The Gazelle was painfully conceived in the eighties, slowly created in the nineties, but then quickly became the plant’s bestseller, taking this title from the legendary Volga. In fact, these commercial machines saved the entire enterprise, ensuring its future. And for thirty years now they have been “removing” small cargo turnover throughout the country. Like previous versions, the new generation of Gazelle has all-wheel drive. This is noticeable with the naked eye: the ground clearance under the rear axle housing of the Gazelle NN 4×4 is 22 cm, under the sidewalls of the body it is more than 40 cm. And under the 149-horsepower G2.5 diesel engine, powerful steel protection 3 mm thick is visible.
The most important unit of the new product is located behind the gearbox: it is a separate transfer case in an aluminum casing, connected by a short intermediate shaft. It clearly shows the electronic actuators for switching modes using a puck from the interior. There is a rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive mode, a low gear, and next to it is a rear differential lock button. In the passenger compartment of the first exhibition car that we were able to get acquainted with, the back rows of seats turn into a bed.

And here is a test of the updated Jetta VS5 and VS7. We recently became acquainted with Chinese crossovers built on Volkswagen units. True, you will have to come to terms with the fact that that same “European school” is hidden from view under the body.
And here we estimated the chances of the new Wey brand to compete with Li Auto models. The popular “Lisyans” are good for everyone, but they don’t have a normal warranty, and they drive slowly along the highway. Maybe Wey 07 and Wey 80 will improve the situation? /m
