Better grants and for the same money: 3 options
The new Lada Granta for 470,000 rubles is a good price, but nothing more. Today we want at least air conditioning and seat heating ... Any ideas!
According to the factory price list of the Grant sedan in the Standard configuration, it is estimated at 470,900 rubles. Of the amenities here are only the Isofix mount and a 12-volt outlet - no heating, no central locking, and even less an air conditioner. Central locking and EUR appear in the Classic configuration for 507,500 rubles - the moral milestone of half a million has been overcome. For air conditioning and heated mirrors, you need to add another 28 thousand. However, the seat is still "unheated" ...
470,000 rubles is enough to buy a used car, equipped much better than the 87 strong Grants with a manual transmission and in the poorest configuration.
In addition to the well-equipped one-year-old Grants and Vesta with a 106-horsepower 1.6 engine, mechanics or robot, produced in 2016-2017, with a mileage of 50-70 thousand km, you can also look at a good foreign car. There are at least three good options.
Hyundai instead of Grants
Hyundai Solaris and Kia Rio have established themselves as cars without any particular weaknesses - not counting problems with catalysts and scoring in 1.6 engines. The resource of some suspension elements is low, but with a careful ride and reasonable prices for spare parts, you can put up with this.
At the price of the new Grants, the secondary housing offers, in particular, the restyled Hyundai Solaris 2014-2016 . On average, the mileage is slightly higher than that of Vesta - 50-100 thousand km. But there is a chance to find a version with a hydro-automatic. Engines 1.4 (107 hp) and 1.6 (123 hp) are generally problem-free (although many will remember stories with badass ), there are no ambush transmissions either. And the resource of the model is highly appreciated by taxi companies and goes far beyond 200,000 km.
Similar age-mileage parameters and the same set of units for the third generation Kia Rio for 450-500 thousand rubles. Rio had a restyling in 2016 - and there are quite a lot of such cars for this money.
Choosing a used Vesta or a used Solaris is difficult. Vesta has a solid ground clearance advantage and an energy-intensive suspension. Solaris and Rio have slightly higher comfort and more modern units, but they feel worse on rough roads.
Logan instead of Grants
The Logan family has questions about ergonomics and interior design, but Grants also have a lot of frankly cheap solutions. In terms of vitality and omnivorousness, the suspension is about parity.
But those who are not afraid of gnarled roads are Renault Logan, his brother Sandero and other relatives in the chassis . At the same time, the "French" are already in the second generation (except for the Stepway version) - for 470,000 rubles, 2016-2018 cars with mileage of less than 70,000 km are available. The same is for the Nissan Almera sedan on the Logan platform, and the three-year-old Lada Largus station wagon can be found with a mileage of 50,000 km.
Archaic French units of these machines in our conditions are rather a plus. They do not give outstanding efficiency and frantic dynamics, but they are unpretentious and easier to maintain. Jatco automatic transmissions are not the best choice - of the entire range, it is the least reliable. The DP2 machine also requires a balanced approach . He is able to withstand his 150 thousand without interference, but who knows how his first owner tormented him. The best options for resource with a minimum risk of sudden breakdowns are the K4M (102 hp) or H4M (113 hp) engine in combination with the JH3 mechanical five-stage. She is definitely better than the VAZ mechanics that are on Grant.
Polo Sedan instead of Grants
The Polo Sedan has no frightening systemic breakdowns, other than early DSG transmissions. Sometimes they criticize the weak electrics, brakes and clutch resource of the manual gearbox. In general, a reliable and sturdy car.
"Doormat" on the secondary market is valued slightly more expensive than Solaris and Rio. For 470 thousand, they offer mainly cars of 2014-2015 or older, with 70-90 thousand km mileage. Apparently, the authority of the German engineering school affects, and the amendments for the Kaluga assembly are insignificant. On the other hand, with similar equipment, the Polo has a stronger suspension, and there are practically no comments on ergonomics.
When choosing, it is reasonable to beware of pre-styling supercharged 1.4 TSI engines and DSG transmissions (DQ200). With careful maintenance, they can last a long time, but it is not known how caring the previous owner was. The combination of a naturally aspirated 1.6 engine with a manual gearbox or a Japanese six-speed automatic Aisin is preferable.
The same applies to the units of the popular Skoda Rapid liftback, which is offered for 470 thousand rubles in about the same conditions as the Polo. Octavia in impeccable condition for this money is more difficult to find - cars over six years old dominate.
For the price of the new Grants on the secondary housing, you can even pick up a crossover. We will tell you which models will not disappoint. Come back often!
To protect the car's radiator from stones and other troubles, you can make a protective mesh yourself or install a model radiator protection .
