Rated fuel consumption is one of the most informative and important characteristics of a car for the driver. This is what manufacturers often use to advertise and promote a particular new car model.
Among owners of used cars, it is considered acceptable to consume up to 10 liters of gasoline or diesel per 100 kilometers. In foreign countries, this indicator is indicated in miles, so recalculation into “native” units is often necessary. The fuel consumption tables available in this section of the site are considered very useful.
What does the fuel consumption indicator indicate? What does this characteristic mean? We are talking about hydrocarbon fuel consumption. For example, for an SUV the figure corresponds to 9.5 liters per 100 km. It is quite acceptable, primarily due to the weight and power of the car. The indicator can be reduced due to the following:
- use of energy recovery systems during braking;
- lightening the weight of the car when replacing body and chassis elements with innovative materials;
- engine improvements;
- replacing the exhaust system.
For new models, consumption of 6 l/100 km is considered quite a “cruising” figure, but it will be higher for heavy SUVs and pickups and lower for small hybrids. The necessary information can be found in the tables provided.
What to do if fuel consumption is higher than rated? If the car consumes more fuel and does not correspond to the nominal value indicated in the table, this means there is a malfunction. Experienced service center technicians will tell you how serious it is and how it can be eliminated. In some cases, tuning makes it possible to further optimize fuel consumption, but this is usually achieved by lightening the body structure or by replacing the engine. Professional automotive technicians can provide specific recommendations.
Fuel consumption of GAZ Sobol ranges from 6.6 to 11.2 liters per 100 km.
GAZ Sobol is produced with the following types of fuel: Gasoline AI-92, Diesel fuel.
GAZ-2752 “Sobol”: technical characteristics
The GAZ-2752 Sobol is a small-sized truck or cargo-passenger vehicle developed on the GAZelle platform. In practice, it has comparatively lower length, load capacity, and weight. This feature makes it possible to operate the vehicle in urban environments: maneuvering on the streets, the ability to enter different areas, and parking in a small area.
GAZ-2752 “Sable” is, among motorists, a standard car from the “sable” family. The vehicle is equipped with special rear hinged doors, as well as a sliding side door. Technically, the declared useful volume is a total of 6.86 cubic meters for the three-seat cargo version, and 3.7 cubic meters for the seven-seat passenger version. With the introduction of body glazing and the subsequent addition of passenger seats, the car acquires the ability to simultaneously transport up to 10 people.
Even taking into account the significant visual similarity between the Sobol and the GAZelle cars, the former is a completely independent development. “Sobol” is a machine of a fundamentally different category with a maximum load capacity of up to 1 ton, as well as a special scope of application. Among the similar parameters are the same cabin, engine type, glass, headlights, mirrors and door handles. Among the differences, the presence in the structure of new side members, an independent double-wishbone front suspension with the addition of spring mechanisms, a pinless system and a device on ball joints stand out.
The rear suspension is equipped with fundamentally new springs. Sobol boasts an improved braking system: the actual diameter of the front discs is a total of 1.5 cm larger compared to the equipment installed on GAZelle. The design of single-type brake drums has been changed. As an alternative to wheel studs with M18x1.5 threads, as well as the addition of five Sobol-based flange nuts for conical systems with purely lightweight nuts.
Options and prices
New generation cars will inevitably become more expensive, although the majority of potential buyers will continue to use predominantly installment leasing programs. Today you can become the owner of an all-wheel drive Sable in the GAZ 221717 version for 1,012,000 rubles. This will be a car with a 6+1 interior, a Cummins ISF2.8s4129P or UMZ-42164 engine, as well as an average roof height. The cost of a Sobol Business commercial van starts at 864,000 rubles, and this configuration can take up to 990 kilograms of cargo “on board”.
Suspension
The GAZelle instrument cluster had a tachometer, which at that time was not yet found on all domestic passenger cars, and the cabin was decorated with light molded panels instead of boring leatherette. The GAZ-2705 was equipped with several doors for loading; the first was on the side and moved to the side, the second was located at the back and was hinged with two doors.

Main modifications of the GAZ-2752 Sobol line of cars • Reviews from Internet users vary.
The history of the creation of "Sable"
Serial production of cars of the GAZ-2752 Sobol family started in Nizhny Novgorod in 1998. By that time, the GAZelle had been in mass production for four years already, and it became obvious that the demand for cars of this class, which had not yet been completely mastered by the domestic automobile industry, turned out to be much higher than the wildest assumptions. Therefore, the range of modifications within the family grew; and, in accordance with market requirements, a related family was created - “Sable”.
The UAZ-3727 prototype is one of the “ancestors” of the GAZelle and Sobol.
The design team, under the leadership of Vladimir Chetverikov, relied on both domestic and foreign experience when creating the GAZelle family. In particular, for the promising development of NAMI (Central Research Automobile and Automotive Engine Institute) and UAZ engineers - the all-metal van "UAZ-3727", which did not go into production. Many also point out the more than obvious similarities between the GAZelle and Sobol and the third generation Ford Transit.
“Externally, there really was a common motive,” Vladimir Chetverikov could not help but agree with this analogy, “but this common motive - a half-hood layout - is typical for most cars of this class.”
The frame for all modifications of the Sobol was taken from the GAZelle, with the side members shortened (wall thickness 3.9 mm) and the wheelbase reduced from 2900 to 2760 mm. The all-metal Sobol van GAZ-2752 is a GAZ van shortened by 660 mm.
"Pre-styling" "Sable" of the first generation.
Since the GAZ-2752 Sobol entered the assembly line four years later than the GAZelle, it was not affected by the time of early modernization of the new model - with the replacement of multi-leaf semi-elliptical springs with few-leaf parabolic ones; Spicer drive axle on banjo, cabin reinforcement; fighting the boiling of antifreeze in the radiator already with the arrival of April warmth... We can say that “Sable” was cured of “childhood diseases” even before its appearance.
In 2003, Sobol, like GAZelle, underwent restyling, which significantly updated its appearance and interior. In accordance with the current “automotive fashion”, the tail design was updated, the rectangular headlights were replaced with modern drop-shaped block headlights. The instrument panel in the cockpit has also been updated and radically changed.
In February 2010, the Gorky Automobile Plant began producing a restyled family of this car, under the Sobol-Business brand. The package of modernized components and assemblies of this version is similar to the GAZelle-Business family. “Sobol” is presented in the price list of the Gorky Automobile Plant in a variety of options: an all-metal van or minibus, a flatbed truck or a universal chassis for installing all kinds of superstructures and special equipment.
Sable 4x4, UMZ-4216: average consumption 28l/100km
Good day! Don't kick too hard. In general, the problem is increased consumption. In our city, we have a problem with diagnostics; they can only read errors; when asked about the presence of a gas analyzer or a tester motor, they answer no, they haven’t heard. In general, here's the background: I bought the car in August. Sable 4x4 2011 tires stock engine UMZ 4216 Mikas 10.3 the car sat for half a year, I somehow started it and bought it, the price was attractive and the condition was excellent, mileage was only 53,000. I thought I’d take it and figure out the engine, but that wasn’t the case. I'm tired of figuring it out. When I drove the car, it didn’t move and was terribly stupid. First of all, as befits an ordinary teapot, I followed the path of least resistance, drove up to the final bus stop and found out where minibuses treat sores of the injection system. After listening to them carefully, I went to a local Gazelles diagnostics specialist, where I was successfully scammed out of 1,500 rubles. Having washed the injectors and condemned the pump, I, of course, rushed to the store for a new one. I changed one, another, then the injectors, then the PDZ sensor, wires, coils, then there were a couple more smart guys, after which I gave up on everything, having lost a lot of time, nerves and money (Loshar) and began to figure it out myself... I went and bought a fuel system pressure gauge and I connect the remote fuel pump directly to the battery, everything is OK, the pressure is 4, but when I connect it to the standard wiring, not only is the pressure 2, but it also starts pumping gasoline through the return line, I disassemble the module, it turns out that Plus and Minus are mixed up, I switch the contacts on the pump, pumped it up, and the FLS began to show the correct level of URA, but the pump does not have the pressure of the required 4 atm... I throw additional mass from the pump onto the body and lo and behold, the pressure returns to normal, I put the cool old gas pump on! Well, every cloud has a silver lining, there are still a couple of purchased fuel pumps left in reserve))) I’ve been driving for a couple of days, the acceleration dynamics are not bad, but I can’t get going normally, there are failures. We connect the SCANDOK failure to open the damper at 3-5%, what the hell is the sensor, it’s a new one... I buy another one from Bosch for food, it still doesn’t work, I still return it to the 1600 store. I've been driving like this for a month, I'm tired of going to Tula on the advice of a friend, we connect the diagnostics and after 5 minutes voila, they drive the car out with a smile on their face. I told him: - What's the problem? He told me: - The CO was screwed up, I set all the parameters from memory as they should be at XX rpm - 70, the main CO - 80. And indeed, the Gazelle is unrecognizable, it drove at low speeds, the dips disappeared as if by hand, and before that it stalled. On the way home, I feel that something is wrong, but it’s a long way back, I decided to give up, I’m tired, I think I’ll figure it out... I’ve been riding for a couple of weeks, the CHECK light comes on, I stop by for diagnostics, I ask you to just count the errors, I give you 200 rubles. I get the result - the error indicates a weak TPS signal))) and what do you think, when I go home I install the old original TPS sensor and the car is unrecognizable))) I’ve been driving for another month, I feel like I’m often stopping at a gas station. I buy a multitronics 580C on-board vehicle, I calibrate and calibrate the tank, I fill it to capacity, roll it with 25 liters, add 25.5 and now the consumption is 28 l/100 km at an average speed of 40 km/h. I’m sinning on Full Time, like the roll-up is bad, the transfer case is bad, I change the transfer case to Part-Time, I open the front axle, visually there’s no sound of metal in the oil, then I change the oil in all units to synthetic GL5 75W85 and do the wheel alignment, adjust the valves, measure the resistance on the explosives wires, changing the wheel bearings, and then winter has arrived, well, in general, I get a consumption of 31 liters... mixed cycle, and I also draw attention to the instantaneous consumption at idle, it is 2.3 l/hour. For comrades with identical cars, the consumption is 22-23 city at constant full. and 1.8 at XX.
Factory defects
In the first series of the Sobol Business issue there were many various shortcomings, which GAZ gradually identified and eliminated. Car owners have many complaints about the build quality of the car - the body and frame mounting bolts often came loose. Typical shortcomings of the GAZ 27527 include:
- Front axle oil leaking through seals;
- Weak transfer case, often requiring repair;
- High fuel consumption of the Ulyanovsk engine;
- UMP thermostats that constantly fail;
- Electrical problems.
The installation of a Chinese turbodiesel solved some of the problems of the owners of the updated Sobol - the engine did not overheat, drove normally and consumed fuel economically. But still, a GAZ car is not a foreign car, and the plant is unlikely to ever be able to eliminate all the shortcomings.
Another disease of all all-wheel drive “Gazelles” and “Sables” is that at speeds closer to 100 km/h a whistle and noticeable vibration appear.
This is what the Sobol utility vehicle looks like
Even the sound insulation installed in the car does not help. It is almost impossible to accelerate over 120 km/h - it seems that the car has a speed limiter.
Drive shafts are still installed on the front wheel drive. Of course, such a design is already morally outdated. I would like to hope that in the near future the Gorky Automobile Plant will nevertheless replace the shafts with the CV joints familiar to all car owners.

Advantages and disadvantages
Owners of Sobol with all-wheel drive talk about the following advantages of the car:
- Quite an attractive design, especially in the case of a car with good tires and an expeditionary trunk.
- The spaciousness and spaciousness of the interior, sufficient ceiling height, the ability to arrange a sleeping place.
- Excellent level of visibility for the driver.
- Spacious luggage compartment.
- A high-quality, efficient and easy-to-maintain power plant with a Webasto system for starting the engine in winter.
- Increased control convenience provided by power steering.
- Good maneuverability in various road conditions.
- Attractive price: Sobol is the only all-wheel drive car in its class that can be bought for this money.
- Reliability of the front and rear suspension.
- Comfort and convenience, manifested in literally everything, including controls, passenger accommodation, etc.
Unfortunately, the car also has a number of disadvantages. First of all, many car owners complain about the insufficient quality of the car, which is not in every case capable of covering at least half of the declared warranty mileage of 80 thousand km without repair. Many note the weak frame design and frequent problems with the operation of the fifth stage of the gearbox. The spacious trunk also has its drawbacks, such as its short length and high space, as a result of which objects located at the top can simply fall down.
Many Sobol car owners are forced to modify and improve it themselves. Nevertheless, with all its shortcomings, many people like this car, and, having gotten used to it a little, they no longer want to exchange it for another similar car.
In fact, the all-wheel drive GAZ brand 27527 is excellent for commercial purposes and trips outside the city.
Salon
Since the Sobol was built on the basis of the GAZelle, it looks almost identical inside. The article presents a photo of the interior of the Sobol from the current years of production. As we can see, the panel in the car is already from Next. But the seats are still old. The cabin can accommodate up to three people. There are also passenger versions. They are designed for seven passengers.
Among the advantages, it is worth noting only the new panel design and a more comfortable steering wheel. Otherwise the car has not changed. Sound insulation and plastic quality continue to suffer. While driving, the sound of the engine and gearbox is clearly audible (especially on all-wheel drive versions).
In winter, the car is comfortable. The second stove handles the heating. However, in summer it is very hot inside. There is a catastrophic lack of air conditioning. We have to be content with only the hatch.

Interior
The modernization has significantly changed the interior of the new GAZ Sobol 4x4 2022 model year. In particular, the list of options now available even in the simplest version has noticeably increased, the ability to work with a multimedia system has appeared, and the quality of fabrics and plastics has noticeably improved.
Control and management bodies
The center console has become much more angular, and due to this its size has increased. In its center there is an insert on which there are four round air ducts, a modest display of the multimedia complex with physical buttons and washers along the edges, and just below there are control units for climate and off-road options. Also on the dashboard there were several compartments for things and connectors for connecting external storage media.
There is no tunnel as such, but in the place where it is usually located, we managed to place: a lever for operating the gearbox, a parking brake, a cup holder and a pocket for small items. The driver's seat can be equipped with a folding armrest.
The large-diameter steering wheel has a comfortable grip and boasts several buttons located on the side spokes. Immediately behind it, in the deep cavity of the dashboard, you can find a rather informative instrument panel with a dial tachometer and speedometer, as well as a small trip computer in the middle.
Seating
The cabin seats are well made, have lateral support, adjustments using mechanical drives and are even heated. The cabin will accommodate two- and three-seater sofas, as well as a single folding seat near the door. Despite the fact that there is no functionality here, and the seats themselves are not very comfortable on a long journey, they are separated by good-quality armrests and can be transformed into two very comfortable sleeping places.
What is the consumption of a gazelle - Technology Expert
The consumption of diesel fuel or gasoline increases noticeably if you use a dynamic driving style, sharply accelerate, accelerate with rapid acceleration, or operate the car at high speeds; Unlike the GAZ 3302 Sobol, Barguzin gained a shorter wheelbase, independent front suspension, a ceiling lowered by 10 cm, a lifting rear door and the ability to transport up to 900 kg of cargo.

Fuel consumption of GAZ-2752 • Pros of the car
The fuel consumption of the RT will be higher even if trips are made over short distances, and you often have to turn off, start and warm up the engine; In any seat, both passenger and driver, a person of even the most impressive, heroic build can freely and easily fit, and moreover, it will not be particularly convenient for a driver shorter than 170 centimeters to drive the GAZ-2217.

GAZ-23107-743, four-wheel drive, gasoline, side-tent, price
The production model GAZ-23107–743 is an all-wheel drive Sobol-Business with a three-seater cabin, a standard length of the cargo platform (2.3 m) and a UMZ-4216 gasoline engine.
Gas engine
The UMZ engine has undergone many stages of modernization, during which it has become more reliable and economical, acquired stable operation in adverse conditions, and also reduced exhaust toxicity. But with all this, it remained the same simple power unit for a classic work machine - easy to maintain and not requiring the use of expensive spare parts.
Comfortable cabin
The cabin module, unified with the Gazelle, can accommodate three people, so in addition to the driver and the forwarder, a loader or installation specialist can fit inside. At the same time, they will not feel cramped due to the large width of the cabin, and all their personal belongings will fit in special containers for small items.
The driver's workplace is also worthy of special mention - in terms of ergonomics it is not inferior to passenger cars due to the use of a safety steering column with power steering, an adjustable seat and an instrument cluster with a trip computer.
At the buyer's request, the car can be equipped with various devices, including a high-tech multimedia system and air conditioning.
Onboard platform
The flatbed design gives the Sobol a resemblance to a pickup truck - a compact, versatile, very durable vehicle.
Loading from any side can be carried out by all possible types of loaders and cranes, steel sides reliably hold the load, the frame has a large margin of safety. The basic package includes an awning mounted on a lightweight frame.
It reliably protects the cargo from damage, and if it is necessary to transport oversized items, it can be removed in a matter of minutes.
Four-wheel drive
Increased ground clearance, combined with a special transmission layout, allows the Sobol to reach places that are inaccessible to most cars.
It will easily overcome the washed-out dirt road connecting the villages, climb over clods of earth that accidentally fell on the road after plowing the field, and also will not get stuck in the snow.
And when driving on high-quality asphalt, the driver can turn off the drive to the front axle and the downshift, slowing down the wear of the units and reducing fuel consumption.
note
Compact off-road trucks are becoming increasingly popular. They are used by agricultural enterprises, public utilities, construction and repair organizations. Vehicles such as the GAZ-23107–743 help save a lot of money compared to massive off-road trucks, and also make travel very fast and convenient for passengers.
The standard equipment of the GAZ-23107–743 includes: a gray awning, power steering, heated mirrors, a rear differential lock function, spare tools and accessories. The price is for the base model (rear-wheel drive) with a body length of 2.3 m and an Evotech 2.7l engine, excluding delivery.
The warranty for cars of the Sobol-Business line is 2 years, or 80,000 km, service interval is 15,000 km. The maximum breadth of the dealer network makes it possible to receive high-quality and timely service in any region of Russia.
