About good and bad

Also, everyone converges that it is necessary to clearly understand what to acquire cars Tagger Tagaz: For fastest riding lovers, this is not the most successful option, but for lovers of hunting and fishing, or just travel around the crossed terrain and off-road, this is a good choice .

The main advantages, as evidenced by the reviews of the owners of TagAZ Tagger, is unpretentious, simplicity of design, power, high passability, simple and comfortable interior, infinite space for tuning, the system of glass and mirrors, which opens a chic road overview, car mass and torsions, which do not give the car "jumping" to the parties; This model is an excellent alternative to UAZ, but with a Mercedes engine.

TagAZ is a major Russian car manufacturer. The main plant is located in the city of Taganrog. The company began its work recently - in 1998. It was planned that its production facilities should cope with the production of 18,000,000 cars per year. The first significant step in the development of this brand was the beginning of collaboration with the Korean concern Hyundai. The result of cooperation was the first Hyundai Accent machines that the world saw in 2001. After 3 years, the company has mastered the production of the Sondan of the business class Hyundai Sonata. In 2007, the release of the Hyundai Santa Fe Classic crossover begins, and in a year - Hyundai Elantra XD, C-class sedan. In addition, the direction of production of commercial vehicles was gradually developed. To date, the range of machines produced at the plant has expanded even more. Tagaz still collects several models of Hyundai, as well as "own" models of SUVs and passenger cars, which are also licensed and previously produced in Korea under the SsangYong brand and in China under the Chery brand.

Tagaz (Tagaz) - Taganrog Automotive Plant. It is one of the largest automotive industries of Russia today. This is a modern dynamic enterprise focused on the release of world-class cars.

In 1997, the construction of a Tagaz plant began, which was carried out under the license Daewoo Motors and was funded by Droninvest Finance & Industry Group. The total volume of investments exceeded $ 260 million.

After a year and a half, the plant was ready for the release of cars and on September 12, 1998 a solemn official discovery took place. However, almost immediately at the new auto plant began not easy times - "Koreans" Leganza, Nubira and Lanos, who received the names of "Condor", "Orion", "Assol" on Tagaz, did not fit in the Russian market. In the case of "Orion" also added difficulties and unstable delivery of parts from the concern "Daewoo", and the release of this model, which began in the spring of 1999, ended with the assembly of just a few hundred copies.

In 2000, Tagaz signed the official contract with Hyundai Motor Company about the beginning of the assembly in the Taganrog of the Hyundai Accent car. After that, the company's financial affairs improved significantly, and in early April 2001, the first Hyundai Accent of the Russian assembly comes from the conveyor. In mid-2002, the production of this model began with an automatic transmission switch.

In 2004, Hyundai celebrated the Taganrog factory award for the high-quality level of production organization. In the same year, industrial production of the sedan of business class, Hyundai Sonata started. In 2005, the model range of Tagaz was supplemented by a low-tonnage commercial truck Hyundai Porter.

In 2006, Tagaz received an award "Best Commercial Car of 2006 in Russia" for Hyundai Porter, and in the same year mass production of Hyundai County buses was started. In 2007, the Santa Fe is launched at the factory. At the same time, its generation at that time was already considered the "previous" (the so-called Santa Fe New was already produced in Korea), so Santa Fe, produced in Taganrog, received a classic additive to the title.

Also in 2007, Tagaz acquires two licenses of the Korean Ssang Yong car manufacturer at once, both licenses for the production of frame SUVs - Musso and Korando, which began to be issued under the names of Road Partner and Tager, respectively.

In the spring of 2008, Tagaz replenished its catalog of models - Hyundai Elantra XD, which also belonged to the "previous" generation of Korean Elantra. A year later, the model range is updated: TagAZ brings to the Russian market two cars of their own development. One of them is the budget sedan Tagaz Vega (initially C-100).

In September 2008, GM Daewoo (GM Dat) filed a lawsuit against TagAZ, accusing the company in industrial espionage. However, it was not possible to prove this DEU company, but this news influenced the reputation of the Russian company.

In 2008, Tagaz began cooperation with the Chinese company producing cars under the brand "Cherry". The new products of the Taganrog plant appeared its own name - Vortex. The first model published under this brand was Estina (Cherry Fora).

In 2010, four new novelties from Tagaz were presented at the Moscow Motor Show, which was on sale under the Vortex brand: Yuna (modified Chery QQ6), Corda (Chery Amulet), Elana (Chery Mikado) and Tingo (Chery Tiggo). All new models have been launched into mass production in 2011.

Despite difficulty with the Tagaz Vega project, the Tagaz control link does not leave attempts to create its own model range. At the same Moscow auto show of 2010, full-size layouts of the following models were shown: 2 B100 and D100 sedans, as well as the K100 crossover. Initially, these models planned to run into mass production until 2012, but due to the crisis it was not possible to implement.

In 2012, the Estina model survived a number of refinement, affected by both the appearance of the car and its technical characteristics, and on October 12, 2012, a restyled version of -Vortex Estina FL-C was launched.

In the near future, TagAZ plans to conclude a licensing agreement with the Chinese car manufacturer - Great Wall. These news cannot but rejoice - because the company's model range will increase.

Model of the company TagAZ can include the Aquila model. This is a C-class sedan with sports appearance. Test assembly of the model was carried out in February 2013, and the first sales took place on March 15, 2013. Tagaz Aquila car is available in four colors: white, yellow, red and black. The sports appearance of this model will not leave indifferent even the most arrogant buyers. In addition, an essential advantage is the cost of this model - it is offered at the average cost of the C-class sedan. On the first day of sales, 2 cars were implemented, at the moment all cars are manufactured by reservation. As of May 1, 2013, more than 2,500 applications were carried out.

The Taganrog Automotive Plant (Tagaz) began its existence in 1998, after the reconstruction of the Taganrog Combine Plant. The new Russia needed a fundamentally new enterprise, on the basis of which it would be possible to collect cars of foreign companies. FPG DONINVEST FINANCE & INDUSTRY GROUP financed re-equipment, and in two years Tagaz was solemnly open and launched. Currently, Tagaz model range is represented by such brands:

• "Tagaz",
• "Vortex",
• "Hyundai",
• "BYD".

However, those who are still deciding to buy a car TagAZ very quickly make sure in the opposite.

In 2008, the production of a three-door SUV "TagAZ Tagger" began production - a licensed copy of the Korean model began on the Taganrog Auto Plant. In 2009, a five-door version of the car, developed by the forces of the Korean engineering division of the Tagaz, stood on the conveyor (Korerao has no five-door version).

"Tagaz Tagger" had traditional for utilitarian SUVs design: frame, continuous rear axle, hardly connected four-pass drive. The car was installed on the car licensed "Mercedesian" power units of Korean production.

The basic version of the SUV under the hood stood a 2.3-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 150 liters. from. In combination with a manual transmission, and the drive could be rear or complete. Tagaz Tagger with a row six-cylinder engine 3.2 (220 l.) Had a four-step "automatic" and four-wheel drive. And even in the range there were two turbodiesels: a four-cylinder 2.6 liter (104 liters) and a five-cylinder volume of 2.9 liters (120 liters s.) - They were completed with "mechanics" and all-wheel drive transmission.

TagAZ himself had serious financial problems in those years and gradually reduced production volumes, and finally the release of Tagers ended in 2012.
