The number of cars entering the international market from China has recently increased significantly. We have already acquainted you more than once with various new products, and today will introduce the next sample of China's automotive industry.

Our hero review was the FAW V5 2014 2015 car, which is a B-class budget sedan. It is unlikely that someone was surprised by the fact that he was the budget. Plus, the car will sell in our market. Since he is frankly good, even if it is not a bright appearance, and the price tags are of interest, we consider to get acquainted with a novelty we consider our duty.

We doubt that the sedan will quickly win popularity and will become somehow on the car in the domestic market. Nevertheless, as an alternative to Russian cars, it is possible to consider it.

Our review will be devoted to the study of the car Fav B5. We will get acquainted with the appearance of new items, look into her salon, introduce the options for equipping, and also do not forget for the dessert to offer you information regarding the technical characteristics. Of course, we definitely indicate the prices that, as we believe, are one of the most important virtues of the car.

Exterior

The Chinese automaker went on the trotted path and took the idea of \u200b\u200bvarious Japanese, European and Korean cars, which were removed from production in order to form the appearance of their own sedan. By photo and video materials, even inexperienced eye can be seen a certain similarity of the Fav B5 with the Folzvage Polo. Especially the front and side part. There are also some moments resembling Hyundai Solaris and Renault Logan. May Chinese sedan looks no better than the German inspirer, but clearly attractive than Korean and French.

The front part places rather small headlights of the head light, which are narrowed at a junction of the radiator flare. It, in turn, seasoned with three chromed jumpers and supplemented with a large manufacturer's logo, from afar of Subaru's nameplate. The front bumper is quite small, neat, with beautiful lines and elements of aerodynamics. It is the bumper with his air intakes and brick-shaped fog lights most of all resemble Polzvagen Polo.

Side view of good also, which can not but rejoice. Compact motor compartment, big as for in-class side doors, well thought out and bloated wheeled arches, stylish exterior rear-view mirrors with rotary signal repents, straight roof make the car practical, but obviously not ultra fashionable when looking into the profile. In any case, as for the Chinese car is pretty good.

The rear is highlighted by a large bumper, high vertical part of the luggage door, as well as some hints of aerodynamic elements. All this is complemented by good and pretty optics.

Let's just say, appearance is not the strongest side of the FAW V5. For her design of buyers, it is clearly not added. Although the exterior can not be called bad. Yes, all restrained, concise and in Chinese classically. But still there is a certain old-fashioned machine. Such design has not been used for a long time, because I experienced my. Even the new Lada Grant, with which, in fact, will compete Fav B5, it looks more interesting and modern.

The buyer will receive a choice of seven body color options. So, a Chinese compact sedan can be ordered in black, blue, red, yellow, silver, golden and white enamel.

Now as for the overall indicators. They have such a car:

• length - 4290 millimeters
• width - 1680 millimeters
• height - 1500 millimeters
• wheel base - 2425 millimeters
• road clearance (clearance) - 150 millimeters.

Considering that the car belongs to the classroom, such dimensions look too modest. But here you can not do anything.

Interior

That's where the whole essence of the budget of the car is manifested. Let's say frankly, the car's salon is bad. Not catastrophically terrible, but still the shortcomings and shortcomings are much more than the advantages.

Immediately can be seen, very cheap materials were used to create a cabin. Yes, and the gaps between the elements of the torpedo, on the door maps and on the central console, cause quiet horror. Plastic hard, creaky, lines on the chairs are uneven. It seems that the salon did not do the factory, but some kind of underground firm making everything immediately.

Ergonomics also leaves much to be desired. For example, the seats are too soft, almost no side support, even the buttons are pressed strange. It is also impossible to adjust the seat belts, the position of the steering column is not configured. There are already doubts arise, and whether the car is even more modest money that the manufacturer asks for him.

The driver has to control the machine with a simple and slippery wheel, navigate the dashboard consisting of three dials, the intensity of the backlight in which is adjustable, which is already something. The central console has a standard audio system on its territory, which supports radio, CD discs, and also allows you to connect USB. The first row does not shine in space, because even people with growth for 190 centimeters will be comfortable here.

In the trim of seats, artificial skin is used, which was somewhat surprised in the good sense of the word. The rear sofa is not bad, has a large pillow. But he is focused still for two people, although FAW V5 2014 2015 is declared as a five-seater sedan. If you wish, you can sit in the threesome, only a person in the middle will interfere with the protrusion on the seat pillow itself, as well as the central tunnel of the transmission.

But landing on the back row causes respect. Although the doors are relatively small, for their class their size is sufficient. The pillow is highlighted high, and the front-row chair is located on a decent distance from the floor, opening a sufficient space to place the legs in this opening. Plus, we note the tall and even ceiling, get the top to which it will be difficult to even a high person. Well, for this you have to join at least.

A slightly ill-conceived was a baggage compartment. No, in itself it has 420 liters of free space. But this is all. The rear row of the chairs can not be folded. Consequently, the luggage compartment is limited to the standard volume.

Equipment

But in terms of configuration, the Fav B5 car managed to rehabilitate to their shortcomings in the interior. In the Russian market, the car is offered in two versions of the configuration, which, by the way, are fixed. That is, to take the basic version and complement it with some chips a more advanced configuration will not work.

But already in the Comfortable version playing the role of basic, you will receive:

• alloy wheels for 14 inches
• fabric salon
• two front airbags
• eBD and ABS Security Systems
• electric power steering
• basic audio system for 4 speakers
• power windows on all side doors
• mirror electric drive, gas tank trough and trunk lids
• air conditioning, central locking and Du.

At the same time, the version of Deluxe allows you to get not so many additional options. In addition, you will not call them mandatory and necessary. One way or another, in this version of the configuration to your car FAW V5 will be added:

1. moldings performed in body color
2. rear parkingRonik
3. leather interior decoration.

That's all. These options for equipping can offer a company in its budget sedan B5.

Price

We will immediately move to the Russian value of the machine, since the prices of the manufacturer's homeland is unlikely to interest any of you.

So, for the basic version of the model, be prepared to give 390 thousand rubles. If you want yourself a leather interior, rear parking sensors and moldings, then pay twenty thousand and give 410 thousand rubles for the richest configuration For the Russian market.

Specifications

Pack us with a variety of power units The manufacturer is not going. But let's talk about the other first.

It is worth noting that the car received the suspension suitable for our roads. Even in the areas where the road leaves much to be desirable, the car is calm, behaves confidently, swallows pits well. What you need to our car enthusiasts. And in general, in Technical Plan, Fav B5 looks good.

• As for the motor, then there is a non-alternative 1.5-liter gasoline unit, which issues 102 horsepower power and 135 nm of torque. Works in a pair with a mechanical five-speed gearbox.

As a result, the curb mass of the machine is 995 kilograms. In the company with a motor acceleration from place to hundreds takes 11.5 seconds, and the maximum speed can reach up to 180 kilometers per hour. According to passport data, the average consumption is 5.6 liters. Nevertheless, the reviews of the owners say that in fact, consumption is about 7-8 liters in a combined cycle.

Output

It can be said that even a relatively attractive price of 400 thousand rubles looks overwhelmed for the car FAW V5 2014. Frankly, would reduce the manufacturer cost, the number of people willing to acquire such a machine would be much more. Too many options for choosing in the segment of budget sedans so that the buyer's choice fell on it.

In general, for trying to praise the company FAW. Although not modern design, but still a good, interesting, classic for sedan. Salon, despite the bad assembly, after all, in terms of comfort, it allows you to speak positively. Yes, and the motor at 102 horsepower, as it turned out, quite alive and frisky, allows you to feel confident on the highway and under overtakers.

So in the end, you can put the car with a plus with a plus and hope that the next attempt of the Chinese automaker will be even better, and the pricing policy is smarter.

The next Chinese car FAW V5 appeared in the Russian Federation in 2012. Wide advertising companies were foreshadowed, which positioned it is not different as over the equipped budget class. Partially this statement was confirmed.

Today we will try to discuss not only significant design decisions, but also consider the technical structure of the machine, which problems will be touched by the future owner.

We will understand which FAW V5 parts are inaccessible, and what parts for FAW V5 are suitable from other models and which it is. Also at the end, a footnote will be made to the test drive FAW V5 and the opinions about FAW V5 and reviews in the photo.

Exterior

According to appearance, this is a classic Chinese Chinese segment, in such a class they are distingurable even from their direct competitors. Stupil, despite the quite modern style, which is generally characteristic only by models from the Middle Kingdom.

According to external parameters, the machine symbolizes itself as an ordinary sedan, with rounded shapes. The basis was taken at once a few cars, it is European, most likely Volkswagen and Japanese. The front part will delight unique details on optics only, it is its own development, both for forms and equipping. Otherwise, everything is usually no emptying, ordinary and calm design, without bright and memorable moments.

The silhouette of FAW V5 in the photo is more attractive, something "front" or feed, similar to the Swedish models, especially this is noticeable on the roof of the roof, the building behind the glazing, as well as the bumper sinks.

The feed is like a Solyanka, represents the exposition of several styles at once. Optics Here in a complete copy with Subaru, the only one somewhere corrected the shape and size so that there was no obvious plagiarism. The bumper is similar to such as the second "Solaris", the lid of the trunk, something among Mitsubishi and Subaru. The fitting of body spare parts is not bad, but in some cars, even from the factory, the wide gaps of spare parts were viewed, especially in the rear.

Interior

Salon inspires calm, there are no flawed designer motives, everything is decorated in an attractive form. Perhaps a few archaic and isolated. It surprises more that the assembly interior is almost perfect, if in other models from the same manufacturer it is found that the salon has screens, big gaps, bugs, they are not encountered here with these problems.

By the way, not bad equipment and on extra. Materials, such as mats, rugs were already in the database, and not needed to pay extra.

Speedometer panel in bright blue light, with a pleasant backlight without blinding cheap LEDs. The miniature BC is available, it was placed under a large "well", but in general the deflectors themselves, responsible for the main indicators. The steering column is simple, there is no functional on it, in the form of the usual, three spokes, but not to say that it is just fashionable.

The main console of Fav B5 is decorated in a two-storey style, a separate standard block with a radio tape recorder, a deflector, and a separate panel with climate settings. Naturally, you don't have to talk about a full climate. There is no tunnel as such, there is a regular block with a handle of a gearbox and a "handler".

Seat, as for a budget class with a bad structure, in any case, the profile is viewed, it is not so obvious, but still there. There is enough space in the back, even the tunnel does not interfere, is most surprising that the salon is spacious, there is a lot of space. In general, I liked that the interior is not badly decorated in terms of ergonomics, does not affect the condition even a convergent roof.

Specifications

If you compare FAW V5 and the technical characteristics of it, as the flagship model of the concern, are quite pleasant will be surprised. Let the engine are offered and one, but still joint development with the Japanese, gave fruit. According to the motor, there is no significant drawbacks, there is quite a resource and living unit, the reviews of the owners on Fav B5 are generally positive, with the exception of one, the commentary of the person on the forum, like from the city of Shcherbinka, which "pounded" the motor.

Judging from other comments viewed, it seems to be a single case. One and a half liters of working volume allow it to generate about 102 "horses", not so much, but for such a machine of this above the norm. Judging by the information that the test drive was shown, the speed is maximum up to 180 km.

It should take the first hundred must in 12 seconds, but we only managed to go through 13.4 s., Perhaps a little "tired" motor, or fuel not high-quality "flooded". In a pair, not only "mechanics", but also "automatic", both PPCs on 5-ranges.

If you plan to buy a supported Fav B5, then first will change the oil and oil filter. An oil filter comes from the Russian car, look behind the wedges of the thread. Also pay attention to the fuse, perhaps some problems were. So some argue that there were cases when there was a completely block, damaging the entire line, up to the death of the battery.

According to the characteristics of the suspension, there will be many drawbacks, it is the basic role that the design features are played, which are not conscientious primarily for the conditions in Russia. Disassembly of Fav will never be empty, each owner at least once went there, in the hope of finding analogs of spare parts.

Some components can be chosen even from domestic paws, the same screen is an outdoor corner, stabilizer racks, stabilizer hinge, front stabilizer, oil FAW V5 filter fit from conventional Samar, oddly enough.

The only question is how long the same stabilizer racks will live, considering that a lot of lever that is applied from behind, despite the additional stabilizer crossbar, is quite unreliable, and not one set of spare parts will be changed. I am glad that replacing any spare parts for Fav B5 do it yourself is not a problem.

Configuration and prices

The cost of Fav B5 on official salon reports, in the range of 500,000 rubles. For such a cost, they offer the maximum version. In addition to her, two more modifications will be offered to Russian buyers. The cost of the difference is no more than 45,000 rubles, if it is certainly not alteration and not "secondary", where the price of FAW V5 is usually less.

The minimum base has been trying to add major options such as ABS, drive mirrors, front windows, fog, fastening for armchairs, Cz, air conditioning.

The average and topical version, in principle, have an equal type of equipment, the cost will not rise to 485,000 and 500,000, respectively, will receive in the description still heating the rear window, pillows, sd radio tape recorder, windows of the rear doors, headlight corrector, leather for finishing, start-stop , EBD, Ba, heated mirrors and steering wheel.

In the spring, two thousand thirteenth in the Russian market started sales of the compact Chinese sedan FAW V5, which in the model line took place on the step above.

Externally, Fav V5 turned out to be very unscrewed, but I won't call it terrible. A typical state budget with an inconspicuous design, but in the cabin the car looks much more interesting and solid.
