Car Comparison Sedan Chevrolet Aveo T300 and Sedan Volkswagen Polo V. VW Polo and Chevrolet Aveo: Standby Mode (Video) Tested Cars

13.07.2020

The ruling tandem in the class of budget sedans-foreign cars is Renault Logan and Hyundai Solaris. For the first, 81909 people voted, and for the second - 76625, and with its blood - that is, without chasing, roundabouts and other travelers. And what are the forces of "opposition"? To "system" can be attributed sedan Volkswagen. Polo (47491 Voice) and scored 33102 votes Kia Rio.. Avot Newbie Chevrolet Aveo So far from "non-system": its mass production in Nizhny Novgorod will begin at the end of the year (the estimated volume is 35 thousand cars per year), and we got Aveo brought from Korea and sent to Vkaliningrad. Chevrolet Aveo is available without queue. However, the attack demand and other budget sedans were shown: dealers can even find Kaluga Polo! Do you give free and honest elections? And what about the budget? If the prerequisite is the presence of air conditioning, electropam and audio system, then Chevrolet will cost 507 thousand rubles, Volkswagen - 523 thousand, and KIA - 530 thousand. For whom we vote?

All three cars do not spoil the look of the city - and even decorate the courtyard on his outskirts. More interesting others, perhaps, Aveo - and not only because the newcomer. Four separate round headlights - it's boldly and so close to the heart of the Russian motorist with the experience, stood in perennial queues first behind the VAZ "Treshka", then behind the "six" ... But it will not be very good to maintain such beauty clean, cleaning the headlights from Dirt and fallen insects?

On the back "Wasting" Armchair Aveo enshrined the armrest for lovers of the Valya Landing

As for the interior of Aveo, we have two news. Let's start with good: Fresh youth design gets along with successful ergonomics. And as intrigue, the audiosis-topics of turquoise glow, barely insert the key to the ignition castle, barely insert the key. And although our experts scold the "motorcycle" instrument panel, I personally liked it, and I immediately suiced. It's great that, as in POLO, the steering wheel can be adjusted not only in height, but also by departure, and the side rollers on the back of the seat hug you and not in a budget. Add up the adjustment of the lumbar backrest and the "elevator" of the chair - and here you are an ideal. The symmetrical front panel goes far to the hood, generating the feeling that you are in the car class above. And also - the mass of compartments for the smallers: besides the shelves at the central console and the capacious "basement", there are two glove boxes. The one at the top is smaller, but the USB connector was attached to it. It's nice, but far away: if you connect the smartphone to the audio system, the cord pulls back across the half.

But the bad news: the feeling of the budget car still does not leave. Gulko clap the doors, the gaps between the panels are uneven, and the smell of hard plastic barely heated by the timid Martam Sun makes it frown.

Another thing is Volkswagen Polo ... oh, and the doors are rumbled even stronger, and tough materials, to put it mildly, are far from exquisite. Solid design? Against the background of the Asian's withdrawal of Solaris - yes, Volkswagen that a discreet aristocrat, but the comparison with Rio is no longer in favor of POLO. Kia's low and rigid seat is not worse than Volkswagenovsky - sorry, a comfortable fit will not pick up not all: the steering wheel does not change.


Chevrolet Aveo "Tachd Wheel" Tachometer and Digital Speedometer Chevrolet are original, but read no worse than classic Rio and Polo scales. It is strange that in Aveo, the route computer is installed only on the most expensive version of LTZ - in the opponents, it is already in the basic configuration


Kia Rio "Takel Wheel" Tachometer and Digital Speedometer Chevrolet are original, but read no worse than classic Rio and Polo scales. It is strange that in Aveo, the route computer is installed only on the most expensive version of LTZ - in the opponents, it is already in the basic configuration

Youth - does it mean close? If the Chevrolet is really a youth, then such a statement is erroneous: on the back, the seat is spacious, and a huge trunk pays a threat that households will make you the hostage of endless gardening. But if the road to the cottage is divided, then you can sleep, referring to the clearance of 115 mm. I am not yet a dacket, he also does not suit: how to get to a picnic to the reservoir?

Volkswagen is more versatile - the back is even more freedom, and the road clearance is 25 mm more. But be careful in a ride - the lower supports of the springs rear suspension Located only 120 mm from the ground. This is not a Renault Logan. Yes, and Kia Rio is also not logan: it has a solid lumen, almost 160 mm, but behind you closely, and the trunk is modest than all.


Chevrolet does not have neither mudguards nor transparent stickers protecting the bottom of the body from the "sandblasting" - the thresholds protect only the narrow strip of "anti-growing" coating

Youth - means active? Again by Chevrolet. New platform, hard body, and sensations - as from the car of the previous generation, on which our expert Yaroslav Chicken drove 75 thousand kilometers. He would vividly remembered the suspension settings when it shakes on typical urban seams, and she points out on the waves. All the same!

It does not matter Chevrolet and on broken roads, demanding a friendly and reduction of the pace due to the danger of breakdown. At the smooth asphalt Aveo, though it does not give happiness from management, but at least it does not cause negative emotions. The low effort on the steering wheel is quite informative, and the sensitivity is recovered and not great. Sorry early spring good roads We have little left - the snow seems to come together with asphalt.


Fashionable appearance is the only thing that highlights Chevrolet Aveo from the mass of budget sedans: the rolling properties are medium. Let's see what reliability will be

In the power unit Aveo Zador more. Familiar cars Opel Engine 1.6 (115 hp) Ecotec series paired with a "short" five-speed mechanical transmission accelerates the heaviest car in the trio (1214 kg) to 100 km / h in 11.4 s. In the city of such a dynamics, it is enough - you can even touch from the second transfer, and in the fourth one to be able to accelerate from 40 km / h. It is also nice because there is little joy in changing gear - the lever goes too differently. And from the speed of 100 km / h declares the reverse side of the "short" transmission: in the cabin dominates the noise of the motor, promoted on the fifth gear to 3000 rpm. Noise from tires comes to high volume. And we traveled on Aveo both on the Bridgestone Blizzak WS60's winter-sleeved tires and on the standard Summer Tires Hankook Optimo K415: the timbre is different, and the volume is one.

As a result, it seems, you can congratulate the designers of Chevrolet with a victory over the engineers: there is a bright appearance, and there is no riding character. It is possible that the tiny road clearance is another element of this victory.

Rio turned out to be surprisingly quiet. Even 120 km / h can communicate with fellow travelers without increasing the voices. Whereas from Polo, I want to get out already 90 km / h - he is even no more Aveo! Tires are buzzing, the wind will fight, and the motor as if installed right in the cabin, somewhere behind the lid of the glove box. Therefore, we will not regret the absence of a USB connector in the POLO: High speed music is still difficult to listen.

On the layout and convenience of controlling the blocks of audio and climatic systems, all cars are close. Use functions easily. Is that KIA is more successful to multimedia connectors - at the base of the central console. In Aveo, a USB slot is hidden in the upper glove box, and POLO audio inputs are not at all

But Volkswagen sets the standards of controllability in the classroom: lead it and easily, and pleasantly, regardless of the quality and "twist" of roads. Is there any studded tires of Nokian Hakkapeliitta 5 bores no and without that low effort on the steering wheel in the okoloneal zone.


Kia Rio has a powerful motor and good noise insulation, but he has the most modest cargo-passenger qualities

But the same standards correspond to Rio! The steering wheel is informative, the sensitivity is higher, it would still be a ram from shocks on irregularities. Remember the powerful 123-strong motor that accelerates Rio up to 100 km / h for 10.5 s, and here you have the most driven budget sedan! True, due to quite "long" gears (you can dial 95 km / h on the second, and on the third - 130 km / h) Rio did not show an outstanding elasticity - it is better to choose a step downward stage to a stressed maneuver.


The most presentable in the budget is the Kia Rio salon. With normal door handles, unlike solaris. Pay attention to the capacious niches on both sides of the central tunnel. Good luck driver's seat, as in other cars, lack the adjustment of the lumbar backpage

Polo is slower (the speed he picks up in an Aveo), and the gas pedal during the beginning of the progress makes it difficult to move in traffic jams and resembles a carburetor with a faulty accelerating pump. And the smoothness of the POLO move was the unexpected discovery of this test, which had a beneficial effect of all the same studded tires. Volkswagen generally does not notice the "little things", which then also stumbles hard kia. In addition, Rio is sharply slipping short waves, although, in our opinion, such a response is still more pleasant than the peculiar stage.


Chevrolet Aveo CHEVROLET gear shift mechanism is thinned and inaccurate. In KIA, instead of the first transfer, you can stick the third - the transverse course of the lever is small. To the selectivity of the Polo mechanism do not adhere

That's what we liked in Rio most of all, and unconditionally, it is the brakes. Despite the fact that since the summer of last year, POLO sedans are equipped with a new firmware of the anti-lock system (the problem was revealed by us another year and a half ago - when combining a deployment maneuver with a braking, the deceleration efficiency drops to an unacceptable low level), there was no recognizable campaign, and there was no car with old software. Branded "Razoring" we survived, as the first time, with a rapid heartbeat. There is an ABS and AVEO: it is enough to get when braking on the joint or irregularity - and the slowdown of practical-ki is coming down. Not everyone has enough self-causing to release and press the brake pedal again, thus dropping the "glitch" of the anti-lock system.


Chevrolet Aveo Threesome on the rear seats of all cars will be closely in the shoulders, and in Polo, moreover, the central tunnel is very developed, the arms of the middle passenger. But together more convenient and spacious in Polo - wide armrests on the doors, successful landing geometry. But the high threshold makes it difficult to enter-out, and from the amenities - only pockets in the doorway. In Chevrolet less space for knees, but resting in the backrest of the front seats will be only people growing above 180 cm. It is interesting that the rear window Aveo comes far to the roof, skipping more light into the cabin. Armrests here are kuts, and small things can be folded into a lonely pocket on the back of the right front seat. By the number of convenient options KIA, the leader only has the backlight of the back of the cabin, pockets and in the doorway, and in the seats, but the places here are least. And the tall people are forced not only to press legs, but also take care of the head - the ceiling is low

As a result, Chevrolet - third place. Maybe we did not see, did not catch the highlight? It happens. But if it is still there, then we have to do with it: it is this aveo that we bought for accelerated resource tests, where each of 30 thousand "hard" kilometers is equal to the three kilometers of normal operation. By the way, already on the new car grumbling the primary shaft of the gearbox, but the box itself in the oil subteps.

Our resource POLO test tests are already behind, and recordly low costs for repairs and spare parts have become a result: actually Volkswagen demanded only regulatory services. But in today's comparative test he is the second. Supported noise insulation and insulating ABS configuration.

Won Rio. Fast, quiet, although not disposing to cargo-passenger transportation. And everything would be fine, but his technological twin Hyundai Solaris in the course of the resource marathon authored demanded on the repair twice as much money than Polo. But the regulatory is even more expensive for Kia than for Hyundai. So, if you take into account not only expert assessments, but also the reliability and cost of ownership, the best choice is still Polo.

And Chevrolet Aveo? When this release, the autores will see the light, Aveo will take place on the roads of the autopoly burning the first thousand "resource" kilometers. Suddenly this sedanchik will be even more reliable than Polo? Then - straight into the "system" opposition, and there ... what the hell is not joking! We will keep you in the know!

Gloomy German ... interior. Boring, but the landing is comfortable, the habit requires only a long clutch pedal.

Adjusting the height of the Polo height, like KIA, is in all configurations


The partner, and at the same time, the rival Aveo in the resource marathon will be Lada Grant in the configuration of the norm, which we bought for 258 thousand rubles. But the twofold difference in price (Chevrolet costs 515 thousand) in the case of resource tests does not mean predetermined outcome. Remember how I successfully passed the Marathon Lada Priora. On the results of the first of 30 thousand kilometers of the marathon, we will tell in one of the nearest rooms.


Spacious salon, high reliability - Volkswagen excellent family man. However, a cool chassis appeals to the driver's values


Chevrolet Aveo Only at Chevrolet The trunk can be opened using the button on the lid, the rest of the car you need to either insert the key to the larva, or pull the lever in the cabin. Alas, Aveo was the only one who has no handle to close the lid of the trunk, not staining hands. All car trunks are spacious, but the KIA compartment spoils the protruding arc of the body amplifier, because of it and the opening in the salon with a folded rear seats it comes out the most modest, and the loading height of Rio is greater than that of the others.

Safety

The most modest basic set of security tools offers Kaluga Volkswagen Polo: Frontal airbags, front belts, rear headrests and ISOFIX fastenings, and for ABS will have to pay 9090 rubles. Aveo and Rio are equipped with an ABS already in the "base", and in addition they have pretensioners of the front belts, but the simplest Aveo is deprived of the rear head restraints (they are only in LT and LTZ). All three sedans can be forced to equip the side custodies for the front sediments, but the security curtains are offered only for Aveo and Rio. And the stabilization system is only the top version of Rio and Polo.


Front Crash Test Sedan Volkswagen Polo We spent a year and a half ago: The car scored 14.3 points out of 16 possible - this is the maximum four stars in the Arcap rating. Only the edges of both rides and drivers of the driver are subject to a small risk, in addition, one penalty score is removed for the protection of the legs due to the metal structures of the steering column, close to the trauma-safe casing. And in Europe experts Euro NCAP. Conducted crash tests Hatchback Volkswagen Polo. The five-year five stars earned, and the score for the front crash test was only above (14.8) than our sedan. Side shocks Hatchback with security curtains stood perfectly. Juvenile passengers in Bobsy G1 and G0 Plus chairs are protected well (86%), and pedestrian careless experts were estimated at 41%.


On the level of passive security KIA Rio, you can judge the crash test of the related sedan Hyundai Solaris, which was worse than the Polo sedan and earned only two Arcap stars. Evaluation for the frontal crash test - 8.5 points out of 16: load on the chest of mannequins of the Great, and the driver's legs threaten the mechanism for fixing the steering column and the clutch pedal is thickened back and up. For comparison: Kia Rio hatchback for the European market with other body panels and six airbags earned five stars according to the EURO NCAP technique, adequately withstand all the crash tests. The safety of children's passenger in Britax Römer Duo Plus chairs and Baby Safe experts were estimated at 84%, and the "pedestrian rating" is even higher than POLO, 46%.

The new Chevrolet Aveo last year passed safety tests according to the EURO NCAP method - hatchback for the European market with six airbags stood all the crash tests without comments and earned the maximum five stars. The kids in Britax Römer Duo chairs and Baby Safe are protected even better than in Polo and Rio (87%), and the aggressive front end turned out to be "friendlier" to pedestrians than the competitors, although too rigid front edge of the hood did not allow to earn more than 54%. But in Russia, Aveo will receive only four stars of Euro NCAP: the stabilization system for the Russian market is not offered even for extra charge.

What how much?

Sedan Volkswagen Polo (1.6 liters, 105 hp) can be bought for 429100 rubles, and in the basic configuration Trendline already has two airbags, electric windows, folding entirely rear seat, a route computer, a central lock and an adjustment of the steering wheel in height and departure. COMFORTLINE equipment is much more attractive - with air conditioning, ABS, electric drive and heated mirrors, heated front seats, separate rear seat and painting "Metallic", and our sedan for 527520 rubles, in addition, had a CD receiver and leather braid steering wheel. The six-speed "automatic" for POLO will cost 45900 rubles. The times of huge queues for the Kaluga sedan passed - the cars are in free sale and in the nearest supplies, but if there was no appropriate among them, they will have to make an order and wait from three to five months.

Warranty - two years without mileage limit.

Chevrolet Aveo (1.6 L, 115 hp) formally costs from 444 thousand rubles, but machines in the basic configuration LS with two airbags, ABS, front power windows, a CD player, a central lock and a rigidly attached rear seat will go to Dealers are only autumn. In the meantime, you can buy a sedan performed by lt for 487 thousand rubles - it has air conditioning, rear headrests, Bluetooth transmitter and folding rear seat back. Our Aveo with a full electric car, heated front seats, adjusting the steering wheel on the flight and the painting "Metallic" costs 515 thousand rubles - 12500 rubles cheaper than the POLO-sedan-sedan test, but no side computer, nor adjusting seats in height in Chevrolet. But the surcharge for the six-speed "automatic" is only 33 thousand rubles. In the free sale of cars while little, but waiting for the ordered sedan will have no more than a month.

The warranty is three years or 100,000 km of run, but during the first two years, the mileage is not limited.

Kia Rio sedan in the Comfort elementary configuration is equipped with an engine 1.4 (107 hp) and costs 469900 rubles, but already in the "base" there are two airbags, ABS, air conditioning, front electric windows, on-board computer, separate rear seat back and seat adjustment Driver in height, although the steering wheel in all equipment is adjusted only in height. The LUXE version with a motor 1.6 (123 hp) has a full electrobacts, a CD receiver, heated front seats and costs 529900 rubles - almost like a polo sedan with a similar equipment. And in our hands I visited Rio performed by Prestige for 569900 rubles - with six airbags, climate control and alloy wheels. For the four-stage "Automatic" for Rio, you need to pay extra 40 thousand rubles. The suitable car can be found in the presence of dealers, and the delivery time to order is from one to three months depending on the configuration.

Warranty - five years or 150000 km run.

Alternative

The choice of sedans at costs up to 600 thousand rubles is very wide: even not counting completely budget cars like Uzbek Nexia and the Ukrainian chance, more than two dozen such models are sold on the Russian market. But some golf class cars fall into this price category only in "empty" basic versions with the weakest engine.

Active promotion of German "folk cars" in the wide Russian masses have long prevented high price tags. Now that the model gamma has been replenished with a truly affordable Volkswagen, the audience joined the dealer salons, accustomed to every ruble. Prices for Sedan POLO begins from 399,000 rubles per version of TrendLine with an engine 1.6 (105 hp) and "mechanics". The machine with the "automatic" will cost at least 512,300 rubles, and this one of the best offers on the market, especially since the "automatic" here is quite modern, 6-speed, with the possibility of manual switching. Chevrolet Aveo Automatic Box is an old, 4-speed, without manual mode. And it is only available in the most expensive version of Ls in a pair with engine 1.4 (101 hp), at a price of 513,880 rubles. At first glance, POLO looks clearly preferable, but again - the queue ... perhaps, Aveo is not much worse?

In the town

In the city environment, Chevrolet really is really little inferior to the freshly baked opponent: despite the fact that the "automatic" here is not the most advanced, Aveo vigorously accelerates and organically fits into the rhythm of the metropolis. It is easier and shorter than POLO, he needs less parking space, but even equipped with an amplifier steering wheel at low speeds may seem tight, especially women. Volkswagen's steering wheel on the parking lots is easier, but the dimensions are worse - the parking radar, apparently, will be at POLO one of the most sought-after options. The accelerating dynamics of the German car many pleasantly surprise, but in the city where the speed is constantly changing and frequent switching, "automatic" works although it is distilled, but somewhat nervously - a consequence of a high degree of adaptability.

Outside the city

On high-speed highways Volkswagen Polo confidently breaks forward: excellent course stability, confident overtaking and energy-intensive suspension make long trips on this car quite comfortable and not too tedious for the driver. Quick riding on Chevrolet Aveo requires much more voltage: at three-digit speeds, the shortage of steps in the gearbox becomes obvious - the overtakes are accompanied under the social advantage of the engine.

Direct Aveo is kept worse than polo, which is not the most informative steering tires.

Passengers are more concerned about shuddering and routing of the body on large irregularities of the roadway and a high noise level. In addition, Aveo is forced to stop for refueling: its tank accommodates 10 liters of gasoline less than POLO.

Controllability

Volkswagen brand cars have always been distinguished by the highest level of chassis finishing, and Sedan POLO demonstrates the breed without any discounts on budget. The exemplary informativeness of the steering is combined with an equally exemplary rate resistance, rolls are minimal - to maintain Polo along the winding rustic path is easy and pleasant. The only thing you can reproach it is in the insufficient informativeness of the brake drive, but this will only celebrate those who traveled to the Polo hatchback - to control the slowdown is easier. Aveo brakes in standard modes are quite comfortable and reliable, but with an emergency stop to the brake pedal you have to apply too much effort, and the BRAKE Assist system here, alas, is not suggested even in the form of an option, as well as ESP, then so Polo System Stabilization of manageability is included in the optional package Premium.

In addition to the lack of ESP, the desire to caress on Aveo beat off the feedback deficit on the steering wheel, low high speed stability and significant body rolls in turns frightening when driving with full loading. Volkswagen Polo to the download relates tolee and in general it seems more secure and enjoyable car control.

Ergonomics and Comfort

Compared to the hatchbeck, the design of the three-volume Polo salon carries obvious traces of simplification and cheapening. On the ergonomics of the driver's seat, it almost did not affect it, but from an aesthetic point of view, the sedan lost a lot: plastic is strongly solid, like a tree, other finish materials are simple and sulfur, but it does not creak on the go. The driver's seat has a large range of adjustments, but choose a comfortable fit prevent too convex backrest profile and step adjustment of its tilt. In the rear seat, according to the class standards, it is very spacious: there is a pleasant stock of space in the legs, and there is practically no head over your head. Sitting threesome on the second row is not very pleasant, but you can. The noise level in the cabin is moderate, the sound of the engine prevails in the acoustic palette, but due to a sufficient number of gears in the box, it is not very often not very often.

The Chevrolet Aveo engine also sounds loud, and hear his high-speed drill is more common than in Polo, since gears in the box are not six, and four. Worse in Aveo and anti-gravine protection: on the village along the bottom and wheeled arcs, the business drums are small pebbles.

The Aveo interior is simply decorated, but rather elegant and cheerful. The driver's seat has a more successful than the opponent, a profile, but less developed lateral support that with notable rolls in turns perceived as a significant drawback. In the back seat, tangible closely in the legs than in Polo (the smaller wheelbase is affected), and is just as little space above the head. The third passenger can be planted here only at extreme necessity, since sitting in the edges in this case will have to be satisfied.

Full audio systems of both cars sound quite mediocre, equipped with not the most sensitive radio services, but regularly read MP3. Volkswagen Polo better reproduces low frequencies, but the worse is medium and high, why the sound seems deaf with; Chevrolet Aveo, on the contrary, issues a relatively good top and heat, but weak tongs. Both will cause discontent even from a novice music love, but for listening to the radio will quite fit.

Practicality

Both cars have solid luggage compartments that can accommodate much more than you expect from a compact car. If the cargo is not heavy, but the overall, then polo, and the Aveo allow you to increase the tank of the trunk by folding the rear seats. The difference between the opponents is that Aveo has only a back, opening a narrow and uneven opening, while POLO can be folded and the back, and the pillow, and the opening it turns out more and more even.

Under the floor of both trunks is enough space for a full-sized spare wheel and a small set of tools.

In my opinion...

In front of engineers and designers of the largest automotive concerns Always stood a difficult task: how to make an affordable price, recognizable among competitors, a safe and demanded car for the wide masses of motorists? We will look for an answer to this question in a comparative review of such a loved domestic consumer "available sedans", how the manufacturers themselves are positioned.

Chevrolet Aveo is already available in the third generation. The production of the new model began in 2011. This car is a front-wheel-drive compact sedan class "B", known in the nickname Sonic. Most cars received a modern atmospheric gasoline unit at 1.4 and 1.6 liters, which optionally can work in a bundle with both automatic and mechanical box.

Volkswagen Polo Model is not new, but it is the sedan that is the novelty that was created specifically for the markets of the CIS countries. The front-wheel drive car of the B-class is an extended option of the POLO hatchback platform, but has its own distinctive features. The model was submitted to the public in 2010. OBS options are limited to a gasoline "atmospheric" by 1.6 liters. A selection of automatic or mechanical transmission is available.

Cars presented in the review have 1.6 liter power units in a pair with automatic checkpit.

Appearance

Shevrolet Aveo.

The front of the machine looks very aggressive and unexpectedly fresh for the budget sedan. The main role in this is plays a non-standard for modern car head optics. Round Paired Head Wells We are accustomed to see on Italian alpha-romeo or BMW from the era of the 90s, but not on a modern mass car. A wide hood has distinctly pronounced ribs, which makes it even talking about some kind of "sport" in the appearance of the front. The cornerstone grille puts an impressive point at the overall perception of the Aveo Front.

The onboard part concisely continues the specified note. From the back to the front there is a sloping line of stamping at the bottom of the doors, rapidly pulling the sides of the boc machine. Of particular interest is the back. Looking at the car from behind, bitter disappointment immediately arises. From sports aggression there is no trace! And the point here is not at all in the tiny lid of the trunk, which looks on the body of the car is like short trousers sitting not in size at the Yunz and Bolia. All wines the rear lights that would come to a completely different car. They are wide, slightly resemble a rectangle with beveled lines, are located vertically. The back of the back looks cheap and tolerates full fiasco.

Volkswagen Polo Sedan.

The front part of the sedan is strictly, ascetic and very "in German". There is a significant similarity with the Polo hatchback. Differences only in strokes: a narrow grille with chrome-plated stripes, a strict front bumper with landing niches fog lights. Sharp "logs" in the head optics lines and a major branded logo make the car recognizable, steadily the next general design concept of VAG. It turned out to be a kind of "intellectual", which was going to participate in the street fight for the first time.

The profile looks a bit stretched, but this nuance is well blunting a "step" stamping at the bottom of the doors and a strict line above the door handles, which stretches from the edge of the rear headlights to the very edge of the front lights. Round gas tank hatcher is able to make its special charm if we consider the one to the side where it is located. The back of any design sizes, unlike Aveo, did not receive. The list of potential state employees for personal acquisition Polo confidently takes its place in the first 5-ke of the main bidders. View clinging simple taillights and slightly narrowed, taut and strict trunk lid. Outwear lines of the bumper successfully complement the overall picture.

If we consider cars exclusively in front and on the side, then Chevrolet Aveo looks much more profitable Volkswagen Polo Sedan. He is more modern, brave and youth. Also, the car will appeal and middle-aged representatives. Surprise will be expected only when you think to spend a delighted look by a pretty little car with a bright golden butterfly. Be prepared at least to surprise, and if you are more frank, then to complete disappointment from external view Car feed. Polo sedan no surprises is preparing, checked! Go around and look at it at least a hundred times from any angle, but the strict and concise designer idea dominates everywhere, producing the impression of reliability, goodness and ... boredom! The usual Sedan from Volkswagen, only a little smaller.

The winner is the model Aveo. Anyway, but the main goal of Chevrolet designers have achieved! The car is of interest and attracts increased attention, which is impossible to say about the polo model.

Salon

Shevrolet Aveo.

Surprises expect sedictions and in the car's cabin, this time they are pleasant. Good plastic although it is the main finish material for most elements indoor spaceBut everything is collected qualitatively, without cracks, coarse cuts or gaps. The main color was black, which was diluted with inserts and finishing of the functional elements chrome.

The most interesting in the interior of the sedan was the dashboard. It is made in a "motorcycle" style, representing a combination of an analog tachometer under a small visor, as well as a large digital display that displays large speed digits and another useful information. In some drivers, this decision may require addiction, but after 5 minutes behind the wheel of the car everything becomes usual. The speedometer is informative, readings are read just excellent. Externally, the dashboard of the rectangular shape, the figures are clear, the fence is not feared. It turned out stylish, non-standard, innovative. In a word, the surprise was a success, being very successful.

Seats in the sedan are made of high-quality fabric, pleasant to touching. The profile has been implemented standard for the machine of such a price category: mediocre side support, the lumbar preset is poorly developed. Stiffness in the middle level, nothing unexpected. Seat adjustment is available in height, and the reserve of the backrest and pillows in the planes should be enough for the driver of any complex. The pillow may seem short for tall drivers.

Now a few words about the design of the torpedo and the center console. An important element on the torpedo was such things like blowing deflectors. These round "ventilation" holes on the sides look very stylish and expensive. Designers tried better nowhere, the front of the cabin looks fashionable and modern. In the center of the usual elements of the blowing of a rectangular shape.

The next position in the interior that attracts attention becomes the central console itself. It protrudes over a common plane, got a functional shelf and side "ears", which are comfortable open niches for storing small things. Stress this beauty Silver lines in the upper part, which are contours. Next, a pretty multimedia device with a longitudinal medium-sized tight screen and two stylish regulators at extreme points are followed. Push-button elements are removed into a separate area slightly lower. It looks beautiful, you will not say anything.

The climate control unit is under the protrusion of the center console and painted in gray. At the top there is an alarm button, and the bottom serves as a place for three major climate system regulators. They are round, have chrome rims.

Steering wheel has a large radius. Against the background of the dashboard seems even more than it really is. It is convenient to hold on to the rim, although it may have a feeling that it is a bit thin. The steering wheel is three-spoke, multifunctional. It has the ability to adjust the departure and height.

The central tunnel is low, separates the driver and passenger zone on the front row, but it is not very high to call it. The lever of the PPC selector has an ergonomic drop-shaped form. Next follows the handle of the parking brake, which is located classically. The central armrest can be called "decorative", as it is narrow and does not promise high comfort in a long trip.

The interior of Aveo is overflowed by a large number of functional niches, drawers and compartments. Ergonomics of most solutions are excellent, there is no complaints about the salon functionality. Illumination of the elements of the dashboard and control is made using blue, white and yellow colors.

On the back row everything is much easier, ordinary sofa and boring dark plastic. There is a strong contrast comparatively with front places.

Volkswagen Polo.

Strict German "Classic" climbed into all corners of the internal space of the compact sedan. The high-quality texture of plastic material, an excellent fit of the Torpedo elements immediately appear. The minimum of chromium and the black maximum became the main colors of the polo salon.

Seats are made of good quality fabric, pleasant tactular. Profile is not hard, everything is balanced for a typical urban car. Side support is, but expressed at the average level. The anatomical structure of the chairs no comments caused, sit comfortably and sufficiently comfortable for the back and bottom. The adjustments are enough, you can change the height of the pillow, actively adjust the tilt of the back, etc.

The central panel received cute rectangular blowing deflectors with soft outer corners. Chromium rims dilute ascetic black torpedo color.

The console itself is designed to simultaneously perform, but visually not stand out over a common plane. The upper part has a pair of deflectors, then there is a longitudinal range of function keys with the central button "Avoid". The audio system has received a fairly wide monochrome display and two cute padlometers on the sides that have chrome finish.

The climate system has a similar design, only the screen is significantly less. It is worth recognizing that the climate system readings are not always comfortable from the driver's seat. It may sound a little picky, but it seemed subjectively.

Svet central tunnel is broken by a large niche, inside of which the cigarette lighter light is located. Next, the PPC lever itself is already. It is not very high, got a very comfortable handle and thin chrome-plated belt. The parking brake lever takes its usual place for most drivers.

The central armrest is proud to snap over the "handler", not particularly interfering with fully using this item. The armrest itself is wide, with a good support for convenience in the long trip. Under the handle of the parking brake, there is a slight recess for small items, which seems to be a convenient solution. No need to look for a place in the cabin for girlish trifles.

The steering wheel has an excellent diameter. The Baranka itself is lightweight, three-spin, multifunctional, covered with excellent material. You can observe a light decoration of chromium, which very organically fits into the overall concept of interior decoration.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the armrests on the door cards. Their widths are quite enough in order to not only rely on, but also to completely put the left hand at the moments of downtime. The form of the armrest itself also directly contributes to this function.

The dashboard is classic, without any excess. Tachometer and speedometer scales, and between them a route computer. This element has a small diagonal, but considering its convenient location, reading information occurs without any problems. The main colors for illumination of elements are white and red.

The assessment of the interior should be given with one substantial amendment. Everything will depend on the age of the appraiser, his aspirations and personal preferences. Adherents of the classics will be quite a fairly functional and modest design in Volkswagen Polo. There is nothing superfluous, everything is on your legitimate and painfully familiar places. Those who seek novelty and modernism, the Aveo Salon is definitely glanced. It has style, individuality and charm, which is superbly combined with functionality and ergonomics. Chevrolet designers surprised with their brave solutions again, and everything looks solely in the interior from a positive side. The Chevrolet Aveo model bribes its modern view and style, becoming the winner at this stage of the comparison of two sedans.

Challenges

Chevrolet Aveo got a front McPherson with a transverse stability stabilizer. The back is semi-dependent, spring suspension.

The pull is the usual for the urban sedan, the motor comes to life only on average revolutions. This nature entails a slightly increased fuel consumption when trying to set and maintain a vigorous tempo. Noise insulation average, the motor is well audible in the cabin with an increase in revolutions, and the wheel arches remind of changing the quality of the asphalt coating at speed.

Settings of the chassis allow you to comfortably move in small irregularities and minor pits. The suspension is afraid of chosel larger, I willingly make your way with a deaf bubbly blow.

The steering wheel is light and clear, with a well-defined position "Zero". The direct machine willingly hold a given trajectory. It should be borne in mind that a small sailboat is characteristic of the car. The demolitions of the front and rear axles can begin much earlier than many suggest. So the thresholds of the permitted speeds are not a crime with active maneuvering.

The brakes and electronic systems form a typical tandem for a low-bicycle representative. Front disk mechanisms, and the rear of the drums.

Volkswagen Polo Seddan equipped in front of the usual McPherson with a transverse stability stabilizer. Behind the sedan has a semi-dependent, spring suspension design. The pickup is quite smooth in the whole range of revolutions. Noise insulation of the engine compartment at a sufficient level, but the wheel arches are slightly inferior in the quality of the interior protection from external noise.

Hod energy-intensive, but it is not necessary to get involved. The suspension is relatively easy to makes its way on sharp sections of the asphalt, which is reflected by the muted knock.

Steering settings make it easy and comfortable to control the machine, which willingly obey the steering wheel and keeps the trajectory of movement on straight segments. The sedan demonstrates good resistance to axial demolitions at a reasonable speed.

Front brakes disc, ventilated. Rear mechanisms of drum type. The car slows down well, and electronic assistants Competently connected to work if necessary.

Challenges Volkswagen Polo allow it to get ahead at this stage of the comparison of Chevrolet Aveo. The German sedan was better balanced and more honest in managing. An important role in such an assessment was played by suspension and noise insulation. These qualities allowed the polo to become a more profitable car relatively to Chevrolet Aveo, which, although slightly, but still lagging behind a competitor on the estimated characteristics and the general impressions of the ride.

Capacity

Chevrolet Aveo (Sonic) shows a good room in its class. Front is spacious enough, especially in height. The stock in the width is not entirely absent, but a small pressure is sensible, inherent in the class of the car.

The rear row of seats produces similar impressions, but three on the rear sofa can still be fitted with controversial and relative comfort. Plus is all the same stock over your head. But the stock for the legs is minimal, and more honest, then it is practically no.

The trunk has good performance indicators that are infringed with a narrow loading opening. This feature will not allow the overall cargo.

Volkswagen Polo Sedan looks spacious in width. So there is really. Places in the shoulders in the front row is enough, but there may be little stock over your head.

A similar picture is observed in the back row. With a hint of comfort, you can place three saddles in the rear sofa. It is worth mentioning that the wheelbase provides a completely acceptable margin in the area of \u200b\u200bthe rear passengers. A little controversial remains only free space above the head.

The trunk is not the biggest in the class, but a fairly wide opening for downloads slightly compensates for this disadvantage. The second plus can be considered the possibility of laying the back of the seat on the back row with a slight shelf.

Linders at this stage comparing the car from Volkswagen, the capacity of the cabin from which it turned out to be a little better relatively with a competitor. Polo offers more free places for the rear passengers, more space in width, best relatively with Aveo Trunk on ergonomics and facilities. The only advantage of Chevrolet can be considered height in the cabin and larger trunk litter, but it does not allow him to become the winner in the overall standings at the capacity.

Economy

A slight margin on the issue of fuel efficiency receives the Volkswagen Polo car, although it is impossible to name an unequivocal victory. Chevrolet Aveo received a little better dynamic and torque characteristic relatively with a competitor.

Ownership reviews

Volkswagen Polo:

Anton (Izhevsk)

Pros: design, quality. The model though small but German. That says everything, the habits of the machine adults.

Vovka (Ufa)

Pros: Through, reliable. On the handle of the engine for the eyes. There are no problems with the challenges, the normal price of spare parts.

REMM (Kazan)

Pros: Salon quality. For this amount, I didn't find anything better, although I chose a long time. I took the 2012 used, I do not regret.

Maxim (Moscow)

Cons: Motor noise. In warm the engine noise, as if the piston knocks. Mileage 37,000. I do not know what to think.

Oleg (Rostov)

Cons: price. Expensive for the foreign car of our assembly. There is no question to the quality yet, but there is a service.

Pasha (Krasnoyarsk)

Cons: equipment. The base poor for such a price is terribly. And a little bit already the price bites, it is not particularly fair for "ORDERS".

Shevrolet Aveo:

Cyril (Rostov)

Pros: exterior. My first machine. I really like outwardly, especially the muzzle. Tightened the rear legs with a deaf film, 16 rollers.

Olka (Tula)

Pros: stylish, affordable. When I chose a car, I fell in love with Aveo. White elegant very. The price for the new is excellent.

Maxxx (Ryazan)

Pros: torpedo, motor, climate. Inside steep design, the tidy is super simple. The engine is cheerfully pulling from 3 thousand. Air conditioning quickly catches the heat of cool air.

Ivan (peaceful)

Cons: suspension. Afraid pit, gentle. Quickly goes on the breakdown, so carefully with the pit, especially if not sure.

Serge (Bryansk)

Cons: Consumption. I do not know your indicators, but I have in winter up to 14 liters of the 95th easily. I go more often to the floor of the gas pedal.

Dima (Kamyshin)

Cons: Noise Isolation. Tires on the highway Summer is heard well, even too. Additional Shumka does not prevent unequivocally.

Results of comparison

Shevrolet Aveo is excellent option For those drivers who appreciate novelty, non-standard designer solutions, ergonomics and style. Also, an important feature is the fact that Shevy really knows how to stand out from the crowd and attract attention.

Volkswagen Polo is a typical conservative, which is not ready to accept fashionable automotive trends. The car remains true to classic ideals, while providing well-thought-out ergonomics and comfort.

At the time of the release of both POLO models seemed more advantageous offer, but at the moment we can observe changes. A comparative review determines AVEO as a winner, as the car is significantly cheaper at the price, offers an excellent balance available options And today has a more modern and relevant design.

Test Drive Chevrolet Aveo and Volkswagen Polo

The queues for Sedan Volkswagen Polo grow day away. For those who do not want to wait, we compared the Germans with a less popular old-timer class of Chevrolet Aveo budget sedans by selecting sedans, equipped with automatic transmissions.

Disputes in the editorial board on which of the sedans prettier, ended, and without starting. Polo Sedan won unconditionally. Stylish optics, minimal gaps between the elements (between the pharmaceutical and closed, the Mysinette breaks without problems). "Locked the bill" except that the rear view, which in Chevrolet seemed a little more solid and balanced, while POLO feed was framed so that he seemed to be like. Aveo also led the decorative caps and not very serious blue-blue color; In black and with cast wheel discs it would be more competitive. Probably.

Inside VW, like outside, one step is more modern, both aesthetically and functionally. Although a hard steering wheel that does not even have a "maximum speed" of the control buttons, slightly spoiled more than a worthy internal appearance. However, the plastic itself, which is pretty hard and torpedo are pretty hard; It logically, the question arose - as far as the car won, use VW plastic as in the usual Polo ... But the organization of the driver's instrument - as in the present Volkswagen. Excellent readable devices, between them - a small screen of the on-board computer. The information displayed on it can be controlled by buttons on a steering wheel lever with janitor.

Aveo is simpler. But everything is also vital also in its places: air conditioning and unpopular in thieves Standard dance-size of radio tape recorders firmly settled on the center console. Good news: there are two buttons on the steering wheel. Bad: These are the buttons of the beep, for which it is not to get if you choose the habit of the steering wheel ...

Rear in Polo is clown. That is, there is enough space in space for knees, but the head concerns the rigid roof finish. Yes, and in the shoulders will be enough only to two. Aveo is a good stitch, although those who are above 180 cm will also be complaining to the height of the roof.

Dynamics

At first glance, the comparison is unfair: under the hood of the POLO sedan was a 1.6-liter 105-strong engine, while Aveo had only an engine 1.4. But the power of Chevrolet, the engine volume of which is less than a glass, differed in only 4 hp Therefore, there is no particular in the dynamics of the difference, only in the character of the set.

The six-speed "automatic" (not bad for the state employee, however?!) Diligently changes the transmissions, offering more terrible to fuel - the salon managers went to us so that the average consumption of the flight committee was about 15 liters per hundred! Japanese AISIN automatic transmission It works perfectly, and in sports mode allows longer to hold the transmission and helps to move back in the city. Aveo is not inferior at the start, winning due to rare speed switching - the "Machine" of Chevrolet only 4 programs, but in the city and this is enough. Despite age, this transmission does not work worse with its duties, especially we liked the imperceptibility of switching up and predictable - down.

Steering is more transparent at Volkswagen: the neutral position is better than, and the slightest deviation causes an increasing striving of the steering wheel back. Chevrolet is slightly less informative, and at low speeds control becomes less sharply, unlike Polo.

The suspension of both sedans is rather tough, but with a worsening of the quality of the road, Aveo looks more comfortable. However, the Polo sedan is rehabilitated on an even asphalt by the fact that it perfectly keeps the straight line, turns albeit with small rolls (almost off-road clearance has affected), but without departing with the intended trajectory.

Road clearance at the Polo sedan for 1.5 cm is larger than that of Aveo (170 versus 155 mm), it can come in handy on a broken country road, say, on the way to the cottage. But discomfort on the streets of the city will not allow even more modest clearance Chevrolet - For example, playing the front wheels close to the generation can both cars.

Volkswagen Polo is worth waiting. Moreover, the Kaluga plant is about to increase the production of cars several times, and the queues will be lit. Most likely. But POLO is your option, but inexpensive (compared to competitors) it is no longer called. If each ruble is important with the money "tens" and is important, Aveo is a classic "budget car": you will not take a stylish and ergonomic salon and body for in German, but only the most necessary, already included in the list of equipment.

How just justified our choice of transmission? VW dealers sell no more than 15% of "automated" polo sedans. Not much more percentage and realized AVEO with automatic transmission. All because for buyers of cars of this class, the main thing is the price, and everything that can affect its increase is immediately discarded. But "automated" cars liked us much more of their mechanical options; They are more comfortable and allow you to easier to endure long urban traffic jams. True, cars for half a million rubles will no longer be at all budget options ...

Test Drive Duel Sedanov Shevrolet Aveo and Volkswagen Polo

Both passengers in our test were equipped with petrol engines The volume of 1.6 liters, and both six-speed "automata" with the possibility of switching manually. Shevrolet Aveo came to us in the middle configuration (out of three), and Volkswagen Polo - in the top (also from three possible). And there and there were added options.

Boxer throws a glove. We see the newcomer of the Russian market - Aveo of the second generation. Relief sidewalls with inclined lines, embossed hood, Purpose Eyebrow over four rubber headlights, put forward by the jaw ... It's about to hit. Compared with the previous Aveo - a clear step forward and design and technique. Takes the challenge of the four-year Volkswagen Polo: A kind of intellectual, who visited fencing lessons and intends to apply the aqueous injections on counterattacks. A little smaller body, minimum decisions, balanced proportions. Just one more Volkswagen. A compliment is or hid on boredom mortal - depends on personal perception. The Kaluga "German" slightly inferior to the opponent in passport power, thrust and acceleration. But the nominal parameters in the duel mean at times no more than the official ratings of athletes.


Boxer and fencer. Different disciplines, various weapons, but the forces are close. Spectators stored beer and nuts? Gong.

Duel begins with short trips in which Chevrolet attacks the comfort line. With uniform motion at urban speeds or smooth acceleration in Polo, the motor sounds a little louder. And it is worth selling a gas pedal - both wake up, but in different ways. Volkswagen's tone as a whole down, and in some modes it publishes a rumbling that resembles something sounds diesel economy. (We will add that the motor from VW with vibration is launched, and Jeemsky is quieter and calmer.) Moderate aveo buzz on the spectrum closer to the classic gasoline unit. However, with good acceleration, he already catchies up his rival on volume, and even exceeds. In general, neither the other motor is not Tihoni, only Volkswagensky still flatters itself, and a separate bass notch hinting at sports ambitions. In vain.

Maybe gray and not the most winning for Aveo, but the live car looks snap and tightened. Fighter.

"Exactly follows the gas pedal" - this is not about our rivals. Both are distinguished by the delay in reactions. On POLO, this is mainly caused by the accelerator setting. Already with a simple release of the brake and, even more so initial presses on the gas pedal, the machine rushes forward relatively rising. On close parking, you have to be careful. Further, as the pedal progresses, you are waiting for more impressive overclocking from the car, and he is the most calm. And only later recovery appears. Such recapfinity in responses is felt and with sharp accelerations with the go. With a calm ride, it does not interfere. In Chevrolet Aveo, the dependence of the crankshaft promotion from moving the pedal is more linear, but it seems slower the automatic transmission. The result is about the same: planning a sharp overtaking, and there and there to press the accelerator is worth in advance.

The appearance of the Polo sedan Someone will call the faceless. Such calm rear lights could appear fifteen years ago and in fifteen years will also look normally. Design out time. And here, by going around the car around, came to the conclusion that it is harmonious. All items here are well combined with each other. Elegance is "Style characterized by noble simplicity, tranquility, relaxation, rigoriness and smoothness." This is in dictionary. Exactly. Pay attention to the low-hanging POLO rear springs supports. With a forced race to the border on the diagonal of this piece of iron it is easy to hook a stone edge. The same and when descent. The support itself is durable, but little pleasant in such a scratch. On the road, even with a moderate format, these elements do not interfere.


For comparison: in the rear third of the bottom of Aveo, there is no such clearly protruding details, there is a supply for passability high. At the same time, in the front of the Chevrolet body, which is belly, that the bumper hangs lower than that of the polo. Therefore, when driving obstacles or simply on a broken line for the wheel of Aveo should be much more careful just about the front. It is easy to hook something with something aerodynamic "skirt" or crankcase protection.

I sit behind the steering wheel of a dark gray car and ask: "Where is your superiority in power?" Plus 10 "horses" - in this weight category - this is the difference that theoretically should manifest itself somewhere on tops. Indeed, on the free streets of Chevrolet, he tries to get into the gap, spoiling the engine more accurately. I replant in a silver sedan and I understand that Volkswagen inflicts a painful injection in response: its "automatic" switches the transfers not only whether it is nonsense than a rival box, but in addition and more accurate. And up and down the chevrolet often pop up small jerks. From the "German" of small jolts in the transmission, too, can also be achieved if you press gas from the heart and force the automatic transmission to dump more steps. In most situations, the change of planetary rows to POLO can only be seen by the oscillations of the tachometer arrow and on the indicator of the transmission included. By the way, on Polo, it shows its number always: that in manual mode, that in the "Automatic". Conveniently.

Chevrolet digital speedometer is unpaid. The brain needs some kind of extra share of a second to realize the number. The classic POLO arrow perceive a quick look where leisure. But you need to admit: the creators of Aveo stretched from the concept of such a display maximum. Figures are large, the brightness is sufficient, the color is pleasant. When the dimensions or headlights are turned on, the brightness of the glow is true, it decreases, but the perception of the numbers still remains good. The speed, as the experience showed, can be determined even in the critical case - when low (at sunset) the sun shines from behind or at an angle exactly in the dashboard. In addition, in the testimony of the Speedometer Aveo introduced a small recapfinity, so that with small oscillations of the rate of annoying flashes, there is no cluffer. Volkswagen has a brightness of the backlight of the instruments is not regulated. This is an example of saving for the Budget Car Tag. But the glow of numbers and arrows is quite optimal for most situations. He wants to give it up only in complete darkness. And on the illuminated night streets - just right.

Maybe polo is able and to pierce the attacker through, turning on the sport mode? I translate the handle to S. Anger in attacks, of course, appears, due to the permutation of the switching plank up turns. But since the character of the motor response to the accelerator remains a little inhibited, this mode does not particularly add sports. "AUTOMA" in the sedan Aveo Sport-regime is generally devoid, but our boxer boldly beats novel, including a banal kikdown. The blow does not reach the goal: on acceleration in the conditionally urban range of 40-90 km / h Volkswagen is still preferable even in normal mode D. It helps the box, spore changing transmission. The greatest harmony of the engines and automatic transmission in both four times the idea should be achieved in manual mode. But I don't want to resort to him especially.

Both cars in nature are far from sports cars, family sedans are. However, in urban conditions, they fully allow competing with the cars of their class and a similar (105-115 hp) of power. Only for this you need not shy to twist the engines, which is immediately reflected in the fuel consumption. For the latter, it turned out later, even more delayed protracted plugs.

Completing the topic of gearboxes and active hostilities, it is worth noting only an important difference in ergonomics. The polo has manual switches performed by short movements of the lever forward (+) and back (-). The creators of Aveo have examined: the shift of the gaplet button on the side of the knob "automaton" corresponds to the shift of the gearbox here. As a result, even with the usual set of speed, the hand has to keep on the handle constantly. After all, removing the palm on the steering wheel and a little later returning her back, you need to spend a second to grope a key and put a thumb on it. With Volkswagen, the interaction occurs intuitively clearer and because faster.

Registration of the Tiptronic Automatic Box switch at POLO (left) and looks expensive, and the box itself is essentially so. The handle on Chevrolet Aveo is a designer sister, but loses in convenience. However, for Aveo, this box is great progress. After all, we have the first six-speed challenged (with manual mode) "Avtomat" on compacts with the Chevrolet sign. This unit differs from its direct predecessors from the automatic transmission line for the GM concern's passengers with reduced dimensions and weight. We note for leaning buyers: the surcharge for the "Avtomat" at Chevrolet Aveo is 33 thousand rubles, and the polo sedan has 46 thousand. In both cases, automatic transmission can be ordered, starting from the second level of configuration.

To the brakes, it is necessary to escalate on both quadses. Again in different ways. The first hundred meters on Volkswagen I am going and can not understand how much you need to put pressure on the pedal. Ahead pedestrian crossing, you need to reset the speed. With a weak movement of the pedal it seems that nothing happens at all. Then, as the stop moves, the force begins to grow, explicitly grows and slow down. And far from the brakes, what is called, grabbing and even sharp than I would like. Accustomed, however, you choose optimum easily. Chevrolet Aveo demonstrates that the textbooks studied before the fight. The relationship between the deceleration intensity and the movement of the pedal here is straightforward. Just why do I still be uncomfortable? The fact is that the course of pedals from the "American" is somewhat more, and the effort on it is relatively small, but in addition, it is hardly on three quarters of the stroke it almost does not grow. There is a feeling of "wool" under the foot. It's a shame: Aveo is able to slowly slow down, but the driver does not give sense of confidence, I want to push the pedal instinctive. Only to the sex itself she is heavy.

The outer mirrors of our duelists suffer from artistic form. Aveo (left) to a greater extent. It is very much bevelled from above. If for a close left mirror it is uncritically, then in the same right I would like to see more atmosphere. In the polo, the outer mirrors are better in form. Here they would also be slightly larger ... In addition, the "German" is not a salon mirror. This breakdown would add even a centimeter. Disadvantages of one, disadvantages of the other: on this tiny item of the program - a draw.


In the fight, opponents have to maneuver. On Aveo there is a hydraulic steering amplifier, on POLO - electric. Some crushing difference in everyday ride is this circumstance, however, does not create. With rebuildings and turns, both sedans are felt as completely obedient. But still, the "German" rulits a twice, his rabble is somewhat more informative, but Sedan Aveo holds a little more distance among himself and the driver. It is strange, because the steering wheel is relatively short and in addition hard. And in general, people often dislike electric power plates and extols hydro. And it can be seen, it's in the settings. Flunks and parrying of shocks in the first round are completed. Rivals make a breather, and the seconds remember that cars with the initial price of up to five hundred buy clearly not for racing on the streets, but rather for the home, for the family. And what family values \u200b\u200bdo we know? Silence in the cabin and smoothness, for example. And also - space inside, ease of interior transformation. Finally, everyone wants to get more car For a smaller amount. Here the results of our rivals are more or less close, but the devil lies in the details.

Union junction, intersection over the intersection. So gradually it became clear what Chevrolet lacks. The Volkswagen steering mechanism significantly changes the degree of amplification depending on the speed. For Aveo, I would like to get a more easy steering wheel on small and medium rates. Its severity for the car with not the highest sports skills - excessive.

Let's go back to the sounds. The driver of the Polo on Malomal Acceleration is forced to listen to a clear r-r-r from the engine, without even pressing the gas pedal on the middle of the stroke. His ward takes off due to the centrot of hoofs: the grot of tires in Chevrolet is clearly higher than that of Volkswagen. So that he quiet, is needed completely smooth, just yesterday laid asphalt. Not that these two models have greatly distinguished the sound permeability of the wheeled arches. We believe that regular tires play a major role in such behavior of the passenger cars. On a car with a yellow cross, the Hankook Optimo tires stand on the sedan with a nameplate VW - Kama Euro.

Taking into account the overall level of sound insulation of the salon acoustic, as well as the vibration stages of the duel wins polo, but not in the same gate. Let's say he has a fan of the heater (even in the first speed). It is clearly noticeable if you do not include music. Therefore, the decisive blow of Volkswagen and here can not be applied. And we still recognize: many features of the inner noise and smoothness of the course - the thing is subjective, and we did not use the noiseomers and accelerometers. Moreover, in both machines, elusive crickets popped up from time to time - some weak rattles in the depths of the front panels (in the air ducts, apparently), and the polo is also in the area of \u200b\u200bthe right-hand sun visor. These sounds disappeared themselves as mysterious as they appeared.

The smoothness of the stroke is partially dependent on the tires. Both duelists can be considered comfortable in this regard. In more or less degree. Their suspensions do not suffer from excessive grip and do not swing too much on the waves. But here there are tangible differences. Due to the higher profile, the regular tires of Aveo barely better swallow the road trifle. But with serious blows from pits or during the passage of coarse seams at the chevrolet bridges, it is more shaken by all body than the Volkswagen Polo. The latter suspension passes from the road to the seats short and rounded stumps, argued, truth, reverse sound accompaniment. Therefore, the Polo sedan makes the impression better prepared for the broken road canvase. But it's surprising that we did not solve: whose setting is formally hard, and whose softer. They are generally similar, that's just the "German" turned out to be higher than the energy consumers. On the uneven asphalt and at the speed of its suspension allows you to feel more confident.

It is likely that, picking up the rubber, the Aveo owner will be able to slightly change the nature of his car for the better.

The next round passes in the statics - we are meticulously exploring the salons. Where is the driver's seat? There is no clear answer. Very subjective criterion. For pondaying potential buyers, let's just say that in Chevrolet the pillow is softer than Volkswagenovskaya. Even in Aveo, a little close-up side support, especially on the back of the seat. But the length of the pillow with rising comrades may not be enough, which will undoubtedly affect the long road. This exchange of cautious attacks is completed by the polo shock: This model has an adjustment of the driver's seat in all versions, even in the basic, but the Aveo has such a useful tuning appears only in the older configuration of three.
And what about? Two extreme passengers in both sedans are convenient if their growth is not much higher than the average (otherwise rivals manifests interesting differences, say about them below). The average passenger is equally inconvenient and there. His legs prevents the central tunnel. Yes, only in polo he is slightly higher. Plays Volkswagen and in the reserve of air over the heads of the rear inhabitants. The difference in the height of the body is affected (Aveo in the withers above 5 cm). In addition, in Chevrolet, the rear window comes far to the roof. Over the back of the rear seams, it is precisely it. This decision gave an increase in a couple of space centimeters. Although without them, Aveo would have won on this item.

Seats for four adults in Aveo sedan enough, albeit without stock. To confess, many b-class cars are closer. In addition, high people from behind here can sit down, without removing what is called, caps. It is nice that the ceiling handles in Chevrolet have a microlift. Alas, against the background of such a luxury, a silent place is seen the only place in the back of the cabin for boosted - pocket in the back of the front right seat. Pockets in the rear doors are not here. And also - the blasting line aggravates the feeling of grip in width. We will say about it separately.


Polo salon wins on a number of important things. For example, with a missing microlift, the ceiling handles are easily completed, but the pockets in the rear doors of Volkswagen, but in addition to the subboatants, will be in a long road where is more valuable. And that's not it.


Another example of the difference between rivals: the door limiter in the polo (left), in addition to the extreme position, has two intermediates. Aveo has an intermediate fixed position only one. On a close parking lot, the difference can be used. And even more interesting - all four electric windows in the polo have the "Auto" mode (complete lowering and full approach with one touch), and the Aveo - there is no four of it.

The stock in the height of the ceiling in Aveo is the same as a blow to the opponent's head. The German sedan comes to himself and meets a pair of rapid attacks. Yes, for the feet of the rear passengers in the Chevrolet salon, the space is not bad, but the polo has a distance to the front seats, adjusted approximately identically, significantly more! Where one high man with a growing 185-187 cm, sowing for himself in Aveo, it will already touch the front back of the knees, in the polo he will also have a noticeable gap with a width of approximately a fist. And then with a fist in a boxing glove. The point is not only in a successful placement or shape of seats: with a slightly smaller total length of POLO surpasses its vessels in the wheelbase. Immediately follows the second painful injection. Although the outdoor body width is more at Chevrolet, in the shoulders of the rear passengers and between the rear door armrests, for some reason more at Volkswagen. By 3-8 cm runs this difference depending on the measurement locations.

Big Plus Chevrolet - Saturation Interesting Strokes in Design Like Outside ...


So inside. The ventillers of ventilation were especially successful. Rubberized, with a relief rim, chrome-plated rings and yellow LEDs in the role of rice. A similar handle, headlights, is also equipped with a diode-risk, which lights up in blue when the outdoor lighting is turned on. Good large steering switches. Extreme ventilation deflectors are ingenious. The rotation of the round knob on them opens and closes two crescent petals, thereby changing the pressure of the air. And behind them is visible a lattice in the form of cells. Stylish. It's pleasant on the sight and to the touch plastic steering wheel Aveo (our polo, to the word, leather, but it is expensive equipment), his small details are well developed. Plastic on the front panel of Shevi let it hard, but interesting to the selection of texture and combination of colors. Snapshots This feeling of the invoice is poorly transmitted.

Volkswagen Polo is a mixture of simplified solutions with unusual chips. He, for example, cannot be opened the hood without opening the driver's door. Someone will seem uncomfortable, but, in my opinion, this is a security tribute. The handle of the hood lock from the "German" is done so that he rests on the end of the door and can not turn. And a gas tank hatch? In both sedans, it is unlocked when the central castle is opened. But Aveo, the lid after that can freely move aside, and the polo needs a slightly pressing so that it lies down. These are little things, of course, but the difference in the volume of gas tanks will not call the difference. The advantage of Polo in nine liters is an extra hundred kilometers along the highway.

A more couple of punching Chevrolet towards the opponent. Aveo radio in this configuration is equipped with a Bluetooth interface (there is no more expensive polo). And the abundance of the stuffing compartments in the front of the cockpit Aveo will envy another minivan: three open boxing on the front console, deepening in the top of the panel, pockets in the door, turnover over the head of the driver, and also two gloves. In the top there is a USB connector. Moreover, by connecting the phone, player or camera to it (say, for charging), the device can be kept in the glove compartment, so taking into your hands, shut the lid. After all, it has a neat slot for wiring (it can be seen on the left). What a striking difference from the habitat of the rear passengers, which looks in Aveo is gloomy and empty.


Salon Polo is visually completed much accommodation than Aveo, it can be said, it is more classic. Plastic rigid, but on the appearance of pleasant. Bardech in polo one. From the inside of its covers, we are equipped with a positive and a coherent, and in the bottom of the glove compartment, under a snatching door, there is a secret "basement" for the service book. What else can the salons of our heroes can stand? Holding a draw - 3: 3. True, Aveo has two fronts are equipped with spring-loaded cloths. But on the hooks for clothing wins polo with a score of 4: 2.

New round Aveo starts opening the trunk lid. In it 502 l volume versus 460 l in polo. A strong argument that will appreciate the family family. However, Volkswagen and here finds than to answer a dangerous lunge. He is wider in the front of the trunk. Santimeters for eight, if watching the middle of the rear lights. In addition, Volkswagen has in the upholstery of a pair of a pair of closing handles (Chevrolet costs at all). And he slams the hold of the polo with a deaf sound, and the Aveo bumps the metal. But the upholstery of the covers in Chevrolet is made of soft material similar to felt, and POLO is screwed hard plastic, and that does not close the cover completely.

The trunk of Chevrolet Aveo is suitable than that of Volkswagen. The form of cargo compartments is similar to them, the loading height is almost the same, and the loops of the lid are prevented approximately equally.


You can open the trunk of the polo or a key or button on the driver's door. Aveo has a button on the lid itself. Inside - somewhat smaller, but neatly decorated space.

An interesting situation is consisted with the transformation of the rear seats. Both rivals have split backs. And Chevrolet here bribes the simplicity and lightningness of their folding. Pulled the lever of the retainer - the back fell forward. The pillow on Aveo is solid and not transformed. In the extreme case, it can only be removed and left in the garage. From the same thing, it is much more, and it seems that here he will not hesitate from the attacker.
Each of the unequal halves of the POLO seat cushion should first lease forward. And in two movements - first raise the front edge, then I pull for the rear. Then you need to stretch relative to the tight fungi of the fixators and throw back the backs, but not to the end. The next stage is alternately removing the head restraints (just drown down it is impossible, so lay the backs behind the pillow). Now you can finally lower the back. UV. And what do we see the result? Chevrolet is not only more comprehensive trunk, but also a slightly wider and high window between the trunk and the interior. This is an uppercot. At the same time, Fighter Aveo rashly leaves an open flank: on the convenience of accommodation, this is noticeably affected by the easiest pillow. Because of it, on the floor of the backbone of the back in Aveo, they form a step with a high height of 13 cm. The POLO step is also there, but noticeably below - about 8 cm.

Strict POLO appearance harmonizes with its essence. Everything is thought out and pedantically verified.


Putting forms and lines in the polo there. But the interior pleases in German careful performance in the trifles and as a whole looks expensive, if you compare it with other state employees.

The inverse transformation is similar to the polo and careless to Aveo. In Chevrolet, the backs are simply snapped when pressed on them, and german car After installing the backs in place, the fungi-locks need to drown down. So, in the ease of conversion to the seats, the US-Korean apparatus wins the brainchild of the company from Wolfsburg. But again Volkswagen Polo does not intend to give up, because the round of practicality is not over. Under the hollow of the trunk, Chevrolet lies so unloved by many Russians a narrow rate. But the "German" is equipped with a normal spare wheel, however, a 14-inch with a higher profile (another example of saving on matches), although the main discs and tires in this configuration are 15 inches.

We mention a non-essential, but indicative difference associated with niche under the spare parts. Both Chevrolet, and Volkswagen in it, in addition to the wheel, jack and the balcony key, there is an empty space for all sorts of cable, such as a cable and electric pump. But in Aveo, in this place - naked metal, and the polo has a prudent polyfoam organizer. It seems, in savings on a penny detail, we often accused Polo? Take your words back.

After the gong, the seconds evaluate the bruises and abrasions received by the duelists. In the meantime, there is a count, let us remember how the Russians were evaluated by the Russian mixture from budgetary nodes and thoughtful trifles. At the end of the first half of 2012, the Polo model ranked the eighth line in the list of the most sought-after car. And from almost 36 thousand cars sold 94% - this is just sedans. 77% of the growth in relation to the past year against the background of a 12 percent total lifting of our automotive market - a speaking indicator. Well, the sedan of Chevrolet Aveo is only going to intervene in the statistics of the leaders, because its sales began in February of this year, and the potentially the most running basic modification will appear at the dealers and at all in October.

In our competition, more attention to the judges was drawn to Chevrolet as a Russian debutant of this year. The younger Volkswagen mostly acted as catching up. But gradually it turned out that the young and blowing Aveo, which had a number of strengths, there is something to learn from the creation of German engineers.

By the way, about the bases. At the POLO four-year-olds produced from June 11, 2012, the default ABS is now in the primary version of Trendline, and now can be ordered air conditioning as an option. Before neither one in the very available sedan Polo could not be. It is worth such a car, complemented by more and a radio tape recorder, is rounded 485 thousand rubles. Starting four Aveo (LS equipment) with added air conditioning ("Music" in this machine is default) pulls at 474 thousand. Almost parity. But here's farther in two senior bursting trim structures. Volkswagen becomes more expensive than its competitor. In part, it is justified by equipping, but thoughts gradually gradually, and do not buy something bigger for such money?

The test polo was much more expensive than test Aveo: the "German" stands climate control instead of air conditioner, there is electrical heating of windshield, 65 percent tinting of the rear braid, bolts-secrets ... But all this did not affect the summary of the meeting.

Spectators, looking, reached out to the exit. It remains to announce the result. Won Volkswagen Polo. Won not one blow, but on points. He endowed in the opponent a lot of little holes. And if all his numerous "slightly", "a little" or "much better" to fold together, then you understand: despite all the budget, the Polo Slixwagen is quite suitable for the Polo sedan - DAS AUTO. Four of the Aveo is an attractive option for its price. Bright appearance, an interesting interior, especially if we talk about his anterior half, a big hold. But Aveo loses in comfort, inferior in the driving properties. The main difference between the dueling is not so much in the nominal characteristics as in the aftertaste. New Aveo, playing, as before, in a budget league, no longer impressions of a frankly cheap car. Volkswagen the same polo - gives the impression of expensive.

Technics


Four-door Polo is built on the POLO Fifth Generation Hatchback Chassis (PQ25 Platform). However, the wheelbase received an increase of 20 mM, and a passport road clearance was increased almost 7 cm. Pendants here are traditional: McPherson front and curly beam from behind. The same nodes can be found in a number of models of the Volkswagen concern. But in the brake system, an important change occurred: the rear disk mechanisms of the FIRDERS were replaced by cheaper and durable drums.


The GAMMA II (GSV) platform applied to the second generation Aveo is designed jointly with GM Korea and Opel companies. It involves the use of traditional suspension types for small class. These are McPherson Racks in front and a semi-dependent design with a torsion beam from behind. Gamma II is a relatively new GM global platform for compact machines, and in different variations it can be found, for example, in the current cars Chevrolet Spark and Opel Mokka., and also - in the Opel Adam city-ready for the release.


The force structure of the body of the polo sedan is very similar to the structure of the original hatchback. This also applies to key parts and materials used. Creating your budget four-ship, Volkswagen engineers did not save on security. The upper spars, the amplifiers of the thresholds, the central tunnel and the Motor shield of the Polo sedan are made of high-strength steel, and the front and middle racks are from ultrahigh-stage steel.


High strength steel is about 60% of the Aveo body structure ( yellow). Ultra-high-strength steel (red) is involved in several key places: thresholds, floors of the floor, front racks. Separate used alloy varieties have a gap strength of more than 1000 MPa, while the predecessor car has up to 550 MPa. And another 10% increased the number of welding points. All this made it possible to achieve the best rigidity of the body (for the benefit of manageability) and the radical best results of crash tests compared to the Aveo Previous (five stars against one and a half).


Under the hood, the polo is a well-proven and relatively simple in the design of the CFNA sixteenthly gauge with a distributed injection, known to domestic drivers, for example, according to the current Fabia. Of the design features, it is worth mentioning the durable drive of the chain gas distribution mechanism and four separate ignition coils.

Aveo sedan is equipped with a "fourth" from the Ecotec family, familiar to consumers for a number of other GM models. In particular, the same unit, only with the Opel icon on the lid, can be seen in the automotive compartment of the current generation. Features of this DVS: intake tract with variable geometry and changing phases of gas distribution on the inlet and release. Compared with a similar motor of the previous generation in this unit, the engineers reduced the weight of the cylinder block and increased its rigidity, improved the cooling of the block head and increased the vitality of the toothed belt, and also embedded with pistons with pistons with jets of oil.

One of the popular and inexpensive sedan class models, which we subjected to comparative analysis today are Chevrolet Cruz, as well as his worthy opponent or just a German analogue - Volkswagen Jetta. Throwing unnecessary facts to the back plan and not necessary trivia, we will compare cars whose autopromas are quite distinctive and are based on different approaches and traditions. Speaking is definitely, what car from these more prestigious, it would not be quite right. And the "German" and the Korean with the Americanized name has its strengths and weaknesses, which will be discussed further in this material.

For a general vision of confrontation, it is worth familiar with the table technical characteristics Each of these cars. So, the half has already been done. Now we will go directly on the appearance of the participants and focus on important details.

Appearance and design solutions

No one surprises the conservatism of the "German designers", which does not leave a car any chance for his individuality. However, as most critics and experts notes, it is this approach that gives rise to something more, namely the pricelessness of the traditions of Volkswagen, which are supported for a long time. That is why Volkswagen Jetta distinguish the features of strictly verified design and harmony of lines.

On the other hand, Chevrolet Cruz well, there is no black color, such a car is not much different from the color of the dirty asphalt, and in winter it seems like a black raven on white snow. A positive point in all this is strictly individually spent design, thanks to which Chevrolet Cruze does not confuse with any other car model. However, there is always a representative of a sedan class who can make decent competition for our participants in terms of design. In this case, be it a Chevrolet model Cruz or Volkswagen Jetta, as a result, each of them will become an outsider of competition. In the meantime, we continue to further examine all the possibilities, the advantages and disadvantages of participants in the confrontation of Chevrolet Cruze VS Volkswagen Jetta.

Challenges and acceleration dynamics

An important parameter for riding on Russian roads is height road Suit. According to this, the criterion for the Russian car owners, the victory for the Volkswagen Jetta car is 160 mm, while Chevrolet Cruze is only 150 mm. Jetta distinguishes the presence of sufficient salon space, winning in many aspects, especially for passengers in the backseat. And this is a relatively small wheelbase, the length of which is quite modest and not many more than 2.6 m. In Jette, passengers sitting in the back seat, there will be a place not only convenient to arrange arms and legs, but also, it is easy to determine where to put glasses . And in addition to the shelves and radiators, there is a 12 volt socket.

Only "But" in all this interior magnificence - too prominent stands close to the rear seat, and when traveling is somewhat somewhat difficult to find a place to one of the passengers. In the front of Jetta, everything is most unified - a simple dashboard, which contains basic dynamic sensors, car interior is convenient, but there is a job for designers here. Therefore, high marks for the execution of the salon model Volkswagen Jetta do not see.

Over the skillful outlines and smooth transitions of the Korea car body of Chevrolet Cruze, designers from Korea worked as professional surgeons. Even if you can see some distant reminder about Daewoo Lacetti, however, it is only a very minor similar to the car. Thanks to this project, the Koreans won among many studios competing for the right to create an image for this car. As the authors themselves say, they dragged inspiration and basic ideas in the traditions of the old American automotive industry from Chevrolet. Therefore, today looking at the Chevrolet model Cruz, you feel how the line of the roof of the car flows to the rear lamps from the low hood through a high trunk.

But on the free space inside the Chevrolet Cruze salon, there is among representatives of their class on not particularly prestigious middle positions. The back seat is quite spacious, and the legs behind the seated passenger do not rest in the front seats chairs, due to the recentness of the latter. The gap between the heads sitting in the back seat and the ceiling is not too large, due to the large bench back. Also the undisputed minus of this car is that the warm air is served only to the feet of the legs.

Chevrolet Cruze VS Volkswagen Jetta

The Chevrolet Cruz car differs from the Jetty by the fact that it is more important with the buttons and adjustment handles. But sometimes, being in the Cruise salon, the feeling of budget and economy, in terms of style and interior design, is crucial. Hard plastic, the most ordinary seat upholstery and presence in the salon of a distinct smell of plastics. Some minuses at the cruise are also in the design of the tachometer and speedometer, which also have insufficient brightness of the backlight. On the contrary, the jetty driver's seat is convenience and quality filler.

Jetty's luggage compartment - more than 500 liters, which gives the car the ability to transport even skis because there is a window between the trunk and the interior. The rear seats are equipped with a fastening mechanism that can be discharged from the trunk. Chevrolet cargo trunk Cruise of medium sizes and is 450 liters. Rear seats can also be disgusted from the trunk.

Causes and Reason To select Chevrolet Cruze VS Volkswagen Jetta

Comparing that Bether Volkswagen Jetta or Chevrolet Cruz, found out several reasons that may contribute to the purchase of Chevrolet Cruz:

  • The first reason for which the purchase can be performed is a price factor. The price of the car is competitively capable of other brands of the same class.
  • The second factor advantaged for the purchase is a bright and distinguished car against the background of others. With a length of more than 4.5 m, it can be conventionally attributed to cars D - class.
  • Thirdly - maneuverability and speed parameters of Chevrolet Cruz in the soul of many who love fast ride. Its suspension and steering at speed look just excellent, providing easy car control.
  • Fourth, powerful engine (1.8 l) with a 6-speed gearbox "Automatic". With this power, it is characterized by economy.
  • And, last, Chevrolet Cruz is included in the list of models, when buying which, you can hand over the old car, receiving a discount of 50 thousand rubles.

But, despite all the wonderful reviews about Chevrolet, there are disadvantages in such a choice. Therefore, given all "for" - there are three "against":

  1. The car equipped with a 1.6 liter engine is slightly accelerated and moves quite sluggish. This predecessor contributed to this - Daewoo Lacetti, on the basis of which Cruise appeared.
  2. The price of a car with a 1.6 liter engine is somewhat biting, given the first negative factor.
  3. Some scarcity of plastic interior design in dark colors may seem dull.

Against the background of 1.6 liter engine - 1.8 liters looks significantly attracting, increasing the power and maneuverability of the car, giving the dynamics. As for Volkswagen Jetta, the car is complicated amazingly, has its memorable face. Spacious in the cabin, climate - control, protection against outdoor smells and noise - important advantages. As one of the options - a car equipped automatic box DSG. But this is a car for wealthy customers, although in the urban cycle, the automatic box justifies itself.

Outside the city, in combination of 122 - strong engine and DSG box Volkswagen Jetta, is able to reach 100 km / h in 9.8 seconds. Installed for Jetty Manual gearbox runs smoothly and no complaints. European buyers are offered cars with 6 power units - 2 turbodiesel: 1.6 liters and 2.0 liters, there are cost-effective 1.2 l and 1.4 with turbocharged motors.

Thus, buy today the car Volkswagen Jetta is to give preference to the truly German classics of automotive, with a significant development in favor of priority progress and attracting new design solutions. In addition, this car has shown himself as a decent assistant in family affairs capable of transporting overall loads, turn a distant trip to pleasure, as well as take care of each passenger separately. And thanks to the sporting species and its modest external elegance, it will allow every car owner to emphasize its independence and an unstable conservative temper and at the same time of the true fan of Volkswagen.

Disputes in the editorial board on which of the sedans prettier, ended, and without starting.

Polo Sedan won unconditionally. Stylish optics, minimal gaps between the elements (between the pharmaceutical and closed, the Mysinette breaks without problems). "Locked the bill" except that the rear view, which in Chevrolet seemed a little more solid and balanced, while POLO feed was framed so that he seemed to be like.

Aveo also led the decorative caps and not very serious blue-blue color; In black and with cast wheel discs it would be more competitive. Probably.

Salon

Inside VW, like outside, one step is more modern, both aesthetically and functionally. Although a hard steering wheel that does not even have a "maximum speed" of the control buttons, slightly spoiled more than a worthy internal appearance. However, the plastic itself, which is pretty hard and torpedo are pretty hard; It logically, the question arose - as far as the car won, use VW plastic as in the usual Polo ... But the organization of the driver's instrument - as in the present Volkswagen. Excellent readable devices, between them - a small screen of the on-board computer. The information displayed on it can be controlled by buttons on a steering wheel lever with janitor.

Aveo is simpler. But everything is also vital also in its places: air conditioning and unpopular in thieves Standard dance-size of radio tape recorders firmly settled on the center console. Good news: there are two buttons on the steering wheel. Bad: These are the buttons of the beep, for which it is not to get if you choose the habit of the steering wheel ...

Rear in Polo is clown. That is, there is enough space in space for knees, but the head concerns the rigid roof finish. Yes, and in the shoulders will be enough only to two. Aveo is a good stitch, although those who are above 180 cm will also be complaining to the height of the roof.

Dynamics

At first glance, the comparison is unfair: under the hood of the POLO sedan was a 1.6-liter 105-strong engine, while Aveo had only an engine 1.4. But the power of Chevrolet, the engine volume of which is less than a glass, differed in only 4 hp Therefore, there is no particular in the dynamics of the difference, only in the character of the set.

The six-speed "automatic" (not bad for the state employee, however?!) Diligently changes the transmissions, offering more terrible to fuel - the salon managers went to us so that the average consumption of the flight committee was about 15 liters per hundred! The Japanese AISIN automatic transmission works fine, and in sports mode allows longer to keep the transmission and helps to move back in the city. Aveo is not inferior at the start, winning due to rare speed switching - the "Machine" of Chevrolet only 4 programs, but in the city and this is enough. Despite age, this transmission does not work worse with its duties, especially we liked the imperceptibility of switching up and predictable - down.

Steering is more transparent at Volkswagen: the neutral position is better than, and the slightest deviation causes an increasing striving of the steering wheel back. Chevrolet is slightly less informative, and at low speeds control becomes less sharply, unlike Polo.

The suspension of both sedans is rather tough, but with a worsening of the quality of the road, Aveo looks more comfortable. However, the Polo sedan is rehabilitated on an even asphalt by the fact that it perfectly keeps the straight line, turns albeit with small rolls (almost off-road clearance has affected), but without departing with the intended trajectory.

Road clearance at the Polo sedan for 1.5 cm is larger than that of Aveo (170 versus 155 mm), it can come in handy on a broken country road, say, on the way to the cottage. But discomfort on the streets of the city does not deliver even a more modest Clearance of Chevrolet - for example, both cars can be played with the front wheels to the curb.

Money

The entrance fee into the POLO Sedan and Aveo owners club with automata is 512,000 and 513,000 rubles, respectively. In the case of Chevrolet, the buyer receives a fully equipped car in the maximum equipment. Nevertheless, for this amount in Aveo will not be heated seats and longitudinal adjustment of the steering column. But in Polo there is no music, no air conditioner - all for a fee.

What is the result?

Volkswagen Polo is worth waiting. Moreover, the Kaluga plant is about to increase the production of cars several times, and the queues will be lit. Most likely. But POLO is your option, but inexpensive (compared to competitors) it is no longer called. If each ruble is important with the money "tens" and is important, Aveo is a classic "budget car": you will not take a stylish and ergonomic salon and body for in German, but only the most necessary, already included in the list of equipment.
