For Russians not spoiled by super-incomes, the desire to buy an inexpensive, reliable and comfortable car. Nissan and AvtoVAZ focused on meeting demand in this segment starting in 2014 on the basis Lada Granta release of the budget sedan Datsun on-Do and its twin mi-Do in a hatchback body.

The timeliness and potential of the idea is confirmed by real figures. In 2017, more than 24.5 thousand cars of these models were sold in Russia alone, He-Do entered the TOP 20 cars sold in the country, and sales growth exceeded 30%.

The success of the brand is due to the harmonious combination attractive appearance, a variety of equipment and accessories and competent technical solutions. The latter includes the selection of optimal engines for car configurations.

Engines installed on Datsun.

Current equipment options (according to the official website of the brand) include:

• VAZ-made power units VAZ 11186 (volume 1.6 liters and power 87 hp) and VAZ 21127 (with figures of 1.6 liters and 106 hp, respectively);
• 5-speed manual transmission VAZ 2187 and automatic four-speed transmission Jatco (Japan), optimized for use in tandem with an 87 hp engine.

The equipment is installed on Datsun on-Do cars of all trim levels:

• Access - only an 87-horsepower internal combustion engine with a manual transmission is installed.
• Trust I - the cheap version of the series is equipped similarly to the most budget car - a five-speed manual transmission and an 87 hp unit.
• Trust II - is equipped with both engines and transmissions (with a less powerful one, a manual transmission is used, and with a more powerful one, an automatic transmission is used).
• Trust III – by choosing it the buyer receives maximum possibilities– 106-horsepower engine with a five-speed manual transmission.
• Dream I – more cheap version received equipment similar to Trust II.
• Dream II is the maximum configuration, equipped like Trust III.

Previously, another LADA internal combustion engine, the VAZ 11183, was installed on Datsun on-Do in the cheapest trim levels, but with the start of production of sedans with a powerful 16-valve engine, they abandoned its use.

Engine characteristics.

The power units used on Datsun have proven themselves over several years of operation. The characteristics of this equipment fit perfectly into the concept of the car, giving it required level operational indicators.

Engine VAZ 11183.

The VAZ engine 11183 was developed for installation on the Lada Kalina and cars of the corresponding class.

The design was based on the VAZ 21114 variant, which was equipped with more early models. To obtain the required level of performance, specialists carried out a deep modification of the design. She touched:

• cylinder block height - an increase of 2.3 mm made it possible to obtain a larger working volume;
• crankshaft crank radius - to comply with the new block dimensions, it had to be increased by 2.3 mm, due to which the piston stroke increased;
• the shape of the combustion chamber - it is optimized in terms of limiting the compression ratio.

These and other developments made it possible to obtain an economical and reliable unit With high level performance indicators and the following characteristics.

The power unit currently remains unclaimed due to a lack of power, which is evidenced by the dynamic performance of the car.

Engine VAZ 11186.

This internal combustion engine is almost identical to the previous one, however, due to its better thrust-to-weight ratio, it is used more widely. It was and is installed on Kalinas and Grants, and is included in both budget Datsun models.

The developers achieved improved performance by modifying the firmware and using lightweight connecting rods and pistons.

As a result, the following changed:

Fuel consumption indicators - per 100 km (city / highway / mixed cycle) required:

Typical problems with Datsun on-DO and mi-DO engines.

The most common problems with the VAZ 11183/11186 internal combustion engine include:

• Interruptions in idle mode are the most common cause there are problems fuel system (typical option – air sensor mass flow) and weight problems.
• Knocking in a cold internal combustion engine and at idle speed is attributed by the manufacturer to the peculiarities of the internal combustion engine;
• Overheating is caused by the design of the thermostat, which fails quite often.
• Floating speeds are often associated with the throttle sensor.

In general, engine electronics and firmware constantly attract the attention of car owners.

Along with the increase in power, the 11186 acquired a problem that was well known to its owners. VAZ cars and employees of service centers - it bends the valve when the timing belt breaks (11183 does not suffer from this).

There are quite a lot of problems and powerful motor VAZ 21127

• The main disadvantage is also inherent in it - when the timing belt breaks, it also bends the valve;
• Problems of floating speed at idle and starting a cold engine, cases when the engine stalls while driving are a periodic phenomenon. Actually, the design features of the unit do not allow you to get rid of them forever.
• The new tailoring has reduced the number of old problems, but added new ones, such as failure electronic pedal gas.

Datsun engine and gearbox: new details

it became known that new Datsun will receive an engine from VAZ, as well as a gearbox

Thanks to the automobile publication Carobka, new details have appeared about the engine and gearbox of the new Datsun.

The budget new product will have a base of 2476 mm, and in length it will exceed the Grant by 70 mm, and will be 4330 mm.

It is already known for sure that in the spring (or rather in April) 2014, AvtoVAZ will release two Datsun models at once. Of course, these will be the sedan (index 2195) body type, which is favorite for Russians, and the no less popular hatchback (index 2197). There will also be several trim levels, the most expensive of which will have 8 valve engine 1.6 liter capacity, which produces 87 hp. Yes, the same engine is installed on Kalina and Granta, and now Datsun will also receive it. IN maximum configuration Datsun will have two airbags, an audio system with USB and front speakers, as well as anti-lock braking ABS system.

Regarding the transmission, there are new items. It is not yet known for sure whether the VAZ box will be installed on the new Datsun, and if it is installed, whether there will be changes, but there are already photos of Japanese manual transmission drawings, where changes are proposed to improve the reliability of the entire transmission unit.

Left in bottom corner The measures that are apparently planned to be taken to improve the checkpoint are written in Russian:

• change the type of synchronizers;
• improve the tooth profile;
• use reinforced bearings;
• something about gear ratios.

Engine characteristics 21116 Datsun on-Do and mi-Do

The VAZ 21116 (11186) engine for Datsun, despite having only 87 horses, is a good product. It stubbornly spins up from below, and does not wane in the upper range.

It is known that even basic modifications The Datsun on-Do and Mi-Do are well equipped with both safety equipment and optional extras. However, the power unit installed on these cars is the most important criterion in choosing a car. So in this article we will talk specifically about the dynamic data of the VAZ 21116 (11186) engine.

A good and compact unit in the Datsun engine compartment.

Technological features

These include a lightweight connecting rod and piston group. It is this feature that not only sets the Datsun engine apart from a series of similar ones, but also has a beneficial effect on its temperament. This motor is more powerful, more torquey and more elastic than its counterparts.

Tabular data

They're not impressive. After all, the power of such an on-Do is equal to 87 horses, and even then at 5,100 rpm. At 3,800 rpm, torque reaches 140 Newtons. In 12.4 seconds, he-Do with this engine can break a hundred, and also accelerate to 167 km/h.

This engine is quite good at overclocking.

Despite the modest indicators, paper data does not always reflect the true state of affairs - according to Datsun owners, the car drives much more cheerfully than one would expect from it.

Check-in

The Lada Granta was chosen for it, as it is in many ways identical to the Datsun model, with a similar engine, similar weight and other indicators. All measurements took place on a flat section of the route, with standard tires type KAMA-217, on standard 14-inch wheels. AI-95 was filled into the tank. At the same time, no metamorphoses were carried out either in the power unit or in the transmission.

Datsun mi-DO engine (hatchback) characteristics, device

The main engine of the Datsun Mi is gasoline engine displacement 1.6 liters with a power of 87 hp. This power unit cannot be modern, since its various modifications have been installed on Lada cars for many years. This is an 8-valve engine with a single camshaft and a timing belt drive equipped electronic injection fuel. The engine itself Datsun mi-DO on domestic cars it has the factory marking VAZ-11186. Actually, even a cursory glance under the hood Japanese Datsun It is clear that there is a native, domestic and painfully familiar engine there.

The 8-valve engine is not particularly reliable due to the timing belt. Also fuel consumption for small car could have been smaller. By the way, the engine only consumes 95-gasoline. The dynamics are also not hurricane. Overall, the powertrain is average for a budget car. Datsun representatives say that the settings of the engines themselves differ from those used by VAZ.

As for the Datsun transmission, in this case too, the Datsun manufacturers decided not to experiment, but to use a domestic one manual box 5-speed gear shift. The same one is installed on the Lada Kalina. A feature of the Datsun Mi Do hatchback will be the presence of an automatic option, which in Datsun sedans on-DO is not provided. Automatic transmission Datsun already Japanese made Jatco company (it is also on Lada). Machine model JF414E. This is a 4-speed automatic transmission (a full-fledged torque converter), which they promise to equip Datsun hatchbacks with.

Datsun on-DO engine (sedan) device, timing, characteristics

Datsun engine it is up to, like common platform, domestic. If you look under the hood of a Datsun, you will find a painfully familiar engine, the ancestor of which was in the VAZ 2108. This engine has, of course, been modernized, but the design itself is already several decades old. Let's look at a photo of the engine compartment of a Datsun car. The use of a domestic engine in a budget Datsun car is justified, since repair and maintenance of such an engine can be carried out in any garage on our own. Considering that the new budget sedan aimed at regional buyers, where the service may not be very good, then this choice is logical.

Datsun buyers are offered two engine modifications with 82 and 87 hp. More powerful engine It has lightweight pistons and connecting rods, which increases not only horsepower, but also torque. Among other things, the 87 horsepower engine is also more economical. Today the engine is 82 hp. Lada buyers are familiar with it under the name VAZ-11183, a more powerful power unit of 87 hp. has the index VAZ-11186. The gas distribution mechanism (GRM) of both power units is exactly the same and is driven by a belt. Yes, the Datsun engine has a timing belt. Both engines have 8 valves for 4 cylinders, the camshaft is traditionally located on top. The inline 4-cylinder engine has phased fuel injection as its power system. Motors match environmental standard Euro 4, AI-95 gasoline is used as fuel.

As for the transmission of the Datsun sedan, here too the Japanese decided not to reinvent the wheel, but to take a ready-made VAZ 5-speed manual gearbox. The manufacturer himself claims that for front wheel drive car Datsun on-DO domestic box slightly modernized to reduce vibration and noise. Gear ratio main couple Datsun 3.7 manual transmission, like Granta. The manufacturer decided not to install an automatic transmission on the Datsun sedan. But it is already known for sure that the automatic will appear on the Datsun mi-DO hatchback.

How to break in the new Datsun on-Do and mi-Do

Break-in for a new Datsun on-DO is absolutely necessary, which is emphasized in the manual, where the main criteria are located.

How to ensure that breakdowns do not plague the car’s power unit from the very beginning and do not darken the owner’s joy of purchase? The answer is to break in the car correctly.

Is it necessary to run-in a Datsun?

This process is required for grinding in engine parts, since individual components have not yet been broken in. Otherwise, there are risks that the engine components will not be broken in correctly, and this will entail not only increased appetite, but also loss of power, rapid failure of parts and other consequences.

Steady driving is the first factor of success!

The instruction manual for Datsun gives detailed instructions regarding this procedure.

Break-in - what is it and why?

Generally speaking, this is driving a car at a calm, moderate pace for the first time - about 1,500 - 3,000 km. To do this, you will need to exclude dynamic accelerations, driving fast, serious loads and others negative factors.

The ride should be smooth, but not monotonous.

How to run in a new Datsun on-Do and Mi-Do car

The operating manual for the Datsun on-Do and Datsun mi-Do models clearly indicates the criteria for successful break-in. It should be carried out over 1,600 km. Run-in conditions:

1. Revolutions - it is not allowed to exceed 4,000 revolutions on the tachometer;
2. Start - moving away should be smooth, without sudden acceleration;
3. Constant speed- while driving speed mode it is necessary to vary, since long-term driving at one speed (low or high) is extremely undesirable;
4. Trailer - its towing is strictly prohibited for the first 800 km;
5. Gas to the floor - acceleration in this style is prohibited during the break-in period, and this does not depend on the gear.

The speed should not be too high.

Following the manual regarding the break-in process guarantees excellent dynamics, efficiency and reliability.

Fuel consumption in Datsun on-Do and Mi-Do models

The efficiency of the power unit is the goal pursued by almost all motorists, including the owners of Datsun models. To do this, they use various tricks. However, they forget that the main thing is the good condition of the car. If your Datsun on-Do or Datsun mi-Do is in good condition technical condition, then the need to reduce appetite simply disappears.

What is the fuel consumption of the Datsun on-Do and Mi-Do?

As you know, the Datsun on-Do, as well as the mi-Do, are equipped with engines from the Lada Granta 87 hp. This engine is quite optimized, calibrated and produces optimal consumption fuel with good dynamic characteristics.

Factory fuel consumption values:

What people write about this:

The mileage is already over 12 tk. I drive 50/50 city-highway. On the highway I’m not being modest, 140 km/h, and even more when overtaking. The computer shows 7.5 l/100km, sometimes changes to 7.4. Fuel is only 95.

Mileage is almost 6t.km. consumption city 80% + highway 20% 7.5-8 l/hundred depending on the severity of traffic jams at the moment. Run 40 km on one shoulder. Fuel is 95. If, on the contrary, the highway/city ratio is 6-6.3 l/hundred, depending on the number of people and the installed aerodynamic cross members. The cross members give about +0.3 to the consumption per hundred. The rails don't do anything at all - I travel with them all the time. On the highway the speed is up to 130 km/h - on the new M11, I usually keep it at 110. I think that in terms of consumption the engine is quite reasonable.

How to reduce gas mileage on a Datsun?

In such a situation, the main thing is to adjust your driving style so that the car does not consume too much. To do this, you should consider some recommendations:

Tire pressure - it should be optimal, exactly as indicated in the operating manual. With underinflated tires, consumption increases as the contact patch between the wheel and the coating increases. Deviation from the specified norm is allowed by no more than 0.3 bar.

Optimal pressure- a guarantee of efficiency and more.

Condition of the Datsun on-Do air filter - over time, this element becomes clogged, which is due to the large volume of air passing through it. You should not completely rely on the manual - sometimes you need to remove the filter element and evaluate its condition. To do this, just look through the paper at the sun. It should be translucent. If this is not the case, it’s time to change the filter.

- “Gas to the floor” - this driving style on the Datsun mi-Do is clearly not for those who strive to save money. Indeed, during sudden starts, the engine ECU is forced to produce an enriched mixture.

Air conditioning – driving in a cool cabin is certainly comfortable. But don’t turn it on all the time, because even the instructions indicate that this option not only reduces power, but also leads to an increase in Datsun’s gasoline consumption by about 1 liter per 100 km.

Air conditioning - a nice device or a “fuel lover”?

Synthetic oil– used in Datsun engine oil must be exclusively synthetic, as it has a low degree of viscosity. This will provide a 5% reduction in fuel consumption.

Synthetic motor oil - guarantee correct operation engine.

Driving in traffic jams - traffic jams are the worst enemy of an economical driver, as they force them to constantly move in a ragged rhythm. In this case, it is recommended not only to start smoothly, but also to move evenly.

Ignition - few people know, but problems in the ignition system can increase Datsun consumption mi-Do by a third! So there should be no questions about the serviceability of this component.

Weight - extra elements on the body (tuning), etc. make the car obviously heavier and do not always help optimize aerodynamic qualities, since owners often buy non-original components. And useless belongings in the trunk have a negative impact on fuel consumption.

Wind - many people drive a Datsun with the windows open. No doubt it's nice in the summer, but... high speed open windows seriously worsen aerodynamics, with all the consequences...

The Datsun on-DO sedan received good specifications in its B-class. Despite its compactness, the Datsun on-DO car looks decent in the domestic automobile market.

dimensions

The wheelbase of the Datsun on-DO provides adequate comfort on the road and is 2476 mm with a vehicle length of 4337 mm. The width and height of the body are 1700 and 1500 mm, respectively. Ground clearance (clearance) is 174 mm.

Luggage compartment

The Datsun on-DO has a spacious trunk and is superior to the domestic Lada Granta. The loading volume of the sedan is 530 liters. Additionally, the trunk accommodates a full-size spare tire.

The Datsun on-DO sedan is equipped with a Lada Kalina engine familiar to Russian car enthusiasts. The engine has four cylinders, which are in-line. The eight-valve engine installed in the Datsun on-DO has a volume of 1.6 liters (1596 cm³). The distributed fuel injection system equipped with the engine is controlled electronically, which is a plus from a technical point of view.

The maximum power of the unit is 87 horsepower(also equipped with an 82-horsepower unit) and reaches 5100 rpm, while the peak torque is at 140 Nm at 3800 rpm.

The maximum speed of the unit is 165 kilometers per hour, while it reaches a hundred in 12.9 seconds. You can see the engine in the photo below.

Transmission

Before installing the transmission on the Datsun on-DO, the developers significantly modernized the domestic gearbox. Datsun on-DO is equipped only with a five-speed manual transmission, which received cable drive Atsumitec brand. German company Shaeffler equips the vehicle with shift forks.

Currently automatic transmission gears have not been implemented, but the development company plans to equip its cars in 2016.

Fuel consumption

The car fully complies with EURO-4 standards and meets all environmental requirements and characteristics. Datsun on-DO consumes 9.7 liters in city mode, 6.1 liters on the highway and 7.4 liters in combined mode.

The preferred brand of gasoline for the sedan is AI-95.

Suspension and handling

The Datsun on-DO is equipped with front-wheel drive, which it inherited from the Lada. Specialists from Nissan have debugged and perfected the suspension.

Improving the domestic suspension from Lada allowed Japanese engineers to increase the ground clearance to 174 mm. This ground clearance exceeds the characteristics of the Granta. Thanks to such technical subtleties, driving a Datsun on-DO car becomes much easier.

The front wheels are installed on the Datsun on-DO sedan thanks to McPherson, which has already become a standard in the automotive industry. Rear wheels are installed on a transmission beam with a semi-independent circuit.

The suspension elements are perfectly balanced from a technical point of view and make the Datsun sedan practical and reliable on our roads.

Results

For minor overall dimensions body, Datsun on-DO has excellent technical characteristics. The parameters are supported by affordability, making Datsun on-DO a worthy representative in the Russian automobile market.

Basic Datsun mi engine, this is a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with a power of 87 hp. This power unit cannot be modern, since its various modifications have been installed on Lada cars for many years. This is an 8-valve engine with a single camshaft and a timing belt drive equipped with electronic fuel injection.

Myself Datsun mi-DO engine on domestic cars it has factory markings VAZ-11186. In fact, even a quick glance under the hood of a Japanese Datsun makes it clear that there is a native, domestic and painfully familiar engine.

The 8-valve engine is not particularly reliable due to the timing belt. Also, fuel consumption for a small car could be lower. By the way, the engine only consumes 95-gasoline. The dynamics are also not hurricane. Overall, the powertrain is average for a budget car. Datsun representatives say that the settings of the engines themselves differ from those used by VAZ.

Concerning Datsun transmissions, then in this case the Datsun manufacturers decided not to experiment, but to use a domestic manual gearbox with 5 steps. The same one is installed on the Lada Kalina. A special feature of the Datsun Mi DO hatchback will be the presence of an automatic option, which is not provided in the Datsun on-DO sedan. The Datsun automatic transmission is already made in Japan by Jatco (it is also found on Ladas). Machine model JF414E. This is a 4-speed automatic transmission (a full-fledged torque converter), which they promise to equip Datsun hatchbacks with.

The question remains: will Datsun use the more modern, powerful and economical 16-valve Lada engines? Or the status of a very budget Japanese brand will not allow more expensive power units to be installed under the Datsun hood.

Sales began in our country last year unusual car. Uniqueness Datsun models on-DO is that it was created on the basis of the Russian Lada platforms Granta. In addition to the body, AvtoVAZ’s Japanese partner also borrowed engines, which were, of course, modified. The company's plans for the sale of the car included the creation of a network of car dealerships; the model will be serviced at Nissan technical centers.

Datsun on-DO belongs to the category of economy class cars and is obviously going to displace Russian and Russian products in this niche. made in China, as well as used cars from Europe.

The motives of the Russian auto giant, which, in the face of falling sales of its own products, are adding another competitor to it, are not entirely clear. In this case, it is difficult to count on growth in sales of Granta and Kalina.

Obviously, the actions of the Russian company make sense, and partial losses of profits from the reduction in sales of its own models will be compensated in another way.

The car was specially created for the Russian market and Japanese engineers did a good job on it. In terms of equipment, the Datsun On-DO is significantly superior Chinese models, and it’s not even worth talking about quality.

History of creation and place of production

The Nissan company has long been eyeing a huge capacity Russian market. It was under this direction of development that it was revived trademark Datsun and a completely logical question arises: why?

The explanation is quite simple: between and VAZ Grants and Kalina there is a fairly large cluster that is not occupied by anyone.

Datsun on-DO is designed to fill this price niche. Quite a significant number of our fellow citizens have the means to purchase something better than domestic cars, but not enough to buy a Japanese car.

In addition to market prospects, considerations of prestige also played a significant role in the re-creation of the brand: Nissan did not dare to give its name to a budget model so as not to lose face in the segment expensive cars premium class.

Datsun on-DO is already being assembled on one of the conveyors in Tolyatti from components produced in-house and imported. Given the successful start official sales the company plans to increase production. At the same time, the production of most parts and assemblies will gradually be mastered by Russian enterprises.

The width and height of the car are 1700 mm and 1500 mm, respectively; in terms of ground clearance of 185 mm, the car approaches the category of crossovers.

In general, the appearance of the Datsun on-DO is quite presentable for its class: modern lighting technology harmoniously fits between the headlights and a hexagonal radiator grille.

More than anything Russian origin visible when looking at the car in profile, the body lines clearly give Grant away. To soften the impression, moldings painted in body color are attached to the doors.

The food is pretty typical tail lights collected in blocks, they are compact and not too conspicuous. In general, the appearance, as recognized by both specialists and the general public, is quite harmonious.

Interior

Regarding the interior, the designers tried to combine Japanese asceticism and Russian breadth of soul. Everything from design lines to... modern materials, differs markedly from the original source and, which is gratifying, for the better.

The interior can be called good quality, the individual parts fit well together and are well secured without annoying the passengers and the driver with noise while driving.

There are many interesting finds in interior design. So the interface line of the air ducts on the front panel is smoothed out. The media center and the control unit for ventilation and heating of the interior fit very well under it. The three standard rotary handles are large enough and can be operated even with winter gloves. For our harsh winters, this is a completely unnecessary detail.

The first reviews from drivers about Datsun on-DO are quite favorable, the workplace and steering wheel comfortable. Dashboard very informative, readings from the tachometer and speedometer are easy to read.

The most reliable information about the car is on Russian version manufacturer's web pages. The official website of Datsun on-DO (LINK) contains data on technical characteristics, configuration options and prices. The design of the resource is quite laconic, apparently reflecting the Japanese penchant for a certain asceticism.

In contrast to this source of information, an unofficial Datsun on-DO and mi-DO club (LINK) has been created, where there is an owner forum, a technical page, and the latest news.

The site has several thematic sections, which contain a lot of useful information about the experience of servicing and operating a car. This resource seems extremely useful and interesting.

At the end of last year, two portals merged: the unofficial club described above and the Datsun on-DO forum in Russia, where owner reviews had previously been published.
