The trunk is an important element that tips the scales in one direction or another when deciding to buy a car. Especially a family vehicle, when it is necessary to regularly transport items such as a baby stroller or bicycle, or a large supply of groceries for the dacha. All this was taken into account when creating one of the most popular domestic car models - Lada X Ray. An important characteristic of the luggage compartment is not only its volume, but also the ease of loading and unloading, the possibility of transformation, and the fixation of the lid.
Trunk characteristics
The new AvtoVAZ model Lada X Ray compares favorably with other cars of this manufacturer not only in appearance, but also in its impressive size:
- the length of the car is 416.4 cm,
- height 157 cm,
- width 175.4 cm.
With such dimensions, the designers were able to create a large, functional trunk without much difficulty:
- volume 376 l,
- length 790 mm,
- 900 mm wide
- 400 mm high to the luggage rack.
An important parameter is the opening of the lid, which determines the dimensions of the transported goods. In Lada X Rey it is quite impressive: it is 80 cm high and 90 cm wide.
The X-Ray trunk lid can be easily opened using an electric drive; you just need to press the lock button. The tower is 181.5 cm above the ground, which allows most people to easily walk under it without fear of being hit. The absence of a rear trunk wall makes loading and unloading the car very convenient.
If you need to transport cargo up to 170 centimeters in length, you can easily increase the capacity of the luggage compartment by folding the rear seat backs, and its useful volume will increase to 1,207 liters. With the rear seats folded down, the trunk can easily be used to sleep two people of average height, who will be quite comfortable. If you need to transport a large amount of cargo, you can fold the right front seat, which increases the useful volume to 1,300 liters.
For ease of use of the trunk space, a raised floor is provided. If necessary, it can be easily removed, and the car owner has access to the lower floor covering and spare tire. Eye bolts are installed at the corners of the raised floor, serving as fastening elements for rubber halyards, nets and other systems designed to secure cargo.
Luggage compartment features
The X-Ray trunk is quite functional and has a number of features:
- A double floor system has been implemented, which includes an additional movable base with fastenings in the corners. You can tie ropes to them to better secure the load.
- The trunk itself is equipped with a socket (12 volts) and standard lighting.
- Its cover opens using an electric lock after pressing the button in the rear license plate niche.
- The flat floor and wheel arches do not take up cargo space, allowing you to make the most of its volume.
- The spare wheel is stored in a niche under the floor covering.
- The height of the raised lid is 1815 mm, which allows you to comfortably walk under it.
- It is possible to install a convenient plastic organizer under the trunk shelf, designed for compact storage of things.
- To make loading easier, you can purchase a special pad for the lower part of the trunk opening, which will protect the car from minor damage and scratches.
The Lada XRAY is an excellent option for an inexpensive crossover; you shouldn’t expect huge luggage compartment capacity from it. At the same time, the volume of the car allows you to store the most basic things in it: a spare tire, a set of tools, and some personal items. With the passenger sofa folded, it is possible to carry long items, such as building materials or skis.
Options for modifying the luggage compartment of a car
The trunk of the Lada X Rey, despite its impressive size, can be significantly improved by installing additional accessories, such as organizers, which can be purchased at spare parts stores. The most popular organizer for X Rey is the one that is installed under the trunk shelf. It serves to store things and prevent them from randomly rolling while the car is moving. The organizer itself does not take up space, allowing you to easily reach your packed items. It is easy to install and remove, as it has a simple plastic design.
Interior, engine and wheels
The trunk size in the standard seat position is 361 liters. You will be a little more pleased with its maximum volume: 1514 liters. Freight transport can be carried out on this crossover. In this case, you will need to fold all the seats, including the passenger seat, at the will of the driver. If you limit yourself to only the second row of seats, then you will have to be content with 1207 liters.
Considering the focus of the Lada X-Ray Cross towards increasing cross-country ability, the trunk looks quite decent. For most city residents, 361 liters is enough for trips to the store and to work. It’s another matter for rural residents seeking to purchase transport for transporting vegetables - LADA XRAY Cross is a slightly different type of transport.
Wheel size: 215/50 R17 (91, H). Given the wide arches, the wheels on the R17 look consistent with the crossover. Most drivers don't even need to try to accommodate larger wheels, which may seem like overkill. This is the case when your car leaves the factory without flaws in the exterior, where every element has already been thought out.
Car dimensions
The new Lada X-RAY boasts a width of as much as 175.4 cm, a height of 157 cm, and a length of 416.4 cm. These dimensions gave engineers the opportunity to work a little with the new size of the luggage compartment. It can now hold about 376 liters, and if the rear seatbacks are folded down, the compartment can increase to a whopping 1,380 liters.
To some this may not seem like such a large capacity, but if you pay attention to the dimensions of the car, then all doubts immediately disappear.
Cabin size and load capacity
Considering the rather small dimensions of the Lada X-Ray body, the interior dimensions are also not particularly spacious. There is quite enough space for the driver and front passenger, but the rear seat is a moot point.
As for the height of the seats, it is completely the same for both the rear and the two front ones, and is equal to 935 mm. The seat itself has slightly different sizes. The rear seat reaches a length of 460 mm, and the front seat is slightly longer - 480 mm.
There is simply enough for the legs of the driver and front passenger in the Lada Xray. If you change the position of the seat by lowering the backrest, you can lie down on it, almost the entire length. But for rear passengers, their feet will constantly rest against the back of the front seats. This is one of the few disadvantages of the Lada X-Ray model.
As for the carrying capacity, you shouldn’t expect anything out of the ordinary. Even though the Lada Xray is a full-fledged crossover, its load capacity is only 445 kg, including passengers. But the width of the rear seat can easily accommodate 3 people of average build. Also, by the number of headrests, you can determine that the cabin is designed for 5 people. Thus, if we subtract the weight of 5 passengers, then approximately 100 - 150 kg remain for the cargo, which is quite enough. Of course, in the Lada X-Ray, it is also possible to increase space by folding the rear seats. Then the weight of 3 passengers automatically turns into the weight of additional cargo. The same goes for volume. With the rear seats folded down, the luggage compartment volume is 376 liters, and with the rear seats folded down it is 1382 liters. This difference is quite significant, and still adds value to the Lada Xray car.
As the volume of the luggage compartment increases, and accordingly the weight of additional cargo, it is worth considering that the ground clearance will also decrease. Therefore, it is not recommended to drive off-road with a loaded vehicle.
Also, I would like to pay special attention to the size of the luggage compartment opening. The developers of the Lada Xray tried their best to improve its roomy qualities and made a fairly spacious opening. The trunk opening width is 975 mm and the height is 740 mm. The height of the threshold is a little disappointing - 770 mm. This is too much for the loading dock, and it will be very difficult to fit heavy cargo into the luggage compartment.

Difference in trunk size with other cars
According to official data, the trunk of the Lada X Ray will be identical in size to the Lada Kalina model; now it has become much larger in capacity, amounting to 376 liters. If we compare it with other car brands, it is 4 liters more for Renault Sandero, but 65 liters less for Kia Rio, and 46 liters less for Hyundai Solaris.
In any case, the spaciousness of the trunk makes it possible to put a spare tire, tools and many other useful things that you may need both on the road and on vacation.
For many, the trunk is considered perhaps the most important parameter. After all, the comfort of travel, the success of going out into nature or simply transporting things largely depends on its spaciousness. It’s not for nothing that buyers of the Lada X-Ray carefully inspect the luggage compartment of the hatchback, assessing its convenience, asking the manager about its volume, etc. d.

What can we say about the trunk of the Lada X-Ray?
Suspension
The suspension dimensions of the Lada Xray model are slightly smaller than those of its analogue, the Renault Sandrero. Of course, such a difference does not make any significant difference in cross-country ability, as well as in handling, but visually it is a noticeable difference, especially when looking at the wheel arches.
The width between the front wheels of the domestic crossover is slightly smaller than the width between the rear wheels. This arrangement of wheels was made specifically to improve the SUV's cross-country ability in mud and marshy areas. The size of the front track of the car is 1482 mm, and the rear one is 1513 mm. If we compare these dimensions with the Renault crossover, its front track measures 1560 mm, and the rear track measures 1567 mm.
The distance between the front and rear axles (wheelbase) of the Lada X-Ray model is also slightly smaller than that of its analogue and is equal to 2592 mm. On the Sandero, the wheelbase is slightly larger - 2673 mm.
As for ground clearance, the Lada Xray is also slightly inferior to Renault. The ground clearance of the domestic SUV is 195 mm. This ground clearance is quite sufficient for good off-road performance, and also greatly affects the appearance of the car, bringing it as close as possible to the urban type. But the Sandero has a slightly higher ground clearance - 210 mm, and in the city this car looks a little out of place.
Dimensions of LADA XRay
Lada X-Ray parameters are average:
Length – 4,164 mm.
Height – 1,570 mm.
Width – 1,764 mm.
Wheelbase – 2,592 mm.
The dimensions of the Lada X-Ray are quite at the class B level.
The characteristics, frankly, are not the most impressive. In particular, it is inferior in length and width to its closest competitor, the French Sandero Stepway, by 84 mm and 7 mm, respectively. And the wheelbase is 3 mm shorter. But in terms of height, the LADA XRay wins with an advantage of 48 mm. It is with an eye to the small dimensions that the trunk volume of the Lada X-Ray takes on new meaning.
Price of Lada XRAY Cross on the secondary market

Trunk LADA XRay
Its volume is 361 liters. Not much, but with the rear seat folded down it increases to 1,207 liters. If, in addition, you expand the front passenger seat, you can achieve a volume of 1,514 liters, and you can also freely place long items such as skis, profiles, etc. inside. This is facilitated by the split back of the rear sofa, which folds out in a 60x40 proportion.
With such a trunk and sofa, transporting long items is as easy as shelling pears!
However, volume is not everything. Equally important is the ease of use of the available space. And here AvtoVAZ engineers rose to the occasion! The interior of the luggage compartment has a perfectly flat floor, and the wheel arches do not protrude inward. This means that the entire volume will be used for its intended purpose and there will be no empty corners left inside. The top is limited by a plastic shelf, but if necessary, it can be dismantled and belongings can be placed under the glass itself, although in this case you need to be careful not to break it.
