Gazelle Next. Price: from 1,280,200 rub. On sale: since 2016
Yes, this orange van, according to the GAZ color classification, is called “red gold”. Well, that sounds impressive. Although, to be honest, “golden tangerine” or “ripe orange” would be more suitable for a commercial truck. Well, okay, marketers know better how to attract a potential buyer. What if you put aside the color and look at this delivery van purely from a practical point of view? So, we are aspiring businessmen, and we are choosing a workhorse. Moreover, our business, although successful, is not yet so successful that we can afford a hired driver. That is, in fact, we choose a car for ourselves. Eh, someone will be lucky who will then get a job as a hired driver for this van...
The driver's seat has many adjustments
However, before you indulge in savoring the options, and, as it turned out later, there are many of them, it’s worth paying attention to the basic things. And the first thing that really worries you when you look at the van is the oiled seams on the mating body parts. What is this, why, why?! Frankly, I have never seen such innovative ideas on any other van (imported). Why such reinsurance if the car body already consists of 68 galvanized and 16 plastic parts? However, if they think that this will only extend the life of the body, we are not against it. Moreover, according to experts, such a van will pay for itself only after two years of operation, and it will only be a plus if after this time it still looks just as cheerful. So let’s not bother too much with these “marker” strokes - technologists, as you know, have their own vision of beauty.
But what is really worth thinking about is that, no matter how spacious the cargo compartment is, and in our case it is the largest and amounts to 13.5 cubic meters of volume (this is the highest roof and the longest wheelbase), still There is one question: how to secure the load? No, we are not talking about cargo on pallets that will be transported into the compartment using forklifts, there are no questions here. A set of rigging eyes on the floor will allow you to secure it easily. We are talking about not very heavy objects that may need to be attached to the walls. How, for example, can you secure a refrigerator or chest of drawers so that they do not fly around the body during delivery to the consumer? After all, not everyone will be engaged in delivering exclusively bags of flour. Someone will decide to carry something more elegant, and even fragile. There is no way to attach something like that to the wall. Most likely, businessmen will have to invent something themselves to solve this problem. But thank you very much for the opening hatch between the passenger compartment and the cargo compartment in the area of the passengers’ feet. If anything, you can push through any lengthy items without any problems. And for the shelf above the cabin, which can withstand a load of up to 30 kg, special thanks. It won’t be difficult to place personal belongings there. Now, if only some kind of fencing had been provided... But in the cargo compartment you can stand upright quite calmly. Yes, and you can enter and exit through any of the doors without fear and rest your head on the lintel. It is also worth noting that the floor of the cargo compartment is lined with 9 mm plywood, which not only protects the metal from abrasion, but also prevents shoes from slipping in the winter season. In general, despite all the apparent shortcomings, the cubic capacity was impressive. Of course, you will have to fake something, adjust something to your needs, but, in general, it is quite suitable for business.
The jack and towing eye are always accessible
But what you won’t have to redo is the interior, especially if you take the car in the maximum configuration. Here, in fact, there is everything you need, from a comfortable anatomical driver’s seat to a multimedia system with navigation and Bluetooth. Like other modifications, there are a lot of places for storing personal belongings and for accompanying documents for the cargo. Optionally, the car can be equipped with air conditioning. By the way, against the general background, the price of this most useful device is only 50,000 rubles. It may still seem superfluous to you, but it’s probably not worth saving on locking the rear differential. With this option, driving on our roads and destinations is a pleasure.
There is plenty of storage space in Gazelle Next
And in general, driving this six-meter van is no more difficult than driving a car. No, of course, you’ll have to get used to the dimensions. However, you only remember that you have another 4.5 meters behind you when you start reversing. A camera in the basic configuration would not hurt such a car. But as soon as you get onto the straight line, you forget that you are driving a commercial vehicle. Especially if, like ours, it is in the maximum configuration.
