The modern automotive market is more diverse than ever. Most large manufacturers create dozens of models, occupying the narrowest niches in the struggle for a picky and extremely demanding customer. In Russia, domestic cars that came out from under the wing of AvtoVAZ are quite popular. In this article we will talk with you about one of the models of this company - VAZ-211440. Interior and exterior design, handling, specifications, tuning options - you'll find it all below.

Redesign

This model left the assembly line in 2007 (the serial production of the original 2114th began in April 2003), earning unheard of popularity among millions of drivers. VAZ-211440 is a 5-door hatchback, also known by another name - "Samara-2". It is a modernization of the VAZ-2109 (in the common people - "nine"). Most of the changes affected the front of the body, they significantly influenced the appearance of the car. Model releasebecame a continuation of the trend, implying the sale of "family" cars, well adapted for Russian roads. The latter, as you know, are not of impeccable quality. The production of the VAZ-211440 modification, the photo of which is presented in our article, continued until December 2013.

For 10 years of production (basic version 2114), the car has become one of the best-selling models ever released from the walls of AvtoVAZ. The car is the best option for a family car for people on a limited budget. Its cost ranges from 150 to 200 thousand rubles. By the way, the model was originally called VAZ-2114, but since 2003, the production of a modification with an improved engine and an environmental class began. Our hero is an amazing car that combines good technical characteristics, comfort and design. In 2013, it was replaced by the Lada Priora, which also became popular.

Car appearance

The exterior of the car deserves many praises, although there is not the slightest hint of luxury here. The model attracts the eye with smooth lines and nice slanted optics. Looking at the car from different angles, it can be noted that the design of the VAZ-211440 compares favorably with its predecessor with a new hood, bumper, headlights and radiator lining. The design of the car has become more European, reminiscent of some models of Renault, Dacia and Opel. Such adaptation to Western counterparts has attracted a lot of attention from potential buyers who need this car.immediately relished it. New fenders and moldings are two other elements that have undergone noticeable changes. As for the bumper, it was slightly raised relative to the ground so that the car could travel not only along city streets, but also country roads. The rear of the body has not changed much.

The VAZ-211440 car has become much more stable and maneuverable while driving, which was facilitated by a low landing. Stunning aerodynamic qualities allow you to feel more confident on the road, which is good news. Engineers completed the car with 14-inch wheels on stamped disks. The dimensions have not changed much since the time of the “nine”, being 4.12 meters long, 1.65 meters wide and 1.4 meters high.

Car interior

As in the case of the appearance, the interior of our heroine has become more ennobled, impressing with modern design and equipment. Of course, Western competitors remain far ahead, but the price of a Russian car is appropriate. Despite the relatively cheap materials and hard plastics, it is pleasant to be inside the car. Some of the details are frankly pleasing to the eye. In the maximum configuration, the hatchback boasts a good dashboard, on-board computer, heated seats, power windows for the front doors, a new torpedo and a heating system. In general, a lot of work has been done. Despite the use of mostly inexpensive materials in the decoration, good ergonomics and docking of panels in the interior immediately givesfeeling of good quality and thoughtfulness of every detail.

The on-board computer displays the necessary minimum of useful information. It is felt that the developers have thought about sound insulation. The sounds of the engine and the environment now do not penetrate so clearly into the cabin, making the trip more comfortable and more enjoyable. Of course, this is a curiosity for drivers who have switched from younger models.

The car is very spacious, it can easily accommodate five adults. The rear row of seats has the ability to fold, allowing you to significantly increase the volume of the trunk. The latter is especially true for long trips or transportation of bulky items. Finally, the car doors were equipped with a special mechanism that allowed them to open almost 90 degrees, which made it easier to get on and off.

VAZ-211440: specifications, fuel consumption and gearbox

When the model was announced, no one expected a big breakthrough. Before us is a typical state employee with an 82-horsepower 1.5-liter engine. The power figure has increased since its predecessor, where it was 72 horsepower. Initially, the car was equipped with an 8-valve engine with a volume of 1.5 liters, but in 2009, engineers changed this part (modifications VAZ 211440-26 and 211440-24) to a more productive one, installing a 16-valve gasoline engine with a volume of 1.6 liters. Power increased to 89 horsepower.

In this model, the position of the catalyst was shifted towards the motor. In the "nine" it was located under the bottom. The engine, in turn, was dressed indecorative cover. As for the transmission, the car is equipped with a 5-speed “mechanics” and a reinforced clutch. Transmission moves are carried out simply and without much effort. Tandem motor - box as a whole is not bad. Fuel consumption in the urban cycle is less than 7 liters per 100 kilometers. Finally, we will provide figures characterizing the technical characteristics in the VAZ-211440 car regarding speeding up. The car is capable of developing 185 km / h. Acceleration to 100 km / h is achieved in 11 seconds, which is quite good for this class.

Management

Surely many are interested in the question: "What is the car in motion and how is it controlled?" The answer is quite predictable - better than all of its predecessors. The car behaves quite accommodating on the road. On sharp turns it does not skid, and the trajectory does not change as sharply and chaotically as was observed in the younger models. Picking up high speed, the car behaves predictably, and overtaking is given to it without much difficulty, despite the weak technical component.

Decent-sized potholes, pits, various kinds of irregularities, tram rails - all this is passed without squeaks, knocks and breakdowns. Suspension dense, moderately hard. The body does not creak, and the plastic does not make annoying sounds either.

Car tuning

Speaking of car tuning, one should take into account many subtleties that arise during such an interesting process. When tuning the VAZ-211440, spare parts for which are not very expensive, you need to remember about the standards that require coordination with competent persons. Before you startimprove your car, you must contact the traffic police, providing them with an application that says about the planned changes in the design of the car. This is a mandatory item, neglecting which, you can get a rather big fine. Further, officials issue a permit containing the conditions for the execution and procedure for issuing a document confirming the technical safety of the car. If global changes are planned, an assessment of specialists is required, as well as attached technical documentation.

At the end of the technical work, the owner of the machine must submit another application, where you need to specify all the changes made, their scale and quality. Then the owner of the car sends it for technical inspection, after which the data is recorded in the registration documents. There is a lot of work, as you can see.

Engine Tuning

Seriously considering the issue of tuning for such a car as VAZ (Lada) 211440, it is worth noting the fact that the car is perfect for such a bold undertaking. A professional upgrade will allow her to reach insane speeds, up to 200 km/h, and will also give her excellent handling. There are many tuning packages prepared for this model, tailored to different needs and wishes. If you want to "squeeze" the maximum out of the car, there are all possibilities for this. Spare parts can be purchased at car markets and specialized stores. Fortunately, there are quite a few of them.

One of the most popular modifications is the improvementengine, which allows you to significantly increase the power of the base engine or completely replace it with a sports analogue. For a small tuning, it is enough to flash the control unit, as well as replace a few factory parts. After simple actions, the performance of the power unit can increase by 10-15%. If you want to further improve the engine, you need to change the cylinder head, bore the valves and install a new mechanism that distributes gas.

For true extreme sports there are radical methods to increase the power of the motor. For example, you can put a turbine on the VAZ-11440 engine or replace the old crankshaft with a sports version with an increased piston stroke. The latter will provide more torque, increasing the performance of the power unit. This option is quite risky, so the decision must be approached thoughtfully. There are also factory modifications of the engine, an example of which is the VAZ-211440 engine. 11183 with increased torque.

When tuning the gearbox, you need to replace the gear ratios. The main gear and the row are selected depending on the specific types of engine, which you will be told in detail in workshops and shops. Self-locking differentials can greatly increase the transmission of torque to the wheels of the car, allowing you to seriously increase the traction "on the bottom" during hard acceleration.

Suspension upgrade

Basic characteristic VAZ-211440 has a good suspension that allows you to drive on Russian roads without any problems. Nonethelessfine tuning will make it stiffer, for which you need to get high-quality shock absorbers. In order to reduce roll angles, the installation of rigid anti-roll bars is recommended.

Don't forget about the wheels if you plan on tuning the suspension. The visual component comes to the fore. For the "fourteenth" there is a wide variety of alloy wheels available in many speci alty shops and markets.

Improve the appearance

Well, and where without the exterior? Perhaps one of the most popular tuning elements designed to improve the appearance of a car is aerodynamic body kits. The car becomes much more beautiful and spectacular, attracting the eyes of passers-by and other drivers. Bumpers, moldings, rear-view mirrors, spoilers - there are a lot of tuning options. Quality parts are very expensive, which must be taken into account. In certain scenarios, the price of all spare parts may exceed the cost of the machine itself. VAZ-211440 2010 release now costs about 150 thousand rubles. At the same time, headlights alone can cost 30-40 thousand rubles. The most spectacular design is achieved through the painstaking work of engineers reworking body parts. As a rule, the latter consist of introducing air intakes on the roof and hood, installing a spoiler and side curbs, painting individual parts of the body, and the like.

Interior tuning

The last type of tuning is the interior upgrade. Most enthusiasts install LED lighting on the dashboard, which looks very stylish. You can replace the chairs with sports versions or more comfortable ones made from quality materials. Loading the machine with all kinds of equipment is another way to improve. Acoustic system, GPS-navigator, heaped up on-board computer - there is a place for everything. Finish tuning can be tinted windows. The main thing is not to overdo it. The interior of the VAZ-211440 is rather conservative and boring, so tuning will only benefit the car.

In closing

The Russian auto industry enjoys considerable popularity throughout the post-Soviet space. In every city or village, you can find dozens of cars that came off the assembly line of the Volga plant. In this article, we talked about one of the modifications of the VAZ-2114 - VAZ-211440, the technical characteristics of which have been slightly improved relative to the base model. In the entire history of the plant, this car has become one of the best-selling cars due to its good interior and exterior design, as well as good engine power, which allows it to pick up speed. The presence of many tuning packages only further popularized the car, which is still in considerable demand in the market.
