In the fall of 2011, the VAZ family of cars was replenished with another new product. Production of the Lada Granta has begun. The newcomer not only quickly got used to the sales market, but also confidently took a leading position.
Based on the results of the last year of sales, Grants account for almost 20% of sales. In its concept, this model is a logical continuation and development of Kalina and Priora, but thanks to the introduction of rapidly developing computer technologies into production, it has already stepped far forward. Let's carefully look at the technical characteristics of the Lada Grant and try to understand what makes it the leader of our car market.
Modifications of Grants currently
So, Lada Granta is represented on the car market by three models - the Lada Granta sedan, the Lada Granta liftback (hatchback) and the Lada Granta Sport. If we consider the technical characteristics of the Grant Lada of all modifications together, we will simply drown in information, and the discussion will drag on ad infinitum. Therefore, we will focus on the technical characteristics of the Grant sedan.
This car is a basic one, and other modifications have been created on its basis. The Lada Granta sedan is available in three categories: “Standard”, “Norma” and “Lux”, which differ from each other in the package of options installed on the car. We will try to generalize and highlight the main points for all three positions.
Equipment
Like other VAZ cars, the Lada Granta is available in three options:
- The standard provides stamped wheels, special connectors for audio equipment, seat belts with an indicator, an airbag for the driver, and an immobilizer. Price from 300 thousand rubles.
- Norma will be pleased with air conditioning, partial power accessories, in particular, electric front windows, central locking and tailgate drive, power steering, and rear seat headrests. Cost - from 350 thousand rubles.
- Luxury - two airbags, multimedia systems, heated seats, climate control, as well as BAS and ABS. You will be pleased with the electric mirrors and automatic windows. For such a package you will have to pay at least 450 thousand rubles.
Body Specifications
Lada Granta technical characteristics of the body: is a four-door sedan with a front transverse engine. The driving wheels are the front pair of wheels, the wheel formula is 4 x 2. The length of the car is 4260 mm, width 1700 mm, height 1500 mm. The ground clearance is respectively 160 mm. I would especially like to dwell on the volume of the trunk (it is very impressive), which holds 520 liters. The base size is 2476 millimeters.
Disadvantages of the model
There are no perfect cars. You need to understand the purpose for which you are buying a car. When operating a premium car in off-road conditions, it will have no fewer disadvantages than a crossover when driving on the autobahn. The second important indicator is the price-quality ratio. You have to pay for comfort. The complexity of manufacturing, materials for interior decoration, sound insulation and other options for a luxury car will cost much more than for a budget car.
However, all versions of the Grant liftback have common disadvantages. First of all, this is very poor sound insulation of the wheel arches and especially the roof. When driving on gravel or a wet road, you get the feeling that your feet will be drenched in water, and when it rains, you get the feeling that there is a metal basin above you instead of a roof. The design of the window lifts is not well thought out, the windows do not open all the way, which is especially inconvenient when paying for parking or opening the barrier when entering a parking lot.
The noise level of the gearbox is quite high, however, this is typical for all VAZ models. The size of the digital information displayed on the on-board computer display is insufficient, you have to strain to read the values, this distracts attention from the road. Other minor shortcomings can be easily tolerated.
The Lada Granta liftback, conceived by AvtoVAZ designers as a budget family car, almost meets the ideal combination of price-quality criteria. This is certainly a step forward for the Russian automobile industry. The car has fairly good technical characteristics, high passive safety, is economical, has a stylish modern design and a very comfortable interior.

Suspension Specifications
Technical characteristics of Lada Granta suspension: - front independent, MacPherson strut model with anti-roll bar. Rear semi-independent lever and spring. Standard (gas or hydro) telescopic shock absorbers are used on both suspensions.
The steering is represented by a rack and pinion with electric power steering. I would especially like to dwell on the transmission. A five-speed manual gearbox is considered basic, but some models are equipped with both a robotic gearbox and an automatic transmission. I would like to talk specifically about the technical characteristics of the Lada Granta Automatic.
Technical characteristics of gearbox and automatic transmission
Our auto industry does not produce automatic transmissions, apparently the level of production does not yet allow this. Therefore, the Lada Granta is equipped with a Japanese unit purchased abroad. It was no coincidence that one of the Nissan factories was chosen, specializing in the production of automatic transmissions, one of the models of which (though ten years ago) ideally suited the Lada Granta transmission. The car turned out to be a sight to behold - smooth ride, no jerks, improved acceleration dynamics, ease of control.
Drivers forced to spend long periods of time stuck in city traffic jams seem to fully appreciate the convenience of an automatic transmission. But even here the economic crisis did not pass by - due to the rise in exchange rates, the production of cars with automatic transmissions temporarily ceased.
Options affecting the characteristics of the Lada Granta car
Speaking about the technical characteristics of the Lada Granta, I would like to talk separately about the existing option packages that the car plant offers for each model variant. There is truly room for activity. From the most minimal to the most luxurious, including climate control, parking sensors with a rear view camera, and a multimedia system with an on-board computer.
A special feature of AVTOVAZ is that by choosing the appropriate package of options, you don’t have to think about tuning the car, since everything will be done at the factory. Each option is assigned its own digital identification, which can be quite difficult to understand. For example, the technical characteristics of the Lada Granta 219010 differ from the technical characteristics of the Lada Granta 219060 only in that one has the “Standard” equipment, and the other the “Norma”. If you decide to buy this car, the auto shop specialists will help you figure it out.
I would like to dwell on one more, quite interesting, point regarding the technical characteristics of the VAZ Grant. Many smart people and “experts”, when assessing this car, constantly compare it with the leading models of the Western automobile industry. And its dynamics are sluggish, and its design is backward, and the plastic in the interior is cheap. But Toyota (Mercedes, BMW, etc.) is a completely different matter. Don't pay any attention to them!
For the first time in Russia we have a car that comes close to leading world positions. And there is nothing to say about the price-quality ratio. Our consumer wants to buy inexpensively, but the quality and design are at their best. And according to its technical characteristics, the Lada Granta car is an ideal option. You can choose from the cheapest to the most expensive option package.
So, those who want to buy an inexpensive car with the most affordable equipment should study the technical characteristics of the VAZ 219110 or the technical characteristics of the Lada Granta 219060, and for those who have more options, it makes sense to take a closer look at the VAZ 21902-42-11 or VAZ 219170 whose technical characteristics more expanded.
We must not forget that our VAZ 2190 with basic technical characteristics has already received international recognition. In 2014, at the height of summer in Argentina, a grandiose car show was held, at which Russia was represented by the Lada Granta 219010.
Not only did our car not get lost among the world's leading models, it also entered the top ten! Many of the world's leading racing drivers have driven a Lada Granta car and confidently recognized the technical characteristics of the Lada Granta 219010 as meeting all modern requirements.
It's no secret that in the near future, VAZ plans to start producing a crossover under the so far tentative name X-Ray. And in this regard, the development of the Lada Grant received an unexpected continuation - the appearance and design of the new car turned out to be so successful that it was decided to update the Grant in the same style.
Now we can safely say that the technical characteristics of the 2016 Lada Grant will be significantly improved. In any case, the car will receive an updated appearance and become more modern.
Great marketing moves
Manufacturers managed to achieve a low cost of the 2012 Lada Granta without compromising performance thanks to maximum unification and a significant reduction in the number of parts and components. Inside the car, the door trim consists of 3 elements (the predecessor had 15). “Torpedo” includes 39 components instead of 59. 3 parts are used in the bumper design (on Kalina - 9). The reduction in the number of parts had a positive effect on the build quality and appearance. The fewer parts, the fewer interface points and, accordingly, the likelihood of failure.
The changes also affected the control panel. Indicators of fuel consumption and engine temperature are displayed on the on-board computer, where the clock, charging voltage, data on average gasoline consumption and estimated mileage are displayed.
The Granta has noticeable new front seats. However, in practice it turned out that the outwardly beautiful and stylish chairs are not rigid enough. Firstly, lateral support is only formal; it is not felt when cornering. Secondly, strong and tall drivers feel metal under them during strong shocks. The rear seats are comfortable and functional, they quickly transform into a luggage compartment.
The interior ventilation and heating system is good. Air ducts are installed in the right places. Although the overall picture is spoiled only by the heating stove fan, which makes a loud noise at high speeds.
The designers did not forget about such little things as a convenient and large glove compartment, where you can put niches and cup holders, which improves the characteristics of the interior space of the car. The lighting technology is pleasing, the headlight adjustments are clear, the size is very impressive.
Summary of technical characteristics
Let us finally try to emphasize those technical characteristics of the Lada Granta car, those distinctive features that make it truly popular.
Firstly: it is a modern, expensive appearance, the rapid contours of which directly speak of its character.
Secondly: a spacious and comfortable interior, easy and thoughtful controls.
Thirdly: a powerful engine and energy-intensive suspension, an improved sound insulation package. Fourth: multimedia system with touch control and daytime running lights.
Fifth: front passenger and driver airbags, automatic transmission.
The combination with an inexpensive price and inexpensive maintenance allows the Lada Grant to claim the well-deserved title of “people's” car. It’s not without reason that even now the entire automotive community calls the Lada Granta the “business card” of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant.
Interior
Compared to the exterior, the interior looks much more presentable. However, aesthetic and ergonomic qualities are inferior to even the cheapest Chinese cars. What can please the owner of Granta? First of all, there is a spacious trunk, like for a sedan. Its volume is 480 l. When compared with Kalina, the superiority was 80 units. Another advantage of the cabin is the sufficient amount of free space. As for the remaining elements, their use is reduced to a minimum.
