Buyers have identified the best VAZ cars. Representatives of the Togliatti automobile plant published a sales rating of Lada models. Last month, Volga automakers sold almost 59,000 cars. Last year's figure was worse by almost 5 percent. In just nine months, AvtoVAZ dealers sold almost 452,000 vehicles.
Best domestic car according to buyers Lada Granta . In just one month, more than 14 thousand people became the owners of the new sedan. Lada Granta became the best-selling car domestic production. The high demand for this model is due to the affordable price.
Cost of Lada Grant V minimum configuration — 383 900 rubles.
The cost of Lada Granta with a gun — 505 000 rubles.
The second VAZ car that deserved the recognition of customers was the model Lada Priora . During the month, the Russians purchased 11,609 cars of this model. The cost of Lada Priora is also quite democratic.
Price Lada sedan Priora budget package - 389 000 rubles.
Lada Kalina took third place in the rating of buyers. 9 thousand 315 Russians became the owners of the VAZ subcompact car. Although this car costs less than the Lada Priora, the demand for it is not so great. Apparently, the absence of some consumer qualities. The model has a rather modest size, and the appearance of Lada Kalina loses to the leaders.
The cost of Lada Kalina in a hatchback body - 435 500 rubles. Wagon Lada Kalina stands off 447 500 rubles.
Cars sold the worst Lada Samara. Buy within a month new Lada Samara decided only 4 thousand 342 people. It is clear that this VAZ model long outdated. Why buy a "chisel" when there are more on sale modern machines. In addition, models of this family are more expensive than Grants.
Cost of Lada Samara in a 3-door body - 272 thousands 300 rubles. A 5-door hatchback costs 284 thousand 300 rubles.
Price sedan Lada Samara — 292 thousands 300 rubles.
Model Lada Samara is out of production.
Better buy a new car domestic manufacturer. Today the Vaz family has several interesting models which we present to your attention. To find out which Vaz is better, we will make a list and consider each model individually. All models that will be described today are produced by one single manufacturer - AvtoVAZ OJSC.
The most popular Lada models:
- Priora;
- Kalina;
- Samara;
- Grant;
- Largus.
LADA Priora
LADA Priora sedan appeared on sale since April 2007, almost a year later, motorists had the opportunity to purchase this model with a hatchback body. In the same 2008, a version of the Lada Priora station wagon was shown at the Krasnodar Motor Show and already in 2009. AvtoVAZ produced a very small number of such cars in the coupe version ( three-door hatchback). Lada Priora became so fast that by 2012 it pushed Lada 110 into the background. Manufacturers understood that this brand of car was a success, so in order to remain competitive, they worked to improve Priora. In 2011, models with a slight restyling began to go on sale:
- Bumpers have been replaced;
- Replaced rear-view mirrors;
- The steering wheel is different.
The car received the next changes in September 2013, thanks to which it is safer, more beautiful in appearance. I was very pleased with the improved sound insulation, the car seats became more comfortable, head optics received daytime running lights, in the options added a system of exchange rate stability.
LADA Kalina
According to most motorists, the most best vaz— LADA Kalina, it is not for nothing that this particular model was recognized as the “Best car for operation in the regions” and received the “Golden Pegasus” from the publication “Behind the wheel”. 38 brand new models of domestic manufacturers, which were already on sale, participated in the nomination. The voting took 3 months, the cars were judged according to the following criteria:
- Technique;
- Design;
- Practicality.
The winner, according to motorists, was this particular model, because it is:
- practical;
- Attractive in appearance;
- Acceptable price category;
- Has excellent cross-country ability;
- Roomy.
Since summer 2013 new LADA Kalina is for sale on automotive market. To date, this is the most popular car in domestic car dealerships, which has about two dozen different configurations.
Lada Samara
Video review of the car Lada Samara:
Lada Samara is the most famous Soviet, belonging to a small class. It begins its existence since the distant 1984, and latest model 2114 left the AvtoVAZ assembly line in December 2013. Cars of this series, sold on the domestic market, originally had the name "Sputnik", and "Lada Samara" was applied only to export cars. These were the most modern cars technically developed, therefore enjoyed great popularity abroad.
Time does not stand still and the manufacturer famous cars boldly steps in step with him, so since 1991-1993 there have been significant changes in this "family". This was not enough to stay in good positions, so more and more restyled models entered the market, beautiful and, as it was believed at that time, very comfortable.
LADA Granta
To find out which Vaz car is better, you should get acquainted with another representative of the domestic manufacturer - Lada Granta. This budget
Produced at Volzhsky car factory since 2011. The well-known Lada Kalina became the donor of the model. In terms of dimensions, the novelty is a representative of the C-class, therefore it was able to oust the Samara family from the market and replace the Lada Kalina sedan modifications.
Designers had to complete a difficult task, to develop a car budget version with an attractive appearance and having advantages over its progenitor "Kalina". As a result, the back and front of the "viburnum" has changed, which made the new "Grant" a little higher and longer. Lighting equipment of an original form appeared, a complete set of suites was endowed fog lights. The style of "Grants" is quite ordinary without any innovations, some believe that rear end it is very similar to the Romanian-French Logan.
Lada Largus
Passenger car with good cross-country ability, perfect for travel and entertainment,.
There are three versions available today:
- passenger R90 station wagon (in 5- and 7-seater version);
- high-capacity station wagon;
- cargo van F90.
I am very pleased with the capacity of the car, as it can carry not only small, but also medium-sized cargo. This representative of Lada appeared as a result of a joint project between AvtoVAZ and Renault-Nissan. Serial production of this modification was imposed in April 2012, although the first Largus car was released in 2011 for factory testing.
Summing up
A good car should first of all be endowed with:
- Prestigious appearance;
- Have a good cross;
- Be not only roomy, but also comfortable;
- Meet quality + price criteria.
In our opinion, the best VAZ car is Kalina FL (2192, 2194) and Lada Granta (2190), because, unlike previous models like Kalina, Samara, Priora, they have the following advantages:
- Due to the fact that the heater radiator is removed large quantity heat, interior heating improved;
- The temperature regime of the engine is subjected to more precise regulation;
- Improved vehicle dynamics;
Choose, of course, you dear motorists, if you have something to add to our text, we will be glad to hear your comments.

September 28 is the day of the machine builder in Russia. The closest and most understandable machine builders for us work at AvtoVAZ. On the occasion of the holiday, “Another City” will tell about their wildest fantasies.
Text: Andrey Kochetkov
For almost half a century of its existence, AvtoVAZ has developed a lot of prototypes, concept cars and cars that simply did not reach mass production. Some of them can now be seen at the AvtoVAZ Technical Museum in Togliatti. Some now exist only in photographs. When you admire some of them, it becomes a pity that they did not go into the series. And they will not be able to be examined in more detail somewhere in a traffic jam on the Moscow Highway. Some of the models are inspiring. After contemplating some of them, one wants to forget oneself in the fumes of revelry at the Bottom. Some ideas were rather straightforwardly borrowed from foreign colleagues. Some were the fruits of their own Togliatti fantasy. In a word, this not the most famous part of AvtoVAZ's developments looks as contradictory and ambiguous as the lineup, gone into the series.
Representatives of which can be found on the roads of almost the entire planet. In honor of the Machine Builder's Day, we have selected the 10 most curious AvtoVAZ developments that you will never accidentally catch your eye.
VAZ-E1101
This cute dwarf, Tyrion Lannister from the "Game of Thrones" from the car industry, was born in late 1972. In an era when the "troika" was the latest innovative development of "VAZ", put into production. And the production of the Soviet tetralogy of cartoons about Cheburashka has not yet crossed the equator.
Actually, the name of the new at that time cartoon hero was called the alternative experimental version of the "penny" at the factory. compact front wheel drive car started thinking back in 1968. How own development, which is an alternative to the Fiat twins, mass production which lasted at VAZ for another four decades. "Another penny", made from scratch by semi-handicraft methods, has forever remained a prototype. She could not compete with Fiat's developments and did not go to the assembly line. For example, a cute dwarf let gases into the cabin.
Nevertheless, it was with Cheburashka that a long thorny path"AvtoVAZ" to develop their own models of cars, not borrowed from abroad.
VAZ-2122 "River"
The most famous soviet jeep"Niva" on this moment considered in the world almost the main achievement domestic auto industry. It is not for nothing that for almost three decades it has been produced and sold by the plant. It is time to consider the word "Niva" as a synonym for "stability". And it looks like domestic jeep still dance a jig on our graves.
Not surprisingly, there are several variations on the theme of the Soviet SUV. Some of them are quite exotic. VAZ-2122, nicknamed the "River", is the first and last amphibian at the moment, created in Togliatti. A car that moves due to the rotation of its own wheels both on land and on water has never been mass-produced.
It's a pity... Shoals of "Rivers", plowing the Volga gave with a background of the Zhiguli mountains, excite the imagination.
VAZ-1801 "Pony"
Like many Soviet technical developments, the VAZ-1801 is a fantasy about the products of the capitalist world. In 1969, the British Mini Moke got to the VAZ, on which the chief designer drove around the plant with a breeze.
After about 10 years, the factory developed its own likeness of the British. It was an electric car with two batteries, the charge of which was enough for 110-120 kilometers. Design appearance the model, code-named "Pony", was handled by the creator of the exterior, "Okie".
The Soviet electric car was supposed to be launched for the Moscow Olympics. But they did not manage to bring it to mind by the deadline. And then he was forgotten, previously lit up on several car exhibitions. Which is no wonder... Why did the USSR need a golf cart? The country at that moment wanted more cars, which were convenient to carry a pumpkin from the dacha.
VAZ-21073
One of the modifications of the "seven", created in the year of the 400th anniversary of Kuibyshev. Crazy fantasy on the theme of "Volvo" design. In fact, this is an attempt to cross the “seven” and the details of the upcoming “eight”. Now the words "seven" and "eight" are more associated with Californian Windows and iOS. And then it was more about ours, the Volga ...
VAZ-21073, according to by and large, was a design overindulgence. Because best forces the plant at that moment had already been thrown into the serial launch of the Lada Sputnik.
LADA RAPAN
This miracle came to earth as if from a dream of Luc Besson, who had gone overboard. The car is named after a predatory mollusk, brought from the Far East to the Black Sea and at the moment gobbled up almost all the small fauna there. "Rapan" is an electric car shown in 1998 after a long 12 years of development. The car, whose controls are hidden in the steering wheel, was greeted with great curiosity at the Paris Motor Show. But it was just a case of "seeing Paris and dying."
AvtoVAZ wanted to involve RAO UES of Russia in order for the holding to equip the existing conventional filling stations with Rapanov recharging devices. But in the diocese of Anatolia Chubais, the idea did not arouse enthusiasm. And the world's only Rapan now stands in the AvtoVAZ control room, and Tesla electric cars from Silicon Valley drive on the world's roads.
LADA OKA-2
A small car of a new generation of domestic production, which is so lacking on our overloaded roads, was even produced at AvtoVAZ. But they made "Oku-2" in the middle of the 2000s in total in the amount of 10 pieces. And something went wrong...
The new Oka was interested in KamAZ and SeAZ. Yuri Luzhkov wanted to launch its production at the idle facilities of ZIL. But all these plans turned into ashes. And now "Oka-2" like "Yo-mobile" has become a beautiful but sad page in the history of our automotive industry.
VAZ-2120 "Hope"
The first minivan of domestic production was made at the pilot production of AvtoVAZ from 1998 to 2006. "Hopes" managed to make as many as 8,000. But special faith and love for them domestic consumers did not experience. They were called obsolete and unreasonably expensive.
The quote "makes the impression of a car assembled from spare parts from different models Says almost everything about Nadezhda.
However, the “twenties” also have their fans. As with everything that is made on the basis of the Niva.
LADA CARAT
Another concept car is an Oki-themed fantasy. Shown in 2002 and turned into an exhibit of the AvtoVAZ Technical Museum.
LADA-2151
A concept also shown at the Moscow Motor Show in 2002. Such cars, according to the ideas of their creators, were supposed to replace the VAZ "classics".
First, plan to call the car "Strezhen". But this name was hacked to death because of the Russian letter “Zh”, which is inconvenient for promotion on the world market. As a result, the 51st "Lada" was called "Neoclassic". But the "ecological niche" of "Neoclassics" in model line the plant was occupied by Kalina. And the 51st remained just a rather successful fantasy of factory designers and constructors.
LADA C
Volzhan joint project with the Canadian "Magna International". What you see in the photo is "Kalina 4x4". No matter how wild it sounds.
In 2006, Togliatti with a company from Ontario decided to launch the production of 10 new models at once. In 2009 Canadians were smoked out of Togliatti Alliance Renault Nissan. And everything that was invented during the development of the Lada C series, it seems, is planned to be invested in Lada Vesta. But we will not see such a "Kalina 4x4" on the streets of cities. You can stop being afraid.
From the numerous list of models created by global automakers in the entire history of their existence, no more than ten cars can be distinguished that were most popular among consumers on all continents. Ready to find out what these cars are?
10Volkswagen Passat
Production Volkswagen Passat started in 1973 and continues to this day. The car survived the change of eight generations!

The car is currently being produced Volkswagen factories in Emden and Zwickau (Germany). Over the entire history of the existence of the model, more than 15.5 million copies.
9 Ford Model T
The model is also known as "Tin Lizzy". The car was manufactured by Ford motor in the period from 1908 to 1927. This machine became the first in the world to be produced in millions of series and positioned as simple in terms of equipment, cheap car. main reason Such a popularity of the car was the low price at that time (only $ 260 in the 1920s of the last century), which could only be kept thanks to the conveyor assembly. Total released 16.5 million cars Ford Model T.
8 Honda Accord
Surprised? Production of the Accord began in 1976, and to this day, this sporty mid-size sedan does not leave the covers of car magazines and headlines of Internet publications, thereby confirming its popularity. Nine generations of success and almost 18 million cars sold.
7 Opel Corsa

In total, more than 18.5 million machines.
5. Fiat 124/125/VAZ-2101-21074
It would be unfair to deprive the attention of the domestic automaker, right? The original version of the Zhiguli VAZ-2101 was released in 1970. The model has gone through many generations, or rather modifications. Last classic car became the VAZ-21074 sedan, the assembly of which in the territory of the Russian Federation ceased only in 2012. In Egypt, the assembly of the VAZ-21074 ended in early 2014. In total, from 1970 to 2012 (and this is 42 years old!) The Volga Automobile Plant produced 17.6 million Zhiguli (including assembly from car kits in Ukraine and Egypt). If we add cars based on the Fiat 125, which were produced in Italy, Spain, Bulgaria, Turkey, India, Morocco and South Korea, then we get a number in 20.5 million machines.
4Volkswagen Beetle
The name Beetle - translated "Beetle" - is the best suited for this car. Volkswagen Beetle – oldest car in this TOP, which is still in production and is one of the iconic cars in history. It is noteworthy that the "Beetle" was the flagship of the automaker from the very start of its production, and this is 1933. It is worth noting that the presented car has the largest total sales of a car that has not undergone significant modifications in the entire history of production. Implemented 23.5 million copies.
3Volkswagen Golf
First generation Volkswagen Golf appeared in 1974 and is now in its seventh generation. Golf was conceived as a successor to the iconic VW Beetle. However, in the end, he became almost more famous than the Beetle itself, and at the same time gave the name to a whole class of cars. In the United States and Canada, the car appeared almost immediately after the European premiere, but under a different name (Rabbit). It is noteworthy that it was the Golf that became one of the key products of the Volkswagen auto concern, thanks to this model, the automaker entered the top three of the world's largest auto giants. Over the years of production, more than 27.5 million copies.
2. Ford F-Series
The F-Series is a series of full-size pickup trucks that has been in production for over 60 years. The first Ford F-Series pickup became one of the most successful models in history Ford. The devoted love of Americans for powerful pickups allowed this car to take an honorable second place in our ranking of the most produced cars, even despite the fact that the model is nowhere other than North America not for sale. The popularity of the Ford F-Series is due to the versatility of the model (pickup trucks in America are popular not only among farmers, but also among ordinary citizens). In addition, the car is famous for an extensive line of modifications and power units for every budget and taste. From its inception in 1948 to the present day, the company has sold over 34 million pickup trucks F-Series, which have successfully dispersed around the world.

After a lot years Toyota The Corolla remains a popular model, thanks in large part to its image as an economical and affordable vehicle.
Which of these cars are your favourites?
- , 11 Oct 2016
The legendary "Beetle" is perhaps one of the most ancient representatives of the global automotive industry. The first copies were released back in 1938 and, having undergone three generational changes to this day, the model has secured the title of the most mass car in history, produced without changes in the basic design. By the way, today VW Beetle has sold over 20 million copies. What is curious, despite the increased demand abroad, in Russia, the "baby" appeared only two years ago - a couple of years after the start of sales of the current version in Europe and the USA. Although in part this can be considered justified, because for us such a machine is nothing more than a fashion product. What practical Germans have already realized, who, according to rumors, want to abandon the production of the legendary car. In addition, for this money - and its price varies from 977 thousand to 1.526 million rubles - you can buy a completely adequate crossover. And SUV, whatever one may say, still remains one of the most demanded segments.
Mercedes-Benz S-class
History of the first German cars executive class originates from the distant 1950s, but truly the first limousine for VIPs is considered to be a sedan with the factory designation W116 of the Stuttgart Mercedes-Benz. It was this model that first received the letter “S” in the name of the class (Sonderklasse in German means “special class”), becoming the ancestor of all subsequent “esoks”. To date, the car has gone through six generations. The premiere of the latter with the W222 index, we recall, took place in Germany in the spring of 2013. Its starting price in Russia is 5.25 million rubles (for the modification of the S400 with rear wheel drive). The third generation S600 in the back of the W140 enjoyed special love among our compatriots, which in the early dashing 1990s was, perhaps, one of the main indicators of significance among the “brothers” and cooperators.
Chevrolet Corvette
The oldest living sports car. This model name went to Chevrolet Corvette in honor of a US naval cutter in 1953. Throughout its history, the rear-wheel drive three-door has changed seven generations. As part of the Detroit Motor Show before last, the Americans presented a version of the Corvette Stingray, which experts recognized as one of the most powerful and economical cars in class. By the way, it costs more than the most affordable Mercedes-Benz S-class almost 200 thousand rubles. However, fans who want to try on themselves all the agility of 466 “horses” hidden under the hood are unlikely to be deterred.
Nissan Patrol
This SUV can rightly be called best example the rapid development of the post-war Japanese auto industry. In the early 1950s, Nissan released the pioneer Patrol with the 4W60 index, which visually resembled the American warrior Willys. It was only sold under the Datsun brand and entered the history of the global automotive industry as the first large SUV from the Land of the Rising Sun. Up to the fifth generation, the car boasted continuous bridges and frame structure. But the sixth generation of Patrol has acquired an independent spring suspension and a slightly modified frame. More precisely, the power frame in back opening was integrated into the supporting structure of the body. However, this does not detract from its merits, and the big man continues to enjoy stable demand, in particular, in Russia. By the way, the initial price tag for the model starts from 3.55 million rubles.
Ford Mustang
Another overseas legend, "registered" on the assembly line in the early 1960s, causes admiration and a storm of positive emotions from any motorist. Many people still think that the name of the model is somehow connected with a horse, but in fact we are talking about the P-51 Mustang air fighter of the Second World War, which, naming the car, was operated by Ford's lead designer John Nayar. And the logo in the form of a horse is due to the long hood and doors, and at the same time short luggage compartment, outwardly resembling a running horse. It is worth noting that in some countries of the Old World with such names, German mopeds Kreider and cargo vans Krupp, so the car was available to Europeans for a couple of decades under the code designation T-5. As for our country, the model is not officially sold in Russia. Anyway, for now. Ford nevertheless promised to bring the last, sixth generation of the car to the domestic market before the end of this year.
Toyota Corolla
Having undergone as many as eleven generations since 1966, the model was able to get into the Guinness Book of Records as the best-selling car in the world. At the moment, over 40 million copies of Toyota Corolla have been sold. One cannot but agree, a rather impressive figure. Which, in general, is not surprising, because these machines are in strong demand in more than 150 countries. Russia was no exception. Dealers Japanese brand offer our compatriots cars in six different trim levels in price range from 898 thousand to 1.150 million rubles.
Volkswagen Golf
Despite the super-popularity of the legendary "Beetle", consumer interest in it began to gradually fade away. Anticipating this, the automaker began to think about creating a new bestseller, which in the 1970s became Volkswagen Golf. The hatchback, which has seven generations in its lifetime, has repeatedly been awarded the title of " Best car of the year" in various countries of the world, became the absolute leader in European sales and even gave the name to a whole segment of cars (the golf class became synonymous with the C-class). Fans of the German classics annually gather in the Austrian Wörthersee, where you can see all the Golf generation without exception. It is also honored in our country, however, given the soaring price tags and the rapid attack of South Korean brands with their more affordable products, Russians have increasingly begun to give preference to the latter. The same situation, by the way, has developed with the Volkswagen Passat, once " people's car", finally lost touch with the people.
Honda Civic
In the 1970s, it was this model that helped the Japanese automaker stand on its feet during a severe oil crisis. Moreover, becoming a mass product, it brought the company to the international level. Today Honda Civic already successfully produced in the ninth generation, and the tenth is about to come. Meanwhile, although our car is in demand, it enjoys much more stable popularity among car thieves. Russian fans of the brand preferred a business sedan to her Honda Accord and SUV CR-V. The starting price of the car simple version execution starts from 1.099 million rubles.
Toyota Land Cruiser
Few know that with its roots this japanese SUV goes back to the distant 1950s, when its prototype called BJ was born. Officially same year of birth Land cruiser only 1987 is considered, and what is curious, in almost 30 years, the car managed to change as many as eight generations, rightfully winning the status of a premium and reliable SUV with an enviable off-road potential. In Russia, this model is generally perceived as something more than just a full-size off-road conqueror. It has become a kind of icon, a must-have machine. She was loved not only by reincarnated personalities with a dubious past, but also by quite honest hunters-fishers, all kinds of lovers of extreme rides and even representatives of the UN. Which, however, is quite justified - "Kruzak" has increased comfort, excellent patency and endurance. And a decent price tag. Now the "two hundredth" can be purchased from dealers by paying a minimum of 3 million rubles.
FIAT 500
A unique rear-engined subcompact that first rolled off the assembly line almost 80 years ago, for a long time held the title of the smallest stock car in the world. Currently, we have an updated version of the second generation of the model (there was a temporary gap between their releases) with a wide range of personalization options. And this is four various modifications, including the "sub-sporty" 500 S, twelve body color options, fifteen different interior trim solutions and a plentiful range of various options. Starting car price official dealers brand is 740 thousand rubles with the new specifications of the legendary model. As for the price, the model has gone through seven generations, acquired cabriolet and coupe bodies, and has also undergone restyling, becoming even more luxurious and technologically advanced. True, the price tag looks no less exclusive. By the way, in our country to become the owner of a chic Rolls-Royce Phantom it is possible, having forked out for more than 20 million rubles.
