Fuel consumption "Lada Vesta" with different engines

September 25, 2015 the concern "AVTOVAZ" officially presented the new sedan "Lada Vesta" and its serial production. Yes, the cost of this car is slightly higher compared to the previous models, however, it can be justify convenient package of options, a nice technical features and fix defects identified during testing.

However, despite the fact that the car is positioned as a budget car, cost of parts and maintenance is quite high. This also applies to fuel consumption of "Lada Vesta". Given that the new car has four engine variant, this is a question worth considering in more detail.

What affects the fuel consumption of "Lada Vesta"?

Unfortunately, It is impossible to specify precisely the volume of consumption of this car of gasoline, because it depends on many factors and they change dynamically appear and disappear during operation of the vehicle. One of the driver flow rate can be 8 liters per hundred kilometers, the other – all 15 liters. The speed of the motor, the transmission, the acceleration and deceleration at traffic lights, in traffic jams, driving on a dirt road or through puddles, increasing traction on the climbs – all this has a direct impact on fuel consumption of "Lada Vesta" at 100 km.

So for the measurement is the average value of fuel consumption obtained after running the car on a 100-kilometer stretch of highway. This will allow the driver to understand how much money monthly will have to spend to "feed" her new car.

As already mentioned, the new model can be equipped with four different engines: native engines from VAZ (11189, 21129, 21176), and a Japanese HR16DE engine-H4M. Latest powerplant used in budget cars of the Nissan group. For each engine fuel consumption "Lada Vesta" will be different.

Consumption in the engine VAZ-11189

Among the available modifications of this engine is the most voracious. It is the lowest power of the available motors, while the motor consumes a lot of gasoline for its volume – 1.6 liter.

This engine equipped vehicles complete set of "classic". Machine this configuration also have the manual transmission, although according to rumors, the designers planned to abandon this engine because of its limited power. Given the large weight of the vehicle, 86-horsepower is not enough to ensure normal performance characteristics, which would allow the driver to maneuver to move in a city crowded with cars.

As for the expense, then the previous model "Priora" and "Kalina" this engine required 8.5-9 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers in the city. On the track consumption was reduced to 6 liters per hundred. In the "West" indicators of fuel consumption are the same.

The Engine VAZ-21129

Compared to the previous model motor engine VAZ-21129 has improved design, which achieves a higher efficiency. The power plant is 106 HP, working volume remains the same – 1.6 litres.

Note that the fuel consumption of "Lada Vesta" with a 1.6-liter engine version 21129 not differ from the volume of fuel consumption of the engine 11189, however, due to higher efficiency is achieved by the increased power. The machine becomes more dynamic, high-spirited, which helps the driver in some cases. It is also important to note that in complete Comfort in a package that has this engine with a robotized gearbox. With this box the fuel consumption of "Lada Vesta" is increased to 10 liters per hundred in urban environments. When driving on the highway, consumption drops to 9 litres.

The Engine VAZ-21176

These motors are on the "Vest" are the most powerful. Logically, the fuel consumption of "Lada Vesta" this engine will be higher than the expense of other motors. This power unit has a working volume of 1.8 liters, and horsepower is 140 horsepower. These engines are also installed on the "Vest Cross" – the cars that the characteristics close to the crossovers, although marketed as station wagons.

As for the "appetite" of this engine, the experts claim that the engine consumes 30% more gasoline compared with the previous engines. Moreover, a difference of 30% is everywhere – in town, on the road, in mixed mode.

That is, if the engine consumes 8.5 liters per 100 km, the motor taking into account 30% of the difference will be "there" about 11 liters in the city.However, machines with these bodies belong to the middle price class. There is also a "Vesta" with the title, Signature – it is equipped with a robotic transmission Renault has an elongated shape and is a expensive car premium.

Japanese HR16DE engine-H4M

This motor is installed in cars with a complete set of luxury and coupe. The latter involves a two-door body – for car lovers of sporty style.

This engine from the Japanese company Nissan is cost-effective. Fuel consumption of "Lada Vesta" with this engine is 8.3 liters in the city, 6.3 liters – in mixed mode. When driving on the highway the car "eats" only 5.3-5.4 litres per hundred. A distinctive feature is that the transmission type is not particularly affect the consumption of gasoline. Fuel consumption of "Lada Vesta" 1.6 on the mechanics will be the same as for the automatic gearbox. Perhaps there is a difference in consumption, but it does not exceed 2-3%.

In conclusion

The standards are fuel consumption "Lada Vesta" are not Canon. This car may show as excessive consumption at a certain driving style and the extreme economy with moderate driving without sudden acceleration. Unfortunately, too many factors affect a car's consumption of fuel, so it is impossible to arrive at the same value.
