LADA Granta: driver feedback and objective model specification

In fact, the sedan LADA Granta is a copy of the obsolete "Kalina". However, the developers have made more than 400 changes in the design of the machine, which allowed to get a completely new, more attractive car at the exit. In addition, the cooperation with the French colleagues from the Renault concern gives a guarantee on the quality of the assembly, which the Volga Automobile Plant has been missing for the last 40 years. Despite the fact that the Lada Granta car appeared in Russia only two years ago, its sales level reached unprecedented levels Heights. But why is it so special? Let's figure it out.

Lada Granta: feedback from owners about appearance

Outside, the car is pretty attractive. I especially want to mention the LADA Granta Sport series. The owners' comments do not express serious displeasure in the direction of design development, and their opinion is impossible to disagree. The car looks much more solid than its class. A streamlined bumper, a large windshield, a wide grille with a chrome strip and 4-corner sweeping headlights distinguish the novelty in the background of other VAZ models. Even the latest generation of "Priora" looks much more boring and older than LADA Granta.

Feedback on the interior

Inside the machine is even more attractive than outside. Looking at the photo, you can not tell at once that this is a domestic VAZ. If it were not for the emblem on the steering wheel, the interior design could be confused with some Japanese business sedan. By the way, the style of the interior design was much more interesting and more solid than that of the French "Renault Logan". Everything seems to be filled with sporting and elegant elements.

You can not even say that this is a "budget" salon, and even more so VAZovsky.

Technical specifications LADA Granta

The recall of drivers marks a reliable and powerful line of engines, which was not borrowed from the "dozens" or "Kalina", but created absolutely from scratch. Opens our review eight-valve gasoline engine capacity of 87 horsepower and a working volume of 1.6 liters. It is the base for the Lada Granta sedan . Recall drivers also notes a more powerful 106-horsepower gasoline unit with a working volume of 1.6 liters. All engines are equipped with either a five-step "mechanics" or (attention!) A 4-band "automatic". The use of automatic transmissions is rather an exception to the rules of Russian automakers. And this "myth" was quickly destroyed with the advent of the new sedan LADA Granta.

The recall by the owner notes that the whole line of engines is quite hardy in the conditions of the Russian winter. In sub-zero temperatures, the car starts with a half-turn, and in summer it's almost impossible to see the boil on the sidelines of the "Grant".

Price for a novelty

The minimum cost of LADA Granta in Russia is 279 thousand rubles. Top-end equipment with manual transmission will cost the buyers 404 thousand rubles. For the same version, but only with the "automatic", will have to lay out about 430 thousand. Given the combination of such a low cost with a beautiful exterior design, interior and reliable engines, we can predict that the domestic "Grant" in the near future will be a real bestseller not only on the Russian, but also on the world market. But so far these are just assumptions.
