Information on repair and maintenance of Chery A13 cars electronically
Chery A13 are compact cars produced by the Chinese company Chery since 2008, and in the Chinese market they are known as Chery Fulwin 2. The car, which replaced the Chery A15 (Cowin), was first presented at the 2008 Beijing Auto Show.
In addition to production and sales in China, Chery A13 has also been produced in Ukraine since 2011 under license from ZAZ under the name ZAZ Forza. Ukrainian-assembled cars were also exported and sold in Russia under the names Chery Very (hatchback version) and Chery Bonus (3-volume sedan). The car was also built in Iran and sold by Modiran Vehicle Manufacturing under the name MVM 315. In 2014, production also began in Brazil for the South American market, at the Jacarei plant.
The car is offered in liftback and hatchback bodies, as well as in three trim levels: Base, Comfort, Luxury.
This car is front-wheel drive and is equipped with a McPherson front independent suspension with wishbones, hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers and a stabilizer bar. The rear suspension is made in the form of a semi-independent beam with shock absorbers. Disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear.
The Chery A-13 is equipped with two airbags, ABS and EBD systems. There is an indicator on the dashboard to remind you to fasten your seat belts. When parking in urban conditions, the driver is helped by rear parking sensors, which warns of the presence of a dangerous distance to an obstacle.
The facelift version, which debuted at the 2012 Guangzhou Auto Show, features a completely redesigned front end with new headlights, bumpers and front grille. At the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show, a version of the Chery Fulwin 2 Cross crossover was presented, raised and with plastic body protection.
At launch, the A13 was available with a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated 16-valve four-cylinder petrol engine from the Chery Acteco family with a maximum power of 109 horsepower (80 kW) at 6000 rpm and a maximum torque of 140 Nm available at 3000 rpm /min. Maximum speed - 160 km/h.
The exterior of this car impresses with its aggressive and sporty styling. It stands out for its voluminous head optics of an unusual shape, a massive bumper and sidewalls with relief stamping. The dynamic appearance is emphasized by the slightly sloping stern, on which large rear optics are placed, creating a modern and energetic appearance of the car.
The interior of this car is characterized by a lack of architectural frills, providing a modest but efficient space. The black and gray color scheme creates an understated style. Interior materials include hard plastics, square buttons, and round turn signals. The instrument panel is illuminated in red, and the ability to connect a miniUSB device to the radio adds functionality.
The driver's seat is adjustable both horizontally and vertically, and the steering column is adjustable for angle (but not for reach). There's plenty of legroom in the back row, but the low-hanging ceiling may be a problem for tall passengers. The internal space allows the car to be considered as a five-seater, although on long trips it is more comfortable to travel with four.
The luggage compartment provides easy access and has a volume of 370 liters when fully folded. Folding the rear seatbacks (60/40) increases the trunk volume to 1,400 liters.
