LADA Largus is a joint project of AvtoVAZ and the Renault-Nissan Alliance. This car is a high-capacity station wagon and has an optimal price-quality ratio. The interior of the Lada Largus is an almost exact copy of the Renault Logan, with minor changes. For example, the steering wheel has been completely changed. The exterior is also identical to Logan. AvtoVAZ only corrected some details: the front bumper, headlights and radiator grille were changed. As for the chassis of the Lada Largus, it is an exact copy of Logan.
The interior of the Lada Largus is practically no different from the interior of the Renault Logan
Overall, Largus fully lives up to its masculine name and looks like a reliable and trustworthy car. More accurately, you can describe the appearance of the car with words such as rigor, confidence and reliability. This is simply a great family car at an affordable price. It is quite comfortable and roomy. Let's take a closer look at the interior of this vehicle.
Cabin space
Largus is quite spacious inside. The ceilings are high and even if the driver or passengers are tall, they will still be comfortable inside the car. There is a sufficient distance between the rows and even during a long journey there will be no discomfort when sitting and your legs will not become numb. The presence of space is impressive and pleasing.
Consumer reviews indicate that on a long trip, 6 people, including the driver, will feel most comfortable (meaning the seven-seat version). This is due to the fact that in the second row, during a long journey, three passengers will feel somewhat cramped, but two people will be as comfortable as possible.
Asceticism
Largus's main and most obvious drawback is his deliberate asceticism. The interior has not changed a bit since the first generation Renault Logan. The list of options contains only the necessary minimum, although today more and more buyers want to see some extras in it, such as additional heating, advanced multimedia, and electronic assistants. Largus is only able to offer heated front seats, a single-din radio, ABS and rear parking sensors. There are only two airbags, the air conditioning is manually controlled.
From the outside, the Lada Largus looks more like a slightly improved truck than a civilian passenger car. The situation is partially saved by the body kit of the Cross version. The long-promised automated transmission also never appeared, as did the 1.8 engine. Commercial versions have no use for them, but many people buy Largus as a family station wagon and drive it to work every day. There are also plenty of mistakes in terms of ergonomics. If AVTOVAZ had corrected at least some of these problems, the popularity of the car would have immediately increased. Let's see what the upcoming restyling will bring to Largus.
By the way, Largus also serves in the editorial office of ZR.

This car has long been an ideal solution for those people who need an inexpensive car with large capacity. Indeed, Lada Largus is able to cope well with the transportation of both people and cargo. Of course, this is not the most comfortable car, but obviously not the worst.
By releasing a restyling model, the designers will try to correct various minor flaws to make the car even better. The new model will be more reliable, convenient and safe. At the same time, the price of Lada Largus 2022 will be the same as its predecessor.

Reviews from Lada Largus owners
Overall, I am completely satisfied with the machine and it justified itself 200%. The car is used for traveling, transporting various goods for the dacha, garage, and also as a reliable carriage.
When running over long distances (800 - 1,200 km), it does not hurt your back, and you can continue to do other things. I drive a 95 + stitched “brains” and a 16-valve engine, everything is smooth, I think it’s not enough for such a body. You have to travel a lot (50-60 thousand per year). Often with a car full of passengers. I am pleased with the car for its inexpensive operation, reliability, options, spaciousness, and versatility. For me, this is the best budget option.
On a winter and slippery track, the Lada Largus behaves very predictably, confidently and obediently, it seems that even intentionally it is not possible to cause it to skid. Therefore, winter operation gives an extremely positive impression; even in extremely bad weather conditions, you are 110% confident in the car.
I took Lada Largus for work. The mileage is great, in 2.5 years I have covered 220,000 km. During this time, I changed the wheel bearings, ball bearings and starter three times. For such a mileage the performance is very good. Overall I'm happy with the car. A good workhorse for very little money. I don’t really want to load it to the dacha, although they write on the forum that the rear axle is rather weak, so far everything is normal.

Seats
The main component of a comfortable ride in a Largus car is the seats. They are almost identical to Logan's chairs and do not cause any complaints. In addition, the driver’s seat in the “Lux” configuration now has lumbar support adjustment. In addition, the driver's seat has height adjustment. All car seats have adjustable armrests.
There is enough space in the cabin for comfortable trips over long distances
If you compare the first and second rows of seats, they are at different levels (the second is higher). But thanks to the high ceilings, this does not create discomfort.
Advantages and disadvantages
To make the right decision, you need to study not only the advantages, but also the disadvantages of the model. The owners, who have extensive experience in operating Largus, found one drawback. The car manufacturer did not adjust the interior of the station wagons in such a way that their owners would have the opportunity to transport large loads. If the driver nevertheless decided to load a large object into his car, then the cargo often caused damage to the interior.
Otherwise, Lada Largus owners are satisfied with everything in their cars. Among the advantages of a Russian car are the following:
- ease of loading;
- optimal dimensions;
- the ability to increase trunk capacity by removing the seats;
- high load capacity;
- possibility of modernization.
Drivers universally note the practicality and convenience of the LADA Largus trunk. Its size is quite enough to demonstrate the functionality of a domestic car, which allowed it to become a leader among its closest competitors. The manufacturer managed to competently and rationally approach the arrangement of the body space, which allows Largus to successfully transport large objects and indicates the enviable carrying capacity of the model.
Lada Largus is recommended for those drivers who want to get a car with the best consumer properties and technical characteristics.
Decoration Materials
In general, the car interior is decorated with high-quality materials. They are not of the highest quality, but are quite consistent with the level and cost of the vehicle. Plastic, of course, leaves much to be desired and many people don’t like its smell. But you can put up with this, and the smell will disappear over time. The upholstery of the chairs is most often two-tone, pleasing to the eye and of quite high quality.
Finishing materials are not the best - but good quality
Luggage compartment
We can say that the spacious trunk is the trump card of the Lada Largus station wagon. In the five-seater version, the luggage compartment volume is 560 liters, in the seven-seater version – 135 liters, and with the seats of the five-seater station wagon folded, it generally reaches 2350 liters. In case of maximum use of the trunk, a mesh can be stretched between the passenger and cargo compartments. For this purpose, there are lugs on the ceiling of the car.
Hinged doors can open either 180 or 90 degrees. In certain cases this makes loading much easier.
Management nuances
This is what surprises Largus for the better while driving. The steering wheel is a bit heavy, but the car responds to its movements perfectly, as if it were not an average station wagon, but a luxury sedan. Well, what other VAZ would show such excellent handling? And if you also install a lock, such as the lock on the steering shaft of the VAZ Lada Kalina, then your Largus will be reliably protected from theft.
The suspension was definitely specially designed to withstand the eternal Russian problem - bad roads. Even on dirt roads the car runs smoothly. Except that, according to some drivers, the rear of the Largus, designed for heavy loads, bounces slightly when driving. Driving is made easier by the presence of ABS and power steering as standard. Largus passengers are not afraid of potholes and tram rails.
Niches, shelves and pockets
Everything in the LADA Largus is very conveniently arranged to accommodate the little things you need on the road. The mezzanine above the second-row seats is simply perfect for placing things that are not heavy, but sometimes so necessary on the road. The doors are equipped with convenient niches and cup holders. The trunk also has pockets and mesh restraints where you can store tools, a jack, a warning triangle and a cable, as well as other things necessary on the road.
There are quite a variety of niches and shelves in the cabin
Additionally, an armrest-box can be installed between the front seats, inside which you can also transport the necessary little things: glasses, watches, mobile phones, etc.
To summarize, we can say that in the LADA Largus car everything is organized so that both the driver and passengers feel comfortable, comfortable and spacious. To make the interior of the vehicle pleasing to the eye, neutral colors and high-quality materials were used. Numerous niches, shelves and pockets allow you to have everything you might need on the road at hand, especially if it’s a long trip. Air conditioning, heated seats, three-point seat belts and power windows add comfort, convenience and coziness.

Filling Lada Largus
Two options of power units are presented to buyers: 1.6-liter and 16-valve engines with a power of 87 hp. With. and 102 l. With. There is only one gearbox: a five-speed manual, which, in principle, is enough and there is no need for a variety of gearboxes for this type of car.
Even in the most budget versions there are systems for distributing braking forces and preventing wheel locking. By the way, the brakes work perfectly, exactly as they should, stopping the movement of a massive and oversized station wagon.
Unlike its forefather Renault, the Lada Largus has a reinforced base and rolls less when cornering. Of course, the steering wheel is stiff, and the clutch and accelerator pedals do not have sufficient feedback, however, Largus was not intended to be a sports car, so you should not expect high handling performance from it.
