Last year's list of cheap cars with automatic transmission predictably consisted of the "Chinese", Lada and Ravon - adjusted for the fact that Ravon did not supply cars to Russia even then. However, now Ravon has not only suspended deliveries, but also sent them for revision of the price - so far they are not on the official website. The Chinese, represented by FAW and Brilliance, sold off the remnants of cheap Oley and H230 sedans and updated their websites - now only crossovers worth about a million remain in the assortment of both brands. Well, the VAZ state employees have since undergone an update: Granta has undergone restyling, during which Kalina merged with it - and all this has affected prices, among other things. In general, let's see who will make up company Lada at the beginning of 2019.

• Price basic configuration: from 435 000
• Package price with automatic transmission: from 536,500 with AMT / from 596,500 with AT

If last year the Granta was not the cheapest “two-pedal” car on the market, yielding to the Ravon R2 and FAW Oley, now, despite the restyling and the slight increase in price associated with it, it is the one that is asked for the least. We talked about the update in detail after, and in early September we held it - in these materials you can find out exactly what changes Granta received. Many of them are small, dotted - but some little things like the trunk release button were not enough for the owners. Yes, and updating the appearance also benefited the car.

But technical changes with restyling came a little. Among the key ones are "plug-in" pistons with recesses for valves, a new main pair with increased gear ratio and sport mode robotic box gears. Otherwise, everything remained the same: three engines, three gearboxes and four (taking into account the merger with Kalina) body types. The base eight-valve 87-horsepower engine is only compatible with mechanical box, in tandem with the “robot”, the most powerful, 106-horsepower unit with the index 21127 works, and with the four-speed automatic transmission JF414E from Jatco - 98-horsepower 21126.

Basic equipment of the cheapest Granta sedan still modest. Although painted bumpers are now a mandatory option, there is no power steering or power windows here - only a driver's airbag, ABS with BAS yes cabin filter(although the latter is not bad in itself). Such a car costs 435 thousand rubles - but there can be no talk of any automatic transmission here. The most affordable offer with two pedals is the Classic Optima for 536.5 thousand: a robotic box, electric power steering, heated mirrors and air conditioning. But there will be only one airbag, the mirrors are manually adjustable, the rear sofa is one-piece, there is no seat heating, and instead of an audio system there is a recess in the front panel. To eliminate all this, you need to pay only 20 thousand - and get the Comfort version for 556.5 thousand. But a sedan with an automatic machine is not “poor” - this is at least the same Comfort, but already for 596.5 thousand rubles. In other bodies, Granta is a little more expensive: the cheapest and without a clutch pedal cost from 551.5 thousand, and another 10 thousand more.

Datsun on-DO / Datsun mi-DO

• Basic configuration price: from 480,000 / from 545,000
• Equipment price with automatic transmission: from 562,000 / from 595,000

After the final merger of Granta and Kalina, it would be logical not to separate the two Datsun models - especially since technically they are practically twins. Here, little has changed compared to last year: the same VAZ basis, all the same differences in the level of nuances in the suspension and sound insulation, and all the same appearance, which, unlike the Lada, has not seen restyling. chief technical distinction, as before, it is worth considering the absence of a robotic gearbox, as well as the fact that not a 98-horsepower engine is paired with a machine gun, but a junior 87-horsepower eight-valve 11186.

The advantages also remained unchanged: for example, it can be considered a plus that an automatic transmission is available in any version - from basic to top. There is only one exception here: the sedan is still positioned as a more affordable offering and has a basic Access version with unpainted bumpers and no option to pay extra for automatic transmission. In addition, unlike VAZ cars, Datsuns are not offered with air conditioning - climate control immediately appears here for an extra charge. In top versions, cars under Japanese brand equipped with side airbags, which are not offered for Granta. And one more proof high status» Datsun is an opportunity to order an audio system with a 7-inch color touchscreen: Granta has lost this unpopular option.

Technically, the Stepway version is expectedly distinguished by an increased ground clearance of up to 195 mm, a denser and more energy-intensive suspension and the JF015E variator itself, which is well known from Renault-Nissan concern models. True, the CVT is the prerogative of the Stepway City version, while the “regular” and Stepway are offered with the same mechanics and a four-speed automatic. The CVT, unlike the machine, is paired exclusively with the most powerful 113-horsepower H4M engine, and other power units are the same as those of the “French” mentioned above: K7M or H4M paired with a five-speed manual or 102-horsepower K4M in combination with AKP.

Prices for Logan Stepway start at 676 thousand rubles - there is no “empty” version of Access here, and given the price, it is logical to see air conditioning, heated mirrors and front seats, power windows and more in the base. A sedan with automatic transmission costs at least 766 thousand rubles, and with a CVT it is even more expensive: 801 thousand rubles. The most expensive Logan with a long clarification "Stepway Drive City" will cost 872 thousand. Sandero is even more expensive: 723 thousand in the base, from 793 thousand with a hydromechanical automatic machine and 911 thousand in the top version.

• Basic equipment price: from 690,000
• Equipment price with automatic transmission: from 770,000

The larger the amount we allocate for the purchase, the more clearly the love of buyers in Russia for everything “crossover” becomes, even if in fact it differs only in the presence of a decorative plastic body kit. - another such "crossover": a small hatchback with 185 millimeters ground clearance and exclusively front-wheel drive, but with black plastic decorations on the arches. Otherwise, there are no revelations either: there is a beam in the rear suspension, under the hood there is a 1.5-liter engine with the LF479Q2 index, which produces a modest and tax-inconvenient 103 horsepower. The only “vent” is the opportunity to pay extra and choose not a five-speed mechanics, but a variator, although this combination will please only a calm driver.

Lifan X50 "11.2014-present

The minimum amount to buy Lifan X50 is 690 thousand rubles. However, the pricing here is quite typical for Chinese brands: the difference between the "base" and "top" is small, so from the starting Comfort to the two-pedal Luxury CVT - only 80 thousand. However, there are at least differences: a multifunction steering wheel, rear parking sensors and heated front seats. Even the sunroof and a multimedia system with a touchscreen and navigation went only to the "mechanical" version of Luxury. You can pay extra in a car with a CVT only for the Off-Road stylistic package, which offers overlays for arches and bumpers for 25 thousand rubles. By the way, it is also worth noting that for all the machines discussed above, only prices for 2019 copies were indicated, but the X50 can only be purchased last year.

• Basic configuration price: from 688,000
• The price of a complete set with automatic transmission: from 809 000

Almera has already been discontinued, and therefore it should not be surprising that, like Lifan, only last year's cars remained on sale. However, while she is living out her life "from stocks", it would also be unfair to exclude her from the list. Nissan expects that these stocks will be enough for the spring, which indicates not the highest demand. There is nothing to be surprised here: the related Logan has already been updated several times, and since 2012 Almera has continued to exploit the image of the “big Logan” without any noticeable changes. In addition, only one engine is offered for the sedan - the “intermediate” 102-horsepower K4M, which is the same for the five-speed mechanics and for the same four-speed DP2 automatic.

Previously, seeing a girl driving a car, many were shocked and surprised. Today, the girl behind the wheel will not surprise anyone. This, in turn, is pushing car manufacturers to create new and more "glamorous" cars that are designed specifically for the fair sex. So what is the difference between "male" and "female" cars, and most importantly, which car is better for a woman?

Categories of cars for girls

If you look at it, then such a thing as a “female car” is not in the dictionary, it is found only in conversations, because this class of car is not officially registered. Everything that distinguishes a car that belongs to a girl can be described in a few words:

beauty;

Color (women tend to prefer something bright and original);

Size (women prefer smaller cars).

But that's not all either. There is another row distinctive characteristics, but they can already be called individual. After all, women always remain women, and they approach the choice of their “thing” very carefully and scrupulously in order to shine and “outshine” the rest.

Sports cars are chosen by girls with a strong character and an active lifestyle. Such girls need status powerful cars to "show" yourself and your character.

Budget cars are chosen by practical women who are not accustomed to overspend. For them, a car is not a luxury, but a means of transportation, a great option to take children to kindergarten / school, and then pick them up, stopping by a supermarket along the way for shopping.

But not all women prefer small cars. Many want to emphasize their status or simply take advantage of large cars - a large cargo compartment. Then women choose crossovers. And many women who start their own business also prefer such cars.

Criteria for choosing a car for a woman

When choosing her car, a woman prefers harmony - it is important that everything is beautiful and well “combined” with each other. The very first thing a woman pays attention to when choosing a car (after color, of course) is ease of driving. Why is this so important for women? Yes, because they are weak and fragile creatures, plus everything else and over-emotional, and this interferes with driving.

Dimensions also play a role, but here it increasingly depends on the status of a woman, her experience and driving style, yes, and do not forget about character. All this together leads to the fact that some prefer cars with a high seating position and solid dimensions, others - small and compact, and still others try to combine all this and choose medium dimensions.

Safety is just as important for women as it is for men. Therefore, it is worth remembering that a small car, due to its size, cannot provide sufficient safety. In this regard, brands such as Toyota, BMW and Audi deserve attention, because even with a limited body size, they provide the necessary safety.

Functionality. It was for women that air conditioning and heated seats, as well as an automatic transmission, were invented. Yes, any woman will be pissed off tight steering and the inability to shift gears, and therefore - a must!

Economical operation and maintenance. Any woman wants her car to “eat” less. After all, then less often you will need to think about the amount of gasoline in the tank and the need to go to the gas station. And the need to visit the service station almost every month or two attracts few people.

Interesting to know!The Queen of Great Britain is the only woman who is allowed to drive a car without a license.

Last but not least is reliability. How often have you seen women stand in the middle of the road and look under the hood of their car to tighten the adjusting screws on the carburetor, or change the wheel?

This is not an accident, because they can give odds on the road even to an experienced male driver. That is why such a thing as women's cars appeared. It is still not known for certain which cars are considered to be women's, because in choosing a four-wheeled unit, the female half of the population, as in making any important decisions, relies on their own intuition. It can be a certain brand, model, and even the color of the car you like. In such cases, as they say, I saw and won. However, some experts still distinguish a number of cars that are considered to be primordially female.

Cheap cars for ladies

The auto industry is trying to focus on each client, so you can often see cars that win the sympathy of female representatives. Of course, some women prefer massive cars like the X6 or large-sized ones, but not all automakers agree with this choice. Companies that make cars for ladies often hit the mark. Their little cars turn out to be not only stylish and compact - representatives of the beautiful half of humanity love them like that, but also affordable, which is important in today's life. Such specimens easily become the favorites of women, because they are satisfied with everything - from appearance to cost and fuel consumption.

We suggest you familiarize yourself with the bright representatives of budget women's cars:

• The true female option is rightfully. This baby is suitable for both business trips around the city and for going to supermarkets outside the city. Often you can see men driving such a car, and this is not surprising: they do not miss the opportunity to feel the maneuverability of a Korean baby. It is worth noting that the “baby” easily accommodates four adult passengers (including the driver), for children it will be even more spacious. Korean pleasure costs about nine thousand "green", and fuel consumption in the city is six liters.

• Another representative of female Koreans - Hyundai Getz. The car attracts the attention of women's hearts with its economy and striking design. And for good reason: the trunk of the Japanese is so voluminous that it can easily fit a baby stroller, as well as purchases of active shopping - essentials for real ladies. The cost of this Korean baby reaches eleven thousand US dollars.

• Another Asian among women's cars - Nissan Micra. Japanese baby will suit business and demanding ladies who know a lot about significant acquisitions. The basic equipment starts from thirteen thousand dollars, and the power is 88 horses, which allows this little car to be frisky and dynamic on the roads.

• Among the European representatives of the car market, 107 is popular. The Frenchman is in special demand among stylish and business mothers, as it corresponds to high safety indicators. You can buy a safe machine for a price of eleven thousand dollars.

• It is in considerable demand, despite the fact that this model is not miniature. The car can be safely considered the optimal solution for big family, as it will accommodate not only the owner with her cosmetic bag, but will comfortably accept her husband, mother and two children. Such a car will cost fourteen thousand "evergreens".

• Kia Picanto- a model that is very popular with girls. The Korean beauty is quite hardy, and inside is spacious, despite the modest parameters. And the cost of the car is quite acceptable - you will have to pay at least twelve thousand dollars for it.

• - compact "Japanese", popular among girls. He stands out for his extraordinary appearance, therefore he attracts the attention of the same bright and extraordinary girls who strive to constantly be in the spotlight. The Japanese original starts from fourteen thousand dollars.

• Fiat 500 one more, no doubt female car chik. Small, compact, but at the same time so maneuverable, dynamic and easy to manage, it gives a lot of pleasure to the female representatives. There is an Italian kid from seventeen thousand "greens".

• C1 is a bright favorite of the fair sex, which embodies compactness with reliability and quality. It costs a crumb of about fourteen thousand US dollars.

• The representative of the A-class is economical. The car is very practical: it has many shelves, niches and pockets for all kinds of knick-knacks, which are so fond of the representatives of the female half of the population. And from the light steering wheel of this car, women are simply delighted! You can buy a Chevrolet Spark for fourteen thousand dollars.

• Young mothers prefer to drive a practical one. Let outwardly the car is absolutely not feminine, it has rough features and a bulky body, but in its trunk a baby stroller and even the consequences of successful shopping can easily fit. Such a practical four-wheeled friend will cost the ladies from fourteen thousand American bills.

On the video review of the most popular women's cars:

Girls best friends

It's probably easier to get used to the idea that small cars are made for women. Undoubtedly, there are middle-aged girls and ladies who choose comfortable sedans and even powerful SUVs for themselves. However, as statistics show, most of the female population prefers small cars. It would seem: how can a small car cost big money? It turns out it can.

Here are the brands of women's cars:

• smart fortwo- the most charming and attractive baby. Despite the very small dimensions, the German miracle has a capacity of seventy-one horsepower. The little car is very dynamic, and it is a pleasure to drive it around the city zombified by traffic jams. By the way, the price of such pleasure is twenty-five thousand American dollars.

• Toyota Yaris attracts a lot of female attention. This car is compact and spacious, and it also does not hold comfort. The maneuverable Japanese is acquired by both girls and ladies of the age, laying out from twenty-three thousand in American currency.

• - a car not only for women, but also for men. This kid is quite status, and therefore it is expensive - from twenty-five thousand dollars.

• VW Golf- no less popular car among the female population. It is larger and more spacious than compatriot Smart, but it costs a little cheaper - from twenty thousand dollars.

• - a car for a real lady who loves comfort and prestige. The French baby will become the best friend for her mistress, who will have to pay about twenty thousand dollars for a car.

The video tells how to choose a women's car:

The concept of "women's car" has no clear boundaries. Among those brands and models that women choose, small-capacity and small-sized cars predominate. The most important thing is that the lady should feel at the wheel easily, freely and at ease. If, after spending a certain time behind the wheel and having tested all the possibilities of an iron friend, the lady remains delighted and does not want to change the car to another option, we can safely say that such a car is female.

The popularity of these models among car enthusiasts with brilliance indicates that size really does not matter.

If you ask automakers, none of them will give an intelligible answer to the question of what a women's car is. At the same time, any girl is able to distinguish a male model from a female one at a glance, even if she has never been behind the wheel. It's so simple: a woman's car should be comfortable, attractive, economical, safe and reliable, that is, combine only the most positive features ever put into a four-wheeled vehicle by a person.

WomanJournal carefully studied the offer of car dealerships and compiled its own top ten truly female models. Let the manufacturers be silent - we know for sure which machine is best for a modern girl.

HYUNDAI GETZ

Hyundai Getz first appeared in Russia in 2002. Since then, this small car has won the hearts of many thousands of girls. Getz attracts with its compactness and reliability. Small on the outside, quite spacious on the inside. The economical model spends from 4.5 to 6 liters of gasoline per 100 km and is quite frisky at the same time.

Airbags with multi-phase deployment are responsible for the safety of the lives of passengers. Their impact is much softer than traditional ones. In side collisions, the Getz fortress will be given by steel beams built into the doors.

By the way, the name Hyundai Getz is part of the advertising slogan "Get more for less."

DAEWOO MATIZ

The appearance of this little eye cannot but cause a smile. One of the most popular "kids" on our roads is Daewoo Matiz. However, first impressions are always deceiving. From the outside, the Matiz seems tiny, but that feeling is lost in the cabin. Four adults can comfortably fit here. True, it is desirable not to be very tall, otherwise the legs will be cramped.

The small size of the car requires more safety for the driver. Therefore, there is a special reinforcement on the Matiz roof, and special power beams are built into the doors to prevent jamming in the event of a side impact.

The plastic fuel tank will prevent gasoline from leaking and igniting if the car is overturned. ABS, two airbags and a powerful braking system for the small dimensions of the car are responsible for the life of the driver and his passengers.

The Matiz salon is quite modest, but the cost of the car does not imply additional frills. Matiz has another task - to become a faithful assistant in movement. And with it, he copes with all the agility of his liter engine.

PEUGEOT 206

Peugeot 206 – this is a real fighter, which is equally good for city driving with a speed limit, and for a free country track. In addition, it is universal: the capabilities of the 206th will delight a novice motorist and will not disappoint an experienced one. It is responsive, with sharp steering, a reliable braking system and excellent dynamics. But over 130 km / h is not worth driving. There is a feeling of weightlessness, and on the road it is better to feel grip.

More than a year ago, the “fawn” began to be produced in two types: a sedan was added to the hatchback. In any body, this is a godsend for motorists who manage to turn a car into a motor home. Despite its relatively small dimensions, the model has an amazing capacity.

MAZDA 2

Russian motorists saw the nimble beauty Mazda 2 for the first time in 2007. This is a model for those who are used to a combination of powerful drive and elegant design. Despite its relatively small dimensions, it drives quite nimbly. "Dvushka" is one of the most economical cars in the B-class: a 1.5-liter engine consumes 5.9 liters per 100 km in the combined cycle.

Mazda 2 only pretends to be a baby. Inside it is very comfortable and convenient. In the trunk, you can easily place a large suitcase or a baby stroller.

By the way, this car is distinguished by a unique function: you can open it without taking the key out of your pocket or bag on your shoulder, by simply pressing the button on the door handle.

TOYOTA YARIS

The five-door subcompact Toyota Yaris first appeared in Russia in 2006. And immediately won loyal fans with her briskness, maneuverability, as well as both flirtatious and elegant appearance.

This baby is a godsend even with a relatively limited budget.

Power Yaris - 87 "horses" - enough for trips out of town. And in urban conditions, this car can be put a bold plus. Small dimensions allow you to turn around in cramped conditions and park where a regular mid-size car simply won’t fit.

The Yaris feature is in the multimodal gearbox. It combines mechanical and automatic transmission. If you like the "handbrake", choose the "M" mode. Fans of the “machine” are recommended the “E” mode, and those who choose a sporty type of ride will like the accelerated “Es”. One car, three driving styles. Not in every small car you will find such a feature.

There are a lot of compartments where it is convenient to put various little things. This ensures that your car will not be cluttered with an abundance of different items.

Today, due to falling prices, the availability of loans, the availability of Vehicle as well as a large number of driving schools, a woman driving a car looks as familiar as a man.

Of course, not all drivers of the stronger sex take women seriously as drivers. However, despite the skeptical attitude towards themselves, the weaker sex successfully masters iron horses and improves their driving skills. According to statistics, women are several times less likely to get into accidents than men - this is primarily due to a more careful driving style and innate accuracy.

Pro tips on what to look for when choosing a car for women

Women, in the very first place, are drawn to coziness and comfort, so for them a car is the second little house. Concerning technical side question, then the requirements for a “female” car do not differ much from the requirements for a “male” one:

Simplicity and ease in management.
Good maneuverability, small turning radius.
Safety of the driver and passengers.
Good technical condition- women are traditionally "savvy" in technical terms worse than men, so the car must have a solid margin of safety not to break down periodically.

Another important point is an affordable price, especially if this is the first car for a woman - so that it would not be a pity to rumple. Ideally, of course, it is better to choose a car from scratch, but not everyone can afford it. It is recommended, if possible, to choose the first car in the middle price segment for the future autolady - from $10,000 to $15,000.
