The Chevrolet ORLANDO test was held in sunny Valencia, which in Spain. But before that, a large group of Russian journalists had to spend many hours in Paris. And we did not enjoy the beauties of the Champs Elysees. We slept in an abandoned train at the Northern Station, warm with our black brothers with a cold night near special thermal tumb, lay a few hours on the floor at Charles de Gaulle airport. In general, in Paris, instead of the program for 40 minutes between the docks of two flights, we spent almost two days - because of the snowfall all airports in the city were closed, trains went with interruptions, to catch a taxi was unreal. In addition, all hotels in Paris were clogged to unhappy tourists. Catastrophe! And this is because of some snow there ...

But enough to cause a feeling of pity. It is best to remember ... Recent Message of Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev to the Federal Assembly. Surprised by such a turn? But remember that in this message, the President expressed the idea of \u200b\u200bthe need to stimulate Russian families to the birth of a third child. They say, for the second they give money, and for the third will begin to allocate land plots. But did anyone think about how the car will transport their children a law-abiding Russian, who follows all the advice of the country's leadership?

But people who plan to give birth to a third child simply need to have a large car, preferably with three rows of chairs. Recently, several new models have been shown at once, which are suitable for large families: Mazda5,

Machines are not bad, no dispute. But you won't call them cheap. Therefore, the show of one of the most affordable seven-world cars in the Russian market caused great interest.

Russian prices for Orlando have not yet been voiced. They will largely depend on the site of the assembly - the management of Chevrolet is seriously thinking about Orlando's organization in Russia (Americans have three options at once: the plant in St. Petersburg, where Opel Astra and Chevrolet Cruze, JV "GM-AvtoVAZ" and the assembly Enterprise "Avtotor" in Kaliningrad). But now it is known that the price of the car will be accurate between Cruze sedan and Captiva SUV. That is, there should be about 700,000 rubles. For a model in the basic, but rather decent configuration. For the seventeent car is not so much. What will have to donate? What do we get for this money? We will try to figure out.

Orlando is based on a platform from Cruze, but the one-applifter is still more sedan. The increase in length of about 12 cm, but at the same time an externally car looks much larger than Cruze. And in general, in the design of Orlando there is something unusual for dispatches. "Many of European MPVs are cars with a very functional single-visual body. But Orlando is a bit different. It has a double body, in which there are features of the usual MPV and SUV cars, which allows ORLANDO to go beyond the existing classification of bodyworks, "the vice president of the design of GM Dat Tevan Kim is sure. And he is absolutely right - they published Chevrolet Orlando really look like a crossover, although the road clearance is the same here as Cruze. And this move can work, especially if the car is "wound" in 18-inch wheels, which go as an option (in the base of 16- or 17-inch). Although I personally would refuse from 18-inch wheels. They look, of course, it is impressive, but the smooth of the course does not add. In this case, the car that claims to the role of family, turns out to be very tough and accurately informs about the passage of joints and small holes even on flat Spanish tracks.

With 16-inch wheels Orlando softer, so I would choose them. With them, smoothness becomes slightly better (although there are complaints about comfort), and manageability suffers too much. True, we will not make a verdict in advance about the comfort. After all, probably for our market characteristics of the chassis will be revised.

The average fuel consumption of a 1.8-liter gasoline unit in a mixed cycle is 7.3 liters per 100 km. The maximum speed ORLANDO 1.8 is 185 km / h, overclocking time is 0-100 km / h occupies 11.6 s. Diesel spends 6.0 liters each 100 km. The maximum speed of the 163-strong car is 195 km / h, overclocking time 0-100 km / h occupies 10 s

But the gasoline 1.8-liter engine will remain the same: 141 hp, 176 n m. Only instead of Euro-5 we will have Euro-4, but the nature of the power unit will not change. We know this - this unit is put on Cruze collected in St. Petersburg. Medium motor. It seems to be enough for a confident ride, but at the same time there is a feeling of some kind of obviousness. As if the engine has a "inviolable" reserve from a dozen horsepower. As a result, for relatively dynamic driving, the motor has to be promoting up to 4000 "revolutions" and more, but even after that the "explosion" does not occur. Although the sound in the cabin at the same time, as if we were "felt on all the money."

2.0-liter diesel power of 163 hp And the moment in 360 N is good (there is another option from 130 hp and 315 nm). Compared with a 1.8-liter gasoline engine, it looks just better. And maybe two. There is already a power supply here, the engine allows you to sharply accelerate if necessary, besides, diesel in the middle revolution zone works ... the quiet gasoline motor. And it is more economical and can be equipped with a good six-speed automatic transmission. The latter works softly and without special delays (it is not clear why, but gasoline Orlando has only "mechanics", but for sure in Russia the automatic transmission will appear - in the end, Cruze 1.8 is equipped with a "automatic"). And now the most important thing. Representatives of Chevrolet stated that the 2.0-liter diesel will be sold in Russia! This is very good news - I would choose it, especially since the segment of medium-sized seven-piece disposals of diesel engines is not so much offered.

But we somehow forgot about the salon. But there is something very interesting. No, we are not talking about the third row of chairs, which can add up to one movement of the hand (you can also fold and the second one, and also without effort - then it turns out a large and flat place where you can sleep if you want to sleep). And not even that due to the adjustment of the angle of inclination of the back of the second row on the third, not the smallest men sit relatively tolerably.

The main "chip" of the cabin is the "head" of the audio system - it can ... to fold. As a result, we have an excellent container for small things. We simply do not think of the best place to store in the stack of sleep, especially if the wife does not know that the magnetic has a "double bottom".

As for all the rest, ORLANDO did not disappoint here. It used to me it seemed that the interior of this car would accurately copy Cruze. But in Chevrolet decided not to save on the work of designers. Of course, everything is done in about the same style, but at the same time ORLANDO's insides turned out to be more "serious." Failed to detect problems with ergonomics. Is that the chairs on the "basic" car have insufficient side support, although the optional seats with leather finish are not bad. But otherwise everything is as expected. Koreans (and Orlando were developed in Korea) learned how to create not the most memorable, but very convenient salons.

So, what conclusion can be done after the test of the new Chevrolet Orlando? This is a good car that has a very interesting appearance and a worthy complete set (already in the database there will be almost all that drivers require from "decent" foreign cars, including "condo", six pillows, "music" and so on). Of course, she has shortcomings. Some competitors have better smoothness and noise insulation, and they have more interesting engines. However, let's not forget about the price. Orlando should be noticeably cheaper than his rivals (we recall, focus on 700,000 rubles. For a car with a 141-strong engine). And already alone this factor guarantees him success in Russia. After all, buyers of cars who have three or more children are simply forced to count money. Therefore, we look at competitors.

Competitors
Ford Grand C-Max

The new generation of Ford Grand C-Max is the most fresh novelty in the segment of seven-dimensional medium-sized single units (only Grand C-Max will be sold in Russia - the five-seater C-Max decided not to supply). The simplest Grand C-MAX will cost in Russia from 799,000 rubles. For this money will be offered cars with "mechanics" and a gasoline engine of 1.6 liters (125 hp). The machine with a 150-strong unit with a volume of 1.6 liters is already 850 100 rubles. The basic equipment of the model is very decent: "Condes", "Music", an electric car, six pillows, a control system and so on.

It's nice that Ford will sell with us and diesel Grand C-MAX, and such a machine will be equipped with only the "machine" (gasoline options are exclusively "mechanics"). Ford Grand C-Max with a 2.0-liter diesel engine (140 hp) and Powershift automatic transmission will cost 934 100 rubles.

Mazda5 is another novelty of this year. This car is sold in Russia only with a 2.0-liter gasoline engine (144 hp) and only in a pair with a "automatic". The configuration is two: Touring for 930,000 rubles. or Sport for 1,009,000 rubles. Moreover, Mazda5 can be equipped with such an option as the electrical mechanism for opening side doors.

What will be in 2019: expensive cars and disputes with the government

Due to the growth of VAT and unclear future state support programs, the car market has new cars in 2019 will continue to rise. We found out how autocompany will negotiate with the government and which new items will be brought.

However, this state of affairs only stimulated buyers to more quickly make decisions, and an additional argument was planned for 2019 the growth of VAT from 18 to 20%. What trials are waiting for the industry in 2019, autonews.ru told leading autocompany.

Numbers: Sales grow 19 months in a row

According to the results of sales of new cars in November 2018, the Russian car market showed an increase of 10% - thus, the market continues to grow for 19 months in a row. According to the Association of European Businesses (AEB), 167,494 new cars were sold in Russia, and in total from January to November, automakers implemented 1,625,351 cars - by 13.7% more than last year's indicator.

According to AEB, December sales results must be comparable to November. And at the end of the year it is expected that the market will reach the figure of 1.8 million sold cars and light commercial vehicles, which will mean a 13 percent plus.

The most noticeable in 2018, according to January to November, sales of LADA (324,797 units, + 16%), KIA (209 503, + 24%), Hyundai (163 194, + 14%), VW (94 877, + 20%), Toyota (96 226, + 15%), Skoda (73 275, + 30%). I began to go to the lost positions in Russia Mitsubishi (39,859 units, + 93%). From the brand noticeably, despite the increase, behind Subaru (7026 units, + 33%) and Suzuki (5303, + 26%).

Tightening sales in BMW (32,512 units, + 19%), Mazda (28 043, + 23%), Volvo (6854, + 16%). "Shot" premium sub-brand from Hyundai - Genesis (1626 units, 76%). Stable in terms of RENAULT (128 965, + 6%), Nissan (67 501, + 8%) Ford (47 488, + 6%), Mercedes-Benz (34 426, + 2%), Lexus (21 831, + 4%) and Land Rover (8 801, + 9%).

Despite positive figures, the total volumes of the Russian market remain low. According to the Avtostat agency, the market has historically showed the market in 2012 - then 2.8 million cars were sold, in 2013 sales decreased to 2.6 million. In 2014, the crisis came only by the end of the year, therefore the dramatic fall of the market did not happen - the Russians managed to buy 2.3 million cars in the "old" prices. But in 2015, sales collapsed to 1.5 million units. Negative dynamics remained in 2016, when sales asked to record low 1.3 million cars. The revival of demand happened only in 2017, when the Russians bought 1.51 million new cars. Thus, to the initial figures of the Russian automotive industry, as well as to the status of the first sales of the market in Europe, which Russia was proper in the pre-crisis years.

Interviewed AutoNews.ru Representatives of autocompany believe that sales of 2019 will be comparable to the results of 2018: according to their estimates, the Russians will buy as many cars or a little less. Most expects to be failed January and February, after which sales will go up again. However, from official forecasts before the new year, the autobrands refuse.

"In 2019, cars purchased for the pre-crisis 2014 will be for five years - for Russians this is a certain psychological mark on which they are ready to think about the replacement of the car," said Kia Marketing Director Valery Tarakanov in a conversation with Autonews.ru.

Prices: Machines Race all year

New cars in Russia after the crisis of 2014. By November 2018 went up by an average of 66%, counted in Avtostat. For 11 months of 2018, cars on average became more expensive by 12%. The experts of the agency came to the conclusion that the car company was now practically played the fall of the ruble in relation to world currencies. But stipulate that this does not mean freezing prices.

Further rise in price will be facilitated by inflation and increase in VAT rates from the beginning of 2019 - from 18% to 20%. Representatives of auto companies in conversations with a correspondent Autonews.ru also do not hide that the growth of VAT will directly affect the cost of cars, and from the very beginning of 2019 it is, for example, confirmed in Renault, AvtoVAZ and KIA.

Discounts, bonuses and new prices: when it is most profitable to buy a car

"On the threshold of the last quarter of the year, the Russian automotive market continued to demonstrate confident growth. However, this pleasant fact did not become a surprise, taking into account the passing wind in the sail of the entire retail sector, counting time before changing the VAT. Among the market participants, fears are growing in relation to the resistance of demand in retail since January 2019, "explained the Chairman of the Committee for automakers AEB YORG Schreiber.

At the same time, autocontracens hope that the ruble rate will not change much in relation to foreign currency, which will avoid racing prices.

Power Support Programs: Dalited two times less

The most popular state support programs in 2018 were allocated twice and less money compared to 2017 - 34.4 billion rubles. instead of the previous 62.3 billion rubles. At the same time, the targeted programs calculated on motorists spent only 7.5 billion rubles. We are talking about such programs as the "first car" and the "family car", which apply to cars worth up to 1.5 million rubles.

The rest of the money went to more specific programs like "their own business" and "Russian tractor". Events on the development and production of vehicles with remote and autonomous control were spent by 1.295 billion, to stimulate the acquisition of land electric transport - 1.5 billion, on measures to stimulate production in the Far East (we are compensation for transportation costs by car companies) - 0.5 billion rubles, for the purchase of gas engine equipment - 2.5 billion rubles.

Thus, the government, as promised, continues to be systematically reduced the volume of industry state support. For comparison: in 2014 exclusively 10 billion rubles. We went to recycling programs and trade-in. In 2015, 43 billion rubles were allocated to support the auto industry, of which 30% also went to dispose and trade-in. In 2016, the costs of state support of the automotive industry reached 50 billion rubles, of which half also spent on similar address programs.

As for 2019, the situation with state support remains. So, in the middle of the year, the Ministry of Industry, in the middle of the year, said that the "first car" and "family car" programs were extended to 2020 inclusive. They should allow buying new cars with a discount of 10-25%. However, automakers argue that they have not yet received any confirmation of the extension of programs - in the Ministry of Industry, they could not clarify the situation and respond to the autonews.ru request.

Meanwhile, at a recent meeting with automakers, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak said that the volume of state support for the domestic automotive industry five times higher than the receipts from this industry to the budget.

"Now it is 9 rubles per ruble of income in the budget system from the car industry. This is with recycling fee, and without utilization collection - 5 rubles of state supports, "he said.

Kozak explained that these figures should be made to think, under what conditions it is necessary to provide state support measures to the auto industry, adding that the overwhelming majority of business sectors do not receive any support from the state.

Disputes with the government: autocompany are unhappy

In 2018, the disputes of autocompany with the government under the terms of further work on the market were aggravated. The reason for the expired terms of the promsborne agreement, which invested in the localization of the production of autocompanyes, a tangible set of benefits, including taxes, has been invested in localization. This situation primarily means that manufacturers in conditions of uncertainty can postpone the launch of new models than, by the way, threatened to Renault. In addition, companies are more difficult to predict their price policy. At the moment, the government in the face of the Ministry of Industry and Maineka has not yet been able to work out a single strategy.

The departments prior to the latter offered different tools in exchange for the completion of the decision on industrial assembly No. 166. Thus, the Ministry of Industry and Technology actively lobbied the signing of individual special investment contracts (visits) between the government and autocompany. The document involves a certain set of benefits, which is determined separately with each subscriber, depending on the size of the investment, including in R & D and the development of exports. This tool has repeatedly criticized the leaders of autocompany for opacity and too stringent requirements in terms of further investment.

In the midek, in turn, they opposed for a long time and insisted that only those who produce high-tech products could be operated on the vessels, to which cars do not belong. The negotiations also included the FAS with a position that companies should not form alliances and consortia, that is, should not be united to sign the speakers. At the same time, it is such an idea of \u200b\u200bcombining brands to obtain a synergistic effect begun to promote in the Ministry of Industry, many years ago.

A conflict situation had to intervene by the Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozaku, who created a special workgroup, invited representatives of all auto companies to it and also expressed a number of his own ideas. But it did not discharge the situation - the auto brands complained about newbies, including Chinese companies that could count on state support from scratch, to invest too high investments in R & D and the organization of exports.

Currently, according to the sources of Autonews.ru, participating in the negotiations, advantage on the side of the Ministry of Industry, and a number of autocompany are already preparing to sign spripes in the new year. And this means new investments, projects and models, the appearance of which the Russian car market can revive.

New models: in 2019 there will be a lot of prime minister

Despite the accurate forecasts from automakers, most of them are preparing a lot of new products for Russia. For example, in Volvo AutoNews.ru they said that they will bring the new Volvo S60 and Volvo V60 Cross Country. Suzuki will launch an updated Vitara SUV and a new compact Jimny SUV.

Skoda next year will bring the updated Superb and crossover KAROQ, Volkswagen in 2019 in 2019, and the Russian sales of Liftback Arteon, as well as new Polo and Tiguan modifications. AvtoVAZ will roll away Lada Vesta Sport, Granta Cross and promises some more new products.

Moreover, now all-terrainers are trying to do from such cars, which, at first glance, do not fit at all! Chevrolet went even further, bay into one bottle at once two products - compacttwan and crossover.

Chopped shapes, an impressive fronton with large headlights, a protective plastic perimeter and even the lining a la aluminum protection under the bumpers - the "Orlando" really grabs the attributes in order to match the role of the sacrifice. Moreover, "Shevy" seduces the 7-seater salon, the rear row of which looks quite complete for adopting not only adolescents in their arms.

Add a loud surname and a ringing memorable name, obtained in honor of the sunny resort in Florida; Rate finally an attractive price ... Now you understand why "Orlando" is increasingly found on our roads? For three months of sales, this car has developed a circulation in 1949 copies - the number is very impressive even by the standards of crossovers! And among the Vennes "Shevi" and at all the best.

How much is?

The reason for the popularity of "Orlando" does not have to look for a long time - just look at the price tag: an impressive compactment with a 7-seater interior begins with a mark of 719,000 rubles. Total! At the same time, in the equipment of the basic version, you will not find a trick - at least at first glance: there is a complete electric car, radio tape recorder, airbag quartet, central locking and heating of the front seats. Even such pleasant little things like the rear armrest with cup holders and a glacial! But the air conditioner has no cheap machine. It can be ordered separately, but it is decent - 36,000 rubles.

And it already finds out that if you buy "Orlando" not for the last money, the LS version will be much more profitable.

First, it provides for air conditioning. Secondly, the remaining 45 thousand falls on security alarms, fog lights and a number of improvements in the cabin, as well as on the very necessary family airbags, ESP and belt pretensioners. And finally, thirdly: Ls is the most affordable equipment that can be supplemented with an automatic box.

Is it worth it to stop or prefer the third version of LS + - to solve only you. In principle, a 20-thousand surcharge for disks made of light alloy, climate control, USB connector and improved by high-frequency speakers an audio system seems quite adequate. It happens to me to choose "Orlando" as a vehicle for his family, I would take exactly this option.

But LT, which is sold exclusively with the ACP at a price of 899,000 rubles, no longer contains this, without which it was impossible to do the buyer of the budget Wen. Really useful options should recognize except the rear parking sensor and the electric folding mirrors. However, separately get these benefits will not work: all configurations are hard fixed.

Nevertheless, within 700-900 thousand you will not be able to pick up a different 7-seater car, which would unite the advantages of Wen and Crossover. Alternative to "Orlando" from the point of view of the functionality, it is possible to assume only the sorts of various caliber, the prices of 1.2-1.7 million. By the way, outside Russia, there are cars that are preached by such an ideology: it suffices to recall at least "Volkswagen Cross-Turan "or" Nissan-Grand Livina ", which we never sold.

And among the purebred WaNs, only "Zafira-Family" (from 784,900 rubles) turns out to be the closest at the price. But this is a model of seven years old, which is also completely similar to the crossover.

So it turns out that "Orlando" turned out to be in such a market segment, where no one else no longer. So his goal is to cut coupons. It is gratifying that not only the price is helped to engage such a pleasant activity of "Shevi".

Outside and inside

At first glance, it is noticeable that "Orlando" does not try to seem extravagant and sophisticated. Chopped shapes and a cattle posture - here's his style! Such a design can be unconditionally like or, on the contrary, to cause persistent rejection, but it is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent.

To "Chevrolet" do not need long and carefully look closely to discover in its appearance such advantages like a high roof, wide doors, fairly removed from the Earth thresholds and practical lining of non-colored plastic. And with the stern the car can really accept for the crossover! In addition, it is clearly noticeable that the bumpers are sufficiently highly suspended at the Orlando, so that when parking, high borders can not be particularly cautious. In general, appearance is a clear plus car.

But inside the crossover essence does not give itself: it is a typical large wagon with a high ceiling. As befits the representative of the "Bus" family, in the salon "Orlando" light and air. In the second row, the space reigns: the width of the width is enough for three adults. For greater convenience, the sofa back is adjusted along the angle of inclination. It's enough space for the legs: only that passenger will be written the front chair exceeds 190 cm - and then, provided that in front of him, it is equal to the same significant individual.

The third row can also be called full: the pillow from the ceiling separates 91 cm - by the way, it is more than on the sofa so popular with the sedan "Solaris". The minimum distance to the back of the sofa is 0.6 m - is hardly the best indicator among compact representatives! In addition, if you put the back of the front armchair, just more vertically, you can free up 4 more cm of the foot space.

However, if from the point of view of the "Orlando" capacity, it is possible to recognize almost the best of compactners, then in terms of the hiking and household service it is nothing more than a good: tables in the backrests of the seats, the seafers in the floor, removable chairs - all this is not about "Shevi" . However, the constructors still did not forget to supply it with the required attributes of family cars: in Orlando, many cup holders are provided, comfortable armrests, hooks for clothing and even 12-volt sockets on all three rows of seats.

Wegor suitcases

How easy it is to guess, in the struggle for space in the cabin, the trunk suffered: for the backs of the third row, except that a couple of small handbags will be able to fit. However, such a sinner is found for many 7-seater cars.

But if you add to the floor of at least one of the six chairs (for this, it is enough to pull for a grasp handle on the back), "Orlando" will provide a hold, comparable by volume with the trunk of the usual hatchback "Golf" -class. Is that for a more reliable fastening of goods will have to buy rigging nets: there was no place for them in the staff schedule.

It is logical that as the number of passengers decreases the trunk will grow with a useful volume. And if in the standard 5-seater configuration, the machine provides 466 liters for the booster, then folding both rows of seats, we will get almost a 1.5-cubic van.

Moreover, at the beginning of next year, the cargo abilities of the machine will be even more obvious: a version with a folding back of the right front chair will be released to the market, in which it will be possible to carry a long time with a length of up to 2.7 m.

It is a pity that engineers have been too low located the trunk curtain: the big suitcases are tested under it only the plafhmy. In addition, the minuses also include the high threshold of the hold.

Behind the wheel

Again, compactners, like crossovers, often bribe a high landing behind the wheel. "Orlando" is no exception. Drivers who prefer to sit on the topper, will certainly appreciate the large (within seven centimeters) the adjustment range of the armchair in height. The steering column has a complete set of adjustments; And the optimal diameter of the steering wheel is rich in comfortable tides in the region of grip. In general, a person of any growth and physique will be able to settle in Shevi.

True, in general, Ergonomics "Orlando" is still not ideal. "Mechanics" makes you get used to the long movement of the lever; And when manipulations with a joystick adjusting the mirrors, which has a vertical orientation, has to be unnaturally bending the hand. Like many other Venany, "Orlando" has a large area of \u200b\u200bglazing, but even significant objects can remain unnoticed at a high subcast line.

Finally, the most obvious ergonomic miscalculation should be recognized as a wisdom algorithm of the on-board computer: information that can be obtained on many machines using a pair of clicks on a single button, in "Orlando" you get, rotating the wheel and fucked the keys located on the right hand lever . And if the situation with a fuel consumption or stock is even more understandable, then behind the interpretation of the inscriptions like "Unit Set" or "Code" has to contact the instruction manual, which clarifies that it comes to, it turns out about the units of measurement or faults in Different systems.

On the roads ...

Motor with a volume of 1.8 liters, having a variable phase of the gas distribution and the varying length of the intake path, issues 141 power. Possessing these knowledge, I waited from the "Orlando" of the excellent dynamics. But deceived: the engine is lucky with an explicit Natuga and except that it does not stall under the burden on small speeds! Meanwhile, the engine should be a bobby: "Zafira" with exactly the same engine is not as an example of more fun!

Only after 2500 rpm, the engine wakes up, and when the tachometer arrow passes a four thousandbile mark, demonstrates the ability to vividly gain momentum. And yet the "Orlando" can be cleverly allowed only in cases where there is no one else in the car other than the driver. With the full load and with the enabled climate control during overclocking, Nesterpimo wants to sleep. And it is on the "hand"!

And how do modifications behave with a 6-speed "automatic"? The box switches softly and spiritually, but for automatic convenience they will have to pay with temperament, being accustomed to ride extremely slowly. The ACP in his desire to please the ecology tries not to wish the extra gasoline, it does not allow to get involved in high turns. In an attempt to stir "Orlando" you risk withdrawing a box from a state of mental equilibrium. And when it all happens, you can hardly adapt to the chaotic way of switching. Is that a transmission selector to manual mode can be achieved at least some mutual understanding. True, do not blame me if the salon is filled with a roar: the motor is not shyling to vote on high speed.

But it ruls "Orlando" is very good. The car always follows the specified direction and pleases in small rolls. And only at speeds in turns with an uneven coating, it becomes noticeable as the rear axle strives to jump off the trajectory. The suspension in any case retains the optimal balance between comfort and energy intensity. On the small irregularities of "Shevi" seemed slightly harsh, and on the tile, framing tramways, demonstrated the amazing softness of the adoption. But even very serious Colds are not able to force Ven to move the border of comfort: sometimes it comes to even the fact that on a seriously broken country highway you start to drive on the principle of "more speed, less holes": the machine is very condescendingly related to such barbarism.

... and without them

However, it is still not worth abuse of an all-friendly suspension. Chassis "Orlando", though strengthened, taking into account the considerable "bus" weight, it is still borrowed from a passenger cruise "and in no case is not designed for unreacted exploitation in harsh environments.

And yet, according to the standards of WaN on the primer, "Orlando" demonstrates a worthy extract. From the Earth to Steel Carter Protection, I measured 16 cm. The thresholds are raised by another 4 cm above, and the silencer and the pendant parts are thoroughly attracted to the bottom. Eh, I would have the "Shevi" also four-wheel drive ... AN no: He can only have the front wheels. So on the off-road dispute with real crossovers "Orlando" will lose. But on the background of competitors in the class like "Mazda-5" or "Citroen-Grand C4-Picasso", our "Crusader" looks like well done.

Safety

Crash tests Euro NCAP "Orlando" passed on perfectly. The car scored 34.4 points, which made it possible to earn the maximum possible 5 stars. Such a high result is explained by the fact that the "Chevrolet" keeps the side blow well, and this test is carried out exclusively in the presence of window pillows. In Russia, as we have said, they appear only in the LS version simultaneously with the system of dynamic stabilization and seat belt pretensioners - the latter reduce the risk of injury to the chest.

For the transport of children, you can use both ordinary wheels and those that use the fasteners of isofix - the corresponding loops are provided on the sofa. By the way, already in the basic configuration "Orlando" allows you to disconnect the right front pillow: this is a necessary measure for installing a children's seat, the backrest.

Operation, service

20.03.2017

Chevrolet Orlando (Chevrolet Orlando.) - Five-door seven family compactment, manufactured by General Motors, with a landmark for Asian and European markets. In our market, the choice of interesting family cars is not so great, so when this model only appeared in the car dealerships, the queues immediately lined up. The creators of Orlando guess not only with the needs of family motorists, but also with the functionality and design of the car. The attractiveness of the model also gives the low cost. Unfortunately, the new Chevrolet Orlando is not available on all CIS markets, but if you really like this car, it is not worth upset, since the secondary market shows a fairly large selection of used copies of this car.

A bit of history:

The first photos of the Chevrolet Orlando concept appeared on the network in the distance 2007, it was then it became clear that the company prepares a completely new family car to the market. In 2008, the world premiere of this model was held at the Paris Motor Show, however, mass production started only in 2010. For Chevrolet, this is the first minivan oriented European market. Chevrolet Orlando was created on the "Delta" platform, but with an increased wheelbase, it was also built on it. The construction of the machine was engaged in the Korean division of the concern "GM". Initially, the car was produced in Korea, but, most of the copies presented in the secondary CIS market were collected by the large-sized method at the Kaliningrad Avtotor Plant (Russia) and in Uzbekistan.

Externally, Orlando is not similar to classic minivans and more resembles a small crossover. It was done not by chance, the departure from the single-volume layout was called upon to position a novice as an alternative to the front-wheel drive crossovers. Dimensions cars: Long - 4470 mm; Width - 1780 mm; height - 1650 mm; Wheel base - 2760 mm. The fact that the donor platform for Orlando is Chevrolet Cruz, has significantly reduced production costs and ensure good handling.

Problem places and ailments of Chevrolet Orlando with mileage

The owners of this model are rarely complaining about problems with paint and varnish and corrosion resistance of the body. The exception is only chrome elements that, after the first winter, are coated with corrosion and bubbles. Some body elements and electronic equipment can prevent many small, but annoying troubles. For example, the outdoor temperature sensor is very often falling off. Drain under the wiper brushes has insufficient patency, because of this, a lot of dirt accumulates on the plastic, which, with time, falls under the hood. There are claims and the performance of regular parking sensors - not always warn on the approach to the obstacle, as a result, a collision occurs.

Engines

Chevrolet Orlando is equipped with only two power units: gasoline - 1.8 (141 hp); Diesel - 2.0 (130, 163 hp). The main disadvantage of the gasoline motor is not technical problems, but its small power, which is not enough for such a car. Especially acute the power shortage is felt on the track during overtaking overall machines. Also, the features of the car include jumps of revolutions when driving the engine. Of the technical disadvantages of this power unit, it is possible to note a small resource of the oil pressure sensor. When it is malfunctioning on the instrument panel, the low pressure indicator lights up, also, there are cases of oil leakage from under the sensor.

Closer to 100,000 km on most copies, the thermostat fails, if you do not follow this, it is not difficult to overheat the engine. The problems with the fuel trunk went to Orlando from the senior one-platform Chevrolet Cruz, as a rule, the problem is manifested in small runs and is eliminated by the dealer under warranty (tubes and clamps change). Despite the small engine volume, it is difficult to call this car economical (consumption in the city is 12-14 liters per 100 km).

Diesel machines on the secondary market are very few, as a result, there are practically no statistics on their faults. The only thing that can be argued with confidence is that this type of engine is very sensitive to the quality of the fuel. If refueling on unverified gas stations, expensive repair will not make himself wait a long time (nozzles fail, the EGR valve, etc.). Also, it is worth noting that diesel cars are very long warmed, and not only in winter. Some owners have discovered a mysterious plastic bar under the car. After contacting the service it turned out that it was a boot, which is between the main radiator and the air conditioner radiator. On most copies, it is poorly fixed.

Transmission

Chevrolet Orlando can be equipped with one of two transmissions - five-speed mechanics or a six-speed machine. Both transmissions are quite reliable, however, many owners comes on a sufficiently rigid operation of the machine. When switching from the first to the second and second to the third transmission is strongly pushed, also pushes and jerks are possible after a complete stop of the car. In most cases, to eliminate the problem, it is enough to reflash the transmission control unit, however, there are often cases when you have to change the hydraulicock, and this is the pleasure of not cheap. The owners of cars with a manual transmission mark the problem with the clutch pedal, after pressing the pedal is not returned to its original position. To eliminate the problem, the spring replacement is required. On the mileage of 80-100 thousand km, due to the violation of the sapunion, there are oils through the glands of the left semi-axis. The adhesion at medium loads is 100-120 thousand km.

Design, Features and Disadvantages of Chevrolet Orlando Pendant

This model is equipped with a semi-dependent suspension: McPherson racks are installed in front, a semi-independent suspension with a combined transverse beam. Through the use of hydraulic supports, a high level of control over the behavior of the car and good isolation of passengers from vibrations even on roads with poor road surface quality. Despite this, many owners criticize the running for excessive rigidity. If we talk about the reliability of this design, then, in practice, the car suspension has proven itself very hardy.

If you do not take into account the racks and bushings of the stabilizer (there are an average of 30-40 thousand km), with medium loads, the suspension does not require capital investments up to 100,000 km. The first of the building is the ball supports and hub bearings, it happens on the run of 100-130 thousand km. Of the features of the suspension, it is worth noting the increased noise when driving around an uneven road. One of the weaknesses of chassis is the brake system, for example, the resource of the front pads is only 20-30 thousand km, drives - up to 80,000 km. Many owners managed to solve the problem, replacing the original brake pads to high-quality analogs.

Salon

The interior of the car is made of high-quality materials and very rarely documented its owners with crickets and other outsiders. From the lack of salon, it is possible to note the low wear resistance of glossy plastic inserts (scratches appear quickly). Also, many owners raise on strong fogging of glasses. As for the reliability of electrical equipment, there were no often revealed failures. In rare cases, the air conditioner refuses, it takes place on mileage up to 50,000 km (the problem is eliminated by the warranty dealer). Also, there are leaks of the stoves.

Outcome:

It is one of the most interesting options in the segment of compact family minivans, not only due to appearance and functionality, but also acceptable reliability.
