Dimensions of the fret Kalina station wagon: technical characteristics

If we compare the previous model of the Lada Kalina car with the new product presented in 2012 at the Moscow Motor Show, we can identify many differences and modifications. The proportions of the car remained almost the same, but the parts outside and inside were noticeably modified. The neatly smoothed contours of the body give the car originality and elegance. The location of the headlights can be called very successful - the rear lamps are an unusual frame for the tailgate. The station wagon is characterized by a low stance, the parameters of which are 160 mm. Even on broken roads you will be confident in your car, and the car will drive through small potholes smoothly and smoothly. It is convenient to sit in the cabin - the door opening angle is 90 degrees.

Description

Externally, the car meets all the requirements of modern fashion.
The smooth contours of the body give it elegance. The designers did a very good job on the headlights. The location of the rear lamps is good - they beautifully frame the trunk door.

The ground clearance of the Kalina Sport is quite high and amounts to 185 millimeters, the station wagon has a lower landing - 160, but this allows it to easily move over rough terrain and broken roads. The car drives through even large potholes smoothly and smoothly.

This allows you to transport bulky items. The trunk threshold is conveniently located - this makes loading and unloading as comfortable as possible.

Compared to the Kalina Priora, the station wagon, of course, has a more elegant interior design, but overall the first car is not much inferior in practicality and comfort.

Thanks to the wide doorways, it became very comfortable to sit in the cabin. The driver's seat is more ergonomic and the instrument layout is better than previous models. All buttons and control levers are located close to the steering wheel, and because of this it is not difficult to use them.

The manufacturer used high-quality plastic to make the interior panels. All elements fit well and do not make unnecessary sounds when moving.

The seats are comfortable, although their upholstery material looks, compared to foreign cars, rather poor and unpretentious. Both the driver and passengers have the opportunity to adjust the seat backs to suit themselves.

There is only one drawback - the driver's seat cannot be adjusted in height. But Kalina’s owners note that in general the review is already beyond praise.

The car is equipped with air conditioning. It is not difficult to control the air conditioning system, since the buttons are located on the instrument panel. Moreover, in the luxury configuration the car comes with a navigator.

Lada Kalina 2 – advantages compared to the previous version

The new version of Kalina has received an excellent modern filling, which is especially noticeable in the full and most expensive luxury configuration. Taking into account the fact that the cost of the model has remained at an affordable level for the population and is in the range between the prices of Priora and Grant, such modern equipment has made the model competitive in the modern automobile market.

Having compared the photos and characteristics of the first and second versions of the Lada Kalina, it becomes clear that while maintaining the advantages of the previous model, the new version has significantly worked out the bottlenecks and introduced a lot of useful elements and additions.

Among the advantages of the new version are the following:

• Good ground clearance;
• Expansion of the cabin;
• Additional safety equipment for the driver and passengers;
• Increased comfort;
• Significant reduction in noise level in the cabin and others.

general characteristics

classifies Lada Kalina as a subcompact model. These cars performed excellently in urban conditions. For optimal operation, the range of external temperatures ranges from minus 40 to plus 45 degrees (Celsius). Also, to ensure that this vehicle exhibits its optimal characteristics, it must be used on paved roads.

Most Lada Kalinas are equipped with 8-valve engines. There are also versions with engines whose heads are equipped with 16-valve designs. Such motors are marked as “11194” and “11184”. Both versions of the power unit are located in the engine compartment according to a transverse arrangement. The power plants are equipped with modern distributed fuel injection systems.

The exhaust manifolds of these models have exhaust gas catalysts, which is done for the sake of the environment.

As a modern option, you can consider remote control of the central door lock and window drives. Also, as an option, a locking unit for the luggage compartment lock can be installed.

If there is a need to activate or deactivate the security system, then such an action is available in any situation. This mechanism allows you to lock all doors at once. This useful feature allows you to quickly lock yourself in your car, for example, while hiding from being chased.

Heading optics contains 4 lamps

Let's look at how the directional optics, that is, the front headlight, is designed. The block contains four compartments, each of which contains one element:

• High beam lamp (H1);
• Low beam lamp (H7);
• Combined lamp for running lights and “dimensions” (W21/5W);
• Turn signal lamp (P21W yellow - PY21W).

The standard size of the element is indicated in parentheses.

If we talk about low and high beams, standard power lamps (55 watts) are installed from the factory. It is not recommended to greatly exceed this value. Lighting fixtures of sizes H1-H7 look like this:

H1 – high beam, H7 – low beam

When making a purchase, the main thing is not to confuse an H7 lamp with a halogen lamp of a similar size (H4). Also, some companies produce 24-volt lighting devices.

When replacing halogen light sources, adhere to the following rules: do not touch the glass with hands without gloves; it is recommended to degrease the lampshade before installation. “Secunda” is suitable as a cleaner.

The following text shows the side and running lights:

There will be two filaments in the headlight bulb and DRL

Its standard size is W21/5W. Well, the turn signal bulbs in the directional optics use standard ones. They are equipped with a metal base, their standard size is P21W (PY21W).

The yellow lampshade looks like orange

Dimensions

Compared to previous VAZ models, the Lada Kalina has increased in size, which has a positive effect on the space in the cabin and the amount of luggage space in the trunk; the dimensions are noticeably larger. Note that the height, as well as the width, of the car remained unchanged, but the length increased noticeably.

It is these dimensions that now amount to 3.89 m. Let us recall that the width is 1.7 m and the length is 1.5 m. These are the dimensions of the car body. Another significant advantage of the Kalina is the ability to be equipped with an automatic transmission unit. The owners immediately appreciated this move, which allows the nimble Lada Kalina to “tolerate” city traffic jams well.

Let's touch on the body. For the practical “Russian”, the developers have provided an all-metal body frame.

The vehicle's curb weight reaches 1160 kg, and with full regulatory load it is 1560 kg. Moreover, we have already reported the dimensions of the body above, and they are not small.

We know the dimensions of the body, it’s time to talk about the dimensions of the luggage compartment Kalina now offers the owner a number of advantages. If you fold the back rows, the useful volume of space for placing cargo “grows” to 550 liters. Here, practical drivers will appreciate this solution, since they often have to transport items whose dimensions exceed the parameters of the trunk itself.

The station wagon modification has also grown significantly in size. The manufacturer has additionally equipped the roof of this body version with roof rails, which allows the owner to install an external luggage compartment for transporting large luggage.

The length of the station wagon exceeds 4 meters, which is longer in comparison with a hatchback or the same sedan. The width of the version remains unchanged - 1.7 m, which is also true for the height - 1.5 m.

Separately, we should touch upon the trunk of the station wagon, which has no competitors in the model line of all LADA Kalinas. Folding the backrests of the stern seats allows you to “increase” the volume of usable space to an incredible 670 liters for this class.

The fuel tank on the station wagon has been migrated from the sedan, which confirms the identical volume, capable of holding a maximum of 50 liters.

Vehicle parameters

The new Lada Kalina model from VAZ has become much larger and more spacious. This affected the spaciousness of the trunk and interior; it became possible to increase luggage and make the passengers’ stay more comfortable while driving. The parameters of the new model fit perfectly into the “B” segment. Let's look at the main dimensions of the car:

• total length 3893 mm;
• length – 1500;
• width – 1700 mm;
• wheelbase standards - 2476 mm;
• ground clearance indicators - 170 mm (elevation of the body above the road);
• tires and wheels - 175 by 65, 185 by 60, 185 by 55;
• clearance between the rear and front axles, wheelbase - 2,480 mm.

The distance to the asphalt from the bumper is 200 mm. These numbers will be the envy of any crossover! One of the key features of the machine is the ability to equip it with an automatic transmission unit. This is very convenient and car owners appreciated this production move of the concern. The automatic transmission allows the small and compact Lada to move well off-road and in city traffic jams.

Salon of Lada Kalina Hatchback

Now let's go to the salon. So what's interesting here? As soon as you look at the pleasant steering wheel, a feeling of satisfaction comes: VAZ has taken care of the interior. The hatchback console is no different from the consoles of other models, which is already obvious. Speaking about the quality of the interior finishing, it justifies the 307 thousand that are asked for the model. Soft fabric, pleasant plastic (in comparison with cars of this category and price), two-tone trim on the front panel (rarely found on budget cars, with the exception of domestic ones). This Lada Kalina hatchback surprises potential buyers. In short, everything is in order with the price-quality ratio of the domestic car.

What are the dimensions of the Lada Kalina car?

For the Lada Kalina car, the dimensions are designed well for Russian cities and courtyards. She doesn't look overly petite. There is some solidity in it, and at the same time, “Kalina” is able to find a place for itself in the tightest parking lot. What is not a competitive advantage in these difficult times? Especially when looking for some free spot to leave the car near the house.

Technical characteristics of Lada Kalina Cross

When creating the Lada Kalina Cross, the model developers took as a basis the version of the Lada Kalina station wagon performed by Norma. The Kalina Cross station wagon will be offered with two engine options. Initially, under the hood of the car there will be an in-line 4-cylinder petrol unit with a displacement of 1.6 liters.

This engine is equipped with an eight-valve timing belt with distributed fuel injection. The engine is capable of developing a maximum power of 87 hp. at 5100 rpm. Peak engine thrust occurs at 140 Nm at 3800 rpm. The engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission with cable drive.

Moreover, especially for the pseudo-crossover, in order to increase the traction characteristics of the car, the gear ratio of the main pair in the gearbox was increased from 3.7 to 3.9. The speed characteristics of the Kalina Cross are not a reason to be proud - it takes more than 12 seconds to reach 100 km/h from a standstill.

The maximum speed of the car is 165 km/h. A little later, the car is planned to be equipped with another gasoline engine. This should be a 1.6-liter 16-valve engine known from other models, the power of which is 106 hp.

According to experts, such a unit would be a more suitable engine for an off-road station wagon, since with an 87-horsepower engine the car’s dynamics clearly leave much to be desired.

The list of basic equipment of the new Kalina Cross includes: a pair of front airbags, remote-controlled central locking, an anti-theft system, an anti-lock braking system, an electric power steering column.

In addition, the car is equipped by default with an air conditioning system, rear seat headrests, heated front seats, front electric windows, and alloy wheels.

Prices for Lada Kalina Cross start at 471 thousand rubles.

Features of the Cross modification

When considering the entire list of modifications of the LADA Kalina, one cannot ignore the outstanding VAZ project - the Cross version. This car is built on the basis of a station wagon, but has an impressive list of additions

Here the developers have placed significant emphasis on the ground clearance, which is an enviable 208 mm. The perimeter of the body is decorated with decorative linings, which simultaneously perform a protective function. On small off-road terrain the car behaves quite confidently. The developers did not forget to use enhanced protection for the engine sump and transmission unit housing.

Kalina Cross allows the owner to install wheels with a larger diameter, which also benefits both ground clearance and the exterior as a whole.

the volume and overall dimensions of the body are described

When buying a car, for most people, not only technical characteristics are important, but also trunk volume. Moreover, with other similar parameters, it is the trunk volume that often turns out to be the decisive factor when choosing a specific car.

In 2013, the release of a new generation Lada Kalina was announced. And on May 16 of the same year, the first car with a hatchback body type rolled off the assembly line.

The car body has not undergone significant changes; the chassis has remained the same (the suspension has been slightly improved). As for the trunk volume of the Lada Kalina hatchback, according to the specifications, it is 240-550 liters.

What does this mean?

That with the rear seats installed, it is 240 liters, and if they are folded down, it will increase to 550. This volume is significantly less than the volume of the trunk of a Lada with a station wagon body (remember, this parameter was respectively 355/670 liters).

The trunk dimensions of the Lada Kalina hatchback are as follows:

• width – 947 mm;
• depth – 644 mm;
• height – 492 mm.

With the rear seats folded, the depth increases to 1319 mm, and if the trunk is left open, it can carry cargo up to 1277 mm in size.

As you can see, for a small family this car is even suitable for traveling, and if you only use it for commuting to work and visiting, then the relatively lower cost (compared to the same “station wagon”) makes it a more profitable option for purchase.

Body and luggage compartment characteristics

The practical car is equipped with a body made of solid fused metal. The weight of the fully assembled car is 1160, the regulatory full load is 1560. As for the luggage compartment, you can be sure that everything you need will fit here. When folded, the rear seatbacks provide much more space for luggage, the total volume increases to 550 liters. If you are a practical person, you will certainly appreciate this advantage. This is the only trunk in the entire Lada model line that truly has no competitors of its kind.

The fuel tank was also modified - its volume became larger, increasing to 50 liters. It is practically unchanged, moved from the sedan. The car, as in the previous modification, is presented with a convenient luggage compartment threshold - in addition to the generally recognized spaciousness, it is very convenient to put things of any size there. For some, this item may not seem the most impressive, but if you take into account the average consumption of 8 liters, the owner can cover enormous distances without refueling (kilometers reach 600 km). The appearance of the car has also undergone changes: the manufacturing company has equipped the roof with special roof rails, thanks to which you can install a luggage compartment for transporting goods. You can also transport large items, which is very convenient.

Description of the car

The Lada Kalina station wagon fully lives up to its name. Many Russians have already been able to see the versatility of this iron horse. By the way, it is already clear that this car is mainly purchased by people who prefer active recreation. Thanks to its functional features, this five-door car is an ideal option for country trips. Russian developers knew that their product would have to overcome domestic roads! That is why they endowed the Lada Kalina with high cross-country ability and maneuverability, which allows it to easily overcome both city highways and dirt roads.

In addition, the VAZ 1117 Kalina station wagon has a refined and at the same time democratic design of the body and interior, which makes it an ideal option for a family car. Travel comfort is ensured for every family member, thanks to the wide adjustment of the front seats, which allows you to free up space for luggage. And for large items there is an almost (slightly short of a sedan) universal trunk, convenient for trips to the country. But, if you remove the rear parcel shelf, the trunk capacity increases to 500 liters, which, of course, makes the Lada Kalina station wagon beyond any competition.

In addition, the new Lada Kalina station wagon is equipped with a climate control system, effective ABS and many other innovations that were previously rare in the automotive market.

In its technical characteristics, the Lada Kalina station wagon is not inferior to the sedan. The machine is equipped with a four-cylinder engine with a distributed electronic fuel injection system. Classic convenience is provided by a five-speed manual transmission.

In general, the fact that Ladas are becoming more and more common on the roads speaks for itself. After all, the Lada Kalina station wagon went on sale three years ago. Consumers throughout Russia were able to see the advantages of this car. In addition, the Kalina station wagon, thanks to its design solution, has acquired presentability and visual appeal. The rounded lines of the car's silhouette now speak more about its maneuverability and ease of control. Indeed, people of the older generation feel comfortable behind the wheel; they easily feel the ease of contact with the road surface.

A new product from AvtoVAZ has appeared on the roads of Russia, and we have become aware of the technical characteristics of the 2013 LADA Kalina 2. It is worth noting that this is actually the same car, which received a new gearbox and updated design.

If you study the data presented in the table in detail, it will become clear that the station wagon is no different from the hatchback in terms of dynamics and equipment. The only difference between the Lada Kalina 2 station wagon and the technical characteristics is that the body is slightly longer.

Otherwise, the technical characteristics of the new Lada Kalina 2nd generation differ only in trim levels. In the luxury version, the buyer receives a 16-valve engine, which is 12 hp more powerful than the 8-valve engine, which has a positive effect on the overall dynamics of the car. However, we should not forget that the luxury version can be equipped with an automatic transmission, which slightly worsens the dynamic characteristics of the new Kalina.

Fuel consumption, judging by official data from AvtoVAZ, is less for a 16-valve power unit compared to an analogue with 8 valves. An automatic transmission competes with a manual transmission only in the extra-urban cycle; in all other cases it consumes more fuel.

A station wagon is on average 25-30 kilograms heavier than a hatchback, but at the same time, it is the station wagon that has the best dynamic performance, although only slightly. Also among the main advantages of the station wagon, it is worth noting the trunk volume of 360 liters, while the hatchback has only 261 liters.

You can find out all the technical characteristics of Kalina 2 from the table below. It is worth noting that these are not the final technical specifications for the Lada Kalina 2, as they may still change, but you will probably learn about this on our website or forum.

Technical specifications (manufacturer's data):

Lada Granta

The most popular version of the Grant today is the sedan. The liftback has also become a good seller, but it is still far from being a sedan. The VAZ 2190 is designed for 4 passengers, according to the documents it looks like a B-class car, but after considering the dimensions, you can safely classify it as a C-class.

Being a successor of the “Kalina” traditions, the sedan was even assembled on its platform and borrowed a lot of things from Kalina: body, chassis, interior. On the other hand, it is a different car with a different character, larger cargo compartment, redesigned design, etc. The trunk has been increased to 500 liters.

Here are the standard body dimensions of the Lada Grant.

Lada Granta body dimensions

As you can see, the dimensions of this VAZ model are 22 cm longer than those of the Kalina, but 7 cm shorter than the “Samarov” modifications.

Now other characteristics in more detail:

• The radiator grille has received a new corporate style, now resembling a Volga rook, which is held in place by a powerful molding. This grille cools the engine compartment more effectively, as it is equipped with large “nostrils”;
• The bumper is much softer than the VAZ ones and is painted in body color on some car trim levels;
• The general lines of the hood and trunk roof are slightly raised;
• The front optics have received more enlarged outlines, and in the basic version the cars are also equipped with daytime side light.

As for the trim levels, the new sedan can be purchased in 3 versions. The coolest is the Lux, equipped with a 98-horsepower engine and featuring a completely different level of interior equipment.

Among the features of the Granta body, one can highlight the good quality of the assembly and good quality of materials. The body parts are connected to each other using high-tech automated German welding. This allowed domestic producers to reach a completely different level.

We also highlight the good quality of painting and resistance to anti-corrosion treatment. Both of these processes are also carried out on German-made automated lines with excellent precision.

The modified body geometry gave the new Russian car a stylish, aspirational lines. This had a beneficial effect not only on the exterior, but also made it possible to significantly reduce the AED resistance. Now this coefficient is 0.36, which is more than 6 percent less than the base model. In addition, the pointed hood is less harmful to pedestrians, experts say.

Important functions are performed by overhangs:

• The Granta's rear overhang has been extended by 15 cm. In turn, this makes the interior even more spacious than before;
• The front overhang is designed in such a way as to reduce the thermal load on the engine and its environment.

As for other body differences:

• The underbody was specially designed for the new Russian car. Special metal sheets with special hardening and double-sided galvanization are a good solution that significantly increases service life;
• As for quality of life, in this particular case the indicator is increased by 12 percent when compared with Kalina;
• The weight of the car was reduced by as much as 40 kg, which could not but affect the handling. Now it has become much easier to maneuver in city tight rows, it is more convenient to take turns;
• It has become easier to install an additional roof rack, since the manufacturer has provided good, strong fastenings on top of the door seals.

Unfortunately, Granta did not lose the traditional VAZ “sores”:

• It is inconvenient to adjust the side mirrors. But this is not necessary, since they provide quite good visibility;
• On the other hand, short drivers will have poor visibility of the road due to the raised lines of the hood and trunk.

Lada Kalina Universal - Blueberry which is Kalina › Logbook › About the trunk

The Kalinovsky trunk is enough for me so far and it hasn’t disappointed me in 4 months; I compare it, of course, with my former VAZ 2111, which I owned for quite a long period of time and in which I very often transported things that, according to all the laws of physics, should not be was to get into this car.

Yes, on the 2111 the trunk is larger and more spacious, with a volume of 430/775 liters, on the Kalina 350/650. Added:
it turns out AvtoVAZ indicates volumes in liters up to the shelves, if loaded to the ceiling, then in 2111 the maximum volume is 1215 liters.
and in viburnum it turns out 1 m³ 1000 l. Without folded backrests, the length is 2111 - 1015 mm on the viburnum 785 mm, the difference

22 cm. If the backrests are folded, then 2111 is 1605mm, and on the viburnum it is 1430mm. The difference is already smaller

17 cm. If you compare the width of the trunk where the arches are 2111

1007mm, on viburnum

950mm, due to the difference of 5 cm, you still can’t stuff an elephant into 2111. Maximum transverse size on viburnum

1500mm. The carrying capacity of the Kalina is 435 kg, the VAZ 2111 is 500 kg.

In general, what do I mean, it’s better not to stuff 1.5 tons into either 11 or Kalina, there are gazelles for that ;)) But if I carried 11 often different loads in everyday life, from dacha to dacha, from village to village, something for renovation, all sorts of furniture for the house, so I carry the same load with ease and on a viburnum, I didn’t notice any difference, I recently brought a bed with a mattress from Ikea...

The viburnum also has its advantages with regards to the luggage compartment. I really like the trunk closing handle on the viburnum, the 2111 didn’t have one, your hands got dirty, sometimes when you arrived loaded. You take packages, bags, ask your wife to close the trunk, but there’s nothing to take hold of, she’ll get all her hands dirty, or break her nail, you’ll still be to blame later... And of course, the trunk lid rises noticeably higher on the Kalina. I’m not saying that I’m big, and I’m not saying that I’m small, but I constantly hit my head on the lid, but what can I say, my wife hit her head more than once even though she’s shorter than me, but here, of course, the gas stops failed in many ways, I changed them every winter, It was always enough for a year, like winter and frost, or it didn’t hold at all or gradually fell on the head. I don’t know yet how it will be in viburnum; there have been no frosts.

By the way, there is one unpleasant moment, maybe someone can tell me how to solve it... It has happened a couple of times already that the rod that opens the trunk from the lock button has come off, it came off exactly at the moment of pressing the lock, I’ll note it in the photo, I looked and didn’t understand, it’s a breakdown , something is missing, or this is a design miscalculation... You have to climb through the interior, remove the trim and open it. What if I’m loaded?

The speed of transformation of the trunk to its maximum size. On the 2111, I remember it was a bit of an ordeal to disassemble the interior, you can’t lift the seat, the ropes for lifting the seat constantly crawled under it for some reason, the release mechanism itself was constantly jammed on the backrests. It happened that it took about 10 minutes to disassemble the trunk. And it happened that I stupidly didn’t care about this assembly and disassembly and threw everything into the back and front seats. Viburnum has apparently already thought of all this and the disassembly and assembly process is much simpler and less time-consuming. Yesterday I was transporting a stand for flowers, assembled and disassembled everything with removing the passenger headrest, in about, well, a couple of minutes, and the stand itself is about 1.7m high and at the bottom, well, about a meter, probably exactly, it didn’t fit into a regular elevator, thank God it was a cargo elevator, but then the 16th floor... the stand went in like clockwork, probably two of these would have been removed!

Exterior

The appearance of the second generation Lada Kalina remained recognizable, but received a more harmonious, attractive and modern finish. The nose of the car is decorated with a hood with characteristic ribs, and there are also stylish lighting equipment with a darkened background and a massive front bumper with an air intake “mouth” and chrome decor (top trim levels also have fog lights).

The head optics flow smoothly into the narrow strip of the radiator grille. The bumper installed in front is of a relief type with a massive air intake in the center and has fog lights along the edge, which are covered with chrome “eyelashes”. True, we must admit that an air intake of this size does not fit perfectly with the overall design of the Lada Kalina 2.

Thanks to the smoothed body corners, the aerodynamic component has been improved, which has made it possible to reduce the noise of headwinds and make travel at high speeds more comfortable. If you look at the side of the car, you can see the presence of a sloping hood, a slightly sloping roof towards the rear, large door openings and large wheel arches.

All this together allows the hatchback to have a light and moderately dynamic silhouette. The fact that there are no stampings on the side body parts is made up for by the presence of door trims, which give the appearance of the car some relief against the background of the overall smoothing of the appearance. The wheel arches turned out to be a little swollen, and thanks to the high ground clearance of the hatchback, its solidity is felt.

The rear of the Lada Kalina 2 is compact and has beautiful lights, a neat luggage compartment lid and a small bumper with a plastic cover at the bottom, which serves as a protective option. As a result, the domestic new product looks quite good and fresh, and in terms of design it matches foreign cars.

Dimensions value

The Kalina family is small but friendly. Some are a little bigger, some are a little smaller, but together they can make it to the parade. The body of the Lada Kalina is made in several modern modifications: sedan, hatchback, station wagon, cross and sport. Their overall dimensions do not vary much.

The width and wheelbase are the same for all, as it should be for related models. But the length, height and ground clearance are different. Accordingly, the volumes and masses are different. The history of Lada models has seen long stagnation and a period of failure. In 2004, the release of the first Kalina from the assembly line ushered in a new era. Since then, new items appear almost every season, and the ranks of owners of the most popular car in Russia are growing from year to year.

The geometric dimensions of the body are important, but no less interesting is the volume of the trunk. All Kalina models are designed to allow the rear seats to be folded forward and increase luggage compartment space. The most voluminous trunks are for the sedan, station wagon and cross: 355/670 liters. “Hatchback” and “sport” are more modest - 240/550 hp. It’s also not bad, as many city car owners will agree with.

In the ranks of Kalina there is another model - Lada Kalina City (Oka-3), made on the VAZ-1117 platform. It appeared in 2005 and for some time was considered a replacement for the Oka small car, but this assumption is incorrect. It has almost the same dimensions, height and width as other Kalinas, only the length is 3650 mm.

There is another dimensional indicator that is rarely interested in until they get stuck in a rut. At this point, some people discover the fact that the distance between the front wheels is different from the distance between the rear. This parameter is called: front and rear wheel track. For the “sedan” and “hatchback” with “station wagon” - 1430/1414 mm, for the “sport” - 1431/1432 mm and for the “cross” - 1430/1418 mm.

The difference in millimeters may not be noticeable to the eye, but it is easy to feel when a few millimeters are not enough to get out of an icy rut on a winter road. The track size turned out to be wrong.

Trunk Kalina sedan

The configuration in this version is the first model whose dimensions were calculated by a computer program. The model has been produced since 2004. The sedan's dimensions are similar to the station wagon, but due to the difference in design types, the sedan's interior seems more spacious:

• length 4040 mm;
• width 1700 mm;
• height 1500 mm;
• vehicle clearance 160 mm.

The trunk of the sedan is 400 liters. This figure can be increased by folding the passenger seats. Trunk volume Kalina sedan:

• trunk width – 97 cm;
• height – 51.5 cm;
• diagonal – 97 cm.

The sedan has a fairly spacious interior and a roomy trunk, although it is not specifically designed for transporting large cargo. You cannot put large items in the trunk, but it is easy to transport luggage up to 500 kg.

Dimensions of the Lada Kalina station wagon and ground clearance: description and review

In general, all Kalina car owners admit that this model turned out to be very successful. On the one hand, it has a fairly spacious interior and an overall pleasant design, with a claim to some respectability. On the other hand, the car is still more than compact and easily fits even in a full parking lot. In addition, the power unit is quite economical, and the vehicle in question is very unpretentious in operation, which is, however, a common feature for all products of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant.

In this material we will tell you exactly what dimensions the Lada Kalina has in the station wagon modification.

Description

Externally, the car meets all the requirements of modern fashion. The smooth contours of the body give it elegance.

The designers did a very good job on the headlights. The location of the rear lamps is good - they beautifully frame the trunk door.

The ground clearance of the Kalina Sport is quite high and amounts to 185 millimeters, the station wagon has a lower landing - 160, but this allows it to easily move over rough terrain and broken roads. The car drives through even large potholes smoothly and smoothly.

The size of the trunk should be recognized as rather modest - only 350 liters, but the situation is corrected by the fact that if necessary, it will not be difficult to increase it by another 300 liters by folding the rear row of seats.

This allows you to transport bulky items. The trunk threshold is conveniently located - this makes loading and unloading as comfortable as possible.

Compared to the Kalina Priora, the station wagon, of course, has a more elegant interior design, but overall the first car is not much inferior in practicality and comfort.

Thanks to the wide doorways, it became very comfortable to sit in the cabin. The driver's seat is more ergonomic and the instrument layout is better than previous models. All buttons and control levers are located close to the steering wheel, and because of this it is not difficult to use them.

The manufacturer used high-quality plastic to make the interior panels. All elements fit well and do not make unnecessary sounds when moving.

The seats are comfortable, although their upholstery material looks, compared to foreign cars, rather poor and unpretentious. Both the driver and passengers have the opportunity to adjust the seat backs to suit themselves.

There is only one drawback - the driver's seat cannot be adjusted in height. But Kalina’s owners note that in general the review is already beyond praise.

The car is equipped with air conditioning. It is not difficult to control the air conditioning system, since the buttons are located on the instrument panel. Moreover, in the luxury configuration the car comes with a navigator.

Dimensions

• hatchback;
• station wagon;
