Chinese cars, and even more so FAW 6371, are of great interest to the public in the Russian Federation. And everything is justified: the Chinese are stable, they represent quite good cars, their engineers and manufacturers are the most skilled, they do very high quality and inexpensive. You can't say the same about competitors. The choice of Chinese cars is very extensive - even the FAW 6371 model, which will be discussed in this article, has many modifications and options.

Exterior

This is an ordinary van in which you can sleep, eat, travel long distances, or simply transport bulky items. In photographs, it looks larger than in life - often noted in reviews of the FAW 6371. And this all turns out due to the fact that the proportions of the car are rather strange, although they are well chosen. Solidity is his middle name, even despite the small size, like a toy. Model FAW 6371 always wants to give a comforting, endearing name, however, the official one sounds very harsh.

Sizes

According to the reviews of car owners, to understand what it is, you can not just look at the photo. You need to either see it in real life, or give an example on analog machines. However, there are accurate calculations - the volume of the entire luggage compartment that can be made is about three cubes. Load capacity - 520 kilograms. Yes, not as much as the FAW CA 6371, however, very worthy for an ordinary car, albeit a van. It has a uniqueness: it is small. Similar cars are produced in the Russian Federation, however, this is a completely different type of body: a pickup truck. Yes, they can also have a carrying capacity of about five hundred kilograms, and other characteristics are also very similar to the FAW 6371. But the biggest plus, as it became clear from the material of the article, is its size. No competitor car has this.

Benefits

This car can easily drive off-road. The characteristics of the FAW 6371 are such that, even if you drive into the territory where there were only pedestrians before you, and the cars were afraid to "poke around", you can easily pass. Maneuverability, visibility of the car at the level, and with any hit in small holes, you can easily get out of it. This is already due to the angle of rotation of the front wheels. According to reviews, the car fits very well into narrow places in the forest, so you can safely ride barbecue with your family. There is a large window on the back door - so turning back is not at all a problem, and this is a huge advantage that other competing manufacturers do not have. In general, the characteristics of the FAW 6371very good for off-road, and you can easily drive into such territory without fear.

Convenience

The cargo compartment does not open with two doors, like all other vans, but with three. This is very unique and convenient, since you can start doing it without thinking about the place of loading / unloading. Therefore, the machine is very well suited for people who often transport something, go to work with a lot of materials. And everything works like this: the two side doors, as usual, move apart to provide an opportunity to comfortably put your things. In addition, the rear of the car pulls back. The loading height there is about 560 millimeters, and this is a worthy result, which all new cars of 2019 are now showing off. It is worth noting that the convenience is that the FAW 6371 spare parts are very cheap. And if you accidentally damage the doors during loading, or some technical parts fail, you can easily order from China for ridiculous money.

Benefits

In China, the model is perfectly adapted to the city. This is because there are very narrow streets, and this compact car allows you to always and everywhere pass through narrow streets and roads, always maneuverable and quickly change lanes. Therefore, for the people of China, this car is very convenient, and many are thinking about buying this particular van. Everyone who is/was engaged in commercial activities has already bought it. After all, in such work you have to constantly transport some large-sized things. According to the reviews of car owners, this is a solidfun if you're driving a FAW 6371.

Under the hood

When it has already become clear what a car is like in narrow lanes, you should find out what is inside it. Opening the space under the hood, you will not find the most important thing there: the motor. And all because the characteristic of "FAV 6371" is such that it is located under the driver's and passenger's seats, approximately in the middle. Which is very convenient, according to car owners.

Engine layout

There is nothing surprising in the fact that the motor is in a very unusual place. This solution is very popular and not unique to Chinese-made cars. It is worth noting that the rear seatbacks can be folded out, and the cargo space will become even larger. But this is not about that. The bottom line is that, if desired, even two people can sleep there.

How to get to the engine

To do this on the FAW 6371, do the following:

1. Unfasten the locking clips under the seats.
2. Push them back.
3. Disassemble the bolts (floor) and find the engine.

However, there are big problems with this. In this car, any owner will have a load (any). And all the citizens of countries in our populous world, if they own such vans, put it away from the passenger seats. After all, if there is a traffic accident, the cargo will not fly out and will not harm the car or you. Therefore, until you remove everything that interferes at all, you will not be able to find out what the engine looks like inFAW 6371.

Cold season

According to reviews, at this time, the owners of the car are very sick. Even opening the door for a couple of seconds will cause the interior and the entire space in the car to become very cold. Although, it seems, a minute ago you were driving in a warm, comfortable cabin. But … The thing is that there is no thermal insulation, if desired, you need to install it yourself. Therefore, in the harsh Russian winters, it is quite difficult to operate this car, although it is possible. Although the point is not complexity, but the fact that it is unpleasant to have a car so uninsulated from the cold. Well, the price speaks for itself. The car is cheap, so it doesn't have many useful features.

Conveniences for tall people

Despite the fact that many owners of this car are very tall, the cabin feels great. You can sit comfortably due to the fact that this is a van in which there is a lot of space in length. The driving position is vertical, and the roof of the van is very high, the head does not rest. There is not enough space on the sides, because the width of the car is small, since it is all compact in itself. This has its own plus - you don’t need to reach for the buttons, everything is nearby. And the lever that needs to switch gears is generally very conveniently located, there are no questions. According to the reviews of car owners, the switching takes place with a small, rather pleasant sound. Although it can be very annoying for some.

Interior

The interior trim is made in the modern style of the XXI century, and without any unique,individual traditions of China. The dashboard is half made of wood, leather steering wheel, plastic dashboard, very pleasant to the touch. In general, everything looks prestigious, expensive. However, there is a big minus - everything is done rather casually, as if in haste. However, it is noticeable if you look closely.

Dashboard

The combination is made in the best traditions of Chinese engineering - gray, round, large scales. This is a wild thrill for lovers of this style. The tachometer, speedometer are made very beautifully, and the bezel is made around. In general, the design, style, instrument panel design is really at a high level, and is always in the center of attention of new buyers. They are easy to read by the driver on the move. Also, the scale on the right and left informs about fuel consumption, about the remaining gasoline in the tank and other information. In general, the instrument panel is very pleasing to the eye and always shows accurate information.

On the move

Vibration and poor soundproofing of engines is a "family trait" of all Chinese trucks. The FAW 6371 van is a pleasant exception in this regard, probably because it has a gasoline engine, not a diesel one. At idle, this motor is almost inaudible, and on the go, an empty body in the same volume with the cabin resonates so much that any sound in a moving car is amplified many times over. With such a soundtrack, the noise from the motor turns out to be far from the loudest.

Acceleration

Up to hundreds of kilometers per hour, it will accelerate confidently and quickly enough, but then there is not enough power at all. Althoughin the technical specifications it is written that it accelerates as much as possible, but in fact … Reviews from the owners of this car indicate that it can easily reach speeds of up to 120 kilometers per hour. And this is not even about the slope, but about the usual, flat road.

Drivability

The subcompact car will handle the same as this van. When cornering, he is confident, not much heels. However, a very bad situation can happen if you turn into a long turn at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. The bottom line is that if you run into an uneven section of the road a little in a turn, you will immediately lose control. This is a small skid, which is very easy to control, however, the phenomenon is alarming. It's worth being careful! The reason for the poor handling is that the rear axle of the FAW 6371 is very weak and can slip easily. And so even in a loaded car. The Chinese did not focus on the rear wheels.

Fuel consumption

This is an advantage: on a fully loaded and fully free car, the consumption does not differ at all. In the city, it consumes about 8 liters per 100 kilometers, which is a fairly good indicator. This figure reaches a maximum of nine liters, and this will be under the worst weather conditions and circumstances. How to put labels on "FAV SA 6371"? You need to remove the timing belt cover in the car, and then set the marks.

Conclusion

After the tests of the owners and experimenters, the FAW 6371 remained afloat, and is not going to leavemarket. Mostly positive reviews are left about her, although sometimes there are negative ones. However, Chinese cars are still really high quality, they are worth buying. And even more so this particular model, which was described in detail in the material of this article. It is worth noting that FAW 6371 is quite rare at dismantling, however, finding parts and spare parts for it on the Internet is a five-minute matter. Delivery will take longer, about a month.

It is worth noting that the price of the car is very low, and therefore it is affordable. The limit is one million rubles. And at the same time, he does not even enter into competition, he only shows that he is the best in his class. And it is so good not only because of the technical component, but also the good attitude of Chinese manufacturers towards people: the warranty period for a car is 3 years or 60 thousand kilometers. These are quite favorable indicators, given that this is not a German car, it should break down often. And when you buy parts for it, you will realize that they are 2-3 times cheaper than from manufacturers of German, Swedish brands. However, in order for the FAW 6371 to be fully recognized in the car market, you need to try, make a lot of dealerships and markets in the Russian Federation. Chinese manufacturers may not have the money for this, however, in a couple of years, Chinese cars can easily get ahead of many other brands. The technical specifications of the FAW 6371 are also quite good, the cars are ahead of many in their performance.
