ZAZ "View" is a compact C-class sedan, produced on Zaporizhia Auto Plant. In fact, the "kind" is a copy of the Sherlet Aveo known to all in the 250th body. The exception is only the emblem on the radiator grille and the name in the TCP. The beginning of the production of the car ZAZ "View" began in 2012. This machine is still produced so far without any changes. What did she get so widespread? Let's look at what kind of ZAZ "species" reviews and specifications.
Appearance
As we have noted earlier, the car is a Ukrainian copy "Aveo". This is the same recognizable sedan with smooth lines, neat optics and laconic bumpers. The design of the car ZAZ "View" in 2017 looks a little "tired". However, this car does not cause rejection.
As for the body sizes, the machine fully complies with its class. The car's length is 4.31 meters, width - 1.71 m, height - 1.51 m. Wheel base - almost 2 and a half meters. Road clearance of "Views" is the same as those of Aveo. It is equal to 16 centimeters. The car has short sinks, due to which it copes perfectly with irregularities on the roads. Wide arches allow you to fit the wheels with a diameter of up to 16 inches.
Salon
Inside the car ZAZ "View" looks as simple as possible and budget. Of course, for such a price to wait for something special. There is a "delicate" panel in front, two air ducts are located in the center and the climate control unit.
The steering wheel is a three-job, without additional remote control buttons (although in "Solaris" and "Kia Rio" it is already a basic equipment). How qualitatively is the car ZAZ "View"? Reviews say the quality of the finish is at a normal level. On the way the car is modeled noisy. There are no obvious squeaks and "crickets". This showed a test drive.
ZAZ "View" is equipped with simple seats without pronounced lateral support. Reviews say that at long distances, the spin is very tired. Upholstery is only tissue, even in maximum equipment. There is enough space for two adult passengers in the back. The trunk at the car ZAZ "species" is quite spacious (400 liters), which drivers repeatedly say. The rear back of the sofa can be in the proportion of 40:60. This allows you to increase the useful volume up to 725 liters. Under the trunk floor there is a full-sized sparecloth and a set of keys.
Specifications
There are three power units of different power in the line of engines. All of them are gasoline, equipped with a five-speed mechanic or "automatic".
Let's start with the youngest motor. This is a two-liter, 8-valve power unit with a capacity of 84 horsepower. The maximum torque is 128 nm. Characteristics of the speakers is frankly weak, which is talking about test drive. ZAZ "View" with this motor accelerates to hundreds in 14 seconds.
"View" 1.4
Next in the ruler there is a 16-valve motor. Despite the smaller volume (1.4 liters), it develops a good power - 94 hp Torque is 130 nm at 3400 vol. This is the only power unit that is available with an automatic transmission for 4 steps (and maximum equipment).
In the average configuration, this car is equipped with a two-liter 16-valve motor with a capacity of 109 horsepower. The maximum torque of the aggregate is 140 nm. True, this engine has to spin well before it picks the desired power, drivers say. A five-speed manual transmission works in a couple with this aggregate. Acceleration to hundreds is 11 seconds. The maximum speed is 170 kilometers per hour. The average fuel consumption is seven liters. This is a very decent indicator. With the "automatic" things are different. Here the minimum flow starts with eight liters, and only in rustic mode.
Prices and equipment
Officially, the car ZAZ "View" was delivered to the Russian market only two years. In the summer of 2014, he left Russia and is now available only in the secondary market. Depending on the configuration and year of release, this car can be purchased for 200-300 thousand rubles.
In the domestic market (in Ukraine) ZAZ "View" is produced and sold so far. The car is offered in several sets:
- standard;
- comfort;
- suite.
The initial price for the car in basic equipment is 260 thousand hryvnia (585 thousand rubles). Basic equipment includes the following set of options:
- electro-heating rear window;
- rear fog lights;
- headlights;
- decorative caps and 14-inch stamped wheels.
Comfort equipment is available at a price of 285 thousand hryvnia (590 thousand rubles). For this price, you buy a 1.5-liter car with a 5-speed manual box. In addition to standard options, this configuration is present:
- front windows on electric drive;
- hydraulic steering amplifier;
- air conditioning;
- front fog lights;
- airbag on the driver's side;
- electric heating and adjusting side mirrors;
- steering column with mechanical adjustment.
The maximum luxury is offered at a price of 317 thousand hryvnia (650 thousand rubles). This includes a 1,4-liter engine and an automatic transmission. Wheels - cast, 15 inches. The level of equipment is practically the same as in the comfort of comfort, with the exception of the immobilizer and two rear power windows.
Regardless of the configuration, the machine uses front disc brakes and rear drums. Although many automakers have already abandoned such a scheme and use disk brakes "in a circle".
Conclusion
So, we figured out what kind of car ZAZ "species" characteristics, reviews and prices. In the domestic market, this car is the most popular. In Russia, it does not cope with the competition of such world manufacturers as Kia and Hendai. Zaporizhzhya "species" is significantly inferior to them according to safety characteristics and level of equipment. For these reasons, the car went from the Russian market in 2014. Whether to buy it now - a rather controversial question. The car is very outdated externally. Specifications remained at the level of the 2000s. If you take this car, then only in the secondary market. But it is not new for 600-700 thousand rubles.
Transmission of the outdated, but popular model in developing countries is common practice, especially in the budget segment. Hatchback ZAZ VIDA is another such car. In the design of the body and in the salon there are no noticeable changes, with the exception of factory emblems. The localization of components in Ukraine at the beginning of production in March 2012 was 15%, but should grow to 51. First of all, these body panels and interior details, and in the future, the running and power unit.
For Ukrainian buyers, already four versions of motors are available: two "native" Korean (1.4 and 1.5 l), Melitopol (1.3 l) and Chinese (1.5 liters). In Russia, it is still officially available only one version with the latest in the engine list and 5-speed "mechanics". The same is installed on the Forza (analogue of Chinese Chery M11) - another model that comes back from the ZAZ conveyor.
Equipment VIDA-hatchback in Russia is also the only one - SX, in which one airbag, a hydraulic power supply and an adjustment of the steering wheel in two directions, air conditioning, front electric windows, audio preparation (four speakers and antenna), central locking with Du and fog lights.
In my opinion...
Despite the fact that I was not personally delighted with the second generation Aveo, I can not not recognize: such cars are very in demand - it is silly to argue with the fact that the price / quality ratio is successful. Vida is a completely decent cheaper clone. It is not surprising that while preserving the design of the plastics became simpler (it turns out, it is possible), and the only one (for now) is very modest equipment. Even radio - additional equipment for a fee. But it strains not this (what price is such a level of equipment), and the engine. I personally did not inspire confidence: it works noisily, rigidly (in Vazovskaya) will start not with "Polpinka". On our particular car, after a half-hour trip, the motor was insecably kept the turnover and tormented to stall. I do not remember that the Korean engines have such sins. As for the rest, the "source", and the "copy" - one field of berries: the third variety is not a marriage.
In my opinion...
Feeling Dejaub: The baby Aveo of the last generation under the larger ZAZ externally did not change, but the poor salon of the "original source" was just poor. However, on the go on a total budget, you quickly forget. I liked the energy-intensive suspension - it perfectly digested the road junctions and large Colds. Independent effort on the steering wheel and the speed of reactions will incite frequent rebuilding in urban sustroca. Landing comfortable. I did not find body flams in Zaporizhia assembly, there are no creak and funks in motion. Idyll lasted until the first Moscow traffic jam - dug up speeds at idle, engine several times. I admit that this is the problem of a specific instance and everything can be corrected by the sensor replacement or firmware update. However, the confusion shook the long-forgotten phobia of the owner of the domestic car. In general, Vida left a pleasant impression. But will she be a bestseller in an affordable segment? For the same money you can take Renault Logan in a similar configuration. What's worse for Vida, the Korean "original" of the next generation, sedan Chevrolet Aveo, it is more expensive. I believe that this is a fully acquittal for innovation and modern design.
In my opinion...
Looks vida / aveo, though deliberately budget, but even more or less modern. Rides about the same. Mainly a claim to ergonomics. The right knee rests on the swollen central console, and move back - the steering wheel is far away. If there is some mechanism, then it should work, perform its function, and not just attend a tick in the specification. Especially if we are talking about an inexpensive folk car. This is me now about the cupboard - it is impossible to use them. Well, in fact, ZAZ has nothing to do with it: "What was, then I loved," as it comes in the famous song. But the assembly quality would not hurt to work. For example, throw back the back seat, pulling the eye, never happened. Whether the strength was not enough, whether the mechanism was subdinyl. Dolohirt did not become - we believe on the floor.
Subcompact sedan ZAZ Vida is nothing but a "licensed copy" of the Chevrolet Aveo model with intra-water marking "T250", which differs from the "source" only with nameplates.
The serial production of a three-bidder at the capacities of the Zaporizhia Automotive Plant started in the early 2012th, and at the end of the summer of the same year at the Moscow Auto show, it appeared its updated version with the "Facelift" prefix, transformed externally and inside (which, unfortunately, to the conveyor So I did not get).
Externally, ZAZ Vida is an almost accurate copy of Aveo. This is a pretty sedan with smooth body forms, laconic bumpers, neat lighting and pronounced arches of the wheels. According to today's standards, the car looks slightly outdated, but the rejection does not make sure of it.
With their dimensions of "species", it clearly meets the concepts of the B-segment for European standards: 4310 mm in length, 1505 mm in height and 1710 mm wide. The wheelsets at the three-bidder can accommodate 2480 mm among themselves, and under its bottom there is a 160-millimeter clearance.
The interior of the ZAZ Vida simple and spartanish is simple, but from a purely budget car of any kind and do not expect: a concise, but readable panel of instruments, an uncomplicated three-spoke steering wheel and a frequency central console, on which there are only two air ducts, a slot under the radio yes three Climate system regulator. The decoration of the sedan is decorated cheap, but quite good materials, and the quality of the assembly is generally at a normal level.
Inside "species" there is enough free space for four adults, even without a special stock. All seats have a very welcoming profile, while the front is also regulated in a wide longitudinal range.
Within the framework of the B-Class, the ZAZ VIDA trunk is quite a decent - 400 liters in the "hiking" state. The rear sofa, divided into two sections in a ratio of 40:60, is developing, increasing the available volume to 725 liters, but forms a noticeable step. In the "cellar" of the cargo compartment - the full "spare" and the tool you need to install it.
Specifications. Under the hood "Types" work exclusively gasoline four-cylinder units (in total three) with row layout and fuel injection distributed:
- The starting option is the 8-valve "atmospheric" volume of 1.5 liters (1498 cubic centimeters), which develops 84 "stallions" at 5600 rev / minute and 128 nm of torque at 5,600 rev / minute and completing 5-speed "mechanics".
- Further on the hierarchy follows 1.4-liter (1399 cubic centimeters) Motor with a 16-valve TRM, the potential of which has 94 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 130 Nm peak thrust at 3400 rpm. Only he in Tandem relies the automatic transmission of four bands.
- "He heads the power palette" 16-valve "of 1.5 liters (1497 cubic centimeters), which generates 109" horses "at 6000 rpm and 140 nm affordable returns at 4500 rpm. Like the "junior" unit, it interacts with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Depending on the modification of the spot to 100 km / h, the ZAZ VIDA sedan takes 11-14 seconds, extremely accelerates to 160-170 km / h and "drinks" not more than 7.2-7.8 liters of fuel in mixed conditions for each "honey".
"View" extends on the front-wheel drive "trolley" with a longitudinally installed in the front part of the engine and the body, in which high-strength steel grades are widely used (they account for 46%). The chassis in the car is organized by typical scheme typical for the B-class: the McPherson racks are installed in front, and a semi-dependent architecture with an elastic beam (transverse stabilizers are used on both axes) are applied.
The Rack Steering Mechanism on the Ukrainian sedan is supplemented with a hydraulic control amplifier, and its braking component is represented by the ventilated "pancakes" on the front and drum devices on the rear axle (ABS only as an option).
Package and prices. In the summer of 2014, ZAZ Vida left Russia, and is now available only on the secondary market at a price of 220 thousand rubles and higher (according to the beginning of 2017).
At home, the car of 2017 is sold in the "Standard", "Comfort" and "Lux" equipment - its value starts from 261,450 hryvnias (~ 585 thousand rubles at the current course). In the "state", the sedan is equipped with a single airbag, an amplifier of the steering wheel, with steel disks with a dimension of 14 inches and adjustable in height of the steering column.
For the "top" version of dealers are asking for 316,230 hryvnia (~ 708 thousand rubles), but its equipment is much more attractive (in addition to the above-mentioned equipment): air conditioning, 15-inch alloy "rollers", two power windows, fog lights and external heating mirrors and electric tools.
Specifications ZAZ VIDA(translated from Spanish as life, lifestyle) practically similar to. Because it is 100% Double Aveo (licensed copy), with the exception of insignificant trifles in the interior of the cabin, the name of the ZAZ autocorporation instead of the Chevrolet Golden Cross, as well as the equipment of Ukrainian production by 1,3-liter motor with a capacity of 70 hp. (Let it not scare you, the car is also produced with GM-Kimi engines 1.4 and 1.5 liters).
The car traditionally has a front-wheel drive and is produced in sedan and chtchbak bodies. The transmission is set to 5 speed mechanics (Korean production) or a 4-step automaton (GMOVsky). Wheel size - 185/60 / R14 and 185/55 / \u200b\u200bR15 (read). According to the manufacturer, VIDA compliance with the environmental requirements of the toxicity of exhaust gas presented by the Euro-4 standard. The frequency of the implementation is 15 thousand km (read the frequency of maintenance of Chevrolet Aveo). Also, separate equipment are equipped with air conditioning, windows and fog lamps.

Review of the car ZAZ type sedan

ZAZ Vida Hatchback Overview
And this review is not so professionally removed, but also informative.
In a word, a budget car, which is cheaper than the competitors of the same class.
Crash test ZAZ Vida
Now let's go down to the ground and see how safe this car is. We did not find the crash test, but since this is the twin Chevrolet Aveo, then the problems will be the same.
According to the security tests on EURO NCAP standards - Aveo received a half star.
The conclusion of experts is disappointing - a high risk of injury, not compatible with life. All due to the strong deformation of the front of the body, which led to a decrease in the living space inside the car. In addition, the ruptures of the welded points were fixed. Aggravated the situation of the steering column, which rested in the chest mannequin.
Such a sad result of the crash test Specialists explain the fact that Chevrolet Aveo T-250 is Daewoo Kalos fully developed by Korean engineers even before the transition of Daewoo under the control of GM. Therefore, all the operations of the American automotive security corporation were used in subsequent models (T300, for example, created on the Opel Corsa platform - 5 stars).
How, you have not read yet? And in vain ...
Heading to the representation of the head of the keys from the 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. Baranca, I will immediately say, I didn't like it very much: it was made of too slippery plastic, but it became more familiar to the signal (Chevrolet the signal buttons 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 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 of production (including version with a machine) and two engines to choose from, then we have only maximum equipment, which includes ABS, air conditioning, power steering, fog lights, front windows, electrically controlled heating 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, it may appear more budget versions with a 1.5-liter engine (84 liters. P.), Known according to the Chevrolet Lanos model, as well as with a 1,4-liter Korean engine capacity of 94 liters. from.

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. Such behavior I watched both in powerful cars of the premium segment and in state employees. The introduction of the EURO 4 norms, which are pretty "stitch" the engine.

And the potential of the Asian motor is. The engine called Austa was developed by 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 plant knows about this nuance, and in the future an additional noise insulation of the engine compartment should appear. 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, the coverage of the "appearance" does not rock, and there were never sorts of breakdowns - energy intensity at a 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, the hard suspension affects the better. 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 do not think that the new engine with 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 p.

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 Chevrolet Aveo crash tests are alarming, which is compensated by predictable behavior on the road.
Price
One of the best offers on the market.
