Information on repair and maintenance of Chevrolet Lanos cars electronically
Chevrolet Lanos is a subcompact car produced by the Ukrainian Zaporozhye Automobile Building Plant for export to the Russian market. The history of the model began in 1997 under the Daewoo brand after the official debut at the March Geneva Motor Show.
However, in 2002, with the entry of Daewoo into the General Motors concern, the car was produced under license agreements in various countries of the world and sold under other brands, including Chevrolet.
In 2005, General Motors signed a contract with ZAZ for the supply of Ukrainian-assembled Lanos models for the Ukrainian and Russian markets, which will be imported duty-free thanks to an international agreement and sold through the GM dealer network.
Cars have been officially delivered to Russia since 2005 under the name Chevrolet Lanos with a sedan body, a 1.5 liter engine and a five-speed manual gearbox. The car was a licensed analogue of a slightly modernized sedan with the designation T-150.
The Chevrolet brand was used to effectively compete with the Renault Logan. After the agreement between GM and UkrAvto expired, namely from July 1, 2009, the model is sold in Russia as ZAZ Chance with different body options.
At that time Chevrolet Lanos in Russia took the third place in the list of the most popular cars of foreign brands. Thanks to its reliable design and high maintainability, this car has become a "popular" car not only in Russia, but also in many countries of the former USSR.
Under the hood of the Chevrolet Lanos, you can find a 1.5-liter 8-valve gasoline engine that produces 86 horsepower. The maximum speed of the car can be 172 km / h. True, the car does not have a special “nimbleness”, it takes 12.5 seconds to accelerate from zero to 100 km / h.
The suspension is reliable and cheap to operate (given that suspension repair parts are inexpensive). The front suspension in the car is independent, and the rear is semi-independent (this is the best option for domestic roads).
The interior of the Chevrolet Lanos is compact, but comfortable, trimmed with neutral gray plastic, plus the build quality is at a good level. Wide doors and an elongated body profile give the car solidity, and the black edging of the window openings give the Chevrolet Lanos image clarity and integrity.
The main disadvantages of the car include poor sound insulation, low corrosion resistance and simple equipment. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle is about 7 liters. This, of course, is not small, but given the cost of the car and the cost of parts, this drawback is not particularly significant.
