How is the Russian auto industry ready to surprise this time? We are ready to lift the veil of secrecy and announce the first information about the long-awaited new product!

AvtoVAZ had high hopes for the new model, promising that Russian buyers would definitely like it.

Appearance

Of course, the presence of a rear overhang, which we did not observe in the "Kalina" in a similar body, will immediately catch your eye. If you continue to compare these 2 models, you can also notice that the new Lada Granta (hatchback) is made in a more elongated format. Its length is 4247 mm. Recall that the sedan is only 13 mm longer, and it was decided to leave the dimensions of the wheelbase the same. The 440-liter trunk cannot be called small-capacity, although it loses almost 100 liters to the sedan. True, the manufacturers have provided for its expansion by folding the back of the rear seat (maximum volume - 760 liters).

By the way, the new body type is not the only difference of the new modification, which "Grant" can boast of. The hatchback received an updated bumper, you can notice changes in the external design of the parking lights and headlights. The rear-view mirror also looked different.

An interesting move was the transfer of the license plate mount from the bumper of the car to the trunk lid.

At the same time, an engine of 108 liters promises to be the most economical in terms of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. with., he will need only 6.7 liters of gasoline. The first two options will, respectively, consume 7.0 and 7.6 liters when using a mixed cycle.

Now let's talk about the speed that these capacities can provide.

Unfortunately, modern buyers do not favor Russian-made cars, preferring foreign brands similar in cost and equipment. But the Lada Granta (sedan), despite such unfortunate statistics, became AvtoVAZ's best-selling car in 2013. Unfortunately, due to it, the company failed to raise sales to the required level. Therefore, it was decided to develop another modification of the VAZ-2104. Speaking about the cost of the novelty of the Russian car market, it should be noted that it promises to be more expensive than the previous sedan model. It depends primarily on the configuration of the car you have chosen. The minimum price of the "five-door" was called the amount of 314 thousand rubles. Equipment"Norma" will already cost you 32 thousand more (the cost is considered without additional improvements installed at the request of the owner). The "luxury" version allows both a manual gearbox and an automatic transmission. The minimum cost with a manual transmission will be 419,500 rubles, for an automatic transmission you will have to pay an additional amount of 58 thousand rubles.

Conclusion

The new "Grant" (hatchback) is perfect for the role of a family car, because it has a number of positive qualities for this: affordable price, high level of safety and good capacity. And thanks to the increased volume of the trunk and the modified shape of the body, it has now become easier to transport bulky cargo in this car, which is also, undoubtedly, an advantage of this model. At the same time, it will be possible to choose its complete set independently, based on personal desires and financial capabilities.
