A large-scale update of the model range carried out by AvtoVAZ has led to the appearance of the 2022 Lada Grant in four body styles: liftback, hatchback, station wagon and sedan. Because of this, the Russian model competes with Renault Sandero and Logan, Ravon R2 and R3. Moreover, Granta recently received a sports modification, Drive Active. The Russian model comes with 3 engines and the same number of gearboxes. The initial versions of the car are not rich in equipment: ABS with EBD, 1 airbag and audio preparation.

Reviews of Lada Granta

In general, designers are making the car more comfortable every year and Lada is gaining more and more fans. Displacing brands such as Solaris from the Korean concern Hynday, Polo and other budget models on the market. In addition to the excellent price-quality ratio, when buying a domestically produced car, you can take advantage of various government programs, preferential lending, and use regional maternity capital for the purchase.

Granta cannot be called fast. The lack of dynamics is especially felt in the 98 hp engine version with automatic transmission. This modification develops speed well only up to 40 km/h, after which the speedometer indicator rises very slowly, and dynamics appear only during recoil.

At speed, the car turns with a slight tilt. Braking out of habit is uncomfortable: the pedal sinks and the lift is not felt until 40% of the pedal is pressed.

However, the Granta is not a sports car to require much more from it, and for a car in its class, it handles quite well. The main advantage of the model is its almost indestructible suspension, which ensures a very smooth ride even on rough roads.

The front seats of the new Granta 2022 Lada look better after restyling: the seat back is quite high, the headrest is adjustable. However, it has become more rigid, including in terms of upholstery, so on long trips the desire to stretch your legs arises more often than in an old car.

The main disadvantage of the second row is the narrow passage at the bottom of the doors, which makes entry and exit difficult. The rear seat is a three-seater seat, but two adults and one child can sit there comfortably.

New body – liftback.

Appearance

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.

Sedan is the standard for everything

Oddly enough, this type of body is consistently popular among Russians. It turned out to be a practical solution due to the fact that the rear bench folds down to provide more space. Moreover, even initially 520 liters can be enough for almost everything. Surprisingly, the sedan turns out to be the most dynamic choice among other Granta variants. And this despite the fact that the base cost is almost lower than the others. There are rumors that the hatch may be discontinued altogether.

Buying a car is a serious matter and should be approached intelligently.

Salon

The update also had a slight impact on the interior of the car. Now the new Lada Granta 2022 model year will be made of higher quality fabrics and plastic, which can be both soft and hard. In the basic configuration you can now find more functionality, however, there will still not be full-fledged multimedia here. The chairs have been improved somewhat, making it even more comfortable to sit on.

The dashboard here does not have the most pleasant appearance. Deflectors, audio preparation, various analog buttons, washers and switches are scattered on it in a chaotic manner. The situation is somewhat better in the advanced configuration, where there is a touch monitor that replaces most of all these parts. The tunnel here is no different in style, which can only boast of the presence of cup holders, and not very large ones, a gear shift knob, a parking brake and other organizers. The armrest is installed here only at an additional cost.

The car has good seats, but they are still not suitable for long trips. They are always finished with fabrics and have a harsh filling. The only functionality here is a heated front row, mechanical drives for adjusting it, imitation of lateral support and head restraints. Amenities on the second row include a folding armrest and headrests.

Now let's debunk some myths

1. Does the galvanized body confidently resist the onslaught of corrosion?

Even in a situation where the dealer gives a positive answer to your question about the presence of galvanized body on the Lada Grant, it is still too early to relax. The “Russian” coating has a small thickness, which entails a rapid loss of the protective zinc layer. Without the use of measures aimed at additional treatment of body components, the panels will still slowly corrode.

Specifications

For the Lada Granta 2022, the well-known 1.6-liter gasoline engines with a capacity of 87, 98 and 106 “horses” will be prepared. Transmission options will include a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic. The drive, as before, will be front-wheel drive. A little later, buyers will be able to purchase a modernized 114-horsepower sports version of the car, as well as a car with a bi-fuel engine, which, in addition to gasoline, can use methane.

Such characteristics will allow the car to move well around the city and on the highway, but it is not worth driving off the road. But fuel consumption will please every motorist.

Galvanization: has the body been processed at the proper level?

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"

Today, at the Togliatti plant, the processing of the body and its metal parts involves a standard layer of galvanization. True, not the entire area of ​​the car is subjected to this process, but only the most vulnerable areas of the body, such as the bottom, etc. First of all, these areas are located close to the road surface, thereby being damaged quite often: chips, scratches and damage to the integrity of the surface paintwork Such places of the body are a common phenomenon.

Note. What does the galvanizing layer do in this case? It effectively protects the body frame from rusting, preventing the process from further progressing rapidly in areas of chips and scratches.

On the one hand, a layer of galvanization, of course, cannot completely protect the metal from corrosion. On the other hand, if it were not there, the elements would begin to rust in short periods of time, after some minor accident or the car falling off the jack.

There is a lot of controversy regarding galvanizing. In particular, the question concerns the following: is the body of the Lada Granta sufficiently galvanized, if we keep in mind the percentage ratio. Here is what I would like to say about this:

• Lada Granta is considered a budget car, which automatically excludes full processing;
• It is precisely because the Granta is a budget car that it has fewer body elements designed to work in harsh conditions.

On the other hand, all “vitally” important body elements of the car are, of course, coated at the factory with a layer of galvanization. This happens in the press shop, where zinc is applied to the steel sheet on both sides.

Is it worth carrying out additional anti-corrosion treatment on the Lada Granta? Car owners often ask on forums. The manufacturer does not advise doing this, hinting that he has foreseen everything himself. On the other hand, no matter what guarantee against corrosion AvtoVAZ gives for the first 6 years of car operation, we were not born yesterday, and we understand that the manufacturer’s guarantee is one thing, but the real situation is completely different.

Here are the areas of the domestic car that are most at risk:

• Rear wheel wells and fenders;
• Trunk sides;
• Bottom;
• Door pillars and trim;
• Protective components, etc.
