New Lada Granta Station Wagon 2022 video review

The Lada Kalina model, popular among domestic motorists, was taken as the basis for the new Lada Granta station wagon. The manufacturer decided to use the most reliable and proven technical solutions, not take risks, and add a minimum of changes. Basically, they relate to the visual part, interior and body. However, upon closer examination, one can understand that the updates were still sufficient to call the 2018 a truly new car.

Appearance

The new body, although it is a station wagon, does not stand out with particularly large dimensions. Yes, the car is slightly larger than the sedan version, but you won’t be able to fit much more stuff here. As you can see in the photo, the car has a new design that migrated here from the popular Vesta. It’s just that it hasn’t completely changed over – only the bumpers have been significantly altered.

The front of the car still takes up very little space. At the very top there is a perfectly flat hood cover, located at a slight inclination to the road. Further here you can notice huge headlights, filled only with halogen lights. The rest of the central part of the bumper is an X-shaped radiator grille, which is trimmed along the perimeter with a thin chrome strip.

The bottom of the bumper has fewer decorations. At the ends of the air intake system you can find modest fog lights, which have a round shape. They are installed exclusively in a rich configuration. The designers also added some aerodynamic parts here to improve the appearance of the car.

The station wagon's profile was exactly the same as that of the old version of the Granta, only with a different trunk shape. Almost half of the free space here is occupied by massive windows separated by thick body pillars. The doors here are decorated with a modest protruding strip running along their entire length. Also here you can see slightly widened wheel arches and other minor decorative elements.

The rear view of the car is very different from that of the sedan. It is strange that the roof here does not end with the now fashionable visor. The design of the tailgate here begins with a massive window, and a little below it there is a recess for a license plate and large-sized marker optics. The body kit is also simple in design, including only a plastic diffuser and anti-fog optics in an extended configuration. The exhaust system here is completely routed under the bottom of the car.

Salon

Of course, the interior decoration certainly cannot be called luxurious, but what is available here is enough to travel even over long distances. The new Lada Granta (station wagon) 2018 model year is finished exclusively with inexpensive materials, such as fabrics and plastic, but all of them are of fairly high quality. Now there is nothing holding it together, and the seats and other interior elements should become more wear-resistant. A test drive later will show how true this statement is.

The center console of the car is designed as simply as possible. It has quite large dimensions, but you won’t be able to find a ton of functional controls on it. At the very top there is a pair of neat deflectors, and directly below them there is either a multimedia system monitor or a simple radio tape recorder. These elements are surrounded by analog buttons. At the end of the console you can find washers for the climate system, a few more buttons and holes for accessories.

Few people will be impressed by the design of the tunnel. There is a huge number of all kinds of holes for things that take round, rectangular and square shapes, a gear shift knob, a parking brake, and in a rich configuration there is also a fairly comfortable armrest with a glove compartment inside.

The driver's seat here is designed exactly the same as in other Lada models. The steering wheel has large dimensions and a rather thick steering wheel, upholstered in fabric. Any buttons for controlling multimedia or assistants are installed here only at an additional cost. Behind the steering wheel you can find a massive instrument panel filled with a pair of round analog gauges that are beautifully illuminated in different colors, as well as a modest on-board computer monitor located vertically.

Even though a station wagon is much more spacious than a sedan, five people can still fit here with difficulty. Each seat is made of simple fabric and is equipped with a minimum set of functions. Passengers in the first row can only be content with mechanical seat adjustments, headrests, simulated lateral support and heating. The three-seater sofa, located on the second row, is equipped only with headrests and a central armrest, for which you will have to pay extra.

The wagon's capacity is very small - only 355 liters in standard form. When the second row is removed, this figure only increases to 670 liters. The only saving grace is the presence of an underground space in which the spare tire and some tools are located. In general, you definitely won’t be able to take a lot of things with you on a trip.

Interior updates

The interior of the car has undergone minimal changes. The green illumination of the dashboard elements is now white, the ventilation deflectors have an original X-shaped edging, and the instrument panel is clearly copied from the more expensive version of the Lada Vesta (the scale has an orange rim, the digitization is radial).

To increase the comfort of the vehicle, the seat upholstery has been changed so that it is now more pleasant to the touch. It should be noted that at the same time the upholstery has become more

durable, it can withstand mechanical loads better and does not wear out. The lateral support rollers have also been enlarged, which is valuable when cornering. The new Granta, in accordance with current legal requirements, is equipped with an emergency call button located on the ceiling, as well as an ERA-GLONASS navigation system.

Specifications

It’s unlikely that anyone will be surprised by the characteristics of the Lada Granta (station wagon) 2018, since absolutely all of the company’s models receive almost identical power units. In this case, you can find a 1.6-liter engine powered by gasoline fuel. Its eight-valve modification is capable of delivering 87 horsepower. The sixteen-valve engine is more productive - 98 or 106 forces. The weakest engine can only work in tandem with a five-speed manual transmission. The middle version is controlled by a four-speed automatic. For the top-end, only five-speed gearboxes with mechanical or automatic operating modes are prepared. The car can only have front-wheel drive.

Competitors

Models such as Renault Sandero and Lada Vesta station wagon can compete with the car.

The new Lada Granta station wagon is based on the Kalina in a practical body. The manufacturer did not reinvent the wheel, but simply renamed the car by adding some elements to the exterior and interior of the model. However, the changes are not as few as it seems at first glance. Today we will analyze all the changes in detail.

The front part of the exterior is the same for all 5 Grant modifications. These are front optics, radiator grille and bumpers in the Lada Vesta style. However, the body itself has changed little. The fenders, hood, doors, and other body panels remained the same. The manufacturer didn't even change the taillights. Externally, the restyling did not affect significant things, the implementation of which would require huge funds. Budget restyling for a budget car. But despite this, the car began to look more modern and stylish in appearance. Photos of the Lada Granta station wagon are further in our gallery.

Exterior

Considering the copying of the Lada Vesta, you can’t say much about the exterior. Besides the familiar front end, the side and rear are also very recognizable. The trunk received a rather sloping corner making it visually smaller. The overall impression is that of a compact station wagon. If in front the lines have a beveled shape, then on the side everything is ordered vertically. Quite a strange design with an eye on modern trends in mechanical engineering.

The trunk door has a fairly large glass. Reversing with such a review will be a pleasure, which cannot be said about the analogue of Vesta. The rest of the review remains the same, if we draw an analogy with Vesta. Drivers in our country are no strangers to doing without parking sensors and cameras, and the domestic auto industry is in no hurry to reduce the cost of such technologies.

At first glance, there are minimal changes in the interior, but let's look at everything in order. In addition to the new upholstery, the manufacturer installed completely new seats of a different shape and with different headrests. The driver's seat has the ability to change its height, and lateral support has increased. The seats have become much more comfortable, albeit a small step forward. The new front panel was created from the old one. The stereo system with a monochrome display has been updated. Even there, if you wish, you can consider the general X-style of Lada.

But AvtoVAZ engineers created something from scratch. This instrument panel has a bright orange backlight. An enlarged monochrome on-board computer display was installed between the tachometer and speedometer dials. Compared to the old one, it has become more informative, and the numbers are much larger and brighter. This is another big plus for the comfort of the driver himself. Photos of the Granta SW interior are attached.

Station wagon interior

Considering the price segment, everything is pragmatic. A lot of plastic - that's what we have to deal with. The feeling is that the version is not 2022, but everything is in order.

The front panel is considered modernized, but again we are faced with Kalina. It is more interesting to consider the top-end configuration, where there is an option to add some chrome parts. Such changes make the interior lively, which is so necessary for the younger generation of drivers.

The front panel also follows an X-shape in its concept. The deflectors and buttons are framed by lines beveled towards each other. It definitely adds a bit of modern style, but everyone will be able to judge the success of this decision for themselves. About the instrument panel briefly - a reference to Vesta.

The seats and gear lever have been updated slightly. The rear seats fold using 60/40 technology. The car is suitable for everyday trips. The question of long trips is questionable, because real tests are needed here.

Technical characteristics of Lada Granta SW

The new body of the Lada Granta station wagon has remained virtually unchanged in size. One can only note an increase in the overall length by 34 mm due to other bumpers. The new bumper at the front began to stick out a little more than before. Width, height, the same indicators. There are no changes in the size of the wheelbase.

As for the manual transmission, the manufacturer announced an optimization of the manual transmission design, an increase in the gear ratio of the main pair from 3.7 to 3.9, plus the gearbox will make less noise and unnecessary vibrations will disappear. In addition to mechanics, a 4-speed automatic transmission and robotic AMT will be available. In this regard, there is complete unification with Granta. Apparently, for the suspension and chassis, the entire family will now use a common set of spare parts.

The engines of the budget station wagon retained their volume of 1.6 liters and the same power. The VAZ-11186 8-valve unit produces 87 hp. The 16-valve VAZ-21127 develops 106 horsepower. Another 16-valve engine, which is paired with a 4-band automatic transmission, will produce 98 hp. It would seem that the engines are the same - 4 cylinders with distributed injection, a cast iron block and a timing belt. But here too the manufacturer has prepared a surprise. To replace the old pistons with flat bottoms, new ones with recesses for the valves will be installed in the engines. This design of the pistons will avoid serious engine damage in the event of a timing belt break. True, it is still unknown when such engines will be installed under the hood of the new product.

The usual MacPherson strut at the front and semi-independent suspension at the rear. Electrically powered rack and pinion steering. Additional sound insulation appeared under the hood, and the hood lock was moved. But most importantly, they put an elastic band on the bottom of the hood to prevent dirt from flying onto the engine. Well, now for all Grants the trunk opens with a button, which is installed next to the license plate light.

Restyled Lada Granta: full review of new products and jambs

This fall, AvtoVAZ brought a lot of fruit to its consumers - these are new versions of the XRAY hatchback, as well as the Lada Vesta, a slightly modernized Lada 4x4, but perhaps the most important event was the appearance of the updated Lada Granta family. And we have already tested the sedan and hatchback.

From now on, Lada Kalina is no more. Now both the sedan and the liftback, as well as the hatchback and station wagon, along with the off-road version of the Cross, will be sold with the Granta nameplate. At the instigation of maestro Steve Mattin, Granta received a new X-face in the spirit of the older models - Vesta and Xray: headlights on a dark glossy backing, a black radiator grille with large slats and chrome inserts on the bumper. All this forced the creators to change not only the shape of the hood, but also the front fenders.

Due to the new “cladding,” the length of the sedan increased by 8 mm, the liftback by 4 mm, the hatchback by 33 mm and the station wagon by 34 mm. Colored bumpers are already included in the basic version

A small rearrangement also took place in the area of ​​the A-pillars: the windshield washer nozzles moved from the hood to a plastic “jabot” near the windshield, and duplicate turn indicators in top versions were implanted into the side mirrors. The logo with a rook on the front has also increased, and the inscription “LADA” appears on the back instead of the emblem. By the way, on sedans, at the very edge of the trunk lid (above the “LADA” inscription) a tiny protrusion a la spoiler appeared. According to the creators, the new appearance has improved aerodynamics by 1.5%.

Headlights for the new Granta were collected all over the world. Specialists from Neolite Zkw Lightings Pvt Ltd took part in the development. (India) and Genter Service GmbH (Germany), and they are produced in the Uzbek Namangan at the UzChasis enterprise

But that's not all. In the sedan, the place for the license plate has moved from the bumper to the trunk lid, and both of these parts have received more prominent shapes so that the rear does not look heavy as before. The liftback now has a dark insert on the bumper, which houses parking sensors and is not an eyesore. True, the hatchback and station wagon have unpainted parking sensors located higher, like the sedan, which is why three black dots are already visible on the bumper.

The turn indicators in top versions are located in the side mirrors. The windshield washer nozzles are covered by the hood cover, which now has a slight rise near the windshield - this allows the incoming air flow to better clean the glass

The final touches to the portrait of the restyled model were a new wheel design and two new paint colors. One of them is “carnelian”. In the language of VAZ colorists, this is a rich red color; the test hatchback was painted in it. The second new color is “techno”, we haven’t seen it yet. It has not yet been presented on the official website, but, as we found out, a gray metallic color will be hidden under this name. The name is clearly more euphonious than “blue planet”, which is also present in the palette.

Felt fender liners are used in all wheel arches - this allows you to level out noise from sandblasting and drumming pebbles. The inside of the hood has an additional seal that protects the engine compartment from flying dirt.

In the cabin, the instrument cluster with a new on-board computer, which has a contrast screen, like on Vesta, is striking. There are no fundamental differences in the set of functions, but the red scales with radial digitization look original, and the display is now divided into several “floors” by dashes, which makes it easier to read the information. And then comes pure “jewelry”: more comfortable and elegant handles for the gear lever and handbrake, new triangular door handles, new decorative inserts with a “3D pattern” on the front panel and chrome trim around the air ducts on the sides of the panel. The “beard”, along with the radio unit and white button illumination, migrated from Kalina, which made it possible to place a locking box on top of the center console. The design was updated with only two silver moldings forming the letter “X” around the ventilation system.

The doors open wide - this is a plus, but weak intermediate position locks are a minus. Flap your wings more carefully in parking lots

Now let's move on to functional changes. All wheel arches now have felt fender liners, dampening the sounds of sandblasting and gravel impacts. The trunk lid (well, finally), regardless of the body type, now has an electric button instead of a lock cylinder, and new locking mechanisms make it possible not to slam the doors. And there’s no need to worry, saying that the battery runs out and now the trunk won’t open. All versions have access from the passenger compartment through the back of the rear seat.

A microlift for the driver's seat, new seats with brighter upholstery, a new instrument cluster and new gearshift and handbrake handles are the most striking features of the updated Grant interior

The seats have changed padding, profile, upholstery and its pattern, and also have height adjustment in the range of 40 mm, but we will talk about this a little later. And starting this year, all Grants received the ERA-GLONASS system and a three-year or 100,000 km warranty. But at the same time, the factory workers delicately kept silent about the fact that the multimedia system with a touch screen and navigation disappeared from the maximum configurations. The reason for this “optimization” is the low demand for this device.

The instrument cluster does not have backlight brightness adjustment. The clocks of the on-board computer and the standard radio are not synchronized

Despite all the innovations, the Lada’s interior is still very “musical”: I closed the door - and immediately a booming echo echoed throughout the cabin, the key was inserted into the ignition with a metallic clang, from which the trim of the steering column casing resonated. The same echo occurs when the ringing steering wheel paddles are clicked, and the “clack” of relays responsible for various electrical equipment is a classic of the genre. But you can always tell by ear whether the headlights or heated rear window are malfunctioning.

The radio has not only the usual FM range, but also VHF, MW and LW!

The presence of a microlift in the driver's seat will be appreciated, first of all, by stocky riders, but people of average height and above will most likely complain that the seat itself in the lowest position is still set too high. At first I liked the new, denser padding and the slightly modified profile, but the more you drive, the more clearly you notice that due to the hard filler, the pecks, bumps and vibrations that the suspension, together with the power unit, transmit to the body are less absorbed. There is also not enough lateral support, and adjusting the lumbar support for these “seats” would not hurt. As well as an additional lamp on the ceiling above the rear sofa. At night, Egyptian darkness reigns here. By the way, the light of the new headlights also left ambiguous impressions: while the high beam is really good, the low beam is still “blind”.

The trunk lid on sedans does not have padding, but it can be purchased from the dealer. Beautiful fabric mats with the model logo are also a dealer accessory

The line of power units has not changed - these are the same three 1.6-liter engines: 8-valve with 87 hp. and two “16-valve” engines with a capacity of 98 or 106 “horses”. However, starting this year, AvtoVAZ has completely switched the above-mentioned engines to “stickless” pistons produced by Federal Mogul, in the bottom of which there are special “samples” for valves. This gives a chance to avoid a “meeting on the Elbe” - bending of the valves if the timing belt breaks. Considering that the “strap” often does not survive the prescribed replacement upon reaching the 180,000 km mark, such an innovation will clearly protect the engine from serious consequences.

Windows that do not go down completely are a feature of VAZ models of past decades. In the cabin, instead of the electric trunk lock button, there is a plug

The second change is the replacement of the main gearbox 3.71 with 3.94 on all versions with a 5-speed manual transmission and with an AMT robot (with automatic transmission, as before, 4.1). A “shorter” pair makes it possible to more effectively realize the traction capabilities of the engine in each gear and makes acceleration more confident, which is reflected in the dynamic qualities. Acceleration to “hundreds” was reduced by 0.2–0.7 seconds, maximum speed increased by 1–7 km/h depending on the type of body and power unit. True, fuel efficiency in the urban and combined cycles for all cars deteriorated slightly by 0.1–0.2 l/100 km, but in the suburban cycle it improved by as much as half a liter, which is quite natural.

The processes of folding and unfolding the rear seat directly depend on the height of the people sitting in front. If a tall person is driving, then the headrest will most likely have to be removed in order to lower the backrest all the way down. But in any case, the tall comrade in front will have to make room, otherwise unfolding the rear sofa will be very problematic. The headrests are difficult to remove, and it is not very clear which part of the body is best to do this, because each leg has its own tight lock. It’s impossible to press both with the fingers of one hand!

The test included only a sedan with a 106-horsepower engine and a 5-speed manual transmission and a liftback with a 4-speed automatic transmission. It’s a pity that there were no versions with an AMT robotic gearbox, because this unit received new firmware that reduced gear change time by 30%, as well as a more heat-resistant clutch. In addition, she has three new movement algorithms. The first is the “creeping” mode. If the transmission selector is moved to position “A” to move forward, the car begins to roll forward without adding gas. The second is winter mode. Roughly speaking, the box now allows you to start driving from second gear in manual mode. Well, the third is the sport mode, activated by a separate button, in which the electronics allow you to rev the engine harder and maintain high speeds without switching to a higher gear.

The sensitivity of the rain sensor is adjusted using a separate knob under the interior mirror. This is correct, there is no need to relax, it’s not for nothing that they say “the driver’s workplace”!

But the 106-horsepower Granta with the VAZ-21127 engine is suited in spirit to “mechanics”. The result is a nimble car that can easily outshine more expensive models in terms of dynamics. The same 123-horsepower Hyundai Solaris, considered one of the fastest cars among state employees, accelerates to “hundreds” in 10.3 seconds. Granta's result is only two tenths of a second worse. And subjectively, such a Granta is generally perceived as a “race”: the engine spins well up to almost 6000 rpm, the gears easily click, and due to poor noise and vibration insulation, the sensations are only aggravated. But if during “active throttling” this puts you in a fighting mood, then during normal driving it tires you: the trembling from the power unit is transmitted to the seat and controls, and you hear everything that happens behind the engine shield.

In expensive versions, the Lada is equipped with Pirelli Cinturato P1 tires of size 185/55R15, while the spare wheel is equipped with a simpler Belshina BEL-264 of size 175/65R14. It's good that Chinese Linglong tires are a thing of the past!

However, the chassis is not able to fully realize the capabilities of this power unit. Although on the restyled Grants the plant used all the best solutions that were at hand: abandoning Mando geared amplifiers in favor of Kaluga gearless units from Avtoelektronika (the steering shaft serves as an electric motor rotor); new calibrations of the electric amplifier itself in the name of improving information content; installation on all cars of the suspension from the previous luxury versions with gas-filled shock absorbers and “filled up” castor. The sluggish reactions to turning the steering wheel have not disappeared. The car reluctantly enters the curve, lazily follows the driver’s commands, rolls noticeably and takes impacts on the steering wheel when driving over uneven surfaces. And the Granta’s suspension can’t be called comfortable either. You can’t deny its elasticity and energy intensity, but it doesn’t know how to “delicately” handle all the little things on the road.

Blackened screws are not only an eyesore, but can also ruin your manicure. For example, in door recesses they are not covered with anything. Ladies, be careful!

I change into a liftback with a 98-horsepower 1.6-liter engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission. Inside, the interior is still the same - the only difference is that there are two pedals and the same automatic transmission selector instead of an updated lever, there is no “prompt” for the optimal gear on the on-board computer screen, and behind the “gallery” there is a cool 435-liter trunk. True, the luggage door is still tight, but the designers slightly simplified the task by attaching a small buttonhole to one of the handles.

The liftback now has a strap fastened with a self-tapping screw - it makes it easier to pull the heavy trunk lid

However, the most important and not the best difference between all cars with automatic transmission, regardless of body type, is that even in the top configuration, which is now the Luxe version, there is no ESC stabilization system. Let me remind you that such a car costs from 623,000 rubles! Moreover, there are no technical restrictions for combining this option with this power unit, because there used to be such versions, and now insurance electronics paired with a traction control system are offered only for the Comfort package that is one step below. This is such a paradox. Skimping on safety is a bad sign, especially since the two-pedal version is more suitable for those who are not confident in their driving skills.

For versions with automatic transmission, the on-board computer shows the position of the selector and the current gear

On the move, the 98-horsepower hatchback with an automatic Jatco JF414E also did not surprise anyone. Everything is the same as six years ago, when I first got behind the wheel of an “automatic” Granta - it turned out to be a good option for a relatively affordable city car: four gears are enough for it, the gearbox quickly reacts to pressing the gas pedal, changes gears smoothly and adapts well to the driver. Of course, there are also disadvantages - fuel consumption has increased by 1-2 liters compared to a manual transmission and not the fastest overtaking in third gear in the range of 80-120 km/h.

All versions with “mechanics” and “robot” received a new main pair 3.9 instead of 3.7, due to which they became a little faster

Everything has been said above about handling; the hatchback did not bring anything new. There remains a characteristic drawback of all versions with an automatic transmission in the form of a stiff and uninformative brake pedal. In the first third of the pedal stroke, the deceleration is weak, and then the pads suddenly grab the discs. It’s hard to find this line if you’re not used to it; as a result, almost every braking ends in a dive.

All versions with automatic transmission do not have a stabilization system

Discussing the latest Lada innovations, we stopped wondering about the build quality. It seems that over the past 6-7 years, AvtoVAZ has done a lot in order not to blush for its own products; all the “horror stories” about “buckets of bolts” seem to be a thing of the past. But as soon as I decided to move the headlight range control to the zero position, its handle remained in my hands, and the bar with the mode indication began to dangle in the seat.

And if this was the only “jamb”... While driving, the steering wheel, with the wheels in a straight position, looked about five degrees to the left, as if they had forgotten to do the wheel alignment at the factory. As representatives of AvtoVAZ later commented, this defect was caused by wheel imbalance due to an impact, apparently while driving the car to the test drive site. I was ready to believe it, but my colleagues from “Autoreview” already had steering wheels “looking” to the sides on other cars. Also “imbalance due to impact”? Where did such a “miracle hole” come from that all three cars flew into it like a “locomotive”?

The misadventures with the liftback did not end there. While driving, when accelerating from a standstill and adding traction, a noise was periodically heard from the bowels of the car, more like a small rattling sound - this is how a vibration-loaded exhaust system usually makes noise when it comes into contact with heat shields. But this sound both appeared and disappeared by itself after some time. In a word, a living car! But this is not the end of the story! When checking the speedometer readings with several navigation programs on various smartphones, it turned out that when driving uniformly, the speed on the speedometer was approximately 2-3 km/h lower than what was displayed on the navigators. Who to trust in this case is not an easy question, but in my practice this happens for the second time in my life, so that the real speed is underestimated. Usually speedometers either show the true speed or slightly overestimate it so that the car owner does not have problems with the law. Moreover, I didn’t notice this either on the sedan or on previous Grants or Kalinas.

Let's summarize. Lada Granta, as before, looks like a tightly built and balanced car in terms of consumer characteristics, which has definitely benefited from restyling. More attractive appearance, fresher interior, a little more options and more convenience. Yes, Granta is still rude in her habits, harsh in nature, careless in decoration and angry towards her owner. However, to any complaint there has always been and remains a universal answer: “So this is a “state employee”, he can be forgiven!” But look how rapidly prices for this notorious “Le budget” segment are rising! You can’t approach Lada without 420 thousand rubles!

In what other owner's manual would you see a section on additional equipment for learning to drive?

And no matter how much factory marketers boast that they managed to maintain prices for basic versions or even reduce them, you and I understand that a decently equipped car will cost half a million or even more. You should completely forget about the automatic version if you don’t have 580 thousand in your pocket. Granta with its roaring engine is already breaking into the segment in which Vesta, XRAY and Renault Logan together with Sandero rule. I’m already silent about the fact that on the secondary market there are a lot of tempting offers to take a one and a half or two year old Rapid, Polo sedan or Solaris with Rio. Why buy a structurally older and more primitive model if you can throw in 50-100 thousand rubles and get something more recent? “Have you gotten too greedy in your Moscow? What a “fifty dollar”, and so we sit in credit slavery until retirement,” I can already hear in response. But, brothers, let's be honest: paying the same 15-20 thousand rubles for an updated model will also hurt your pocket. And then the question arises: was it worth it to create a new appearance, trick up the finishing and change badges if the consumer counts every penny? Therefore, there is only one conclusion: the updated Grant should be considered for purchase if your budget is strictly limited to half a million rubles, but for this money you won’t see either a “robot” or an “automatic machine” as your own ears. But even after shelling out 500 thousand of your hard earned money, you don’t want to get a car with crooked wheels, falling off handles and a lying speedometer.

Specifications

Review of the new body

The automobile concern offers customers an updated version in the line of passenger cars - Lada Granta Universal 2018, equipped with a 1.6-liter engine.

The changes affected both the external part, for example, the back and front mask, and the internal part. In the latter case, we are talking about expanded functionality. The second change, which pleasantly surprised users, is related to the expansion of the line of existing modifications. If previously “sedan” and “liftback” were available in the dealer network, now “station wagon”, “hatchback” and “cross-station wagon” have been added to them.

Exterior

The trunk, like the entire rear part of the car, received a beveled shape. Despite the fact that the resulting angle makes it visually smaller, it is not inferior in capacity to its predecessors. From a practical point of view, the new Lada Granta Universal 2022 is a compact car for an urban environment. If you wish, you can go on a trip on it.

The new station wagon takes the X-face concept as its basis. The list of main innovations is as follows:

• increased size of the radiator grille;
• updated bumper geometry;
• improved appearance of front optics;
• mirrors are supplemented with turn signal indicators;
• improved concept of rear lights and bumper;
• the state registration plate is fixed on the back of the trunk lid, which was not the case in previous versions;
• updated shape of wheel rims.

The given parameters may vary slightly depending on the selected configuration.

Interior

Analysts immediately drew attention to the minimal number of transformations in the cabin. Drivers who have dealt with the predecessors of the updated version will notice the new color of the operating panel illumination. Instead of green, it acquired a white tint.

The second color change is the appearance of an orange glow on the digitization scale. The third visual change in the interior of the new Lada Granta Universal 2022 body is the appearance of an X-shaped edging on the rectangular deflectors. If we talk about the instrument panel, it has received an appearance that makes it similar to the Lada Vesta.
