What to expect from the cheapest foreign car in the CIS: the flaws of Chevrolet Lanos with mileage. Chevrolet Lanos - Ownership Reviews, Technical Information, Study History Model Lanos Lanos Family

30.01.2017

Chevrolet. Lanos.) - not only a folk car, but also one of the most inexpensive cars that have ever been presented in our market. Therefore, in most cases, the car of this model is considered as an alternative to used cars of the Russian auto industry. This car is considered one of the best options only if the budget for the purchase of the car is small, also, Lanos is perfect for beginner drivers. Like most cars with mileage, Chevrolet Lanos has a number of shortcomings, but what they are, and what to pay attention to when buying, I will tell you in this article.

A bit of history:

The first Lanos was represented by the Korean company Daewoo at the Geneva Motor Show, but the development began significantly earlier, in 1993. The body design was developed by the famous Designer Studio Italdesign under the guidance of Georgetto Judjaro. Power units are partially borrowed from Opel and improved by Porsche engineers. After in 2002, General Motors bought a 42% stake in Daewoo, it was decided to jointly produce this car model. Initially, the car was presented in three types of body - three- and four-door hatchback and sedan. Also, there was a limited batch of convertibles (produced from 1997 to 2002). Until 2002, Lanos was collected in Korea, but, after the launch of mass production, the car began to collect in Poland, as well as in Ukraine and Russia. Since 2008, the car was produced only at the Zaporozhe Plant in Zaporizhia.

Weak places Chevrolet Lanos with mileage

Paintwork and metal body elements are quite poor quality, as a result, corrosion on the car body appears after 3-5 years of operation. Most often rust appears on the arches, thresholds, edges of the doors, the front of the hood and the lid of the trunk. Therefore, to protect the car from corrosion impact it is recommended to process the body and the bottom of anti-corrosion means at least once every 3-4 years. Over time, moisture appears in the cabin and the trunk, also there are complaints about the durability of the trunk castle.

Engines

For all the production of Chevrolet, Lanos was completed only a 1.5 liter gasoline power unit with a capacity of 86 hp. One of the most common problems of this engine is considered to flow oil through the cylinder head laying (the gasket replacement is required of 30-40 thousand km). The motor is equipped with a timing belt drive, with a service interval of replacement every 60,000 km. However, with a replacement, it is better not to delay and carry it a little earlier, since after 500 km there is a high probability of a belt break, which leads to serious consequences (flexing valve). Many owners in order to save, refuel by poor-quality fuels, this leads to rapid clogging and premature failure of the fuel pump.

Often presents surprises and the cooling system - ceases to function the radiator, fails and the thermostat. If it does not identify a malfunction on time, it can lead to overheating of the motor, and, in the future, and to expensive repair (leads the head of the cylinder block). Do not reliability and sensors of injection system, absolute pressure, throttle position and lambda probe. A fairly common problem is when the engine begins to work unstable (housing in XX), the problem is required to replace the idle sensor. From the merit advantages, unpretentiousness can be allocated to the quality of fuel and a fairly large resource to overhaul (up to 500,000 km).

Transmission

Chevrolet Lanos was completed only by a five-speed manual transmission, which was not provided alternatives. Most complaints here concern not so much reliability and durability as its user characteristics. Most often, transmission is criticized for fuzzy inclusion of gears and noise of work. If the box started to buzz, try to change the oil once every 30,000 km, this procedure slightly improves the situation, but does not solve the problem completely. Once at 50-60 thousand km is required to adjust the scenes, which is divided without any reason. FROMthe chain on average runs 50-60 thousand km, but, with careful operation, it can serve 100,000 km.

Chevrolet Lanos suspension reliability

Chevrolet Lanos is equipped with a semi-dependent suspension: in front - MacPherson, behind - the beam with the longitudinal levers fastened on the body. To increase the transverse stability and improved controllability inside the beam, a cross-stability stabilizer is installed, the ends of which are fixed on the suspension levers. As for the reliability of the suspension, it is difficult to call it hard. Most complaints causes the resource of shock absorbers and their springs, which in rare cases exceeds 30,000 km. The wheel bearings may begin to buzz and after 20,000 km (the rear require adjustment), but often 30-40 thousand km is enough, ball supports will also serve as much as much. Silent blocks and support bearings run 50-70 thousand km.

As for the reliability of the steering rail, it all depends on the operating conditions, but if you take the average, its resource is 60-80 thousand km. Steering tips and thrust start knocking after 50,000 km of run. It is worth noting that all data belongs only to the original details, also need to understand that most owners take inexpensive analogues, and their resource can be at times less. The biggest plus chain Chevrolet Lanos is that its repair costs cheap enough, and if you have at least the slightest idea of \u200b\u200bthe device of the chassis, you can spend it yourself.

Salon

Traditionally, for budget vehicles, low-quality salon finishing materials, as a result, screens, knocks and other irritating sounds become commonplace. Also, due to low quality, over time, the stove control buttons and other plastic elements begin to be laid. Not famous for its durability and wiring, over the years it negatively affects the performance of the electrical equipment of the cabin (failures begin).

Outcome:

This car is the main challenger for the role of the first car, also, it will be a good alternative to AvtoVAZ. If we talk about the reliability of this car, the main nodes and units, with due service, will not deliver many problems. In this price range, Chevrolet Lanos is perhaps the most interesting option, but if there is an opportunity to buy a car a little more expensive, it is better to look at.

If you are the owner of this car model, please describe the problems that you have to face during the operation of the car. Perhaps it is your feedback that will help readers of our site when choosing a car.

Car Chevrolet Lanos Sedan

Daewoo Lanos is an easy (subcompact) front-wheel drive car with the body options sedan or hatchback, developed and originally produced by Daewoo, was first introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1997 under the name Daewoo Lanos as a replacement Daewoo Nexia. It was designed in collaboration with a number of authoritative German and British engineering companies in Daewoo's research and development center in Woking. The car body was developed by the Italian designer Georgetto Judjaro (Italdesign). With the entry of Daewoo to the GENERAL MOTORS concern on April 30, 2002, the car began to sell under the Chevrolet brand.

Prehistory

It all started in 1992, when the joint venture of Daewoo and General Motors ceased to exist. After that, Daewoo was decided to develop new cars to replace the old on its own forces. The Lanos development program was launched in the fall of 1993 from a comparative study of competing models of twenty different manufacturers, following which the Toyota Tercel model, Opel Astra and Volkswagen Golf were named the most important competitors.

Lanos was designed in cooperation with a number of authoritative German and English engineering companies in Daewoo's research and development center in Woking. The development involved the following companies: Rochester Products Division (Engine), Delco Electronics (Brakes, including ABS), GM PowerTrain Europe (Automatic Transmission), ItalDesign (Body, Structural Analysis, Electrical Equipment, Making Primary Sample), Pars Passive Rückhaltesystem GmbH ( Airbag) and Porsche (concept card - diagnostics, structural analysis, suspension and components of the brake system, experimental production observation). The body design was developed by the famous Italian Italdesign Atelier under the guidance of Georgetto Judjaro. His design was chosen according to the results of the competition, in which 4 options for the appearance of the car participated.

By the end of 1995, 150 prototypes were already manufactured. The model development program included many tests in various places. Safety test included checks on the stability and reliability of work at high speeds, which was held at the Treatment Polygon of the Technical Center in Winter (United Kingdom), as well as testing brakes on Grosglockner in Austria. Low-temperature testing was conducted in Canada, Sweden and Russia (in Moscow and Khabarovsk), and high-temperature - in the United States (Death Valley), Oman (Names), Australia (Alice Springs), Spain (Barcelona) and Italy (Nado). Engines partially copied by Opel, brought the Porsche Engineering Unit specialists.

As a result, the Lanos car (with the factory index T100) was developed and launched in production for 30 months and cost $ 420 million. This is the first Daewoo's own design. A small middle class (class C) Daewoo Lanos, designed on the Daewoo Nexia platform, was first introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1997, in the same year the car began to release in South Korea. The model included three types of body: three-door hatchback, five-door hatchback and sedan. The engines were installed on the cars from 1.3 to 1.6 liters, with a capacity of 75 to 106 hp. A limited batch of Lanos Cabrio in the body of a convertible, which was produced from 1997 to 2002 was also created. First, Daewoo Lanos was released only in Korea. But already in the same 1997, Lanos began to gather in Poland at the FSO factory.

In 2002, General Motors Daewoo Auto & Technology was established, after which Lanos began to be sold under the Chevrolet brand of General Motors (GM). GM made its changes to the appearance of the car, namely: the shape of the trunk cover, the lining of the radiator and the rear wings, the shape of the inner handles and the upholstery of the side doors, the shape of the rear lights.

Since 2004, Chevrolet Lanos is collected at the ZAZ plant. The official supply of cars to Russia under the Chevrolet Lanos brand began in 2005, and since 2009 - called ZAZ Chance

Overview

Specifications

Silence Aggregate Chevrolet Lanos volume of 1.5 liters is designed based on the Daewoo Nexia engine with the same working volume of 1.5 liters, but contains some structural differences in ignition and nutrition systems. To reduce the toxicity of the exhaust gas, the power unit is equipped with a recirculation system. To implement the norms of Euro-2, the model is equipped with a catalytic neutralizer of exhaust gases. Motor of 1.6 liters - 16-valve, with obviously better performance (power, efficiency). In general, the motor range of existing CHEVROLET LANOS clones worldwide is much more diverse and in addition to the already named Korean engines there are other variations, such as the power units of the Melitopol Plant (MEMZ) on the ZAZ L-1300 / SENS models, represented by carburetor motors 1 , 3 l and injection volume of 1.3 l and 1.4 liters.

Front suspension in Lanos - such as MacPherson, independent, spring, with a transverse stability stabilizer. Rear suspension semi-dependent, spring. Brake mechanisms of front wheels disk, rear - drum. Steering device - type of a lake gear, on some cars - with a hydraulic agent. The car turned out to be fairly maneuverable, with a small radius of turning. The height of the road lumen is 165 mm for cars intended for the CIS countries. Undoubted dignity is a spacious trunk (395 l), however, the backrest of the seats, although they are folded, do not form with the floor of the smooth surface. But the passengers will be crowded back, especially large people - the lack of space for his knees affects.

Equipment in terms of safety wealth does not shine. In the basic configuration, the LANOS does not even have airbags, it is offered only in SE version. The car is equipped with inertial diagonal safety belts for the driver, front passenger and extreme reverse passengers, for the middle passenger there is a belt belt. In the crash tests (Euro Ncap, 1998; Arcap, 2006), the car showed itself far from brilliantly. Low results in the credits (incomplete three and two stars, respectively) are associated with insufficient saturation technologies for preventing consequences in the accident. On the other hand, it is not bad, taking into account the price category.

Modifications of the model line of the Lanos family

• Daewoo Lanos, he is a CHEVROLET LANOS car, a 4-door sedan is the most common model. If you compare how much Lanos is new, add the availability of spare parts, "okay" to this with regard to this fuel, it will become clear why the people's foreign car in the countries of the former USSR are more readily used as a car-taxi.
• Daewoo Lanos / Chevrolet Lanos 5-door hatchback. The exterior and the interior almost completely repeat the appearance of the sedan.
• Daewoo Lanos Sport 3-door sedan, he is a Lanos coupe. Pseudo-alpinitive version. As soon as possible in South Korea. Was removed from production at the end of 2003. Currently is considered a rare model. It has other from the sedan and the 5-door hatchback front and rear bumpers, a spoiler visor, "skirts", massive back optics, on the front wings of sending "Sport", alloy wheels. The 3-door Lanos 2003 was equipped with a 106-strong 1.6-liter Opolev engine and automatic transmission. Accelerated up to 200 km / h. Completed with two frontal safety pillows, reinforced security belts, including for rear seat passengers. Due to the fact that the model is no longer produced, the owners of the owners use original body details, especially non-standard, longer than ordinary, doors.
• Daewoo Lanos II (factory index T-150) - a sedan, who after a minor restyling and rebrandingArs sell in Russia, as a new Chevrolet Lanos, is also known as Zaz Lanos. It has several other shape of the rear lamps, modified, due to the elongated geometry of the rear wings and trunk, profile. "Morda" acquired a branded Chevrolet cross and a wider radiator grille. Chevrolet Lanos directory included airbags. Simultaneously with the start of Sales Daewoo Lanos II in 2002, the issue of this model was discontinued. Chevrolet Lanos car gave way to the Chevrolet Aveo family. From 2004 to the present, cars LANOS T-100 and T-150 ruler are collected only at the Ukrainian Auto Plant.
• Daewoo Sens, He's Zaz Sens - a new car Lanos of the Ukrainian assembly in the bodie of the 4-door sedan. Factory index L-1300 with engine and transmission from Tavria, which made it possible to significantly reduce the price of the car. Sens are equipped with unconventional for the rest of the Lanos family of Melitopol production of a 1.3 liter meme and a capacity of 70 hp. Ukrainian Chevrolet Lanos 2008 Instead of a 1.3-liter engine, complete the new injection 1,4-liter MEMZ-317 engine with a capacity of 77 horsepower production all the same Melitopol plant with an automatic transmission made in Korea. The "Causement" of the motor was the reason that since the end of 2008 - early 2009 on Sens (New Chevrolet Lanos) the price rose by about 7%. In connection with the end of the contract between Avtozaz and General Motors to use the Chevrolet brand, Lanos 2009 in the Russian market is sold under the Zaz Chance brand (chance).
• Lanos-Pickup He is Lanos-van (heel) - a limited batch, assembled in Ukraine, as a result of April. Chevrolet Lanos 2005 wagon is going to Avtozaz.
• LANOS-ELECTRO is an environmentally friendly Lanos concept - the machine stated by the same automaker within the framework of the "Metropolitan Auto Show" held in Kiev in 2010. The green car of Chevrolet Lanos is equipped with a 15-kW power batteries, which theoretically allows for about 100 km on one recharge.
• Lanos-Cabrio, he is Lanos Sport only without a roof - is known only in the form of pictures - as a visual idea, a brave conceptual development of Daewoo.

Options and configuration Chevrolet Lanos

LANOS model range was presented to four main options:

• S is the minimum basic equipment of Chevrolet Lanos, almost naked - no electric double-glazed windows, CD players and other useful options. Official dealers housed a joke that even asking how much Chevrolet Lanos costs, was considered indecent.
• SE - slightly different from basic assembly. Options added electrical heating rear window, bumper under body color, rear fog.
• SE PLUS - Included an electric headlights, partial galvanizing body parts.
• SX - CD player, tape recorder, radio, electric windows, electric rear-view mirrors, fog front headlights.
• limited Lanos Hardware Sport - For a while, this package was proposed with options similar to SE + SX, black and red leather and metallized silver elements of the interior trim. On such a Chevrolet Lanos, the price was quite uncommittent and, depending on the number of fastened, could shone even the imagination of Maserati owners.

The Ukrainian New Chevrolet Lanos is available for three main options for configuration:

• S - In the base assembly, the machine is equipped with plastic bumpers in the color of the body, full of size, rear sofa, folded in the proportion of 6/4, electrical heating of the rear windows. Lanos Chevrolet Textile Salon, most often monochrome.
• SE - Such Auto Lanos has a steering column power steering, electric front windows lifts, two front airbags from the driver's seat.
• SX - New Lanos 2012 is equipped with a central lock, tachometer, front and rear fog lights, air conditioning.

Advantages and disadvantages of the car

• Noise insulation leaves much to be desired, the engine (on high speeds), the operation of the suspension, the noise of the heater fan noise, however, for many motorists, the price is blocking this annoying drawback.
• The 1.5-liter eight-lipped motor is directly agreed with KP, but its small power of 86 hp is unlikely to delight lovers of dying ride.
• The steering is also not designed for active drivers, since at high speeds hardly allows you to keep the trajectory of movement.
• The brakes are not enough informative, on a slippery road very by the way ABS, but it is available only as an option in more expensive equipment.
• The doors open-close rather gently, but at the same time they make a characteristic grinding, but many are ready to forgive it, comparing with domestic cars.
• Landing on the driver's seat for a high person is simply extremely uncomfortable, like the driver's seat itself. The adjustment is ineffective, so the driver with an outstanding growth will have nowhere to move away, when trying to adjust, you will have to choose between comfort for hands or convenience of clicking on the pedal.
• The rear seat is quite closed for three people: extreme sideways sideways, and do not envy the comfort of the middle passenger. Dacia Logan, for example, with its luxury passenger seat, obviously not a couple of Lanos.
• Review and rearview mirrors. From the driver's chair, the review cannot be called successful - the width of the front side of the body leaves much to be desired, despite the fact that the external mirrors are rather small, the road is visible in them not very good.
• Wipers leave not a little uncleaned surface at the top of the windshield.
• The internal interior of the slaughter-Spartan car, everything is strictly and without frills, inside hard gray plastic. Pockets in the front door lining and the glom-size glove box.
• Side glass rises and lowered with a little effort.
• The volume of the trunk is quite modest, but it can be increased after pre-laying the rear seat.
• But the consumption of gasoline in the urban cycle is completely immodest, which promised by the manufacturer 10.4 liters turns into 12-13 liters per 100 km, especially for new machines that are at the routing stage. However, a low variety of gasoline is often the cause.

After analyzing ads in the press and on specialized sites, we defined the "red price" for LANOS, depending on the year of release. Report that, due to the fact that the odometer is easily twisted, the mileage declared by the seller can not pay attention at all. Just keep in mind that on average car per year runs about 25-30 thousand km. That is, 5-year-old Lanos passed the minimum of 125-150 thousand km.

• Up to $ 4 thousand We found about 5 cars for such a price. All of them were released until 2003 and have damage to the body. The engine at least two times passed the overhaul. The state of the chassis also leaves much to be desired. And the worst is the salon that is risen so much that you need to produce some dry-cleaners to get rid of the smell of the older. To bring such a car in order will cost another $ 2.5-3 thousand. But note that if the body's geometry is broken after a serious accident, a fully serviceable car of any age is no longer done.
• $ 4-7 thousand. For such money you can find a more or less live car 2003-2005, but with significant flaws. For example, "killed" engine, wild wings, problems with chassis and electronics. If there is only one or two problems and the body geometry is not broken, then you can buy such a car, but you need to eliminate all breakdowns (one malfunction is drawn by another). So, it is possible to make a complete overhaul for $ 700, to sort out the running - for $ 500, or, for example, replace the muffler for $ 200. That is, you need to plan a purchase so that a minimum of $ 1-1.5 thousand remains about the stock, but if everything is worn out, for example, a car worked in a taxi, then a minimum of $ 3 thousand will take off the restoration. That is, the point of watching the car today.
• $ 7-9 thousand. For such money, you can choose a good option from 5 to 2 years. Moreover, it makes sense to pay more for a good configuration: HBO, air conditioning, electric car and good radio. Motor, chassis and body at this age, if the owner followed the car and did not get into an accident, alive.

Equipment

The car is sold in several modifications: S (basic), SE (improved) and SX (comfort). Unlike the basic, in the SE version there is a power steering, front electric windows, air conditioning, tachometer and central locking. Even more preferable the car in the SX configuration: there are front fog lights, airbag, and the steering wheel is adjustable. In addition, the car is equipped with ABS, and the wheels are 14 inch (on the usual - 13 inches).

Engines 1.5 and 1.6 l: technical nuances

LANOS equipped with 1.5 L (86 l.) And 16-valves 1.6 liters (106 liters.). Both motors are similar to the "Opolevsky" development of the 80s (from the models of Kadett E and AsCona C). Lack of both is a high fuel consumption in the city (about 10 liters per 100 km).

At first glance, it is better to buy a car with a more powerful engine. But the mechanics on various hundred say that in case of its failure, the overhaul will cost a third more expensive ($ 1000 instead of 600-700), and taking into account the fact that we choose a non-carbon car, the capital card may be needed in a couple of months. Note that both engines are sensitive to the timing belt cliff - valves are bend. Therefore, immediately after buying a nonsense, we advise you to replace the belt and rollers. At the same time, the wizard producing a substitution will be examined for the leakage of water pump ("lives" about 200 thousand km).

We also advise you to pay attention to the cooling system whose fault can lead to a quick overhaul. Make it easy: Get the car, give the engine to warm up and felt the bottom nozzle of the cooling system. If he does not warm, you need to change the thermostat. At the same time, look at the fan of the cooling system: if it did not turn on after warming up, you need to change the sensor responsible for it. And, of course, there should be no leaks in the system.

With proper maintenance, the motor resource is about 300 thousand km or about 10 years. But due to the low quality of our gasoline, the engines often do not pass 150 thousand. The sign of the rapid overhaul is a gray smoke from the pipe on an immentable engine.

The first after the aggravated mileage gives the valve seals, simultaneously fit the end and hydrocompensators - the repair will cost about $ 300. Also because of poor gasoline can break the fuel pump: the filter grid is clogged, it burns due to excessive load.

Another trouble that is peculiar to many cars older than 5 years old is an electrician. Sensors are burning, the high-voltage wires fail. So it's best to replace these details after the purchase ($ 100). However, the described disadvantages are characterized by cars of any manufacturer.

We watch the salon and body

As a state of the cabin, you can often restore the history of the car. First of all, look at the steering wheel: after 200 thousand km he is so polished that Already glitters. If the age of the car is small, then it most likely worked in a taxi or somewhere on the company. Even if the steering wheel and changed before selling, the pedals with worn rubber lining can be judged about this mileage.

Now fold the back of the seats of the rear row. If the car was carried out by car (for example, a foreman was driving), it will be traces of wear. The same thing speaks and worn from the inside the trunk. By the way, if the plastic fastenings on the trunk are damaged or missing them, it means it was removed to repair the body - the car was broken.

You can confirm this guess, you can remove the spare wheel - after the work done, there will be traces of welding and / or putty.

On the attachments, it is possible to determine whether the bumper was filmed: the masters usually put non-vet bolts, which is immediately visible. Rehend to this seriously: the front bumper could shoot after the accident (an accident hidden the replacement of the hood).

How much is Chevrolet Lanos?

Since 2009, Lanos in the Russian market is sold in more than 12 modifications. On the balance of imported Chevrolet Lanos, the price of 2012 is approximately equal to the value of Ukrainian Lanos-chance (ZAZ Chance) and begins from 250-260 thousand rubles. The most expensive Lanos - 5-door hatchbacks with semi-cure engines in the SX configuration. On such a car Lanos Price begins from 355 thousand rubles. ZAZ LANOS can be bought for the amount from 250 to 350 thousand rublesDepending on the type of body, engine power and configuration. Ukrainized LANOS ZAZ SENS is worth order 220 thousand rubles. Lanos Van (ZAZ Lanos Pickup) for sale for 250-280 thousand rubles. For any color in the metallic version you need to pay about 5 thousand rubles. In the secondary market on Lanos 2007, the price is at least half less than the price of Chevrolet Lanos of the recent years of release.

The price of the new Chevrolet Lanos in the minimum configuration starts with the amount of order 250 thousand rublesThat allows the car to confidently hold on to the list of best-selling cars. A little higher cost Chevrolet Lanos, who remained in warehouses of official dealers, does not prevent them from selling them no less active than new Zaz Chance. The plans of the Russian representation of the Avtozaz - to conquer at least 2% of the car market and keep behind Chevrolet Lanos 2012 title of one of the best-selling budget cars in the world.

Chevrolet Lanos is an economy class car. First was introduced in 2008. Naturally, from the eco-class car you should not expect any outstanding characteristics. And Chevrolet Lanos also has its pros and cons. However, there are often disadvantages that should not be. Moreover, defects are manifested in all major systems and parts of the car. They manifest themselves both in new and in a supported car. And regardless of what kind of machine setting, in which body it is purchased.

Advantages and advantages of Chevrolet Lanos:

1. Affordable price;
2. Small dimensions. Convenient to park;

Car equipped five speeds manual transmission. The main drawback is not so much in reliability and service life, but in user qualities. The device does not clearly turn on and noisily works. Replacing the situation will help the replacement of oil. This procedure must be performed every 30 thousand km. Thus, the buzz will be quieter or disappeared into everything, but for a while.

After 55 thousand km, the scenes are breaking down without explicit for that causes. Adjusting the node to restore the previous state. The clutch is capable of listening to no more than 60 thousand km. There are also more long time to 100 thousand km under the condition of respect.

The lack of body is painting. It is poor quality, so chips, scratches appear on it quickly. Corrosion resistance at a low level, the details in three years begin to rust. Articles, thresholds, door edges, trunk lid and hood are especially vulnerable. You can fight the problem. It is enough to handle the body with a special anti-corrosion agent every 5 years.

A vulnerable place is the trunk castle. Over time, it fails to replace the new one. In the cabin and the luggage compartment there may be moisture.

The frequent problem of Chevrolet Lanos is the low efficiency of the brakes, especially the rear. It is especially manifested if not changing the brake fluid every 30 thousand km of mileage.

Chassis

Chevrolet Lanos hodovka elements are distinguished by their short exploitation. Car owners allocate weak shock absorbers. Already in 50 thousand km of mileage, the comfortable suspension ceases to be so. Many complaints to the hub bearings that begin to crunch after 20-25 thousand km. Ball supports require replacement every 50-60 thousand km. Sudden breakdowns - a frequent malfunction of Lanos. Another "sore" machine is a steering rail. It often occurs to flow, knock, hum, and the tips of the steering rack fail.

A lot of problems arises with the engine. And if the motor volume of 1.6 l more or less pleases with stable operation, then the engine volume of 1.5 liters requires constant attention. The timing belt timing is often torn after 70-80 thousand km. At the same time valves are bent. Therefore, experts give advice to constantly check the status of the belt and to replace it, as well as install new videos. A similar situation with a generator drive belt, which requires replacement after 50-60 thousand km.

It often fails the gasket of the GBC, it begins to flow. The absolute pressure and throttle position sensors in the injection system often cease to work.

Cooling system

Claims also often occur to the cooling system. The radiator is distinguished by its unreliability. Antifreeze leak - a frequent problem. Also, many vehicle owners are replaced by the thermostat and the sensor responsible for the operation of the cooling system fan.

Gear box

Of course, the weaknesses were found in the checkpoint. The factory clutch disc is distinguished by its short service life. Often it is enough for only 50 thousand km. And if the car is constantly stuck in traffic jams, then the breakdown may occur before. After 80-100 thousand km, the box begins to buzz. It is possible to correct the problem with a replacement of oil. And one more frequent problem is the work of KPP stems, which can be deregulated without any reason.

It would seem that problems may arise in the cabin? However, Chevrolet Lanos distinguished himself in everything. Many owners noted such a defect of the factory assembly - as a poor-quality fastening of the rear-view mirror. Many it simply fell off in a month and a half after the purchase. There are complaints and tightness. In some machines, the rear window is poorly incisible, because of which the water gets inside the cabin. Problems also arise as a breakdown of a blower switch, loss of hours from the center console, the squeak of the rear seats. Such small defects owners tend to solve themselves with the help of subwoofers. However, in the complex, all breakdowns leave not the best impression of the car.

The main drawbacks of Chevrolet Lanos

1. Large fuel consumption
2. Low noise insulation
3. Little Salon and Trunk
4. Low quality LKM.
5. Low corrosion resistance
6. Small ground clearance

   I want to say a little in defending Lanos. I do not even have Lanos, but Chans 1.5, 2009. The first thing that changed this shock absorbers in a circle is 75,000 km, we drove 2 out of 4. Through 3000km changed the stoves, the right began to affect. The timing changed at 112000km. A, another radiator has changed the NA82000km. These are all major replacements. The worst is the body. The front wings rotted to hole for 6 years. Sound insulation is good, for its class. The engine and gearbox at a good level, the oil in the engine changes every 10,000 km, did not change in the checkpoint (not the noise and switches well), but forgot, the clutch changed 109,000 km. Replacing oil with filters cost an average of 2200-2500t.r. In general, if not the body machine otherwise, very much nothing. EU is something like this. Thank you.

   Than? It's easier, according to your description, pass the car into the scrap immediately on the day of purchase, just throw in Schroeder and digest ... I go to Chevrolet 2005, mileage 82 t.km. None of the above listed sores other than noise insulation was noticed so far. LCPs are jealous even the experienced auto owners, the suspension is super, for all the time, the use of Never blocked the engine's protection, although in the country the terrible sprinkle in the form of pits. Mirror disappears? Nonsense! Rear window? Korean with a sealing apparent throughout Korean, never proceeded. Sensors are also brainstorms. What else? Wiring Ukraine "Dneprodzerzhinsk". It raises discontent and doubt, all the harnesses are wrapped with a tape from the plant, as it is not careful in general, the hokhlyaki wondered with wiring, but everything is OK. For spare parts, the box is perfect, super grip, brakes? Changed due to discovers and drums in the circle Brembo Italy (discs, pads, drums) Zhiy brake Brembo Dot 5.1, Motul 2100 15W50 oil, PPC Motul W80, Antifreeze Totachi Long Life Collant Carboxylate Japan, timing belts and Bosch generator. GOR is missing, and so comfortable, the rail does not give signs of disease - all the rig. Ball, shoes, springs, shock absorber cartridges, support bearings, hub bearings, radiator, silent blocks - all native Polish-Korean. Gaskets Yes, I watched a condition under the valve lid and changed the gasket that it was not anything (the lid in the crumb of dust by the gasket accidentally put in the garage). There are no problems with a poor gloss, nor with the trunk, also does not torment the winter and luchek of the gas tank (I think the plastic mounting to dismantle the elements of the interior of the cabin is harmless to the LCP). Light in the blocks, behind the linated LED light bulbs - the light of each section is super, especially pleasant in the turn signals, on the sides of the diodes in repeaters, in front of the usual light bulbs HELLA +50 Hella dimensions and linated LEDs in turn repelors. NGK candles and in general, all consumables of famous brands, oils and other clad, lamps, filters, belts, pads, and battery Exide Premium 61 A / h. The car was inherited and for a long time for the battery stood, the old battery was planted 7 times in "0" and riding it, I took it out in an acceptance for scales for 780 p. Machine fairy tale. If I and I will have something to be serious, based on quality and durability, Lesch in order to remain difficult for a long time comfort. Lost as it is now. And not due to the fact that everything was falling apart everything to ... or it is unraveling. I completely forgot the brushes threw the factory kids during idle cars managed to harm and stuck Hella 19. " I think if in the second typewriter Kalina wagon something that is, then this is not comparable to Lanos. The clutch rightly say designed under the Hulk than in Lanos, the electronic axer and empty pressure of the press, than the Lanos throttle cable, shock absorbers at the speed in Kalina are ready to make you all the bones and turn out the intestines outside when in Lanos just swim along the road)). Only noise insulation is lame in Lanos, which mentioned above. But, I think the only problem of solving noise isolation by hand))) And site errors 1e Lanos drive to a maximum of 167 km / h, Lanos Sport has been produced short time in Korea with automatic transmission, yes Yes - 3-km / h and 2e Lanos was created in 1998. With the Daewoo Lanos model, created to replace Daewoo Nexia were then Chevrolet T100, Chevrolet Lanos Saloon, Chevrolet Kalos, Chevrolet Kalos Saloon, Chevrolet Lanos Sport Korea Avtomat, Zaz Chance "SANS". Sport as and Sans was hatchback. In general, a well-groomed machine, which I met how my total 3 out of 300 seen worth my money, I like my simplicity with my simplicity and comfort, although from the SX configuration just that - the driver's airbag and the presentable handlebar tires me))) brushes on the hood Not shkryabat and even the bank of the silencer Original Daewoo Korea - did not rot.

3. Do not judge strictly

   4 years (100t.km) and normal flight)) pah pah pah ... The most interesting thing is that in the first year he drove 50t.km. Queuo LCP Yes, not quite good, no dispute! BUT! Machine for 10 years, and it is native and if it were not for my personal shoals (and wives, respectively :)), it would be much better. Salt, Xuel and other reagents achieve everything else. Hood suspension! Yes, not Merc, but is justified by a rare replacement and the Dieta price tag! In short, I'll go directly to the horseradish: headlights, stove, consumption for 1.5L 10l in the city is somehow not by Cafa. For me, this is all. And the same, this is all treated inexpensive, so it is to see this wheelbarrow with a market price from 20t.r. (It was for this price that I bought two cars, and one in full minced) and the maximum in 150t.r. Without taking into account bargaining, but there a mosquito nose is not pushing, it's better better than our car industry (yes, they ask me jacket-youngsters of a fan of pompous) I have everything. Thanks for attention.

Before answering the readers of interest, the question "Where are Chevrolet Lanos?" It is important to note that this model is also referred to as Daewoo Lanos. This is the same car, with the name of which confusion often arises. The thing is that since 2005, Daewoo owns the American giant General Motors. That is why, from the moment on the domestic market, the model is called Chevrolet Lanos.

However, we will not deepen into demagogy and proceed to the main issue of the article.

Place assembly

It is worth noting that, despite the great popularity of the model Chevrolet Lanos, the domestic plants do not produce this model. For Russia, the car is exported from Ukraine, where the model is called ZAZ Lanos, and make it at the Zaporizhia car factory.

At the Zaporizhia enterprise, a full cycle of car assembling is held, which includes the production of individual components, body welding and salon assembly, as well as car painting and quality control.

In 2009, the Zaporizhia branch stopped working with General Motors. Therefore, the name of the model in the Russian market has changed at ZAZ Chance. However, the name is the only thing that has changed in the model, as the concept of assembly, technical characteristics and other aspects of the car remained the same.

Build quality

I want to immediately note one important point: the domestic motorists Chevrolet Lanos attracts primarily due to the fact that the car is not very demanding when repairing, and on any car market you can find a lot of necessary parts and components. Sherlet Lanos owners do not have to wait for weeks the delivery of necessary spare parts.

But, as it turned out, this plus is a stick with two ends. After all, as you hope for the high quality of the car, the details for which you can get on any corner.

Experts negatively note the quality of the body assembly, separate parts of the cabin and the interior as a whole, and also definitely not the best paint and varnish. The main reason for this lies in the fact that the developers of all available methods tried to save on the assembly process. And they did it so that the total cost of the car was low, and every resident of Russia could acquire it.

If we talk about the shortcomings in more detail, first of all it is worth noting the inability of the body to corrosion. Metal itself, from which the body is assembled, very thin, which often leads to deformations. Not impressive and plastic, which is used in the interior decoration, because it is very unstable to scratches, but it will not be built. As noted above, the paintwork is not the highest level, which also contributes to the emergence of corrosion.

Those who went to a foreign car for what time, most likely not like the Chevrolet Lanos audio system, primarily because of its primitiveness and narrow functional. Therefore, experienced motorists recommend immediately replacing it on something more modern.

Stages of the assembly process

At the moment, Chevrolet Lanos assembly technology includes four stages. Production begins with the fact that with the help of press equipment, parts and components for the future Sherlet Lanos are manufactured. After that, the elements of the body enter the welding shop, where specialists using advanced Japanese and German techniques are welded together. Then, the finished body is sent to the workshop of tightness.

At the third stage, when the body is already equipped with a hood and doors, it is sent to painting. In a special workshop, 9 robots are installed, which are capable of processing 32 bodies per hour.

The last stage includes all completing assembly processes, including the installation of power units and transmission. Usually, the duration of the 4th stage of production does not exceed 2 minutes.

Features assembly

At Zaporozhye, Chevrolet Lanos factory is equipped with three economy power units. These are the motors with a volume of 1.3 l, 1.4 liters and 1.5 liters, respectively. All of them successfully cooperate with the new transmission, the development of Ukrainian engineers.

Before the beginning of the assembly of Chevrolet Lanos, the shop of the Zaporizhzhya enterprise was significantly upgraded. American investors have highlighted a large amount of money on updating plant equipment.

Output

Chevrolet Lanos cars are supplied to the domestic market directly from the Zaporozhye plant "ZAZ". This model is in great demand in Russia, primarily due to low cost. However, as evidenced by the reviews of the owners, Chevrolet Lanos of the Ukrainian assembly has a large number of shortcomings, the reason for the appearance of which lies with the financial policy of the company, which makes the savings rate. And while she succeeds very well.

"Lanos" is one of the most popular models of the end of the past and the beginning of this century. The car was produced under the Korean brand Daewoo, under the Ukrainian ZAZ, there was Ukrainian assembly, Korean, Polish. At the peak of its popularity in 2005, this inexpensive sedan began to collect in Ukraine for Zaz, especially for the Russian market under the well-known Chevrolet brand. For 5 years, according to signed contracts, almost 172 thousand Chevrolet Lanos cars of the Ukrainian assembly were delivered to Russia. In 2009, these sedans were supplied under the Chance brand.

Exterior of Chevrolet Lanos

Modern design of the car Chevrolet Lanos

Chevrolet Lanos is a passenger car developed in Korea by Daewoo, but was gathered in Ukraine under the control of the American Corporation Chevrolet. Lanos is different colors: white, green, yellow, red, golden, blue, blue, but the most popular is gray and black. The car is very easily recognizable by a large three-seen radiator grille in front and large (in comparison with the size of the car) oval headlight. The bottom of the bumper is located fog lights, or simply plugs in color, if the minimum equipment was selected. Between fogs there is a rectangular narrow air intake consisting of 4 sections.

When looking from the stern, Lanos is distinguished by a disproportionately long hood in relation to its short luggage compartment. His doors are almost the same size, and Oval rearview mirrors are installed on the sides.

The flat roof goes into a miniature, almost like Hatchback, the fifth door. It hides the luggage space with a volume of 322 liters, but with decomposed seats, it increases to 958 liters and allows you to transport more overall things. Essential optics, both anterior and rear car not stand out. It is equipped with standard lamps with conventional lamps. Unlike front optics, the rear lights look more angular and vertical on the car body, representing a completely different style.

Chevrolet Lanos is a medium-sized car. Its length, width and height are 4237, 1678 and 1432 mm, respectively. The ground clearance is small - 110 mm, and the wheels are under the entire car - the R13 diameter, although the plant is provided by the installation of wheels and R14, and some owners manage to install wheels and 15-inch and even 16-inch diameter.

Road clearance is the distance from the support surface on which the car is worth it to its lower part. Also bears the name "clearance".

Salon Chevrolet Lanos

Lanos salon is characterized by rounded shapes repeating body contours

Inside this car, everything is very simple: a winding wave-like torpedo from standard plastic, a bright standard instrument panel opposite a comfortable steering wheel, a central console with a minimum set of levers and buttons, and a regular radio tape recorder, or just a box under it, if it is a very simple version. Perhaps only audio preparation from standard materials will be made.

Lanos salon is characterized by rounded shapes that repeat the body contours. The prevailing upholstery of door cards and seats is a cloth, although at least half of the area of \u200b\u200beach door is made of plastic. The front seats can be adjusted by mechanical adjustment - forward, back and tilt the back.

Technical characteristics of the car

Chevrolet Lanos is equipped with only one 1.5-liter gasoline engine

The choice of engines in this model is absolutely absent, since Chevrolet Lanos is equipped with only one 1.5-liter gasoline engine, which works in conjunction with a 5-speed manual gearbox, which also does not provide other options. This gasoline power unit develops the power of 86 horsepower and torque in 130 nm, and at the same time consumes 10.4 liters of fuel in urban mode and 5.2 liters per city on the highway.

The main technical characteristics of the "folk car" can be depicted as a table.

CHEVROLET LANOS SPECIFICATION TABLE

Brakes on the car installed disc ventilated front and drums on the back pair of wheels. This is quite enough to force Lanos to quickly stop even at very high speed.

Pendant on Chevrolet Lanos is a rigid, but quite comfortable, especially in comparison with the majority of VAZ models, which are in the same way as Lanos, price category. In front, it has amortized racks with triangular transverse levers and transverse stability stabilizer, and the pendant is based on transverse levers.

The transverse stability stabilizer is a special device that is built into the car suspension serves to reduce the number and level of side rolls when turning.

Behind the wheel of Chevrolet Lanos

Many have tried themselves in managing the Chevrolet Lanos car or at least any modification. The car quickly responds to the turn of the ignition key and gains the speed, accelerating not so slowly, as for the budget basement - in 12.5 seconds its speed can reach 100 km / h. However, when another 2-3 passengers sit in the car other than the driver, then its dynamics disappear somewhere, and gaining the speed of Lanos becomes more and more difficult. Motor at the same time heard in the cabin is quite clearly. Again, we will make a discount on its belonging to a specific class of cars, and, as a result, the lack of necessary noise insulation. Yes, he is created primarily as a workhorse and as an inexpensive family car.

Crop the Chevrolet Lanos is very easy, the steering wheel is conveniently lying in the hands and allows without a special tension to enter steep turns. The car easily conquers the speed above 150 km per hour, but then he begins to swim slightly on the road (partly due to the wine tires), and its gasoline engine is simply deafening. At a speed of 120 km / h, there are no deviations in his behavior: the car confidently holds the road.

Despite the use of inexpensive rash plastic in the cabin, inside the abundance of creaks and crickets, although they are present. Perhaps, due to the practically absent noise insulation, they are not heard.

Chevrolet Lanos passes irregularities on the road more gently, efficiently and unnoticed than its competitors on price niche - Daewoo Matiz, Vaz 2110 and Kalina.
