History
An updated sedan of VAZ-2115 was created in the framework of the project Samara-2, the work on which started in the beginning of 90-ies. And, thinking first of all about the new appearance of two-wheel drive cars in Togliatti did not forget and about aerodynamics. Thus, in 1993 the team of designers VAZ arrived at Dmitrov auto range - work over the style of the updated machines вазовцы decided to right in a wind tunnel!
Started with the removed standard bumpers with conventional cars VAZ-21093 and VAZ-21099, and in their place put a new, which вылепили from plasticine. The corners of clay bumpers designers noticeably скруглили, and along the lower edge of the side doors had developed moldings-rapids, «затекающие» on the edges of the wings. On the same technology was made and a new, slightly more than a long and pointed muzzle. Complement the appearance of a small fender on the trunk lid.
After a few «blowdown» sessions in the wind tunnel, in the course of which form all parts subjected to optimization, designers came to the final variant of clay «armor». And went back to Togliatti. And already after a few months in Dmitrov drove embodied in metal and plastic «live» Samara-2! It was hatchbacks VAZ-2113 and a VAZ-2114 " an alternative to «восьмеркам» and «девяткам» - and sedan VAZ-2115, which was to replace the «ninety-ninth» model.
VAZ-2115 became the firstborn from the line under the conditional name «Samara-2», which is a shallow modernization of the models of the family of a Satellite/Samara. VAZ-2115 is an рестайлинговую модельВАЗ-21099. From the predecessor, the new model features a new cover of the trunk, new front and rear optics, bumpers painted in body colour, spoiler trunk lid with the optional stop sign, radomes thresholds, mouldings doors, as well as the new center and modernized equipment.
Then came the crisis. The main forces and means at the plant were thrown on the finishing works on a «top ten», and financing of the project Samara-2 was severely curtailed. And as a result of three vehicles to mass production decided to bring so far only VAZ-2115. On it it has been spent almost two years.
In comparison with the predecessor (VAZ-21099) - VAZ 2115 extend to 225 mm. Notably changed the appearance of the machine - changed the front and rear, renovated salon, with the side walls, doors and roof remained the same. The new model distinguishes the front part of the body with the original front headlamps, the amended form of the bonnet and front wings, new rear lights and paste between them, bumpers painted in body colour, spoiler trunk lid with the optional stop sign, moldings doors, fairings thresholds, the new boot lid with the connector on the level of the floor. There is a new efficient lighting.
A number of design decisions were taken from the «tenth» family VAZ - adjustable steering column, upper mounting points front safety belt, a combination of instruments. Rear number of the car, as at the «top ten», is located in the bumper.
The vehicle shall be established by the 1.5 and 1.6 - liter gasoline engines. Initially produced a version with карбюраторным engine. But came out in 2001 modification to the engine with distributed injection of fuel. For increase of durability of work and reduction of noise at idle provides for a new slave clutch disc with vibration damper idle.
Indication block of the onboard control system carries information on the closing of the door lock, unbelted safety belts, the extreme wear of the brake pads, left key of the ignition, oil level, coolant and washer fluid. The new design of the heater ensures effective heating of the passenger compartment.
In 1997, sedan VAZ 2115 began collecting in the Experimental-industrial production (bpd), with 2001, the Assembly has started and on the Assembly line. Currently, VAZ 2115 is located in a broad sell, there are three variants of execution: standard (21150-20), norm (21150-21) and Lux (21150-22). For the price of a vehicle occupies an intermediate position between the "Самарами" and "tenth" family.
The appearance of the car has changed considerably - changed the front and rear, renovated salon, with the side walls, doors and roof remained the same. The new model distinguishes the front part of the body with the original front headlamps, the amended form of the bonnet and front wings, new rear lights and paste between them, bumpers painted in body colour, spoiler trunk lid with the optional stop sign, moldings doors, fairings thresholds, the new boot lid with the connector on the level of the floor. There is a new efficient lighting. Modernization has noticeably improved, осовременила the appearance of car, as well as improved aerodynamics of the car.Salon of the car VAZ-2115 become more comfortable, a new more convenient and perfect the instrument panel, with a more streamlined and ergonomic shape, pushbutton switches with backlit display and the indicator lamps, adjustable steering column, steering wheel from the "tenth" family, "console between the front seats. The new design of the heater ensures effective heating of the passenger compartment. Standard equipment includes on-Board system alerts the driver of the closing door lock, незастегнутых safety belts, left in the lock of ignition key, the level of oil and coolant in the engine, the extreme wear of the brake pads. Luggage compartment became more spacious and convenient, due to the increase of the trunk lid. Power units are similar VAZ-21099.
On vehicles using the 1.5-liter gasoline engines as carburetor, as well as with the electronic control system of injection of fuel with a 5-speed mechanical gearbox. Initially produced a version with карбюраторным engine. Came out in 2001 modification of VAZ 2115i with injection (VAZ 2111) engine with distributed injection of fuel. For increase of durability of work and reduction of noise at idle provides for a new slave clutch disc with vibration damper idle.
The first time the «allied» cars VAZ-21099 and VAZ-2115 produced at the factory in parallel. While в2004 year fifteenth model is not completely replaced the VAZ-21099.
In 2008, VAZ-2115 underwent cosmetic changes in appearance, so that a little closer to comply with the criteria of modern automobile fashion. So, for example, the old wide trim on the doors of the car, being sprayed with plant in grey color, gave place to new, narrow молдингам same colour as the body which, nevertheless, look not very harmoniously, given the unchanged design bumpers. And the stripes on the front and the back bumper of a steel plant be painted in body colour, which, in the opinion of the minority, visually improve the exterior appearance of car, as, in the opinion of the aesthetes, much worsened and опреснило the whole appearance of the car.
At the present moment VAZ-2115 is widely sold throughout Russia. There are two main items: the «standard» and «Lux».
Description of design
Cars VAZ-2115 - modernization of the car VAZ-21099. From the predecessor model distinguishes the new front part of the body with the original front headlamps, the amended form of the bonnet and front wings, new lights and paste between them, bumpers painted in body colour, spoiler trunk lid with the optional stop sign, moldings doors, fairings thresholds, the new boot lid.

Benefits and advantages of cars LADA SAMARA - 115 - the comfortable interior, more convenient and perfect the instrument panel, roomy and comfortable due to the increase of the cover, a Luggage office, a high-motion quality, good handling and stability on various types of roads. The new design of the heater ensures effective heating of the passenger compartment.
Initially, the plans of modernization of the line Samara-2 was to change not only the exterior of the body and trim, but also the improvement of the suspension, transmission and brake systems. However, in the end, all the nodes have been borrowed from the Samara-1 without any significant changes. That made it possible to achieve a high degree of unification with the «ninth» family. But realised improve the external appearance of, went to the car obviously in favour. The car has received more streamlined, thanks to what have left in the past angular shape of the exterior, the characteristic of the first generation Samar. It is much more convenient became the loading of the things in the trunk is now loading height is at the level of the bumper. And more perfect injection engine develops more power, uses less fuel and faster progress. In addition, the electronic engine management system monitors the level of toxicity of exhaust gases.
There was also an improvement electrical equipment. Now in the vehicle includes: power Windows, front doors, as well as fog lamps, heated seats (only in the «luxury» modifications). For all of the variants provides for the on-Board control system, which allows to monitor the proper operation of the lamps, oil level, wear of brake blocks, and the level of cooling and washing liquids, right from the driver's seat.
For experimental-industrial modification of VAZ-2115 (from 1997 to 2000.) established carburetor engines VAZ-21083 the working volume of 1499 cm3 and a power of 71,6 HP. Since 2000, when the car is launched into mass production, it began to establish new ones at that moment the engines of VAZ-2111 with distributed injection of fuel, the working volume of 1499 cm3 and a power of 77,8 HP. And in 2008 the engine VAZ-2111 has changed more than the new, improved injection engine VAZ-11183, with increased to 1596 cm3 displacement and power 80,9 HP.
Thanks to a modified form of the body is improved aerodynamics of the car. In the design of the applied new facial stamped parts, modified plastic bumper, additional lining of the side doors, fairings thresholds sex, boot lid with the connector on the level of the floor. Provides a new headlights, the original design of the rear lighting. The new instrument panel has a more streamlined and ergonomic shape, pushbutton switches with lighting and control lamp indication block of the onboard control system, carrying the information about closing of the door lock, unbelted safety belts, the extreme wear of the brake pads, left key of the ignition, oil level, coolant and washer fluid.
