Dimensions, volumes and features of trunks on VAZ 2113, 2114 and 2115

VAZ cars, 2113, 2114 and 2115 are models that are popular among domestic drivers. This is due to their low cost, maintainability, relative reliability and unpretentiousness. And the practicality of using the car depends on the volume of the trunk of the VAZ 2114.

The trunk of the 2113 model is transformable: the driver can remove the shelf and fold down the rear seats. After this, its capacity is 632 liters. The hatchback allows you to transport small and long cargo.

Disadvantages include the lack of standard lighting (when tuning a car, you install it yourself), a high loading side, which makes it difficult to place cargo inside.

Trunk

Due to the ability to fold the rear seat, this car can easily be transformed into a utility vehicle. For this car model, the trunk volume is:

• 330 dm 3 with seats folded down;
• 600 dm 3 with rear seats folded.

This capacity of the machine allows it to transport even large cargo, which is especially important for those who often face the need to deliver any goods or cargo for other purposes to the unloading point. With the seats folded down, the trunk volume almost doubles.

In addition, if you need to transport a large amount of cargo, or, for example, you are going on a trip with the whole family, you do not have to be limited to 330 liters of space for storing things. Various fastenings and installations are available for sale for this car model, which allow you to transport much more things than will fit in the luggage compartment.

For example, you can install a roof rack. Various options for such mounts are available for sale:

1. Autoboxes.
2. Fastenings for sports equipment.
3. Baskets.
4. Expeditionary roof racks.

Thus, you will be able to make your car even more spacious and free up space for passengers.

How much does a VAZ car weigh?

The table shows the following data: curb and gross weight of vehicles of various modifications of the VAZ brand (VAZ).

Curb weight of a vehicle is the total weight of a vehicle with standard equipment, all necessary operating consumables and fluids (for example, engine oil and coolant), a full tank of fuel, but without cargo, passengers and driver.

Gross vehicle weight - the maximum weight of the equipped vehicle (with fuel, water and engine oil and equipment - spare wheel, tools) with passengers, driver and cargo (at the rate of 10 kg for each seat).

Disadvantages include the lack of standard lighting (when tuning a car, you install it yourself), a high loading side, which makes it difficult to place cargo inside.

VAZ 2114

VAZ 2114 is a reliable five-door car. The capacity is 330 liters with the seats folded down, and with the seats folded down it is equal to 632 liters. The loading height of the side has an inconvenient level (similar to that used on the thirteenth model), which significantly complicates the loading process.

The dimensions of the trunk are as follows: length - 830 millimeters with the seats folded and almost 1660 millimeters with them unfolded, width - 935 millimeters, depth - 830 millimeters, height - 780 millimeters. These dimensions are approximate and are valid for models 2113 and 2114.

Transformation capabilities allow you to load items whose length and dimensions differ from standard dimensions. When installing additional luggage structures on the roof, you can transport a certain amount of large cargo.

The capacity, expressed in liters, is identical to the volume, which is indicated in cubic decimeters.

VAZ 2115

The trunk volume of the VAZ 2115 is 427 liters with the seats folded down; if they are unfolded, the capacity increases to 700 liters. The dimensions of the luggage compartment have been increased, thanks to which even large-sized cargo can be transported on the fifteenth model.

The advantages include ease of dismantling, installation of a shelf, as well as a convenient height for loading. It is located almost at the level of a car bumper.

Drivers often improve sound insulation and standard luggage compartment lining. They install an electric drive for opening the lid, install lighting, and construct boxes for storing small items (however, due to their installation, the trunk significantly loses volume).

Trunk Features

The features of the luggage compartments of various modifications of models 2113, 2114, 2115 include an acceptable level of capacity and the possibility of transforming the interior to increase useful volume.

The VAZ 2115 is distinguished by a convenient loading height and a larger trunk volume than the Lada 2115. Otherwise, the design of the cargo compartment is identical to other models.

Cars are equipped with a standard shelf; it is installed vertically and separates the luggage compartment and the interior. If necessary (for example, when transporting large cargo that requires folding the rear seats), this shelf and the vertical curtain can be removed.

On Lada 2113, 2114, 2115 cars, under the “floor” of the trunk there is a niche for storing a spare wheel and tools necessary for quickly repairing small faults that may arise along the way.

The VAZ 2115 is distinguished by a convenient loading height and a larger trunk volume than the Lada 2115. Otherwise, its design is identical to other models.

The VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115 models, which are modifications of the “eights”, “nines” and “ninety-nines”, respectively, have become more ergonomic, easy to use, and practical. The cars received spacious luggage compartments, which increased the amount of cargo transported. The presence of a number of shortcomings does not deter drivers: some inconveniences can be corrected on their own.

Cars of the VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115 family are popular not only in Russia, but also in the CIS countries.

This is due to the wide distribution of these cars, their unpretentiousness, relative reliability, maintainability and cost.

The machines have an acceptable loading niche capacity, which makes them convenient to use for solving everyday household problems or running a small business.

Modernization

Whatever one may say, after several years of operation, even the most elegant car wants to be modernized. Automakers have long understood this, periodically introducing restylings and tuners making changes on their own.

Regarding the 15th model, many attempts at modernization were carried out at the amateur level. Some images of such tuned cars have every right to be called masterpieces, others, to put it mildly, are not impressive.

When the car's mileage reaches 50 thousand km, it's time to think about the suspension. Tuners recommend upgrading it first, as one of the weakest areas.

Over time, the reaction is no longer the same as before, when even on the icy road 2115 confidently passed through flat sections and turns. Now the rear of the car begins to toss from side to side, and the acceleration dynamics and handling are no longer the same.

The second, no less important note relates to the comfort of the car. Over time, the already frail sound insulation completely wears out. Everything starts to creak, including the rear parcel shelf.

Modernization also concerns the introduction of various options. To be honest, almost all VAZ car models reach the end user as “semi-finished products”. There is no competent anti-corrosion treatment of the body, there are no required comfort and safety parameters.

Here are the activities that are usually carried out, such as tuning and modernization on the 15th model:

• Installation of lockers and protection of the power unit crankcase;
• Replacement of sedan door and trunk locks with new, silent ones;
• Replacement of covers;
• Modernization of disks by installing new cast ones;
• Noise insulation and anti-creak treatment of various parts of the body, necessarily the roof and doors;
• Body painting and anti-corrosion treatment of the floor and other components most susceptible to corrosion;
• Installation of body reinforcement (struts);
• Replacing bumpers;
• Replacement of wing and spoilers;
• Remodeling doors and much more.

Painting

Painting has a longer history than the car itself. At least if you mean a paint gun. Modern tools are made at the highest level and make it easy and quick to paint a part or the entire body in the appropriate color.

Note that small scratches on the paintwork of the 15th model can be easier to remove by polishing. But if they are too deep and reach the ground or metal, you have to paint them.

As you know, painting can be carried out in 2 ways: partially, when the parts are painted with a transition, or completely.

Transition painting is applicable only in cases where one or another body section is being restored. This method has both advantages and disadvantages.

Note. In particular, with this method, body parts will not need to be dismantled, and therefore the structure will not be damaged. On the other hand, partial painting cannot guarantee the long-lasting effect of paintwork as much as complete painting.

It was written above about the pistol, but you can paint the 15th model in your garage using a spray can. But this method has many disadvantages:

• The spray can has an uneven spray, which significantly complicates painting (an overly saturated jet causes smudges);
• It is difficult to choose the appropriate color of paint sold in cans;
• Spray paint fades faster over time (such paint protects the surface less well).

Advice. If, however, you chose the spray can painting method, it is recommended to apply thin layers, keeping the spray can as far as possible from the body part.

Example of painting a rusty part

Let's say that this is the wing of the 15th VAZ model:

• Wash the car completely;
• Get rid of rust by sanding the part with coarse sandpaper and applying a degreaser;
• Restore the geometric dimensions of the part by applying layers of putty.

Attention. If the body part is subject to frequent vibrations, then ordinary putty will not work. You need to choose one with aluminum particles.

Regarding the application of putty:

• It must first be properly diluted with the hardener, doing this in small portions (the mixture dries quickly);
• You need to apply it directly to the surface, remembering that the putty dries for about a quarter of an hour if the room temperature is at least 20 degrees.

We continue the painting stage:

• After the putty has dried, you need to start cleaning (treating the surface with sandpaper until the part becomes smooth);
• We apply the first layer of primer, which will protect the part from corrosion and guarantee the durability of the paintwork.

Note. When choosing a primer, you need to pay attention to its consistency with the color of the car’s paint. So, if the car is painted black, the primer should be of some dark shade; if it is silver, it is advisable to select a light shade.

More on primer:

• It is advisable that it be applied using special equipment and tools (spray gun, compressor, respirator, etc.);
• Before applying primer, it is recommended to cover the car with a special film or, in extreme cases, paper;
• It is advisable to apply the primer in two layers, first degreasing the surfaces.

• After the soil has dried, it must be treated with 800-grit sandpaper;
• We now prepare the room for painting, removing all the dust around with water (we cover all parts of the car except the wing);
• We apply the paint in several layers, leaving each layer to dry for 1 minute (as a rule, after the 3rd layer the wing will already be what it needs);
• We wait for 15 minutes to dry completely, and then coat it with varnish.

Advice. Before applying the varnish, it is recommended to go over the paint with a clean cloth, since the varnish itself is very sensitive to remaining grains of sand (even if they are microscopic).

The varnish is also applied in two layers, allowing it to dry for 2 minutes.

Body reinforcement

This modernization helps to significantly simplify the operation of the machine. After such strengthening, cornering on VAZ models will be more confident, even at high speed. In addition, and more importantly, the degree of deformation is reduced.

It is recommended to install spacers from well-known manufacturing companies, but it is better to avoid products made in a handicraft manner.

Installation will not create any difficulties. It will be enough to buy the part, and then install and secure it accordingly.

Tuning

There are several possible ways to increase engine power. Let's talk about these tuning options in more detail:

• Chip tuning of the VAZ 2115 engine will not allow you to obtain any noticeable effect. Even by replacing the engine control unit, the car owner will be able to get 3-5 horsepower, the increase of which will be almost imperceptible.
• Deep engineering tuning of VAZ 2115 engines, which involves replacing the camshaft and other power elements, will increase the engine power to 85 horsepower. Such an increase of 10 horses will already be noticeable, and the car will accelerate faster, especially from low revs.
• Replacing the throttle body and exhaust will increase power to 95 horsepower.
• If the engine power limit of 100 horses is important to you, then you need to install lightweight valves, mill the cylinder head and replace the intake manifold. A car with such a tuned engine will accelerate 1-2 seconds faster than with a basic 78-horsepower engine. A further increase in power by replacing internal power parts will not allow you to obtain the desired horsepower, and the service life of the motor is significantly reduced.
• An alternative way to increase the power of a VAZ 2115 engine is to install a compressor with a pressure of about 0.5 bar. If the compressor is properly configured, the engine power will be about 120 horsepower. At the same time, when resorting to such tuning, the car owner must be prepared to reduce the service life of the engine, which may require appropriate major repairs after only 75-100 thousand kilometers.

Install houses on the rear suspension of the car

We approached the issue of installing spacers (houses) between the lower end of the rear shock absorber and the eyes of the rear suspension beam of the VAZ 2110. The convenience of this method of raising the car is that the houses, due to special holes, allow you to choose the height of the increase in ground clearance.

There are a lot of disputes about the advisability of installing “houses”; some claim that this is a good way to raise the rear if the springs have sagged, others cite a number of negative statements. Only one thing is clear: if you decide to install shock absorber spacers, then do not forget that three important parameters will change along with this:

• position of the brake force regulator (“sorcerer”);
• headlight adjustment;
• the longitudinal inclination angle of the steering axis of the front wheels (caster).

These parameters are directly related to the safety of the car on the road, so it is important not to forget to adjust them

What is the weight of the VAZ-2115

The very first VAZ car was the VAZ-2101 Zhiguli model, which was released in the spring of 1970. Production was based on an analogue of the Fiat concern, and VAZ owes its appearance to the FIat-124 car, which appeared 4 years earlier.

The difference lies only in some design modifications.

The weight of the first VAZ car was 955 kg, of which only 114 were the engine itself. Now the Russian auto industry is more diverse in car models, and VAZ is not as popular as before, especially when compared with imported manufacturers.

About VAZ-2115

The VAZ-2115, part of the Lada Samara line, is radically different from its predecessor both in appearance and, accordingly, in dimensions. The front-wheel drive subcompact sedan developed by VAZ is no longer produced. Its production began in 1997 and closed not so long ago - in 2012, which is quite reasonable, given the speed of modernization of vehicles.

This model became the first-born of its line and was designed under the code name “Samara-2”. The basis of the modernization is to change the rear part of the body - lighting devices and the luggage compartment lid.

The entire model is a restyling of the VAZ-21099.

If you look closely, there are quite a lot of differences:

• more rounded sections of the body;
• trunk lid shape;
• rear and front optics;
• bumpers painted to match the body color;
• door moldings;
• threshold fairings;
• spoiler with additional brake light;
• completely new interior;
• improved electrical equipment.

What to do if the check light on a VAZ-2115 is on

All models with pilot modifications were equipped with VAZ-21083 carburetor engines, but this only happened from 1997 to 2000. In 2008, the VAZ-2115 underwent significant cosmetic changes in order to be a little more suitable according to modern criteria to foreign car brands. But this did not become a winning idea - the car was discontinued.

Technical characteristics and parameters of the car

The overall dimensions of the VAZ-2115 car are not much different from other car models of a similar modification.

Vehicle parameters:

• the total weight of the VAZ-2115 is exactly 1 ton - 1,000 kg;
• the vehicle's carrying capacity is slightly less than half its weight - 425 kg;
• fuel tank volume – 43 l;
• number of seats – 5 pcs.;
• luggage compartment volume – 427 l;
• assembly – Russia, Tolyatti;
• length – 4.33 m;
• width – 1.65 m;
• height – 1.4 m;
• ground clearance - 16.5 cm;
• wheelbase - 2.46 m;
• rear track - 1.37 m;
• front track - 1.4 m.

Engine characteristics depend on the year of manufacture of the car - 2111, 21114, 111083 (but all four-cylinder with an approximate weight of up to 130 kg).

Initially, all models were equipped with 1.5 liter carburetor engines. But now tuning enthusiasts are modernizing their iron horses. At first there were 8-valve 1.6-liter engines, and later 16-valve engines.

• Even years after the VAZ-2115 was discontinued, many tuning kits can still be found in specialized stores, which indicates the popularity of this sedan.
• Technical parameters of the VAZ-2115 engine
• The VAZ-2115, or “tag” in common parlance, was discontinued at the end of 2012 due to the launch of the next, safer VAZ model, which was distinguished by increased safety and a modern appearance - the Lada Granta.

Ground clearance VAZ 2114

Ground clearance is the distance from the lowest point in the center of the car body to the ground. However, the manufacturer of the Lada 2114 Samara measures the ground clearance as it suits him. This means that the distance from the shock absorbers, engine oil pan or muffler to the asphalt may be less than the stated ground clearance.

An interesting point: car buyers pay special attention to ground clearance, because in our country good ground clearance is a necessity; it will save you from headaches when parking to curbs. The ground clearance height of the Lada 2114 Samara is 165 mm. But be careful when going on vacation or returning with shopping: a loaded car will easily lose 2-3 centimeters of ground clearance

But be careful when going on vacation or returning with shopping: a loaded car will easily lose 2-3 centimeters of ground clearance

The ground clearance height of the Lada 2114 Samara is 165 mm. But be careful when going on vacation or returning with shopping: a loaded car will easily lose 2-3 centimeters of ground clearance.

If desired, the ground clearance of any car can be increased using spacers for shock absorbers. The car will become taller. However, it will lose its former stability at high speeds and will lose greatly in maneuverability. The ground clearance can also be reduced; for this, as a rule, it is enough to replace the standard shock absorbers with tuning ones: the handling and stability will immediately please you.

Button control

It is very convenient when control (opening the trunk) is carried out from a button. Every car owner knows that it is very important to ensure that the trunk, like the car doors, closes securely. Reliable operation of trunk locks is just as important as the reliability of the lock on a garage or apartment door. All modern car models are equipped with a trunk opening mechanism using a control panel or a special button. Installing a mechanism with a button not only makes control more convenient, but also solves a number of problems. In particular, this solves the problem of icing of the lock, which is opened with a key.

VAZ 2115: technical characteristics

The 15th model has been modernized more than once over the entire production period. From the beginning of 2000, it was produced as the VAZ 21150, the technical characteristics of which were much better.

Engine

The predecessors were equipped with carburetor four-cylinder engines of 1.1 and 1.3 liters. But after 1999 they were written off, and the fifteenth model received a newer power unit. The VAZ 2111 came off the assembly line with a 1.5-liter engine equipped with distributed injection with a power of 77.8 liters. With.

Since 2007, VAZ 11183 began to be equipped with injection engines with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 80.9 liters. With. Structurally, they were practically no different from the previous version, only the piston stroke changed (from 71 to 75 mm), and the cylinders increased to 82 mm, which led to an increase in volume and power.

The installation of higher power engines made it possible to improve the parameters of the car. The maximum speed reached 170-180 km/h, but the acceleration time to 100 km/h changed little and amounted to 14 s. Average fuel consumption in city mode is 10 liters, but on the highway it does not exceed 5.7 liters.

Transmission and suspension

“Pyatnashka” is a front-wheel drive sedan with a standard five-speed manual transmission. The gearbox has one difficulty: first gear and reverse gear are engaged in the same way, which leads to unpleasant situations, especially when moving backwards.

The chassis is durable and resistant to poor quality road surfaces. This car has earned special love from car owners. The front suspension is a shock absorber strut, the rear suspension is a coil spring. The model is stable on the road, easy to control and unpretentious.

Steering and brake system

The steering has a rack and pinion mechanism and two rods, which have rubber-metal joints on the steering mechanism side and ball joints in the area of ​​the swing arms. The standard steering wheel size is 37 cm (M). The basic configuration does not include an amplifier. The control of the “tag” is considered injury-proof (this is confirmed by motorists who have crash-tested the car) and convenient, thanks to the adjustable angle of the steering column.

The car's braking system is quite simple. The front wheels are equipped with disc mechanisms, and the rear wheels are equipped with drum mechanisms. A working system with diagonal separation of contours is used. One ensures the operation of the front left and rear right mechanisms. The hydraulic drive circuit is responsible for the operation of the opposite pair of brake elements. This ensures high driving safety.

If one circuit fails, the second will be used, which will ensure shutdown with sufficient efficiency. The handbrake has a drive to the brake mechanisms of the rear wheels. The luxury package was complemented by ABC.

Electrical equipment

In addition to the standard generator, battery and starter, cars of this brand in some trim levels were equipped with heated driver and passenger seats, as well as power windows on the front doors. Additional signaling devices (controllers) were built in to inform the driver about certain problems. All additional options could be installed only at the request of the buyer.

Main competitors

The main competitors from domestic brands were Lada-Granta and VAZ 2111. The “Eleventh” model has a spacious interior and a large luggage compartment, which determined its advantage.

Reviews about the fifteenth model are mostly positive. Owners are satisfied with: stability on the road, ease of maintenance and a fairly low price. But the small interior is not very comfortable, especially for transporting passengers in the back seat.

The car is economical, comfortable, and stable on the road. Quite frisky. If you invest a little money in tuning, it will have no equal. It can even compete with the Priora, having less weight than it. The instrument panel is easy to read. The steering wheel turns easily. There was a desire to install an EUR, I went to the rocking chair - now I don’t need it. The trunk is roomy and the load capacity is excellent - I loaded it with 4 bags of cement, the mudguards were plowing, but I got there fine.

Differences between the model and its predecessors

It is worth noting that this car has undergone the most significant changes in comparison with previous representatives of the line. The car body was completely modernized: it acquired smoother contours and became 22 centimeters longer.

The front of the car acquired original narrow headlights, the shape of the hood and front fenders changed. The bumpers took on modern shapes and began to be painted in body color, and additional brake lights appeared on the rear spoiler. The rear lights were supplemented with intermediate inserts, which increased the attractiveness of the rear of the car.

The trunk volume and carrying capacity of the vehicle have increased. The interior of the car has also changed, which is complemented by an updated dashboard and improved seats. The built-in steering column adjuster lever, which made it possible to set the optimal position of the steering wheel for drivers of different builds, also speaks in favor of the model.

Interior

The interior is no different from the VAZ 2114. There is the same two-spoke steering wheel and an identical dashboard with all the necessary sensors and a primitive on-board computer. At the top of the center console there are buttons for turning on the side lights and headlights, heated rear window and, depending on the configuration, fog lights. Below are two air ducts combined into a single unit, then the heater control unit. From the factory there was no talk of any audio system, but the manufacturer provided a standard place for the radio. At the very bottom there is an ashtray and a cigarette lighter (heritage of the VAZ 2109).

In the central tunnel between the front seats there are gear shift and parking brake levers. The glove compartment on the front passenger side is not the most spacious, but it is complemented by a small shelf below. Neither the front nor the rear seats have lateral support and are covered with ordinary fabric material. There is not much space in the back - it is comfortable for two people, but three passengers will have to make room. The fundamental difference from the VAZ 2108 is only in the absence of rear doors.

The steering column is adjustable in only one direction - up or down. There are electronic indicators on the panel; they inform about temperature, total and current mileage. There is an unobtrusive backlight, adjustable in brightness. As standard equipment, there is an electric drive for power windows on the front doors.

Since 2007, a more rigid dashboard has been installed, which, according to engineers, should increase body rigidity and reduce the level of extraneous noise, but in reality this is not the case.

What do 2115 and 2110 have in common?

As you can easily see, the dimensions of both cars are approximately equal. Moreover, the 10th model is wider, and the 15th is longer. The trunks have equal volume. The technical equipment, as well as the set of electrical equipment, are largely similar. In both cases, the door opening of the storage compartment is wide and makes it easy to load and remove very large loads.

The machines also have:

• good ECUs for their time;
• comparable motor power;
• identical fuel consumption.

If we talk about salons, then they are not much different. The finishing is made of cheap, creaky plastic and textiles of moderate quality. At the same time, the Samara’s instrument panel is more modern, whereas on the 10th model it looks almost classic.

Neither 2115 nor 2110 have such gadgets as:

• auto-locking system;
• air conditioner;
• heated seats, etc.

At the same time, it should be taken into account that since cars are now sold exclusively on the secondary market, their equipment may differ significantly from the factory one, because tuning is a favorite pastime for many owners.

LADA Kalina

Toyota 3s fe engine: characteristics, malfunctions and tuning
Kalina are front-wheel drive cars of the “small class II group” (segment “B” by European standards). The family includes a sedan, a five-door hatchback and a station wagon. These three VAZs became the first AvtoVAZ “projects” developed using computer technology.

VAZ-1117 (2004–2018)

VAZ-1117 or LADA Kalina 1 - five-door station wagon

It has a narrowed front and a powerful rear with a large trunk lid. But the transitions between different parts of the car are smooth, so the car as a whole looks harmonious.

Lada Kalina has a shorter length and width than Lada Samara, therefore it has better maneuverability and is more suitable for driving on busy city roads

VAZ-1118 (2004–2013)

Lada Kalina Sedan seems small, but this is an optical illusion, since the dimensions are identical to 2117

VAZ-1118 (LADA Kalina sedan) seems smaller than a sedan, but this is an optical illusion, since their dimensions are the same. The front end can be called aggressive due to its predatory tapering headlights and narrow radiator grille. But the bumper is very neat, which makes the car light.

The rear of this model looks inconspicuous, as the only thing that can be distinguished from it is the massive trunk lid

VAZ-1119 (2006–2013)

The body of the VAZ-2119 is designed in the same style as that of the VAZ-1117

VAZ-1119 or LADA Kalina hatchback - the body of this model is designed in the same style as the VAZ-1117. The bumper is round in shape, the trunk lid is small and has a maximum glass area. The rear lights are arranged vertically and are more elongated in shape than those of the station wagon and sedan.

This model seems to be the neatest among its brothers in the LADA Kalina family, although its length is only 190 mm shorter, and there are no differences at all in width and height
