Let's look at the technical parameters of Largus using the example of Largus Cross 5 seats, the release of which was a successful solution for driving on Russian roads. For more than two years, Lada Largus has occupied a confident position among station wagons on the Russian market. A domestically assembled car, created on the basis of the B0 platform of the French Renault Logan, attracts consumers with its simplicity, reliability and spaciousness. There is also a modification of this model with 7 passenger seats. Despite the fact that this model has been on the market for a long time, the demand for it remains high. For potential buyers, this article will discuss the technical characteristics of the Lada Largus 5 seats.
External dimensions
Initially, the vehicle was designed as a universal micro truck for small business tasks. The car must carry a sufficient amount of cargo and feel comfortable on city streets crowded with traffic.
The manufacturer succeeded in this - the relatively compact car has sufficient capacity and increased ground clearance, which allows you to move normally on “killed” roads in small cities and towns.
The technical characteristics of the machine are as follows:
- Width – 1750 mm;
- Height – 1650 mm;
- Ground clearance – 145 mm;
- Length – 4470 mm.
Conventionally, it is convenient to park a truck where vehicle access is limited.
Geometric dimensions
If the so-called overall dimensions of the body were presented above, now we will talk about geometric ones. Knowing these dimensions will not only allow you to form an opinion about the car or help you choose, but will also make it possible to carry out professional repairs.

The set of distances between certain points of the body, called control points, is called geometry. They are initially installed by the manufacturer at the factory. It is clear that these points provide an ideal, precise position.
To check the compliance of the geometric dimensions of Lada cars, the owner must measure certain distances shown in the photo below.

It also wouldn't hurt to measure these dimensions.

Tired of paying fines? There is an exit!
- Absolutely legal (Article 12.2);
- Hides from photo and video recording;
- Suitable for all cars;
- Works through the cigarette lighter connector;
- Does not cause interference to radios and cell phones.
Internal dimensions and interior
Regarding the interior, the car is presented in a discreet design. At the same time, the seat of the passenger and driver itself is not modest - there is enough internal space even for motorists under 2 meters tall with an impressive build. Additionally, there is the ability to move the seats.
The decoration is modest, made by analogy with Renault Logan - laconic and functional.

Luggage compartment
Nv Lada Largus van the volume of the cargo compartment is the main advantage. Here the manufacturer tried to achieve maximum capacity and ease of loading large objects.
The trunk doors open 180 degrees, which allows you to “stuff” cargo into the car across the entire width of the body. Essentially, the inside is a square compartment with a rubber floor - this is designed to prevent the load from sliding. At the same time, some users remove the casing or cover it with plywood sheets - it is almost impossible to move the boxes on the stock rubber.
The ability to load entire pallets is highlighted. The width of the cargo compartment is 1020 mm, which makes it possible to work with a forklift.
The length of the box is 1850 mm. Consequently, the movement of large boxes or structures will not take you by surprise.
The total volume of the Lada Largus van body in cubes is 2540 liters, which is more than enough to transport small and large cargo. An additional advantage is the standard solution for such cars - moving the spare wheel under the bottom of the car. At the same time, the manufacturer has moved the spare tire mount so that its silhouette does not protrude from the bottom of the body. Therefore, nothing interferes with loading.
To increase useful space, some motorists dismantle the plastic bulkhead between the trunk and the passenger compartment. The useful length of the body is 195 cm, which in some cases is not enough. The insertion is removed as follows.
- Prepare heads No. 13, 17 and Torx keys T20/35/45.
- Remove the terminals from the battery and install the car on the handbrake.
- Remove the seat belt and unscrew the screw underneath.
- Remove the interior trim from the driver's cab side. This is done by hand - the parts are held on plastic clips. In this case, the halves of the partition are removed simultaneously. To dismantle the left part, you first need to unscrew everything, and then put the right part in place.
- Under the covers there are screws with 13 mm heads - they need to be unscrewed.
- Next you will need to move into the back of the car.
- Here you need to use the same keys to release the sash fasteners and remove it from its engagement.
At the same time, even this is not enough for some drivers. Users remove the machine's underbody trim to achieve increased compartment height. The procedure looks like this.
- Preparation for surgery is similar.
- Using a T30/40 wrench, unscrew 8 standard screws securing the plastic to the machine body.
- Carefully lift and remove the plastic from the body.
Before reinstallation, you will need to install rubber seals around the perimeter to prevent moisture from getting on the metal.
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.
Equipment
The roof rails are fully equipped with everything necessary for independent installation on the roof of your Lada Largus:
- Right railing - 1 pc.
- Left railing - 1 pc.
- Screw M8*20 - 2 pcs.
- Screw M8*50 - 2 pcs.
- Washer - 4 pcs.
- Hex key 5 mm - 1 pc.
- Roof protector
- Plug - 6 pcs.
IT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED: To independently modify, complete or repair the purchased product, as this entails loss of consumer and operational properties of the product, as well as loss of warranty.
Unfasten the partition or part of it
The partition separating the body and the cabin consists of two halves. They can be removed separately. Both parts are screwed to the body with screws designed for a 13mm key size. Of course, you need a socket wrench.
Screws 1 were hidden under the casing
The four screws on the left and right are located on the cab side. And to unscrew them, remove the casing.
A look into the future
Today Samotlor-NN produces about one hundred cars per month. There are great hopes for Cube: they want to make 5-10 thousand cars a year. The pre-announced price of a basic van with a 16-valve engine is 899,000 rubles. And, for example, a fully equipped version for dog handlers will cost 1.3 million rubles. The cars will be sold through the AVTOVAZ dealer network, while maintaining the factory warranty.
With comparable capacity, the domestic Sobol is several hundred thousand more expensive. Competitors - foreign cars - are only Citroen Berlingo and Peugeot Partner, but they are offered in factory versions, without modifications, and prices start from 1,119,000 rubles.
There are many potential clients, and the manufacturer places special hopes on government agencies - doctors, police, Russian Post, Sberbank. Government procurement rules make foreign-assembled cars inaccessible to them, and factory versions are not always suitable for the needs of the “profession”. And here Samotlor-NN will come in very handy with its Cube.
Roof rail coating for Largus
These roof rails have a unique two-layer coating of aluminum profiles. The first layer is a colorless anodic oxide coating that reliably protects the aluminum profile. This is the most reliable way to protect aluminum and its alloys from corrosion and other aggressive environmental influences. The second layer is a black polymer coating, applied electrostatically and baked at high temperature directly on the product. It is a reliable decorative layer. It has a matte velvety surface in a deep black color.
Let's sum it up
The owners today have gained considerable experience in using LADA Largus in various fields and industries. They all nod their heads contentedly when asked about the convenience and practicality of the trunk. On the Internet you will find only a limitless mass of positive reviews about this model.
The size of the trunk turned out to be sufficient for the car to effectively demonstrate its functionality and be able to take the lead from competitors “touching on their heels.” The manufacturer managed to competently and rationally arrange the body space, which allows the station wagon to effectively cope with large objects, demonstrating an enviable carrying capacity. We definitely note that we recommend purchasing this station wagon for those who have not yet found a real “hard worker” as a companion, possessing a full range of balanced consumer and technical properties.
