What is the ground clearance of the Lada Grant sedan?

Ground clearance (or ground clearance) of a car is the distance from the surface on which the car stands to its lowest point in the central part. The higher the ground clearance, the more passable the car becomes, but the less stable it is on the highway. Next, we’ll figure out what the real ground clearance is for the Lada Granta liftback and sedan.

Features of body changes Lada Granta liftback

In addition to changing the external parts, a serious set of measures was carried out to improve the rigidity of the body structure, since structurally the car does not have a cross member on the rear pillars. Additional reinforcements have been added to the design in the form of braces and braces, which can be seen in the trunk. The thickness of the middle side members increased, reaching 1.8 mm instead of 1.5 mm, and a floor sheet 1.2 mm thick was also installed. As a result, the car became stiffer compared to the hatchback, and this made it possible to work on the ground clearance. Rigidity made it possible to raise the car higher without significant losses in handling and stability. Such changes in VAZ tests gave better results when driving on cobblestones, paving stones and other poorly adapted roads.

VAZ has improved the front bumper, which does not catch curbs or the edges of potholes on the road and looks organic and modern. A pleasant detail can rightly be considered new mirrors with built-in turn indicators, which have undergone a number of design changes and no longer make noise at high speeds. In addition to impressive ground clearance and good cross-country ability, the new VAZ received an ideal shape for the transition of the roof line to the trunk, combined with a window sill line ascending to the stern. Such decisions are aimed at the aesthetic beauty of the car, which is designed to sharpen the interest of car enthusiasts in the new brainchild of VAZ.

If you touch on the interior of the Grant, you shouldn’t look for cardinal differences from the base. This is caused by the unification of models and, as a result, a reduction in the cost of the vehicle. The interior has the same inexpensive plastic, a multimedia complex, standard and not very convenient cup holders, a “sweeping” gear selector for a manual transmission, and a unique driver’s position.

There is no power unit temperature indicator, and the view of the rear window at the bottom is slightly limited. Although the Lada Granta liftback has enough advantages, many of them are borrowed from the sedan, but the larger and more convenient trunk, together with the increased ground clearance, sets it apart from its older brother.

Exterior of BMW X5 G05

• The cars are elegant, assertive, thoroughbred. Up front, the new versions are similar to the X3 SUV, with an aggressiveness that comes from the piercing appearance of the headlights.
• We combined chrome inserts of branded nostrils with false radiator grilles.
• The bumper air intakes have become powerful.
• Feed, with memories of the X4 coupe. There are two-section lights here. Curvy luggage compartment lids.
• Two large exhaust pipes.
• Basic lighting LED. At the stern there is ice - lighting.
• You can pay additionally to get laser-phosphor lighting for high beams up to 500 m.

In general, the cars are sporty and elegant.

SUV profiles are distinguished by solidity with elements of proportionality.

They have:

1. extended hoods;
2. smooth roof lines;
3. expressive lines on both sides;
4. rounded wheel arches;
5. wheels 18 -22 in.

The dimensions of the cars have also increased:

• Length - 4 m 922.
• Width - 2 m 004.
• Height - 1 m 745.
• With wheelbase - 2 m 975.
• Ground clearance is 21.4 cm, you can safely drive off-road.
• Curb weights - from 2060 to 2286 kg, everything will depend on the equipment and varieties.

Structural body elements are made of steel and aluminum alloy. Eight color options.

The appearance of the cars differs from the selected variations:

• xLine for off-road driving;
• M Sport for urban driving.

Lighting

Standard options include LED headlights, with LED lights at the rear. Optionally, you can install laser-phosphor headlights for long-range illumination for 500 km.

Hoods

They are long so that there is plenty of space for large power units. Also, this is done for the safety of passengers and drivers. Because there is a lot of space between them and the front bumpers.

Ground clearance of Lada Granta

Vehicle clearance is the distance from the flat surface on which the vehicle is placed to its bottom dimension along the center line. High ground clearance provides better vehicle cross-country ability, but reduces stability on the highway. In order to figure out what the real ground clearance of the Lada Grant liftback is and what capabilities it provides, you should check the ground clearance under different external factors and loads, and also compare it with a sedan.

The Grant Sedan operating manual contains technical characteristics, the values ​​of which are the same for any configuration:

• ground clearance at full load under the engine crankcase is at least 160 mm for cars with a manual transmission and 156 mm for versions with an automatic transmission.
• Ground clearance at full load under the gearbox housing is at least 160 mm for manuals, but significantly less for automatics - 145 mm.

The clearance of the Lada liftback, according to the values ​​declared by the manufacturer, is slightly different from the sedan:

• ground clearance at full load under the engine crankcase is at least 160 mm, for the luxury version with VAZ-21126 and automatic transmission - 135 mm.
• ground clearance at full load under the gearbox housing of the liftback is at least 167 mm (standard and luxury versions with engine 11186), 180 mm (standard and luxury with engine 21127), 160 mm (standard equipped with power unit 21116), 169 mm ( norm and luxury with VAZ-21126).

Which off-road car should you choose?

Take the class you are passionate about.
Do you like speed and cool jumps? Buggy drivers for you. Does your heart skip a beat from the roar of a powerful engine? Monster truck, and more. Do you prefer to overcome difficulties that others cannot solve? Welcome to Trophy. In every class of RC off-road cars there are worthy and more than worthy models. The main thing is that you like the genre itself, and we will offer you a suitable machine!

The term “crossover” means a station wagon with all-wheel drive, the distinctive feature of which is a fairly high ground clearance. As a rule, such vehicles do not have differential locks, nor do they have downshifts. The main difference between a crossover and an SUV lies, first of all, in its purpose: these mini-jeeps are designed for driving around the city in winter. And if you take into account the state of domestic roads, the conclusion suggests itself: such cars are designed specifically for residents of Russia!

So, today we will look at crossovers that have the highest ground clearance.

What is the highest ground clearance for crossovers? There are no exact figures here, but the ground clearance for them, equal to 18 or 20 centimeters, is already considered high.

What do high ground clearance and cross-country ability of a liftback give?

Small slopes of the front and rear bumpers and high ground clearance provide the Lada Granta with a liftback body:

• high cross-country ability;
• stability at high speeds;
• confidence when parking;
• safety of the bottom of the car;
• good aerodynamics of the lower part of the car.

Not every crossover has such cross-country qualities. With a new VAZ car you can safely drive onto country roads and quiet places in search of beautiful scenery. The suspension is energy-intensive and behaves well on bumps and bumps, the car overcomes rough terrain well, some delays can only be caused by ordinary road tires, which slip on the grass. The light steering and maneuverability of the car have proven themselves well. Control when driving on the highway is quite informative. Good ground clearance allows you not to worry when driving in urban conditions; even large potholes on the road do not lead to impacts on the bottom. There is virtually no risk of hitting the curb in parking lots; the front and rear bumpers are sufficiently raised. The impressive ground clearance of the VAZ did not reduce the stability and controllability of the car.

Of course, the Lada Granta liftback needs some improvements. The trunk is large and spacious, with excellent access, but closing the rear door is not entirely convenient. It is also impossible to transport large items in the luggage compartment, which is caused by protruding body reinforcements, which are made for structural rigidity, which makes it possible to increase ground clearance. The high rear bumper of the car is endowed with another function, which, together with the aerodynamics of the body contours, reduces the level of contamination of the rear window of the car due to the distribution of air turbulence behind the car. Good ground clearance and swift body features give the Lada Granta liftback an attractive appearance, especially in profile.

VAZ designers managed to make a passenger car with such a body and small dimensions harmonious. The new VAZ attracts car owners with its beautiful and spacious body and lack of heaviness. Thanks to good ground clearance and small bumper slopes, the car has a light and attractive silhouette.

The Lada Granta car was developed specifically for domestic consumers, so during its development they tried to take into account all the “domestic” features of ownership. What are our features? That's right, roads, or rather, often the lack of them. Therefore, the car’s ground clearance is good, high!

A selection of accessories for LADA from AliExpress

Lada Granta is a compact budget B-class model, designed to replace the VAZ-2107. The machine entered production in 2011. The car is based on the Lada Kalina hatchback platform. Despite this, the car is radically different from the original car, but at the same time, the Grant has body features from the Kalina, if you look at it in profile. The Granta model is positioned as a more affordable car than the Lada Kalina. Thanks to Grant, AvtoVAZ completed production of the outdated “classics”, as well as the entire Samara family.

Lada Granta is one of the best-selling cars in Russia. The car is known in sedan and hatchback bodies. In addition, the Sport modification, created on the basis of the sedan of the same name, is also sold separately. This version features sporty factory settings and a more powerful engine.

Lada Granta is offered with 1.6-liter engines with 87 and 106 horsepower.

• Vitaly, Tyumen. I've been driving a Lada Granta since 2014. It turned out to be a decent car. At least this car is much better than the Samara that I have ever driven. My car has traveled 44 thousand kilometers. I am convinced of the merits of the car every time I get behind the wheel of a Granta. Firstly, I will note the comfortable fit, the presence of all the necessary options, a spacious five-seater interior and a large trunk. There is also a full-size spare tire. I have a version with a 1.6 liter engine. A car with such an engine accelerates vigorously up to 140 km/h, and then turns sour. In urban conditions, the dynamics are excellent, there is nothing to undermine directly. Fuel consumption is no more than 10 liters, taking into account city traffic jams. Ground clearance of 160 mm is enough for comfortable and safe driving on broken roads and rough terrain.
• Nikita, Tyumen. Lada Granta is my first car that I bought after graduating from driving school. I quickly adapted to the car, as I took driving courses on the Lada Kalina. Both cars are similar in handling and behavior, so there was no need to get used to them. But I noticed that the Granta handles a little better, it is more stable in turns and on a straight line, it needs less steering than in the Granta. Version with a 1.6 engine with 87 hp. With. – a basic modification, but still has a groovy character. In terms of acceleration dynamics, this car somewhat reminded me of the VAZ-2110, which I used to drive with a friend. With a ground clearance of 160 mm, you don’t have to worry about damage to the chassis, for example, when driving along country roads.
• Alexey, St. Petersburg. I used to drive a VAZ-2114, so I will only compare the Grant with this car. The Granta is clearly more powerful than the “fourteenth” - the power reserve is clearly felt. The ventilation system works as expected, but is noticeably noisy in the summer. The design of the car is simple and original, without any frills. It’s immediately obvious that this is a man’s car, not like my wife’s glamorous Nissan Juke. I am completely satisfied with the car - it is fast and comfortable, designed for active driving even on country roads. The suspension does not break through at all, the chassis is very durable. Fuel consumption for the version with a 1.6-liter engine is 10 liters per 100 km. The electrics work as expected, as do the brakes. Over 38 thousand kilometers, no major problems arose.
• Vova, Cheboksary. The car was purchased in 2012 to replace the 105th Volga of 2006, with a Chrysler engine. With the Volga, at first I hoped that the car would serve me for at least ten years, as was the case with my VAZ-2101, which served me faithfully for 20 long years. It didn’t work out that way with Vloga – she was always plagued by constant breakdowns. Apparently, the Chrysler engine put so much stress on domestic parts that they could not stand it and quickly fell apart. I hope this won't happen to Grant. The machine has been in use for six years now and nothing bad has happened to it. It suits me in terms of handling and even cross-country ability, despite the fact that it is an ordinary passenger car. Comfortable and energy-intensive suspension, tenacious brakes and adequate handling, a spacious interior and additional options - thanks to this we can hope that I have a truly modern car, similar to a foreign car. Its ground clearance is 160 mm – a very good indicator for both the city and country roads.
• Stepan, Moscow. I bought Granta immediately after passing the test drive. I don't know why, but I liked the car. I immediately realized that it was mine. Maybe I have such impressions because I previously drove a VAZ-2105 and GAZ 3110. The Granta is perceived as a well-built and well-built car, in which it is comfortable to be on any road. High cross-country ability (by passenger standards) is facilitated by a ground clearance of 160 mm, as well as high body overhangs, a soft and energy-intensive suspension, and a high-torque engine. Gasoline consumption is 8 liters in the city and on the highway. The build quality is a C grade, and there is always something creaking and rattling in the cabin. I hope that the car will work properly for at least another two years, and then I will sell it and buy a second generation Grant.
• Semyon, Stavropol. The car was purchased in 2015 in a liftback body. A model with such a body was needed - it is more practical, and it is more convenient to load things into it - due to the lower loading height. At the same time, in profile the car looks almost like a Grant sedan. The car is in top-end configuration, with a manual transmission. In my opinion, the version with a 1.6 engine and manual transmission is considered the most successful. The body of the liftback is quite narrow and high, which causes lateral rocking, as well as roll in corners. The car is not suitable for active driving, due to the soft suspension and ground clearance of 160 mm. The car is ideal for city driving. The cabin is spacious for all four passengers, including me, the driver. The car turned out to be very economical, and consumes within 9-10 liters per 100 km. The Granta's body is very original and unlike its competitors, for which special thanks - this is not a Daewoo Lanos.

The Lada Granta car was developed specifically for domestic consumers, so during its development they tried to take into account all the “domestic” features of ownership. What are our features? That's right, roads, or rather, often the lack of them. Therefore, the car’s ground clearance is good, high!

Ground clearance of Lada Granta sedan

The clearance of my Granta is 160 mm, and this is on 13th tires, on 14th it will be even higher

The factory data that AvtoVAZ indicates on its website states that the ground clearance of the Lada Grant in a sedan body is equal to:

Comparison with competitors

Kia Rio in the previous body (left) and Lada Granta (right)

Let's compare this figure with the main closest competitors in the price range: Renault Logan, Renault Sandero, Lada Priora, Lada Kalina, Kia Rio, Hyundai Solaris.

It should be remembered that foreign car manufacturers are cunning and measure ground clearance on an empty car, while AvtoVAZ indicates data when fully loaded. The clearance of the front bumper of an “empty” Lada Grant will be 175mm.

Ground clearance measurements from Za Rulem magazine

Operation in the city and beyond

Based on my operating experience, I will say that the ground clearance of 16 cm is more than enough for the Lada Granta.

My house has a separate parking lot, which is difficult to get into. For example, one of my previous cars, Ford Focus 2 pre-styling, climbed this obstacle with great difficulty.

Also, in terms of ground clearance, the Granta has one advantage - it is a B-class, which means it is smaller in size than its main competitors. We save on comfort, but get a plus in cross-country ability.

Going to the dacha, fishing (not too much in the bush), in the private sector, to the village - all this is within the capabilities of our hard worker Grant.

Ground clearance of Lada Granta on tires 205/50 R15

• from the ground to the edge of the front bumper - 225mm;
• from the ground to the very bottom (protruding part of the pallet) - 185 mm;
• to the edge of the welded threshold at the front wheel - 220 mm;
• also at the rear - 220;
• to the edge of the rear bumper - approximately 370 mm;
• to the lowest point between the rear wheels (beams) - 240 mm.

Increased ground clearance

We have already talked in detail about increasing the ground clearance in the material: “we are increasing the ground clearance on the Lada Granta, how much higher?”

There are ways to increase ground clearance. The most important of them:

wide profile tires

One of the most optimal tire sizes for Grant is 185/60 R15

The ground clearance of the Lada Granta is 20 cm at the lowest point of the body after installing the rear spacers

Read more about ways to increase ground clearance on the Lada Granta in this article.

There are no comrades for taste and color

Those who want a faster, more energetic and dynamic ride will choose a manual gearbox in order to always change gears on time and at will. Thus, the dynamics while driving and accelerating to 100 kilometers per hour will be very good.

Those who want a more comfortable, quiet ride without inconvenience will choose an automatic or robotic gearbox. However, with such a transmission, fuel consumption will be quite high, and trips will be expensive.

Therefore, for those people for whom gasoline is an unaffordable expense, a manual gearbox is proposed, since it is with it that fuel consumption will be the lowest. The ground clearance (clearance) of the Lada Grant is about 190 millimeters and will allow you to easily overcome significant bumps.

However, there will be no such comfort and convenience when driving. Still, you have to move your hands and do it constantly.

It is worth noting that the robotic gearbox also does not “eat up” a lot of excess fuel, since it has new firmware installed, which allows you to save a little. For an additional fee, you can reprogram the transmission and engine to reduce gas mileage. However, in this case you lose the warranty on the car. And this procedure can only be performed in non-specialized car tuning centers.

The result is worth it, say reviews from Lada-Granta owners. The liftback's ground clearance is 190 millimeters and allows it to go over bumps without spending a lot of fuel to overcome them.

Cross-country characteristics and ground clearance

Lada
Granta liftback
At the stage of developing the design of the newest model, it was clear that the world would see a Lada Granta liftback, ground clearance

which is adapted to our roads. A car came out, the back door of which opens up together with the window and which has the shape of a car (imitation of the shape of a small trunk). A new VAZ with such a body left the plant’s assembly line in May 2015 and immediately intrigued both auto professionals and lovers of the Russian automotive industry.

The design of the car in a new body actually began along with the creation of the base car. The time difference was about six months between when they began to create the appearance for the liftback. It was started by a Briton, vice-president of the Renault design center at the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. E. Grade managed to finish the car in the back of the car, but the liftback was completed by other specialists who paid quite a lot of attention to the ground clearance and cross-country ability of the car. Due to the release of the second generation of viburnum, this successful project was put on hold.

Differences

The most significant thing, of course, was that several new body types were added to the second generation. Now it is not only a sedan and a liftback, but also a hatchback and a station wagon. Previously, until 2022, only Lada Kalina had this type of body. Now the style and design of the car has become completely the same as that of this model, however, the name will be Granta. This was most likely done in order to expand the line of the flagship car. This will also help Lada Granta become more popular.

There are no differences at all at the back or sides - the most significant difference is at the front. Here is a new bumper, linings, and a slightly changed radiator grille. However, the rest remains entirely from Lada Kalina. In general, by and large, only the name has changed - from Kalina to Granta. On the technical side, the same engine remained, but it was increased by a couple of horsepower.

Features of body changes Lada Granta liftback

In addition to the configuration of external parts, a severe set of measures was carried out to improve the rigidity of the body structure, because structurally the car does not have a cross member on the rear pillars. Additional reinforcements have been added to the design in the form of braces and braces, which can be seen in the trunk. The thickness of the middle side members increased, reaching 1.8 mm instead of 1.5 mm, and a floor sheet 1.2 mm wide was also installed. Ultimately, the car became stiffer compared to the hatchback, and this made it possible to work on the ground clearance. The hardness made it possible to raise the car higher without significant losses in maneuverability and durability. In VAZ tests, such configurations gave the best results when driving on cobblestones, paving stones and other unsuitable roads.

The front bumper on the Veil has been improved, which does not catch curbs or the edges of potholes on the road and looks organic and modern. A pleasant detail can rightly be considered new mirrors with built-in turn indicators, which have undergone a number of design configurations and no longer rattle at high speeds. In addition to impressive ground clearance and good cross-country ability, the new VAZ received an impeccable shape for the transition of the roof strip to the trunk, combined with a window sill line ascending to the stern. Such decisions are focused on the aesthetic beauty of the car, which is designed to sharpen the enthusiasm of car owners for the new VAZ kid.

If you touch on the interior of the Grant , you shouldn’t find any fundamental differences from the base. This is caused by the unification of models and, as a consequence, a decrease in vehicle prices. The interior has the same cheap plastic, a multimedia system, standard and not very comfortable cup holders, a “sweeping” gear selector for a manual transmission, and a typical driver’s position.

There is no unit thermometer, the view of the rear window at the bottom is slightly limited. Although the Lada Granta

The liftback is quite, many of them are taken from the car, but the larger and more successful trunk, together with the increased ground clearance, distinguishes it from its older brother.

body dimensions and interior dimensions

The Lada Granta has a body length of 4260 mm and a width of 1700. This model was developed on the basis of the Kalina model. The engine power of this budget car ranges from 82 to 106 hp. ground clearance - 160 mm, and load capacity - 475 kg. The car quickly gained popularity among car enthusiasts, which is not surprising. The Lada Granta sedan is a four-door, front-wheel drive car with 5 seats. The engine is located transversely. With a total body length of just over 4000 mm, the interior dimensions are impressive. Compared to previous models, the Lada Granta is slightly higher, which makes it more comfortable when landing, but this does not affect the car’s stability on the road. The five-door liftback differs in body length - it is 4246 mm. At the same time, the wheelbase remained unchanged - 2476 mm. In addition to the spacious interior, one can note a fairly spacious trunk - in the Lada Granta sedan its volume is 480 liters.

Advantages of different modifications of Grants

Dimensions of Lada Granta Sport

The car is produced in three modifications - standard, norm and luxury. They are distinguished primarily by the size of the body. The changes affected the bumper, mirrors, and radiator grille. The luxury modification received door moldings, alloy wheels and fog lights.

The most powerful Grant accelerates to hundreds in just 12 seconds. The sound insulation of the cabin is not ideal, but it is good enough that at this speed the noise does not create discomfort. The developers of Grants took care of the safety of the car. The interior is equipped with inertial belts and an airbag for the driver. Standard and luxury models also have airbags for the front passenger.

The interior of the cabin, when upgrading the model class, is distinguished by various additions that make operating the car more comfortable and enjoyable. Even if these are small details, such as the trim of the interior trim, the container for glasses, the divided back of the rear seats, but this brings not only aesthetic pleasure, but also significant convenience. The climate system is included in the luxury model range, as is remote control of the door locks and trunk of the car.

Heating the front seats will be useful, especially in latitudes with harsh climates. And the built-in audio system will help set the mood - everyone will want to take their favorite music with them on the road. Especially if the road ahead is long. It is worth noting that long distances are not a problem for Granta. This is a durable car and quite economical - fuel consumption for the extra-urban cycle is about 6 liters per 100 km, and for the combined cycle - only 7.5. Despite its dimensions, the car is maneuverable and in urban conditions consumes only 8.5-9.5 liters per 100 km.

The Lada Granta meets the expectations of car enthusiasts - a compact body, but a roomy interior, a low price, but a reliable car. This whole set of characteristics served as the key to people's love and high popularity of the car.

Loading.

Ground clearance of Lada Granta

Clearance

of a vehicle is the distance from the flat surface on which the vehicle is placed to its bottom dimension along the center line.
High ground clearance provides better vehicle cross-country ability, but reduces stability on the highway. In order to figure out what the real ground clearance of the Lada Grant liftback is
and what capabilities it provides, you should check
the ground clearance under different external factors and loads, and also compare it with a sedan.
The Grant operating manual contains technical characteristics, the values ​​of which are the same for any configuration:

• ground clearance at full load under the engine crankcase is at least 160 mm for cars with a manual transmission and 156 mm for versions with an automatic transmission.
• Ground clearance at full load under the gearbox housing is at least 160 mm for manuals, but significantly less for automatics - 145 mm.

Read:

The clearance of the Lada liftback, according to the values ​​declared by the manufacturer, is slightly different from the sedan:

• ground clearance at full load under the engine crankcase is at least 160 mm, for the luxury version with VAZ-21126 and automatic transmission - 135 mm.
• ground clearance at full load under the gearbox housing of the liftback is at least 167 mm (standard and luxury versions with engine 11186), 180 mm (standard and luxury with engine 21127), 160 mm (standard equipped with power unit 21116), 169 mm ( norm and luxury with VAZ-21126).

Considering that the total weight of the car is 400 kg more than the curb weight and most often the car will not be loaded with this weight, the ground clearance of the VAZ with the new body will be much higher than that stated by the manufacturer. In practice, the distance from the road surface to the engine protection reaches 200 mm when the car is equipped and with two passengers in the cabin, while the height of the front bumper is 250 mm. The next representative of the VAZ family, the 2nd generation Kalina, has similar characteristics.

What types of car headlight adjusters are there?

Lada granta liftback technical specifications, dimensions of lada granta liftback.
Load capacity of Lada Granta liftback. liftback Lada Granta trunk dimensions The operating principle of these devices is based on changing the installation angle of the headlights depending on the tilt of the body. Structurally, the quasi-static corrector consists of the following components:

• two frame (body) position sensors, which are connected to the vehicle axles using special rods;
• actuators connected to the headlight housing;
• electronic control unit with indicators;
• key (switch) for manual headlight leveling.

The operating principle of a dynamic corrector is similar to quasi-static devices. Its main difference is in the electronic layout, which is present not only in the control unit, but also in the actuators. This design ensures a faster response by the angle of inclination of the optics to changes in the position of the body. Instant headlight adjustments are made at the slightest deviation.

To duplicate the operation of automation, the design of modern autocorrectors provides an electromechanical corrector. If necessary, the driver can manually adjust the angle of the headlights from inside the car.

What do high ground clearance and cross-country ability of a liftback give?

Small slopes of the front and rear bumpers and high ground clearance

provide the
Lada Granta with a liftback body:

• high cross-country ability;
• stability at high speeds;
• confidence when parking;
• safety of the bottom of the car;
• good aerodynamics of the lower part of the car.

Not every crossover has such cross-country qualities. With a new VAZ car you can safely drive onto country roads and quiet places in search of beautiful scenery. The suspension is energy-intensive and behaves well on bumps and bumps, the car overcomes rough terrain well, some delays can only be caused by ordinary road tires, which slip on the grass. The light steering and maneuverability of the car have proven themselves well. Control when driving on the highway is quite informative. Good ground clearance

allows you not to worry when driving in urban conditions; even large potholes on the road do not lead to impacts on the bottom.
There is virtually no risk of hitting the curb in parking lots; the front and rear bumpers are sufficiently raised. The impressive ground clearance
of the VAZ did not reduce the stability and controllability of the car.

Of course, the Lada Granta has a liftback

some points need to be improved.
The trunk is large and spacious, with excellent access, but closing the rear door is not entirely convenient. It is also impossible to transport large items in the luggage compartment, which is caused by protruding body reinforcements, which are made for structural rigidity, which makes it possible to increase ground clearance . The high rear bumper of the car is endowed with another function, which, together with the aerodynamics of the body contours, reduces the level of contamination of the rear window of the car due to the distribution of air turbulence behind the car. Good ground clearance and swift body features give the Lada Granta liftback an attractive appearance, especially in profile.
VAZ designers managed to make a passenger car with such a body and small dimensions harmonious. The new VAZ attracts car owners with its beautiful and spacious body and lack of heaviness. Thanks to good ground clearance and small bumper slopes, the car has a light and attractive silhouette.

Bright appearance

I haven’t heard any bad reviews about Vesta’s appearance: a clear design success! Steve Mattin managed to successfully “grow” the front part in the same style onto the Granta, without changing the body when viewed from other angles. And you can’t tell, looking at the car in profile, that this is a 15-year-old model (Kalina went into production in 2004).

The “off-road” surroundings add to the attractiveness: wheel arch linings, wide moldings, bumpers with silver linings and roof rails that harmonize with them. The interior, according to the established cross-Lada tradition, can be chosen in a classic black and gray or a catchy black and orange design.

In our review of the new Lada Granta station wagon 2018-2019 you will find out the configuration and prices of the car, its technical characteristics, and also find photos and video test drives, but for now a short excursion about the appearance of the model.

At the Moscow Motor Show 2022, a presentation of the updated Lada Granta family of cars took place, which, in addition to the already existing sedan and liftback, also included a hatchback and station wagon.

The appearance of the cargo-passenger Granta in the model range is due to the discontinuation of production of the Lada Kalina SW station wagon. Sales of such a “barn” started at the end of August 1918.

Options and prices Lada Granta station wagon 2020

The Lada Granta SW station wagon is sold in Russia in six trim levels: Standart, Classic, Classic Optima, Comfort, Luxe and Luxe Prestige. The price of the Lada Granta station wagon 2022 in a new body varies from 471,900 to 659,800 rubles.

Specifications

Below are the main technical characteristics of the new Lada Granta SW station wagon for the Russian market.

The table shows the main parameters: overall dimensions, fuel consumption (gasoline), ground clearance (clearance), mass (weight), trunk and tank volume, engines, gearboxes, drive type, dynamic characteristics, etc.

Engine and transmission

Engine and transmission

The new Lada Granta 2022 station wagon is built on the same front-wheel drive platform as the regular sedan. This means that the engine is located transversely, with an independent MacPherson-type suspension installed at the front and a semi-independent beam at the rear.

The car reaches a length of 4,118 mm, the center distance is 2,476 mm. The width and height of the model are 1,700 and 1,538 mm, respectively. Depending on the selected configuration, the car weighs from 1,125 to 1,160 kg.

By default, the trunk volume is 355 liters, but it can be increased to 670 liters by folding the backrests of the rear sofa. The cargo compartment has an “underground” where there is a full-fledged spare wheel and a set of tools. Note that the trunk lock now has a button and an electromechanical drive, although in the basic versions you still have to open it with the key.

The stated ground clearance of the Grant station wagon is 160 millimeters. Ventilated disc brakes are installed on the front wheels, while simpler drum brakes are installed on the rear wheels. The line of power units is represented by three 1.6-liter gasoline engines. The base engine is an eight-valve timing engine that produces 87 hp. and 140 Nm.

Next comes a 16-valve engine with a power of 98 horsepower (145 Nm), and top-end versions have a similar engine, but with 106 “horses” and 148 Nm of torque. All versions of the Lada Granta SW station wagon are front-wheel drive, and the gearboxes are different.

Good decision

The interior of the Lada Priora, whose ground clearance required a fairly high landing, was developed in the Italian city of Turin, in the Cancerano engineering design studio. The interior is dominated by the modern style of automotive interior design. It was possible to eliminate the shortcomings of past design developments in the interior of the 110th model. The exterior design has also undergone changes. The overly accentuated border zone between the roof and the rest of the body along the C-pillar line was abolished. The rear wheel arches of the Lada Priora have acquired a more aesthetic appearance. The solid strip of rear lights, which looked somewhat ridiculous on a compact car, was canceled; instead, two vertically developed lights stood along the edges of the trunk lid, visually expanding the exterior. In general, the designers managed to move away from the common image of an “antelope in position,” which was what people called the “ten” as soon as it appeared on Russian roads. And the LadaPriora, whose technical characteristics, ground clearance, wheelbase, dimensions and body contours indicated that a successful solution had been found in terms of the main parameters, did not raise any doubts in anyone.

New Lada Granta liftback 2022: photo and price, specifications

The Moscow Motor Show was the place where the long-awaited restyling of one of AvtoVAZ’s popular cars, the Lada Granta (liftback) 2022, was shown. The previous version of the car was a huge success among young people, as it looked decent and cost a little.

The new model will be better in many respects. Here the exterior will become more stylish, the interior will change quite a lot, but the characteristics, unfortunately, will remain at the same low level.

Reviews from Lada Granta liftback owners

Somehow it turned out that I bought this!))) In general, I have complaints about the steering wheel, brakes and the howling gearbox... But in general it’s good for getting your butt to work and back. In short, we are getting used to the behavior of the car... The plans are to throw out the jeep-like struts and add controllability with the help of spacers, etc., and then we’ll see.

I’ve been driving a Granta liftback for more than a year and a half, I always try to use good spare parts in case of repairs, but consider breakdowns a rarity for us, considering that I drive it shamelessly both on business and at work. I think I'm constantly driving, but the Lada holds up well! In general, I consider my grant to be the best option for the Russian automobile industry and the indicators are obvious. So much on the road and still be the same peppy car!

As for noise insulation: you can communicate with a person on the street directly from your car, and it doesn’t matter whether your doors are open or not. The ground clearance is good, but the threshold on the driver’s side will not agree with me (jammed). In general, the car is ok, I have never owned foreign cars, I have nothing more to say.

A beautiful and practical spacious liftback body. A robot is just a fairy tale, tearing the jaws of those who scold it is better than mechanics and more practical than an automatic machine. And in traffic jams, and in slush, and through mud - the car simply becomes universal. The engine is a separate issue, the 27 engine with 106 horses confidently accelerates the car to maximum speed, which is very helpful on the highway, and you can also very confidently use it for aggressive driving around the city!

The high ground clearance of the car allows you to ignore a large number of Pripyat on the road. The machine is very maintainable, spare parts cost pennies, it can be repaired with a dozen tools, almost on the knee. Assembly on the body without any complaints, while disassembling the interior - I was amazed at how all the wires were secured, everything was in harnesses, and in other fastening materials, in general the car is above all praise.

For an additional fee, you can install a sixteen-valve modification, which is capable of showing a return of 98 or 106 forces, which is much better. For the initial engine, only five-speed manual transmission is available, and for more powerful versions there is also a four-speed automatic. Forces are always transferred to the front axle of the car. A test drive of the car showed a slight decrease in fuel consumption.

Appearance

And in profile, the Lada Granta liftback looks much more harmonious than a sedan. First of all, due to the sloping roof line and original rear doors: the designers raised the window sill line and lowered the top line slightly. As a result, the silhouette of the sedan against the backdrop of the liftback began to look so unsightly that the owners of 4-door Grants, keenly interested in the new product, shook their heads dejectedly. Like, if they had known that the five-door would be so interesting, they would have held off on buying a sedan.

In addition, the liftback received original exterior mirrors. Turn signal repeaters are now built into them, and the mirror lenses (as well as the side windows) become less dirty. At the rear, the new product is decorated with more compact lights and a fog light built into the bumper. It is curious that the basic configuration of the car does not have a wiper. And that's why.

The angle of the rear part of the body was carefully worked out from an aerodynamic point of view. At the same time, VAZ designers assure that the sloping rear window in rainy weather is perfectly cleaned by air flows. That is why the basic “Standard” configuration does not have a rear windshield wiper. However, it is installed on cars in the “Norma” and “Lux” versions.

Interior decoration has always been a headache and the main problem of all AvtoVAZ cars. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to find any fundamental differences from the previous version of the car. The new Lada Granta liftback 2022 model year can be finished exclusively with fabrics and plastic. There are also squeaking sounds when driving on uneven roads, and all joints are strongly felt when you run your finger over them. The problem is with multimedia. Without additional payment there will be nothing here except the simplest music.

Reviews

Conclusion Despite a number of negative reviews addressed to the Lada Granta Lift back, the model turned out to be a success. It’s a plus for developers and designers; this is a big breakthrough in domestic mechanical engineering. Those who do not share the point of view should purchase another brand. In the budget price segment it is difficult to find a better offer.

Rear suspension

The rear suspension is equipped with reinforced springs, which, together with hydraulic shock absorbers, give stability and stability to the entire pendulum structure, thereby ensuring good vehicle handling. As a result of the successful balance of the entire chassis, the Lada Priora, whose ground clearance of 145 mm implied the development of dynamics, was able to achieve high speed indicators. On the highway, the maximum speed of the car is over 180 km/h. The VAZ Priora accelerates to 100 km/h in 11 seconds, which is a good result for a car of this class. The model's CO 2 emissions are minimal due to the use of a magnetic-strictive catalyst, which reduces the CO 2 content in the exhaust to Euro-3 and Euro-4 standards.
