The first generation was considered a rookie debutant in the segment of inexpensive sedans, the second generation turned him into an experienced master. Now it is the starting point for all "recruits" who have not yet had time to smell gunpowder. And the manufacturers of Chevrolet Cobalt, who released this model, as a direct competitor to Logan, should have understood this. Let's disassemble both cars to the bone and find out if Cobalt is worthy of Logan?
Renault Logan of the first generation immediately went to the masses
The fact that everything changes over time - and the budgets of buyers, and the concept of a "real" good car - is not news. I recall that a few years ago they said that the idea of French automakers regarding Renault Dacia / Logan would cost good money. They were counting on the amount of 5 thousand US dollars and did not aim for more. Indeed, at first the project was implemented and the first Logan went to the masses, only now the price confidently stepped over not 5, but 10 thousand mark. Today the dollar is not the same as it used to be, but Logan is still holding on and has few competitors.
It is interesting that the Renault Logan manufacturers set themselves the goal of not being easy to compete with A-class cars, but to compete with a higher class. And the designers are striving, which is remarkable, by any means to create a good spaciousness of the cabin and make the size of the trunk incredibly voluminous. This rearmost compartment is larger than many golf cars and even rivals the luggage racks of some D-class sedans.
Known several years ago, it also became interested in the release of similar budget models that would always keep the price. Citroen C-Elysee and 301st, and last year and Chevrolet, decided to play by the same rules and released into the arena a direct competitor - Chevrolet Cobalt. This car is the development of one of the subsidiaries of General Motors, which was originally aimed at the countries of the so-called third world. It was decided to start production of Chevrolet Cobalt, respectively, in one of the Central Asian republics.
What are the differences
Let's start with the design, which would seem to be the most thankless task, but what can you do. It was the exterior surfaces of the Chevrolet Cobalt body that made us do it. They seem to be ironed, if not by amateurs, then by novice designers, but Logan's appearance cannot be said for sure. It immediately shows that this is a second-generation car; neither money nor effort was spared to improve its exterior.
The interior of both cars has almost the same feeling. Logan, for whom sophisticated solutions and expensive materials were limited (why be surprised, this is a state employee ?!), should not have, but is perceived much more pleasant and logical than Cobalt. It is impossible not to note the peculiarities of the layout of the Chevrolet Cobalt's cabin, where, in order to ensure maximum roominess, they emphasized the vertical position of the landing and placed the front seats clearly high. It turns out that with an average build, even at the lowest position of the seat, it will still sit high, like on a chair. If the driver's height is above average, then it is dangerous to get into this car, since you will definitely rest your head on the ceiling. It seems that in this situation, you expect excellent visibility, but alas, to make this happen, you need to at least halve the front pillars of the body.
Logan Advantage
It is explicit. Better with Logan with vertical seat adjustment, which is not formal, like its competitor. In addition, the range of the settings themselves is wide, and the driver's, even despite the shorter cushion in length. As for ergonomics, Logan could only be scolded for minor flaws, such as the LED air conditioner button, rear power window buttons, and so on.
In both vehicles, there is sufficient clearance in front of the knees of the rear passengers. As much as 10 cm of clearance is enough to comfortably travel the longest distances.
In general, both in height and in length, Logan represents more space. But the width is more spacious in Cobalt, which is clearly seen at shoulder level.
Riding
Nobody was going to judge strictly according to driving characteristics. The fact is that it is enough for such sedans to show acceptable control accuracy, predictability of reactions and excellent stability. The rest is not so important anymore.
But to thoroughly test the energy intensity of the suspension is another matter. And both sedans did not disappoint, showing good resistance to breakdowns on uneven roads. This parameter is very important on our Russian roads.
Still more comfortable driving on Logan. Cobalt shakes more often on small irregularities, and its body plays in unison with the longitudinal and transverse gradients of the road surfaces. All this negatively affects not only the passengers, but also the driver, who is constantly tense. the roads are not paved everywhere and Cobalt is already losing out to Logan in this regard, who copes much better with bad roads.
But you can't find fault with the suspensions of both sedans. They do not lead to buildup, even with alternating irregularities. In addition, with vigorous maneuvering, there is no feeling of roll, as on some cars. Both cars performed well in terms of motion sickness. Tested on children prone to motion sickness and it worked out without a hitch.
Dynamics and its nuances
Some, when conducting the test, called Cobalt more dynamic. But this is in the event that you are not lazy and spin the engine a little more, in a timely manner switching to low gears.
In the dynamics of acceleration, Logan is unambiguous. He accelerates with great desire and even from the very bottom (without showing any special dexterity, you can safely get under way at 2nd speed). Logan does not have any special requirements for choosing the right stage and is much more convenient than Cobalt. One could put it this way: Logan is just the perfect car, but it's a pity that it does not have an automatic transmission, like the expensive version of Cobalt.
Prices
And finally, the most important thing for our buyer, who only recently began to understand that it is not only the cost of the car that lies. So, the prices for the Cobalt version start at 483 thousand rubles. I am glad that the basic version of the car includes heated front seats and mirrors in the set of options, this is very important for our Russian winter. As for the speaker system, only the so-called "preparation" is provided, for which the owner must already select the head speakers separately. But the ABS, alloy wheels, "foglights", a computer, an alarm - all this comes only with expensive versions, already for 572 thousand rubles, which includes the long-awaited automatic transmission.
As far as Logan is concerned, this sedan has a decent choice of engines when it comes to engines. With a single 5 manual transmission, you can choose an option with 82 liters. with. or from 102 liters. with. The most affordable version with 82 hp. with. the engine is sold for 355 thousand rubles. It implies scarce options. The cost of Renault Logan with a 102 hp engine. with. starts at 428 thousand rubles, but here the set of options is much wider. There are ABS, power steering and much more. Although, interestingly, the air conditioner costs an additional payment of 25 thousand rubles. The most expensive Renault Logan equipment includes the necessary set of security and comfort systems, and in addition to everything, there is an opportunity for an additional payment of 14 thousand rubles to become the owner of Multimedia.

Renault Logan car test drive:
Now let's try to digest all the information listed above. What do we get? Cobalt has fewer options and has only one powertrain to choose from. But there is a choice of automatic transmission and manual transmission.
Logan has more options, despite the lack of an automatic transmission. This sedan also has a package selection system. All this a priori indicates that Renault Logan again showed a more friendly approach to the buyer than his opponent.
Conclusion
The experience of creating a car tailored for the budget market played a role. Chevrolet Cobalt in terms of consumer preferences is inferior to Logan. On the other hand, it is larger in size, and the configuration of the rear compartment itself is only praiseworthy. Cobalt has a powerful and omnivorous suspension, it is unpretentious and simple.
If Cobalt was a little cheaper than it is, then he managed to compete with Logan, and so, this is still an unripe fruit that still has to grow and grow. Logan can be reproached with, perhaps, archaic engines, the modernization of which the manufacturer was obliged to carry out, even in the absence of real competition in the class.
The results of our comparison test are as follows. The game, to be honest, initially went only with one goal, and Cobalt acted as a defender. Only in the nomination "Trunk" he was able to win, but otherwise completely lost to Logan. According to our experts, 69.5 points were given to the Chevrolet Cobalt, which, in addition to a good trunk, also showed good functionality, excellent noise insulation and comfortable steering.
Renault Logan gets 71.5 points. On almost all counts, he is a cut above his opponent, and this is not surprising, because, as mentioned above, the experience has done its job.
In preparation for the assembly of the motor, a strong desire arose to assemble a reliable engine. Because having suffered a lot with the previous carburetor, I didn't really want the engine to fail at the most crucial moment. In view of the fact that it is quite difficult to acquire high-quality domestic spare parts today, the idea arose to find analogues from foreign manufacturers. And I started looking for replacement parts from foreign manufacturers. The catalogs of VAZ factory parts, which can be easily found on the Internet, users of various Internet forums, as well as exist sites, helped a lot in this. Ru and motorzona.
Ru Of course, it was not possible to replace the entire range of parts, but still it is a big step forward.

In the current situation, you can expect good visibility, but it is hampered by the wide A-pillars.
A clear advantage The Logan has much better ergonomics: the vertical adjustment is not formal: the range is sufficient, and the seat itself is more comfortable.
In terms of ergonomics, Logan can only be scolded for minor flaws: the LED of the air conditioner button is on when it is turned off, and the rear power window buttons are located on the center console.
If a driver of average height sits back "behind him", then in both cars he will find a sufficient gap in front of the knees - 8-10 cm.
In height, as in the front row, the Logan provides more space, and in width at shoulder level, the Cobalt is 10 mm more spacious.
Discussing the driving properties of both "state employees", it makes no sense to lay out on the shelves the nuances of handling. If such a sedan provides acceptable steering precision, predictability of reactions and good stability, this is enough.
But on the smoothness and energy intensity of the suspension, one should dwell in more detail. In terms of resistance to breakdowns when driving through irregularities in the suspension of both rivals, they are worthy of high marks.
This is a really important factor for our roads, because the asphalt is not even everywhere. If we compare which one is more comfortable, then Logan wins a little.
On small irregularities, especially with sharp edges, Cobalt more often bothers riders with shaking, and also conveys in more detail to the body not only longitudinal, but also transverse differences in the road profile.
It should be noted that the treatment of alternating irregularities with the suspension does not lead to swinging, and with vigorous maneuvering, there is no feeling of roll. Both test participants checked ...
Chevrolet cobalt
For this car, the designers managed to provide good capacity and even, moreover, to make the rear of the cabin slightly wider than that of the competitor.
However, in the struggle for longitudinal capacity, costs were not avoided, and the driver's seat was positioned high even at the lowest level of the adjustment range.
Some of the drivers, especially those of small stature, may like this position: I sit high, I look far away.
But when a tall person gets behind the wheel, the ceiling is too low. In general, the Cobalt interior is perceived as less comfortable both in terms of ergonomics and in general perception, in particular, due to the finishing materials.
Despite the fact that the rivals are the same in overall width, the space in the cabin at the shoulder level of the rear passengers is slightly more in the Cobalt.
The mirror adjustment panel is conveniently arranged on the door, flush with the mirror. The numbers are large and easy to read. Dissonance is only in the combination of digital and analogue presentation. Simple and convenient: the handwheels allow you to control the microclimate without taking your eyes off the road.
Both cars show excellent suspension energy. But if you compare them in terms of comfort, then Logan wins a little.
Nuances of dynamics
Cobalt can be considered dynamic, but with a caveat: for this you need not be lazy to spin the engine a little more and switch to low gears in time. Logan is undemanding to 
timeliness of the choice of the desired stage. There is no doubt about the ease of control Logan - forgiving and maximally “friendly”.
Renault Logan
The Logan, like the rival in the test, has no steering column adjustment, but the fit is generally noticeably better. Regardless of your body type, you can easily find the optimal position in less than a minute. Access to most of the controls is well organized.
The notes concern only insignificant nuances of using individual buttons. In the interior decoration, the manufacturer managed to avoid the sensations of an obvious economy option. The fabric that covers the seats makes a good impression.
In general, the Logan is perceived as a more comfortable, ergonomic and aesthetic vehicle. The front panel is finished with hard plastics, but due to the selection of texture and color 
scale, there is no feeling that you have saved on the interior.
In the version that combines the additional functions of the steering wheel with a leather sheath, the grip in the spoke area is not very comfortable. The instrument cluster looks like an adult, but the engine temperature gauge is missing here.
Nice, but it is hardly possible to adjust the distribution of air flows without looking. In the rear, the Logan has slightly more headroom.
The Brazilian branch of GM, by 2011, independently developed its own vision of the state employee. The project was named Chevrolet Cobalt, the novelty, as a concept, was presented in the summer of 2011 in Buenos Aires. Until the end of 2011, sales of this sedan started in South America, and in 2012, the "global" Chevrolet Cobalt reached the Russian market.
In order to avoid confusion, let us immediately clarify that the model of the same name was produced in the USA under the Chevrolet brand in 2004-2010 (GM Delta platform) - using this platform were also produced: Opel Astra H (2004-2009), Opel Zafira, Chevrolet HHR ...
The second incarnation of the Chevrolet Cobalt uses the old Delta platform - shortened by 4 mm (2620 mm), the manufacturer positions this car as a representative of the European class "B". The four-door, "South American" sedan has 4479 mm length, 1735 mm width, 1514 mm height, and with its dimensions is located between the Chevrolet Aveo and Chevrolet Cruze sedans.
The appearance of the 2012 Chevrolet Cobalt model year from the Brazilian designers turned out to be original, but boring. The front part with large almond-shaped headlights, an immodest size false radiator grille, a bumper with an additional air duct and "cannons" for foglights is made in the corporate style of the brand. Only the disproportionately large dimensions of the headlights and the radiator grille introduce a certain imbalance in the appearance of this car.
The sides of the body with a high waist line (small glass), an almost flat roof, powerful rear pillars, round wheel arches and a lean trunk look fresh, without a hitch.
The stamping at the bottom of the doors somewhat dilutes the mood, but its configuration seems to be asking to be protected by a plastic overlay. The stern with a huge trunk lid is discordant with the "child size" bumper and rear lighting, which is made in the style of "Corsa sedan".
The dimensions of the practical luggage compartment of the Chevrolet Cobalt sedan are 545 liters (leave the former class record holder, Renault Logan, far behind).
The internal component of the second incarnation of the Chevrolet Cobalt sedan in many solutions has something in common with the interior design of the 2012 Chevrolet Aveo model year. The same three-spoke steering wheel with a metal insert (the steering column is adjustable in four directions), an original motorcycle dashboard, a front dashboard with open shelves for small things. The center console with an attractive and ergonomic configuration and multimedia system, with convenient control knobs for the heater and air conditioning.
The seats in the Chevrolet Cobalt also migrated from the Aveo, the front ones with a bright anatomical shape and pronounced lateral support not only for the cushion, but also for the back of the chair.
The back row pillow is molded for two passengers, and there are two headrests, the third seated person will be uncomfortable. In the second row there is plenty of legroom, passengers of average height will not feel cramped.
The materials used in the interior trim will not be expensive, but of acceptable quality. In addition, the Chevrolet Cobalt II has the ability to complete with climate control, power windows, power and heated mirrors, front airbags, CD / MP3 radio.
Specifications. For the Russian and market, the second Chevrolet Cobalt is equipped with a petrol 1.5-liter 105-horsepower engine. There will be two gearboxes for it: 5-speed "mechanics" or 6-speed "automatic".
The dynamics of the sedan does not depend on the type of gearbox - it is, in any case, 11.7 seconds "to the first hundred", and the maximum speed is 170 km / h.
But in terms of fuel efficiency - "mechanics", nevertheless, wins. Fuel consumption (and the manufacturer recommends 95th gasoline) with manual transmission will be 6.5 liters per 100 km in "mixed" mode (8.4 - "in the city" or 5.3 - "on the highway"), and with "automatic" fuel consumption will increase to 7.6 liters "on average" (10.4 in the urban cycle or 5.9 on the highway).
By the way, the Basil version of the Chevrolet Cobalt is equipped with 1.4 liter EconoFlex engines. with a power of 97 h.p. when running on gasoline and delivering 102 hp ethanol (Brazil is the world's largest biofuel producer). A 5-speed manual gearbox is offered to help the engine. Dynamics up to "hundreds" of 11.9 seconds, with a maximum speed of 170 km / h.
Chevrolet Cobalt is built on a classic budget car suspension: independent front on MacPherson struts, rear semi-independent with a torsion beam.
In general, knowing the characteristics of the suspension, the engine power and the gearbox used, it is not difficult to understand how the budget Chevrolet Cobalt will behave on the road. The car is built on the proven Delta platform, a typical representative of which is the Opel Astra H (now out of production). So, on roads with poor coverage, the driver and passengers will have to take on all the pits, joints and road ripples due to the stiff suspension. With a leisurely ride, the steering will be adequate, body roll will be negligible. It won't work, the car is "not tuned" for high-speed taxiing and abrupt rearrangements. In critical situations, it is possible for the rear axle to slip into a skid, but good and tenacious brakes should save the situation.
Summing up, this "Cobalt" can be attributed to a number of typical representatives of the "budget segment". The main features of the car: original design, interesting functional interior, mediocre handling.
The budget Chevrolet Cobalt sedan is produced for the CIS countries in Uzbekistan (at the GM Uzbekistan plant).
Options and prices. In 2015, Chevrolet Cobalt is offered on the Russian market in two trim levels: LT and LTZ. The cost of a sedan in the basic configuration "LT" (with a 1.5-liter, 105-horsepower engine and a 5-speed manual transmission) starts at 571 thousand rubles. And "Cobalt" with the same engine, but already with "automatic" is offered at a price of 637 thousand rubles. For a price of 668 thousand rubles, a top-end Chevrolet Cobalt configuration will be offered (the equipment additionally includes: ABS, an airbag for the front passenger, foglights, a CD + USB audio system, rear power windows and 15 ″ alloy wheels).
In the summer of 2012, GM representatives officially announced that they would begin mass production of the Chevrolet Cobalt II sedan, shown earlier at the Buenos Aires Auto Show. According to the company, the new Chevrolet Cobalt was entirely developed in Brazil, where the first sales of the new item started.
In the model range of the automaker, the new Chevrolet Cobalt 2017-2018 took place exactly between the updated Aveo and Cruze. The overall length of the sedan is 4,479 mm (wheelbase is 2,620 mm), the width is 1,735 mm, and the height is 1,514 mm. The Russian premiere of the novelty took place at the August 2012 Moscow Motor Show.
Configuration and prices Chevrolet Cobalt 2015.
MT5 - 5-speed mechanics, AT6 - 6-speed automatic.
The exterior of the Chevrolet Cobalt 2017 is quite distinctive, but the interior almost completely duplicates the "younger brothers", even the dashboard in the motorcycle style remained unchanged.
As the main ones, two 1.4-liter gasoline engines with a capacity of 97 hp are proposed. and 102 hp, as well as a more powerful 1.8-liter unit, the output of which has not yet been reported. Their Latin American versions can also run on ethanol.
In the Russian market, the Chevrolet Cobalt 2 is offered exclusively with a 1.5-liter petrol engine with 105 hp. paired with a five-speed manual transmission, but optionally it can be ordered with a six-speed automatic transmission.
Official sales of the new Chevrolet Cobalt II started in 2012. The sedan is sold in 40 countries around the world, including countries in Africa, South America, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Cobalt appeared in our company at the beginning of 2013.
The price of the new Chevrolet Cobalt of Russia at the time of sales started at 571,000 rubles. This is a basic LT machine with a manual transmission. Surcharge for automatic transmission - 66,000 rubles. The top Chevrolet Cobalt in the LTZ version, available exclusively with an automatic transmission, was estimated at 668,000 rubles.
