TagAZ C10: specifications, photos and reviews of owners

The compact sedan "TagAZ S10" differs from other cars produced in Russia. Perhaps because it is based on the Chinese model JAC A138 Tojoy. Of course, in comparison with cars produced by AvtoVAZ, this sedan on our roads is rare, but he also found his buyers. However, everything in order.

Appearance

"TagAZ S10" on the Russian market appeared only in 2011, although the JAC A138 Tojoy was published in 2008. The fact is that these three years the engineers of the Taganrog plant spent for the refinement and improvement of the sedan. It took a long time to adapt the car to Russian conditions. It was necessary to improve the quality of welded seams and enhance corrosion protection.

This car can be called pretty. The classic sedan is decorated with almond-shaped headlights, a neat narrow radiator grille with a logo emblem in the middle and a stylish air duct right under it, along the sides of which are visible "fog lights". The car looks compact due to its size. The length of the sedan is 4 155 mm, width 1 650 mm, and height 1 465 mm.

Interior decoration

Saloon saloon looks ascetic. In the decoration of almost nothing attracts attention. Torpedo made of plastic looks just like a 4-spoke steering wheel. A certain freshness of the interior gives only the silver finish of the components of the instrument panel and the chrome edging of the instruments.

But inside the "TagAZ S10" is quite spacious, despite the modest dimensions. In any case, so assure the people owning this car. The seats are very comfortable, moderately rigid, equipped with pronounced lateral support. Three comfortably-sized passengers can comfortably rest in the rear.

The salon is heated quickly, and in the summer it cools down in seconds. Noise insulation is also good. And many people note the presence of several niches for storing small items and a volume 458-liter trunk. It can safely place four full-sized wheels, and there will still be space left. Under the floor, by the way, is the "reserve", a jack and a balonnik.

By the way, the owners say that let the plastic and the "oak", but it does not creak, which is important. "Crickets" do not appear even after a couple of years of operation.

What's under the hood?

"TagAZ C10" characteristics is very modest. Under the hood of the compact sedan is a 1.3-liter 93-horsepower engine driven by a 5-speed "mechanics". The dynamics of the car is no different. For the speedometer needle to reach 100 km / h, the car takes 16 seconds. The maximum speed is limited to 160 km / h.

However, the small car has a significant plus. And it consists in an economic expenditure. For 100 "urban" kilometers, only 7.7 liters of gasoline goes. And when driving along the highway, the engine consumes less than 5 liters.

By the way, a working air conditioner or heater does not affect fuel consumption. Like the style of riding. Of course, during the run-in period, the engine consumes more gasoline, but after a while the consumption becomes what it is indicated in the passport.

Equipment

The complete set of the sedan "TagAZ S10", like the salon, does not differ in its richness. It includes only the most necessary things. The basic list of equipment includes power steering, power windows, audio system with two USB connectors and speakers, air conditioning.

The version in the expanded complete set is equipped with the alarm system, parktronic, EBD and ABS, and also a driver's airbag. In addition to the above, the list of equipment includes an immobilizer, CZ with remote control and halogen headlights. It is also worth noting that the side mirrors are equipped with electric adjustment, the steering column is adjustable in height, and the rear seats can be folded in a proportion of 60:40.

Yes, the equipment is modest, but even in this, people manage to find a plus. The less electronics - the lower the probability of breakdowns. And indeed it is. Some owners say that during the year of owning the only part that required replacement, was a blown dipped-beam bulb.

Behavior on the road

As it was possible to understand, the car "TagAZ S10" technical characteristics are not the most powerful. But it's not a racing car, it's a city car. People who own this sedan, assure that its engine is distinguished by good turnover. Yes, when starting, the car does not break, but starting with the second gear the engine spins up and the car rushes forward. The sedan is focused on a quiet manner of driving, but if you squeeze gas, it will perfectly cope with the speed.

This is not all that can be told about the "TagAZ C10" reviews. Many people in detail describe everything that concerns the chassis and handling. Those who have something to compare, they say - the suspension on this machine is better than the cars from the concern "AvtoVAZ". Moderately soft, unevenness "swallows", even off-road sedan feels confident. Only on a bad road is better to go, slowing down to the possible minimum. On pits all the same the suspension can be pierced.

The checkpoint is also pleased with its well-coordinated work. Transfers are switched ideally, to miss at transfer of the lever it will not turn out. In general, the car is maneuverable, the steering wheel is light, with it there are no problems in traffic jams, on the highway, in the city and when parking.

About the disadvantages and the price

Disadvantages. They are available for every car. "TagAZ S10", photo of which is given above, is not an exception.

A significant disadvantage of the owners is that it is very difficult to find spare parts for this car. On "native" wheels, for example, there are neither characteristics nor dimensions. And the original details are better not even to look. However, this is not too scary, because it can come up with an analog (fit parts from Hyundai Accent).

What about the price? This is the main reason why TagAZ S10 is in demand. A new car can be bought for 375-410 thousand rubles (the price depends on the equipment). Perhaps, this is one of the cheapest cars on the modern Russian market. If you do not want to take a car in the cabin, then it is worth looking for ads for the sale of used version. Their price starts at altogether from 170-200 thousand rubles. And the car for such money will be in excellent condition.

In conclusion, I would like to say that this sedan is the ideal option for a person who needs a budget, economical, attractive car for driving around the city.
