A small car does not mean a toy at all. For example, I - a healthy guy with a height of 185 cm - can easily fit in the Ravon R2 driver's seat, I don't cling to the ceiling with my head and even find a place for my left leg that is not used. Yes, the Spark in its current version is offered only with an automatic transmission, with an eye on the potential audience.

Freakmobile

As you know, the R2 is nothing more than the Chevrolet Spark T300 or Daewoo Matiz in its third generation. The machine at one time turned out to be successful and was replicated by GM all over the world - from Korea and India to the States and Canada.

And what if I were a student at that time - I would definitely pay attention to Spark. But it didn't work out. And not only me. Domestic youth turned out to be either very poor or spoiled by used cars of a higher class. She was not attracted by the flashy colors (even now there are 11 to choose from), or the outboard tidy in a motorcycle style, or the interior trim in body color. It would seem that for one or two people such happiness is higher than the roof, besides, this "mini" was equipped with both "mechanics" and "automatic", and did not differ much in appetite.

By the way, what kind of "machine" is there? Quite a classic 4-speed Aisin AW 80-40LE, paired with an 85-horsepower 1.2-liter 16-valve B12D2 Uzbek assembly. The couple, by the way, are extremely noisy - the not particularly euphonious howl of the power unit drowns out everything during intensive acceleration - both the radio and the noise from the arches. Moreover, it is not only the engine that makes noise, but the bundle - if you press down the "gas" in neutral, the sound will be completely different. Well, okay - after all, small cars are rarely soundproofed properly - take the same premium Smart, ...

Since comfort is objectively a little disappointing, maybe everything is great with economy? Alas, but once again, in practice, I confirmed the well-known thesis that the working volume of the engine is not directly related to its appetite. Fuel consumption in creeping traffic jams is still about "ten", on the highway - about 8 liters per hundred. But with parking, especially if this is a courtyard of a sleeping area, it has become much easier: both the dimensions allow, and the R2 parking sensors are not deprived.

Declared fuel consumption per 100 km

What is another advantage? So the price is the same! It starts at 439,000 rubles for the 2016 model (509,000 for the top version), and for this money the car is equipped with almost all the bells and whistles that are in "adult" cars. However, the design, despite the 8-year age, is quite relevant.

Almost like an adult

Yes, while in the twilight I found the seat heating buttons, driven under the center console and not illuminated, as well as the window regulator keys, the interior was already warmed up. But at the time of the search, 4 airbags, an air conditioner, an on-board computer with a separate block of keys for searching and controlling it, a telephone Bluetooth module and many pleasant trifles in the form of slots for coins to the left of the steering wheel, cup holders, shelves and compartments were found: as in the doors and on the front panel. The workmanship, as was the case with Chevrolet before, is decent, hard plastic in this class of cars is not taken into account.

The interior design, what can I say, is avant-garde, but does not detract from the merits of the Ravon R2 interior. It also contains the control buttons for the telephone and audio on the steering wheel, which is much more comfortable to grip than in the grip, electrically adjustable mirrors, illumination in the visors, and finally, "carbon" inserts on the center console - evidence of a not cheap product.

It is clear that one should not wait for such a modest amount of leather for armchairs and even velor, but the upholstery materials are clearly not Uzbek-made, but high-quality and modern. They are not ashamed to show either your own passion or random guests. Yes, with a base of 2,375 mm, there is very little rear space, only for two, and even then for small passengers.

I would not dare to seat children there at all. If you open the fifth door and look at the trunk, there is practically no volume in it. The slightest blow to the back is guaranteed to hit the sofa passengers. But this is not a verdict at all, but just a statement of the fact of the construction. After all, millions of people around the world safely drive Smart Fortwo, Citroen C1 and other little ones.

The nuances of the ultra-small class

The aforementioned roar ends quite quickly, as soon as the arrow of the analog speedometer crosses the 50 km / h mark, and the “automatic” switch to a higher gear. Noise, by the way, can be minimized by using the accelerator softer. At the same time, the subjective effect of fast acceleration, typical of any "mini", will not go anywhere.

Brief technical characteristics

Dimensions, mm (L / W / H): 3 640/1 597/1 522 Power: 85 hp from. Maximum speed: 161 km / h Acceleration 0-100 km / h: 12.4 sec Transmission: 4-speed, automatic Drive: front

Fuel tank volume

Ravon R2 is light enough - 1,054 kg with a driver and a 35-liter tank, while its suspension is stiff, and the engine power is even abundant. On a dry and flat road, you can play pranks, but in winter it is not worth pursuing passport 12.4 to a hundred. There is no ESP stabilization system on it, and with an unloaded rear part, you can send the baby to skid with an imprudent maneuver in a split second.

The electric power steering is well tuned to maneuver effectively in city traffic. Small 15-inch wheels 165x60 perfectly obey the slightest turn of the steering wheel. But this is still a smooth road.

On the slightest potholes, the Ravon R2 jumps, changing its trajectory. Particularly unstable is the rear with a semi-independent beam, and the front MacPherson strut is too rigid. The height of 1,522 mm, which is considerable for such a short base, does not add stability either.

You can minimize some shortcomings in movement using additional automatic transmission modes. For example, in "I" mode it is more dynamic to accelerate or slow down - 4th gear is blocked, and in "L" with blocking also 3rd - crawl along a snow-covered hill or, without resorting to brakes, move off when it is completely slippery. They are in the car, as in the days of Chevrolet: crisp, short pedal travel and efficient.

The attractive and stylish Ravon P2 with a wedge-shaped silhouette and pronounced body edges looks elegant and modern.

On the exterior of the model, the following elements attract attention:

• Front bumper... Front bumper with integrated air intake painted in body color.
• Radiator screen... The massive radiator grille with two horizontal chrome strips is adorned with the brand logo in the center.
• Headlights... Large elongated head optics are organically complemented by round fog lights.
• Door handles... The camouflaged rear handles add elegance to the car.
• Rear view mirrors... The body-colored side mirrors are electrically adjustable and heated.
• Spoiler... There is a neat aerodynamic spoiler on the tailgate.
• Rear optics... Solid tail lights lend solidity to the model.
• Wheel disks... In the top-end Elegant configuration, the car is equipped with original 14 ”light-alloy wheels.

Interior

Despite its compact dimensions, the new R2 has a fairly spacious cabin that can easily accommodate five people of average build. The upholstery is made of durable fabric, harmoniously complemented by plastic elements that imitate carbon and aluminum.

The comfort of the driver and passengers is provided by the following interior details:

• Ergonomic seats... The height-adjustable front seats are heated.
• Multifunctional steering wheel... The three-spoke steering wheel with silver accents and audio control buttons is height adjustable.
• Windshield... The tinted windscreen with sun strip is electrically heated in the wiper rest area.
• Informative dashboard... The intuitive instrument panel houses a large analogue speedometer, LCD monitor and on-board computer.
• Center console... Air conditioning control modules are located on the center console.
• Multimedia system... The audio system with MP3 and Bluetooth support is equipped with USB, AUX, SD card slot and four (or six) speakers (depending on the configuration).

Additional comfort is provided by the places provided for storing personal items: a pocket in the lower part of the center console, three cup holders and a glove box.

Recall that in two thousand and fifteen, the GM concern stopped selling Opel cars in Russia, as well as mass Chevrolet models. And the Daewoo brand was transformed into a new one, under which it was decided to sell a number of Chevrolet and Daewoo models.

Soon after the launch of the Ravon R2 subcompact hatchback, the manufacturer, the GM-Uzbekistan plant, began producing an updated version. In fact, there are not many changes to talk about a full-fledged restyling. Externally, the new version of the car differs by a front bumper with other daytime running lights, a modified radiator grille and a lower air intake grille with larger meshes.

An important "trifle" - the hatchback has a towing eyelet hidden under a round plug. The interior has remained the same, as well as the engine (1.2-liter 16-valve with 86 hp). At the same time, the cost of the car has also changed - upwards. However, the Ravon R2 is still one of the most affordable offers with an “automatic” on the Russian market - the car is equipped with this type of transmission by default.

In the simplest "Comfort" trim, the Ravon R2 hatchback will offer halogen headlights, steel wheels with 155 / 70R13 tires, body-colored bumpers, a rear wiper and rear mudguards. The salon is distinguished by a simple trim made of inexpensive plastic, fabric seat upholstery. By default, the car is equipped with a rev counter, central locking, front power windows, MP3 and USB CD player and two speakers. The second row of seats folds down separately. The more expensive Optimum equipment will offer everything you need - an adjustable steering column, heated electric mirrors, pockets on the backs of the front seats, a remote key, air conditioning, 4 speakers. The exterior in this version is complemented by body-colored mirrors and 155 / 70R14 tires. The Elegant package will add important external differences (roof rails, alloy wheels) and offer more comfort: audio control on the steering wheel, heated front seats, rear power windows, 6 speakers.

The engine used for the Ravon R2 is an Uzbekistan-made S-TEC II gasoline engine with a displacement of 1249 cc and 86 hp. It has a cast-iron cylinder block and an aluminum block head, a timing chain drive, two camshafts and a variable-length intake manifold, a variable valve timing system at the inlet and outlet. Specific power is 11.05 kg / hp. - which is quite good for a "kid". As a result, acceleration from standstill to 100 km / h occurs in 12.4 seconds (remember, here is installed, if not a modern, but reliable hydromechanical 4-speed "automatic" company Aisin). The maximum speed is 161 km / h. The motor complies with Euro-5 environmental standards and consumes 8.2 liters of gasoline per 100 km in the city and 5.2 liters outside the city. The volume of the fuel tank is 35 liters.

The Ravon R2 running gear is typical for a modern urban “inhabitant” - in the front it is an independent McPherson suspension, in the back there is a semi-independent suspension (torsion bar). The vehicle is equipped with ventilated disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. The overall dimensions of this vehicle meet the class requirements: 3640 x 1597 x 1522 mm (L x W x H). The wheelbase is 2375 mm. The turning radius is 4.55 m. The car is considered a five-seater, however, only two can count on a sufficient level of comfort in the back. The hatchback's luggage compartment is modest - only 170 liters (VDA standard), which can be increased to 568 liters with the rear seats folded down.

The safety features included in the basic configuration are anti-lock braking system (ABS), front airbags for the driver and front passenger (passenger with deactivation function), child seat anchorages, three-point seat belts, an additional brake light. Rear parking sensors are available for a surcharge. The Optimum package includes side airbags, the Elegant version also includes curtain airbags, and rear parking sensors are standard equipment. The original version of the third-generation Chevrolet Spark hatchback (M300) received four out of five Euro NCAP stars in 2009.

As a subcompact hatchback, the Ravon R2 has all the advantages for urban use - small size, economy, automatic transmission very convenient for driving in low traffic. The advantages of this car and an affordable price. The power unit is considered quite reliable. Even tall people can comfortably sit in the front seats of the hatchback. But at the rear, the salon is cramped, in addition, the Ravon R2 is characterized by an almost vertical landing. But these features, which can be attributed to disadvantages, are class costs.
