Interior of Lada Largus - comfort and convenience

LADA Largus is a joint project of AvtoVAZ and the Renault-Nissan Alliance. This car is a high-capacity station wagon and has an optimal price-quality ratio. The interior of the Lada Largus is an almost exact copy of the Renault Logan, with minor changes. For example, the steering wheel has been completely changed. The exterior is also identical to Logan. AvtoVAZ only corrected some details: the front bumper, headlights and radiator grille were changed. As for the chassis of the Lada Largus, it is an exact copy of Logan.

The interior of the Lada Largus is practically no different from the interior of the Renault Logan

Overall, Largus fully lives up to its masculine name and looks like a reliable and trustworthy car. More accurately, you can describe the appearance of the car with words such as rigor, confidence and reliability. This is simply a great family car at an affordable price. It is quite comfortable and roomy. Let's take a closer look at the interior of this vehicle.

Cabin space

Largus is quite spacious inside. The ceilings are high and even if the driver or passengers are tall, they will still be comfortable inside the car. There is a sufficient distance between the rows and even during a long journey there will be no discomfort when sitting and your legs will not become numb. The presence of space is impressive and pleasing.

Consumer reviews indicate that on a long trip, 6 people, including the driver, will feel most comfortable (meaning the seven-seat version). This is due to the fact that in the second row, during a long journey, three passengers will feel somewhat cramped, but two people will be as comfortable as possible.

Front part of the cabin

Starting to look at the interior of the Lada Largus, first of all, let's pay attention to the view opening in front of the driver and front passenger. Design solutions in this part of the cabin are not extremely innovative for AvtoVAZ, but in general they are slightly different from similar models of the Russian manufacturer.

The entire instrument panel and dashboard are very harmonious. The location of all buttons and other controls is designed correctly. Everything a driver or front passenger might need is within walking distance. A similar trend is clearly visible in the following photos of the Lada Largus interior.

Seats

The main component of a comfortable ride in a Largus car is the seats. They are almost identical to Logan's chairs and do not cause any complaints. In addition, the driver’s seat in the “Lux” configuration now has lumbar support adjustment. In addition, the driver's seat has height adjustment. All car seats have adjustable armrests.

There is enough space in the cabin for comfortable trips over long distances

If you compare the first and second rows of seats, they are at different levels (the second is higher). But thanks to the high ceilings, this does not create discomfort.

Station wagon, minivan and van - are there any differences inside the cars?

Many car enthusiasts know that the Lada Largus is available in three body styles: station wagon, minivan and van. The options do not have any special differences, except for one “but” - they have a different number of seats:

The standard station wagon has 5 seats and a medium-sized trunk (560 liters).

The extended station wagon, also known as a minivan, has 7 seats and a small trunk (170 liters).

The van has only 2 seats - one for the driver, the other for the front passenger. This Largus variation has an extended trunk (about 2000 liters), which is needed for transporting large cargo.

Apart from the number of seats, there are no differences in the interior design of all variants of the Lada Largus. The general concept of the interior is determined based on the selected configuration:

in cars with a budget set of options, the interior has an “economy class” character, featuring standard AvtoVAZ upholstery: fabric seat covers and a lot of plastic;

in models with a more “advanced” set of options, the interior is necessarily complemented by leather upholstery of the steering wheel, seats and some parts of the interior upholstery; in addition, in the interior design you can find various multimedia additions and upgraded components of standard equipment.

Decoration Materials

In general, the car interior is decorated with high-quality materials. They are not of the highest quality, but are quite consistent with the level and cost of the vehicle. Plastic, of course, leaves much to be desired and many people don’t like its smell. But you can put up with this, and the smell will disappear over time. The upholstery of the chairs is most often two-tone, pleasing to the eye and of quite high quality.

Finishing materials are not the best - but good quality

Rear cabin

Of course, the front part of the cabin of any car is more interesting to consider, since it is a kind of transport control center. Despite this, when studying the interior of the Lada Largus, it would be a crime to ignore a detailed examination of the rear of the cabin. To be fair, we note that there is something to see here too.

To begin with, let us remind you that in Largus the rear part of the cabin can be:

or 5 armchairs (three and two of them are made as separate solid sofas);
or 3 armchairs (made as a solid sofa);
or a regular luggage compartment with a large capacity.

A pleasant difference between any organization of the rear part of the interior of the Lada Largus is that it is quite spacious. Moreover, any owner of this model, if desired, can remove the rear seats and personally turn his car into a van. Photos of the Lada Largus interior with 5 seats and 7 seats illustrating this concept are presented below.

The rear seats in Largus have comfortable head pillows for passengers, integrally built into the seat frame. There are standard seat belts on the sides of each seat. The rear doors are required to have armrests. In addition, the rear part of the cabin is filled with a considerable number of pockets, cup holders and similar containers for passengers’ belongings, which is simply good news.

The specific interior design in this area of the car is also determined based on the selected configuration of the Lada Largus and is similar to the front part (see photo below).

Luggage compartment

We can say that the spacious trunk is the trump card of the Lada Largus station wagon. In the five-seater version, the luggage compartment volume is 560 liters, in the seven-seater version – 135 liters, and with the seats of the five-seater station wagon folded, it generally reaches 2350 liters. In case of maximum use of the trunk, a mesh can be stretched between the passenger and cargo compartments. For this purpose, there are lugs on the ceiling of the car.

Hinged doors can open either 180 or 90 degrees. In certain cases this makes loading much easier.

Recently, domestic manufacturers have often announced their new products, which, according to statements, will be better, larger and of higher quality than before. Here is another statement from AvtoVAZ, which is preparing a gift for us in the form of a new station wagon with increased capacity.

The model was named “Lada Largus”. For its production, the developers built a special wide base. Lada Largus of the domestic manufacturer will be produced in three possible versions. The first, five-seater car. The second, seven-seater passenger station wagon. Third, a cargo van with two passenger seats.

Car lovers are already familiar with this model; it could be seen at the Moscow exhibition in 2010. It was there that it was presented under the name “Lada Largus”, which means “generous”. Users will be able to find out how well the car will live up to its name after the serial release of the model on the country's markets.

It is worth noting that the Lada Largus has a very high similarity to the Renault Logan MCV. According to unofficial data, the project to create the car cost AvtoVAZ a tidy sum; according to sources, about 220 million were spent. Euro. If this miracle of the domestic automotive industry becomes at least a close copy of the Renault Logan MCV, then I think it will be possible to say that the money was not wasted, and the author of these lines will finally be able to be proud of the domestic manufacturer. After all, as you know, the Renault Logan MCV turned out to be extremely successful and won the sympathy of users around the world with its reliability and unpretentiousness.

Prices for Lada Largus More recently, information has appeared regarding the cost of the new product. According to data received from the manufacturer's plant, the price of the Lada Largus will range from 340 to 420 thousand rubles. The cargo version of Lada Largus will cost a little less, around 310 thousand rubles.

The package includes: the Isofix system, which allows you to place a child seat, electric windows, the ability to adjust the driver's seat, three-point seat belts, front and side airbags, a radio that allows you to work with CDs and MP3 format, ABS system, air conditioning and power steering steering wheel Not bad, right?

Now let's talk about the main difference between our Lada Largus and the above-mentioned Renault Logan MCV. So, the main difference will be the headlights, radiator grille and front bumper changed beyond recognition. The steering wheel will be completely updated and no similarities will remain. Changes will also affect the interior of the cabin, but nothing significant should be expected; a small “cosmetic repair” will be carried out. But the engine from the Renault Logan MCV will be completely transferred to the Lada Largus and will have a volume of 1.6 liters. Indeed, why change something that already works great? The manufacturer vowed that the new product will be fully ready for the harsh Russian conditions.

The appearance of the Lada Largus can be described as confident, reliable, and strict. This is facilitated by the appearance of the rear lights, the arches over the wheels, the faceted lines of the body panels and the signature, incomparable radiator grille. The car interior is spacious, roomy and incredibly comfortable. What makes me proud of this car is the volume of its trunk. Even for the five-seater version it will be 700 liters. "Lada Largus" can become not only a family car, but also a multi-purpose one due to a number of its advantages.

Now a little about the technical characteristics. The chassis was borrowed from the Renault Logan MCV, a five-speed gearbox, the automatic will have 4 steps. The maximum speed is about 167 km/h, acceleration to 100 km is 13.5 seconds.

Niches, shelves and pockets

Everything in the LADA Largus is very conveniently arranged to accommodate the little things you need on the road. The mezzanine above the second-row seats is simply perfect for placing things that are not heavy, but sometimes so necessary on the road. The doors are equipped with convenient niches and cup holders. The trunk also has pockets and mesh restraints where you can store tools, a jack, a warning triangle and a cable, as well as other things necessary on the road.

There are quite a variety of niches and shelves in the cabin

Additionally, an armrest-box can be installed between the front seats, inside which you can also transport the necessary little things: glasses, watches, mobile phones, etc.

To summarize, we can say that in the LADA Largus car everything is organized so that both the driver and passengers feel comfortable, comfortable and spacious. To make the interior of the vehicle pleasing to the eye, neutral colors and high-quality materials were used. Numerous niches, shelves and pockets allow you to have everything you might need on the road at hand, especially if it’s a long trip. Air conditioning, heated seats, three-point seat belts and power windows add comfort, convenience and coziness.

Filling Lada Largus

Two options of power units are presented to buyers: 1.6-liter and 16-valve engines with a power of 87 hp. With. and 102 l. With. There is only one gearbox: a five-speed manual, which, in principle, is enough and there is no need for a variety of gearboxes for this type of car.

Even in the most budget versions there are systems for distributing braking forces and preventing wheel locking. By the way, the brakes work perfectly, exactly as they should, stopping the movement of a massive and oversized station wagon.

Unlike its forefather Renault, the Lada Largus has a reinforced base and rolls less when cornering. Of course, the steering wheel is stiff, and the clutch and accelerator pedals do not have sufficient feedback, however, Largus was not intended to be a sports car, so you should not expect high handling performance from it.

Interior of Lada Largus according to owner reviews

Reviews of the owners of the model about it will help to perfectly summarize the review of the Lada Largus interior. Having summarized all the responses, we can confidently state that the car’s interior satisfies the desires and needs of all its owners. Of course, it is not without some shortcomings, but it still has more positive features. Regarding the latter, the owners highlight the following advantages of the Largus salon:

spaciousness;
convenient location of almost all pockets, cup holders, etc.;
comfortable organization of seats;
interior functionality;
absence of unnecessary elements.

Despite such a positive characteristic, the owners of the model often highlighted some shortcomings of its internal design. The general list of these is as follows:

not very comfortable rear door handles;
inconvenient location of some buttons (for example, the horn button);
inconvenient location of the window lifter keys.

With the exception of these shortcomings in the interior of the Lada Largus, its characteristics are positive both in terms of functionality and in terms of design solutions.

In general, the interior of the model is very similar to its prototype - Renault Logan, which has been noted more than once by experienced car enthusiasts and car experts. The main difference between the interiors of the two cars is that the Lada Largus was adapted for the Russian car market. There’s definitely nothing bad to say about the interior of the model. In general terms, it represents a fairly well-designed and high-quality interior of a small class car. We hope the material presented above was useful to you. Good luck on the roads!
