Not everyone understands the brand of a car only by its number, such as VAZ-11183. This car has a different, more well-known name - "Lada Grant". The characteristics and history of the machine will be discussed later in the article.

History of Creation

The car VAZ-11183 (the photo is presented in the article), or in other words the "Lada Kalina" sedan, began to be produced back in 2004 and "lived" until 2013, after which it was modernized and received a different name - Lada Granta. Although the very idea of creating a sedan and the first developments appeared back in the distant 90s, it entered the project only in the 2000s.

General Features

"Lada Kalina" was produced in standard, norm, luxury trim levels, but over the past time the level of trim levels has grown. Considering in more detail the characteristics of the VAZ-11183, you can see that some models have air conditioners, parking sensors, a standard audio system and other modern equipment.

Once, offering new design and technical equipment, developers andThey could not think that in a few years they would become customary for the production of the Volga Automobile Plant. For the first time on the "Lada Kalina" appeared: power steering in the basic equipment, new possibilities for transforming the interior, original color schemes.

Also, for the first time, two airbags, an ABS system appeared on the Lada Kalina sedan, and an improved engine and steering wheel from the Lada Priora were installed, some trim levels have heated front seats, power windows, central locking, as well as front fog lights.

The article presents photos of the VAZ-11183: the interior and separately the body of the car. You can distinguish these cars from the rest in the stream by the side mirrors. Their top is painted in body color.

Specifications

In short, the technical characteristics of the VAZ-11183 car are practically no different from other versions of Kalina (hatchback and station wagon). Except for one difference - a modified body.

VAZ-11183 is a class B car with a relatively small trunk, but it is quite suitable for the city if you need to go to a store or transport any small-sized cargo - four car tires can easily be placed there.

As a bonus to all technical characteristics, light weight and a powerful engine allow the car to easily break away on the road from front-wheel drive VAZs of an earlier release.

Reviews aboutVAZ-11183

This car is very popular among domestic motorists, so you can find countless reviews about it. Based on them, a list of the pros and cons of this car was compiled.

So, the main advantages of the car:

1. Reliability. This car is quite reliable in terms of assembly and is not at all afraid of harsh Russian roads. You can safely ride it on country roads.
2. Economy. A fairly economical engine and low fuel consumption, unless of course you change all consumables in time and don’t particularly “force” the car. In general, the city consumption is about 8 liters per 100 km, on the highway 6 liters per 100 km, the combined cycle is 7 liters per 100 km.
3. VAZ-11183 has a relatively quiet interior compared to other VAZ families.
4. Good ground clearance. Sufficient clearance for domestic roads. The car is not low, but not high. And most importantly, it does not sag on the rear wheels, unlike the same "Priora".
5. Roomy interior. Although it looks small from the outside, there is enough space inside for a comfortable ride.
6. Availability of spare parts. There are a lot of spare parts for this car. Starting from the official VAZ and ending with the Chinese.
7. Good stove. Works great in winter.
8. Reliable engine. If you have a 1.6-liter 8-valve engine, then you will never have problems, as well as with a 16-valve one.
9. Inexpensive service.
10. Good visibility.

Flaws:

1. Too stiff suspension. Although this is not a serious disadvantage.
2. Weak thrust bearings. Because of this, racks often knock.
3. Problem oven. Despite the fact that the stove blows and works perfectly, it often fails. Considered a weakness.
4. Poorly matched steering fork mounting points. They are attached to the lowest point, under the bumper, due to which any wrong movement or collision with the curb can disable them.
5. Hard plastic. Creaks appear, although not very audible.
6. Fixing the fuse cover. Fairly weak fastenings, sag over time.

In conclusion, it is worth saying that the car is quite reliable, and its budgetary maintenance makes it even better and more attractive for car owners. Comfortable car for driving on domestic roads.
