"Svyatogor" ("Moskvich-Svyatogor"): technical characteristics, reviews and prices (photo)
"Moskvich-214145-Svyatogor" is a 5-doorA car that was produced at the Moscow plant AZLK since 1997. In comparison with the previous models of 2140, this novelty received a completely different line of engines, and also significantly changed its appearance. "Svyatogor-Moskvich" in its kind is very similar to the popular foreign cars of the 1990s. But is it so inside? Answers to these and many other questions are searched in our auto review.
Design
As we noted earlier,"Moskvich-2141-Svyatogor" (photo of this car you can see on the left) is very similar to cars of foreign origin, which were serially produced in the 90s. And it really is so - the design of "Svyatogor" by the then standards could not be called obsolete. For the first time on it were used rounded headlights, which significantly modernized the look of the car. The bumper of "Moskvich" is very simple - it is not painted in the color of the body and made of plastic. At the bottom there are places for fixing the fog lamps (they could be installed by the car owner, if desired). The discs "Moskvich-Svyatogor" has stamped - casts were not in this model ever.
The overall design of the body of the car is very similarVAZ of the ninth family - there is a very similar profile between them. However, the presence of incomprehensible angularity did not make the car old and in no way reflected on the external appearance from the negative side. The architecture of the hood, wings and doors on the "Svyatogor" is the simplest - about any relief forms at that time the domestic car industry did not even dream. At the same time, the lack of pathos significantly reduced the cost of constructing the machine.
Dimensions and capacity
As for a hatchback class car, "Svyatogor"Moskvich "has quite standard dimensions. So, the length of the body is 4.35 meters, width - 1.69 meters, height - 1.4 meters. The total volume of the luggage compartment is 370 liters.
"Svyatogor-Moskvich" - technical characteristics
In 1997 at the plant AZLK it was decided to equip the hatchback Svyatogor with engines of the French brand Renault. So, in the range of power units there were the following settings:
- F3R.
- F7R.
- F4R.
Renault F3R
This engine was developed in the early 80'syears of the last century and was serially installed on the French car "Reno-Laguna", and also on "Megan" of the first generations. On all the above machines, this power unit was installed transversely, but it was installed longitudinally on the Moskvich. Therefore, for correct work with the transmission, our engineers have made small changes in the design of the engine F3R.
According to technical characteristics F3R is an eight-valve two-liter petrol unit with 4 cylinders. The total power of this engine is 113 horsepower.
Judging by the reviews, the French F3R was veryhigh-speed, although for the quiet movement of its elasticity was quite enough. By the way, it was this unit of the entire line that owned the most optimal power-traction characteristics, so it was the most in demand among domestic motorists.
Specialists consider this engine to be one of the most successful in automotive history, as its total resource reaches 500 thousand kilometers.
Dynamic characteristics of "Svyatogor-Moskvich"had quite good. Thanks to 113 "horses", the maximum speed that he could develop reached 175 km per hour. Dynamics of acceleration in the car with this engine was also quite good - "a hundred" he dialed in just 11 seconds. But, what is most remarkable - this unit corresponds to the norms of exhausts "Euro-2" (and this is the motor of the construction of the 80's!).
But there are drawbacks to such a car as "Moskvich-Svyatogor" 2.0. The owners' comments mark the high cost of spare parts for it, as well as the frequent lack of necessary spare parts on the Russian market.
The F7R engine
This unit was installed on many modificationsthe car "Moskvich-2141". Among them are such rare versions as "Ivan Kalita", "Prince Vladimir", and also "Duet". Unlike the first described engine, the F7R was sixteen-valve. This design has significantly increased the power of the unit by 32 horsepower. The working volume of the power plant is also 2 liters, but the torque increased by 17 N / m and is 188 N / m at 4.5 thousand rpm.
Like the previous version, this engineis highly revolving. As for the dynamics, in this respect Svyatogor with the F7R engine was one of the leaders among all domestic cars, which were then produced serially in Russia. "The Hundred" he dialed in just 11 seconds, while the "maximal" was as much as 190 kilometers per hour.
F4R unit
This engine is alsoand has a working volume of 2.0 liters. However, what distinguishes it from its previous "brethren" is the total capacity, which is equal to 140 "horses". By the way, this unit meets the Euro-3 standard in terms of exhaust emissions.
Operational experience
Many who had Svyatogor in service,called this machine unique. And these are not empty words. To prove this, you can at least bring even the power units that are installed on this car. In fact, they do not require major repairs over 500 thousand kilometers - that is, power plants can be considered eternal here. Also, the acceleration dynamics and the moderate fuel consumption, which keeps within 10 liters per 100 kilometers, are pleased.
But this is not the last, for which motorists praise"Moskvich". The interior of the car also deserves everyone's attention. Yes, it is possible by today's standards, the interior design is too ascetic, but the impression of the trip can not be compared to any VAZ. Even that "Russian Mercedes" (VAZ-2107) was far inferior to "Svyatogoru" in quality of assembly and level of comfort. The stove, unlike the VAZ, works flawlessly and heats even in the worst frost. In winter, the car starts with a half-turn, even if on the street minus 30. True, as drivers say, this requires a good battery and timely replacement of oil (however, like all other elements and parts of the car). Among the significant failures can be noted except that the thermostat malfunction and the wiper drive.
But, what is most interesting, is the costcar. In a good condition, "Svyatogor" can be purchased for only 20-30 thousand rubles. However, after purchasing the car, motorists advise carefully to handle the body with anticorrosion, otherwise it will cover with brown coating throughout the perimeter. And when buying, you should refrain from choosing the already rusty "Muscovites", since it is almost impossible to eliminate this problem. Because you have to completely rebuild the bottom. Although in Russia "Svyatogor" with a perfectly clean and not rusty body is quite possible to find. When operating, remember the main thing - if you take care of the car, it will thank you the same!
Moskvich-Svyatogor: tuning
Among the owners of the "Muscovites" of the 2141st model is veryfew are engaged in external tuning. The fact is that the various plastic skirts and spoilers specifically for this hatchback model are not produced in the same way as for the "Seven". Therefore, to find something suitable for the owner of "Svyatogor" is a very difficult task. Motorists conceived only limited to the tinting of glasses, the installation of cast fifteen-inch wheels and the painting of the body in the metallic color (or airbrushing) of the Moskvich-Svyatogor car. The headlights are equipped with "cilia", or they get alternative optics. Rear view mirrors can be supplied from Opel. In general, the option for external tuning is quite enough - you just need to find a suitable kit and STO / atelier.
As for the technical part, here mattersthings are simpler. "Reno's" engine to change and force is unreasonable, since it already has normal characteristics. Another thing is transmission. It can be replaced with a gearbox from the German "Audi". The brake system is also slightly modified. Here motorists change front brakes to "Volgovskie", more reliable. We do not recommend changing the suspension to a more rigid one, however, for those who like sports driving, we will tell you how to do this. Some shorten the springs or install details of "handicraft production". But in order to be sure that the car does not leave in the ditch when turning, it is better to restrict the installation of sports gas shock absorbers.
Interior
The inside of the car is processed bytaste of the car owner. Interior can be sewed with any material. We recommend using a carpet for carving the ceiling, and for doors - vinyl or alcantra. Seats and steering wheel are also being replaced. Sports seats will be either bought on disassembly, depends only on your taste. Comfort from this will not decrease. Although many motorists emphasize the rigidity of sports seats and recommend installing them from foreign cars such as "Ford", "Audi" and so on.
The gearbox knob also changes to an alternate one. Its design is chosen according to your taste. To emphasize the overall interior design and add a bit of convenience to the interior, get the pedal pads in the style of "aluminum".
Radio tape recorder
Finally, you can rework the audio system. Mount the subwoofer in the trunk is not worth it (it is already too small), but the more powerful speakers on the rear shelf and the new radio are quite suitable for the domestic "Moskvich". However, here it is necessary to approach with special attention to the dimensions of the acoustic elements. Otherwise, you will have to cut holes for them, and possibly drill new ones. For the sound quality of music, 4 columns are enough, among which two are installed on the front panel and two - on the rear shelf. Remember and about the battery - powerful acoustics strongly discharges it.
