All motorists know that every modern car available in different models that differ in price and equipment. But not everyone understands the difference between "equipment" and "option", and even compiled specification of the car. This will be discussed in this article.
So, let's deal with the concepts. Equipment – a particular set of equipment mounted on the vehicle. It can also be called a version or a modification. Each new model they are usually 3 or 4.
The Simplest version of the car called the basic configuration. It contains the least amount of equipment and is cheaper. This is the minimum that you can invest in a model that it remained in its class. The most expensive package is called the top or rich. It sets the maximum set of equipment for a particular model. As practice shows, are more likely to buy the average specification of the car. It should be noted that each manufacturer's version of the car called differently. Choose the basic, medium or top can be based on the price and quantity of equipment.
This is the equipment that can be installed on the machine separately. Options include the device not included in a particular vehicle. Their installation can be arranged for an additional charge.
For example, typically, the options offer air conditioning, fog lights, active safety systems, multimedia devices, etc. It should be understood that additional equipment can only be installed on certain equipment. For example, cruise control and fog lamps, are generally considered an option for the base, but are by default medium version of the car. Another example: the ABS system is usually put in the middle or on top included, and for the base it is not even the driver. Thus, it is understood that some additional hardware may strictly correspond to a particular version of the machine. Type of motor usually also rigidly connected to the bundle. In top versions are always the most powerful engines that are unavailable in the base.

Options may be factory or salon. The first is all the additional equipment that is installed in you car at the facilities of the manufacturer. As a rule, the quality of these options is fully consistent with the quality of the machine.
Options salon – optional devices that are installed in the dealer showroom. This typically includes: Parking sensors, alarm system, music system and other electronics. How well these options will work depends on the professionalism of the installer. Often in the dealer showroom all electronics is engaged in one and the same person who is familiar with only 1-2 alarms and a couple of radios. Thus, the choice of options is scarce, and the quality of their installation is much lower than the factory Assembly. If you have the opportunity to choose between cabin or factory options, it is better to lean toward the second.
Now let us examine the common equipment, which may include equipment of new cars.
Tim motor directly depends on the type of fuel used. Engines are petrol and diesel. Currently diesel fuel is cheaper than gasoline. In addition, the machine on such more favorable fuel from an environmental point of view. So many manufacturers, creating a new model, try to make and gasoline, and diesel options. Cars, diesel-fueled vehicles are more expensive.
The volume of the motor affects its power. Generally, the larger the volume, the faster the car picks up speed and the faster and behaves on the road. Important is the fact that cars with great volume of the motor consume a lot of fuel, so drive them more. And in some countries charge a vehicle tax, which also depends on the capacity of the power unit.
In addition to petrol and diesel, there are other types of motors, which, unfortunately, are less common in our latitudes. These motors and hybrids. The first work entirely on electricity, and the second – combine a classic look fuel with electricity. And gasoline engine can run on gas (which is significantly cheaper than gasoline), but in the factories of these cars are not released. Gas equipment is placed in a special HUNDRED.
To date, the most common two types of transmissions: manual and automatic. Most of the budget cars are equipped with a manual transmission. This car requires the driver more action when driving, namely in constant contact with the clutch pedal and gearshift lever. Manual transmission is usually put on the basic package of the car.
Considered to be a More comfortable car with automatic transmission or variator. They are more expensive. Here the driver does not need to control the gearshift lever and press the clutch. The machine does everything on their own. The only thing you need to do the driver – to specifydirection. Typically, a mechanical box is chosen by those who save, or those who like to feel the car. Automatic transmissions are preferred by adherents of comfort.
Various models of vehicles may include a different number of the equipment to ensure passive and active safety. Consider the options in ascending order starting with the cheapest and easiest.
Belts
These simple elements are usually installed in modern cars by default. It is very important that all passenger seats had three point belts. Nice options is the ability to adjust the strap height and attachment for a child seat.
Airbags
This option will cost more than the straps, but it is very important. The more the machine airbags, the better!
Typically, the car set the following airbags:
Approximately in that order, the machine is equipped with airbags increase in its price. That is, in the basic version is only the front airbag for the driver, and optionally the same for the passenger. In the middle of a complete set of these pillows and add more front-side and so on. In addition to these kits, some manufacturers come up with their own types. For example, a cushion to protect the knees of the driver. We note again that the more pillows the better!
Electronic security systems
This type of options is even more expensive. It includes such systems as: anti -, exchange rate stabilization, emergency braking and others. Here is how the famous last paragraph of the rule – “bigger is better”. Security is not worth saving!
The package also affects the appearance of the car. First of all we are talking about the color of the car. As a rule, a particular model has a few basic colors and a few optional. If the car is not painted in a certain color at the factory, personally for you, this will not do. So if you want the atypical color (e.g. pink), then you need to either look for models that are sold in this color, or repaint it after purchase, which is quite expensive.
The Basic configuration of the car is usually “put” on the smallest of the valid - stamped discs. With rising prices there is a possibility to buy a car on the cast, larger drives.
Optionally it also installs the crankcase, moldings and other elements.
Perhaps the most extensive option package is an electrical equipment.
Lights
As options for the car can go fog lights and running lights. Another addition that can be purchased for a fee, – automatic switching on dipped beam at the motor. Depending on configuration, the machine can be equipped with different types of light bulbs. On expensive versions are xenon headlights, which give the strong light output.
Audio
Depending on the version of the car, it can be installed:
Heated seats and mirrors
There's not much to say. The more expensive the package, the more seats it is heated. As for glass, the base is typically considered heated rear glass, and optional – forward. In addition, you can also install heated mirrors.
Power steering
Installs, usually starting with the middle rear of the vehicle. Is with different types of drive.
Air-conditioning or climate control
The Difference between the systems is that the air conditioning only cools the air, and the climate control maintains the temperature at a certain level. Both are typically applied in cold seasons. Climate control is more expensive. It can also be dual-zone, allowing you to set different temperatures for front and rear passengers. This option is worth even more.
There are many additional options to make the interior more useful. Among them are: niches, drawers, grids and shelves for the Luggage compartment, and so on. Another important point – the adjusting elements of the interior. The driver's seat and steering wheel can be adjusted in different planes. And the backs of the rear row can fold in different proportions. In General, the more expensive the car, the more opportunities from its owner.
When buying a car on the secondary market, the driver needs to check how the words of the formerthe owner comply with the technical specifications of the machine. The question arises: how to check the vehicle? To do this, each car has a special "VIN", which can be found on non-removable parts of the body. Replacement or falsification is impossible. On a VIN-code it is possible to learn the picking, the characteristics of the car, mileage, and accidents, and much more.
To Analyze "VIN" in three ways: manually, using Internet services or through special applications for smartphones.
The hardest of the car at the “VIN-code” is defined manually. To do this, first gather background data from a particular manufacturer and have them translated into Russian language. The process is complicated by the fact that the total transcripts for all brands of cars. Through the Internet, or the application code of the vehicle stands for a lot faster. You only need to enter the number in a special string and wait for the result. The drawback of this method is that it does not always produce correct data. If you test the code in several ways, you will learn what cars have the real equipment. “Guilty” of car can oppose only the words of the former owner. It all depends on how much you trust him.
