The official price for the “Grant” has not yet been announced, so we decided to focus on the information some dealers have provided us with. Five fairly popular and reliable cars fall into the said “fork” of awards. So let’s start with the German.
Opel Astra
The stated price range will fit a 2008 Astra sedan or hatchback with a mileage of less than 100,000 km. The car is bigger and more prestigious than Grants, and the equipment list includes ABS as well as climate control, electric power steering and xenon. As for the power unit, we recommend choosing a 1.4-liter naturally aspirated engine with 140 powers, which is accompanied by the “mechanics”. It is one of the most reliable and does not require expensive maintenance.
Kia Rio and Hyundai Solaris
This Korean couple is super popular because there are many cars on the market. Their lion’s share – with a 1.6-liter engine (123 hp) and an “automatic”. By the way, our choice fell on two-pedal ones, because the automatic transmission of the “Koreans” is much more reliable than the “mechanics”. True, they also have a common drawback. Rio and Solaris are very popular in taxis and carsharing, so you may come across a “murdered” car made “shamanic” and even twisted the miles. That’s why you have to choose carefully. Even the help of a car picker is in order here.
Volkswagen Polo
The 2015-2017 sedan with a range of 90,000 km also costs as a “simplified” Granta. If we talk about the power unit, then under the hood of most cars there is a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine with an output of 110 horsepower. Of. Gearboxes – 5-speed “mechanics” or 6-speed “automatic”. The main enemy of the latter is overheating and oil pollution. This is common among specimens that worked in carsharing and taxis, so here the advice is the same as when choosing “Koreans”. Invite a person well versed in used cars to inspect.
BONUS: LADA Vesta
At the price of the budget “Grants” you will find “Vesta” 2016-2019 release. It is much more comfortable and the model itself is fresh. It is best to look for sedans with a 1.6-liter engine of 106 powers and a manual transmission. Here you only have to remember that the pump is replaced after 40,000 km, so it is better to do this immediately after purchase, plus update the timing belt. Then the engine will not fail. As for the more powerful 1.8 liter engine, which has driven more than 60,000 km, it may suffer from oil consumption. But if you have already decided, it is better to choose the unit with “mechanics”, because the “robot” pulls when shifting, and the French “variator” requires a lot of maintenance.
