ZAZ View and Chevrolet Aveo Differences. Sedan ZAZ View. Review of the car ZAZ type sedan

Spacious salon for passengers and driver, warm in winter. High clearance, good stability when turning, good maneuverability, powerful engine for its class. A good visibility, the softness of the ride (drove for a year 45000 km - lost somewhere on the plastic cap on the front left wheel at a speed of 130 km / h). Under the hood practically do not look.

ZAZ View, 2011

I purchased a ZAZ Vida car two years ago. To date, 60 thousand kilometers have been run, until I complain. There are some problems of course - this is a bad work of the stove, we have in the north this is relevant, but for such a modest price I did not find a car, which also looked good on the background of my car. I am still a young man enough and I can not afford a dear car, and my family is not complaining so far. The car's consumption is not too big, I, when I bought, I thought it would be much more. For a couple of years I will definitely ride the ZAZ Vida, and then it will be visible, although pleasant impressions remain from this car.

ZAZ View, 2012

At the date of this car ZAZ view on the issue of price-quality, it suits me. I am not very picky, but, compared with my old wife, I seemed to move to a new better level. What does the dust in the salon do not suck in the salon on the field road? What does it mean, what would you get under the hood before you start a car? Yes, and the availability of electric windows - you get used to the good ...

Heading for the representation of the keys from new car, I roughly understood what to expect from her. And if the body and suspension global changes did not happen, without transplanting the "organs" did not cost: in Russia, the sedan and hatchback is supplied with the "heart" from the sensitive models of Chery Bonus and Chery Very. Together with the engine from Asian cars, Vida inherited and transmissia. It is these facts that can scare many potential buyers. Confirm or refute these concerns, I considered the main task.

In slides, the car behaves quite predictable. Photo: Evgenia Lyubimova

As usual, the description of the car will start with the exterior. If you compare with the "donor", then, not counting the emblem on the radiator grille and the inscriptions VIDA on the trunk lid - no changes. Of course, not a standard of beauty, but it looks quite decent and rejection does not cause. The gaps between body panels are smooth, all the doors are easily open, and after - close. In the cabin, again, no shocks: the same old familiar Aveo with barely visible changes. The interior lost silver inserts, a three-spoke steering wheel with a new emblem appeared, and there are such innovations on the door panels as light reflectors. Baranka, I immediately say, I didn't like it very much: it was made of too slippery plastic, but it became more familiar to click on the signal ( Chevrolet buttons The signals were not located in the most convenient places - along the edges of the steering hub). And at least plastic salon turned out to be very tough to the touch, for a week a trip for not the most smooth roads I did not hear any "cricket". Praise! You can't call a close interior, and if you compare the interior decoration with the closest competitor - Renault Logan, here albeit not so spacious, but definitely cozy. Power window buttons are on the usual places, the knobs of the stove rotate with a pleasant effort, the air conditioner is properly working properly, and a small glove box is quite accurate. A sufficient volume of the trunk is very convenient, but, in contrast to the same "Logan", the rear seats are folded here, and separately.

So far have not moved down, it is worth talking about the configuration: at the moment it is only one. If there are three levels of equipment on the homeland (including version with a machine) and two engines to choose from, then we have only available. maximum equipmentwhich includes ABS, air conditioning, power steering, fog lights, front windows, electrically controlled heated mirrors. You can select only the body type - sedan or 5-door hatchback. The Russian representation in the near future hopes to expand the list of complete sets by adding the list of equipment with a 4-speed automaton. Later, more budget versions with a 1.5-liter engine (84 liters), known by the model, will appear. Chevrolet Lanos., as well as with a 1,4-liter Korean motor with a capacity of 94 liters. from.

Ukrainian origin gives only the emblems of the plant. Photo: Evgenia Lyubimova

On the go, I liked the machine as a whole - it's all the same Aveo. The most funny that the "foreign" engine behaves exactly as on the original: the motor is clearly not fully operational. Declared power in 109 liters. from. It should be enough with interest, but when attaching from the place there is a small failure, and only after 1500-2000 turns, the engine begins to wake up. And if it does not interfere with dry asphalt, then on slippery coverage, when it is necessary to move smoothly, sometimes difficulties arise. Either the start occurs with the failure without the required acceleration, or touch the slip. But over time, you get used to this feature. It must be said, such a disease - "Beach" cars produced recently. I watched such behavior like powerful cars premium segments and state employees. The introduction of the EURO 4 norms, which are pretty "stitch" the engine.

Small sized mirrors please good overviewwithout creating a dead zone at the same time. It cannot but rejoice the presence of adjustments and heating. Photo: Evgenia Lyubimova

And the potential of the Asian motor is. The engine, called Austzo, was developed chery. Together with Austrian AVL firm. If you do not hesitate to twist it and more often change the transfer, then the car starts to revive. In the urban stream, you are not lost, and then you even start to "shyly" (successful side mirrors with a good overview are particularly helping). But, after going to the cruising speed of 100-110 km / h, the engine begins slightly "way". The factory knows about this nuance, and an additional noise insulation will appear in the future motor compartment. At the past, Aveo shifting gear did not differ from particularly clarity, and with the "see" there is a feeling of deja vu: when the transmission is quickly changed, the KP lever is "stupid". But, as time has shown, this is a matter of habit: you only need to move the lever more smoothly. Those who will move with Vazovsky front-receivers, will not be exactly disappointed.

The backrests of the seats are folded separately, but there is no flat floor. Photo: Evgenia Lyubimova

But the suspension showed itself from the best side. On large waves of the coating "Action" does not swing, and there were never sorts of breakdowns - the energy intensity on high level. You have to pay for it a fair stiffness - small irregularities are passed on the body quite carefully. Partly the amount of 15-inch tires with the 55th profile - with the wheels of the standard dimension 185/60 R14 would be softer. Fortunately on manageability hard suspension It affects the best. The car confidently keeps turns, although it does not particularly induce course stability: Vida smokes slightly in the kolas of asphalt, sometimes demanding a friend. In general, on our roads a sedan behaves very worthy, and on the winter coating, among other things. On the "snake" - no excitement, everything is predictable and without surprises: in the limit modes, the car is predictable "floats" the outward turning and with a small Lenza stabilizes gas discharge.

Trunk comfortable. The folding backs of the seats form a small "step", but, nevertheless, the long-term transportation is possible. Photo: Evgenia Lyubimova

What is the result? A bicycle did not inject, but they went through the already rolled path, mastering the production of budget foreign cars. And, in my opinion, it turns out well, although there is something to work on what. I don't think that new engine The box will be less reliable than relatives, which are not perfect.

Indications from the instrument panel are read without problems. Photo: Evgenia Lyubimova

Our verdict

Even with the "other people's" engine and transmission, the car is not much different from the predecessor. A decisive role when buying will play the price. Until recently, the sedan cost 400 000 r. Now, taking into account discounts on cars of 2012, the plant lowered the price to 379 000 r. A very advantageous offer, if we consider that the main competitor Renault Logan (engine 1.6, 102 l.) In the similar configuration costs about 463 000 r.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
Energy intensive, albeit hard suspension, high clearance, advantageous price / equipment ratio, predicted handling, understandable brakes, developed network of dealer centers.

The accumulated gas pedal, noisy on high engine speed, on the line sometimes lack feedback on the steering wheel.

Driving

The main claims to the late reaction to gas and not to the very clear shift shift.

Salon

For a budget car, the interior is quite high quality.

Comfort

Suspension would be softer, yes noise isolation better.

Safety

The results of crash tests Chevrolet Aveo. Alarm is compensated for predictable behavior on the road.

Price

One of best offers On the market.

SPECIFICATIONS

Love - do not love

Practical
Trunk comfortable. The folding backs of the seats form a small "step", but, nevertheless, the long-term transportation is possible.

Confident
165 centimeters road Suit allow without any concerns to move russian roads. But the installation of the Carter protection will not be superfluous.

Safely
A small size of the mirror is pleasing to a good overview without creating a dead zone. It cannot but rejoice the presence of adjustments and heating.

For more than six months, the analogue of Chevrolet Aveo is rolled through the expanses of Ukrainian roads sedan Zaz Vida.. Externally, the car looks the same way, if not counting the names ZAZ, the interior also changed little, however, the central console became a little simpler due to the lack of an audio system, and the steering wheel with four spokes was replaced by a ram with three. Let's take a look at this car.

But VIDA has a more powerful 1.5-liter 109-Strong mEMZ engine The corresponding "Euro-4" standard. This motor is assembled at the prize and half consists of Chinese Chery details, and half-in-Ukrainian. For comparison, on Chevrolet Aveo, which was the "progenitor" VIDA, only 1.2 and 1.4 liters and 84 and 101 engines are installed. horse power respectively.
In Ukraine, the car is sold since the end of February 2012, initially Sedan Vida was going from the Korean components, but now the Zaporizhia car facility moved to full-scale production, which includes stamping, welding, coloring and body assembly on the main conveyor. Due to the fact that the level of localization exceeded 51 percent, and it became possible to appear VIDA in the CIS countries, including in Russia.
A new distribution company will be engaged in the supply of a car to Russia "Zazaltrus"which started its work literally the other day - in April 2012. Previously distribution cars ZAZ. In Russia, Kwingerpuri was engaged in Russia, but after the expiration of the contract with this distributor, Ukrézto, preferred to create your own player in the Russian market.

As the head of the "Zarzavtrus" noted Bogdan Vasilets, a new distributor will continue to work with most dealers, with whom Kvingerrup ", therefore, the sales level of" Zaporozhtsev "will not decrease, moreover, the company expects to take 1.5 percent of the Russian market in 2013 and sell Up to 40 thousand cars per year, and in 2015 overcome the bar in 2 percent. Dealers will be tightened due to the desire of ZAZ to the maximum quality of customer service and strengthen the position of the brand.
What will ultimately present a distributor of ZAZ Vida to Russians?
After the first posts about the early start of VIDA exports on russian market Many were inspired, since in Ukraine a car is sold and with automatic box Transmissions, and at an affordable price. However, it turned out that rejoice early. First of all, we will bring only the variant ZAZ VIDA with the above-mentioned 1,5-liter engine and a 5-speed "mechanical" development GM, which allows you to move with a maximum speed of 170 kilometers per hour. The length of the car is 4310 mm, the width is 1710 mm, and the height is 1505 mm, the volume of the trunk is 320 liters, and with a folded seats - 725 liters.
The base "species" will receive an amplifier of the steering wheel, adjusting the steering column, tachometer, immobilizer, driver airbag, rear fog lights, electric headlight steplain, radio preparation for four dynamics, 14-inch discs and chrome-plated radiator ramp.
In a complete set, the car will additionally be equipped with air conditioning, front electric windows, side mirrors for the color of the body with electric drive and heating, central locking and front "fogging". Head "ZAZ" Nikolay Evdokimenko assured that deliveries top equipment Vida SX, which has an ACP, is scheduled, but it is not clear how long it will have to wait for her appearance in Russia. It is worth noting that for Russia there is a variant of the upper configuration with a 1.5-liter engine, and not with a 1.4-liter, as in Ukraine.
A little later, the option will appear in the body of hatchback with similar characteristics of the motor, but, naturally, the smaller overall dimensions - It is shorter than 390 mm and already for 30 mm, and its trunk has a volume of 175 liters or 735 with the rear seats folded. ZAZ also planned the release of a commercial vida van, the production of which will begin at the end of the year, so that in 2013 it can be expected in Russia.
The most delicious question concerns the price of VIDA in Russia. The cost of the basic version of Russian ZAZ dealers will be 389 thousand rubles ... In other words, VIDA will be more expensive than the Chevrolet Aveo model, on the basis of which it is created.
For the sake of interest, you can try to compare the Ukrainian prices for different configurations of VIDA with what can be in Russia. The basic version costs 90 thousand hryvnias or 330 thousand rubles, an extended option costs 97 thousand hryvnias or 356 thousand rubles, and the top version costs 107 thousand hryvnias or 392 thousand rubles. If ZAZ Vida S really will be sold in Russia by almost 60 thousand rubles more expensive, That and for SX dealers can ask 450 thousand rubles. For reference, the newest generation Chevrolet Aveo sedan with a 1.5-liter 115-strong engine and MCP5 stands in Russia from 444 thousand rubles.
In this regard, some doubts arise in the fact that VIDA sales will be at the height. First of all, because in Russia, sales of ZAZ Chance continues, which in the configuration with the "automatic" costs only 349 thousand rubles. "Zazaltrus" prepared a rather aggressive advertising campaign of ZAZ VIDA, and posters and rollers will be completed with a slogan "and let everything be quenched", which, according to the company, will help improve the position of the novelties.
By the minimal impressions that I managed to get after a pair of circles in the test area "ZAZA", we can say that Vida does not cause disgust - the motor is not noise and works smoothly, the course is soft enough, and the interior is quite convenient. But to make some statements about her quality too early. In Russia, VIDA will be already in May, then Cars.ru will have the opportunity to carry out a full-fledged test drive of this car and even compare it with Chevrolet Aveo. However, already now we can show a video that demonstrates the quality of the VIDA suspension.

In this article, we will deal with the VIDA ZAZ model attractive for buyers, its features, positive and negative qualities, and also learn what the owners say about it.

Where all all began

Zaporizhzhya automotive plant was founded in soviet era And he was engaged in the production of misstant cars of a small class ZAZ "Zaporozhets".

After collapse soviet Union The plant continued the release of this model, but in parallel the production of another car was established - "Tavria", and later and "Slavuta".

But these morally outdated cars were not able to compete with another car small class.

Gradually, the plant switched to the assembly of cars of other manufacturers - Daewoo, Chevrolet, Kia, VAZ.

Revival of production

Recently, Zaporizhia Avtozavod decided to revive his automotive, however, on the basis of developers of its foreign colleagues.

In particular, designers as a basis was taken model Chevrolet. The first generation Aveo, which has rated popularity on the SIS expanses. At its base ZAZ released his model that received the name ZAZ Vida.

The release of this model began in 2012 and continues until now, but due to a number of factors, mainly economic, production goes with interruptions.

But the car still "lives", for sale and go on it.

So, VIDA ZAZ refers to subcompact urban cars. The basis of his first-generation Aveo model is located, but VIDA is somewhat recycled and therefore, on a radiator lattice, it has a corporate nameplate of ZAZ.

Modifications, configuration

Vida is produced in two bodies - sedan and hatchback.

Also for the car there are several complete sets.

The sedan has three - basic Standart, as well as Comfort and top LUX. At hatchback basic configuration not.

Very modest equipment and includes not so much accommodation.

From external marks the presence of disc brakes ahead, the drums are used behind.

From additional lighting equipment there is only the rear anti-fog headlight. Bumper and side mirrors are painted in body color.

Auto Salon in the database is equipped:

• head restraints on all seats;
• heated rear window;
• headlight corrector;
• hydraulic power steering;
• adjustable steering column and one airbag - for the driver.

On this all - modestly, and without any "buns", well at least audio preparation was carried out.

Interestingly, the full audio system at Vida is not even in the top configuration, there is only preparation for its installation.

Comfort equipment.

Already somewhat better at the equipment, although it adds only the front fog and caps on the wheels from elements of the exterior.

But the interior equipment has slightly improved. In stock There are electric windows, but only front, electrically regulating and heated side mirrors, central locking, air conditioning.

Security remained at the same level, that is, there is only one pillow.

Equipment LUX.

Differs from Comfort availability and immobilizer. Additionally, it is possible to equip with 15-inch cast discs.

As for the ABS, in one modification, this system is regular, and for the other - optionally. But about it below.

Even on the basis of the packages, it can be understood that VIDA ZAZ budget car, Therefore, it is not worth counting on the high quality of the assembly, as well as a large amount of equipment.

But in its price range, the car may well compose competition, since other cars for such cost are approximately the same.

The big plus for the species is that the model is a copy of Chevrolet Aveo, which showed itself well on our roads.

Overall parameters

Both vehicles are 5-door and designed for 5 people. But the sedan is longer - 4.325 m against 3.920 m - at hatchback.

The sedan is also wider, this parameter is 1.71 m, and the hatchback - 1.68 m. But in height they are the same - 1.505 m.

Interestingly, the sedan was copied with the first generation AVEO 1, and the hatchback, which appeared later - with Aveo Hatchback 1 generation, but only restyling. Therefore, these two cars externally dislike.

But if you compare the sedan of the view from Aveo, then with differences you can see only small alterations, mostly touched by the radiator grille.

The same approximately concerns the hatchback, they changed only some elements of the exterior.

Power units

Initially, Vida was on sale only with one power unit - 1.5 liter, 8-valve, earning 84 liters. from. This engine is designed in General Motors, in general, borrowed it again with Aveo.

Two more appeared later power plants: 1,4-liter, with 16 valves and 94 liters. from. Power and 1.5-liter, but already 16-valve with a capacity of 109 liters. from.

The first one is also the development of GM, but the 1.5-liter is a joint brainchild of the Melitopol Plant and Chery.

All engines - gasoline, injection, respond to Euro-4 standards.

Engines are considered good as for a subcompact car, although they do not provide outstanding indicators.

But there is an interesting feature, few well-known.

One of the versions of VIDA ZAZ, with the factory modification of the SF69Y0-71, although equipped with the most "weak" engine of all, but its staffing includes, which is a rather interesting course of the manufacturer.

Transmission

The mechanical 5-speed gearbox is the main one, with it all modifications with a 1.5-liter motor.

But the model with a 1.4 liter engine works in a pair with an automatic box, 4 stages.

For the vehicle version with automatic transmission and in the top package, the ABS is offered as an option, but in the database go alloy wheels. All versions drive are only front.

Slightly on operational indicators.

Designers created a car in which high-speed and operational indicators turned out to be contradictory.

For example, the smaller maximum speed Develops a car with a 109th power engine - only 160 km / h.

Engine for 84 liters from. With "Mechanics" dispersed cars up to 170 km / h. But the model with automatic transmission and the 1.4-liter unit allows you to accelerate to 176 km / h. Moreover, these indicators are the same for the sedan, and for the hatchback.

For fuel consumption, the winning is a 109-strong engine, on average it consumes 7.2 liters, a car with automatic transmission consumes 7.3 liters in a mixed cycle, but an 84-strong unit is 7.8 liters in this mode.

As for the rest of the VIDA nodes, then nothing remarkable in them. The front suspension is an independent MacPherson, rear - semi-dependent. Front brakes - disc, rear - drum.

On the technical and structural part, there is also nothing remarkable, everything is completely simple and without excesses, which is the norm for budget cars.

Ownership reviews

Vida entered the sale of VIDA in 2012, and so far no changes to the design has not yet been made, and it is unlikely to be made.

The same car itself is not inferior to many budget counterparts in its technical component.

And how the car showed itself, you can learn from the reviews of the owners below. And the reviews on this car are also positive, and negative.

Positive reviews.

Andrei (Kiev, Ukraine), the engine is 1.5 liters (84 liters. P.), MCPP.

"I purchased Vida as a car for my wife. The choice of this car is explained very simple: any of the brands belonging to the class "B" (the same accent, Fabia, Polo) does not attract me, so why overpay? In addition, I needed a temporary option, which after changing.

This is my not the first car, the focus was isolated by work, Peugeot 207, and in his possession had Logan, Cerato.

The machine was purchased equipped with a pillow, air conditioning, gur, front fog. Additionally bought immediately new rubber, mats and radio.

The running quality of the species is quite balanced. The tail is harsh, but the front suspension is not bad, the pits "swallows" perfectly.

Motor with its 84 liters. from. I am pleased with the line (Peugeot 207 before him).

To the clutch will be accustomed very quickly, it works just charm. The 2nd transmission on the PPC is tight for inclusion, especially with a decrease in the third.

Noise isolation does not differ from cars of this class.

It was zero, during which the oil was changed, filter, guide calipers. In general, this service cost 600 UAH, which is very cheap.

As long as the car is pleased, everything works well. I will exploit. "

Yuri (Balakley, Ukraine), engine 1.5 liters, manual transmission, Comfort.

"Natal is already 13 thousand km, so I can already bring some results regarding the car.

Body, Salon.

No tainting and squeaks in the cabin, everything is relatively quiet. Friends were even interested, how much the additional noise of the car cost, and I did not do it.

Air conditioning in the summer works on "Hurray", in the winter, the stove also showed itself well.

Headlights are just a class.

Middle light even had to lower down. Mounted fog sites during the fog of healthy helped. With its not very small growth in the car I sit down without any problems, there are enough places in front, and the passengers do not get passengers from behind.

Comfortable dashboard, information is easy to read. Comfortable steering wheel switches.

According to fuel consumption, it was not particularly killed, but I will say that they are most likely to match. Just it does not particularly bother me, and reluctance to engage in checks.

The engine is quite a pickup, it makes it easy to go on overtaking or accelerates under the hill.

The car accelerates to 150 km / h, while she still led themselves steadily, there were no vibrations and beats. But for myself I found that the optimal maximum for the view will be 130 km / h.

The suspension is generally soft. I caught a couple of times a lot of pits, and nothing - the racks were withstanding.

I realized that ZAZ of the species is still far from the worst option for his money. And how she will show itself further - see. "

Ivan (Eagle, Russia), 1.5 liters, manual transmission.

"When purchasing a car, the main criteria were low price, simplicity of service and repair, as I am an entrepreneur, and the car feeds me.

Having considered several options, stopped on the ZAZ of the species, because in terms of its characteristics and indicators the car completely satisfied me.

The driving quality of this car was pleasantly surprised, the machine keeps the road well even during the rain.

It was even pleasant to please the consumption of gasoline, this ZAZ is very economical, maneuverable and with good clearance.

The car is easy to maintain and repair, the lack of parts did not notice, everything you need can be reached in any automata.

Externally looks quite elegant. Salon spacious, big windshield Provides good visibility.

The engine is not noisy, the tidy is convenient for review. The decoration of the cabin is weak, but for such money it is hardly possible to get.

The capacity of the cabin and the trunk is at the height, I often have to transport the goods, and accommodate them in the car is not difficult.

In winter, warm in the cabin, the air conditioner also works in summer.

During operation, the machine has no special problems delivered. Recently retocked her headquart and a trailer, which still increased the carrying capacity.

In general, the car is satisfied, and I think that I was not mistaken in the choice. "

It is noteworthy that positive feedback On the Internet will be more than negative.

All owners note that it is fully consistent with their money.

But there is also enough negative moments.

Vladimir (Kobelyaki, Ukraine), 1.5 liters, manual transmission.

"Bought this car In addition to the existing VAZ-2106 and. Moving on cars has often, and on the species including.

After another 10 thousand, the generator and part of the wiring were replaced, brake pads and pipelines, rear wheel bearings.

The engine began to warm up, had to replace the thermostat.

Also began to leak the gearbox.

In general, the car really bursts. Constantly to repair or replace it. I have a "six" there are fewer problems than the kind.

All statements that kind is the same Chevrolet Aveo at all correspond to reality. "

Andrei (Kharkov, Ukraine) 1.5 liters, manual transmission.

"The year has already rolled back on this car. The overall feeling is disappointed. To the main disadvantages, I will immediately note the poor-quality assembly of the cabin.

From the problems with the auto, I will note the bad performance of the windows, plus some knobs appeared in the door when it is turned on.

The engine does not reset turnover after turning off the speed in motion. Several times blood after turning on the air conditioner.

In urban conditions, gasoline consumption at 10 liters, which, in my opinion, is a bit too much, while the fuel sensor works not clearly as.

At a speed above 120 km / h, there is a beat in the steering wheel, the wheel balancing did not help.

A couple of times "shifted" the box could not include rear transmission, the second turned on with difficulty.

There is no noise insulation in the cabin and this is a fact. And these are only the main shortcomings.

In general, to the car high-quality assembly ZAZ species is very far away. "

Let's summarize

Zaporizhia Automotive Plant tried to establish the release of his car again, albeit just coping the already proven model.

But even under such conditions, this car has enough features. Like any other car, ZAZ shows have basic positive and negative qualities.

From positive marks:

1. Small cost;
2. Not bad in terms of power units;
3. Spacious salon;
4. Equipment to ensure comfort (albeit minimum);
5. Availability of spare parts;
6. Ease of repair.

And to negative qualities include:

1. Build quality;
2. No noise insulation;
3. Incorrect readings of the fuel sensor;
4. High consumption in urban conditions;
5. Small flaws that can show ourselves on any day.
Evaluate Article.

Love the owners of the deposit to put morally outdated cars on the conveyor, you don't need to spend money for the development and promotion. Justice It is worth recognizing that many models whose life was continued, becoming popular in economy segment, and some and just bestsellers, for example.

Body design

Speaking about the appearance of ZAZ VIDA state - an exact copy of the previous Chevrolet Aveo with a ZAZ logo on the hood and lid of the trunk.

ZAZ Vida welcoming its passengers with great (as for the B-class) salon. Velisting rule Four spokes (up-down adjustment), conveniently integrated front seats (a pity only microlift is not available) with a good upholstery. The front torpedo of massive size from the ringing cheap plastic, however, as the entire salon. On the central console, ordinary controls, music is not offered, only audio preparation. On the front row We will place comfortably people in 190 cm. In the second row, due to the highly installed seat pillow, passengers are conveniently sitting, together with excess space. The third will not be superfluous only when moving for short distances.

Test Drive

A car with a rigid suspension, especially on wheels R15. Chassis perfectly copes with the irregularities of the roadbed, but vibration and punches are transmitted to the salon, as in other times and noise from the wheeled arches and the bottom.
