The Lada Granta Liftback is built on the platform from the Granta Sedan, which means that the body dimensions are as close as possible to those of the sedan.
The width and height are the same: 1700 x 1500 mm, but the length is shorter by as much as 150 mm, and is 4246 mm. Inside the cabin, the proportions are maintained, with the exception of the free space above the heads of passengers in the rear row of seats. It was reduced by 8.0 cm. In general, no discomfort was felt. The main advantage of the Liftback model is the increased space in the luggage compartment, despite the overall reduction in body length. With the seats folded, the volume is 440 liters, when unfolded - 760 liters.
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.

First impression or exterior
“X” – front bumper graphics. This innovation most clearly indicates the latest generation model from LADA. The trend of the future is immediately visible to the naked eye. We already have a worthy competitor to some inexpensive foreign analogues, at least from an exterior point of view. A young driver often likes this design, but everything is individual.
Other striking details include expressive lighting technology and an updated trunk topography. The roof has a smooth transition to the trunk, but on the driver’s side there is a sharp rise. We can immediately talk about increased space above the head of the rear passenger, as well as free access to the trunk from the street.
Two solutions from the manufacturer gave it a sporty look:
- Rising sill line.
- Sloping roof.
Of course, there is not much sportiness, but it is present here. New 15-inch wheels, better angle for washer nozzles, sculpted curves along the entire body. Getting to work with such a car is a pleasure, because it will emphasize the slightly elevated status of its owner.

Features and disadvantages of the luggage compartment
- To fully fold the rear row of seats into a flat platform, you will need to remove the headrests. Otherwise, they will rest against the back of the front seats. The angle of the seat layout will not exceed 160 - 165°;
- To remotely unlock the rear door lock, you need to press the mechanical key fob button twice;
- Lifting the trunk lid requires a lot of effort; the door is moderately heavy;
- A solid rubber mat on a raised shelf is impractical, since with frequent use of a spare wheel or a mechanical jack, the sides touch the fleecy covering, wearing it out.
What kind of oversized cargo will fit into the trunk of a Liftback?

Owner Tips
- To prevent the false floor covering from wearing out prematurely, buy a composite floor for the luggage compartment. As an alternative, choose Polic from Renault Logan Universal.
- To reduce the noise level from impacts of gravel and stones, install additional sound insulation. The wrapping process is simple and can be done by every car owner. No special equipment is required.

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.

Suspension and road behavior
The suspension of the updated Lada Granta Liftback remains the same as its previous version. At the same time, it is characterized by sufficient reliability and low cost. Therefore, most likely, the owners of this car, as before, will not have serious difficulties with this unit.
This car has always been famous for its predictable and fairly confident behavior on the road. At the same time, despite the fact that this is far from an SUV, it has excellent cross-country ability. Therefore, such a Grant is quite possible to drive on minor off-road conditions. In addition, there are many cases where a domestic liftback, like a car in a different body, successfully passed where taller and more passable cars got stuck.
Additional security systems, which are now being installed on this domestic liftback, should somewhat improve its behavior in difficult road conditions. But these changes will not be significant. There is no need to wait for a miracle here. But, despite this, Granta behaves excellently, both in city traffic and on the highway. In addition, drivers note that in icy conditions or snowfall, it is much more comfortable and safer to drive than other cars of a similar class.
Of course, there is no need to talk about the speed characteristics of the liftback. This is not a racing car at all. However, it is simply ridiculous to expect such properties from him. But at the same time, cars equipped with 106 hp engines. and a manual transmission, they can easily compete with some of their classmates. It is for this, as well as its stylish appearance and low cost, that Granta fell in love with numerous young car enthusiasts.
In addition, the Lada Granta in the liftback body, as, indeed, in all others, is extremely economical in any driving cycle. Therefore, like the previous version, the 2022 car is perfect for poor car owners, and not necessarily those of advanced age. The car will most likely be appreciated by various courier services and other organizations. And its stylish appearance, combined with a low price, low fuel consumption and good safety and controllability, will appeal to the fair half of humanity.
