ZAZ Forza has been produced for more than five years (since December 2010), and during this time he managed to become popular with millions of drivers. This is not surprising - the car turned out to be successful from all sides.
Italian designers managed to realize their plans and “carve out” a modern and attractive car.
In the design of the interior and body, the bionic design that is popular today, which is expressed in the original shape of the headlights, the V-shaped radiator grille and body geometry, stands out.

Reviews of car owners
ZAZ Forza was created based on the average consumer who has a relatively small amount on hand, but wants a new car.
This is where Forza comes to court. As for how successful the car turned out to be, it is easier to judge this by the reviews of the owners.
1. Positive feedback.
Eugene, 35 years old. Car - ZAZ Forza, 2014, 10,000 km, Lux.
“I decided to buy this car after graduating from a driving school (I was lucky to learn on this model). Even then, the car seemed easy to manage and comfortable.
Of the pluses, I immediately noted for myself the compliance of the steering wheel, a good audio system and equipment.
I still can't be happier. Average consumption- 7.5 liters. In one year of operation, I managed to run over 10 thousand kilometers, and during this time serious problems was not noticed.
Several times I got the bottom to the curved asphalt, but with our roads this should not be surprising. So the car is fully satisfied.
From the pros - reliable suspension, minimized fuel consumption, as for this type of car, unpretentiousness, high level comfort."
Anatoly, 47 years old. Transport - ZAZ Forza, 2012, 20,000 km, Comfort.
"I'm critical of domestic auto industry, but in the case of Forza I was pleasantly surprised. The car is distinguished by reliability, ease of operation, comfort.
Always thought that Ukrainian manufacturer never learned how to make cars. But in practice, they all know how.
I would like to note the supple steering wheel, which rotates without much effort, handling and stable stability on the road.
A little upset gearbox, which works up to 1000 rpm tight. But after the first thousand, the problem disappears.
Fuel consumption was expected (as written in the instruction manual). On the highway - 6 liters, in the city - 10 liters.
I have been traveling by car for 1.5 years. During this period, I changed only the wipers (they worked far from ideal) and tires (too noisy and oak).
The rest of the car is not satisfactory. Stories that it is better to buy a foreign car for this money are nonsense.”
Nikita, 27 years old. Transport — ZAZ Forza, 2014, 8,000 km, Lux.
“I promised myself to buy only new transport, so I immediately went to a car dealership and bought Forza.
After a year of operation, "romance" has become less, but the car still continues to please.
Immediately after the purchase, I did a few things (which I never regretted) - installed crankcase protection, installed new tires(painfully "oak" factory version) and treated the body with an anti-corrosion compound.
The rest of the car is worthy of attention. Pleasantly struck handling, excellent visibility, good optics.
On the track, the car pleases with its dynamism and acceleration. There are no problems with overtaking at speed.
Handling at altitude - turns (even at high speed) the car overcame without problems.
Pleased with the equipment, in which there was a place for air conditioning, anti-lock system, radio with six speakers and other "usefulness".
The conclusion is unambiguous - the car is worthy of attention.
Alexey, 47 years old. " iron Horse"- ZAZ Forza, 2012, 25,000 km, Comfort.
“I have been driving for a long time. There were already several cars before Forza, so there is something to compare with.
If you do not look at foreign cars high class, That this transport for your money a normal option. Complete set and design for such a price — ideal.
As for the expense, then immediately after the purchase I forgot what extra fuel costs are.
Forza consumes 8 liters of gas on the highway, and 12 liters in the city. If you drive on gasoline, then the consumption is 15-20% less.
I was pleasantly surprised by the trunk, which is only small at first glance. The available volume is enough to load "half an apartment". At the same time, the machine withstands the test and does not sag.
At speed, Forza behaves adequately, enters corners without problems (without obvious roll).
There are no complaints about cross-country ability. IN Last year 4-5 times I had to go into the mud off-road, and the car coped with the task.
I'm not into tuning. Yes, and there is no point in this, because the design of the car turned out to be worthy of the “children” of the era.
Separately, I would like to highlight the comfort of night trips. The optics work fine, you can see the road and the roadside.
Now, when people ask me whether to buy ZAZ Forza, I answer with an unequivocal yes. For the city, this car is perfect.
To summarize, I would single out the following pluses - handling, cross-country ability, gear tenacity, adequate fuel consumption and a modern exterior (interior)."
Dmitry, 33 years old. Auto — ZAZ Forza, 2013, 12,000 km, Lux.
"Hello. He took the car to solve various problems — for the family and forays into nature. The family has one child and two adults.
The car is also needed for commuting, fishing, cottage, picking mushrooms. In general, everything is like in a normal average family.
Because of this, I was looking for an option that would combine comfort, compact dimensions, roomy trunk, moderate consumption and stylish appearance.
Since the purchase of ZAZ Forza has never regretted it. It holds the road, manageable, economical. Immediately after the purchase, I made soundproofing, glued new rubber bands on the trunk, processed critical places with WD-40.
In the cold, Forza showed itself well and always started with a half turn. By the way, I also changed the tires right away (I tortured the noise when driving at speed).
As a result, I have been operating ZAZ Forza for three years now, I have no complaints. I come for service maintenance, I change consumables, and there are no additional costs. So for this price, the car proved to be the best way. ”
2. Negative feedback.
Eugene, 35 years old. Car - ZAZ Forza, 2013, 15,000 km, Lux.
“Before you buy a car, be sure to ride it. As for me, so steering too light. When entering a turn at speed, it feels like the car will roll over, and the back is thrown in one direction and the other.
A feature of the 2012 models is the presence of a “growth”, which is annoying and interferes with driving.
There are complaints about the rear shelf, which turned out to be bent in the car, like an old car.
Already after the first thousand, the steering began to flow and after that I had to visit the service station regularly.
Konstantin, 45 years old. Transport - ZAZ Forza, 2013, 31,000 km, Comfort.
“I have been driving a car for several years, mileage is 35,000 km. Had to change almost immediately. steering rack(replaced under warranty). They put a new one on the service, but not everything is perfect with it - it continues to knock.
Almost immediately there was an unpleasant knock from the caliper on the right side. After 25,000 km, the shock absorber dripped.
Immediately about comfort. The car is tough, so driving on a bumpy road is psychologically difficult.
Noise isolation is bad. To fix the problem, she had to deal with it personally. If nothing is done, then after 2,000 revolutions there is noise in the cabin, as if the car is about to take off.
The positive is only the equipment, but for such a price, too little bonus is obtained. ”
Nikolay, 43 years old. ZAZ Forza, 2013, 35,000 km, Comfort.
“During the operation of the car, it didn’t let me down much, but the impression is far from the best.
The disadvantages include low ground clearance, stiff suspension and poor sound insulation. After 2000-2500 rpm the car makes noise unreal.
Handling is also not so hot. At high speed, it always feels like rear end vehicle is in free motion.
In addition, I did not like the acceleration dynamics, high flow fuel (8 liters or more), poor visibility. On average, the car is worth its money, but it could be better.”
Summing up
As can be seen from the reviews, opinions about the car are contradictory. But some conclusions are easy to draw:
To sum up, the car turned out to be decent. For such a price, despite all the disadvantages of ZAZ Forza, it is impossible to find something better and with the same equipment.
dynamic
ZAZ Forza ZAZ ForzaThe car was originally intended to be the successor to the ZAZ Chance/Sens, but in production the car served as a successor to the discontinued "Opel Astra G OTGF69".

| |||||||||||||
Zaz Forza 2019 is not an example of luxury and the highest point of intellectual thought. But to become popular model on domestic market You don't have to be a particularly outstanding model.
A modern consumer can forgive many shortcomings, but if the model costs adequate money, and also has good equipment, cheap spare parts and good maintainability, then it has a certain chance of becoming a mass model. So it was with domestic cars like Tavria Slavuta, this can happen with the brainchild of ZAZ - Forza (pictured).
Needless to say, it's not really domestic car. In fact, Zaz Forza 2020 is a turned clone of the Chinese Chery car A13, also sold under the name Bonus. The start of sales of the model was in 2009. However, by 2011, in order to reduce the price of cars, it was decided to assemble the car on production facilities ZAZ. In addition, Forza must at least half consist of locally produced parts.

Model under a new name, though not received new body, but underwent a certain restyling that touched the exterior. The car got a slightly modified radiator grille, and the logo Chery gave way to the ZAZ emblem. The Italian studio Torino design worked on the development of the appearance of Zaz Forza 2019. As a result of the work of European specialists, a nice car turned out. Of course, the Zaz Forza car is far from the style icon, its appearance deserves very positive reviews.
Small short overhangs, neat head optics, nice rims. Everything looks quite harmonious and without pretentiousness or bust, which sometimes they can afford Chinese cars. Unless the rear of a car in a liftback body may seem slightly slurred, especially when viewed in profile. Of course, this is a matter of taste, but the Zaz Forza hatchback looks more complete and concise (see photo).
Also look at and .
Good equipment
Salon Zaz Forza pleases with its space, large enough for a car of this size. And it is also pleasant that the extraneous odors inherent in many Chinese models, are absent as such. The dashboard is not bad, but I would like to make the scales of the speedometer and tachometer more. Landing is normal, and thin A-pillars practically do not interfere with the review. The adjustment range is enough for a driver up to 190 cm tall to feel quite comfortable.
And here rear passengers it will be quite difficult with a similar growth. After all, both the liftback and the hatchback Zaz Forza have a sloping roof that cuts down on headroom. So make yourself comfortable here. tall people will be problematic.
As a whole, there are no complaints about the ergonomics of Zaz Forza. Unless the air conditioning control buttons are located next to the trunk opening button - there is a risk of missing. Required set functions and accessories are also present. There is a towbar, air conditioning, full power accessories, central locking, electric mirrors, a radio tape recorder with a CD drive. 
armchairs
IN complete set you can buy a Zaz Forza with cruise control, airbags, parking sensors and light alloy rims. The trunk can rightfully be considered a serious advantage. A wide loading opening, the possibility of transformation, by folding the backrest, will help increase the usable space up to 1400 liters! And underground is a full-size spare tire.
Under the hood of the new Zaz Forza 1.5 liter engine, with a capacity of 109 hp Nothing outstanding, but its advantages are different. This is unpretentiousness, cheap spare parts and maintainability. The unit is designed to work in tandem with a 5-speed mechanical box gears. There are no alternatives to the diesel or automatic type in the lineup. But the car is designed to please with good fuel consumption - up to 9 liters of gasoline even in urban mode.
Small and calm
In motion, Zaz Forza does not become a revelation (see video test drive). Ordinary budget car. The character of the motor is very pleasant. He confidently pulls from the bottom. back side medals is that at speeds above 4 thousand, the engine feels rather uncomfortable. The box works quite clearly, but the noise from it is more than we would like to hear. But I liked the steering wheel informative. clear Feedback, quick response to manipulation, due effort. Everything is exactly as it should be.
And if we talk about the shortcomings, then the owners of the Zaz Forza 2019 are unlikely to like excessively large rolls in corners. When passing turns, the car tends to noticeably enough, it would not hurt to subject this part of the chassis to tuning. On a flat track and when cornering with a margin, the car behaves quite comfortably and predictably. 
The best-selling vehicle class on local market are the B-segment models. Due to the current financial situation, the prices of most of them have increased. And yet there are very inexpensive options. One of these is ZAZ-Forza. The following is the story, technical specifications this car and its place in the market.
Story
First of all, it should be noted that this machine is a version of Chery A-13, so you should consider the features of this car.
A-13 is a class B subcompact model. It has been in production since 2008. Based on Chery Amulet, which is based on the Seat Toledo platform developed in the early 90s. of the past century. For the creation of the design, the manufacturer turned to the bodywork studio Torino Design.
The production of a car in Ukraine under the name "ZAZ-Forza" began in 2010. It was originally planned that it would become the successor to the ZAZ Sens / Chance, but in fact, Forza replaced the one removed from produced by Opel Astra G.
The car in question is technically identical to the A-13 and differs only in some equipment features.

This model It has two body styles: a liftback and a 5-door hatchback.
The dimensions of the first one are 4.269 m long, 1.686 m wide and 1.492 m high, wheelbase equal to 2.527 m.

ZAZ Forza is a class B car. Presented in the budget segment. Manufacturers advertise it big words: bright design, powerful "heart", high-quality details. But is it really so? Let's figure it out.
Driver reviews are different. There are some positive ones, but there are also some downright negative ones. Of course, a cheap car has its drawbacks, but they are covered by a low cost. The buyer will have to decide for himself whether he is ready to put up with them.
Briefly about the car
It is unlikely that anyone will argue that the most popular cars are representatives budget segment. An alternative to Chinese copies is the Forza model, produced on the Conveyor was launched in 2010. The manufacturer thought that this car would become the successor to the already familiar ZAZ Chance/Sens. But as time has shown, he filled the empty niche, which was vacated after being discontinued Opel Astra G.
The Austrian designers were engaged in the development of the model. The basis was Chery A-13. Due to the fact that the assembly was carried out at the Ukrainian plant in the city of Zaporozhye, the final cost per car turned out to be quite attractive, which made it possible to compete with such famous models, as "Priora", "Kalina", "Grant" model series Lada.
Body Features
The manufacturer introduced several versions of ZAZ Forza: hatchback and sedan. As for the first type of body, its dimensions are:
- 4139 mm - length;

The sedan has almost the same dimensions. It differs only in length. In the sedan, it is 130 mm (4269 mm) larger.
The curb weight (1275 kg) and the wheelbase (2527 mm) are the same in these cars. And here ground clearance more sedan than hatchback. The first clearance is 370 mm, and the second - 300 mm.
Appearance The ZAZ Forza car can hardly be called original, since Chery A-13 was taken as the basis for this model. All the same streamlined shapes, inflated parts, a voluminous bumper, the shape of the radiator grille are already familiar to domestic drivers. However, it cannot be said that the car has not been finalized in terms of design. All the details are harmoniously combined with each other, making up a complete overall composition.
Specifications
Appearance of the car main criterion choice. Most drivers pay attention technical specifications, in particular, the "stuffing", which is hidden under the hood. ZAZ Forza is equipped with only one type of power plant - ACTECO SQR477F. AVL employees were involved in its development. The motor is based on four cylinders. The volume of the unit is 1.5 liters. Max Power this power plant - 109 liters. With. Torque indicator - 140 Nm.
The model is front wheel drive. This unit is equipped with one type of transmission - manual transmission. At the front of the car, McPherson suspension and disc suspension are implemented. brake system. But at the back there is a semi-independent spring type with drum brakes.
Driving performance: reviews
ZAZ Forza car gets not the most good feedback to the aerodynamic properties. Drivers think that power point does not meet the manufacturer's specifications. When accelerating, a characteristic sound is heard in the cabin, which indicates poor sound insulation. The hum appears as soon as the car is gaining about three thousand revolutions.
The maximum limit of the ZAZ Forza is a speed of 160 km / h, but the drivers claim that they accelerated to no more than 130-140 km / h. As for fuel costs, this model cannot be called economical. In the city, it consumes up to 10 liters, and in the combined cycle - 7.2 liters.
Do not hit the driver and the acceleration rate. From a place, the car will pick up the first “weave”, spending almost 12 seconds.
Advantages and disadvantages
Having considered the features of the car, it's time to highlight all its advantages and disadvantages. The first ones include:
- attractive design;
- comfortable lounge;
- optimal balance between the quality of materials and cost;
- inexpensive service.
What did users name as disadvantages? This:
- low clearance;
- poor sound insulation;
- high flow fuel.
ZAZ Forza: price
This car model is considered the cheapest of those presented on Russian market. It is worth noting that it even surpassed the legendary Lada series. Of course, in terms of demand, the latter are still in the lead, but in terms of cost, Forza is out of competition. IN car showrooms this copy is presented with a price tag from 390 to 420 thousand rubles. The choice of configuration affects the formation of cost.
