The dimensional parameters of the car affect both the convenience of driving in the city or off-road, and the comfort of the trips.
For the modern Lada Granta, the overall dimensions are selected in such a way that the owners can move along any routes and transport bulky cargo.
The developers paid no less attention to the arrangement of the interior. The parameters of the seats and their location provide the driver and passengers with favorable conditions in transport.
External dimensions of Lada Granta
The body parameters are somewhat different compared to the predecessor of the Lada Kalina. Granta's length is 4260 mm, which is 220 mm longer. The width of the Granta is 2476, although it is only 6 mm larger than the Kalinovskaya. Due to this increase in size, the volume of the luggage compartment has also become larger. For example, for Kalina station wagon the initial figure is only 355 liters, for Granta – 440 liters.
The height of the model is 1.5 m, thanks to which an excellent combination of a spacious interior and a neat appearance was achieved. As for the dimensions of the wheelbase, its length is 2476 mm. And the front and rear track widths are 1430 and 1426 mm, respectively.
For the liftback, the rear track is 1414 mm. Such overall dimensions of the Grant allow the car to be more stable and provide the owner with a smooth and careful ride even on poor roads.
The distance from the front track to the front bumper is 804 mm, and from the rear track to the rear bumper is 980 mm. Grants ground clearance is 16 cm, some liftback models (with automatic transmission and 1.6 liter engine) have a ground clearance of 14 cm. This indicator is considered one of the best and was adopted from the progenitor of the Lada Kalina. These parameters are quite sufficient for traveling around:
– Dirt roads with uneven surfaces.
– Snowy country roads.
– Hills with steep slopes.
Body. Description of design
The LADA GRANTA body is all-metal, welded, load-bearing structure. The body is welded on an automatic line. Most of the body panels are galvanized to improve their anti-corrosion properties. Electrozinc coating on the inside is applied to the front and middle floor panels, body sides, the A-pillar amplifier, the outer panels of the trunk lid and doors, the front and rear fenders and a number of other parts. The rear wheel arches are galvanized on the outside. Electrozinc coating on both sides is applied to the rear panel, cross members and floor connectors, to the inner panel of the trunk lid and hood, to the trunk lid reinforcement and to a number of other parts. The thickness of the main body panels is 0.8 mm. The body elements are connected to each other by contact welding, and in hard-to-reach places - by semi-automatic electric welding in an inert gas environment. Panel joints and welds are sealed with mastic. After welding the panels, the body is phosphated, electrophoretic and secondary primers are applied and painted. Hidden body cavities are treated with a preservative at the factory. In the body structure, passive safety elements are designed taking into account current and future passive safety requirements. The front and rear bumpers are made of impact-resistant material to absorb impact energy during a collision. The B-pillars, roof and sills are reinforced. All doors are equipped with metal bars to improve resistance to side impacts. All glass is curved, polished, safety type. The windshield is three-layer, the rest are tempered. Rear window - with heating element. The windshield, rear and rear side windows are glued into the body openings and are part of its power circuit. Door glass is sliding. Depending on the configuration, the door glass can be driven by either mechanical or electric window lifters. Depending on the configuration, vehicles may be equipped with central locking, which simultaneously locks or unlocks all doors and the trunk lid. The rear doors are equipped with locking locks, which can be used when driving with children or in other cases when conventional locking cannot provide sufficient protection against unwanted door opening.
Internal dimensions of Lada Granta
Equally important when purchasing are the internal parameters. They influence the comfort of being in a car and making long trips. An additional advantage is the possibility of numerous adjustments to the position of the seats, if there is enough space in the cabin to move them, rearrange them and several tilt modes.
For the stylish Lada Granta, the overall dimensions inside are really well thought out and allow all passengers and the driver to spend even long trips with maximum comfort.
The height from the junction of the seat and backrest is 910 mm for the second row and 990 for the front seats. The seat widths are 49 cm and 51 cm respectively. The distance from the second row seat to the first varies from 12 to 33.5 cm, which allows passengers to sit comfortably in the seats.
The height of the seats relative to the floor of the cabin for the second row is 34 cm, and for the first 28.5 cm (subject to slight adjustment). The distance from the pedals to the edge of the seat can be from 33.5 to 56 cm.
Trunk overview, what is where and where
The basic configuration of the Lada Granta Liftback does not include a remote drive to unlock the doors. In Lux versions, a mechanical button is installed on the key. To unlock the fifth door, just press the button once. Next, lift the lid mechanically by hand. Note that it is not easy, one little finger will not be enough, make an effort. Even when folded, the trunk is spacious and impressive. The perimeter is lined with felt, fleecy material. It serves as both cladding and noise reduction.
Unfortunately, there is no rubber mat on the floor, only fleecy material. If necessary, the owner can independently purchase rubber coating. Lifting the false shelf, in the center we will see a recess for the spare wheel. Moreover, the standard radius of the disks is 14 inches, but you can fit all 16 inches. Convenient and practical, since there is free space. In addition to the full tire, there is a mechanical jack and a wheel wrench. If desired, you can fit a tow rope, which needs to be purchased separately; it is not supplied as standard.

The overall dimensions of any car have a significant impact on comfort. If this concerns the base, then the passengers led by the driver are the first to feel the convenience, and when it comes to the luggage compartment, then the practicality of the car comes to the fore. Ground clearance allows you to feel confident on country roads. So you can continue to give a lot of examples.
Such statements do not ignore the heroine of today’s article - the domestic model Lada Granta.
If we take a closer look at the interior, we immediately notice the commendable design of the seats, when constructing them the manufacturer set the goal of ensuring the most comfortable seating for all participants in the voyage.
How does it go and, most importantly, where?
Grant is not a champion on the race track. It does not shine with refined handling on the “parquet” floor. Here it is reliable in taxiing, but no more. But in Russia there are few truly smooth roads. To understand Granta's abilities, we need to shift the coordinate system. How to compare a car with a ground clearance of 195 mm in running order and 160 mm when fully loaded? Yes, with a single-wheel drive crossover!
The Granta has an almost impenetrable suspension, excellent ride quality on crushing and undulating surfaces, excellent cross-country ability for a single-wheel drive and very good handling for such a tall passenger car, and even with high-profile tires.
What external dimensions can Grant please?
For clarity, we present the characteristics of the body in comparison with its relative, the Lada Kalina.
- So, in length the Lada Granta defeats its rival with a difference of 220 mm, because this parameter reaches 4260 mm.
- The width is 1700 mm, similar to that of Kalina. The differences are not big if you take the sedan version.
- Parity is maintained in height, since this figure for both “Russians” is 1500 mm.
- A similar picture is observed when comparing bases - 2476 mm for each.
Car characteristics
The dimensions of Grant's car vary depending on the model configuration. All Lada Granta cars can be divided into three categories. Standard - received a VAZ 11183 engine. The tire size is 175/70R13, therefore, the tires are mounted on 13-inch wheels. The steering column can be adjusted in height. A front airbag is installed in the driver's seat.
Norma - equipped with a VAZ 21116 engine. The tire size is 175/65R14, the tires are mounted on 14-inch stamped or cast wheels. The rear seats have head restraints.
What are the dimensions of the Granta inside?
As already noted, the internal dimensions of our LADA Granta are no less important. It is these indicators that have a genuine impact on ensuring comfort on long-distance cruises.
An irreplaceable advantage of the cabin is the ability of the seats to be amenable to many adjustments. The interior space is thought out with sufficient meticulousness, thanks to which long trips turn into fun and comfortable events.
If we set the value of the height from the junction of the seat cushion with the backrest to the nearest dimension, then it will be 910 millimeters for the front passengers, and passengers in the stern will have 80 millimeters more at their disposal, that is, 990 mm. The width of the seats is respectively 490 mm and 510 mm. The free legroom behind seated riders can reach a maximum of 335 mm. The height of the seats relative to the bottom for the front row is 285 mm, and for the second row – 340 mm. This parameter may vary due to the ability of the seats to be adjusted (front).
For those who are interested in the distance between the pedal assembly and the front end of the driver's seat, it can also be adjusted, thanks to regulation, from 335 mm to 560 mm.
Some future owners of practical LADA Granta will probably be interested in the steering dimensions. The steering wheel diameter is 375 mm. The remaining indicators are not particularly important here and note that they are not capable of having the slightest negative impact on ride comfort.
Features of the liftback
The production of Grant in a liftback body was based on the original version of this model, so their dimensions are almost identical. But, of course, there are still certain differences. Let's look at them.
- Body length reduced by 14 mm.
- The interior ceiling in the rear seat area has become slightly smaller, by about 8 cm.
As you can see, the parameters of the liftback and the sedan are almost identical. However, does this apply to the trunk? Let's consider the indicators in liters and in physical terms.
Reviews
| № | Positive |
| 1. | Georgy: I bought Grant a Liftback before he retired. Outside the city there is a dacha, a vegetable garden, an orchard. With the onset of spring there is a lot of work, you need to transport equipment and vegetables. In this regard, the machine is simply irreplaceable. My recommendations for gardeners. |
| 2. | Sergey: For our small family of four, the Liftback is just right. Trunk space is good. If necessary, we fold out the back row and transport everything you need. |
| 3. | Vitaly: I’m leaving my positive review about the trunk capacity of the Lada Granta Liftback. By occupation I am engaged in supplying products to retail outlets. The larger the order, the greater the profit. Everything fits. |
| 4. | Georgy: I bought the Lada Granta Liftback not only for the “newness”, but also for the spacious trunk. I often go fishing with my friends, and I can’t do without “good styling.” My recommendations. |
| 5. | Vasily: the family spent a long time deciding whether to buy a Sedan or a Liftback, and ultimately chose the latest modification of the body. |
| 6. | David: I gave preference to the Liftback because of practicality and the ability to transport more things. If necessary, you can spend the night in the cabin by first unfolding the rear row of seats. |
| 7. | Vladislav: I live in a rural area and for me modifying the Sedan body is not practical. You can fit quite a lot in the Liftback, and even more when unfolded. |
| Negative | |
| 1. | Victor: there is nothing special in the trunk, it is too narrow, only 940 cm at the extreme point between the rear glasses. In Renault Logan the dimensions are 15 cm wider. |
| 2. | Vasily: the model is still crude, there are many flaws, poor noise reduction. To eliminate the shortcomings, you need to invest. It’s better to spend a few tens of thousands and buy a Renault Logan. |
| 3. | Igor: I bought a car from a dealership six months ago, there were no complaints. After several tens of thousands of miles, I often visit service stations for every little thing, modifications, and elimination of factory defects. I will sell before it's too late. |
Conclusion The size of the trunk of the Lada Granta Liftback must be given its due. The engineers did a great job, the parameters are higher than a number of European brands: Volkswagen, Skoda, Opel, Seat. Criticism regarding the lack of noise reduction is well deserved; it is a defect of the manufacturer. Considering the low cost of work, you can eliminate the defect yourself.
