5 new Chinese sedans for the price of LADA Vesta Sportline
The new LADA Vesta Sportline with a “bold” body kit, sports suspension, exhaust and brakes, unique decorative elements, as well as a spicy 118-horsepower engine paired with a five-speed manual gearbox will cost at least 2,176,000 rubles. What do Chinese foreign cars offer us for this money?

The “warmed up” VAZ flagship is built on the basis of the top-end Techno configuration, with a large bouquet of all kinds of options. In particular, a vertical interactive multimedia tablet with a diagonal of 10.4 inches, a graphic instrument panel with the ability to display navigation, an air conditioning system, parking sensors and a rear view camera, as well as heated seats and headlights. As a bonus, there are stylish 17-inch rollers, which give the image a special charm and dynamic look. Hey, owners of regular LADA Vesta, don’t be so loudly jealous! But will owners of foreign cars salivate even if they come from China? Okay, let’s take a look.

CHANGAN ALSVIN

Today this car is the cheapest foreign sedan on the Russian market. The price tag for the model is just under 1,700,000 rubles. For this money, consumers get a car with a 1.5-liter engine that produces as many as 107 ‘horses’. The gearbox is robotic, ‘wet’ and equipped with a few clutches. In a metropolis, two pedals are of course much better than one. But the five-speed “preselective” is unlikely to compete with Vesta when starting from a traffic light. Just like the little 15th wheels will entertain the “ladders”. But the arsenal includes a sunroof and a side camera integrated into the right rear-view mirror.

OMODA S5

This sedan wants to show with all its appearance that it does not want to be a “state employee” for its 2,160,000 rubles. But the slowly whirring aspirated engine of approximately 113 ‘stallions’ says something different. The transmission is a variator, which is not averse to “dropping” during acceleration and overheating in the snow. However, the panoramic sliding roof, all-round vision system and cruise control will certainly neutralize the features of the continuously variable transmission for many, if not to “inflate” the concepts. And for those who want that, there is a faster unit with a power of 147 hp, which does not require starting and the violence of a CVT. It is true that the additional payment for it will be 110,000 “wooden”. A cascade of ultra-fashionable security systems will add another 200,000.

KAIYI E5

And in this Asian sedan for 2,195,000 rubles, everything is relatively harmonious. Here you have a comprehensive set of electronic options, heated seats and windshield washers, and a high-torque engine that produces 147 horsepower from a 1.5-liter displacement. The engine is accompanied by a variator, the calibrations of which, although not ideal, are quite consistent with the pressure of the power source. But the rims on the wheels, as well as the multimedia display itself, could have been slightly larger so that Vesta owners would not feel like winners.

BAIC U5 PLUS

For 2,045,000 rubles, fans of this “heavenly” sedan will get a modest 105-horsepower engine and a five-speed manual transmission. However, for an additional 70,000, the manual gearbox is replaced by a variator, which will obviously have to work hard to somehow justify the driver’s desire for dynamic takeoff. But here the multimedia complex screen is 2 inches larger, combined with a digital instrument cluster, but the wheels are 1 inch smaller and there is no heating.

YELLOWISH EMGRAND

The main novelty in the sedan segment on the Russian market from a brand that does not need recommendations. It looks juicy, is generously equipped and drives smoothly. Under the hood of the model for 2,000,000 rubles there is a 1.5-liter engine with a power of 122 horsepower. pp., linked to a five-speed “mechanics”, which adequately repels the attack of the driver’s energy. “Skin-face”, heating of everything and everyone, diodes even in the high beams, and the largest multimedia display in its class with a diagonal of 12.3 inches.

By the way, the “neat” here is of comparable size. But the additional cost for an honest (without exaggeration, the most reliable) six-speed hydromechanical “automatic” is 200,000 rubles. And for fashionable lighting through the stern, 17-inch “rollers”, as well as a hatch and a bunch of security systems, you will have to pay another “two hundred”. But you have to admit: without them you can generally impress LADA fans.
