Immediately after the start of production of the GAZ-21, the Gorky team made an attempt to create a car that could replace the rapidly aging (primarily in terms of design) model of the original incarnation - so in 1958, the development of the GAZ-24 began, the next generation of the Volga.

The machine that technical point vision became a real breakthrough (compared to its predecessor), it was officially presented in 1966, and entered the assembly line in 1969 (for a short time it was produced in parallel with the “21st”).

In the period from 1972 to 1978, a planned update of the car followed (which marked the beginning of the so-called “second series”), as a result of which the exterior, interior and mechanical “stuffing” were modified.

In 1985, the “third incarnation” of the model was born, called GAZ-24-10 - it changed significantly, especially in terms of technology. IN production program The GAZ sedan lasted until 1992, when it was replaced by the GAZ-31029.

On the outside, the GAZ-24 demonstrates simple, canonical forms that lack bright details - to name a few beautiful car it is impossible, but at the same time it has an elegant, stylish, moderately solid and even classic look. Well, at one time the car was generally superior in appearance to many foreign competitors, although it was technically inferior to them.

“24th Volga” is a representative of the D-class according to the European classification: 4735 mm in length, 1490 mm in height and 1800 mm in width. The wheelbase of the car is extended by 2800 mm, and its ground clearance has a quite respectable 174 mm. In “combat” form, the four-door weighs from 1420 to 1820 kg, depending on the version.

By today's standards, the interior of the GAZ-24 sedan looks primitive, but it is not without its attractiveness - a two-spoke steering wheel with a thin rim and a large diameter, a simple “toolbox” that provides only the most necessary information, and a laconic front panel, topped in the central part with a radio receiver and heater “sliders”.

In the modernized GAZ-24-10, the design of the “front part of the cabin” is not so “ascetic” - it is noticeably more convenient and modern, but it also does not indulge in “excesses”.

Inside, the four-door boasts high-quality finishing materials and decent build quality.

GAZ-24 "Volga" has a spacious interior - on both rows riders are provided with a large reserve free space. But the seats themselves, despite the soft filling, do not shine with comfort: the wide front seats are completely devoid of any hint of lateral support, and the rear sofa is endowed with a flat profile (albeit with an armrest in the middle).

The three-volume car has no problems with practicality - the “hold” of the car can accommodate 500 liters of luggage. True, the impressive volume is not supported by the correct form cargo compartment, and a full-fledged spare tire (if available) takes up a lot of space.

Specifications. The engine compartment of the GAZ-24 Volga is occupied by a 2.4-liter (2445 cubic centimeters) four-cylinder gasoline engine equipped with aluminum block, 8-valve timing, carburetor “feed” system and liquid cooled. Depending on the modification, the engine produces 90-100 Horse power at 4500 rpm and 173-182 Nm of maximum torque at 2600 rpm.
The entire power reserve from the engine goes to the wheels rear axle through manual transmission for four gears.

The first “hundred” is achieved by this car after 20-22 seconds, the peak of its capabilities is at 140-150 km/h, and the fuel “appetite” fits into 12.5 liters in mixed mode per 100 km.

At the heart of the GAZ-24 "Volga" there is a rear-wheel drive platform, implying the presence of an all-metal monocoque body and longitudinally located in the front part power unit.

The front suspension of the three-volume vehicle is independent (pivot) on two forged levers with coil springs and a torsion bar, and the rear is dependent with a rigid axle on semi-elliptic springs.
Drums are installed on both axles of the vehicle. brake mechanisms with a diameter of 280 mm. Steering system sedan is a “globoidal worm” with a 2-ridge roller.

“24th”, in addition to the basic four-door version, was also produced in other versions:

• GAZ-24-01- a car that was intended to work as a taxi. Her distinctive features are a derated engine, special body markings, a “free” green light, and a leatherette-trimmed interior.
• GAZ-24-02 (GAZ-24-12) is a five-door station wagon (produced from 1972 to 1992), which “flaunts” a five- or seven-seater convertible interior (with the exception of the body type, it is completely identical to the sedan).

• GAZ-24-95 – an all-wheel drive modification of the sedan, created using GAZ-69 components, which was used by the “country’s highest elite” for hunting and other active rest(a total of five similar “24s” were released).

• GAZ-24-24 (GAZ-24-34) is a version for special services, which served as a “catch-up” or “escort vehicle”. The features of this four-door are a 5.5-liter V8 engine from the Chaika under the hood, developing 195 stallions, a 3-band automatic transmission, more durable technology and the presence of power steering.

Essentially the “second Volga”, it is a strong and reliable car with a classic appearance, high quality and spacious interior, large trunk, excellent smoothness, energy-intensive suspension, high maintainability and a bunch of other advantages.
Although it also has disadvantages: weak dynamics, complex controls, poorly thought out ergonomics, high consumption fuel low level security.

Prices. GAZ-24 "Volga" on secondary market In Russia in 2017, you can buy at a price of 40-50 thousand rubles, but the most “fresh” cars cost significantly more than half a million rubles.

Cars of the USSR era: GAZ-24-10 "Volga"

"Volga" GAZ-24-10 appeared as a result of one of the most daring in history domestic auto industry"rejuvenation operations". The GAZ-24 body with a 15-year-old design and the engine, the structural basis of which was almost 30 years old at that time, were brought into line with the requirements of the time. The updated “old lady” lasted on the assembly line for another seven years.

In 1982 Gorky Automobile Plant successfully mastered the production of the first "director's" Volga GAZ-3102, took a breath and began to look closely at the veteran of the assembly line - GAZ-24.

In the 12 years that have passed since the launch of the GAZ-24 in mass production, the model did not lose its attractiveness: it was still considered a status company car, and taxi fleets throughout the country continued to be equipped with it. In addition, the Volga GAZ-24 was the only Soviet passenger car, close to the E-class and therefore especially popular among private owners.

However, the car needed updating. Suffice it to remember that the ZMZ-24D and ZMZ-24-01D engines were direct descendants of the M-21 overhead valve engine developed for the “twenty-first” Volga. Therefore it is deep modernization power unit and chassis became the first stage in the “rejuvenation” of the GAZ-24 and the transition to new version - GAZ-24-10.

The new engines of the ZMZ-402 family, which were supposed to equip the GAZ-24-10, structurally “grew” from the 24D and 24-01D engines. Innovations include studless main bearing caps, bushingless camshaft supports, an upgraded cooling system with a new pump, new intake and exhaust valves of increased diameter, double valve springs, cast iron camshaft with modified profile, damper-absorber torsional vibrations on the crankshaft pulley, contactless system ignition, new generator, modernized K-126GM carburetor and A14B1 spark plugs. Some engines were equipped with K-151 carburetors with an EPH system and exhaust gas recirculation.

As a result, engines of three modifications competed for the role of units for the GAZ-24-10: ZMZ-402.10 - the basic one for “general civilian” versions (AI-93 gasoline, compression ratio 8.2, 100 hp, 182 Nm); ZMZ-4021.10 - for taxis and partially station wagons (A-76, compression ratio 6.7, 90 hp, 173 Nm); ZMZ-4027.10 - for sedans in the “taxi” version (liquefied gas/AI-93, compression ratio 8.2, 85 hp, 167 Nm). Despite the fact that the update of the “twenty-four” began with the modernization of the power unit, the final transition to new engines occurred only in April 1986.

The "weak link" of the GAZ-24 was its low directional stability and insufficient controllability (this was documented by tests carried out in anticipation of the development of the GAZ-3102). Therefore, the front suspension was slightly redesigned, and the track was widened, which made it possible to equip the chassis with wide-profile radial tires 205/70 R14.

The brake system has undergone a radical update. From the GAZ-3102, the “ten” got the main brake cylinder"tandem" type and a two-chamber vacuum amplifier integrated with it. The rear brakes received a pressure regulator. Subsequently, some of the cars were equipped with front disc brakes from the "thirty-first" "Volga". The rear axle ratio changed to 3.9, and the reinforced clutch was taken from the “3102” model.

With such filling (but still in the old body), the GAZ-24-10 was first demonstrated to the public at the Avtoprom-84 exhibition in 1984, and the first production copies rolled off the assembly line in 1985. The second stage of modernization included restyling of the interior and exterior.

STEP FORWARD, TWO STEPS BACK

The update of the “classic” was largely facilitated by the unification with the GAZ-24 of a number of modernized components and parts used in the design of the GAZ-3102, which was mastered by the plant. First of all, this concerned the interior. The same load-bearing elements of the central part of the body of the GAZ-24 and GAZ-3102 made the interior space absolutely identical, which made it possible to more or less accurately reproduce the interior of the GAZ-3102 in the new model.

The instrument panel, at first glance of the same type as that of the GAZ-3102, actually had a different cross-sectional profile (the lower part went sharply towards the dashboard engine compartment) and a more “chopped” shape, reminiscent of the design of the GAZ-24 instrument panel. The layout of the service elements was also different: to the right of dashboard, above the console, the GAZ-3102 had a radio or radio, while the GAZ-24-10 had this place taken by the air ducts of the ventilation and heating system. Accordingly, the space on the console allocated to the air ducts on the GAZ-3102 in the interior of the “tens” went to the radio. If on the "thirty-first" "Volga" the entire "facade" of the dashboard was decorated with a wooden decorative strip, then when decorating the instrument panel of the GAZ-24-10 they limited themselves to just a small insert on the lid glove box and the instrument cluster itself.

The fundamental difference between the GAZ-24-10 instrument panel and a similar element of the GAZ-3102 can be considered the material from which it was made. If on the “thirty-first” it was elastic and injury-proof polyurethane foam, then on the “ten” they had to be content with hard plastic. The same material was used to make the linings on the front and central roof pillars - and all this for reasons of economy: the updated Volga should not go beyond the “budget” segment. So, for example, the seats with headrests were not structurally different from the seats of the GAZ-3102 and also had “garage” height adjustment, but were not upholstered in velor (this also happened, but only on a few early copies with improved equipment - GAZ-24-10- 051), and inexpensive ribbed fabric - gray or beige. On taxis and station wagons, the seats were completely covered with vinyl (with the exception of the driver's seat, which was decorated with fabric inserts on the front part). Compared to the GAZ-3102, the new three-spoke steering wheel and some controls have not undergone changes: unlike the “twenty-fourth”, the gas pedal has turned from a floor pedal into a suspended one, and the lever parking brake took the place that had become traditional by that time on the transmission tunnel, covered plastic casing with a recess for all sorts of little things (as on the GAZ-3102).

Door cards with VAZ armrests were also borrowed from the GAZ-3102 without changes or simplifications. Finishing panels were installed, as a rule, black, although beige, brown and even green were also found. The “budget” picture of the interior was completed with ordinary black rubber mats.

However, if compared to the “thirty-first” the interior of the GAZ-24-10 can be considered a step back, then compared to the “original” GAZ-24 it was a noticeable step forward. The interior has become more modern, more comfortable and, thanks to a number of ergonomic solutions, safer.

The exterior of the GAZ-24 had to be updated without regard to the “thirty-first” Volga. It was a question of preserving all the body stamps, so the designers were given only the plumage. Stylish, with a slight touch of Americanism, the design of the “twenty-four” had become classic by 1985, and classics, as we know, do not become outdated. It is worth paying tribute to the Gorky design artists: they did not blindly follow fashion and did not try to “slap” the rectangular headlights that were popular in those years on the front, which would have completely destroyed the image of the car. It was also considered unnecessary (and expensive) to equip the car with four round headlights. Thus, the visual impression was formed mainly by the radiator lining. The Volga's calling card - a broken "whalebone" covered with chrome - already looked archaic in the 70s. Therefore, GAZ began installing black plastic radiator grilles on export cars intended to be equipped with French diesel engines. This good decision and subsequently migrated to the GAZ-24-10. Usage modern optics with side lamps in the headlight lenses made it possible to abandon the sidelights as a separate element.

Graceful door handles for a natural grip, they were replaced with beautiful and modern ones (but extremely uncomfortable), completely recessed into the plane of the doors, the same as on the GAZ-3102. They didn’t forget about such an important image detail as wheels: the “ten” got plastic caps, completely covering the wheel rim.

From the chrome “combs” covering the interior ventilation deflectors on rear pillars roof, parking lights disappeared, and a wide chrome molding disappeared from the lower edge of the trunk lid. The Volga nameplates on the front fenders and rear trunk panel were also considered unnecessary. Only the factory emblem on the radiator trim and a flat decorative trim with right side trunk lid. The updated Volga GAZ-24-10 gave the impression of a truly modern and progressive car. In the second half of the 80s, the retail price of GAZ-24-10 was 16,370 rubles, GAZ-24-12 - 19,570 rubles.

The transition to the production of GAZ-24-10 was carried out gradually. Only in April 1986 did “dozens” with a “full package” of updates begin to roll off the production line. The plant mastered the modernized station wagons only in 1987.

By the beginning of the 90s, the body dies, which were made back in the late 60s, were worn out and the quality of the “ten” dropped sharply. In the end, the “twenty-fourth” body equipment was transferred to the Cheboksary auto repair plant for the production of spare parts, and the GAZ-24-10 niche in Gorky's ruler in 1992 he took GAZ-31029.

VARIATIONS ON THE THEME
GAZ-24-10 and its modifications were produced from 1986 to 1992. In addition to the station wagon modifications that are traditional for almost all domestic passenger cars, they produced cars based on the GAZ-24-10 ambulance GAZ-24-13, sedan in the “tropical” version GAZ-24-60, more powerful modification with an engine from the "Chaika" for special services GAZ-24-34, also various versions of taxis: sedans - deformed GAZ-24-11 and gas-cylinder GAZ-24-17, and station wagon GAZ-24-14.

GAZ-24-10 pickup. Considering that the rated load capacity of the serial station wagon based on the GAZ-24-10 was 400 kg, and the area cargo compartment exceeded all domestic analogues, the attractiveness of the Volga as a base for a pickup truck becomes obvious. There were no such cars in the GAZ production line, but pickups based on the GAZ-24-10 existed. Many auto repair plants dressed E-class aristocrats in “work overalls”: the Cheboksary Auto Repair Plant (CHARZ), the Riga Experimental Mechanical Plant (ROMZ) and the Second Moscow Automobile Repair Plant (VARZ) produced pickup trucks based on the GAZ-24-10 on an industrial scale. Such a pickup truck could easily carry half a ton of cargo.

GAZ-24-11. Many people tried to be a taxi domestic cars, but none of them was able to compete with the “twenty-four”. The GAZ-24-11 modification took over the baton from the GAZ-24-01. The GAZ-24-11 taxi (and the GAZ-24-14 station wagon taxi) was equipped with a 90-horsepower ZMZ-4021.10 engine, derated by reducing the compression ratio to 6.7, running on A-76 gasoline. The seats were upholstered in cheap and practical leatherette. The taxi did not have a radio or antenna. The car was equipped with a taximeter (TAM-L1), an orange checkered light on the roof (FP147) and a green control light (17.3738) in the upper right corner of the windshield.

GAZ-24-12. The station wagon with the ZMZ-402.10 engine was produced by the plant in 1987. In addition, the GAZ-24-14 station wagon was produced with a ZMZ-4021.10 engine tuned for 76 gasoline for use as a taxi. the car had three rows of seats. The front ones - with headrests - were adjustable in length and backrest angle. Average and back rows folded to form luggage compartment two meters long and one meter high, which made it possible to transport 400 kg of cargo. Reinforced rear springs were installed on the car.

GAZ-24-13. In official documentation, the medical version of the station wagon based on the Volga was called ambulance vehicles. The body was divided by a partition into two compartments: the driver's cabin and the sanitary compartment. The stretcher was installed along the left side. Along the right, two seats were mounted in succession - a front folding one and a rear stationary one. The machine was equipped with additional autonomous heater sanitary compartment, searchlight and signal light.

The GAZ-24-10 “Volga” car is a modernization of the GAZ-24 model – a mid-size sedan produced at Gorkovsky Automobile factory from the end of 1985 to the spring of 1992. By 1985, the Volga GAZ-24 car was already quite outdated, remaining almost unchanged on the assembly line for 15 years. Work on the launch of a fundamentally new model GAZ-3105 was somewhat delayed. GAZ decided to update base car GAZ-24 making it more accessible and cheaper to produce.

Many solutions used on the GAZ-2410 have already been tested on the GAZ-3102 model, produced since 1982. So the car received from the GAZ-3102 some electrical equipment, safety recessed door handles, sliding windows without windows and much more.

The interior has been updated and used cheap dashboard made of thermoplastic, which was significantly inferior in consumer qualities to the panels of the GAZ-24 and GAZ-3102 cars. Although in general the design of the GAZ-24-10 panel is similar to the GAZ-3102 panel and is largely compatible with it in terms of equipment.

There were no significant changes to the body - almost all the panels were used from the GAZ-24. Only the engine shield and backrest the interiors were like those of a GAZ-3102. Although a fairly successful solution with a spare wheel in the floor was tested on the GAZ-3102, which increased the ease of use of the trunk. But this solution did not fit well with the external body panels of the GAZ-24. The car received simplified bumpers without fangs - they became similar to the GAZ-24 bumpers produced before 1978 (and differed from them in the presence of holes under fog lights). The radiator grille on most cars has become plastic. Overall number of chrome elements exterior finishing was reduced in order to save money. So the chrome Volga lettering on the wings and rear panel disappeared, and the molding on the bottom of the trunk lid was also abolished. Some cars were equipped with painted black metal mirrors instead of chrome ones.

The car received wheels from the GAZ-3102 car - radial dimensions 205/70R14 (instead of 7.35-14 on the GAZ 24). Since the radius of the steering wheel has also been reduced, steering at low speeds has become more difficult. Width rim increased by 0.5 inches. Applied tubeless tires. The wheel caps became plastic “aerodynamic” - they covered the entire wheel and were fastened with a central nut (on a stud).

The car's suspension uses modified bushings lower control arms front suspension to improve reliability.

The brake system has been migrated unchanged from the drum version of the GAZ-3102. That is, drum brakes were installed front and rear.
A dual-circuit one was used as the main cylinder master cylinder tandem type. It worked in tandem with a dual-diaphragm vacuum amplifier. Overall reliability brake system increased, but drum brakes First of all, the solution is very archaic and unsafe.

The car received updated engine ZMZ-4021.10. It differed from its predecessor ZMZ-24D in the design of the cooling system, double springs in the valve drive, and increased diameter exhaust valves, oil pump increased performance, a cast iron camshaft with a modified cam profile, a modified K-151 (or K-126-GM) carburetor. In general, the engine has become more powerful and resourceful. Power increased from 95 to 100 hp. Torque became 186 at 2500 rpm instead of 190 Nm at 2200-2400 rpm. Gasoline consumption with the new engine decreased by about 3-4%. The K-151 carburetor was quite good in concept, but did not hold up well adjustment parameters. As a result, many replaced it with the VAZ OZON or the good old K-126G or GM. Exhaust system new engine betrayal - instead exhaust manifold 4-1 release 4-2-1 was used. He was determined. So the 24-10 received the signature GAZ pan sound when accelerating in the speed range of 2-4 thousand rpm.

The gearbox came from the GAZ-24 without changes.

The rear axle of the GAZ-24-10 car received from the GAZ-3102 car, the gear ratio main couple 3.9 (for GAZ-24 - 4.1).

The car received new windshield wiper with increased trapezoid life, electric heating rear window(instead of blowing), the front door windows were in the new fashion without windows (the visibility was improved, but the interior ventilation at low speeds worsened). parking lights They moved from the sidelights to the headlights, and the parking lights in the rear pillars disappeared completely. According to new trends, the parking brake lever was moved from the instrument panel between the seats to the floor. The seats have become much more better seats from GAZ-24. So their shape has become more ergonomic and the padding is better. There was also the ability to adjust the height of the seat in the garage. The seats were also equipped with head restraints, which increased comfort and safety in case of accidents.

The GAZ-24-12 station wagon received almost all the changes applied in the GAZ-24-10. Its production began in 1987.
An eight-cylinder (5.5 liter, 195 hp) modification for special services, the GAZ-24-34, was also produced in small series.

The GAZ-24-10 car has become more widespread than its predecessors. Despite the queues, private traders got more cars than before. However, due to a decline in the quality of anti-corrosion treatment, deterioration in body geometry due to wear of body dies, and deterioration in the quality of chrome, the car began to lose popularity. Especially in the later years of graduation.

There were also problems with the poor quality of parts of the interior heating system - plastic parts heaters did not fit well with each other, resulting in poor air distribution.

Despite all the shortcomings, most of the cars are in operation while maintaining the unpretentiousness and reliability of their predecessor.
