"Ravon-Gentra": review and feedback. Ravon Gentra automatic

Before buying a new car, everyone has a question: to buy a car class higher on the "secondary" or from the cabin, but more budgetary. Today, many are afraid to buy a car with hands. Therefore, the choice goes to cars of budget class. One such is the "Daewoo", which was recently renamed "Ravon". In today's article we will consider a car like Ravon Gentra. Reviews, review, specifications, prices and bundling - later in this article.

Design

Owners say that the car is practically not different from the first generation of Lacetti. There are the same slanting lights, smooth body lines and a rounded bumper. The only thing that the manufacturer has finished is the fog lamps and mirrors. Also slightly changed the grille. Even the side moldings are interchangeable with the Lacetti.

In the meantime, the exterior of the "Ravon-Gentra" tricot, tailored in an attractive and rather modern style, as a result of rebranding, acquired only new emblems, without undergoing any changes.

Recall that the design of the machine (and "Gentra" - a direct descendant of "Lacetti") was developed by the Italians. However, "Lacetti" was published in the early 2000's, and the automotive fashion has changed significantly. You can not call this old car. But the design is already "boring". The owners' comments say that in the new model I would like to see a different, more attractive exterior. In the meantime, "Gentra" is produced in this form. As for the sizes, they are not much different from the Chevrolet Lacetti. So, the length of the car is 4.5 meters, width - 1.73 meters, height - 1.45 meters. The length of the wheelbase is 2600 millimeters, which already corresponds to the C-class. By the way, the ground clearance of the car is rather big - 16 centimeters. As the reviews say, the Ravon Gentra perfectly copes with pits on the asphalt road and confidently overcomes bumps on the primer. And this is on standard 15-inch wheels.

Salon

Inside the "Ravon-Gentra" is also not happy with its modernity. A similar design and design of the front panel was used on middle class cars at the beginning of the "zero" years. In addition, Uzbeks used a wooden inset. As noted by the reviews, Ravon Gentra is essentially outdated inside. On the center console - black and white radio without USB support, cable "twists" of the climate system and monochrome hours. The handlebars are four-spoke with small silver inserts at the bottom. The door cards also have wooden trim. Also in the doors (including on the back) are provided speakers and pockets for small things. What are the positive points worth noting in the "Gentre"? As the reviews say, the Ravon Gentra is a fairly spacious car. And it concerns not only the luggage compartment, which can accommodate up to 405 liters of luggage, but also the salon space in general. The rear passengers can comfortably sit on the couch. Also on the back is a fold-out armrest with two coasters. The quality of sound insulation is mediocre. But as the reviews say, Ravon Gentra becomes much quieter after additional veneering.

Specifications

Under the hood is a petrol 4-cylinder engine with a 16-valve timing mechanism. The unit has a working volume of 1.5 liters and develops a maximum output of 107 horsepower. This is the only motor for the Uzbek sedan Ravon Gentra. The owners' comments say that the motor has a relatively good reserve of torque. Up to a hundred the car accelerates in 11.9 seconds. The maximum speed is 180 km / h. As for the gearbox - there are several. Basic versions are completed with a mechanical transmission in five steps. More expensive equipped with a four-band automatic transmission.

What else you need to know about the Ravon Gentra? Reviews of owners report low fuel consumption of the injector unit. On the road the car consumes 5.5 liters of fuel on a mechanical and 6 - on an automatic transmission. In the urban cycle, this parameter increases to 9-10 liters. What else can you say about Ravon Gentra reviews? The machine is pleased with its reliability. Earlier this automatic was used on Chevrolet Cobalt. Therefore, there are no problems with the search for consumables (such as ATP liquid and filters).

Chassis

The machine has the same platform as the Lacetti. Therefore, here is a similar suspension scheme. In front are stands like a MacPherson. Behind - two-link suspension. The machine is operated well - rolls are minimal. Suspension is very energy-intensive. In terms of service "Gentra" - a very cheap car. The reviews say that many elements are interchangeable with Lacetti. Steering - rack and pinion. Already in the basic configuration, the car is equipped with a hydraulic amplifier. The brake system is of disk type (in front of it also ventilated). Finally, in the budget segment, archaic "drums" were abandoned.

Cost and complete sets

In Russia, the car "Ravon-Gentra" is offered in five trim levels. Among them, the basic "Comfort" is available at a price of 550 thousand rubles. Surprisingly, "Ravon-Gentra" in the initial configuration has a good level of equipment. So, this price includes the following set of options:

• Front airbag.
• Electric windows for all doors.
• Heated front seats.
• Immobilizer.
• Hydraulic power amplifier.
• ABS system.
• Fog lights.

As for the audio system, in the "Comfort" version there is only audio preparation for six speakers (one in each door and a pair on the rear shelf). In the maximum configuration "Elegant" available air conditioning, alloy wheels, high-grade radio cassette, heating mirrors, a second airbag (front, for the passenger).

Conclusion

So, we found out what the Uzbek sedan "Ravon-Gentra" has technical characteristics and reviews. In many ways, this car is similar to the Lacetti. Direct competitor of "Genta" is "Hyundai Solaris", "Kia Rio" and "Aveo". These machines are not deprived of good equipment and have similar technical characteristics. However, the Uzbek "Ravon-Gentra" is the most affordable sedan in terms of value. Its main drawback is its obsolete design. Competitors quickly bypassed the novelty in this regard. In order not to lose demand, the manufacturer will have to seriously work with appearance in the future time.
