The new Lada Granta 2020 model year will most likely continue to hold first place among the best-selling new cars in Russia. The successful update of the Lada Granta and the emergence of new modifications due to the outgoing Kalina made the car a sales locomotive for Avtovaz.

Over the past year, Russians bought 135,831 new Grants, which exceeded the same figure the year before by 29,506 units. The affordable car in various body types has a wide range of powertrains and is not afraid of competitors in this price segment. Of course, the larger, more modern and expensive Lada Vesta is hot on its heels, but this model is in fact already a class higher. Last summer, the long-awaited Lada Granta Cross , a little later Granta Drive Active, which replaced the Granta Sport version.

The exterior of the restyled Granta was made as similar as possible to the appearance of Vesta, which naturally benefited sales. The most stylish modification of the budget sedan can be called Drive Active. The car received modified bumpers, a sporty trunk spoiler, door sill trims, a stylish exhaust tip and beautiful 15-inch alloy wheels. See photos of the model below.

Lada Vesta Fl

By the end of 2022, the Lada Vesta Fl is expected to be released with an updated appearance. Vesta appeared in 2015, and received well-deserved success among fans. In Russia, this model ranks first in sales, which actually speaks of its popularity.

The updated version of Vesta, planned for release at the end of the year, will receive minor external changes, which will mainly affect the front and rear optics. The addition of FL to the name means Face Lifting, during which the model will receive updates:

  1. Complete redesign of optics - front and rear. We are not talking about modifying the shape of the headlight unit, but using a new filling - LED. LED sources will not only improve the appearance of a popular car, but also increase the safety of driving at night.
  2. Changing the shape of the front and rear bumpers.
  3. Increased hood relief.
  4. New rims.
  5. Modification of the trunk lid with the installation of a spoiler.

The facelift of the Vesta model, beloved in Russia, is aimed at creating a new and modern look that meets European standards.

Will there be changes in the interior?

Global changes in the interior of the Lada Vesta FL model are not expected, since the main emphasis is on the exterior. Among the interior updates planned:

  • change in steering wheel design with additional control buttons;
  • increasing the size of the dashboard;
  • updating of the front seats, which will have side holders;
  • modern multimedia screen;
  • increasing the center and door armrests;
  • Cup holders will appear on the central panel;
  • additional compartments on the backs of the front seats;
  • redesign of the front console;
  • a new form of deflectors, designed in an unusual style.

Budget materials that correspond to the class of the car will be used for interior decoration. Expect to see more light colors, as well as improved sound insulation.

What changes are coming in the technical stuffing

The dimensions of the facelifted Lada Vesta will not change, and moreover, the same type of engine will be used under the hood, as in previous modifications. The car will be available with two transmission options - 5-speed manual and CVT. Sales of the updated version will begin no earlier than mid-to-late 2020.

Photos Lada Granta


The interior of the updated Granta has become not only better, due to the Kalinovskaya torpedo and a new instrument panel, but also more convenient. You can notice this immediately when sitting in the driver's seat. Quite good ergonomics for such a budget car. It was much worse before. If you want even more lateral support and bright sporty accents in the trim, then your choice is Granta Drive Active, which has this in abundance. The interior has bright red inserts, stitching on the leather steering wheel, gearshift lever cover and seats in the same red color. In addition, the orange backlighting of the instrument panel has been replaced with red. The chairs themselves have a modified shape not only in the area of ​​lateral support, but on the seat itself.

Characteristics of Lada Granta 2022

Perhaps we all know about the technical characteristics of the Grant/Kalina; there have been no significant changes over the years of production. Two engines with 8 and 16 valves with a power of 87 and 106 hp. working volume 1.6 liters. Boxes are mechanical or robotic. There is also a classic 4-band automatic transmission, paired with a 16-valve engine producing 98 hp.

As for changes in the design of Granta Drive Active, there are no major alterations. Under the hood is a 16 valve engine combined with a 5-speed manual transmission (or AMT). As for the suspension, the “charged” version of the Granta has its own original springs and shock absorbers, which reduced the ground clearance by 18 mm, which, according to AvtoVAZ, improved the car’s handling. However, the absence of a subframe, short suspension travel and a “dangling” steering rack did not turn the Drive Active into a sports car. In terms of handling, the car is even worse than the standard Vesta, but better than the standard Granta.

Below are the technical parameters of the Grant in the sedan body.

Dimensions, volume, ground clearance of Lada Granta

  • Length – 4268 mm
  • Width – 1700 mm
  • Height – 1500 mm
  • Curb weight – from 1075 kg
  • Gross weight – 1560 kg
  • Wheelbase – 2476 mm
  • Trunk volume – 520 liters
  • Fuel tank volume – 50 liters
  • Tire size – 175/65 R14, 185/60 R14, 185/55 R15
  • Ground clearance – 160 mm (145 mm with automatic transmission)

Design

After the release of the updated version, the appearance of the cross-sedan has not changed. Lada Vesta Cross, as before, stands out due to its X-shaped body layout. The side doors and front part received this design. The head optics are also quite large in size. Below it are niches where small fog lights are located. The dynamic silhouette of the sedan is emphasized by additional stampings along the hood and a wide air intake.

At the rear of the car there is a hint of a spoiler mounted above the trapezoidal optics. The rear bumper also features standard shapes and is complemented by metal protection and dual exhaust pipes.

The interior of the Lada Vesta Cross contains elements usual for this family. In the center of the dashboard, which has a bright orange backlight, is the speedometer. The center console, which protrudes noticeably forward, contains a multimedia monitor framed by vertically located deflectors and a climate control unit. The transmission tunnel is given over to the gearshift lever and two cup holders. Especially for the cross-sedan, the manufacturer has developed new front seats with an improved configuration.

Exterior in XRAY style

The exterior is the result of the work of famous European designer Steve Mattin. The new Lada Vesta completely changes the idea of ​​the capabilities of the Russian automobile industry. If previously, in relation to VAZ products, it was not customary to talk about any design features at all, then the appearance of this sedan aroused approval not only among Russian, but also foreign audiences.

While working on the new LADA Vesta, the designers managed to give the car body harmony and balance. Expressing dynamism, athleticism, and, at the same time, confident completeness of lines, the design of the car will not leave anyone indifferent. As the main element that sets the style of the model, we can highlight the design of the radiator grille in the form of the letter X, which is characteristic of the entire XRAY series. The signature relief of the wings and doors resembles a silhouette with developed muscles, emphasizing the dynamic style of the car.

Interior

  • LADA Vesta has the largest dimensions (length, width, height) among its competitors in class B. This, first of all, directly affects the interior - the interior is really spacious. Combined with the ability to adjust the steering wheel for tilt and reach, as well as a significant range of settings for the front seats, driving the car is easy and comfortable. Body color is available in 9 color options.
  • The model's ground clearance is the largest in its class. The extended wheelbase and significant ground clearance allow the car to feel comfortable on country roads. The spacious trunk makes it possible to transport a lot of payload.
  • Depending on the configuration and price, the car is equipped with three engine options. The first two are AvtoVAZ developments, the third is Vesta with a Nissan engine. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle does not exceed the average for class B. The plant offers a large number of vehicle configurations: Classic, Comfort, Luxury versions are complemented by Start, Image, MM, Prestige option packages.

Lada Granta has a new 90-horsepower engine

Grant's basic eight-valve engine was changed. This is the same unit that recently debuted on the updated Largus. Moreover, the new modification was included in the Grants certificate back in February, but only now AVTOVAZ announced the start of sales of cars with a different engine.

The unit with the VAZ-11182 index has quite a few differences from the previous VAZ-11186 model. It has its own cylinder head with modified exhaust ports, a different combustion chamber and cooling jacket. The camshaft has a reduced cam width. The pistons are borrowed from the VAZ 1.8 engine, and the valve tappets and valve stem seals are from the Renault K7M engine. The compression ratio has been increased from 10.3:1 to 10.5:1. In total, the engine has 48 new parts.

Characteristics and reviews of the VAZ 11182 engine (1.6l, 90hp)

At the beginning of 2022, AVTOVAZ introduced a new 8-valve 1.6-liter engine (VAZ 11182 or AR16SEg2), which first appeared on the Lada Largus FL and will later appear on the Lada Granta FL. The developers claim that the new motor has improved characteristics while maintaining reliability. What do real reviews from experts and owners who managed to test the new engine say?

AVTOVAZ writes that the new engine featured an updated connecting rod and piston group, a modernized crankshaft and a gas distribution mechanism. As a result, power is increased to 90 hp, and 80% of torque is available from 1000 rpm, which reduces fuel consumption and reduces shift frequency. In addition, the need to adjust valves before a mileage of 90,000 kilometers is eliminated. The engine is adapted to run on gasoline with an octane rating of 92.

Review of Lada Vesta SW

The dynamic, popular look of LADA Vesta, known to everyone, has become more expressive in the LADA Vesta SW version. This is a car designed for those who have to drive not only on good but also bad roads.

Increased ground clearance

In the LADA Vesta SW version it is now 178 millimeters, which has improved the quality of chassis tuning for driving on highways with a large number of holes.

Fog lights

Has the weather suddenly turned bad? Don't worry - the fog lights of the LADA Vesta SW will make driving safer.

Parking sensors

Limited space won't stop you from maneuvering with confidence.

Lada Vesta SW, the technical characteristics of which are listed below, is specially created for those who like to travel for a long time and have active recreation. Especially for this, rear row passengers now have more free space.

Climate control

To maintain a comfortable temperature inside the cabin, a corresponding sensor is provided.

Stylish dashboard look

Engineers decided to change the instrument cluster by installing updated orange backlighting.

Multifunctional steering wheel

Now you can use the steering wheel to control the operation of the cruise control system and the multimedia center.

Even if the driver has to drive along narrow streets, the 2022 Lada Vesta SV will make this process extremely accurate and accurate. Based on personal preferences in terms of driving style, future owners have access to two powertrain models with two transmission options.

Working volume 1596 cm

Reviews

Drom.ru experts tested the Lada Largus van with the new VAZ 11182 engine:

Impressions of the new engine from auto.ru:

  • The motor works differently. The acoustic sound from the engine compartment is different.
  • Vibrations from the engine are not transmitted to the steering wheel, as on the Grant.
  • At 110 km/h in 5th gear the engine runs at 3000 rpm.
  • The fuel consumption of the VAZ 11182 engine (90 hp) is 1.5 l/100 km less than that of the VAZ 21129 (106 hp)

The cylinder head cover was previously secured with two bolts. Now it is attracted at six points along the perimeter. This improved the tightness of the joint and, in combination with a new gasket, should rid the engine of the old VAZ problem - oil fogging at the interface with the cylinder block. The crankcase ventilation system has also been changed. A more efficient oil separator reduces engine oil consumption.

Valve adjustments need to be done less frequently, but this procedure is now more complicated. So, for adjustment, it is necessary to dismantle the timing belt (but still change it at the same 90,000 km) and the camshaft, and instead of cheap washers, you need to purchase new pushers of a pre-calculated size.

By reducing the thickness of the rod from 8 mm to 5 mm, the valves began to weigh less. The camshaft lost in the width of the working surface (from 15.3 mm to 11 mm) and the width of the cams (from 17.7 mm to 6 mm). Instead of eight counterweights, the crankshaft was left with only four: how this will affect the resource is a question.

AvtoVAZ promises savings due to the new engine of 4,900 rubles per 20,000 km. Of these, 2000 will be saved by reduced gasoline consumption (by approximately 200 ml/100 km), 2900 will be saved by the valve adjustment procedure. The factory is being disingenuous about the cost of adjustment. According to the recommended prices for maintenance, it costs 1700-1800 rubles. And this saving is every 30,000 km. But maintenance - 90,000 km for a new engine is already more expensive: 21,300 rubles versus 18,300 rubles. And this despite the fact that the cost of new pushers is not included in the base price; you will have to pay for them on top.

The motor has become on average 2.4 dB quieter and vibrates less. The throttle assembly and fuel rail have been changed. The thread diameter of the candles was reduced from 14 mm to 12 mm. The pistons have increased overall height, the height of the fire zone and the length of the skirt. However, the total mass remained the same. The engine remained “plug-inless”, with recesses in the pistons.

“Wheels of Analytics”: how much does “Grant” lose in value?

Since the start of sales of “Grants” in Kazakhstan, since the beginning of 2012, many events have happened: devaluation, strong fluctuations in exchange rates, uncontrolled import of cars from Russia and Belarus, a strict ban on the import of cars after that, the introduction of recycling fees, dedollarization of advertisements on our website ... All these events were reflected in the graph of price changes not only for cars from showrooms, but also on the used market. How much has Grant lost in value?


The average offer price on the day of publication (April 26, 2022) is indicated.

If you bought a car in tenge, then, we can say, the losses are zero. Today, the 2012 Granta sedan (without reference to the configuration) costs an average of 1,487,000 tenge! The most affordable cars were then valued at 1.2 million, and the top ones at 1.7 million tenge.


For 1.5 million you can find a 2012 Grant in good condition with a mileage of up to 100,000 km

Options and prices

The 2022 Lada Granta received a new body a relatively long time ago, the details of which can be studied from the published photos. After the restyling, the manufacturer decided not to update the technical characteristics of the model, adjusting only the proposed configurations, which received more modern and high-quality equipment.

As you can see in the photo, most of the car's design remained untouched. However, the new body also boasts some improvements, thanks to which the car will become both more attractive and more functional.

The most changes can be found on the front of the car. As before, it is located at a low height and has medium dimensions. There is also a tilt, which allows any driver to feel comfortable behind the wheel and perfectly assess the situation on the road. The increase in the amount of relief immediately catches the eye. Already on the hood you can find several smooth transitions in height, which are located on the side parts of the lid. As before, the main part of the bumper is decorated with an X-shaped air intake, inside of which all the parts are made of plastic and painted black. Only in the center the perimeter of this structure is distinguished by chrome trim, as well as the Lada brand badge. On the sides, the air intake is decorated with massive headlights, which take on an even more aggressive shape and are located at a large angle. Unfortunately, they will still have only halogen filling in any configuration. There is now a little more relief here, thanks to which the bumper has a brighter appearance.

The body kit has also changed a bit. It has been replenished with some relief, which is distributed over its entire area, and also includes a long air intake made in the form of a strip. In the center there is a grille that improves the cooling of the engine compartment, and on the sides you can see small round fog lights. There is also a much larger variety of sensors for electronic assistants.

The car's profile has undergone virtually no major changes. Still here you can find a bunch of wavy relief, concentrated mainly on the doors. The main detail here is a wide strip of windows, which will now be framed by a slightly wider line, painted in gloss black. The dividing posts are also painted in the same color, and they have also become somewhat wider. The rear view mirrors have slightly increased in size and also acquired a more triangular shape. Now in the database they will be able to boast of the presence of turn signals, as well as a handle painted black. Further, the body is decorated with a slightly protruding strip located approximately in the center of the doors, which is painted either in the color of the car or finished with unpainted plastic, as well as slightly inflated wheel arches.

A little more transformation can be found by looking at the rear of the car. It is located slightly higher than before the update, and has also become somewhat shorter. The trunk lid was replenished with a small protrusion located at the very end, and also received an abundance of relief. Next you can see large chrome plated nameplates, bright marker signals placed on the sides of the door, and stylish height transitions. A lot of space is allocated here for body kit, but it cannot boast of an abundance of decor. Here you can only find a black diffuser and sensors.

Specifications

The 2022 Lada Granta is offered exclusively with front-wheel drive and semi-independent suspension, with MacPherson struts in the front and a torsion beam in the rear. The braking system is represented by disc and drum mechanisms.

The engine range is petrol. The volume of all units is 1.6 liters. They differ only in power and gearbox. In basic versions, the manufacturer offers installation of an 87-horsepower engine with 140 Nm of torque. It works exclusively with a 5-speed manual transmission. The car reaches the first 100 km/h in 11.6 seconds, and the maximum speed is 180 km/h. In city mode, a sedan with such characteristics consumes 9.1 liters of gasoline; on the highway this figure drops to 5.3 liters.

The next engine is 106 horsepower. Its torque is 148 Nm. It is offered paired with a 5-speed manual transmission or a robotic gearbox with a similar number of speeds. The sedan reaches its first hundred kilometers in 10.5 and 12.0 seconds, respectively, and the maximum speed is the same in all versions - 180 km/h. Average fuel consumption is 6.5 liters. The type of transmission does not affect this indicator.

The latest engine produces 98 hp. at 145 Nm of torque. Along with it, a 4-speed automatic transmission is installed. With this equipment, the sedan accelerates to 100 km/h in 13.1 seconds, and the maximum speed is fixed at 165 km/h. In the city, fuel consumption is about 10 liters, and in suburban mode - 6.1 liters.

Review of the interior and exterior of the new body

The nose of the 2022 Lada Granta is decorated with a signature X-shaped radiator grille, flanked by refreshed head optics with a slight squint. The manufacturer also completely revised the design of the front bumper, crowning it with a massive air intake and chrome elements. A radical transformation of the “nose” required replacing the hood and front fenders. When examining the sedan's profile, designer wheels and large mirrors with turn signal repeaters also catch your eye.

The rear is complemented by a new trunk lid with a neat protrusion reminiscent of a spoiler. From now on, a platform for a license plate is placed on the lid. Finally, it is worth noting the design of the bumper. It stands out due to the black plastic insert, which slightly weighs down the image of the car, but does not spoil it.

The interior of the new product has a front panel that is already familiar to fans of the brand. The manufacturer replaced the standard backlight color with white, and the deflectors are made in the company’s corporate style. The dashboard is practically no different from the one installed on Vesta, with the exception of a few elements. The sedan's seats also went through a major update. The upholstery is made of higher quality material, and the lackluster lateral support will make itself felt on long trips.

What's new in Granta FL from the outside

You might think that the tail of the front end was pulled either from Vesta or from XRAY. But no, everything is here. New hood, slightly modified fenders, bumper, optics. It's funny, but the headlights for the Grant were developed in India, but they are produced in Uzbekistan. They haven’t become anything cooler or more efficient, and they haven’t even received the fashionable LEDs for daytime running lights today; the same light bulb remains in a small cell in the corner of the headlight.

The rear is purely Grant - the lights were left unchanged, but the trunk lid is new, now with a niche for the license plate. And the bumper accordingly.

In general, according to the standard restyling scheme, the front and rear attachments have been updated, but the central part, and even the base itself, is still Kalinovsky, without changes. This does not at all resemble the concept of All New, as the manufacturer claims. By the way, about the Kalina model. As you know, she no longer exists. And on the hatchback and station wagon body, which were left as an inheritance, AVTOVAZ puts a new Grant face and glues other nameplates. This is such a cycle of models.

All the changes in the exterior will probably be noticed only by the owners of the previous “grants” or representatives of fan clubs. We have collected them in a separate photo gallery.

1 / 6


The hood not only took on new shapes, but also lost its glass washer jets. “Writers” are now located under it, in a plastic panel


A different lamp is installed inside the new optics: instead of H4, it is now H19. In terms of light quality, they are the same, the only slight difference is in the size of the bulb and the base. Can H4 be inserted into a new headlight? It is possible by bending the landing antennae


Pile lockers to reduce noise from wheels are available even in basic trim levels, but R15 alloy wheels are only available in luxury trim levels

Large letters LADA on the stern instead of a rook from now on on all VAZ cars


The turn signal on the mirror is still available only in the maximum configuration. But glass heating is already available in the Classic Start version. Mirrors, by the way, give an excellent overview

1 / 6

The body is well assembled. The gaps are small and practically do not differ from each other. Bumpers, optics and body props fit tightly and flush. The doors open and close with a slight but not straining force. But to close the trunk, you want to lean harder. Clap! Closed.

How is it painted? Among the top negative reviews from the owners of “Grant” is traditional, i.e., poor resistance to saline winters in cities. Although the factory provides a guarantee against through corrosion for six years, nothing prevents the paint from starting to bloom. Iron will not rust to holes in six years, but during this time Granta is easily covered with “saffron milk caps” both outside and inside. Only time will tell how durable the paintwork on updated bodies is. But the answer seems predictable.


Granta looks unusual in metallic blue. The color, by the way, is called “blue planet” (418), but in our SRTS since January 2019 it is written as simply blue
