✅ Lada 219410 Kalina station wagon

Good day, dear readers and guests of the Otzovik website! We bought a VAZ 219410 Lada Kalina station wagon

in September 2022. And now we have been driving it for 10 months. It's time to write a review about this car, its pros and cons. The mileage is currently 19,000 kilometers. Not a little, because we drive it 40 km to work every day. The overall impression of the car is good. She looks stylish. The latest model is made to look like a foreign car. It doesn't look big, it's neat, but the interior is quite spacious. The trunk is also roomy. The landing is normal, it drives freely on a country road. My husband is an avid fisherman, so we go fishing. My husband is happy)) Beautiful front view. The side mirrors have beautiful lacquered black frames.

Good view of the front glass. Beautiful headlights combined with a high front end. Back view.

And a few more photos of the interior.

Now the general characteristics of the Lada Kalina Station wagon of this configuration, purchased by us. Engine 1.6 liters, 87 hp. With. Our car has driver and front passenger airbags, the rear seats have armrests, ISOFIX mounts are provided for child seats, an immobilizer and security alarm are installed, anti-lock brakes with an auxiliary braking system and an electronic brake force distribution system, which is very important for traffic safety . An on-board computer is installed where you can see the outside air temperature, fuel consumption and remaining fuel, the current time, there are buttons to turn on and off the cruise control function and more. The car has electric power steering and a function for adjusting the height of the front seat belts. An air filter is installed in the cabin. The rear window and side windows were immediately slightly tinted. The front doors have electric windows, and there is also a heated function for the outside mirrors and rear window. And we have air conditioning, and all new Kalina models already have air conditioners installed. A spare steel wheel 14 is also included. All this pleasure cost us 488,500 rubles. Additionally, for an additional fee we purchased original VAZ floor mats for Kalina, seat covers are also original,

additionally protected the body from corrosion and installed a radio – Car radio Pioneer MVH-08UBG – High-quality sound and design). I really like the seat belt height adjustment feature. Previously, on previous cars, the belt was always a little high and personally, the front passenger, got in the way. Now installed conveniently and comfortably. And, of course, air conditioning in the car! With our heat, driving without it was very hot, stuffy and difficult to endure. Now there is a very pleasant atmosphere in the cabin during trips. There were some downsides too. The lock on the glove compartment door inside the cabin is broken. Since the car is under warranty, we are trying to negotiate to have it replaced free of charge. At this stage this is the only negative so far. And I won’t lower my rating for it. We hope that in the future our Kalinka will not let us down and will make us happy)) We had a foreign car Ford, although not new. We were tired of buying expensive spare parts. There was our ten. It was easier with spare parts. Therefore, we decided to opt for a car from a Russian manufacturer, because you need a lot of money for a new good foreign car, but this car is more or less affordable and does not consume a lot of gasoline. Considering everything written above, I recommend paying attention to the new Lada Kalina model. I wish everyone a pleasant shopping experience and thank you for your attention!

The valves do not bend on engines such as:

1.5 8-cl. and 1.6 8-cl. A power unit with a smaller volume was installed on earlier versions of cars. And 1.6 for later ones, including Kalina too. Everything is fine here and no timing belt breaks are scary, since the pistons have deep recesses for the valves, which are quite enough to avoid a collision.
1.6 16-valve modification 21124. This engine was installed on the VAZ 2112 at one time and was in quite popular demand, as it was both powerful and reliable in this regard.

To at least somehow reduce the likelihood of getting into expensive repairs, be careful when choosing components and spare parts. Change the belt in a timely manner and before purchasing it, carefully inspect it for the presence of a seam, and if there is one, it is better to discard it. And don’t forget about the videos, which should also be of high quality.

Configurations of Lada Kalina 2

A car package is a car that already has a certain set of options installed. Most often, one car model has 3-4 different configurations.

The simplest configuration contains the least number of options and is usually called the basic configuration (in our case, it is the Kalina 2 “standard” configuration). Accordingly, the price of such a car is the lowest.
As a rule, most often people buy cars with medium trim levels (in our case, it’s Kalina 2 “norm” trim level).
The most complete package is called top-end (in our case it is Kalina 2 luxury package), it includes the maximum number of options. Accordingly, the cost of such a car will be the highest.

All Kalina 2 configurations include the following options:

Safety : inertial seat belts (2 front/3 rear); height adjustment of front seat belts; larger vacuum brake booster – 9″; ventilated disc brakes on the front wheels; electric headlight level control; immobilizer; side lights combined with daytime running lights (DRL).

Car Lada Kalina

LADA Kalina is a domestic car of the second group of the small class. The Lada Kalina car has been produced since 2004 by AvtoVAZ LLC.

Work on creating the car first began in 1993. Then developments were carried out, drawings were made and shortcomings of the revolutionary new model were sought out. In 1998, the car received the name Lada Kalina. A year later, the plant produced a hatchback, in 2000 a sedan, and in 2001 a station wagon.

Conclusion

The Lada Kalina 2 (2192, 2194) engine has several options. Thus, numerous variants of power units were installed on vehicles, which were developed for other models produced by AvtoVAZ. The engine has a simple design and is quite easy to maintain and repair.

The choice of oil for the Kalina 2 engine (2192, 2194) is a very sensitive issue, since it determines how long and efficiently the main unit of the car will work. Therefore, it is recommended to fill in the fluid recommended by the manufacturer.

Second generation

On May 16, 2013, the second generation of the car was released:

Lada Kalina II station wagon 219410, sales began in the fall of 2013;
Lada Kalina Cross cars began to be produced on August 18, 2014, sales started on December 7;
Lada Kalina Sport appeared on the market in August 2014;
The popular hatchback Lada Kalina II (219210) has been produced since May 2013; unlike the station wagon, sales began approximately 2-3 months earlier, in July.

Features of Lada Kalina

Many car enthusiasts were skeptical about the presentation of the Lada Kalina. It was not easy to convince our people that the domestic auto industry is capable of creating a worthy competitor to foreign analogues. According to some, the new model is just a modified body of the “tens”. Is it really?

It is true that the Lada Kalina and the “ten” have a lot in common. But the desire to make a car that would meet the requirements of the West forced manufacturers to use completely new technologies that had not previously been used in the CIS automotive industry. One of the goals of creating Kalina was to adjust it to the state standards of many European countries.

Lada Kalina is perhaps the first Russian car whose safety complies with EuroNCAP (European Committee for the Assessment of Automotive Safety). The most important parts of the machine are made of steel, which has a sufficient reserve of dynamic resistance. This allows the car to withstand impacts without significant damage.

Anti-corrosion protection, which was improved in Togliatti, allows us to guarantee the successful operation of the car for up to 6 years. 49% of the body is made of galvanization and is treated with a special protective paint. This is 20% higher than the VAZ 2110.

The electrical equipment of the Lada Kalina has been improved with a new generator, new wiring harnesses and sealed connectors. The car's battery is protected by a thermal cover. At the same time, there is enough energy to ignite the engine even in 30-degree frost.

The instruments on the panel have high precision characteristics. Lamp signaling devices have been replaced with modern LED ones. The window control unit, created using new mechanisms and technologies and eliminating the possibility of injury when closing the window, is located on the driver's armrest. The on-board computer is superior to the “tens” analogue.

What engine troubles await Kalina owners?

This problem is associated with several reasons, such as jamming of the pump and tension rollers, wear or poor quality of the timing belt.
When the timing belt breaks, the camshaft stops in the position in which the break occurred, and the crankshaft, continuing to rotate, pushes the pistons towards the open valves. As a result, they collide, leading to damage to the valves and pistons.

Such a collision can damage not only the pistons, but also the cylinder walls and connecting rods. In this case, car repairs will be very expensive and time-consuming.

On some types of VAZ car engines, this was avoided. In such engines, special recesses for the valves are cast on the pistons, so if the belt breaks, a collision does not occur.

Several types of engines were installed on the Lada Kalina. Let's look at which of them are dangerous and which are safe and why the valve on Kalina bends when the belt breaks.

Additional benefits

Let's look at some of the advantages of the Lada Kalina, which do not go unnoticed.

The new engine of the Lada Kalina meets the high environmental standards of Europe. It is equipped with a modern crankshaft and a modernized cylinder head.
Since the size and weight of the Lada Kalina is slightly smaller than the “ten”, the layout of its hood was slightly changed. For example, the generator of a Kalina car is fixed at a minimum distance from the cylinder block. The belt is tensioned by a roller. Moreover, the thermostat is contained in a small-sized housing.
A braked trailer capable of carrying a load of 900 kg can be connected to the Lada Kalina. In this case, fuel consumption will be 10.6 l/100 km.
Clear fixation of the gear lever improves gear shifting diagonally, for example from second to third. A locking device has been introduced into the shift mechanism to help prevent accidental reverse gear. The presence of an idle damper reduces the noise level when the engine is running.
The front wheel drive is equipped with a dirt protection system.
For the first time, conical springs were used on a Lada car.
Electromechanical power steering provides maximum ease when maneuvering in tight conditions. The steering force of a stationary vehicle is reduced to 3.5 kg. The height of the steering column can be adjusted.
The brake system of the Lada Kalina is equipped with a vacuum booster with a diaphragm of increased diameter, which makes it easy to operate the pedal.

Lada Kalina

Small shoals still showed up. It took a couple of dozen opening and closing cycles for the rear right door lock to stop jamming. The trunk seal will not bend in any way - in order for the lid to close without force, you will have to lift the lock bracket. Although the gear shift mechanism has become better, the lower stages are still engaged with more force than we would like. The generally good sound insulation allows for the hum of budget Kama-217 tires, the howling of the transmission, the clicking of relays when using electrical equipment and the whining of the Korean electric power steering. And when driving at low speeds on an uneven road, an annoying gurgling sound is the windshield washer fluid splashing in the reservoir...

Vehicle equipment

The basic version of the Lada Kalina is equipped with a 1.6 liter 8-valve engine with a power of 87 hp. With.

The gearbox has 5 modernized stages. The three main types differ from each other in details and additional devices.

The standard version is equipped with a seat belt indicator. Even the rear seat headrests differ from other VAZ products, which makes the Lada Kalina the most comfortable car.
The standard set is manufactured in two versions. The first has one airbag for the driver, the second has two airbags for the safety of the driver and the front passenger. Heated front seats and Panasonic climate control make your stay in the car convenient and comfortable. The audio system of both versions is equipped with a Handsfree system, a USB port and Bluetooth.
The luxury package offers 7 manufacturing options at once. The buyer can choose engine power, which varies from 98 to 106 hp. With. The gearbox can be either automatic or manual. In addition to the standard modification elements, the luxury has fog lights, door moldings, electrically adjustable exterior mirrors and a multimedia system with a 7-inch touch screen. Some models are equipped with a heated windshield, traction control and navigation systems, as well as rain and light sensors.

The demand for the Lada Kalina model range is growing every day. Motorists not only from the countries of the former Union, but also from many other countries have already appreciated the superiorities of Kalina and use it on their roads.

A few tips on how not to find out if the valves on Kalina are bent and not end up with expensive repairs

In order to try to avoid damage to the gas distribution mechanisms, it is necessary to promptly replace the timing belt.

It is not enough to change one belt. Be sure to change the tension rollers along with it and monitor the condition of the pump. If necessary, it must also be replaced.

Never skimp on spare parts. Choose your timing belt carefully. It should not have any irregularities, stripes or seams.

When purchasing a water pump and tension rollers, choose only well-known and trusted manufacturers.

By following these simple rules, you will never know whether the valves on a Kalina car are bent, and how much it costs to overhaul the engine.

I would like to hope that this article will help to avoid problems, usually associated with neglect of the technical condition of the car. With the correct attitude to the operation of the elements of the gas distribution mechanism, such problems should not arise.
