Sable and UAZ with full drive Sneakers or boots?
Sable GAZ 27527.
Sobolize the total weight of up to 2.8 tons, unified with heavier gazelles, have been issued since 1998, in early 2003 updated (SM, 2003, No. 4).
The family includes GAZ 2217 minibuses with a capacity of six to ten people, a triple cargo and a seven-party cargo-passenger van GAZ 2752 with a low or medium roof. Passenger modification with comfortable armchairs and low roof is called Barguzin. The decision on the serial release of onboard GAZ-2310 (SP, 2002, No. 1) with a lifting capacity of one ton was decided.
On the Cotors of the family, there are mainly 2.3-liter gasoline Motor ZMZ-406. Turbodiesel GAZ-560 with a volume of 2.1 liters (SHTTER license) is shortly replaced by an Iveco unit.
From the beginning of this year at the small series, and since May, the production of all-wheel drive Soboles GAZ 22177 and GAZ 27527 (SP, 2000, No. 6) has begun in the production of trucks.
The cost of cargo-passenger modification is 210 thousand rubles.
UAZ-39099
In 1958, the Ulyanovsky automotive plant began the release of a all-metal van UAZ-450 with a loading capacity of 0.8 tons.
In recent years, a few modifications of the onboard truck have seen: with an increased wheelbase, with one and a half (SE, 2002, No. 1) and double-row cabins. On the UAZ, the gasoline engines of the ZMZ-402 and UMP-4218 with a volume of 2.4 and 2.9 liters, respectively, are installed.
Prices for the seven-party cargo-passenger van begins from 160 thousand rubles.
Car over time Years and epochs pass, cars are shrinking chrome, they are torn to the corners, are washed, now they cut the eyes with new faces. And in the background of this picture there is no progress, no, and the Wazzka zakka flashes. Already without a short forty years, it is released almost unchanged - not least, due to the complete monopoly of the UAZ in the class of light all-wheel drive trucks. Only this year, the Gorky plant began to issue a 4x4 sable, direct rival of loaf. Well, if so, we have the full right to compare them.
Although, to be honest, there are doubts - after all, forty-five years of difference! Over the years, five to eight models have time to change five to eight models. Will this comparison be like a biblical beating of babies? Saws sable stalking loaf and the eye does not blink! However, the reality was far from so unambiguous ...
Close - far away For comparison, cargo-passenger modifications took - sable GAZ 27527 for 210 thousand rubles and UAZ-39099 for 160 thousand. It should be noted that there are still very few dealers from the dealers, and the updated was not at all. Agreed to the dorestayling car, since the parameters estimated by us have not changed. So, what do these cars unite and what will be different?
Sobol is 400 mm longer, but it may be more critical to a hundred per 200 mm height - not every garage is accommodated. Both machines with a lifting capacity of tonn, four-door, seventerals with almost equal in volume isolated cargo compartments. Passengers of Buanka are spacious - the wagon layout leaves them more space than half a cup. The fee for this is a motor in the cabin: you can repair it without getting out of the steering, but also to shout on the move is not easy.
Metal body is installed on the frames, but a sable - on massive rubber pillows, and in loaf - on thin washers from the conveyor belt. Pendants dependent: Gas sprouts are long five-hundred, UAZ has a short package of thirteen sheets - hard, but very energy-intensive. In general, if in a soft comfortable Sobol, it is convenient to go somewhere, then in Buanka, it's nicer to hiding from the rain with a warm company, put it in the direction of the rifle rods, unleash the backpacks ...
Evolution of drive Does the asphalt need a four-wheel drive? For a car that is not burdened with an excess of power, the answer is obvious, so there is a simple and reliable scheme with a rigidly connected front axle on all UAZ. The lack of such a scheme is a froker with the connection of the front axle and the impossibility of using the full drive, say, on a slippery road.
A more modern design was applied to gas: a constant four-wheel drive plus an inter-sieve differential with a mechanical lock - as well as, for example, on the Niva. This allows you to confidently feel on any coverage, but you have to pay in high fuel consumption and slightly worse dynamics.
Features of the design, multiplied by the domestic execution, lead to the fact that the UAZ with a connected front bridge is a lot of rapid razdatka with large modulous strait gears. Zudit's transmission is constantly, although not so strong, and the levers are so tight that you have to wait for the legs. In the Nizhny Novgorod all-class, the original know-how is implemented: working fluid, dripping from a chronically current steering amplifier, flows through the spring and abundantly lubricates the suspension and the left front wheel drive. In addition, sable
twishes, it is worth turning the steering wheel as soon as the front wheels are archaic crosses. They say they did not find suitable on the transmitted torus - hinges of equal angular velocities. But they are on the UAZ - and nothing, pass. However, only the suicide will turn to turn the steering wheel until the suicide rushes - in extreme positions, brake hoses are stretched as a string, and even curved at the caliper at right angles! Of course, you can unscrew the restrictive bolts and reduce the angle of rotation of the wheels, but the constructor's request is obvious, even the student-third is unforgivable. Distance of huge size
Sobol unconditionally wins in the convenience of landing, ease of control, comfort, interior decoration, noise insulation, smoothness, brake efficiency, and Motor ZMZ-406 quiet, like a foreign car. According to the driver's feelings, the all-wheel drive is almost no different from the rear-wheel drive, the front axle and the springs only slightly reduce the acute control.
We need to get used to Waw, this is a car for real men: close, noisy, hard, with a heavy wheel without amplifier and uncomfortable pedals. It seems that when it was designed, the science of ergonomics were simply not invented. But after a few days, a non-zeysh van is beginning to even love - especially if you had a chance to experience it on off-road.
Mathematics with geometry Photographer student to the viewfinder: Is it weak through this puddle to catch? I then? Yes, never weakly ... And in ten seconds, UAZ was helplessly growled, stirring oily clay. No, the K-153 tires are good for asphalt. Satisfaction received after half an hour on the steepness of Kozor - with acceleration, both cars jumped on it, but when they began to maneuver, sable, I left the Spirit. In the literal sense, smelled with a pawned clutch. Even on the reduced transmission of the dispensing box, the motor was barely enough of the moment to turn in the loose sand pretty toothy wheels K-155. But the UAZ was moved very cheerfully.
Once again they made sure that the modern powerful and turning ZMZ-406, established at the Sobol, is good on the highway: After all, the maximum moment is 172 N.M. It develops only at 3500 rpm. But the 2.9-liter UMP-4218, which comes from the ancient 402th unit, has a characteristic as a diesel engine. At lower power, it gives 195 NM for already at 2200 rpm, which is much more suitable for the all-terrain vehicle. As a result, in the dynamics and maximum speed, the loaf is not inferior to a sable, and in elasticity noticeably superior to him.
On the off-road, even a larger total transmission number of transmissions (on a reduced gear of 38.6 in a sable and 36.9 Uazik) does not save the Nizhny Novgorod all-wheel drive - after all, it is also almost half-drought.
A similar situation and with geometric parameters of passability. The lumens under the gearboxes and the transfer box of the Ulyanovsk all-terrain are only 10-15 mm more. Advantage, at first glance, minor, however, smaller base and rut essentially
reduce the risk to sit on the belly. But even if it happens, the narrow detachable casing of the UAZ gearboxes easily cut through the ground. But the wide box on the Gazovskaya Bridge of the Spyser type rests in the ground, like a scraper of the bulldozer. But the diagonal hanging sable is afraid of less - the crossing of the suspension is 320 mm against 240 at the opponent. Loaf sable not on teeth
What is better - sneakers or boots? Well, it depends on what. In terms of the sidewalk, walk on herbal sand - why the boots here. Another thing, in the dirt ... And if you need to choose one shoes for all occasions? Most prefer sneakers and will look for the road better.
So with our pair of cars - we ride mostly on the asphalt and all-terrestrial sable abilities, if it is reasonable to use them, in most cases enough. Naturally, subject to immediate replacement of brake hoses for longer! But in a serious off-road UAZ on some tooth rubber, there are simply no equal - here the boots just right. And whether to walk in them every day - decide for yourself.
Sobol wins unconditionally in comfort, interior decoration and convenience.
