GAZ Next C41R13 - technical specifications and description

GAZon Next is a five-ton truck produced at the Gorky Automobile Plant since 2014. It represents the fifth generation of GAZ trucks. The vehicle differs significantly from previous variations of trucks, however, some components, along with power units, migrated from the previous Lawn-3309.

It was 2014 that was the most significant year for the enterprise in Gorky. The company introduced people to one of the most important new models of the decade in its own product line. It was planned that GAZon Next, like GAZelle Next, would be capable of conquering not only the domestic but also the foreign market. The entire GAZ model range.

The main emphasis at the Nizhny Novgorod enterprise was on localization. You can confidently call the car “yours.” Up to 90 percent of all elements that are present in its design are produced on the territory of the Russian Federation. This is precisely the most important advantage of a vehicle that is guaranteed a bright future.

The model is not only cute, but also reliable. These qualities allow it to be the most important contender for a leadership position in the category of medium-duty trucks in the Russian Federation.

Now the Gorky Automobile Plant can offer the GAZon Next dump truck and the GAZon Next City - new interesting vehicles. For bad roads, a Next 4x4 LAWN was provided. In this article you can learn about the carrying capacity, fuel consumption, and reviews of the new car.

Car history

When 2014 arrived, the Gorky Automobile Plant Group, following a series of intriguing announcements, was able to present a car that was original for the Russian Federation - GAZon Next.

The new product was positioned as a replacement for several well-known generations. Initially, the company decided to say goodbye to the GAZ-3307 car, the production of which began in Soviet times (1987).

GAZ-3307

After approximately 30 years of production, the truck has become significantly outdated, despite a whole list of improvements. Taking all this into account, marketing specialists did not rack their brains and decided to name the new vehicle “Lawn”.

By the way, this is precisely the way people used to call the company’s past issues. The model even became the successor to the latest generation GAZ-33088. Over 25 years, the company was able to sell more than 2,000,000 GAZ-3307 and 33088 models.

GAZ-33088

Moreover, almost a million of them continue to be successfully operated today. But taking into account medium and small businesses, due to the need to update machines, I began to buy foreign analogues more often.

Consumers did not want to purchase outdated equipment, even if its pricing was not so high. In part, this was the reason for designing a completely new model.

LAWN Next turned out to be completely original, and in appearance it has nothing in common with all its predecessors. This allowed the model to attract justified attention and start using this car.

During the premiere display of the truck, the President of the Russian Federation was present, which indicated the considerable importance of such an event. Manufacturers promised potential buyers the durability of the model and excellent performance.

Despite the good localization of production, the car is a fusion of domestic and foreign elements. Therefore, the new GAZon Next acquired the cabin of the latest generation of GAZelle, the clutch was installed by ZF (Germany), and the brake system was installed by Valdai. A similar principle provided the opportunity to make a high-quality car.

The history of GAZON Next includes not a single family, and the car itself is just beginning to gain popularity. But the design team is confident that in the medium-duty section, GAZon Next will be able to beat many competitors.

In its standard configuration and platform, the car can transport up to 5 thousand kilograms, which makes it one of the best compared to other models.

The manufacturer will offer several design options, which differ in the type of wheelbase (4x4, 4x2), ground clearance (315 and 265 mm), as well as the length of the platform (standard or an extended modification).

The car is not only a narrow-profile truck, but a large family, which is divided into 3 groups: off-road, universal and urban. The off-road version is considered to be the successor of the 66th Lawn (the presence of a modernized platform and a unique technical component).

The 2nd one looks a little like the standard Lawn 3307, which, as a result, allowed it to get rather large wheels, a respectable ground clearance and good cross-country ability. The most important drawback of this model is its solid loading height.

The urban modification does not have this disadvantage by installing wheels with a smaller diameter, but they will not be suitable for rough roads. Any of the modifications can have two types of cabins (three- and seven-seat cabin).

Appearance

The very first thing that catches your eye on a new truck is the design of the cab. With its silhouette, it looks a little like Gazelle Next. Here you can also find angular, laconic and business style.

The medium-duty truck has the installation of modern elegant optics, a fully updated interior, which has 3 comfortable seats. For the first time in the entire history of truck families, the Gorky Automobile Plant began to use plastic front fenders, and the cab itself received a galvanized coating.

It is important to note that in previous Lawn models the cabin was a weak point - it almost immediately began to rust. New trucks now have voluminous side mirrors called “burdocks,” which significantly increase the driver’s visibility.

As a separate option they can be supplied with an electric heating option. They decided to add a massive bumper to the Lawn Next cabin, which made the car a little angular. The appearance of the car cannot be called super attractive, but in a stream of vehicles the new product can immediately stand out.

If we talk about the body itself, it is made of steel. As a separate option, you can order an aluminum body, which has increased corrosion resistance. LAWN Next City received a reduced loading/unloading height, which made it more suitable for work in cities.

GAZon Next models

This brand is produced in two models, with different body types: extended (C41R31) and standard (C41R11) and two-row or seven-seater (C42R31). The latest model includes the ability to install a sofa in the back, which will become an excellent sleeping place. Such comfort allows the machine to be used in cargo transportation over long distances. The manufacturer has produced one cabin module for all GAZ trucks.

Basic equipment GAZon Next:

Interior

Inside, the Next modification has become much more spacious - about 1/3 more than the Lawn 3307. When you are inside, you understand that it has become more comfortable, because of this you even doubt a little whether this is a domestic car?

The interior space is largely similar to elements of the Gazelle Next. It is convenient to keep an eye on the road; the driver is helped by a fairly high seating position and a massive windshield. There are also innovations that are non-standard for cars of the Gorky Automobile Plant, such as:

• Electric windows;
• Air conditioning;
• Cruise control;
• Heated seats.

And all this comes as standard. Volga passenger sedans cannot even dream of this, but the Russian truck has it all! In front of the driver is a 4-spoke multi-steering wheel, which looks quite modern, almost the same as on other foreign cars.

GAZ-Next has a standard audio system with a CD player that supports the MP3 format, and also provides for mounting a pair of music speakers. The gas (accelerator) pedal is electronically controlled, but time will tell whether this can be considered an advantage given the quality of domestic spare parts.

Inside it can comfortably accommodate 3 adults, although a double cabin can be ordered with a driver and 6 passengers. Everything is quite simple, but at the same time convenient. The designers of the Gorky Automobile Plant did a good job on a comfortable fit, good ventilation and noise insulation.

The Lawn Next cabin can accommodate 3 adults

They also stiffened the driver's compartment with Anvis mounts. The driver's seat has a large number of settings and a mechanical suspension, which minimizes driver fatigue even during a long trip.

The basic configuration also has armrests. The instrument panel looks intuitive and quite clear, there is a pleasant backlight. The center console has a free niche for installing third-party multimedia devices.

Motor YaMZ-5344-20

The basis for the 10-ton GAZon-Next was the PAZ-320405-04 Vector-Next bus, which is produced by the Pavlovsk Bus Plant, which is part of the GAZ Group. The cross-section from oval has been replaced with a rectangular one, which, firstly, looks more aesthetically pleasing and this is an important factor for a tanker designed for urban operating conditions, and, secondly, there is space for placing additional equipment for the drum for the fuel delivery hose, a box for spare parts and accessories.

Specifications

Power unit

In order to successfully move this vehicle, the design staff provided for the presence of a Yaroslavl turbocharged four-cylinder diesel 4.4-liter engine - YaMZ 5344.

The engine develops 137 horsepower. It has a charge air cooler. The installation of the debut version of such an engine began on the Lawn 3309 in 2013. The engine has become quite successful, as eloquently evidenced by the award that was received for the best innovative technology from the Adam Smith Institute.

Engine YaMZ 5344

It was they who were awarded to the Yaroslavl enterprise for such a motor. The power unit was modernized, improving it compared to the standard series. The technical component of the motor fully meets all European standards.

If we compare it with the “capricious” American Cummins engine, which is assembled on Chinese territory, then the domestic engine “digests” any diesel fuel better, and given Russian conditions, this is a clear advantage.

YaMZ is well adapted to the conditions of use and tolerates intense work well during low temperature conditions. If the engineering staff decided to install the “American”, then they would clearly be able to ruin the GAZon Next car owners.

Despite the increased volume, compared to Cummins, the Yaroslavl power unit operates quieter than its previous model on the GAZon 3309. According to the company, the YaMZ-5344 is considered one of the most modern engines, and it has a service life of up to 700 thousand kilometers.

With the help of well-chosen gear ratios of the gearbox, maximum loads do not appear even in difficult situations, which allows the engine to function for a longer time. YaMZ-5344 meets European standards Euro-4.

An alternative is to install an American 3.76-liter Cummnins ISF power unit, which produces 152.3 horsepower. He performed well when working with domestic fuel.

It is not afraid of severe frosts either, but the presence of pre-heating is only optional here. The engine has 4 strokes, is air cooled and is liquid cooled. The American is very similar to its direct “competitor,” but not the same.

The motor also meets Euro-4 environmental standards. All versions can accelerate to 110 km/h. The average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers will be 18 liters at a speed limit of 80 km/h. If you move at 60 kilometers per hour, consumption will drop to 13.6 liters per hundred. The model can climb up to 30 degrees.

Transmission

Here the engineering staff decided to install a non-alternative 5-speed manual gearbox. But it is also noticeably different from previous models. The gearbox and electronic accelerator pedal can be controlled using the joystick.

The box has become more reliable, but the price has increased slightly. At 2nd and 5th speeds there are Italian Oerlikon Graziano synchronizers. Together with the grinding of the gear teeth, they provide almost silent operation of the gearbox, which increases the strength of the entire assembly and guarantees easy gear shifting.

In addition, in this box the thickness of the gears was increased, foreign-made SKF bearings were installed, and Simrit and Rubena cuffs were used, which prevent leakage.

The clutch was used from Sachs ZF, which, by the way, is dry and single-disc. In this car, there is no longer any need to depress the clutch twice and shift the gas – “Well, finally,” every owner will say!

Suspension

The model received a completely different suspension. Based on the test drive, the ride of the GAZon Next is now softer, and during braking the truck does not throw from side to side, which could very often be observed with the GAZ-3307.

A reinforced frame was installed, although it was almost impossible to break it even on the 53rd Lawn. It has anti-corrosion protection, where there is a cataphoresis coating. The Gorky Automobile Plant also began to use the ABS and ASR systems.

Just a few years ago, most would have considered the installation of such systems on our cars to be a fantasy, but today it is a reality. The workers of the Nizhny Novgorod enterprise were able to modernize the springs installed in front.

The suspension has anti-roll bars (rear and front), as well as Tenneco shock absorbers, which reduce vibrations. The use of air suspension is only in plans for now.

Brake system

It may surprise you, but all wheels of the new LAWN are equipped with disc brakes. Moreover, the company said that it did so by increasing efficiency. So now it is calculated for weights up to 12,000 kilograms.

You can press the brake pedal lightly and still feel a fairly quick response. As mentioned above, the new and modern truck is equipped with systems such as ASR (Wabco), EBD and ABS.

With the help of ASR, it is possible to reduce slipping of the rear wheels, which increases the acceleration speed. With the help of the latest implementation, the truck can move off more confidently on gravel or ice.

On top of that, the engineers have provided the ability to disable this system if necessary. The brake system has a brake pad wear indicator, the service life of which is 200 thousand kilometers. If we take the Lawn Next modification with all-wheel drive, then the basic models come with drum brakes.

Steering

The steering wheel itself turned out to be quite ergonomic, but it can only be adjusted vertically.
It has built-in radio controls. To make it convenient and pleasant to drive a medium-duty truck, it is equipped with a modern hydraulic power steering from ZFLS, which operates quite quietly. The steering wheel now has a reduced radius, which makes it more comfortable to drive. Specifications

Modifications

A universal model, an off-road “Sadko” with a rotational module and an urban model are provided. There is a standard and extended car platform. Models – C41R11 and C41R31. There is also GAZon Next C42. The car is not only an onboard vehicle; various modifications are made on its platform, such as:

• Tanks;
• Vans;
• Tow trucks and manipulators;
• Aerial platforms;
• Dump trucks;
• Pickups;
• Special equipment.

GAZon Next aerial platform
Since 2016, the Gorky Automobile Plant plans to begin production of a serially produced truck tractor, on the platform of which road trains will be created. It will be able to transport about 10 tons, and the total weight will reach 16,800 kilograms.

However, it is unlikely that the engine used will be able to cope with such loads, so, most likely, Nizhny Novgorod residents will be faced with a new task - to develop a new power unit for the machine. There is a GAZon Next dump truck and a GAZon Next pickup truck.

My seat is on the left

It should be said that Putin did not compliment GAZ’s new development unfoundedly, but based on personal impressions. Recently, Vladimir Vladimirovich, during a visit to the RusVinyl plant, had the opportunity not only to inspect Lawn-Next, but also to drive the new Russian truck. Familiarity with the units of the new Lawn and the aesthetic impressions obtained during the inspection of the truck’s exterior prompted the leader of our country to want to take part in the ceremony for the start of mass production of the model.

Price

A flatbed truck with a single-row cab will cost from RUB 1,580,000. As a separate option, you can install a radio, cruise control, heated seats and electric windows.

The model also has an “urban” version, “GAZon Next City”, which has wheels of reduced diameter, and also has a reduced loading height, along with a reduced turning radius. A similar model of GAZon Next City will cost 10,000 rubles. expensive.

Modification with 2-row cab

A modification with a 2-row cabin designed for 7 seats will be priced from RUB 1,655,000. It is possible to order a car to suit your needs, but the price tag will be obviously higher. The extended version of the C41R31 will be priced from RUB 1,830,000 with standard equipment.

Special versions start at 1,700,000 rubles. Even though the car is new, there is already an opportunity to purchase a truck second-hand. The price will vary from 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 rubles, depending on the modification, equipment and general condition of the model.

Brief description and main versions of the machine

The grand opening of sales of the commercial version of the GAZon NEXT truck took place on October 24, 2014 in Nizhny Novgorod. Any version is available with two types of cabs: a regular three-seater (C41R31), or a two-row seven-seater (C42R31).

In the two-row cabin, you can additionally install a sofa that will serve as a sleeping place. This makes it convenient to use a truck for long-distance transportation. The new single cabin module (created for all trucks of the GAZ group, including Ural Next) was initially borrowed from the Gazelle Next family; with appropriate modifications, of course.

GAZon Next trucks (or GAZ-C41R11 and GAZ-C41R31) have, according to the manufacturer, a load capacity of 5.0 tons and 4.7 tons and are designed for use on all types of paved roads.

In addition to the universal series, a special “City” , with wheels of a smaller diameter (18.5 inches instead of 20), low-profile tires and a loading height reduced from 1.3 m to 1.165 m. The ground clearance of the City Series GAZons is also lower: 189 cm instead of 253.

The third version of the family will soon appear on the market - the all-terrain "GAZon NEXT 4x4 " (previously it was going to be called "Sadko NEXT") - the direct successor of the GAZ-66, built on its modernized platform. The off-road “GAZon NEXT” will have a carrying capacity of 3 tons; single-pitch rear axle tires and a centralized tire pressure control system.

The company also plans to produce the fourth series within the family - a six-ton ​​GAZon Next truck (4x2) with increased payload capacity, gross weight of 11.95 tons, with a dual-pitch rear axle tire.

The standard GAZon Next, with a wheelbase of 3.77 meters (the extended version is 4.515 meters), can “take on board” 5 tons (the maximum axle load is set as 2650 / 6600 kg).

The standard GAZon Next is equipped with a metal cargo platform with folding sides, which can be equipped with a frame awning. Due to the enlarged platform and awning, the total area of ​​the body has increased, compared to previous generations, by 20%, and its volume by 42%.

The use of modern technological solutions and high requirements for spare parts suppliers allow the Gorky Automobile Plant to provide good guarantees to GAZon Next (the best among its “classmates”): 3 years or 150,000 kilometers. The service interval between scheduled maintenance has also been increased (up to 20,000 kilometers).

Let's sum it up

As some say, at the automobile plant in Gorky there is such a “tradition” - initially to create a brand new car, and then, slowly, begin to bring it to fruition. It's a little funny, but unfortunately true. Therefore, it feels that today the GAZon Next is still a crude vehicle.

3 years will pass, then you can confidently purchase this model. Although, it is necessary to pay tribute to the design department of the plant. After all, old cars, along with their archaic design and technical equipment, have simply become obsolete. It’s just that, logically, a new model suggested itself, otherwise GAZ could simply lose its products.

Cargo-passenger LAWN Next

But foreign companies are not sitting idly by either, so our specialists decided to release a new cargo model, which is in no way inferior to foreign cars in both appearance and technical components.

Although, to be honest, the better the “domestic” car, the fewer Russian parts it contains, and you can’t argue with that. Overall, the car turned out to be pleasant, fresh and mysterious.

Why mysterious? Since they haven’t been able to fully test it yet. But the power unit began to consume significantly less fuel, and the power was not reduced. The gearbox began to work much better (of course, it has German roots), the braking system even acquired disc brakes on all wheels, as well as electronic auxiliary systems such as ABS.

Inside, it also became much more pleasant and easier for the driver to work. There is plenty of free space in the cabin. One thing is clear, the Gorky Automobile Plant is clearly on the right direction of development of the automotive industry. It’s also nice that the company updates and produces not only new passenger cars, but also those that are trucks. I would like to hope that she will not stop there.
