In the spring, two thousand thirteenth in the Russian market started sales of the compact Chinese sedan FAW V5, which in the model line took place on the step above.
Externally, Fav V5 turned out to be very unscrewed, but I won't call it terrible. A typical state budget with an inconspicuous design, but in the cabin the car looks much more interesting and solid.
FAW V5 Prices and Prices
MT5 - Mechanics 5-st., AT5 - automatic 5-st.
True, the place inside is not enough. The FAW V5 was based on the chassis from the Japanese model of Toyota Yaris, so the magnitude of the sedan's wheelbase is only 2,425 mm, and the width is 1 680. At the same time, the length of the model is 4 290, the height is 1,500, and the road clearance (clearance) - 130 millimeters.
The Motion of Fav B5 leads a 1.5-liter gasoline engine capacity of 102 hp (135 nm), which is also installed on a more modern sedan. But if on the last engine is available paired with a five-speed mechanic and a four-band automatic machine, then for V5 we are offered only manual transmission.

The Chinese budget sedan FAW V5, according to the manufacturer and Russian dealers, is an excellent alternative to domestic cars. Buy Fav B5 2014 in Russia for the price of 389 thousand rubles for the initial complete set of Comfortable. Price A more rich version of Deluxe is 409 thousand rubles. In our review we will try to find out whether Chinese compact sedan is worthwhile.
- The body of the FAW V5 2014-2015 sedan demonstrates compact even by the standards of their class external dimensions: 4290 mm in length, 1680 mm wide, 1500 mm in height, with 2425 mm wheelbase and 150 mm road lumen (clearance).
On the front of the body, the compact headlights of the head light are placed, slightly narrowed in the fusion site with a narrow slot of a falseradiatic lattice, decorated with three horizontal chromed jumpers and a large logo of the FAW company in the form of a single unit. The bumper of the sedan from China with laconic lines, aerodynamic chips, a smile of the lower air intake and fog bricks is clearly copied with Volkswagen models. The calm of the smooth surface of the hood is broken upwards over the headlight headlights forming stylish transitions into neat wheel arches. Mine rear-view mirrors - in modern with repeaters of turn signs.
In the profile, the car is a classic three-volume with a compact engine compartment, the maximum possible passenger compartment and weight feed in the size of the wheelbase. Designers and engineers were clearly not chased behind the fashion and visual efficacy of their creation. Straight roof line, smooth sidewall surfaces, geometrically correct door shape, powerful rear roof rack, large rear sv.
The feed of the sedan is made in the Chinese style - large, but at the same time the amilateral plaffers of the overall lanterns, the high vertical part of the trunk cover, a powerful bumper with fogs and hint on aerodynamic chips (this is on a budget sedan with a modest 102 strong motor).
In general, the Faw V5 sedan looks interesting, concisely and kept, but ... boring and old-fashioned, and only for appearance do not buy the car. There is no spark in design, somehow all fad. Russian on the background of a competitor from the Middle Kingdom looks more juicy and bright.
- Selecting the color of the enamel for painting the body of the Sedan Fav B5 Sedana consists of seven options: white, silver, golden, yellow, red, blue and black.
The salon of the Chinese compact sedan is made of budget materials and assembled carelessly. Hard plastic, uneven lines on chairs, uneven gaps between the elements on the torpedo, the center console and door maps. At the same time, the mass of the shortcomings in ergonomics: the steering column is not regulated, as well as the seat belts, the first row of cotton chairs and do not provide due side support, the buttons are pressed without an effort - anything strange, the car is budget, the car is true for quite a completely small almost 400 thousand rubles.
Before the driver, a simple steering wheel with a slippery rim, the dashboard with three large dials and adjustment of the brightness of the illumination of informative, on the center console is located a regular audio system (Radio CD player, USB 4 speaker), control unit of the air conditioning system and interior heating. Places in the first row enough for people with growth under 190 cm, which in itself is nice.
The quality of artificial leather used to finish the seats was also pleased.
In the second row, according to the manufacturer, only two head restraints are installed. Yes, and on the fact, it is comfortable to get comfortable in the back, the pillow is molded for two seats, and the high tunnel on the floor does not add conveniences sitting in the center on the rear row. The most pleasant aspect for the rear passengers is the convenience of landing. The rear row cushion is installed high, the doorway, despite its compact sizes, is convenient, and the legs of the legs are easily placed under high-mounted first row seats.
Smooth roof line and high ceiling provide a lot of air in the cabin, get to the upholstery of the ceiling your head can only be bouncing on the seat.
The FAW V5 sedan trunk is able to accommodate no more than 420 liters of cargo, since the back of the rear seats does not develop, and it is simply impossible to increase the size of the luggage compartment.
Compact Sedan V5 for Russian motorists is offered in two fixed complete sets. Initial Comfortable includes fog, alloy wheels R14 rubber 175/65 R14, tissue upholstery of seats, two front airbags, ABS with EBD, air conditioning, regular audio system, power steering, power windows for all doors, electric mirrors, trunk lids and gas tank trough, central castle with Du.
Moldings are added in the body color, leather interior and parking sensors in the back of the Deluxe.
Specifications The FAW V5 sedan sold in Russia is not pleasing to the diversity. Only one gasoline 1.5-liter engine (102 LAN 135 nm), model CA4GA5 in a pair of 5 transmissions. The tandem of the motor and gearbox, according to the manufacturer, provide a sedan with a curb weight of 995 kg (full weight with passengers and luggage to 1370 kg) overclocking the dynamics of up to 100 kmh for 11.5 seconds and the maximum speed of 180 kmh, the average fuel consumption 5, 6 liters. According to the reviews of the owners, the engine of the Chinese sedan is really very alive, which is surprising in the thread neighbors, here only the real fuel consumption in the combined cycle is at least 7-8 liters.
The suspension scheme of the budget sedan is traditional for this class. Front set McPherson racks, behind the beam of twist. The suspension is soft and comfortable, allows you to confidently move around the broken roads without consequences for sitting in the cabin. The technical stuffing is quite good and is based on upgraded nodes and units of Japanese Toyota.
As a result: the price of the new Chinese sedan FAW V5 is clearly overestimated, and so the car is very interesting, with a classic appearance, a fairly convenient lounge and a proven technical component.
The daughter received rights, graduated from a school with a medal. Here you want, do not want, but you need to give a decent gift. Especially when you hint about it every day.
But we all know how to go newcomers. Repair, of course, will be on me. Therefore, I began to look for a car that will be as reliable and cheaper in service. Priora and grant immediately excluded - time and nerves are more expensive.
On the forums, the people actively discusses the Chinese auto industry. I stopped on the FAW V5. And I did not find radically negative feedback, although I studied a question long enough. FAW is the most authoritative Chinese automaker.
Pluses for my case are that the Toyotovsky engine (from Yarisa) is used as a power unit. The maintenance is simple. In addition, the manufacturer issues a warranty per 100,000 km. Since my daughter will ride, she has 5-6 years old. Road clearance is higher than many cars of the same class.
In general, what is needed for a beginner driver. It goes from six months, only the disk in one place about the border has shown. The car never broke. Most of all write about big gaps, but stupid to expect German accuracy for the money.
Definitely the domestic auto industry against Chinese does not withstand any comparison (nor for money, nor for reliability, nor under warranty).
Advantages of a car
- Stylish design;
- Comfortable and spacious salon;
- Warranty 100,000 km;

FAW: reviews reviews about FAW V5 14 December 2015
Evaluating the possible options before buying a car, revealed the most suitable: Renault Logan, Hyundai Solaris, Lada Granta and FAW V5.
The first two brands have proven themselves in the market solely on the positive side, but they are decent (especially after increasing prices by automakers due to fluctuations in the national currency). FAW V5 attracted me, first of all, a rich complete set for the available money.
Of course, Lada Granta is somewhat cheaper, but if we compare the grades and materials used in the cabin, the Chinese comes out the unambiguous winner.
Is it worth saying that the owners of the products of the domestic auto industry are fighters for their nature? They like to overcome various difficulties every time. After all, waking up in the morning, the owner of any Lada will not be able to be confident whether his car will be taken today or not.
In my case, the size of the trunk bowed the scales in the direction of buying a Chinese sedan. This car is what is needed for summer residents.
I read that some owners lacquer with front optics pecks. My car has been more than a year. There are no complaints with respect to paints.
Advantages of a car
- Big trunk;
- Comfortable salon;
- Many different electronics;

FAW: reviews reviews about FAW V5 07 November 2015
I bought this car, you can say, Naobum, since these Chinese just began to go to our market and nothing was known about them. I took the mechanics for 400,000 rubles, in my hometown. The first thing you pay attention to when viewing is natural appearance.
Honestly confess, at first I was not impressed as he looks, but, as it turned out later, this is the whole thing of habits and perceptions, and I kicked up to her quickly. With a closer acquaintance, the car seemed high quality and kindly assembled. There were questions to the body gap, but making a discount on the cost, they did not seem something critical.
The machine has a 16 valve 4-cylinder row motor, 102 l / s, which, without much damage to the dynamics and power of the motor, well digends 92 gasoline and, while the fuel consumption in the city does not exceed 7 liters per 100 km., It is certainly With a calm ride.
Also, it is impossible not to say about a good basic equipment of the machine, which, compared to competitors, can be said premium. My car was immediately on alloy wheels, with front airbags, ABS and with a braking effort distribution system. It was surprising to find that in the car with such equipment there is no upholstery cover of the trunk.
The car, in general, is successful and quite strong. Reasons for disappointment does not give. I especially want to note the next fact: today the mileage amounted to 55 thousand km. During this time, not any serious breakage happened to the machine. The more I go, the more I was convinced of the correctness of choice.
Advantages of a car
- Reliable, economical, excellent basic equipment
Disadvantages of a car
- Check the gaps in the cabin
FAW: reviews reviews about FAW V5 October 23, 2015 
Hello everyone! Also, I decided to insert my five kopecks about the driver of the Fav. I will not originate, in general, I agree with those who have already unsubscribed.
By the price / quality ratio option is good. For more than a year, I am the owner of the car Fav B5. During this time, the horse ran 15 thousand km.
At first glance in the car dealership, the car made an impression of a good product, despite the Gorish gaps in the body panels, they are uniform everywhere, which indicates modern build technologies.
The plastic salon does not creak on the go, well fitted and fixed. With a closer acquaintance with the car, it turned out that it has a good basic equipment, climate control and ESP on all 4 doors, not to mention asb and immobilizer.
And all this at a fairly affordable price, comparable with prices for the domestic auto industry. These arguments spoke in favor of acquiring Fav B5, which I did. When running 15 thousand km, the car remains the same collected, in the cabin it does not break anything, the plastic is still kept firmly and in bad roads does not make any sounds.
Under the hood, too, a full order, nothing is grilled, everything is in place and works fine. Motor pleases a good travelery. When traveling on the highway, the car goes easily. Clearance 13 cm. For the machine of this class, more than sufficient to not be afraid of each fifth.
With its sizes, the car is quite comfortable and spacious inside. If we asked to describe in two words, I would say that this is a good budget car for the whole family.
Advantages of a car
- Good equipment, good build quality.
Disadvantages of a car
- At high speeds, the noise of the wheels is heard.

Advantages of a car
Great car at an affordable price with good complete set

In late 2012 - early 2013 in Russia, the sale of a new Chinese sedan under the FAW brand starts. The compact five-sediment FAW V5 sedan, which is already available on the market two cars, is added to the high level of equipment, reinforced for Russian operating conditions by a body and an economical gasoline engine.
The appearance of the 4-door sedan of Fav V5 is simple and does not particularly stand out by anything, fully corresponding to the budget class of cars. All lines smooth, angles are smoothed, an attempt to do something original is visible only in the front heads.
However, the deficiencies of the design are leveled by the high quality of the performance of the body, which uses a number of technologies that increase the safety of passengers: reinforced design, steel beams in the door and energy absorbing insert under the front bumper. Car dimensions Average: 4290x1680x1500 mm with a clearance of 130 mm and a wheelbase in 2425 mm. The weight of the novelties is about 995 kg. The volume of the fuel tank is 45 liters.
The interior of the FAW V5 sedan is designed in strict style. The front panel is deprived of the excesses, all controls are tightly grouped, but it is convenient to access to them and does not brake. The instrument panel has a pleasant bluish backlight with the possibility of adjusting its brightness, is characterized by good informativeness and convenient location relative to the driver's eye. The front armors are equipped with manual adjustment in 4 directions, have a small side support and head restraints. The rear seat is equipped with seat belts, fasteners of children's chairs and comfortable head restraints. There are not so many spaces in the cabin, but the passengers of medium-sized dimensions will feel quite comfortable.
If we talk about the technical characteristics of the FAW V5, the novelty comes to the Russian market just with one four-cylinder gasoline engine VCT-I. This power unit is equipped with an electronic fuel injection system and intelligent E-GAS and ISS systems, regulating gasoline consumption in order to save it. The engine used, has a working volume of 1.5 liters (1497 cm3) and is able to develop up to 102 hp. (75 kW) maximum power by 6000 rev / minute. At the same time, the torque reaches its peak in 135 nm at 4400 rev. The engine is located in the front of the car, has an inline position of cylinders, each of which accounts for 4 valves.
The manufacturer offers only a front-wheel drive version of the sedan. Depending on the wishes of the customer, Fav V5 is equipped with either a five-speed mechanical gearbox, or a five-speed "automatic". With any of the available boxes, the car will be able to accelerate to 180 km / h, while the acceleration time until the first hundred on the speedometer is a Chinese manufacturer while tactfully silent. The average fuel consumption in the case of "mechanics" will be about 5.6 liters per 100 kilometers of the path, "Avtomat" will eat full 6 liters.
The suspension from the new sedan FAW V5 is completely independent. McPherson racks are installed in front, and a multi-dimensional system is used at the back. Front brakes disc, behind the car is completed with brake drums. Since the configuration of the "Comfortable Plus", the novelty is equipped with 14-inch alloy wheels for rubber 175/65, and in the top configuration "Deluxe" the wheels are additionally completed with tire pressure sensors. Already in the basic modification, the car is equipped with an anti-lock brake system (ABS), an electronic brake force distribution system (EBD) and an electric steering wheel.

Basic equipment "Comfortable" already includes a fairly wide range of features: fog lights, ISOFIX fastening for children's chairs, central locking, air conditioning, front email. Power windows and drive side mirrors. In the configuration "Comfortable Plus" will increase the heating of the rear window, the front airbags, the CD-audio system with the USB port, email.

5 / 5 ( 2 voices)
FAW V5 is an upgraded sedan version of the VITA model. The car is produced in China since the 2012 year. The number of machines that go to the market around the world by Chinese producers has increased markedly. Moreover, budget cars, such as B5. Already next spring, the 2013 sales of the Chinese in the Russian Federation started. The entire lineup of the file.
Exterior
Drawing attention to the usual budget car, such a feeling arises that a similar design was somewhere. And this happens for quite understandable reasons, for many Chinese manufacturers often repeat successful solutions to more famous brands. Therefore, in this Chinese it will not work out to meet something fresh and innovative. The car is not famous for its appearance, although it looks not poorly.
The front side is decorated with full headlight headlamps, a radiator grid, which looks not so bad because of its non-standard form. The spirit of modernity can be noticed except in the bumper in front of the bumper, which possesses fogs and air intake.
Sitness and smoothness of the hood violates small climbing near headlight headlights, which are stylishly moving into stylish arches of the wheels. The appearance of the wheel does not allow them to admire, the diagonal that is only 14 inches. The back of the FAW V5 Sedan finishes, in general, the sad nature of appearance, where there is nothing new again.
There is quite a massive bumper, considerable overall plaffones, a large trunk door. LED optics for some reason decided not to apply that very strange, it would be just by the way. In general and on the side and in front, the Chinese looks a little on. Small mirrors for the rear view are made in a modern style with repeaters. It is clear that the designer composition was not chased behind the fashion and visual effects of his work.
Major rear body kit and geometrically correct fit doors confirm it. Road clearance is a modest 150 mm, which according to the current standards and road qualities, it seems clearly not enough. Talking in general, it can be said that the sedan's appearance looks interesting, restrained, but is boring somewhat old-fashioned.
Interior
Favoring the FAW V5 Sedan, approximately the same emotions immediately arise as from the appearance of the car. It can be seen that when choosing materials, manufacturers were guided by the main goal - to save on everything, on which it is possible. It is also seen in the poor joint and firmware of the seams. Used hard plastic.
To say something about the strong multimedia system with the support of the sensory display, as well as about the multifunctional steering wheel will simply fail. The interior was made on the principle of how to save. However, it is worth noting that the instrument panel is quite readable. After all 100% chairs, but even at least something hints at possible lateral support.
The steering wheel is devoid of all adjustments, which is however, it is possible to attribute to safety belts. The front seats are unnecessarily soft, which speaks about the soon way out of the order. The steering wheel is very slippery, and the dashboard has a 3rd dial with the adjustable illumination brightness. On the central console, various controls found their place and the basic audio system with USB support and 4-sided columns. Here is a free place in such as at first glance it seems, in such a small sedan, abound, even tall people.
In the rear sofa, the place is designed for 3 people, but there is only a pair of head restraints. In fact, only two people will feel comfortable, since the pillow is made for two places. A considerable tunnel, located on the floor adds excessive discomfort with rear passengers. The luggage compartment FAW V5 Sedan has about 420 liters of free space. An option to increase the volume by folding the rear backs is excluded, as it is not provided from the factory.
Specifications
Force aggregate
Speaking about the technical component of the sedan, there is a gasoline engine, a volume of 1.5 liters, which is capable of developing 102 horse forces. It is synchronized only with a mechanical five-speed gearbox. The FAW V5 Sedan is accelerated until the first hundred for 14 seconds, and the maximum speed is 180 km / h.
The average combustion consumption in the mixed mode is about 5.6 liters per 100 km. Regarding suspension - there is an independent McPherson ahead, and on the rear axis of the beam. On the suspension, it is possible to state that it is completely soft and comfortable, and well swallows the pit of our famous roads.
Safety
The I-SAFE-System security system includes passive safety:
- Reinforced body design;
- Steel beams in the doorway;
- Energy absorbing inserts under the bumper installed in front;
- Traumatic steering columns;
- Traumatic head restraints;
- Airbags.
Also present and active safety. Among them are:
- BOS brake priority systems (this option is functioning while simultaneously pressing the gas pedal and brakes, with the loss of control over the machine);
- Pressure sensors in wheels.
And yet in the interior, the lack of airbags is sharply felt, minimally for the passengers sitting behind even in the top versions of the car (after all, the car is listed as a family). It is clear that it is not worth demanding the maximum security from this manufacturer, because the tests conducted by Chinese crash tests (C-NCAP) FAW did not allow to gain sufficient points.
Configuration and prices
You can buy the FAW V5 SEDAN in the Russian Federation on the price network from 469,000 rubles, for the basic version, which includes front airbags, ABS, fog lights, air conditioning, power windows and an audio system with MP3 support. In the modification of Deluxe, which is estimated at 499,000 rubles, additionally includes trimming of the cabin, rear parking sensors and moldings, which are performed in the body color.
Comfortable equipment allows you to have at your disposal 14-inch light alloy wheels, the salon, which received tissue finish, a pair of frontal airbags and services, designed to improve safety - EBD and ABS, as well as an electric steering wheel amplifier, electric drive for mirrors, gasoline hatch Tank and lids of the luggage compartment, central locking and remote control.
For a comfortable ride, as mentioned earlier, it was established:

Pros and cons
Pluses of cars
- Availability of a convenient luggage compartment;
- Acceptable fuel consumption;
- Good basic car equipment;
- Acceptable pricing policy;
- Not bad overclocking dynamism;
- Pretty roomy and spacious salon;
- A good suspension is installed, which copes well with pits and potholes.
Cons of cars
- Low insulation of the interior;
- Finish in a low-quality salon;
- Harsh plastic;
- The increasing passengers will not feel comfortable from behind due to the low ceiling;
- Minimum rear visibility;
- Front fog will be difficult to replace;
- Unusual landing and still cramped salon;
- Not adjustable steering column;
- Rear seats, it is impossible to fold in any position that there is an undoubted disadvantage for a modern car;
- Lack of airbags in standard modification;
- There are no options for heating windshield and side mirrors.
Let's sum up
At the end, I would like to notice that the FAW V5 Sedan is not the best representative of its class, in particular, if you take quality and price policy comparison. However, the car has its own highlight and small advantages, which you can see at least looking at domestic cars.
The Chinese has a non-chicker, but satisfying appearance, has a good salon, the quality of which is noticeably suffering, and a good arsenal of electronics. Although the engine is not the most powerful, but it copes well with its tasks, being approximate, in the issue of fuel economy.
