At the moment GAZelle light commercial vehicles are very popular in the Russian market. There are many modifications of these vehicles: cargo and passenger minibuses, manufactured goods and isothermal vans, onboard platforms and even refrigerators. But a few years ago, the Gorky Automobile Plant decided to go even further and developed a four-wheel drive for them. And if earlier the GAZelle had a wheel formula exclusively 4x2, now it is all-wheel drive, with a 4x4 formula. However, what benefit will we get from this, how much will we have to pay for such an upgrade?
Arguments "for"
The main advantage of using such vehicles is the ability to deliver cargo to any destination. Where a mono-drive small-tonnage vehicle cannot pass, an all-wheel drive GAZelle will pass. Thanks to the 4x4 wheel formula, you don’t have to worry about whether the car with the load will reach its destination or get stuck somewhere along the way. The use of such trucks is especially important in rural areas, where there are no paved roads. All-wheel drive "GAZelle" can start from any place, regardless of the lack of roads, without slipping. However, do not always rely on a car - in many respects, cross-country ability depends on your driving skills and the level of difficulty of the track. But in any case, the all-wheel drive "GAZelle" will be more passable than its two-wheel drive "sisters".
Arguments against
Along with the advantages, the 4x4 drive also has disadvantages. Firstly, in order to cope with the passage of a ford, you need to have special experience in driving four-wheel drive vehicles. That is, you will have to get used to such a GAZelle for a very long time. In addition, as experts note, such cars have increased wear of units and components. This is due to the high load that occurs during the passage of an off-road track. At the same time, fuel consumption increases significantly. As indicated in the passport data, the all-wheel drive GAZelle (model 330273) consumes about 9.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Of course, this is very hard to believe, and if you estimate that mono-drive in practice consume about 13-14 liters per hundred, doubts creep in. Well, in general, fuel consumption increases by 10-15 percent, so consider this factor in advance when buying light vehicles.
How much does an all-wheel drive GAZelle cost?
The price directly depends on the type and modification of the car (and there are more than a dozen of them). Therefore, the cost of "GAZelles" model 330273 will be given belowFarmer.
- 630 thousand rubles. For this price, you will purchase a gasoline version of the GAZ-330273, equipped with an engine from the Ulyanovsk Motor Plant (UMZ-4216) with a capacity of 106 horsepower. Gearbox - five-speed "mechanics".
- 653 thousand rubles. The same modification, only in addition, gas-balloon equipment of the "methane" type is attached.
- 775 thousand rubles. This is how much a diesel GAZelle with a 120-horsepower American Cummins engine with a volume of 2.8 liters costs. The gearbox is the same.
As you can see, the price is slightly higher than usual, so if you do not have an urgent need to use the "GAZelle" 4x4, it is better not to buy it. Well, if the terrain simply does not allow the operation of a mono-drive truck, then all-wheel drive is indispensable.
