The improved Lada X Ray has been eagerly awaited in the country's domestic market since 2016, when a technical update of the future car was announced, which is an upgrade version of the Lada Xray, which rolled off the production lines six years ago.
The updated car is equipped with 4x4 all-wheel drive and a higher base, so it can safely be classified as a crossover type of car. Thanks to enhanced adjustments to existing technical characteristics, the new version will delight customers with an internal and external exterior that is noticeably different from the original.
Start of production of a new model
The light novelty today is in a borderline state, when the finished project is being transferred to conveyor shops. Tolyatti official sources have set the release date for the updated model - the end of 2022.

The first show took place two years ago. During this time, the manufacturer managed to bring the modernization to fruition, giving the car a thoughtful and solid shape. The update process turned out to be slightly drawn out compared to competitive releases of cars with similar characteristics. However, for the Russian model of the “compact high hatchback” class, the proverb “hurry slowly” is good.

Start of sales on the domestic market
Official representatives of the AvtoVAZ concern promise to “put on wheels” at least 10 thousand modernized crossovers. However, the exact release date remains a secret.

For now, potential customers only hear rumors that sales of the expected model could start as early as December of this year.

The lucky owners of the modified all-terrain vehicle from the first batch will first be Muscovites, then it will be available throughout Russia within the basic configuration.
In the niche of budget all-terrain vehicles, the closest rival of the domestic “jeep” is the Kia Rio X-Line, which is similar in the location of units and hubs.
Interior, engine and wheels
The trunk size in the standard seat position is 361 liters. You will be a little more pleased with its maximum volume: 1514 liters. Freight transport can be carried out on this crossover. In this case, you will need to fold all the seats, including the passenger seat, at the will of the driver. If you limit yourself to only the second row of seats, then you will have to be content with 1207 liters.
Considering the focus of the Lada X-Ray Cross towards increasing cross-country ability, the trunk looks quite decent. For most city residents, 361 liters is enough for trips to the store and to work. It’s a different matter for rural residents seeking to purchase transport for transporting vegetables – LADA XRAY Cross is a slightly different type of transport.
Wheel size: 215/50 R17 (91, H). Given the wide arches, the wheels on the R17 look consistent with the crossover. Most drivers don't even need to try to accommodate larger wheels, which may seem like overkill. This is the case when your car leaves the factory without flaws in the exterior, where every element has already been thought out.
From the front wheels to the edge of the body 835 mm. The rear ones will show 744 mm. With this wheel arrangement, the crossover feels good on the highway. The driver will not feel any risky rolls when cornering.
The wheel size for the ground clearance of 215 mm is chosen perfectly. This combination allows the car to be loaded up to 1650 kg. At the same time, relatively good ground clearance will be maintained for overcoming major potholes on completely new asphalt. Tank capacity 50 l.
Xray Cross car configurations
The manufacturer announced the release of one component base, with a possible division into two conditional groups.

The client will be able to select and add the additional functions he needs. For example, you have a choice: use a standard 5-speed manual or a 5-speed VAZ robot made on the basis of a manual gearbox.
Additional equipment also includes various options:
• heating; • electrical adjustments; • audio system.
Is the crossover suspension reliable?
The design bureau did not use untested solutions in terms of suspension construction. As a basic basis, experts chose components and assemblies from the famous Renault Sandero. This type of chassis is characterized by great reliability and good comfort when driving on bad roads. The average resource of suspension units is about 100 - 120 thousand kilometers.
Depending on the operating mode, the car can be equipped with reinforced levers and shock absorbers with adjustable stiffness. The main feature of this suspension is its great practicality and repairability. After all, many branded spare parts are produced for the Renault Sandero base. According to the technical requirements, the foreign-developed suspension fully complies with the characteristics of the car. Additionally, domestic engineers made a number of design changes, which increased the overall level of reliability when operating on Russian roads.

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.
Instead of a total
Xray Cross turned out to be a good car, but not without cockroaches. However, in any case, it is better than regular Xray, journalists note.

Conclusions from qualified experts
The Lada X Ray turned out to be a fairly successful crossover in its class. The suspension ranks first in terms of comfort among all domestic cars. With proper operation and timely maintenance, working units can last more than 100 thousand kilometers without urgent replacement. Lada X Ray, like any other car, requires mandatory attention. During operation, it is important to monitor the condition of the working suspension components. If there are any signs of malfunction, it is better to contact the service.
The main signs of a suspension malfunction on the X Ray:
- Deterioration in handling at speed (front axle drift when turning).
- The occurrence of vibrations on a flat section of the road.
- Extraneous knocks and noise.
- Heavy wear on front tires.
- Arbitrary change in direction of movement.
If any inconsistencies or malfunctions in the operation of the suspension on the X Ray are detected, it is important to immediately contact a car service. After all, any breakdown negatively affects the overall comfort and quality of movement by car. In addition, malfunctions reduce the level of safety. In general, the crossover is a multi-purpose vehicle with acceptable parameters for daily use, which is suitable for city and country driving on rough terrain. The car is well adapted to Russian roads and the quality of domestic service.
Minuses
2. AvtoVAZ claims a ground clearance of 215 mm, but in fact there are parts that are located slightly lower.
3. The rear sofa was moved back by 2-3 cm, but the backrest fastening remained in the same place, as a result the landing became more vertical
4. Play in the steering column itself (apparently due to the fact that reach adjustment has appeared).
5. Ergonomics and quality suffer in small ways: for example, the buttons for turning on the three-stage heated seats: you need to reach for them, and the buttons themselves are “cotton.”
6. Journalists note some noise in some cars when listening to radio and music: the noise increases with engine speed.
7. Electric power steering is not the best solution: in a parking lot it too clearly returns the steering wheel to “zero”, and at high speed, on the contrary, there is some kind of excessive lightness.
8. The 1.8-liter engine is still quite noisy.
9. Sixth gear is missing: 120 km/h in fifth gear already gives 3500 rpm.
10. Consumption: for journalists, consumption in mixed mode did not fall below 10 liters, and in the city the on-board computer showed 16 liters.
11. The new dial for selecting ESP operating modes is in many ways useless: the same “snow” mode allows a lot of slipping, even more than the standard one. Those. Basic mode is more useful than all others in most situations.
