Lada XRAY Cross 2022: configurations and prices, photo of the model, owner reviews

The leading domestic manufacturer does not intend to give up the most profitable segment of the automotive market - “crossovers” - without a fight, and is going to launch the Lada XRAY 2022, which will help consolidate the success achieved.

The most popular car in Russia should be reliable and inexpensive. These are the main components of the model’s success in the domestic market. Crossovers are not the cheapest cars per se, but in the top ten bestsellers, five positions belong to them.

Despite the different price category, the formula for success in Russia for crossovers remains the same - reliability and affordable price. So far, in this regard, the Lada XRAY, as a domestically produced model, enjoys a certain credibility, despite the shortage of spare parts that arose at the beginning of sales and their unexpectedly high cost.

In 2016, XRAY sales were just gaining momentum, but at the beginning of 2017, certain conclusions can already be drawn. So far, the model occupies 8th position, behind the Renault Duster and slightly ahead of the Chevrolet Niva. Overall not bad. If this continues, then we can say that the Lada XRAY has become a successful model.

It will be very difficult to fight Lada XRAY competitors. You need to clearly understand that its success will be brighter, the greater the price difference with competing models. At the beginning of 2022, Renault Duster costs about 639,000 rubles. while XRAY starts at a price of 520,000 rubles.

Is the difference noticeable? In numbers, yes, plus the basic equipment in the Lada XRAY will be richer. We won’t list all the options; power windows, passenger airbags and driver’s seat height adjustment are sufficient.

And yet, in the first four months of 2022, 12,430 Dusters and only 9,805 XRAYs were sold, moreover, the advantage over the Chevrolet Niva is only 279 cars. The Lada XRAY is clearly missing something to win this race convincingly.

The implementation of the “Lada XRAY 2018” plan will help to find a weak point in the defense of buyers. Two modifications will be introduced to the market at once, the reaction to which will show what’s what. In 2022, we can expect the appearance of Lada XRAY Cross and Lada XRAY Sport, which will offer something more than the base model. Let's look at each of them separately.

Lada XRAY 2018 Cross

Car design for the 2022 model year

As you can guess from the name, the Lada XRAY Cross 2022 will focus on improving all-terrain qualities. All-terrain, since the model’s off-road capabilities are unlikely to ever be realized. The first thing worth mentioning is the different base of the car.

To be honest, some potential buyers were initially disappointed by the fact that the Lada XRAY is based on the Renault Sandero. I really wanted to get a compact crossover, not a mini one. XRAY Cross, albeit with a slight delay, will meet these expectations.

The base of the Cross will be similar to the Renault Duster. The difference in the dimensions of the base Lada XRAY and Duster is still significant - 4,165 mm versus 4,315 mm. Of course, ground clearance will be increased. It will be at least 205 mm.

The body design will not receive any major changes – we are talking about a modification, and not about another model. Designers will play a little with individual details, leaving the global image of the car intact. We will see a more powerful bumper and plastic protection on the fenders and doors.

The architecture and shape of the rear lights will change, they will become more complex and attractive. The headlights will be complemented by running lights made from LED elements.

Interior of the new crossover

An increased wheelbase will invariably lead to increased interior space in the vehicle. The luggage compartment will increase, which is important. The creators promise to significantly improve the quality of finishing materials. Armchairs will have another solution. Their finishing will be done using a combination of fabric and leather.

Details in the body color should add some charm to the interior. Lada XRAY Cross 2022 will receive equipment sufficient for minimal comfort. We will definitely see things like heated seats, navigation, climate control and Bluetooth. A multifunctional leather-covered steering wheel will be available, duplicating some systems.

Dimensions

Although the Lada Xray is built on the same platform as the Renault Sandero Stepway, it is larger in size. The dimensions of the X Ray are: length - 4164 millimeters, width - 1764 millimeters, height - 1570 millimeters, and the wheelbase size will reach 2592 millimeters. The Sandero Stepway hatchback is 84 millimeters shorter, seven millimeters narrower and 48 millimeters taller, and its wheelbase is three millimeters shorter.

The minimum trunk volume is 324 liters. , and with the rear seat backs folded down - 770 liters .

Lada XRAY Sport

Car design for the 2022 model year

The Lada XRAY 2022 Sport modification will remain based on the Renault Sandero. This will be the most attractive version of XRAY. A sporty body kit will make the model more interesting, lively and aggressive.

It is technically much easier to give a sporty look and behavior to any car than to provide outstanding off-road performance, so we expect the Sport modification to live up to expectations to a greater extent than from the Cross with its front-wheel drive. Distinctive features of the sport model, in addition to the body kit, will be a lowered suspension and stock 18-inch alloy wheels.

Interior of the new crossover

Everything in the interior will remain the same, with the exception of details that will indicate the sporty orientation of the car for the 2018 model year. The easiest and most popular way to do this is to use a contrasting stitch, for some reason everyone does this and AvtoVAZ decided not to stand out from the crowd, since it is very simple and cheap.

The dashboard will get a different design and maybe even a different layout. They promise sports seats and let's hope that this will also be realized, since adding lateral support is not very difficult and not very expensive.

Specifications

Under the hood of the Lada XRAY Sport we will see a 150 hp engine. With. This is not a new unit, but just a forced aspirated 1.8 liter and 122 liters. With. in stock. The transmission will be offered both manual and automatic in the form of an AMT robot. Initially it was planned to install MacPherson struts, but this, apparently, will not happen.

The suspension will definitely be different, it should be noticeably stiffer. Most likely, the development of shock absorbers will be carried out by Demfi, a traditional partner of AvtoVAZ.

Video: review, test drive

Friends, hello everyone. I also decided to add my 5 cents about this model, maybe it will help someone when purchasing) Just as such reviews helped me at one time when I was looking for a new car. I plan to constantly update the review, because I will use the car often and over long distances. A little background.

Before X-Ray, I calmly drove a right-hand drive 18-year-old Vitz. This car is generally worthy of a separate review. Fast, cheap to maintain, easy to park everywhere. Not a single bug on the car, everything works, the only breakdowns are a dead battery and waste in the form of oil, pads, etc. In short, the car is fire. But the life situation changed, a child was born, plus we moved out of town. Low ground clearance, small trunk, etc. forced us to part with Witz. Another proof of the problem-free nature of this machine, despite the fact that it was built in 2000 and is right-hand drive, I sold it in exactly one day! And at the same price that I bought it at the time. Vitz is generally a reserve currency, regardless of time, their prices are fixed)

The choice of a new car began with the rules. I didn’t want sedans, etc., I chose something like a jeep, crossover, etc. With the current duties, I couldn’t find anything I needed in a budget of 500-600 thousand. I didn’t like the Proboxes and Raktis, although they are very decent devices. The choice was made on Mitsubishi Pajero Mini and Toyota Rumion. Rumion dropped out due to low ground clearance, these are again the same problems that we had with Witz. Mini also refused Pajero. High consumption, expensive spare parts, CVT, which is not nearly as reliable as an automatic. And the final price, taking into account the button, was 650 thousand. Well, in these simple ways I reached X-Ray. I sat and looked and liked the car. The final price tag turned out to be 750 thousand. 1.8 l, AMT, Puma color (I’ll upload photos later). The equipment is almost complete, with the exception of parking sensors, they are outrageously expensive from the officials.

Start of sales

Xray production started on December 15, 2015, and sales began on December 14, 2016 in 56 cities with 120 dealers. In the spring, the cars arrived at other dealers. On the day of the start of sales – February 14 – a promotion called X-day was held at dealership centers in Russia. The price for the Lada Xray in the basic configuration starts at 599.9 thousand rubles.

In total, the production of 20 thousand hatchbacks is planned for 2016. Previously, AvtoVAZ announced a figure many times higher, but due to fears of the Renault-Nissan concern about the competition of the X-Ray with the Sandero Stepway, they lowered the production plan.

Exterior

It is quite difficult to say that the new model has received a fundamentally new body. It is immediately worth noting that the restyling in the updated versions touched exclusively on unsuccessful moments that appeared in the past, and visually the domestic crossover began to look even more stylish and presentable.

If you look at the photo of the front of the car, you will notice a slight modification to the radiator grille, which has two ribs, between which is the AvtoVAZ brand badge. The spectacular front optics remain the same. The bumper has become more powerful and massive, which meets the latest trends in the crossover class.

Interior

Inside, the Lada XRAY 2022 looks good and evokes purely positive emotions. For finishing, the materials used were not the most expensive, but of good quality. The seats are equipped with heating, an automatic adjustment system, and a modern climate control system. The center console features a large and bright touchscreen display that allows you to easily control all multimedia functions. It also contains several necessary buttons and handles.

The dashboard is quite solid and informative. The steering wheel is upholstered in leather and has several buttons. It fits very well in the driver's hands; drivers note its responsiveness.

We can also talk about an interesting solution related to the color scheme of the interior. Several inserts were added, painted in the colors of the body, which looks bright and unusual.

The Sport version received a fundamentally different design. It is much darker, with metal elements and specially rough stitched fabric inserts. The seats in this version are new, sporty, with additional lateral support, and more rigid.

Specifications

In technical terms, the Lada X-Ray 2022 will receive several power plant options. In the Cross version, the crossover will be equipped with gasoline engines with a volume of 1.6 and 1.8 liters and producing power of 114 and 123 hp. respectively. The more charged Sport version will now receive a 1.8-liter unit with a power of as much as 150 hp. Despite the wishes of many customers, AvtoVAZ will continue to produce cars exclusively with front-wheel drive for now. The gearbox, depending on desire, can be manual or automatic.

Due to the fairly low weight of the model, these engines are enough to demonstrate excellent performance on any road and satisfy any, even a very picky buyer.

Options and prices

The new Lada X-Ray 2022 model year will receive two main configurations, called Cross and Sport. Moreover, in terms of equipment they will clearly stand out among all cars in this price category. The crossover will receive high-quality air conditioning, a heated front seat system, an excellent built-in navigator, several airbags and a good audio system, not to mention many little things, like heated mirrors and windows, the presence of electric windows, etc.

The Sport version will receive a more charged engine, a new braking system and a sports suspension, as a result of which its dynamic characteristics will look very good compared to its classmates.

The minimum price for which you can purchase a crossover is 510 thousand rubles.

Reviews

Overall model rating

I bought a Lada Xray Cross on Kashirka on credit on May 1st. On the morning of the same day there was an unsuccessful attempt to purchase at Warsaw, they fundamentally disagreed on the matter.

So I decided to share my impressions. The first time I came to the car dealership almost a month ago, at the entrance to the salon I was greeted by a very polite girl.

I bought a Lada Xray Cross on Kashirka on credit on May 1st. In the morning of the same day there was an unsuccessful attempt to purchase at Warsaw, where they fundamentally disagreed on the quality of the new car. So I called a couple of other salons, incl. this. Manager Oleg Shek called me back and said that there were no cars in my configuration, but he had already ordered from the central warehouse, he would arrive in 2 hours, just when I got there. The conversation was much longer, because I really didn’t want to wait for the car, but in the end he said that the car alarm would be free, this convinced me, I came there. The car was transported for longer than 2 hours, and in addition to the signaling, there were also unnecessary extras, but they still cost less than the signaling, so the cost was even a little cheaper than in the previous salon. This car was already normal, I didn’t find any problems with it, we spent the rest of the day completing the paperwork. The registration process was very long, especially at the last stage, before the issuance of the title. Washed, inspected, polished and got insurance pretty quickly, the loan lasted longer. I found inaccuracies in the documents once or twice, incl. in the passport data were redone, this also delayed the process. In general, the impression was good, once again special thanks to Oleg. I was the last one to leave in a new car at 8:30 p.m., although the salon is open until 8:00 p.m., people sat and completed all the paperwork for me.

So I decided to share my impressions. For the first time I came to the car dealership almost a month ago, at the entrance to the salon I was greeted by a very polite girl who took me to the manager Ramal, who advised me on one car and in the end I was interested in a completely different car - Lada X Ray cross ., after talking with Ramal, I took his business card and left my phone number. I would like to note that before arriving at Kashirskoye sh. 41, I was also in other salons and talked with other managers, who, in turn, intrusively called every day and offered services of choice Auto Unlike Ramal, well, that day came, November 23, 2018, I arrived at the salon on Kashira Highway 41 and when we approached Ramal, we discussed everything that interests me, all the additional options, etc., in general, it’s nice to talk with Ramal, he told me everything in detail , answered all my questions and, most importantly, unobtrusively, somehow in a friendly way, one might even say so. Since it was already evening, we agreed to purchase the next day and today, having arrived at the appointed time, I had to wait and within an hour I was already outside the gates of the car dealership with documents on the car. Once again, many thanks to such a good, patient specialist Ramal. And also thanks to the managers for such an excellent employee. If any of my friends contact me, I will recommend Ramala.

One of the most anticipated new products from AvtoVAZ was the off-road version of the company’s first crossover – X-Ray. Previously, the car performed normally only on paved roads; when leaving the highway, the car simply stopped. Restyling will somewhat improve this situation. The new model differs from the regular version by increased ground clearance and the presence of protective elements.

The performance will also improve slightly, and it will be possible to select a driving mode. Of course, the Lada X-Ray Cross 2022 is still not an SUV, but now you can easily drive it over rough terrain.

Reviews from Lada XRAY Cross owners

The car is just fire! It was purchased in February 2022. The whole family fell in love with the car at first sight. There is no disappointment from the Russian automobile industry. Equipment Comfort.

It was a good car, the only thing that began to bother me at the end of its operation was the interior, which began to creak and rattle with such force that it was no longer covered by the music, it was very annoying. I chose a crossover, hoping that the new car would allow me to drive comfortably for at least the first couple of years. It didn’t come true) Ladovsky plastic did not pass the tests even in the first winter.

The new Lada XRAY Cross is a good city car. But it also behaves decently on the highway, we drove it to the Black Sea coast, 3,000 km there back - comfortable and economical, although there was not much space, 4 people drove, everyone fit in and did not complain), along the highway at 120-130 km / h and the climate control is turned on, the car behaves adequately and does not stall. Very obedient car!

It's beautiful inside and out, now it's definitely a hatchback. The suspension and steering are clear. Now only electric power steering, cheaper, simpler and more reliable. High ground clearance. Comfortable heated steering wheel and seats.
