Last year, at the beginning of autumn, a new Lada Kalina Cross model, a new development of the Volga automakers, went on sale. The machine has received the latest technical developments and is in line with fashion, reflecting the intentions of the manufacturer. The concept of "practicality" helped this car rise to a high level, while changing the very definition of comfort.
Some of the manufacturer's delights
"Kalina Cross" has a very high degree of patency. Suspension upgraded compared to previous counterparts. New tires with a larger profile make driving even more comfortable. The updated settings of the suspension units are responsible for the stability and quality of control of the Kalina. On tests, the car received the highest rating, inspiring many experts. Before us is a real compact crossover. The only difference between this car and the usual large SUV is only the front-wheel drive.
Auto "Kalina Cross": specifications
The universal machine is based on conventional andWe are all familiar with the set. At the same time, Kalina 2 (Cross) has slightly different technical characteristics. The sides of the bumper are made in a new way, the wheel arch is slightly transformed. Fairings on the threshold of the floor began to look more elegant. Black moldings were placed on the doors. The bumper trims are silver. Particular attention deserves the interior of the car. Orange can be found everywhere. This is the steering wheel, and the seats, as well as the trim on the doors. In addition, this year a new Kalina Cross car entered the market, the technical characteristics of which are supplemented by a noise isolation package. There was a modern power steering. An improved airbag makes the car even more reliable. Now it is possible to heat the front seats. Among other things, Kalina Cross supplemented the technical specifications with the introduced ABS and a new audio system. The changes also affected the power unit. The engine has 16 valves, while the predecessor has only 8. Its power is 106 horsepower. The economical engine complements the Kalina Cross car, the technical characteristics of which are worthy of all praise. Now the volume is 1.6 liters, which makes the car profitable not only on the highway, but also in urban conditions.
Under the hood
The engine has a distributed electronic fuel injection system. Maximum power is available at 5100 rpm. With a combined driving cycle, the car spends up to 7 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. The engine is petrol. If youinterested in "Kalina Cross", the technical characteristics of which we describe, you should also know that the car has a high speed. It is 175 kilometers per hour. The previous analogue of "Kalina" reached only 164 kilometers. The engine is controlled by a five-speed manual gearbox.
Chassis and suspension
Changes also affected the suspension. At the front there are valve shock absorbers with a new design strut. The stiffness of the spring has been increased. The compression buffer on the rear suspension is 70mm. There is a stabilizer for increasing the diameter. Now the car's ground clearance has increased by 23 mm. Larger wheels led to changes in the steering system. The rake has decreased. This is done so that the wheels do not touch the fenders when turning the car. Therefore, the turning radius of Kalina has increased slightly. Of all the electronic devices of the car, it is worth mentioning the anti-lock brake system, the emergency stop amplifier. This also includes an updated airbag and an auxiliary brake light. With the latest equipment, Lada Kalina Cross becomes even safer and more comfortable, which brings it to a new progressive level. The only drawback of the car is the long-awaited all-wheel drive, which, unfortunately, is not yet available. In northern latitudes, this feature would greatly improve the car and make it even more popular. Nevertheless, it remains to wait and hope that all-wheel drive will appear in the near future. While we have to be content with only the front. In general, the car canconsider profitable and reliable.
Innovative "Kalina Cross": specifications, price and conclusions
Today, the car is available in only one type of configuration - "Norma". "Kalina" has a total cost of 470,000 rubles on the Russian market. Compared to the previous model, this is 40 thousand more expensive. However, the price is quite justified. The introduction of modern technologies in a unique car could not but affect the pricing policy. In the future, experts predict that the cost will decrease slightly. For the first time the sale of "Kalina Cross" has already gained considerable fame and popularity in Russia and Kazakhstan in particular.
