Toyota RAV 4 has always been the benchmark for an urban crossover. The fourth generation of the model is no exception. The car is produced only in a five-door body (“three-doors” have ceased to be produced since the third generation) in Japan, at two factories of the company. Model fourth generation, which appeared on sale in 2013, "matured" and became noticeably larger.
The history of the creation of the fourth generation RAV4
The fourth generation RAV4 was shown to the public at international motor show in Los Angeles at the end of 2013, and already at the beginning of 2013 it began to appear in the showrooms of official dealers in Europe and the USA. The scene for the world premiere was not chosen by chance: the American market is one of the priorities for.
Later, in the same year, two concept cars based on the serial Toyota RAV4 were presented at the international auto show in Geneva.
The first is RAV4 Adventure. The car was painted scarlet, the wheel arches were enlarged, installed with "designer" tires and painted with matte gray paint. plastic body kit, including fender flares and bumper covers.
The second concept is called RAV4 Premium. As the name implies, this is a luxury version of the crossover. The model is painted in dark bronze, has twenty-inch wheels with, plastic inserts in brushed aluminum color in the bumpers and sills, an exhaust output through the bumper, as well as an interior trimmed in gray and black leather.
Technological features and characteristics
RAV4 is positioned as a premium car and the basic equipment leaves no doubt about it. It includes eight, a multimedia system with a six-inch color touch screen, full power accessories and a rear-view camera. There are a total of eight options to choose from. This is a lot for Toyota, which is used to getting by with 1-2 equipment options.
Everything in the cabin is unusual. The architecture takes getting used to, but, in general, everything is convenient and intuitive. The plastic of the upper part of the panel is harsh, but the panels fit perfectly, there are no squeaks at all. The lower "floor" of the panel in expensive trim levels upholstered in leather with contrast stitching. This option creates the feeling of a much more expensive car.
The RAV4 is a very manoeuvrable vehicle. The turning radius is only 10.6 meters. This good indicator even for small sedan. in the fourth generation of the model, it was reduced compared to the previous modification and amounted to 197 mm. At the same time, the electronics that control the all-wheel drive transmission have been improved and the car behaves just as well on the roads as its predecessor.
The suspension is stiff for off-road. Its energy intensity is enough with a margin on broken city roads and primers, but it will not work to get through off-road - the shock absorbers will break through.
The disadvantages of the model include rather weak sound insulation, mediocre sound quality of the audio system and the inability to gain access to the trunk by opening the tailgate glass. The last disadvantage can be compensated by the possibility of ordering an electric tailgate.
The model name is an abbreviation that stands for Recreation Active Vehicle. It can be translated as "a car for outdoor activities." And the number 4 indicates all-wheel drive, which, by the way, is not equipped with all modifications of the car. There are also front wheel drive versions.
The most powerful modification, equipped with a 2.5-liter gasoline engine, all-wheel drive and stepless variator, sold only in Russia and the United States. Such cars are not supplied to Europe. Also, for the first time, RAV4 began to be delivered to Russia, devoid of a spare wheel on the tailgate.
The visible length of the hood has increased by 17 cm, and the A-pillars have become thinner. Such an update will definitely be appreciated by women.
Pros and cons of Rav4 in comparison with classmates
Crossovers are very popular in Russia, so the competition is very serious. It is worth noting that within the class of crossovers that are approximately the same in size and capabilities, there is an “invisible” division by audience. So, the main competitors of the RAV4 can be considered the Honda CR-V, the new generation of which was introduced almost simultaneously with the RAV4, and the completely new Mazda CX-5.
Toyota outperforms Honda in terms of driver and passenger comfort: the RAV4 is more spacious both front and rear. The seats are stiffer, more comfortable and better hold riders in corners. Toyota's CVT is faster and smoother than a Honda automatic, and throttle response is more responsive. Off-road, Toyota also has an advantage thanks to electronic locks, "off-road" bumper geometry and more than Honda ground clearance. But the Toyota rolls in corners more than the Honda.
Toyota outperforms Mazda in terms of interior space, boot size and fuel efficiency. Toyota's interior trim materials are better. The advantage of Mazda can be considered a little more engine power and better acceleration dynamics.
Numbers and awards
The car received five stars out of five possible according to the results of crash tests conducted according to the EuroNCAP methodology.
The new generation Toyota RAV4, as well as its predecessors, is quite often a subject of interest for car thieves, so installing an additional anti-theft system won't be redundant.
The car has recently appeared on the market and it is too early to talk about sales volumes of the fourth generation, but the success of previous generations makes it possible to make favorable forecasts.
Toyota RAV4 has become a "signature model" not only for Japanese manufacturer « Toyota Motor Corporation", but also for the global automotive industry as a whole - this "car for outdoor activities" (this is the meaning of the abbreviation "RAV4") laid the foundation for the class " compact crossovers"... From its inception to this day, this car has firmly held the title of "one of the best-selling SUVs in the world", and this is no accident...
His "glorious serial history"The car started in 1994, making a "real sensation" - because. no one has yet proposed such a technique. True, for the first time, the public met the "progenitor" of the SUV back in 1989, when the RAV Four concept debuted at the Tokyo exhibition ... Further, with each "change of generations" the car became "bigger, more modern and foppish", however, it is still in in many ways "dictates trends" in its class.
The name of this compact SUV- an abbreviation that stands for "Recreation Active Vehicle" ("active recreation vehicle"), and the number "4" symbolizes all-wheel drive.
This model, in fact, is the ancestor of the class of "compact crossovers" - cars that combine the qualities cars and SUVs.
Over 20 years of production, these machines have spread around the world in four generations in the amount of more than 4.5 million copies.
From 1997 to 2003, a fully electric version of the SUV was produced - RAV4EV. The total circulation of the model was only 1484 copies.
As soon as this off-road vehicle appeared on sale in the Russian market, it immediately got into the list of the most stolen cars.
The 2nd generation "RAV4" has an "unlicensed copy" in the face Chinese SUV Chery Tiggo (also known as Vortex Tingo).
"Fourth RAV4" in 2013 failed the crash test with a small overlap according to IIHS standards. Although for other tests he received the Top Safety Pick - the highest award for safety.
The 5th generation crossover was the first car of the brand to receive all-wheel drive transmission Dynamic Torque Vectoring.
The "Fifth RAV4" was the first among the all-wheel drive models of the Toyota brand, which received the TNGA "cart" as the basis.
In early 2015, a presentation was held at the New York Auto Show hybrid version 4th generation of this SUV. "Hybrid" - this is the first time in the history of the model! This car is driven by a gasoline-electric installation, already familiar from the Lexus NX 300h.
The exterior design style of this model in the fourth version caused a lot of controversy (especially in the beginning), but one thing is clear - from generation to generation this SUV is becoming “more technologically advanced and equipped” ... and is also constantly adding in size.
The second attempt to create an electric car with the “EV” nameplate (based on the “third release of the gasoline colleague”) lasted from 2012 to 2014 (during this time the car sold 2425 copies). In the arsenal of this modification is a 154-horsepower electric motor and a set of lithium-ion batteries.
In the third “release”, this SUV lost its “short” (three-door) version and gained an extended version (LWB), which was originally intended for the market. North America, but then came to Russia. In addition, the permanent all-wheel drive was replaced by “auto-connected”.
Peculiarities
fourth generation(2013):
Design features. The fourth-generation RAV4 crossover is built on a new chassis aimed at providing maximum comfort in city driving conditions. At the same time, the car is not afraid of minor off-road due to the improved all-wheel drive system with intelligent control. The chassis (compared to its predecessor) has become even stiffer, but at the same time, the suspension has received softer settings, which made it possible to reduce the return of vibrations to the cabin when driving through bumps. The car is equipped with a completely redesigned steering with a clearer response. At the same time, we note that the crossover retained a tendency to body roll when passing sharp turns or during sharp maneuvering. Brake system received ABS as an assistant with an increased reaction time, which somewhat reduced the reliability of the braking system as a whole.
The weakest points. Among the most frequently breaking components and assemblies of the fourth generation Toyota RAV4, experts include:
- silent blocks of front levers,
- wheel bearings,
- front shock absorbers
- brake pads,
- pump,
- diesel engine injectors
- timing chain tensioner,
- washer jets.
Transmission hum on a car with a CVT. main reason noisy operation of the variator is the wear of the bearings of the cones, which provokes accelerated wear of the variator belt and increases the noise of its operation. To eliminate the defect and reduce the likelihood premature wear belt, worn bearings must be replaced.
Periodic jerks when driving a car with a CVT. As a rule, this behavior of the car is provoked by the periodic “wedging” of the oil pump pressure reducing valve, caused by the ingress of wear products (metal chips) of the variator belt. To eliminate the defect, it is necessary to replace the belt and grind the surfaces of the pulleys, microburrs on the surface of which provoke belt wear.
Increased engine noise or rattling sounds in the timing area. Such problems are most often caused by stretching the timing chain, as well as wear of its tensioner. To eliminate the defect, it is necessary to replace the chain and tensioner. Replacing these timing components individually is not recommended.
A rumble in the rear differential when all-wheel drive is turned on. A hum when turning on or operating the 4WD system, as a rule, indicates wear on the viscous coupling bearing. When this symptom appears, experts recommend that it be replaced immediately, otherwise, during further operation, the viscous coupling itself may fail and the bearing seats in the differential housing may wear out.
The oven is not working well. If the stove blows cold air, then you should check the level of antifreeze. If antifreeze is within normal limits, then possible reason- clogged heater core. In this case, it will need to be flushed.
The interior of the car warms up slowly. The main reason for slow warm-up is clogged cabin filter, which prevents the required amount of air from entering the heater. To fix the problem, you need to replace the cabin filter. In addition, experts recommend checking the level of contamination of the outer surface of the stove radiator.
third generation(2005-2012):
Design features. The 3rd generation crossover, unlike the 2nd, is built on a more "urban" chassis with a rigid suspension. The car is well controlled due to the steering with a clear response, excellent road holding, endowed with excellent directional stability, but at the same time it has acquired a tendency to excessive rolls during sharp maneuvers. The third generation RAV4 chassis (compared to its predecessors) is supplemented with a wider list electronic assistants, which made it easier to drive a car and improve driving safety. Main design flaw- Poor sound insulation.
The weakest points. Among the most frequently broken nodes and Toyota units RAV4 3rd generation experts include:
- bushings and stabilizer bars,
- wheel bearings,
- front shock absorbers
- brake pads,
- steering rack,
- implement belt,
- pump.
We also note that this crossover has a “weak” viscous coupling of the all-wheel drive system, which quickly overheats at high loads (off-road) and shuts down in an emergency.
Increased engine noise, periodic rattling in the timing area. These symptoms indicate stretching of the timing chain and wear of its tensioner. To fix the problem, you will need to replace the chain and tensioner.
A rumble from under the car. The appearance of a distinct hum indicates the beginning of wear on the viscous coupling of the all-wheel drive system. There are two reasons for wear: untimely replacement oils and/or excessive off-road loads. At the first symptoms of a hum, it is recommended to immediately change the oil in the rear differential. Ignoring the problem will result in a failure of the unit, which will make it impossible to turn on the all-wheel drive.
Knocks in the steering when driving even minor bumps. This symptom indicates critical wear of the steering rack components. In this case, experts recommend replacing the rail assembly, while some owners limit themselves to repairs, which only slightly extends the life of the rail.
The rear brake lights stopped working. Usually, this problem occurs due to a blown switch installed under the brake pedal. At the same time, before replacing the switch, experts recommend checking the contacts in the lamps themselves - due to exposure to moisture, they often oxidize.
The tailgate was hard to close. The main reason is the sagging of the door hinges due to the impact of the spare wheel suspended on it. To eliminate the defect, it is necessary to adjust the door hinges. If this procedure does not help, then the worn hinges will need to be replaced.
Knocks and creaks in the cabin. A common problem for the third generation Toyota RAV4, caused by the use of hard plastic in the trim. For elimination extraneous sounds all removable trim elements will need to be glued with noise-absorbing materials.
Tailgate creaking when going over bumps. This sound is not considered a defect, but is design feature load-bearing body of the car, which may slightly warp at the time of overcoming obstacles. To reduce the level of squeaking, it is recommended to treat the door seal and hinges with silicone grease.
Second generation(2000-2005):
Design features. Toyota crossover The second generation RAV4 received a slightly longer wheelbase than its predecessor, which improved the vehicle's stability by high speeds and during sharp maneuvers. The redesigned chassis retained all the advantages of the first generation, but at the same time the crossover got more durable brakes. Along with the advantages, the main drawback has also been preserved - the poor quality of sound insulation.
The weakest points. The list of the most frequently breaking second-generation RAV4 components and assemblies includes:
- pump,
- diesel engine injectors
- timing chain tensioner,
- bushings and stabilizer bars,
- cardan crosses (on 4WD versions).
Also, be careful when choosing engine oil- all engines of second-generation machines are very demanding on its quality.
Engine thrust drops + fuel consumption increases. These symptoms indicate incorrect operation of the variable valve timing system. The main reason is damage to the VVT valve or clutch. To fix the problem, you need to replace the failed system components.
Decreased idle speed. This symptom indicates a clogged throttle valve. To fix the problem, it is necessary to remove the throttle assembly and clean it. Additionally, it is recommended to check the performance of the idle valve.
The starter works "once". Problems with the operation of the starter, as a rule, are caused by the burning of the contacts of the retractor relay. To eliminate the defect, it is necessary to replace the burnt contacts.
The rumble from the bottom of the car when driving in full drive. The main reason for the appearance of extraneous sounds is wear and tear. outboard bearing cardan shaft and the appearance of play in its crosses. To fix the problem, it will be necessary to replace the bearing, as well as check the integrity of the crosses and replace them if signs of wear appear.
Jolts when shifting to 3rd gear automatic transmission or reverse gear. This symptom indicates the incorrect operation of the computer unit due to the burnout of individual microcircuits. To restore the efficiency of the computer, it is necessary to replace the burned-out microcircuits. If it burns out again, the ECU assembly will need to be replaced.
The power window has stopped working or the door lock has stopped working. The main reason is the breaking of wires in the door wiring harness, hidden in a protective corrugation.
First generation(1994-2000):
Design features. The first incarnation of this model has good geometric cross-country ability, but the car is more focused on city driving. The car received a medium-hard suspension, well-balanced steering and good directional stability. The braking system here is quite reliable, but with intensive use brake discs prone to overheating. The main drawback is frankly poor sound insulation.
The weakest points. In the list of the most frequently breaking components and assemblies of the first generation RAV4, experts include:
- pump,
- crankshaft seals,
- throttle valve,
- top steering rack seal
- basket and clutch disc,
- front suspension bushings,
- stabilizer bushings
- fuel tank neck.
Swimming engine speed. The most common "childhood disease" of the first generation Toyota RAV4. The problem occurs when the throttle valve sticks, provoked by the formation of soot due to the peculiarities of the operation of the exhaust gas recirculation system used on the engine. To eliminate the defect, it is recommended to carry out a chemical decarbonization of the intake manifold system.
This section contains reviews (with photos) of cars of the Toyota RAV4 family and reviews of their owners. The technical characteristics of these machines are indicated (dimensions and capacity, ground clearance, engines and transmissions, dynamics and maximum speed, fuel consumption, etc.). As well as the configuration and prices for the new RAV4 (for modifications officially presented in the dealerships of the Toyota brand on the Russian market).
In 1994 began mass production Toyota car The RAV4 was one of the first representatives of the emerging class of compact crossovers - vehicles that combine the best qualities of cars and SUVs. The car was created on the platform "" and at first it was offered only with a three-door body. In 1995, an elongated five-door version debuted, and after restyling in 1998, a short-wheelbase modification with a removable soft top over the back.
The Toyota RAV4 was equipped with two-liter gasoline engines. The version for the European and American market had a power of 120–129 hp. s., a power unit on machines for Japan developed from 135 to 180 forces. Gearboxes - mechanical or automatic. IN America Toyota RAV4 was offered not only with all-wheel drive, but also with front-wheel drive. In 1997, small-scale production of an electric version of the car was launched.
2nd generation (XA20), 2000–2005
The second generation car, introduced in 2000, became larger and more solid than its predecessor. The Toyota RAV4 had versions with three and five doors, and under the hood were 1.8 (125 hp) or 2.0 (150–155 hp) gasoline engines. The drive could be front or full. Especially for the European market, since 2001, a "rafik" with two-liter turbodiesel with a capacity of 115 liters. With.
In 2003, a slight restyling of the model was carried out. At the same time, the range of power units was replenished with a 2.4-liter engine developing 161 hp. With.
3rd generation (XA30), 2005–2012
The third-generation crossover has become even larger, lost the three-door version, got new transmission with multi-plate clutch in the drive rear wheels. In some markets, a long-wheelbase seven-seat modification of the car was offered (in Japan it was sold as a separate Toyota model Vanguard).
The range of power units consisted of gasoline engines 2.0 (152 hp), 2.4 (170 hp), as well as a 3.5-liter “six” with a capacity of 273 hp. With. Turbodiesels had a volume of 2.0 and 2.2 liters and developed 116-177 liters. With. Machines were fitted with mechanical or automatic boxes gears, and the Japanese versions were equipped with CVTs. All-wheel drive and front-wheel drive Toyotas with gasoline engines of 2.0 and 2.4 liters were supplied to Russia.
After restyling in 2008, the crossover received a slightly modified appearance; in the US market, instead of a 2.4-liter engine, they began to offer a 2.5-liter engine with 181 hp. With. At the same time, a two-liter power unit was modernized: it had a system for changing the valve timing, and the return increased to 158 forces. The "Russian" Toyota RAV4 remained with the same set of engines, but we began to offer a long-wheelbase version.
Another restyling in 2010 more noticeably changed appearance cars. At the same time, deliveries to the Russian market of versions with a modernized 2.0 engine (158 hp) began, instead of a four-speed "automatic", customers were offered a variator, and instead of a five-speed "mechanics" - a six-speed one.

Second generation (CA20W)
The second generation RAV4 was produced from 2000 to 2005. Both three-door and five-door versions of the car have survived. By analogy with the first generation RAV4, cars were produced with front-wheel drive (mainly for the US and Japan markets) and permanent all-wheel drive. The car was equipped with 1.8l 1ZZ-FE (123 hp) gasoline engines (front-wheel drive vehicles), 2.0l 1AZ-FE, 1AZ-FSE (150 hp), 2.4l 2AZ-FE, 2AZ -FSE (161 hp), as well as a 2l diesel engine D4-D (116 hp).
Models of 2001-2003 produced for the American market are known for a large number of complaints about automatic transmission, the main cause of the problems of which is a malfunction of the electronic control unit. The fault lies in strong shocks when shifting gears. The problem is solved by timely soldering or replacing the microcircuit with its subsequent "training". Untimely diagnosis and repair of the automatic transmission control unit can lead to self-destruction of the transmission due to strong impacts caused by a malfunction of the unit. Because of this problem, Toyota announced a recall campaign and extended warranties for 2001-2003 vehicles. up to 10 years.
Third generation (CA30W)
In Japan, the third generation RAV4 went on sale in November 2005. In the US and Canada in December 2005. RAV4 third generation lost three-door version. There have been changes in the all-wheel drive scheme - it has ceased to be permanent all-wheel drive. For the US market, an elongated version of the body is available, there is also a modification with a 6-cylinder engine with a displacement of 3.5 liters. In 2010, the presentation of the updated RAV4 took place.
2010 update
RAV4 entered 2010 with a modified head and rear optics, and the grille has become integrated into the front bumper. Additional control keys appeared on the steering wheel of the crossover, a linear audio input was included in the basic package multimedia system. The range of powertrains and transmissions have not changed.
Since 2010, a version with a long (2660 mm) wheelbase has been added - the Toyota RAV4 III LWB. The length of the car is 4625 mm. Due to the increase in the distance between the axles, the volume of the trunk has increased, and the space between the front and rear rows of seats in the updated version of the RAV4 is 865 mm (in the basic version - 800 mm).
2011 model year in Russia
IN Russian Toyota RAV4 2011 model year, presented at the Geneva Motor Show in the spring of 2010, began to be officially sold on June 1, 2010. In fact, the new RAV4 is a modernized crossover 2005 model year. The changes affected the appearance, trim levels, one of the two engines available in Russia and the range of gearboxes.
The 2.0-litre 3ZR-FAE engine, available on the short wheelbase RAV4 and equipped with Dual-VVT-i and Valvematic, is now 6 hp more powerful. (max. power is 158 hp at 4400 rpm). For this version of the crossover, the set of gearboxes has completely changed - a 6-speed manual transmission and a Multidrive S variator with manual mode shifting in 7 preset gears. Toyota RAV4 LWB 2011 is available with a 2.4L engine (180 hp) mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission.
Externally, the RAV4 has also changed since the 2010 model year: the car received a different hood, grille and front bumper, and the design was also changed. rims. The front of the crossover is now somewhat reminiscent of the popular Camry. The restyling of the exterior did not affect the long-wheelbase version (in Japan, the RAV4 LWB with a new look is available as the Toyota Vanguard).
In October 2011, the amount of horsepower in the 3ZR-FAE engine was changed from 158 hp. 148 hp to save on transport tax on the territory of the Russian Federation.

fourth generation
The fourth generation RAV4 premiered at the Los Angeles Motor Show at the end of November 2012. According to preliminary information, the crossover will noticeably increase in size compared to its predecessor. Sales of new items should start in early 2013. base engine there is still a 2-liter gasoline engine that produces 150 hp. with., which is aggregated with a six-speed "mechanics" or a variator. But instead of a 2.4 liter engine (170 hp), a 2.5 liter power unit will now be offered, which produces 180 hp, which is paired only with an “automatic” (the same is installed on the Camry sedan ). Two turbodiesels are also offered: 2.0 L with 124 hp. and 2.2 liters with a capacity of 150 hp. .
New in the exterior of the model - removed from the fifth door spare wheel, which migrated to the trunk (and ceased to be full-sized). According to information distributed by Toyota dealers, cars assembled at a plant in Japan are sold in the CIS. However Toyota has production facilities in China, where even the production of engines for this model is organized. While in China itself this car is not particularly popular. Annual sales in China are around 10 thousand pieces. (Sales Chinese clone- Chery Tiggo - about 70 thousand per year). The capacity of FAW-Toyota, where the RAV4 is assembled, is up to 135,000 units per year.

An excerpt characterizing the Toyota RAV4
“And yet, since the prince is unwell, my advice is for them to go to Moscow. I'm on my own now. Report ... - But the governor did not finish: a dusty and sweaty officer ran in the door and began to say something in French. Horror appeared on the Governor's face.“Go,” he said, nodding his head to Alpatych, and began to ask the officer something. Greedy, frightened, helpless looks turned to Alpatych when he left the governor's office. Involuntarily listening now to the close and ever-increasing shots, Alpatych hurried to the inn. The paper given by Governor Alpatych was as follows:
“I assure you that the city of Smolensk does not yet face the slightest danger, and it is unbelievable that it would be threatened by it. I am on one side, and Prince Bagration on the other side, we are going to unite in front of Smolensk, which will take place on the 22nd, and both armies with combined forces will defend their compatriots in the province entrusted to you, until their efforts remove the enemies of the fatherland from them or until they are exterminated in their brave ranks to the last warrior. You see from this that you have the perfect right to reassure the inhabitants of Smolensk, for whoever defends with two such brave troops can be sure of their victory. (Order of Barclay de Tolly to the civil governor of Smolensk, Baron Ash, 1812.)
People moved restlessly through the streets.
Carts loaded on horseback with household utensils, chairs, cabinets kept leaving the gates of the houses and driving through the streets. In the neighboring house of Ferapontov, wagons stood and, saying goodbye, the women howled and sentenced. The mongrel dog, barking, twirled in front of the pawned horses.
Alpatych, with a more hasty step than he usually walked, entered the yard and went straight under the shed to his horses and wagon. The coachman was asleep; he woke him up, ordered him to lay the bed, and went into the passage. In the master's room one could hear a child's cry, the woman's shattering sobs, and Ferapontov's angry, hoarse cry. The cook, like a frightened chicken, fluttered in the passage as soon as Alpatych entered.
- Killed him to death - he beat the mistress! .. So he beat, so dragged! ..
- For what? Alpatych asked.
- I asked to go. It's a woman's business! Take me away, he says, do not destroy me with small children; the people, they say, all left, what, they say, are we? How to start beating. So beat, so dragged!
Alpatych, as it were, nodded approvingly at these words and, not wanting to know anything else, went to the opposite door - the master's room, in which his purchases remained.
“You are a villain, a destroyer,” a thin, pale woman with a child in her arms and a handkerchief torn from her head shouted at that moment, bursting out of the door and running down the stairs to the courtyard. Ferapontov went out after her and, seeing Alpatych, straightened his waistcoat and hair, yawned and went into the room after Alpatych.
- Do you want to go? - he asked.
Without answering the question and not looking back at the owner, sorting through his purchases, Alpatych asked how long the owner followed the wait.
- Let's count! Well, did the governor have one? Ferapontov asked. - What was the decision?
Alpatych replied that the governor did not say anything decisively to him.
- Shall we go away on our business? Ferapontov said. - Give me seven rubles for a cart to Dorogobuzh. And I say: there is no cross on them! - he said.
- Selivanov, he pleased on Thursday, sold flour to the army at nine rubles per bag. So, are you going to drink tea? he added. While the horses were being laid, Alpatych and Ferapontov drank tea and talked about the price of bread, about the harvest and the favorable weather for harvesting.
“However, it began to calm down,” Ferapontov said, having drunk three cups of tea and getting up, “ours must have taken it.” They said they won't let me. So, strength ... And a mixture, they said, Matvey Ivanovich Platov drove them into the Marina River, drowned eighteen thousand, or something, in one day.
Alpatych collected his purchases, handed them over to the coachman who entered, and paid off with the owner. At the gate sounded the sound of wheels, hooves and bells of a wagon leaving.
It was already well past noon; half of the street was in shade, the other was brightly lit by the sun. Alpatych looked out the window and went to the door. Suddenly, a strange sound of distant whistling and impact was heard, and after that there was a merging rumble of cannon fire, from which the windows trembled.
Alpatych went out into the street; two people ran down the street to the bridge. WITH different parties whistles, cannonballs and the bursting of grenades falling in the city were heard. But these sounds were almost inaudible and did not pay the attention of the inhabitants in comparison with the sounds of firing heard outside the city. It was a bombardment, which at the fifth hour Napoleon ordered to open the city, from one hundred and thirty guns. At first, the people did not understand the significance of this bombardment.
The sounds of falling grenades and cannonballs aroused at first only curiosity. Ferapontov's wife, who had not stopped howling under the barn before, fell silent and, with the child in her arms, went out to the gate, silently looking at the people and listening to the sounds.
The cook and the shopkeeper came out to the gate. All with cheerful curiosity tried to see the shells flying over their heads. Several people came out from around the corner, talking animatedly.
- That's power! one said. - And the roof and ceiling were so smashed to pieces.
“It blew up the earth like a pig,” said another. - That's so important, that's so cheered up! he said laughing. - Thank you, jumped back, otherwise she would have smeared you.
The people turned to these people. They paused and told how, near by, their cores had got into the house. Meanwhile, other shells, sometimes with a quick, gloomy whistle - cannonballs, then with a pleasant whistle - grenades, did not stop flying over the heads of the people; but not a single shell fell close, everything endured. Alpatych got into the wagon. The owner was at the gate.
- What did not see! he shouted at the cook, who, with her sleeves rolled up, in a red skirt, swaying with her bare elbows, went to the corner to listen to what was being said.
“What a miracle,” she said, but, hearing the voice of the owner, she returned, tugging at her tucked-up skirt.
Again, but very close this time, something whistled like a bird flying from top to bottom, a fire flashed in the middle of the street, something shot and covered the street with smoke.
"Villain, why are you doing this?" shouted the host, running up to the cook.
At the same instant, women wailed plaintively from different directions, a child began to cry in fright, and people silently crowded around the cook with pale faces. From this crowd, the groans and sentences of the cook were heard most audibly:
- Oh, oh, my darlings! My doves are white! Don't let die! My doves are white! ..
Five minutes later there was no one left on the street. The cook, with her thigh shattered by a grenade fragment, was carried into the kitchen. Alpatych, his coachman, Ferapontov's wife with children, the janitor were sitting in the basement, listening. The rumble of guns, the whistle of shells, and the pitiful groan of the cook, which prevailed over all sounds, did not stop for a moment. The hostess now rocked and persuaded the child, then in a pitiful whisper asked everyone who entered the basement where her master was, who remained on the street. The shopkeeper, who entered the basement, told her that the owner had gone with the people to the cathedral, where they were raising the miraculous Smolensk icon.
By dusk, the cannonade began to subside. Alpatych came out of the basement and stopped at the door. Before a clear evening, the sky was all covered with smoke. And through this smoke a young, high-standing sickle of the moon shone strangely. After the former terrible rumble of guns had fallen silent over the city, silence seemed to be interrupted only by the rustle of steps, groans, distant screams and the crackle of fires, as it were spread throughout the city. The groans of the cook are now quiet. From both sides, black clouds of smoke from fires rose and dispersed. On the street, not in rows, but like ants from a ruined tussock, in different uniforms and in different directions, soldiers passed and ran through. In the eyes of Alpatych, several of them ran into Ferapontov's yard. Alpatych went to the gate. Some regiment, crowding and hurrying, blocked the street, going back.
“The city is being surrendered, leave, leave,” the officer who noticed his figure said to him and immediately turned to the soldiers with a cry:
- I'll let you run around the yards! he shouted.
Alpatych returned to the hut and, calling the coachman, ordered him to leave. Following Alpatych and the coachman, all Ferapontov's household went out. Seeing the smoke and even the lights of the fires, which were now visible in the beginning twilight, the women, who had been silent until then, suddenly began to wail, looking at the fires. As if echoing them, the same weeping was heard at the other ends of the street. Alpatych with a coachman, with trembling hands, straightened the tangled reins and horses' lines under a canopy.
When Alpatych was leaving the gate, he saw ten soldiers in the open shop of Ferapontov pouring sacks and knapsacks with wheat flour and sunflowers with a loud voice. At the same time, returning from the street to the shop, Ferapontov entered. Seeing the soldiers, he wanted to shout something, but suddenly stopped and, clutching his hair, burst out laughing with sobbing laughter.
- Get it all, guys! Don't get the devils! he shouted, grabbing the sacks himself and throwing them out into the street. Some soldiers, frightened, ran out, some continued to pour. Seeing Alpatych, Ferapontov turned to him.
- Decided! Russia! he shouted. - Alpatych! decided! I'll burn it myself. I made up my mind ... - Ferapontov ran into the yard.
Soldiers were constantly walking along the street, filling it all up, so that Alpatych could not pass and had to wait. The hostess Ferapontova was also sitting on the cart with the children, waiting to be able to leave.
It was already quite night. There were stars in the sky and a young moon shone from time to time, shrouded in smoke. On the descent to the Dnieper, the carts of Alpatych and the hostess, slowly moving in the ranks of soldiers and other crews, had to stop. Not far from the crossroads where the carts stopped, in an alley, a house and shops were on fire. The fire has already burned out. The flame either died away and was lost in black smoke, then it suddenly flashed brightly, strangely clearly illuminating the faces of the crowded people standing at the crossroads. In front of the fire, black figures of people flashed by, and from behind the incessant crackle of the fire, voices and screams were heard. Alpatych, who got down from the wagon, seeing that they would not let his wagon through soon, turned to the alley to look at the fire. The soldiers darted incessantly back and forth past the fire, and Alpatych saw how two soldiers and with them a man in a frieze overcoat dragged burning logs from the fire across the street to the neighboring yard; others carried armfuls of hay.
Alpatych approached a large crowd of people standing in front of a high barn burning with full fire. The walls were all on fire, the back collapsed, the boarded roof collapsed, the beams were on fire. Obviously, the crowd was waiting for the moment when the roof would collapse. Alpatych expected the same.
- Alpatych! Suddenly a familiar voice called out to the old man.
“Father, your excellency,” answered Alpatych, instantly recognizing the voice of his young prince.
Prince Andrei, in a raincoat, riding a black horse, stood behind the crowd and looked at Alpatych.
– How are you here? - he asked.
- Your ... your Excellency, - Alpatych said and sobbed ... - Yours, yours ... or have we already disappeared? Father…
– How are you here? repeated Prince Andrew.
The flame flared brightly at that moment and illuminated Alpatych's pale and exhausted face of his young master. Alpatych told how he was sent and how he could have left by force.
“Well, Your Excellency, or are we lost?” he asked again.
Prince Andrei, without answering, took out a notebook and, raising his knee, began to write with a pencil on a torn sheet. He wrote to his sister:
“Smolensk is being surrendered,” he wrote, “the Bald Mountains will be occupied by the enemy in a week. Leave now for Moscow. Answer me as soon as you leave, sending a courier to Usvyazh.
Having written and handed over the sheet to Alpatych, he verbally told him how to arrange the departure of the prince, princess and son with the teacher and how and where to answer him immediately. He had not yet had time to complete these orders, when the chief of staff on horseback, accompanied by his retinue, galloped up to him.
- Are you a colonel? shouted the chief of staff, with a German accent, in a voice familiar to Prince Andrei. - Houses are lit in your presence, and you are standing? What does this mean? You will answer, - shouted Berg, who was now assistant chief of staff of the left flank of the infantry troops of the first army, - the place is very pleasant and in sight, as Berg said.
