Design

At the same time the car seriously differs from the sedan outwardly, having a less pronounced budgetary appearance: the designers managed to give the novelty sportiness and modern appearance. New bumpers with contrasting black accents, fog lamp on the stern and the presence of the fifth door are the main differences between the "rustic" appearance of the sedan and the new model of the car "Lada Granta" (elevatorback).
