GAZ Sobol in detail about fuel consumption
Content
The Sobol car has long become a fairly popular model in the markets of the CIS countries. This is due to the excellent technical characteristics, which must be looked at when buying a car. Especially you need to pay attention to the fuel consumption for Sable. It is about all this that will be discussed. But first, let's talk a little about the company that produces this brand of "iron horses", and only then about fuel consumption.
GAZ and Sable
The company begins its history back in 1929. It was then that she entered into an agreement with the "Ford Motor Company", according to which, both companies were to cooperate and help each other in the manufacture of cars. In January 1932, the first NAZ AA cargo iron horse appeared. And already in December of the same year, the company began to assemble the first passenger car GAZ A. It was manufactured according to Ford's drawings. This was the beginning of the great history of GAZ.
| Engine | Consumption (track) | Consumption (city) | Consumption (mixed cycle) |
| 2.9i (petrol) 5-mech, 2WD | Xnumx l / xnumx km | Xnumx l / xnumx km | Xnumx l / xnumx km |
2.8d (turbo diesel) 5-mech, 2WD | Xnumx l / xnumx km | 8.5 l / 100 km | Xnumx l / xnumx km |
During the Great Patriotic War, the company helped the country - it manufactured armored vehicles, all-terrain vehicles and other vehicles needed during hostilities. For this, the plant received a high award at that time - the Order of Lenin.
But it was precisely from its assembly line that one of the most famous, fashionable and prestigious cars of the SRCP, the Volga, rolled off. But time does not stand still. The company is developing, and more and more new models of it appear, which have completely different fuel consumption.
The history of Sobol begins in the nineties. In the fall of 1998, the Sobol series appeared at the Gorky Automobile Plant (it was from the first letters of its name that the well-known abbreviation GAZ turned out). It represents light trucks, vans and minibuses.
What cars are in the described series
The GAZ company produces many different cars with different fuel consumption per hundred kilometers, namely such:
- a van made of solid metal GAZ-2752;
- a small bus "Barguzin" GAZ-2217, which has a door at the back, and the roof is ten centimeters lower;
- truck GAZ 2310;
- GAZ 22171 - a small bus for six and ten seats;
- GAZ 22173 - a ten-seater car, which is often used as minibuses, as well as for any official purposes;
- in winter 2010, the plant carried out restyling of cars, and a new line "Sobol-Business" appeared. In it, many units and assemblies have been modernized along the lines of the Gazelle-Business series.
In 2010, the companies allowed the installation of a turbodiesel, and in the summer this engine began to be installed on the Sobol business series. A car with such an engine will reduce your expenses on fuel consumption.
As you can see, the assortment of the Sable line is extremely large. Therefore, on many forums, Sable owners share their reviews, post a lot of photos of these cars. Note that, since the line is quite wide and varied, the fuel consumption is also different, like other characteristics. So, for example, in the lineup there are cars with a wheel arrangement of 4 by 4 and 4 by 2. And it is absolutely clear that the fuel consumption of the Sobol 4x4 per 100 km differs from the 4 by 2 model.
"Heart" of Sable
The "heart" of an iron horse is called its engine - the main and most expensive part of a car, on which fuel consumption depends. The GAZ company installed different motors on its cars at different times. Which ones, read on in our article.
Until 2006, the following motors were installed:
- ZMZ 402 (their volume was 2,5 liters);
- ZMZ 406.3 (their volume was 2,3 liters);
- ZMZ 406 (their volume was 2,3 liters);
- the GAZ 560 engine (their volume was 2,1 liters) was installed by prior order.
Since 2003:
- injection Euro two: ZMZ 40522.10 (2,5 liters and 140 horsepower);
- turbodiesel GAZ 5601 (95 horsepower).
Since 2008:
- injection Euro three ZMZ 40524.10 and Chrysler DOHC, 2,4 liters, 137 horsepower;
- turbodiesel GAZ 5602 horsepower.
Since 2009:
- UMP 4216.10, 2,89 liter capacity and 115 horsepower;
- turbodiesel with a volume of 2,8 liters and a capacity of 128 horsepower.
Such a variety of Sable engines determines that the cost of gasoline for Sable can also differ. It is thanks to this that the future owner of the car, having familiarized himself with the technical characteristics, including fuel consumption in different situations and with different driving methods, will be able to choose a car that is most suitable for him.
Engine displacement, its power, body size and materials from which it is made - this is not all that you need to pay attention to when buying a Sable car. Fuel consumption is also an important factor. Because if it is too large, the Sobol owner will more often think not about the comfort of his movement and the destination, but about how much it will cost to fully refuel the fuel tank, especially if Sobol's gas consumption is very high.
GAS 2217
Let us consider in more detail the GAZ 2217 model - Sobol Barguzin, including its fuel consumption. Already at the first glance at this car, it becomes clear that not only engineers, but also designers have done a great job on it.
The headlights of the main color became larger and they began to be made oval. The front part of the body has acquired a higher "forehead", and the shape of the body itself has become more rounded. The bumper has also changed visually for the better. And the manufacturer covered the false radiator grille with chrome, which is undoubtedly a huge “plus”, because it not only made it more “pretty”, but also helps protect the grille from corrosion, thanks to this, the service life of this body element will become longer. Also, the design team worked on the appearance of other elements:
- hood;
- wings
- bumper.
And yet, the developers of Sobol worked hard to ensure that the high fuel consumption of the GAZ 2217 did not upset the owner of the car. After all, it depends on fuel consumption how much money you have to spend on fuel.
Briefly about the main thing in GAZ 2217 2,5 l
- body type - minivan;
- number of doors - 4;
- engine volume - 2,46 liters;
- engine power - 140 horsepower;
- injection distributed fuel supply system;
- four valves per cylinder;
- rear wheel drive car;
- five-speed manual transmission;
- maximum speed - 120 km per hour;
- acceleration to 100 km per hour occurs in 35 seconds;
- the average fuel consumption of a GAZ 2217 on the highway is 10,7 liters;
- fuel consumption rate for GAZ 2217 in the city - 12 liters;
- fuel consumption on GAZ 2217 per 100 km with a combined cycle - 11 l;
- fuel tank with a volume of 70 liters.
As you can see, the fuel consumption of the car is not very high. Of course, the actual fuel consumption of the Sobol 2217 may differ from the data indicated above. Since they correspond to the passport data of Sobol Barguzin. Actual fuel consumption may depend on many factors that are not related to the car itself. This is the quality of the fuel, and the driving style of the driver, and the number of traffic jams on the road if you drive around the city.
GAZ is one of the most famous Russian automotive companies.... Her cars are known not only in Russia, but also far abroad. To make their cars competitive, the company is constantly improving its products, therefore, buying a Barguzin Sable, you will receive a domestic car of unsurpassed quality with low fuel consumption.
