Lada 2107. This model was very popular in its years, it was loved by millions of Soviet citizens. In the article you will learn the history of the development of the machine. Why has she become so popular? Why was she so loved? What was the beginning of the release of the VAZ-2107? Let's start with the events that happened earlier.

History

In the mid-1970s, there was a resonance in the city of Tolyatti (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). People were indignant that the cars were all the same, built on the basis of Fiat. The people who imported them and sold them did not understand what to do next. Indeed, at that time, the brand new VAZ 2101 and 2103 were also created on the platform of the Italian brand.

The society didn't like them at all. It was necessary to create something unique, interesting. Thus, they took the VAZ-2106 for the base, improved its design and technical part, but in a better way. This gave the plant popularity as well as universal recognition.

Italian comrade

Italian manufacturer awayleft his friend and started making his own models. They were not as popular as the new AvtoVAZ models. This is because the designers of his brand stamped everything the same. People got fed up with it. And in the world a new style was created, sharp. He had aggressive lines, the corners became straight. In general, the Lada 2107 was created exactly according to this design. It looked rather modest, albeit very futuristic, in a new way.

Meaning

Positions for the sale of their prestigious car were important for the Soviet automobile industry, so the specialists immediately started developing the Lada 2107. It was in 1982 that the first model was released. And the rush took place because competitors in the form of German and French brands were catching up and stepping on the feet of AvtoVAZ, which is why people switched to foreign cars. And this was not at all necessary for the manufacturer of Soviet cars.

Scale

Even before development, the innovations and options of the new Lada will not be at a high level, and, of course, they will need to be reworked. Therefore, after the release of the first, still unimproved model, the manufacturer will start producing the Standard, Lux and Station wagon models.

Platform

As mentioned above, the brand new "Lada 2107" was built on the basis of the Italian car Fiat-124. However, only partially. Let's consider this issue in more detail.

Labor

The manufacturer and his assistants should have done the impossible: turnold platform a new car, which will also be the best of the best. In essence, Lada 2107 is a modernization of old models. However, it was perceived by people as an original product.

Modernization

At that time there were many models of the VAZ-2107. Both ordinary and prestigious. And it was necessary to update the new model - not only the base, but also the next version, which had already been updated to the maximum speed. It was difficult to make the car unique.

Cheapening

In general, in order to make this car as affordable as possible (which the German competitor did not have), the manufacturer decided to save on body elements. He achieved the effect of prestige and made all these elements very cheap. From luxury there is only a word and a look. And so, in the new Lada 2107 at that time there was nothing solid. Yes, and all the emphasis was on the small elements that complement the body. Years of manufacture VAZ-2107: 1982-2012.

Differences

2105, which was released in 1980, was very different from the old models of the VAZ brand. And all because it had many technological innovations that were not available from competitors and, of course, from the predecessors of the car. The most important of these are: high-quality engine belt drive, door upholstery and seat upholstery made of polyurethane material. Headlights, front and rear, began to work differently. Their headlights began to be located in the engine compartment. In general, there were many other innovations that greatly influenced the car as a whole. Years of manufacture VAZ-2107 - 1982-2012.

Interior

Basic modellost many of the elements of decoration. All because it was too cheap to have prestigious inserts in the car. In particular, it did not have elements in chrome, and the radiator grille was completely different. Bumpers and wheels - also without chrome. Replaced this part with aluminum and plastic. Yes, because of this, sales of the modification fell slightly, but not significantly. The loss of chrome objects has made it look much more modern, which is a plus.

Style

Innovations in terms of technology have already been made and tested, there are no questions about them. But there have always been problems with design and innovations have been observed. Every year new models with different design elements were released. Every 365 days something changed in the car. In general, progress has not stood still here. Artists, designers, designers worked as diligently and quickly as possible. The VAZ-2107 was supposed to differ from the 2105 model, but each was so improved in appearance that it was almost impossible to change the 2107 for the better and more respectable. The last year of production of the VAZ-2107 is 2012.

Kudos

In Europe, the luxury car segment began with the new Mercedes-Benz S-class. Next came the hero of our article - "Lada 2107". Everything was so good that this car was considered really similar to the best sedans of those times from German manufacturers. Therefore, manufacturers from year to year tried to maintain this position, tried, did everything wisely and invested a lot of money.

Such an achievement is one of the most remarkable inhistory of the automotive industry of the Russian Federation. It is worth emphasizing that the artists and designers of the Soviet era were indeed given difficult work. They had to make such a beautiful style and depict it on paper that Brezhnev Leonid Ilyich himself should have liked it. After all, he loved the brand new "Lada 2107" and even partly sponsored the plant where it was produced. In general, this car was really significant for our country. It was no worse than German cars. The last year of production of the VAZ-2107 is 2012.

Conclusion

"I want to be a Mercedes" - such a nickname was given to the brand new "Lada 2107". After all, manufacturers tried to make it very prestigious, luxurious, like German brand cars. Yes, in part it looks like the best sedan of the time, but it is still far from that. And it's not because manufacturers don't know how to make cars, but because people want cheaper but more productive cars. People in the Russian Federation want to save money. Years of production of VAZ-2107: from 1982 to 2012.
