It has already become a tradition to measure the weight of your cars))
I don’t prove anything to anyone, purely for my own interest)
Weight without driver, 5 liters of gasoline in the tank... sound and vibration insulation of all doors, trunk floor and rear wings, 3 amplifiers, raised floor and buffer... well, acoustics in the doors...
The total weight turned out to be 1220 kg... well, add 35 liters of gasoline here to compare with the vehicle... and we get 1255 kg
The number indicated in the title is 1140 kg... this is the curb weight, taking into account the driver in theory... subtracting 70 kg of the driver 1140-70 = 1070 kg.
Compare with my measurements...1255-1070=185 kilos...185 kilos Karl!
Have my modifications really increased the rated weight of the car so much))
Or does the title indicate the weight without a driver...
How much a Lada Granta weighs is a rather interesting question. In terms of its dimensions, the machine is considered compact. Today it is the most budget-friendly, affordable and high-quality car in the Russian automobile industry. What are the features of the car and how much does it weigh?
Basic information about the car
The new car was released in 2011 under the proud name Lada Granta. The noble sedan attracts with its external appearance and high-quality internal content. The car was developed by Russian manufacturers and is considered a real bestseller among the entire Lada model range. A year and a half after its release, the car became the most successful and in demand. Lada owners are satisfied with their purchase.
Lada Granta is made from four hundred original components. Noteworthy:
This sedan is based on the long-known Lada Kalina. Lada Granta has a length of 4260 mm, a width of 1700 mm, a height of 1500 mm, and the body has increased to 220 mm. This allowed the car to maintain decent dimensions for this class.
Dimensions of the car
Renault's innovations were used to develop the Lada Grant, but thanks to the contribution of domestic automakers, the price of the car was significantly reduced. The curb weight of the vehicle is 1040-1100 kg. It all depends on the model. At the same time, the total weight of the machine can vary between 1515-1575 kg. This is influenced by the vehicle's equipment.
For a model with very impressive dimensions, this weight is considered optimal.
We bring Lada Granta and Kalina lighters to Vesta Sport
Lada Granta Sport today costs 610 thousand rubles, Kalina is 7000 more expensive. There is no choice of trim levels, but by VAZ standards the equipment is very rich, and many people buy the Sport precisely because of this. Homologation Kalina NFR is a different story. They are asking 850 thousand for it.
Suddenly. The press service of AvtoVAZ will present the model range of VAZ's subsidiary Lada Sport at the Dmitrovsky training ground. Granta Sport has been in production for the fifth year, and Kalina Sport for the fourth year. Of course, since last year, Lada Sport 1.6 engines have been retuned for Euro 5, losing four “horses” and ten Newton meters as a result, but is this a reason for a test drive? Anyway, I’m going. At least get to know the Kalina NFR (136 hp versus 114 for the Sports, front suspension on a subframe, Renault brakes). She is only two years old. And at the same time, discuss with the Togliatti residents the main Ladosport novelty of the near future, the “charged” Vesta.
Technically, Granta and Kalina Sport are twin brothers, and the driving experience is the same. Up to three to four thousand revolutions, the engine with proprietary camshafts and mufflers pulls without enthusiasm, but also without dissatisfaction. At the top of the tachometer scale, acceleration is confident, although by the standards of real hot hatches, almost ten seconds to a hundred - this is so, acceleration. The point is not at all about Euro-5, the harmful influence of which is barely perceptible, but about the ideology of inexpensive tuning of conveyor engines.
All observations from the Kalina Sport test two years ago are relevant. The suspension is a little harsh, but its energy capacity is excellent. The short ratios are surprisingly good around town, although on the highway the torque makes the ears wilt. The motor twitches convulsively in transient modes. The brakes still squeak. What’s new is the complete abandonment of Korean Mando electric amplifiers in favor of Kaluga-based Avtoelektronika. The reactive action on the steering wheel is indistinct, impacts from bumps in turns are not filtered.
Nevertheless, in general, the Sports are harmonious: all consumer properties are at the same average level - you can love these cars not in spite of, but because of all these vibrations and squeaks that do not subside at any speed. They are alive. And literally unique: each of the four tested Kalina and Grant groans in its own way, the engines twitch differently when fuel is supplied, the mirrors shake with different amplitudes, and the relay under the panel ticks with a unique frequency. Even the desynchronization of the movements of the left and right windshield wiper blades has an individual signature.
The company is busy preparing Vesta Sport, and no one will modernize these cars. The production volume (approximately 3,000 cars per year, two thirds of which are Grants), allowing Lada Sport to balance on the brink of profitability, will only fall. Togliatti residents are racking their brains over how to expand the geography of actual sales, because today a good half of the products are sold in the southern regions - for example, the Stavropol and Krasnodar territories. Moreover, buyers call the main advantage of Sports... a large trunk. What kind of Vesta Sport does it have to be to shoot?
Certainly not as unbalanced as the Kalina NFR. The increase of 22 horsepower is unnoticeable: the engine with the original receiver seems livelier only if you change to NFR straight from Sport. Even according to the passport, the gain at acceleration to 100 km/h does not exceed 0.3 seconds. The NFR jumps around unevenly, causing fear for the rare ultra-low-profile 205/40 R17 tires. The loss of smoothness is partly compensated by more accurate and linear steering responses, but the Chinese Comforser CF700 tires grip poorly and slip early. The NFR has no unity of character.
The brakes are the only thing I approve of: interacting with the short-stroke drive is pleasant, even despite the low efficiency due to inferior tires. However, the pads on the pedals do not make it easier to shift the throttle: there is an impressive gap between the brake and the accelerator. The general feeling of being unfinished is true: the real mission of the NFR is to serve as a homologation for rally and circuit equipment. There are different shock absorbers, and the engine has been finished. Of the fifty Kalina NFRs produced, barely half were sold. Of course: they are 115 thousand more expensive than the top-end Vesta.
Production of Vesta Sport will start in December, and sales will begin in March 2018. Expensive and outrageous ideas like Renault's six-speed gearbox have been abandoned, and it will only be a sedan. Engineers admit that working with a modern car is much more pleasant than working with a platform that evolved from the VAZ-2108 of the early 80s. The design potential is much higher, there are fewer inherent defects. But in general, the set of modifications is similar to the current Sports.
The simpler Vesta Drive Active will receive a slightly boosted VAZ 1.8 engine with a power of 125-130 hp, and the price guide in today's conditions is 850 thousand rubles. A real Vesta Sport is already 149 hp. from the same engine and about 950 thousand. Both cars have a standard five-speed gearbox and a shortened main gearbox. Such a car will be on the market between top-end B-class sedans (120-125 hp, 700-920 thousand rubles) and, for example, the Kia cee'd GT hatchback (204 hp, 1.3 million rubles). Looks tempting. Will AvtoVAZ and Lada Sport really not be late for once?

Disadvantages and advantages of the car
Like any other model, the Lada Granta has its advantages and disadvantages. The main disadvantages of the model include:
- There is noticeable play in the steering wheel. This deviation is clearly visible in the zero position, especially when driving along the highway, especially when it is uneven.
- The opening between the glass and the roof. It does not have a seal, which entails the possibility of corrosion.
- Somewhat ridiculous and inharmonious design.
- Poor quality door handles.
- Lack of roof rails to secure the trunk.
- Poor lighting in the rear of the car.
- Lack of temperature indication indicating the condition of the fluid in the engine.
- Limitation of maintainability due to weak fastening of hinges.
- Lack of headrests and foot mats as standard.

Features, malfunctions and repair of the Lada Granta Sport engine
The basis for the creation of the first serial sports engine was the 21126 Priora engine, with a lightweight ShPG and, very importantly, with wider shafts. This engine was equipped with TMS lift camshafts 9.55/9.15, phase 288/282, modified intake, exhaust with a spider, and of course its own firmware. All this added up to a smooth engine, running from the bottom without problems and developing about 120 hp. See the graph for its measurement below. By nature, the engine up to 3000 rpm drives like a regular 126 engine, then it’s faster until the cutoff. Fuel consumption on the Grant Sport has remained virtually unchanged (with quiet operation). Otherwise, this is a Priora engine with all its shortcomings and features, the malfunctions and their causes coincide one to one, we read about them in the section “Faults 21126“.
Engine tuning Lada Granta Sport 1.6 16V
The design of the Granta Sport motor is no different from the 126 Priora motor; when modified, the shafts will change and there will be no differences at all. How to properly tune everyone’s favorite 126 engine, so as not only to preserve the resource, but also ease of use in the city, as well as how to tune it for all the money, is described HERE.
ENGINE RATING: 3+
The sports novelty has dimensions of 4275x1809x1810 mm (length, height, width, respectively). The minimum weight of the Granta Sport is 1030 kg, the wheelbase is 2560 mm, and the minimum ground clearance is 80 mm.
The Lada Granta Sport is based on the 1.6-liter engine of the Lada Priora, but it has been modified beyond recognition. As a result, the updated engine is capable of developing power up to 235 horsepower and has a torque of 280 Nm. The engine is installed on the Grant from the front and without tilting. There is a turbocharger with an excess pressure of 1.2 atm. The engine is liquid cooled and is capable of reaching up to 6.5 thousand revolutions per minute. The cylinder blocks are made of cast iron, the diameter of each cylinder is 82 mm. The connecting rods with a split lower head (51.33 mm) are made of steel. Center-to-center condition 129.2 mm. A toothed belt is used to drive the valves.
The 5-bearing engine crankshaft is cast and made of cast iron. Sliding bearings were used during assembly. Using an electronic dosing method, an injection system was implemented in which there are sensors for the crankshaft, throttle valve, temperature of exhaust gases and coolant, oil and fuel, as well as their pressure, oxygen, phase and detonation sensors. The actuators of the injection system are injectors, a fuel pressure regulator and a high-pressure fuel pump.

The VAZ 21126 1.6 l engine is designed for the VAZ 2170 Priora car. This engine is based on model 21124. The goal of the designers was to increase the reliability of the engine and increase its power. The engine is four-stroke, with distributed fuel injection, in-line, with an overhead camshaft. The engine cooling system is liquid, closed type, with forced circulation of liquid. The engine has a combined lubrication system: pressure and splash. Read more about Engine VAZ 21126 1.6 ...
The VAZ-21127 engine can be used for installation on Lada Priora, Lada Kalina 2 and Lada Granta cars. On LADA Vesta and LADA Xray cars, this engine comes with the index 21129 (a new control unit for Euro-5 and adaptation for a Renault gearbox). The VAZ-21127 internal combustion engine is an improved modification of the 1.6-liter VAZ-21126 engine. These internal combustion engines are practically no different. The main feature is that the VAZ-21127 engine, unlike the VAZ-21126, is equipped with an adjustable intake (the original intake system with a resonance chamber and a damper system). Read more about the VAZ-21127 engine...
The 120 engine of the Lada Granta-Sport is no less durable and reliable than the prototype (the 21126th engine of the “second Kalina”). To increase power, different camshafts are installed here (with a modified cam profile). Reducing the exhaust-intake resistance is one more and final “mechanical” change. It was possible to achieve maximum power by changing the firmware. Read more about the Granta Sport 120 engine...
The VAZ 21114 engine is a modified version of the 2111 engine. The purpose of the modification was to increase the volume of the internal combustion engine to 1600 cm3. and improving environmental performance to meet the requirements of European standards. There are several configuration options. The 21114 engine, depending on the configuration, can meet the environmental requirements of Euro 2, Euro 3, or Euro 4. Read more about the VAZ 21114 1.6l engine...
Engine 21116 is a modified version of engine 21114 modification, with a displacement of 1.6 liters and a power of 87 horsepower. This power unit has proven itself in operation as a fairly reliable option that combines throttle response and excellent efficiency indicators. The motor is easy to maintain and allows the car owner to carry out the necessary repair work independently. Read more about VAZ 21116 1.6l engine...
Technical aspects: motor capabilities and add-ons
The technical characteristics of the power unit are undoubtedly important for any car, not to mention sports versions. The Lada Granta Sport we are considering has quite high engine capabilities at an attractive price.
The 16-valve unit has 4 cylinders, the working volume of which is 1.6 liters. The power that the engine of the domestic model can produce reaches 119 hp. With.
Against this background, the dynamic and speed capabilities look attractive, which respectively achieve:
- 9.5 seconds to the first 100 km per hour;
- 197 km per hour.
With such power, the Lada Granta Sport will certainly be of interest to those who like to ride with the breeze. The specified balance of characteristics allows us to classify the Russian model as one of the most profitable purchasing options offered by AvtoVAZ.
In addition to the purpose of using the LADA Granta Sport as a car to get positive emotions from high-speed driving, you can simultaneously consider the question of the applicability of the modification to everyday use in work mode. This is confirmed by a very modest fuel consumption, not exceeding 7.8 liters for a mixed driving cycle. This parameter allows the car to be suitable for long-distance voyages without the risk of incurring a large sum of money spent on fuel.
Let's touch the suspension
Here the engineers have shown skill in terms of settings that allow you to both comfortably move over uneven areas and stably cruise along the highway.
The rear suspension is moderately rigid, even despite the presence of a semi-independent design. This eliminates the car’s tendency to roll during sharp maneuvers, and is also an excellent help in terms of stability, which is important for inexperienced “Grantavods”.
Our power. so how many ponies do we have under the hood?
Hello friends, First of all, thanks to everyone who suggested and gave advice in the previous entry - “Maybe someone knows?”
the answer has been received, the muse has arrived - I’ll leave the button either for changing the firmware with a simultaneous change of color on the dashboard green/red (if I can figure out how to implement this), or simply for the accelerator gas pedal. After reading the comments, it became clear to me that the Grant has much more trim levels than I thought, and the Lux is not a luxury at all. I decided to get information on the website of the official dealer and came across this page rus-auto.lada.ru/ds/cars/granta/sport/tth.html, for those who don’t want to jump around the sites - its screenshot:
And what I saw was a comparative characteristic of Activ and Sport: power 106 hp and 114 hp, respectively, torques are almost equal...
I remember when Sports first appeared, we were talking about 120 hp, then - 118, now 114... what kind of sport version is this, with an increase of as much as
space
- only a very sensitive person can catch this difference... I’m waiting for the weekend to go for a test drive, I want to see on the road if I can feel the difference. When I bought the Active, there seemed to be a Sport test, but it was very subjective, because before that I had only driven automatics for six months - while I was adapting to working with the clutch, the test ended, and for the couple of blocks that it lasted the car was slipping in all gears. (fierce power)))).
120 and 114 - for tax - this is the same figure, it’s understandable when they underestimate hp from 151 to 149, there the difference is very noticeable, but here... So, after all, what power does this car have, and is the difference in acceleration worth half a second 70 000 rub?

Body features and parameters
Among car enthusiasts, there is a category whose representatives, when first getting acquainted with a car, tend to pay attention to the spaciousness of the model, and subsequently to the speed capabilities. Note that the overall parameters of the LADA Granta Sport allow for the transportation of medium-sized standard cargo, because the volume of the luggage compartment is 520 liters.
Body technical characteristics are slightly superior to those present in the “rival sister” Kalina Sport, but they are not capable of having a significant impact on increasing the degree of comfort in the cabin.
- the length of the car “grew” to 428 cm;
- width was 170 cm;
- height is characterized by 147 cm;
- note that the front axle track is 143 cm, and the rear axle track is only 1 cm narrower (i.e. 142 cm);
- base – 249 cm.

Let's sum it up
Purchasing a Granta Sport will undoubtedly be a profitable undertaking, since the owner, for an affordable amount of money, receives a car with enviable dynamic capabilities, excellent practicality and low maintenance costs, technical characteristics are also at the proper level. One should not lose sight of such an important aspect as the Granta’s maintainability, which positions it favorably against the background of competing foreign cars. You can seek service assistance from any station that provides such services, and you can also resort to independent repair of some components or systems.
What is the volume of the gas tank
Regardless of the modification of the Grant, the volume of its fuel tank is the same and is exactly 50 liters.
To this amount of gasoline should be added about 2 liters already supplied to the fuel supply system and the fuel filter. As a result, the maximum fuel for Grant will be 52 liters.
As previously noted, the car manufacturer indicates that only 95 gasoline should be used. In turn, reviews indicate that the car drives much more economically with this brand than with the cheap 92. Although critics note that they have no problems with the latter type of fuel - studies have proven that in total, their expenses (albeit insignificantly) , but higher.
Lada Granta with a 16-valve engine
Since progress does not stand still, 16-valve engines have become the basis of all modern cars in the Grant line. But it should be immediately noted that the Lada Granta with a 16-valve engine quite often breaks the timing belt. In this regard, its timely replacement should be treated carefully.
This motor was developed more than 10 years ago. It is considered to be a continuation of the line of engines installed on the VAZ-21124. In turn, experts consider this engine to be one of the highest quality and most reliable, across the entire range of domestic cars.
Engine power is 98 hp. s., and the maximum speed is 5.6 thousand per minute. But the torque is no longer so impressive - 145 Nm at a speed of 4 thousand. Separately, it should be noted that some owners of cars with this engine complain about difficulties starting it when the temperature outside is below zero.
It should also be noted that the compression ratio of the cylinder is 11. As a result, the above advantages led to the fact that this engine also had some disadvantages. So, for example, during city driving, fuel consumption immediately increases to 9.8 liters per hundred. And if the timing belt breaks, the valves will be bent.
This motor was released only three years ago, so it is considered quite new. Its power is 106 hp. s., and the torque is 148 Nm, which is achieved at 4000 rpm.
Unfortunately, the service life of this engine is only 200 thousand kilometers. But there is also a positive point, which is the greater thrust of the engine, especially at the “bottoms”.

Granta Sport vs Priora
Now let’s conduct a comparative analysis of the Lada Granta Sport versus the Lada Priora. Who will win this competition? Having examined the Lada Granta Sport, let's now study its predecessor, the Lada Priora. It was published in 2007, appearing four years earlier than the plant's bestseller, Grants. But even then the car showed great potential and surprised not only with its attractive design, but also with good technical capabilities, reliability, practicality, and unpretentiousness.
The Priora is in many ways reminiscent of the “ten” and is made on the same platform, but with the introduction of multiple upgrades. This is not surprising, because all AvtoVAZ projects are an evolution of experience, where one model is associated with another community of assembly technology, design, and technology. But, despite this, the concern’s experts claim that Priora is a completely different development that differs from the “ten”.
The Priora's interior was made not by domestic craftsmen, but by an Italian company. But even this move did not achieve much: after several thousand runs, creaking and noise appear inside the car. The ergonomics of the model deserves a “4” rating. Under the hood there is a good engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 98 hp. s., developing a maximum speed of 170 km/h. The car reaches hundreds in 11.5 seconds. Priora is offered in two versions:
In the basic configuration, at an affordable price, only a box on wheels is offered without any additional operating functions. But the luxury one pleasantly surprises with the presence of ABS, EBD, passenger-side airbag, and air conditioning. For a domestic car this is already a lot.
So, Granta came out much later and therefore managed to acquire more innovative solutions in the field of construction and design. The two cars are strikingly different from each other in terms of visual characteristics: shape, lines, headlight optics and many others. Here, of course, the Lada Granta takes the lead. According to technical data, 197 km/h versus 170 km/h, it clearly wins, and Granta’s equipment is much better.
The atmosphere in the Granta cabin, unlike Priora, leaves pleasant associations: it seems that you are driving a budget, but foreign car. However, in terms of price, the scales tip towards the old Priora, because it can be bought at a price of 420,000 to 520,000 rubles. depending on the configuration. So, the final score is 2:1 in favor of the Lada Granta Sport.
There were no casualties
Not forgetting about budget restrictions, engineers and designers nevertheless made many changes, turning the three-volume body into a two-volume one. The original front bumper with black inserts made the car visually wider - a useful modification for a B-class representative with high ground clearance and a high interior. The sedan will soon get the same detail, but with one exception: the Granta in the “Standard” configuration will retain the same unpainted bumper. Side mirrors have been changed. In the top-end configuration, they were equipped with double turn indicators, as has already been done on the Priora. Later, the same mirrors will appear on the three-volume vehicle.
Price of Lada Granta Sport 2190 on the secondary market
On the secondary market, prices start at 250,000 rubles, but new cars cost about half a million.

Sports cars are capable of attracting the attention of not only racers, but also ordinary fans of dynamic and careful city driving. A very attractive representative of the cohort of sports models is the product of the domestic automobile industry, namely the Lada Granta Sport.
Next, we will discuss in detail the main and important technical characteristics of this car. Note that the capabilities of the “Russian” are in no way inferior to those of its classmate foreign cars.
Let’s not go to extremes and compare the Lada Granta Sport with a 3-liter Lexus in terms of dynamic and speed capabilities, because the outcome of an irrelevant duel is obvious in advance. It’s another matter to compete with one-volume (1.6 liter) cars of foreign origin. Lada Granta Sport is favorably positioned here thanks to its affordable price combined with excellent dynamic and power performance.
