Features of the trunk drive on the Lada Vesta SV Cross

Every car owner uses the luggage compartment of his car at least once a day. It’s good if your hands are free and you can open the compartment yourself without any problems. But what if the burden is large or space is limited? It is necessary to use an electric trunk drive.

Visual operation of the electric drive

Lada Vesta SW is a compact, dynamic car, suitable for travel both within the metropolis and outside the city. According to the company’s engineers themselves, new developments have been implemented in the design of the car, allowing it to combine comfort of movement and sporty “filling”.

The car is made in a station wagon body, the number of doors is 5. The fifth door is the trunk door, which also includes modern technological solutions, namely an electric drive. What is this solution?

general characteristics

Technical marking of the electric drive – AAALIne Smart Lift SWC-17. This solution is designed specifically to ensure opening and closing of the trunk on a Lada Vesta SW Cross. The element is sold as a kit, completely ready for installation and subsequent operation. Suitable for installation on vehicles of the entire model range, from 2015 to 2022 assembly years. The automation component has passed all stages of certification and is recommended by the manufacturer and official dealers.

Rival transmissions

In this component, Lada Granta has a slight advantage. It has three transmission options: one manual and two automatic. The mechanics are the VAZ 2181 model. The domestic manual gearbox is slightly inferior to its Vesta counterpart. The automatic transmission is a robotic transmission and a classic automatic transmission, which the new product cannot boast of.

Vesta from the fall of 2022 is available with one mechanical option. This is a modified version of the 2180 box and is now designated 21807. With its release, this transmission supplanted the French mechanics. It now makes a little less noise and allows you to switch speeds more clearly and smoothly. It’s difficult to put the Granta analogue on a par with the improved Vesta manual transmission.

The new product can only respond to 2 automated transmissions of a budget car with a robot. Granta, in addition to AMT, has a 4-speed classic automatic transmission. On the highway, such a box is unprofitable in terms of fuel consumption, but for the urban cycle it’s just right.

Benefits of use

There are quite a lot of situations in everyday life in which an electric drive will come in handy. Let's look at some of them.

The first one is the simplest. When leaving a store or large shopping center, your hands are full of bags with purchases, while the person came for shopping alone. Opening the trunk manually will cause difficulties, requiring you to place boxes/packages on the floor. The presence of an electric drive will greatly facilitate opening, because this does not require many movements, just press a button.

Button

An almost similar situation is when you come shopping with small children who constantly need to be held by the hand. We also hasten to please people with short stature who cannot reach the trunk lid to close it - with the help of a remote control, regulating the operation of the door will become much simpler and easier. This is also useful, considering that the factory functionality does not provide for adjusting the opening height of the fifth door.

These are just the most common problems, the solution of which is simplified by the drive. Everyone will find individual benefits from choosing this function.

From our ten, install springs the same effect as from the Passat B2, there is an entry in my blog

do you have a part number?

where? The car was manufactured in 1982.

Yes, during disassembly, ask for an Audi or Volkswagen from the 80s, from the photo you can understand which one you need.

Yes, we don’t really have any showdowns) well, I’ll try)

What if the stock ones are pulled to the maximum distance?

Over time they will stretch out, they are runny, the metal is soft.

What if you just tighten a few turns on the original spring with plastic clamps?

The clamps will be held in one position, and the spring will compress and decompress; elasticity is needed.

What if you just tighten a few turns on the original spring with plastic clamps?

see photo 2, the lid is open, the spring is stretched to half, you tighten it with clamps, close the lid, the spring stretches to the end and breaks your clamps.

By pulling several turns, elasticity will not be lost, but rigidity will be added. And the clamps are strong. True, they can burst in the cold. Need to check))

Everything ingenious is simple! Well done.

I did just that, from 10 ki for 100 rubles the trunk opens!)

Design and layout of the device

The device is an electric type trunk lift designed using advanced technology. In essence, it is an electromechanical device with intelligent operation that significantly expands the auxiliary functionality of the car and increases the operating comfort.

Technologies enable the driver to regulate the processes of opening and closing the trunk using a simple remote control. Additionally, in addition to the basic functions, the system is equipped with functions to protect against possible pinching. We also note the memory, which allows you to “remember” previously used trunk opening heights. The component supports a wide range of opening angle settings. Convenience is also enhanced by the presence of audible indication of the door's open and closed status. The standard key fob is suitable for programming and configuring the system.

The interface (if you can call it that) is intuitive even for a beginner; learning key features is not difficult and does not take much time.

Exterior

At the time of its appearance, the Lada Granta was considered, in some way, a landmark car, as it marked the transition from the chopped lines of the Samara family to a streamlined silhouette. But Vesta has made a real revolution, and against the backdrop of a rather modest competitor it looks extremely impressive.

The Lada Granta looks more modern than the Samara models, but it is also not ideal.

The Granta was created as a budget option, as a result of which large headlights and a massive radiator grille appeared in the front end, under which the designers placed an air intake that occupied the entire lower part of the bumper. And round fog lights complete the whole thing. Unlike many models, there is almost no chrome, except for the large and shiny bar on the radiator grille.

The front of the sedan is memorable with large headlights and only one chrome detail.

When viewed from the side, the massive doors and very long stern catch the eye. It is clear that this was done in order to maximize the parameters of the luggage compartment, but to many such a body seems disproportionate and awkward.

The doors of the Lada Granta are massive, but the rear causes more dissonance.

And a look at the back only enhances the impression. The huge trunk lid seems to hang over everything, and the decision to move the license plate to the rear bumper is completely incomprehensible. As a result, the room is constantly dirty, and the trunk lid seems empty.

A huge trunk lid and a license plate on the bumper are not the best solution.

LADA Vesta is much more harmonious. In her image, all the aggressive features are perfectly combined and do not cause dissonance. The thoroughbred front end, framed by chrome lines, a radiator grille and air intake that form one whole, branded optics, and beaded fog lights, looks much more advantageous than the “Grant” one.

The front of the Lada Vesta is stylish and thoroughbred - no match for its competitor!

From the side the impression only intensifies. There are no bulky doors, massive rear fenders or gaudy wheels. Instead, there are “X” lines stretching across the entire sidewall, light-alloy wheels with split spokes, a wedge-shaped profile and expressive stampings along the bottom of the doors.

The bends and stampings of the sidewalls only enhance the impression.

And Vesta is much better in the back. Smooth, as if outlined by a ruler, lines of the rear lights, a large bumper with a black trim and a reflector at the bottom, a proportional trunk lid and the LADA letters, decorating it with their shine.

And the sedan’s rear is not far behind.

Strengths of the solution

As we have already said, the use of a drive for the trunk of a Lada Vesta SV Cross car brings significant benefits to the car owner. What exactly are they? Let's look further.

Advantages of the technological solution:

• Full compatibility with all machine solutions. This is due to the fact that the electric drive is not a universal device; it was developed specifically for this car model;
• installation is carried out by specialists from dealership centers. The network of salons and workshops is widely developed;
• non-contact operation will avoid contamination and keep your hands cool, especially in cold and rainy conditions, in slush and snowfall;
• speeding up the process of loading and unloading luggage;
• ease of use with busy hands;
• increases the level of technology of the car.

Engine overview

Just six months ago, Grant would have been the winner in terms of the number of engines. Since Vesta was previously produced with only one power unit. Today, the new product has three options for gasoline engines.

Granta also has an injection engine with a power of 106 horsepower, with completely similar characteristics to the Vesta engine. Cars exchange hundreds with this unit in different ways. Granta, due to its lower mass, reaches 100 km/h in 10.9 seconds, and Vesta spends almost a second longer on this (11.8 s). With the “robot” gearbox, acceleration takes even longer – in 12.8 seconds. The fuel consumption of competitors with a manual transmission on this engine is almost identical: almost 9 liters in the city, more than 6.5 on the highway. The maximum speed, surprisingly, is higher for the Grant: 183 km/h versus 178.

The budget sedan also has two less powerful units: a 16-valve (98 hp) and an 8-valve (87 hp). In terms of dynamics, they are not competitors to Vesta engines, but installing such engines significantly reduces the price of the Granta, which is a plus. By the way, the 98-horsepower engine is only available with an automatic transmission.

Operation process

Installation of the structure takes a little time, but then you will be able to remotely control the mini-system. The trunk is opened in one of three ways:

• using a key fob by pressing a button;
• from the passenger compartment, also via a button located near the driver’s workplace;
• button located directly on the tailgate.

Installing the drive will allow you to use different options for door opening angles, since they are available in a wide range. Safety features are also at a high level to prevent entrapment, movement with the door open, etc.

What has changed in the updated Lada Granta in the “X” style

The front optics look with proprietary X-graphics. The headlights are a continuation of the false radiator grille. It smoothly transitions into a diffuser located between the fog lights. The exclusive design has chrome inserts that resemble boomerangs. The rear has changed. The registration number is located on the trunk lid. The bumper has been refreshed, the optics have undergone changes.

The wings changed, the hood became aerodynamic, and the interior changed. Now there are comfortable internal door handles, gear knob, instrument cluster with orange scales.

The following main components have changed:

1. Engine. Depending on the price, power units will be installed. Budget engine 1.6 liters, power 81 horsepower. This eight-valve engine has been known for a long time. It was modified and the volume increased. VAZ 21116 was modified, but less successful than the first. The increase in power is not noticeable, +6 hp. The engine runs quietly, which is a plus. The Priorovsky engine has a power of 98 horses and 16 valves, a volume of 1.6 liters.
2. Box. The basis of the new product on Lux and Norma cars is the old gearbox. This transmission was installed on the VAZ-2108. It is still installed today, but has been modernized. Weaknesses: large lever strokes, difficult activation, low vibration comfort. The developers thought what could be improved. In the end, they decided: the box of the new Granta will have the same gear part. These are synchronizers, gears and shafts.
3. Salon. It combines a black and white on-board computer screen and new design instruments. The shape of the headrests has become more comfortable. The rear sofa has good lateral support. At the very top of the center console you can see an “X” molding. The interior has definitely become more comfortable.
4. Panel. The new instrument cluster now has visual elements and fonts, like in the Lada Vesta. Although everything looks simpler. The screen layout is standard. The tachometer scale remains on the left, the speedometer is located on the right. The on-board computer display is in the middle, it is monochrome. The panel of the new Granta has been modernized for the better.

Rich equipment

Drive Installation Kit

As we wrote earlier, the electric drive comes with a complete installation kit, allowing installation immediately after purchase. A programming function for working with a standard key fob has also been implemented.

The installation kit includes the elements:

• electric lifts – 2 pcs.;
• control unit – 1 pc.;
• electric type lock rod;
• CAN module used to connect to the machine’s digital networks;
• control button mounted on the surface of the trunk door;
• cutter;
• drive brackets;
• sound alarm;
• set of plastic ties;
• operating instructions, user manual;
• cable components and fittings for connection and complete installation.

Drive after installation

A soft-close function is also available as an option, minimizing slamming when closing the doors.

A93 VESTA trunk

Greetings to forum members! I independently installed, flashed, configured and debugged the alarm system. Two days with a tambourine and Google were a success! Everything worked out. The question is this. How can I now open the trunk using the alarm key fob? I understand that it will be necessary to install an additional relay, since my car does not have the ability to open the trunk via CAN. Tell me which channel is the best to use? Does anyone have a ready-made implementation scheme? Thank you. LADA VESTA 2022 luxury manual transmission Starline A93 CAN+LIN

why an additional relay? on A93 there are 3 free relays

Do you mean additional channels No. 200 mA (-)? And where to connect? To the trunk release button?

Think about the A93, when installing by channel, 3 relays are not used (2 in the block and 1 in the power one). some information https://support.starline.ru/topics/15749-ne-otkryivaetsya-bagazhnik/#comment-98257

The link just looks at the option with an additional relay. If you connect to the button via a relay from the unit, the alarm will go off in security mode. If you use a free power relay in parallel with the lock, the alarm will again work. The third button of the native Vesta remote control does not have physical contact in the body electronics unit. It is programmed to open and disarm the trunk. So what should we do? Here, it seems, you can only buy a board for the original remote control and hide it in the cabin with a connection to the third alarm button.

Looks like I need to see an installer

How is that ? When the central lock is closed, the button does not work.

Comparison with Vesta

Which car is better between these two models? No one will give a clear answer to this question. Both cars are a tempting offer for motorists. Compared to other models, they significantly benefit. They have almost the same number of trim levels. The old model range is unlikely to be forgotten, even if new updated cars appear. The new model has a low cost. For this reason, interest in it will always be warmed up.

Now let’s figure out which Grant is better for the car enthusiast, and what is the difference between the new model and the old one. Granta was developed on the Kalina platform. It rightfully replaces the classics, which have become outdated. This car can be started even in the most severe frost. It runs on gasoline of any quality.

Let's find out which Granta is the best of all trim levels. The car is available in 14 kit options. Let's consider budget options:

1. Standard. 1.6 l, has 86 hp. Price from 380,000 rubles.
2. Standard Plus. More expensive option. Has 87 hp. The price ranges from 390,000 rubles. In addition: black door frames, body color bumpers.
3. Classic. Can be purchased for 425,000 rubles. But the equipment is much better.

The rest of the cars can hardly be called budget. The price of the new Lada Granta is quite high and is constantly changing.

Exterior colors

These are emotional colors that make a car stand out from all the others. It can captivate at first sight; the color palette is varied. Therefore, anyone can choose a car to suit their taste. People's cars are painted in shades familiar to the world market. But there are also unexpected colors.

1. Alligator (Color code 309).
2. Diamond silver.
3. Agave (Color code 303). Practically no different from “Alligator”.
4. Peanut (Color code 205).
5. White cloud (Color code 240). This is a regular white color.

The new Granta is another breakthrough for AvtoVAZ in the automotive industry. More people will buy such a car; it will definitely find its consumer.

How to close the doors?

If the battery is discharged, the central locking, of course, will not work. Therefore, it is necessary to know how to lock the machine.

Everything is done simply. The locks of all doors, except the driver's, are equipped with a special groove with a closing button. You need to insert the Vesta ignition key into this groove and press down. The button will go down, after which the door must be slammed and it will remain closed. This procedure must be done with three doors, and then close the driver's door with the key.

Knowing this information, you can always close or open the Lada Vesta, regardless of whether your battery is charged or whether the key fob is working.

It is also worth remembering to be careful. Due to the fact that the lock cylinder is closed with a plastic plug, you need to be careful when washing, as the jet from the Karcher sometimes knocks it off. In addition, if you had to remove it in winter, be very careful, because in the cold the plastic becomes brittle and can break.

How to open the doors?

The lock cylinder on the driver's door of the Lada Vesta is closed with a plastic plug (for decorative purposes). If your battery or battery is dead, you need to remove this plug to get to the lock. The trim itself has a small cutout at the bottom where the ignition key is inserted and the plastic element is removed. Next, the lock opens, after which all that remains is to unlock the car and open the door. In addition, it is worth remembering that when you unlock one door in this way, all the others will also open.

All this is clearly demonstrated in the video

Of course, in the case of such unlocking, if the car was set to alarm, the “alarm” will go off, so you need to quickly get behind the wheel and turn the key in the ignition.
