Detailed reviews from owners:
Owner 1:
‘I owned a 2018 Granta AKP for about a year. The car is very economical, consumption in the city is about 8 liters. The gearbox operates smoothly, without jerking. But the sound insulation leaves much to be desired, especially on the highway. Overall, it’s a good car for the money.’
Owner 2:
‘I bought Grant an automatic transmission to use in a taxi. The car is reliable and does not require frequent repairs. The suspension is stiff, but for frequent trips around the city this is not critical. The trunk is a bit small, but enough for my needs. The gearbox is reliable and shifts smoothly.’
Owner 3:
‘I purchased a Granta automatic transmission for trips to the country and around the city. The car is spacious, the interior is comfortable. Acceleration dynamics are rather weak, but quite sufficient for a quiet ride. Fuel consumption is acceptable, about 9 liters in the combined cycle. Sound insulation could be better.’
General conclusion:
Granta AKP 2018 is a budget car that is suitable for undemanding drivers. It has a number of advantages, such as a convenient automatic transmission, low cost of ownership and low fuel consumption. However, the car’s shortcomings should also be taken into account: poor sound insulation, stiff suspension and a small trunk.
