VAZ-2190
VAZ-2190 Lada Grant - it's the new budget car Volga automobile plant.
First it was stated that its price will be about 190 thousand roubles. However, a little time has passed, and the price has increased up to 240 - 250 thousand roubles.
According to the plans of AVTOVAZ, the Grant should replace the classics, Lada Samara and Lada Calin, the production of which is planned to cease in 2011.
It was expected that the demonstration of the novelties of AVTOVAZ will be held at the Moscow motor show in 2010. But it is not fate: up to this time the developers did not publish the new people's car almost nothing.
In the Internet you can find a few spy photos, which give some idea of what it would be Lada Grant.
The name of this car was chosen from those offered by the participants of the contest, the winners of which received a new Lada Calin.
What else is known about the car?
1. The prototype for Lada Grants is a VAZ-1118 Lada Kalina. It is a database (chassis), the body, saloon, steering management. But there are differences: the length of the Lada Grants more, steering management will be more sensitive. If now the Lada Kalina to rotate the front wheel from lock to the left to the right steering wheel to turn off at 4 turnover, the Grant for this you need to make only 3 of the turnover.
2. The hood and the rear part of the body, as well as lighting significantly revised.
3. Not quite clear how the engine will be equipped with Lada Grant. According to some data for Grants will be made new 8 cylinder engine in volume of 1,6 litres. For a basis will be taken 16 valve engine of 1.6 from Lada Приоры. As a result, the engine will be easier приоровского with the same capacity.
4. The rear suspension was improved, with a negative collapse of the rear wheels. This innovation AVTOVAZ will significantly improve directional stability of the car, and would better take turns.
5. It is planned to 2012 on cars Lada Grant install automatic transmissions of the Japanese company Jatco. This will make the vehicle more convenient to travel around the city in a traffic jam.
6. AVTOVAZ also plans to establish an electronic system of engine control module (ECM), which is popularly called the «e-gas».
7. The first in the market will do Lada Grant VAZ-2190 sedan, and starting in 2012, it will be possible to buy VAZ - 2192 (hatchback) and VAZ-2194 (wagon). Earlier in respect of all stated that they will be called still Lada Kalina. The rest of Kalina will be removed from the production
The story of the
Initially the project (intra-plant designation car - VAZ-2190) had a working title of «Low cost» (low cost). The name for the car was selected from several thousand options, submitted in the framework of the declared AVTOVAZ contest «People's car - the common name». The winner of the competition became a resident of the city of Krasnoyarsk Pavel Zakharov, as a reward the author of the names of Lada Granta in the course of the Moscow motor show 2010 was solemnly awarded the Lada Kalina.
The history of the names of car Lada Grant
Initially the project (intra-plant designation car - VAZ-2190) had a working title of Low cost (low cost). Further Lada Granta as the name of the car was selected from several thousand options, submitted in the framework of the announced «AVTOVAZ» - the contest «People's car - the common name». The winner of the competition became a resident of the city of Krasnoyarsk Pavel Zakharov, as a reward the author of the names of Lada Granta in the course of the Moscow motor show 2010 was solemnly awarded the Lada Kalina.
Interior design of the Lada Grant entrusted Valentina Novikova. And the production of all of the same company «AE». The car will receive a new instrument panel, console above the Central tunnel, as well as improved upholstery of doors and seats. «AVTOVAZ» my challenge, desiring to improve the quality of products, while maintaining democratic price tag. For this purpose it is supposed to use 70% of components borrowed from LADA Kalina, and other details will be new.
As suppliers will be selected well-known brands: wipers, door locks from Valeo, power Windows VisteonBrose, ABS, ESP and speed sensors from Bosch, and the mounting of the child seat ISOFIX, airbags and seat belts from Takata.
The Congress of the Union of machine builders of Russia, which took place at the «AVTOVAZ» in may 2011, was marked by the opening of the budget model of Lada Granta (VAZ 2190). The novelty has replaced the «classics»- the latter of which was VAZ 2107 and marketing calculation of Lada Kalina (sedan).
In October 2011 started receiving orders for Lada Grant (in complete sets of Standard and Norm) with the supply of the customers in December 2011 AC March 2012. After a month with a small quota of 10,000 cars was selected and receive orders temporarily suspended.
The new bestseller on the Russian market Lada Granta, which caused such a high demand, deserves careful attention and thorough studying.
and the Foundation of a new Russian popular car is Lada Grant taken sedan Lada Kalina. The architects and designers had a difficult task: on the one hand to meet the basic cost of the car a little more than 200 thousand roubles, and on the other, make new practical and attractive donor. The creators of the novelties went the easy way - from the «Kalinouski square» body cut off the front and rear and made them again. In the end, Lada Granta grew up - front the addition of 64 mm, and back to 160 mm. And has a good size for the class «B”. Length - 4260 mm, width - 1700 mm, height - 1500 mm, base - 2476 mm, the minimum ground clearance of 160 mm.
The front of the car Lada Granta is equipped with a (not dare to say - is decorated with) original rectangular headlights lighting and guns противотуманок (the prerogative of bundling Suite).Фальшрадиаторной grid with a horizontal bar «under chrome» echoed the duct in the bumper. Boring appearance of the person state employee slightly dilutes the hood with the ribs.
In the profile of Lada Grant the same can not boast of originality and uniqueness. The rear part, it seems, срисовывалась with the cult of the Romanian-French state employee Logan.
on July 25, 2012 began production of the Granta at the factory IzhAvto in Izhevsk.
At the Moscow motor show AVTOVAZ promised to show the car Lada Granta, which is equipped with an automatic transmission. At AVTOVAZ have promised, that the batch production of cars with this type of transmission will be launched in mid-2012. The new model is equipped with a four-automatic from the Japanese company Jatco. The cost of Lada Granta with automatic gearbox of the Japanese company JATCO will be 373 200 roubles, informs «Avtosreda» with reference to the press-service of «AVTOVAZ». Sale of the machine started since the summer of 2012. The car is offered to customers in new equipment.
In 2014 (IZH-Avto) is planned to produce the car in the version of the hatchback body style. The issue of the universal of not being planned. This niche will take the updated Lada Kalina.
Exterior and interior
The sedan Lada Grant high feed with a huge trunk (480 liters). Pleases the desire of designers to decorate the stern of at least some of the intricate elements: smooth curves of the trunk into the aerodynamic bumper. Rear elements of lighting attractive, but, alas, for the very first tests in the rainy weather began to steam. There is an impression, that Lada Granta - this hodgepodge in the design, and it is clear, - budget. ... But wait a second! - design, appearance, options... Probably not worth assess the car on a common algorithm for emerging almost every year "иноновинок”. After all, the most important thing in the budget auto - that's how much it costs, how goes, how often breaks and access to spare parts.
For the convenience of the interior. Inside Lada Granta so it all just like the outside, but it is more pleasant and better than in Kalina. Plastic dashboard and door card hard, but not the media. All elements of the interior are collected carefully with uniform clearances. The front seats are flat, without side support, and stuffing pillows is weak. Chubby трехспицевый steering wheel adjustable for tilt in complete sets of standard and Suite), for him settled instruments. The speedometer and tachometer легкочитаемые, which cannot be said about the information from the onboard computer.
Back row has a good reserve space for two passengers, third, it seems, would be superfluous. Without any problems for a driver will house the person with the growth of 180 sm, knees not supported in the back, Yes and soles of the feet comfortable. The rear seats are deprived of the head restraints, but (bonus) they are added, increasing the already large trunk. In the cabin of Lada Grant a mass of niches, shelves and glass holders. Only the latest, located near the lever of switching of the CPT, to use uncomfortable.
We were pleased with the sound - insulation, in the novelty has become quieter in comparison with Вазовскими ancestors, but ... at this level still, as they say, there is something to aspire to.
Security
For today held only one test for safety in the laboratory of the passive safety of the OJSC «AVTOVAZ». As assures the OAO «AVTOVAZ»car Granta not it is planned to supply for export, except in the CIS countries, therefore, for a first test vehicle was used outdated methods of complying with the requirements of UNECE regulation 94-01, which has practically not applied in the West, as in Russia do not apply the strict requirements of automotive safety. This method is similar to the modern technique EuroNCAP, with a difference in speed (less by 8 km/h) impact with a deformable barrier. According to the results of tests of the car passed crash test on all parameters. Here it should be noted that the most likely level of passive safety on technique EuroNCAP will be the same as the sedan LADA Kalina, as it is built on its basis (including the power structure of the body). Kalina sedan was defeated in 2005 the magazine «auto review» on its own range of modern technique EuroNCAP, at a speed of 64 km/h), due to the fact that JSC «AVTOVAZ»planned to export sales Kalina within a few tens of thousands of cars a year in the West. Then Kalina with airbags scored 8,4 out of 16 possible points for a frontal attack. Nevertheless, Kalina is in steady demand, but only in Germany, Nicaragua, Cuba and Venezuela.
Chassis and body
Now about the technical characteristics of the car Lada Grant. On бюджетник will establish petrol a 1.6-liter engines, depending on the configuration of power varies (82 HP.- Standard, 87 HP.- Norm, 98 HP) - Lux). Transmission: "old acquaintance” 5-speed "mechanics” or 4-stage Japanese "automatic” (firms Jatco - long used on low-end models of Nissan). More or anything new and interesting things about the characteristics of Grants to say do not get.Test-drive Lada Granta in the version of the «Standard» demonstrates good traction motor, acceleration to 100 km/h to 11.8 seconds. Maximum speed of 170 km/h, with an average flow rate of 7,2 - 7,5 litre. Sad work of the «old friend» - «десяточной of the box» - the big moves, fuzzy turn vibration on the lever. Car is equipped with электроусилителем, the steering wheel was sharper and there is a real connection of the steering control and the driver.
Lada Granta on roads with a good solid coating goes clearly and predictably, body roll in bends is not critical. Thanks to the factory default settings of the rear beam, the wheels «house» (with a negative angle of (-1 degrees) and a positive (+10 degrees) convergence), which are not regulated in the course of the whole operation, Grant became stronger and better keeps trajectory.
On the roads with poor coverage suspension demonstrates the high energy intensity, and almost indifferent to the pits and pockets, when the suspension is soft and collected. When driving both on the track and on the road acoustic comfort in the passenger compartment Lada Grant satisfactory.
In General, driving a car leaves a good impression, it is hoped that the pipeline will not spoil the car, and the quality of the components does not frighten.
To «Grant» is set modernized front and rear suspension on the model of «Kalina». The longitudinal angle of inclination of the rack (castor) increased, and installed new support pillar, improved stabilizer of transverse stability. The rear wheels have received a negative disintegration of the 1 degree.
On the car are three types of engines depending on the version (set) of the machine:
execution of the «Standard»: the 1.6-litre 8-valve capacity - 82 HP., 132 Nm;
execution of the «Norm»: the 1.6-litre 8-valve with a lighter шатунно-piston group of the capacity of 87 HP., 140 Nm;
execution of the «Suite»: the 1.6-litre 16-valve with a lighter шатунно-piston group with a capacity of 98 HP., 145 Nm.
A five-speed manual gearbox is almost the same as the «Kalina». In the autumn of 2012 year on the car started to install an upgraded gearbox with an index VAZ-2181. She has a new mechanism of choice of gear, turn the drive, двухконусный synchronizer the first and the second transfer, reduced the gas tank. All this allowed to decrease the clearances and the lever, reduce the force on the lever. A new gearbox put on the modification of VAZ-21901 with the engine 1.6 l (87 HP) OJSC «AVTOVAZ» gives the guarantee for the body and the details in a period of 6 years from rust perforation, however, according to the official Moscow dealer zinc plated body is missing
