Small cars for women and girls - choosing a small economical car

Daewoo Matiz (Ravon Matiz)

Daewoo Matiz has remained one of the most affordable, and therefore very popular, small cars on the domestic market for many years. Now the car is offered under the new Ravon brand. Despite the fact that the car has a primitive appearance, it is still in demand and creates competition in its class. This is primarily due to its affordable cost. The new Matiz in the basic configuration (M 19 LITE) can be purchased for only 154,000 rubles.

Ravon Matiz

In addition, the vehicle is quite economical and quite suitable for driving around the city. Fuel consumption in city mode is no more than 7.5 liters per 100 km; on the highway, gasoline costs are reduced to 5 liters.

The four-cylinder power unit has a displacement of only 0.8 liters and develops a power of 51 hp. On the one hand, these parameters may seem meager, but it is worth remembering that the car was developed primarily as an economical vehicle. The engine is paired with a five-speed manual transmission.

Deliveries of cars with automatic transmission were stopped in 2008, as Matiz began to create serious competition for the Chevrolet Spark.

Despite the low cost, the car's safety is at a significant level. This is due to the presence of shockproof beams on the front and rear doors, locking of the rear doors and power windows that protect against accidental opening, as well as a central locking system.

The color range of the car is very extensive and includes 10 versions:

golden sand
smoky white
super red
blue-glazed
spanish-red
gray-pearl
pale black
silver
lactic
yellow-green.

Available colors of Ravon Matiz

The Tango T600

This car is heavier than its miniature counterparts: it weighs one and a half tons. But it is distinguished by its slenderness: the width of the car is less than a meter. This electric car travels almost 200 kilometers without recharging and accelerates to 112 km/h. With its dimensions, the Tango is perhaps the most convenient urban micromobile, both for maneuvering in traffic jams and for parking in the smallest pockets.

Lifan Smily 320 - inexpensive mini-machine

The next popular small car among Russian women is the Chinese Lifan Smily 320. Despite the frequent distrust of domestic consumers towards Chinese goods, Lifan cars are quite popular, and the quality of workmanship is at an “acceptable” level.

Lifan Smily 320

Lifan Smily has a strong resemblance to the popular Mini from BMW, which significantly influenced its desirability among the fair half. The car combines both modern design solutions and full technical equipment. Despite this, its cost is quite acceptable - the price of the basic model (COMFORT) starts from 200,000 rubles. Smily fuel consumption in the combined cycle does not exceed 6.3 liters per 100 km.

The machine is equipped with a 1.3 liter four-cylinder in-line internal combustion engine. The engine develops power up to 88 hp, which is quite good for a car in its class. The car can be equipped with either a 5-speed gearbox or a robotic one. The maximum speed of the vehicle is 160 km/h.

Pasquali Riscio

On one battery charge, it travels 50 kilometers, reaching speeds of up to 40 km/h - that is, there is nothing to do on the highway. The car is available in two versions - double and single, and the latter can be driven without a driver's license in the homeland of the rickshaw, Florence.

Chery IndiS (S18D)

The compact crossover Chery IndiS, produced by the popular Chinese automaker Chery Automobile, has been in demand among Russian ladies for many years. Its original appearance emphasizes a woman’s individuality and makes her stand out on the road.

Chery India

The vehicle has modest dimensions, but despite this it is quite comfortable in it, and its small dimensions make it much easier to maneuver in the traffic of a metropolis. The high ground clearance of the IndiS (183 mm) ensures ease of control not only on a flat road surface, but also on problem sections of roads, which are very common in the vastness of Russia.

The car has a fairly high level of cross-country ability in its class, and at the same time, a neat feminine design. Perhaps, such a successful combination made him one of the most desirable among girls.

The car is equipped with a 1.3-liter engine that develops a power of 83 hp. The power unit can be paired with either a five-speed manual transmission or a robotic gearbox. Fuel consumption in mixed mode is only 7.1/7.2 liters per 100 km.

Regarding the interior design, the first thing that catches your eye is that the instrument panel is located exactly in the middle of the dashboard. This may seem inconvenient to some, but still this cannot be called a serious drawback of the car. The display on the devices is quite sufficient to see the movement parameters in a specific situation.

Dashboard

It is important that the car, regardless of configuration, is equipped with electric windows on all windows, as well as heated front seats. This is extremely rare in this price segment.

Safety systems in the car include: front airbags, ABS and EBD, three-point seat belts in the front and rear seats.

Salon

In order to increase safety, the vehicle doors are equipped with bars that prevent deformation during a side impact.

The cost of the car starts from 320,000 rubles.

Exterior colors: Aegean Blue, Chery White, Noble Red, Nasdaq Silver, Crown Gold

Where to start choosing a car for a woman?

The first thing you should decide on is the car body. Most often, girls choose a hatchback or compact coupe.

Girls find these bodies extremely attractive and easy to drive, especially when it comes to parking.

The second step is color . At first glance, it’s a simple solution, but it’s the one with which girls have problems most often, especially since each brand has its own color palette, so you may like the appearance of the vehicle, but the desired color is not provided.

When choosing a car color, keep in mind that darker shades are less noticeable on the road, especially in cloudy and rainy weather. Therefore, especially if the vehicle is miniature, it makes sense to think about choosing a color such as red, yellow or white.

When choosing a car brand, you should pay attention to the level of safety and technical data. The cost of spare parts and the car’s susceptibility to breakdowns will also play a fundamental role in the future.

As a result, the list of criteria for choosing a car for a girl up to 200 thousand rubles includes the following factors:

Cozy and comfortable salon.
Low fuel consumption.
Low cost of maintenance.
Safety.
Aesthetic appearance.
Bright color.
Affordable cost of operation.
Dimensions.
Body type.
Controllability.

It is advisable not to consider the option of buying a used car, but if there are no options, it should not be older than 2006-2007. Since it is unlikely that a woman will be able to figure out a breakdown if it suddenly happens on the road, and in the case of old cars, this cannot be avoided.

The seller can simply hide problems that may appear in the first month of driving.
