The Sobol family of compact light-duty trucks appeared in 1998 and included minibuses of several modifications - GAZ-2310 flatbed and vans.

New Universal Model

"Sobol" is a separate, independent development of the GAZ design bureau. If you do not take into account the external similarity with the Gazelle, then otherwise this is a car of a completely different class, with a different specific application. The carrying capacity of the Sobol is 500 kg less than that of the Gazelle, and is one ton. But at the same time, as a minibus for transporting passengers in urban areas "Sobol" is preferable, the car is more economical, convenient and compact.

Sable and Gazelle have a high degree of unification, almost complete interchangeability of the cabin, engine, clutch and gearbox. Headlights, windows, mirrors and door handles are also interchangeable. This significantly increases the repairability of both vehicles.

Main parameters

"Sable" is distinguished by its original frame with spars, front suspension (double wishbone independent on ball bearings), rear suspensionon fundamentally different springs, less rigid, but with a large margin of safety. The Sobol has modernized brakes, the front discs are much larger in diameter than the Gazelle, the rear brakes are drum brakes.

comfortable standard. And the minibus "Lux" for six seats completes the line.

Lineup

Light trucks are not produced only as carriers of building materials. Part of the cars is intended for the transportation of passengers along urban routes and suburban lines within two hundred kilometers. The machine we are considering is produced according to the same scheme. Small-tonnage trucks of the Sobol brand are already familiar on construction sites, on city streets, and on suburban highways.

A separate category is Gaz-2310 (vans). These machines have a different specialization, they are universal carriers and therefore everything necessary for the participation of the machine in the construction project is concentrated in the body. And if there are no construction tasks, then the car is used as a transport for transporting small consignments of goods. In this case, the cargo is next to a team of movers, who are comfortably seated on two rows of comfortable seats.

GAZ-2310: specifications

Weight and dimensions:

• vehicle length - 4840 mm;
• width - 2075 mm;
• height - 2200 mm;
• wheelbase - 2760 mm;
• track - 1700 mm;
• ground clearance, ground clearance - 150 mm.

Three-seater van with a carrying capacity of 770 kg has the following dimensions: 2460/1830/1530. Loading and unloading of the van is carried out through the side sliding door and rear swing doors. Loading height does not exceed 700 mm. The luggage compartment is just over one and a half meters high.

The back of the Sobol, as well as the interior, looks more like a minivan than a truck. And although its length is 660 mm less than the Gazelle, the cabin parameters have not changed, visually the interior space remains just as spacious.

The interior of each "Sable", released in the cargo-passenger format, is equipped with a deaf dividing wall. Thus, passengers are isolated from the cargo hold, which means they do not have to breathe cement dust or other harmful building fractions.

Power plant

Several types of engines are installed on cars of the Sobol family. These are four-cylinder, in-line, gasoline engines with a working volume of 2.3 liters (ZMZ-4066.10 brand) and a power of 150 hp. when rotating 5,200 rpm. Also, at the request of the buyer, the car is equipped with a two-liter turbodiesel (GAZ-560), with a capacity of 100 hp. at 4500 rpm with microprocessor controlfuel supply. The motor allows you to reach speeds of up to 140 km / h. Fuel consumption is between 9.5 and 11 liters per 100 km.

Initially, the engines of the Zavolzhsky Motor Plant worked under the hood of the Sobol. After modernization, cars began to be equipped with Cummins engines. This turned out to be an additional argument in favor of buying a truck. Then the car began to be offered in an all-wheel drive version. At the same time, such qualities as maneuverability, energy intensity of the running gear, low price and many other offers that looked like bonuses were present.

Buyers dismantled compact trucks also because the loading platform of the car was underestimated, which is very convenient if the car is operated at construction sites. Loading only requires a forklift, no cranes or hoists.

It soon became clear to consumers that they had in their hands a very efficient, reliable, convenient and inexpensive truck that was ready to work around the clock. Sales have increased. There was no question of spare parts, since they were in any assortment and were relatively inexpensive. The repairability of the car was high, the driver could do many operations himself.

Transmission

The engines are equipped with a five-speed manual transmission. And this is another plus that speaks in favor of the truck.

Chassis

Front suspension - double wishbone, independent, with gas shock absorbers and anti-roll bar.

Rear suspension - dependent, on longitudinal semi-elliptical springs, with hydraulic shock absorbers and anti-roll bar.

Brakes

The system is a double-circuit hydraulic, equipped with a vacuum booster and a critical drop in liquid level sensor. Front brakes - ventilated disc, rear - drum. For an additional fee, the car is equipped with an ABS system.

Overview

Until 2006, all 2310 GAZ cars from the Sobol family were produced in small batches until their conveyor was connected to the Gazel production line. Double assembly using standardized parts dramatically increased the production of "Sobol". Russian buyers began to receive 2310 GAZ vehicles in sufficient quantities.

However, the need for light trucks continued to grow, since it was at that time that restrictions on entry into the central regions of Moscow for cars of this class were lifted. The carrying capacity of the 2310 GAZ vehicle, which was 900 kg, fully corresponded to the permitted weight. And this pleased the owners.

In 2010, all 2310 GAZ cars were restyled and named "Sobol-Business". In the new guise, compact trucks looked much better, all restrictions were lifted, and Sobol began to serve the center of Moscow.

Cost

Currently "Sable", the price of which has always heldwithin reasonable limits, costs about 750 thousand rubles. This allows you to purchase it without much effort. In whatever modification the Sable is sold, the price will be acceptable in any case.
