Technical characteristics of the car Sable 2752

The GAZ Sobol 2752 utility vehicle is a universal van-type commercial vehicle characterized by high technical characteristics (endurance, maneuverability and maintainability). In city conditions, the small dimensions and high technical characteristics of the GAZ Sobol 2752 are simply irreplaceable.

This compact carrier is a smaller copy of the GAZelle: the model is designed on the basis of this car, but unlike its larger “brother” its weight, length and carrying capacity are much less.

GAZ Sobol was launched into serial production in 1998, 4 years after the start of production of the first GAZelle model, which made it possible to avoid many technical shortcomings in its design in advance.

The model has several modifications that differ in van design, technical parameters, total load capacity and number of passenger seats. There is a sliding side door on rails and rear swing doors. The Sobol cargo van for 3 passengers has a luggage compartment with a volume of 6.86 cubic meters, in the minibus version for 7 seats (“Combi”) - 3.7 cubic meters.

The entire family of the Sobol 2752 car is made on the basis of the GAZelle frame, reduced by 66 cm, and also with the transition to a wheelbase with a diameter of 2760 mm instead of 2900 mm. The total load capacity of less than 1 ton allowed the GAZ 2752 to be classified as a light-duty vehicle, as well as provide it with slightly different areas of application compared to the GAZelle.

Model device

Common elements of the line models include:

• one-piece metal body;
• uniformity of the cabin;
• Gearbox, clutch and internal combustion engine;
• external similarity in design (headlights, mirrors, glass).

The distinctive characteristics of Sable include:

• reduced dimensions;
• independent front spring suspension;
• single tire rear axle.

In 2003 and 2010, the GAZ 2752 van received a new look - the external elements and cabin of the car were restyled, in particular:

• the interior has become more ergonomic;
• the block headlights acquired a teardrop shape;
• the tail and instrument panel have been updated.

About 150 elements were updated. Many of them were borrowed from world leaders - BOSCH, Sachs, Anvis Group, ZF, which increased the technical characteristics of the Sobol 2752 and added points to the running capabilities, quality and convenience of vehicles.

The technically improved version was named “Sobol-Business”. It fully reflected the purpose of this car, which is successfully used both in small businesses and for non-commercial trips by large families.

Main technical characteristics of the GAZ 2752 cargo-passenger vehicle

In addition to domestic engines, the Sobol is equipped with an imported Chrisler-2.4L gasoline engine with multipoint injection. Its main technical characteristics: 4 cylinders, 133 hp. With. (98 kW), 204 Nm, 5000 rpm.

Transmission GAZ 2752

Two types of internal combustion engines are installed on vehicles of this line:

• in-line petrol
  (4 cylinders, 16 valves) – 2.3 and 2.4 l;
• diesel power units
  (turbo, 4 cylinders) – 2.1 l.

All of them operate on a 5-speed manual transmission with a two-position transfer case (with low and high gears). The gearbox is fully synchronized, with the exception of reverse gear.

Cabin "Sable"

Since the start of production, Gorky's GAZelle and the GAZ Sobol car have become pioneers in the matter of improving the comfort and improvement of the cabin as a whole; their interior, in comparison with the equipment of truck cabins, was considered luxury. So, if in domestic trucks the dashboard was made of metal, then in the new GAZ 2752 vans it was made of durable, volumetric plastic. The GAZelle had a tachometer on the dashboard, although at that time it was not found in every passenger car.

After several series of restyling, the Sobol 2752 car became even more technologically advanced, more convenient for the driver and passengers: many shortcomings in the arrangement of interior equipment elements were eliminated, the level of comfort was noticeably increased, including due to the quality of materials, the design of the dashboard was refreshed, the audio speakers.

The glove compartment remained just as roomy without losing any volume - an important point, since a vehicle of this class and purpose requires space to store documents. Heating in the cabin works as efficiently as possible due to correctly positioned air duct deflectors.

Points that should be reviewed in the design include:

• choosing a different material for upholstery (lint is difficult to clean);
• depreciation in the driver's seat (this has long been taken into account in imported analogues);
• the gear shift lever is long and inconvenient to use, touching the passenger.

I would also like to draw the attention of designers to the noise level in the car - in such components and parts as the pad on the gear shift lever, the engine shield at the hole for the pedals, and the steering shaft, it is necessary to apply sound insulation.

GAZ 2752 is better known on the Russian market under the name “Sobol”. A small commercial vehicle is rightfully considered one of the most reliable and practical models created by domestic automakers. Along with its operational endurance, the GAZ 2752 is distinguished by its inexpensive maintenance. High quality parts guarantee a long wear period, increasing the time between repairs.

Sobol is especially popular in the segment of medium and small businesses. The model is in great demand due to its high maneuverability and ease of movement, unique design features and low fuel consumption. The vehicle is used to transport various goods over long and short distances.

The GAZ 2752 van has a special luggage compartment with a capacity of up to 7 cubic meters. The body doors located at the rear open wide, which makes loading into the trunk easier. The presence of a side door allows you to place small loads in the car.

What category of vehicles (truck or passenger car)

According to Art. 358 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, in particular, passenger cars and trucks are defined as categories of vehicles recognized as an object of taxation, in relation to which the corresponding tax rates for transport tax are established.

For the purpose of administering transport tax in accordance with Art. 362 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, information about vehicles and the persons to whom they are registered is received by the tax authorities from the authorities carrying out state registration of vehicles, according to forms approved by the federal executive body authorized for control and supervision in the field of taxes and fees.

In the forms of information about vehicles and the persons to whom they are registered, submitted by the authorities carrying out state registration of vehicles (approved by Order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated September 17, 2007 N MM-3-09 / [email protected] ), indicators are provided for “type of vehicle means" and "purpose (category) of the vehicle".

Established ch. 28 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the distribution of vehicles by category is generally similar to the categories of vehicles provided for by the Convention on Road Traffic, concluded in Vienna on November 8, 1968 (hereinafter referred to as the Convention). The Convention, in particular, provides for such categories of vehicles as cars and trucks, and establishes a number of criteria: maximum permitted weight, number of seats, purpose for transporting goods or transporting passengers.

Since the Convention was ratified by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated April 29, 1974 N 5938-VIII and the Russian Federation is a contracting party, legal acts of the Russian Federation in the field of road traffic must take into account its provisions.

At the same time, when considering this issue, the following must be taken into account. In paragraph 3 of Art. 15 of the Federal Law of December 10, 1995 N 196-FZ “On Road Traffic Safety” states that the admission of vehicles to participate in road traffic on the territory of the Russian Federation is carried out by registering vehicles and issuing relevant documents.

Thus, the document valid on the territory of the Russian Federation for registration and admission of vehicles to operation is a vehicle passport (PTS), which confirms, among other things, the presence of a vehicle type approval (Resolution of the State Standard of Russia of 04/01/1998 N 19 “On improving the certification of motor vehicles means and trailers").

Therefore, the type of vehicle specified in the PTS must correspond to the information specified in the Vehicle Type Approval (certificate of conformity).

According to the Regulations on vehicle passports and vehicle chassis passports, approved by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia N 496, the Ministry of Industry and Energy of Russia N 192, the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia N 134 dated 06/23/2005, in line 4 “Vehicle category (A, B, C, D, trailer) » PTS indicates a category that corresponds to the classification of vehicles established by the Convention. In this case, the transfer of categories of vehicles indicated in the Vehicle Type Approval to vehicle categories according to the classification of the Convention is carried out in accordance with the specified Order in accordance with the Comparative Table of categories of vehicles according to the classification of the Inland Transport Committee of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and the classification of the Convention.

So, for example, according to Appendix 3 to the Regulations on vehicle passports and vehicle chassis passports, vehicles of category “B” (according to the classification of the Convention) are classified as motor vehicles for the transport of passengers, having at least four wheels and no more than eight seats. seats (except for the driver's seat) (passenger cars), and mechanical vehicles for the transport of goods, the maximum weight of which does not exceed 3.5 tons (trucks). Consequently, the indication in the PTS of category “B” does not indicate that the vehicle belongs to a passenger or cargo vehicle.

In the third line “Name (vehicle type)” of the PTS, in accordance with the above Regulations, the characteristics of the vehicle are indicated, determined by its design features, purpose and given in the Vehicle Type Approval, for example: “passenger car”, “bus”, “freight - dump truck, van, cement truck, crane”, etc. Similarly, in accordance with the Industry Standard OH 025 270-66 “Classification and designation system for automotive rolling stock, as well as its units and assemblies produced by specialized enterprises” and clause 26 of the Regulations on vehicle passports and vehicle chassis passports in line 2 of the PTS “ Make, model of vehicle" indicates the symbol of the vehicle, consisting of an alphabetic, digital or mixed designation. The second digit of the digital designation of the vehicle model indicates its type (type of car), for example: “1” - passenger car, “7” - vans, “9” - special.

Thus, the category of a vehicle for tax purposes should be determined on the basis of information submitted by authorized bodies to the tax authorities based on the type of vehicle and its purpose (category) specified in the PTS on the basis of the Vehicle Type Approval.

GAZ 2752 is offered in several modifications. “Sobol-Business” is the latest generation of commercial vehicles, produced since 2010 at the Gorky Automobile Plant. In this version, specialists tried to eliminate certain shortcomings characteristic of earlier modifications. In the design of the GAZ 2752 van, the automaker used elements from well-known European brands: ZF, BOSCH, Anvis Group and Sachs. This made it possible to increase the reliability of the model. The latest modification of the Sobol has increased interior space and improved ergonomics. The car has ABS and power steering. GAZ 2752 is available in several versions. Among them are models running on gasoline, gas and diesel fuel.

The Gorky Automobile Plant produces not only GAZ 2752 cars, but also components for them. Parts are produced under careful control, which ensures high quality. Spare parts for the model are available in almost all stores, and replacing failed elements is extremely simple. The new GAZ 2752 is provided with warranty service for 80,000 km or 2 years.

Car device

"Sobol" is an all-metal van with five doors. The cabin is equipped with driver and passenger doors, the cargo-passenger compartment has sliding doors and rear hinged doors. Up to 10 seats can be installed in the cargo area; an additional handrail can be installed (the height of the roof allows you to stand at full height).

The front suspension is independent, spring, double wishbone, with gas-filled shock absorbers and anti-roll bar. The rear suspension is leaf spring with hydraulic shock absorbers.

The vehicle is equipped with service and parking brake systems. The service brake system is hydraulic, dual-circuit, with a vacuum booster and pressure regulator in the rear brake drive. The brake fluid level in the reservoir is controlled by a special sensor. If one of the circuits of the service brake system fails, the second circuit provides braking. The front wheel brakes are disc, the rear wheels are drum.

The electrical circuit is single-wire, the negative terminals are connected to the body and the main units. The circuit covers external and internal lighting devices, as well as a number of relays and sensors. Battery - 66-75 A/h.

The engine is a Cummins turbodiesel, installed since 2010. Previously (since 2003), a carburetor petrol ZMZ-4063 or diesel GAZ-560 was installed.

Despite the fact that the latest modifications of the Sobol are quite comfortable, car owners often try to further improve them. If the car is used for business passenger transportation, more comfortable chairs are installed in the passenger compartment, the layout is changed, and a table is installed. Fans of long trips will equip there with a spacious place for sleeping and storing things. For all-wheel drive models, tuning is often aimed at increasing cross-country ability and durability: installing power bumpers and sills, snorkels for dust protection, etc.

Specifications

The carrying capacity of the GAZ 2752 varies depending on the modification.
For the semi-passenger version it is 300 kg, for the van – 770-900 kg. The total vehicle weight is 2800 kg. This is an undeniable advantage, since it allows the car to have the right to enter the central regions of Moscow. Thanks to its compact size, the Sobol driver can maneuver on a narrow road and park in a limited area. The length of the machine is 4840 mm, the height at the top point is 2200 mm, the width is 2075 mm. The wheelbase of the vehicle is 2760 mm. GAZ 2752 has a track of 1700 mm. Due to the small loading height of 720 mm, unloading and loading of goods is as comfortable as possible.

"Sable" has a four-by-two wheel arrangement. The model is adapted to travel along the highway at a speed of 120 km/h.

Reproduction and offspring

Outside the active breeding season, the sable leads an exclusively territorial and solitary lifestyle. As a rule, the size of each individual territory of a mammalian predator varies between 150-2000 hectares. The owner of the site very actively protects the territory from encroachment by any strangers almost constantly, with the exception of breeding time. During this period, males fight with each other for the female, and very often such fights are extremely cruel and bloody.

The active breeding season is represented by two periods. In February or March, the period of the so-called false rut begins for predators, and the true one occurs in June or July. Pregnant females make nests for themselves and their brood in tree hollows or under massive roots of vegetation. An almost completely finished nest is lined quite generously with hay, moss or the hair of several eaten rodents. Sable pregnancy has a long latent stage of development, lasting nine to ten months.

This is interesting! Sables reach puberty at two to three years, and reproductive age in captivity lasts, as a rule, up to ten years.

The female selflessly protects all her cubs, so she can safely attack even dogs that are too close to a nest with a brood. The female quickly transfers the disturbed litter to another, safer nest.

As a rule, from three to seven blind puppies are born in one litter, no more than 11.0-11.5 cm long, weighing about 30 g. The puppies' ears open completely at about a month, and their eyes - at about a month or a little later. Babies begin to leave their nest at the age of one and a half months, and already in August, grown-up sables acquire complete independence and leave their mother.

Engine

The line of power units for the Sobol car includes several engines. The most popular modifications in Russia are equipped with a domestic gasoline unit UMZ-40524.

Characteristics of this motor:

• working volume – 2.8 l;
• rated power – 96 (128.8) kW (hp);
• rotation speed – 4500 rpm;
• maximum torque – 205 (4000) Nm (rpm);
• number of cylinders – 4.

Also, the GAZ 2752 is equipped with a foreign Chrisler-2.4L gasoline engine:

• working volume – 2.42 l;
• rated power - 98 (133.3) kW (hp);
• rotation speed – 5000 rpm;
• maximum torque – 204 (3994) Nm (rpm);
• number of cylinders – 4.

For these units, AI-92, AI-95 gasoline is used. The power system is a multi-point injection.

Some versions of the Sobol are equipped with a 2.8-liter Cummins diesel unit (120 horsepower). The main advantage of the engine is reliability (lifetime - over 500,000 km). Gas-powered versions are also available.

Device

One of the main advantages of the GAZ 2752 is the spacious driver's cabin, which can accommodate three people (driver and two passengers). The interior of this element is carefully thought out taking into account ergonomics. The instrument panel is easy to read and incorporates the latest design innovations.

The combined version, intended for service companies, has a 7-seater cabin and a reduced luggage compartment. This modification of the Sobol is used for transporting medium loads or equipment with a team of workers. All latest versions of the GAZ 2752 are equipped with a hydraulic booster system that makes driving easier. Thanks to this innovation, the turning radius of the machine was reduced to 6000 mm.

“Sobol” is equipped with a dual-circuit braking system with a hydraulic drive device and a vacuum booster system. Coupled with a powerful engine, this allows you to minimize fuel consumption.

GAZ 2752 has a standard transmission for products of this manufacturer - a 5-speed manual gearbox.

The Sobol owners are generally satisfied with the car. It is suitable as a workhorse.

Among the advantages, the owners highlight:

1. high-positioned seat from which everything is perfectly visible;
2. permeability;
3. excellent road feeling. At 80 km/h the car does not lose control;
4. huge capacity;
5. good visibility.

The main disadvantage of the car is that it is made in Russia. Also listed among the disadvantages are:

1. ill-conceived design of the steering rod. The number of “screw balls” has been increased, but this does not affect the movement. At a speed of over 100 km/h, the Sobol begins to “walk along the road”;
2. factory paint lasts for 3-5 years, after which the car begins to “bloom”;
3. lack of comfort in the cabin. In the heat, the driver experiences enormous stress.

The situation is aggravated by the fact that the muffler passes directly under the driver's seat, greatly heating the floor;

• large noise and vibration;
• lack of normal adjustment of seats and steering wheel.

Analogs

The main competitor of the GAZ 2752 in the automobile market is the Hyundai Porter H100.

Another one is the Sobol combi (GAZ 2752 combi). This entire series is in demand among large companies, utilities, entrepreneurs, and the population. This series is called . Very often this model is called GAZ 2752 Sobol combi. Combi is a combination of different options. This model has both gasoline and . You can choose either standard rear-wheel drive or . This car has several different combinations.

This is what a GAZ 2752 combi van looks like

Along with its brothers, this model has a lower load capacity, dimensions and a not so great variety of modifications. But compared to other models, due to its small tonnage, you can comfortably drive it even in the center of Moscow during the day.

According to Vladimir Leonidovich Chetverikov, the leading designer of the gazelle family of cars, the main advantage was the mass of the entire car. It had to be made less than 3.5 tons. The car had to be used not only by drivers with category “C”, but also by those who only had category “B”. When assembling the model, there were strict restrictions. There was a struggle to find a light and compact engine that was fully suitable for this development.

Rear view of van Gas 2752

Some people didn't like this idea, but the desired engine fit under the hood of this car. The GAZ 2752 model was developed by engineers. Production of the basic model with a sliding side door and rear swing doors began in 1998. In 2003, production of the second generation of this model began. The headlights, plumage, instrument panel, etc. were updated.

All this time, the Sobol brand truck was produced in small batches, but since 2006 it entered the assembly line for mass production. The car with external restyling from 2003 and modernization of units was called “Sobol-standard”.

This model is produced only in limited quantities for use by law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation. In 2010, another restyling of the model was carried out. His slogan was that the car, which is the basis of well-being, should become more modern and reliable.

Characteristics of the car Gas 2752 combi

In 2010, the first one came off the assembly line. Over the years, many changes have been made to Sobol. Currently, the GAZ 2752 Sobol has a respectable appearance, great demand, good maintainability, a modern interior and engine.

The history of the appearance of the airborne Sable

The assembly of cars of the Sobol family began in 1998 at the Nizhny Novgorod plant. The first such model was Sobol-2752, created entirely on the GAZelle basis and became a successful cargo modification. This was a new product for the domestic automobile industry, a good start for the future flagships Sobol 2310 and GAZelle 3302, the price of which is almost one hundred thousand higher than Sobol Business. But we’ll come back to prices; nevertheless, they are quite reasonable for domestic cars.

The Sobol family appeared in accordance with the requirements of the growing market in the late 90s. The demand for cars like GAZelle business 3302 has generated supply. Only an onboard version was also needed for transporting small consignments. Through the efforts of designers under the leadership of V. Chetverikov, this model was created. They say that during its development they took as a basis the Ford Transit and the all-metal UAZ-3727 van, which was never released. The GAZelle 3302 onboard modification with its semi-hood design is really similar to these body models. Although the frame here was taken from the GAZelle GAZ 33027, significantly shortening the side members and lowering the wheelbase by 130 mm.

The newly-made “Sable” already had all the vaccinations against “Gazelle” diseases, including boiling antifreeze. Despite this, the first restyling in 2003 came quite quickly. We had to redesign the cabin interior and dashboard, focusing on the comfort of the GAZ 3302 business class. The body also underwent reworking, becoming smoother: according to the fashion of that time, the optics acquired a teardrop shape. At that time, the existing price for the GAZ 3302 already seemed a little extreme, and drivers asked themselves: why not drive a slightly used “German” and save money?

But the management of the concern in 2010 clearly turned to itself all the old followers. It also motivated hundreds of new buyers to buy GAZ 3302. After all, the new Sobol-Business family could boast of a large package of useful upgrades. And the car could be ordered in various variations, from a van with an all-metal body to a flatbed. Various special equipment is built on the basis of GAZ 33023.

Modifications

The GAZ 2752 model has two main modifications:

• 3-seater;
• 7-seater.

There are several combinations of GAZ 2752 Sobol:

• diesel engine;
• Gas engine;
• four-wheel drive.

All presented modifications can be combined and ordered directly from the factory. The company is ready to assemble it to order. In modern models, the number of seats has increased. This gave the model new possibilities.

Salon Gas 2752 combi

The all-wheel drive model received its number in the “4x4” series. GAZ 27527 in its updated form has slightly improved its data:

• increased cross-country ability;
• a hydraulic booster appeared;
• dimensions decreased;
• maneuverability has improved.

These characteristics increased interest in the GAZ 27527 model.

Characteristics

All modifications, as noted earlier, can be combined with each other. Each modification differs in load capacity, volume and dimensions. Technical characteristics of GAZ 2752:

Model with 7 seats:

• carries up to 800 kg;
• body volume - 3.7 cubic meters;
• length x width x height - 4.8 x 2.03 x 2.3 m.

On each model you can install:

• UMZ gasoline engine - 106 hp;
• diesel engine, power - 120 hp (Cummins);
• 4x4 all-wheel drive allows this model to move in difficult road conditions.

GAZ 2752 and GAZ 27527 can be easily repaired with your own hands. The cheapness of spare parts allows you to purchase them at any auto parts store.

Territory of use

This model is very often in demand. Utilities accepted the GAZ 2752 Sobol for use due to the availability of 7 seats. The capacity of the number of employees and the ability to transport a sufficient amount of tools have proven themselves to be positive. Internal structures have been using this model for a very long time. Sable combi is a cargo-passenger model.

It can also be used as minibuses around the city. The side door on rails adds convenience to operation. Modern models have become taller, and cargo and passenger capacity has increased. Due to the increased ceilings, you can stand in it, which means that the cargo and passenger capacity has become even greater.

Sobol GAZ 2752 has an all-metal van. It allows you to transport large items and, due to this, has come into service with construction companies, finishing organizations and private entrepreneurs.

Classic van Sobol GAZ 2752

After the modification, the GAZ 27527 began to be used by organizations involved in collection. For this organization, the main quality is cross-country ability. GAZ 27527 easily copes with the assigned tasks.

Description of sable

Thanks to its beautiful, durable and quite expensive fur, sable received its second name - “king of wild furs” or “soft gold”. Scientists have identified about seventeen varieties of sables with different colors and coat quality, as well as sizes. The most valuable is the Barguzin species (Martes zibellina princers), often found in the east of the Baikal coastline.

This is interesting! In the natural environment, there is a white sable, which is a very rare representative of the Kunya family and lives in the impenetrable taiga.

Barguzin sable is distinguished by its deep black skin color, as well as soft and silky fur . The most light-colored subspecies with coarse and short fur are represented by:

• Sakhalin subspecies (Martes zibellina sahalinensis);
• Yenisei subspecies (Martes zibellina yenisejensis);
• Sayan subspecies (Martes zibellina sajanensis).

The Yakut sable (Martes zibellina jakutensis) and the Kamchatka subspecies (Martes zibellina kamtshadalica) have no less valuable fur.

Appearance

The maximum body length of an adult sable does not exceed 55-56 cm, with a tail length of up to 19-20 cm. The body weight of males varies between 0.88-1.8 kg, and females - no more than 0.70-1.56 kg.

The color of the sable skin is very variable, and all its variations are characterized by special names:

• “Head” is the darkest, almost black color;
• “Fur” is an interesting color, very light, sandy yellow or fawn shades.

This is interesting! It should be noted that male sables are noticeably larger than females, by approximately one tenth of the total body weight.

Among other things, there are several intermediate colors, including “collar”, which very successfully combines brown tones with the presence of a dark belt in the back, as well as lighter sides and a large, bright throat spot. A predator with a wedge-shaped and pointed muzzle, has triangular-shaped ears, as well as small paws. The tail is short and covered with fluffy, soft fur. In winter, the fur covers the paw pads and claws. The animal sheds once during the year.

Sable lifestyle

A characteristic and fairly common inhabitant of the entire Siberian taiga, it is a very dexterous and incredibly strong predator for its not very significant size. The sable is accustomed to a terrestrial lifestyle. As a rule, the predatory mammal chooses the upper reaches of mountain rivers, fairly abundant thickets, and stone placers for its habitat. Occasionally, the animal is able to climb into tree crowns. The predator moves with the help of characteristic jumps, the average length of which is approximately 0.3-0.7 m. Very quickly wet fur does not allow the sable to swim.

The sable is capable of leaving fairly large and paired tracks, and their prints range in size from 5×7 cm to 6×10 cm. The wild animal is very good at climbing trees of different heights and shapes, and is also distinguished by excellently developed hearing and sense of smell. However, the vision of such a mammal is quite weak, and the vocal performance is also not up to par and in its parameters resembles a cat’s meow. The sable is able to easily move even on loose snow cover. The animal's greatest activity is observed in the morning hours, as well as with the onset of evening.

This is interesting! If a sable's hole or nest is located on the ground, then with the onset of winter, the animal digs a special long tunnel in the snow for entry and exit.

For the main rest, the sable uses a nest, which is set up in various voids: under a fallen tree, in a low tree hollow or under large stones. The bottom of such a space is lined with wood dust, hay, feathers and moss. In bad weather, the sable does not leave its nest, inside of which the temperature remains stable at 15-23°C. A latrine is set up near the nest hole. Every two to three years the old nest is replaced with a new one.

Lifespan

In captivity, sables are kept on average for up to fifteen years . In nature, such a predatory mammal can live for about seven to eight years, which is due to many negative external factors, the lack of prevention of the most common fatal diseases, as well as the risk of encountering many predators.

Maintainability and analogues

Some users talk about shortcomings of this model. The most unpleasant minus is the noise. It comes from different angles. The devices that make the most noise are:

• transmission lever cover;
• cabin steps;
• top of dashboard;
• motor shield near the holes for the pedals;
• steering shaft

All these places are covered with sound insulation, which helps reduce the noise level in the cabin. The van itself should also be covered with sound insulation. In winter, the cabin gets cold, and this is another drawback. Basically, eliminating it requires patience and a little time. It is necessary to disassemble the instrument panel completely and insulate it first.

Car interior design GAZ 2752

The van will also be blown out, so you need to plan in advance to replace the seals on all doors. Subsequently, you need to take a closer look at the corners, from which it is blowing and how strongly. and Sobol are different models. There is no need to compare them under any circumstances. All main running gears of the Sobol differ from conventional Gazelles. Not every master will use 2752 Sable combi. Some users are more lucky, some less so. For 150 thousand km, according to reviews from car owners, it is necessary to replace and lubricate the following parts:

According to car owners, this is still a small list of what can break. Easy maintenance and readily available spare parts. All this has led to the growing popularity of Sable combi. Sable combi is a popular model, but requires serious improvements in the quality of the units used.

In contrast to the Sobol GAZ 2752 model, foreign manufacturers produce their own low-tonnage models. Ford:

• Transit;
• Transit Van.

Sales market: Russia.

GAZ-2752 is the base model of the entire Sobol family, created on the basis of the popular GAZelle. The car has been produced since 1998; the first restyling took place in 2003. In 2010 - another modernization with numerous changes similar to the GAZelle-Business family. The main commercial version of the Sobol is a van with a sliding side door and hinged rear doors. There is also a seven-seat cargo-passenger version with a two-row cabin - a “combi” version. In this case, the large side door serves to board the rear passengers. The engine range includes gasoline and diesel engines with a displacement of 2.7 liters, 2.8 liters and 2.9 liters, with a power of 107-120 hp. GAZ-2752 models are produced not only in rear-wheel drive, but also with a 4x4 wheel arrangement.

The simplest version of the GAZ-2752 is an all-metal van, in which a blank partition is installed between the three-seater cabin and the cargo compartment. Accordingly, the Combi version features a load compartment partition moved back to make room for a passenger compartment with four-abreast seating and a decent amount of legroom. Standard equipment includes halogen headlights, electrically heated side mirrors with built-in repeaters, a tachometer in the dashboard and an on-board computer, vertical steering wheel adjustment, the ventilation system is supplemented with a filter, there is audio preparation with two speakers, the “Combi” version has a ventilation hatch on the roof of the passenger compartment The list of options includes air conditioning and electrical accessories, a CD player with control buttons on the steering wheel, and a locking differential.

Since 2010, the Sobol family has been equipped with the following engines. The petrol injection "UMZ-A274 Evotech" with a working volume of 2.7 liters (2690 cc) produces a maximum power of 107 hp. (at 4000 rpm) and torque 221 Nm (at 2350±150 rpm). The car was also equipped with a UMZ-4216.10 engine with a volume of 2.9 liters (2890 cc) with the same performance indicators. Diesel modifications of the Sobol are equipped with a Cummins ISF 2.8L unit with turbocharging and charge air cooler - maximum power 120 hp. (at 3600 rpm), torque 270 Nm in the range of 1400-3000 rpm. All engines are equipped with a mechanical 5-speed gearbox with a hydraulic control drive. All-wheel drive is available for everyone (such cars have the last digit 7 in the modification index).

The Sobol GAZ-2752 is built on the Gazelle chassis, but has a number of differences. This is a wheelbase shortened by 140 mm (up to 2670 mm), an independent front spring suspension on double wishbones, a single-pitch rear axle tire (the GAZelle has a double-pitch tire) and lightweight springs taking into account the reduced load capacity - for the GAZ-2752 it is 635-910 kg, depending from modification. The minimum turning radius is 5.5-6 m. The useful volume of the cargo compartment in the standard version of the van is 6.86 cubic meters, and in the Combi version - 3.7 cubic meters. Ground clearance is 150 mm for rear-wheel drive vehicles and 205 mm for 4x4 vehicles. All-wheel drive modifications are equipped with a locking center differential and a 2-speed transfer case (high gear 1.07; low gear 1.86). Drive system - Part-time.

The Sobol in its basic configuration cannot boast of a particular wealth of security systems on board. The interior panels and steering wheel have a safety design, all seats of the GAZ-2752 model are equipped with seat belts, and for an additional fee the car could be equipped with an anti-lock braking system, an auxiliary braking system, and cruise control.

In its class, the Sobol is one of the most popular cars on the Russian market. The car has a simple and repairable design, there are no problems with the availability of spare parts, and there are all-wheel drive modifications. When compared with the Gazelle, the main advantages of the Sobol are maneuverability and compactness. The build quality of the modernized model has improved somewhat compared to previous years, but owners still often complain about the low service life of individual components - the car requires constant attention.

GAZ-2752 belongs to the Sobol class. This machine is distinguished by its simplicity of design and reliability. “Sables” have many useful qualities that are so in demand and useful for small businesses and other commercial purposes.

All-metal van Sobol Business

Someone calls the GAZ 2752 a smaller copy of the GAZelle 3302, for a number of reasons. The truck really resembles its “big brother” in appearance, but is made in a more compact form. A smaller wheelbase gives the car more freedom in urban environments: the driver has the right to enter all areas and turn around even in limited spaces. Find out more about the successful sides of Sable 2752!

Minimum movement, maximum maneuverability

The relatively small size brings advantages to the van in urban environments and also affects the dynamics and smoothness of driving at speeds of 80 km/h. The independent front suspension plays a role here, making the GAZ 2752 Sobol similar to passenger sedans. The driver also appreciates the ease of parking in tight spaces, which is ensured by the van's overall length of 4180 mm.

Optimally low-cost in maintenance

Where whimsical “Europeans” ask for a lot, it is economically profitable to buy a Sable 2752. Service, maintenance and the purchase of Russian-made spare parts simplify the operation of the vehicle and create favorable conditions for the development of a logistics network. The design of the all-metal van itself is simple and adapted to rough driving conditions. Fuel consumption here is less than that of the GAZelle - approximately 10.9 liters when driving at a speed of 80 km/h for a gasoline engine and 9.2 liters for a diesel engine. The price of Sable 2752 will quickly pay for itself with the profits from working on this car!

New level of component quality

More and more contracts for the supply of innovative equipment are being signed by GAZ executives; the purpose of these contracts is to increase the level of comfort and reliability of the cars produced. For example, the GAZ GAZelle 2705 uses EMZ and UMZ engines; in the Sobol BUSINESS model, in addition to the gasoline “four,” there is also a diesel engine from Cummins. Other brands whose components are found on Sobol vans include Anvis Group, Bosch, Brisk, Sachs, ZF and others.

About the engine and its capabilities

For the “all-metal van” modification, the plant usually installs an Evotech A274 gasoline engine, 4-stroke with direct injection. In terms of environmental class, it belongs to Euro-94, like the engines for GAZelle 2705. Four cylinders are arranged in a row, creating a total power of 106.8 hp. or 78.5 kW (at 4000 rpm). The manufacturer guarantees a motor resource of 500,000 km. The engine is controlled through a transmission with a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Load capacity and cab functions

When comparing before buying a GAZ 2705 and a GAZ 2752 Sobol, you can start from the total load capacity. For the latter, it is less than 1t, or rather 900kg, which “opens the doors” to the van even in areas with limited entry. The loading height is 700 mm, which is only 25 mm lower than that of the GAZ 27057. The useful volume of the cargo compartment is more than 6 cubic meters, with a height of more than 1.5 m, if we consider the basic single-row version. It has 3 seats for the driver and passengers. Upon request, the van is supplied in a cargo-passenger version with a 6+1 seating plan, copying the GAZelle 2705 layout. Here, however, the useful volume for loading is halved, but there is the possibility of boarding for the crew - for some this is more profitable, right?

Advantages of purchasing a GAZ-2752 van

• Compact size and good maneuverability in urban environments
• It is possible to order a two-row cabin for transporting passengers and cargo at the same time;
• Low fuel consumption and economical repairs;
• The new models have improved suspension, steering, as well as the shape of the seats and the number of driver assistance devices.

Of course, this vehicle is optimal for small quantities of goods and transportation in urban areas. If you need more space for the cargo compartment, you can consider another option - GAZelle 27057. This van has a load capacity of 1350 kg, also classified as a light-duty van. It is offered with both petrol and diesel engines, as well as with a 4X4 wheel arrangement. You can buy a GAZelle 2705 and find out prices for current modifications on the same website, from an official GAZ dealer in Moscow.

The Sable family, basic information

“Sobol” are Russian-made vehicles belonging to the class of light-duty cargo transportation vehicles. On the basis of the Sobol family, trucks and vans (GAZ-2752), passenger buses (GAZ-2217) are produced. This family of vehicles also includes a flatbed truck for longer transportation (GAZ-2310). At the Gorky Automobile Plant, production of the GAZ-2752 began back in 1998.

The use of Sobols has no limits: they are used in the delivery sector, small businesses, transporting people, and even for law enforcement agencies.

The main model of this series is considered to be the GAZ-2752, which, in addition to rear hinged doors, also has a side (right) sliding door.

Natural enemies

Not a single bird or animal of prey hunts sable solely for its own food. However, the mammal has a couple of food competitors, which are represented by the stoat and the weasel. They, along with sables, eat all kinds of mouse-like rodents, and are also capable of engaging in fights for prey.

The main risk group among sables are the youngest individuals, as well as very old animals that have lost speed when moving. A weakened mammal may well become a victim of almost any large predator. Young sables are quite often exterminated by eagles and hawks, as well as owls and other large birds of prey.

Advantages of Sobol

The Sobol GAZ-2752 van has many useful advantages that are so in demand for small businesses. Smaller dimensions than the GAZelle make this car less bulky, allow it to be placed in any garage, and also save fuel.

A large family is not a problem. The body has seven seats, and the ceiling height does not interfere with walking even at full height. For short trips with a light load on your shoulders, the ride is just perfect. Any household problems are resolved quickly. The low loading height allows you to carry even the heaviest items into the luggage compartment.

Why drivers love Sobol

Every car has something that is highly valued by drivers. The most important advantage of Sobol is its reliability, high repairability and simplicity. It is these three qualities that should be present in a real light-duty car. A large car should not break down often so as not to let the owner down. If this suddenly happens, then much of the Sobol GAZ-2752 equipment can be repaired yourself, without turning to the technical service for help. Many parts installed on this machine are simply similar to GAZelle parts, which greatly simplifies the search and purchase of spare parts.

GAZ-2752 technical characteristics

The classic Sobol has only two driving wheels, while its modifications (for example, GAZ-27527) have each wheel controlled by what is called all-wheel drive. In the Sobol family of cars, the total number of seats can range from 3 to 7, but this is not such a major indicator.

GAZ feels great in urban conditions. Its maneuverability allows it to turn around even in small streets. The minimum turning radius of the GAZ-2752 does not exceed 5.5 meters, which is a good result for a light-duty truck.

For greater convenience, the car, in addition to the standard rear hinged doors, also has a right sliding door, which greatly simplifies the loading and unloading of goods.

GAZ is equipped with a five-speed manual transmission, which significantly reduces the price of the product.

The Sobol is equipped with a factory power steering, which in theory makes driving the car much more pleasant and convenient. But it is precisely this part of the steering mechanism that is the main scourge of all drivers. According to reviews from car owners, this same hydraulic booster is the most vulnerable link in the entire car. This device leaks constantly. Because of this, you need to contact the experts.

Population and species status

In the nineteenth century, sables lived en masse in territories from the Pacific Ocean to Scandinavia, but today such fur-bearing animals are almost never found in European countries. Due to overly intensive fishing in the last century, the total number and range of sables have decreased significantly. The result of predatory extermination was the status of “on the verge of extinction .

In order to preserve the number of wild fur-bearing animals, special conservation measures were taken, including the breeding of sables in nature reserves and resettlement in ancestral territories. Today, the state of the sable population in many territories of our country, including the Troitsko-Pechora region, does not raise serious concerns. In 1970, the population numbered about 200 thousand individuals, so the sable was included in the International Red List (IUCN).

This is interesting! Over the past fifty years, sables have successfully populated an eighty-kilometer strip of dark coniferous forest zones lying next to the Ural Range, and the predator is hunted in sufficient quantities without economic government support.

However, in order to effectively optimize the production of sables, it was decided to persistently reorient hunters towards self-catching of the mass species of wild fur. Also very important is the need to regulate production during the season when there is no migration of a valuable game animal, which will allow preserving sables in hunting areas.

Engines for GAZ-2752

The Sobol is equipped with both diesel and gasoline engines. They differ in power, environmental standards and fuel consumption. The most common engine on the GAZ-2752 Sobol is the ZMZ-405. The old and proven gasoline engine never fails, even in 30-degree frost it starts without obvious problems. The environmental standard of the engine is either 0 or 2. Fuel consumption on the ZMZ-405 does not exceed 10-12 liters per 100 kilometers.

An excellent light-duty truck, reliable, spacious - and that’s all GAZ-2752. Its technical characteristics make it one of the best and most sought after vehicles for commercial purposes. GAZ-2752 has a price that matches its quality. It is these factors that are expanding the demand for the Sobol car. For example, a 2020 GAZ-2752 can be purchased from 670,000 rubles, and a used car, depending on the mileage, year and condition, can be purchased for 20,000 rubles. purchase. And the car will become your reliable assistant for years to come.

How is Sobol similar to Gazelle?

The GAZ 2310 Sobol car is considered to be the original development of Gorky engineers. But still, the obvious cannot be denied: it is very similar to the GAZelle. And although it belongs to a different class (the carrying capacity here is less than one ton), there is plenty in common:

• The cabin interface is exactly like that of the GAZ GAZelle 3302;
• The cars are equipped with an engine from the Yaroslavl Machine-Building Plant;
• The headlights and glass are also of a similar shape;
• GAZ GAZelle 33023, also known as “Farmer”, gives the Sobol models its own gearbox and clutch.

There is some truth in the fact that the new “sables” actually copy the habits and appearance of the GAZ 33023 “Farmer”. Still, there are many differences: new side members are installed on the frame. The suspension has become pinless, has ball joints and two levers, and there are different springs at the rear of the suspension. The brakes here are also different, and the diameter of the front discs on the Sobol is 15 mm larger than, say, on the GAZ 330273. The van itself is 660 mm shorter than the GAZelle van. You can get inside the rear seats of the GAZ 2310 by sliding the side door (though this is about minibuses, not flatbed trucks). Finally, there are studs on the wheels: the Sobol has five of them instead of six.

Are you still inclined to buy a GAZ 330202 or opt for the Sobol onboard? Compare the load capacity: it is less for the second car - the description says so, up to 1 ton, while model 330202 has a load capacity of 1.5 tons.
