What to choose: Renault Logan or Chevrolet Cobalt? Comparative Test Chevrolet Cobalt - Renault Logan How much Chevrolet Cobalt configuration.

08.07.2020

Brazilian GM branch, by 2011, independently developed his vision of the state employee. The project was called Chevrolet Cobalt., NEW, THE RIGHTS OF CONCEPT, was represented in the summer of 2011 in Buenos Aires. By the end of 2011, sales of this sedanchik started in South America, and in 2012, the Global Chevrolet Cobalt reached the Russian market.

In order to avoid confusion, we immediately explain that under the chevrolet brand in the US, the same model was produced in 2004-2010 (GM Delta platform) - using this platform also produced: Opel Astra H (2004-2009), Opel Zafira., Chevrolet HHR ...

The second embodiment of Chevrolet Cobalt uses the old Delta platform - shortened by 4 mm (2620 mm), the manufacturer of this car is positioned as a representative of the European class "B". The four-door, "South American" sedan has 4479 mm length, 1735 mm width, 1514 mm height, and with their sizes is located between the sedans of Chevrolet Aveo and Chevrolet Cruze.

The appearance of the Chevrolet Cobalt 2012 model year from Brazilian designers turned out to be original, but boring. The front part with large almond headlights, an indiscreet size of a falseradiator grille, a bumper with an additional air duct and "cannons" of the fog, solved in the corporate style of the brand. Only disproportionately large size of the radiator headlights and grilles make a kind of imbalance in the appearance of this car.

Body sidewalls with high belt line (small glass), almost smooth roof, powerful rear stands, round wheeled arches and pierced trunk looks Presno, without a zadorinka.

Some dilutes the mood to send to the bottom of the doors, but its configuration seeks to be protected by a plastic lining. The feed with a huge lid of the trunk is dissenisled with a "children's size" bumper and rear lighting, which is solved in the style of "Corsa Sedan".

The size of the practical luggage branch of the Chevrolet Cobalt sedan is 545 liters (leave the former class record holder, in the face of Renault Logan, far behind).

Internal component of the second embodiment chevrolet sedan Cobalt in many solutions echoes the interior design Chevrolet Aveo. 2012 model year. The same three-spoke steering wheel with an insert for metal (steering column is adjustable in four directions), original motorcycle dashboard, Front torpedo with open shelves for small things. Central console with attractive and ergonomic configuration and multimedia system, with comfortable handles of heater control and air conditioning.

The seats in Chevrolet Cobalt also moved with Aveo, the front with a bright anatomical form and pronounced side support is not only the pillows, but also the backs of the chair.

The rear row pillow is molded under two passengers, and the head restraints are two, the third sitting will be inconvenient. In the second row of the place for legs with a margin, passengers of medium growth are cramped.

Materials used in the interior decoration will not be expensive, but acceptable quality. In addition, Chevrolet Cobalt II has the ability to configure climate control, electric windows, electric mirrors and heated, frontal airbags, CD / MP3 magnetic.

Specifications. For the Russian and market, the second Chevrolet cobalt is equipped with a gasoline 1.5-liter 105-strong engine. There will be two gearboxes for it: 5-speed "mechanics" or a 6-speed "automatic".

The dynamics of the sedan does not depend on the type of check-in - this is, in any case, 11.7 seconds "until the first hundred", and the maximum speed is 170 km / h.

But in terms of fuel economy - "Mechanics", still wins. Fuel consumption (and the manufacturer recommends 95th gasoline) with MCPP will be 6.5 liters per 100 km in "Mixed" mode (8.4 - "in the city" or 5.3 - "on the track"), and with "automatic" fuel consumption will increase to 7.6 Litres "on average" (10.4 in the city cycle or 5.9 on the track).

By the way, the Basil version of Chevrolet Cobalt is equipped with 1.4 liters of families of the ECONOFLEX family. Power 97 hp When working on gasoline and outstanding 102 hp On Ethanol (Brazil - the world's largest producer of biofuels). In "Help" the engine is offered 5-speed MCP. Dynamics to "hundreds" 11.9 seconds, with maximum speed 170 km / h

Chevrolet Cobalt is built on classic for budget car. Suspension: Front independent on the racks MacPherson, is semi-dependent on the beam from the beam.

In general, knowing the characteristics of the suspension, the power of the motor and the used KP, to understand - how the budget Chevrolet Cobalt will be on the road - easy. The car was built on a verified Delta platform, a typical representative of which is Opel Astra H (now removed from production). So, on the roads with a bad coating, the driver and passengers will have to, because of the tough suspension, take on all the pits, joints and road ripples. With unhurried ride steering It will be adequate, the casual rolls are insignificant. There will be no purker, the car is "not configured" to high-speed driving and sharp rebuilding. Critical situations are broken rear axis In the skid, however, the situation should save good and chain brakes.
Summing up, this "cobalt" can be attributed to a number of typical representatives of the "budget segment". The main features of the car: a peculiar design, an interesting functional interior, mediocre manageability.

Chevrolet Cobalt's budget sedan is produced for CIS countries in Uzbekistan (at the GM Uzbekistan plant).

Package and prices. In 2015, Chevrolet Cobalt on the Russian market is offered in two configurations: LT and LTZ. Cost of sedan B. basic configuration Lt (with a 1.5-liter, 105-strong engine and 5mcpps) starts from 571 thousand rubles. And "cobalt" with the same engine, but already with the "automatic" is offered at a price of 637 thousand rubles. For the price of 668 thousand rubles will be proposed "top" equipment Chevrolet Cobalt (equipped with additionally included: ABS, airbag for front passenger, fog, audio system CD + USB, rear power windows and 15 "alloy wheels).

What to choose: Renault Logan. Or Chevrolet Cobalt?

Compare Renault Logan and Chevrolet Cobalt: equipment, design, trunk volume. What car will be better?

Decade ago Car Renault Company made a peculiar coup in the car market when the Logan model has already released today. The main advertising slogan, largely due to which the car has earned such popularity, was the statement that it was not easy quality carand a model that is available almost to everyone.

The success of the car was trying to repeat many other manufacturers, but it is worth noting that almost any of them did not have done this. The only cars, who managed to approach the success of Logan, can be considered models Hyundai Solaris. and Kia Rio.. After all, it is not enough to make a fiscal class car. It is important that it is available in everything. This concerns I. maintenance and the presence of inexpensive parts for repair and, not less important, such a car must securely serve to its owner.

This year the car market has been replenished new version Having loved many Renault Logan. The car received a more modern appearance and stuffing, and also became even more affordable. The declared price for it is 355 thousand rubles. Naturally, there is no one model in stock, but by level technical Equipment It will be quite simple. It does not provide no electric lifts of glass, nor the strengthening of the steering wheel, will not be here and the air conditioner, as well as the backlighting of the trunk. We managed to study a more applied version of this model, namely Luxe Privilege. For comparison, we also consider one of the competitors of this model - Chevrolet Cobalt.

Car design

It is worth noting that the design itself is a very subjective thing. Someone likes the appearance of the car, and someone - no. More objective is an indicator of sales in the market. After all, it's no secret that the car is selected in many respects not only at its cost and stuffing, but also by appearance. New model Logan got a more stylish and modern design. As for the interior, there is a maximum desire to make a car more accessible to its future owners. A competent combination of several plastics, namely ordinary chrome and lacquered, allows you to give the salon an interesting and pleasant look. Also in the cabin installed a touch monitor navigation systemwhich truth does not impress the high-quality and expensive electronics. There is a cruise control, as well as modern climate control, the block, which was most likely borrowed from a more expensive model.

The interior design of Chevrolet Cobalt looks simpler and somewhat outdated. The window with the LCD display and the semicircle of the tachometer looked very stylish 15-20 years ago, but now it reminds only about the times of the harsh 90s. The quality of plastic in the cabin is also not happy. At the same time, the creators were somewhat overwhelmed over the comfort of cars.

Specifications

The volume of the trunk. Often buyers inexpensive cars Pay great attention to the volume of the trunk. In our case, the advantage on the side of Chevrolet. At the Cobalt model, the trunk volume is 545 liters, while Logan is 510. But, if we talk about the convenience of use, then the Logan will be defeated here, since its competitor, part of the trunk is occupied by protruding wheeled arches.

Landing. As for Chevrolet Cobalt, the landing is high enough here. The disadvantage is the absence of an armrest, since the right hand is actually constantly in the air. The same can be said about the model of the manufacturer Renault, but her no armrest is not so felt, because the right hand is conveniently located on the handle of the gearbox.

Dynamics. Comparing the proposed cars in this regard is quite difficult. The fact is that the model Logan is equipped only mechanical box Transmissions, while Cobalt, which we received for testing, is equipped with a machine. It is worth noting that the presence of six speed automatic box Gears in New chevrolet models - This is the whole major advantage compared to his competitor. The machine works quite clearly, without failures and jerks. Also Cobalt outweighs the motor, since the engine is one and a half liters can issue a hundred five horse powerWhat is better than one hundred and two forces in Loganovsky engine at 1.6 liters.

Let's summarize

Benefits Renault Logan.

  • A wide range of configuration;
  • Good suspension work;
  • A fairly large volume of the cabin;
  • Cheap service and repair.
  • Inexpensive materials of the interior decoration;

Disadvantages of Renault Logan.

  • Low car power;
  • Low speaker.

Conclusion: new model Renault. Logan has not changed much compared to the predecessor. But thanks to a low price, it is still attractive as a budget model of a car for a family or the so-called workhorse. Also, it is also impossible not to note the good work of the suspension and, as a result, excellent behavior on the road.

Advantages of Chevrolet Cobalt.

  • Good dynamics;
  • Automatic transmission;
  • Large volume of luggage compartment.

Disadvantages of Chevrolet Cobalt.

Conclusion: For this segment in the market, the dynamics and the presence of a machine is not determining factors. In everything else, Cobalt is a car on an amateur.

What will happen in 2019: dear cars and disputes with the government

Due to the growth of VAT and unclear future state support programs, the car market has new cars in 2019 will continue to rise. We found out how autocompany will negotiate with the government and which new items will be brought.

However, this state of affairs only stimulated buyers to more quickly make decisions, and an additional argument was planned for 2019 the growth of VAT from 18 to 20%. What trials are waiting for the industry in 2019, autonews.ru told leading autocompany.

Numbers: Sales grow 19 months in a row

According to the results of sales of new cars in November 2018, the Russian car market showed an increase of 10% - thus, the market continues to grow for 19 months in a row. According to the Association of European Businesses (AEB), 167,494 new cars were sold in Russia, and in total from January to November, automakers implemented 1,625,351 cars - by 13.7% more than last year's indicator.

According to AEB, December sales results must be comparable to November. And at the end of the year it is expected that the market will reach the figure of 1.8 million sold cars and light commercial vehicles, which will mean a 13 percent plus.

The most noticeable in 2018, according to January to November, sales of LADA (324,797 units, + 16%), KIA (209 503, + 24%), Hyundai (163 194, + 14%), VW (94 877, + 20%), Toyota (96 226, + 15%), Skoda (73 275, + 30%). Began to go to lost positions in Russia Mitsubishi. (39,859 units, + 93%). From the brand noticeably, despite the increase, behind Subaru (7026 units, + 33%) and Suzuki (5303, + 26%).

Tightening sales in BMW (32,512 units, + 19%), Mazda (28 043, + 23%), Volvo (6854, + 16%). "Shot" premium sub-brand from Hyundai - Genesis (1626 units, 76%). Stable in terms of RENAULT (128 965, + 6%), Nissan (67 501, + 8%) Ford (47 488, + 6%), Mercedes-Benz (34 426, + 2%), Lexus (21 831, + 4%) and Land Rover (8 801, + 9%).

Despite positive figures, the total volumes of the Russian market remain low. According to the Avtostat agency, the market has historically showed the market in 2012 - then 2.8 million cars were sold, in 2013 sales decreased to 2.6 million. In 2014, the crisis came only by the end of the year, therefore the dramatic fall of the market did not happen - the Russians managed to buy 2.3 million cars in the "old" prices. But in 2015, sales collapsed to 1.5 million units. Negative dynamics remained in 2016, when sales asked to record low 1.3 million cars. The revival of demand happened only in 2017, when the Russians bought 1.51 million new cars. Thus, to the initial figures of the Russian automotive industry, as well as to the status of the first sales of the market in Europe, which Russia was proper in the pre-crisis years.

Interviewed AutoNews.ru Representatives of autocompany believe that sales of 2019 will be comparable to the results of 2018: according to their estimates, the Russians will buy as many cars or a little less. Most expects to be failed January and February, after which sales will go up again. However, from official forecasts before the new year, the autobrands refuse.

"In 2019, cars purchased for the pre-crisis 2014 will be for five years - for Russians this is a certain psychological mark on which they are ready to think about the replacement of the car," said Kia Marketing Director Valery Tarakanov in a conversation with Autonews.ru.

Prices: Machines Race all year

New cars in Russia after the crisis of 2014. By November 2018 went up by an average of 66%, counted in Avtostat. For 11 months of 2018, cars on average became more expensive by 12%. The experts of the agency came to the conclusion that the car company was now practically played the fall of the ruble in relation to world currencies. But stipulate that this does not mean freezing prices.

Further rise in price will be facilitated by inflation and increase in VAT rates from the beginning of 2019 - from 18% to 20%. Representatives of auto companies in conversations with a correspondent Autonews.ru also do not hide that the growth of VAT will directly affect the cost of cars, and from the very beginning of 2019 it is, for example, confirmed in Renault, AvtoVAZ and KIA.

Discounts, bonuses and new prices: when it is most profitable to buy a car

"On the threshold of the last quarter of the year Russian car market continued to demonstrate confident growth. However, this pleasant fact did not become a surprise, taking into account the passing wind in the sail of the entire retail sector, counting time before changing the VAT. Among the market participants, fears are growing in relation to the resistance of demand in retail since January 2019, "explained the Chairman of the Committee for automakers AEB YORG Schreiber.

At the same time, autocontracens hope that the ruble rate will not change much in relation to foreign currency, which will avoid racing prices.

Power Support Programs: Dalited two times less

The most popular state support programs in 2018 were allocated twice and less money compared to 2017 - 34.4 billion rubles. instead of the previous 62.3 billion rubles. At the same time, the targeted programs calculated on motorists spent only 7.5 billion rubles. We are talking about such programs as the "first car" and the "family car", which apply to cars worth up to 1.5 million rubles.

The rest of the money went to more specific programs like "their own business" and "Russian tractor". For development and production events vehicle With remote and autonomous control, 1.295 billion was spent on stimulating the acquisition of ground electric transport - 1.5 billion, for measures to stimulate production in the Far East (this is compensation for transportation costs by car companies) - 0.5 billion rubles, for the purchase of gas engine equipment - 2.5 billion rubles.

Thus, the government, as promised, continues to be systematically reduced the volume of industry state support. For comparison: in 2014 exclusively 10 billion rubles. We went to recycling programs and trade-in. In 2015, 43 billion rubles were allocated to support the auto industry, of which 30% also went to dispose and trade-in. In 2016, the costs of state support of the automotive industry reached 50 billion rubles, of which half also spent on similar address programs.

As for 2019, the situation with state support remains. So, in the middle of the year, the Ministry of Industry, in the middle of the year, said that the "first car" and "family car" programs were extended to 2020 inclusive. They should allow buying new cars with a discount of 10-25%. However, automakers argue that they have not yet received any confirmation of the extension of programs - in the Ministry of Industry, they could not clarify the situation and respond to the autonews.ru request.

Meanwhile, at a recent meeting with automakers, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak said that the volume of state support for the domestic automotive industry five times higher than the receipts from this industry to the budget.

"Now it is 9 rubles per ruble of income in the budget system from the car industry. This is with recycling fee, and without utilization collection - 5 rubles of state supports, "he said.

Kozak explained that these figures should be made to think, under what conditions it is necessary to provide state support measures to the auto industry, adding that the overwhelming majority of business sectors do not receive any support from the state.

Disputes with the government: autocompany are unhappy

In 2018, the disputes of autocompany with the government under the terms of further work on the market were aggravated. The reason for the expired terms of the promsborne agreement, which invested in the localization of the production of autocompanyes, a tangible set of benefits, including taxes, has been invested in localization. This situation primarily means that manufacturers in conditions of uncertainty can postpone the launch of new models than, by the way, threatened to Renault. In addition, companies are more difficult to predict their price policy. At the moment, the government in the face of the Ministry of Industry and Maineka has not yet been able to work out a single strategy.

The departments prior to the latter offered different tools in exchange for the completion of the decision on industrial assembly No. 166. Thus, the Ministry of Industry and Technology actively lobbied the signing of individual special investment contracts (visits) between the government and autocompany. The document involves a certain set of benefits, which is determined separately with each subscriber, depending on the size of the investment, including in R & D and the development of exports. This tool has repeatedly criticized the leaders of autocompany for opacity and too stringent requirements in terms of further investment.

In the midek, in turn, they opposed for a long time and insisted that only those who produce high-tech products could be operated on the vessels, to which cars do not belong. The negotiations also included the FAS with a position that companies should not form alliances and consortia, that is, should not be united to sign the speakers. At the same time, it is such an idea of \u200b\u200bcombining brands to obtain a synergistic effect begun to promote in the Ministry of Industry, many years ago.

A conflict situation had to intervene by the Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozaku, who created a special workgroup, invited representatives of all auto companies to it and also expressed a number of his own ideas. But it did not discharge the situation - the auto brands complained about newbies, including Chinese companies that could count on state support from scratch, to invest too high investments in R & D and the organization of exports.

Currently, according to the sources of Autonews.ru, participating in the negotiations, advantage on the side of the Ministry of Industry, and a number of autocompany are already preparing to sign spripes in the new year. And this means new investments, projects and models, the appearance of which the Russian car market can revive.

New models: in 2019 there will be a lot of prime minister

Despite the accurate forecasts from automakers, most of them are preparing a lot of new products for Russia. For example, in Volvo Autonews.ru they told that they would bring new Volvo. S60 and Volvo V60 Cross Country. Suzuki launches updated SUV. Vitara and new compact Jimny SUV.

Skoda next year will bring the updated Superb and crossover KAROQ, Volkswagen in 2019 in 2019, and the Russian sales of Liftback Arteon, as well as new Polo and Tiguan modifications. AvtoVAZ Ruskat Lada Vesta. Sport, Granta Cross and promises some more new products.

The first generation was considered a newcomer-debutant in the segment of inexpensive sedans, then the second generation turned it into an experienced master. Now is a reference point for all "recruits", which have not yet had time to smell the gunpowder. And the manufacturers of Chevrolet Cobalt, who released this model, as a direct competitor of Logan, should have been understood. We will analyze both cars around the bone and find out, is it worthy of Cobalt Logan?

Renault Logan of the first generation immediately went to the masses

The fact that everything changes - and budgets for buyers, and the concept of "present" good car - Not news. Recalls that a few years ago they said that the idea of \u200b\u200bFrench automakers, regarding Renault Dacia / Logan, will cost good money. Calculated like a total of 5 thousand US dollars and they did not like more. And indeed, at first the project was realized and the first Logan went into the masses, only the price confidently crossed not 5, but a 10 thousandth mark. Today, the dollar is no longer the same as before, but Logan still keeps the competitors, he is not so much.

Interestingly, Renault Logan manufacturers set out to compete with A-class cars, and compete with a class higher. And designers are achieved, which is noteworthy, by any ways to create a good capacity of the cabin and incredibly volume to make the magnitude of the trunk. This most rear compartment is more than many golf class cars and even can compete with the trunk of some D-class sedans.

Famous a few years ago, too, became interested in the issue of similar budget modelsthat would always keep the price. Citroen C-Elysee and 301th, and last year and Chevrolet, decided to play on the same rules and released a direct competitor - Chevrolet Cobalt. This car is the development of one of the branches of General Motors, which was originally aimed at the countries of the so-called third world. The production of Chevrolet Cobalt decided to begin, respectively, in one of the Central Asian republics.

What's the difference

Let's start with the design, it would seem, the most ungrateful thing, but what to do. It is the outer surfaces of the body of Chevrolet Cobalt forced us to do it. They seem to be mapped if not amateur, then novice designers, but on the appearance of Logan, you definitely not say. It is immediately seen that this is a second-generation car, no funds fagged to improve his exterior.

The interior of both cars causes almost the same sensations. Logan, for which they limited sophisticated solutions and expensive materials (what is surprised, because this is a stateput?!), I should not have been, but it is perceived much more pleasant and logical than cobalt. It is impossible not to note the features of the layout of the Chevrolet Cobalt salon, where the sake of ensuring maximum capacity was emphasized in favor of the vertical landing and placed the front seats are clearly high. It turns out that with an average complexation, even with the lowest seat position, it will sit still high like on a chair. If the driver's growth will be higher than the average, then it is dangerous to sit in this car, since the heads will accurately pretend to the ceiling. It seems to be expecting an excellent visibility with such a situation, but alas, to realize it, you need to at least twice the forefront of the bodies.

Advantage of Logan

It is obvious. It is better at Logan with adjustable seats vertically, which is not a formal nature, like his competitor. In addition, the range and range of the settings themselves, and the driver, even despite the lower pillow in length. As for ergonomics, Logan could be scolded only for minor shortcomings, such as the LED air conditioner button, the rear window keys and so on.

In both cars, a sufficient gap in front of the knees of the rear passengers is provided. As many as 10 cm, the gap is enough to go to the farthest distances with comfort.

In general, both in height and in length more space represents Logan. But the width is spacious in cobalt, which is clearly noticed at the shoulder level.

Riding

For the ride characteristics, no one was going to judge strictly. The fact is that such sedans are enough to show the acceptable control accuracy, predictability of reactions and excellent stability. The rest is no longer so important.

But to test thoroughly the power intensity of the suspension is another matter. And both sedans did not pump, showing good resistance to breakdowns on an uneven road. On our russian roads This parameter is very important.

Still more comfortable riding on Logan. Cobalt on small irregularities shakes more often, and his body plays in unison with longitudinal and transverse differences of road surfaces. All this adversely affects not only passengers, but also on the driver who is constantly tense. Roads are not everywhere asphalt and cobalt in this plan already loses to Logan, which is much better coping with bad roads.

But do not adhere to the pendants of both sedans. They do not lead to a split even with alternating irregularities. In addition, with vigorously made maneuvering, there is no feeling of valve, as on some cars. Both cars also showed themselves and in terms of tech. Tested on children inclined to brand, and everything cost without trouble.

Dynamics and her nuances

Some when conducting the test called cobalt more dynamic. But this is if not to be lazy and unwind the motor, moving timely to low transmissions.

In the dynamics of overclocking, the Logan is unequivocal. He accelerates with a great desire and even from the lowest (without showing special skills, you can safely move from the place at the 2nd speed). Logan does not impose special requirements for the choice of the desired stage and is much more convenient than cobalt. It could be said like this: Logan is just the perfect car, but it is a pity that he does not have automatic transmission, like an expensive version of cobalt.

Prices

And finally, the most important thing for our buyer, who only recently began to understand that not only in the cost of the car is concluded. So, prices for cobalt versions begin with 483 thousand rubles. It pleases that the base version of the car includes the heating options of the front seats and mirrors, it is very relevant for our Russian winter. As for the speaker system, only the so-called "preparation" is provided, for which the owner must already select the head speakers separately. But the ABS, alloy wheels, "Fog", computer, alarm - all this is only complete with expensive versions, already for 572 thousand rubles, which includes the long-awaited automatic transmission.

As for Logan, this sedan has enough of the engines, there is a good choice. With the only 5 transmissions you can choose the option from 82 liters. from. or from 102 liters from. The most accessible version with 82 liters. from. The engine is sold for 355 thousand rubles. It implies the presence of scant options. The cost of Renault Logan with a 102 liter engine. from. Starts with 428 thousand rubles, but here the set of options is much wider. There are abs, gur and much more. Although, what is interesting, the air conditioner goes for a surcharge of 25 thousand rubles. The most expensive equipment Renault Logan includes the necessary set of security and comfort systems and plus it is possible to become the owner of multimedia in 14 thousand rubles.

Pros and cons

Chevrolet Cobalt

  • Good capacity.
  • Wider rear end Salon compared to Renault Logan.
  • The mirror adjustment console is conveniently located on the door, harmonizing on the same level with a mirror.
  • Width of space on rear seat More than the opponent.
  • Convenient management of microclimate buttons.

  • No automatic transmission.
  • There is not enough engine temperature pointer in the instrument combination.
  • Uncomfortable adjustment of the distribution of air flows.

Test drive car Renault Logan:

Now we will try to digest all the information listed above. What do we get? Cobalt has fewer options and force aggregate He has only one to choose from. But there is an opportunity to choose automatic transmission and manual transmission.

Logan options are more, even despite the lack of an automatic box. This sedan is developed and the package selection system. All this a priori indicates that Renault Logan again showed a more friendly approach to the buyer than his opponent.

Conclusion

The experience of creating a car, sharpened under the budget market, played a role. Chevrolet Cobalt in terms of consumer preferences is inferior to Logan. On the other hand, it has more in size, and the rear compartment configuration itself causes one praise alone. Cobalt has a powerful and omnivorous suspension, it is unpretentious and simple.

If Cobalt was a little less cheaper than it is, he managed to make Logan competition, and so, this is still a unripe fruit, which else to grow and grow. Logan in reproach can be put, except the archaic engines, the modernization of which the manufacturer had to be carried out, even due to the lack of real competition in the class.

The results of our comparative test are as follows. The game, to be honest, initially walked only in the same gate, and Cobalt performed as defended. Only in the nomination "trunk" he was able to win, and the rest completely lost to Logan. According to the estimates of our experts, 69.5 points was given to Chevrolet Cobalt, which, besides a good trunk, showed quite a good functionality, excellent sound insulation and convenient steering.

Renault Logan receives 71.5 points. For almost all items, he is headed above his opponent and it is not surprising, because, as it was said above, the experience of his work did.
