The most common and relatively inexpensive sedan from a domestic manufacturer is the Lada Granta and its basic version. According to the tasks of AvtoVAZ, this car was supposed to act as a replacement for the Lada fifth and seventh models, which had already become a classic of the Russian automobile industry. Especially the Standard package.
This Lada Granta car is the basic one in the line of new sedans produced in Togliatti. The first copies began to go on sale at the very end of 2011. At first, its cost was 229,000 rubles. This was the basic version. However, from April 1, 2012, it increased by 10,000 rubles. Then AvtoVAZ representatives said that the price increase was caused by inflation. But some experts are of the opinion that the rise in price is primarily due to the high demand for this brand of car, what is included in the car and what are its characteristics?
Lada Granta configurations
Lada Granta is one of the latest representatives of the domestic automobile industry, which is a 4-door sedan with a cabin capacity of up to 5 people.
In fact, the Lada Granta was developed on the basis of the Lada Kalina, but is a more modernized version, where some faults have been eliminated. The concept of the Lada Grant is presented on the basis of an atmospheric power unit operating on A-92 gasoline and producing 87 horsepower. The maximum speed of the vehicle is 172 km/h. And acceleration to 100 km/h will take 11.6 seconds. Average fuel consumption is 9.1 liters in the city or 6.2 liters on the highway or highway.
AvtoVAZ presents the Lada Granta to the domestic market in several different trim levels, which allows the future owner to choose the optimal level of dynamics and comfort in relation to the cost of the car.
Prospects
These are the main configurations of the Lada Granta, but the VAZ concern did not stop there. Observing the sales of Granta, manufacturers came to the conclusion that the experiment was a success, and it is slowly displacing even Kalina from the market. Many en masse work as taxis and for the official needs of their employees. Therefore, the Lada Granta 2013, which can be equipped in Standard, Norma and Luxury formats, has acquired a hatchback modification. This is already a completely modern car, which is systematically taking its place on Russian roads. Young drivers, and especially women, fell in love with the Granta for its elegance and style.
Ease of driving
All the best developments and traditions of AvtoVAZ in the field of ensuring the comfort of Lada cars are reflected in the new Lada Granta. Each of the 5 passengers in the cabin will have enough space and will not feel “squeezed.” The ability to fold the rear seats in a 2/3 ratio will significantly increase the luggage compartment.
For ease of driving, the Lada Granta is equipped with the following options:
- Multimedia system with touch screen;
- Effective interior ventilation and heating systems operating almost silently;
- Shelves and compartments for storing small items;
- Larger exterior mirrors for maximum visibility;
- A heating system for the front seats and air ducts extending to the feet of the rear passengers;
- Robotic automatic transmission with sensitive settings and very soft gear shifting.
In addition, thanks to new engine mounts and improved sound insulation, driving is virtually silent.

Interior and exterior
It is based on the Kalina platform
If we consider it together with Kalina, then the only similarities are the doors. As for the panels, they are original. The head optics are made according to traffic rules and are equipped with daytime running lights. They only start working when the ignition is turned on.
Bumpers “not in body color” and the absence of fog lights, why does the ordinary Russian citizen need extra comfort?
There are no fog lights here. The taillights are large. Installed at the corners of the body. They are made according to a symmetrical design: there is an anti-fog pair on the left, and a 3X pair on the right.
As for the bumpers, they are not painted. In addition, the front bumper is integral with the radiator grille. You can immediately see the savings, but you need to remember that here the developers tried to create the cheapest possible car with a minimum of losses on quality and driving characteristics.
The side mirrors are black, as in the more expensive “Norma” configuration
The side mirrors are also unpainted. They are not heated, but with mechanical adjustment from the passenger compartment.
Small A-pillars provide good visibility.
Trunk
Compared to its classmates, the trunk has increased height clearance
Now you can go to the trunk of the car. It opens with a button and a key. The loading height is greater than the Kalinovka, and the Grant has more advantages in terms of lifting the trunk. As for the negative aspects, this is the lack of lid padding. There is also no closing handle, meaning you'll have to get your hands dirty in inclement weather.
If we talk about one more difference, then in Kalina you can find gas stops. In the Standard configuration we again came to a scheme with hinges and torsion bars. Here, part of the space is lost, and as a result, it is impossible to install speakers (rear shelf). The way out is to purchase a rear acoustic shelf or install speakers in the rear doors.
Impression from the salon
Since there is no variety of textures in the interior, the details are in a basic black color, it looks gloomy. But it doesn’t look repulsive, if only because it’s well assembled. AvtoVAZ was finally able to get away from crooked gaps and terrible build quality. The situation has changed dramatically for the better.
Look at the gaps, the quality of the fit - nothing sticks out anywhere, everything is in its place. The most important thing is that if previously there were a huge number of complaints about all sorts of squeaks and squeaks in the car interior, now there are none. This directly indicates that the build quality has improved.
There are no head restraints in the rear. There is no lighting for passengers or handrails in the interior headliner. The front seat backs have no pockets. The back of the rear sofa is indivisible and reclines completely.
Lada Granta in the Standard configuration is currently the cheapest car on the Russian market. Moreover, there are simply no analogues in this price category. The set is as simple as possible. It contains only the very minimum that is necessary to move from point A to point B, nothing more.
What do you think of this package? Maybe you think something should be added or removed from it.
Vehicle positioning
Here a question may arise about the positioning of the Standard package. This car is as simple as possible and it is well bought by people over 30 years old.
Everything is as simple and effective as possible
The simplicity of the design and familiar components from previous models make it possible to service the car yourself. Many car owners are used to this.
Grant's interior
The inside of the car looks more presentable than the outside, but still loses aesthetically and in terms of convenience to cheap Chinese cars. The owner can be pleased with a spacious trunk of 240-360-440 - 500 liters (depending on the body: hatchback, station wagon, sedan and liftback). There is a lot of free space in the cabin, it’s not for nothing that the car is so long.
Lada Granta hatchback
Where to place the phone:
- space above the audio center in the minimum configuration,
- shelf in the glove compartment,
- shelf under the center console,
- under the handbrake,
- on top of the instrument panel in the box,
- There are also cup holders.
Popularity
In general, it becomes clear that the Lada Granta has firmly taken its position in the automobile market, and in the coming years it is unlikely to be supplanted by another domestic car. VAZ’s pricing policy is slowly changing, and the simple “Grants” package is becoming cheaper. In addition, the most economical car enthusiasts buy a car directly from the manufacturer’s factory, which allows them to save about fifty thousand in their wallet. At the end of 2013, the Lada Granta, along with such a car as the Hyundai Solaris, was recognized as the most popular car of the year.
Lada Granta "Norma" equipment
The “Norma” configuration differs in appearance from the “Standard” configuration in that the front and rear bumpers, radiator grille molding, and wheel caps are painted to match the body color. The main changes are inside the car.
In the “Norma” configuration, the Lada Granta is equipped with power accessories, the front doors have electric windows, central locking is installed, as well as an electric drive for opening the trunk lid, height adjustment of the steering column, electric power steering, and a shortened steering rack.
The steering wheel on the Lada Granta Standard makes four turns from lock to lock, but in the “Norma” configuration there are only three, that is, control has become sharper and easier.
Technical characteristics of Lada Granta “Norma”
Under the hood there is a modernized 8-valve engine, with a lightweight connecting rod and piston group, with an increased compression ratio, and accordingly its power has increased to 90 horsepower and torque to 140 Nm. These power characteristics allow the car to feel confident both in urban driving conditions and on the highway.
The engine in the “Norma” configuration is currently only available with a manual transmission. The gearbox migrated from the same Lada 2108 “eight”, the same switching pattern, the same forces on the lever, vibration, engagement does not always work the first time, so there are some problems, you need to drive it a little and get used to this car.
Engine
The variety of trim levels is a special step to diversify the Russian automobile market.
Under the hood of a stock Lada Granta in Standard configuration (engine 11183)
After the official presentation of this “people’s” car took place, the engine characteristics also became available.
- Under the hood in the “standard version” is an eight-valve petrol engine from Kalina.

- As for urban conditions, fuel consumption increases to 9 liters.
- The engine complies with Euro 4 environmental standards.
Equipment Standard with installed HBO
The well-known Kalina became the Lada Granta platform. Therefore, the very first versions were equipped with an engine with index 11183. It was used in the assembly of the Kalina car. If we talk in more detail about the 8-valve engine, then AvtoVAZ developers were involved in its modernization. A feature of this engine is:
- Optimized cylinder head cooling system.
- There is an improved shaft drive with automatic tensioner.
- The cylinder head gasket is made of durable metal.
- When manufacturing the cylinder head, a special strengthening heat treatment is used.
- The Lada Grant, like all vehicles, has front-wheel drive and has an electric throttle.
- After the modernization was carried out, the power increased to 64 kW.
- Torque increased to 140 Nm.
- The noise and vibration levels have been significantly reduced.
- When the timing belt breaks, the valve “does not bend.”
At the same time, the service life of the motor has increased, and now it is 200 thousand kilometers.
You can be pleased with the specific consumption of fuel and lubricants - it has decreased, and the environmental friendliness of the engine has increased.
The “Norma” package is already equipped with an 8-valve engine with a power of 87 hp. And if you look at the more “advanced” LUX package, this car will be equipped with an automatic transmission. This unit is a sixteen-valve unit with a power of 98 horsepower.
