Full-wheel drive "Sable" (GAZ-27527)
Starting from 2010 at the Gorky Automobile Plantgreat changes began. The model range of cars of the family "GAZelle" and "Sable" underwent serious modernization and refinement. And if the exterior of the new cars have not changed much, then in the technical part quite the contrary (which is only the application of the new American engine "Cummins"!). In today's article, we will consider such a modification of GAZ as the all-wheel drive Sobol developed in 2011.
Appearance
The design of the car practically has not changed. Now the all-wheel drive "Sable" is manufactured in the same way as its mono-drive brothers of the year 2003. The only distinguishing feature is the wheels and ground clearance. Due to the use of the all-wheel drive, the ground clearance has increased significantly, respectively, and the passability too.
Salon
Unlike the exterior, the interior of the car washas been radically revised. Changes have touched many things, including the front panel. Now the all-wheel drive Sobol has a new, more accurate torpedo architecture and a modern instrument panel with two large scales of the speedometer and tachometer. By the way, the latter was designed specifically for the order of the well-known firm EDAG, which at one time made the instrument shields for the German "Mercedes". Finally, the interior has a normal finish! Plastic, which used to be constantly creaking and thundering (and even on new cars), now became pleasant to the touch and does not make extraneous sounds. The noise insulation was also improved, which was simply absent in the early Sobol models.
Ductor deflectors are now not falling offwhen adjusting. With the new design of the torpedo, the ventilation system was also redesigned, which significantly increased the performance of the stove. As for passengers, the all-wheel drive Sobol is capable of accommodating up to 6 people in several rows of seats, which gives the possibility of control without the presence of rights of category "D". The Gorky factory also produces a 10-seat extended version.
Full-wheel drive "Sable" - reviews about technical characteristics
Under the hood of the minivan there is an Americanturbodiesel engine "Cummins", also used on cars "GAZelle Business". With its working volume of 2.8 liters, it delivers up to 120 horsepower of power. The help of American colleagues allowed to reduce the total fuel consumption to 10.5 liters in a mixed mode. But with the dynamics of the "Sable" is not all so smooth. The jerk from zero to "hundred" is estimated in 25 seconds, thus the maximum speed is equal to 120 kilometers per hour. Coupled with the engine is a manual gearbox for 5 steps.
Price for a new all-wheel drive "Sable"
It should be noted that the use of the all-wheel drivethe production of Sable was considerably increased. The minimum price at which it is sold in Russia is 701 thousand rubles (only 300 thousand less than the price of the new Ford Transit). Only a few are willing to sacrifice this amount for the sake of patency, so it never went into mass production.
