Perhaps one of the most anticipated cars of Russian production in recent years is the "Kalina Cross." Owner reviews are the most discussed topic among fans of the Soviet automobile industry in principle. This car appeared on the automotive market in 2014 – immediately after the moment in the Moscow premiere.
So, what's the first thing I would like to tell you about this car? "Lada Kalina Cross" first appeared before the eyes of motorists in 2014. It was at a meeting of shareholders of AVTOVAZ. The model was presented by the President of the company VAZ. But, by the way, "Lada Kalina Cross" - not only car, who was then presented. At the same presentation Bo Andersson drew the attention of the public models such as the Lada 4 × 4 Urban and Lada Largus Cross. All of these cars went on sale in the same year, in the autumn. Including "Kalina Cross." Its price amounted to approximately 400-450 thousand rubles, which is a rather modest amount for such a crossover.
"Lada Kalina Cross 4x4" conventionally refers to the crossovers, which are best described as universal cars. Of the features that manufacturers have given this model, we can note the increased ground clearance. To be more objective, it is universal, clearance which increased to 20.8 cm. Plus, it is worth noting plastic lining on the door and around the perimeter of the body, a factory protection, made of metal, is located below the gearbox, but also fairly large, the overall wheel.
Also can not say about the bright accents that catch the eye when you look at the design of the cabin. And, of course, some of the changes undergone and the technical part. Everything should tell you in more detail. Deserves car "Kalina Cross." Reviews of the owners, in turn, will help to create the most objective view about a specified model.
What else can you say about the car "Lada Kalina Cross 4x4"? It is perhaps worth noting the facts regarding its design and exterior of the body. The interior also deserves special attention. I must say that the model "Cross" – quite an interesting car. Inside, everything is decorated bright – there are inserts of orange or gold color, that looks impressive. The steering wheel, instrument panel, interior – everything is stylish and convenient. In General, one can say with absolute certainty – a new model from the Russian manufacturer was not only functional, but also attractive. This is another definite plus of the new machine. Because the beauty, functionality, and reliability – the three main qualities that should be possessed by any vehicle.
"Kalina Cross" test drive was a decent one. Though there are stereotypes concerning Russian vehicles, the new "Lada" – the car is good. Handling it good, despite the fact that the dimensions of the model are large. At the touch of the driver to the steering wheel the car responds quickly to turns is fast, with irregularities copes easily. In General, the experts really worked on the handling and improved it. Because this factor – a key to which potential buyers pay attention. This car supposedly becomes one with the road and holds the trajectory.
What else can you tell about the model "Kalina Cross"? Features and equipment of the car – that's what matters. Updates – the emergence of a good music system, it's pretty powerful. It broadcasts radio, and transmits the signal from USB or any other SD media. And this system allows you to connect a Bluetooth phone or smartphone. The developers have improved the noise insulation, installing protective screens. You can see them in the rear wheel arches.
The Luggage compartment is simple. It gives the possibility to transport about 355 liters. And if you fold the rear seats, the volume will increase to 670 HP Fuel tank also increased to fifty liters. Inside the car can accommodate four passengers, and the owners of the machine assure that there safely fit six people with the driver.
And, of course, impossible not to talk about the engine "Kalina Cross." A test drive showed that thisthe car is quite fast and moderately powerful. This model was created based on the universal ordinary "Lada Kalina". The new car is equipped with a gasoline 8-valve engine 1.6 liter. The power of a small – 87 horsepower. Of course, this model is driven by a manual transmission (if to be precise, it is cable). However, in order to enhance the thrust performance, the manufacturers increased from 3.7 to 3.9 gear ratio the main couples of the checkpoint.
The Maximum speed that can develop this car is 170 km/h and acceleration to "hundreds" is about 13 seconds. In General, is quite nice to have the car "the guelder-rose Cross". Owner reviews, at least, show that this car can adequately compete with some models of foreign production. Needless to say, experts WHA have worked very hard on the development of its concept.
About the security of passengers and driver developers too bothered, trying to equip the machine with whatever you can. The first thing I would like to mention two front airbags. Also, experts have given the car Central locking BAS ABS and do. Alarm is also included. Of course, it's not all that can boast this car. It also has steering column that can be adjusted for tilt, electronic power steering, comfortable headrests, heated front seats and climate control. Plus there are power Windows mounted on the front doors, and alloy wheels R15. In addition, producers have added the roof rails, is designed for secure attachment of Luggage.
In General, as you can see, technological innovation is enough. Perhaps for this reason, "Lada Kalina Cross" began to enjoy great popularity among fans of cars belonging to the Soviet automobile industry.
Well, it is very important, talking about a particular car, take note of the comments of those people who already own them. It is very important that they can say about the car, so to speak, objective opinion. So, most of them I assure you – this is a beautiful versatile model with excellent ground clearance, rich package bundle and unusual design. Plus – a gorgeous pendant, high quality, torquey engine and good transmission. Rumor has it that of all sorts of "Kalin" this model – the best. Moreover, in the specifications it has succeeded, so also looks presentable. And, in fact, from the inside. A lot of people it resembles the European crossovers – appearance. And characteristics and exploitation – Japanese cars. In General, for buyers with an average budget machine is good. Plus, it will be ideal for a large family.
