"Tavria" refers to class 2 cars (budget models). Initially, it was produced at a Soviet factory, but later the bulk began to roll off the assembly line of the same, but already Ukrainian ZAZ. The first exclusive copy became the "parent" for a huge number of different models and their modifications, which were combined into a giant series.

You can easily remember about 40 different cars. It is worth noting that they were in high demand among the domestic buyer. The end of the large-scale release took place in 2007.

History of the development of ZAZ "Tavria-1102"

The development of a new (at that time) Tavria car began because of the need to replace the Zaporozhets 966 model. By the 70s, two versions of the car were created in the form of a sedan and a hatchback. But permission for production was obtained only after 10 years. After the release of a large batch, the management changed the task of this machine. It wasit is stipulated that the model should resemble the leader of European sales (we are talking about the Ford Fiesta). An experienced designer working at a factory in Zaporozhye has said more than once that the American "child" has nothing to do with advertising. If bright posters and videos made the Fiesta an ideal car, then in reality it did not meet many of the declared characteristics. Therefore, bypassing it technically was not a very difficult and time-consuming process.

The Soviet auto industry constantly demanded from the manufacturer to improve the Tavria, setting her more and more difficult tasks and goals. The first production model, which sold throughout the Union, was a copy released in November 1987.

Tavria lineup

The ZAZ-110240 car began to be produced in 1991. Production continued until 1997. In this model, the trunk has expanded volumes. There is a side passenger sofa. Unlike the sedan, these instances differ in carrying capacity. The second time the car rolled off the assembly line in 1999. Its predecessor ZAZ-1102 was already far behind the described model in development. The new version was distinguished by the installed engine. A large-scale release of a sanitary modification was planned, but the desired did not come true.

The Tavria cargo model was named ZAZ-110260. There were no passenger seats except for the seat next to the driver. The car is able to withstand loads up to 300 kg.

The next interesting model is ZAZ-110260-30. In the roof of this modification, one could find a small hole for the antenna. The car had a distinctive feature - the presence of the function of automatic inclusion of low speedfan. Special plugs were installed on the bumpers.

Slavuta

Slavuta rolled off the assembly line from 1999 to 2011. It belongs to category "B". Established body type liftback. The engines that these models were equipped with are designed for 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 liters (carburetor), as well as 1.2 and 1.3 liters (injection). The development of "Slavuta", which is associated with the ZAZ-1102, began due to the fact that "Dana" did not meet the modern requirements of drivers at that time, due to which it was not in great demand. Almost six months later, the 1.1-liter carburetor engine was replaced by an analogue of 1.2 liters. And in 2002, the most expensive model for the entire production period appeared on the markets - a car with a 1.3-liter injection engine. However, the latter option was not suitable for sale due to the tightening of environmental regulations. In January 2011, the plant stopped producing Slavuta.

The body has 5 doors, it is made of all-metal material, has a closed and load-bearing type. The rear window opens together with the tailgate. The mass of the car is 800 kg. Tank volume - 38 l.

The engines that were installed on the Slavuta were developed and produced at the Melitopol plant. All units are designed for 4 cylinders. The exhaust pipe is located at the rear on the left. The ignition (ZAZ-1102 is equipped with a similar system) has a battery structure and a non-contact voltage of 12 Volts.

Dana

Assembly of the car began in 1994. The last copy rolled off the assembly line in 2010. "Dana" - the owner of a 5-doorbody, which has significant differences from the original model. Although it was built on the ZAZ-1102, the look of the newer car has an original and organic design.

As standard, the car is capable of carrying loads up to 200 kg with five passengers in the cabin. You could get acquainted with the engine that was installed on the model by driving the original Tavria. Initially, Dana was planned to be equipped with a unit with a capacity of 60 horsepower, which was designed for 5 thousand revolutions per minute, but due to some reasons, a car with this engine never entered mass production.

The car belongs to class "B". It has all-wheel drive. The gearbox is mechanical, and the engine is carbureted.

Pickup

This car is a modification of the original Dana model. Any buyer could custom-install a soft or hard top (optional), which easily turns the van into a cargo vehicle. The compartment where all the luggage is placed is separated from the driver's and passenger's seats by an ordinary partition with glass. The release of the Pickup truck, based on the ZAZ Tavria-1102 car, began in 1992 and lasted right up to 2014.

The units installed on the machine had different characteristics regarding the volume: from 1.1 to 1.3 liters.

Most of the details were borrowed from "Dana". They differ from each other in the rear bumper, lights of the same part of the car, a window inpartition (in a newer version, a grill appeared on it). "Pickup" received updated side mirrors and an awning that can be installed on the grate of the cargo hold, as well as suspension. Repairing this model, as well as repairing the ZAZ-1102, will not require much time, effort and money. Therefore, such a machine is quite in demand.
