For most people, the Lada brand is associated with something Soviet, outdated and certainly not fashionable or modern. But last year, this company made a real revolution by releasing (so far only on the domestic market) the car Lada-Jeep-X-RAY.
Creation History
Why is this SUV so different from all previous models? The answer is very simple - the design of the model was developed by the famous Steve Mattin, who worked for such major companies as Volvo and Mercedes for more than nine years.
Why SUV? This also has a very simple and logical explanation. According to the research, it is SUVs and SUVs that are developing most dynamically now.
The origin of the name "Lada-Jeep-X-RAY" is connected with the design of the car, or rather with the combination of the radiator grille, headlights and air intake. The false radiator grille and slanted headlights form an absolutely clearly visible contour of the Latin "X" - the first letter in the model name.
Exterior design
Outside Lada-Jeep has smooth and dynamic lines of the body, inherent in city cars. A large volumetric emblem of the VAZ, located on the radiator grill, is well highlighted. Unlike previous models, it is made large and catchy, which means that the company itself has ceased to be "shy" of its products.
In addition to the innovative design, the new Lada-Jeep also has several details reminiscent of previous models: a shell-shaped hood, thin and long turn signals located above the headlights - these features make the car look like the legendary Lada-4x4 SUV.
Salon design
Lada-Jeep is designed for four people, for which separate seats are installed. An excellent design move is the panoramic roof, which gives the cabin an extra sense of spaciousness.
The dashboard is very high quality. Here we can note the speedometer, which is clearly distinguished from the rest of the instruments - this is a hint that the car is fast and dynamic. Some details, such as hidden LED lighting, give the car a somewhat futuristic look.
There are also controversial points, which include the English language of the interface. Perhaps this was done in order to export the model to the world market, or perhaps just a tribute to fashion.
Target Audience
According to AvtoVAZ management, Lada-Jeep-2012 is designed for young and middle-aged people who lead an active lifestyle and combine urban andcountry trips. Such a wide range of applications for this car is due, on the one hand, to the “urban” forms of the model, and, on the other hand, to good off-road qualities, which are provided by high ground clearance, small body overhangs and large wheel diameters.
Final view
Despite the fact that the Lada-Jeep looked more than spectacular at the presentation, production models will not look so chic. In addition to some functionality, the bend in the doorway will also be removed. Manufacturers explain this by the fact that each bend requires a lot of additional costs, which greatly affects the price of the machine.
So do not run to buy this model as soon as you see it in the picture - it is quite possible that in the production version it will not look so exotic at all.
