second steps of equipment already 350 thousand. But it includes not only the decoration of genuine leather, Sony acoustics and a pack of assistants, but also a motor 2.0. Judging by the characteristics (there was no such machine on the test drive), the youngest version with 1.6 should be completely leisurely. Its 275 N ∙ m is not bad for a compact like Geely Coolray, but there is not enough for a rather large “nine”. Therefore, in the acceleration figures 0–100 between versions 1.6 and 2.0 (there is 375 N ∙ m) a whole abyss: 11 seconds versus 8.5. In practice, the “nine” is really riding, there is always enough traction.

The S07 model has the same – the same 1.6 turbo, which is installed in the base S09. Moreover, real dynamics (12 seconds are declared in the characteristics, and this is clearly a mistake) did not cause complaints. Swearing than the older model, but not much – after all, S07 and more easily 250 kg. The car rides normally even in the most heavy design, with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. But the front -wheel drive versions of both models are equipped with a robotic box with 7 gear.

“Nine” rides more pleasant

In addition to dynamics, two models differ in smoothness. While the S09 chassis is difficult to remove from equilibrium with any (within reasonable limits) road surface, S07 frankly does not like a comb, patches or other small relief, especially with sharp edges of bumps. Therefore, the older model is definitely better for traveling – you can not worry about the prospect of driving along broken roads at all. The youngest will also cope with such, but comfort will provide noticeably less.

Surprisingly, in terms of handling, a heavier crossover turned out to be more pleasant. On solid coatings, I liked the feedback on the steering wheel and overall contact of the driver with the car more. The serpentine around Ladoga became indicative, on which the S09 involved me with the turns with turns, and S07 with some detachment in reactions to the steering wheel and the pedal nullified the desire to enjoy the winding highway. That is, he showed himself as you expect from a similar machine.

But S09 is slightly superior to these expectations! The same picture on slippery coating: S07 rides clearly and boring, and the S09 allows even a little fuck on a snowy grader with a disconnected (almost completely!) Electronics. The couplings of all -wheel drive, by the way, are different: in the S07 there is a FAPS unit, and in S09 – BorgWarner. The latter works more accurately and clearer for the driver.

At this point, the conclusion suggests itself that the older model is all most interesting than the youngest, being not much more expensive. But this will be a premature conclusion. Most buyers in this segment are not so important than handling or dynamics in comparison with how cool the car looks how comfortable inside and how much it costs. If you discard dubious initial versions, then the difference between the two models will be already significant 700 thousand. And in addition to this, the younger is much more pleasant for the interior.

Is S09 better, how much is more expensive?

While the senior model depicts in the salon the already fed High-Konimity, the youngest offers a more classic, even Sibaritic environment. The feeling of “dear-Bogato” here is created by color upholstery (three shades to choose from), a dark ceiling and a wealth of materials. So, the front panel in the S09 is decorated with a simple waterprint, and the S07 has a brushed texture in this place.

Polished aluminum, piano varnish and designer’s fittings (for example, air ducts or “islands” with buttons of chairs control buttons) also expect to see in a more expensive model, but you find, surprisingly, in the youngest. Both salons look premium, which the brand tends to. But each premium is in its own way: if the S09 is associated with Tesla, Zeekr and Li Xiang, then the S07 recalls Mercedes-Benz and Range Rover.

Because of its techno-minimalism, the “nine” loses the “seven” in terms of ease of use. For example, climate management is largely hidden in a multimedia. On a small panel, under the display, there is only part of the functions and the emergency closed there – everything is sensory. While in the S07 there is a separate sensory-mechanical block a la Range Rover. Lifehack: If you reduce the brightness of the screen to it to the minimum, it will look like a purely analog panel. The tidy is also more successful in S07.

But S09 does not give up in this test without a fight. For example, he meets significantly more convenient front chairs. The seats in the S07 have a short pillow in a Chinese, so on a long road (when you have to sort through the poses) at some point you just flow from them. In the second row in nine is also more convenient – thanks to the large wheeled base, there are so many that you can easily sit on your leg (do not abuse – it is harmful to health).

Finally, in the flagship model, noise insulation is more carefully performed. Although acoustic comfort in the second row is still much worse than on the front seats. But in the S07, even in front I do not want to go without music. Fortunately, Sony acoustics plays with decent quality. Moreover, for some reason, almost better than a similar system with 8 speakers in the flagship S09.

Budget premium or premium mass market?

Given the fact that both of the Sowis is not based on the latest models, the manufacturer managed to make a couple of quite modern crossovers of them. But each of them has its own set of compromises. So, in the “nine”, in my opinion, they overdid it with the visual component: U-shaped backlighting looks like a garland on the Coca-Cola truck, and the salon is less convenient than even a simpler Donor Jetour X90.

In the S07 with design and ergonomics, there is a complete order, but there are questions for riding characteristics. The desire for premium is read in both models – it is clear that the manufacturer tried to modernize and dress basic jetura. Partly succeeded, but this impression cannot be called whole. Now, if it was possible to combine the body and the interior of the “seven” with the power plant and the “nine” chassis, it would turn out right. But even in the form as it is, attention is worth it. /m
