We all know GAZelle well. This is perhaps the most famous light truck. The machine has proven itself well in terms of cost of maintenance and maintainability. However, today's attention will be devoted not to the GAZelle, but to its younger "brother". This is Sobol-2752. Specifications, fuel consumption, design and interior - further in our article.

Appearance

You can easily recognize the GAZelle in the design of the car. It's practically a copy of it. In fact, this is the same minibus 2705, only without the “spark” in the back, and slightly shortened. In front - the familiar teardrop-shaped headlights and a huge bumper from the "Business". Windshield, doors, mirrors - all this is a GAZelle. Nothing more to say about the design.

As for the quality of the metal, the machine has all the same "sores". Severely rusty hood, doors and arches. The paint is very thin and often chipped. Often you canmeet repainted specimens. And often elements are repainted not because the car has been in an accident, but for aesthetic reasons. Recently, the quality of painting has improved, but if you choose models in the secondary market, you should carefully look at hidden cavities. Often not only the body rusts, but also the frame. After purchasing a used car, it is recommended to carry out a full anti-corrosion treatment.

Dimensions, clearance, load capacity

Total length of the body is 4.81 meters, width - 2.08 (excluding mirrors), height - 2.2 and 2.3 meters for the rear and all-wheel drive versions, respectively. The ground clearance for these modifications also varies. On the single-wheel drive version, the clearance is 15 centimeters, on the rear-wheel drive version - 20.5. The curb weight is from 1.88 to 2.09 tons. At the same time, the carrying capacity is from 745 to 910 kilograms. By the way, the motors are put here from the GAZelle. But we will talk about the technical characteristics of Sobol-2752 a little later.

Salon

Since the Sobol was built on the basis of the GAZelle, inside it looks almost identical. The article presents a photo of the interior of the "Sable" of the current years of production. As we can see, the panel in the car is already from Next. But the seats are still old. The cabin can accommodate up to three people. There are also passenger versions. They are designed for seven passengers.

Among the pluses, it is worth noting that the new design of the panel and a more comfortable steering wheel. The rest of the car has not changed. Soundproofing still suffersplastic quality. On the move, the sound of the engine and gearbox is clearly audible (especially on all-wheel drive versions).

In the winter, the car is comfortable. The second stove handles the heating. However, it is very hot inside in summer. There is a catastrophic lack of air conditioning. You have to be content with just the hatch.

Sobol-2752: engine specifications

This vehicle has several powertrains. The base is a Euro-4 gasoline engine with a 16-valve head. This is an UMZ brand engine. What are the technical characteristics of GAZ "Sobol-Combi-2752"? Engine displacement - 2.9 liters, torque - 220 Nm. The maximum power is 107 horsepower.

It is worth paying attention to the issue of efficiency, considering the technical characteristics of Sobol-2752. Fuel consumption, according to passport data, is 12.5 liters. But as the reviews say, the engine can spend about 15 liters. Passport data is almost impossible to reach.

What are the technical characteristics of Sobol-2752, which runs on diesel? The diesel version is paired with a Cummins four-cylinder engine. It was also installed on GAZelle-Business and Next. With a working volume of 2.8 liters, this unit develops 120 horsepower. These are very good technical characteristics for Sobol-2752-Combi, the owners say. Given that the Sobol does not weigh as much as the GAZelle, and in addition does not carry one and a half tons of cargo, we can say that this is a very fast car. Andindeed, the Sobol storms steep mountains without any problems and easily goes up a long climb. At the same time, the motor is very economical. Fuel consumption is about 10 liters per hundred.

Transmission

Regardless of the engine chosen, only one transmission will be available to the customer. This is a five-speed manual transmission. Clutch - dry, single-disk, Sachs company. All-wheel drive versions of the Sobol are additionally equipped with a center differential lock, as well as a transfer case with a reduction gear. According to reviews, this car can seriously compete with UAZs on off-road (especially if you install mud tires). But for off-road, you need to take only Cummins. The technical characteristics of the Sobol 2752 with a diesel engine and manual transmission are simply excellent. The car smoothly climbs any hill, without slipping.

Pendant

Sobol is one of the few modern vans built on a frame. The design is very solid, but you have to sacrifice space in the cabin. Front - independent double wishbone suspension with a transverse stabilizer. Behind - continuous bridge with springs.

Brake system - dual-circuit, with hydraulic drive. Front - disc brakes, rear - drum. Steering - screw-ball nut. There is a hydraulic booster.

How does this car behave on the go? According to reviews, the car often jumps on bumps. Due to the short base and spring suspension, it is difficult to talk about anysmooth running. In addition, the car is very rolled. This is especially felt on all-wheel drive versions with increased ground clearance. But on the road the car shows itself perfectly. With the right use of locks and underdrive, you can overcome any obstacle, whether it is loose sand or wet mud.

Equipment level

In the basic configuration for "Sable" are available:

• Forged 16" rims.
• Halogen headlights.
• Audio preparation.
• Interior heater.
• Heated side mirrors.

Electrically adjustable mirrors can be ordered for an additional fee. If we talk about the passenger version, it is additionally equipped with a second heater and a sunroof. Diesel passenger modifications come with a Webasto preheater. As options, the dealer offers:

• USB radio.
• Air conditioner.
• Power windows.

Conclusion

So, we have examined what features and technical characteristics of Sobol-2752 has. Who needs such a car? Sobol is a good option for those who need a car with good cross-country ability and high ground clearance. The car shows itself perfectly on broken country roads, and also moves confidently through snow dunes. Often it is used for hunting and fishing, or converted to off-road. By the way, there is practically nothing to remake here. If we take the version with fulldrive, you just need to change the rubber to a more evil one and install a winch. Such a Sable will compete well with any prepared jeeps.
