Lada Granta hatchback - a new player in the budget segment

Fans of AvtoVAZ, three years awaiting the appearance of a new hatchback Lada-Grant , were disappointed when the novelty was presented in the back lift truck. In autumn 2013, the debut of the model was planned, but for various reasons the presentation was postponed. Despite the fact that many of the characteristics of the novelty are no longer a secret, it is still too early to talk about the beginning of production. The release of the Lada Granta (hatchback) car will be carried out on the sedan platform. This suggests that the models have much in common, But this is only at first glance. Liftback "Lada-Granta" in appearance completely different from its predecessor - the sedan. "AvtoVAZ" presented the car of a completely different level.

Design findings

The developers tried and transformed the appearance of a boring sedan. At the same time, they used modern solutions, combining sports notes and stylish elements in design. As a result, we got a new model with features of a hatchback. The modified bumper with black contrast inserts and fog light in the rear light changed the look of the Lada Granta (hatchback) car. The developers have made the appearance of the novelty not so boring as the sedan. Liftback got the fifth door, but not only it significantly changed the look of the rear of the car. The main advantage here is the use of attractive optics in the design and the logical arrangement of the license plate. The sedan also has an unattractive massive boot lid, which makes the rear view somewhat eerie. Dwelling on other differences that the hatchback Lada Granta possesses (the photo of the model can be seen below), it is necessary to allocate completely new rear-view mirrors and sports type alloy wheels. This all comes in the basic equipment of the car.

Dimensions

The length of the car Lada Granta (hatchback - liftback) by 13 mm became less sedanovskogo performance. It was 4247 mm, the height of the novelty is 1500 mm, and the width is 1700 mm. The wheelbase of the Lada Granta car in the body of the hatchback-liftback remains a secret manufacturer. However, in all likelihood, it will be 2476 mm, like the sedan. With the basic equipment, the liftback will have a curb weight of 1150 kg.

Interior

In the interior of the special changes did not happen. The rear door panels were slightly upgraded, and the front grilles and the front-side air intakes received a silver edging, the gearshift lever acquired a new design. Seats at the car Lada Granta (hatchback) remained the same as the sedan. Only the pattern of stitching became a different kind. However, this did not affect the degree of comfort. The space for passengers has not changed either. But the trunk was reduced by 80 liters, and became 440 liters. However, with folded seats, the volume of the trunk becomes 760 liters.

In the basic configuration with all power units, a classic five-speed manual gearbox will be installed. For top equipment, a 4-speed automatic Jatco box is provided.

Suspension and braking system

The suspension elements for all models of the Lada Granta (hatchback) are almost identical. An exception (insignificant) is noted in the settings, so expecting something supernovae from the model is not necessary. The front independent suspension received McPherson struts and a rear torsion bar with screw springs. The front wheels are equipped with disc ventilated mechanisms. Rear wheelbase - classical drum systems. As a novelty, the brake system will be supplemented by the mechanical drive of the handbrake. And with top equipment, the car "Lada-Granta" will be equipped with ABS and BAS systems. All modifications are equipped with electric power steering.
