GAZ-2705 is a family of Russian trucks that fall into the category of low-tonnage. Distinctive features of all varieties are the frame chassis and all-metal body.
The maximum mass of the car does not exceed 3.5 tons, so it belongs to the class N1 (M1). To manage such transport requires a driver's license "B". Also on the car GAZ-2705 signs do not apply "The movement of trucks is prohibited." This increases its mobility and versatility.
Machines are produced not only in Russia: some countries of the CIS and Europe have bought a license from the Gorky Automobile Plant for assembly.
general information
The first copies of 2705 were released from the conveyor in 1994. In the coming months after the start of assembly, demand was several times higher than supply. This forced GAZ management to increase production capacity, as well as open production points in other countries. The main consumers were small and medium business owners who were interested in purchasing compact, economical and inexpensive trucks.
In early 1995, the first cars debuted on Russian roads. It took the family a few months to gain a leading position in the segment of urban freight. The main designer success was the streamlined cabin, which stood out against the backdrop of urban traffic. GAZ-2705 received an all-metal body, which attracted business owners from a practical point of view. Loading and unloading passed through two doors: sliding on the starboard and hinged in the tail section. Their dimensions made it possible to easily place large-sized cargoes into transport.
In the entire history of the line, engineers of the Gorky Enterprise have released a lot of modifications. Thanks to this, every client could find what is required to complete his tasks. The new GAZ-2705 was easy to maintain, and had good maintainability. Spare parts were sold at each specialty store.
The peak of the popularity of the family came at the release of the GAZ-2705 Combi, a cargo-passenger model. External and structural differences were few. There are additional windows in the back, which were located in the second row of seats. In those years, the Gorky enterprise reported on record sales of its own products.
A few years later, the designers of the company changed the design of the car, making it more attractive. Vehicles received new larger mirrors with integrated repeaters. Their development took into account user feedback on the poor review of the road. Rectangular optics replaced drop-shaped, which better illuminated the road surface in the dark. The plastic bumper and grille were also changed. Nowadays, equipment is produced in this design.
Cargo van GAZ-2705 entered the assembly line in 1996. Its production continues, but in limited quantities. The main distinguishing feature of this species is the increased permeability. Since 2002, modifications of 2705-90 and 27057-90 have been collected in small quantities. Due to the installation of a plastic roof, it was possible to increase the height of the body to 1.85 meters, and the free space for loading to 11 cubic meters. Gazelle 2705 is used in ambulance, encashment, as auto laboratories and for other purposes.
As mentioned above, freight transport is used in small and medium businesses. The small size and acceptable carrying capacity allow the Gazelka to move freely around modern megacities. GAZ-2705 Kombi, which is used for the simultaneous transportation of people and goods, deserves special attention. This modification is inferior in terms of carrying capacity to a standard truck, but it stands out with a double-row cabin, which allows to carry up to 6 passengers. The all-metal cargo van protects the objects being transported from external influences: pollution, precipitation and damage. Back in the early 90s, when a new project was just beginning to be created, adaptability under Russian climatic and road conditions was its basis.

The loading height of 72.5 cm makes the loading and unloading processes comfortable and safe.
All power plants that have ever been installed on cars of the family, accelerate technology to 115 km / h. To reach the mark of 100 km / h, it takes 40 seconds. In the fuel tank you can fill 70 liters of gasoline. Fuel consumption GAZ-2705 when driving in urban environments (60 km / h) is 11-12 liters per 100 kilometers. With an increase in the average speed of fuel consumption increases by 2-4 liters. Standard wheel formula - 4x2. However, there are modifications with all-wheel drive, which are used in rural areas.
Engine GAZ-2705
Different versions of the low-tonnage truck were completed with different power units:
- UMP 4216. Motor, powered by gasoline and working on a four-stroke scheme. The cooling system is liquid type. Ignition is carried out from a spark. Four cylinders provide a volume of 2.89 liters, thereby developing a capacity of 102 horsepower. The engine meets the environmental standard "Euro-2";
- ZMZ-40524. The design corresponds to the previous power plant, only the technical characteristics differ. The working volume is 2.46 liters, which allows it to reach 142.5 horsepower. Environmental standard - "Euro-2";
- GAZ-5602 on diesel. Four cylinders are arranged in rows, they provide a volume of 2.13 liters. Maximum engine power - 110 horsepower. Due to the use of diesel, the designers managed to bring the transport to the environmental standard "Euro-3";
- Chrysler 2.4L-DOHC. Petrol power unit, which is similar in design to the first two options, but different technical characteristics. With a working volume of 2.42 liters, a power of 137 horsepower is achieved. The American engine complies with the Euro-3 environmental standard.
Over the years, some modifications of the family equipped with various power plants of the Yaroslavl Motor Plant, which developed from 89 to 110 horsepower.
Device
At the heart of the design is usually the frame chassis of increased strength. Front dependent suspension consists of telescopic shock absorbers and longitudinal semi-elliptical springs. The stabilizer bar was introduced by the designers into the structure of the rear and front parts in order to increase the stability of transport on the road. The rear suspension includes two semi-elliptical springs, telescopic shock absorbers with hydraulics and a spring block.
Independent diagonal braking system consists of two circuits. It is complemented by a vacuum booster and a control drive on hydraulics. On the front wheels are ventilated brakes on the rear wheels - drum. Additionally there is a parking brake. His cam eccentric is fixed on the rear wheels.
With any engine, coupled always set manual transmission with five speeds. Each stage is equipped with a synchronizer. The gear ratio - 5,125. The gearbox is connected to the power unit by means of a hydraulically operated clutch consisting of one disk. The steering system is made as a "screw-ball nut". Most of the varieties in the design has GUR.
The all-metal body GAZ-2705 is equipped with four doors: two in the cab, two on the body (sliding and swing). There is not a lot of free space in the cabin, but it is enough for loading all the necessary and comfortable work. Standard modification is designed to carry three people in the cabin. GAZ-2705 with 7 seats belongs to the class of cargo-and-passenger transport. It was possible to increase capacity by installing a second row of seats and reducing the load capacity. The partition between the cabin and the load compartment is made of metal.
The driver is placed on a separate seat. Passenger sofa combined. For safety, it is equipped with two belts and rigid head restraints. The finish is made of durable plastic and good fabric.
In copies of the first years of release there was no comfortable working environment. The salon was notable for anything remarkable, it was dominated by rectangular shapes. A few years after the launch of mass production, specialists of the Gorky Automobile Plant restarted, increasing convenience. Despite the addition of many new features, gazelka continued to yield to foreign competitors, but won in terms of cost.
The dashboard, made of plastic, includes the necessary indicators that give the driver information about the technical condition of the low-tonnage truck. The gear lever is set to the floor. Modern heater has high efficiency. The stove maintains room temperature in the cabin even in winter.
Service
The Gorky company supplies components to the market in large quantities, since these trucks account for a large share of total sales. Many components of this family are unified with other developments of the Gorky enterprise. At any technical site in specialized stores and the dealer always have spare parts.
In business, this vehicle is welcome due to maintainability. Any mechanic can fix the damage by having a minimum number of tools on hand. The advantage is a detailed instruction manual, describing in detail each scheme of the car. It comes with every copy.
If you follow the recommendations given by the manufacturer, the car will last for many years without serious damage. The main instruction is not to exceed the maximum permissible load. Neglect of this rule can lead to deformation of the main elements of the chassis.
What can be concluded?
GAZ-2705, focused on the business segment, is one of the most popular products of the Gorky Automobile Plant in the entire history of its existence. Production has been going on for over 20 years. Despite the release of more sophisticated models, the popularity of this machine does not fall for many years.
The cost of a standard modification in the primary market is 514,000 rubles. For the installation of gas equipment, the buyer will have to pay 25 thousand. The price of the maximum configuration with a powerful American engine - 743 thousand rubles.
In the secondary market, you can find a car in good condition, which will last 3-5 years without serious damage and will have time to pay off several times. You can find a good transport for 140-400 thousand rubles. The total price depends on the technical and external conditions. Experts do not advise considering gazelki older than 2005.
