Lada Largus 7 is perhaps the most functional model from the line of domestic cars, despite belonging to the small “B” class. AvtoVAZ, together with the Renault-Nissan alliance, began developing a 5-seater station wagon based on the Dacia Logan MCV prototype in 2011, and in 2012 a five-seater station wagon and a seven-seater minivan Lada Largus 7
. A review of the technical capabilities allows us to conclude that this model is the only one in the domestic market in its category that adequately performs a wide range of tasks assigned to it.
Russian price grid for all Renault cars
At Renault, everything is arranged logically. For 469 thousand you can buy a sedan with an 8-valve internal combustion engine (we are talking about a new model range). Next comes the VAZ Largus model with its price tag of half a million. Well, then there are SUVs - prices there start at 629 thousand.
The most inexpensive Lada Largus
If you make a choice between a minivan and an SUV, you need to take into account the difference in engines:
- Largus: K4M-490 (16 cells, timing belt) or 11189 (8 cells, belt);
- Duster: H4M (1.6 l, chain) or F4R (2.0 l, belt).
We also note that the assembly of H4M engines has been localized, and they are produced in Tolyatti - in the same place where the K4M internal combustion engine is assembled. F4R engines, in turn, are still imported from Spain.
All engines for Largus are produced by AvtoVAZ. This rule has been in effect since January 2016.
What is the advantage of the Comfort equipment of the Lada Largus?
Lada Largus in the Comfort configuration has, first of all, several important differences. Firstly, in this version the bumpers are painted in body color. Secondly, there are moldings on the doors. Thirdly, roof rails have appeared on the roof, which are extremely necessary for many when buying a station wagon.
In terms of safety, the car now has a front passenger airbag, which is not available in cheaper versions of the car. This car also comes with engine crankcase protection from the factory. In terms of comfort, there is power steering and air conditioning, which is practically unavailable in cheap trim levels.
