What is the difference between the new Granta and the old version?
An important feature of New Generation is that the packages have a clear structure. Regardless of which body type the buyer prefers, he will be able to choose the same set of options - both for the hatchback and for the crossover. Granta now boasts an automatic transmission in both Comfort and Luxe versions. The top-end Luxe Prestige and the Comfort variant with an automatic transmission are equipped with a stabilization system.
To produce new cars, the manufacturer used “plug-in” 1.6 engines. If the timing belt breaks, new pistons will not meet the valves. The update brought the mandatory ERA-GLONASS system to the model range. It was necessary to change the ceiling lamp to accommodate it.

The first X-cars were Lada X-Ray and Lada Vesta. The letter X can be seen everywhere on the sides on the front end. Now it has come to the ancient, like the skeletons of a mammoth, Kalina Granta cars. They were transformed. And the letter X appeared in the front end. We also had to change the hood, bumper, headlights, and grille. They also went to great lengths inside. X-embossing appeared on the plastic inserts of the front console.

They also moved the car number from the bumper to the trunk lid. In our conditions this is a practical thing. Especially for taxi drivers. I stood under a prohibitory sign, lifted the trunk lid and now no parking sensor will see the number. And these are almost all the visible changes to the old Lada Granta.
What's wrong with the current Lada Granta
The main problem of the family is the outdated platform, which has long been in need of updating. Slurred driving habits and weak steering are just the beginning of the list of characteristics that require radical changes. The force on the steering wheel is stepped, resulting in no feedback. The car reacts to steering wheel rotation very late, which is unacceptable and can cost your life in some situations on the road.
In addition to mediocre handling with frightening rolls, the current Granta has a high vibration load. The shaking begins to be felt even while idling. After the car starts moving, the feeling decreases a little. Even with the correct wheel alignment, to drive straight, the steering wheel must be turned slightly to the right.
Modern Lada Granta is an example of optimal price-quality ratio. Thanks to the use of reliable components for 500-600 thousand rubles, a car enthusiast can become the owner of an elegant liftback or a roomy station wagon, as in the photo.
