Lada Granta is available in three main trim levels: standard, standard and luxury. In this article, we will look at the Standard Package.
Engine
A variety of configurations is a special step to diversify the Russian automotive market.
Under the hood of a stock Lada Granta in the Standard configuration (engine 11183)
After the official presentation of this "people's" car took place, engine characteristics became available.
- Under the hood in standard version", there is an eight-valve Gas engine from Kalina.
- Volume -1.6 l.
- The motor has a power of 82 hp. With.
- It takes only 12 seconds to pick up speed of 100 km/h.
- If we talk about fuel consumption here, then it is equal to 100 km - 7.3 liters.
- As for urban conditions, fuel consumption increases to 9 liters.
- Engine Compliant environmental regulations Euro4.
Equipment Standard with HBO installed
The well-known Kalina became the platform of the Lada Grant. Therefore, the very first versions were equipped with . It was used in the assembly of the Kalina car. If more, then AvtoVAZ developers were engaged in its modernization. The features of this engine are:
- Optimized cylinder head cooling system.
- There is an improved shaft drive with an automatic tensioner.
- The cylinder head gasket is made of durable metal.
- In the manufacture of the cylinder head, a special hardening heat treatment is used.
- In Lada Grant, like everyone else Vehicle, There is front-wheel drive, and it has an electric throttle.
- After the modernization was carried out, the power increased to 64 kW.
- Torque increased to 140 Nm.
- the level of noise and vibration has been significantly reduced.
- when the valve "does not bend".
At the same time, the service life of the motor has increased, and now it is 200 thousand kilometers.
Interior and exterior
Based on the Kalina platform
If we consider it together with Kalina, then only the doors are similar. As for the panels, they are original. Head optics made by traffic rules and equipped with daylight running lights. They only start working when the ignition is turned on.
Bumper "not in body color" and lack of fog lights, why extra comfort for a simple Russian man in the street?
Fog lights are not provided here. Rear lights- big. Installed at the corners of the body. Made according to a symmetrical scheme: in the left fog pair, and in the right - 3X.
As for the bumpers, they are not painted. Besides . You can immediately see - savings, but you need to remember that here the developers tried to create the maximum cheap car with a minimum loss in quality and running characteristics.
side mirrors black, as in the more expensive configuration "Norma"
The side mirrors are also unpainted. Not heated, but mechanical adjustment from the salon.
Small A-pillars allow us to talk about good visibility.
Trunk
Compared with classmates, the trunk has an increased clearance in height
Now you can go to the trunk of the car. It opens with a button and a key. . Concerning negative sides then it is the lack of upholstery cover. There is also no closing handle, you have to get your hands dirty in inclement weather.
If we talk about one more difference, then Kalina can find gas stops. IN Standard again came to the scheme with hinges and torsion bars. Here part of the space is lost, and as a result, it is impossible to install speakers ( rear shelf). The way out is to acquire a back acoustic shelf or installing speakers in the rear doors.
There are no mats or extra nets. All this will have to be purchased separately. About that, we have already spoken.
Salon equipment
The front windows will have to be lowered manually, power windows are not provided in the Standard package
The salon is yours. The panel has few details and this is another difference from Kalina. All this should have had a pleasant effect on acoustic comfort. You can see here a few shelves and a place for the radio. If we talk about controlling the heater, then it consists of three Kalinovsky "twists".
The developers have made a good heater performance. When the first speed is turned on, there is a flow from the air ducts. It is much more powerful than in Kalina. How the heater motor works is completely inaudible. The glove compartment is large, but does not have a backlight.
A lot of niches on the front panel is good, but why so many?
Above it you can see a shelf for passengers. Between the tachometer and speedometer there is an on-board computer screen. In the Standard version, it has little information.
No engine temperature gauge - this is a fashionable trend in modern cars
No - this is again savings, but I think that new system cooling will not present any unexpected surprises to car owners.
The heater block is made according to the German scheme. With "Standard" configuration steering column cannot be adjusted in height. But it should be noted that its position is optimally chosen so as not to overlap the devices.
And there is no power steering in the car. But the steering wheel is quite easy to rotate, thanks to the long rail. Door skins are made in one piece. There are places to install speakers in the doors.
Child seats can be installed in the car. Special latch locks are installed in order to block the rear locks.
- The front seats are comfortable to sit on. The back sofa has three-point harnesses security. They unfold completely.
- There are no rear head restraints.
- The seat belts on the front seats cannot be adjusted in height.
- Ceiling handles are completely absent.
- There are also no interior door sills.
The interior of the cabin lacks stars from the sky
Vehicle positioning
Here the question about the positioning of the Standard package may appear. This car as simple as possible and it is well bought by people over 30 years old.
Everything is as simple and effective as possible
Simplicity of design and familiar elements of components from previous models make it possible to service the car yourself. Many car owners are used to this.
Equipment features
Lada Granta in the "Standard" configuration is now the most available version new economy class car.
Classic white
Model output on domestic market took place at the end of 2011. It should be added here that the Standard equipment is today the most popular among many motorists and is easy to use. Unlike expensive models she doesn't have any additional systems comfort and safety that does not stop domestic consumer from the purchase of this vehicle.
How fewer systems, the less it will break - this is the legacy of the previous not very reliable cars VAZ family (Classic, Samara).
An inexpensive car has dimensions that are fully consistent with other cars from this series. Since the price is small, then “for change” you can buy all the necessary additional options or do the upgrade yourself.
The first sales plus started at the end of 2011. It was during this period that many motorists were able to purchase a fairly high-quality and practical car for a small amount. Employees of the automaker said that the model has a good ratio of assembly and price category.
Appearance of the car
When inspecting the car, you understand that the designers and designers of the automaker have done a very good job. New Lada Grant received rather unusual shapes and new lines. The main advantage is the headlights, which are made using LEDs. different sizes. As a result, the customer receives an increased range and good illumination of the road. As for the shape, the designers decided to use ordinary small rectangles. performed using special materials. Employees of the company said that this method not only increases the service life, but also protects the part from all kinds of scratches.
In the central part of the grille is the Lada Granta emblem, made according to a special drawing. The grille easily fits into the free space between the headlights. At the bottom of the bumper are. They are made using the same technology as the head ones.
The side of the Lada Grant is equipped with high-quality doors and rear-view mirrors. Doors have high angle opening. Due to this, passengers will not experience discomfort during boarding and disembarking. Doors are made of high quality plastic anti-corrosion material. The side mirrors are rectangular shape, which allows the driver to control everything that happens behind the car.
The inconvenience of the model is due to the lack of a protrusion for the hand
The back of the Lada Grant has not undergone too much Big changes. The main advantage is the headlights, which combine three signals: stop, turn and reverse. This technique is very practical and interesting, besides, it saves a small amount of space.
Most drivers may encounter some problem that is related to the door. luggage compartment. The designers did not provide a special protrusion for the hand. Of course, you can get used to this, but over time. The standard plus package is quite large, about 600 liters.
The lower part of the bumper is slightly raised relative to the ground. This is done in order to increase the patency and smoothness of the ride. Now the driver will be able to drive not only on the city highway, but also on the suburban one. Passengers will not feel any kind of jolts and experience discomfort.
Specifications of Lada Grants
Under the hood of the car, everything is thought out so that the work of the car was decent and economical.
The engineers decided to use a fairly practical and powerful engine, which is capable of producing about 100 horses. The layout of the cylinders, the designers used the standard, in-line. Due to this, it is possible to obtain additional power. In the transmission of the car, the company's designers used new technologies and ideas to get a good ride. For a small amount, the driver will receive mechanical box on 4 steps. The gearbox works very smoothly and without failures.
Brake system and the suspension is pretty well done too. The engineers of the auto concern used a certain combination of levers and springs, which allows to increase the cross-country ability and get a good ride. The brake system is equipped with new pads to increase safety and reduce braking distances vehicle.
Production of new VAZ car due to the desire to update the classics of the concern. That is, the popular "Grant" should take the place of the domestic "seven". It should become just as accessible and unpretentious, so that every Russian can buy it. But at the time, the VAZ concern made a bet on the modern appearance of the Lada Grant in this model, it is very reminiscent of the Logan. This step is dictated by the fact that today's motorist is no longer ready to buy a car "just to drive." Drivers want to have an inexpensive, but modern car, and the affordable Lada Grant is just such an option. This car has already become very popular with Russians, and this popularity is growing all the time. According to the results recent years"Lada Granta" showed itself as
Lots of choice
It should be noted that the configurations of the "Lada Granta" are different, or rather, there are only three of them: these are the "Lada Granta Standard", "Lada Granta Norma", and also "Lada Granta Lux". The manufacturer, that is, the VAZ concern, deliberately took such a step in order to diversify the Russian automotive market. These models differ in configuration and price, but most importantly - in engine power. It should be noted that the engine, equal in volume to 1.6 liters, is the base for all models, but its modifications are different. In addition, the external data of the models have differences. Comfort and safety increase in proportion to the price.
Also, the models have a difference in the level of security. In addition, the configurations of the "Lada Grant" differ in terms of comfort. Concern VAZ specially introduced into production several variants of "Grants" so that the buyer could choose a car according to his means.

And since 2013, hatchbacks of this model have also been on sale.

That is, only one is installed in the car, which is intended for the driver. Further, "Lada Granta Standard" is equipped with an eight-valve 1.6-liter engine, whose power is 80 Horse power. The appearance of this "Grant" is also simple: the bumpers are not painted, there are no caps and grilles.

Many companies buy "Granta" in large quantities to work as a taxi and for the official needs of their employees.
