Are the ravon r3 years reliable. Ravon R3 Nexia (Ravon R3 Nexia) reviews about the car

30.10.2019

Miscellaneous

Love for abbreviations in the East, especially when it comes to cars, is a well-known thing. It makes no sense to list Chinese brands famous for their intricate decodings, but Ravon is nothing more than “Reliable Active Vehicle On Road”. In general, a reliable, active car on the road. Let us suppose.

The Nexia R3 model, which turned out to be on our test, nee Chevrolet Aveo T250 series of 2006, was summed up under the concept. Of course, as with any Jim model, you can find something in common with the very Nexia, grown on the basis of the Opel Kadett. But the parallels are too far.

The fate of the sedan was very successful. Designed by Italdesign Giugiaro, the car appeared under all sorts of brands, including Pontiac and Suzuki, and was produced in more than a dozen assembly plants around the world and, in particular,. And now, 10 years later, they remembered him again ...

In the footsteps of Giugiaro

Italian design traditionally seems to be somewhat different, because even the portrait of Giugiaro under the windshield of the Nexia R3 is unlikely to convince anyone of the opposite. Naturally, GM, at the dawn of designing the inexpensive Aveo T250, focused mostly on emerging markets, would not have ordered an exclusive. But if you look at the clones of our sedan, you immediately understand that each of the manufacturers tried to contribute to the exterior, without, of course, going beyond the boundaries of body panel stamps.

Raven is no exception. In addition to the branded emblem on the car, the bumper slots and lighting equipment in them were slightly changed. When the ignition is on and the headlights are off, DRLs are automatically turned on. It is enough to turn the inner ring of the steering column switch - fog lights are lit. Everything is logical and looks good, just forget about the smoldering dimensions - just spit: no sound warning for you at the exit, although it should be. During the night, a 55 A / h battery is discharged to zero. Verified by personal experience.

However, all this is fixable with skillful hands, but something else has alerted. A detailed examination of the freshly washed car revealed a rusty drip. The places where the window frames are welded to the doors are clearly a weak “link”. But for now, I just erase the plaque with my finger, pretending that nothing happened - once, as they say, an accident.

What will we save on?

In the cold, the windows were frosted over, covered from the inside with a layer of ice. The lock also got it, which can only be opened with a key with a toothed beard - the remote control is not provided even in the top version of Elegant.

It took about ten minutes from the moment the engine was started to warm up the cabin to a more or less comfortable temperature. But I had to plop down in far from warm chairs. The budget for heating seems to have been eaten by the insatiable GLONASS control, elegantly housed in the body of the interior mirror.

For almost 10 years, the Aveo interior has not changed much, no matter how the car is now called. True, the test version was too southern. There is an interior of the color of baked milk, including plastic, but there is also a massive black insert, into which almost all devices and buttons are driven. It looks good, but is such decor practical in our climate?

This is especially true for light fabric upholstery. Quality and texture - about those 579,000 rubles that they ask for this copy, but the matter is not at all slippery and even reminiscent of furniture. Nice, cozy, but I wonder how difficult it will be to wash off dirt. I did not check.

The design and ergonomics of the front panel are one to one Chevrolet, not counting the tidy, which has become two-limb, with a monochrome route display in the middle. To change the indication on it, I reach for the pimp on the protective glass. Old school!

Attempt at writing

Fuel consumption is reset, and you can start. The main innovations for the crossed Aveo are the 106-horsepower 1.5-liter 16-valve B15D2, aka BDOHC Gen 2 L2C, aka S-TEC III developed by Daewoo (GM Korea) and manufactured by GM Powertrain Uzbekistan, as well as GM 6-speed "automatic" 6T30. There are versions with a 5-speed manual gearbox, but we are not talking about them now ...

The engine is well known from the Chevrolet Cobalt, the automatic transmission from a variety of Jim's cars from Daewoo Gentra to Buick LaCrosse and Opel Antara. The differences are in the details, so we can say that Nexia got the transmission of almost noble origin.

Overboard -15, but it is felt mainly by the frozen shock absorbers - the overheated stove as a result perfectly heated the interior. The first speed bump R3 Nexia passes quite hard, as if tamping into the asphalt. Not so much the front MacPherson strut, but the rear axle with a semi-independent beam.

Acceleration, from 0-100 km/h

But after a couple of kilometers, the discomfort disappears, and it turns out that the suspension is almost omnivorous on bumps, even if it didn’t have time to slow down. Everything was the same on Aveo, for which, however, he was loved almost as much as Logan. The most curious thing is that the hard plastic, which abounds in the interior, does not emit a single creak.

Time for annoying little things

You can find fault with the imperfect mating of the front panel parts, but they are firmly attached to each other. About the same as the driver with his seat, from which you definitely won’t slip out, thanks to the surprisingly massive backrest bolsters. But they themselves are short, as are the pillows, and therefore, for the sake of ease of landing, you need to pretty conjure with the adjustments.

With the door closed, it looks more like the same dance with a tambourine. If in the longitudinal direction the seat is regulated by a seat frame, and the angle of inclination of the backrest by a lever, then a rotating wheel was left to set the chair in height, as in Aveo. With a weight of under 90 kg, to lift yourself, grabbing the disk only with your fingers - the brush will not crawl through, - the exercise is something else.

But there is no other way out, one tilt of the steering wheel - it is not adjustable for reach - is indispensable. In the end, everything is reduced to a common denominator, but the four-spoke steering wheel itself is painfully elegant. Not at all in size, but in the thickness of the rim: not at all under a man's hand. In addition, it is without any tightness, although it is elastic.

Equally elastic and very steering. While the car has not started, turning the steering wheel is a task for two hands, and on the go it is far from easy. But there is no void, the position of the wheels feels good, and the reactive force returns the steering wheel close to “zero”.

Still, it's not worth pretending to be a rally driver on the R3. With all the adequacy of the suspension, the work of the power steering and its settings remained a mystery to me. In a slow 90-degree turn, the "hydrach" was openly on strike, throwing off the whole burden of work. But at speed did not cause the slightest complaint.

Maybe Ravon Nexia R3 is still for passengers who are unaware of the hardships of a driver's life? The navigator's seat is no less comfortable than the driver's seat, but what if you sit in the back? Indeed, Aveo at one time actively used “bombs”, even taking into account the modest width of the rear row. Two adults and a child - yes, without him - with comfort. Even in height and partly for the knees, but three adults is an unacceptable bust.

Surely the designers knew this, because they did not inflate the trunk to incredible sizes: 400 liters for everything about everything, but this is a lot, taking into account the full-size spare wheel and folding backs of the sofa. Only to the top of this "box" you will not fill.

With movement priority

The pride of this car is the regular ESC, which is even on the basic version for 479 thousand rubles. ABS, a pair of airbags (one in the base), shockproof beams in the front and rear doors, and even a bumper that is safe for pedestrians are attached to it. It is better to just believe in the quality of the work of passive systems, but active ones turned out to be such.

With all my surprise, the stabilization worked when there was absolutely no way without it: in a slippery turn, during sharp maneuvers in the snow, strangling the engine and releasing the grip as soon as the car entered the desired course. Perhaps she would have intervened more actively if the sedan did not have the toothy spikes Yokohama Ice Guard, on which we even drove into a godforsaken, barely cleared country road. The tires and the car did not fail even once, even taking into account the alternating slush and severe frost.

The brakes did not disappoint either - grippy, despite the rear drums, with an average pedal travel and a predictable effort at the beginning and at the end of working with them. To hear the chatter of ABS, you need to try very hard. But if you “give the brakes” wholeheartedly, everything works. How about "give it gas"? Yes, easily!

The Cobalt engine, "humiliated" in terms of ecology to the Euro-5 standard, turned out to be very peppy, and right from the start. And then he is helped by a wonderful six-speed hydraulic automatic, which is unusual to see on a budget car.

Brief specifications

Dimensions, mm (L / W / H): 4 330 / 1 690 / 1 505 Engine: B15D2 Power: 1.5 liters. 106 HP Transmission: 6-speed, automatic Drive: Front Fuel tank volume, l: 45

Acceleration comes out quite assertive, despite a modest 141 Nm of torque. Let this maximum be real only at 3,800 rpm, but the motor is elastic, and it “rides” already from 2,500. The soundtrack is not annoying, but if I were the owner, I would add “shumka”. And not so much a motor shield as arches.

We provide detailed information about the five-seat sedan Ravon Nexia R3 of the configuration and prices for which demonstrate the absolute competitiveness of the model.

Looking at any of the cars of the Ravon brand, you involuntarily notice some similarities with models that were already on the Russian market. Yes, that's exactly what it is - these are modernized and time-tested cars developed by the American auto giant GM. This fact is only a plus for the Uzbek manufacturer, especially considering that the cost of its products for Russia is quite affordable for a wide range of motorists.

Ravon Nexia R3 configuration and prices 2019

This time-tested car is considered a modernized version of the Chevrolet Aveo T 250. Its debut took place in 2015, and the start of sales in 2016. Despite the fact that the Uzbek manufacturer has done a little work on updating the design, it is not difficult to catch a distant resemblance to its predecessor.

It partially shows through in the nuances of the interior and exterior. Having already spent several successful years on Russian roads, the sedan has proved that in terms of performance it is in no way inferior to more expensive brands of cars.

Comfort;
Optimum;
Elegant.

The main difference between them is a set of additional options that increase the comfort of using a car, the presence of a manual or automatic transmission. From a technical point of view, the parameters are identical.

More about the engine and technical stuffing Ravon Nexia R3

An affordable price and a modern set of car options are far from all that interests the buyer. An equally important aspect when choosing a vehicle is the characteristics of the power unit.

Under the hood of the Nexia P3 there is a 1.5-liter DOHC gasoline chain engine. The maximum power given out by it is 106 l / s with a speed of 5800 per minute. The design of the unit includes two overhead camshafts, 4 cylinders and 16 valves. The specified power allows you to accelerate the car to the first hundred in 11.2 seconds.

The main advantage of this type of motor is reliability. Subject to the correct driving style of the car and proper maintenance of the unit, he is able to pass more than 200 thousand before his first serious MOT. In order for the internal combustion engine to demonstrate the productivity of its work for as long as possible, the manufacturer recommends using high-quality oils and observing the terms for replacing it.

Depending on the choice of configuration, a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission will operate in tandem with the engine. Manual transmission is provided only for the basic and one of the middle versions of the sedan.

The brake system of the classical type is represented by front disc and rear drum mechanisms. The front suspension of the sedan is MacPherson type independent, the rear semi-independent, torsion bar.

We will tell you in detail about the configuration and prices of the Ravon Nexia R3 a little lower, after a brief review of the exterior and interior of the car.

Sedan exterior

The appearance of the passenger car is a harmonious combination of simple and uncomplicated body lines. The streamlined silhouette is formed by smooth transitions from the front hood to the roof and a sloping descent to the stern. A slightly aggressive front bumper with an unusual shape of head optics and clearly drawn large fog lights gives the car an aggressive touch.

Dimensions

The dimensions of the car allow it, on the one hand, not to get lost in the traffic flow and, on the other hand, not to spend a lot of time looking for a parking space in the parking lot. The body length of the sedan is 4330 mm, the width is 1690 mm, the height is just over one and a half meters. The ground clearance of the model is 170 mm (the distance is taken into account from the road surface to the lowest element of the body).

The manufacturer offers 12 different body colors. From classic, bright and mother-of-pearl shades, everyone can choose their favorite option.

Ravon Nexia interior

When you get into the cabin, no stiffness in the movements is not felt. There is enough space for resolution, both in the front and in the back row. The standard seat adjustment system allows you to comfortably sit in the driver's or passenger's seat.

Inexpensive materials were used for interior trim, but thanks to the seasoned style, the interior looks quite presentable. The dashboard with a protective visor and anti-reflective surface, a comfortable steering wheel and a slightly advanced center console catches the eye.

The color scheme of the interior can be monophonic or two-tone. The choice is available depending on the configuration. You can also vary the option of finishing with textiles or plastic on the lower part of the front panel and on the inside of the doors.

Throughout the cabin there are small pockets and compartments to accommodate all sorts of little things. As for a budget car model, the profile of the front seats and rear sofa is very comfortable. The upholstery is made of practical water-repellent fabric.

The informative dashboard is perfectly readable at any time of the day. Ergonomically located on the center console, climate control and multimedia system controls are within easy access from the driver's seat. The upper part of the windshield in the Optimum and Elegant versions is tinted.

The Ravon Nexia R3 multimedia system supports several formats (USB, AUX, MP3). You can connect your smartphone via Bluetooth. In addition to entertainment options, the manufacturer has equipped the car with ABS and ESC systems, which facilitate control in difficult situations.

In custody

After getting acquainted in more detail with the Ravon Nexia R3 - an Uzbek-made sedan, having disassembled the technical equipment, looking and comparing it with competitors, it will be easier to choose the appropriate version of the car for driving around the city and pleasant trips into nature.

On Russian roads, the sedan feels confident, the harsh climate endures very well. He is not whimsical in service. To keep the machine in “good shape”, it is enough to carry out scheduled and recommended maintenance by the manufacturer in a timely manner.

Formally, Ravon has not done anything reprehensible: everyone has the right to rewrite prices for their products. In any size and at any time - so you and I should not grumble. And yet, the marketing move of the young Uzbek brand turned out to be not very beautiful, although - if we discard the moral aspect - it borders on genius. By the way, I don’t remember a similar act on the part of any other manufacturer. So what happened anyway?

Having launched the Ravon Nexia (aka Chevrolet Aveo of the previous generation) and Ravon R2 (Chevrolet Spark) on the market, the Uzbeks “hung” extremely attractive price tags on both models. The price for the Nexia started at 419,000 rubles and automatically made it the most affordable sedan after the Lada Grants. It was possible to become the owner of R2, which comes to us exclusively with a machine gun, for only 409,000 rubles. Of course, the media immediately informed everyone and everyone that Ravon was making a damn good offer to buyers. And then - suddenly! ..

When the printed automotive press and the main Internet portals tested the new products from Asaka and flattered the combination of price and quality, the cost of Ravon products went up. The basic versions of Nexia and R2 have risen in price by 60,000 rubles at once - and this is a very impressive 15%! And although the Nexia is still a good option for a budget sedan, and the little R2 is still the most affordable car with two pedals, you don’t want to turn a blind eye to imperfections. Today we are talking about Nexia, which showed itself well during our recent.

I will make a reservation right away - the test Ravon Nexia R3 in the maximum configuration of Elegant with a 6-speed automatic has risen in price less than other versions (+10,000 rubles) and now costs 579,000 rubles. But after the company so easily and cheerfully left all the press in the cold, I look at this car with slightly different eyes. And the first thing that annoys them is the build quality.

To be honest, it is impossible to say that the test Nexia is assembled poorly. Compared to the Ravon Gentra sedan, which was on our test a year ago, everything is fine with the Nexia. The doors close the first time, and all four - with the same effort. The cabin is not as distinct as before, reeks of phenol. And yet, even a picky person will notice uneven gaps between the black glossy platform and its chrome trim at the base of the automatic transmission selector, the warped plastic panel under the windshield and the shaking plastic lining of the driver's threshold. Despite the fact that such jambs are not found on every instance, they speak eloquently of the instability of quality.

In all other respects, the interior of the new Nexia makes an excellent impression. The landing geometry is good, the front seats are comfortable. From the point of view of ergonomics, the Ravon R3 is completely preferable to both Grants and Logan - their competitors in the aforementioned test. Perhaps the only thing that betrays the age of the car (Chevrolet Aveo T250 debuted in 2006) is the small pockets in the front doors, not even designed for a half-liter bottle of water. But with everything else - complete order. It is all the more offensive that with such a pleasant picture, the question of quality can draw attention to itself.

By the way, I would like to take this opportunity to make a correction. After the publication of the material, we received a letter from the reader Ilya, which said that the two-color interior with light armchairs was not Ravon's find, as I wrote in the material. Indeed, such interiors were available to buyers of the Chevrolet Aveo T250. But Russian dealers have never had cars with such interiors, and it was this fact that misled. Excuse me!

The driving advantages of Nexia over its main competitors - no matter how pathetic it may sound - are obvious. This is a good one and a half liter engine and a modern six-speed automatic from Chevrolet Cobalt (more recently - Ravon R4). However, such a box is installed not only on Cobalt, but also on a number of GM models. So, the combination of the engine and gearbox gives the sedan absolutely adequate acceleration dynamics and keeps the fuel appetite within reasonable limits. Even in the city, the consumption of Nexia fits into 10 l / 100 km, while Renault Logan with a 1.6-liter engine and an antique four-speed DP2 automatic can burn up to 14-15 liters per hundred.

What frustrates you on the go? Too stiff suspension, unable to adequately work out even implicit coating defects, and frankly poor sound insulation. Moreover, the “Shumka” again forces us to raise the issue of quality: in addition to the weak protection of the wheel arches and the engine compartment, at speeds over 80 km / h, the wind begins to break through the driver’s door seal with a vile whistle. I really hope that quality control in Asaka will be taken under control. And the next Ravon, which we will take for a test in a year, in terms of assembly accuracy will differ from the test Nexia for the better as strikingly as it differs from last year's Gentra.

Summing up, Ravon Nexia R3, even after the rise in price, continues to be one of the most attractive offers in the class. But since the Uzbeks decided to raise prices for their cars by 15% (if we talk about the initial versions), then the demand from them will be different. And if we talk about top-end performances, how about following the price increase to finally equip the Nexia with heated front seats and remote control of the central lock? The introduction of these low-cost production-scale options could easily justify the price increase. And their absence, on the contrary, can scare away - and certainly scare away - some potential buyers. In general, we are waiting for changes for the better in the new year! And we really hope that they will do without another rewriting of the price tag.

Created on the basis of the Chevrolet Aveo T250. Reviews about this car, the owners leave mostly positive. We have collected the most interesting ones for you.

Review of Ravon R3 Nexia, left by Konstantin from Adygea

Ravon R3 OPTIMUM MT 2016

A very long time thinking about what to buy a car. The budget for the purchase was only 500 thousand rubles. After a long search, I found the Ravon website. I found useful information on this site. In particular, I liked the Nexia R3 car. After that, I decided to look through a huge number of reviews about this car on third-party sites. I realized that this car suits me and, after that, I went to buy it at the official dealership, which was located in Moscow. As a result, I bought Nexia R3 on the mechanics in the Optimum configuration. The color chosen is grey.

After a short use of the car, I realized that the car is perfect to drive, and the engine runs without any problems. Previously, I owned a Chevrolet Lanos and he constantly had problems with the engine, which is why I had to visit the service station often.

Also, the car was equipped with electric lifts, a high-quality audio system, four speakers, air conditioning, ABS, tire pressure devices, a built-in on-board computer, running lights, fog lights, electronic mirror adjustment and ESP. From the car, for a small amount of time in use, I get a pleasure.

Cons of the car

Armrest missing.
There is no possibility to adjust the steering wheel height.
Slightly stiff suspension, but it is difficult to attribute to shortcomings.
Body problems. Since the predecessor is the Chevrolet Aveo T250, all the problems remained in this car, namely: the lack of fender liner and the lack of protection on the rear arches.

While the car is in the break-in mode and, soon, the first MOT will take place in the official center.

Car pluses:

Excellent equipment, compared with a small cost for the car.
Excellent ground clearance.
Excellent view of the mirrors.
Roomy trunk.
There is a backlight devices, and most importantly, the speedometer.
Excellent view of the road with low and high beam headlights.
There are running lights and fog lights.
Cheap car repairs due to the inexpensive cost of parts.
Excellent vehicle handling.
There is a system of exchange rate stability, ie. ESP.
The paint job on the car is excellent.

The main disadvantages of the machine:

In total, there is one airbag in the cabin, and it is located on the driver's side.
Slightly stiff suspension.
No steering wheel height adjustment.
One of the main disadvantages is the forced activation of the air conditioner when blowing the windows. To get rid of it, you need to remove the conditioner activator. This question was asked to the manager at the official service center, to which the manager was perplexed. According to him, such problems have not arisen for his many years of work. However, in almost every review on this car you can find this problem.
The constant indignation of passers-by on this car because of its Chinese origin.

Review of Ravon R3 Nexia, left by Mikhail from Moscow

Ravon R3 ELEGANT AT 2016

There was a need to buy a second car. Chose Nexia Ravon R3. The car cost $10,000. Bought not in the cabin, but from the hands. Mileage was only 150 kilometers. The year of release was 2016.

The engine capacity was 1.5 liters, under the hood 16 valves and 107 horsepower. The box was automatic. There were no problems when driving, the automatic transmission works flawlessly. Acceleration to 100 kilometers is 12 seconds.

There were no problems with fuel consumption either. A large trunk and spacious interior allows you to make small trips out of town.

The package also includes air conditioning, which works without any complaints and is perfect for those who often get stuck in traffic jams. The economy class of the cabin, of course, is not very impressive, but it is not very annoying when you are in it. As a result - a great car, economical for the family, especially for such a ridiculous price. However, the machine will show the main sensations only after several months of active use.

At the moment, the impression is this: a comfortable car, with quality characteristics, convenience and a good price.

I bought the P3 car back on January 28 and traveled quite a lot during its use. So formed the appropriate opinion about this car.

Cons of the car

Interior material is one of the cheapest and does not bring much pleasure.
The absence of an armrest is not particularly a disadvantage, but it brings particular discomfort.
Washing the windshield occurs in such a way that the main liquid leaves above the wipers. Because of this, a very high washer consumption.
Turn signal lever. You have to wait a very long time until the light switches from low beam to high beam. Although my fingers are not short, I have to use them to their full length.
Noise isolation and music in the car are closely related. So, in city mode, music is perfectly audible, and when leaving the highway, music is very hard to hear due to poor sound insulation.
There is practically no free space for small things in the door.
The doors themselves are very difficult to close. Even after passing the first MOT, the problem remained from the rear right door.
Material. If the front panel of the car is made of high-quality material, then the material on the door leaves much to be desired. There are permanent marks that are difficult to remove. And if we talk about scratches, then you should try to keep a backpack, handbags or other metal parts near the door as little as possible, otherwise scratches remain from any touch.

Car pluses

Low and high beams leave a positive impression. However, there is one drawback - there is no backlight, but it is not very noticeable.
The stabilization system worked without any complaints.
Chassis. In terms of quality, the chassis can be attributed to something in between, between Toyota and Honda. Even after using a Honda on this car, I was surprised at how comfortable the ride is on rough roads.
By the way, the ground clearance is also sufficient for convenient parking.
The engine of the car is quite quiet and does not cause any particular inconvenience when driving. The thrust of the car is designed for 2 thousand revolutions.
The convenience of the car does not bring positive impressions. The seat is made with high quality, but there is practically no support on the side. Only the armrest helps.
But also the interior of the car is simple and spacious, except for the on-board computer, with which you need to fumble for some time.

Fuel economy is still a mess. If on the highway the car shows a consumption of seven liters on the sensor, then in urban conditions this figure can almost double.
Volumetric trunk.
Economical in terms of fuel consumption.
A small price, regardless of the configuration.

In general, we can say that I am satisfied with the purchase of the car.

Review of Ravon R3 Nexia, left by Alexander from Voronezh

2017 Ravon R3 ELEGANT AT

Before buying a second car, I drove a 2008 Chevrolet Aveo. When the mileage reached 120 thousand kilometers, it was decided to purchase a new car to replace it. During the use of Chevrolet, the car left only one pleasure. Since this model was sold all over Russia, it was problematic to find it. However, by chance, in the search for a budget car, I came across the sale of a converted Aveo under the Ravon brand.

And already on December 28 I went to a car dealership to see and evaluate the condition of the car. The first impression was pleasant. When buying a car there was a New Year's discount of 30 thousand rubles. Bought a car with an automatic transmission. In addition, the package included an alarm system, parking sensors, crankcase protection, a lot of rugs, and anti-corrosion protection was also made. And also made insurance, which cost 8 thousand rubles. And in the evening, after registration, he left in a new car. Joy was immeasurable.

The next day, the car had to be registered with the traffic police. However, to my great surprise, there were no coupons at eight in the morning. A lot of people bought their cars before the New Year. However, when he arrived the next day at four o'clock in the morning, he was only the thirtieth on the ticket. I got everything done in the evening and it took about two hours for all the procedures.

After I bought the car, I noticed that the Era-Glonass system was not working (in this car, all control buttons are located on the rear-view mirror, and the control unit is in the trunk). To all this, the manager replied that you can try this system in other cars, however, it did not work on them either, and in the end I did not attach much importance to this.

The very next day I wanted to test the handsfree system at the radio. Connected to the system all the necessary wires and phone via Bluetooth. When talking, there are problems that the interlocutor is inaudible. I decided to check everything thoroughly again and realized that the Era-Glonass system is directly connected to the microphone. After that, I called the car dealership and signed up for the nearest service to fix this problem.

After arriving at the service, they took the car for two hours, as the master inspector said. The service half dismantled the interior trim.

The end result was that the entire process took five hours, as this is the first time they've had this kind of problem and nothing could be done. After some conversations with the sales department, it was decided to move the unit from another machine to mine, and as a result, everything worked. As they said in the service: a defective part came across, so they will order a new part and have to wait until it arrives to install it.

Review of Ravon R3 Nexia, left by Vladimir from Kyiv

Ravon R3 ELEGANT AT 2016

Good afternoon everyone! In this review, I want to talk about the impressions of the purchase of this car. Before buying, I drove a Lada Granta Lux and I already posted a review about this car here. I drove this car for about two years and that was enough.

In general, there were a lot of cars in my use, as I always wanted something new. So I had used Japanese, German, Korean and Russian cars.

But still, my choice fell on the new Nexia. Why? Since the budget for the purchase of a new car was only 600 thousand and I wanted to buy a new car with an automatic transmission. I didn’t consider all other Chinese, Japanese and other models because of their increased price, but I didn’t want to take a used one. I deliberately sold my Lada in order to purchase this particular car.

I bought a car from an authorized dealer in my city. All standard procedures went very quickly.

The first impression of the car: a quality gearbox, the engine runs like clockwork, without any complaints, the power is 106 hp. does not allow you to drive slowly. One of the disadvantages of this car is the lack of compensators. The body is a mixture of Aveo and sedan. The stuffing of the car is completely from Aveo. Salon of average quality, but the touch is quite pleasant.

The complete set of the car is maximum. It includes ABS, two airbags, power accessories, heated mirrors, air conditioning. In general, this is enough for a middle-class car, especially since only 579 thousand were given for the purchase. In total, drove on it for more than 10 thousand kilometers. Compared to the Aveo T250, the car behaves a little more powerfully on the road, but less powerfully than on the Lada Granta.

There are no particular problems in terms of fuel consumption. On the highway, fuel consumption is about eight liters, and in the city this figure is at the level of 10 liters. There are no special complaints about the build quality, but there are some points that I would like to analyze.

Car pluses

In soundproofing, music, usb inputs, control and comfort, this car is superior to Lada Granta.
The driver's seat can be adjusted in height, which is very convenient, but the steering wheel can only be adjusted for tilt.

In the end, I can say that this car fully met my expectations and no problems can arise in the near future.

This car cannot be compared with Lada Granta in any way, since it is much worse made. From all this we can conclude that this car is ideal in its price category, but the main impression of the car will be only in the future, since it is difficult to say anything specific about a car that has traveled only 10 thousand kilometers.

Review of Ravon R3 Nexia, left by Ashot from Moscow

Ravon R3 ELEGANT AT 2016

In this review, I would like to tell you about my purchase of a car.

I am already 30 years old and I am one of the regular users of this site. Thanks to him, I was able to learn a lot about the various cars of the Ravon brand. Previously, I had a Daewoo Nexia 2014, which I bought in a new form.

I went to Nexia for 2 years and during this time I drove 54 thousand kilometers, and then sold it. The car, of course, is interesting and never, at the same time, failed.

In early March this year, decided to buy a car. At the same time, I didn’t want to buy a used one, but buy a new one in the cabin. In the end, I made up my mind. I sold the old Nexia in two days and went to the AUTOGERMES dealership for a new car.

Why did my choice fall on Ravon?

For a small price, you could buy a beautiful car in a good configuration.
Vehicle reliability.

And also really wanted the car to have a high-quality automatic transmission. But I also wanted to have air conditioning in the car, which is so necessary when you are standing in traffic jams.

And in the end I bought this car. The maximum equipment, which includes: a 6-speed automatic transmission, ABS, ESP, the Era-Glonass system, alloy wheels for 15, an on-board computer, power steering, heated electric mirrors and a tape recorder.

Buying and receiving a new car was only one day. And they also installed an additional Starline alarm, fender liner, bumper net, and also gave a few rugs. The total cost of the car was 549 thousand, and 6 thousand had to be paid for insurance. The additional part bypassed 27 thousand. As a result, 582 thousand rubles.

I believe that this is the best choice of car in terms of price and quality. None of the other manufacturers can provide a similar ratio.

A few words about the use of the car.

To date, the car has traveled about 500 kilometers. The car leaves only a positive impression of use. You can compare the car with Chevrolet, but it will be wrong. It's a completely different car.
