Review of Lada XRAY (Lada X Ray)

Lada X Ray is a car that deserves special attention when considering the Lada line of the AvtoVAZ concern. There are plenty of reasons for this.

Firstly, X Ray is a crossover, the first and therefore eagerly awaited brainchild of a domestic concern in this class.

After the official presentation of the car at MIAS, another, unofficial alternative classification appeared - “tall hatchback with SUV features”, but the main classification of the car was still accepted as “crossover”, albeit with the reservation of skeptics “compact”.

Secondly, the versions of this car, although they differ in cost, are located in the budget segment, which is more than attractive for a crossover.

The cost of the basic XRay in 2016 was 589 thousand rubles, from January 9, 2022 AvtoVAZ raised the lower bar to 599,900 rubles, but there are objective reasons for this - the concern continues to work on the model based on the results of a year-long test drive on the roads Russia.

Let's review the Lada X Rey crossover, dividing the content into sections:

Main characteristics

Lada X-Ray is a compact front-wheel drive crossover, equipped with several options of gasoline engines, designed for comfortable driving in urban and rural conditions, including light off-road conditions.

This brief description coincides with the characteristics of cars of this class from foreign manufacturers, which are also a combination of the appearance of an SUV with an inexpensive, reliable passenger car platform.

Crossovers are not equipped with means for movement on real off-road conditions - winches, differential locking devices, or a mechanism for engaging low gears. Crossovers have borrowed from off-road vehicles only increased ground clearance, larger door openings and higher seats; the maximum borrowing from SUVs can be all-wheel drive.

To prevent skepticism from critics of AvtoVAZ products, let’s take a look at a schematic list of the Lada XRay’s equipment with equipment from well-known Western manufacturers who supply components and assemblies to global automotive brands and therefore have been chosen by the Russian concern as partners.

Main suppliers of Lada X-Ray

The widespread use of universal components from foreign companies with a narrow specialization and experience in their production is a long-standing justified practice of many Western automakers, who prefer not to be distracted by the independent development of minor parts from scratch, but to purchase them ready-made from companies with a reliable reputation. AvtoVAZ followed the same path, ensuring the maximum increase in quality for its products.

Most of the characteristics of the car should be determined by its purpose - Crossover Utility Vehicle (off-road vehicle), so we will review the Lada XRay crossover precisely from the point of view of compliance with the declared class, starting with dimensions and geometry.

Dimensions Lada X Ray

The dimensions of the car do not contradict its membership in the crossover family, but they add to the class the definition of “compact” - a compact crossover.

For clarity, let’s summarize the dimensions and main dimensions of the Lada XRay into a table:

The listed characteristics are sufficient only for choosing the size of a garage for XRay, so we will continue to get acquainted with its technical data, but with adjustments for the configuration of the internal combustion engine, of which there can be three options:

  1. VAZ-21129 - volume 1.6 liters, 16 valves, 106 hp, combined with a 5-speed manual transmission (5 manual transmission).
  2. VAZ-21179 - volume 1.8 liters, 16 valves, 122 hp, in combination with a 5-speed robotic automatic transmission (AMT), since the fall of 2016, a 5-speed manual transmission package is available.
  3. HR16DE – Nissan power unit with a volume of 1.6 liters, 16 valves, 110 hp, in combination with a 5-speed manual transmission, has been discontinued since June 2016, installed only on the anniversary versions of the Lada XRay 50 Anniversary and Lada Vesta 50 Anniversary, limited to 500 copies.

Anniversary version – Lada XRay 50 Anniversary

The specified list of characteristics is far from complete, but it already allows us to evaluate the potential of the Lada XRay.

Let's consider the main components of the crossover, taking into account the experience gained by car owners based on the results of an annual test drive of the car on Russian roads.

Exterior Lada X Ray

The appearance of the Lada XRay is spectacular - the use of X-design elements in the body design both in the front part and on the sides had an impact.

Moreover, on the sides of the car this technique is used using embossing technology, creating a volumetric contour of the desired profile on the surface of the doors and wings.

As a rule, people buy a car for themselves for more than one year. After driving in eco mode and getting used to driving, you will probably want to drive faster. Therefore, we will choose the engine that provides the best dynamics. According to the passport data, the Xray 1.8 with a manual transmission accelerates to the first hundred in 10.4 seconds. Version 1.6 with mechanics in this discipline is slightly slower - 11.7 s. The torque of the 1.8 is noticeably higher - 170 Nm versus 148 Nm for the younger modification. And fuel consumption in the combined cycle is approximately the same - 7.4 l/100 km for the 1.8 versus 7.0 l/100 km for the 1.6-liter version. Another reason to choose the 1.8 engine. This version can be bought in the top-end Exclusive equipment, while a car with a 1.6 liter engine in this configuration is not sold at all.


The car with the older engine of 122 horsepower is noticeably faster than the Lada XRAY 1.6.

The car with the older engine of 122 horsepower is noticeably faster than the Lada XRAY 1.6.

We will add a manual gearbox to the 1.8-liter unit. The mechanics are reliable and have sufficient clarity of switching. You need to get used to the robot, and not every driver will agree to do this.

Our choice:

engine 1.8 (122 hp). The gearbox is a five-speed manual.
