What is better - Lacetti or Logan? Comparison of Renault Logan, Chevrolet Lacetti, Daewoo Nexia and Hyundai Accent Road clearance Logan and Lacetti

All new and new proposals arrive at the Russian market of budget cars. The future driver becomes difficult to decide on the choice, because there are so many options around, and the price is approximately the same. Bright example - Chevrolet Lacetti. and Renault Logan.who are popular with Russian motorists. A comparative review will help to determine the readers planning a purchase.

Dimensions in millimeters

Design and interior

Lacetti is offered in the body of hatchback, sedan, wagon, and Logan is only a sedan, so the review is relevant to those who are interested in sedans. In terms of design, none of the cars boast of refinement - we have conventional, but stylish cars. Perhaps someone will see minus in such "serous", but this is the convenient course of the manufacturer - the car is not tied to a particular audience. On the appearance cannot be said, it is good or not, it solves each buyer independently. Nevertheless, both cars have a modern body shape decorated with pleasant optics.

Inside both models have an ordinary but functional layout. The Logan dashboard is not highlighted by anything, but all the indicators are clearly visible at the expense of a clear backlight, similar to Lacetti. The driver's seat in both models is regulated by the main directions. The dashboard of each applicant is characterized by an attractive appearance and verified ergonomics. The state employees have a minimum set of controls: climate control unit and standard radio tape recorder.

Auto have about the same dimensions, respectively, free space Coincides, but Chevrolet is still more. For example, three men will sit in the rear sofa, three men will sit, two will fill in Logan.

Chevrolet bribes the presence of a steering wheel hydraulic in each configuration. Logan, the hydraulic can only attached in expensive equipment.

Telest

Let's start with Renault. A 1.4-liter unit with a capacity of 75 horses is installed on the basic version. idling He pulls the car. Such a motor with head is enough for those who are going to ride one. But if there are frequent voyages in plans, it is worth moving to a 1.6-liter version with a capacity of 102 liters. from. The dynamics will not take off, but there will be a tangible reserve. Power point Logan works with 5mcpp.

Dynamic characteristics

Lacetti as a basic unit is also installed 1.4-liter gas engine With a power of 95 forces. There is a motor in a pair with "mechanics" for five steps. Second version - 1.6-liter petrol aggregate at 109. horse power. It works as both with mechanics and with a 4-speed automaton. Top version - an atmospheric at 1.8 liters with a capacity of 121 power. For it are available the same types of transmission.

Fuel consumption, l / 100 km

Comparison of packages

Which of the car is better, everyone will solve himself, and we run on the set. Basic equipment Logan received the name "authentique", it only has an engine for 1.4 liters. You should not wait for high comfort, here you are waiting for only a airbag. The victorious version is called "Expression" - there is a central locking and power steering. A similar option with a 1.6-liter engine comes with electronic brake-driven.

Dear configurations go with a 1.6-liter motor. One of them is "priveleg". The package includes on-board computer, Elevator driver's chair, fog, headrests on the rear row, remote control of the central locking, 15-inch wheels. Top equipment "Storia", in addition to the above, includes heating and electrically driven outer mirrors, heated the front seats.

Is the situation of Lacetta better? The basic version is equipped with two airbags, central locking, ABS, steering wheel hydraulic. In more expensive equipment The leather sheathing of the steering wheel and the lever of the gearbox, the electric drives of the outer mirrors, the heating of the glass, a comfortable armrest. In addition to the presence of a power steering, there are no special differences between the filling of the car - to choose the best problematic.

Conclusion

Logan became an excellent alternative domestic cars. After all, the price of it begins with 10 thousand dollars. Although the car is not endowed with an interesting appearance, it has a more significant plus - the suspension adapted to our conditions, the secret of Renault's popularity in the CIS countries. If you are not particularly interested in appearance, then Logan - right choice. His opponent cannot boast comfortable movement on broken roads.

Many buyers pushes the "poor" compartment of the cabin. Yes, B. basic configuration Everything really looks sad. But when buying "Expression" you will get all the necessary equipment, including air conditioning, so it is worth spending on a complete set.

Lacetti has a definite character. Plus the car - the presence of two modifications. Sedan and 5-door hatch differ not only with dimensions, but also design. Feature of the sedan - angularity. Many car enthusiasts note that the updated Lacetti design has become more modern. As for Hatch, his appearance Weatheted in the youth direction. Where does such differences come from? The answer is simple - various studio design was engaged in design. The team from "Pinifarina" took over the sedan, hatching "ITALDESIGN". The feature of the car is a calm ride, as the handling is not the best here.

What features to rely on, when choosing an inexpensive used car? First of all, it is the price, practicality, reliability and liquidity. These are the characters of this review, cars: Chevrolet Lacetti and Renault Logan. Both models relate to the economy-class and have proven themselves in our country.

Most owners leave only positive reviewsBut it does not work out without reasonable criticism.

Start of release of the 2004 model. Conducted itself as very reliable, "unhappy" car. Most owners, the first not critical breakdowns begin only after one hundred thousand kilometers, and many overcome the line without problems 200 thousand kmAnd only after this mark are faced with any intervention in the car. Unfortunately, in addition to the body of the sedan, Renault Logan can no longer offer anything, although the body wagon would have faltered very useful, such a practical car.

Engines: 8 valve 1.4 and 1.6 liters, 16-valve 1.6 liters (K4M), most preferable cars with this motor. In other countries, the Logan is installed even diesel, 1.5 liters and 1.0-liter motor, which works both on gasoline and on ethyl alcohol, and on the alcohol, the engine power and dynamics are higher than on gasoline.

Motors are constructively simple and reliable, undemanding to the quality of fuel. Timing the timing belt, when the cliff of which the valves bend at all engines Renault. Logan. On motors 1.4 (8 cl.) and 1.6 (8 cl.) There are no hydraulic components that require valve adjustment (approximately every 30,000 km). On the engine K4M 1.6 (16 CL) hydraulic components are installed, the valve adjustments are not required.

Gears are installed: mechanical 5-speed, less frequently automatic 4-speed. Both boxes are quite reliable, the oil is flooded for the whole service life, although it is still recommended to change it, once at 60,000 km.

Front suspension made by type Macpherson., rear, half-dependent beam. In general, very reliable, easily consistent 100 and more thousand km. First of all, they will require replacement, support bearings, rear shock absorbers. Spare parts inexpensive and affordable, repair does not cause any difficulties and can be produced, completely, in the garage itself.

For the cheaper and simplicity of the cabin, as well as for the lack of noise insulation, only the lazy did not reproached Renault Logan. This is the main and very big minus model, then the company saved both on the quality of materials and on ergonomics as a whole.

Pros and cons:

• pros: price, "non-existent" suspension, reliability, engine resource, galvanized body, high clearance, good permeability, price and availability of spare parts.
• Minuses: Lack of comfort, low noise insulation, cheap plastic, weak stove and air conditioning bad speaker, big flow Fuel 8 valve engines.

Start of release 2002, in South Korean GM. In Russia gathered in Kaliningrad. Budget car Class "C", who has proven itself in our country. Produced in the bodies of the sedan, hatchback, wagon. Body color can not be called bad, but thanks to very thin metal, regular chips and dents can not be avoided, and rusting thresholds and rear arches, it typical problem GM-Wrist cars, but manifests not on all copies and auto age, approximately 10 years and older.

Lacetti equipped with 3 motors, volume 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 liters. All engines are quite reliable, the 4th ecological class, feed 95th gasoline, but easily digested and 92. The main problems of these motors, this is the flow of gaskets valve cover, Nagar's formation on the valves, because of which the engine begins to work with interruptions, is treated with the disconnection of the USR valve and flashing the ECU.

The gearbox was installed: 5-speed mechanics and a 4-speed automatic. These aggregates are tested by time and have proven themselves as reliable. PPCs do not require any service, oil is flooded for the entire service life, but domestic "servicemen", yet recommend changing it once at 60,000 km.

Front suspension and rear independent, which is well affected by the controllability and comfort of the car. On average, the service life of the suspension 100 thousand kmThat on our roads is a good indicator.

The interior is simple, but pleasant, with comfortable seats, in which you can get good for long trips, thanks to a long pillow. The materials of the finish though not expensive, but well fitted and do not cause unpleasant emotions. The cabin is spacious enough with a good for its class noise insulation, the interior is simple, without any design solutionsthat is inherent in all economy-class cars.

Pros and cons:

• pros: low price, reliable engine, strong and comfortable suspension, spacious interior, comfortable seats, warm, galvanized body.
• Minuses: Thin body body iron, weak electrical wiring, low-quality plastic, weak noise insulation, clearance for our roads.

Outcome

Choosing between models Renault. Logan and Chevrolet Lacetti, the price of which on the market, between the models of one year, is an average of 50 thousand rubles, it is necessary to consider that both cars belong to the economy-class, but Lacetti is the class "C", and Logan on the class below - "B" .

Comparing the characteristics, for this small difference you can purchase:

1. Car above class.
2. Choosing a body for their needs and to your liking.
3. An independent suspension, which significantly affects the controllability of the car.
4. Comfortable and warm salon.
5. A more powerful engine with an equal volume.

These are the indicators that Renault Logan boasts, and if they repel from them, then, of course, wins Lacetti, but if, not relying on the above, look for the highest possible and reliable option that, without delivering trouble with repair, will ride and carry, then in this respect Logan will give odds to the overwhelming majority of brands, on Russian market. In any case, the choice always remains at the end user.

Recently, inexpensive foreign cars are gaining increasing popularity in our country. Together with the gorgeous crisis in priority turned out to be passenger carswhich will cost really inexpensive, but at the same time satisfy all the requirements for safety and comfort, and also have low price For maintenance and spare parts. Today we will compare the leader of the budget segment of Renault Logan with the most popular eco-class foreign cars: Hendai Accent, Daewoo Nexia and Chevrolet Lacetti - and find out who is better.

Guest from the USA

It is no secret that Renault Logan is far from the only favor of the race. By russian roads Tens of thousands of cars, which have long been loved by drivers for inexpensive service and extremely democratic prices. At the same time, such cars comply with all European standards, and no signs of the familiar "Soviet" low cost are not observed here.

To understand which car to choose, Renault Logan or Chevrolet Lacetti, you must first take a look at these two cars from the side.

If we consider the first generation of Logan, then the design is good to name, the language does not rotate. Here are angular transitions, sharp, blurred contours and, of course, cheap external finishing materials, which can be seen, perhaps even with the naked eye.

Lacetti affairs are quite different. Yes, this car is really hard to call stylish or expensive. But each line describing the body looks harmonious and perfectly fits into the overall concept of the machine design. A rather stylish and expressive optics, in additions to everything, much more fully performs its functions than the small rectangular headlights of the Frenchman.

The interior of both cars does not replete a large number of chips that are capable of surprising. But here everything is performed in the style of pleasant minimalism and does not require a lot of time to get used.

It is very different about to compare the American with an updated Logan, which is a completely recycled car, created with a clean sheet, despite the fact that the line of the engines here remains the same.

The engines that are provided for Lacetti are row four-cylinder atmospheric. The same can be said about Renault Logan Motors Line. However, more powerful aggregates are provided for Chevrolet: 1.4 and a capacity of 95 horsepower and flagship 1.8 with a capacity of 118 forces, when 75 "horses" is achieved for Reno at 1.4 liters, and at 1.6 only 102. Thus, in terms of engines "Guest From the States "it turns out better.

It is quite different things when comparing Lacetti with the second generation of Logan. The Frenchman still loses in terms of dynamics and high-speed indicators, but the quality of the interior finish materials, and the design of the machine itself is much higher than that of a competitor.

Moreover, recreation Renault. Logan is an order of magnitude richer, so the updated Logan goes into the leaders.

Unsurpassed superiority

Another contender for the title of the winner is the usual eye of a native of the Uzbek car industry with Korean roots - Daewoo Nexia.. This class B sedan has already proven himself as a hardy car, which is able to do without overhaul Engine for hundreds of thousand kilometers.

What to say, the appearance of Daewoo Nexia is very simple and is mediocre, as it should be expected from such an inexpensive and truly popular car, even though several years ago Daewoo Nexia expected restyling. After that, the sedan got new optics, a few modified grille of the radiator and a light body kit, which, of course, went nonsense to benefit.

If you compare Daewo Nexia with the first Logan, the choice again falls in favor of the Frenchman. Obviously, in comparison with Korean, the design of which takes its basis at the Opel Cadet of the eighties, Renault looks more slaughter and angry. But if you go to the interior, then a certain choice will be made much more difficult. If Nexia has low-cost materials and hard plastic, then Renault Logan is not "lagging behind" in this regard, and here on dashboard, door handles, and the steering wheel itself is used oak and cheap material. However, the second generation of Logan is far ahead of Nexia, although it costs this car more expensive.

Rule daewoo engines Nexia is represented as a gasoline four-cylinder atmospheric motor, which, with a volume of 1.6 liters, is able to give up to 108 horsepower. Recall that Logan the engine will define the same configuration only 102 forces - Nexia here breaks into leaders. The torque at Uzbekki reaches 150 Newton meters, when, as a Frenchman, he is less than 5 units and reaches only 145.

As for fuel consumption, Nexia, oddly enough, again turns out to be the winner. In the mixed cycle, the auto consumption is only 9.3 liters vs. 9.4 Logan. But when the town of Nexia loses almost a liter.

Bet on practicality

Another compact sedan, which enjoys amazing popular among Russian car owners is the emphasis model. This car is in great demand, thanks to high confidence in the Korean auto industry and phenomenally inexpensive spare parts and components, the benefit, they can be felt in almost any auto shop.

If you compare the appearance of the emphasis Logan, then the leader here is much more difficult to determine than in the case of the first two cars. And the choice is equally difficult both in the case of the first generation, which looks too toporing and angular, and with the second, which is an order of magnitude better than the accent .

In other words, Korean in terms of design turns out to be a golden middle and represents a harmoniously looking, but not too catchy passenger cars.

Turning to the interior, it is impossible not to note that the emphasis of the finishing materials are quite high-quality, so there are no complaints about the excessive budget approach of complaints. In contrast to the accent, the first generation Renault Logan predominates the hard plastic, which will warm and crushes in every way when driving.

For the Korean sedan, more powerful and engaged motors are offered than for the Frenchman. So, in the line of engines included power units with a capacity of 107 and 138 horsepower, if we talk about last generation Sedana, which began his release in 2010. But the fuel consumption of the accent, which "prefers" fuel with 95 octane, almost a liter above in the urban and country cycle.

As for the transmission, for Korean, in addition to mechanics, only an outdated 4-step automaton is provided. For the French, the manufacturer prepared a stepless variator, who has proven itself perfectly and is much better coping with his duties than the classical automatic transmission.

Final verdict

All considerated cars are an excellent solution for those who prefer maximum comfort for the minimum amount. If the first generation Renault Logan loses most of the cars represented, including accent and nexia, in terms of design and quality of finishing materials, restyling breaks into leaders and becomes a racing favorite.
