Asceticism
The main and most trivial shortcoming of Largus is his deliberate asceticism. The interior has not changed a bit since the first generation Renault Logan. The list of options contains only the required minimum, although now more buyers want to add some extras to it, such as additional heating, advanced multimedia, and electric assistants. Largus is only able to offer heated front seats, a single-din radio, ABS and rear parking sensors. There are only two airbags, the air conditioning is manually controlled.
From the outside, LADA Largus looks more like a slightly improved truck than a civilian passenger car. The situation is partly helped by the body kit of the Cross version. The long-promised automatic transmission also never appeared, as did the 1.8 engine. Commercial versions have no use for them, but many people buy Largus as a home station wagon and drive it to work every day. There are also a lot of mistakes in terms of ergonomics. If AVTOVAZ corrected at least some of these problems, the popularity of the car would immediately increase. Let's see what the future restyling will bring to Largus.
By the way, Largus also works in the ZR editorial office.
You can use it, as well as any other editorial car in our

HOW TO FOLD THE REAR SEATS TO CREATE A BED (FLAT FLOOR)
I offer a convenient option for transforming the interior of a seven-seater Largus. Fold the backrests of the second row seats and raise the cushion until the back of the backrest is in a horizontal position. We fix this position using, for example, a rolled up jacket or blanket.
We do the same with the third row. We fill the space between the seats and the trunk with belongings. If there are not enough things, cover the gap between the rows with a sheet of plywood measuring 500x700x6 mm. The length of the berth is maximized, and there is no need to shift luggage if you need to change your place of overnight stay. (D. Razuvaev, Behind the Wheel)

Advantages of the rear row of seats
1. Comfortable seating thanks to the square door opening and high roof.
2. The additional seats in the trunk are surprisingly spacious and will comfortably accommodate two adult passengers with a height of 180 cm. Usually in 7-seater station wagons there is a 3rd row of seats for children, but in the Lada Largus this is not the case. See the interior dimensions of the Lada Largus.
3. Availability of amenities. For third-row passengers, the Lada Largus cabin has individual air ducts (running along the floor), a cup holder, a net for bottles and other things, as well as ventilation windows.
Flaws
1. When using a seat belt for the middle passenger of the 2nd row of seats, the strap passing from the rear of the cabin will interfere with the passenger of the 3rd row.
2. When using the 3rd row of seats, the trunk space of the Lada Largus is reduced to 135 liters.
pros and one big minus of Lada Largus
A phenomenal situation has developed on the Russian market. Most families can afford one car (in the best case scenario!). A station wagon would be perfect for them, but they don’t actually offer it. The only exception is LADA, but immediately with 3 models: Kalina, Largus and Vesta SW. The first one is frankly small, the second one costs a lot and is only gaining momentum in the market. But Largus has been earning a reputation since 2012. The lack of restyling (we expect it at the end of August) does not prevent the model from taking eighth place in sales statistics. Moreover, since the beginning of the year, demand for the car has increased by more than 70%! There are several components of success.
Removing and installing seats
REMOVAL OF THE FRONT SEAT (RIGHT OR LEFT)
Move the seat to the rearmost position.
Unscrew two bolts 1, Figure 9-1, of the front fastening of the slide to the body (Torx T30 head).

Unscrew two bolts 2 of the rear mounting of the slide to the body (Torx T30 head).
Raise the seat and disconnect the wiring harness holder from the seat frame.
Disconnect the seat heating wiring harness connector.
Remove the front seat and slide assembly.
REMOVAL OF THE REAR SEAT (SECOND ROW SEATS)
The rear seats of the second row (middle row) can be removed individually.

Ilya Khlebushkin has at his disposal Largus from among the first two dozen assembled cars
A VAZ boat is moored on the familiar Logan steering wheel, and the distant third-row seats and swinging trunk doors are reflected in the rearview mirror. This is not a joke, but the long-awaited seven-seater Lada Largus station wagon! Or rather, Dacia Logan MCV.
Past the Volzhsky plant
I don't joke around:
I’ll remember Priora to them,
Then I’ll show them Logan.
Ditty
At my disposal is a Largus from among the first two dozen cars that were assembled on April 4, the day Vladimir Putin blessed the launch of production. Special assembly? No, the cars from the pilot batch are no different from the production ones - for the first time in the history of AvtoVAZ, they did without the use of bypass technologies. Probably, since the days of the Fiat “penny”, this is the first VAZ car that entered the assembly line immediately with all the standard components.
The center console has a new finish, slightly changed shape of the buttons and Daewoo “music” instead of Blaupunkt
The front seats have continuously variable backrest tilt adjustment, and in the Luxury version, they have adjustable lumbar support and cushion height
The seat belt reel for the middle seat of the second row is mounted on the roof, and the belt itself looms between the heads of the rear row passengers. Positioning the reel on the seat itself is hampered by its insufficient strength
0 / 0
By the way, the more than three-year wait for Largus is also explained by the long selection of component manufacturers. Why doesn't AvtoVAZ copy the list of suppliers that supply Avtoframos with parts? Because they decided to look for suppliers as close to Tolyatti as possible - logistics are cheaper this way. But production of Largus started immediately with a 50% localization level - this is only slightly lower than now at Avtoframos (60%). And our immediate plans include conquering the 72 percent milestone! True, this will happen closer to 2014, not before the start of assembly of a manual transmission and one of the two 1600 cc engines - the sixteen-valve K4M (for now it is being imported from Spain, and the simpler eight-valve K7M - from Romania).
Appliances - new finish
There is a windshield wiper only on the left tailgate flap, and with the third row of seats in the rear windows almost nothing is visible

Are there any differences from the “original” - the Romanian Dacia MCV produced since 2006? Eat. Largus is, rather, a modified Russian Logan with a station wagon body. Before the start of production, VAZ carried out endurance tests - not accelerated ones, as we do in Autoreview, but long, 180-thousandth tests, on a training ground and on ordinary roads up to the Caucasian mountain serpentines, with towing a trailer and laboratory work. And we found something to improve.
Firstly, the Largus' steering knuckles now have dirt-protecting covers (we were convinced of the poor protection of wheel bearings from dust and sand during our life test of the Renault Sandero), and in the basic Standard version without an anti-lock braking system, the empty spaces for ABS sensors are closed for the same purpose plugs. Secondly, Largus has reinforced front suspension arms, stamped from a sheet with a thickness of not 2.5 mm, but 3 mm (initially, these were installed only on Dacia Logan cars with van and pickup bodies). By the way, note to the owners of Sandero and Logan: nothing prevents the implementation of “reverse unification”.
With the handle located on the side of the seat, it is more convenient to adjust the height, but finding the heating button has become even more problematic
The passage to the third row is wide, but the floor here is high due to the gas tank located under it
0 / 0
The Largus also increased its ground clearance by 20 mm compared to the Logan - and expanded the “waterline” of the anti-gravel coating by 70 mm, improving protection against “sandblasting” (now the sills are also protected on the sides). The front wheel arches received standard mudguards, and the rear wheel arches received plastic flange protection. The front bumper has hardly changed in appearance, but the clamps of the lower grille have been strengthened (by the way, on the Duster undergoing our life tests, it constantly “unfastens” due to shaking), and on the cheaper fog lights from Granta implanted into the bumper, during our test drive Largus managed AvtoVAZ itself also saved money - one of the cars got a black eye from a stone flying from the road.
The first thought in the cabin of the new Largus: there is no smell of Lada here, literally or figuratively! But there is also no smell familiar from Logans, Sanderos and Dusters - the materials are different. And the second thought - how much free space there is! It is not for nothing that “Largus” is translated not only as “generous”, but also as “extensive”. Exactly.
The space above your head is almost like in the Renault Kangoo, the back is freer than in the Logan, and the gallery is a completely different matter: in the 560-liter trunk, a couple of bags look lonely. With the middle row folded, the luggage compartment volume is 2.5 cubic meters!
The exposed panel joint and the “bare” heating contacts on the tailgate look very rough
The rear hinged doors are of unequal width - like on a delivery van. Using a convenient handle, you can release the lock and open the doors 180 degrees.
0 / 0
The third row of passengers can accommodate even tall adults! True, the seating position here is low and not very comfortable - the floor of the body is high, making it difficult to climb back, and you can’t fit your feet under the middle row seat. In my opinion, the VAZ team, having seated Largus in the third row of their old parents in the third row, got carried away... There are no amenities in the back, except for a couple of recesses-cup holders in the side panels and slightly opening windows, but the seven-seater versions have an air duct under the middle row of seats - without it in In our cold weather, the passengers sitting in the “trunk” would quickly become numb.
It’s a pity that the air duct was the only serious result of working on the bugs in the cabin. Unfortunate angle of the center console with low climate control knobs, inconveniently placed power window buttons in different places and a horn button on the top of the left steering column lever... Everything is Logan's! And the nicer overlays on the instruments and center console and the more advanced Daewoo “music” with Bluetooth and USB (functionally similar, but with a different front panel is installed on the Duster) are not enough - the translation of the name as “rich” does not suit Largus categorically.
The front seats have sloppy padding, the plastic door sill trim is not aligned smoothly, and the door seal is not fastened, the plastic container in the trunk of the five-seater (the seven-seat version has a mesh pocket) has a very sharp leading edge, and the handles of the radio do not hold on too tightly... Let's hope , these are the nuances of the pilot episode

But during the day at the VAZ test site and five hundred kilometers across the Zhiguli Mountains and Samarskaya Luka, I managed to understand that Largus is still more comfortable than Logan: for example, thanks to different front seats with a more convenient “elevator” handle on the side of the pillow. There is a smooth, rather than stepwise, adjustment of the backrest tilt, and most importantly, variable lumbar support (chairs of this design are installed on all Iranian, but for some reason not on Russian Logans).
The rear side windows open slightly only on the seven-seater version
Lada? Or Renault?

Largus’s character is like that of a two-faced Janus. It depends a lot on the load. A light 105-horsepower engine is at least enough - if you really want to, you can play around with it. But it shakes quite a lot, especially in the gallery, and on a “washboard” road, the suspension with the stiffest springs for the “general Logan” B0 platform brings the body to a nervous, resonant shudder.
Mikhail Ryabov, director of the Cars on the B0 platform project, himself drives a Largus in one of the development batches: “I like the car - it’s nice to drive on the roads, and you can go fishing with friends. What’s also pleasing is that we accomplished the main task - keeping the car in the affordable price range in which we planned.”
I call six fellow travelers, and Largus instantly transforms: the smoothness of the ride becomes almost limousine-like, with the excellent energy intensity of the suspension remaining above suspicion. But what a sad ride! Even the more powerful sixteen-valve engine goes sour. On the test track road I try to simulate overtaking at a speed of about a hundred. I press the gas pedal to the floor in fifth gear - zero response, switch down to fourth - the same picture, switch to third - there is a lot of noise, but little sense. Eh, a two-liter engine or a 1500 cc diesel, like in Europe, would be here, but this topic, alas, is closed: expensive.
The extra headroom allowed us to place a spacious shelf above the middle row
Nonsense! Unlike Logan and Sandero, Lada is prescribed gasoline with a minimum octane rating of not 92, but 95
0 / 0
But the chassis, even though it comes from the nineties, will give a head start to many more recent designs. With a “carriage” base of 2900 mm, only a blast wave can knock Largus off the chosen path even at a maximum of 165 km/h - there is no yaw or vertical swing. Even on a completely broken road and mediocre Amtel tires, the grip is what you need! And when cornering, I never regretted the absence of a stabilization system: the Largus can only be pulled into a skid by hooligan actions with the handbrake, and if you frankly go too far with the speed, the newly made Lada slides outward with all four wheels.
The front suspension has reinforced arms and improved wheel bearing protection from dirt.
The spare tire hangs under the floor and is always dirty, but when replacing it, you don’t need to unload the trunk and put the dirty wheel inside
0 / 0
This would include an even clearer gear shift mechanism (the appearance of an “automatic” is still a big question mark - and again because of the high cost)... As on the Logan, the gearbox lever is like jelly in the way.
You'll have to get used to it: taking into account the restyling already planned in five years, Largus will live on the assembly line until 2023! I don’t know how it will be in ten years, but for now I regret more that this Lada did not appear with us earlier - today it is the best car of the domestic brand! And a bargain. From July 1, Largus will begin to be sold at prices ranging from 349 thousand rubles for the basic five-seater version to 450 thousand rubles for the seven-seater Luxury - and I am ready to recommend this Lada to my friends in the same way as I previously recommended Renault Logan or Sandero. If only AvtoVAZ made it no less efficiently than Renault. Can he handle it?
Even with the third row of seats, there is a lot of space left in the trunk of the Largus. And with the second row folded - two and a half cubic meters of free volume!

The best all-rounder for the price
This argument became decisive in the choice for most buyers.
“Show me at least one more car that has seven seats, with a full third row, with a cabin volume that is already 250 liters more than the new Kia Sorento! There is no such thing. The closest car is a Skoda Kodiaq, but it is more than twice as expensive.”
, says the owner with the nickname ikuyanov from Ulyanovsk. He purchased a restyled model of the seven-seat Largus station wagon to replace the 2014 Largus (full review here).
A car enthusiast with the nickname 9234310 from Ufa, who drove 4000 km in Largus Cross FL, agrees with him. In his opinion, the main advantages of the car are “a huge trunk and versatility” (full review here).
“True, for small loads in the trunk there are not enough fastening nets, straps, and pockets. If you get into potholes at speed, you’ll collect small things all over the cabin.”
, - Vasily from Khabarovsk adds a fly in the ointment (full review here).
Reliability
The myth that a foreign car cannot be adapted to harsh Russian conditions better than eternal Russian cars was dispelled first by the Renault Logan, and then by its derivative LADA Largus. This car is truly very reliable and durable. Examples of operation in taxis and the commercial sector are the clearest confirmation of this. B0 platform units are undemanding, their design has been tested for years.
Replacing French engines with VAZ ones only added advantages to the model. They turned out to be no worse in terms of resource, but at the same time stronger, more “instant” and more economical. In addition, an increase in the percentage of localization helped to curb price increases.
Editorial Largus, working in ZR since 2012, was no exception to the rule. Over more than 120,000 km of mileage, it required minor unscheduled interventions, and they turned out to be uncritical and non-disastrous.
Comfortable seats, but... not a good fit
Most owners praise the seats and interior of the restyled version. If only we could add reach-adjustable steering wheel!
The seats “have at least some lateral support; the seats in the previous Largus were simply terrible. Now they have three-stage heating"
, writes ikuyanov from Ulyanovsk.
“In addition, the seats are made of some kind of more insulating material, which makes it seem as if it is warmer to sit in them,”
— car enthusiast Pavel Novikov agrees (full review here).
“But without adjusting the steering wheel for reach, it’s not easy to get more or less comfortable.”
, - Alexander from St. Petersburg is dissatisfied.
Suspension is “omnivorous”, but too soft
Car owners say they need to get used to it.
“The suspension allows you not to brake before every hole, but, if necessary, to stomp on a broken road,”
— Vasily from Khabarovsk is pleased.
“Yes, it just swallows holes, bumps and potholes. But on the road the car floats and you have to constantly catch it. And in a rut it completely throws you, you have to be extremely careful.”
, warns Alexander from St. Petersburg.
The chassis of the new Largus was transferred from its predecessor without significant changes. This means that all the features of the station wagon’s behavior on the road have also been transferred.

The stove and air conditioner are rather weak
“The air conditioner does not cool very well in extreme heat.
“, the owner with the nickname 9234310 from Ufa was convinced.
“The stove doesn’t heat up: when you stand, it’s warm, but as soon as you get on the road, that’s it. It's blowing 20 degrees in total, but outside it's 15, i.e. at -30 it won’t heat up at all! Immediately my knees are freezing.”
, writes Alexander Shcheklein in the comments of the Largus Club VKontakte post.
Another Alexander, a car enthusiast from St. Petersburg, agrees with him: “The stove is not enough to heat the entire volume of the station wagon. In cold weather, the side windows quickly freeze, and some drafts appear on the highway.”
.
But everyone is pleased with the heated windshield that has appeared in the updated Largus. “Now you won’t have to scratch the glass on a frosty morning, like I did at the last Largus.”
, writes the owner with the nickname ikuyanov from Ulyanovsk.
It's a shame to put such boxes on modern cars!
This is what the owner with the nickname 9234310 from Ufa thinks after driving a Largus Cross FL for 4000 km.
“The manual gearbox is simply oak, as soon as I left the cabin, first gear slipped out several times, as if everything had not yet gotten used to it and something was crunching. Compared to Logan, the gears here are shorter and you have to change more often. More often you have to drive in first gear.”
The howl of the gearbox is also annoying,
“at first and second speeds it can be heard in the cabin.
The problem has been around for so many years, but AVTOVAZ cannot solve it.” But car enthusiasts appreciated the dynamics of the car. Pavel Novikov writes: “ The engine is nimble, it’s enough for the city, and on the highway the car feels like a fish in water. There’s always enough dynamics for overtaking.”
Interesting modifications
The former head of AVTOVAZ, Bo Andersson, caught the fashion for pseudo-crossovers and gave instructions to quickly prepare new products. As a result, the “urban” LADA 4x4 Urban, Cross versions of Kalina and Largus were immediately born. The latter received an increase in ground clearance from 145 to 170 mm, a comfortable body kit made of unpainted plastic and unusual interior decoration. As a passenger car, the Largus looks ugly, but the “off-road” decor has noticeably improved it. Why were there so many people willing to pay extra for it? Buyers also liked the opportunity to get a car with a fiery orange interior.
Let's work it out ourselves!
“Mud flaps must be installed, otherwise the side of the car will quickly be covered with mud. And I will definitely install full-fledged rear lights, with them the car looks better, more visible in the dark and fog, and this is important for safety.”
, plans a car owner with the nickname ikuyanov from Ulyanovsk.
Many are upset by the savings on convenient little things. There are no grab handles above the third row of seats, no cup holder on the right side, and no magnet to hold the second-row middle passenger's belt in place.
“Now there is no mesh pocket on the right trunk door of Largus, and there is no handle for opening the left trunk door from the inside. Why this was removed is unclear.”
, — the same ikuyanov complains.
Capacity
The station wagon, built on the basis of the first-generation Renault Logan, formally belongs to the B-class. But you can't tell by the dimensions. Some people also consider the Lada Vesta SW to be an overgrowth of sector B, while the Largus is 60 mm longer than the Vesta and by as much as 270 mm in wheelbase! It’s clear now how, with more than enough space in the second row of seats in the car, there was also room for a trunk of record volume. With a five-seat cabin configuration, it holds 560 liters, with a two-seat configuration - 2350 liters.
Even when there are seven people in the cabin, there is 135 liters left for their luggage. Not significant, but still a very respectable indicator. Moreover, Largus is not limited to an ordinary trunk. Thanks to the high ceiling above the second row of seats, the designers added a capacious shelf. She is also ready to accept some things. Let's not forget that the package includes roof rails. This means that the cargo can also be placed on the top trunk.
