I’ll tell you about my Lada Granta 2013. She is in the same hands all the time. I will give my review as objectively as possible, without lyrics, pure facts.
Let's start with the body
Is there any rust? It has already appeared on the rear wheel arches.
It was already painted over and still showed through. Rust often appears on the roof here, for people who often drive along the highway.
But I don't travel very often, so I don't have one. There are also a few chips on the hood. Check out my tires, they are 6 years old, they were bought with this car. Chinese tires Green Max.
I have already erased it almost to the limiters.
Lada Granta hatchback - the whole truth in the owner reviews
To obtain the most unbiased and comprehensive information regarding the features of using the Lada Granta, the advantages and disadvantages of this car, read the reviews on the Liftback Grant.
Based on information provided by live users with a long service life, it will be much easier to make a choice based on a compressed array of information regarding the most important components of car operation, ensuring maximum user comfort.
Lada car interior
“Concerning the interior, there are two opinions that contradict each other: for the first year and a half of driving on trips further than 50 km, my back ached in the driver’s seat. But my wife in the back seat was unusually comfortable.”
Alexander, Lada Granta Liftback.6 (106 hp) with AMT robot 2022, owner review. “The salon provides a large number of possibilities for tuning due to the large amount of free space! It’s just important not to overdo it, otherwise it will look unaesthetic. You can install a stereo system, new floor mats, comfortable armrests, etc. I plan to do all this in the near future. I also want to install a spoiler"
Reviews of the Lada from the owner of a liftback 1.6 (106 hp) with a robot, 2022 model year. “The interior is quite spacious, just like in the Lada Kalina, however, due to changes in the design of the front panel, as well as a change in the shape of the glove compartment, there is less space for comfortable leg placement for the front passenger. The impact resistance of plastic is at a lower level than that of the first generation Lada Kalina model range. In contrast to the susceptibility to impacts, the rigidity of the plastic panels is at approximately the same level. As for the seats, they hold their shape much better than in previous models. The material used for the upholstery of the floor and seats does not raise any complaints, however, due to the black coloring, all the adhering debris is visible.”
Liftback 2022 owner review with mechanics 2022 release. “The interior is quite neat and pleasing with its high-quality assembly, but I would like to note that the glare of the sun is often reflected on the screen. The sound insulation in the factory configuration is quite weak, but in the near future I want to fix it myself.”
Pavel, automatic liftback reviews. “The interior is not conducive to talking about it for a long time - the assembly looks quite simple and cheap. But the stove in the cabin is simply excellent, it cooks quite well. The acoustics are also good, for me personally, provided that I don’t bother with the purity of the sound of the music, everything suits me.”
The main disadvantages of the new model - what should you remember?
As soon as you get into a car of a higher class, you understand why the Granta remains a budget vehicle and will never compete with more expensive foreigners. Everything here looks pretty nice, but it's best not to touch anything. The assembly is pretty disgusting, but slightly better than the old Granta. The car shows a bunch of minor flaws, but the price allows you to forgive most of them.
We will pay attention to the most unpleasant moments:
- the car's handling remained at a terrible level, since AvtoVAZ decided to use the old platform and practically did not fundamentally change anything in the implementation of the steering;
- H19 lamps in head optics - it is very difficult to explain why the concern’s engineers decided to install these particular lighting devices in the car, they are expensive and quite difficult to change;
- The inside door opening handles have become beautiful, but very inconvenient, it takes a long time to get used to the fact that you have to aim at the handle, and not everyone’s fingers can fit into the small slot;
- the comfort of the seats has not become much better, but the shape of the seats has been slightly improved, so that now your back will not ask for a stop every 50 km of the trip, but you can’t expect high comfort;
- quality of plastic - we expect a little better quality from a concern that claims to be completely rebooted and working for the client, so this point is a little striking.
It is always necessary to talk about the disadvantages of a Grant taking into account its cost, and in this regard, all the disadvantages disappear. Of course, mistakes like door opening handles and headlight lamps must be eliminated; these are technically incorrect and inconvenient solutions for the buyer, which should not exist in a modern car. However, in other respects it will be difficult to find fault with the car. By the way, the AMT robotic gearbox is no longer a disadvantage of the car; the Grant is equipped with the second generation of this unit with improved technology.
Chassis Lada Grants Liftback
Vladimir, liftback, owner reviews. “The car still makes me happy, there’s absolutely nothing to complain about. I checked the chassis on the eve of winter and everything is in perfect order, nothing is broken or out of order. It also starts easily and is not capricious.”
Nikita, Granta liftback 2022 reviews “The chassis is definitely the part that they put a lot of effort into. All uneven terrain and numerous bumps along the road are passed over perfectly; I remember the classic Renault Logan, whose suspension was also often praised. When driving the Grant, I immediately remembered Logan’s suspension, but the liftback’s is much more stable. A similar effect is achieved by castor on the front wheels, a stabilizer in the front, which was subsequently removed from Logan, and springs on the rear wheels. It’s a pity that such a high-quality suspension is simply not provided as standard.”
Maxim, reviews of the 2022 Lada Granta liftback “The shortcomings of this model are offset by the low price of the car. The main components, including the engine, fail quite rarely, and there is nothing to complain about the chassis in terms of reliability when moving.”
Pavel, new Lada Granta liftback reviews “The Lada Granta is equipped with a reliable 1.6-liter gasoline unit, the manual gearbox works consistently well and does not break down. The chassis and front-wheel drive also fail quite rarely.”
Alfaman, liftback 2022, reviews “Back in 2013, I purchased a mid-spec Lada Granta. As for the power and reliability of the engine, the stability of the gearbox and front-wheel drive, as well as the features of the chassis and user comfort indicators, everything is at a fairly high level for its price” Petr Efremov, liftback standard, review
Expenses for 6 years
In 2013, Lada Granta was purchased. In 2014 she drove without problems, there were no investments, as in 2015, 2016. That is, she drove for 4 years without repairs. In 2022, the glove compartment handle broke and it wouldn’t close.
This case cost 300 rubles. In 2022, the running lights bulb burned out and the clutch failed. Many people say that it has been running for more than 100 thousand, but apparently I was unlucky. The clutch disc cost 3400, its replacement cost 4000. But this work also included a scheduled replacement of the timing belt and oil. Therefore, I cannot say how much it cost to replace the clutch disc. Total – 7500 rubles.
There have been no further investments yet. I undergo maintenance twice a year - at the end of summer and after winter. I change the oil every 10 thousand km.
Granta has driven 90 thousand, I pour the same oil 10w40, but the last 2 times I filled it with 5w40. As for the price of oil, it will vary depending on how it turns out. The price already includes a filter. In total, I spent 12,500 rubles over the entire period of operation for oil changes.
Gasoline spends 4,000 rubles per month, I fill up a full tank 2 times for 2,000 rubles. I don’t travel a lot; my annual income is 48 thousand rubles. Consumption on the highway is 6 liters, if you drive 90-100, in the city 9.5 liters.
I don’t know whether this will be a lyric or not, but it seems to me that this is a bit much for such a small car with an 87 hp engine. With.
One of the disadvantages on the road is that the car is not respected in traffic.
The appearance is also not so great, it looks narrow and very tall. The torpedo does not crack too much, but it makes some sounds, there is no noiselessness.
The box whines, but when you drive for a long time, you get used to it.

Engine Lada Granta
“When choosing a car, the fundamental question for me was that the manufacturer must be VAZ. After reading many articles on this topic, it was decided to opt for Grant. Compared to the 99, which at one time drove almost half the country, Granta is definitely worthy of admiration. Based on all the technical characteristics, the car is definitely worthwhile. The 1.6-liter gasoline engine performs its functions at 5 plus and does not break down.”
Leonid Mavzeley, Lada liftback automatic reviews. “I’m definitely happy with my car. Of course, at first the gearbox and engine behaved a little unnaturally, but all faults were corrected under warranty. Most likely, this is an isolated case, and such problems with the engine manifest themselves immediately, so this will not happen on a used car. In general, the car is reliable, except for those cases with the gearbox and engine, there were no more problems"
Georgy Svetlov, lada granta liftback reviews “In one of the car dealerships of the official Lada network, I was told that the engine life will be about 300 thousand kilometers. In fact, until this number is reached, there will be no need to repair the engine. In any case, the safety of the engine depends largely on operation, oil use and other factors."
Airat Kadyrmaev, Lada Granta, liftback 2022 in the new review “Engine. An engine with sixteen valves is much quieter than the eight-valve one that I installed on my old Kalina. It works smoothly, but does not make noise like an aircraft carrier. Since I’m still running it in, I don’t put the pedal to the floor, but when accelerating it feels like it’s capable of more. In my opinion, this is exactly the kind of engine that should be in a car. I don’t regret the purchase at all”

Owner reviews
I won’t chew snot, since everything has already been said about the main features of the Grant. My car has driven a little over 900 km today. I’ll just describe my relationship with her.
The suspension still sometimes suddenly knocks the spine into the skull, but this is forgiven when it passes familiar disgusting roads quite comfortably. In most cases the suspension is great.
Factory wheels like "Kama" are not a fountain, of course. But recently I specifically used them on loose snow. I’ll tell you honestly - it can be worse: they cry, but they row.
I couldn’t decide on the dimensions of the rear of the Granta right away, I don’t even understand where the obstacle is, so I bought a cheap parking sensor from the “Sho-me” brand and stuck it into the rear bumper myself. It works quite correctly.
The owner drives a Lada Granta 1.6 (87 hp) MT 2015
Video review
I've been driving for almost 2 years now, I've only driven about 12,000 km. Operation all year round, highway/city, 50/50. I live in a suburban village, so I often need to travel to the city along the highway... There have been no serious breakdowns in two years.
— Quite a comfortable fit, I don’t get tired even when I go on long trips of more than 500 km. You sit like a glove.
— Quite comfortable ergonomics of the cabin, nothing superfluous, and there can’t be anything like that there.
— The interior dimensions are not the smallest; four people fit into the car quite well, without interfering with each other.
— I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the trunk, it is simply huge. At first I didn’t appreciate it, but when a small child appeared and the need to carry all sorts of junk appeared, the trunk went with a bang.
— Quite high ground clearance for a sedan, which is a big advantage on our roads (especially in winter).
— An excellent stove, it heats up by 5 even at -30 degrees, the interior warms up quite quickly.
— The engine starts even at -25 without using any auxiliary equipment, although if the street is below -20, then I try not to touch the car.
And now come the disadvantages of this device:
— Very poor sound insulation.
— The quality of the paintwork is very poor, which immediately lets you know that this is a car for a beggar like me. After only 1.5 years, rust appeared on the doors, weak but still. The same thing happens on the front hood, where all the salt and snot from the autumn and spring roads gets in.
— The car is quite rigid, either they wanted it to steer better in turns and roll less, which is actually present, or it’s just like that. Sometimes you’re driving along the highway and you have to slow down from 90 to 60-70 km/h because the ride becomes uncomfortable, and wild impacts from potholes and unevenness on the road begin. Especially on the original KAMA tires, motherfucker.
-Weak engine. The dynamics, so to speak, are very average. The car simply does not run on these 82 hp.
Review of Lada Granta 1.6 (82 hp) with manual transmission 2015
Any car, regardless of its price, has advantages and disadvantages for its owner, some things you like and some you don’t, and you, to the best of your ability, try to correct this and bring your car to an “ideal” state for yourself. In this article I would like to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the car in my opinion. Advantages:
1. The engine is the basis of all cars, and therefore it comes first, the Granta has a peppy engine, and a decent reserve of power, good torque, so there are no problems when overtaking, and even with passengers and cargo it has enough dynamics.
2. Good suspension; for domestic cars it handles bumps quite normally. 3. Adaptive steering that gets heavier as speed increases so it feels really good. 4. The sound insulation present is certainly not ideal, but it is still there from the factory and that’s a plus. 5. The presence of a standard alarm system in this configuration provides a key with remote control for opening/closing doors, as well as a glass closer. 6. A spacious trunk, although it is smaller in volume than that of a sedan, but the lion's share of the space there is eaten up by the arches on which the trunk lid is attached, and loading cargo is also not so convenient. 7. The presence of automatically switching on daytime running lights, although they began to be installed on all new cars, but having driven without automatic switching on, you understand their value. 8. This also includes air conditioning, multimedia, alloy wheels, Pirelli tires, the presence of all power windows, airbags, heated seats - their availability already depends on the vehicle’s equipment. There are many advantages, but these are the main ones. Now about the disadvantages
, which for some reason are always remembered better than the advantages. 1. The rear visibility of a car in this type of body is very poor; the rear window itself is large, but if you measure its height, it is approximately 20 cm, excluding the tinted part at the edges, which is quite small. Visibility is not very good anyway, but if you put two people in the back or put some kind of heavy load on it, then the back drops and visibility drops completely, this is of course a design flaw, but oddly enough, this has a small advantage, in the dark, driving behind cars practically do not dazzle unless they are driving right next to each other. 2. After it has rained and the car is wet, and you need to open the trunk, water gets inside if you open the door suddenly, so you have to lift the trunk door a little and wait until some of the water drains and then open it completely, perhaps this is a design flaw, Or maybe it was intended that way at the factory?! 3. The absence of anti-corrosion treatment as such for the underbody of the car, if a galvanized body for the domestic automobile industry is the ultimate dream, then it is better to at least make high-quality anti-corrosion treatment from the factory. 4. A terrible standard jack, I just can’t imagine how such a plastic miracle could be installed, a friend on a grant (sedan, normal) has a completely normal classic jack, but this is terrible.
What's annoying about the Lada Granta liftback: reviews from car owners
Published by: Andrey Demchenko in Lada Granta 03/25/2019 0 664 Views
What drivers like most about domestic cars is discussing the shortcomings. The Lada Granta liftback has raised many topics about its characteristics.
Many people, without even seeing a car, already begin to judge its practicality, but here we will look at real reviews from owners.
In the new body, much remained from its predecessor, so it was not possible to avoid mistakes, and there are many of them.
Vasily from Magadan
1.6 l 8-cl. (87 hp), 5MT
Standard
Taking into account the maximum benefit, I bought a Lada Granta liftback for less than 400 thousand rubles, which was very pleasing. I looked through owner reviews the day before the purchase, so I immediately knew about future shortcomings.
The first “jamb” identified was the sound insulation . You can hear the road almost all the time, not allowing you to really relax behind the wheel. The situation is slightly changed by additional sound insulation.
The seats leave much to be desired. With my massive build, I have to stop and get out of the car from time to time to relax. Manufacturers must definitely work on such aspects better, because it is difficult to come to terms with such shortcomings during a long trip.
The dynamics are present exactly up to 60 km/h. At a decent speed, it feels like a liftback from yesteryear, not a 2022 car. Of course, no one is going to race, but sometimes overtaking the vehicle in front becomes a difficult task.
A number of other identified disadvantages:
- as much as 6 thousand rubles. a bit much for mediocre body shades;
- the glove compartment is tiny and not suitable for a family man;
- dull interior without a hint of individuality;
- The mechanics work as they should, but I would still like a well-designed “robot.”
For such a low price and low consumption of the Lada Granta, the liftback remains a priority for drivers with low incomes. I wouldn't change anything. I recommend the liftback to all people who want a hard worker in their home - loading through the fifth door pleased me.
Evgeniy from Yekaterinburg
1.6 l 16-cl. (106 hp), 5AMT
Classic / Optima
There were no real reviews about the Lada Granta liftback at the time of purchase; I identified all the shortcomings myself. "Robot" works with a very strange pattern. Sometimes you don’t notice his work, but other days you want the good old mechanics. Although if you get used to specific gear changes, then life becomes easier.
The rear view mirrors are not wide enough. In corners and other bends, the situation behind is partially hidden. There were also serious complaints about the interior due to its simplicity. The lack of interesting solutions forced us to take matters into our own hands and buy various rugs...
For me, the Lada Granta station wagon turned out to be a complete disappointment. The first good emotions quickly gave way to a scattering of negative comments:
- the seats are really uncomfortable on a long journey;
- the trunk is not suitable for transporting most household appliances;
- the wheels make a really loud noise, sometimes drowning out your interlocutor;
- a hum appears with enviable regularity in the control center.
If it weren't for the price, I would have looked for another option. After restyling, the Lada Granta liftback remained a distinctly domestic product with an appropriate level of quality. Of course, for 500 thousand you can’t ask for much, but at the same time the comfort simply has to be a little higher.

- Initial version Standard includes only one airbag, audio preparation, ERA-GLONASS system, Isofix mount and 14-inch steel wheels.
Classic package is complemented by electric power steering and a tilt-adjustable steering column, front windows, two rear headrests, central locking and an on-board computer with an indicator of the optimal moment for shifting gears.

Reviews from owners of Lada Granta sedan 2019-2020
The engine is a simple and proven eight-valve engine. It pulls at the bottom, but the diesel engine idles and works like a tractor. But now it’s plug-free. And the timing belt is now recommended for replacement at (hold your breath) 180,000 km! I don’t believe it, but I’ll check it out!
Box. In a world that is rushing forward at breathtaking speed, there must be a place for traditions. How can I explain to my son that there was a GAZ-51 and a GAZ-52, and even the GAZ-53 had a box that howled... “How did it howl, dad?” And I proudly switch from third to second, saying: “That’s it”!
Alexander Pimenov, review of Lada Granta 1.6 (87 hp) manual transmission 2019
The cruise control is a little tricky when turning it on and off, but on the highway it’s a useful thing - it gives your leg a rest. The rain sensor scared me at first when the windshield wipers started working on their own when sprayed with water from oncoming traffic, but I think that the thing is also useful. Light sensor - well, this is normal for tunnels, but I don’t use it like that.
The trunk of 520 liters is the largest in its class, four wheels with discs fit easily. With the rear seat folded down, it carried 2.5 meter long skirting boards.
Vladimir, review of Lada Granta Lux Prestige 1.6 (106 hp) MT 2020
I have already bought my second Grant, only now a new one. I got normal brakes! On my first Grant, the travel was quite long before it set, and during the test drive of the luxury version there was a car with the same operating principle. Plus, in video reviews, people also noted this.
In general, this is still the same Granta with a normal engine by modern standards, with a good automatic transmission, which does not change a bunch of gears back and forth for the sake of some half-liter of savings, but is absolutely predictable and adequate on descents and ascents, with excellent dynamics for the city and maneuverability, which can be safely used, and not carefully moved, with a cool omnivorous suspension and decent ground clearance.
Review of Lada Granta Comfort 1.6 (98 hp) automatic, 2020.
Externally, I quite liked the Granta FL. The front part of the body is without question at all: modern, beautiful and harmonious. From the side, of course, the situation is a little worse, but the calico roots cannot be avoided, just as the width/height disproportion is visible from the rear, however, after moving the GRZ to the trunk lid, the appearance became a little more harmonious.
Salon. In general, I liked everything about the cabin, if you take into account the class and price of the car. In terms of space, of course, it’s a bit cramped, but not critical: “you can live,” that’s what I decided for myself... but it’s cheap!
Maxim, review about the new Lada Granta 1.6 (106 hp) manual 2020
Specifications
The new body of the Lada Granta 2022 is built on the basis of a front-wheel drive platform from Kalina with a transversely mounted engine. An independent MacPherson-type suspension is installed on the front axle of the four-door, and a semi-independent suspension with trailing arms and coil springs is installed at the rear.
In turn, the front wheels of the car received disc brakes, and the rear wheels received more affordable drum brakes. The Lada Granta FL sedan has the following overall dimensions, mm
- Length - 4 268
- Width - 1,700
- Height - 1,500
- Wheelbase - 2,476
- Ground clearance (clearance) - 145-160
The trunk volume of the four-door is 520 liters, and the fuel tank is installed at 50 liters. Curb weight varies from 1,040 to 1,100 kg and directly depends on the selected engine / configuration.
The line of power units of the Grant FL sedan is represented by three 1.6-liter four-cylinder engines that can work with manual, automatic or robotic transmissions.
- The most affordable version of the model is equipped with an eight-valve VAZ-11186 engine with a power of 87 hp. (140 Nm) and five-speed manual transmission. This car accelerates from zero to hundreds in 11.6 seconds, and its top speed is stated at 172 km/h.
- You can also choose a version with a sixteen-valve VAZ-21126 engine producing 98 horsepower (145 Nm). Only this unit comes in tandem with a four-speed Jatco automatic. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h is possible in 13.1 seconds, maximum speed is 176 kilometers per hour.
- The most powerful 16-valve engine VAZ-21127 develops 106 hp. and 148 Nm. This engine can work with either a five-speed manual or a robotic transmission. The version with a manual transmission is capable of accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 10.5 seconds, while the car with a robot is noticeably slower - 12.0 seconds. The maximum speed in both cases is 184 km/h.
The Lada Grant sedan cannot be called frisky, and it has absolutely nothing to provoke the driver to drive fast. The lack of dynamics is especially felt in the version with a 98-horsepower engine with an automatic transmission. This modification picks up speed well only up to 40 km/h, after which the speedometer needle creeps up extremely slowly, and dynamics appear only during kickdowns.
Feedback on the steering wheel of the model is slightly sluggish, and the car turns at speed with slight rolls. Certain questions also arise regarding the braking process: the pedal is too soft, and the pickup begins to be felt only after 40% of the pressure.
However, the Granta is not a sports car to require anything more from it, and for a car of its class it handles well. At the same time, the main advantage of the model is the practically impenetrable suspension, which ensures a very smooth ride even on broken and undulating surfaces.
The front seats in the new Lada Granta 2022 after restyling began to please the eye, but not everyone will like the seating itself. The seat back is quite high and comfortable, and the cushion could be longer. In addition, the updated cars use slightly stiffer padding, which is why on a long journey the desire to get out and stretch will appear more often than on an old-style car.
In turn, the main disadvantage of the second row is the narrow space in the area of the lower part of the doorways, which makes getting in and out difficult. The rear sofa here is three-seater, but three adults will hardly be comfortable, but it is quite possible to seat two adults and one child.
Interesting Facts
The Lada Granta sedan entered production back in two thousand and eleven, and now an updated version of the model, which was presented at the Moscow Motor Show in the summer of '18, is on sale. In addition to the sedan, the family also includes a liftback, hatchback and station wagon.
Lada Granta FL in the new body has an X-shaped front end, made in the same style as on Vesta and XRAY cars. The bumper has undergone a complete revision, receiving an expanded air intake and chrome inserts in the form of boomerangs. The sedan also received new head optics, as well as a different radiator grille.
In the interior, after restyling, the front panel from Kalina was installed with minimal changes. The button illumination became white instead of green, the rectangular ventilation deflectors in the center acquired an X-shaped edging, and the instrument panel was designed in the style of Vesta - the digitization was made radial, and the scales acquired orange rims.
Among the innovations, it is worth noting the appearance in the wheel arches of soft fender liners made of a special material that do not absorb moisture and absorb impacts from pebbles, as well as a trunk lock with a button and an electromechanical drive. The robot has a “crawling” mode and a “Sport” button, which activates faster shifting, as well as a stronger clutch.

Test drive Lada Granta liftback: disappointed expectations
The appearance did not deceive expectations: the car really looks great, especially in profile. Surprisingly, not just anyone, but AVTOVAZ managed to make a car with such a body and such dimensions harmonious. It’s a tempting idea to create a B-class that will be both beautiful and roomy. Tempting and complex. The VAZ team succeeded – not an ounce of heaviness, exactly the opposite: a swift, light silhouette, complemented by a couple of important details.
Firstly, the “tightened” front bumper looks nice, modern and “more expensive” than the previous one. Secondly, the same is true for the new mirrors with integrated turn signals (in Lux), which, among other things, no longer cause aerodynamic noise at high speeds.
Take a look again: the almost perfect roof line, falling towards the edge of the trunk, so clearly echoing the window sill line rising towards the stern. Such simple remedies and such adequate results. AVTOVAZ, why didn’t you do this before?! And behind the beautiful facade there is a very functional interior hidden.
Of course, when you get into this liftback, you get into Granta. Inexpensive plastic, inconvenient “twist” of the multimedia complex, the inability to put a half-liter bottle of mineral water in the cup holder and change gears of “mechanics”, a compromise “budget” driving position... There is no engine temperature indicator (however, it will appear on cars of the next model year), and the new gearshift lever knob looks a little clumsy and is not very convenient to handle - it’s a bit large...
However, it will be easy for consumers of products under the Lada brand to get used to all this - these are not such shortcomings compared to what journalists wrote about in the context of AVTOVAZ several years ago. Yes, the rear headrests still have to be removed when folding the “sofa” (and the designers probably can’t get away with this), but after you’ve found a place for them in the cabin...
That very moment when the car does not deceive for the second time, but rather exceeds expectations. Looking at the huge area with a flat floor, everyone will think about their own: a student - about a pleasant evening on the river bank in the company of a girlfriend, a pensioner - about almost ripened seedlings on the windowsill, eager to move to the country... The trunk volume, even with the back of the rear seat raised, is 440 liters . This is almost the same as the sedan, much more than the Kalina hatch, and (attention!) more than the Kalina station wagon! And at the same time, despite the sloping roof, people with a height of “180+” sit quietly in the back.
How does she drive? You can say “like Grant,” but in fact there are several options for answering this question. We tried different versions of the liftback, and this is what we came up with. The manual transmission has once again been slightly modified, the gears are now engaged a little more clearly, but the innate hum of the gears has not been eliminated. In addition, the wheel arches are severely lacking in sound insulation.
But the liftback has a luxury version with gas-filled struts, which make the car noticeably stiffer on bumps, but also much less rolly in corners. I wish the steering wheel had a little more feedback, but even here the design possibilities for improvement have already been selected to the maximum - an increased caster angle, revised characteristics of the elements, and negative rear camber too...
But the Granta is hardly a driver’s car in principle (if you don’t consider a completely separate Sport version), so all other versions, except the luxury one, have ordinary “oil” struts that will cope perfectly with country potholes and other vicissitudes of fate.
On the other hand, if we compare the liftback with the sedan, the difference in the “drive” is obvious: the car has become more composed, in a fast turn it is not so prone to skidding the rear and is more similar to the exemplary (if we keep in mind the Lada line) Kalina, whose turning ability is close to neutral. Budget tires LingLong also brought a surprise - of course, they start squealing early, but at the same time they hold tenaciously (just don’t go to the Nurburgring on them), and in addition, they work well as an addition to suspension elements when driving over uneven surfaces.
In general, there are no complaints about the power units - AVTOVAZ has always been able to make good engines, the rule “do no harm” applies here. No harm done - the 106-horsepower engine, combined with a manual transmission, perfectly pulls the car up on a slight incline in fifth gear, and the traction reserve is enough to overtake a strainingly crawling truck without resorting to shifts. With a 98 hp engine, which was “made friends” with the Japanese Jatco automatic transmission, the Granta is a little slower in accelerating to “hundreds”, but within one second, so the subjective sensations are pleasant.
True, such a Grant is unlikely to shine in terms of efficiency - it is extremely difficult to get a consumption of less than 12 l/100 km. But in general, the “automatic” option is so cool (with it, honestly, I want to throw out of my head the thoughts that mechanics are labor, and two-pedal cars are for girls), that with a difference of 2 or 3 liters per 100 km you can come to terms with it. In the end, you have to pay for everything. And you must agree that an automatic transmission in this segment is not even a rarity, but an almost unprecedented luxury. By the way, the “automatic” option is noticeably more expensive. But such cars already have a buyer.
Liftbacks, like sedans, are equipped with the latest generation Bosch ABS with the BA emergency braking function, and in the luxury version they are complemented with the ESP exchange rate stability system. In addition to active safety, there is passive safety - low-cost versions have one airbag, while “normal” and luxury versions have two. Thank God, we didn’t test the airbags, but the ABS works correctly, if not intelligently – not a hint of the rough “jackhammer” in the brake pedal on the first Grants.
What about the brakes themselves? I have something to compare with - after all, the first generation Kalina was the family car for seven years. Yes, they have become better - the “vacuum unit” was improved jointly with Renault-Nissan, so the pedal travel has been reduced, and the force increases more smoothly. You start to think “almost like a foreign car,” and then you remember Largus, which is also a Lada and, at the same time, indeed, albeit a budget one, but a “foreign car.” That's where the brakes are. There is a pendant. There is plastic, which is just as cheap, but creaks less after a few thousand kilometers... In general, the Lada brand still clearly has room to grow.
So a Lada Granta in a liftback body means really high expectations. The expectations of the factory workers themselves - before launching completely new models, it is so important to have a strong springboard. Journalists' expectations - is this really the AVTOVAZ that could do it? And this is also consumer expectations. The car will definitely find its buyer. She will be appreciated. She is a very adequate “today” of the domestic automobile industry.
Exterior
The main changes in appearance are a completely new “face”, which is made in the style of the Vesta and X-RAY models. New Lada Granta 2020
model year received the so-called “X-face”, that is, a front end with a stylized letter X. This “X” combines optics and a false radiator grille. In addition, the hood and front fenders were replaced. Some journalists praise this decision. Others, on the contrary, argue that it turned out ridiculous. But this is a matter of taste.
The “stern” has also changed. The trunk of the sedan received a new door due to the fact that with the previous part the “tail” looked overweight. The rest of the bodies have only new bumpers at the rear. After all, if you read the reviews of the owners, there is almost no criticism of the exterior of the five-door options.
And also – and this is important – body-colored bumpers will be available on all trim levels. Previously, basic Grants had them made of unpainted plastic. In addition, the alloy wheels were replaced.
Interior
The salon can be called new and not new at the same time. After all, if earlier on Grant
and
Kalina
had a different front panel, but now, with the “unification”, all options received an interior from the so-called Kalina-2. The main changes to the interior are the backlighting of the keys in white (previously it was green) and an X-shaped frame around the central deflectors of the ventilation system. In addition, in the photo of the interior it is noticeable that the instruments have orange semicircles. And the numbers are now “looking” to the sides.
Salon
The interior is normal, the seats are covered. Therefore, if you remove them, you will have completely new chairs.
The steering wheel got worn out within the first 2-3 years, so it now has a braid on it that laces up like this.
Otherwise everything is fine, the plastic is hard and difficult to damage.
Specifications
the Lada Granta 2020 car
configurations and prices technical characteristics cannot be called outstanding, extraordinary or ultra-modern.
No, because we are talking about the “budget”. Moreover, some solutions (for example, two two-pedal versions of the scale) seem strange at first. But, if you watch the Lada Granta 2020 test drive video
, you can find logical explanations in these videos. The suspension system, as usual, is configured for maximum comfort when driving, including through pits. But at the same time the car behaves collectedly.
Dimensions Length varies from 4 to 4.25 meters, depending on body type. Other dimensions remain unchanged. The width is 1.7, and the height is one and a half meters. Wheelbase - almost 2.48 m. Ground clearance - almost off-road 18 cm. After all, the surface in our country is sometimes very bad, it’s difficult without high ground clearance.
Motors and transmissions
About the car Lada Granta 2020
recent news reports that the volume of engines that are installed in Tolyatti on these cars is only
The rated fuel consumption, of course, is higher than that of the “Europeans” with their small-capacity turbo engines. But Grantu’s naturally aspirated engines are simpler in design and much cheaper – and this is very important.
Eight-valve cars are content with a five-speed manual transmission. For more powerful Grants, an AMT “robot” or a four-band classic “automatic” from the famous Japanese company Jatco are offered as an alternative. Why two boxes? For selection. After all, about the Lada Granta 2020
The latest news says that, for example, car sharing companies only choose a unit with a torque converter. “Robot” doesn’t suit them fundamentally.
Equipment and equipment - what can you buy in the showroom?
The sedan remains the cheapest representative; other solutions will cost a little more. In its base, the machine costs 435,000 rubles, but taking into account various programs and promotions from both the state and the manufacturer, you can save up to 70,000 rubles. This is a good opportunity to get a car very inexpensively. Everything about the technical specifications is quite complicated, as always with Lada. However, the machine was qualitatively modified to create a new model.
It is worth noting the following characteristics:
- all engines are naturally aspirated, have a volume of 1.6 liters, there are options for 87 hp. for the basic version, 98 horsepower for the automatic and 106 horsepower for the top versions and for those who love drive;
- a 5-speed manual is installed as the base box, the best solution would be a 4-band classic automatic, and there is also a proprietary AMT robot for the powerful engine;
- There are many configurations, you can choose the optimal set of equipment for yourself and buy something separately, the list of configurations contains everything you need for your comfort in the car;
- the company presented the car in 8 colors, of which only 4 really look good, the rest are quite strange, but they are also ordered, as was the case with the previous model;
- the most expensive version with a 98-horsepower engine, automatic and in the Luxe configuration will cost the buyer 624,800 rubles, and this is a very reasonable price if you look at the competitors.
The expensive version comes with a good set of airbags, an alarm system, DRLs, PTF, ABS and even BAS (braking assist). An on-board computer is installed, and there is a 12V socket in the cabin for phones and other devices. The steering wheel is power-assisted, there is climate control, a beautiful folding key, adjustments for everything that can be adjusted, heated front seats, cruise control with a speed limiter and other interesting things. There are even 15-inch alloy wheels with a pretty good design.
Safety
Many of those people who may want to buy Lada Granta 2020
, are interested not only in engines or gearboxes.
