The public debut was shocked back in 2008, when, in fact, at the annual Moscow exhibition, then another pre-outline version was announced. By and large, no different from the models, which then went into the series.
In the market, Vortex truth was last up until 2014, when the factory collapsed itself. As you know, the Russian version of Chery Fora was produced at TagAZ facilities.
Design
Tagaz Vortex Estina Common in the design of the car, no delights here not to find. Yes, he is partly beautiful and attractive, but solely in his pseudo premium segment. The appearance of the Vortex Estina strict, unpretentious, the structure of some parts of the body is at all causes a lot of questions, it is not clear why here, and there, on the contrary, a lot of questions, honestly admit.
Exterior
Vortex Estina A21 in front is crowned with a heavy chrome-plated radiator grille and coarse optics, with extravagant landing. It looks somewhat ridiculous and even controversial. However, surprise on Vortex Estine disappears when you look at the stern. Here, by and large, the mirror image "Front", naturally with certain clarifications.
The format of planting vertical lanterns is similar to the front headlights, sharp corners in the hill, wide shackles of landing below. Bumper, which is there, what is there without fire and some "surprises". The lateral part of Vortex Estina due to the roof seems heavy, but simplicity add funny wheeled arches, especially behind, looks honestly, ridiculous, taking into account the chopped stern.
Interior
Judging by the photo, within the Vortex estine A21, straight lines and total asceticism prevail. But, while the interior is good and cute, with quite worthy equipment.
At the same time, estin is finished exclusively budgetary materials, solid plastics. The quality of fitting materials first-class.
The Central Console Vortex Estina is headed by a number of techniqued keys (light, "accidental"), as well as two rectangular deflectors. Below "prescribed" a two-bed magneticue, as well as a good climatic block. It looks rich, and the good functionality of the console is felt. Disappointed "tidy", too archaic not only finishing, but also equipment, but the steering wheel is good, with a pleasant ergonomics.
In the Salon Vortex Estina enough free space, but without any excesses, in a minimum. From the front of the chair, though wide, but the support is vague and adjustments to increase comfort will not work. Rear sofa is designed for three passengers of a modest set.
Specifications

- 1.6 liters generated by 119 liters. from. and 147 nm. The engine drags well, even taking into account his standard firmware.
- 2.0 liter produced by 136 liters. from. and 180 nm.
In a pair, only 5-speed "mechanics" and front-wheel drive are offered to both engines.
"Trolley" Vortex Estina classical, copied naturally with "Chinese", ahead MacPherson, a lot of lever, plus stabilizers in the "circle". Features, Description Specifications viewed, it's time to be taken for learning equipment that offered a manufacturer.
Country of manufacturer Vortex Estina Russia, so spare parts Even a time after time, it is not a problem, considering that it is full of analogues from China. Repair will be simple, you can find the thermostat analogue even from the Lada, other parts are similar. You can independently check the car for problems. Moreover, for faults, error codes are known, it is not necessary to go to a hundred. And in principle, in terms of self-repairing, the car is great.

Specifications and design
Tagaz Vortex Estina FL-C is the Russian passenger car class C manufactured by TagAZ, which is an exact copy of Chery A5. On this vehicle was installed engines with marking SQR481F and SQR484F. The SQR477F motor on the domestic market was not presented.
Technical characteristics of the SQR481F motor:
Service
Maintenance of the SQR481F and SQR484F power unit and SQR484F is carried out standard. The intersavine interval, according to the norms of the manufacturer, is 15,000 km. To maintain the motor resource, it is recommended to conduct an oil change and filter procedure every 10,000 km of run.
Malfunctions and repair
Like all power units, SQR481F has a number of flaws that manifest themselves throughout the release line. Consider the main of them:
Motor Tagaz Vortex Estina FL-C.
- Elevated oil consumption. The fault begins to meet on a large development of the resource (approximately 200,000 km). Solving the replacement of oil rings.
- Vibration. The variants of the problem are two - a malfunction of the pillow or raising idle speed.
- High or floating momentum. Problem in throttle.
- Difficult launch of the motor. The problem lies in the fuel pump or simply flooded the candle.
Output
The Tagaz Vortex Estina FL-C engine is a fairly powerful and reliable power unit manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors. He loves high-quality details and consumables, finding enough to fuel. Service is recommended to hold every 10,000 km.
The company TagAZ in 2008 for the first time released the first generation of the car and spare parts for Vortex Estine, which were a licensed copy of the Chinese Cherie Fora. This gave the appropriate name to the assembly plant - Vortex, and also created the soil for a competitive struggle. In 2012, the autoconecern decided to modernize the car, updating the technical characteristics slightly. From this point on, the external design of Estine became an order of magnitude higher, its review is now more pretty, and the price remained the same democratic. It is very difficult to find any reviews of car owners about the last generation, since Vortex was produced by a limited volume. But, despite some errors of the technical part, the Russian version looked much better than Chinese execution, and the cost was lower.
However, given all good indicators of this car and spare parts at Vortex Estina, in early 2014 the company stopped the production of these machines due to the instability of the work and the difficulties of the financial condition. Today we can meet these cars only in the secondary market, but this does not exclude the possibility of wear components, which sooner or later makes us face with the choice of auto parts.
Today, the market and shops are simply clogged with a huge range of automotive goods, while all products differ from themselves not only by technical characteristics, as well as price and quality. In addition, it is necessary to repel from the specific modification of the car and the year of release. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to understand the products presented, as well as know their distinctive features.
1. Original spare parts.
This is one of the most expensive spare parts for Vortex Estina, which are produced by the main plant of the car, and also have a warranty period, depending on the specifics of the part. Such spare parts are fully compatible with your modification, and quality is guaranteed by factory certificates. Installation of original products is a prerequisite for the extension of warranty service of a new car, and buy them better from official dealers. Such spare parts are available on Vortex Estine subject to all rules and standards. Branded details are made under the strictest control of the quality department specialists, but there are cases when the defective party gets into the market. It does not give an occasion for your experience, because you can easily return it to a specialized store and ask for a replacement.
Chery Fora debuted in 2006. Fora - the name of the version for the Russian market. In my homeland, the model was called A5. From 2007 to 2008, the car was produced in Kaliningrad, and from 2008 to 2014 - in Taganrog, where the designation of Vortex Estina was received.
Chery Fora was offered only in the body of the sedan. The car looks quite modern and attractive. The quality of finishing materials, albeit not the best, but an order of magnitude higher than that of compatriots of that time. The china salon is quite spacious. Rear sofa, although it is designed for three, but comfortably will be placed only two.
Basic versions had a good equipment: ABS with EBD, steering hydraulic power, central locking, power windows and air conditioning. Airbags and parking sensors demanded surcharges.
Engine
The secondary market is dominated by Chery Fora, equipped with two gasoline engines: 1.6 l / 119 hp. and 2.0 l / 129 hp These are Chery Engines ACTECO families, developed with AVL Austrian company. They are equipped with a timber-type timing and hydraulic valve pushers. In the power scheme there are two more aggregates - a volume of 1.5 and 1.8 liters. But they are very rare.
Unfortunately, the motors do not guarantee carefree operation due to the poor quality of components. Thus, individual owners collided with a breakdown of the timing belt - the consequences of jamming the tensioning roller. Valves are found with pistons. Good luck, if only the valve closes. Then the repair will require about 25-30 thousand rubles.
Some, after 100,000 km, went to the service due to the cliff of the connecting rod, the destruction of the piston, the wear of the crankshaft or his stubborn rings. In the recovery process, another problem is detected - a large number of low-quality fakes. The main thing is not to save, otherwise the repeated repair of the engine is inevitable. However, most often the need for capitals occurs after 250-300 thousand km.
Many in case of problems prefer to acquire a contract engine. And some machine owners with a 1.6-liter unit set a 2-liter motor. Fortunately, for this there is no need to redo something. In addition, the regular block of the board quickly finds a common language with a larger engine.
Frequently and interruptions in the operation of the motor. Often, the valve of cutter gas recycling valve and the absorber valve are to blame. Engine supports can be wary after 70-120 thousand km, and the catalyst is 150-200 thousand km.
Sometimes it gives to flow the block head blocking or refuses the cooling fan. Motor does not tolerate overheating. As a result, the block head can burst. The cost of the new GBC is 52,000 rubles.
Transmission
For Chery Fora, only one box is provided - 5-speed mechanics. Owners often complain about the difficulty with shifting. During operation, it is necessary to deal with the cliff of the cable of the gear selection mechanism, the leakage of the shelves of the drives and premature wear of bearings. Special caution should be shown when spinning a drain plug. If overdoing, the case of the box can burst.
The clutch serves more than 150-200 thousand km, but the release hydraulic bearing can surrender through 100-150 thousand km. The cost of the new release is 2,000 rubles, and a complete clutch kit is about 15,000 rubles.
Chassis
FORA has an independent suspension on both axes: MacPherson in front and a multi-dimensional chart of rear. We won't call the running comfortable. On the Body Waves is swinging, and in small irregularities information about the status of the road canal is transmitted in detail.
Suspension Chery Fora in its design is similar to Mitsubishi Lancer IX. They have interchangeable details: levers, shock absorbers, springs. The resource of the original Chinese suspension elements is low, especially on the front axle. So, silent blocks, ball supports, shock absorbers and hub bearings wears 60-100 thousand km.
The power steering pump can be checked after 50-100 thousand km. It's all about bearings. The cost of the new pump is about 5,000 rubles. The steering rack often needs to be repaired after 80-120 thousand km. A knock appear, or a leak of the upper glasses is detected. Remkomplekt is available for 2,000 rubles, and a new rail - for 10,000 rubles.
Closer to 100,000 km require brake hoses and tubes. After 100,000 km on the irregularities, due to the wear of the guides, the front calipers can be fried. And after 150,000 km begin to twist the rear calipers. Often, the wear sensors are faced.
Anthers Sls can break after 60-100 thousand km. Soon there is noness and the Sls themselves.
Typical problems and malfunctions
The first foci of corrosion can be detected on the wheeled arches, and sometimes inside the trunk. The latter contributes to the fall of water through the tested seals of the rear lights.
Chrome on the moldings of the door and handle of the checkpoint, as well as paint on the steering wheel, as a rule, they got out after 30-40 thousand km.
The generator may require attention after 150,000 km. You have to change bearings, voltage controller relays or a belt brush node (about 5,000 rubles).
Salon cooling problems are often caused by cracks in the radiator of the air conditioner or in the tubes. In addition, sometimes burns out the resistor in the climate control control unit.
In the cold season, many owners note the low efficiency of the heating system. One of the reasons is an unsuccessful design. Another is the jamming of the air damper (about 2300 rubles).
Conclusion
Surprise did not come out. For an attractive price tag you have to pay time, nerves and money.
