Lada Largus: what is hidden under this name

Translated from Latin Largus means “generous”. The Russian concern reported that it was this word that served as the choice for the name of the new car. Car owners are of the opinion that the word largus is similar in pronunciation to the English word large, translated as “large,” and the Spanish word largo, that is, “long.” And this is really true. Lada Largus in a station wagon - a copy of the car made under license Logan MCV. This car was created together with the French-Japanese automaker. For car enthusiasts, there are several car options: a station wagon with five and seven seats, a van with a metal body and two front seats. Largus is practically no different from the French car. The basic package includes an ABS system, air conditioning, music system, and airbag. The car is produced with a manual transmission. There are no plans for automatic transmission yet. In the future, Largus will be available with all-wheel drive. The interior of the vehicle is large and has many capabilities. The seats can be folded in any way. The exterior, although simple, is beautiful: strict lines, a rectangular shape, wide moldings on the sides of the car. Largus was planned as a practical transport, designed to perform commercial tasks and move large items. The inventors of Largus managed to put their fantasies into practice.

History of the Lada Largus

The presentation of Lada Largus took place in 2010. The production of the car from the assembly line began in the spring of 2012. The first sales began in July. More than 70% of all parts for Largus are produced in Russia. This gave rise to great popularity for the car. After all, the presence of Russian-made parts makes Largus a profitable car in terms of cost and maintenance. According to the information received as a result of the survey, Lada Largus is recognized as one of the best models produced by AvtoVAZ since the eighties. Also, the new Lada is a real modern car. All components comply with current European standards. Taking into account the peculiarities of Russian roads, a reinforced version of the suspension arms and brake mechanism at the front of the car was made.

ABOUT 140 THOUSAND

What kind of mysterious Renault models are AVTOVAZ planning to produce in the amount of about 140 thousand per year? Here is my personal version: these are the Logans and Sanderos of the current generation. Since the appearance of “Logan-2” is already predetermined (the premiere will be in Paris in the fall, and the Geneva “Lodge” showed what it will be like), and the capacities for the first one are still quite capable - why not give it to Tolyatti, and maybe to Izhevsk? The Moscow Avtoframos will concentrate on the Duster, Fluence and other models, fortunately demand allows. Suppliers are ready, technologically this step is justified - we will soon find out whether I got it right or not.

Features of Lada Largus

In Largus there is a Renault Logan . There are two versions of the model with a 1.6-liter engine, differing in power (87 and 105 horsepower). One engine comes with eight valves, and the other with sixteen valves and two camshafts. The Renaul Logan, which became the prototype for the creation of the new Lada, is considered a budget option. The capabilities of the machine have already been tested in practice many times. In addition, it will be important for car owners to know that French engines have proven themselves in practice only from the best side. The machine is equipped with a simple and reliable five-speed gearbox, which consists entirely of spare parts from French manufacturers. Suspension springs and damping devices were selected based on the capacity and poor quality of the road surface. The new Lada uses a front subframe on which the engine is mounted. The steering rack and power steering are also attached to it. A torsion bar is used as the rear suspension of a car. It helps separate the combination of springs and damping devices. This design allows you to increase the distance between the arches of the rear tires and thereby increase the volume of the trunk. The bottom of the luggage compartment has a flat shape since there are no “cups” of racks at the rear, which take up space in the trunks of vehicles with independent suspension . The Largus design made it possible to create a large volume both in the luggage compartment and inside the cabin. A car enthusiast can choose a cargo-passenger model of Largus and a configuration only for transporting people. The car's capacity is 5-7 people. People with considerable height can easily sit in the 2nd row. They will not push into the back of the driver's seat. The high roof and square-shaped opening allow you to easily transfer to the 3rd row without unnecessary inconvenience. Two people over 180 cm tall can easily fit in the 3rd row. Largus's trunk simply surprises with its size. The seven-seat station wagon has smaller luggage space. There are special locks on the doors at the back of the car. They help you choose the opening angle of the doors, open them completely or slightly open them. This feature is very important when loading large cargo.

PRESIDENTIAL RACE

We are driving the Largus again, but now under the wheels is not the concrete of the track, but the asphalt of the Samara highway. This is the car of project director Mikhail Ryabov, and he himself is driving, hurrying to the AVTOVAZ training ground - tomorrow the Presidential race will be held here, that is, the leaders will fight for the prize of the head of AVTOVAZ.

We pass a railway crossing, and I remember with pleasure the Logan with its wonderful, simply royal pendants. "Largus", despite being able to carry seven, inherited the smoothness, comfort, and controllability of its progenitor. I remember the words of Monsieur Schweitzer, the head of Renault and the father of Logan: “Our car is modern, affordable, reliable.” It is a real art to combine three of these qualities in one car. But I digress. And the other crew members fell silent, planning to take a nap in the warmth on the spacious middle sofa and in the third row (there are five of us in the cabin, plus luggage).

Interesting information about Lada Largus

At the start of mass production of the Lada Largus, Russian Prime Minister Putin made his personal contribution. He learned more about the assembly process and talked with the workers. After the first production car with number 000001 was produced, Vladimir Vladimirovich, together with French, Japanese and Russian employees of the concern, left a painting on the hood of the car. The warranty period for a new Lada car is 3 years or one hundred thousand kilometers. AvtoVAZ has increased the warranty on some parts that quickly wear out during operation. The warranty on shock absorbers is 2 years (thirty thousand kilometers), batteries – 2 years (sixty thousand kilometers), etc.

Pros and cons of Lada Largus

The main advantage of the Lada Largus is its spaciousness and convenience. The correct arrangement of seats creates all the conditions for the convenience of the driver and the passenger sitting to his right. The instrument panel is very easy to use, the instrument cluster is easy to read. There are pockets on the tailgates that can hold small items. The disadvantages of the Largus are poor noise insulation, reduced ground clearance due to the spare wheel being located under the bottom of the car, a small range of functions in the standard version (there is no ABS system, front electric windows). An inconvenience for Russian motorists is the location of the signal button on the steering column lever. The view from the driver's seat is slightly hampered by the A-pillar on the right side. It partially covers the outside mirror. Foreign media recognized the Lada Largus as the main car of the AvtoVAZ concern. It took almost 4 years to achieve such success. Over the years, the company has managed to change production taking into account the requests of domestically assembled foreign cars. The localization level of auto parts is close to 50%. It is planned to increase this parameter to 80%.

Hello Logan!

The paucity of adjustments in the driver's seat does not interfere with getting comfortable. Since the steering wheel is adjustable only in angle, and the seat cannot be adjusted in height, I move closer to the steering wheel, which I lower as low as possible. I adjust the mirrors using miniature levers without any problems. You don’t even have to reach for the one on the passenger side - the cabin is not too wide. By the way, about the mirrors: when you first look at the van, you think that a car with a length of 4470 mm could have larger mirrors, but it turns out that everything is in order with visibility back both in the parking lot and in motion. True, when you back up, parking sensors are sorely lacking - you have to rely on the mirrors and the eye.

In motion, the Largus is very reminiscent of its “brother” Logan - there are the same accurate, but not too sharp reactions to steering, the same long travel of the clutch pedal and the same noticeable roll in corners. As for Logan's main trump card - smoothness of ride - it is only partly inherent in Largus. The ride becomes truly comfortable only when the body is loaded. If there is only one driver on board, the car goes through uneven surfaces rather harshly, bucking up on speed bumps and making a loud noise when working through potholes. But the energy intensity here is generous; the suspension does not break even on large holes and bumps.

In terms of directional stability, by the standards of the segment, everything is great. The car does not yaw on a high-speed straight line and holds its trajectory in a bunch of fast turns, despite the high center of mass. The only thing I didn’t like about this particular example was the lack of power steering. Because of this, the “steering wheel” turned out to be too heavy in parking modes, and in slow sharp turns the steering wheel had to be vigorously returned to the zero position. In short, you cannot refuse the above option, even if the goal is to save as much as possible when purchasing. Moreover, they ask for a quite acceptable 10,000 rubles for the amplifier.

ABOUT POWER

Studying the technical specifications plate, I saw very familiar (I remember from Logan) numbers: 64 kW, that is, 90 hp. Excuse me, not 90, but 87 hp! I know the coefficient: 1.36... But if it works for all other Dacia and Renault engines, then here the “horses” bucked and attributed to themselves three extra heads - both in the Tolyatti cars and earlier in the Moscow ones. In general, this is a matter for the manufacturer; let him write at least 190 in brochures and prospectuses. Because in the official documents of, say, the editorial “Logan” (PTS, registration certificate), the same engine looks more honest: 64 kW/87 hp. I hope it will be the same on the frets. And then, you know, taxes, they are calculated from the “horses”.

In the article, to avoid confusion, in most cases I gave power in kilowatts.

Lada-Largus: let's break it down into pieces

ZR - PRO "LOGAN MCV"

From its very appearance, it aroused great interest, and we waited to answer the question: will there be a car in Russia? - someday there will be an affirmative answer. Unable to bear it, we undertook an expedition to France to get acquainted with the new product ( ZR, 2007, No. 7 ). They noted the impressive capacity, practicality, efficiency, and were amazed at the unusual seat belt design for the fifth passenger. And then a reader unexpectedly called: “I bought a Logan MCV, would you like to do a test?” “Dacia” then easily defeated its classmates - “Fiat-Doblo” and “Peugeot-Partner”, disappointing only with its brilliant absence on the Russian market and not quite intelligible brakes ( ZR, 2007, No. 12 ).

The next was material about Largus, made after its first display at an exhibition in the Moscow Manege dedicated to the 45th anniversary of AVTOVAZ ( ZR, 2011, No. 10 ).

Positive qualities of Lada Largus

In addition, AvtoVAZ offers potential buyers a dozen passenger station wagons and vans of this particular model. Lada Largus was developed with the support and participation of foreign partners, and represents

a high-quality, albeit budget car. Among the undeniable advantages of this vehicle, it is worth noting that it has a voluminous trunk and a fairly large capacity, which provides an excellent opportunity to transport even very large and heavy loads. Lada Largus may become the best Russian family car, as experts suggest.

This fact will be appreciated by residents not only of rural areas. The developers have significantly reduced the cost of most units. All this became possible thanks to the introduction and use of developments that have proven themselves in the world of the automotive industry. In particular, the car can be equipped with two petrol engine options. Cars of this model range consume up to 10 liters of gasoline per 100 km, with a maximum speed of 165 km/h.

Lada Largus at the auto exhibition

The new universal Lada Largus with increased cargo capacity, created on a modern innovative platform from the Renault-Nissan Automobile Alliance, is simply a super car.

Models [edit | edit code]

Largus R90 [edit | edit code]

The passenger station wagon is offered in 5- and 7-seater versions.

The trunk volume of the five-seater version of Largus is 560 liters. For a seven-seater car it is only 135 hp.

Largus F90 [edit | edit code]

Cargo van, unlike Largus R90, model F90

has solid back and side panels.

Largus Cross [edit | edit code]

Like the regular Largus, it is offered in 5 and 7-seater versions. [6] In 2016, in honor of its 50th anniversary, AvtoVAZ introduced the Largus Cross Black Edition. It differs from the standard version in new black wheels, roof and side mirrors. [7]

Largus CNG [edit | edit code]

A version of the car with LPG was launched into production in January 2019. [8]

Why Lada 4×4 was previously called Niva

The name “Niva” belongs to the SUV since 1977, and in 2003 it was changed to LADA 4×4. The company owns the Niva name through the former GM-AVTOVAZ JV, which was acquired at the end of 2022.

At one time, in an interview, the chief designer of Niva, Pyotr Mikhailovich Prusov, spoke about the origin of the name:

"Niva" was named after the children - mine and the first chief designer Solovyov. I had daughters Natalya and Irina. And he has two sons - Vadim and Andrey. There was a slight hiccup with the name. It turned out that there was already such a Niva combine. It was possible, of course, to rename it, but for me it was very personal.

However, it was a joke.

In fact, the designation “Niva” is a short, sweet-sounding word in the Russian language with positive associations. Similar-sounding words are found in English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Czech, and Polish. We wrote more about this here.

Bronto is a division for the production of special vehicles and SUVs of AVTOVAZ JSC.

Urban - translated from English as “urban”.

Pre-production assembly of Lada Largus R90

On the penultimate day of January this year, the so-called pre-production assembly of an all-terrain station wagon on the B0 platform Lada Largus R90 began at AvtoVAZ production facilities.
The entire trial batch will consist of 90 cars. The entire batch is intended to be sent to dealers for further demonstration to potential consumers and debugging of various maintenance processes. This information was shared with journalists by Mikhail Ryabov, head of the joint project of the largest Russian passenger car manufacturer AvtoVAZ and the Renault-Nissan automobile alliance “Cars on the B0 platform.” The project’s own painting facilities will open only in August 2012, but for now Largus are being painted along with Granta and Kalina. Before the final production of passenger cars of this family, manufacturers will have to solve a number of problems - in particular, to achieve the proper quality of components, develop technological processes that fully meet Renault-Nissan standards, and ensure a high level of training for personnel involved in the assembly.

MANY DAYS AGO

It all started... “It all started in 2008, when Renault bought 25% plus one share of AVTOVAZ,” picks up Sergei Korzhenovsky, deputy head of the RF90 project. This is how the factory documents designate the current Largus, that is, a station wagon (R90) and a van (F90) on the B0 platform of the Renault concern (it served as the base for Logan and Sandero, and several more models will be built on it).

We began to look for common ground, to choose cars that could be produced at AVTOVAZ. We considered the whole range, but quickly settled on the B0 platform: these machines have already shown themselves well, primarily in Eastern Europe. But Logan was already being made in Moscow, Sandero was also planned to be produced at Avtoframos, so the choice was actually predetermined: the Logan-MCV station wagon. It had a successful start in the markets of the Old World and, according to our expectations, would also come in very handy in Russia, complementing the AvtoVAZ range.”

Other abbreviations and abbreviations of AVTOVAZ

What does CNG mean? Compressed Natural Gas – compressed natural gas (methane). Currently they produce Lada Vesta CNG and Lada Largus CNG.

FL (short for facelift). This is another name - restyling. These are minimal updates that are made to a model to increase consumer demand for it until a new model is released.

Complete modernization

The vehicle, modernized according to the latest versions of the automotive industry, is the first project in the union of AVTOVAZ and its new partners. For production in the Russian Federation, the car was thoroughly modified. Special attention should be paid to the changes to the front of the car, the instrument panel, strengthening the chassis and increasing corrosion resistance.

To implement the first collective plan, the old assembly line was repaired and reconstructed as much as possible, and workshops were opened for painting and welding various parts of cars.

On the video - review of the 2014 Lada Largus, part 1:

Manufacturers are counting on producing cars on the new B0 platform under three car brands - Lada, Renault, Nissan. The production line capacity is about 350 thousand cars per year. According to the preliminary project, the production volume of Lada models is approximately 70 thousand units. Today, the pace of Lada assembly has already been brought to the previously planned level, which is 330 units per day.

The manufacturer's recommended retail price in the dealer network for cars of the family starts at 354 thousand rubles. The Lux, Standard, Standard configuration options and pricing policy are calculated based on the specific features of their assembly and the inclusion of extended configuration.

Since the start of sales, over 110 thousand Lada Largus cars, which were developed on the basis of Renault Logan, have been sold. Most of the models produced are passenger station wagons, they say at the plant, and they do not occupy the last place in the rating of passenger cars.

Prices and configurations of Lada Largus

Prices for Lada Largus start at 319,000 rubles for the cargo version. Passenger versions will cost from 349,000 rubles. According to Kolesa.Ru, even in the luxury configuration, the cost of the new product will not exceed 500,000 rubles. As VAZ employees told us, buyers, judging by surveys, will be very willing to purchase versions at a price of about 450,000 rubles.

The basic “Standard” package for the passenger version of the Lada Largus includes a metal crankcase protection, brackets for securing cargo in the floor of the luggage compartment, hydraulic headlight adjustment, hinged rear doors with heated windows, a full-size spare wheel under the bottom of the trunk, a height-adjustable steering column, and audio preparation.

In the “Norma” version, Lada Largus is equipped (in addition to the “Standard”) with central locking, front electric windows, ABS, emergency braking booster, power steering, tinted windows, bumpers painted in body color, height-adjustable front seat belts, separate rear seat folding in a ratio of 2:3.

Power steering, air conditioning, passenger and side airbags will be available as additional equipment in the “Norma” package.
