Lada Kalina Cross has appeared on the Russian automotive market since last autumn. The technical characteristics of the new car impress many fans of off-road driving. How justified their expectations, we will discuss in this article.

Norma

This is the name of the only equipment in which the "Lada Kalina Cross" is presented. Specifications make the domestic car a comfortable and moderately powerful crossover.

The outlines of the body resemble a station wagon, on the basis of which the main load-bearing element of the cross-version of "Kalina" was developed. But, unlike the usual "Kalina", the body of this model has a pronounced brutality. 15-inch alloy wheels allowed the model to have an impressive ground clearance of 208 mm. And that's all about the new Kalina Cross.

Specifications of thiscrossovers leave the developers a large field for further work on improving the car. At the same time, the comfort of owners and passengers is provided by such features as:

• climate system;
• outside air filter;
• reinforced interior soundproofing;
• modern audio system with USB, Bluetooth and Handsfree interface;
• heated front seats and exterior mirrors;
• active driver safety element (airbag);
• cargo securing brackets in trunk.

All of the above features stimulate increased consumer interest, which caused its appearance "Lada Kalina Cross".

Engine specifications

Today this model is available on the market in two versions, equipped with the following types of power plant:

1. Eight-valve 1.6-liter petrol engine with 87 horsepower. s.
2. Sixteen-valve engine of the same displacement (produces 19 HP more).

These 19 horses give a tangible advantage. A conventional vosmiklapannik accelerates the car to 100 km / h in 12.2 seconds. A more advanced propulsion system reaches this level of speed 1.4 seconds faster.

The difference is also felt when overcoming difficult sections of the road - a pseudo-crossover with a sixteen-valve engine has more torque, which cannot but affect the driving performance of the Lada KalinaCross . The technical characteristics of the remaining components and assemblies have not changed and remain the same as with a less powerful engine.

It should also be added that the second engine is slightly more economical, only 0.3 liters. So, in the city, to overcome a hundred kilometers, he will need 9 liters of fuel, and outside the city - only 5.8 liters.

Transmission

The main components and assemblies of the new crossover are not much different from the usual "Kalina". Gearbox - mechanical five-speed. The main pair has a gear ratio of 3, 9. The rear suspension is semi-independent, lever. The front also has a classic independent design, similar to the "MacPherson".

The main advantage (increased cross-country ability) the model gained due to the greater ground clearance. Due to the increased diameter of the wheel, the clearance has increased by 7 mm. A specially tuned upgraded suspension added another 16 mm. The resulting 23 mm is a good result even for more serious crossover models.

Interior

The developers of this model have gone from the standard of interior coloring. No dullness and monotony: orange inserts hit the eyes of more conservative motorists. This design move can be called a bold experiment. Thanks to him, the car received a pronounced difference, making it a more youthful vehicle.

Some buyers speak negatively about interior colors. Nevertheless, no one is going to change the orange color, and buyers who wish to become owners of this car arethere is only one thing left - to accept into your life the tones that symbolize a strong and confident youth.

The front doors are equipped with power windows. Rear passengers received a separate row of seats and head restraints.

External aggressiveness of the car is emphasized by wide moldings running along the center line of the doors. The lines of the wheel arches and the thresholds of the car are also outlined by a wide continuous strip of black plastic, imperceptibly and drastically changing the appearance of the Lada Kalina.

The luggage compartment of the car cannot boast of its capacity - only 355 liters. But, as usual, by folding the rear seats, it can be increased by another 315 liters, which allows you to solve many household issues related to the transportation of goods.

Cost of Lada Kalina Cross

The price and technical characteristics of any car are always directly dependent on each other. So far, the only difference between the new product being produced is engine power.

A more perfect unit led to a rise in the price of the model by 10 thousand rubles. With this engine, the car costs 481,000 rubles, which makes it a very attractive item on the domestic car market.

Now you know the main technical characteristics of new items. "Lada Kalina Cross" can offer its owner not only more advanced off-road capabilities, but also comfort, practicality inoperation. The affordable price level makes this car a reality for many Russian car owners.
