Lada cars haven't been called for a long time.wild delight among car enthusiasts. Of course, if you do not take into account the drawings of concepts and exhibits. The technical tuning of Largus 2012 did not produce the expected response, the model became just one of AvtoVAZ's new products. It was produced in three body types: van, station wagon and compact van. This model has filled the ranks of the budget segment, but did not win much popularity. But increased demand was still observed. As a rule, its buyers are people who often go to the country or simply carry large loads. It is thanks to the capacity of the car found its consumer.
But AvtoVAZ continued to develop this line.And already in the framework of the international exhibition of 2014 held in Moscow, the pseudo-crossover "Lada Largus" was presented. The characteristics of the car, though not all, have not changed. The prefix "Cross", which was used by the manufacturers, guaranteed increased ground clearance, new R16 wheels, a plastic body kit for protection, a modified bumper and door pillars made in black.
It is worth noting that the car in appearanceis like an SUV that can conquer any road. The front bumper is made of plastic, but the car does not look primitive. Probably the metal insert adds a zest to this. In general, the tuning of the Largus Cross is similar to its predecessor, and there is no point in looking for any radical changes. However, the updated car has acquired modern features and a certain dynamism. Some role in the design perform 16-inch wheels, made quite well. They are ideal for driving in the city, and off-road.
An experienced driver will immediately notice that the roadThe lumen of this model is increased. In Lada Largus, it is 145 mm, while in Cross it is 170 mm. As for the other criteria, they fully correspond to the class B universal.
Aesthetic tuning "Largus" causes a lotcontradictions, it is especially felt in the cabin. Why do such feelings appear? And this is due to the fact that the designers used in the interior design too bold and contrasting techniques, to which not all relate unequivocally.
The changes affected both the upholstery of the doors and the steering wheel,slightly changed the front panel. But if you look deeper, much remains the same. After all, the basic mechanisms have not changed at all, there is no more comfort in the car, which was clearly demonstrated by a test drive. The Largus Cross 4x4 is a front wheel drive car, so there are no different switches.
Of course, not only controls are inthe cabin. The design of the seats, doors and other great attention is also paid. Largus Cross will not disappoint its owners in this regard. Inside, a lot of items that are made of high-quality leather and stand out in orange. It seems that such a design move is designed for young people. It looks, of course, quite effectively. Despite the fact that the interior is reminiscent of Renault Logan, the orange inserts made it possible to add zest and slightly change the overall impression of the car. The 4x4 Lada Largus SUV is made on the basis of the “Lux” model, so no additional electronics will have to be installed. All this is already in the basic configuration.
If anyone ever drove a Renault Logan MCV,then in “Largus Cross” he will not see anything new, since the technical characteristics are completely identical. Engine 105 horsepower. It works quite well at low revs and does not twitch in the first two gears, the driver can control the fuel supply as accurately as possible. However, at speeds in excess of 120 km / h, it is felt that the thrust is not as active as it was before. Of course, few people want to accelerate on Russian roads to such a speed, so this minus is insignificant. A convenient five-speed manual gearbox is traveling complete with the engine with which the Lada Largus is equipped.
If you talk in detail about the technicalcharacteristics, it is worth mentioning the dynamic stability of the car. The car does not lose momentum on the climbs and turns, even when there are seven people in it. If we talk about how much a car spends fuel, it is impossible not to notice the difference with the Lada Largus station wagon. The cost of any type of movement increased by about a liter. The new model will spend around 11 liters of fuel in the city, and 7.5 liters on the highway. Also pay attention to the increase in the maximum level of speed, which is now 165 km / h.
About complete sets can not be said. All conditions of comfort are taken from the predecessor - the versatile class "Lux". And this already indicates that the basic content is present:
The cost of a five-seater model starts from 615 thousand rubles, seven-seater - from 640 thousand.
Loved the car a lot.Some were surprised that the same optimization was not made in Renault Logan. Anyone looking at the 4x4 Largus tuning will say that this model is still far from the SUV. But a successful increase in ground clearance says at least about the work being done in this direction. Here you can add a plastic bumper. There are shortcomings, but they are insignificant. Many are uncomfortable with the fact that it is not possible to choose the color of the inserts in the cabin or change the configuration. This car will not be able to climb a steep slope in the mountains or go at high speed on the road, but here it is perfectly adapted to the Russian roads. Although many believe that the price is too high. We have to admit that Lada has not so many successful transformations, so you can be happy for the domestic manufacturer and, of course, for the happy owners of Lada Largus Cross.
