Lada Xray Cross 4x4: photos, prices, specifications, equipment

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.

Exterior

The appearance of the Lada XRAY Cross remains largely the same as the simple modification. However, minor improvements and changes made Cross’s image much more impressive.

Appearance of Lada X Ray Cross

The entire car is surrounded by a plastic body kit that protects not only the doors, but also the fenders. The front end looks more aggressive due to the modified bumper configuration and a light line running through the air intake.

Stylish alloy wheels stand out on the side. And the rear looks more expressive thanks to the silver trim at the bottom of the rear bumper and the bifurcated exhaust.

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.

The wide body kit of the new model has three reflectors. In the cutouts of the shaped metal diffuser there is a pair of exhaust pipes, eyes and a towbar bracket.

Interior

The interior of the Lada X Ray Cross is diluted with orange inserts on the seats, dashboard and door panels. The front seats have been modified - the design of the cushion has been changed, and the backrests have received more pronounced lateral support.

There are also some changes in ergonomics. For example, the seat heating buttons were moved from the bases of the seats, where they were difficult to reach, to the center console.

The rest of the interior is pleasing. Sufficiently high-quality materials, nice design, good visibility, well-thought-out ergonomics, spaciousness - what more do you need?

Specifications

In this regard, there are most changes.

Engines

Unlike the simple version, the Lada X Ray Cross received only one power unit - a top-end 1.8-liter petrol engine with a capacity of 122 hp. With. Marketers sensibly reasoned that this modification could do without the base 1.6-liter engine.

Transmission

The engine is paired exclusively with a 5-speed manual transmission. However, this is only a temporary solution. Surely a modification with the usual AMT robot will go on sale later. The appearance of a stepless variator is not excluded.

Suspension

It’s worth noting right away that the Lada XRAY Cross does not have all-wheel drive. Therefore, many who hoped to see a 4x4 layout here were disappointed. However, the Lada Ride Select system shows its best side, especially in winter mode. So those who like to go outdoors don’t have to worry about getting stuck.

The chassis layout remains the same - MacPherson struts at the front and a torsion beam at the rear axle. However, there are many constructive changes. Engineers upgraded the anti-roll bar, subframe, used different arms, redesigned the brakes, shock absorber springs, etc.

Naturally, all this had the best effect on handling and cross-country ability.

Reviews from owners of Lada X-Ray Cross 2020-2021

They say that AvtoVAZ engineers found two extra centimeters in the Cross for rear space by moving the rear sofa somewhere. I don’t know how they are, I personally didn’t find them - it’s cramped in the back. No not like this. It's fantastically tight in the back. I didn’t repeat the common trick of “sit by yourself”, I was afraid of getting stuck and forever having to live in the back seat of X-Ray. My seven-year-old son (128 cm) sits normally, but when disembarking and landing, he snorts severely and silently. I'm afraid to ask how it feels for him.

I would also really like to talk about the dashboard. Psychologists say that the color orange carries “cheerfulness, a positive attitude, passion, readiness to solve complex problems, joy and spontaneity.” I'm happy for those passionate cheerleaders who painted the appliances orange, but I'm lazy and dull and would prefer simpler colors.

Review of Lada XRAY Cross 1.6 (113 hp) with CVT 2020

We have roads throughout the winter, but not everywhere, there is porridge in the yard, it’s difficult to walk. I’m checking how Raid Select will work: the green arrow blinks, I’m driving straight, my rear isn’t dragging, great. I give it a plus. We drive into the yard, there is a rut, I drive straight, it comes out of the rut calmly. Then the snow porridge: it goes, rows, as if nothing had happened, only the arrow blinks. A definite plus!

Motor and transmission. In short, it's all smooth and slow. During the run-in, I even regretted that I took the version with the CVT. But after 2-3 thousand km the car went better. I also noticed that the transmission does not like to drive “cold” - it needs to be warmed up before the trip for at least five minutes.

I really like the suspension on the X Ray Cross. I think it’s no worse tuned than Renault, and these guys are famous for their ability to adapt hardware to Russian roads. Potholes, potholes, sleeping policemen are handled with a bang!

Review of the new Lada X Ray Cross 1.6 CVT 2022

Every time I try to open or close the window, I have to play little dinosaur. You press your paw towards your body, twist it harder, and only then can you operate the windows. And this circus with fastening the belt through the target between the seat and the armrest?!

If the left hand will soon become a dinosaur's paw, then the right hand will be flexible and thin like a snake. The factory music is also interesting. In the middle there is a convenient knob for... don't think it's for adjusting the volume. It's for searching channels!

Review of Lada X-Ray Cross 1.6 (113 hp) with CVT 2019

Ground clearance: either 210 mm or 215 mm is a thing. On the very first day, I didn’t notice a small hole-crater with melted snow on the hatch. He drove slowly and fell into it also slowly. I had time to think, is the bottom strong and what will I hit with - the bottom or the arch? Nothing! The wheel found the bottom and calmly, in silence, drove out of this gigantic hole.

The car itself is quite tall. In the first days, when I took my foot out of the car, I was looking for the ground! Where are you down there, dear? My wheels have gift tires 215/50 R17. Rare, unpopular, expensive. They are holding the road. I must say that they perform their function perfectly, except for the sounds they make.

Denis, review of the new Lada XRAY Cross 1.6 (113 hp) CVT 2020.

Specifications

Like the regular version of the model, the 2022 all-terrain Lada X Ray Cross is built on the B0 platform, where an independent suspension with MacPherson struts is installed at the front, and a semi-independent beam at the rear. Interestingly, the chassis uses different springs and shock absorbers, and the ground clearance is raised by several millimeters.

The cross-version of the hatchback has more powerful brakes: they are disc brakes, and they are also ventilated on the front wheels. Plus, the raised XRAY Cross has electric power steering and reach-adjustable steering column.

Note that a car with a manual transmission can be equipped with the “Lada Ride Select” stabilization system with several working presets: normal, sports, winter and for sand. However, if necessary, stabilization can be completely deactivated. The all-terrain Lada X Ray Cross has the following overall dimensions, mm

• Length - 4 165
• Width - 1,764
• Height - 1 645
• Wheelbase - 2,592
• Ground clearance (clearance) - 215

The car has a trunk volume of 361 liters, while the capacity of the compartment with the second row seats folded reaches 1,207 liters. The model has a 50-liter fuel tank, while its curb weight varies from 1,225 to 1,300 kg (depending on the selected engine and equipment level).

• The five-door model is equipped with a 1.6-liter VAZ-21179 engine with a power of 122 hp. (170 Nm) and five-speed manual transmission. With this combination of units, the Lada X Ray Cross is capable of accelerating from zero to hundreds in 10.3 seconds, and its top speed reaches 179 km/h.
• More expensive versions are equipped with a 1.6-liter H4M engine from the Renault-Nissan alliance. It produces 113 horsepower and 152 Nm of torque, working in tandem with a continuously variable transmission. This modification accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 12.3 seconds, and its speed limit is 163 kilometers per hour.

The capabilities of the engines proposed for the Lada X Ray Cross are enough in the city, but on the highway, and even more so on mountain serpentines, there is a clear lack of power. In such conditions, the engine has to be cranked, which inevitably has a negative impact on fuel efficiency.

As for handling, the model’s steering wheel is slightly flimsy, and when cornering at speed, rolls are observed, but overall the hatchback with a 215 mm ground clearance rides and steers quite decently. The car's suspension is expectedly sensitive to small irregularities, but it filters out medium ones so that the road seems better than it actually is. In this regard, the prefix “Cross” in the name justifies itself 100%.

The interior of the new Lada XRAY Cross 2022 is nice, but expectedly simple. The interior features a lot of hard plastic, which can begin to creak over time. Add here the far from good sound insulation with a loud engine and suspension, which means you can forget about silence in the cabin.

The front seats of the “all-terrain” modification are different, with more pronounced lateral support and a different cushion. The seating position in them is comfortable, and even a tall driver (190 cm) can sit comfortably behind the wheel. True, in this case there will be very little space left behind it. The rear sofa in fact remained the same, although its geometric parameters were slightly revised (25 mm of free space was added at the passengers’ feet).

Interesting Facts

The Moscow Motor Show in 2018 became the site of the premiere of the all-terrain hatchback Lada XRAY Cross, a pre-production version of which was shown at the same exhibition two years ago.

From the outside, the Lada XRAY Cross is distinguished by a protective body kit made of unpainted plastic all around, as well as an original front bumper with a fashionable chrome trim along the bottom. The car has roof rails and a fin antenna, the wheels have 17-inch alloy wheels, and the rear bumper is decorated with a silver insert and a dual exhaust pipe.

Initially, in addition to a manual transmission, the car was also offered an AMT robotic transmission, but in the summer of 1919 the car was equipped with a Jatco JF015E continuously variable variator with manual control function.
