2014 became a truly significant year for the Gorky Automobile Plant. The company presented one of the main novelties of the decade in its product line. GAZon Next, following GAZelle Next, was supposed to conquer not only the domestic, but also the foreign market.

The main emphasis in Nizhny Novgorod was made on localization. GAZon Next can be confidently called a domestic truck. Up to 90% of all parts present in its design are manufactured in Russia. This is precisely the main advantage of the car, which is guaranteed a cloudless future. GAZon Next is not only attractive, but also reliable. These qualities make it the main contender for leadership in the medium-duty truck segment in Russia.

In 2014, after a series of intriguing announcements, GAZ Group presented a car, unique for our country - GAZon Next. The novelty was positioned as a replacement for several popular families at once. First of all, in Nizhny Novgorod they decided to say goodbye to the GAZ-3307 model, the production of which began in the Soviet era (in 1987). For almost 30 years of production, the truck is seriously outdated, despite several upgrades. At the same time, marketers of the GAZ Group did not rack their brains and named the new product "Lawn" - this is what the people used to call the company's previous products. GAZon Next also became the successor to the latest generation GAZ-33088.

For a quarter of a century, the brand has sold over 2 million GAZ-3307 and GAZ-33088. Moreover, almost half of them are still being successfully operated. However, due to the need to update the car park, medium and small businesses increasingly began to choose foreign products. Consumers were reluctant to buy outdated equipment, even at a low cost. This was the prerequisite for the creation of a fundamentally new model.

The President of Russia was present at the premiere of the truck, which speaks of the high significance of this event. The manufacturer promised the future owners of the model the durability of the structure and excellent characteristics. Despite the serious localization of production, GAZon Next is an alloy of domestic and foreign elements. Thus, the car received a cabin of the latest generation of GAZelle, a clutch from the German company ZF and a Valdai brake system. This principle allowed us to make a truly high-quality product.

The history of GAZon Next has one generation, and the truck itself is only gaining popularity. However, its creators are confident that in the medium-tonnage segment, the truck will be able to bypass most of its competitors. With a standard base, the equipment is ready to transport a significant mass (up to 5000 kg), which sets it apart from other machines. The manufacturer will offer several variations of the model at once, differing in the type of wheelbase (four by four, four by two), ground clearance (315 and 265 mm) and platform length (standard and extended versions).

GAZon Next is not just a narrow-profile truck, but a large family, divided into three groups: off-road, universal and urban. The first is considered the heir to the GAZ-66 (a modernized platform and unique characteristics), the second resembles the classic GAZ-3307 and has big wheels, significant ground clearance and good cross-country ability. Its main drawback is considered to be a decent loading height. Urban modifications do not have such a disadvantage due to wheels of a smaller diameter, but they will not work for rough terrain. Each of the versions can be equipped with two types of cabins (3- and 7-seater).

The main advantages of the model:

• compactness with adequate roominess;
• simplicity of design, availability of spare parts and high maintainability;
• relatively low cost;
• the possibility of loading (unloading) in a confined space;
• manufacturer's warranty (150,000 km or 3 years).

The standard GAZon Next chassis allows you to install various types of superstructures, which significantly expands the scope of the vehicle (vans, dump trucks, garbage trucks, tow trucks, tanks, manipulators, aerial platforms and others). The most popular are onboard versions, which are used for transportation different types cargo for long and medium distances.

In the basic version, the model is equipped with wheels of radius R20.

Engine

Several power plant options are available for the GAZon Next car:

1. YaMZ 534 produced by the Yaroslavl Motor Plant. The first version of this unit began to be installed on the GAZ 3309 in 2013. For GAZon Next, a more advanced version of the YaMZ 5344 with a charge air cooler and turbocharging is provided. The installation turned out to be quite successful, which is confirmed by the award for the best innovative technology from the Adam Smith Institute, which was awarded to the Yaroslavl plant for this unit. The YaMZ 5344 engine is an upgraded version of the base series. The technical characteristics of the unit comply with European requirements. The motor itself is adapted to Russian fuel and operating conditions, therefore it tolerates intensive work and subzero temperatures well.

The diesel unit YaMZ 5344 is considered one of the most modern and has a service life of up to 700,000 km. Due to optimally selected gear ratios transmissions, the extreme loads do not occur even in difficult conditions, allowing the engine to run longer. The motor complies with Euro-4 standards.

Characteristics of the YaMZ 5344 motor:

• working volume - 4.43 liters;
• rated power (for the four by two version) - 101 (137) kW (hp);
• rated power (forced version for the four by four version) - 109.5 (148.9) kW (hp);

• cylinder diameter - 105 mm;
• weight - 470 kg.

2. Cummins ISF is an alternative to the domestic diesel engine in the GAZon Next line. The unit has proven itself well in working with Russian fuel. Strong frosts are not afraid of him either. True, pre-heating is only available here as an option. The Cummins ISF 4-stroke engine is air cooled and liquid cooled. With YaMZ 5344, this motor is very close, but not identical. The engine complies with Euro-4 requirements.

Features of the Cummins ISF motor:

• working volume - 3.76 liters;
• rated power - 112 (152.3) kW (hp);
• maximum torque - 497 Nm;
• weight - 335 kg.

Device

The design of GAZon Next turned out to be quite successful. Its features:

1. Suspension

Automobile equipped with the latest suspension, which has shown itself very well. The course of the car due to it became softer, and braking smoother. The truck does not throw to the side, unlike the GAZ 3307 car. The front springs were modernized by the specialists of the GAZ Group. The suspension also includes stabilizers lateral stability(rear and front axle) and Tenneco shock absorbers to reduce vibration. While the installation of air suspension is only planned. The technique received a reinforced frame, although on previous models this element was distinguished by its high strength. A special anti-corrosion protection was applied to it - a cataphoresis coating.

2. Braking system

Pneumatic braking system is different increased efficiency... It is designed for models weighing up to 12,000 kg, therefore it works very efficiently at GAZon Next. It provides low pedal pressure and quick response. Disc brakes are installed on all wheels. Also, an innovation unique for domestic trucks appeared - in basic configuration the car is equipped with ASR, EBD and ABS systems. More recently, the presence traction control on a Russian truck was considered a fantasy, now it's the norm. The ASR system (manufactured by Wabco) reduces the slip of the drive wheels, increasing the acceleration speed. Thanks to this function, the car starts to move confidently on gravel surfaces and on ice. The driver can disable the system if necessary. EBD system (electronic distribution braking efforts) increases directional stability, minimizing the likelihood of loss of control over the machine during heavy braking. The brake system also includes a brake pad wear indicator. Their resource is equal to 200,000 km. All-wheel drive versions of GAZon Next in the "base" are equipped with drum brakes.

3. Transmission

Transmission exclusively mechanical and 5-speed. However, it also differs markedly from its predecessors. So the steering is of the integral type. The gearbox and the electronic gas pedal are controlled by the joystick. The transmission has become much more reliable, but slightly increased the cost of the model.

Other features of the GAZon Next gearbox:

• Italian synchronizers Oerlikon Graziano are installed for 2-5 gears. They, coupled with the grinding of the gear teeth, ensure an almost silent operation of the transmission, increase the reliability of the entire unit and guarantee easy gear shifting;
• increased thickness of gears;
• foreign SKF bearings;
• cuffs Simrit and Rubena, excluding the possibility of leaks;
• clutch units from Sachs ZF (single-disc clutch, dry);
• not necessary double squeeze clutch and rebase.

4. Cardan transmission

Cardan transmission Spicer (Dana) maintenance-free type. The need for lubrication of this element in the process Maintenance excluded. It is checked every 20,000 km.

5. Tires

The basic version of GAZon Next is equipped with 8.25R20 Cordiant tires, which are characterized by increased bearing capacity. In urban modification there are wheels R19.5 with tubeless tire and without bead ring.

6. Cab

The GAZon Next cab is made in accordance with international standards. The cab module migrated to the truck from the GAZelle Next car. It was complemented by a large bumper, which made the car a little angular. The appearance of the technology cannot be called super attractive, but in the stream of cars it immediately stands out. There is more space inside the base cabin of GAZon Next (3 people can fit here). A double cab with a driver and 6 passengers is also available. Inside, everything is quite simple, but at the same time it is convenient (most of the elements were moved from the GAZelle Next cab). Other features include a comfortable fit, the presence of ventilation, enlarged mirrors, increased rigidity of the driver's compartment and good noise isolation due to the Anvis supports. The comfort seat with many adjustments and mechanical suspension minimizes driver fatigue, even on long journeys. Armrests are already installed in the "base".

7. Steering wheel

The GAZon Next steering wheel is very ergonomic, but it is adjustable only by tilt. It has a built-in radio control. The modern power steering from ZFLS provides easy steering and does not create additional noise. The wheel itself has a smaller radius, which makes it more comfortable. The number of revolutions of a full turn is 4.2.

8. Body

In the basic version, a steel body is installed. Optionally, the manufacturer offers an aluminum body with increased corrosion resistance.

Disadvantages of the GAZon Next model:

• high cost in comparison with other brand products;
• weak resistance to aggressive external influences;
• the build quality is inferior to the foreign one.

5 / 5 ( 1 vote)

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

It was 2014 that was the most significant year for the enterprise in Gorky. The firm has presented to people one of the most important new models of the decade in its own product line. It was planned that GAZon Next, like GAZelle Next, was capable of conquering not only the domestic, but also the foreign market. The whole.

The main emphasis at the Nizhny Novgorod enterprise was placed on localization. The car can be called confidently "own". Up to 90 percent of all elements that are present in its design are produced in the territory of the Russian Federation. This is exactly what serves the most important advantage a vehicle that is guaranteed a cloudless future.

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

Now the Gorky Automobile Plant can offer the GAZon Next dump truck and the GAZon Next City - new interesting vehicles. For a bad road, the Next 4x4 GAZon was provided. In this article, you will be able to find out about the carrying capacity, fuel consumption, reviews of a brand new car.

Car history

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

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

GAZ-3307

For about 30 years of production, the truck has become significantly outdated, despite the whole list of improvements. Considering all this, marketing specialists did not rack their brains and decided to name a new one. vehicle"Lawn".

By the way, it was just in this way that it was customary for the people to call the past issues of the company. The model even became the successor to the latest generation GAZ-33088. For 25 years, the digging company was able to sell more than 2,000,000 models of GAZ-3307 and 33088.

GAZ-33088

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

Consumers did not want to buy outdated equipment, even if it price policy was not that high. In part, this was the reason for designing a completely new model.

GAZon Next turned out to be fully 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 spoke of the considerable importance of such an event. Manufacturers promised potential buyers the durability of the model and excellent performance.

Despite the good localization of the release, the car is a fusion of domestic and foreign elements. Therefore, the new GAZon Next acquired the cabin of the latest GAZelle generation, the clutch was installed by ZF (Germany), and brake system from "". A similar principle made it possible to make a high quality car.

The history of GAZon Next has not a single family, and the car itself is just beginning to gain fame. But the design team is confident that in the medium-tonnage section, GAZon Next will be able to bypass many rivals.

V standard configuration and the platform, the car can transport up to 5 thousand kilograms, which makes it one of the best in comparison with other models.

The manufacturer will offer several design options at once, which differ in the type of wheel base (4x4, 4x2), ground clearance (315 and 265 mm), as well as the length of the platform (standard, or the presence of 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 heir to the 66th Lawn (the presence of an upgraded platform and a unique technical component).

The second one looks a little like a standard Lawn 3307, which, as a result, allowed her to get rather big wheels, a solid height ground clearance and good cross-country ability. The most important disadvantage of this model is the solid loading height.

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

Appearance

The very first thing that catches your eye on a brand new truck is the cab design. She looks a little like Gazelle Next with her silhouette. Here, too, you can find an 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 the families of trucks of the Gorky Automobile Plant, they began to use the presence of plastic front fenders, and the cab itself received a galvanized coating.

It is important to note that past Lawn models had a cab weak point- it almost immediately began to rust. The new trucks received the presence of volumetric side mirrors, "mugs", which significantly increase the driver's visibility.

As a separate option, they can be supplied with an electric heating option. It was decided to supplement the GAZon Next cab with a massive bumper, which made the car a little angular. External appearance the car cannot be called super-attractive, but in the stream of vehicles, the novelty can immediately stand out.

If we talk about the body itself, then it has a steel design. An aluminum body with increased corrosion resistance can be ordered as a separate option. GAZon Next City received a reduced loading / unloading height, which made it more adaptable to work in cities.

Interior

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

The interior space is in many ways similar to the elements of the Next Gazelle. It is convenient to follow the road, the driver is assisted by a rather 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 conditioner;
• Cruise control;
• Heated seats.

And all this comes already in the basic configuration. Volga passenger sedans cannot even dream of such a thing, and the Russian truck has it all! In front of the driver is a 4-spoke multifunction steering wheel, which looks quite modern, almost the same as on other foreign cars.

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

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

The Lawn Next cab can accommodate 3 adults

They also increased the rigidity of the driver's section with Anvis mounts. The driver's seat has received a large number of adjustments and a mechanical suspension, which minimizes driver fatigue, even on a long trip.

The basic equipment also has armrests. The dashboard looks intuitive and quite understandable, there is a nice backlighting. The center console has a free niche for installing third-party multimedia devices.

Specifications

Power unit

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

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

YaMZ 5344 engine

It was they who were awarded the Yaroslavl enterprise for a similar engine. 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 better "digests" any diesel fuel, and given the Russian conditions, this is a clear advantage.

YaMZ is well adapted to the conditions of use and tolerates well-saturated work during low temperature regime... If the engineering staff decided to install the "American", then he would clearly be able to ruin the car owners of GAZon Next.

Despite the increased volume, compared to Cummins, Yaroslavl power unit it functions quieter than its previous model at GAZon 3309. According to the assurances of the company, YaMZ-5344 is considered one of the most modern engines, and it has a functioning resource 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 Euro-4 standards.

Alternatively, it is planned to install the American 3.76-liter Cummnins ISF power unit, which produces 152.3 horse power... He showed himself well when working with domestic fuel.

He is not afraid of severe frosts, that's just the presence preheating here is only optional. The engine has 4 strokes, supplied air cooling and liquid cooling. The American is very similar to his direct rival, 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 high-speed mode movement at 80 km / h. If you move at 60 kilometers per hour, the consumption will drop to 13.6 liters per hundred. The model can climb up to 30 degrees.

Transmission

Then the engineering staff decided to install an uncontested 5-speed mechanical box gear shifting. But it also differs significantly from previous models. The gearbox and the electronic accelerator pedal can be operated using the joystick.

The box has become more reliable, but raised the price a little. At the 2nd and 5th speeds there are Italian Oerlikon Graziano synchronizers. They, together with the grinding of the gear teeth, provide an 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, bearings were installed. foreign production SKF have used Simrit and Rubena cuffs, which eliminate leakage.

The clutch was from Sachs ZF, which, by the way, is dry and single disc. V this car the need to squeeze the clutch and re-gas twice disappeared - "Well, finally" - every owner will say!

Suspension

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

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

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

The suspension features anti-roll bars (rear and front) and Tenneco dampers to reduce vibrations. The use of air suspension is still only in the plans.

Brake system

It may surprise you, but disc brakes are installed on all wheels of the new GAZon. Moreover, the company announced that they did it, increasing efficiency. So now it is calculated for weight 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 has been equipped with systems such as ASR (Wabco), EBD and ABS.

With the help of ACP, it is possible to reduce the slip of the rear wheels, which increases the acceleration speed. With the latter introduction, the truck can move more confidently on gravel or ice.

On top of that, the engineers have provided the ability to turn off this system, if necessary. The brake system has a brake pad wear indicator with a resource of 200 thousand kilometers. If you take a modification of the Next GAZon with four-wheel drive, then basic models come with drum brakes.

Steering

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

Modifications

A universal model, an off-road Sadko with a rotational module and an urban model is envisaged. There is a standard and extended car platform. Models are C41R11 and C41R31. There is also a GAZon Next C42. The car is not only an onboard vehicle, on its platform they produce different modifications, such as:

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

GAZon Next aerial platform

Since 2016, the Gorky Automobile Plant plans to start production truck tractor in serial performance, 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, therefore, most likely, the residents of Nizhny Novgorod will face a new task - to develop a new power unit for the car. There is a GAZon Next dump truck, a GAZon Next pickup truck.

Price

An on-board truck with a single-row cab will cost from 1,580,000 rubles. As a separate option, you can set the presence of a radio, cruise control, seat heating options and electric windows.

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

2-row cab modification

A modification with a 2-row cab, designed for 7 seats, will be estimated at 1,655,000 rubles. It is possible to order a car according to your needs, but the price tag will be clearly higher. The extended version of the C41R31 will be estimated at 1,830,000 rubles with standard equipment.

Special versions come at a price of 1,700,000 rubles. Let the car be new, but there is already an opportunity to purchase truck from hands. The price will vary from 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 rubles, depending on the modification, equipment and general condition of the model.

The GAZon NEXT van is ideal for operation in the Russian climate and off-road conditions, and thanks to the innovations in its design, it will help to make the work of drivers even more efficient and comfortable!

Suspension. GAZon NEKST has a reinforced low-leaf front leaf spring suspension embedded in rubber-metal hinges with a high level of reliability and long service life. It provides high smoothness, stability and controllability, allows you to maintain straight-line movement during braking and move comfortably in off-road conditions. The rear leaf spring suspension has been improved, modern shock absorbers f. Tenneco that effectively dampens vibrations.

Steering. "GAZon NEXT" is equipped with ZFLS steering, the steering mechanism in which has a variable gear ratio, which provides high information content of control. Now it takes a low number of revolutions and optimal effort to make a full turn of the wheels. The steering has high stability and control characteristics, it is reliable and durable. Power steering works almost silently, steering column is height adjustable and the steering wheel is ergonomically designed.

Brakes, brake system. The car is equipped with a modern pneumatic braking system, which is highly reliable and allows to shorten the braking distance. Also on "GAZon NEKST" there are ventilated disc brakes on all wheels, which are well cooled, provide high braking efficiency, are easy to maintain, and are much lighter and more compact than drum brakes.

Upgraded transmission. In the new "GAZon NEXT", the transmission of torque to the gearbox has been increased to 490 Nm, the effort and travel on the clutch pedal has been reduced. Gear shifting has become clearer, almost silent, the level of vibration of the transmission is reduced. Installed modern efficient unattended cardan transmission as well as imported reliable cuffs.

Cardan transmission and rear axle... The maintenance-free cardan drive eliminates the need for lubrication during maintenance. inspection. It is necessary to check the fastening of the cardan transmission 3 times less often, that is, every 15-20 thousand km. The design uses the cuffs of the pinion shaft, as well as the Simrit hub - reliable and durable.

Transmission. The GAZon NEKST gearbox includes the most modern mechanisms. These are SKF bearings, Oerlikon Graziano synchronizers, thanks to which you can easily and silently change gears, Rubena, Simrit cuffs, which eliminate the possibility of leakage, maintenance-free Spicer (Dana) cardan gear, which does not need to be lubricated during maintenance and needs to be checked 3 times less often its fastening (after 20 thousand km.).
