Preparing this material was more difficult than usual: most of the official dealers of TagAZ took up a perimeter defense, not wanting to share information. But you can't hide an sewn in a sack - all of Tager's ailments are well known and are actively discussed on the Internet. That "Korando" that "Tager" are built on proven Mercedes units and really look like two peas in a pod. But not from the point of view of reliability, which we will talk about today.

TRANSITION PERIOD

The most painful topic for the owners of "taggers", known from the very beginning of the production of the model, that is, since 2008, is the useless reliability of a manual transmission on cars with gasoline engines ( ZR, 2010, No. 8 ). It is often unsafe to drive with such a box.

For example, if you need to shift to a lower gear in order to slow down the engine, you will be faced with a difficult task: the lever will rest against an invisible obstacle due to the difference in shaft revolutions, which is due to a synchronizer that does not cope with its duties, more often the second or third gear. If you still manage to turn on the gear, the unpleasant crunch emitted by the box discourages the desire to even touch the lever. It is easier for those who own the old techniques - rebasing and double squeezing the clutch, but mastering them on a modern car, which was also bought for a lot of money, is hardly acceptable.

The owners demanded that the dealers replace the unit. And those were not ready. But dealers, TagAZ itself was in a difficult situation: the plant had to allocate a separate workshop, where in the first nine months 183 failed boxes were repaired - almost every fifth! They changed the synchronizers of the second, third and fourth gears assembled with clutches, but often this did not help: the repaired unit soon began to crackle again.

Some owners changed the box four to five times! Meanwhile, TagAZ, not coping with the repair, came up with the idea of ​​depriving the owners of the warranty due to the allegedly improper operation of the car: they say, you should not switch gears at speeds above five thousand. But there are no such restrictions in the operating manual, so the case sometimes went to court. As a rule, the decisions were in favor of the owners - of course, at the cost of frayed nerves. In fairness, we note that the plant recognized the defect as massive and even publicly apologized to the owners.

After all, TagAZ was also held hostage to the current situation, since SunYong concealed the scale of the problem and was in no hurry to resolve it. It seems that the agreement between the enterprises did not provide for any sanctions in case of delivery of defective parts. The Koreans took advantage of this: according to rumors, to reduce costs, they moved the production of some units, including gearboxes, to China. An indirect confirmation of these rumors is the fact that the Korean marking has disappeared from the crankcase.

As it turned out later, it was not only the synchronizers, but also the misalignment of the shafts. This defect was learned to be eliminated at one of the firms in Yekaterinburg. There, they remove all the filling from the box and, having collected the parts of the crankcase, process the bearing beds in one transition. And in order to fix the outer ring with an interference fit, additional bushings are pressed into the bed. And only then do they install new couplings and synchronizers. There are no complaints about the gearboxes brought in this way, but after all, not every owner is ready to go for repairs thousands of kilometers.

ADVENTURE ELECTRONICS

With the arrival of autumn 2008, other difficulties began: at temperatures slightly below zero, the Tager gasoline engine could only be started from the fifth or sixth attempt. On the Korando, by the way, there was no such problem. It turned out that the Koreans, adapting the program of the control unit for our climate and gasoline, made a slight mistake with the settings: due to a short impulse to the injectors, the mixture was too poor.

The defect was eliminated by changing the fuel characteristic parameter from one to four and adjusting the temperature coefficient. The blocks were reflashed for free, under a guarantee. There was just one catch: not every dealer had the equipment they needed. On the first "taggers" in the T5 configuration, the engine cooling fan was constantly working. This defect was dealt with quickly enough - it turned out that it was necessary to swap the contacts. By the way, the dealer network of TagAZ is also his sore spot. There are cases when, when installing additional equipment at branded service stations, they managed to undermine the squibs of the seat belt pretensioners. TagAZ even had to terminate contracts with some sellers.

HOMELAND WILL HELP

All these problems have tempered the owners, and now they are actively discussing on the Web which domestic counterparts are suitable instead of the capricious original. In some off-road vehicles, the Uaz springs are already working in the rear suspension, which are a little stiffer than their relatives, thanks to which it was possible to raise the rear part of the body by 55 mm (this became a good help on the off-road).

In order to have enough shock absorbers rebounding, they are replaced with "Volgov" ones. It is only important to remember that the carrying capacity of the machine does not increase from this. It's a pity that no adequate replacement has yet been found for the factory rear axle semiaxes, which, it seems, are also Chinese - with a decent "egg" in the area of ​​the oil seal working surface. Therefore, oil leakage to the brakes after 20 thousand km is a common thing. Moreover, there are practically no original semi-axles on sale, and if they are, then they are three times more expensive than usual.

DROP BY DROP

There are no particular problems with engines. True, here TagAZ distinguished itself: if on the Korean "SanYong-Korando" with a diesel engine of the OM662 series the turbocharger served quite reliably, then on the "Tager" it sometimes leaks oil. The defect did not become widespread, but where did it come from on a seemingly worked-out design? Apparently, the unknown origin of the unit again affects, this time the turbine.

There is one more defect on five-door "taggers": by 50-80 thousand km the rear wiper axle may acidify. We recommend at the first sign, when the brush begins to crush on the glass, disassemble and lubricate. More serious problems also happen.

By a car that visited our editorial office a year ago ( ZR, 2010, No. 6 ), cracks were found in the frame in the area of ​​the rear left suspension arm. The fact that the bearing part did not break in half is the merit of our test group, which discovered the defect in time. But everything could have ended sadly! There are no other complaints about the chassis.

Perhaps only the front stabilizer struts are recognized as relatively weak - if you please change them after 40-50 thousand km. Ball joints, silent blocks, tie rods and tips sometimes serve more than 180 thousand km. With wheel bearings, how lucky. The spread over the resource is in order: from 20 to 200 thousand km. Here, by the way, Chinese components are superior to Korean ones.

The rear axle in the version with disc brakes: the stockings are still dry, but sometimes they start to sweat with oil when you run 2–3 thousand km. Here, the input shaft of the gearbox is sweating, which is atypical.

The rear axle in the version with disc brakes: the stockings are still dry, but sometimes they start to sweat with oil when you run 2–3 thousand km. Here, the input shaft of the gearbox is sweating, which is atypical.

Both "Korando" and "Tager" cannot be called full-fledged heroes of this section, since the former is already old, and the latter is too young. Therefore, we present the third table without the traditional calculation of the cost of costs per kilometer of run ( ZR, 2011, No. 1 ). These machines go beyond the accepted methodology, we decided to talk about them only out of a desire to draw the attention of manufacturers to the need for a more competent choice of models for our market. So that simplified technologies do not undermine consumer confidence in the long-known model.

The TagAZ Tager SUV production was started at the beginning of 2008 by the Taganrog Automobile Plant. As a basis for the developed car, the Korando model of the Korean automaker SsangYong was taken. At the same time, back in 2007, a domestic manufacturer bought out the rights to a new product being prepared for production, after which it received its existing name especially for the Russian market.

The ambiguity of the embodiment of the TagAZ Tager exterior

In accordance with the manufacturer's statement, the vehicle under consideration embodies the most daring ambitions, while the car is a real SUV in form, spirit and content. The truly unusual appearance of the TagAZ Tager car in 2013 was created according to the classic canons of legendary army cars, as a result of which it is unambiguously associated with reliability, endurance and strength, and is also absolutely not subject to any fashion trends.

Of course, the design of the car is realized for an amateur who wants to buy TagAZ Tager, in an extremely ambiguous and unusual form, which can be visualized in six colors: white, beige, silver, dark blue, dark red and black. The realized dimensions of the machine are presented for each of the proposed six configurations, which will be discussed below, with the following characteristics:

Proposed configurations of TagAZ Tager and their features

Everyone can buy TagAZ Tager in 6 different trim levels: three-door MT1, 2, 3, 6 and AT5, as well as five-door MT8. They have, in addition to MT1, exterior mirrors painted in body color and a spare wheel cover. In addition, the car has integrated glass with a light factory tinted glass, wheel mud flaps, 16-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, as well as anti-corrosion treatment of the body.

Among other things, the car is equipped with inertial seat belts and power steering. For all variations, except for the base one with the presence of only the driver's airbag, the installation of an analogue for the front passenger is provided. Also in the stock version there is no heated front seats. Exclusively in AT5, you can find front fog lights together with a rain sensor.

But otherwise, any of the modifications, for which, during operation, TagAZ Tager parts can be purchased at extremely affordable prices, has an air conditioner, an immobilizer, a central door lock, electric heating and adjustment of rear-view mirrors, power windows with the addition of automatic lowering and an audio system with installed six speakers.

TagAZ Tager interior and its aspects

For modifications, in addition to the basic one with the presence of fabric trim, leather upholstery is offered. At the same time, the AT5 version boasts a height adjustment of the driver's seat and a lumbar support for the driver.

In the interior of any of the cars of the model in question, the head restraints of all seats are found, a folding rear seat, thereby increasing the volume of the trunk to 1200 liters, as well as the illumination of the ignition switch, cigarette lighter, front doors and trunk. Otherwise, everything is extremely simple and without any frills, a real Spartan salon.

Is the technical potential of TagAZ Tager worth attention?

Before thoroughly examining the TagAZ Tager technical characteristics, it should be noted that the power units integrated in the model in question are manufactured under license from Mercedes-Benz, so you can confidently comment on the statement of representatives of the domestic manufacturer that all engines are adaptable to Russian conditions, a large resource and high reliability.

How much you can buy TagAZ Tager

The price indicated by the manufacturer for Tager TagAZ varies significantly depending on the purchased modification of the vehicle. The cheapest, of course, is the basic version of MT1, which is estimated at 519.9 thousand rubles... The next MT2 version is 609.9 thousand rubles, but for the MT3 variation you will have to pay 619.9 thousand, moreover, for the same amount you can buy MT6. At the next price level is the AT5 option with a value of 675.9 thousand... And the top modification will cost 729.9 thousand rubles.

What are the owners' reviews about TagAZ Tager

Looked closely, but then decided to buy. Almost never regretted the purchase. Minor shortcomings are present, for example, too large a stroke of the existing gearshift lever and its capricious switching, but they are fully compensated by the advantages of the car, expressed in comfort, cross-country ability, high seating position, good handling, high-torque unit and frame structure.

Sergey V., modification 2.6 TD manual transmission, 4 * 4, 2012

It should be noted that almost all the reviews of the owners of TagAZ Tager, in general, fully correspond to the above opinion.

In 2008, at the Taganrog plant, the TagAZ Tager compact SUV was put on the conveyor - a licensed copy of the popular SsangYong Korando model, the production of which lasted 13 years and ceased in 2006.

The Tager was one of the company's more successful commercial models. There were practically no changes in it compared to the base version.

Therefore, for a very small amount, the buyer received reliable, passable and easy-to-maintain jeep... And besides, it is equipped with high-torque and efficient Mercedes-Benz engines, which are manufactured by SsangYong under license.

The release lasted until 2012... In 2014, the plant was declared bankrupt, despite attempts by the owner to breathe new life into it.

The success of the TagAZ Tager is entirely due to the compact Korando, created under the leadership of Ken Grisley. This car has a simple but effective formula for success - brutal appearance, good engines, uncomplicated design and amazing cross-country ability.

The model is based on classic spar frame... The suspension architecture is as follows: an independent torsion bar with wishbones is installed at the front, and a continuous axle with trailing arms and additional springs at the rear.

A body is installed on the frame, which has rather small geometric overhangs. With a wheelbase of 2480 mm, the body length is 4330 mm in the 3-door and 4512 mm in the 5-door version. The width and height are almost identical - 1841 and 1840 mm, respectively.

Exterior of the new model

The car was produced with three and five doors, but the dimensions are not too different, and there are no differences in design at all.
The narrow front end with powerful wing niches and a small grille is framed by two round headlights. A massive plastic bumper is installed under them, giving the jeep an aggressive and brutal look.

The side edges of the body with imposing wheel arches with 16-inch wheels are finished with plastic linings and at the bottom end with metal sills that facilitate getting into the car.

The feed descends at almost right angles. The luggage compartment door is equipped with a spare wheel holder - it is installed in a special plastic casing.

Salon

Tager's interior comes from the 1990s - it can be seen immediately and irrevocably. The usual dashboard with massive white dials, hard plastic and simple seats with a claim to lateral support.

However, he cannot be called completely dull. The plastic, although hard, is not bad, and the center console is painted in silver and creates a pleasant accent to the overall dark background.

The back sofa is designed for two passengers - the third one will be really uncomfortable there because of the narrow interior and the fact that the sofa just rests against the arches. By the way, its peculiarity is that it folds, and in 2 positions - forward and backward. In the second case, you get a full double bed.

In normal state trunk volume is 350 liters, but with the rear seats folded, it rises to 1200 liters.

For its time, especially at the beginning of the release, the equipment of TagAZ was very good... By default, ABS, a driver's airbag, air conditioning and electric windows and rear-view mirrors were installed. If necessary, an additional cushion for the front passenger, leather seat upholstery and electric heated front seats were installed.

Specifications

Tager is equipped with licensed Mercedes engines, which are deservedly popular due to their reliability:

• petrol 4-ka with a volume of 2.3 liters, developing a power of 150 liters. With. and a moment of 210 Nm;
• turbocharged 4-cylinder diesel engine 2.6 l 104 hp s. / 215 Nm;
• 5-cyl. turbodiesel 2.9 l, (129 hp, 256 Nm);
• inline gasoline atmospheric six with a volume of 3.2 liters, 220 liters. With. and 307 Nm.

The first three motors are offered with a 5-speed manual transmission. There is also a 4-st. automatic - it is paired with a 2.3 liter gasoline engine, and is available as an option for 2.9 liter units.

The maximum speed of the car on a diesel engine is about 150 km / h, on a gasoline engine 3.2 l - 170 km / h. At the same time, acceleration to hundreds is equal to 16 seconds for the first and 10.9 seconds. at the second.

Fuel consumption combined cycle is from 10 to 16 liters per 100 km, depending on the motor.

Passability

The car is offered in a rear-wheel drive version or with an all-wheel drive. Itself transmission is implemented as part-time 4WD. On a normal road, he drives on the rear traction, but on the off-road, using a special button that activates the electric vacuum clutches, the front drive axle is connected.

The peculiarity of 4WD is that it works immediately, you do not need to drive several meters, as in other jeeps. The rear axle in later models is fitted with a limited slip differential for improved off-road performance.

Price

You can buy TagAZ Tager in Russia only with mileage in the secondary market at a price from 250 to 500 thousand rubles... The cost depends on the year of manufacture, engine, transmission and body option.

Who here we have nostalgic for the good old frame SUVs? Get: "Korean Wrangler" - SsangYong Korando KJ is being assembled at TagAZ. His name is now Tagaz Tager. As you may remember, I myself am still a retrograde.

I love, you know, to complain about the times that have sunk into oblivion, when all SUVs were equipped with iron bumpers and engines insensitive to fuel quality. Everything is so, but we easily forget that for this strength we had to pay, in particular, with handling on the road and fuel consumption under 20 liters per hundred. On the other hand, even within the near Moscow region there are a lot of such roads and gas stations that it becomes simply scary for other modern models of SUVs. Against this background, the second coming of Korando in the person of Tagaz Tager looks quite natural ...

COWBOYS FROM MARS

In 1996, the newborn SsangYong Korando made a strong impression - as, indeed, everything that the English designer Ken Greenlee did for Koreans. This car still looks unusual: it seems that it was built by aliens, inspired by the appearance of the Jeep CJ. A kind of Martian cowboy. Structurally, this car is a classic SUV of the mid-90s of the last century. Moreover, Tagaz Tager did not receive any changes, except for the nameplates - everything is identical to the original.

The main plus of the model is Mercedes-Benz engines and transmissions. The Germans once sold the license to the Koreans, and they still produce these units at home. By the way, one should not conclude from this that a screwdriver assembly has been established in Taganrog - not at all, there is a full-scale assembly production with welding and painting of bodies.

OLD. KIND?

The engine on the Tager is installed longitudinally. However, it is difficult to imagine a 3.2-liter inline "six" located differently. As a counterweight to this 300-Newton-meter mastodon, a respectable 4-speed "automatic" is docked. There is also a more modest version - with a 2.3-liter "four" and a manual transmission. In addition, a diesel engine is expected, but we drove the 3.2-liter version.

At the front, the Tagaz Tager has an independent torsion bar suspension on the wishbones at the rear - a continuous axle, springs and trailing arms. The transmission is part-time 4WD, that is, on dry asphalt you can only drive on a rear wheel drive. The front wheels are driven by electric vacuum couplings (by the way, this is a weak point in second-hand Korandos), which means that you do not need to leave the passenger compartment to switch to 4x4 mode. The crawler gear is also included using an electric machine. What else? Oh yes, all disc brakes, rack and pinion steering.

DO NOT DRIVE FAST

If you think you need a big motor to drive like a bullet, buy an old Mercedes or a new Tager and see otherwise. Well, yes, up to a hundred - in a little less than 11 seconds, not bad at all. You can walk both 130 and 140 along the highway, but the transmission settings are still "Mercedes" ones, which means they are conducive to a quiet ride. Look, I'm pushing the accelerator pedal all the way down. Along the way, the kick-down button hidden under it is pressed. Then a small power inscription lights up on the dashboard, the automatic transmission switches to a step down, then the engine should hum a little, and after that acceleration begins. Objectively - according to the stopwatch - everything happens pretty quickly. But this is a subjective feeling of thoughtfulness ... In a word, I don't want to drive the Tager. In addition, the chassis does not dispose to exploits on the asphalt. All these old-mode rolls in corners, longitudinal swing. Again, the brake pedal requiring some effort ... No, street racers definitely don't have to worry. Well, let them stand in queues for a Honda Civic or Mazda 3, and we will go where four-wheel drive, traction at the bottom and ground clearance are in the price. Because if a car doesn't run hot on the pavement, it must be good outside of it. Although it is better, of course, when both are available.

ONLY HAT TO HOLD

The front bumper hangs low. And at the very bottom - transparent fog beans. If not for this, it would be much more fun to jump on the country road - the suspension allows: it is soft, but energy-intensive, almost no breakdowns. Of course, on bumps, the Tager "goats", and passengers are better off holding onto something, but nevertheless it is really good for driving on uneven roads. As I already said, for another modern SUV in such a situation, the heart bleeds - it seems that after the next blow, the levers will rip out with a crunch, and the shock absorbers will leak out, and 17-inch disks will burst. And you ride the Tager quite calmly, practically without fears - what is it, foglights, after all, will not live anyway.

This car has very decent suspension travel, but I would not participate in it in a jeep trial - the lateral body rolls are too great. Well, yes, that's right - the center of gravity is high, the suspension is soft.

AND WHERE IS THE INCREASED FRICTION?

The transmission control knob is almost invisible - it hides against the driver's right knee. If you don't know, you won't find it right away. But here's the nice thing: both the front axle and the downshift are engaged immediately, without delay. If you are not in the know, most SUVs require an early transition to 4x4 and 4x4L modes - the car must walk a few meters for the transmission to load, so that the gears are synchronized and engaged ... This is not the case: turn the handle - and everything is OK. And this is a tangible plus. Another plus is expected a little later - now the Tager rear axle is not equipped with a limited slip differential, but it should appear soon. Without it, to be honest, kneading the mud is not very fun, because there are no traction control electronic systems on the Tager.

And one more point - good water resistance. I don’t know if this was intentionally designed, but this car easily walks across the headlights in the water, keeping the air filter dry and the engine running smoothly.

In general, Tager gets credit for working off-road (especially if you haven't forgotten about his ability on bumps already).

RIDDLES OF HISTORY

A topic that was difficult for me to get close to was the salon. He's quite old-fashioned. And even mysterious. For example, in front of the navigator there is an absolutely flat panel, as if they wanted to put another instrument panel there. True, there is an airbag hiding behind it, which cannot but rejoice. The seating position of the driver is vertical, correct, but with the growth of 186 cm I still lack the range of adjustments. The chairs are rich, leather, and they seem to even promise some kind of lateral support, but it is not there - do not expect that Tager will receive you as tightly and neatly as some "German". To buckle up with a belt, you have to stretch back quite far behind it. No, everything is clear - the belt is attached to the rack, and it is carried back to make the doorway wider. But all the same - sloppy ...

MATCH: TAGAZ TAGER

COFFEE ON THE SOFA

It seems that the designers thought more about the rear passengers. So it is comfortable to crawl to the sofa, and to sit spaciously. One thing is unclear: why is a belt reel suspended in the trunk under the ceiling for the third, central rider, if only two fit on the couch? The trunk, by the way, is somewhat larger than I expected to see. But this is not the main, fattest raisin. It turned out that the salon in the Tager folds out entirely, giving two full berths. Moreover, the back of the rear sofa is adjustable, so you can drink your morning coffee in the car, reclining. Romance! (Or is it called something else? Well, it doesn't matter.) If I were a young bachelor, I would think about buying.

Finally, I must emphasize that with all its pros and cons, Tagaz Tager is a unique offer in a sense. Firstly, except for it, the three-door body is available only in the Suzuki Jimny and Jeep Wrangler, but both are from completely different operas. Secondly, with a 2.3 engine and a Tager manual transmission it costs 629,900 rubles. In the class of universal off-road vehicles (SUV), only the "Chinese" and the Niva are cheaper.

Well, for the Tager in the configuration we tested, the 3.2 automatic transmission is already asking for 769,900 rubles. By the way, the Taganrozh Hyundai Santa Fe Classic with a 2-liter diesel engine and automatic transmission costs the same. It is more spacious, behaves much better on asphalt and is no worse off-road, but on bad roads it will probably live less ...

The TagAZ Tager SUV, which is a "licensed copy" of the South Korean model SsangYong Korando, which was produced from 1993 to 2006, entered mass production in January 2008 at the Taganrog Automobile Plant, and, unlike the "source", in body solutions with three and five doors. On the conveyor belt of a Russian company, the car lasted until 2014, after which it “retired”.

With its appearance, TagAZ Tager evokes mixed emotions - it looks very unusual and not entirely proportional against the background of modern SUVs, but external aggression as a "former military" he does not hold.

The most controversial in the car is the front end with narrow-set headlights and a small radiator grill, but from other angles its outlines are more understandable, albeit angular.

The body palette TagAZ Tager combines three- and five-door options. The overall length of the SUV is 4330-4512 mm, width - 1841 mm, height - 1840 mm. It has a wheelbase of 2480 or 2630 mm, depending on the version, and the ground clearance is 195 mm.

The interior of "Tager" by design stands out from the canons of modern fashion, but has a simple arrangement of the main controls and good finishing materials. The instruments of the car are uninformative, but well readable, the four-spoke steering wheel is of the optimal size, and the center console is archaic in appearance and functional in practice.

Despite the sufficient supply of free space, it is difficult to call the TagAZ Tager salon comfortable. The front seats have indistinct lateral support and a minimum number of adjustments, although the rear sofa is shaped very well (in the short-wheelbase version it can accommodate two passengers, and in the five-door version it can accommodate three).

The cargo compartment of the SUV is small - its volume in the "stowed" state does not exceed 350 liters. The second row of seats converts and increases the capacity to 1200 liters, while forming a flat area. The spare wheel is suspended from the tailgate to save space.

Specifications. On the Russian expanses, the all-wheel drive "Tager" meets with two gasoline and two diesel engines. The most powerful version works in conjunction with a 4-range "automatic", and the rest - with a 5-speed "mechanics".

• The initial gasoline unit is a 2.3-liter inline-four with multipoint injection and 16-valve timing, which generates 150 "horses" at 6200 rpm and 210 Nm of torque at 2800 rpm. From standstill to 100 km / h, such an SUV accelerates after 12.5 seconds, gains 165 km / h of maximum speed and consumes an average of 13.2 liters of fuel in the combined cycle.
• The petrol "team" is headed by a 3.2-liter inline six-cylinder engine with a 24-valve timing and distributed injection, producing 220 "heads" at 6500 rpm and 307 Nm of peak thrust at 4700 rpm. On the move, TagAZ Tager 3.2 is not bad: it takes 10.9 seconds to conquer the first "hundred", the maximum capabilities are 170 km / h, and the "appetite" fits into 15.9 liters in the "city / highway" mode.
• Diesel modifications are equipped with turbocharged four-cylinder engines of 2.6 and 2.9 liters with row-based "pots" and a distributed power system:
  • the output of the "younger" installation is 104 horsepower at 3800 rpm and 216 Nm at 2200 rpm,
  • and the "senior" - 120 "mares" at 4000 rpm and 256 Nm at 2400 rpm.

  Cars on "diesel fuel" change 100 km / h after 16 seconds and conquer 180 km / h, using an average of 8.7 liters of fuel in combined conditions.

Structurally, "Tager" is a real off-road vehicle - a spar frame based on an independent torsion bar suspension on the front axle and a dependent rear axle suspended on coil springs.
The car "flaunts" hydraulic power steering and disc brakes "in a circle" (ventilated at the front) with ABS.
Almost all modifications are equipped with a Part-time transmission with a rigidly connected front end and a razdatka with a lowering row, and the most powerful is equipped with a permanent drive of all wheels with a cross-axle limited slip differential.

Options and prices. In 2016, TagAZ Tager can only be purchased on the secondary market - prices for it start at 220 thousand rubles and exceed 700 thousand.
The simplest SUV includes: one airbag, a fabric interior, air conditioning, power steering, power windows, 16-inch alloy wheels, standard audio preparation and heated and electrically adjustable exterior mirrors.
The flagship version has: two airbags, leather trim, fog lights, rain sensor and some other options.
