The appearance of the new Lada Granta (at first everyone expected the release of a hatchback) AvtoVAZ fans have been waiting for three years. This event was repeatedly postponed, but it nevertheless took place at the end of 2013, and already in May 2014, the serial production of the Lada Grant (liftback) model started. Feedback from satisfied owners of the predecessor of the novelty largely influenced its popularity.

The director of AvtoVAZ, Bo Andersson, personally handled the presentation of the car. He spoke about the advantages and possibilities of the novelty. This indicates that the manufacturer is seriously counting on this model. In addition, the company first released a car in a body type liftback.

Design

The liftback is built on a sedan platform, so it has a lot in common with its older brother. At the same time, the car is seriously different from the sedan in appearance, having a less pronounced budget look: the designers managed to give the new product sportiness andmodern appearance. New bumpers with contrasting black inserts, a fog lamp on the stern and the presence of a fifth door are the main differences between the “rustic” look of the sedan and the new model of the Lada Granta car (liftback). The photo is a vivid confirmation of this.

One of the main features of the car is the original rear part with attractive lighting equipment placed on it. The model also received new side mirrors and alloy wheels with a sporty touch, available in expensive trim levels of the Lada Granta (liftback).

Interior

Salon liftback also inherited from the sedan, but with minor amendments and additions. AvtoVAZ employees finalized the rear door panels, gave the gearshift lever a new design, and the top versions of the car were supplemented with a silver edging for door handrails and air intakes located on the front panel. Apart from the new stitching pattern, the seats are new from the sedan in their original form.

Free space in the five-seater liftback is no less than its predecessor. At the same time, the volume of the luggage compartment was reduced from the previous 520 liters to 440 liters. With the second row seats folded down, the trunk capacity increases to 760 liters.

The V4 aspirated engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a maximum power of 87 liters became the base. With. at 5100 rpm

The second engine is a modified version of the "younger" engine, supplemented by a 16-valve timing, so that its power increased to 98 hp. With. at 5600 rpm At the same time, the torque also increased to 145 Nm at 4000 rpm.

For their quality work, experts recommend using A-95 gasoline for the Lada Granta car (liftback). Reviews say that it is acceptable to drive on lower quality fuel, but this can lead to premature breakdowns.

Transmission, suspension

The basic transmission is a five-speed manual gearbox, previously known to motorists from the Lada Granta sedan. Expensive versions of the model can be equipped with a four-speed automatic transmission. The declared consumption of the car in the combined cycle is as follows: with 87- and 98-horsepower engines operating with 5MKPP, it is 7, 0 and 6,7 l / 100 km, respectively, and with a 106-horsepower unit working in conjunction with 4automatic transmission, it is 7.6 l.

Front suspension is represented by independent MacPherson struts, rear - semi-independent torsion beam. Together they form a soft and smooth ride of the Lada Granta car (liftback). A test drive showed her thoughtfulness and good work.
