Lada
Largus
Lada Largus or (RF-90) is a car of high capacity. Represents an adapted for the Russian market of automobile Dacia Logan MCV 2006, produced in Romania. The joint project of «Renault» and «AVTOVAZ» on the platform B0.
This machine release under the names of Dacia Logan MCV, Nissan Aprio, Mahindra Renault Logan MCV, Renault Tondar in Romania (Pitesti), Brazil (Curitiba), Colombia (Энвигадо), India (Nashik), Morocco (Casablanca) and Iran. In fact, it is well-known, since may 2009, occupying the first place among foreign cars in sales ratings, Renault Logan, only in the back of "universal".
The first Lada car Largus descended from the conveyor of «AVTOVAZ» 17 июня2011; and the first assembled cars were intended for factory testing[2]. Serial production of Largus started on April 4, 2012, the new line of B0, the first joint project of AVTOVAZ and Renault-Nissan Alliance. The line is designed for production of 70 thousand. Lada Largus, 70 thousand. Nissan Almera and 140 thousand cars of mark Renault's investment in its creation, amounted to about 400 million euros.
Lada Largus available in two versions: passenger R90 (five - and seven-wagon) and cargo van F90. Localization of production, at the time of launch constituted more than 50 %, as expected, in the future will be brought up to 72 %. The expected retail price of the station wagon is 349-460 thousand rubles., the van - 319-390 th., depending on a complete set[3].
External differences Largus from Dacia Logan MCV are in the other lattice of a radiator, a fully engineered engineers
History of creation
In 2008 AVTOVAZ has acquired from Renault right to Assembly and distribution under the brand Lada cars, built on platforms R90, F90 and B0, as well as the license for the production of engines Renault (volume of 1,4 and 1,6 litres). All together, according to rumors, the cost of the WHA in 220 million euros. For a presentation on the Russian market "Project R90″ has acquired the original name - Lada Largus, that in translation from Latin means «generous». The General public the product of the domestic automobile industry named now Lada Largus was already shown at the Moscow motor show in 2010.
A little bit about the basic machine. When you create it used only computer design methods. The car, which has "everything": переднемоторный, переднеприводный. The front suspension is borrowed from Renault Clio second-generation, rear - Renault Modus. The Declaration of suspension intensified with a view of the most full weight of the car. Steering - from Renault Symbol, a five-speed manual gearbox and clutch - from Renault Megane of the second generation.
Appearance is largely due to the use of easy-to-stamping body panels and cheap in the manufacture of glass small curvature, as well as large of rotomolded plastic details of interior (front panel, door shell). A little about the interior. The desire for unification, the most likely result in the presence of the front panel and door cards from hatchback Sandero, the steering wheel of the Renault Clio, middle of the head restraint in the rear seat, Central three-point safety belt, as well as the adjustment of steering column height (in some configurations). All this in the language of developers is called "Platform B0".
The Russian version will differ from the "Europeans" appearance: large headlights, other bumper, radiator grille and the rear lights. In addition, States that, in certain installations will be present passenger front airbags and side airbags, as well as a system of fixture for the mounting of child seats.
Overall dimensions of the station wagon exceed the parameters of the Logan sedan.
«The novelty of the» full copies of Renault Logan MCV, except that a slightly modified facing фальшрадиаторной bars and logo LADA. The serial production of the station wagon Lada Ларгус started in the second quarter of 2012. Up to this point were carried out technical testing (according to the information of AVTOVAZ).
Testing is good, but in the case of Largus a bit strange, because the ancestor of Logan MCV is available in 2006, successfully sold on the world markets and its technical features for this time in the literal sense of the studied along and across. Model Logan MCV is built on the extended platform Renault Logan and proved itself as a reliable and unpretentious car. A rhetorical question: what тольяттинцы can add to this?
Exterior and interior
Speaking about the design of the Lada Largus, many beautiful words can not write. All simple, without raisins. The front part of the car looks bland, even in comparison with Logan MCV. Headlights, bumper to the fog - all the same. The sides of the body straight, with the big area of glazing. The shape of the body Lada Largus designed to ensure that surround the inner content, it's even more than just a station wagon. Use of the «generous» of VAZ - be the vehicle for all occasions (Multi Convivial Vehicle). Original rear hinged doors uniting French-Romanian-Russian product with a minibus.
Impressive dimensions allow Largus claim the title of the largest car To the representatives of the class. Length - 4473 mm, width - 1740 mm, height - 1640 mm (with courses 1674 mm), the base - 2905 mm, the clearance of - 160 mm, there Are three modifications of auto: 5-local, 7-berth and a cargo van. Guest - the key strength of this car. Straps version of the Luggage compartment of a modest - a total of 198 litres. But quintuple option has already 700 litres of usable volume, and folding second-row get 2350 litres. Cargo version is a 2-seater van with the volume of the cargo area 2540 litres and capacity 797 kg. The spare wheel is located under the vehicle.Inner dimensions of the Lada Largus allow you to place three rows of seats. The Russian version, as import donor, depending on a complete set has five or семиместным center. It can be assumed that the interior of the wagon Largus will be a copy of Logan MCV. And that means a buyer «new» AVTOVAZ waiting for simplicity and the Kingdom of cheap materials in the interior. Steering wheel, instruments, controls (buttons, switches) tactile not cause negative emotions... but настырное feeling бюджетности pursues in all the details. The measure of the comfortable seats of the first and the second row with a large margin over his head, which cannot be said about the balcony of the third row (enough room for children only) - with the awkward landing.
Fit place for themselves was not difficult, sit comfortably, review of wonderful in all directions. Steering wheel nice lay in his hands, the instrument panel is easy to read, the testimony of the on-Board computer provide a lot of useful information, pedal soft, with a long course of the clutch pedal. Unusual seemed algorithm shift: the longitudinal movement of длинноваты (1-2 or 3-4), but the cross with a minimum the «handles», for want of habit will be difficult to get in the right gear. Funny horn button, located at the end of the short switch. Running a motor - lived arrow instruments, the engine idle whispers. In the first row, all without reproach, plastics obvious thing hard, but fit the parts to each other ideally.
Click on the second row, the safety belt locks recessed into the seat cushion (decision correct, but upon landing don't forget it, otherwise the passenger waits unpleasant contact the details of the «fifth point»). Is enough space in width, the height of legs is where to put the three passengers. Pleasantly surprised by the chair of the third row in the balcony with the comfort of the rest of the adults passengers growth of 180 cm and will feel no worse than the rest of the crew. But one - the driver of the Lada Largus do not forget that there are two additional seats with passengers, as to the roughness of the road they are more likely to succumb to discomfort (seats are located on the rear wheels). Transformations of the interior mass of the seats, you can add, remove from the passenger compartment. From halfway version of Lada Ларгус with the volume of a Luggage compartment 198 litres easy to make a double from 2.5 cubic meters of useful volume. But how much load the result into this bottomless trunk... mother-in-law plugs exactly on the train did not go. Two rear doors of various sizes with comfortable lock position opening (three stages), from the half open to the «perpendicular to the car.» The spare wheel is located under the floor of the car, to get it is not difficult, but here is a pick up and put in place is quite difficult and will likely have to get dirty.
Now about the main features of the machine. The capacity of the Luggage compartment is modulated from 200 litres to halfway and 700 litres for the five-seat version, up to 1700 litres for a double configuration. VAZ said about the volume of 560 HP for пятимстной and 135 litres to halfway version.
The seats. The back seat is «book», and is placed vertically. Front seatback fit flush with the rear of the seat cushion, forming a flat sleeps. In the halfway versions of virtually the whole trunk is busy with a couch for two, which, however, can be easily and quickly lay down or removed completely. This is a place for the young and flexible. Others get there is not easy - the floor of the body tall. There though and roomy, but not very convenient: seats are almost on the floor. Besides prevents the middle belt triple back of the couch, just between the sixth and seventh heads.
Rear door vertically. The wide-leaf reliably protected from the wind in three positions - close to 60 degrees, at a right angle and wide-open. Each with their own castles on the top and bottom.
Design looks strong and reliable - distortions, noises and creaks in the movement to MCV is not mentioned. For vibroacoustic characteristics of the wagon is comparable with the «Lada-Priora». The noise level of the vehicle as a whole and the engine in particular become visible in the range above 3000 rpm. Starting properties are unique: in-27оС when depressed the clutch, without touching the accelerator pedal with the battery capacity of 40 A•h start is provided in the third second scroll through the starter motor.
But, by the way about the winter. After a snowfall snow from the roof will have to mend, otherwise when you open the door he falls into the salon. Tilt wheel in the rear overhang on the grid under the floor of the cargo compartment, and pulled the bolt from the inside. Objectively speaking, you can get an impression of weak accelerating dynamics at full load of the machine. May be increased fuel consumption at speeds above 120 km/h. Not going anywhere excessive windage. Depending on what machine You mind sitting on RF90, shift may seem viscous clutch late, and the brakes are unsure. The three-meter base objectively limit the geometrical cross-country ability, important on country roads, especially at full load. 50-litre tank modern universal, perhaps, is not enough.
Oh and I criticized his favorite car! It is worth considering that drives of equal length (right - through the extension to the bearing) excludes export of the vehicle in the direction of the acceleration, and on all parts (except for the system of issue) under the vehicle are located above amplifiers bottom, and employees for their protection on the roads. In addition, the vehicle of the inherent capacity and versatility. For small things can be equipped with shelves, scarves and pockets from the shelf under the roof between the first and second rows of seats to reticula the swinging doors at the rear.
Freight wagon has only two seats, deprived of the middle and rear rows of side Windows. Its load-carrying capacity of 800 kg, and a volume of the cargo area - 2500 l. Dimensions of the van allow you to place the burden of length up to 1936 millimeters.Now about security. Since the design of the machine is not changed, then there is a sense to remind the results of tests of the prototype. Euro NCAP rating: passenger - 19 points, the child - 31, pedestrian - 5. Because of the simplified design of the machine is slightly inferior to the level of passive safety of the latest cars of the same class. She had simple belts without преднатяжителей and constraints efforts, and in the basic configuration, only one airbag.
In the course of crash test conducted by an independent organization EuroNCAP - satisfactory level of passive safety (tested the car of the Romanian manufacturing). According to the results of the frontal crash-test - 8 points (out of 16 possible), and according to the results of the side - 11 points (out of 16 possible). Having received in the amount of 19 points, the car has earned a rating of «three stars» (out of five possible).
The Russian newspaper «auto review» conducted a frontal crash test Renault Logan Moscow Assembly on the same technical requirements, and that the tests EuroNCAP. By the results of the impact test car was awarded 12 points (out of 16 possible).
The difference with the result of the European crash test can be explained by differences in the technology of welding of the body in Romanian and Russian plants. What is the conclusion? I believe that my prediction is almost correct. Motor show will check and correct data on RF90. But already now we can say: the novelty is ideal for a large family, as well as for drivers who are looking for multifunctional spacious car.
Technical characteristics
With an interior and appearance of the sorted out, get behind the wheel and see what is the use of Lada Ларгус with petrol sixteen valve engine, meanwhile, according to the information of the representatives of VAZ, 105 «Russian horses», paired with a five-mechanics. In General tell you about the technical characteristics of the Lada Largus and test-drive.
Universal Largus pace accelerated, and that's passport 165 km/h reached, but the crawling and stops at 180 km/h. A good result for the family car. At high speed universal stable, lack of self-descriptiveness of the steering (the wheel of empty), the high side of sail of the body, suspension for excellent coverage of the test factory track comfortable and «silent». Empty car shows rigidity and if requests the load itself. Practically full load behavior of the car is shifted in the direction of comfort, running through the energetic clings to the asphalt and with an increase in speed as if glued to it. But it is not so interesting... should go on roads of the General using (everyone knows they differ from the ideal of the track) and it is desirable to ride along country lanes. Yama, the joint negligent road repair, rails - in the cabin of silence, no hint of a break of the suspension. In comparison with the «donor» Reno Logan MCV at the Russian Lada Ларгус become more powerful the front axle, increased the area of coating противошумной mastic, appeared in the arches антигравийные lining. Chassis Ларгуса and true successfully ignores the realities of Russian roads, the machine simply goes and the rustle of the rubber. Let's try to move on to a track. Suspension with long strokes gives an opportunity to easily navigate the pits and potholes, the clearance of 175 mm allows Lada Largus move confidently in the rut of not afraid to damage the body at the bottom. Super, everything is even better than might have been expected. A small but - long wheelbase (nearly 3 meters) can play a bad joke with the driver when moving through the deep wave pits or depressions, it is easy to calculate the stock of geometric road and catch a «peak» of the tubercle (future owners, take note).
Long ago a car with a logo of the VAZ in the grille and the steering wheel hub is not delivered as much positive emotions.
In terms of the technical characteristics of the Lada Largus will receive in the inheritance from the Renault-Dacia Logan MCV chassis. The front suspension of the pseudo-McPherson (transverse control arms, stabilizer of transverse stability), the back-N-beam (the suspension on the longitudinal control arms, connected beam that is attached to the back of the truck). Front ventilated disc brakes, rear with the mechanism (for an additional payment it is possible to install ABC). The universal Lada Ларгус will establish two petrol engine capacity of 1.6 liters (8-CL - 90 HP and 16-KL - 102 HP.) with the mechanics of the 5-speed gearbox (on the possibility of a complete set of automatic transmission with 4-dimensional transfers - until such opportunity will not).
Chassis inherited inherited from Renault-Dacia Logan MCV. The front suspension of the pseudo-McPherson (transverse control arms, stabilizer of transverse stability), the back-N-образнаябалка (the suspension on the longitudinal control arms, connected beam that is attached to the back of the truck). But in comparison with the «donor» on Largus become more powerful the front axle, increased the area of coating противошумной mastic, appeared in the arches антигравийные lining. Suspension energy-intensive, and on the roads with poor coating demonstrates excellent work. However, it should be remembered a long wheel base (2905 mm) and a radius of turn (11.5 meters). Front ventilated disc brakes, rear with the mechanism (for an additional payment it is possible to install ABC).
Suspension energy-intensive, with long passages of shock absorbers and reinforced rear springs. On the road prototype Lada Ларгус moves like a ship, majestic and well-paced. On the roads with poor coating demonstrates excellent work suspension. However, we should not forget about the bad geometric patency of the Logan MCV (base 2905 mm) and a large radius of a turn - 11.5 meters.It is not known how many will versions have Lada Largus, one can only assume that, by analogy with Renault Logan - three: Authentique, Expression, Prestige.
In addition to ABS in the list of options includes: air conditioning, power steering, adjustment of the driver's seat (in height, the seat and steering wheel), front electric Windows, reading MP3 files and CD format radio.
The safety of passengers intended to provide a three point seat belts, front and side airbags, Isofix system for mounting child seats. Body design meets the applicable European requirements on passive safety. One of the most important elements of passive safety-front subframe. He acts as an additional spar, which absorbs and redistributes the energy of the collision.
