"Grant wagon": the characteristics and features of the model

One of the most popular models of the company «AVTOVAZ” today LADA Granta is considered to be. She came to replace the family of Samara. And quickly became popular and purchased. Largely thanks to its good looks and low cost. Even at the stage of development the model was called the Low-cost, which means “low cost”. However, all - in order.

Problems in production

Model “Grant universal” the light never went out. All because the production of new cars was adjusted by the company «AVTOVAZ». Resulting in “Grant universal” were not included in the lineup. Exactly the same as the modification in the body of a crossover.

The Production of SUV and station wagon was planned at BU Andersson. Who a year ago left the post of General Director of JSC «AVTOVAZ». As a result, the plans have changed – the new management has decided to cancel the production of the above modifications. And that was the reason.

The fact that in the model a number of “AVTOVAZ” simply don't fit in “Grant”. Universal Largus, Priora and in this modification, it surpasses the quality and convenience of equipment. So the production models Granta would have been impractical from a commercial point of view. But as many motorists have been waiting for this car, hope its release, the producers have left. Saying that development frozen for an indefinite period.

Appearance

Yet, despite the suspended process development, “Grant universal” deserves attention. From sedan it is distinguished not only increased capacity and dimensions. Design, developers also have changed. As can be seen, if you look at photos of the model. Rear end the designers decided to make not only elongated, but also upbeat. This design could give the possibility to safely transport even large items.

The Front part is also slightly raised. It would have had a positive impact on the handling and permeability. Indeed, the lack of low overhangs allows you to comfortably move about as urban streets and roads.

Features

Designed, but frozen model “Grant universal”, a photo of which is presented above, would have probably been popular. And for several reasons.

It was expected that the novelty will please superior maneuverability and high ground clearance. This modification in the sedan could not boast. Also the model is planned to equip optimized for transportation chassis, the roomy and spacious interior, enhanced security system and auxiliary options of comfort.

It was Assumed that the characteristics and parameters «Lada Granta universal”, picking which remained unknown, will be similar to “news”. But not only the volume of the Luggage compartment. From ‘Vesta" it has a capacity of 480 liters. Universal “Grant” had to have the trunk to 650 h

General features

Well, That's all the information relating to the frozen version. You can now say a few words about the car «Lada Granta liftback”. The wagon will have to wait a long time, but the other versions available for sale now.

They are available with three different engine choices. Which produce 87, 98 and 106 horsepower, respectively, with the same volume of 1.6 liters. The dynamics of consumption and they are different. However, the most popular cars with a 106-horsepower engine under the hood, so they should be considered in detail.

This “Grant” can be dispersed to maximal 181 km/h Mark in 100 km/h the speedometer reaches after 12.3 seconds after the start. Consumption is moderate. 100 city kilometres, the model takes 9 liters of fuel. And on the route – about 5.2 L.

By the Way, only the model with a 106-horsepower units are available with “automatic” and “mechanics”.

Problem selection

Interestingly, many people wishing to acquire a spacious car of the Russian manufacture, can long hesitate in their decision. Most of them have the same question. Which is better – «Kalina universal” or “Granta liftback”?

Hard to Determine. As one and another model has bright design, and also has a number of technical advantages. They are similar but differences exist. The fact that “Grant” is a new family of cars from “AVTOVAZ”. The tradition of the 90s, in turn, continues «Kalina universal”. “Grant” is bought more often, but only because it looks original and fresh. Today, the budget cars are in high demand among young people, and for them, design and modernity are of great importance when choosing a vehicle.

And from the object's point of view «Kalina» icenew model. In her salon too many gaps and deficiencies from the past. And in “Grant” they are almost there. In terms of technical features of the model are the same. The difference is only noticeable in rich trim levels. Which Granta stands out a wider range of units and attractive configurations.

Configuration

Granta in existing versions is offered with a wide range of equipment. Most likely, unreleased and station wagons had the same equipment.

The basic version has driver airbag, rear child lock, mounts for child seats, EBD, Immobiliser, ABS + BAS, 12V socket, adjustable steering column, factory tinted glass, audio system and forged wheels.

In the maximum configuration, all of the above is added a few dozen options. This airbag front passenger, security alarm, fog optics, active head restraints in the back row, trip computer, folding rear seat, prompter gearshift, electric power steering, cabin air filter, Parking sensors, rain sensors and lights, power accessories, heating function and more.

Cost

Finally, I would like to say a few words about the price. Unreleased universal presumably to be offered to potential buyers for 600 000 rubles. The good news is that realized to date, modifications are cheaper.

The Granta Sedan in the luxury configuration and with a 106-horsepower engine is offered at a price of 520-570 T. R. a basic version of a motor 87 HP costs only 340-390 T. R.

On the liftback is set higher prices. But still they remain acceptable. The most inexpensive model will cost 365-415 T. R. And “charged”, with the best engine and equipment will cost about 535-585 T. R.

This is all useful information concerning the model LADA Granta. Of course, it is a pity that universal never saw the light of day, but as you can see, the sedan and liftback are also good cars from a technical point of view.
