Review of the “Standard” configuration of the Lada Granta: a dream of the domestic consumer?


The most common and relatively inexpensive sedan from a domestic manufacturer is the Lada Granta and its basic version. According to the tasks of AvtoVAZ, this car was supposed to act as a replacement for the Lada fifth and seventh models, which had already become a classic of the Russian automobile industry. Especially the Standard package.

This Lada Granta car is the basic one in the line of new sedans produced in Togliatti. The first copies began to go on sale at the very end of 2011. At first, its cost was 229,000 rubles. This was the basic version. However, from April 1, 2012, it increased by 10,000 rubles. Then AvtoVAZ representatives said that the price increase was caused by inflation. But some experts are of the opinion that the rise in price is primarily due to the high demand for this brand of car, what is included in the car and what are its characteristics?

The official presentation to the general public of the new Grant should take place at the Moscow Motor Show, which opens at the end of August this year. In addition, the manufacturer is preparing another version of the Lada Granta City, which will appear in the near future.

The cheapest standard version of the Lada Granta is the most popular among buyers. Its important qualities are simplicity and ease of use.

Unlike more expensive assemblies, the “Standard” model does not have additional comfort or safety systems. But it is great for daily commutes and long family trips.

Popularity

In general, it becomes clear that the Lada Granta has firmly taken its position in the automobile market, and in the coming years it is unlikely to be supplanted by another domestic car. VAZ’s pricing policy is slowly changing, and the simple “Grants” package is becoming cheaper. In addition, the most economical car enthusiasts buy a car directly from the manufacturer’s factory, which allows them to save about fifty thousand in their wallet. At the end of 2013, the Lada Granta, along with such a car as the Hyundai Solaris, was recognized as the most popular car of the year.

The VAZ Lada Granta has configurations and prices to suit every taste and budget. “Lada Granta Standard”, on average, in showrooms costs from 239,000 rubles, “Lada Granta Norma” costs from 269,000 rubles, and the best “Lada Granta Lux” costs from 300,000 rubles. These prices, although not the lowest among domestic cars, are quite acceptable and affordable to almost every car enthusiast.

Dimensions and power parameters of the standard Grants

The inexpensive Lada Granta standard equipment includes dimensions that fully correspond to other cars from this series. The length of the body is 426 cm, the width is 170 cm, and the height is only 150 cm.

The wheelbase of the car is 247.6 cm, the front and rear tracks are 143 and 141.4 cm. The trunk volume holds as much as 520 liters, which allows the car owner to transport fairly large cargo. The gas tank volume is 50 liters.

The power plant in the Lada Granta standard equipment is an 8-valve engine with a volume of 1.6 liters. The engine power is 80 hp, and the engine runs on 95 grade leaded gasoline.

Fuel consumption for the modification is about 7.6 liters in mixed mode and about 10-11 in the urban area. The car is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission. The maximum vehicle speed can reach 165 km/h, and acceleration to 100 is 12.6 seconds.

Prospects

These are the main configurations of the Lada Granta, but the VAZ concern did not stop there. Observing the sales of Granta, manufacturers came to the conclusion that the experiment was a success, and it is slowly displacing even Kalina from the market. Many en masse work as taxis and for the official needs of their employees. Therefore, the Lada Granta 2013, which can be equipped in Standard, Norma and Luxury formats, has acquired a hatchback modification. This is already a completely modern car, which is systematically taking its place on Russian roads. Young drivers, and especially women, fell in love with the Granta for its elegance and style.

Additional installations and features of interior equipment Grants “Standard”

The initial equipment of the Granta Standard cabin is quite modest, but this in turn is a kind of advantage. The buyer, if desired, will be able to ideally re-equip the vehicle for personal use and supplement it with everything necessary.

When purchasing from a car dealer, you can find out the cost of all installations and their availability. And since the price of the car itself is quite small, with a minimal investment you can buy everything you need and even re-equip it yourself. The most popular modifications among new owners of the standard equipment are the following:

1. Passenger handrails.

2. Central locking.

3. Airbags.

4. Anti-theft alarm.

5. Lamp lamps for the rear row and trunk.

6. Rear seat headrests.

The car is initially equipped with ISOFIX child seat mounts and special latches for locking the rear locks. Additionally, the standard Lada Granta equipment to provide increased protection includes an immobilizer that allows you to lock the vehicle systems. The vehicle is equipped with daytime running lights.

The rear seats have a common design without a 40:60 split, and a special automotive fabric with increased strength and wear resistance is used as a cover for the seats. Like all other models in this series, there is a sun visor for the driver.

Plenty of choice

It should be noted that the configurations of the Lada Granta are different, or rather, there are only three of them: the Lada Granta Standard, the Lada Granta Norma, and the Lada Granta Luxury. The manufacturer, that is, the VAZ concern, deliberately took such a step in order to diversify the Russian automobile market. These models differ in configuration and price, but most importantly, in engine power. It should be noted that the engine, with a volume of 1.6 liters, is basic for all models, but its modifications are different. In addition, the external data of the models differ. Comfort and safety increase in proportion to the price.

Transmission

Three types of gearboxes have been developed for Lada Granta FL cars: - mechanical - automatic - robotic

The five-speed manual transmission causes virtually no complaints from most users and is installed on cars with an engine of 87 and 106 horsepower.

An automatic transmission is only available with 98-horsepower engines. This is the gearbox that most owners of Lada Vesta family cars dream of, who, for lack of a choice, are forced to travel with a robotic gearbox.

The robotic gearbox is available on cars with engines of 106 horsepower. It is too early to judge how reliable this box is, however, given the experience of Lada Vesta car owners, it is worth thinking several times before purchasing a car with this mechanism on board.

Operational problems

The main disadvantage of the car is the weak paintwork and lack of anti-corrosion treatment. As a result, the body, even with minor mechanical impact, becomes covered with chips and scratches, and in damaged areas, if urgent measures are not taken, pockets of rust will form quite quickly.

The level of assembly of the interior and decorative elements are not of high quality. The fragile seat adjustment knob breaks even with little force, and the gear shift knob cover quickly cracks and wears off. There are complaints about the operation of the windows and the air conditioner, which does not do its job well on a hot day.

Engine

The myth that VAZ engines are quite reliable is dispelled by numerous reviews from car enthusiasts, which indicate that problems with power units begin almost on the day the car is purchased. Even with careful operation and timely maintenance, the service life of the engines is about 120 thousand kilometers, after which compression begins to deteriorate and closer to 200 thousand a major overhaul will be required. After 100 thousand km. oil consumption increases. The reason is dry valve seals. After replacing them, this problem usually disappears.

The timing chain drive can be noted as an advantage, however, the service life of the chain is limited and replacement will have to be carried out already at the turn of 50 thousand km. Leaks from under the valve covers occur periodically. In general, 8-valve engines are more reliable compared to 16-valve engines and require significantly lower maintenance and service costs.

Transmission

A manual transmission causes some discomfort during operation. So, when switching gears, a squeal may be heard, and when the speed increases sharply, vibration can be felt. The clutch service life is short and is limited to 50 thousand kilometers. Even earlier, the release bearing may become noisy.

The car is equipped with a Japanese-made Jatco gearbox as an automatic transmission. The main trouble is caused by malfunctions of the electronic control unit in wet weather, caused by the poor location of this unit. All this leads to incorrect operation of the transmission, and in some cases the car may simply not start. This gearbox requires regular replacement and the use of high-quality oil.

Chassis and steering

As a disadvantage of the car, car enthusiasts note the rigid suspension, which, although it copes well with domestic roads, has a rather limited resource. The first to fail to withstand the load are the support bearings, which may need to be replaced after 10–20 thousand kilometers. The service life of shock absorbers ends after 30 thousand km. Balls and tips are unlikely to be able to overcome the 50 thousand mark.

The long-lived ones are the silent blocks of the front levers, which can last from 50 to 60 thousand km. Depending on driving style, pads last from 20 to 30 thousand; brake discs will last twice as long. The steering is quite reliable. Replacement of tips will be required after 30 thousand mileage.

Other problems

Poor sound insulation and low quality plastic decorative elements contribute to the constant presence of extraneous sounds in the cabin. Moreover, the number of crickets increases many times with the onset of cold weather. Electrical problems are most often associated with oxidation of contacts, but eliminating such faults does not require a lot of time and serious financial costs.
