Which cars are with automatic transmission. Which automatic transmission is the most reliable? Expensive types of automatic transmissions to maintain

Many women, despite the stereotype that has developed among the people, cope with driving a car perfectly, and in part, this is the merit of a vehicle that is correctly selected for the individual qualities of a girl.

Also, when choosing a budget car, do not forget that each of the fair sex appreciates convenience and sophistication in a car.

It is these small cars for women up to 200 thousand rubles that were collected in today's ranking. Each car got into the top based on sales statistics and girls' opinions about the most reliable and convenient means of transportation around the city.

Where to start choosing a car for a woman?

The first thing to decide is this. Most often, girls choose a hatchback or a compact coupe.

Girls find these bodies as attractive and easy to drive as possible, especially when it comes to parking.

The second step is the color. At first glance, a simple solution, but it is with him that girls most often have problems, especially since each brand has its own color palette, so the vehicle may like it externally, but the desired color is not provided.

When choosing a car color, keep in mind that darker shades are less visible on the road, especially on cloudy and rainy days. Therefore, especially if the vehicle is miniature, it makes sense to think about choosing a color such as red, yellow or white.

When choosing a car brand, you should pay attention to the level of safety and technical data. The cost of spare parts and the propensity of the machine to break down will also play a fundamental role in the future.

As a result, the following factors can be included in the list of criteria for up to 200 thousand rubles:

Cozy and comfortable salon.
Low fuel consumption.
Low maintenance cost.
Safety.
Aesthetic appearance.
Bright color.
Affordable operating cost.
Dimensions.
body type.
Controllability.

It is advisable not to consider buying a used car, but if there are no options, it should not be older than 2006-2007. Since it is unlikely that a woman will be able to figure out a breakdown if she suddenly happens on the road, and in the case of old cars, this cannot be avoided.

The seller can simply hide problems that may appear in the first month of driving.

TOP 8 best small cars for women 2017

In the price range up to 200 thousand rubles, it is quite possible to find a quality car. Among all the options, 8 of the most worthy ones were selected, which are perfect for women, among them were cars of the following brands:

Hyundai;
Chevrolet;
Lifan;
matiz;
Citroen;
Peugeot;
Chery.

Each of the presented cars has a high popularity among girls, therefore, the probability that the choice will fall on one of them is very high.

Hyundai Getz

Hyundai Getz- representative of the Korean auto industry. The machine is only available in used condition, as the production of this model has been completed.

The car has a fairly large trunk, a powerful engine for its class, and the Getz has a roomy and comfortable interior.

With a limited budget of 200 thousand rubles, a car can be purchased in 2007-2010. Girls like Getz because of its good looks, fuel economy and convenience.

Plus, an automatic gearbox is installed in the car, which is a very important selection criterion for the fair sex.

matiz

Matiz- This is the most famous budget option for girls.

It is very compact, but at the same time it has 4 doors and a fairly roomy interior, which cannot be said at first glance.

The appearance of the car is also attractive, plus a large number of bright colors are available. Matiz is great for driving in city traffic, it is easy to park in it and drive through narrow openings given its fairly high level of maneuverability.

A big plus of the car is that for 200 thousand rubles it can be purchased in a new condition.

The trunk of the car is small, but there is enough space to put shopping bags. Given the above advantages, Matiz can be safely considered one of the best budget women's vehicles.

Citroen C1

For those who are not fans of the domestic auto industry, and buying a new car is not a matter of principle, there is an excellent offer from the brand Citroen - model C1.

For 200 thousand rubles, the buyer will be able to choose a car from 2007-2011. Citroen C1 is very attractive on the outside, as well as inside, the cabin is very warm, and the seats and rear sofa are very comfortable.

The car was originally designed for women, so the model looks especially advantageous in red.

The reliability of the car is confirmed by the collective work on its creation by the three giants of the foreign car industry Peugeot, Toyota and Citroen. The joint work of the companies has contributed to the assembly of the highest quality, so C1 is one of the best options for girls.

Lifan Smily I

Lifan Smily I gained its popularity and place in today's ranking because of its similarity with Mini Cooper. This car comes from China, it has 4 doors and a rather charismatic appearance, for which Russian women fell in love with.

The body color of the car can be one, and the roof another, this is one of the features that captivates at first sight.

Definitely, it is far from the build quality and technical data of the MiniCooper, but the affordable price and the ability to save on maintenance make this car one of the most attractive.

Chery Kimo

Kimo has a 1.3-liter engine, but at the same time it produces 83 hp. With. A manual transmission is included as standard, which confuses many girls a little, for them the automatic is much more convenient.

Considering that the car is Chinese, it is assembled with sufficient quality, has good maneuverability and tenaciously, as for its class, keeps on the road.

Choosing a car up to 200 thousand rubles, this candidate is definitely worth considering.

Watch a video review of the Chery Kimo car:

Chevrolet Spark

Chevrolet Spark one of the most beautiful cars of today's rating.

The car looks especially attractive in light green and white. After entering the Russian market, Spark immediately got a lot of female attention.

The car is an excellent solution for the city, it is well managed, has a modern appearance, an economical engine and a comfortable interior.

It’s impossible to buy a new model for 200 thousand rubles, but given the build quality, you can safely buy a supported Spark, but before that, carefully checking the car in the service.

Peugeot 107

Peugeot began producing the 107 hatchback back in 2007. During this time, the car has changed in many ways. The car has one of the fundamental features that women value so much, it is dissimilarity with other cars.

Peugeot 107 perfect for a girl who wants to emphasize her individuality. For 200 thousand rubles, you can purchase a model of 2007-2011. The appearance of the car is universal, it is perfect for both young girls and older business women.

When choosing a color, you should pay attention to the models of yellow, white and red.

Such models allow you to get the desired comfort during operation, mainly due to automatic transmission.

First of all, it should be borne in mind that the concept of "automatic" should mean both the "classic" hydromechanical automatic transmission and (manual transmission, robot).
So, let's look at the top four popular and cheapest new cars on the machine:

Ravon R2
CitroenC1
Chery TIGGO 2
Skoda Fabia

Ravon R2 is a five-seater hatchback "A" class, and today it is one of the cheapest cars on the machine. A car with a 4-speed automatic transmission (automatic transmission), a 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a volume of 1.25 liters and a power of 85 hp.

The model was developed based on the Chevrolet Spark. This car in the base is equipped with an ABS wheel anti-lock system, airbags for the driver and passengers. For this reason, the car is well suited for both experienced and novice motorists.

In the middle and "top" versions there is air conditioning, heated side mirrors and other useful options. Despite the high fuel consumption (9-10l per 100km), due to its characteristics and affordable price, the Ravon R2 can seriously compete with global brands in this class.

Today, the price of such a car without a run is about 7-9 thousand US dollars, depending on the configuration. In fact, in the CIS, this is the cheapest foreign car with a gun that you can buy new for that kind of money.

Citroen C1 — four-seater hatchback of the European class "A". This stylish and compact foreign car with a gun is deservedly in great demand, especially among female drivers. Citroen C1 is a car with a robotic gearbox and a 1.0-liter engine with 68 hp.

The Citroen C1 has a spacious cabin in the class, an original dashboard, a well-read on-board computer screen and a good basic package. I would also like to note that although the dimensions of the car are small and its suspension is quite rigid, the car behaves confidently on our roads.

One of the advantages of this car compared to competitors is fuel consumption, which is only 4.1-4.3 liters per 100 km. The average price for a car with a Citroen C1 automatic without a run is 12-13 thousand dollars.

Chery Tiggo 2 is a model of the Chinese brand Chery. This car is also one of the cheapest cars with an automatic transmission and is a mini crossover. In the CIS markets, the Chery Tiggo car has long been known.

The Chinese traditionally offer many options “in the base”, the exterior is distinguished by modern additions: roof rails, alloy wheels, etc. The interior of this car is notable for some elements worthy of special attention.

For example, a standard audio system with MP3 and USB connectors, a large information display, etc. The average price of a new car with automatic transmission is about 13.5 thousand dollars.

Skoda Fabia is a class B front-wheel drive hatchback/station wagon from the Czech manufacturer Skoda. This model is a quality car, as Skoda is part of the German concern VAG (Volkswagen Group). The car is comfortable, with energy-intensive suspension, well controlled.

Skoda Fabia is available in versions with both a "classic" automatic transmission and a "robot" DSG, it can also be equipped with various types of engines (gasoline engine, internal combustion engine). The simplest versions with a machine gun cost, on average, from 15-16 thousand US dollars.

Finally, we note that the above is not the entire list of new budget cars on the machine, however, these models are not only the most affordable, but also quite in demand. By the way, if we talk about the Russian Federation, the Lada Vesta AMT model is also quite popular in Russia.

Cheapest used car

As a rule, if there is not enough money to buy a new car, you can consider buying a used car on the machine. Let's look at some of the cheapest used cars with this type of gearbox, and not older than 10 years at the time of this writing.

We note right away that the top of the cheapest used cars automatically includes both the above models of different years of production and generations, as well as the following models:

Daewoo Matiz;
Chery Kimo, Chery Beat;
Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto;
ZAZ Vida, ZAZ Lanos;
Peugeot 107, Citroen C1, Toyota Aygo;

So, a used Daewoo Matiz automatic machine in different CIS markets is the cheapest car with this type of transmission. At the same time, the machine is equipped with a Japanese hydromechanical Jatco unit. Still sometimes there are versions with a CVT variator, but such cars are rare. The automatic transmission itself on the Matiz is simple and quite reliable, and this model with a gun can be bought for 3-4 thousand US dollars.

Chery Kimo is another common five-door Class B hatchback. The model is equipped with a robotic gearbox. The price of such a used car is 4 - 5 thousand rubles. dollars.

Peugeot 107 (Citroen C1, Toyota Aygo) is a subcompact urban hatchback with a three- or five-door body. The car is equipped with a five-speed robotic gearbox. Prices for such a used car in the secondary market start from an average mark of 5.5-6 thousand US dollars.

ZAZ Vida is a compact "B" class sedan/hatchback produced by AvtoZAZ. This car is a copy of the famous second generation Chevrolet Aveo. The power unit and equipment are almost the same as ZAZ Lanos.

The car is equipped with a hydromechanical automatic transmission, the machine is simple and reliable. On the used car market, for a version of the ZAZ Vida, a sedan with automatic transmission is asked, on average, from 5.5 to 7 thousand dollars, a hatchback is somewhat more expensive.

Hyundai i10 is a five-door hatchback with automatic torque converter transmission. The Hyundai i10 model is built on a common platform with Kia Picanto, which is related to the concern. The price of such a used car will be about 6-8 thousand dollars, and for the “co-platform” Picanto of the first generation they can ask about 5.5 thousand USD.

What is the result

When buying a new or used car with an automatic or robotic transmission, you need to collect as much useful information as possible about a particular model. We also add that in the case of a used car, prices may vary depending on the year of manufacture, the general technical condition of the car, etc.

It should also be noted that models with traditional automatic transmission are often more expensive than versions with manual transmission. The fact is that the classic "automatic" is more reliable and comfortable than a robotic transmission, which in the vast majority of cases is now put on budget cars in order to reduce the cost.

Rating of crossovers with automatic transmission

Compact city car brand Renault. I got into the rating of inexpensive crossovers with automatic transmission, which are recommended for purchase, because of the beautiful design, good level of equipment, reliable technical components. Unlike a competitor in the segment (Hyundai Creta), it has a 4-speed "automatic".

However, it beats in terms of appearance, interior design. A future Renault owner can choose from a wide range of 2-tone paint finishes (roof and main body panels) available.

Video: Wheelbarrow Burtsev How I owned Renault Kaptur

The 4-speed automatic transmission is paired only with a 2-liter 16v engine that develops 143 hp. and 195 Nm. The link turned out to be vigorous, but raises questions. The average consumption in the combined cycle is 8.9 liters per 100 km.

Bright and beautiful.

Good equipment.

Reliable in operation.

— Only 4 automatic transmission.

- High fuel consumption.

An inexpensive crossover with a Hyundai brand automatic, which initially debuted in the Indian and Chinese markets. Outwardly, it has several references to a more expensive one, but the interior trim is much poorer and more ascetic, especially in the initial configuration. The design leaves conflicting impressions. The crossover turned out to be neat and pretty, but the exterior lacks fresh ideas.

The main advantages of Creta over Kaptur are a 6-band “automatic” and a low starting price. The buyer can order a 123-horsepower version with automatic transmission. Such a car will cost less than 1 million rubles.

This applies to versions with automatic transmission. The ground clearance of all-wheel drive CUVs with automatic transmission is 165 mm, which equates the RAV4 to raised ones. Even this number is higher.

Toyota boasts an economical and high-torque engine, high-quality interior trim with a strict design, comfortable seats and precise gearbox operation.

Sportage is a single-platform Tucson, another mid-size crossover on the Russian market. Unlike the first generation model, it has a more non-standard design that evokes either positive or strictly negative emotions. Crossover from Kia turned out to be controversial. But the model deserves praise in technical terms.

A car in trim levels with a 6-automatic transmission is equipped with a 150-horsepower gasoline engine or a 185-horsepower diesel engine. Diesel is more powerful and tyagovye and contributes to more economical driving. Its result is 6.3 liters per 100 km in the combined cycle versus 8.3-8.4 liters for the gasoline power unit.

300 AWD - the top version of the Lexus NX with a gasoline power unit and all-wheel drive. The urban crossover turned out to be stylish and aggressive. The power reserve of the 238-horsepower engine is more than enough. At the same time, the hydromechanical automatic transmission is configured to work together with the turbo engine, allowing it to realize its power potential on the road.

300 AWD is available on the Russian market in 5 trim levels, including the "charged" F Sport Luxury. This crossover with a gun has branded interior inserts, a different grille and front bumper, a sports steering wheel and a gear selector.

Representatives of the X-family are the best crossovers with automatic transmission in terms of technology. The junior car of this line (X1) is equipped with an adaptive "automatic" Siptronic with the ability to manually shift gears. The number of steps is 7 (in the sDrive18i version) or 8.

It is noteworthy that the car owner can choose one of the many engines for the “machine”, including the least powerful 136-horsepower and top-end diesel version with a return of 231 horsepower. The latter provides acceleration to 100 km / h in 6.6 s.

Table 3. Technical characteristics of premium segment crossovers with "automatic"

Which crossover to choose?

Each of the presented models in the review has advantages and disadvantages. It all depends on the purchase budget and the primary qualities in the car for the future owner. Kaptur is a bright designer toy, while Creta is an urban hard worker with a more austere exterior. The RAV4 is a classic urban crossover, well-equipped and well-built. Sportage is more practical than the Japanese competitor, but loses in the exterior. Lexus NX is a powerful crossover with an aggressively youthful design, X1 is calm on the outside, but more high-tech on the inside.

When choosing a vehicle, potential car owners pay attention to how long the engine and gearbox are designed for. The main characteristics of reliable automatic transmissions should be considered.

Advantageous features of automatic transmission

Automatic box diagram

Automatic transmission is found both on city cars, and on trucks, passenger vehicles. The automatic transmission is based on a torque converter, a control system. Automatic options may have a manual method for changing speeds.

A car with an automatic transmission option is often chosen by novice drivers. Learning to drive such a car is easier for an inexperienced driver. Since the choice of speed modes occurs quickly, the motorist can concentrate on the road as much as possible. The rating of reliable automatic transmissions is headed by Toyota, Kia, Hyundai.

Reliable automatic transmissions

What automatic transmissions are the most reliable? Automatic gearboxes vary in resource. The following versions are designed for a maximum of 700,000 km of run:

Mercedes;
Toyota A.

According to experts involved in testing vehicles where these transmission options are present, the A340 model is recognized as the most reliable automatic transmission.

Repair of the box may be needed even before the specified period, if the car was operated in difficult conditions, due to which the clutches and oil seals wear out. These consumables must be replaced.

If you adhere to a measured driving style, diagnose the speed box in a timely manner, at least 450,000 km of run, the following options can function:

Toyota A750;
4F27E(FN4A-EL) for Mazda or Ford;
Jeep A904;
ZF 5HP 24/30.

It is necessary to characterize the features of each of the listed models.

Gearbox for Toyota, Ford, Mazda, BMW

Toyota A750 can be found on Toyota SUVs (for example, the Land Cruiser model), as well as Lexus. A feature of the gearbox is that it effectively copes with heavy loads. The risk that there will be a need for repairs even before 400,000 km of run is minimal.

4F27E (FN4A-EL) is a type of gearbox that is unpretentious in operation, which can be found on a foreign front-wheel drive Ford car, for example, Ford Focus, Fiesta. It should be noted that during the repair it is not required to remove it from a regular place. Model 4F27E is suitable for Mazda. Among the problems that can occur towards the end of the life cycle is a stuck solenoid.

Not the last place in terms of reliability is the Jeep A904 box. It quickly provides a gear change without the participation of the driver. Untimely replacement of oil and filters, as well as the use of low-quality fuel, leads to a reduction in the life of the automatic transmission. Repair of this unit is not difficult.

On the BMW 5th series, there is a ZF 5HP 24/30 box. Its distinguishing feature is an increased margin of safety. Aggressive driving, slipping are the reasons why a gearbox repair may be necessary at 500,000 km. This box is installed on Range Rover vehicles. Version 5HP24A can be found on the Audi A6, A8 with front-wheel drive. After 100,000 km, the BMW owner may experience overheating of the machine. Overheating of the box leads to accelerated wear of friction clutches, couplings.

Automatic transmission for Volvo, Opel

AW 55-50SN / 55-51SN

Volvo and Opel cars can be equipped with AW 55-50SN / 55-51SN gearboxes. They have 5 steps, while the volume of the power plant can exceed 2 liters. The high performance properties of this transmission are the main advantage of the gearbox. Also, this unit lends itself to repair and restoration work.

AW50-40LE (4 st.)

For Opel Astra H, the automatic transmission model AW50-40LE (4 stages) is suitable. According to the regulations, at 60,000 km, the transmission fluid needs to be replaced. About 12 liters of new fuel is poured into the box. The clutch is designed for approximately 120,000 km.

A340 (Aisin)

On the Volvo XC90 crossover, the A340 (Aisin) automatic machine can be installed. The box is typical for cars with rear and all-wheel drive. With a timely replacement of fuel, the automatic transmission will work for several hundred thousand kilometers.

Expensive types of automatic transmissions to maintain

What speed boxes are not reliable, expensive to maintain? Among the types of automatic transmissions that are expensive to maintain, the following versions should be distinguished:

Jatco JF011E;
Audi DL501;
LUK 01J.

Jatco JF011E Audi DL501 LUK 01J

These options are expensive to restore. In particular, the repair of the latest model can exceed several thousand dollars. There is a continuously variable transmission LUK on Audi (A5, A6). The motorist may encounter the first problems at 120,000 km. The need for repair of this gearbox is indicated if there are vibrations when changing gears or shocks are felt during this process.

On the above versions of Audi, as well as the Q5 model, the S-Tronic Audi DL501 box may be found. Its repair is no less expensive than LUK 01J. A distinctive feature of the DL501 is that it has 7 gears. Not every car service takes on the repair of this checkpoint. On an Audi car, it is periodically worth checking the condition of the drum bushings. When they are deformed, jerks are felt when changing gears.

On a number of crossovers, the Jatco JF011E stepless gearbox is found, for example, Nissan Qashqai, X-Trail, Renault Koleos. Here there is an optimal waste of fuel per 100 km, a change in speed modes occurs quickly. CVT box is light weight. With aggressive operation, premature wear of the bearings of the tapered pulleys can occur. As a preventive measure, the motorist should monitor the change in sensor indicators.

AL4/DP0 is among the unreliable ones. It is equipped with Peugeot Citroen. Unreliability is expressed in the fact that TO-4 may have problems with solenoids. They lose their working properties due to the loads on the automotive system. This box has a fully electronic control, several forward gears, including a reverse gear. Timely replacement of the transmission fluid contributes to the extension of the automatic transmission.

Last year's list of cheap cars with automatic transmission predictably consisted of the "Chinese", Lada and Ravon - adjusted for the fact that Ravon did not supply cars to Russia even then. However, now Ravon has not only suspended deliveries, but also sent them for revision of the price - so far they are not on the official website. The Chinese, represented by FAW and Brilliance, sold off the remnants of cheap Oley and H230 sedans and updated their websites - now only crossovers worth about a million remained in the assortment of both brands. Well, the VAZ state employees have since undergone an update: Granta has undergone restyling, during which Kalina merged with it - and all this has affected prices, among other things. In general, let's see who will make up the Lada company at the beginning of 2019.

Basic configuration price: from 435,000
Package price with automatic transmission: from 536,500 with AMT / from 596,500 with AT

If last year the Granta was not the cheapest “two-pedal” car on the market, yielding to the Ravon R2 and FAW Oley, now, despite the restyling and the slight increase in price associated with it, they ask for it the least. We talked about the update in detail after, and in early September we held it - in these materials you can find out exactly what changes Granta received. Many of them are small, dotted - but some little things like the trunk release button were not enough for the owners. Yes, and updating the appearance also benefited the car.

But technical changes with restyling came a little. Among the key ones are “plugless” pistons with recesses for valves, a new main pair with an increased gear ratio and a sport mode of a robotic gearbox. Otherwise, everything remained the same: three engines, three gearboxes and four (taking into account the merger with Kalina) body types. The base eight-valve 87-horsepower engine is combined only with a manual transmission, the most powerful, 106-horsepower unit with an index of 21127 works in tandem with the “robot”, and with a four-speed JF414E automatic transmission from Jatco - 98-horsepower 21126.

The basic equipment of the cheapest Granta sedan is still modest. Although painted bumpers are now a mandatory option, there is no power steering or power windows here - only a driver's airbag, ABS with BAS and a cabin filter (although the latter is not bad in itself). Such a car costs 435 thousand rubles - but there can be no talk of any automatic transmission here. The most affordable offer with two pedals is the Classic Optima for 536.5 thousand: a robotic box, electric power steering, heated mirrors and air conditioning. But there will be only one airbag, the mirrors are manually adjustable, the rear sofa is one-piece, there is no seat heating, and instead of an audio system there is a recess in the front panel. To eliminate all this, you need to pay only 20 thousand - and get the Comfort version for 556.5 thousand. But a sedan with an automatic machine is not “poor” - this is at least the same Comfort, but already for 596.5 thousand rubles. In other bodies, Granta is a little more expensive: the cheapest and without a clutch pedal cost from 551.5 thousand, and another 10 thousand more.

Datsun on-DO / Datsun mi-DO

Basic configuration price: from 480,000 / from 545,000
Equipment price with automatic transmission: from 562,000 / from 595,000

After the final merger of Granta and Kalina, it would be logical not to separate the two Datsun models - especially since technically they are practically twins. Little has changed here compared to last year: the same VAZ base, all the same differences in the level of nuances in the suspension and sound insulation, and all the same appearance, which, unlike the Lada, has not seen restyling. The main technical difference, as before, is the absence of a robotic gearbox, as well as the fact that not a 98-horsepower engine is paired with an automatic machine, but a junior 87-horsepower eight-valve 11186.

The advantages also remained unchanged: for example, it can be considered a plus that an automatic transmission is available in any version - from basic to top. There is only one exception here: the sedan is still positioned as a more affordable offering and has a basic Access version with unpainted bumpers and no option to pay extra for automatic transmission. In addition, unlike VAZ cars, Datsuns are not offered with air conditioning - climate control immediately appears here for an extra charge. In the top versions, cars under the Japanese brand are equipped with side airbags, which are not offered for Granta. And another proof of the “higher status” of Datsun is the ability to order an audio system with a 7-inch color touchscreen: Granta has lost this unpopular option.

Technically, the Stepway version is expectedly distinguished by an increased ground clearance of up to 195 mm, a denser and more energy-intensive suspension and the JF015E variator itself, which is well known from Renault-Nissan concern models. True, the CVT is the prerogative of the Stepway City version, while the “regular” and Stepway are offered with the same mechanics and a four-speed automatic. The CVT, unlike the machine, is paired exclusively with the most powerful 113-horsepower H4M engine, and other power units are the same as those of the “French” mentioned above: K7M or H4M paired with a five-speed manual or 102-horsepower K4M in combination with AKP.

Prices for Logan Stepway start at 676 thousand rubles - there is no “empty” version of Access here, and given the price, it is logical to see air conditioning, heated mirrors and front seats, power windows and more in the base. A sedan with automatic transmission costs at least 766 thousand rubles, and with a CVT it is even more expensive: 801 thousand rubles. The most expensive Logan with a long clarification "Stepway Drive City" will cost 872 thousand. Sandero is even more expensive: 723 thousand in the base, from 793 thousand with a hydromechanical automatic machine and 911 thousand in the top version.

The more we allocate for the purchase, the more clearly the love of buyers in Russia for everything “crossover” becomes, even if in fact it differs only in the presence of a decorative plastic body kit. - another such "crossover": a small hatchback with 185 millimeters of ground clearance and exclusively front-wheel drive, but with black plastic decorations on the arches. Otherwise, there are no revelations either: there is a beam in the rear suspension, under the hood there is a 1.5-liter engine with the LF479Q2 index, which produces a modest and tax-inconvenient 103 horsepower. The only “vent” is the opportunity to pay extra and choose not a five-speed mechanics, but a variator, although this combination will please only a calm driver.

Lifan X50 "11.2014-present

The minimum amount to buy Lifan X50 is 690 thousand rubles. However, the pricing here is quite typical for Chinese brands: the difference between the "base" and "top" is small, so from the starting Comfort to the two-pedal Luxury CVT - only 80 thousand. However, there are at least differences: a multifunction steering wheel, rear parking sensors and heated front seats. Even the sunroof and a multimedia system with a touchscreen and navigation went only to the "mechanical" version of Luxury. You can pay extra in a car with a CVT only for the Off-Road stylistic package, which offers overlays for arches and bumpers for 25 thousand rubles. By the way, it is also worth noting that for all the machines discussed above, only prices for 2019 copies were indicated, but the X50 can only be purchased last year.

Almera has already been discontinued, and therefore it should not be surprising that, like Lifan, only last year's cars remained on sale. However, while she is living out her life "from stocks", it would also be unfair to exclude her from the list. Nissan expects that these stocks will be enough for the spring, which indicates not the highest demand. There is nothing to be surprised here: the related Logan has already been updated several times, and since 2012 Almera has continued to exploit the image of the “big Logan” without any noticeable changes. In addition, only one engine is offered for the sedan - the “intermediate” 102-horsepower K4M, which is the same for the five-speed mechanics and for the same four-speed DP2 automatic.
