The review of the new commercial car "Next-GAZelle" (thermobook and awning)

New design, ergonomic cabin, enlargedbetween-repair interval of 20 thousand kilometers ... What is this commercial vehicle? No, not the Mercedes Sprinter and not the Volkswagen Crafter. This is a new truck from the Gorky car industry called "Next-GAZel". Thermobus and awning, bead and platform - this is an incomplete list of all modifications of the novelty. Well, let's take a closer look in the new small-tonnage commercial vehicle of the "Next" model.

Appearance

The truck "GAZelle" - the thermobook has absolutelyAnother design, which no longer recalls its previous series of 1995 and 2003-ies. Immediately visible smooth aerodynamic lines and contours, which will not only attract the attention of buyers, but also allow the novelty to reduce the total fuel consumption by several percent. The effective grille is harmoniously combined with the bumper and successfully completes the appearance of the car. In the development of the cockpit, engineers took into account one important feature for every city carrier - visibility. After all, every day the driver with difficulty avoids emergencies in traffic jams and at unloading points. Now, due to the large windshield, the car owner will be able to fully control the situation, folding "overboard", and respond in time to regular "teapots". Massive rear-view mirrors will also contribute to the timely reaction of the driver on the road and upon arrival at the loading / unloading points.

Interior

The new "Next-GAZelle" -mothermaker made a bigstep towards buyers, significantly increasing the level of comfort when riding. Particularly praiseworthy are the seats (in particular, the driver's), which can be adjusted in several positions. Side support rolls are now more massive, which allows the driver to work without significant fatigue.

The various noise and vibrations in the cabin, which haunted GAZelle for two generations, are a thing of the past. Finishing materials are not only beautiful, but also pleasant to the touch.

Specifications of body and load capacity

It is worth noting that "Next-GAZel" (thermobus)according to the documents has the same load capacity, as its predecessors (that is, 1500 kilograms). Despite this, the company has developed modifications with a long chassis that can accommodate up to 6 europallet cargo. The standard 3-meter auto "Next" contains only 5 pallets. "GAZELLE" -the new-made-at-a-glance machine can be converted into a refrigerator at the request of the client. The awning now has a rectangular construction (earlier cars "GAZelle" had slightly narrowed bodies), thanks to which the cargo compartment volume increased to 11 cubic meters in standard modification. The same volume is also used for isothermal trucks "Next".

"GAZelle" - a thermobus: price

The minimum cost of a low-tonnage vehicle"Next" is about 700 thousand rubles. It's only 19 thousand rubles more expensive than the last series of "GAZelle-Business" in the diesel version. Looking at such a pricing policy, we can predict that in two years the cars "Next" completely replace all the old models of GAZ-3302 cars of the first and second generations.
