The production of a new VAZ car is due to the desire to update the concern's classics. That is, the popular "Grant" should take the place of the domestic "seven". It should become just as accessible and unpretentious, so that every Russian can buy it. But at the time, the VAZ concern made a bet on the modern appearance of the Lada Grant in this model, it is very reminiscent of the Logan. This step is dictated by the fact that today's motorist is no longer ready to buy a car "just to drive." Drivers want to have an inexpensive but modern car, and the affordable Lada Granta is just such an option. This car has already become very popular with Russians, and this popularity is growing all the time. According to the results of recent years, Lada Granta has proved to be the best-selling car in Russia.
Space of choice
It should be noted that the configurations of the "Lada Granta" are different, or rather, there are only three of them: these are the "Lada Granta Standard", "Lada Granta Norma", and also "Lada Granta Lux". The manufacturer, that is, the VAZ concern, deliberately took such a step in order to diversify the Russian automotive market. These models differ in configuration and price, but most importantly - in engine power. It should be noted that the engine, equal in volume to 1.6 liters, is the base for all models, but its modifications are different. In addition, the external data of the models have differences. Comfort and safety increase in proportion to the price.
Also, models have a difference in security level. In addition, the configurations of the "Lada Grant" differ in terms of comfort. Concern VAZ specially introduced into production several variants of "Grants" so that the buyer could choose a car according to his means. That is, if the main thing for a motorist is appearance, and not the filling of the car, then he will be able to save money, and if the consumer needs "full stuffing", then this option is also available. And since 2013, hatchbacks of this model have also been on sale.
Lada Granta Standard
First of all, it should be noted that "Lada Granta" (standard equipment) is simple and has only the most necessary options. That is, the car has only one airbag, which is designed for the driver. Further, "Lada Granta Standard" is equipped with an eight-valve engine with a volume of 1.6 liters, whose power is 80 horsepower. The appearance of this "Grant" is also simple: the bumpers are not painted, there are no caps and grilles. But there are stamped 13-inch wheels and daytime runningheadlights, which gives it some kind of solidity.
From indicators of comfort of movement in this configuration there is nothing, glass is colorless, there is no electronics. There are inertial seat belts, and also a mount for child seats is included, but the cost of "Lada Grants Standard" is also the lowest and most affordable.
Lada Granta Norma
The second type of lineup is the Lada Granta Norma. Its equipment is already more saturated, and the cost, accordingly, is slightly higher. The exterior of this model already has two body-colored bumpers and daytime running lights. Norma also has stamped wheels, and they come in 14-inch sizes. In this configuration, "Lada Granta" also has one airbag for the driver, there is a fastener for a child seat. There are also hubcaps and molding grilles, which, of course, appeal to young drivers. The interior of "Norma" is represented by upholstery of doors with high-quality decorative inserts. This medium equipment is qualitatively more comfortable, due to the presence of a steering column height adjustment. In addition, there is an electric power steering for the convenience of the driver. Front power windows are also available. The glasses, like those of the "Standard", are colorless, but the cabin air filter is built in. In addition, there is an electric tailgate lock.
Electronics "Grants Norm" is quite solid. This means the presence of a central lock and an on-board computer. For the owner's peace of mind, a burglar alarm function is built in. The engine of this modification is also 1.6 liters, but its power is already 90 horsepower. That is, we can state with confidence that this is an average and quite acceptable option for the consumer.
Lada Granta Lux
The next model is the best luxury equipment in the Lada Granta line, the most saturated. The engine for this model is installed in a volume of 1.6 liters, but it has 16 valves. The power of this unit is 98 horsepower, a similar engine is installed on the Priora. The comfort of this configuration is due to the height adjustment of the steering wheel, electric power steering and power windows of all four windows. Grants Lux also has athermal windows, and the air enters the cabin through an air filter. Heated exterior mirrors and their electric drive, as well as climate control and air conditioning. In addition, it is equipped with heated front seats and an electric tailgate lock. I must say that this is already a completely modern equipment, which no domestic passenger car had before.
The appearance of this configuration of the "Lada Grant" is represented by bumpers in the color of the body and daylight in the headlights. Cast 14-inch wheels and a molding grille on the radiator give this "Grant" solidity, there are also door moldings. The exterior mirrors are painted in a specific body color and the exterior door frames are black. The overall look of the luxury model is quite modern and boldly competes with many foreign cars.
The interior of the cabin also has all the necessary characteristics, the doors are trimmed with fabric with decorative inserts, there is a lining of thresholds and a container for glasses. The back seat is separate. In addition, the luxury "Grants" has a central lock. Management controls the on-board computer. The security alarm function is available, as is the audio system. Moreover, in the "Lux" package, the door locks and trunk lid can be controlled from a remote control. That is, we can say that the modern "Lada Granta Lux" can compete with many foreign cars.
Prospects
These are the basic configurations of Lada Grants, but the VAZ concern did not stop there. Observing the sales of "Grants", the producers came to the conclusion that the experiment was a success, and it is slowly ousting even "Kalina" from the market. Many companies buy "Granta" in large quantities to work as a taxi and for the official needs of their employees. Therefore, "Lada Granta" -2013, the equipment of which can be in the format of "Standard", "Norma" and "Lux", has acquired a hatchback modification. This is a completely modern car, which systematically takes its place on Russian roads. Young drivers, especially women, are veryfell in love with "Granta" for its elegance and style.
Popularity
In general, it becomes clear that Lada Granta has firmly taken its position in the automotive market, and in the coming years it is unlikely that another domestic car will be able to displace it. The pricing policy of VAZ is slowly changing, and the simple equipment "Grants" is getting cheaper. In addition, the most economical car enthusiasts buy a car directly from the manufacturer's factory, which allows them to save about fifty thousand in their wallet. According to the results of 2013, Lada Granta, along with such a car as Hyundai Solaris, was recognized as the most popular car of the year.
Prices
VAZ "Lada Granta" configuration and price is for every taste and budget. "Lada Granta Standard", on average, in salons costs from 239,000 rubles, "Lada Granta Norma" costs from 269,000 rubles, and the best "Lada Granta Lux" costs from 300,000 rubles.
