The updated radiator grille looks very stylish and modern, and some tuning elements give the SUV a warlike look.

Even a car with the simplest and minimum configuration includes separate protection against small objects, fragments and stones that are found on the road.

The luggage compartment is incredibly roomy, which is important for. The rear seats can be folded down to increase the volume of the luggage compartment several times. In this case, the trunk of an SUV will be able to accommodate about 1200 liters of payload.

The interior is also pleasing to the eye thanks to the quality leather upholstery. An important aspect is the adjustment of the driver's seat. After all, it is the driver who must feel as comfortable as possible in order to drive the car. The seat height can be adjusted and the lumbar support can be adjusted. These and other important options make driving this SUV comfortable and convenient.

Specifications

Connection function all-wheel drive very useful, since the driver in a difficult situation can automatically turn on the all-wheel drive system, after which the SUV will cope with the problem.

The five-door SUV also features power steering and an adjustable column. The exterior mirrors, which are equipped not only with electric heating, but also with electric adjustment, deserve due attention.

It should be noted that standard equipment is not inferior to the advanced assembly in terms of the necessary functions. The budget option also includes complete system security, air conditioning, central locking of all doors, five-stage automatic transmission gears and an engine with a volume of 2.3 liters.

Advantages and disadvantages

It is worth noting that the car has enough power to overcome various steep climbs or difficult sections of the road. The spaciousness of this car is surprising; three people can sit in the back seat at once. Even such a number of passengers can easily fit in the back seat, moreover, they will sit comfortably, and there will be enough space for everyone. You should also pay attention to fuel consumption. This SUV can be called budget option, since it needs 10 liters per 100 kilometers.

The five-speed gearbox is good enough for fairly fast driving on flat road or highway, but some still lack sixth gear. It is worth noting that at high speed the car sometimes skids, even when the asphalt is not wet and there is no ice. This is because the frame structure leaves a lot to be desired. Manufacturers also did not focus on and did not take into account the lack of information and options on the steering wheel. But all the same, in emergency situations or a skid, the excellent work of the brakes saves. Thanks to them, the driver can easily cope with light drifts.

Fans of the Russian car industry often choose this car for off-road or bad road driving because they are confident that this car can overcome obstacles of any level.

The car is out of production.

TagAZ Tager SUV, which is a "licensed copy" of the South Korean model Ssangyong korando, which was produced from 1993 to 2006, entered mass production in January 2008 at the facilities of the Taganrog Automobile Plant, and, in contrast to the "source", in body solutions with three and five doors. On the conveyor belt of a Russian company, the car lasted until 2014, after which it “retired”.

With its appearance, TagAZ Tager evokes mixed emotions - it looks very unusual and not entirely proportional against the background of modern SUVs, but external aggression as a "former military" he does not hold.

The most controversial in the car is the front end with narrow-set headlights and a small radiator grill, but from other angles its outlines are more understandable, albeit angular.

The body palette TagAZ Tager combines three- and five-door options. The overall length of the SUV is 4330-4512 mm, width - 1841 mm, height - 1840 mm. It has a wheelbase of 2480 or 2630 mm, depending on the version, and ground clearance is 195 mm.

The interior of "Tager" by design stands out from the canons of modern fashion, but has a simple arrangement of the main controls and good finishing materials. Instruments at the car are uninformative, but well readable, four-spoke steering wheel optimal sizes, and the center console is archaic in appearance and functional in practice.

Despite the sufficient supply of free space, it is difficult to call the TagAZ Tager salon comfortable. The front seats have indistinct lateral support and a minimum number of adjustments, although the rear sofa is shaped very well (in the short-wheelbase version it can accommodate two passengers, and in the five-door version it can accommodate three).

The cargo compartment of the SUV is small - its volume in the "stowed" state does not exceed 350 liters. The second row of seats converts and increases the capacity to 1200 liters, while forming a flat area. The spare wheel is suspended from the tailgate to save space.

Specifications. On the Russian expanses, the all-wheel drive "Tager" meets with two gasoline and two diesel engines... The most powerful version works in conjunction with a 4-range "automatic", and the rest - with a 5-speed "mechanics".

• Elementary gasoline unit- inline "four" with a volume of 2.3 liters with multipoint injection and 16-valve timing, which generates 150 "horses" at 6200 rpm and 210 Nm of torque at 2800 rpm. From a standstill to 100 km / h, such an SUV accelerates after 12.5 seconds, gains 165 km / h of maximum speed and consumes an average of 13.2 liters of fuel in the combined cycle.
• The petrol "team" is headed by a 3.2-liter inline six-cylinder engine with a 24-valve timing and distributed injection, producing 220 "heads" at 6500 rpm and 307 Nm of peak thrust at 4700 rpm. On the move, TagAZ Tager 3.2 is not bad: it takes 10.9 seconds to conquer the first "hundred", the maximum capabilities are 170 km / h, and the "appetite" fits into 15.9 liters in the "city / highway" mode.
• Diesel modifications are equipped with 2.6 and 2.9 liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines with inline-based "pots" and a distributed power system:
  • the return of the "junior" installation is 104 horsepower at 3800 rpm and 216 Nm at 2200 rpm,
  • and the "senior" - 120 "mares" at 4000 rpm and 256 Nm at 2400 rpm.

  Cars on "diesel fuel" change 100 km / h after 16 seconds and conquer 180 km / h, using an average of 8.7 liters of fuel in combined conditions.

Structurally, "Tager" is a real off-road vehicle - a spar frame based on an independent torsion bar suspension on the front axle and a dependent rear axle suspended on coil springs.
The car "flaunts" hydraulic power steering and disc brakes "in a circle" (ventilated at the front) with ABS.
Almost all modifications are equipped with a Part-time transmission with a rigidly connected front end and a transfer case with a lowering row, and the most powerful - permanent drive all wheels with a limited slip differential.

Options and prices. In 2016, you can purchase TagAZ Tager only at secondary market- prices for it start at 220 thousand rubles and exceed 700 thousand.
The simplest SUV includes: one airbag, a fabric interior, air conditioning, power steering, power windows, 16-inch alloy wheels, standard audio preparation and heated and electrically adjustable exterior mirrors.
The flagship version has: two airbags, leather trim, fog lights, rain sensor and some other options.

TagAZ is a large Russian manufacturer cars. The main plant is located in the city of Taganrog. The enterprise started its work quite recently - in 1998. Its production capacity was planned to cope with the production of 180,000 vehicles per year. The first significant step in the development of this brand was the start of joint work with the Korean concern Hyundai. The first machines were the result of cooperation Hyundai accent that the world saw in 2001. After 3 years, the company mastered the production of the Hyundai Sonata business-class sedan. In 2007, the production of a crossover begins Hyundai santa Fe Classic, and a year later - Hyundai elantra XD, the C-class sedan. In addition, the direction of the production of commercial vehicles gradually developed. To date, the range of machines produced at the plant has expanded even more. TagAZ still assembles several Hyundai models, as well as "own" models of SUVs and passenger cars, which are also licensed and previously produced in Korea under the SsangYong brand and in China under the Chery brand.

Tagaz Tager is probably the most controversial representative of the SUV class. Numerous reviews of its owners indicate that they like it and not at the same time. Weak specifications, but at the same time good cross-country ability and excellent design. Many advantages, but no fewer disadvantages. Therefore, you can add your opinion only by looking at the photos and videos of this car.

At the first glance at Tagaz Tager, you get the impression that you are in front of a true representative of the class. Impressive forms, full-fledged content and a characteristic spirit inherent in such. But looking under the hood, you can find a dozen problems that all domestic-made cars face in one way or another.

History of appearance

The history of this SUV dates back to 1984, when the SsangYong company began to produce a car for the soldiers of the US Army, and a few decades later, on the basis of these machines, the Tager is produced, assembled already in Russia at the TagAZ plant.

The Taganrog Automobile Plant was opened in 1998. At that time, he did not manage to get any success, as there was a default and the company was forced to "freeze" its activities. In 1999, the first attempt was made to produce a car under the Orion series, but this action did not bring any results and failed, and did not have time to begin. After that, the plant sets a course for the beginning of cooperation with the companies PSA and Hyndai. As a result, the production of cars is gradually getting better and already in 2008, the consumer is witnessing the birth of Russian SUV"Tagaz Tager".

Can Tagaz Tager be called an SUV?

Of course. Despite the fact that initially, it was received coldly due to the fact that in the price category in which it was announced, there were models with great potential and already proven themselves in the market. But later the drivers realized that there was something in this car that could please both women and men. Sales gradually began to grow.

There were many reasons for this. Of course, the body of the SUV, which literally hit the Russian market thanks to the echoes of traditional US jeeps, which were in great demand in the market of the same name. Thanks to this design decision, the car acquired:

1. Extended wings.
2. An elegant yet simple front.

Thanks to the wings, all the originality of the extraordinary appearance is preserved. This decision, of course, was made by professionals who know how to combine simplicity and perfection. It was this element that accomplished the impossible, fully justifying the expectations of consumers for the functionality and invisibility of this design solution.

The front end is a source of pride for all owners who bought this car. Most buyers on Russian market have long been accustomed to the ridiculous patterns on the radiator grille and the intricate shape of the headlights. The producers of Tagaz Tager did not want to surprise the consumer with anything and that was exactly what they were able to amaze everyone. The fact is that the hood has remained absolutely standard, there are no unnecessary details to distract the eye, only the classic appearance talking about how good the classics are.

Advice. Tagaz Tager possesses increased consumption fuel, if this fact is important to you, then it is recommended to turn your gaze to other cars of the same price class, more sparingly related to the amount of fuel in the tank.

Interior decoration of the car

In the entire finish of the car, one can feel a tribute to the classics, the simplest forms, uncomplicated patterns, but at the same time, convenience is present in everything. Here and the salon, in the absence of frills, is only admiration. Chairs upholstered in leather, height-adjustable headrests. The rear seats have removable armrests and visors with mirrors and a llama. The floor, in the cabin and in the trunk, is velor. The doors are illuminated when opened, just like the ignition switch, cigarette lighter and, of course, the trunk. This is an extremely wise decision of the designers, as the usability of the car is felt throughout.

The drive handle is located to the right of the driver. All interior details are made in the same color style. Factory assembly assumes light tinting of all glasses. A huge plus are the coated anti-splash guards. The luggage compartment is small, but can be increased by folding the rear seats. Again, returning to the topic of convenience, it should be noted that the tailgate opens to the left, which allows loading from the sidewalk without experiencing any inconvenience.

In general, the interior leaves only positive impressions, many drivers note that despite their dimensions, the interior is still spacious, which means it is comfortable to be. Of course, this SUV also has significant drawbacks, which will be discussed below.

Vehicle characteristics

There is no need to expect unrealistic technical indicators or other delights from this car. You need to understand that it was created solely in order to pass where an ordinary car cannot pass, so the question of speed did not even come up. , installed in Tagaz Tager, has a power of 120 hp, so you won't be able to race on the track.

It takes 16 seconds to accelerate to 100 km / h. For modern SUVs, such a characteristic is too low, which does not paint the car in any way. Of course, you should not pay special attention to this parameter, since anyone in their right mind will need to accelerate from a standstill in an SUV. That's why he and an SUV, to drive through swamps and forests.

Attention! Tagaz produces a modification of the Tager, which has an engine power of 220 hp.

If you are going to drive a car every day and at the same time dream of not spending too much money on it, then Tager is not for you. After all, 100 kilometers of driving around the city will "eat up" almost 16 liters of fuel. This indicator is simply terrifying and instantly destroys the dream of a cheap car. That is why Europeans practically do not use this SUV and prefer to use their own brands.

Price category

The biggest advantage of Tager is its cost - 600 thousand rubles. Such an indicator allows buyers to buy for little money really standing SUV, which will satisfy them in all respects, except for fuel consumption, of course. You need to understand that the car is not as good as many people want, but it can easily satisfy the needs of motorists transporting their families.

In this price category, Tager has practically no competitors, except for a few notable foreign-made cars. But their technical characteristics leave much to be desired. Of course, when buying, you should think about the fact that even small repair the car can result in a large amount. Indeed, today, there are not so many mechanics who are ready to take on the repair of this SUV, and spare parts, most often, need to be bought from the manufacturer. All this makes car owners spend a lot.

Advantages and disadvantages

Car owners who have tried this car agree that before buying, you need to carefully consider the purposes for which the car is being bought. After all, if you want to quickly drive cars, then this is not the option. And those who like hunting or traveling will find their ideal in Tager.
