Kia venga
The first time a Korean micro-van appeared in public in Frankfurt in 2009, European sales began a little later, but “Wenga”, which in Spanish means “Come on!”, Arrived in Russia only in the spring of 2011. The car shares the platform with models such as the Soul supermini and i20. Stylish appearance and surprisingly spacious, ergonomic interior with a large and comfortable trunk - the main advantages of the “Kia”. Among the shortcomings can be noted in some places the budget interior decoration, the outdated 4-speed "automatic" and the biting price.
+ Comfortable lounge with wide transformation capabilities; roomy trunk; economical and powerful 1.6 liter engine

Mazda 5
A new generation compact engine based on the Mazda-3 surprised visitors to the 2010 Geneva Motor Show with its striking appearance, electric sliding rear doors and an ingenious transformation system for the Karakuri interior. The interior is now exclusively 7-seater, the box is only automatic (and modern, 6-speed), and the only 2 liter engine, familiar from the "three rubles" and "six", is quite enough even at maximum load. Perhaps, only a high starting price of one million rubles can alienate buyers who need a comfortable car for traveling with the whole family.
+ Excellent handling; high-quality salon with wide possibilities of transformation

With the previous width, the car grew almost 10 cm in length, but lost 5 and 8 cm in height and base, respectively. Interior materials can now be considered almost perfect, and other business-class cars can envy the abundance of technically advanced “gadgets”. But most importantly, the price of the new product is lower than that of its predecessor, which did not fail to affect sales - today the B-class finds an average of 250 buyers a month (almost twice as much as before).

NOTE 009
“Nout” was created on the increased base of “Mikra”, although it was hard to believe this at the first acquaintance. The fact is that the baby has more than a spacious interior. The machine is equipped with a very comfortable sofa that can be moved in the longitudinal direction by 160 mm, increasing the luggage compartment to 437 liters. There are two engines to choose from, and an “automatic” is only possible with a 1.6 liter engine.

Opel Zafira Tourer
The compact engine, built on the latest-generation Astra platform, did not abolish the successful Zafira, but supplemented it: now both models are released in parallel. In addition, the novelty preaches a slightly different philosophy, where comfort and driving pleasure are at the forefront. And the Germans didn’t disagree with the deed: to instill exemplary habits in the enlarged van, the track was increased by 96 mm in front and 78 mm in the rear, and the front suspension was borrowed from Insignia.

EX 15
European sales of the second generation of micro-van based on Korsa started in 2010, while our dealers started accepting orders a year later, right after the assembly began at the Avtotor Kaliningrad plant. The highlight of the car is the rear doors that open against the movement. This solution can greatly facilitate access to the sofa. At the end of last year, a more affordable modification finally appeared with an automatic transmission and a gasoline 120 strong turbo-four, but diesel versions are no longer being brought to us due to the extremely low demand.

Peugeot 3008
The spacious and comfortable front-wheel drive compact van based on the 308 model with an increased clearance of 15 mm is distinguished by its amazing ability to write turns. The secret lies in the cunning rear shock absorbers connected into a single hydraulic system: on the direct suspension it works in soft mode, and in bends it becomes elastic, allowing you to effectively fight against banks. In addition, the 1.6T version with manual gearbox has a special ESP mode of operation, which increases the capabilities of the machine when exiting from asphalt.

The machine attracts attention not only with its memorable design with “hidden” front roof pillars and intricate optics, but also with a very comfortable interior with truly huge transformation capabilities.

“Verso”, having just passed through a thorough restyling, immediately replaced two Toyota models: the Corolla-Verso, well-known in Russia, and Avensis-Verso, which were not sold on our market. Having slightly increased in size, this compact van retained the recognizable appearance of the Corolla Verso and became a bit more spacious. But the main news is the appearance of a 1.8 liter gasoline engine, paired with a continuously variable variator.
