Any modern passenger car or freight car can be serviced and repaired independently, in a regular garage. All that is required for this is a set of tools and a factory repair manual with a detailed (step-by-step) description of the operations. Such a manual should contain the types of applied operating fluids, oils and greases, and most importantly - the tightening torques of all threaded connections parts of components and assemblies of the car. Italian cars – Fiat Alfa Romeo Lancia Ferrari Mazerati (Maserati) have their own design features. You can also join a special group select all french cars – Peugout (Peugeot), Renault (Renault) and Citroen (Citroen). German cars complex. This applies especially to Mercedes Benz ( Mercedes Benz), BMW (BMW), Audi (Audi) and Porsche (Porsch), in a slightly smaller - to Volkswagen (Volkswagen) and Opel (Opel). next large group, isolated by design features are American manufacturers - Chrysler, Jeep, Plymouth, Dodge, Eagle, Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Ford, Mercury, Lincoln .

Reviews of real owners of Lada Vesta SV Cross station wagon (2017-2019):

Posted by a Alexey in 2019 +2

Year of purchase and mileage: 2018, December. 600 km
Equipment: Vesta SW Cross 1.8 MT Luxe Multimedia
Your average expense: 10.2

Advantages of the car: Roomy enough, elegant, quiet

Vehicle Disadvantages: incorrect operation of the wipers, the first movement on a dry one. There is a feeling that 5th gear is engaged with a slight crunch. The first kilometers smelled like a singed clutch (perhaps it was the smell of burning additional anticorrosive).

Your feedback or advice to future owners: This review not recommended for owners of cars over 2,000,000 million rubles, as well as for lovers of decrepit real foreign cars, in which almost all original parts have been replaced, including Zhiguli)) Since 2006, he owned only new cars foreign brands(Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Citroen, Renault, VW, including those made in Russia). Almost all cars had flaws, expressed in defects in both the operation of the suspension, transmission, and paintwork. The purchased Vesta is a kind of experiment, at the family council they decided that they don’t want to overpay for a car supposedly foreign production, but collected by the same Russian bat collectors. I will not argue that the cost of Vesta is somewhat different from the real one, but this is a feature of the pricing of our state as a whole. At the same time, it must be admitted that the equipment, body type and overall quality assembly puts forward this car higher relative to their pseudo-foreign competitors. At this stage, the car only produces positive impressions. In terms of build quality, plastic, sound insulation, running characteristics absolutely not inferior to new foreign classmates sold in Russia. Operation will show the real price of this car.
p.s. the second car in the family, bought instead of one of the pseudo-foreign SUVs. There is another car worth 2,000,000 rubles, not made in Russia.

Bought in August 2018. Mileage 6500. The 1.8l engine does not eat oil, I like everything except one, when driving on a highway in an open area, over 90 km / h with driver's side there is a whistle and some kind of crack / crunch. came to official dealer in Kazan Azino auto. The guarantor referred to AvtoVAZ, allegedly allowable norms noise on which AvtoVAZ will not take any action. Bottom line: I was left alone with my problem ((The car as a whole is not bad, but the attitude towards customers ..... Whistle for 885000r.)))

lada vesta sv cross 1.6 February 2018 mileage 15 thousand. I'm happy with the car. If the gas pedal is operated smoothly and after changing gear and full inclusion clutch to pause like on a diesel engine, then the car behaves very dynamically, accelerates quickly without failures. About the expense. On the highway at a speed of 110-120, I personally consume 6.5-7.5 liters. For the past 11 years, Porfi himself has worked as a personal assistant and has traveled on many cars of prestigious classes. Therefore, I will say that this car is very good for a comfortable ride,

Year of purchase and mileage: 2018 mileage 3800
Equipment: Suite
Your average expense:

Advantages of the car: capacity, maneuverability. Dynamic rear view camera. Simpotyaga, already in design is not inferior to foreign cars. Look at MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE CROSS, the model came out later than Vesta St. Cross. doesn't remind you of anything? One gets the impression that the design is already being torn off from our car. There is a Cruise Control that WORKS. Nothing creaks when opening windows, as they say in the top reviews, it does not eat oil. Buying a car does not burden the owner's pocket much.

Vehicle Disadvantages: The first 2000 sank when switching. Long acceleration. Then something wised up. Acceleration became smoother, the robot began to work faster on switching. Silent blocks creaked in the intense heat, they were immediately replaced without question. I can’t make friends with multimedia, it’s not a very sensitive panel or something.

General impression: My husband left, and with him the Lexus NX, there was nothing left in my pocket. That's how she appeared. MY Vesta. Wild comparison .. right? You can scream endlessly domestic auto industry g..but, but...this car is really a breakthrough. I wish our creators to move forward. In fact, we have been taught for a long time that everything is bad with us. Hence the prejudice. And by by and large we need what? To drive, carry, it was convenient, and the cost of its maintenance did not really burden the owner. She performs all functions. Yes .. on the road they are not inferior to Lexus, but also x. would be with him.

Options on Vesta were completely put on, and now I’ll tell you about braids alloy wheels the asphalt joint and the disk bursts in the middle and cannot be repaired, 4 chairs are like a side support bench, 5 ESP works rough compared to other cars, 6 the rear-view camera is constantly in the mud and gets scratched badly, 7 heating windshield half works and half does not, 8 the steering wheel is not leather, but they say leather, 9 power windows work rough and scratch the glass heavily, 10 foam rubber is put between the panel and the windshield and already flies off in pieces the whole panel dirty car

Posted by Ignat in 2018 -26

Vesta has 3 illnesses, engines do not have travel oil and gasoline, there is no automatic gearbox or variator, it’s a shame, but the mechanics are either ours or Renault, so you understand which box they say is 1.6 VAZ and 1.8 renoshnaya, the chassis all creaks and works rudely, shock absorbers in the trash of SaaZ are gas, the pads also creak in the trash, that's how they do and will do Vaz

SW cross 1.8 AMT, luxury, mileage 3800, bought on March 20:
- consumption city 12, highway-7.5
- at 2000 it began to twitch at the start of movement and at small ones, the clutch was covered !!!
- wedge door handles in the open position, EVERYTHING !!!
- turn left switch does not work on touch !!!
- it eats oil, I didn’t measure it for sure, but for 3800 there is almost no oil on the dipstick (I changed it today, I will control it)
- the suspension rattles.
Officials recorded everything on video and sent it to the factory, I'm waiting for the results.
In general, TIN, for comparison, I drove 160,000 on Solaris in 6.5 years and replaced only the alternator belt tensioner.
It's embarrassing to be alone.

Posted by Vladimir in 2018 +19

I bought Vesta Cross in December Consumption (city highway) about 10 liters mileage 5500 km oil decreased by 1 mm on the dipstick No complaints yet good traction can be said excellent after 4000 km feeling that it gains more easily and generally pulls better In cold weather on an unheated internal combustion engine there are dips when switching to second gear that disappears after the car warms up. In general, the car is beautiful + the most pleasant thing is that there are all useful goodies in the form of a camera cruise, rear windshield heating anti-buks anti-skid Renault box Take it, you won't regret it

Posted by SomeBody in 2018 +14

I'm not an expert, so I'll just try to describe the feeling of the car. I bought it in February 2018 on a mechanic with a 1.8 engine. Externally, I really like the car. MARS color. From the factory goes directly to casting. On the run-in, the consumption was about 9.2 l / 100 km. I tried to pour 92 and 95, 92 more consumption. Holds the road, no banks. There were no suspension failures. Irregularities and pits, not to say that it swallows, but it does not give anything to the salon either. In first and second gears low revs dips are present, you press the pedal and it does not go. There is more meesta in the cabin than the Rio X-Line, but this is subjective. Noise isolation is acceptable. Light is good. The outdoor temperature sensor is lying. In general, for their money is quite normal.

Posted by Viktor Sergeevich in 2018 +9

Cross took only and-for appearance, so brutal and aggressive. Looks almost like an SUV. Didn't even overpay for the metallic plastic body kit contrasted more. But the engine chose 1.6, I thought about 1.8, but as I read the reviews, there are too many complaints about it. And failures in traction, and excessive maslozhor. Well, I don’t want to conduct development tests at my own expense instead of AvtoVAZ. There are no comments on the car itself, well, maybe only the trunk. This is the trunk of a hatchback rather than a station wagon.

Posted by Stanislav in 2018 +4

What do marketers of sabakoedov and vaga think about? For the same 800 tyrov, I get more space, higher ground clearance and a bunch of everything, from heated windshield to side airbags. And all this is two hundred thousand cheaper than competitors. Although we probably won’t run out of boobies who are ready to buy more expensive, but then a “foreign car”. Although what Rio xline is a foreign car? This is a purebred Chinese and a nameplate from Kia. In general, take until the prices are raised. And then Vesta in January already became the leader in sales in the Russian Federation.

Video reviews Lada Vesta SV Cross station wagon (2017-2019)

Crash test wagon Lada Vesta SV Cross from Autoreview

Video review of the car Lada Vesta SV Cross station wagon from Autoreview journalist Sergey Znaemsky.

Comparison of Lada Vesta SV Cross station wagon with a cross hatchback Lada XRAY Croos and Chevrolet SUV Niva

Lada Vesta has become one of the most anticipated cars of 2015 in Russia. The domestic automaker has finally created a truly competitive product. This car had nothing in common with the previous AvtoVAZ models, neither from the position of construction, nor from the point of view of design.

Lada Vesta has become a new representative of class B. She was positioned as a replacement obsolete Lada Priors. In terms of dimensions and comfort, the car significantly outperformed its predecessor.

The AvtoVAZ model has many worthy rivals in its class. She has to compete with Renault Logan, Hyundai Solaris, Volkswagen Polo, Chevrolet Aveo And KIA Rio which are very popular among Russians. However, the domestic product is ready to fight for its place in the segment, which is confirmed by high performance demand for the car in the first months of sales.

A new universal platform "B" was developed for Lada Vesta. It was supposed to be used for the production of foreign and domestic models. The advantages of using the "native" architecture turned out to be many. The car turned out to be stylish, roomy, and many technological solutions have become so successful that they have already been adopted by other brands. The flagship of AvtoVAZ was endowed with excellent management, which has already earned positive assessments from experts.

However, Lada Vesta did not become a completely unique product. Individual parts and the manufacturer borrowed components from Renault-Nissan cars. So, from Renault Megane domestic model received rear suspension And steering. The radiator also did not become original.

By external characteristics Lada Vesta will give odds to many "classmates". The design of the car turned out super-successful. In front of the car, the enlarged AvtoVAZ nameplate, mounted on a stylish X-shaped radiator grille, immediately catches the eye. The picture is complemented by large slightly slanted headlights. The design of the model uses a lot of developments of the XRAY concept, which fit very harmoniously into the appearance of the sedan.

According to the exterior of the model, experts identified only one flaw. Many did not like the side stampings. However, it was they who gave the car an individuality that most of the "classmates" do not have. Lada Vesta cannot be called the pinnacle of design art, but weaknesses there is very little in her appearance.

The interior of the model also differed significantly from other AvtoVAZ products. Despite its budget, it turned out to be very attractive. Lada Vesta became the first domestic car that had air conditioning in basic configuration. Also, the car was equipped with heated mirrors, on-board computer and audio system. The interior itself turned out to be quite modern, and the quality of the finishes is high.

At present Time Lada Vesta is equipped exclusively with a 16-valve 1.6-liter unit "21129" (106 hp). In the future, it is planned to install a foreign HR16 engine (114 hp) and a 1.8-liter AvtoVAZ engine (122 hp) on the car. As a transmission, the consumer can choose a domestic 5-speed robotic box gears or 5-speed "mechanics" Renault-Nissan. True, the first option has already received a number negative reviews from buyers.

Lada Vesta was equipped with a solid suspension (front - MacPherson struts, rear - torsion beam) and a clearance of 178 mm.

Wheel and tire parameters:

• 6J rims on 15 ET50 (6 - width in inches, 15 - diameter in inches, 50 - positive offset in mm), tires - 185 / 65R15 (185 - tire width in mm, 65 - profile height in%, 15 - rim diameter in inches);
• 6J wheels on 16 ET50, tires - 195 / 55R16.

Among the other characteristics of the wheels should be highlighted:

• PCD (drilling) - 4 to 100 (4 is the number of holes, 100 is the diameter of the circle on which they are located in mm);
• fasteners - M12 by 1.5 (12 - stud diameter in mm, 1.5 - thread size);
• diameter central hole- 60.1 mm.
• Tire pressure - 2.1 bar

Lada Vesta is offered in three trim levels: "Classic", "Comfort" and "Lux". The difference between them is not significant and lies in certain options and individual elements salon. The price tag for the model starts from 514,000 rubles, which for this class quite acceptable. Affordable cost coupled with high technical specifications may well bring Lada Vesta to the leaders of the segment.

Many people know about the need to check tire pressure. In case of discrepancy, the rubber wears out faster, stability is lost, and the fact of inflated or flat wheels affects handling and fuel consumption. Watch the pressure, like any part of the car, rubber needs careful maintenance and inspection. Familiarize yourself with the load capacity and speed indices, find out what parameters the rubber of your car has. Let's figure out what the tire pressure should be for Lada Vesta.

How often to measure to kill rubber

Please note that the pressure may change with changes in ambient temperature. Moreover, the process occurs equally in winter and summer period. The main rule when checking is to measure before the trip, until the rubber is warm. After a short trip, the wheels get very hot and the readings differ significantly from the real ones.

Measurements should be carried out, not only after tire wear has become noticeable. The manufacturer recommends checking the pumping, as soon as you feel that the car began to behave differently. For example, it began to throw around, uncertain entry into turns. In any operating book you will find information that a check must be carried out if the temperature drops reach 10-15 degrees. As a rule, these are spring / autumn seasons, be careful this time of temperature fluctuations.

What kind of tire pressure to keep on Vesta?

The tire pressure on Vesta is regulated both by the factory and by the driver independently, depending on the operation of the tires. What is the R15 pressure, taking into account the size 185/65 (tire) 88H and (rim width) 50 mm - 2.1 at partial and 2.2 atmospheres at full load.
Taking into account the size 195/55 R16 91H with an offset of 50 ET - 2.1 and 2.2 "atmospheres", at partial and full load, respectively.

For the winter

For summer

A similar situation with summer "slippers", but here we argue on the contrary, taking into account elevated temperature, it is better to reduce the pumping -0.1 atmosphere. This difference will compensate for the thermal contraction or expansion of the air in the wheel.

Up to how many atmospheres to pump wheels on Lada Vesta Cross - instructions

In the factory's recommendation for Vesta Cross indicated from 2.2 to 2.4 "atmospheres", it is also curled from the driving style. The size plays a role, given that the manufacturer installs R17 wheels and a dimension of 205/50. Someone wants a tire higher, wider, that's why they "play" with the swap level as they want. But, you need to take into account all the features, what kind of load, diameter, the larger the diameter, the lower the height. It is generally accepted that for the Cross version, the average values ​​range from 2.2 to 2.4 atmospheres.

Standard tire pressure monitoring system for Lada Vesta

On this moment, this system is available - it is installed on export versions of the Lada family: Vesta, XRay, Kalina, Grant. When the option appears on Lada models intended for Russia, it’s hard to say, the fact that the option is available pleases. Perhaps soon "gadgets" will be available with us.

Taking into account the equipment of export vehicles, their “tidy” is also different, because it is here that information from sensors is taken out. In general, the TPMS tire pressure monitoring system is represented by four built-in sensors in the wheel valves. TPMS sensors regularly measure and send data to the "tidy", informing the driver.

What indicators depend on tire pressure

The air in the tires affects the following indicators:

• Maneuverability;
• Controllability;
• road grip;
• Fuel consumption;
• Cross-country ability - if you want to drive off-road, lower the wheels.

Uninflated tires can cause damage to the rim. Imagine you are driving on a road where the surface is not perfect. We drove through the pit, taking into account the weak pumping, the disk takes more load. For steel rims, it’s practically not scary, but “casting”, titanium, can not only bend, but crack. And the impact on the tire is no less.

It is enough just to look at the photo, as we see with different pumping, the contact surface of the wheel with the road changes. Why some areas wear out quickly, some do not interact at all. Insufficient grip can cause an accident.

You think pumping is not a problem - you are mistaken. Over-inflated tires are dangerous, increasing the risk of hydroplaning and similarly, the contact plane is smaller, resulting in uneven wear.

In conclusion, I would like to say, monitor the pressure, maintain it, as required by the manufacturer. Pay attention to your own driving preferences. lovers high-speed driving you can deviate from the average by 0.1 bar. Indeed, at speed, the temperature rises, and, accordingly, the pressure, which is why an excess of the latter, often leads to rubber rupture - be careful on the roads!

Sales of new items started last year domestic production — station wagon LADA Vesta SW CROSS. Maybe there is little that is domestic in it, but the car was made here, at our factory! And from the fact that the car turned out to be successful in terms of design, design and sales, one can only be glad for the novelty. hallmark from all of us previous models, produced at AvtoVAZ, was at least the installation of simply huge (by the standards of Lada). We have already talked about them in one of our articles, and today we will analyze the topic of the Lada Vesta SV Cross tire.

Tires Lada Vesta SV Cross, as for any other car, are one of the most important elements. They depend not only on the controllability and braking distances, but also indicators such as fuel consumption, road stability, acceleration, general power engine. In addition, tires affect ride comfort and suspension wear in general. That is why it is important to use only tires specified by the manufacturer.

The table below shows the dimensions of tires Lada Vesta Cross SV.

After analyzing the table, we can conclude that the manufacturer recommends using only one tire size - 205/50 R17 with different load and speed indices.

But what about those who want to put tires wider or taller?

It is allowed to put the rubber a little wider, for example in this case fit rubber width 215. You can also use more narrow rubber, for example 195 wide.

Tires and Wheels Lada Vesta SW Cross
Tires	Disks
195/65R15	6.0Jx15ET37
205/55R16	6.0Jx16ET40
205/50R17	6.5Jx17ET41
205/45R18	7.0Jx18ET38
215/45R17	7.0Jx17ET38
215/40R18	7.0Jx18ET38

To put the rubber lower or higher, you will have to play additionally with the diameter of the disc. Everything is done according to the rule: “The higher the rubber, the smaller the disc diameter, and vice versa.” For example, in order to put 65 tires on Lada Vesta SV Cross, you will have to purchase R15 wheels. Full information Tire dimensions are shown in the table above.

If you read the first part of the material, but did not understand what all these numbers mean, then now we will explain everything. For example, we have a tire with the inscription 195/65 R15 91 TXL. We are not interested in the name and model, only the parameters themselves.

The first number is the width of the tire in millimeters. In our case - 195 mm.

The second number is usually written through a slash and indicates the height of the tire as a percentage in relation to the width. In our case, this is 65% of the width of 195 mm, i.e. approximately 127 mm.

The letter R does not mean the radius, as is commonly believed, but simply indicates that the tires have radial cord. All modern tires For passenger cars are produced using this technology.

The number after the R indicates the rim diameter in inches the tire is designed for, or the inside diameter of the tire. In our case, this figure is 15 inches.

The next designation in the rubber label is the number 91. It indicates the maximum load on one wheel or the load index. In our case, this is 615 kg. For cars this indicator is not so important, but for trucks it is of great importance. Full details of the load indexes and their respective masses are shown in the table below:

The letter T in the Lada Vesta Cross tire marking indicates the speed index. In other words, this is the limit allowable speed, with which you can travel in a car equipped with such tires. Adhering to the table below, you can easily calculate that you can drive no more than 190 km / h on tires marked T.

And finally, we got to the last indicator. XL - indicates that the tire is reinforced. Those. if XL is indicated next to the marking, then the maximum mass will not be equal to 615 kg, but three units more, i.e. 670 kg.

There are also other designations. For example, the seasonality of tires. Winter tires are always marked with a snowflake. M+S (M&S, Mud + Snow) - all season tires. Rain tires are usually identified with an umbrella icon.

These are basic designations. There are others, such as the direction of the tread, which allows you to correctly install the wheels on the car and others. But basic designations for 80% of drivers will be enough.

Tire pressure Lada Vesta Cross

The tire pressure of the Lada Vesta CROSS SV is very important indicator, since not only the controllability of the car and general comfort from driving, but also the safety of tires and wheels. The point is that at high pressure in tires it will be very uncomfortable to ride on smooth roads, and it can also lead to premature wear tread on the center of the tire.

Too low tire pressure allows you to ride more comfortably - the ride will be smooth and soft. But at high speeds there is a risk of losing control. In addition, it is possible rapid wear tires around the edges, and when entering a pit or a bump, damage to the tire and disc may occur.

Based on the foregoing, we can conclude that the tire pressure of the Lada Vesta Cross should be from 2.1 to 2.5 atmospheres, depending on the driving style and the usual level of comfort. It is not recommended to overestimate or underestimate the pressure.

In order to choose tires for Lada Vesta Cross, you must first decide where the car will drive and in what conditions. If the car drives around the city on flat roads, then you can do without low profile tires. If the car is used on a primer, then it is better to take tires higher in order to feel less of all the bumps.

Rubber noise is important. For a comfortable ride, you need to choose softer tires. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the tread pattern in order to choose the right tires. At the moment, there are four main types of protectors:

1. Symmetric directional
2. Symmetrical non-directional
3. Asymmetrical non-directional
4. Asymmetric directional

symmetrical directional

This type of tire is great for high-speed driving, and is also resistant to hydroplaning. The protector does an excellent job of wicking water away from the contact patch. But the disadvantage of such tires is increased noise.

Symmetric non-directional

This universal type tires. It doesn't do a great job of wicking away rubber, but it's good for leisurely riding for almost any type of rider. But such tires provide comfortable ride on any type of road - both gravel and highway.

Asymmetrical non-directional

The outer part of such tires has a more rigid structure that is resistant to damage. A inner part tires are sharpened for drainage. central part responsible for exchange rate stability.
