Tagaz Akvella Specifications. Tagaz Aquila - Revelation of the Russian Auto industry. Affordable Russian sports car

Most recently, a new model of the car appeared on the domestic automotive market, which is still long before its official presentation caused a rapid discussion as among professional motorists and ordinary fans of Iron horses. We are talking, of course, about the sedan Aquila from the Taganrog Automobile Plant. This car does not have any outstanding technical characteristics - its main advantage is in an unusual, as for domestic auto industry, unique design. Aquila's TagAZ review will answer the question, thanks to which this car has gained so high popularity.

History of creation

When the Taganrog Automotive Plant announced the creation of a fundamentally new car, which would not have analogues among domestic models, many of the doubts arose for this account. Very often promise to construct something that it would be a completely new page in the history of our automotive industry, but in fact everything turns out quite differently - the number of cars that frankly disappointed, exceed all the permissible norms.

However, Taganrog developers approached the implementation of their idea as responsibly as possible. The first pictures of the future car Tagaz Aquila, who leaked into the worldwide network, caused cultural shock from most users. It was possible to expect everything, but so futuristic and hardly. The appearance of the domestic car Tagaz Akvella seemed so unreal that many even decided that it was just a kind of trick of the plant, designed to attract attention.

According to official data, the development of the car was carried out by the subsidiary of Tagaz - Tagaz Korea, based in Seoul. There are rumors that the Chinese specialists also put the hand to the miracle of the Russian car industry.

Appearance - Basic Raisin Model

Body

It is quite logical that the manufacturer decided to bet primarily on the design of the car, and not on its technical characteristics that we will tell later. The appearance of the car Tagaz Aquila is really impressive - more rapid and aggressive body performed domestic producers It was difficult to even imagine. It is worth noting that in the designer solutions Tagaz Aquila, the predatory lines and sharpness of forms are clearly traced. In general, despite the risky combination of various styles, the car looks quite harmonious and not too caller.

As for the assembly of the sedan, the plant designers tried to fame. Traditional for Russian lights of Ogrekhov, in the form of loosely impressed parts or poor-quality, provoking the appearance of not provided by the technical plan of gaps, could not be found in TagAZ Aquila. With a closer examination, you can see small disadvantages in the treatment of individual elements, however, they in no way affect the overall aesthetic and functional component of the car.

Detailed video review car TagAZ Aquila:

In the construction of the body, another Western technology has found its use - mass use of plastic as body parts. Thanks to this solution, the installation and dismantling process is significantly accelerated during the repair or planned inspection of the car. Unlike its foreign colleagues, in Taganrog TagAZ Aquila, a cheap analogue of carbon fiber - fiberglass and conventional plastic with decorative coating is used. The bolts, special clamps and latches, as well as powerful glue are fastened.

Salon

The inner decoration of the car is also enough high level. First of all, spectacular leather seats created in a sporty style are thrown into the eyes. A good tactical course of designers - the color of the car's seats coincides with the color body, which adds a sedan integrity. The quality of materials used to finish the inside of TagAZ Aquila does not cause complaints. Free space in the car is full, especially on the rear seats. Overall, the car looks cozy.

A little disappointing dashboard - From a sedan with such a chic and fantastic appearance, it was worth expecting a more distinct designer solution, but in fact everything came out quite the opposite. However, informativeness and what is important, the dares clearness are on good levelthat significantly simplifies the process of managing the machine. Ergonomics, minimalism, spaciousness, purposefulness - It is these words that can be characterized by a new car salon from the Taganrog plant.

Nevertheless, minuses are also present, and as for modern car too many of them. The main disadvantage of the Salon TagAZ Aquila is the low comfortable chairs - they are regulated in total in two directions, which is why some people need to show a fair acrobatility to be pressed to the driver or passenger place. The same applies to the rear seats of the car, because it is quite difficult to get there, due to the small to the unfortunate doors.

Causes complaints and insufficient visibility of TagAZ Aquila. Stylish solutions of developers in the form of small, actually decorative rear stalk We provoked the emergence of problems with obtaining visual information about the road. This disadvantage is partially overlapped by competently installed side mirrors. It is worth noting that the car was originally planned three-door, but subsequently evolved to five-door - it is likely that it is precisely this factor that it was directly affected by the absence of the design of the rear doors of TagAZ Aquila.

And what about technical filling

Engine

The overwhelming majority of the most important assemblies and aggregates of the car TagAZ Aquila are created by the world's all over the world. But their assembly is carried out in the Middle Kingdom - domestic experts rightly believe that due to such a solution, the quality of the technical filling machine does not decrease, unlike the price. Power point The sedan is a 16-valve volume of 1.6 liters. Motor power is 107 horse power. The unit interacts with the five-speed mechanical box Transmissions. Such specifications Tagaz Aquila make it clear that the car is a sports car exclusively due to its respective design.

Suspension

The car has a fairly modern suspension, which provides stable behavior on the road. Front independent spring suspension is additionally enhanced by stabilizer transverse stability. The type of suspension - MacPherson, perhaps, one of the most common types of such mechanisms today. As for the rear bridge TagAZ Aquila, then there is a spring dependent suspension of the same type, however, with hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers.

On the video test drive sports car TagAZ Aquila:

Test Drive TagAZ Aquila clearly demonstrated that the suspension installed on the car fully copes with its duties. The sedan quite adequately behaves both at low and high (as far as possible is not outstanding. force aggregate) Speed. All the delights of domestic roads, in the form of chosel and irregularities, smoothed quite well, so vibration in the cabin of the car is practically immatched.

Safety

Long before the beginning conveyor production Aquila, the prototype of the model passed all the necessary tests that determine the degree of its safety. The crash test was carried out on the Dmitrovsky landfill known in the automotive environment. After completion of the tests, the sedan was assigned status vehicleThat automatically confirmed sufficiently to start production and sell such safety levels.

The main element that ensures the security of the driver and passengers TagAZ Aquila is a hydraulic braking system equipped with automatic adjustment of emerging gaps. On the front and rear axles of the machine are installed durable. The salon is also sufficiently protected - there is an anti-lock system, airbag (though, only for the driver), as well as belts of the new modification and special children's attachments with enhanced clamps.

In general, it can be noted that the security system of the new car from the Taganrog plant reliably protects its passengers, which is especially noticeable against the background of many of its Russian fellow. Pluses TagAZ Aquila - a modern and small maximum speed that the sedan can develop.

Equipment

At the moment there is a single basic configuration on sale, but the manufacturer promises that such a modest choice in the foreseeable future will be extensively expanded. Therefore, today by car enthusiasts to sit behind the wheel of the first Russian sports car Tagaz Aquila (although not quite speed) will have to be satisfied with the following configuration:

• engine 1.6 l;
• mechanical gearbox, 5-speed;
• electric windows;
• electrically adjustable rear mirrors;
• heated mirrors;
• fog lights;
• audio system;
• opening the trunk and tank using remote control.

Price

Hardly the most important advantage of such a car is its cost. The price of TagAZ Akvella in Basova and as already mentioned above, the only one for the time is only 415 thousand rubles. As for the machine with such a bright and memorable design, although not with the most outstanding technical characteristics, quite adequate and somewhere even affordable cost.

The car, as the manufacturer itself positions directly, is designed for buyers from the number of youth. In fact, this sedan with the deposits of a sports car is an excellent alternative already by the order of the subdue Vazovsky "nine" and "priors."

disadvantages

Minuses in Tagaz Aquila is not so much, although they are. From the disadvantages you can select the following:

• weak engine;
• non-durability of the dashboard;
• miniature rear windows;
• uncomfortable rear doors.

Summary for the new brainchild of the production of the Taganrog automotive factory is quite simple. First of all, it is very stylish, possessing a futuristic and innovative design machine. Its main advantages - high-quality assembly, good challenges, Modern security system, spacious salon, and low cost.

But three bright multicolored cars were not waiting for us at all in Taganrog, but on the outskirts of another famous city - Azov. Here, in one of the workshops of the former Baby Food Combine and collect the Aquila model. And sensations, when you get into the workshop, not less than from the car itself. Because it is a real modern assembly shop - with a new suspended conveyor, a raincam, laboratories for quality control ... Where does it come from? Explanation Simple: Another Tagaz model was to be assembled here, for which the equipment was brought several years ago, partially mounted ... and that's it. Now I'm launched in stages. And collect cars.

However, this is not so important. The main thing is the car. Rather, three, to choose from: white, red, yellow. One of them we chose to explore. The first feeling at the form of "Aquila" is shock. No one could even assume that this can produce it - painfully the rapid and at the same time nontrivial view of the car. Is it beautiful? Immediately I can not say. Unusual! Stylish! It seems like a part of the body "read" - here's the lines of the hood, for example, remind "Lotus" ... And the back part is also reminded of someone ... But in general, the car looks quite harmoniously, even the narrow booster windows for the rear passengers do not annoy (It is still in their place will not be found). In general, an interesting design, clings ... What was confirmed during the short trip around the plant: it seemed to be pumped, the whole population of the South Russian Town took out. By the way, the body panels are not driving well, despite the fact that these are machines from the installation lot. There are no obvious flams, although it was possible to find it with the quality of the processing of individual body details, and to a number of trifles. It makes the car to a normal series - I hope all (or almost everything) will eliminate.

In the cabin immediately pay attention to sports leather seats in body color. It looks great! Alas, to climb into a driver's seat (and the front passenger, too) is not too convenient: the chair is in sports, it is necessary to exercise a fair mastery. And it is not easy to get enough: the seats are only two adjustments (back and forth and on the corner of the back); The steering wheel is one, along the corner of the tilt. But, in general, there is nothing to demand from the sports car of the comfort of limousine! And the dashboard is quite rustic and assembled, it seems, from what was - everything seems to be clear, no complaints about ergonomics, to informative, but ... does not cling. In such a car and from the devices are waiting for an emotional explosion, and here everything is simple, fiscal and trite. Sorry…

And visibility at Aquila not at a high level. On the left-left wide front racks overlap rather large "dead zones", from behind in a tiny glass in general, it can be seen. Overlines only side mirrors.

More funny passengers of the rear seats. To get there through the narrow doorways of the doors, you need a circus dexterity: I swung, curved and - forward! But not to knock at the same time the head does not turn out. But the places on the rear seats are unexpectedly much, you can sit behind my leg. But the head at the same time will have to tilt forward or aside: gives a low ceiling. Yes, and there is nothing to turn your head, to stare - in narrow windows, the buyers still almost nothing can be seen ...

On plastic path

The main "know-how" model is the construction of the body. Car frame - a spatial frame of a modular type, on which aggregates are installed. The body kit is made of plastic, which allows you to speed up the installation, and if necessary, dismantling and replacing individual parts of the body parts. That is, damaged the wing - there are no problems: unscrewed broken, put a new one. And if the damage is small, you can quickly sharpen the plot, paint and then sleep well: it will not be rust ...

Actually, there is nothing new in such a design. Supercar manufacturers have long come along the same "plastic" path, but they use a body kit from very expensive carbon fiber. On Tagazi is used to manufacture the outer facing of fiberglass (FRP), the inner lining and elements of the cabin are made of plastic (ABS) with a decorative coating. Moreover, the coatings can be the most different - under a soft darous tissue (ceiling), under the skin (dashboard), etc. Panels with frames with locks, latches or bolts are connected; Between themselves - glued together. In principle, on new Machine All this design is adjusted well, does not creak, but how will it endure operation on our roads? ..

By the way, the same design was supposed to be a fabulous "bears", ghostly "e-mobile" and "Marusi" ... But Tagaz has 15 years of experience in the production of cars, and "Aquirs" - here they are! ..

Units, knots, pendant parts - from well-known world manufacturers, but are collected at the enterprises of these companies in China. So cheaper. For example, the only possible engine is "Mitsubishi" 4G18S with a volume of 1.6 liters, gearbox - "Aysin" F5M41, the ignition system and engine control - "Delphi", ABS - Bosch, etc. True, part of the details - from Korea, for example, shock absorbers - Korean. Plastic - our, as well as the seats; True, they made them from imported materials on the overseashell.

In general, the whole design is designed in South Korea, From there and profits a year ago in Taganrog, the first prototypes. Initially, a three-door car project, but then, at the request of the customer, it was made in five-door (therefore the rear doors turned out to be such a coughs).

The first, pre-production party (46 cars) was collected on Tagaz at the beginning of this year; They are mainly used for testing, technologies and design. The second party, the first cars from which we saw is the installation, and there is already a plan for the issue for October - to collect up to 200 pieces. The most interesting thing is that the bank lenders of the plant "blessed". Cars tested tagaz dealers and decided - they will sell a car! Apparently, from the beginning of next year, the retail price for the only complete set - 425 thousand rubles. In the database - one airbag, ABS, air conditioning, full electric car. The car has already successfully passed the crash test at the Dmitrovsky Polygon and has "approval of the type of vehicle", which allows it to sell. That is, it is not some kind of homemade, but quite a car!

Among buyers, the Tagaza see young people who "grew up" from "Priors" and would like to buy inexpensive, but at the same time a bright, extraordinary car. Let not really sports, but even to look like a sports car. So, get! ..

About the results of the first test drive "Aquila" read in the nearest issue of the journal "driving", number 11, and on the website www.Syt

Taganrog automotive plant is known primarily by assembling various foreign cars - first Hyundai Accent., then - old SsangYong and Chery models under their brands Tagaz and Vortex, respectively, which were produced, even when the enterprise was at death - that is, in a state of bankruptcy. But in early 2012, the thunder rushed among the clear sky - unexpectedly it became known that Taganrozhsov prepare completely new car own design under the index PS511. Later, the situation began to gradually clear up - the car was able to certify in Russia and get the "approval of the type of vehicle". The name chose light, air and successful - Tagaz Akvella. Wherever the faceless indexes like 2111 or 3110. The main target audience is the youth. That is, it was assumed that it would be a sports car for a poor audience. Well, a niche of such cars in Russia has so far remained free, so the idea is interesting and even with the successful development of the project can bring profits.

Production facilities are located not in Taganrog, but in another city of the Rostov region - Azov. On his outskirts, it was advantageous to acquire the workshops of the former plant of baby food, and then to re-equip them. By the way, inside very modern - it was assumed that there would be another model there. Made a repair, brought the necessary technique, settled it, but did not come around.

Tagaz Akvella: Design

The car works quite unusually for this class. Outdoor panels made of fiberglass (FRP) are inserted onto the steel frame. The interior is from ABS plastic with a decorative coating, which can be different - for example, under the skin, under the fabric, etc.

Between the panels are connected using glue, and the entire body holds on the framework thanks to castles and snatches. As far as it is practical on our Ughab - it's hard to say. Show real operation.

Typically, the manufacturers of supercars are made, but there instead of plastics use expensive carbon fiber. In this case, the choice fell for savings considerations. The fact is that equipment for stamping body parts from steel is a huge money - tens of millions of dollars. Naturally, such money has no such money, and there is no. But even if there are funds in this case, the investments could not pay off - the planned production volume was quite modest.

In addition, it is very convenient for both the owners of the car. Damaged item (for example, wing or threshold) can be easily unscrewed and replaced with a new one. And if only badly damaged - it will not rust - this is plastic.

In general, the car is designed in South Korea, and it was first planned that it would be three-year. But then, at the insistence of the customer (that is, Tagaza), the rear doors were still embarrassed - the truth is modest.

The technical part is completely "recruited" from the purchased items of famous global manufacturers with extensive experience. For example, a 1.6 liter engine - Mitsubishi 4G18S, a manual transmission (automaton "is not provided at all) - AISIN F5M41, ABS - BOSCH, Ignition and motor control system - Delphi, etc. Made all these components in China. And what about the Russian Aquila, except for assembly? Only chairs and plastic. All this is true, done by imported patterns.

TagAZ Aquila: appearance

The Tagaz Aquila looks unexpectedly stylish. Bright body painting in combination with black roof - Designer find. Usually for such an option (it is available, for example, for Skoda Fabia) asking for considerable money, and here - already in the basic configuration!

When looking at the front, Tesla is unambiguously remembered. However, for Akvella, this is a big compliment - especially since Ilon Mask his electric cars did not yet introduce. Apron wheel arches - So in general, "muscular." Rear - everything is also very good and very good - not to do something. But the side windows seem to be too small - it looks more like ambrusuras. Especially not lucky in this regard rear passengers - They were generally left "loaves".

And it's good that they did not add the third window - so the silhouette is more like sports coupe. And the emblem of the plant resembles nothing more than Lamborghini. Only instead of the bull - eagle, because the word "Akvella" is translated from Latin.

Interior

Climbing the Salon is uncomfortable: the open is narrow. It is necessary to show acrobatic skills that not everyone will like.

Inside - leather chairs with upholstery in body color. They are good and even chic. True, the adjustments are only two - on the corner of the backrest and at the distance to the pedal. The steering wheel, by the way, is tuned only in height. The ceiling hits pretty low - this is a payroll for "merchantness".

The main idea of \u200b\u200bthe front panel is sportiness - in order to harmonize with appearance. Baranca is grip, three-span. True, the components are scored from those that are produced serially, and they are inexpensive - but they do not add up to the overall composition. Especially grieves the "Avoidance" button - it seems to be taken from cheap soviet buses: Inspection, of coarse plastic. In order to revive the kingdom of black plastic at least a little, the panels of the ventilation system (by the way, very successful) were framed with chrome rims.

Devices taken from Mitsubishi Lancer. ninth generation. The main role is played by a speedometer. Tachometer - to the left of it, and the information display is completely tiny.

With visibility - trouble. Racks - wasteful, from rear glass Also a little sense. Thank you can say exterior mirrors.

In the rear places

Penet to the second row of seats with people with the problems of the musculoskeletal system will be very difficult. Yes, and completely healthy are unlikely to become like a similar solution. But the locations in length - unexpectedly a lot. You sit like in a limousine, throwing my leg behind my leg. True, the ceiling, like in front, very low and "presses" on the head.

However, it can crush without quotes if the passenger growth is at least a little higher than the average - he has to bend forward at the same time in order to at least consider something around. Although, do it problematic - little in the side windows is visible.

Trunk.

The loops of the covers are made so that they take part of the useful space. Put a more advanced design - it means to increase the price, and it is impossible to do this. Yes, and the discovery is very too eager - the rear lights are located on the sides.

The volume of the trunk itself is only 392 liters. It is not possible to increase it - the rear seat does not develop at all, even entirely.

Overview TagAZ Aquila: Results

Production continued only about then. During this time, only a few hundred cars were made, not counting pre-production prototypes. Retail price, subject to independent receipt at the factory, accounted for 425 thousand rubles. In the basic (and the only) configuration - ABS, air conditioning, full electric circuit, fog lights. But Eyrbeg is just one. Calculation: Russians are ready to pay rather alloy wheels, leather upholstery and other elements of comfort and style than security.

Now you can buy a used copy - they are on sale. They ask for such a car with a slight mileage of 360-450 thousand. True, together with the car, the buyer receives a headache for the search for spare parts. And if the main nodes can easily pick up - they are quite serial, there are no body panels on sale.

I would like to start an article from the main thing: in my own itself is considerable achievements of the domestic auto industry. Of course, there will be critics that I will tell you that the Taganrog is not the case, and will be in many ways. However, the very fact of the appearance of the first serial "sports car", and even a VAZ released, agree, worthy of respect. First, not afraid. Secondly, the announced image of the "sports car" Tagaz Akvella, in spite of everything, supports adequately. And finally, today there is no doubt that given the first experience gained, Tagaz Aquila will be able to make the next generation of Tagaz Aquila much more attractive, and possibly closest to the proud name sports car without quotes.

Recall that the creation of TagAZ Aquila engineers worked for more than two years. Auto went on sale only in 2013. Today we will look at what exactly is a domestic "sports car", its technical characteristics, cost. In general, we will try to open the veil of mystery, which hides the most expected novelty of the domestic car industry in 2013-2014.

First of all, we will remind that the car under consideration can not be called a full-fledged sports car. This name (exclusively in quotes) is applied only through external similarity with representatives of this family, and the style of interior design. According to official classifiers, "Eagle" (and this is how the name "Akvilla") belongs to the class of budget sedans. This fully confirms not only the dimensions of the car, but also its design features.

Auto has excellent resistant on the road. The dimensions of the wheelbase are promoted, as well as broad beaches.

• So, the length of TagAZ Akvella is 4683 mm; width - 1824 mm; Height - 1388mm. Mentioned wheelbase - 2750mm; The gauges of the front and rear wheels are 1560 mm and 1551mm, respectively.
• Complete mass of cars - 1410 kg. Official factory statistics regarding the car clearance is still silent, but it became known that it equals 145 mm.

As for the appearance of the car Taganrojs worked on excellent. This estimate is explained simply Tagaz Aquila even closely is not a copy of any super car, its outlines are sports and very original. Note that the factory workers are not in a hurry to betray publicity and the aerodynamic coefficient of Akvilles, arguing that it fully corresponds to similar parameters in sports cars.

Of course, there is an external design of aquist and disadvantages. The main among them is a significant gap formed when closing the rear doors. Unfortunately, while the scope of these elements is still wishing the best. Although, the problem is easy enough, it is worth only engineers to pay due attention. Among the small "troubles", you can call too highly located license plate of the car. It is hardly under the hood, despite the presence of a much more convenient place of attachment under the air intake.

The car's salon looks sufficiently decent, especially if you remember that price Auto 400 thousand rubles. There are some sports notes all, from non-zero steering wheel and panels to the upholstery of the doors are very modest, but neatly, and, in general, quite well. Internally, the Tagaz Aquila space was created with a priority for the front seats (as expected by sports), because of which it is convenient to stay in the back conveniently high and large passengers.

Anatomical front armchairs have built-in head restraints, and the side rollers provide proper support for the back and hips while driving at high speeds. The instrument panel is simple, but understandable everything in its places, the instrument records are visible perfectly. The gearbox engineers installed too close to the console, it is necessary to stretch behind it.

The steering wheel, as we have already spoken, is primarily necessary for a racing car of tides for large fingers and in risen. At the same time, it is installed too high, and the chair is too low. In other words, the ergonomic indicators of Aquila require very large modifications to at least conditionally go to the level of sports car.

Planting by rear seats complicated by a specific form of opening. Also does not contribute to the comfortable placement and too low form of the roof of the car. True for the feet more than enough confirmation of this is the impressive wheelbase. Tagaz Aquila has received a rather modest 392 liter. Trunk, while the loading space is somewhat rounded, which will create problems in the case of loading large loads. But is this the main problem for sports car?

Specifications

The technical characteristics of the domestic "Superato" are quite modest: so, today Tagaz Aquila has only an antimony, and has a single copy gasoline motorBut what! After prolonged thoughts, Taganrojs stopped on engine Mitsubishi.. So, the 4-cylinder Japanese 4G18S motor possesses: 16 valve timing; 1.6 liters volume (1584 cm3); Injector, and aggregated with 5-stage. MCPP. His stated power - 107l.s. at 6000rd / min. The greatest cool. The moment - 138nm, is achieved at 3000 best. The engine corresponds to not the highest norms of Euro-4. Despite more than modest (in comparison with sports carries), characteristics, this engine It is enough that Akville confidently felt in his segment. The maximum speed of the Taganrog braid is about 185 km / h, at the time of overclocking to "weave" - \u200b\u200b12 seconds. Verified data regarding the fuel consumption was not possible.

Of course, Taganrojs have some types of further increase in the line of motors for Akvylla - Soon, the new product should receive the aggregates of 125l.s. and 150l.s. The latter, most likely, will be 2.0l., With turbocharging. 150L.S. The motor will be installed on the 2-door version of Aquila, which, in addition to the manual transmission, will receive and automat.

Aquila suspension, it is quite possible to consider partly sports, however, again, there is no information regarding practical exploitation. For the chassis, the most common layout today is: MacPherson racks ahead, rear is just a spring dependent design. Brakes Taganrog Sport car received hydraulic, possessing on all 4-rection disk mechanisms; The steering mechanism is equipped with a hydraulicer - with such equipment to Sport Karas Aquila could be attributed unless that 50 years ago.

Video Test Drive

Installation of Akvella is still available only one - with alloy 18 inches. disks (rubber - 225/45 R18), air conditioning, full electric car, ABS, front and rear fog, heating rear window, MP3 audio system, support AUX, and CD drive. Sitting upholstered artificial leather, there is a driver's airbag, a central locking, as well as ISOFIX mounting.

Number of color options Tagaz Aquila Four: white, yellow, red and black. Apparently, so the manufacturer decided to strengthen the similarity with sports cars as much as possible available options The color is missing gray or silver shades familiar to budget models.

In March 2013, buyers for the first time became available new Russian automotive industry - Tagaz Aquila. it passenger cars Class C and manufactured in Taganrog. Initially, the car was called PS511. The name of "Aquila" from the Latin language is translated as an eagle. The goal of the plant was to create a fundamentally new car that would not have analogues. And to solving this issue, they approached as serious as possible. All model range of TagAZ.

Exterior

With an external appearance, the company seems to be everything. The image is really impressive and attracts attention. Among domestic producers, more aggressive and rapid body can hardly be found. In designer issues, Tagaz Akvella, characteristic of the character and sharp forms with predatory lines, which are characteristic of Western sports cars are noticeably traced.

In general, despite the risk of connecting different styles, the car looks quite proportionally and not too sharply. Thanks to the efforts of engineers, standard errors of Russian cars, in the form of poorly laid parts or low-quality polishing of the body, managed to avoid that the success of the company is already promulited. And in the structure of the body of the car, the company applied another WEESD technology - the mass use of plastic in particular parts of the body kit.

Due to such a discretion, the installation and dismantling process itself is significantly reduced during repair or maintenance cars. In addition, its total weight is reduced. With side, Akvella is charged with a curvilinear surface, which smoothly goes into the rear wings, an interesting pattern of doors and embossed thresholds, thanks to which, in addition to beauty, aerodynamic testimony of the machine. On the back, a rounded bumper has found its place with a lower contrasting insert, and under them there are stylish rear lights. The volume of the trunk is 392 liters.

Interior

The interior is not at a primitive level, but responds to European parameters. Opening the door you can immediately pay attention to the magnificent leather chairs, made under the sporty style. Excellent side support will give confidence on turns. Designers decided to make in one color and the interior and the color of the car, which gives a sedan a single appearance. The materials of the interior decoration do not cause reproaches. Free space Tagaz Aquila is enough, especially from behind. But after such a chic salon with a beautiful view, a little bit upset the dashboard of the machine.

But what is necessary for the driver, informativeness and susceptibility of the dashboard, all this is at Akvella. Inside you feel spacious, everything around ergonomically. Chairs are regulated in just two directions, which can deliver inconvenience to some people. Still, the place is very noticeable where the engineers clearly saved. Strongly visible rivets of plastic parts, a cheap steering wheel, a non-sustainable trimming of doors, which are also very small and get into the car can cost great efforts. Only the ventilation holes that imitate the chromium finish look a little.

Specifications

Tagaz Aquila comes with 16 valve Engine, volume of 1.6 liters and outstanding 107 horsepower. The unit developed in China is based on the Mitsubishi Motor CO license paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Such modest characteristics suggest that Tagaz Akvella is a sports car only because of its external aggressive design. Regarding the running moments, the advanced suspensions are used in the Russian model. Front costs an independent McPherson suspension, strengthened by a transverse stability stabilizer. Behind the dependent spring suspension of the same type, but with the use of telescopic shock absorbers on hydraulics. The suspension is well suited under the state of our roads and is well adapted for small holes.

So far, Tagaz Akvella will be offered only with an editorial modification with a single power unit operating on gasoline. This motor provided an injection fuel injection system, and it fully meets the EURO-4 environmental standards. It is clear that with a similar motor with sports cars You simply do not work out, but the Taganrog car feels confident between the sedans of its class. Limit speed It is 180-190 km / h, and the first hundred reaches in 12 seconds. Grand Plans of the Steering Council of the Taganrog enterprise suggest that if there is a steady demand for new model, in the same year they can add to car market Hardware TagAZ Akvella with power units for 125 and 150 horse forces.

The strongest will have a working volume of 2.0 liters and will be able to equip a turbocharger. Create a car with a 150-strong engine, engineers are planning a gauge version of Akvella, in which, in addition to the manual box, will be available and automatic box Shift. The suspension device, in principle, can be equal to sports, but how effective it is in operation - it is still difficult to say.
