ZX Grand Tiger Reviews

Today everything is fine, everything works, the driving characteristics are quite suitable for our roads, but the rear is still stiff, but I usually load, rarely empty. I put 235 \ 65 \ 16 on the “blinds”, on ice 120 how hello. I mostly move along the highway, but it happened a couple of times I went around ditches, without problems, it overcomes the rise of 43 degrees, but it’s long for off-road, but it behaves well on off-road on 31 wheels. On the rear-wheel drive on the highway eats 10-12 liters at a speed of 120. Not much! Blind headlights but Biksenon decided everything. The electronic handout is a little finicky, but you don’t have to get into the mud. I’m happy so far! I hope he doesn’t let me down.

I bought it 3 years ago in March. There were no problems for two years, I changed the oil for MOT. As soon as the warranty ended, problems started, first the stove radiator leaked, two weeks later the module burned out, immediately after that the front axle jammed. I fixed all the problems. through half a year, the oil seal of the rear axle shank was knocked out. And now the car has glitched and won’t start anymore!

I decided to share my opinion about this cart, which is so rare on our roads. Why rarely? Because ZX was delivered to Russia for only two years: in 2007 and 2008. And then, as I heard, they were forced out by evil competitors in the person of Great Wall. How did I get this car? Very simple. A year and a half ago, I started building a house in a village that could only be reached by a dirt road, mainly in summer and winter. In spring and autumn it was possible to drive along it, but very carefully. And I began to choose a pickup truck for myself (to carry materials and drive through this primer). Well, the choice in this category, frankly, is small. Especially taking into account the fact that, in principle, I did not consider it possible for myself to spend on the car the amount that they ask for the latest L-200 and BT-50 (from 700 tyr), not to mention Navarra and Highlax. So the choice immediately narrowed down: the old L-200 (very rare, ancient and half-dead), UAZ pickup and Great Wall pickups (Dir, Sailor, Wingle, etc.). I immediately didn’t have a very good attitude towards UAZ (in terms of reliability – a lot of different negative information, and in terms of handling – a test drive on the Patriot after the Skoda Octavia Tour 1.8 turbo, which I had before, led me to complete discouragement ). Great Wall pickups with their 105-110 hp engines. seemed to me perfect vegetables, and the reviews about their reliability were not entirely flattering. And then this little-known model came into my field of vision – the ZX Grand Tiger. Outwardly, I immediately liked it. Started gathering information. It turned out that this
Chinese hybrid of the same old L-200 and the same old Highlax. 2.4 liter Mitsubishi engine, 128 hp (Already not bad), plug-in all-wheel drive with ponizhaykoy. I did not find any crime in the few reviews about this car. And then a good option appeared on Automotive News: 2007, 67 thousand mileage, four-wheel drive, with kung. The seller stated that he was professionally engaged in the repair and maintenance of these machines, that he always had any spare parts for it, and that the machine was in perfect condition. And he asked for her 400 sput. Well, I think it’s okay, I’ll go and see. Looked. Indeed, the car made a good impression. Live even prettier than in the photo. Looks well-groomed. It’s going well. Nothing rattles, does not creak, the engine runs smoothly, the gears switch very easily and clearly (I have something to compare with, my ex Oktasha was just lovely in this regard), the clutch is light. Four-wheel drive is connected by a wheel next to the gearshift knob. Well, what else about the car itself. Sitting – comfortable (I have a height of 184), spacious. The only thing, the right knee, sometimes rests on the torpedo, which sometimes strains. But in general, I have met very few cars where this would not have been a problem for me. Electric drive of all windows and mirrors. Visibility is very good, the side mirrors are huge, there are no dead zones at all. But in the salon mirror you can only admire yourself and the rear passengers, because. the rear window of the kung is almost always impenetrably dirty. I have never had any problems with parking backwards, although I drive
without parking sensors (I would install them, but the rear bumper is iron, and the installers don’t want to mess with it, they say, the sensors must be installed in plastic bushings in it so that there is no interference). The steering column is tilt adjustable. Air conditioning. Works fine. In general, heating and ventilation of the cabin – four plus, but tolerable. True, there is one feature that I found out by chance on one forum, after almost six months of owning a car. She has a button for controlling air circulation (it drives the salon in a circle or takes fresh from the street). So, this button has a normally depressed position – this is the passage of cabin air! And in order to launch a fresh one, you need to press it. It’s possible to freak out! For all normal machines, as far as I know, this button works exactly the opposite! Well, nothing, now I have this button constantly pressed, and there are no problems with ventilation. On a trip up to a thousand kilometers – the back does not get tired. In the back row, of course, it will be stressful for more than one passenger to pass this thousand. But it’s a pickup, don’t forget! They all have such a feature that the rear passengers have it worse than the cargo. )))) Regular music – two-din CD radio. It is pulled out elementarily (the frame is removed from the torpedo) and thrown away. In its place, as a native, I got the same two-din JVC with a USB port (I stuck a 16 gig micro-flash drive into it and didn’t know grief anymore). Dynamics – acceptable. It goes confidently in city traffic, leaves the traffic light on a par with small cars such as VAZs and
similar. Constant driving in rear wheel drive, combined with weight, of course, affects handling. Therefore, the speed and distance should be controlled especially carefully. It is strongly not recommended to drive on asphalt on all-wheel drive. Although this winter, with its heaps of snow, it used to turn it on when there was a complete ambush on the road, and it drove normally like that, it didn’t skid, it didn’t skid. But in general, of course, this is not a jeep. Four-wheel drive, mostly symbolic. Even after I installed the Cooper Discoverer AT3 instead of the standard Chinese rubber. Maybe, of course, it was necessary to put MTT right away. ))) But all the same, after sowing a couple of times in fairly harmless areas, I began to choose routes with more caution. But, I repeat, this is a PICKUP, not a jeep! But it can carry a lot of things that, apart from it, only Porter or Gazelle will transport. I loaded the maximum somewhere under 900 kg (full body of fuel briquettes). The springs noticeably arched, but nothing, drove, did not fall apart. ))). I have nothing bad to say about reliability. In a year and a half, I dashed off from 67 thousand to 103. During this time, the biggest malfunction was the replacement of the clutch assembly with the bearing and flywheel. It cost 18 tyr. with parts and labor. But I finished off the clutch myself when I revved hard without habit, sitting in the mud. The front suspension also changed (both shock absorbers and ball bearings were killed on a broken concrete road, which leads to my village house), the universal joint, the all-wheel drive sensor, the central lock activator. On this –
all. I want to note that the car has never failed on the road. It always started no more than from the second or third turn of the starter, even in the most severe frosts. I put on her HBO Lovato 4th generation. Works like clockwork. Eats 13 liters of gas per hundred on average. It doesn’t affect dynamics at all. Adds a pleasant "diesel" touch to the engine at low speeds. That’s like everything. I apologize for the many bukuff. Profession costs. ))) The summary is this: who needs an inexpensive, fairly reliable and not quite a vegetable pickup – pay attention to this model. Yes, with spare parts, contrary to expectations, there are no problems. There are many analogues from other Chinese models and from Mitsu. All correspondences are given on the Chinamobil.ru forum. Now that’s it.

Good day. Maybe my review is no longer useful to anyone, but still I will write. And so, I bought this miracle of the Chinese people at the beginning of 2012 with a mileage of 100t.km. from a family of fully driven cars, he owned only a UAZ, Chevrolet Niva and Niva (terrible puzoterka). Sat, went. Joy after the above cars, there was no limit)), nothing rattles, nothing knocks, the steering wheel turns with the little finger, the air conditioner blows in the face (which makes the smile even wider). I walked along the highway at 130-140 km / h, thus I got to my city. On the highway, the car behaves quite confidently for a pickup truck, with the exception of rolls in corners, but this is not a sport car either. Then the turn came to fishing and, accordingly, to off-road tests , and in particular along the logging road (direction). Having arrived at the exit into the forest, I turned on the front axle and poper. Banging with my stupidity on all possible parts of my new "monster", I reached the place where the water, mixed with slurry, began to become threatening, I stopped and went for firewood. We loaded my pickup truck almost to the very top (kunga) raw birch. Well, I think that your death has come, the UAZ is not Russian)) turned on the downshift and. lo and behold, it went, so confidently that I thought that only the eggs were cooler than me)). the gear ratio is correctly selected). The hubs at the time of purchase had already been converted to manual ones, because the automatic
nih.For all the time of operation there were no serious breakdowns. I changed the bushings on the springs, the clutch, the faucet on the stove, the timing belt (main), stabilizing and rollers. It is better to take spare parts not from "hucksters" but on specialized sites (which I will not write, so that they would not be mistaken for an advertiser) there many times cheaper. And in general, spare parts for it are cheaper than for Priora. Many will say, well, the collective farmer has reached the bucket and is not overjoyed. I don’t agree: firstly, my town, although not big (200 thousand population), is far from a collective farm and not a village, trolleybuses run))) But seriously, I had cars from Chevrolet Lacetti, Ford Focus 2, Opel aster, Hyundai Tussan (underdrive) and a bunch of Russian vacuum cleaners)), so what kind of experience do we have. new mitsubishi sport)) And in conclusion, I want to say that if you are not going to participate in the Paris-Dakar rally or kill yourself from a traffic light with Infiniti, then this car has the right to be considered as an option for purchase, though it’s a pity there are no new ones https://cars45.com/listing/mercedes-benz/e280 anymore.
