Chvrolet Lanos test drive since 2005 sedan
The first league
There is no cheaper This sedan has two undeniable advantages: the price and gold cross of Chevrolet. As the dynamics of sales shows, for our person who has just crawled out of nine, this is quite enough. All other qualities are already the subject of controversy.
It is difficult to call this car beautiful, the formulation of a calm design is more likely to do here. So calm that there’s nothing to catch on ...
For the first time, the car was shown at the Geneva Motor Show in 1997 called Daewoo Lanos. Before the default in 98, a certain number of these machines under the authentic name fell into Russia. The design of Lanos was carried out by Italians from the ITALDESIGN studio. In those days, the car looked very good, but ... 10 years have passed since then. Today, both the interior and the exterior of enthusiasm are not called and, although everything is fitted well, but very gray, you can even say dull.
It’s hard to get a job at the wheel, it was not possible for three days to find the optimal situation, and by the evening the lower back clearly protested against such an appeal. The reserve of internal space will be enough for people with a height up to 190 cm. The back is noticeably more closely, but this is in the laws of the genre. But the volume of the trunk is small (320 l). True, you can fold the rear seat in the proportion of 40/60, but the opening is quite narrow.
The sound insulation is very mediocre, and this turns out to be as soon as you turn the key in the ignition lock. Long -flowing clutch requires addiction, but here, as they say, to taste and color ... For a relatively light Lanos, the traction of an 86-horsepower 1.5-liter engine should be recognized as sufficient, at least in the urban speed range. True, the drive of a mechanical KP lever is disappointed with its insignificance, and they have to work quite actively. There is another 1.6-liter 102-horsepower engine, but this is already too much. Yes, 10 s from 0 to 100 km/h is a worthy indicator, like 200 km/h of the maximum wings, but how to control this device at such speeds? Management, frankly, is not the strongest place of the budget Chevrod. Comfortable can be recognized as a speed of 110120 km/h. As soon as the arrow crawls these risks, Lanos makes it completely concentrate on the driving process. The already considerable dynamic corridor expands to critical limits, plus a nervous reaction to gusts of the side wind, plus sound accompaniment, plus not the most effective brakes (slowing down is slightly less than expected, and the pedal force is quite high). In general, you should not go faster, but up to hundreds are simple and predictable.
The city will please a small radius of a turn, decent visibility and an energy -intensive suspension, which allows you to peel without hesitation along the potholes and tram tracks. Summer residents will like a decent road clearance.
But all this loses its meaning when you see the price tag. For a car with air conditioning, front electric windows, steering wheel heating, CZ, airbags and audio training, only $ 10,355 are asked! There is no cheaper.
Comfortable speed for Lanos is 110 km/h, you can go faster, but it requires serious stress.
Management is not the strongest side of the budget Chevrolet from the Korean branch of GM DAT.
The choice is not rich in three configurations, and the richest differs from the poorest air conditioning and airbags.
Chevrolet Lanos will be a revelation for a person who has crossed from nine.
It’s very problematic to find a normal car in Russia cheaper, Lanos has little competitors.
The brakes do not add optimism, the pedal force does not correspond to the brake dynamics.
