Technical characteristics of Lada Granta. Trunk volume of Lada Granta Granta sedan and hatchback trunk volume

In the vastness of the domestic market, the promising modification of the Lada Granta has acquired enviable popularity. The main advantage is its affordable cost. This factor determines the priority of the domestic buyer when choosing a car. In addition, there is an excellent opportunity to acquire a multifunctional, high-quality and practical sedan car. Before buying a car, many people are interested in what is the trunk volume of a Lada Granta?

About capacity and size

Among the main consumer qualities of the Lada Grant is an impressive trunk volume, which, in its geometric characteristics, can compete with the best models from global manufacturers. Based on the manufacturer's data, we can estimate the trunk size as 480 liters.

This figure brings the domestic model closer to the car of the world famous French manufacturer Renault - the Logan model, which has a trunk size of 510 liters. This parameter for the “Frenchman” was formed on the basis of the theoretical calculations of the developer, and it was assigned to the Granta sedan on the basis of numerous factory tests and experiments. In addition, the cost of Renault compared to the price of Lada Grant is fabulous.

Many people recall the famous statement of the President of the Russian Federation during the Granta screening at an event in Togliatti. Having looked at the trunk of the presented car, the Head of State summarized that at least 2 bags of potatoes can fit into this trunk. This incident immediately prompted the developers to conduct an experiment on maximum trunk capacity.

As a result of lengthy tests, it was established that 6 bags of potatoes can be placed in the trunk of a car, the weight of each of which in the standard ranges from 32-35 kg.

Distinctive aspects of the trunk of the Grant sedan

Initially, the Lada Granta, a sedan, was positioned by manufacturers as a car for the family. Therefore, its practicality should imply the ability to transport an impressive number of goods. For these purposes, the developers have provided a one-piece design of the rear seats, which, if necessary, makes it possible to dismantle and remove it from the interior space. If you fold the rear seat, there is a significant area for storing cargo. The volume of the transformed luggage compartment reaches 960 liters, helping to increase the functionality of the car.

These experiments did not stop the developers, and they moved further in this direction. They found that the sedan can accommodate up to 11 water containers, each of which has a volume of 20 liters, three rolls of woven mesh 1.5 m wide and 15 m long each. All this is contained in the trunk of the model.

The spaciousness of the LADA Granta is amazing, because it can transport 4 wheels, household items, for example, a washing machine and other necessary cargo. This became possible thanks to the geometric data that the trunk has and its impressive capacity.
The disadvantage of the model was the need to manually support the luggage compartment lid when loading items into it. To solve this problem, you will need to install a special additional device that allows you to maintain the lid in the open position. This device is a gas stop. These stops are attached to standard holes, so there is no need for drilling.

The noise insulation properties of the trunk in any car are not the last factor that ensures acoustic comfort when moving.

To apply insulating material to the interior of the trunk, perform the following steps:

  • dismantle the decorative upholstery;
  • clean and degrease the surface intended for application;
  • For the first layer, adhesive vibration isolating agent is suitable;
  • cut out “cards” of the required size from its roll;
  • use an industrial hair dryer to heat the surface of the sheet covered with bitumen;
  • then we glue the so-called “vibra” onto the prepared body surface;
  • then roll the pasted material over the surface with a hard roller.

The second soundproofing layer is applied overlapping. At this point, the process of installing the insulating coating can be considered complete.
The luggage compartment lock is not without its shortcomings. It is unlocked manually, but many owners install an electric drive, which modernizes the car.

Despite all the shortcomings that are present in the LADA Granta, we can say with confidence that its consumer properties (practicality, versatility, impressive trunk volume, maintainability, etc.) sufficiently impress domestic car enthusiasts, as a result of which they are simply not able to find the strength to refuse the profitable purchase of this car. It is very rational to have a modern LADA Granta model in your arsenal today, since it is able to please its owner both on everyday trips and on long-distance voyages.

Many buyers, when choosing a suitable domestic car, first of all study the data on the model’s capacity. And this check concerns not only the interior, but also the trunk.

The larger the volume of the compartment, the more opportunities for using transport. And for the modern Lada Granta the volume is as much as 520 liters. This indicator is quite enough to practically use the car for any purpose.

Trunk of Lada Granta: how spacious is the compartment of the car?

The standard figure of 520 liters easily increases to 960 liters with the rear seats folded down. The borrowed space from the cabin allows the driver to make practical use of all the available space.

In addition, Grant's large trunk volume makes it possible to engage in work in trade or product advertising. The spacious compartment will be useful for both merchandisers and representatives of various companies. It will be quite convenient to carry promotional products with you or distribute new products to customers.

For many buyers, in addition to the volume indicator itself, the dimensional parameters of the luggage compartment are also extremely important. For the modern Lada Granta they are: length 104 cm (with the 2nd row seats folded down), internal width 135 cm, internal height 61 cm (excluding the carpet).

But when loading, it is worth taking into account external indicators, since the dimensions of the trunk opening are somewhat smaller. The opening width is slightly more than 130 cm, so when loading the car you need to build on this figure. At the same time, the width between the roof hinges is 92 cm, which must be taken into account when transporting any equipment.

Is it possible to use the Lada Granta as a family car?

Traveling with the whole family to the sea or to nature by car can only be carried out if the capacity of the vehicle allows you to take with you everything you need for relaxation. These can be personal belongings, sets of tents, camping equipment (tables and tables, barbecues), children's things and accessories, a spare tire for repairs on the road.

For married couples without children, it is important to remember about the possibility of a practical increase, in which the trunk volume of the Grant will almost double. Removing the second row is not difficult and the owner can perform the work according to the following instructions:

1. The seats are completely removed.

2. The backrests of the second row seats fold down.

3. The bolts on the brackets are unscrewed.

4. Carefully remove the second row of seats.

This kind of work can be done by any Granta owner and allows you to maximize trunk capacity. It is recommended to remove the bolts from the fastenings into the glove compartment, although even if lost, they are not difficult to purchase at any car store.

Installation of the second row is performed in the reverse order and does not require additional adjustments. It is best to carry out the removal work together, since careless removal of the seats can lead to scratching the threshold or door trim. The assistant will be able to hold the row, thereby eliminating the problem of the inconvenience of removing the seats.

All the examples given make it possible to understand how practical domestic cars are both for the work of carriers or couriers, and for personal use. The stylish Granta trunk volume, which can be increased by 440 liters, can be used for any purpose.

It is worth remembering to carefully load the car and the above restrictions on the opening. It is recommended to prepare a cover in advance to protect the lower part of the opening and the bumper. Careful operation will prevent the possibility of damage to the rear of the car when moving heavy loads into the trunk.

The domestic automobile market offers buyers a modern modification of the Lada Granta. The main advantage of the machine is its low cost. It is this factor that ensures that domestic car enthusiasts prioritize among cars. The trunk of the Lada Granta is the second distinctive feature of the new product, distinguishing it from its competitors.

Liftback

With the rear row of seats folded, the trunk volume of the Lada Granta liftback reaches 770 liters. When the seats are in the standard position, the compartment holds 440 liters. The Lada Granta with a trunk of such volume surpassed the European Volkswagen Golf hatchback in the usual passenger row position. This is the first liftback model among domestic cars produced by AvtoVAZ.

Dimensions of the Lada Granta trunk in several planes (in centimeters):

  • length – 103 cm;
  • length with seats folded - 158 cm;
  • width of the narrowest part – 94 cm;
  • width of the widest section – 132 cm;
  • height – 529 cm.

The overhead luggage compartment can be easily removed. Judging by the reviews of the owners, transporting large items on the Lada Granta is quite convenient. Side niches are suitable for storing tools or carrying hand luggage. Above the recesses there are hangers designed for bags.

On the left above the niche there is a lamp that is activated when the low beam is on. This solution allows you to comfortably load and unload the luggage compartment in cloudy weather or at night. The main thing is not to forget to turn on the head optics first.

The developers placed a spare tire, wheel wrenches and a jack under the trunk mat. There is enough space in the niche to accommodate a 16-inch wheel. In addition to the spare tire, the lower compartment will also accommodate a tool kit.

Sedan

Since motorists are interested in the specific dimensions of the luggage compartment, let’s consider them in liters and centimeters. In a domestic B-class car, the trunk volume is 550 liters with the seats up. If the rear row is lowered, the trunk volume of the Lada Granta sedan will increase to 960 liters.

Dimensions of the compartment for transporting things:

  • length with passenger seats raised – 103 cm;
  • length with passenger seats lowered – 164 cm;
  • width of the narrow part – 94 cm;
  • width of the wide part – 132 cm;
  • height at the narrowest part – 48 cm;
  • height in a wide area - 573 cm.
  • The advantage of the unusual shape of the trunk of the Lada Granta sedan: convenience when placing baby strollers.

Features and disadvantages of the luggage compartment

It is worth mentioning the possibility of folding the rear row of seats. Maximum capacity can only be achieved by removing the passenger row head restraints. In addition, the front seats will have to be moved as far as possible towards the dashboard. Additionally, it is worth protecting the standard coating with a rubber mat so that it does not become unusable during the first months of using the car.

Installing a subwoofer in the trunk of a Granta is problematic. This element of the audio system takes up a lot of space, so it will no longer be possible to transport bulky cargo. In addition, the subwoofer is at risk of damage.

Other features of Lada Granta luggage racks:

  1. You can lock the fifth door with a button on the key.
  2. It will not be possible to open the fifth door automatically; you will have to do it manually.
  3. The luggage compartment lid handle is uncomfortable and resembles a small recess in shape.
  4. When closing the fifth door, you can’t hear the lock latching, so at first
  5. you have to check whether the door is closed all the way.

The liftback trunk lid is noticeably heavier than that of the hatchback. Sometimes the lock does not work properly: when opening it from the interior, the fifth door does not close on the first try. In the closed position of the body, spring torsion bars interfere with the transportation of goods. When transporting large items (furniture, household appliances), the fifth door may not close. The lid is not lined with sound insulation, which can create additional noise in the cabin.

Considering the low cost of the car, its shortcomings can be neglected. The developers sought to create a spacious luggage compartment with a small wheelbase. Domestic car enthusiasts liked this solution, which ensured the wide popularity of the new models.

The Lada Granta, in addition to the traditional four-door version, has a hatchback modification, also called a liftback. body of shorter length, and its ground clearance, on the contrary, is greater. The trunk lid of the Lada Granta liftback is made together with the rear window, which makes the car unlike traditional hatchbacks. But one of the main characteristics that interests car enthusiasts is the trunk volume of the Lada Granta liftback.

Full characteristics of the trunk

With the rear seats folded down they are 770 liters, and in normal condition - 440. Among production VAZs, this is the first liftback in history. In terms of luggage compartment volume, the new Granta has left behind even the Volkswagen Golf, one of the most popular hatchbacks in the world. However, on the Golf with the rear seats folded down, the trunk volume increases to 1200 liters, which the Lada designers failed to do due to the desire to maintain the same wheelbase as the sedan.

So, what will real owners say about the size and? On the Internet you can find many photos taken by owners of the domestic liftback. Car owners are sometimes quite surprised at how many different things a new car can accommodate. But it turns out that with a large trunk volume, not everything is as rosy as described in the advertisement.

The Grant's rear seats can only be folded when the front seats are pushed all the way forward. In this case, the rear head restraints must first be unscrewed. The top parcel shelf can be easily removed, which is very useful if you need to transport something large. The volume, of course, is not added, but the load does not rest against anything. In the photo the shelf is raised. In the niches on the right and left you can place medium-sized bags, and, if necessary, a strategic set of tools for car repairs on your own.

Above these recesses there are hangers for packages: now there is no need to clutter up the rear seats with them. There is a light above the left niche, but it only works if the driver turns on the low beam headlights. In cloudy weather and in the evening it’s a good addition, but considering that you can forget to turn on the low beam, it’s not very convenient.

Under the trunk mat there is traditionally a spare wheel along with a standard set of jack and wheel wrench. It turns out that you can put a larger diameter wheel in this place without any problems if, for example, the owner wants to install 16-inch wheels. There will still be room for tools. This is easy to find out by looking at the photo.


did not receive flattering reviews. It is no longer possible to attach a “motorist’s bag” to it with Velcro, and the quality of the mat’s material is worse than it could be. And the trunk really needs a rubber mat. A pile covering is not suitable for this role, since, firstly, it can be damaged by the leakage of various liquids, and secondly, it will collect all the dirt and dust from the luggage compartment.

The rubber coating in the Granta's trunk easily fits on top of the usual one. But, if you store something in the spare wheel recess, you need to take into account that one mat will rest against the side niches of the trunk and bend, and if you put some things above the spare wheel, they will fall into the resulting recess.

Features and disadvantages of the luggage compartment

As practice has shown, a subwoofer cannot be placed in the trunk of a liftback without the risk of damaging it. If installed, it will no longer be possible to transport bulk cargo. Thus, it is better to choose practicality over unnecessary aesthetics. The trunk lid opens, or rather, unlocks, with a special button on the key. You have to open it upwards with your hands, which means you cannot avoid dirt on your palms and clothes. Another drawback is obvious - if you forget the key in the ignition, you will have to return for it.

The trunk handles are described by users as unusual and uncomfortable, more like recesses; they can be seen and appreciated in the photo. The compartment slams silently, you even have to make sure it is closed. In addition, the fifth door is a bit heavy; it needs to be slightly pushed to tilt up. Pressing the trunk release button in the cabin (it is not standard) sometimes prevents the lid from closing, causing the lock to malfunction. You need to press the button again so that the lock takes its proper place and the lid finally closes.

Not everything is comfortable and stylish and beautiful. But the minor shortcomings of the liftback can be neglected. This is the design: either tolerate it or not. The luggage compartment opening itself turned out to be quite wide, which is certainly useful for summer residents. This can be seen in the photo. In terms of its silhouette, the hatchback looks much faster and prettier than the sedan. It was not easy to fit a large trunk into the strictly chosen wheelbase, which is why the inconveniences described above resulted.

But since the Granta is cheaper than its competitors and is quite to the liking of people who like to travel comfortably with the whole family, taking with them half the benefits of civilization, the car is simply doomed to success. Granta is a serious step towards a qualitative leap in automotive products in the city of Tolyatti and a reason for Russians to be proud.

No one will tell the “grant driver” that he has a typical summer resident’s car. Going on a picnic, fishing, or hunting in such a car is also an easy task, because the dimensions allow you to take everything you need into nature. In general, car owners have a positive impression of the liftback.

And regarding the luggage compartment - do not forget to switch to low beam in the dark, do not put the things you need in the spare wheel tray, buy a different rubber mat, change the location of the tools, do not install a subwoofer and learn how to open and close the lid, and the trunk will be excellent .

Please note that two ignition keys are included with the liftback. The one with the red mark on the end is best stored separately from the worker, since it opens both the doors and the trunk. You can separately purchase a trim for the trunk along with a set of tools and a seal. It is installed using the included screws.

The installation can be done alone, but, according to the advice of experienced car enthusiasts, it is better to do it together. Perhaps additional noise insulation would not hurt, since it remained the weak link: impacts of stones and oncoming air flows are very clearly felt by ear when driving.

What is the Lada Granta liftback and what are its technical characteristics? Fuel consumption of Lada Grants with automatic transmission

September 30th, 2015 Admin

By the mid-2000s, old VAZ models - the classic Zhiguli and the updated Samara family - were hopelessly outdated and required urgent replacement with a new car. Other models, Kalina and Priora, were good, but poorly suited to the role of a truly budget car. Therefore, the plant began to develop such a car, taking as a basis the rather successful design of the Kalina, which resulted in the Lada Granta sedan, which entered the assembly line in 2011. The car immediately became a bestseller, and huge queues formed at car dealerships. Over the 4 years of production, the car was regularly modernized, receiving new gearboxes, a “Sport” version with a more powerful engine, a “liftback” body option, an updated appearance, etc. Today we will tell you in detail about the Lada Granta family, the technical component of these cars, equipment and prices.

Characteristics of the Lada Granta interior

The interior is typical for a budget car. The gray plastic of the dashboard doesn't even try to seem soft. There is nothing superfluous on the dashboard - a speedometer, a tachometer, a scattering of pentagrams and a trip computer screen. It is simple and informative. The same can be said about the “twists” who manage the operation of the stove and air conditioner. The only thing that stands out on the front panel is the screen of the multimedia system equipped with a touchpad. It has good performance, but mediocre brightness: when exposed to sunlight, it becomes impossible to read data from the screen.

But the rear passengers have practically nothing except seats and a roof over their heads - no ashtray, no USB connector, no niches in the rear doors where they could put anything, only pockets on the backs of the front seats. However, this is normal for a budget car.

Lada Granta - dimensions, ground clearance

The entire Lada Granta family is class B in size. If we talk about the sedan, the length of the Lada Granta sedan is 4.26 m, the width reaches 1.7 m, and the height is 1.5 m. The liftback has a length even smaller - 4.246 m, height and width remained unchanged. The wheelbase of both cars is the same: 2.476 m. The front track of the car is larger than the rear: 1.43 m versus 1.414 m. The clearance of the Lada Granta when fully loaded reaches 16 cm. As for the curb weight, it is 1.075 tons (for the liftback - 1.085 t.), and the total is 1.56 t. for both cars.

Naturally, the trunk volume of Lada Grants also varies. Oddly enough, the sedan has more - 480 hp, which is 40 hp. more liftback indicators. However, everything changes if you fold the seats: then the volume increases to 760 liters. All cars in the family are front-wheel drive, with a transverse engine. The steering is a classic rack and pinion design. The front suspension is independent, made according to the MacPherson pattern. The rear design is simpler - spring, semi-independent. The front brakes are disc brakes, with ventilation, and the rear brakes are traditional for budget VAZs - drum brakes. The gas tank of all cars is the same - 50 liters.

Lada Granta - engine specifications, fuel consumption

The engine line of the Lada Granta family includes 5 power units. All of them run on gasoline and have a working volume of 1.6 liters. 2 of them have the old 8 valve design, all the others have 4 valves per cylinder.

First motor has a power of only 82 hp. and a torque of 132 Nm. Naturally, the dynamics of a car with such an engine are far from impressive: acceleration to “hundreds” takes 12.6 seconds, and you won’t be able to go more than 165 km/h. In mixed mode, fuel consumption per 100 km of the Lada Granta is 7.4 liters.

Second motor more powerful than the first by 5 hp. (87 “horses”). Its torque reaches 140 Nm. This has little effect on the dynamic characteristics: acceleration to 100 km/h takes 12.4 seconds, and the “maximum speed” is almost the same – 167 km/h. Gasoline consumption is exactly 7 liters. per 100 km. ways.

Third motor boasts a power of 98 hp. and a torque of 145 Nm. With it, the car reaches “hundreds” much more vigorously, spending 11.4 seconds, and the maximum speed increases to 172 km/h. The “appetite” of this unit is very moderate: only 6.8 liters. in mixed mode.

Fourth motor is a modernized version of the third. Thanks to some changes in the design (primarily, a different connecting rod and piston group), it already produces 106 “horses” and the torque reaches 148 Nm. With this engine, Granta reaches 100 km/h in 10.9 s. and can accelerate to 183 km/h. The unit consumes only 6.7 liters. per 100 km.

Fifth power plant installed only on Granta Sport. The motor generates 118 hp. and 154 Nm of torque, as a result of which the car accelerates to 100 km/h in 9.5 s. and demonstrates a top speed of 197 km/h. Fuel consumption is higher than other engines: this unit will require 7.8 liters. gasoline per 100 km.

It should be noted that the above dynamics data is valid for a sedan car equipped with a manual transmission. As for fuel consumption, we mean mixed mode. The parameters of cars with other gearboxes and/or with a liftback body differ slightly.

Transmission Features

To date, the Lada Granta family is equipped with 3 types of gearboxes. Firstly, it is a 5-speed manual transmission with cable drive. Secondly, it is a robotic transmission created on the basis of a manual transmission with the same number of gears. And thirdly, a licensed automatic transmission “Jatco” with 4 steps. Of course, “robot” and “automatic” are not installed in all trim levels. However, more on this below.

VAZ pays close attention to the long-standing problems of domestic cars - low corrosion resistance of the body. For this reason, the bodies of all cars currently produced in Samara are thoroughly galvanized. “Granta” is no exception. Since it and Kalina have much in common in design, the degree of galvanization, as well as the total number of parts subjected to this procedure, are largely similar. VAZ gives a guarantee that the body will not be rust-free for 6 years.

Painting work is carried out in a separate workshop using special equipment purchased from the German manufacturer Eisenmann. Similar painting robots are used by foreign car factories throughout Europe. All welding work is also carried out on a robotic production line, which was developed together with the Kuka company (by the way, also German). Since AvtoVAZ works closely with the Renault-Nissan alliance, the companies supplying various components for assembly were subjected to strict selection using French-Japanese methods. Among these enterprises, there are those that supply parts for both Granta and Kalina. Unification significantly improves all technological processes. In addition, a number of companies expanded cooperation with VAZ and created joint ventures, as a result of which the quality of supplied products and labor productivity increased.

Lada Granta configuration and prices 2015

"Lada Granta" is offered in 3 trim levels called "Standard", "Norma" and "Lux". Here we will look at the sedan's equipment options.

The basic package is difficult to describe, since it has virtually no options, with the exception of a driver's airbag (even ABS is missing). The gearbox is manual, and the engine is the weakest possible. How much does the basic equipment of the Lada Granta cost? – price range: 360,000 – 363,000 rub.
