VAZ-2121: features, photos

Today, the car market is Packed with a variety of makes and models of crossovers and SUVs. But despite such a huge amount of range, the car VAZ-2121 is out of the competition. This car has always been in demand. “field” is one of the cheapest SUVs. The machine has excellent features of permeability. Often it is bought precisely for this purpose – fishing, hunting, offroad or competition on the roads. The car is cheap, simple device has a huge potential for tuning.

Description

The VAZ-2121 – the Soviet, and later Russian all terrain vehicle small class. Assembled at AVTOVAZ plant in Togliatti. The machine has a bearing body and a permanent four-wheel drive. Serial production model began in 77th year.

For More than 30 years, this car was produced almost unchanged. Now the car VAZ-2121 has an upgraded powerplant and a slightly modified look. But about all under the order.

Appearance

The Design of this car is familiar to many. This car was seen by everyone. Outwardly, during this time, the machine is significantly out of date. The body has a simple shape. “field” devoid of any design frills. It is a regular SUV with round headlights, small bumpers and no notable wheels.

In 2013 year, the situation has changed a bit. AvtoVAZ first time in many years (not counting the change in trunk lid) made adjustments in the design of this car. At the moment the machine is available in the following form.

The design of the machine was changed, but not essential. Thus, among the main differences it is worth noting the grille and bumper. Latest steel plastic and have a slightly large size. Also “urban” supplied with a cast 18-inch wheels. Changed the shape of the side mirrors. Otherwise the body is identical to the “Field”, which was produced during the Soviet era.

What they say about VAZ-2121 “field” owner reviews? The quality of the metal on this car is not the best. Reviews say that the car is rusting very rapidly. After five years of operation, the paint flies everywhere and formed “bugs”. From the factory the metal has a weak anti-corrosion treatment. And if we talk about models older than 15 years, here and did not find alive instance with integer thresholds and more or less normal paint coating. Thus, weak protection against corrosion is one of the main disadvantages of this car.

Dimensions, ground clearance

The total length of the three-door "Fields" is about 3.72 meters. Height – of 1.64, width – 1,68 meters. By the way, the rear track is 3 cm narrower than the front. The ground clearance on standard wheels is 22 inches. That is quite impressive, which along with the short wheelbase gives excellent characteristics of permeability. But for the latest versions with the plastic bumpers, with lower eaves at the «the Fields» decreased departure angle and arrival. On steep hills the car catches primarily plastic, it is not practical.

Interior

It's No secret that the basis for the creation of «the Fields» become a classic «Lada». This can be found not only on the configuration of the motor, but also in interior design. Inside is still the same chetyrehspitsevy steering wheel without adjustment and austere panel. The centre console is a pair of ducts, and the control unit stove. Many people are surprised by the fact that the design of the buttons have remained the same since the Soviet years. The key here is very massive. And the wheel is not compact. Salon «the Fields" can be called one continuous weak spot – say the owners. The shortcomings are everywhere. You can start with the door.

The Locks on it is very noisy and the door eventually closes bad. Seat – shapeless, with a limited range of adjustments. In most versions there are no electric Windows, no Central locking, no air conditioning (what more can I say about the acoustics – it is absent in principle). The windshield wipers are too high, which prevents visibility. Seat little. Especially it is not enough in the back. On the couch barely able to accommodate two passengers. Noise insulation in the cabin is missing. Winter car quickly cools down, and summer – heats. Plastic rattles everywhere, and the old models are still drafts in the cabin – note the reviews. Stove on all models insanely noisy, and the disease persists in the new ‘the Field of urban”. Thus, in terms of comfort this car significantly ahead of even the cheapest “Chinese” brand “great wall" of the mid-2000s.

Specifications

Was Originally placed on the car VAZ-2121 petrol engine from the “Six” with increased to 1.69 liters of volume. But since the mid-2000s, all "Fields" were equipped with injection engines.

So, under the hood today «the Fields" are placed in-line four-cylinder gasoline engine of 1.7 liters. The engine VAZ-2121, meets the standards Euro-4 and develops 83 horsepower at 4 thousand revs. Paired with this motor powered mechanicala five-speed transmission. By the way, the first Soviet “Neve” was used chetyrehstolpnyj with «Lada-Troika”. Box has a common ailment. It makes a noise, and some transfers are included with a crunch.

On the dynamics of acceleration to speak of. In fact, this car is equipped with a slightly modified Soviet motor, which originates almost from the “penny”. Dispersal to hundred at the three-door «the Fields» takes 19 seconds (although the passport 17 seconds). Fuel consumption is relatively large - 10 litres on the highway and 13 in town. Top speed is 137 miles per hour.

Suspension

“field” became the first Russian SUV that was built not on a frame. As a carrier element used by the body itself. Power elements it is made of high strength steel grades. Front – independent suspension with shock absorbers and coil springs. The rear is a axle with coil springs. VAZ-2121 has a permanent all-wheel drive. Torque is evenly distributed along the axes in the ratio 50: 50.

Also VAZ-2121 is equipped with transfer case with reduction gear and forced locking center differential. All this gives the good characteristics of permeability.

Conclusion

So, we found the car «Lada Niva». As you can see, this car is not without drawbacks. She has an awkward and uncomfortable interior, the quality of the metal in question. On the other hand, it is the cheapest SUV with “honest” all-wheel drive, transfer box and locks. Thanks to the price of the car «Lada Niva” is out of the competition and has still relevance in the market.
