TagAZ S190: specifications and photos

Probably one of the most successful inventions and developments made in the field of automotive industry is the creation of an off-road vehicle. A real all-terrain vehicle has increased cross-country ability on bad roads and is able to pass where there are no roads at all. These advantages are very important for Russia, but not everyone can buy a real off-road car. But this will no longer be the case - TagAZ C190 appeared on the domestic market. This is a completely domestic development, sales of which started in 2011. The cost of this "rascal" is relatively small. And this means that it will be accessible to everyone.

History

At the end of 2000 Taganrog Automobile Plant signed a contract with the Chinese concern Jianghuai Automobile to supply and sell to Russia an off-road car JAC Rein. The car in its characteristics resembled the Land Cruiser Prado 150 and 120. After some time, the leadership of the domestic car manufacturer decided to launch the release of JAC Rein with a slightly different design and under its own name - TagAZ C190. It must be said that JAC Rein itself is practically a copy of the first generation Hyundai Santa Fe. By the way, the launch of the Russian-Chinese SUV started at the same time with Santa Fe. The assembly of the Korean crossover was carried out immediately, on a parallel conveyor.

Sales start

Automobile TagAZ S190 appeared on the market in the form of two limited lots as early as in May 2011. In October the SUV started to be sold in larger lots - the purchase could be made at the majority of the official dealers of the plant. The price started from 699 thousand rubles. This very much attracted the attention of motorists to the SUV. And pay attention is on that. For the specified sum the manufacturer offers the all-wheel drive car with the raised passableness, a good complete set, the spacious luggage carrier, the interior with sufficient capacity, equipped with the advanced electronic systems.

Exterior

If you look into the publication of the press service of the TagAZ plant, it was indicated that the management of the plant decided not only to change the Chinese name to TagAZ S190. To the question came more complex. It was decided to carry out a small restyling of the appearance of this model. Now we can say with confidence that the SUV has only benefited. The car even now looks quite stylish, expensive and flashy.

Domestic designers made changes to the front and rear bumper. In the design, emphasis was placed on the smooth, curved lines. The radiator grille has been chrome plated before, but after restyling it has significantly increased. Also on it were placed a large brand logo. The front fog lights increased, while their shape was retained. Rear xenon optics now began to look even more spectacular. And besides, the car was much easier on TagAZ. I had to get rid of the whole eight parts of the lower body kit. So, they threw away the door aprons and moldings.

If there are TagAZ C190 and JAC Rein next to each other, there will be practically no differences between them. The wheel arches are wide and even plump, the overall dimensions are quite large, the front part looks very expressive. The roof with rails also looks spectacular. In the stream and on the highway the car will stand out strongly against the background of both passenger cars and heavy-eminent SUVs. This is an excellent choice for those who prefer minimalism in automotive design, like a strict style without a huge amount of bright details.

Equipment

In the salon, as, indeed, in the exterior, everything is designed according to the principle "there is everything that can be needed." There is a reliable climate control system, an audio system in the form of a radio and CD player, a USB connector for connecting USB flash drives. Between the keys for controlling the music and the climate system are the hours. Also, the car is equipped with a heating system for mirrors. There are power windows, central locking, a hatch and even a light sensor. The car is safe enough - there is a full-time ABS, built-in EBD system and even parktronic. Because of such a rich equipment people buy TagAZ C190. The owners' comments show that they can not find such equipment for such money on the Russian market.

Interior

The center panel is slightly pushed forward. Very large deflectors, like all other parts, are installed symmetrically.

The instrument panel is highlighted in three colors. All shades are chosen so as not to irritate the driver. The steering wheel is finished in natural leather and has a height adjustment. Unfortunately, there are no more steering wheel settings, and are they needed? After all, the new TagAZ C190 is an off-road car. There are airbags - there are two of them. One for the driver, the other for the front passenger. The driver's seat has eight adjustments. Sitting in it will be convenient for people of any complexion. On the doors of the car there are air ducts.

The rear row easily and seamlessly folds, and in a ratio of 60/40. Not only children can sit comfortably behind them. The volume of the trunk is 780 liters. This is quite enough for any cargo. Also there is a reticule for securing the load. The floor in the trunk is flat, and under it there are roomy organizers for all sorts of trivia. There is a full reserve, fixed on the bottom of the machine. Get the goods from the trunk is very convenient.

Specifications

The car is sold in a single package, but with a fairly powerful engine. The SUV is equipped with a 16-valve four-cylinder engine with a volume of 2.4 liters.

The capacity is 136 liters. from. At 5500 rpm. Very good characteristics TagAZ S190 has, especially for a car of this class - you need to consider that this is an SUV. The engine fully meets the requirements of environmental standards "Euro-4". He is interested in a special system of air intake. Due to it, power is greatly increased and efficiency is increased. The motor is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox.

Dynamics, consumption

The SUV can accelerate to hundreds of places in 16 seconds. As for the maximum speed, it is 170 kilometers per hour. Therefore, for those who like speed and dynamics, the TagAZ C190 is not suitable. However, for quieter drivers this car is quite suitable. The fuel consumption in the mixed cycle is about 13 liters. It's hard to say that this is an economical car. But if you consider that the tank can fill in the 92nd gasoline, then this is a pretty good performance for SUV S190 SUV. Specifications fully correspond to this flow rate.

Four-wheel drive

Naturally, since this is an SUV, it is necessarily equipped with a four-wheel drive system. If the front wheels slip, then almost immediately the rear axle comes into play. It has a self-locking differential.

The ground clearance of 21 cm provides good cross-country ability. Advantages of automatic four-wheel drive are also noticeable on asphalt. By car you can safely get out into the wild without fear that it will get stuck.

Suspension

The McPherson system is installed in front. A double-lever system with stabilizers was used behind it. Engineers have worked hard on tuning the suspension. Its course is very smooth. Suspension literally "swallows" any irregularities.

It's enough to see what the owners of TagAZ S190 off-road vehicles write. Reviews are mostly positive, although this car is not in high demand. The work of the suspension is written only positively. The design is very thought out. Although due to the high center of gravity the jeep is very steep. Sharp maneuvers - clearly not his fad.

Competitors in the market

Among the similar models in the market can be identified "Renault Daster", "Cherry Tigo", "UAZ Patriot". This is all SUVs and crossovers worth up to 700 thousand rubles. But the price is not the main thing. When choosing a car of this class, the first thing they pay attention to is the power section, safety, trunk capacity. Of course, design is also important. The off-road car TagAZ is doing well.

Features of operation

When buying this car should rely on feedback from owners. Many accent attention to the quality of the assembly. Reviews say that it is specific here. This moment causes a lot of questions in the process of operation. This also includes a fairly high fuel consumption. And, finally, if we consider that there are no alternatives for engines, then in the event of a breakdown, significant problems can arise. Judging by the reviews, on some specimens there are problems in the operation of the rear optics.

There are some small questions about the work of electronics. To solve this problem, you have to contact the authorized dealer. However, this car is still bought. For this price, such equipment is difficult to find - in many competitor models with such a price there is no electric mirrors, there is no immobilizer. Sometimes the car does not have enough power. But for the amount for which TagAZ is sold, you can close your eyes to it. For this money, you can even forgive the build quality in the car's interior.
