Lada C-Cross: new from Avtovaz - Russian SUV, which became famous

Lada C-Cross is a car that is a joint development of our JSC AtovoZAZ, as well as a Canadian company called Magna International, which provides for a series of machines of this project.

About the premiere

A presentation of a model such as Lada C-Cross took place in 2008. The event was held at the International Motor Show in Moscow. This car combines the qualities of an SUV and the advantages of an ordinary city comfortable car. The model is rather compact. Its dimensions are very modest - 4410 mm in length, 1812 mm in width, and also in 1557 mm in height. The curb weight of this machine is 1370 kilograms. The trunk can not be called too spacious - 350 liters.

But the car is spacious from the inside (for passengers), comfortable and very dynamic. Such a machine is excellent for our, Russian roads. And while this model has good characteristics, allowing it to easily cope with the roads. This quality was provided by short overhangs, a solid ground clearance and large 18-inch wheels, which provide excellent geometric cross-country ability. In general, this car immediately shows that it was created by Russian developers specifically for the roads of our powerful Federation.

New Year 2015

At the end of June last year, 2014, the Russian "AvtoVAZ" finally opened the main information concerning the new representative of the C-Cross class. The general public saw the car Lada C-Cross in August last year. The all-weather station wagon, differing in appearance of an off-road car, was published in the same autumn.

The main feature, which was noticed by all and at once, is the increased ground clearance. Ground clearance brought to 18 centimeters! This was achieved thanks to the installation of 15-inch wheels, as well as reconfiguring the suspension. In addition, the new VAZ SUV has received a protective body kit from plastic, other bumpers, an improved radiator grille, large moldings and a factory underbody protection.

Transformed Interior

Some changes have also affected the salon. Interior is a very important part of any car. "Lada" is an SUV that is not comfortable or particularly attractive by stereotypes. However, looking inside the salon, you can be sure that this is really only a prejudice. Inside, everything is done pretty stylish and attractive. The developers have tried to create an atmosphere of coziness and comfort.

So, in the novelty there were catchy changes. Though not very big. Now, potential buyers are offered several different design options with bright original color inserts. The choice is either yellow or orange. These inserts now form the door panels and the central, steering wheel. Also, a certain part of the upholstery of the seats is made up for their color. More developers have made a promise to work more carefully on the level of noise insulation. Still, it is imperfect, and it is worth it to refine to a more acceptable level. It's an off-road car.

Specifications

So, the car Lada C-Cross, the price for which starts from the amount approaching half a million rubles, can be completed with one of the two proposed options for power plants. The "younger" is a in-line 4-cylinder engine running on gasoline. Its volume is 1.6 liters. 8 valves, timing, plus all - distributed fuel injection. This motor can develop a horsepower of 87 horsepower. This power unit operates under the control of a 5-speed manual transmission. This model accelerates to "hundred" in 12.7 seconds. The maximum speed, which is available for this all-terrain vehicle, is 165 km / h. It is expected that in a mixed cycle the machine will not spend more than seven liters of fuel. This is its plus. The developers tried to create a car that almost every second citizen of our country could afford. Also counted on its profitability.

A "senior" option is another, better known to the people of the power unit. The volume, however, the same - 1.6 liters. Only he is not eight, but 16-valve. And the power will be more - 106 "horses". And he can work not only under the control of mechanics. Potential buyers, in addition to this option, may also be offered a model, aggregated by a new "robot" from AvtoVAZ. An excellent option for lovers of comfortable and carefree driving.

Suspension

This is the last nuance that I would like to discuss. Suspension has received new settings for shock absorbers (especially for the all-terrain vehicle), other pillar supports, improved silent blocks and modified steering. Transformations were necessary, since they increased the wheelbase. Even the course of the steering rack was reduced. Because the turning radius has increased to 5.5 meters from 5.2. This "pseudo crossover" will be front-wheel drive, but the developers are thinking about creating an all-wheel drive car. And that - it will be for those people who want to become owners of the top model.

The minimum price is about 486,000 rubles (with 87-horsepower engine) and 496,000 - with 106-strong. Sales started in the autumn of last year, so those who wish can already buy a car.
