Technical characteristics of Lada-Kalina (VAZ-1117, 1118, 1119)

Main characteristics of the car

The elegant Kalina
VAZ 1119 is the first generation of the model, which was produced from 2006 to 2022. The trunk volume of the car is 235 liters. Due to the high opening and the ability to quickly fold the rear seat, the Kalina VAZ 11193 is capable of transporting large loads.

The hatchback is available in 3 options.

1. Standard.
2. Norm.
3. Luxury

The advantages of the top and middle versions include the presence of ABS, front airbags and an air conditioning system with a corresponding split system. The “Lux” package of Lada Kalina 111930 provides improved upholstery of the interior and door panels. The car interior is spacious and comfortable. If necessary, its tuning is possible.

The characteristics of lighting technology and the modern appearance of the VAZ 1119 contribute to an increase in demand for this model. You can buy it through official VAZ dealers. The catalog will familiarize everyone in detail with the technical capabilities of the car, body colors and other details that need to be taken into account when purchasing a vehicle.

Prices for each model are calculated individually. Car owners of Lada Kalina 1119 leave positive reviews about their vehicle. This economical car is perfect for both city travel and long-distance travel.

Types of Lada Kalina bodies

All of the above models have a spacious trunk in which you can transport various loads. The station wagon's parameters exceed the dimensions of the Lada hatchback and sedan. Ground clearance averages 160 mm. Any modification allows you to do tuning yourself. Initially, Kalina's disk size was R13. Later AvtoVAZ began producing Lada with R14 and R15.

The prices for a standard station wagon are reasonable for many people. The front part of the Lada Kalina body is equipped with small headlights, a narrow radiator grille and an additional air intake.

The Kalina hatchback is considered the most proportional car of the family in question. The Lada station wagon model is considered useful and reliable for long trips. The sedan body differs from other variants of Kalina by its zinc coating (65%). However, practice has shown that after 2-3 years corrosion appears on the car. Such defects can be seen at joints and seams, around doors and in places where mudguards are fixed.

During operation, minor scratches may appear on the hood of the Lada Kalina “Norma” configuration. Car owners notice similar defects on the front bumper. The anti-corrosion coating, which is applied at the factory to the bottom of the car in the “Norma” modification, is capable of coping with the task assigned to it. All Lada Kalina models are characterized by uneven gaps and other manufacturing defects. Before you buy a vehicle, you need to inspect it thoroughly.

The interior of Lada “Norma”, “Lux” and other modifications is plastic. The steering column can be adjusted in height. The front doors have electric windows. An informative dashboard, a central console, the presence of various sensors, an on-board computer - these are the main characteristics of the Lada Kalina.

The ventilation system control unit is located high, which creates some discomfort during the operation of Kalina. The front seats are quite comfortable. The rear of the cabin is spacious. The trunk of the Lada sedan is 400 liters. If necessary, you can fold the back row, increasing the dimensions of the luggage compartment.

The Kalina hatchback has a cargo compartment of 235 liters, and with the rear seats folded down - 545 liters. The station wagon has a luggage compartment with a volume of 350 liters.

About the different body types of Lada Kalina

The review would be incomplete without at least briefly mentioning all the modifications of this model. The days when only a sedan was available are long gone. Now Kalina is a functional, technologically advanced and modern car, reflecting the development trends of the domestic automobile industry.

Lada Kalina hatchback

The concept of a “city car” is being mentioned more and more often. For residents of megacities, off-road driving is already a kind of entertainment. Bulky and massive SUVs can cause a lot of inconvenience when driving around the city due to their size and gluttony. Increasingly, for fast movement in the city, people are paying attention to small and maneuverable cars. Such nimble, exclusively city cars include the Lada Kalina hatchback.

Despite its small dimensions, the hatchback looks impressive and reliable. This effect was achieved, perhaps, due to the raised front end with short overhangs. The headlights do not merge with the rest of the front parts and are located at a sufficient distance from each other.

Modest size is not a problem for different drivers; both a fragile girl and an adult man feel equally comfortable behind the wheel. The doors open at almost a 90-degree angle, and the wide openings hint at the versatility of the model. The ceiling is made high, again so that even a tall driver feels comfortable and does not hit his head on the top of the cabin.

The steering wheel is quite ergonomic and has a comfortable grip; the car holds the road well, clearly responding to any turn of the steering wheel. Depending on the configuration, the car can be equipped with an air conditioning system, which allows you to select an optimal and comfortable microclimate.

In front there are soft seats with the ability to adjust the position, with the exception of height. Compared to the first generation, vibration isolation of the interior has been noticeably improved. Such versatility is a huge plus of the Kalina as a city car.

You can also choose a suitable transmission if you wish, this is the good old mechanics from AvtoVAZ or a reliable Japanese four-speed automatic. There are currently only seven body paint shades on sale: in addition to the standard black and white, there are brown, orange, blue, silver and dark gray.

The car can be safely used not only in the city, but also outside it. The suspension is also designed for dirt roads. The car is equipped with three types of engines, differing in power.

Kalina station wagon

It is considered one of the most popular types. Any European or Japanese small car can envy Kalina in terms of fuel consumption, and the cost of a native car is incomparably lower. It is not surprising that many motorists choose a practical station wagon. Compared to the hatchback, the interior is more spacious: three people of average build can fit in the back, and for two people the conditions are completely comfortable, even with headrests installed.

Lada Kalina in the “Comfort” configuration was equipped with a choice of 16-valve engines of 1.4 and 1.6 liters of Euro-3 class:

• Safety: to all options of the basic “Standard” version, an anti-lock braking system (ABS), a choice of automatic or manual transmission, airbags for the driver and front passenger (Airbag), and daytime running lights were added.

• Anti-theft system: two-way or one-way at the client’s choice; central locking, standard immobilizer.
• Exterior: R14 or R15 wheels to choose from, in the second generation in the “Sport” and “Cross” versions since 2013, the ability to install diameters R16, R17, rigid anti-roll bar, reinforced body safety elements, arch moldings and increased ground clearance up to 23 mm.

With the release of the second generation after 2013, the “Active Drive” category became available, on which a forced 16-valve engine with increased power was installed. The “Sport” and “Cross” versions were equipped with some options from the maximum luxury series: heated seats, rain and light sensors, a passenger airbag and improved interior trim.

Dimensions

Compared to previous VAZ models, the Lada Kalina has increased in size, which has a positive effect on the space in the cabin and the amount of luggage space in the trunk; the dimensions are noticeably larger. Note that the height, as well as the width, of the car remained unchanged, but the length increased noticeably.

It is these dimensions that now amount to 3.89 m. Let us recall that the width is 1.7 m and the length is 1.5 m. These are the dimensions of the car body. Another significant advantage of the Kalina is the ability to be equipped with an automatic transmission unit. The owners immediately appreciated this move, which allows the nimble Lada Kalina to “tolerate” city traffic jams well.

Let's touch on the body. For the practical “Russian”, the developers have provided an all-metal body frame.

The vehicle's curb weight reaches 1160 kg, and with full regulatory load it is 1560 kg. Moreover, we have already reported the dimensions of the body above, and they are not small.

We know the dimensions of the body, it’s time to talk about the dimensions of the luggage compartment Kalina now offers the owner a number of advantages. If you fold the back rows, the useful volume of space for placing cargo “grows” to 550 liters. Here, practical drivers will appreciate this solution, since they often have to transport items whose dimensions exceed the parameters of the trunk itself.

The station wagon modification has also grown significantly in size. The manufacturer has additionally equipped the roof of this body version with roof rails, which allows the owner to install an external luggage compartment for transporting large luggage.

The length of the station wagon exceeds 4 meters, which is longer in comparison with a hatchback or the same sedan. The width of the version remains unchanged - 1.7 m, which is also true for the height - 1.5 m.

Separately, we should touch upon the trunk of the station wagon, which has no competitors in the model line of all LADA Kalinas. Folding the backrests of the stern seats allows you to “increase” the volume of usable space to an incredible 670 liters for this class.

The fuel tank on the station wagon has been migrated from the sedan, which confirms the identical volume, capable of holding a maximum of 50 liters.

Dimensions value

The Kalina family is small but friendly. Some are a little bigger, some are a little smaller, but together they can make it to the parade. The body of the Lada Kalina is made in several modern modifications: sedan, hatchback, station wagon, cross and sport. Their overall dimensions do not vary much.

The width and wheelbase are the same for all, as it should be for related models. But the length, height and ground clearance are different. Accordingly, the volumes and masses are different. The history of Lada models has seen long stagnation and a period of failure. In 2004, the release of the first Kalina from the assembly line ushered in a new era. Since then, new items appear almost every season, and the ranks of owners of the most popular car in Russia are growing from year to year.

The geometric dimensions of the body are important, but no less interesting is the volume of the trunk. All Kalina models are designed to allow the rear seats to be folded forward and increase luggage compartment space. The most voluminous trunks are for the sedan, station wagon and cross: 355/670 liters. “Hatchback” and “sport” are more modest - 240/550 hp. It’s also not bad, as many city car owners will agree with.

In the ranks of Kalina there is another model - Lada Kalina City (Oka-3), made on the VAZ-1117 platform. It appeared in 2005 and for some time was considered a replacement for the Oka small car, but this assumption is incorrect. It has almost the same dimensions, height and width as other Kalinas, only the length is 3650 mm.

There is another dimensional indicator that is rarely interested in until they get stuck in a rut. At this point, some people discover the fact that the distance between the front wheels is different from the distance between the rear. This parameter is called: front and rear wheel track. For the “sedan” and “hatchback” with “station wagon” - 1430/1414 mm, for the “sport” - 1431/1432 mm and for the “cross” - 1430/1418 mm.

The difference in millimeters may not be noticeable to the eye, but it is easy to feel when a few millimeters are not enough to get out of an icy rut on a winter road. The track size turned out to be wrong.

Basic configurations of Kalina

The new Kalina is sold in 3 main trim levels:

In 2012, the price of the Lada Kalina hatchback fluctuated between 300-400 thousand rubles. A station wagon model costs no more than 410 thousand rubles. Sport can only be purchased in the “Lux” configuration. Its initial modification provides for a new on-board computer, front electric windows, central locking with remote control and an alarm system. The Kalina Luxury version has 2 front airbags, PTF, ABS, velvet seat upholstery, heated front seats, electric drive, air conditioning, navigator and other modern devices.

The Lada Kalina “Standard” has a reverse lock. The car is equipped with inertial seat belts, which can be adjusted in height if necessary. Of the main options of this model, the manufacturer identifies:

• immobilizer;
• alarm system with remote control;
• light adjustment;
• throttle valve drive, which is easily adjustable.

The car interior is spacious. The upholstery of Kalina is made of high-quality fabric. The Standard package includes a full-size spare wheel.

Lada Kalina "Lux" configuration is equipped with anti-lock brakes, climate control, steering, electric power steering, rear headrests and wheel rims on the R14. Kalina “Norma”, in addition to ABS and the climate system, has front seat airbags. The light sensor greatly simplifies driving at night. Lada Kalina is equipped with a safe parking system, audio system, PTF, moldings, alloy wheels on R14.

I was asked approximately the same question by graduates who came to see me. We saw a new car at work, word of mouth had been talking about my vehicle for a long time, we decided to ask around and, at the same time, make fun of it - in the traditional manner.

The dialogue unfolded approximately as follows:

— Did you buy a new car? - Well, I bought it. — Did you take it from the salon? — From the interior (I won’t tell everyone how and through what manipulations my vehicle came to me). - And how much did it cost? - 410 thousand. - Why so much for such a... “good” car?

Constructions

Engine 11193 is designed for installation on the Lada Kalina car of various modifications. Volume 1.6 liters and power 102 hp. Enough for this car. An in-line engine is located transversely in the engine compartment. 4 cylinders with a diameter of 82 mm consume 9.6 liters of gasoline per 100 km.

The design features include:

• frequent damage to the drive system belt, blockage of oil, fuel and air filters;
• possible defects of piston rings;
• decrease in oil pressure.

Features of motor 11193

To avoid serious consequences as a result of these malfunctions and increase the service life of the engine, it is recommended to change the belts on it after 50-65 thousand km of the vehicle.

The parts are made of high quality steel and have increased strength. To increase power by 10%, the throttle valve is equipped with an electric drive. This also ensured a reduction in exhaust gas toxicity. The valve mechanism consists of 16 valves. A block with an improved cylinder surface meets the requirements of the times. You can find it by color: block 11193 is painted gray.

If you have to sort out the unit, after removal the following are dismantled:

• pump operating in the cooling system;
• generator;
• electric starter;
• fuel system pump;
• collectors;
• camshaft belt;
• valve cover;
• flywheel;
• clutch mechanism;
• cylinder head.

Defective parts are immediately replaced. Oil seals, seals and gaskets are replaced. Assembly is carried out in reverse order. Before driving, it is necessary to inspect the main components of the car and constantly monitor the readings of technical fluid level sensors.

The engine can be installed on the tenth car model. All bosses and mounting holes of the cylinder block are suitable for this. It is not advisable to do tuning or modifications so as not to damage the engine.

A new generation is replacing

In 2022, Russian roads welcomed the new Lada-Kalina 2 model. It immediately caught the fancy of those who were passionate about VAZ products, and began to win new fans. In terms of body models, Kalina 2 is currently limited to hatchback and station wagon.

They repeat their predecessors in height 1500 mm, ground clearance 210 mm, wheelbase 2476 mm and track: rear 1414 mm / front 1431 mm.

Other dimensions are not the same. Body control dimensions show:

• “hatchback” - length 3893 mm and width 1700 mm;
• “station wagon” - 4084 mm and 1539 mm;
• The trunk volume is the same - 260/361 liters.

Nothing in the world is perfect, there will always be critics and detractors. Nevertheless, even a cursory glance at what ordinary users write, sharing their impressions without the goal of advertising anyone, confirms: “Lada-Kalina 2” is a good city car. If we add to the above such important parameters as “price - quality” and “gasoline consumption in the city”, then it can be considered one of the leaders in its market segment.

The same opinion can be heard in any “garage fraternity”, where they express themselves artlessly, but with knowledge of the matter. Popular approval has been received, as has the expectation of new models.

general characteristics

classifies Lada Kalina as a subcompact model. These cars performed excellently in urban conditions. For optimal operation, the range of external temperatures ranges from minus 40 to plus 45 degrees (Celsius). Also, to ensure that this vehicle exhibits its optimal characteristics, it must be used on paved roads.

Most Lada Kalinas are equipped with 8-valve engines. There are also versions with engines whose heads are equipped with 16-valve designs. Such motors are marked as “11194” and “11184”. Both versions of the power unit are located in the engine compartment according to a transverse arrangement. The power plants are equipped with modern distributed fuel injection systems.

The exhaust manifolds of these models have exhaust gas catalysts, which is done for the sake of the environment.

As a modern option, you can consider remote control of the central door lock and window drives. Also, as an option, a locking unit for the luggage compartment lock can be installed.

If there is a need to activate or deactivate the security system, then such an action is available in any situation. This mechanism allows you to lock all doors at once. This useful feature allows you to quickly lock yourself in your car, for example, while hiding from being chased.

Specifications

The technical characteristics of the VAZ 11193 engine are not much different from its predecessor 1118. In fact, the engines can be called identical, but differences still exist. So, let's look at the technical characteristics of the power unit.

The VAZ 11193 engine has become a logical continuation for the Kalina family, and it is also installed on the 10th generation of Lada vehicles. As you can see, the engine is quite powerful and is enough for such a small car as Kalina. If we talk about 10th generation cars, then it is quite weak.

“Luxe” package

Lada Kalina in the maximum “Lux” configuration complies with Euro-3, Euro-4 safety standards and is equipped with a 16-valve 1.6-liter unit with a capacity of 106 hp. There is also a choice of the “NFR” version with an improved 1.6 engine with a capacity of 136 hp:

• Safety: in addition to all the options of the previous trim levels, the car is equipped with ABS systems with reverse locking, ESP (electronic stability control system), TCS (traction control system with electronic control of load distribution on hydraulics), a five-speed manual transmission with a cable shift mechanism or four-speed automatic transmission, heated front mirrors with electric drive, rain sensor.
• Interior: high-quality seat upholstery (velvet, velor) with leather inserts on the doors and dashboard, standard head unit (CD+MP3+two-way audio system) with a touch screen and on-board computer functions, headrests on passenger seats, electric windows on all doors, climate control -control with outside temperature sensor, cruise control, heated front seats.
• Anti-theft system: security system with two-way communication, automatic remote start based on temperature, time, function for raising the windows after locking the doors, central locking, immobilizer, diagnostics of engine systems after the ignition is turned off.
• Exterior: moldings on the arches and front bumper, running lights and fog lights, new grille design.

When the hidden functions of the on-board computer are activated, the luxury version of Kalina has a full set of controls for all systems with the ability to install additional sensors (tire pressure, automatic light control, pre-start engine with diagnostics).

The second generation of Lada Kalina was updated with various types of gearboxes, which became available in all trim levels. Since 2013, the station wagon version has been producing an updated “Cross” modification with a robotic gearbox and increased engine power to 106 hp. The modernization also affected the suspension: in addition to the reinforced anti-roll bar of the front part, the rear axle design received a semi-independent spring type with new shock absorbers and spring mounting. In the “Luxe” configuration, all Lada cars are equipped with front ventilated disc brakes.

Exterior

The appearance of the second generation Lada Kalina remained recognizable, but received a more harmonious, attractive and modern finish. The nose of the car is decorated with a hood with characteristic ribs, and there are also stylish lighting equipment with a darkened background and a massive front bumper with an air intake “mouth” and chrome decor (top trim levels also have fog lights).

The head optics flow smoothly into the narrow strip of the radiator grille. The bumper installed in front is of a relief type with a massive air intake in the center and has fog lights along the edge, which are covered with chrome “eyelashes”. True, we must admit that an air intake of this size does not fit perfectly with the overall design of the Lada Kalina 2.

Thanks to the smoothed body corners, the aerodynamic component has been improved, which has made it possible to reduce the noise of headwinds and make travel at high speeds more comfortable. If you look at the side of the car, you can see the presence of a sloping hood, a slightly sloping roof towards the rear, large door openings and large wheel arches.

All this together allows the hatchback to have a light and moderately dynamic silhouette. The fact that there are no stampings on the side body parts is made up for by the presence of door trims, which give the appearance of the car some relief against the background of the overall smoothing of the appearance. The wheel arches turned out to be a little swollen, and thanks to the high ground clearance of the hatchback, its solidity is felt.

The rear of the Lada Kalina 2 is compact and has beautiful lights, a neat luggage compartment lid and a small bumper with a plastic cover at the bottom, which serves as a protective option. As a result, the domestic new product looks quite good and fresh, and in terms of design it matches foreign cars.

Interior

The second generation salon is distinguished by the presence of modern design and high ergonomic indicators. Also, the presence of a massive steering wheel with 3 spokes immediately catches your eye, behind which lies an informative instrument panel, which is represented by two shallow “wells” and a modest monochrome screen of the on-board computer. To the left of the steering wheel, a place was allocated for the light-amplification control unit, and under it, an inconspicuous button was installed, which is responsible for opening the luggage compartment (this decision can be called one of the most important miscalculations in terms of ergonomics).

The center console consists mainly of a color touch display of the multimedia system, which is covered with a small visor on top. A control panel for the music system was installed under it, and under it there are already 3 rotating “washers” of the air conditioning system. In general, getting into the hatchback is quite comfortable, partly due to the presence of wide-opening doors and a large doorway.

Thanks to large mirrors along with a low window sill, the car provides good visibility. You can also notice the presence of a box for small items, which was placed on a console installed in the center. We increased the volume of the glove compartment with a shelf for small items and a pen holder.

There are a pair of cup holders and a pair of niches on the lining of the floor tunnel, a handbrake lining with a folding cup holder for passengers sitting in the back, a speed change “prompt” on the LCD display of the instrument panel, a multimedia system with the Hands free option, an electric drive for the recirculation flap, new interior paint options, as well as new luggage compartment shelf supports to increase the loading opening.

The climate system, which was developed specifically for the Lada Kalina 2, looks interesting. It has become quite effective than on previous cars, and it is much quieter. There is also an “AUTO” option (not on all modifications), which can distribute air flows, change the fan speed and control the air dampers automatically.

The driver only needs to set the temperature inside the car. For the future, the company wants to equip the multimedia system with a GSM/GLONASS geonavigation module. Many systems have been introduced that are designed to increase the level of comfort in the cabin. For example, there is a steering column adjustment for tilt, electric power steering, air filtration that enters the cabin, an instrument cluster with on-board computer options, an automatic headlight and power unit system.

In general, the Kalina interior itself was assembled mainly from “hard” plastic, and the softest part is the steering wheel. In principle, there are no complaints about the assembly itself, but there are still some shortcomings that the factory could not cope with. In some places you can notice joints, and the screws are exposed and not covered with anything.

If you look at the car from the point of view of a budget hatchback, then it has comfortable seats in the front, where there is soft filling and a wide range of settings, and the amount of free space allows even tall people to sit comfortably. The sofa installed at the back is quite comfortable for a couple of people, and if particularly necessary it can accommodate three, but there will only be enough free space for two.

The legs do not rest against the backs of the seats installed in front, and there is also enough free space above the head. The luggage compartment of the 2nd generation Lada Kalina is about 260 liters. In shape, it is quite comfortable, although the wheel arches “eat up” a little free space. The rear sofa, if necessary, can be folded entirely or in parts, which will result in about 550 liters of usable volume.

For all versions of cars, a full-fledged spare wheel, a jack and a wheel wrench are included. The luggage compartment lid is equipped with an electric lock, which can only be opened using a button located to the left of the steering wheel, or in the standard way - with a key.
