The sales of the new model of the Lada granta car of the VAZ company started in 2011. The novelty has replaced the classic seven and the failed Kalina, having caused an agiotage demand from buyers.
Description and reviews of Lada Grant
The new car is made on the basis of Lada sedanKalina with a modified front and rear parts. As a result, the car became a little longer. In front are the original rectangular headlights and fog lamps, as well as a falshradiator grille with a horizontal bar arranged under the chrome. In front of Lada Grant (reviews of owners confirm this fact) is a little boring and can not boast of originality and originality. Behind the car is similar to the French budgetary Logan.
The sedan has a high stern with a large trunk,here the designers tried, having performed the smooth flow of the trunk into the aerodynamic bumper. Rear lighting is quite attractive, however, in rainy weather it sweats.
Lada granta: reviews and interior design
Car buyers say that the salonattracts its simplicity, but in comparison with Kalina everything is done much better and more pleasantly. The plastic of the doors is harsh, but it does not ring. In general, all the interior elements are made neatly with small even gaps. Front seats are flat, there is no lateral support and a weakly stuffed cushion. In front of the driver is a three-spoke chubby steering wheel, which is regulated in the Lux and Norm trim levels, followed by the instruments. The information on the tachometer and speedometer is easy to read, which can not be said about the on-board computer readings.
On the back row of seats with ease are placedtwo passengers, but the third one will hamper everyone. The driver can easily accommodate a tall man, and his knees will not rest on the back, and the feet can be comfortably put, which is an undoubted advantage of the Lada granta. Reviews indicate the lack of pylovnikov in the rear seats, but they can add up, and increasing the rather big trunk. The car salon has many different shelves, niches, coasters, which can not but rejoice.
Well done in the car noise and sound insulation, the novelty is much quieter than its older brothers, but there is still something to improve.
Lada granta: reviews and technical parameters
The new car is equipped with a gasoline engine(1.6) with a five-speed manual or 4-automatic Japanese transmission. The car shows a good engine thrust, accelerating to 100 km per hour in just over 11 seconds. Moving with a maximum speed of 170 km per hour, the average flow will be 7 and a half liters of gasoline. The new Lada became more manageable due to the installation of the electric booster, the steering wheel became sharper, and a real connection between the driver and the steering appeared.
For good hard-surfaced roads LadaGrant rides predictably and clearly, there are small uncritical rolls on corners. Thanks to the installation of wheels with negative camber angles and positive convergence, which can not be adjusted during operation, the car better keeps the trajectory and became more stable.
Advantage of Lada cars in their softsuspension with a high energy intensity, which is virtually indifferent to potholes and pits. Acoustic comfort as when driving on a country road, and along the road is satisfactory.
In general, there are good impressions of driving tocar Lada granta, driver reviews confirm this. I would like to hope that the machine will not be spoiled by the conveyor and will not fail the quality of the components. The fly of tar was the fact that the price for a car of this class of a domestic manufacturer is quite high.
