Model history
The founder of «калиновой» family became sedan as the most popular in Russia. Following appeared hatchback, on which the plant laid development of the European market (a significant part of the «Kalin-1119» plan to send on export). But in our country, along with a sedan, unchanged popular is also universal. He вместительнее and «грузоподъемнее» sedan. Only in our understanding of it is a kind of truck, allowing you to carry and people, and is quite voluminous load.
But in present-day Europe wagon is the sign of the efficiency of its owner. Body volume and carrying capacity by themselves are not so important - at the head of the corner convenience and practicality. It is on such a European - way gone creators of «калинового the station wagon (see. Gr, 2002, № 1).
Impressions workaholic or spacious «shed» car, in fact, does not produce. In profile it is something average between a full-size wagon and хэтчбеком: glass door can be visibly bent forward, rear overhang is small. Moreover, not only the base, but the total length of the car are the same with the saloon. It allowed to save on hardware - floor in the rear part of the body the same as the model 1118.
But a large glass tailgate - all of the same sign that is universal, and not hatchback. Line connector door above the lights comes on the sides of the body and roof. Thus, the gap total length of more than two meters bred in the zone of the greatest pressure and the probability of leaks in the salon, road dust and exhaust gas is reduced to a minimum. For all this is especially important because the perimeter of their cargo opening is very large, and the trunk is not practically isolated from the salon.
There is this decision one more advantage - as long as opening the door not «trapped» racks, glass, you can make great for a better view back across the interior mirror.
Luggage compartment «Kalina» on «universal» standards modest - 360 liters up to the level of the shelf (the sedan - 400 liters). However, if it is deleted, volume increases of up to 500 litres, and when folded seat only to the level of glass - almost 700 l.
The rear bumper is situated just above the floor level, and this increases the threshold of loading height, and the folded rear seats to form a gently sloping site.
The front part of the car or outside, or inside is no different from the already usual «Calin» with other bodies. The back seat is the same as in хэтчбеке. On it the same way you can comfortably accommodate three of us, so as not to disturb the neighbors shoulders. And this is when the length of the car's four meters!
Description of the model
Under the hood of the universal of the familiar engine capacity of 1.6 liters, wheels - 175/70R13, the suspension is the same as that of the basic model. Accordingly, the driving performance of the car change should not. Check it out.
It is so, and the impressions are the same as those from the sedan. On the smooth progress of this machine was not a bit harder, comfort remained at the conventional level.
A separate issue is visibility through the rear window. It is really more, than, for example, the «Lada-111», and is located closer to the driver. Because the «horizons» is much wider, the Parking is convenient. Sector work wiper blade 180 degrees, it is quite enough. However, the back of the brush in the rain had not often - intensive pollution of the glass begins only after 120 km/h.The door in the back to unlock button in the lid of the illumination of the rooms (you can, and out of the vehicle); the high - even the tall man did not touch her head. At the same time opens regiment, by improving access to the cargo area. Close the door handle on the upholstery - it always remains clean.
Dust of the road could not be found, as will believe on the word of the plant in the fact that the dust in the trunk is not podsasyvaet. The smell of exhaust gases, too, is not felt. However, even if the seals break, in the salon there is hardly anything that would delay - exhaust-pipe displayed in the «corner» of the rear overhang. For the final conclusions wait conveyor machine. Arrange the production of promise in this year.
«KALINA»-UNIVERSAL - is the most practical car family. With its publication in the light of AVTOVAZ completes the development of the whole model line of this project.
The high degree of unification of the family. Compact, functional, relatively inexpensive.
- To the beginning of the serial release of morally obsolete. No airbag, ABS.
Who will love «Lada Kalina» universal? Single-bin cut-body looks harmonious sedan and solid hatchback. In front of any changes: all the same naive «look» лупоглазых headlights and high risen «the nose». To identify the machine can be on the side: the more «heavy» tail.
The back part of the framed quite modestly: lamps немодной, pointed to the top of the form of slightly runs counter to the smooth curves of the body.
Universal seems more of a sedan that is actually a visual deception - size machines are identical (hatchback - on 19 cm shorter). But due to the almost vertical rear door access to the rear of the car became more comfortable, and the «kuzovok» will be able to overall load.
But we should not delude ourselves: the stored size of the machine cargo compartment not become much larger. In the normal state - 350, with the decomposition of the rear near - 650 litres. Plus the fact that the back of the sofa fold out in a ratio of 40:60 and allows to achieve almost flat platform.
Load volume up to the ledge is small, but access to it through a wide doorway perfect.
Down with the stuff with the screws and other inventions, ad nauseam the owners of the «tenth» family. However, for the sake of a simple transformation of the interior had to sacrifice rear head restraints. Taking into account that even for medium-sized passenger provides a convenient three-point seat belt, such neglect of the basic attributes of the security looks strange...
But there is no such пренебрежений in the other plan: for the first time «Kalina» is available with two front airbags. Here they are - the one integrated in the panel on «бардачком», the second reminds of itself has become more plump Central part of the steering wheel. There are pretensioners and belt, without them эйрбеги already are.
The main visible change in the front of the console - button climate control. However, in the course of our visit, the last revealed one more peculiarity: maintain the desired temperature she could not below 22 degrees. If you made less - and the system turned to the standard air-conditioner, suddenly freeze all the inhabitants of the interior.
Landing in «Kalina» has changed in many respects thanks to the new, convenient Czech chairs. Yes, and the driver's workplace is built correctly: the main regulators of the Central console withdrawn high enough, and the lower part of it is recessed down. So feet and freer, and on to the handles climate control or radio is not necessary.
Door trim panel and the General tone of plastic finally met in one color - elegant and, at the same time, немарко. Afflicts only that here and there you meet the bumps fitting plastic elements. Although, in comparison with the same «dozens», a step forward in terms of quality tangible.
In General salon is perceived as quite modern, and, importantly, the scoop on extraneous sounds - no «crickets», no shimmy...But will it be the same after 30 000-40 000 km of run?
Honest 160 mm ground clearance let the storm take the bumps and ruts, which was abundantly сдобрен our way. Sometimes one had the feeling that the car nose up against the obstacle, and on the base we get, in the best case, without the bumper, and with a broken radiator. But short overhangs, coupled with a good swing pendants, creating a small miracle - we flew at a speed bump height with good sidewalk and landed without the «breakdown» of the shock absorbers. Perhaps not every crossover stand such a mockery.
Chassis «Kalina» all's good with the bad road. In spite of the fact that the ratio of high roof and a fairly short base would result in a cross-swinging, nothing like this has not been observed.
Moreover: in tinctures pendants skillfully combined moderate hardness and excellent energy intensity. Some discomfort when driving feel only at speeds above 120 km/h, but rather, it is the wine of steering control.
It all has left dual impression. At the Parking lot, turn the steering wheel with электроусилителем is a pleasure: conveniently and easily, even in spite of the huge, by modern standards, 4.2 turns from lock to lock. But here's the needle crosses mark 60, 80, 100 km...and the wheel does not share with the driver information on the situation of wheels!
The same character showed a «Lada Priora», which, in General, it is not surprising: the mechanism of электроусилителя her the same. Change of the situation must already in this year the plant has worked out a new steering rack with a lower ratio. This will make the operation of the car sharper and better implement good, on the whole, the potential of the chassis.
Test car in the performance of the «Lux» could boast of the anti-lock braking system of the company Bosch. Integration of foreign mechanism was successful: activation predictable, and the brake pedal with good feedback.Besides, the car with ABS «shod» in the 14-inch tires, which resulted in an increase in the diameter of the front brake disc: «13th» the wheels are already here not deliver, but stops the car confident.
