Volga Saiber 2. Volga Siber: Reviews. Volga Siberis: Specifications, Tuning. Exterior of the car and dimensions

Hello everyone! My name is Alexander, I am 26 years old. In November 2010 Became the happy owner of Volga Saiber. The car bought for everyday use in the city and to go beyond its limits. Chose the focus, from 1.6 on the stick nafig is not needed, the epic is empty, nafig in the norms of configuration with the engine 2.5 expensive. Polo sedan small, rough. Sonata (Tagaz) is a good comfortable car, but not very much. Therefore, my choice fell on the Volga Saiber in which the Volga is one name because this car licensed Chrysler Sebring was produced by DaimlerChrysler in 2000-2006. So Siber Mercedes almost \u003d) collected from American sets on their equipment. I took it in the salon in St. Petersburg for 516 000 r. under the disposal program. Complete set 2.4 AT LUX EL. Power windows All, leather interior with perforation, automatic transmission, avs, traction control, email. Driver's seat adjustment in 10 positions, condo, heated seats, regular music 6 columns with MP3 and amplifier, headlight washer, heated mirrors and electric mirrors, mirrors in visors with backlight, salon rearview mirror with automatic darkening, leather steering, leather armrest, rear sofa armrest, folding seats, alloy wheels R16, full-size spare litted disk. Cruise control I. on-board computer Installed separately. Motor is a simple atmospheric, quite powerful chrysler 2.4L16V Euro 4, 143 l / s torque 210 N * m. Gasoline 92Y by passport, consumption in the city through traffic jams 15 l / 100km, all that is less, then the myth, for a car weighing more than 1.5t with automatic transmission and 2.4l motor. I consider normal phenomenon. Consumption in a mixed cycle of 10.5 l / 100km. Track 8.3l / 100km on BC at a speed of 110-120 with overtakes up to 160 km / h. Automatic transmission 4 stupas. Ultradrive Te41 adaptive, sequential type. Switching smooth and without jerks. Shumka medium lousy. In the summer it is cold (Condes copes in any heat), in winter it is hot. Salon is spacious, everything is at hand, the review is a good instrument panel (turquoise lighting panel of the instrument, leads to delight) landing in the driver's seat comfortable, my height is 187 cm. The driver's seat is pulled out until the end and rear is placed without problems. The space between the head and the roof is 10 cm. If you wish, you can lower the seat even lower. The clearance is normal, in the snowy winter in the courtyards stuck a little. When parking and in motion around the city of inconveniences due to solid dimensions I do not feel, the rear review is better than Jetti. Drive front, front and rear suspensions multi-dimensional on powerful subframes, clearly smoothly and without breakdown swallows all irregularities. Shed Pokworn Nigrol, after the rain it is not necessary \u003d). In winter, it starts without problems, the battery did not change. Winter road Holds like a tank, do not care porridge, a porridge and side wind. Traveled 2000km per day. On the track as on the ship slightly swaying on the waves, in the cabin as in the home chair. There are no problems on overtakers, 80-170 km / h gains tearing. Dynamics before hundreds would like more, according to my meters of 11 seconds to 100 km / h. Basic motors are spinning faster. But in Highwemy, competitors are only with engines from 2.5 liters. Maxim accelerated 200 km / h. Prices for original consumables Chrysler (MOPAR) according to the current standards of a penny, filter Oil 200r. filter automatic transmission 500r. In general, on the car I want to go, comfortable, reliable, easy and cheap maintenance. Girls also like everyone's first impression: "Fu-at Volga ... Some shit!" When they roll: "Class ... and on the highway super." I myself work as an auto mechanic, in cars I understand and in girls too. Our opinion is our development or not our, new or old today, not yet relevant, it has long been invented for a long time, and I always want to sell cars, therefore marketers and designers who are easy to move hands (hanging a rag on a torpedo) turn the old shit in a new one , And we all have been haeming and for big money. Many cars concern cooperate with each other. And like Ford Nor Ford and Chevrolet Nor Chevrolet Famous World Practice. It is only Koreans with the Chinese all steal. In the magazines "Auto Review" and "Driving" about Saiber, 50% is written not to the truth from the experience of work, I come across different machines. These magazines are focused on advertising foreign cars, they do not work professionally, compare different segments, lead not reasonable facts and hang lime labels. As a specialist I do not recommend when choosing a car, guided by the articles of these magazines. My opinion is that Saiber was originally doomed to failure. Purplified the plant, received subsidies from the state, money was laundered, they helped the Pindos to mark 10 thousand unnecessary machines and closed quietly. Then they concluded for 8 years, a more profitable contract with Volkswagen Rus Groups. The legendary domestic brand Volga, it is not necessary to shy. This is a car-story, this is not one era of our homeland. So this car will take its honorable place in the museum in a row with seagulls and victories and will live in our hearts forever.

Release this car It was started back in 2008 and lasted only a couple of years. Already in 2010, mass production was closed. Why? Probably due to low purchasing demand for this car, but about it a little later. Indeed, on the roads, he meets not so often, and it is known about such a "beast" a little. Let's consider the main consumer feedback in this article. Volga Saibiber still earned the attention of a particular category of population and still remains popular.

Back to the Future

Saiber can not be called exclusively domestic car. The fact is that the equipment of the American plant "Chrysler" was bought by gas representatives. Moreover, Volga Sibiber is a complete copy of such cars as Chrysler Sebring, "Dodge Stratus". The key changes affected only the front and rear bumpers, as well as optics, which was somewhat recycled and improved. To adapt to Russian roads, engineers of Gorkovsky car factory It was necessary to increase the stiffness of the suspension, as well as make the handling more accurate. Recycled and all attachments that received metric threads. With an inch work was extremely uncomfortable, and at the factory it took into account.

Why, actually, the Americans sold the equipment gas? The thing is that neither "Stratus" nor Sebring received due attention to the United States and sold quite sluggish. In general, these were cars for the poor. They were often used in police or taxis. But it is impossible to say that cars are bad. No, there are a number of them strong Partieswhich we will definitely talk, but now go further.

Start of sales in Russia

At the end of March 2008, there was a launch of the first car party Volga Siber. They were supplied to major corporate customers, such as banks, state structures, power departments, etc. But in October, retail sales started. As for localization, as already noted above, the front and external parts were recycled and rear bumper, as well as optics and rearview mirrors. In the cabin, too, there were small changes. In particular, the dashboard was no longer in miles, but kilometers as it should be. Its in general tried to change that it turned out very well. Also, small refinement touched the interior of the cabin.

The main spare parts (Volga Sibiber), for example, cold-rolled steel for the body, were transported from the USA. This also applies to many parts of the suspension and engine systems. Own production of components was planned only in the case of high sales and better quality of domestic parts compared to those brought from America.

Expectations were not justified

If you look at consumer feedback. Volga Sibiber is a very good car both externally and technical part. But sales in Russia unequivocally did not go. In 2008, the plant planned to release approximately 10,000 cars, in 2009 already 45,000, and then 65,000. But in fact, 1717 models were collected in 2008, from them not more than 430. Already in 2009, the first information appeared On the closure of production due to unprofitability. Lead data were confirmed. In the first 6 months of 2009, only 445 cars were manufactured, after which mass production was suspended.

But soon a state order was received for 500 cars for the police and the Ministry of Emergency Situations. In addition, VOLGA Siber was sold, which was in dealer centers Different cities. At the end of 2009, only 2151 models were made. In 2010, another about 5,000 copies were released, after which October 31, due to insufficient demand and unprofitable production, the release was stopped. During the time it was sold about 9,000 models. All this, of course, is good, but this car is not allowed to call reviews. Volga Saibey, according to the owners, much better than many modern cars. Is it really, we now see.

Exterior of the car and dimensions

We have a medium-sized sedan, which is most often attributed to the D-class. The body length is 4.85 meters, which is very much. Nights are long, which is rather a lack than an advantage. Due to large dimensions and soles, as well as the absence of parking sensors, at first, many cling to everything you can. This also contributes to the clearance, which is only 140 mm. Usually for russian roads It increases, but here the developers decided to leave everything as it is. That is why it is recommended immediately after the purchase put the protection of the box and the engine.

As for the optics, then everything is very fiscal and without unnecessary delights. Halogen front I. rear lights, no diodes and other things. True, there are fog, which removes a dark spot near the car while driving on far Light. Special attention should be paid to the fact that the hood smoothly goes into windshield. Because of this, torpedo in the cabin is just huge, and numerous consumer reviews are also talking about it. Volga Siberis looks very aggressive, so there is a small hint of sport, which is especially important in a pair with a 2.7 liter engine.

American simply

The car "Volga Siber" has a very improving sizes. This is the most directly affected the number of space in the cabin. Its more than enough. Even 3 adults sitting on the back sofa may feel very good. As for the driver and front passenger, they were lucky even more. Electrically regulating seats along the angle of inclination and departure allows you to choose the most convenient position. In addition, despite the small cost of the car, the seats have side support. Often it is not on more expensive models.

Concerning dashboard, then everything is simple, but at the same time conveniently. The central console is the simplest. There is an air conditioner control unit and a stove, and a little lower than the radio and SD changer. The plastic of the top of the torpedo is soft enough, it applies to the door cards. Mostly there is no complaints about the cabin. Yes, it is not like modern cars, there is not so many electronics here, but it is spacious, and driving you feel very comfortable and confident. Nevertheless, there is everything necessary, namely:

• illumination of mirrors on visors;
• electricalization of the rearview mirror;
• electrically regulating mirrors;
• electrically regulating driver's seat;
• air conditioning;
• audio system;
• ABS, ESP;
• on-board computer and diagnostics from the key.

Considering that the price tag on this car Not so big, then it is more than enough complete set. But this is still not all that can offer us a Volga Siber. The engine is another distinguishing feature of this car.

Motor selection - 2.0, 2.4 or 2.7?

Originally planned to offer the buyer a choice of three power units. This is 2.0 liter 2.0 liter power. horse power In a pair of S. mechanical box Transmissions. Most powerful motor - V6 2.7 to 203 liters. With. who would allow his owner to fully feel the power of American power units.

But the realities were somewhat different, and developers had to abandon the mass production of cars with a 2.0 and 2.7 engine. Only "Chryslerah" motor 2.4 liters with a capacity of 152 horsepower remained. But for achievement environmental norms Euro-4 Motor "strangled", and the amount of horsepower fell to 143. Initially, the Volga Siberian plant was produced only with the automatic 31TE gearbox gearbox, which is also considered to be completely American development. But in the future, the consumer began to offer a 5-speed mechanics.

Reviews about it are ambiguous. The box is very thoughtful and is not very popular, and it is difficult to call it difficult. Engine 2.7 makes a car more athemist, but this power aggregate There are also their cons. First, the timing of chain type is expensive and with a stretching is very noise. Secondly, the oil must be changed as often as possible, since oil starvation for 2.7 is not uncommon. Most often he fails because of this.

Are there any problems with repair?

American cars on russian market Do not enjoy great demand. Due to it high cost Spare parts that need to be ordered from the USA. But now it has become a little simpler. In major cities there are special online stores that allow you to buy original spare parts and their analogues for American cars and Volga Siberia. By itself, "Volga" in service - the cheapest pleasure. The car suspension provides maximum comfort while driving, but is very complex. For example, to replace the rear upper ball supports you need to remove the subframe. For one side, many hundred are asked from one thousand rubles. With such sobs, parts are obtained cheaper than work.

There are no problems with the engine. This is an extremely reliable American motor with a huge resource. Up to overhaul, with due care, approximately 200-300 thousand kilometers passes. The automatic box is also quite reliable and verified. Its maintenance is often limited to the replacement of the block of solenoids and oil with a filter. Some details of the suspension and body parts are manufactured at the gas plant, so their price tag is more than acceptable. Considering that the original goes for quite a long time, then it can be spent once.

American dimension

It is no secret that the United States is very valued spacious powerful cars. The spacious "sebring" and "stratus" can be called, but powerful - with a stretch. An inline 4-cylinder motor shows itself quite well. But "Volga Siber", specifications Which we reviewed, is more suitable for moderate ride. A sharp start is definitely not for this car. But fully the whole essence of the car is manifested when driving on the highway. Dynamics even after 140 km / h is not lost, and the car goes on acceleration. As for aerodynamics, due to the "zalisacy" of the front of the car and low ground clearance at speed, the machine sticks to the road and keeps very confident.

This is such she - "Volga Siber". The technical characteristics of the car can not be called outstanding, but even today it is a worthy competitor to expensive Asian and European cars. Of course, in some moments "Volga" lags behind, and in others, on the contrary, leads. Take, for example, spare parts. Volga Sibiber in this regard is no more expensive "Hyundai Solaris" or "Kia Rio". But sometimes surprised the overestimated prices for the work of masters in car services. In general, it is good car. Let's look at what consumers of this car tell.

Volga Saibiber 2.4: Advantages

Many motorists really love this car. It is worth noting that on the quality of his assembly, the fact that most of American spare parts. The resource of their work is much more domestic or Chinese details. That is why many consider "Volga" very reliable vehicle. Attention deserves and car body. It is galvanized and made of cold-rolled steel. It is impossible to call it "foil". The high strength and safety of the driver and the passenger is perfectly visible on the crash tests. Large distance from front bumper The driver often saves life. In addition, there are 4 airbags (front and side curtains).

Well, the most attention is getting the chassis. High smooth stroke and excellent suspension work on small potholes. As a result, small irregularities are not felt at all. With a good suspension, the car is perfect in turns with minimal rolls. If stabilizers or shock absorbers fail, then challenges significantly deteriorate. Therefore, it is desirable to repair the Volga Siberian "Volga" as soon as possible to return the former self-confidence on the road. Well, now let's go further and consider the basic disadvantages of this car. They are too enough here, even though many have become accustomed to not pay attention to them.

Cons you need to know

First of all, I would like to note that low clearance, only 140 mm, does not allow driving roads. In addition, the machine has not the most reliable and strong suspension. A large number of ball supports, followed by constantly monitoring, can become a big trouble on the road. Often original details Very high-quality and long go, which cannot be said about the substitutes for the car "Volga Sibiber". Tuning this car is almost inactive, since there is almost no body kit. Another disadvantage is weak noise insulation. Sometimes it seems that it is not at all. Noise is particularly heard from under wheel arches. But this constructive disadvantage is easy to eliminate independently. If you do a car, you can significantly improve acoustic comfort and sound quality music system.

It is worth saying that the battery is inconvenient. Volga Sibiber, "Dodge Stratus" and "Chrysler Sebring" are designed in such a way that the ACB is installed under the front wing. To remove the battery, you must unscrew the wheel to the extreme right position, remove the liner and only then dismantle the battery. Not very comfortable, especially if something happens in winter. But you can "see" from under the hood. There are minus and positive terminals. As you can see, the design is not devoid of deficiencies, but there are no significant minuses.

Let's summarize

Many drivers leave their positive and negative feedback. Volga Saibiber is simply repaired with her own hands. This is its advantage. At the same time, it has impressive sizes. Volga Saibey long almost five meters long. Of course, this is a space and comfort in the cabin, but for a metropolis and parking lots in a limited place car does not fit. But everything comes with experience, so do not focus on this particular attention.

There is another minus that was not considered in this article. He lies in the fact that the steering rack is attached to the subframe. This led to the fact that idling Vibrations are transmitted to the steering wheel. Along with the torn engine pillows, it causes discomfort and discomfort. It is worth paying attention to another detail. Volga Sibiber does not like overheating. Motor head aluminum and afraid high temperatures. When boiling can be a metal. In this case will have to do overhaul. Approximately 70% of engines fail due to overheating. The remaining 30% falls on untime replacement motor oil And incorrect maintenance.

The main problem of this car is chassis. For other items, everything is in order. Currently, "Saiber" can be purchased in a normal state. But you need to search. Remember that the mileage of 100-200 thousand kilometers for this motor is not the limit. It has two repair sizes and goes up to 800,000 kilometers. Today, about 250-300 thousand rubles you can buy a Volga Saiber 2008-2010 of the release with a mileage of approximately 100,000 kilometers. More importantly, how the car was served. In particular, it is worth paying attention to the state of the chassis and the motor as a whole.

"Volga Siber" - expectations and reality

Be or not to be legend? Such a truly Hamletovsky question stood before the participants of the test drive of the new generation "Volga". No, now "VOLGA SIBER". We will probably not meet the usual Cyrillic writing. Naively compare the old "Volgovsky" basis with a fairly modern platform of the Chrysler Sebring car, albeit the previous generation that came to shift. Speech about a friend - will the adherents of the classic model in the novelty will find all those positive features to which they managed to get used to? Will old chronic shortcomings and "diseases" go? To resolve all doubts, the test drive organizers laid the route according to traditional "habitats" of Volga buyers - both in Moscow prospectuses and small Russian towns.

... a taxi caused by late in the evening after the testril, by coincidence, turned out to be an old good "Volga" gas -3110. Having settled on the back sofa, I unwittingly began to compare the usual feeling of a familiar car with the debutant, which was driving this day. Yes, "Barzha" new "Volga Siber" will no longer call. Instead of an impressive domestic business sedan, we received a commotable "middling" of the family class. However, the "Siber" is still quite spacious, it can confirm even our photocomputer, which manages to sign the head of the editorial council. He was quite comfortable as front seatand in the rear sofa. In short, there are no special problems for passengers. Nevertheless, under the low-headed Chrysler's roof, psychologically feel no way as comfortable as under the bulk dome of the former Volga.

I am a short and freely posing in almost any car, except for children's pedal. Therefore, it's not the slightest work on the wheel of the "VOLGA Siber". Moreover, we have provided cars exclusively in the top modification of "LUX", the driver's seat of which is equipped with electric regulators in ten directions. (In the database, the servo is also there - but the directions are only six.) But for several days earlier, at the Moscow Motor Show, our colleague, a man is very large, with difficulty squeezed behind the wheel, even with a completely militant driver's seat. But then the case is not in growth, but, delicately expressing, in non-standard proportions of the comrade. The stomach ate all the place up to the steering wheel. But for passenger chair Servoregulation is not provided at all. This is a typical American trait, because in the states the car is often bought to move only one person - so why spend money on unnecessary options? But on the "Volga" often ride with a personal driver, and passengers, especially the nomenclature workers, in Russian habit love to sit in the front seat. So, perhaps, the electric drives would not prevent them.

The simple key does not correspond to the "luxury" configuration.

Go ahead. It seems like a luxury equipment, and the key is the most common - without retractable "sting", not to mention the "radios". You have to open the door manually, and then press the central lock button already from the salon, so that the rest of the passengers can sit down. Not too convenient, especially taxi drivers and hired drivers. The trunk opens with a button in the cabin and ... lever inside the very luggage compartment. This decision has passed unchanged from American cars, because in the United States the opportunity to open the trunk from the inside is a mandatory requirement. At the same time, the volume of the trunk is inferior to "Volgovsky", 453 liters are placed in it. For family needs, it is quite enough, and for a taxi, perhaps, no.

In the salon of the former "Volga" there is a kind of old-fashioned comfort, as in the grandmother bedroom. But supporters of healthy conservatism will not be disappointed and the current model. I catch myself on the cramole thoughts, they say, it is even good that the basis was not at all new car. From the lines of salon "Volga Siber", very far from current trends, itifies some kind of "marriage" tranquility and thoroughness. This manifests even in trifles. Here is an American simple air conditioner regulator - the upper picto grams near the round handle are white, it is a simple blowing, the bottom blue is an artificial cold. Lefte is located two of the same harsh - adjustment of temperature and fan speed. Even the child will figure out. And there are many such little things. Equipping the car is quite good.

The speedometer has retained additional marking in "miles per hour."

Even in the "low" configuration "Comfort" there are front airbags with several stages of filling, external rear view mirrors with electric drive, heating and automatic darkening, servoregulation driver's seat six directions iSOFIX fastenings For children's chairs and so on. That's just the "smell of a new car" in the cabin is very peculiar. Pet lovers as one stated that it smells ... dry feline food. I can give a free advice to the sellers in car dealerships - certainly hang in the car flavoring "Christmas tree", and there, you look, the smell will deteriorate ...

From the outside the design of the revelation you can not call. It clearly looks like the features of the old good "Chrysler sebring", although a bit overflowing. Due to the cost savings, the main body panels left unchanged. Nevertheless, the designers managed to approach the "Volgovsky" style by introducing a massive chrome-plated radiator lattice and to get away from direct associations with Chrysler by burning headlights. But behind and in profile basic model It is definitely guessed. It must be said that even in the Church of the Tver Region, where a significant part of the test passed, the people were pretty very savvy in the field of automotive knowledge. Disclaimers "Chrysler ..." is accompanied by a constantly, ranging from the ages of Ma slices and ending with the dimensions of tractor drivers.

From the salon "Volga Siber" blows some kind of "marriage" tranquility and thoroughness.

The usual habitat

The four-band "automatic" is equipped with a function manual switching, But it does not improve overclocking.

On the noise insulation "Volga Siber", its creators were clearly saved ... But this, of course, is not a taxi, in which I returned home, exploding on the overtakers with a low roar with tin obverseons. Most of all the annoying buzz in the salon "Siber" manifests itself in typical city velocity about 60 km / h. Obviously, in such conditions there is a special resonance. According to subjective sensations, at 120 km / h in the cabin, even quieter, but will you often ride so quickly? The front panel is especially rattling - the quality of its plastic is far from the ideal. Against the background of the leather cabin and other luxury parts is a tangible minus. By the way, the plastic panel itself, although solid, like most of the Americans, but not so cheap.

As for overtaking, they don't want to abuse them at all. I repeat, only the top-complete set, equipped with a row 2,4-liter "four" with a capacity of 143 hp In a pair with a four-stage "automatic". However, as well as on the classic "Volga", you will not be able to drive the "Siber" either. Acceleration is quite sluggish. According to documents 13.4 s to "hundreds", and in sensations - and more. With overtaking, if we press the gas pedal to the floor, the "kikdown" will read the engine, but the engine protestingly squeals, which also does not add acoustic comfort, but overclocking is so-so. Although automatic box And equipped with the "AutoStick" function with the possibility of manual switching, push it to the right and left either soon bored. Dynamics does not particularly improve this, and when the limit revolutions reach the box, the "Up" switches. The most interesting thing is that the version with the "mechanics" is more than a couple of seconds, with a smaller volume of the engine. And in power, the two-liter version is inferior to the older model of only 2 hp The difference in the torque is also not so large - respectively, 188 nm at 4.350 rpm and 210 nm at 4.200 rpm. Therefore, I can assume that it is the 2-liter modification "Siber" it will be the main demand for buyers due to better dynamics, lower fuel consumption and not such a high price.

Air conditioner regulators are simple, but comfortable.

... On direct and empty Moscow prospects, my taxi retains the course of unshakable, as if the train. Keep straight than the old "Volga" can. New - too. Long country tracks without overtaking and frequent rebuildings is her element. "Volga Siber" confidently goes forward and does not grow on sides even at a speed of 180 km / h and not even at the best asphalt. Burning ... When leaving the secondary road "Not the best" coating turned into a disgusting - with numerous potholes and pits. Here he is "slalom in Russian." Here is the former "Volga" with its archaic steering and spring rear suspension Behind us would not please. "Siber", of course, is not a sports car, but cares the obstacles to two orders of magnitude better than the predecessor. At least breathing with me even and spin is not wet, considering that Buaerakov had to drive not one ten kilometers.

The next segment of the route passed on dry, but broken primer with a multitude of Rytvin and "Waves". At first I went in good faith with every hole, but soon I won too bad, and I ventured to go directly. In vain! The car began to shake as in the fever. The suspension for such conditions was too damable, and the clearance of 14 cm is clearly enough. The old "Volga" in these conditions would immediately play all the lost glasses. So if the Gasovs are counting on sales in our outback, without further "Russification" suspension can not do.
