You cannot buy a car without considering its strengths and weaknesses; Because otherwise, the result will be regret.

Know the strengths and weaknesses of MVM 315

Sometimes the car is examined by an expert and its advantages and disadvantages appear; But it is impossible to stick to such a conclusion. In order to reach a favorable result, we should examine the car in detail and inspect each part to reveal the advantages and disadvantages of that part.

The Chery brand has been introduced to Iran’s automobile industry by car managers, and one of the economic products of this car manufacturer is MVM. In the following article, we decided to examine the advantages and disadvantages of MVM 315 in detail in order to determine whether this car is worth buying or not.

MVM 315 has been present in the Iranian market for nearly a decade, and this long-term presence makes the examination of its advantages and disadvantages meaningful. If you are interested in this car, but you have doubts about buying it, stay with us; Because we are going to explain the strengths and weaknesses of this car.

Various models of MVM 315

Car managers has a long history and reputation among car enthusiasts. Chery’s best-selling products reach the customs of our country and are sold through this car manufacturer. One of the oldest and most popular cars assembled by this company is MVM 315.

In 2009, Chery introduced Falvin 2 to the market of China and other countries, and car managers decided to complete the assembly of this car under the name of MVM 315. Various models of this car have been released on the market, but the only version that has attracted the attention of customers is the MVM 315 facelift, which has been sold since 2014.

Chery MVM 315 came to Iran in two models, hatchback and sedan, and was assembled; But if you want to find its sedan version in the market of our country, it is like looking for a needle in a barn full of hay. It was before 2015 that Car Managers sold two simple and sporty versions of this Chinese product; But the production of the simple model was stopped from the same year onwards, so that only the sports model has a place to compete.

In addition to this sport model, it has two sub-models: luxury and excellent, since 2018, the gear box has been replaced by an automatic box. From 1999 onwards, car managers came to the conclusion that it would be better to launch a new version called Plus. MVM 315 Plus automatic is fortunately equipped with many comfort and safety facilities and a good facelift that can be counted on.

Among the conveniences and options available in the luxury version, we can mention a touch monitor with navigation capability, rear camera, control buttons on the electric steering wheel, Bluetooth, leather seats and other facilities. In addition to having all the mentioned features, the Excellent model is equipped with more features such as rail load and VIFA broadcast system. The Plus model also has the following features:

Sunroof, electric steering wheel, daytime running lights, light sensor, tire pressure sensor, electronic stability control system, dual Eco and Sport driving modes, cruise control and heated side mirrors. One of the difficulties of buying the MVM 315 is the variety of models that this car has, because many of its models have entered the market.

What are the advantages of MVM 315?

The advantages and disadvantages of each car should be compared to other similar products and it cannot be said that a certain car has 100% advantages and disadvantages. Among the competing cars that can be cited for the MVM 315 is the Peugeot 206 and, among foreign examples, the Lifan X50. In the following, we are going to express the advantages of this car.

1. The beautiful face of MVM 315

In the early days of the unveiling of the attractive MVM 315 car, the large Chery company used the image of a whale to show the beauty of its economical product to let customers and car enthusiasts know that the front of this car was inspired by a whale. Looking at the elongated lights of MVM 315, we will notice its whale-like eyes.

The 15-inch 10-spoke rims are made of aluminum, and unfortunately, according to the designers and veteran market activists, the rear view will imitate and copy the BMW 1 series. The side view is more beautiful thanks to various geometric lines and it receives an acceptable score in the exterior section.

2. Spacious cabin

Another one of the most important advantages of MVM 315, in addition to its beautiful exterior, is its spacious and modern interior, which is especially economical for Iranian families. Although this car is a hatchback and you can’t expect a lot of wheelbase and space from its cabin, but apparently the Chinese have thought about it and compared to the Peugeot 206, they have considered far more space.

3. The softness of the suspension system

Each of us likes to feel comfortable when riding in a car and not have any problems from the outside. Fortunately, the most important prerequisite for feeling relaxed, which is the soft suspension system, is present in MVM 315. Thanks to the soft suspension system, the driving experience will be enjoyable for the passengers.

The driver will be the most satisfied with the suspension system, and the adhesion of the tires of this Chinese hatchback can largely prevent external vibrations. Of course, it cannot be said that the softness of the suspension system is entirely positive, because it made the handling of the car a little difficult.

4. Optimum fuel consumption

The fourth advantage that can be counted for MVM 315 is its optimal fuel consumption. One of the most important components when buying for various customers is gas consumption, and naturally, consumers will not go for a car that uses a lot of fuel. The tank capacity of the car managers’ hatchback is 50 liters and it will consume about 6.5 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers, which is a good fuel consumption compared to the products available in the market of our country.

What are the disadvantages of MVM 315?

Perhaps more important than the advantages of any car are its disadvantages; Because customers always have complete information about the product’s benefits, but they cannot accept its disadvantages and will resist understanding this issue. We should be aware of the defects of the car, because we are going to ride in that car and our physical and mental health is very important. In the following, we will learn about the disadvantages of MVM 315:

1. Not very desirable engine

It can be said that the most important flaw of this Chinese hatchback is the simple and ordinary engine that is under the hood. This 1.5-liter 4-cylinder 16-valve engine can produce 107 horsepower and 140 Nm of torque at its best, and such specifications mean that we are dealing with an average and ordinary product. In other words, the engine of this car is the same as the tu5 engine, and according to some drivers, the sound of the engine is so loud that it becomes annoying.

2. Poor initial acceleration

Lovers of car agility and speed may conclude that MVM 315 is not for them after seeing such a defect. Acceleration is an important issue and considering the specifications of the engine that we have described, we cannot expect much from it. This car can reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour within 15 to 16 seconds from an absolute standstill, which is high and will not bring satisfaction to customers.

3. Weak braking system

If the car’s safety system is weak, that car has nothing to say and you should give it a gift. The front brake of MVM 315 is disc and the rear brake is cup and equipped with ABS. Despite this, one should not expect high performance of the brakes. In the higher models of this hatchback, the option of stability control has been added. Airbags are designed only for the front passengers and if you ask car activists, they believe that the braking system of 206 has better performance than this Chinese car.

4. Poor quality of materials used in the cabin

Economic and cost-effective products such as MVM 315 do not have a quality cabin; Because their costs must be controlled and kept low. Unfortunately, hard and dry plastic is used inside the cabin of such cars and it does not convey a good feeling to the driver and passengers. This big problem exists not only in MVM 315 but also in domestic cars such as 206 and Lifan X50.

5. Low quality disc and screen

A car with high depreciation is not worth buying and you have to constantly suffer because of its side costs and be in the repair shop. According to proven experience, MVM 315 discs and plates wear out much earlier than competing and similar vehicles and should be replaced soon.

When the disc and plate are replaced, the depreciation of the car goes up. If you bought the said car from the second-hand market, you should definitely change the disk and screen so that you don’t have a bigger problem in the future.

6. Limited rear view of the car

The driver of the MVM 315 has no problem with the windshield, but the rear view of this car is not suitable and will cause problems for the driver. The cause of this problem is the large trunk that MVM has. Anyway, you have to deal with these conditions after a while and adjust your vision at any cost.

7. Weak gearbox

One of the problems that MVM 315 car owners struggle with is hard gear shifting. The driving force of this car is transferred to the front axle through a 5-speed manual gearbox, and there are also automatic examples of this cross hatchback. Unfortunately, the gearbox of this car is rigid and you have to be very careful to change gears.

8. Low comfort options

The pros and cons of any car are fully explored when we look carefully at its comfort and safety features. Otherwise, the description of advantages and disadvantages has not been completed and we have not reached the point. Among the options of MVM 315, we can mention electric mirrors, sunroof, front and rear fog lights, 7-inch touchscreen display system, leather seat, sensor and rear view camera, and electric steering wheel.

We know Chinese cars in the market of our country with many comfort options. MVM 315 is an old Chinese car in the market of our country, and that is why you cannot count on its features.

final word

In the above paragraphs, we tried to fully describe the advantages and disadvantages of the MVM 315 car and tell the reader the reasons for buying and not buying this product. This old Chinese car has a good family ride and is considered an ideal option for city use.

Every fault we have listed for MVM 315 can be seen in other products of the same category of this car, except for the weak braking system, which performs well in other competitors. One of the most important things to consider when buying this crossover hatchback is its second-hand market. For example, the used market of Peugeot 206 will be much better than MVM 315.
