Chevrolet Lanos is an economy class car. It was first introduced in 2008. Naturally, you should not expect any outstanding performance from an economy class car. And Chevrolet Lanos also has its pros and cons. However, shortcomings are often revealed, which should not be. Moreover, defects appear in all major systems and parts of the car. They appear in both new and used cars. And regardless of what equipment the car, in what body it was purchased.

Vehicle equipped five speed manual transmission. Its main drawback is not so much in reliability and service life, but in user qualities. The device does not turn on clearly and is noisy. Changing the oil will help fix the situation. This procedure must be performed every 30 thousand km. Thus, the hum will become quieter or disappear at all, but for a while.
After 55 thousand km, the wings loosen for no apparent reason. Adjusting the node will help restore the previous state. The clutch can last no more than 60 thousand km. Longer periods of up to 100 thousand km are also known, subject to careful treatment.
The disadvantage of the body is the paintwork. It is of poor quality, so chips and scratches quickly appear on it. Corrosion resistance is low, parts begin to rust after three years. Arches, sills, door edges, trunk and hood lids are especially vulnerable. You can deal with the problem. It is enough to treat the body with a special anti-corrosion agent every 5 years.
The weak point is the trunk lock. Over time, it fails, it needs to be replaced with a new one. Moisture may form in the passenger compartment and luggage compartment.
A common problem with the Chevrolet Lanos is the low efficiency of the brakes, especially the rear ones. It is especially manifested if you do not change the brake fluid every 30 thousand kilometers.
Chassis
Elements of the Chevrolet Lanos walker are distinguished by their short operation. Car owners emit weak shock absorbers. Already after 50 thousand kilometers, a comfortable suspension ceases to be such. There are many complaints about wheel bearings, which begin to crunch after 20-25 thousand km. Ball bearings require replacement every 50-60 thousand km. Their sudden breakdown is a frequent malfunction of Lanos. Another “sore” of the car is the steering rack. Often there is a leak, a knock, a hum, and the tips of the steering rack fail.
There are many problems with the engine. And if the 1.6-liter engine more or less pleases the owners with stable operation, then the 1.5-liter engine requires constant attention. The timing belt often breaks after 70-80 thousand km. This causes the valves to close. Therefore, experts give advice to constantly check the condition of the belt and replace it, as well as install new rollers. The situation is similar with the alternator drive belt, which requires replacement after 50-60 thousand km.
Often the cylinder head gasket fails, a leak begins. Absolute pressure and throttle position sensors in the injection system often also stop working.
Cooling system
The cooling system is also often subject to complaints. The radiator is notable for its unreliability. Antifreeze leakage is a common problem. Also, many vehicle owners are replacing the thermostat and the sensor responsible for the operation of the cooling fan.
Gear box
Of course, there were weaknesses in the checkpoint. The factory clutch disc is distinguished by its short service life. Often it is only enough for 50 thousand km. And if the car is constantly stuck in traffic jams, then a breakdown can occur earlier. After 80-100 thousand km, the box starts to buzz a lot. You can fix the problem by changing the oil. And another common problem is the operation of the checkpoint backstage, which can be misaligned for no reason.
It would seem, what problems can arise in the cabin? However, Chevrolet Lanos excelled in everything. Many owners noted such a factory assembly defect as a poor-quality rear-view mirror mount. For many, it simply fell off a month and a half after purchase. There are complaints and tightness. In some cars, the rear window is poorly glued, which is why water gets inside the cabin. There are also problems such as a broken blower switch, the clock falling out of the center console, and the creaking of the rear seats. Such minor defects, as a rule, the owners solve on their own with the help of improvised means. However, in the complex, all breakdowns do not leave the best impression of the car.
The main disadvantages of the Chevrolet Lanos
- High fuel consumption
- Low noise isolation
- Small interior and trunk
- Low quality paintwork
- Low corrosion resistance
- small ground clearance
- Bad dynamics.
Conclusion.
Thus, when buying a Chevrolet Lanos car and trying to save money, the owners are constantly spending money on repairs. The machine requires the closest attention and care, regular replacement of spare parts. To reduce the risk of breakdown at the most inopportune moment, it is recommended to carry out regular maintenance and diagnostics. At the same time, it is not known which system, part of the car will need to be “treated” again. And this is due to the fact that Chevrolet Lanos has a lot of vulnerabilities.
P.S: Car owners, if you notice frequent malfunctions of one or another part of Lanos, then report it in the comments below.

I want to say a little in defense of Lanos. I don’t even have a Lanos, but Chance 1.5, 2009 onwards. The first thing that changed is the shock absorbers in a circle for 75,000 km, 2 out of 4 flowed. After 3000 km, I changed the wheel bearings, the right one began to buzz. Timing changed at 112000KM. And, I also changed the radiator at 82000 km. These are all major replacements. The worst thing is the body. The front fenders rotted to holes in 6 years. Soundproofing is good for its class. The engine and gearbox are at a good level, I change the oil in the engine every 10,000 km, I haven’t changed it in the gearbox yet (it doesn’t make noise and switches well), but, I forgot, I changed the clutch at 109,000 km. Changing oil with filters costs an average of 2200-2500t.r. In general, if not the body of the machine, the rest is very personal. Ey, that's how it is. Thank you.

How? It’s easier, according to your description, to scrap the car right away on the day of purchase, just throw it into the shredder and digest it ... I drive a 2005 Chevrolet, mileage is 82 t.km. None of the above sores, except for sound insulation, have been noticed so far. Even experienced car owners envy the paintwork, the suspension is super, for the entire time of use it has never snorted the engine protection, although in the country there is a terrible gap in the form of holes. Is the mirror falling off? Nonsense! Rear glass? Korean with a sealant, apparently Korean, never leaked. Sensors also do not compress brains. What else? Posting Ukraine "Dneprodzerzhinsk". It causes dissatisfaction and doubts, all the harnesses are wrapped with electrical tape from the factory, as it is not neat, in general, khokhlyaks are messed up with wiring, but everything is OK. For parts, the box is perfect, the clutch is super, the brakes? Changed because of the production of discs and drums in the Brembo Italy circle (discs, pads, drums) Brembo DOT 5.1 brake fluid, Motul 2100 15W50 engine oil, Motul W80 gearbox, Totachi Long Life collant carboxylate Japan antifreeze, timing belts and Bosch generators. There is no power steering, and it’s so comfortable, the rail does not show signs of illness — everything is zergud. Ball, cv joints, springs, shock absorber cartridges, thrust bearings, wheel bearings, radiator, silent blocks - all native Polish-Korean. Gaskets yes, I looked at the condition under the valve cover and changed the gasket so that there was nothing (the cover was accidentally placed in the dust crumbs with a gasket in the garage). There are no problems either with a poorly closing glove compartment or with a trunk, it also doesn’t torment the gas tank hatches in winter (I pry with a plastic crowbar to dismantle the interior elements of the cabin - it’s harmless to the paintwork). The light in the block headlights, the rear linted LED bulbs - the light of each section is super, especially pleasant in the turn signals, the diodes in the repeaters on the sides, the usual Hella +50 bulbs in the front dimensions Hella and the linded LEDs in the turn signals. NGK candles and indeed, all consumables of well-known brands, oils and other liquids, lamps, filters, belts, pads, and Exide premium 61 A/H batteries. the car was inherited and stood for a long time for the battery, the old battery was planted at “0” 7 times and after driving I dumped it on the scales for 780 rubles. Fairytale car. If I am going to change something serious, then, based on quality and durability, it’s only for comfort that has been unattended for a long time. Remained as it is now. And not because of the fact that everything fell apart to ... or don't like it. I completely forgot the brushes, threw out the factory kids during the downtime of the machine, managed to harm them and stuck Hella 19″. I think if there is something in the second typewriter viburnum station wagon, then it is not comparable with Lanos. The clutch, frankly, is designed for the Hulk rather than in the Lanos, the accelerator is electronic and empty more pressing than the throttle cable of the Lanos, the shock absorbers at speed in viburnum are ready to shake off all your bones and turn your guts out when you just float along the road in Lanos))). Only the insulation is lame in Lanos, which I mentioned above. But, I think I’ll solve the only problem with soundproofing manually))) And site errors 1e lanos drive to a maximum of 167 km / h, lanos sport was produced for a short time in Korea with automatic transmission, yes yes - a 3-door automatic 1.5 engine, travels 161 km / h and 2e Lanos was created in 1998 with the Daewoo Lanos model created to replace the Daewoo Nexia were then the Chevrolet T100, Chevrolet Lanos Saloon, Chevrolet Kalos, Chevrolet kalos saloon, Chevrolet lanos sport Korea automatic, ZAZ Chance "sens". Sports like sens was a hatchback. In general, a well-groomed car, which I met as mine is only 3 out of 300 I saw, is worth the money, I like the car for its simplicity and comfort, although it’s just from the SX configuration - the driver’s airbag and a presentable steering wheel get tired of everything))) Brushes on the hood does not scratch and even the original Daewoo Korea muffler bank — not rotted.
- Do not judge strictly
4 years (100t.km) and normal flight)) pah pah pah … The most interesting thing is that in the first year I hit 50t.km. With regards to paintwork, yes, not very good, no doubt! BUT! The car is 10 years old, but it is native, and if it weren’t for my personal jambs (and my wife, respectively :)), it would be much better. Salt, xuyol and other reagents finish off everything else. Suspension hood! Yes, not a Merc, but it is justified by a rare replacement and a deshman price tag! In short, I’ll go straight to the shitty one: headlights, stove, consumption for 1.5l 10l in the city is somehow not for cafes. For me, this is everything. And also it's all treated inexpensively, so fuck this car with a market price of 20t.r. (It was for this price that I bought two cars, and one in full stuffing) and a maximum of 150t.r. not taking into account the bargaining, but there the mosquito won’t undermine the nose, it’s better than our auto industry (yes, wankers-youngsters who love pots ask me) I have everything. Thank you for your attention.

Chevrolet lanos) is not only a people's car, but also one of the most inexpensive foreign cars that have ever been presented on our market. Therefore, in most cases, cars of this model are considered as an alternative to used cars of the Russian car industry. This car is considered one of the best options only if the budget for buying a car is small, also, Lanos is perfect for novice drivers. Like most used cars, Chevrolet Lanos has a number of drawbacks, but what they are, and what you need to pay attention to when buying, I will tell you in this article.
A bit of history:
The first Lanos was presented by the Korean company Daewoo at the Geneva Motor Show, but development began much earlier, in 1993. The body design was developed by the famous design studio ItalDesign under the direction of Giorgetto Giugiaro. The power units are partially borrowed from Opel and improved by Porsche engineers. After General Motors bought a 42% stake in Daewoo in 2002, a decision was made to jointly produce this car model. Initially, the car was presented in three body types - a three- and four-door hatchback and a sedan. Also, there was a limited batch of convertibles (produced from 1997 to 2002). Until 2002, Lanos was assembled in Korea, but after the launch of mass production, the car began to be assembled in Poland, as well as in Ukraine and Russia. Since 2008, the car has been produced only at the UkrAVTO plant in Zaporozhye.
Weaknesses of Chevrolet Lanos with mileage
The paintwork and metal of the body elements are of rather poor quality, as a result, corrosion on the car body appears after 3-5 years of operation. Most often, rust appears on the arches, sills, door edges, front of the hood and trunk lid. Therefore, in order to protect the car from the effects of corrosion, it is recommended to treat the body and bottom with anti-corrosion agents at least once every 3-4 years. Over time, moisture appears in the cabin and trunk, and there are also complaints about the durability of the trunk lock.
Engines
For the entire production period, the Chevrolet Lanos was equipped with only a 1.5 liter gasoline power unit with a capacity of 86 hp. One of the most common problems with this engine is considered to be oil leakage through the cylinder head gasket (the gasket needs to be replaced every 30-40 thousand km). The motor is equipped with a timing belt drive, with a service replacement interval every 60,000 km. However, it is better not to delay the replacement and carry it out a little earlier, since after 50,000 km there is a high probability of a belt break, which leads to serious consequences (bends the valves). Many owners, in order to save money, refuel with low-quality fuel, this leads to rapid clogging and premature failure of the fuel pump.
Often surprises and the cooling system - the radiator ceases to function, the pump and thermostat fail. If the malfunction is not detected in time, this can lead to overheating of the motor, and, in the future, to costly repairs (leads the cylinder head). The sensors of the injection system, absolute pressure, throttle position and lambda probe are not famous for their reliability. A fairly common problem, when the engine starts to work unstably (XX revolutions are walking), to fix the problem, it is necessary to replace the idle speed sensor. Among the advantages of the motor, unpretentiousness to fuel quality and a fairly large resource before overhaul (up to 500,000 km) can be distinguished.
Transmission
Chevrolet Lanos was equipped only with a five-speed manual transmission, which was not an alternative. Most of the complaints here relate not so much to reliability and durability as to its user characteristics. Most often, the transmission is criticized for fuzzy gear shifting and noisy operation. If the box started to buzz a lot, try to change the oil every 30,000 km, this procedure improves the situation a little, but does not completely solve the problem. Once every 50-60 thousand km, adjustment of the backstage is required, which becomes loose for no particular reason. WITH Clutch runs an average of 50-60 thousand km, but, with careful operation, it can last 100,000 km.
Reliability suspension Chevrolet Lanos
Chevrolet Lanos is equipped with a semi-independent suspension: in front - MacPherson strut, in the back - a beam with trailing arms hinged to the body. To increase lateral stability and improve handling, an anti-roll bar is installed inside the beam, the ends of which are fixed to the suspension arms. As for the reliability of the suspension, it is difficult to call it hardy. Most of the complaints are caused by the resource of shock absorbers and their springs, which in rare cases exceeds 30,000 km. Wheel bearings can start to buzz even after 20,000 km (rear ones require adjustment), but often they are enough for 30-40 thousand km, ball bearings will last about the same. Silent blocks and thrust bearings run an average of 50-70 thousand km.
As for the reliability of the steering rack, it all depends on the operating conditions, but if we take the average, then its resource is 60-80 thousand km. Steering tips and rods start knocking after 50,000 km. It is worth noting that all data refers only to original parts, also, you need to understand that most owners take inexpensive analogues, and their resource can be many times less. The biggest plus of the Chevrolet Lanos chassis is that its repair is quite cheap, and if you have even the slightest idea about the structure of the chassis car, you can do it yourself.
Salon
Traditionally for budget cars, low-quality interior finishing materials, as a result, squeaks, knocks and other annoying sounds are becoming commonplace. Also, due to poor quality, over time, the stove control buttons and other plastic elements begin to break off. Not famous for its durability and electrical wiring, over the years, this has a negative impact on the performance of the electrical equipment of the cabin (failures begin).
Outcome:
This car is the main contender for the role of the first car, and it will also be a good alternative to AvtoVAZ. If we talk about the reliability of this car, then the main components and assemblies, with proper maintenance, will not cause many problems. In this price range, Chevrolet Lanos is perhaps the most interesting option, but if you can buy a car a little more expensive, then it’s better to take a closer look.
If you are the owner of this car model, please describe the problems that you had to face during the operation of the car. Perhaps it is your review that will help readers of our site when choosing a car.
Sincerely, editorial Autoavenue
In 1983, a Korean-American joint venture called Daewoo Motor was formed. Its founders were the Daewoo Corporation and the General Motors concern. The first model of the brand was LeMans, locally known as the Daewoo Racer, it was produced on the basis of the first generation Opel Kadett E. In Russia, LeMans first appeared in 1993, immediately becoming one of the most popular in the domestic car market among new foreign cars. After another upgrade in March 1995, the model was renamed Nexia (Cielo for Korea). In the same year, Daewoo introduced the Nexia to the German market. And two years later, in 1997, the Daewoo Lanos car made its debut in South Korea, replacing the Daewoo Nexia.
Opel Kadett E was produced from the end of 1984 to 1991
In 1995, based on the Opel Kadett E, a new model was developed - Daewoo Nexia, which is still one of the best-selling foreign-made cars in Russia.
The car was created by Daewoo specialists, together with specialists from Western European design centers
When creating Lanos, 150 cars of this class were analyzed with similar characteristics and engine displacements.
Foreigners worked on the exterior of the car - a well-known studio from the Apennine Peninsula ItalDesign. The car got quite a memorable appearance. The original body has an almost perfect aerodynamic shape with a large slope of the windshield and balanced proportions, a spacious and functional interior with a carefully thought-out dashboard, good build quality and carefully crafted styling solutions.
Daewoo Lanos - Daewoo's first own design
The Lanos car was developed and put into production in 30 months and cost the company $420 million. Initially, Lanos was not supplied to Russia. However, in 2001, it was possible to arrange its assembly at the Doninvest plant. A car was produced under the name "Doninvest Assol". A small batch of cars was even sold. But then something went wrong, and our production was stopped, and already discontinued in Korea, Lanos began to be assembled at the Polish FSO plant and the Ukrainian ZAZ, where the Zaporozhets used to be made.
In 2003, Ukravto signed an agreement with GM-Daewoo on the creation of a full-scale production of Chevrolet Lanos cars at ZAZ with a capacity of up to 90,000 vehicles per year, which includes not only welding, painting and assembly, but also stamping of body parts. The prototype of this Chevrolet was Daewoo Lanos.
Lanos with a Chevrolet cross on the hood is an improved version of an old Korean friend
At present, full-fledged production of Lanos under the T-100 and T-150 indices is carried out at the Ukrainian ZAZ, only some parts come from Korea. The car is produced with three body types: sedan, 3-door and 5-door hatchback, but only sedan is delivered to Russia.
The popularity of Chevrolet Lanos was the reason for the emergence of a new car. Having made minimal changes to the configuration and design, slightly modifying the exterior, ZAZ launched the production of ZAZ Sens. Being the closest "relative", Sens has components and assemblies unified with Lanos. So, for example, the fuel pump, fuel and air filters of the predecessor are used in the power system. The engine is installed by its own production - MeMZ with a volume of 1.3 liters and a power of 70 hp. With. Outside, Sens resembles what Lanos looked like in the original version, and later - Doninvest Assol. At Sens, the taillights have a different shape, and a kind of visor edge hangs over the trunk.
ZAZ Sens has become a follower of Lanos familiar to a wide range of motorists
Among the main advantages of Chevrolet Lanos is a solid passive safety system: reinforced front and rear pillars of the body, connected along the roof with four strong ties, safety beams made of steel pipes in the front and rear doors and under the windshield. As well as box-section beams framing the engine and capable of absorbing most of the energy in a frontal impact. The car in the basic version is equipped with a full-size spare wheel, 14-inch steel wheels, body-colored bumpers, rear window heating, remote control of the trunk lock, and a 4-speaker sound system. Starting with the SE package, a driver's airbag is installed. For a separate cost, you can get power steering, air conditioning, central locking, power windows and fog lights.
The minimalism of the Chevrolet Lanos will suit, first of all, those for whom the car will become the first foreign car in their life. The volume of the luggage compartment is 322 liters. The rear seats of the car fold in a ratio of 60:40, thereby increasing the usable volume for luggage up to 958 liters. Front suspension - McPherson type, with anti-roll bar, rear - semi-independent. The Lanos suspension is a happy set of compromises. It provides good handling at high speed, well absorbs medium bumps in the road surface, but unpleasantly knocks on small ones. On a rough road, when driving at high speed, the car may begin to yaw, unpleasant rolls appear. An important feature of the suspension in domestic conditions is its durability.
Under the hood of Lanos is a 1.5-liter engine with 86 hp. s., a new design catalytic converter was used in the exhaust system. This allows the car to comply with Euro-3 in terms of toxicity. The maximum torque of 130 Nm is reached at 3,400 rpm, which allows the car to be quite torquey and the driver to feel confident on the road.
The Lanos engine - with a distributed electronic injection system - is similar to the Opel engines used on the Kadett E and Ascona C. The downside of such a pedigree is increased fuel consumption. In the urban cycle, it is barely possible to meet 9.5-10.0 l / 100 km. The engine resource before overhaul reaches 400-500 thousand km.
Chevrolet Lanos(read the reviews of the owners below) - this is one of the most affordable foreign cars on the market of the Russian Federation. Available in three trim levels: SX, S, SE. Engine power for cars with a body type "sedan" is 86 liters. With. (volume 1.5) or 70 l. With. (volume 1.3).
A bit of history
The car was developed by the company and was first presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 1997 under the name DEU Lanos (T-100 - factory index). Later, in 2000, a minor restyling was made, as a result of which the shape and trunk lid were changed (T-150). After the acquisition of a controlling stake in Daewoo by GM, part of the T-150 cars began to be sold in a number of countries under the well-known Chevrolet Lanos brand. Reviews of the first buyers of the old car under the new name were in most cases positive. The car was produced in Poland (from 1997 to 2008) and in South Korea (from 1997 to 2004), as well as in some other countries.
In Ukraine, from 2001 to 2010, a car under the brand name Daewoo Lanos T-100 was assembled with engines from Daewoo with a volume of one and a half liters (five-door hatchback and sedan) from Polish parts. In addition, car brands and the L-1300 for the domestic market were also produced here, and starting in 2004, the Zaporozhye Automobile Plant began production of the Chevrolet Lanos, the technical characteristics of which fully corresponded to the T-150 variation with a sedan-type body structure.
However, in 2009, the contract between and GM DAT expired. Since then, both in the Russian and Ukrainian markets, these cars have been sold under the ZAZ Chance brand in the three trim levels listed above.
About car
The talented Italian artist Giorgetto Giugiaro worked on the design of the Chevrolet Lanos. The car still looks harmonious in the stream and does not stand out among other modern foreign cars.
The interior is quite roomy, and it can be guaranteed that neither the driver nor the passengers will get tired after a long trip. The front panel is made of inexpensive but high-quality plastic. The dashboard has all the necessary indicators and gauges that are easily visible and conveniently located. By the way, the tachometer is not installed on all Chevrolet Lanos cars. Owner reviews indicate that the luggage compartment of the car is quite roomy - 322 liters, and with the disassembled rear seats in the proportion of 60/40 - 958 liters. So loading a couple of bicycles or several sacks of potatoes into a car is a completely solvable matter.
Chevrolet Lanos. Specifications and safety
Reinforced body structure (reinforced rear and front pillars, passenger frame), inertial belts, driver - the manufacturer took care of both the active and passive safety of the driver and passengers. The latest cars on Chevrolet crash tests received a score of 10.5, but before it was only 6 points!
The basic equipment includes an engine with a volume of one and a half liters (86 hp), radio and audio preparation, an acoustic system with two pairs of speakers, steel wheels, body-color bumpers, a spare wheel, front cup holders, rear window heating, rear mudguards, a pillow driver safety,
Chevrolet Lanos. Owner reviews
We can say that the Chevrolet Lanos is a car that combines value for money as well as possible. Simplicity, reliability of operation, availability of maintenance - all this is Chevrolet Lanos. Owner reviews indicate that in most cases, Lanos made in South Korea and Poland combine the best quality, assembly and anti-corrosion metal processing. If you have a choice between Ukrainian and Polish Lanos, then choose the latter. However, keep in mind that when buying a used car, it is important to know in what conditions it was used.
Lanos is one of the most popular models of the end of the last and the beginning of this century. The car was produced under the Korean brand Daewoo, under the Ukrainian ZAZ, was of Ukrainian assembly, Korean, Polish. At the peak of its popularity in 2005, this inexpensive sedan began to be assembled in Ukraine at ZAT ZAZ specifically for the Russian market under the well-known Chevrolet brand. For 5 years, according to the signed contracts, almost 172 thousand Ukrainian-assembled Chevrolet Lanos cars were delivered to Russia. In 2009, these sedans were delivered under the Chance brand.
Appearance Chevrolet Lanos
Modern car design Chevrolet Lanos
Chevrolet Lanos is a passenger car developed in Korea by Daewoo, but assembled in Ukraine under the control of the American Chevrolet corporation. Lanos comes in various colors: white, green, yellow, red, gold, blue, blue, but the most popular are gray and black. The car is very easily recognizable by the large three-piece front grille and large (compared to the size of the car) oval headlights. Fog lights are located at the bottom of the bumper, or just color-coded plugs if the minimum vehicle equipment was selected. Between the foglights is a rectangular narrow air intake, consisting of 4 sections.
Seen from the stern, the Lanos stands out with its disproportionately long bonnet in relation to its short luggage compartment. Its doors are almost the same size, and oval rear-view mirrors are installed on the sides.
The flat roof turns into a miniature, almost like a hatchback, fifth door. It hides behind a luggage space of 322 liters, but with the seats unfolded, it increases to 958 liters and allows you to carry more overall items. Essential optics, both front and rear, the car does not stand out. It is equipped with standard lights with conventional lamps. Unlike the front optics, the taillights look more angular and vertical on the body of the car, presenting a completely different style.
Chevrolet Lanos is a mid-size car. Its length, width and height are 4237, 1678 and 1432 mm, respectively. The ground clearance is small - 110 mm, and the rims to match the whole car - with a diameter of R13, although the plant provides for the installation of rims and R14, and some owners manage to install wheels of 15-inch and even 16-inch diameter.
Ground clearance is the distance from the ground on which the vehicle is standing to the bottom of the vehicle. Also called "clearance".
Salon Chevrolet Lanos
Salon Lanos is characterized by rounded shapes that follow the contours of the body
Inside this car, everything is very simple: a sinuous wavy dashboard made of standard plastic, a bright standard instrument panel opposite a steering wheel that is easy to grip, a center console with a minimal set of levers and buttons, and a conventional radio tape recorder, or just a box for it, if this is a very simple version. Perhaps only audio preparation will be made from standard materials.
Salon Lanos is characterized by rounded shapes that follow the contours of the body. The predominant upholstery material for door cards and seats is fabric, although at least half of the area of each door is made of plastic. The front seats can be adjusted mechanically - forward, backward and backrest.
Vehicle Specifications
Chevrolet Lanos is equipped with only one 1.5-liter gasoline engine
The choice of engines in this model is completely absent, since the Chevrolet Lanos is equipped with only one 1.5-liter gasoline engine, which works in conjunction with a 5-speed manual transmission, which also does not provide other options. This gasoline power unit develops 86 horsepower and 130 Nm of torque, while consuming 10.4 liters of fuel in city mode and 5.2 liters outside the city on the highway.
The main technical characteristics of the "people's car" can be shown in the form of a table.

The brakes on the car are ventilated discs in front and drums on the rear pair of wheels. This is quite enough to make Lanos stop quickly enough even at very high speeds.
The suspension on the Chevrolet Lanos is stiff, but quite comfortable, especially in comparison with most VAZ models that are in the same price category as the Lanos. At the front, it has suspension struts with triangular wishbones and a stabilizer bar, and at the rear, the suspension is based on wishbones.
Anti-roll bar - a special device that is built into the suspension of the car, serves to reduce the number and level of side rolls when cornering.
Driving a Chevrolet Lanos
Many have tried their hand at driving a Chevrolet Lanos or at least some of its modifications. The car quickly responds to turning the ignition key and picks up speed, accelerating not so slowly as for a budget small car - in 12.5 seconds its speed can reach 100 km / h. However, when there are 2-3 more passengers in the car besides the driver, its dynamics disappears somewhere, and it becomes more and more difficult for Lanos to pick up speed. At the same time, the motor can be heard quite clearly in the cabin. Again, we will make allowances for its belonging to a certain class of cars, and, as a result, the lack of the necessary sound insulation. Yes, it was created primarily as a workhorse and as an inexpensive family car.
It is very easy to steer the Chevrolet Lanos, the steering wheel lies comfortably in the hands and allows you to enter sharp turns without much effort. The car easily conquers speeds above 150 km per hour, but then it begins to float slightly on the road (partly due to tires), and its gasoline engine just roars deafeningly. At a speed of 120 km / h, there are no deviations in his behavior: the car confidently holds the road.
Despite the use of inexpensive explosive plastic in the cabin, there is no abundance of squeaks and crickets inside, although they are present. Perhaps, due to the practically absent sound insulation, they are not audible.
Chevrolet Lanos goes through bumps on the road more gently, efficiently and imperceptibly than its competitors in the price niche - Daewoo Matiz, VAZ 2110 and Kalina.
