What are the overall dimensions of the Lada X Ray Cross: body, wheels, rims

In last year's ranking, the Lada Xray hatchback took tenth place among the most popular models on the Russian market. In 10 months, 29 thousand cars were found to have owners. The figure seems to be good, but other Lada models sold much better. The first place belongs to Lada West, which sold more than 86 thousand copies. During this period, car enthusiasts purchased 80 thousand copies of the Lada Grant. Among its relatives, the XRay model occupied almost the last place (Lada 4x4 is only slightly inferior). That is why the company decided to change the configuration and revise the starting prices.

AvtoVAZ has announced prices and specifications for the 2022 Lada XRay Cross in a new body; the changes can be seen in the photo. In addition to the original appearance with protective plastic elements, the new crossover has a special interior configuration and a wide range of equipment. The package also includes a completely new driving mode switch.

Model history and time of entry into the market of the new Lada XRay Cross

Lada XRAY Cross is a subcompact all-terrain vehicle that has a number of advantages of a stylish city hatchback. The target audience is residents of large cities who need tall cars to travel both around the city and on country roads.

On the eve of National Unity Day, sales of the new, improved X Ray Cross car will begin in dealership showrooms. The new product is entering the Russian market under the slogan “Lada. New Horizons”, which initially informs the buyer about the off-road characteristics of the car. Since the beginning of production, the X Rey belonged to an indeterminate class: a high hatchback or a crossover.

Lada Xray Cross

LADA XRAY will be offered only with front-wheel drive ; in 2022, the all-wheel drive XRAY Cross 4x4, with similar technical characteristics, was supposed to go on sale, but later AvtoVAZ decided to abandon the all-wheel drive modification. As a result, the Lada Xray Cross will only be front-wheel drive and the only difference from the regular Xray hatchback will be roof rails

Base price of Lada Xray: from 589 thousand rubles, equipment and prices: https://www.lada-xray2.ru/vse-o-lada-xray#price

3 year warranty

Sales start – February 15, 2016.

According to preliminary information, the basic modification of the Lada XRAY model will include two airbags, a stabilization system, an audio system with a Bluetooth transmitter, LED running lights, front electric windows, the ERA-GLONASS system and central locking with remote control. Cars with Renault-Nissan engines will be equipped with air conditioning and heated front seats.

Below is outdated information!

If we talk about the technical characteristics of the Lada Xray, Bo Andresson, president of AvtoVAZ, said that four versions of the Lada Xray are planned for release. It is reported that all of them will have excellent qualities and technical characteristics inherent in SUVs. For example, such as high cross-country ability. Andresson emphasized that this “is at the DNA level.”

Characteristics of the Lada X Ray Cross model 2022

The new model line differs from the previous version by the increased diameter of the wheel rims, higher ground clearance and plastic body protection.

New body

Having carefully studied the photo, you will notice that the model differs from its predecessor in small details. This is a slightly elevated body position and aggressive design style. The small front end appears more massive thanks to the high and wide hood and X-shaped radiator trim.

The wedge-shaped blocks of the front halogen headlights fit perfectly into the design of the crossover.

The car features sporty side diffusers, a set of paired fog lamps and a large metal-plastic body kit. The side reveals dynamic and vibrant details to car enthusiasts:

• wheel arches have protective inserts;
• many elements of graceful stepped relief;
• three-section windows are characterized by a black perimeter and extended mullions;
• the roof line smoothly turning into the stern.

The plastic body kit performs protective and decorative functions. The crossover status is also confirmed by the details in the rear of the car.

The “improved” Lada can be distinguished by the following features:

• the spoiler visor has an enlarged format;
• The high tailgate features oval glazing;
• the rear optics have a different shape and are mounted on wide stands.

Configurations and prices of Lada X Ray Cross 2019

The basic Optima package includes a proprietary audio system with MP3, hands free and Bluetooth, an on-board computer and front electric windows. This option also has mechanisms for adjusting the driver's seat and steering column. To improve active and passive safety, the car is equipped with a stabilization system, two front airbags and an electric power steering.

The Comfort package includes: air conditioning, rear electric windows, heated front row seats and rear mirrors, a sun visor with a mirror for the front passenger, and a multifunction steering wheel.

Body size, dimensions and other characteristics of the Lada X Ray

The Lada X Ray is positioned as an SUV, that is, a high hatchback that should have sufficient maneuverability to move along city streets. For completely different purposes, a model is being created with the Cross prefix, which the creator already presents as a crossover with impressive dimensions, capable of coping with any difficulties on the road.

Lada X-RAY Cross will be presented as a crossover, which will have the appropriate dimensions and dimensions, so this model will receive all-wheel drive. The platform was borrowed from Renault Duster, so we can say with complete confidence that, finally, our car owners will be able to purchase a domestic full-fledged SUV, the design of which includes a multi-link suspension and a drive with an electromagnetic clutch.

In any version, this car will be equipped with front disc brakes, rack and pinion steering with hydraulic booster, and an automatic transmission.

Engines

There is no information yet about the technical characteristics of the Lada X Ray, but there is information that the engine range will consist of a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with 114 horsepower, as well as a 5-speed manual transmission. There may be other options in the future.

Initially, it was planned to begin production of cars at the end of 2015 - beginning of 2016, however, according to new data, the Lada Xray model will begin mass production in October next year. Production will be established at the enterprise's facilities in Tolyatti and Kazakhstan.

Dimensions and dimensions

The internal dimensions and dimensions of the Lada X Cross car can be significantly increased due to folding seats. The luggage compartment, already of impressive size, can be almost doubled.

As for the length of the car, it will be 430 centimeters. Precisely because the car will be used for driving on off-road routes, it was decided to increase its ground clearance, as a result it will average 185 millimeters.

The line of Lada models with the Cross prefix has been replenished with a new all-terrain version of the Lada Xray Cross 2018-2019. The presentation of the new product took place at the Moscow Motor Show, and the raised hatchback will go on sale towards the end of this year. In addition to the original external design with an abundance of protective plastic elements, the new X-ray Cross is distinguished by a special interior configuration and an expanded set of equipment, including a completely new driving mode selection switch. The price of the model has not yet been announced, but, obviously, it will be at the level of the top-end configurations of the regular Xray, that is, it will exceed 700 thousand rubles.

Dimensions

The overall length of the Lada Xray is 4,165 mm, the width (along the rear wheel arches) is 1,764 mm, the height when unladen* and without roof rails is 1,570 mm. Wheelbase length – 2,592 mm.

For comparison: Renault Sandero Stepway has the following characteristics: 4,080 x 1,757 x 1,618 mm; 2,589 mm.

The ground clearance of “co-platform” cars is the same – 195 mm.

Weight distribution on the front and rear axles is 51 and 49%

Front track of Lada Xray – 1,592 mm for 15″ wheels; 1,484 mm for 16″ wheels. The rear track size is 1,532 and 1,524 mm, respectively.

Front overhang – 830 mm, rear – 743 mm. The approach/departure angle when unladen is –21/34 degrees.

The volume of the luggage compartment in the passenger version is 361 liters; with rear seats folded - 1,207 liters; with the rear and front passenger seats folded - 1,514 liters.

Dimensions and body design features

The “off-road” version of the hatchback has increased in size compared to the standard five-door. The most significant increase occurred in height, which is explained, first of all, by the increased ground clearance (215 instead of 195 mm) and the roof rails installed by default. The total increase was 75 mm, bringing the height to 1645 mm. The Lada X-ray Cross has not gained much in length and width – 6 mm (4171 mm) and 46 mm (1810 mm), respectively. The front wheel track has expanded to 1503 mm (from 1492 mm), the rear - to 1546 mm (from 1532 mm).

The main distinguishing feature of the Cross hatchback’s appearance, as expected, was a powerful plastic body kit around the perimeter. The edges of the wheel arches, sills, and the lower part of the doors are covered with protective overlays. The rear bumper is completely sewn up, and the black color is only diluted by a silver insert, complemented by red touches of reflectors and a fog lamp.

What's interesting in the salon?

The interior of the new X-Ray in Cross format is decorated in the same bright two-tone colors as the interior of the Lada Vesta SW Cross station wagon. But if Vesta only has seats and door cards of a similar color, then X-Ray also has a significant part of the front panel, plus the central tunnel and foot mats.

Interior trim

In addition to the special finishing, the model received several important updates in terms of equipment. The first of these is the new three-stage heated front seats. Its buttons are located on the console, and not on the chairs themselves. The front seats of the Xray Cross are also equipped with a different frame with embossed lateral support bolsters and a soft backrest, which increases the comfort of rear passengers. Riders in the second row should also experience another innovation - a more vertical position of the backrests, which makes it possible to move the seat cushions back and thereby free up an additional 25 mm of legroom.

Selector washer Lada Ride Select

The list of improvements continues with a new steering column, adjustable not only in height, but also in reach. And finally, we come to the main innovation, which is the driving mode selector, which controls the stabilization system and traction control. There are five algorithms for the operation of on-board electronics. In normal mode, all systems are turned on; in sports mode, the accelerator pedal becomes more sensitive and it becomes possible to move away with slipping; in “winter” mode, wheel slip is allowed to increase braking efficiency; settings for sandy surfaces further weaken the control of the electronic systems. The last, fifth position, ESC Off, completely disables stabilization, but when a speed reaches 54 km/h it automatically turns on.

Technical characteristics of Lada XRAY Cross in comparison with Renault Duster

The closest competitor to the XRAY Cross is, of course, Renault Duster. Actually, it was planned to make a more accessible and in some ways superior analogue.

As a result, a 1.8 liter (122 hp) engine was chosen in combination with a 5MT gearbox and front-wheel drive.

It should be noted that the mechanics here are French: the engine works properly and without interference, much better than that of the “younger brother” Xray, which does not have “Cross”.

For comparison:

Renault Duster is produced with 1.6 and 2 liter engines, while front-wheel drive 4x2 comes only with 1.6 liter and 5MT.

But in all-wheel drive versions, the Duster is equipped with a 6MT gearbox on both engine options, and it is also possible to purchase an automatic transmission and even a 1.5-liter diesel engine.

The platform based on B0 is the same as in Nissan and Renault models, while the new crossover uses a powerful subframe and an upgraded suspension, which gives the car increased cross-country ability, stability and controllability.

This is also facilitated by R17 wheels, versus R16 on the French crossover.

A significant advantage is the rear disc brakes, which certainly adds greater safety and maneuverability to the domestic crossover.

Reviews from the owners of this car indicate that the Cross's handling and cross-country ability are indeed at a fairly high level.

The electric power steering works quite well, and handling is quite good. And the Luxe package even has a heated steering wheel.

Among the shortcomings - reviews of X-Ray Cross indicate insufficient noise insulation at speeds of 120-140 km/h and above. But if you follow the speed limit according to the traffic rules, everything is within normal limits.

Design

The more stylish and sporty appearance of the X Ray clearly outperforms the rustic Duster.

The dimensions of the Lada crossover are more compact than those of its French competitor:

• length – 4171 mm,
• width across mirrors – 1983 mm (1810 mm),
• antenna height – 1645 mm.

While the Duster:

• length – 4315 mm,
• width across mirrors – 2000 mm (1822 mm),
• height along the rails – 1695 mm.

On the one hand, a more compact car benefits in urban conditions and adds maneuverability. Still, this is not a jeep, but a crossover. On the other hand, some drivers, especially men, prefer larger dimensions of the car to give, as it seems to them, more solidity. But this is not an acquired taste: for some it may be a plus, for others it may be a minus.

Their fuel consumption is approximately the same.

Good to know: What should always be in your car?

Well, one of the main advantages of the Lada XRAY Cross is the increased ground clearance of 215 mm. The Duster in a similar front-wheel drive version has 205 mm, and in all-wheel drive it has 210 mm.

Why not all-wheel drive?

Probably, as the first domestic full-fledged crossover, AVTOVAZ engineers decided to produce a worthy analogue of the simplest version of the Duster, which they completely succeeded in doing. Let's hope this is just the beginning, and all-wheel drive variants will follow in the near future.

In this regard, we consider it incorrect to compare the X-Ray Cross with the all-wheel drive Renault Duster. Those who do this forget about the cost of a 4x4 drive - and even in the simplest versions it ranges from 1 million - 1.3 million rubles to 2.5-3.5 million rubles in more expensive brands.

Whatever one may say, despite domestic production and assembly, all components are produced using European technologies and in partnership with global brands Renault-Nissan. Therefore, the cost of a car is measured pegged to the dollar and euro - these are the realities of today.

We think that if all-wheel drive for the Lada XRAY Cross is ever implemented, then at the current dollar exchange rate, in 2018-2019, the price will be about 1-1.1 million rubles, no less.

Judge for yourself, the Kia Sportage jeep, once so popular in Russia, is now approaching the 1.6-2 million ruble mark. Not to mention that fuel costs in this case increase significantly.

Do you really need all-wheel drive?

In addition, it is no secret that today even most jeeps with 4x4 all-wheel drive see off-road conditions only from the “height” of more or less good asphalt or, at least, a primer. Of course, unless you are a participant in car rallies or off-road racing.

In some cases, especially in winter and in conditions of poor quality road surfaces, all-wheel drive can indeed be indispensable or at least very useful.

Stabilization system LADA Ride Select

For such cases, Cross provides a special solution - an electronic stabilization system and adjustment of chassis operation algorithms - LADA Ride Select.

The program works in several modes, improving cross-country ability in selected road conditions:

• Snow/mud – increases braking efficiency due to more slip of the front wheels,
• Sand,
• Sport – disables other modes,
• ESC on – the main road one, allows you to level out the movement during skids by regulating the speed of each wheel and gives the car stability on steep slopes and difficult areas.

You can also disable the electronic stabilization system by selecting ESC off, however, at speeds only up to 54 km/h, then it is automatically turned on for safety reasons.

According to reviews from X-Ray Cross owners, the most optimal, however, is the normal road mode ESC on. Although, perhaps, not everyone knows how to properly use such electronics.

True, installation of such a system is possible in a configuration no lower than Comfort - and this starts from 810 thousand rubles.

This is interesting: Is it possible to mix motor oils?

Interior

Inside, the Cross has become as much as 2.5 cm more spacious for rear seat passengers. The interior itself remains the same as in the previous model, but the ergonomics of the space have become more comfortable.

The rear seat has also been moved down by 4 cm, which adds height to the space.

The seats now have lateral support, which makes the seating of both the driver and passengers more comfortable, especially when traveling long distances.

A large container under the passenger seat in a more expensive configuration adds comfort, plus there are convenient additional compartments: a large glove compartment, a place for a phone, etc.

The steering wheel is adjustable for height and reach.

The downside is that there is no steering column joystick for switching tracks when listening to music.

Also, according to reviews from owners and test drive participants, there are some shortcomings in the interior of the cabin, although they are not critical, they can cause minor inconveniences: for example, the buttons for turning on heated seats or the locks for fastening seat belts are not located in the most convenient way.

The trunk, although it does not have a large volume in its standard form (310-360 liters according to various measurements), can be significantly increased by folding the seats, both front and rear - up to 1500 liters.

This creates a flat area - the engineers have done a good job of improving the internal space.

Technical characteristics of Lada X-ray Cross 2018-2019

The new Lada cross-hatchback will be equipped with a 1.8-liter engine with an output of 122 hp. and 170 Nm. It will be accompanied by a 5-speed manual transmission or a robotic gearbox. The car is deprived of all-wheel drive, and as compensation it relies on the driving mode switch already presented above.

There are some improvements in the chassis design of the new product that technically bring the X-ray Cross closer to Vesta. Thus, the front suspension of the “off-road” hatchback has acquired L-shaped arms, which should help improve handling. Another innovation is rear disc brakes, which are rare for cars on the B0 platform. The changes also affected the steering, which received an electric one instead of an electro-hydraulic one.

Equipped with a 1.8-liter engine, the Xray Cross accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 10.6 seconds (manual) or 12.6 seconds (robot). Top speed is limited to 180 and 176 km/h respectively. When equipped, the weight of the Cross version of the X-ray reaches 1300 kg.
