Chevrolet-Evanda: description and specifications of the car

Chevrolet Evanda is a mid-size D-Class sedan, produced serially from 2000 to 2006. The car became the successor of the obsolete "Leganza". Many now will be indignant - what relation does "Chevrolet Evanda" have to the South Korean "Deu"? The answer is simple - Evanda was developed by Korean engineers (and they in turn worked closely with Daewoo Motors). In the domestic market, this car was sold under the name "Daewoo Mangus". In 2006, it was replaced by a more modern model of Chevrolet Epica. But the car is still popular. What has Chevrolet Evanda gained? Reviews and a review of the car - later in this article.

Design

The exterior of the car resembles a more budgetary Lacetti. Nevertheless, the machine looks like an attractive present for its colleague. Cars Chevrolet Evanda were issued with the expectation of the American market - it is in the USA that they can be found most often. Therefore, the design of the car is "Americanized" - long overhangs and a wide "muzzle". The headlights are slightly extended back. Later this "chip" is used on "Epic", only in full. The hood is rather embossed. "Chevrolet Evanda" can claim a business class. Especially effectively, the car looks in black. Tuning "Chevrolet Evanda" is not required - this model looks worthy already "in stock". The only thing that can be changed is the disks. Arches allow you to fit wide wheels with a diameter of 17 inches. Tuning "Chevrolet Evanda" on this can be completed. The machine is arranged very well and looks good even without tinting. On the basis of "Evanda" was created and "Epic". On the side, these two machines are almost identical. In front of the difference only in optics and bumpers.

As for the dimensions, the machine is quite massive. The length of the body is 4.78 meters, width - 1.81 meters, height - 1.44 meters. Even in black, which visually reduces space, the machine is wide enough and long. Ground clearance - 16.5 centimeters. The machine normally withstands our roads. However, it does not do well with "diagonals". On dirt roads, you should be careful. There is a risk of catching a bumper.

Interior

Inside, the car looks no less prestigious. The interior design is decorated with inserts "under the tree". Very well-designed color scheme - light bottom and dark torpedo. Steering wheel - four-spoke, with airbag, can be adjusted in height. By the way, in the photo above - the emblem of "Daewoo". But the "export" version was no different from the "Mangus". The instrument panel has three separate wells. The visor is long enough and extends all the way to the edge of the center console. This visually adds free space. The door handles are finished in chrome. At the bottom of the door cards there is a highlight - it is also a "gauge" for drivers passing by. The latch of the ignition lock is in the torpedo, and not on the steering column (such a hint of a premium class). Between the front seats you can watch the leather armrest. It is wide enough. Reviews say that the elbows of the driver and the passenger are not touching it. There are places in the car both front and back. By the way, let's move to the second row of seats. Here we can see light leather visions and an additional armrest. There are a lot of different niches in the car. They are in the front armrest, the back, on the backs of the seats. Door cards are equipped with factory speakers. The music in the car is quite high quality, although there is no USB connector in the car stereo. But there is a CD-changer for six discs. On the back row there are as many as three head restraints. The backrest is not adjustable, however it is comfortable to sit behind.

No less spacious here and the trunk. Its volume is 430 liters. The loading line is very low, which is an indisputable advantage.

Specifications

"Chevrolet Evanda" has a fairly wide range of powertrains. However, there is not a single diesel engine in the line. All units have gasoline electronic injection and in-line arrangement of the cylinders. The smallest in the lineup is a two-liter 4-cylinder unit for 116 forces. Also there is an aggregate of 131 horsepower with the same volume. The top in this "troika" is the 148-strong motor for 2 liters. And finally, the flagship unit is a 2.5-liter petrol unit for 155 horsepower. What is remarkable is that all 6 cylinders are also arranged in a row. This greatly complicates the maintenance (in addition, this motor is located transversely to the body). Based on time-tested Opel engines.

Dynamics, consumption

The dynamics of all the engines is not bad. The average 131-horsepower engine accelerates this one-and-a-half sedan to hundreds in 9.8 seconds. The maximum speed is from 190 to 206 kilometers per hour. As for fuel consumption, it is not much different in the 2 and 2.5-liter version. In the first case, the average flow is 10 liters, in the second - 0.5 liters more. On the road you can easily meet the G8. In the urban mode, these units consume 13 liters of fuel exactly.

CPR

As for transmissions, there are several of them:

• Five-step mechanic.
• Four-mode automatic.

The flagship 2.5-liter version was manned exclusively with an "automatic". By the way, the automatic transmission was developed jointly with the engineers of Mercedes-Benz. The box is quite reliable and fully withstands all torque. The suspension is built on a classical scheme. Front here is "McPherson", behind - mnogorychazhka. Suspension perfectly fulfills irregularities. Especially it is felt on high-profile factory rubber (205 to 65). The car does not enter the corners. "Evanda" is quite maneuverable. The brakes are pretty responsive. Regardless of the configuration, the front mounted disc ventilated mechanisms. Behind them could be drums. But there are also modifications where unventilated disks are installed. Steering - Rack type. Already in the basic configuration there was a hydraulic amplifier, air conditioning and power windows.

Chevrolet - prices

Since "Evanda" ceased to exist in 2006, it is only possible to find it on sale in the secondary market. For the year 2004, they ask 300 to 400 thousand rubles. On average, versions with an automatic box cost 30 thousand rubles more. What is noteworthy, there are more machines on the "machine" than on the "mechanic". But in the maintenance of automatic transmissions is unpretentious - they are noted by the owners. For the latest models of 2006, they ask for 450-500 thousand rubles. But Chevrolet prices are constantly declining. Now at this cost, you can find the basic "Epic" on a manual transmission and two-liter engine.

Conclusion

So, we found out what Chevrolet Evanda has design, prices and technical characteristics. To date, Evanda is an affordable alternative to the old Mercedes. In terms of service, Chevrolet will be much cheaper. Reviews are noted for cheap and affordable parts. "Chevrolet Evanda" relatively smooth ride and handling is not far behind the D-class competitors, even despite the 15-year-old age. Therefore, it should be considered as an option for buying "for everyday use".
