Characteristics and reviews of GAZelle Next with Evotech petrol engine

GAZ Group began mass production of the new EvoTech 2.7 engine

The headlights are excellent, you can clearly see the road at night.
But the car also has disadvantages. On country roads the suspension behaves a bit harshly. The boxes for storing tools and various driver's belongings, located on the footrests under the seats, have plastic lids with flimsy handles; you don't want to open them again, it feels like they're about to break.

Still, if I compare the price of the car and the quality of workmanship, then the shortcomings I discovered are trivial compared to the advantages that the Gazelle Next Farmer has.

My opinion is that the car is modern and reliable, performs well on long business trips, and I personally like its shape in appearance.

Two types of engines are currently installed on Gazelle Next:

Neutral reviews

Advantages:

• Front suspension
• salon
• cost of maintenance.

• Cabin build quality
• electrician
• car dimensions.

But in general it’s not bad, like any car you need to take care of it and then it will serve you faithfully for a very long time. As for the body, it’s not bad that they started installing plastic fenders that never burn out. BUT. Why not calculate the gap between the fender and the door so that when opening the door does not cling to the fender and break it. No other particularly major deficiencies were noticed. As for the quality of electrics, there are also many questions. The rear wiring of carburetor gazelles that have traveled more than 500 thousand kilometers looks better than the wiring of the Next that passed through one winter. It’s very cool when there is a factory central lock and power windows, but it’s not very good when the wiring to them at the entrance to the door is redone after just half a year of using the car. Sweating fog lights, poor contact on power fuses, non-sealed taillights and many more questions about the build quality of the electrics. In terms of comfort for the driver, Next is many times superior to its predecessor, due to the front suspension in which they got rid of the beam, interior and exterior of the cabin.

As a resident of St. Petersburg, I encountered such a problem - Next does not fit into the arches in the courtyards in the center, in this case Business wins.

The engine and chassis will not cause any special problems if you maintain it on time, operate it carefully and pamper your car with original spare parts and consumables.

Thanks to everyone who read the review to the end. I hope it will be useful to you.

The car is great. Yes, of course, it doesn’t happen every once in a while, there are breakdowns, spare parts are made at different factories, and sometimes there are defects. But here we must pay tribute to GAZ. Despite the fact that the spare parts they buy are not cheap and of high quality, they do not break the prices for their products. Of course, in some places it is necessary to reduce the cost of the car, but this is done entirely in non-critical and non-vital components.

149 horses is enough, I don’t feel like it’s being stifled. In comparison with my previous gazelle with the same fireplace. The car doesn’t feel the load at all, even if it’s empty, even if it’s two tons, it moves the same way.

Gasoline Evotech

The first thing a buyer will notice is the difference in price. You can buy a Gazelle Next with an Evotech petrol engine for 160 thousand

rubles cheaper. This often pushes one to purchase just such a configuration, because when an enterprise purchases a fleet of vehicles in bulk, the benefits are obvious. This option is also suitable for those who want to pay a lower interest rate on the loan.

In favor of Evotech, we can say that this is the Gazelle UMZ-4216, well known to us from previous models. The difference lies in the replacement of small consumables with imported analogues and the use of plastic inserts. If you are interested in this topic, then here, if you wish, you can find out more and, if you wish, buy Gazelle Next https://dilergaz.ru/gazel-next/. Thanks to this, engine repair will not require a visit to the showroom; any mechanic who understands domestic engines will be able to determine the cause of the breakdown, and the parts are freely available on the car market.

Characteristics of Evotech

As in the UMZ-4216, Evotech produces 107 hp. With. and 220 N/m of torque. This is enough for cargo transportation, but don't expect fast acceleration. With an empty body, the Gazelle will accelerate to 100 km/h in 30-40 seconds at best.

Gasoline engines are preferable for trucks because their peak speeds are lower. Thanks to this, maximum power is delivered faster.

Many people do not like the reduction in speed. But this is a big plus for commercial equipment. Since the speed is reduced, parts wear out more slowly, and this greatly reduces repair costs, which is especially important for owners of large fleets. The gas distribution system operates on rods and rocker arms, which are less subject to wear than the same chains.

The Evotech gasoline engine was assembled with EURO 5 in mind. This means that it emits less harmful impurities and hazardous combustion products into the atmosphere. Analysts suggest that Russia will sooner or later adopt environmental standards, and owners of gasoline Gazelles will not worry about this.

GAZ presented the GAZelle Next with a 3.0-liter four-cylinder engine

The car starts to break down at 2000 km. At 3800 km the clutch burned out. The service guy said I burned it with a specialist. An invoice was issued for RUR 16,000. I think it's suing.

Advantages:

• No
• I took my first gazelle back in the spring of 1995. It cost exactly $4,000 in Nizhny Novgorod. Compare now.

• No reliability
• I know a lot of people who bought it and got rid of it as soon as possible.

I don't recommend buying. It seems to me that before they were more reliable, poorer, but more reliable. In a year and a half, two Gazelles burned out: Next and a business with the evotech engine. Check your insurance to see if there is a clause regarding a short circuit in an electrical circuit. CASCO does not help, the factory and the seller wash their hands. I've been using the first one for over a year. Sometimes they lose documents, sometimes not everyone comes... The second one burned down two weeks ago. I'm waiting for the conclusion of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. But on site both times they said there was a short circuit. Although I rented a diesel engine, it worked with the usual breakdowns... gearbox repair at 120,000 km...

I bought Next with petrol and went through five thousand at the beginning I was eating 19-20 now 14 liters 95th on 92nd doesn’t go uphill like on a horse-drawn cart from the mountain nothing if there was no wind in one word the sheep invented felt boots no more wonders about the cabin I agree it’s cheerful and that’s it the rest completely sucks, you don’t need to invent anything, have you finalized the business and 405 and that’s enough in one word: chumvtarydsmile

It's a shame and not the car that antifreeze got into the combustion system at 9000 tons of kilometers and what do you think 40,000 tons of rubles it all came out and we waited for the spare part for a month, it sucked Evotek was 405 I didn’t know grief

For passengers, it’s hell, there’s almost no space between the seats, the knees rest against a slight bump or hole, it’s already jumping up and down, there’s no noise, the seats are hard, they were better on the old gazelles.

Advantages:

• Front suspension
• salon
• cost of maintenance.

• Cabin build quality
• electrician
• car dimensions.

149 horses is enough, I don’t feel like it’s being stifled. In comparison with my previous gazelle with the same fireplace. The car doesn’t feel the load at all, even if it’s empty, even if it’s two tons, it moves the same way.

I have a NEXT with Evotech, I took it because I’m used to gasoline engines, I understand at least a little about gasoline engines, the mileage is currently 240 thousand km, the engine is without capital, only replacement of consumables and minor repairs, the engine runs smoothly, without vibrations, noise and there are no knocks, the pickup from the bottom is good. When taxiing, the reactions are clear, it responds well to steering turns, it’s smooth on the runway, it’s not fidgety, the suspension is tight and moderately soft.

Next's diesel engines are beyond praise, good traction and adequate fuel consumption, I worked on this for some time, everything in the car was thought out, down to the smallest detail. The car has reached a completely new level in comparison with previous models. In terms of reliability, Next is pleasing, the car turned out to be of high quality, it doesn’t make brains, and it doesn’t let you down at the right time.

Gazelle Next board, awning, purchased in 15, motor kamins, purchased on lease from a dealer in Minsk. Currently the mileage is 211 thousand km. For 3 years it hasn’t caused any problems, I work on the car every day, the mileage in the region is long. The dealer fully respected the warranty, there were never any disputes, everything was fixed as needed and on time, in this regard it’s really nice. I like the car when I work, and after that the business is much more pleasant and comfortable.

Piston

The engines use a piston group from the South Korean company LG. New pistons with a special molybdenum-based coating have a shorter skirt and are lighter.

I have been the owner of a Gazelle Next Farmer car for about half a year. And in today’s article Gazelle Next Farmer Review, I wanted to talk about my ownership experience and share my opinion.

Over the entire time that I have owned a car, my truck has already covered a little more than 30 thousand km. I chose a basic car and overall I’m happy with the car, it’s a good and reliable workhorse.

And now, in order. My Gazelle has a 4-cylinder petrol engine Evotech A274 106 hp. I wanted a diesel engine, but they were out of stock and I had to take gasoline. The engine is rather weak for such a car, and the consumption is high, according to the passport it says 10 liters, but in reality all 15 - 16 come out, especially uphill against the wind all 20 come out. Therefore, I immediately switched to gas, the consumption is the same, but it’s cheaper in terms of money.

But there is a plus in the gasoline engine, I took the car in winter, it was just frosty, the car started up perfectly, and it’s warm in the car, even if you drive in a T-shirt, although the cabin is large, the rear passengers are also warm. And the car accelerates briskly even with a load, although this is not a racing car, but a truck.

But in general, the car is very convenient and comfortable, the interior is spacious and ergonomic. Even my Gazelle in its basic version is equipped with electric window lifts, heated mirrors, cruise control, and central locking.

Large side mirrors provide excellent visibility, the view from the driver's seat is excellent, there are practically no blind spots

As for me, the seats are very comfortable, they can be perfectly adjusted to suit you, which is important especially on long, tiring trips

The brake system works well, it has never failed in six months, this fact alone speaks volumes.

Negative reviews

My wife and I, too, after the purchase, satisfied, loaded the kitchen with 500 kg, drive 100 km from Moscow, we got there, 3rd and 4th gear, ate, ate, but you can completely forget about the fifth, it doesn’t even pull downhill. Read reviews before purchasing, don't do it like us.

The car starts to break down at 2000 km. At 3800 km the clutch burned out. The service guy said I burned it with a specialist. An invoice was issued for RUR 16,000. I think it's suing.

New design solutions and vehicle efficiency

The Gazelle Next petrol model appeared on the market in mid-2014 and immediately became incredibly popular. First of all, such success is due to the high efficiency and fairly low cost of the car. The installation of a new motor, developed on the basis of the previous unit, helped to achieve these qualities and take its rather high place in the domestic market. At the same time, almost the entire machine has undergone significant modernization, which has made it more modern and practical.

Among other things, the designers paid special attention to reworking the following parts and systems:

1. The engine capacity has been reduced, which is now 9.8 liters.
2. The piston group, cylinder block and combustion chamber have been improved.
3. The cooling system has been completely reconstructed.

   Evotech engine diagram for Gazelle Next

4. The electrical wiring and ignition system have been universalized.
5. Updated seals and connecting parts were used.
6. A new method for fixing components has been developed, which has reduced the dynamic load on the engine.
7. The structural rigidity of the motor is significantly improved.

All these factors are just advantages. It would seem that such a development should have a much higher cost, but in reality everything is completely different. A similar effect was achieved by optimizing many functionally obsolete components and replacing them with newer parts. In addition, the gasoline version of the Gazelle Next has absorbed the best developments of the domestic automobile industry, which could not but affect its functionality and efficiency.

All these qualities allowed this model to receive extremely positive reviews, which once again proves the people's love and quality of the car.

In addition, changing the design of the connecting parts makes it possible to reduce maintenance costs, which is also a significant advantage. As a result of such modernization, parts and components of the machine become less loose during operation, maintaining their integrity and without compromising the basic qualities. Thanks to the reduced level of vibration during engine operation, the Gazelle engine and its components practically do not become loose, which makes it possible to increase the service life of the unit and increase the maximum mileage of the vehicle as a whole.

Economical

Compressed gas is the most cost-effective type of fuel used in commercial vehicles; its use reduces operating costs by 40-50% (depending on mileage and features of a particular model) compared to gasoline and diesel fuel.

• REDUCED OPERATING COSTS
• SERVICE INTERVAL

Important benefits

Lawn Next fuel consumption

In 2014, the Gorky Automobile Plant began production of a new family of medium-duty trucks, Lawn-Next, which were produced in parallel with GAZ-3309 trucks. These vehicles had a payload capacity increased to 5000 kg, a single cabin module installed on Lawn-NEXT, as well as new power units. In 2017, on the basis of Lawn-Next, production of an all-wheel drive version with a load capacity of up to 3 tons will begin, and from 2022 - a model with a load capacity increased to 6 tons.

Lawn-Next

The base engine for Lawn-Next is the in-line 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine YaMZ-53441. It has a volume of 4.43 liters and is capable of developing a power of 149 hp. and reach a torque of 490 Nm. In addition to the domestic turbodiesel, Lawn-Next also installs imported ISF 3.8s turbocharged diesel units with a volume of 3.8 liters and a power of 154 hp.

Gazon-Next fuel consumption per 100 km. Reviews

• Oleg, St. Petersburg. To be honest, when the mechanic told us that management had bought 10 new Lawn Next, we were skeptical. But in reality, everything is not so sad - a very worthy car, I am glad that the manufacturer took into account all the mistakes and corrected a lot of things in the design. We carry construction materials, the car drives just fine. I have a version with a domestic diesel engine, it consumes up to 20 liters when fully loaded - for St. Petersburg this is very little, considering the size of the engine and the nature of my work.
• Victor, Taganrog. Lawn Next with onboard platform. A universal vehicle - you can carry any cargo, if necessary, install an awning and off you go. Average consumption in city mode is 18-20 liters of diesel fuel. The only thing I don’t understand is why I didn’t buy a model with an imported diesel engine, it is both more economical and reliable.
• Igor, Novosibirsk. Lawn-Next, 4.5 l engine, 2016. A good, simple and reliable car. For the money, it has no analogues - foreign cars in any case cost an order of magnitude more, and spare parts for them are not cheap. The consumption of a diesel engine with a load of up to 5 tons in the city is about 18-19 liters, in winter up to 21 liters.
• Alexander, Dimitrov. I work as a driver on a cargo-passenger Lawn, with a Cummings engine. I drive a team of service technicians, we often drive on bad roads - there are no problems with cross-country ability. Imported diesel is just a song, it pulls wherever you want. I've been working on it for three years now and have never had any serious breakdowns or malfunctions. It consumes an average of 16-17 liters of diesel fuel, no more.
• Dmitry, Novgorod. In our garage we have a couple of Urals, KamAZs and several cargo Nexts for transporting small loads. About cross-country ability, a Lawn with a diesel engine is not inferior to a Kamaz, but it is much easier to drive and more comfortable. I switched to it from Kamaz and am completely satisfied. Diesel fuel consumption is from 18 to 19 liters, on the highway it consumes 16 liters, no more.
• Denis, Tomsk. Lawn Next, 2014, diesel 4.5 l. On average, in the city it is consumed from 20 to 22 liters, in winter it increases to 25 liters. Even without all-wheel drive, the cross-country ability is normal - it actually saved me several times when there were strong snowstorms. I would also like to note the high seating position, good visibility and comfortable interior.
• Nikolay, Cherkessk. Despite all the loud statements, Next is still the same ancient and primitive GAZ with all its disadvantages. At a time when the whole world is installing economical diesel engines on trucks, we are persistently creating our own designs, at crazy expense. My Lawn consumes from 20 to 25 liters of diesel fuel in the city, compare with foreign cars with their consumption of 15-18 liters of diesel fuel, where is the logic? The build quality was as bad as it was - it remained the same - the car started to break down literally a year later, although I bought a new one at the dealership.
• Igor, Podolsk. Version with all-wheel drive and diesel. I will note excellent cross-country ability - not the Ural and not the legendary Tablet, but off-road racing is also excellent. I know what I’m talking about - I often have to travel to such places for work that I drive with one hand and hold the phone with the other so that if anything happens, I can call the tractor. But I only got stuck a couple of times and in really serious mudslides, but everything was fine. Diesel consumption is very low - on a normal road from 16 liters (highway) to 19-20 liters (city).
• Boris, Arkhangelsk. Lawn-Next, a dump truck with a conventional base. The YaMZ turbodiesel engine is very economical - it consumes only 25 liters, this is the maximum, usually 22-23 liters. On the highway you can freely go 90-100 km/h.

GAZelle Next owner reviews

With 2.8 diesel engine

• Alexey, St. Petersburg. I'm happy with the car, I've been using it since 2014. I service only in a company service center, I buy original spare parts. Next is inexpensive to maintain and yet reliable. The Russians have reached a new level, and this is commendable. The car consumes 12 liters with a diesel engine and manual transmission.
• Denis, Saratov. Decent van for business, I have the all metal version. The car is reliable and can save fuel. The 2.8 Cummins diesel engine consumes 11 liters per hundred.
• Pavel, Peter. With this car, my business is growing and developing, despite the crisis in the country. The car requires minimal costs, except perhaps only for fuel. By the way, with a 2.8 engine it consumes from 10 to 12 liters.
• Dmitry, Kazan. With a 2.8-liter diesel engine, I liked the car. The car was produced in 2015, with a manual transmission and a diesel engine. The engine is amazing, pulls great at low and medium speeds. Produces an acceptable 120 horsepower. I'm quite happy with the car. Average consumption is 10-12 liters. I have the van version. The car is big. I praise the car for its strict design, made in a cubic style. Overall the car is excellent. I will say more - this is the best Russian van since the well-known Gazelle.
• Maxim, Kazan. I bought a van in the top configuration, with a 2.8 diesel engine. I took a car to work as a freight forwarder. I also grow fruits and vegetables, trade is booming. The diesel engine is elastic and high-torque, and is very good when driving hard, for example uphill or along winding paths. Average consumption is 12 liters.
• Oleg, Lipetsk. I work for a transport company, they provided me with a GAZelle Next with a 2.8-liter diesel engine and a manual transmission. A solid car for every day, comfortable and economical, you can achieve 11 liters per hundred. Under the hood is a 2.8 diesel and a manual.
• Alexander, Magnitogorsk. Comfortable car, one of the best vans today. There is no alternative to it, at least in terms of cost. Consumes 12 liters. The diesel engine is economical and quiet, with zero vibrations in the cabin.
• Dmitry, Stavropol region. I've been driving Next for more than two years, during which time there were only minor breakdowns. All the most important components and assemblies work smoothly, consumption is 12 liters with a 2.8 engine.
• Maxim, Vologda region. Gazelle Next 2015, equipped with a 2.8-liter diesel engine. I think that commercial vehicles need a diesel engine, not a gasoline engine. I bought a car for a transport company, the car is generally reliable and generates profit without interruption. This is our first Russian van; before it there were only Transits. Average consumption is 12 liters per hundred.
• Alexander, Pyatigorsk. A wonderful van, perhaps one of the best in terms of price and performance. I am convinced that Next is in no way inferior to foreign cars, and wins in some ways. For example, carrying capacity and capacity. I was pleased with the powerful diesel engine, it consumes 10 liters in the city.

With UMZ EvoTech engine

• Boris, Yekaterinburg. They work for Gazelle Next with a tanker, raising milk. The car is still fresh, and is still perceived as a new and well-maintained car. It makes a good impression, like a foreign car. Compared to the milk tanker based on the old Gazelle, the new Next is on a completely different level. It is equipped with a gasoline engine and consumes an average of 12-14 liters per hundred km.
• Ruslan, Peter. I have the classic van version. I liked the Next, it’s a real standard compared to the old Gazelle, my company has finally written it off. The van is economical and has good handling. The 2.9 engine consumes 12-13 liters.
• Konstantin, Moscow. I work in the construction industry, I have a Gazelle Next in the flatbed van version. High load capacity, comfortable suspension and good handling for a van. Consumption is 12 liters of 95 gasoline.
• Mikhail, Tambov. To order a modification of a motorhome based on Gazelle Next, I had to personally contact. Such cars are made only to order, since there is low demand for them in Russia. I received the car in a month. Overall, it turned out to be a good car. Russian engineers are great, they did their best. I'm a camper and I love campers and motorhomes in general. I have the full size version, but the engine is quite modest. Acceleration to hundreds in 20 seconds, top speed 120 km/h. There are two sleeping places, a bathroom and a kitchenette. Everything is as it should be, the finishing materials are decent. Average consumption is from 12 to 15 liters per hundred.
• Oleg, Moscow. I bought an all-metal van, 2015 version, with a mileage of 70 thousand km at the moment. Recently there have been more orders, I am distributing building materials. The machine is universal, with soft suspension and large load capacity. At the same time, the car has good dynamics, despite the old UMZ gasoline engine. Average consumption is 12-13 liters per hundred. The manual transmission is mediocre, sometimes the synchronizers crunch. On the highway you can keep within 10 liters.
• Vasily, Magnitogorsk. I have the 2015 version of the bread van, wheelbarrow. Previously, there was an old gazelle in this modification, then it was written off, and then they provided me with a brand new Next. The car is equipped with a 2.9-liter engine that produces about 105 horsepower. The gasoline engine is not new, but a time-tested unit. Consumes an average of 12 liters.
• Vladislav, Kursk. We work in the ambulance day and night, of course we work in shifts. Since 2015, we have provided a specialized Gazelle Next. I liked the car – both in terms of handling and equipment. The UMZ gasoline engine consumes up to 14 liters per hundred.
• Yaroslav, Kirovsk. I'm a school bus driver. In 2016, I switched to a bus based on Gazelle Next. What can I say, a decent car that fulfills its tasks with a bang. Spacious interior with comfortable seats. The bus is equipped with a 2.9-liter engine with a maximum consumption of 14 liters/100 km.

With UMZ Evotech engine with LPG

• Mikhail, Minsk. A decent workhorse for every day, average consumption is 12-14 liters. The van pleased us with its carrying capacity, and for a commercial vehicle, the Next handles well and brakes effectively. I'm pleasantly surprised, our auto industry rules. I have the HBO installed in the luggage compartment, everything there is reliably protected. And the car itself is durable, nothing breaks on Next. Maintenance costs are minimal, much lower than those of foreign cars, and at the same time Next is not inferior to them in characteristics.
• David, Voronezh region. The Gazelle Next van is a solid and reliable car, better than my former Ford Transit. A foreign car is more expensive to operate, so I decided to replace it with our brand. I didn’t regret it, and besides, I took the gas version based on the Evotech UMZ engine. Consumption 12-13 l.
• Igor, Tolyatti. The car is in the back of a van, it was taken to replace the old Gazelle. I have owned Next since 2015, it is equipped with a UMZ gas engine. I work in trade, the body can be loaded without fear, to the fullest extent - and all this thanks to the durable suspension. The engine consumes from 10 to 14 liters.
• Dmitry, St. Petersburg. We bought ten brand new Gazelle Next vans with a gasoline engine equipped with gas equipment. The best option for city and country trips. In terms of efficiency, one of the best commercial vehicles. We use the car every day, we work in the construction industry. I am writing on behalf of our company, and have personally taken part in testing each of the ten vans. None of them disappointed. Operating costs are minimal, and we also have our own workshop. Consumption is 12-14 liters, and is almost no different from the gasoline version.
• Alexander, Krasnoyarsk. Nice car, I have an all metal van. I liked the spacious interior with pleasant decoration and modern equipment. Next is an ideal option for commercial vehicles. I say this as a former owner of an old Gazelle, I also owned a Ford Transit and a Mercedes Sprinter. The Gazelle is really cooler, it’s just more modern compared to these old foreign cars. The UMZ engine is equipped with LPG and consumes 13 liters/100 km.
• Nikolay, Lipetsk. I'm happy with the car, I drive comfortably and don't complain. In terms of reliability, Next is not inferior to famous foreign cars of the commercial class; this is not a gazelle with a design from the 1990s. The version with petrol UMP and gas consumes an average of 13 liters per hundred.
• Rostislav, Perm. A wonderful car, it impresses with its comfort, optimal handling and acceptable load capacity. With a gasoline engine it consumes 14 liters. I spend money mainly on maintenance, because fuel is relatively cheap thanks to gas.

Have you purchased or are planning to purchase a car, but do not understand what kind of fuel consumption you should expect? We will tell you about the features of different types of fuel and find out which is more economical. The starting point is this: if your car runs on gas, you can save a lot. In general, the price of gas in a car per 100 km is ten percent higher than gasoline, but the propane-butane mixture costs 50% less. The economic feasibility is obvious.

There are 2 types of gas fuel:

Methane is a colorless and odorless gas, and therefore special substances are usually added to it in case of leakage. Its density is much less than that of gasoline and propane. Methane consumption in a passenger car is about 10-12 liters (this is despite the fact that the engine is 1.6 liters). To convert your car to this type of fuel, you need to purchase a special tank with thick walls that will not burst under high pressure. Such a unit costs an order of magnitude more than its propane or gasoline counterparts.

Disadvantages are inherent in any system. A common problem with gas-cylinder equipment (LPG) is that fuel combustion occurs at lower temperatures, therefore the power of the power unit is significantly reduced. But gas consumption in a car with 4th generation LPG also has advantages:

• minimal fuel consumption thanks to microcontroller control of engine operation;
• minimum power loss of the power unit, no more than two percent;
• compliance with toxic emissions standards.

What is the gas consumption compared to gasoline?

With all the correct calculations, gas consumption exceeds gasoline consumption by 15% (sometimes by 10%). But we need to remember that gas is much cheaper, and therefore the savings are significant. You can even say that traveling on gas makes it possible to spend 50% less on fuel. As you can see, gas is a more economical type of fuel.

How to determine gas consumption

For those who are wondering how to determine gas consumption in a car, we advise you to use a simple formula. To calculate it, it is enough to take a value such as the energy per unit volume of different types of fuel. For example, for propane it is 6100 kcal/l, for a propane-butane mixture 11872 kcal/l, and for gasoline 7718 kcal/l. Comparing these indicators, we will see the difference.

So, one liter of gasoline corresponds to 1.27 liters of propane or 1.19 liters of a mixture of propane and butane. Money consumption is determined as follows: divide the amount you spent on filling a full tank by the kilometers traveled and get an indicator for a particular type of fuel.

Those whose indicators do not converge at different times of the year are interested in how to calculate gas consumption for a car in winter. It is clear that in cold weather more fuel is consumed because the temperature increases the pressure in the gas cylinder. By the way, it is better if in winter the tank is not completely filled, but there will be free space in it, at least a tenth. Also, keep in mind that there is a summer and winter blend of propane and butane.

Identical flow rates may indicate that the equipment is being used incorrectly, and in the future it can go so far that the exhaust valves simply burn out. Therefore, you should pay attention to fuel consumption, and if you suspect a malfunction in the equipment, have the car inspected by professionals.

Gas consumption standards for passenger cars

Fuel consumption depends on the design of the machine, its purpose and type. We have already said that gas consumption standards for road transport also depend on the time of year. The area in which the machine is used is also important.

Gazelle Next is a popular domestic light-duty truck, also presented on the market in the form of a bus. The first cars of this type appeared in dealer networks in the fall of 2013.

This vehicle model is quite popular not only in the Russian Federation, but also in a number of other countries. In particular, in 2014, Gazelle Next received European certification, which allowed the manufacturer to begin selling its model on the European Union market. A separate plant was built specifically for this purpose in Turkey, which today produces export products.

Gazelle Next is a real workhorse for many people. A person buys a car like this for only one purpose - to make money. Naturally, he is interested in minimizing his own costs for servicing personal vehicles. Therefore, it is very important for him to have information about the fuel consumption of Gazelle Next per 100 km.

Naturally, there are two versions of fuel consumption data per 100 km: official and actual. Before purchasing any car, it is always a good idea to find out about both so that you can make comparisons and do some math on future costs.

Official fuel consumption from the manufacturer

The main power units of Gazelle Next are:

• Volume 2.7 liters. Fuel type - gasoline. This option appeared only in 2014. The gasoline engine has the following official consumption figures: city – 9.8 liters, highway – 12.1 liters;
• Volume 2.8 liters. Fuel type – diesel. With a similar power unit, this model was produced from the very beginning of production. The fuel consumption rate is as follows: city limits - 10.3, on the highway - 8.7 liters of diesel fuel.

In principle, the official figures for gasoline or diesel fuel consumption look very good for such a vehicle. But do they coincide with the actual ones?

Real fuel consumption of GAZelle-Next according to reviews from car owners

Unfortunately, very often it turns out that the actual consumption of diesel or gasoline differs significantly from the data provided by the manufacturer. Naturally, sometimes this leads to the fact that operating such a vehicle becomes extremely unprofitable. How are things going with this characteristic of a domestic light-duty truck:

Volume – 2.7 liters

The gasoline power unit has a power of 107 horsepower. The engine life is 400 thousand kilometers. What can you learn about its consumption from reviews of car owners:

1. Alexei. Rostov. I purchased it in 2014, immediately with a new gasoline engine. Before this, I had been driving a regular Gazelle for a long time, so I immediately felt some improvement in comfort, and most importantly, a significantly larger amount of free space in the cabin. The consumption, of course, does not correspond to the declared one. In my city it turns out to be about 15, outside of it - all twenty.
2. Vladimir. Leningrad region. I have several stores in the region, so having my own truck is very important for me. The choice fell on Next. Of course, this engine clearly lacks power, however, it copes with all the tasks assigned. Outside cities in the summer I use about 14 liters of gasoline, in the winter – about 17.
3. Innocent. Novosibirsk I regretted it almost immediately after I took it. No, the main characteristics and price of the car itself are completely satisfactory. The problem is the gasoline engine, which consumes a huge amount of fuel every day - up to twenty liters for every hundred kilometers!
4. Denis. Sverdlovsk Personally, I’m happy with everything. A very good car for delivering goods. The size of the salon is simply amazing - and for me this is very important. Therefore, I don’t worry too much about the performance of my engine. Although I measured it several times just for fun - around the city it comes out to about 15-16 liters.
5. Anatoly. Krasnodar. I took it in the maximum configuration. I went to the factory specifically to get a better selection. The result is that I got exactly what I wanted. Personally, with my version, fuel consumption comes out to be very acceptable - in the city it’s only 13, of course, if I don’t sit in traffic jams for hours, on the highway, if the road is good, it’s a stable ten.

Judging by people's reviews, the main problem of this car is precisely the serious excessive consumption of fuel, which significantly exceeds the data announced by official sources.

Volume 2.8 liters

Diesel engines are presented on the Russian light-duty truck in two versions: the Chinese Cummins with a power of 120 horsepower, and the Russian YaMX with a power of 149 horsepower. What’s most interesting is that the official consumption rates for both engines are completely the same. What do ordinary car enthusiasts say about them in their reviews:

1. Sergey. Yaroslavl. I have an option with a Chinese Cummins engine. And the Chinese have clearly learned how to do a lot, including power units. I've been using the car for three years now. During this time, the engine has never failed. I am very pleased with its efficiency: on the highway - only eight liters of diesel fuel, in the city - around 10.
2. Victor. Rostov. The boss took the Gazelle Next bus to the enterprise to transport people to various events. Initially, they were extremely wary of this acquisition. But a year of operation forced us to radically change our minds. In all the troubles we have been in with this vehicle, we have always emerged victorious. Average consumption in the city is 8-9 liters, which is very good for such a car.
3. Peter. Vladikavkaz. We constantly have to test this representative of the domestic automobile industry off-road. Initially, it was sometimes difficult. But after installing rear high-profile tires, everything changed for the better. The engine power is quite enough to cope with various difficulties. In normal urban conditions, I did not measure the consumption. But in extreme off-road conditions, in conditions of constant elevation changes, about fifteen liters of diesel fuel comes out, which is clearly a very acceptable figure.
4. Semyon. Belozersk. This is probably the first time that I liked a domestic car more than a foreign one. I used to drive a Ford Transit. Broke. Sold. I decided to temporarily take Gazelle Next. But after a year of use, I realized that I am not going to change back - this option is even better in some respects than the popular American one. And the consumption is very pleasant - a maximum of ten in the city, 8-9 on the highway.
5. Ivan. Penza. I bought it in 2013 for transporting goods. I constantly drive loaded around the city. The result of measuring fuel consumption has been pleasing for many years - on average it comes out to 9-10 liters.

As you can see, the version of the domestic Gazelle Next with diesel power units looks much better than the gasoline alternative. Therefore, the owners of the latter have only three options: sell their car and buy a new one, come to terms with the huge fuel consumption, install gas equipment, which, according to the reviews of the same car enthusiasts, is in no way inferior to diesel engines in terms of efficiency.

The fuel consumption of a Gazelle with a carburetor engine in the urban cycle was 18-20 liters per 100 km, and for a loaded Gazelle - up to 22 liters. With the arrival of the injector, it was possible to reduce the Gazelle’s fuel consumption to 17 liters when operating in the urban cycle.

Reducing Gazelle fuel consumption. Introduction of diesel.

The fuel consumption of a Gazelle with a diesel heart has decreased by an average of 30-35%, which has reduced the total cost of owning a car by 20%. Many owners of these commercial vehicles, to reduce the cost of vehicle ownership, switch to another type of fuel by installing gas equipment. This allows you to reduce the fuel consumption of Gazelles to 14 cubic meters of gas per 100 km. But in the end, each entrepreneur decides for himself what fuel consumption of his Gazelle is beneficial for him.

Table of average fuel consumption of Gazelles.

The table shows the average fuel consumption of Gazelle per 100 km for each Gazelle brand.

Video on reducing consumption!

Gazelle brand 2310 - Sobol has the minimum fuel consumption. The fuel consumption of this Gazelle is 15 liters per 100 km.

The maximum fuel consumption is observed in the GAZ 66 (the common name is “shishiga”), which is 28 liters.

The favorite commercial vehicle of the Russian citizen is the Gazelle car. It is used for both cargo transportation and passenger transportation with minimal fuel consumption. In 2010, the auto concern introduced an updated Gazelle Business, with a new diesel engine produced by Columbus, USA.

This innovation reduced the Gazelle's fuel consumption by almost 30%.

The question of how to reduce fuel consumption on a Gazelle is asked mainly by business owners, for whom the payback of the business and the amount of profit depend on the amount of gasoline consumed. Here, the bulk of the advice comes down to the topics of setting up the gearbox, setting optimal clearances, the degree of tire inflation and choosing a tread. Among the discussions of experts and car enthusiasts on how to reduce fuel consumption on a GAZ 24, a common piece of advice is to change the carburetor, installing, for example, a VAZ Seven. But there are also more detailed proposals.

Reducing fuel consumption on the Gazelle

The first thing that is recommended to save fuel on a Gazelle is to switch from gasoline to gas. But replacing fuel does not mean reducing consumption; in addition, this procedure does not always go without consequences - the car sometimes stops “pulling”. However, in general, gas equipment is considered to be 30% more cost-effective, which is especially noticeable when driving on the highway.

So for a gasoline Gazelle 3302 with a 402 engine, the declared consumption when driving 60 km/h is 10 l/100 km, and the actual consumption in urban conditions is about 20 liters of gasoline and 25 liters of gas. The Gazelle models released after 2010 are considered more economical - the diesel Business and Next. Modern injection engines consume about 12 liters with similar consumption for gas and gasoline. All other things being equal, the 406 engine consumes slightly less than the 402, but even with the 402, the “tuned” car shows acceptable consumption.

For example, a Gazelle with a 402 engine on gas equipment on the highway at a speed of 90 km/h and when fully loaded “eats” about 22 liters of gas. And when working in a parking lot with the heaters and TV on - another 1 l/h of gas.

This expense is made possible thanks to:

• high-quality gearbox,
• supplying already hot air from the exhaust manifold to the air filter (with a cooled supply, fuel consumption is higher),
• clearances between valves - for all: 0.3-0.35-0.4 - which protects against burnout without loss of power,
• gaps between spark plugs - 1.50 mm and quality of spark plugs (bad ones can significantly increase consumption),
• smooth operation of the gas pedal (preferably by the first chamber of the carburetor), with the speed accelerating to 3000 (when opening the second chamber on the gas, a drop in power should be felt, and if it is not there, then this indicates that the mixture is rich and the consumption is increased),
• choice of shanks (8 teeth for 402 and 9 teeth for 405 and 406 engines),
• tire pressure is about 3.5 atm. on all wheels (with a weight of 3 and 4.5 tons for an empty and loaded vehicle, respectively),
• selection of protectors (on a dangerous “bald” track, fuel consumption decreases).

Reducing fuel consumption on GAZ vehicles

Installing a carburetor from a VAZ “seven” on a GAZ 24 (accompanied by a slight loss of power) is a common, but not the only way to save fuel. In addition, car enthusiasts:

• reinstall the Moskvich carburetor with mechanical “switching on” of the second chamber DAAZ-2140-1107010-70, jets and air filters,
• equip the supply nozzle with a thin wire,
• a small diffuser (from a VAZ 2107) is installed in the second chamber of the carburetor,
• pour energy-saving synthetic oil into the gearbox.

It is assumed that both the economizer EPHH (forced idle speed) and a contactless ignition system are installed. In discussions about how to reduce fuel consumption in a Volga with a V8, the GAZ 53 and its transmission with unsynchronized lower gears are sometimes mentioned. But this method is considered dubious. In addition, the degree of unification of trucks (despite the apparent structural similarity) is low.

Advantages of the evotech engine and its positive qualities

In its structure, it is nothing more than a four-cylinder in-line four-stroke device, developed jointly with the giant of the Korean racing circuit, Tenergy. The updated gasoline engine has absorbed all the best from previous versions of similar equipment and has been supplemented by the experience of a foreign industrial monster. The result of this combination was the evotech 2.7 engine, characterized by the following qualities:

• low level of wear;
• excellent performance;
• improved traction and dynamic performance;
• increased system reliability.

Engine characteristics EVOTECH 2.7

The above characteristics best describe the new motor model and its features. At the same time, its installation in Gazelle Next significantly modernized and improved the car itself, giving it hitherto unprecedented properties. Among these advantages are the following parameters:

• increased durability resource;
• reduction in fuel consumption;
• increased torque;
• compliance with environmental standards;
• reduction in the cost of the car;
• reduced oil consumption.

All these positive qualities are due to the installation of the new evotech 2.7 engine, which, with all its novelty and innovation, is one of the best products existing on the modern domestic market.

Safety

In the event of a leak in open space, an explosive mixture will not form.

MINIMUM RISK OF DAMAGE

cylinder in case of an accident, thanks to a special structural base

The multi-level engine safety system includes a high-speed valve (limiting gas leakage in case of damage to the gas tubes), a “fire valve” (providing gas release when the temperature exceeds 100°C), a safety valve (providing gas release when the pressure exceeds 300 atm.)

Important benefits

Oil in Gazelle. Detailed information.

On various resources I constantly see the same type of questions from Gazelle owners on the topic of what oil to put in Gazelle Next or what oil to put in Gazelle Business.

For those who are too lazy to delve into it. Viscosity: 15W-40 from - 15°C to + 45°C (mineral). For summer and European winter. The most economical option. 10W-40 from - 25°С to + 45°С (semi-synthetic). A universal option. 5W-40 from - 30°С to + 45°С (synthetics). Overpayment for low temperature properties.

API approval: CH-4 and higher. That is, CH-4, CI-4, CJ-4

Oil change interval: If you don’t want to get into it, then every 10,000 km will be optimal. If the USR is plugged, then this interval easily rises to 15,000 km. But it would be most correct to focus on the engine hours.

Let's now try to clarify the situation a little.‌‌

1. Purpose of motor oil

• Lubrication
• Cooling
• Wear protection for metal parts
• Cleaning
• Corrosion protection and acidity control
• Sealing
• Drive of hydraulic mechanisms (if any)

2. Classification of motor oil

There are a number of international organizations developing standards for oils. The main two are:‌

• American Petroleum Institute (API)
• European Automotive Manufacturers Association (ACEA)

All other standards from various manufacturers are based on these standards and are their derivatives! This is pure marketing, allowing large equipment manufacturers to earn extra money from oils that proudly display their approval.

To understand how the Cummins CES, Caterpillar ECF, MTU Type, etc. standards appear: take the current API oil class and add some test to it, for example, 300 hours at the Cummins stand.

Therefore, if it is so important for you to have approval on the canister, then you can safely focus on API approvals: look for CH-4 and higher (CH-4, CI-4, CJ-4, CK-4, FA-4).‌‌

‌‌At the same time, there are no special oils for diesel engines, motorcycles, etc.. This is ordinary marketing. For understanding, the following comparisons can be made: hand soap, bedroom wallpaper, drinking water, etc.

Just as there are no special oils for diesel engines with a particulate filter - this is nothing more than oil with a reduced additive package. It is assumed that the engine will consume oil and the additives that fall out can clog the particulate filter. In other words, we harm the engine, but help the particulate filter :)

4. Oil viscosity classes

Strictly speaking, any viscosity class can be easily poured into the engine, if we discard extremes like 0w-20, 5w-50 (the first is too liquid, and the second is too thick). Those. W30, W40 are quite suitable.

If the oil is too viscous, the internal resistance of the engine increases with the following consequences:‌

• Increased fuel consumption‌ ‌• Decreased power‌ ‌• Difficulty starting

Consequences of low oil viscosity:‌

• Increased wear due to metal-to-metal contact‌ ‌• Increased oil consumption and leaks‌ ‌• Increased engine noise

Cummins makes it clear that the primary criterion for selecting an oil viscosity grade is the lowest temperature to which the oil in the oil pan will be exposed.

‌‌You need to understand that in the picture above the temperature range for a specific oil viscosity is taken with a large margin. To be closer to reality:

• Mineral water 15W-40 will feel great down to -20. -25 degrees C;
• semi-synthetics 10W-30, 10W-40 up to -30 degrees. C and below;
• synthetics 5W-30, 5W-40, 0W-30, 0W-40 to -60 degrees C.

5. Engine oil change timing

Oil quality deteriorates in all engines at varying rates, regardless of their design. There are certain limits to how much deterioration can be tolerated without affecting the oil's function.

According to Cummins: The use of synthetic-based engine oil does not justify extended oil change intervals.

You should not buy synthetics, overpaying many times over, in the hope that this oil will last longer. In other words, synthetics are not bad. But this is an overpayment of money for mostly unnecessary low-temperature properties.

The instructions from GAZelle state that the oil change interval is every 20,000 km, regardless of the presence of the USR system. Meanwhile, according to generally accepted world practice, the USR system reduces the service life of the oil by approximately 2 times, rapidly saturating the oil with combustion products.

We open the calibration for Euro-3 and see:

20000km, 4000l of fuel or 500 operating hours

And having opened the calibration for Euro-5, we see the following picture:

10,000 km, 2000 liters of fuel or 250 operating hours

Factors influencing the deterioration of oil quality:‌

• Operating cycle (the same mileage in a traffic jam city and on the highway will differ greatly in engine hours). ‌• Fuel type‌ ‌• Sulfur content in the fuel: the higher it is, the faster the oil ages, requiring shorter replacement periods. For example, if it is above 500 ppm, the oil needs to be changed more often.‌ ‌• External conditions (any conditions that cause increased fuel consumption: slush, low temperatures, driving with a trailer, overload).

6. Engine oil contamination:

· Exhaust (crankcase) gases pass by the piston rings, valve guides and turbocharger seals, entering the crankcase. They contain solids, water, acids, partially burnt fuel and deposits that contaminate the oil. With a higher sulfur content, the oil ages faster.

Acids, plaque and deposits

· When oil comes into contact with hot engine parts in the air, the oil oxidizes and decomposes, producing contaminants such as acids, deposits and deposits.

Abrasives or foreign particles

· These contaminants can enter the engine along with air and fuel entering the combustion chamber, through worn engine parts, and also if maintenance rules are not followed. For example, this is dust that has entered through a damaged or crushed air filter.

Presence of fuel in oil

· This leads to a decrease in oil viscosity and accelerated corrosion, especially when using biofuels. Possible reasons: particulate filter regeneration, prolonged idling, frequent stops or short trips that prevent the engine from warming up to operating temperature.

Presence of coolant in oil

· This is usually caused by engine problems.

· Soot is formed due to late injection and or poor operation of injectors with the combustion of fuel mixed with oil on the cylinder liners. Also, soot enters the combustion chamber when the EGR system operates. It leads to accelerated wear of valves, injector mechanisms and cylinders with liners.

GAZelle E-3, E-4 until 2022 190hp/450Nm

190 hp already at 3000 rpm and 450 Nm in the range of 1600-3000 rpm Torque is available from the lowest speeds Fuel consumption is reduced by optimizing the work process

Gazelle Evotech A274_A2755 E-2|E-0

The provided example of firmware is available for the entire family of GAZ cars with these engines: Gazelle Next Evotek, Gazelle Business Evotek, Sobol Evotek, etc. Torque increased from 230Nm to 260Nm

Europe wants to buy Russian Gazelles

The largest international exhibition of special (firefighting, rescue and medical) vehicles RETTmobil 2014 was held in the German city of Fulda, at which the GAZ Group presented the medical Gazelle-Next and Sobol 4x4. The Nexta-based resuscitation vehicle is built according to a modular principle that has long been used by foreign automakers: that is, a spacious medical “office” is installed on the chassis of a regular truck (with a softer rear suspension). The Sable for the ambulance is a familiar all-wheel drive van, which Auto Mail.Ru tested last fall, but equipped with a set of medical equipment - this is actually a modern interpretation of the UAZ “pill”. There is nothing surprising in the new products themselves - GAZ regularly shows different versions of Gazelles and Sables. Another thing is surprising: representatives of several countries at once wanted to buy medical gas cars! Which, however, is understandable - European analogues are much more expensive. For example, an all-wheel drive Volkswagen Transporter van without medical equipment is offered for 1.5 million rubles, and a diesel Sobol 4x4 for 705 thousand.

Why did you get 5.2? You overfilled me with 4.2 and it goes to the maximum

How did you pour it? According to the dipstick, the level is at maximum, even 1 mm lower

I also had a business with Evotek, now I always load Next with 4.2, and the manual says 4.2 and they have the same Mators

And how do you like Evotek?

Normally I drove 85,000 on the Benz, didn’t do anything, but I don’t drive much, on the Next it’s already 40,000, everything is fine too, but of course it’s weak

At what temperature does your fan turn on on the dash?

100 somewhere but not higher for sure

On a working machine, I forcibly connected the plus to the clutch and it works constantly, in the heat, but the engine does not heat up

Hello, tell me and show me in more detail how and what I connected to where the same Gazelle at work, how can I solve the problem?

Tomorrow I'll record a video and send you a PM

I'm looking forward to it, thanks in advance

Hi, write me a DM on WhatsApp number and I’ll send you a video

Hello, tell me and show me in more detail how and what I connected to where the same Gazelle at work, how can I solve the problem?

We took a second gazelle, 21 years old, and did the same on it, so as not to torment the engine in the heat, and to protect the pipes. Now in the heat, even at 36 degrees, the needle stays stable, even at idle there is enough airflow from the blades

Gasoline engine Gazelle Next 2.7 l. timing device, technical specifications Evotech 2.7

In the meantime, when the attention of the general public was diverted to the appearance of new models of the Gazelle-Next line, which were not only announced at various stands, but had already gone into serial production, the engineers of the Gorky Automobile Plant quietly worked on a new model of the EvoTech 2.7 gasoline engine . According to the new, but already established tradition of GAZ, the design of the engine was not without the participation of foreigners, this time - the Tenergy group, a leading South Korean developer of power units

When working on Evotech 2.7, indicators from a comparative analysis of designs and operating processes of more than 25 existing engine models were taken into account

According to the new, but already established tradition of GAZ, the design of the engine was not without the participation of foreigners, this time the Tenergy group, a leading South Korean developer of power units. When working on Evotech 2.7, indicators from a comparative analysis of the designs and operating processes of more than 25 existing engine models were taken into account.

New assembly line for EvoTech 2.7 engines

Since the new power unit will be directly related to commercial vehicles produced by the Gorky Automobile Plant, its comparison with the UMZ-4216, which is serially installed today, immediately suggests itself.

Important: There are more Belaz trucks in the Philippines

Among the main declared qualities of the Evotech 2.7 are an increased service life (400 thousand km), greater traction and endurance at all temperatures. Engine warranty is 3 years or 150 thousand km. Evotech 2.7 consumes 10% less fuel, exactly like oil, but at the same time the torque has increased noticeably in a wide range of operating speeds and is 240 Nm at 2500 rpm, which is higher compared to the UMZ engine, maximum torque which is 220 Nm at 2500 rpm. This was achieved with the introduction of a new camshaft and the replacement of the gas distribution system.

The Evotech 2.7 engine is 200 ml smaller in volume than the UMZ-4216, but the four-cylinder system with 8 valves remains the same. The design as a whole is more rigid, it is facilitated and strengthened by an abundance of plastic parts; components from well-known world manufacturers are also used: piston group, spark plugs, oil sump, hoses and connections from LG, electronic sensors from Bosch, hydraulic compensators from Eaton.

EvoTech 2.7 engine on the stand

Working samples of engines were tested on Gazelles of the Next and Business lines. The series of tests took into account power indicators, idle stability, lubrication systems, cooling and ventilation. According to test results, cars with the Evotech 2.7 unit are superior in speed and acceleration dynamics to cars with the UMZ engine.

Let us recall that this unit was first presented at the international exhibition Commercial Vehicles'2013 (Comtrans'2013) in September 2013, even then 50 improved parameters were noted, including an updated engine design, modified gas distribution and cooling systems. Not least on the list of advantages is the fact of using auto components from the world's leading manufacturers.

By the way, GAZ Group does not stop “looking” towards Europe. Sales of Gorky Automobile Plant products outside Russia at the current rate of the concern is quite an achievable height. Of course, Evotech 2.7 fully meets Euro-4 and Euro-5 environmental standards, which is equally good for the sale of GAZ commercial vehicles both in Russia and abroad. So, already on April 14, the Ulyanovsk Motor Plant started production of the Evotech 2.7 engine, which will eventually replace the current UMZ-4216 model. We are waiting for the first production Gazelles with a new power unit, stay tuned for news!

Typical malfunctions and methods for their elimination

The manufacturer gives an extensive list of possible problems with the engine and talks about ways to deal with them:

The engine does not start when cranked with the starter

There could be two main problems here:

1. absence or insufficient supply of fuel. A malfunction may occur due to clogged fuel wires or a filter designed for fine cleaning of fuel. To solve the problem, you need to check the presence of gasoline in the fuel tank, blow out the fuel lines with air, and change the filter;
2. The engine may not start due to a malfunction of the CPMSUD. Problems with electronics are more difficult to solve; you cannot do without special equipment. The manufacturer recommends contacting a service center if this malfunction occurs.

Engine starter does not work

This malfunction is possible due to the following problems:

• The starter power supply circuit is faulty. You need to call the starter power circuit, find an open or short circuit and fix the fault;
• lack of sufficient voltage level on the battery. It is necessary to charge or install a working battery in the vehicle;
• the starter has failed. The faulty starter needs to be replaced.

The engine does not start well and is unstable

The reason may be a faulty timing sensor. It is possible that the sensor is working properly, but the gap between the sensor core and the crankshaft timing teeth is increased. To resolve the issue, you need to check the gap, it should be no more than 1.8 millimeters. If everything is normal with the gap, then you need to change the synchronization sensor.

The engine is idling and running erratically

This may be due to air leaks on the way to the intake manifold. It is necessary to find places where air is leaking and eliminate the causes of the leak.

Antifreeze level rises at rpm

The power unit does not develop full power

This problem may occur due to a dirty air filter. If this is the case, then replacing the filter element will solve the problem.

The engine may not develop full power due to low compression in the cylinders. The compression in each cylinder should not be less than 14 kgf per square cm. If the compression level in at least one cylinder is less, serious repairs are required. Low compression may be due to wear of the piston rings, or due to the breakthrough of gases through damaged valve chamfers. After identifying a breakdown, you need to replace the failed parts.

The engine will not be able to develop full power if the fine filter is dirty. The contaminated element must be replaced.

If the sensor indicating absolute pressure is faulty, the motor will also not operate at full power. Replacing the sensor will positively resolve the issue.

On an Evotech engine, air leakage often increases

Weak points from a hermetic point of view are: vacuum brake booster, intake manifold, crankcase ventilation. After identifying and eliminating air leaks, fuel consumption should return to normal.

Fuel consumption will increase due to leakage of one or more injectors. Faulty parts must be replaced or repaired.

Incorrect adjustment of the gas distribution mechanism will also lead to increased fuel consumption. Correctly setting the timing mechanism can only be done at a maintenance service.

Engine knocking at full power or partial loads

This problem most often occurs when using fuel with a low octane number, a violation of the chemical composition of the fuel, or water getting into gasoline.

The cause may be a failed knock sensor or a breakdown of the sensor's shielding shell. Defective parts must be replaced.

Intermittent engine operation

This problem may occur for the following reasons:

• malfunction of the control circuit or power supply of the fuel injector, you need to restore the faulty electrical circuit;
• faulty spark plugs, spark plugs must be cleaned, gap adjusted or replaced;
• mechanical failure of the injector. The problematic injector must be replaced;
• failure of the high-voltage wire, the latter must be replaced.

Increased consumption of motor lubricant can occur for several reasons:

• oil leakage through gasket seals or cuffs. The problem can be solved by replacing gaskets and other seals;
• Engine oil consumption depends on the condition of the piston rings, cylinder walls and pistons. With severe wear, the consumption of engine lubricant will increase significantly. Replacing worn parts will help reduce consumption;
• Oil consumption may be high due to failure of valve guides and seals. Defective parts must be replaced.

A knock in the power unit can occur for various reasons:

• a knock may appear in the BC head due to wear of the nuts and bushings; worn parts need to be replaced;
• wear of the connecting rod sliding bearings, also known as bearings, the latter must be replaced;
• knocking of hydraulic compensators occurs due to the use of low quality fuel, everything is simple here, you only need to refuel with high-quality gasoline;
• The knock may occur due to the rotation of the bushing located in the upper head of the connecting rod. Here, replacing the entire connecting rod will solve the problem;
• A knock on a cold engine indicates wear on the cylinder walls and pistons. This is a sure sign of a quick overhaul;
• When the crankshaft thrust bearing washer wears out, axial play will appear. As a result, an extraneous knock will occur in the engine. In the best case, the thrust washer will need to be replaced. Although more serious repairs are possible;
• Due to wear on the hub end of the camshaft drive gear, axial play may appear, resulting in an extraneous knocking noise. The knocking noise can be eliminated by replacing the damaged gear.

As can be seen from what was written above, a new engine can have a lot of problems. Moreover, this is data from the manufacturer. To make sure that all these troubles exist in reality, just read the reviews of drivers who have used the Evotech motor. But this does not mean that all engines often break down. There are motors that work flawlessly for a long time. It is quite possible that motors produced these days have undergone minor modifications and will be more reliable than their predecessors.

Features of Gazelle engines

The main feature of the American engine on the Gazelle Next is its Chinese assembly. Engine spare parts are delivered to the Middle Kingdom, assembled and sent to Russian factories for installation in the car.

If you choose from an American engine and UMP EVO Tech, then it is better to install the latter on the Gazelle. Because Russian low-quality fuel, cold winters, and the careless attitude of car owners spoil engines.

Characteristics of the Cummins ISF engine

Engines for Gazelle from Cummins ISF2 require careful care. The engine is equipped with heated fuel filters. Has a turbocharger.

The engine consists of four cylinders and is located freely under the hood of a domestic minibus. Engine dimensions: 606x641x632 mm. The weight of the motor is 214 kg.

It is equipped with an electronic injection system and Common Rail electromagnetic injectors. Such a system helps reduce vibration and noise levels of the engine.

The combined lubrication system carefully lubricates all engine parts. The intake manifold is heated, and the engine is cooled with liquid cooling.

All the engine heat is directed to heating the intake air, so the ignition of the fuel-air mixture is excellent.

Characteristics of the YaMZ 53441 motor

After some time, domestically produced diesel engines began to be installed on Next. Gasoline engines became the pioneers in this matter.

This is YaMZ 53441. They are four-cylinder, four-stroke, in-line. Like the first ones, they are equipped with turbocharging. But the turbine is cooled through charge air. An air-to-air heat exchanger is installed.

Such engines belong to the Euro 4 eco-class. An EGR system and a catalyst are used to neutralize harmful gases. The fuel supply is carried out by a system installed by Bosch.

Additionally, the following can be installed on domestic engines:

• air conditioning compressor;
• power steering pump;
• compressor for air brakes.

The engine will be equally good at pulling these additional devices along with its main functions.

Upgraded Evotech engine

Over time, the diesel engine for the Gazelle Next was replaced by units presented by the Ulyanovsk Motor Plant. These are UMZ Evotech Turbo gasoline engines. First appeared on Gazelle Next since 2014.

The motor was created by the South Korean company Tenergy. Comes with a warranty of up to 3 years and 150,000 kilometers. This engine surpassed other engines with its power and economical fuel consumption.

The traction capacity of the Gazelle Next engine has been increased and the dynamics have improved. Ecological class not lower than Euro 5.

By adding valve timing, engineers managed to improve technical performance and reduce the volume of the Gazelle Next engine from 2.9 liters to 2.7 liters.

A new form of cooling system jacket was created. The efficiency of the motor as a whole has been increased. The main components of the engine, such as:

• camshafts. One of which is called sharp due to the shape of the cams. The first can increase engine power, but reduce torque, the second does exactly the opposite;
• the combustion chamber;
• cylinder block

have been finalized. There are many parts installed made of impact-resistant, heat-resistant plastic. Thanks to innovative technologies, it was possible to minimize the weight of the engine. Reduced oil consumption. To avoid detonation, a microprocessor ignition system is installed on the engine.

Positive reviews

I bought it a year ago from the officials of Next, fully equipped, with the installation of a refrigerator. The car is made of very high quality, I went through everything properly before purchasing, I didn’t find any serious flaws, just minor flaws, mostly gaps. Over the course of a year, the car traveled 134 thousand km, rested little, almost every day on the road, there were no serious breakdowns, of the unscheduled replacements, only the shock absorber strut on the left side leaked (the driver looked at the pit), the rest was changed as part of the maintenance. I really liked how the Next behaves on the road, the car is tall and heavy, like a ship on the waves. The suspension handles road unevenness perfectly, a lot of leverage solves it.

I have a NEXT with Evotech, I took it because I’m used to gasoline engines, I understand at least a little about gasoline engines, the mileage is currently 240 thousand km, the engine is without capital, only replacement of consumables and minor repairs, the engine runs smoothly, without vibrations, noise and there are no knocks, the pickup from the bottom is good. When taxiing, the reactions are clear, it responds well to steering turns, it’s smooth on the runway, it’s not fidgety, the suspension is tight and moderately soft.
