New Lada XRAY Cross 2022: photo and price, hatchback characteristics

Lada X-Ray is a small domestically produced car that embodies the basic ideas of a North American-type sports-utilitarian car. This brainchild of the AvtoVAZ plant went into mass production in December 2015. The model is produced at a plant in Tolyatti and is positioned on the Russian car market as a compact crossover. Sales started in 2016, XRAY is quite in demand and popular among J-segment cars. One of the questions often asked on the Internet is what kind of trunk does the Lada X Rey have? Let's try to answer it.

Dimensions of the car, including wheelbase

As for its length, if you take a measurement from the extreme points of the Lada xRay bumpers, the tape measure will show 416.4 cm. The Renault Sandero has exactly the same dimensions, which is not surprising, since they are made on the same platform.

Regarding the width, it is measured at the extreme points of the right and left mirrors that provide rear visibility, and it is equal to 198.3 cm. Moreover, if you fold the mirrors, then the wheel arches will become the extreme points, and the width of the body will become 176.4 cm.

By the way, about mirrors. Many Lada X-Ray owners, especially those who have previously driven a Renault Sandero, complain that the mirrors on our SUV, let’s say, do not provide sufficient rear view due to their small size.

The height of the body with crossbars, as well as without their installation on the roof of the Lada X-Ray, is 163.0 and 157.0 cm, respectively.

Ground clearance and cross-country ability of the lada xray
Lada XRAY is a compact crossover (or high hatchback, whatever you like) from a domestic manufacturer. The car, assembled at the Tolyatti plant, went on sale at the very beginning of last year.

During this time, he gained some popularity among car enthusiasts. Of course, there are some shortcomings, but thanks to the low price and wide functionality, some sins can be forgiven. In the article, we’ll talk about an interesting feature of the new miracle of AvtoVAZ - the luggage compartment. Let's look at the trunk x rack in detail.

Trunk dimensions of Lada x Rey

In order to find out how good the trunk is in the XRAY, you need to understand the overall dimensions of the car. The length, height and width of the machine are: 4,164 mm, 1,570 mm and 1,764 mm, respectively. The volume of the luggage compartment in liters is 376 liters.

At first glance, it seems a little small, but if you fold the rear seats, then its dimensions increase to 1,207 liters. And if, in addition to all this, the front passenger seat is folded out, then the volume becomes about 1,514 liters.

The XRAY trunk is not particularly large. In addition to the low loading height, there are also convenient hooks for bags, a double bottom, mounting loops and a 12 V socket. Not a bad set for an inexpensive model

Especially when you compare the XRAY with its direct competitor, the Renault Sandero Stepway, on the basis of which the crossover from AvtoVAZ was built. Despite the fact that the width and length of the French car are slightly larger, X-Ray is 48 mm taller than Sandero.

Based on the average dimensions of the XRAY, we can conclude that the dimensions of the car trunk are the most optimal: there’s simply no point in doing more. In any case, for those who have too little space, the car can always be equipped with a roof rack, of which there are a large number on the market.

Pros and cons of the trunk

The trunk volume of the X-Ray is really small, but if you fold the rear seats, the displacement increases several times, which allows you to transport long cargo, such as skis or construction boards.

Volume is volume, but what about comfort inside the luggage compartment? Everything here is quite good: there is nothing superfluous in the trunk, the floor is perfectly flat, and the wheel arches are hidden from the owner’s eyes and do not protrude from the sides. The top shelf can be removed if necessary.

The luggage compartment is lined with high-quality, durable plastic; the compartment is illuminated in the form of a small lamp located on the left wall.

There are also small hooks on the walls so that you can hook the shelf. An interesting feature of the trunk of the Tolyatti crossover is the double floor.

It sounds tempting, but in reality, this is an almost useless and not very convenient function. The only positive aspect of the “double bottom” is the presence of clamps in the upper part. They make it possible to secure cargo with special straps so that it does not “ride” around the trunk.

The back of the rear sofa in XRAY folds at a slight angle, which is not very convenient, because the loading area is uneven. But the rear bumper does not protrude beyond its plane. This makes it easier to load things inside the trunk and reduces the risk of damage to the bumper.

Directly in front of the trunk there is a metal protruding part of the body, a kind of threshold. The fact is that this threshold is simply painted, there are no linings on it, which threatens this part of the trunk with scratches and abrasions.

The engineers overlooked this, because even the Niva had plastic linings in that place. The rear door of the car, leading to the luggage compartment, turned out to be quite weighty, sometimes you need to strain a little to lower it. But thanks to its weight, the door closes easily, even if you release it in the middle of its trajectory.

Results

Concluding the review, I would like to say that the XRAY trunk is fully consistent with the specifics of the segment. Of course, there are a couple of unpleasant details in it that are not so much annoying, but rather simply cause slight bewilderment.

Otherwise, this is a completely optimal solution for such a car. AvtoVAZ engineers did a good job, both on the overall design of the car and on the luggage compartment. After all, there aren't many tall hatchbacks on the market that offer this kind of boot space.

Difference in trunk size with other cars

According to official data, the trunk of the Lada X Ray will be identical in size to the Lada Kalina model; now it has become much larger in capacity, amounting to 376 liters. If we compare it with other car brands, it is 4 liters more for Renault Sandero, but 65 liters less for Kia Rio, and 46 liters less for Hyundai Solaris.

In any case, the spaciousness of the trunk makes it possible to put a spare tire, tools and many other useful things that you may need both on the road and on vacation.

For many, the trunk is considered perhaps the most important parameter. After all, the comfort of travel, the success of going out into nature or simply transporting things largely depends on its spaciousness. It’s not for nothing that buyers of the Lada X-Ray carefully inspect the luggage compartment of the hatchback, assessing its convenience, asking the manager about its volume, etc. d.

How convenient is the trunk of the Lada X-Ray? What are its dimensions? And is it possible to determine its weaknesses from the photo?

What can we say about the trunk of the Lada X-Ray?

Estimation of dimensions and volume

Cross body kit for Lada X Ray / lada xray (cross set of 10 elements)

According to the car's operating manual, the dimensions of the Lada X Ray are:

  • length – 4.165 m;
  • width 1.764 m;
  • height – 1,570 m.

Compared to them, the dimensions of the trunk opening, which also tapers upward, are small and therefore visually conceal the internal volume:

  • opening height - 0.800 m;
  • opening width – 0.990 m.

But by effortlessly opening the lid and looking inside, you can be convinced of the decent spaciousness of the luggage compartment, equipped with lighting on the left and a 12-volt socket. The ease of opening is due to the electric drive of the lock, which is activated when you press a key, protected by a layer of rubber, in the niche for the license plate. By the way, the lifting height of the trunk lid is 1.815 m, which allows most people to safely walk under it when open.

Standard trunk

Compared to the not particularly outstanding dimensions of the body, the volume of the standard trunk of the Lada XRay is impressive - 361.0 liters. Its internal dimensions without using the interior space are:

  • length – 790 mm;
  • width – 900 mm;
  • height to luggage curtain – 400 mm.

At the same time, the trunk floor is without bulges, and the wheel arches of the car do not protrude into the luggage space, which allows you to use the dimensions to the maximum.

To increase functionality, a double floor system is used in the design of the Lada XRay trunk - an additional removable base (false floor) is laid on top of the main covering with eyelets at the corners, to which luggage can be secured using ordinary ropes or elastic braces to prevent movement during the journey.

The function is undoubtedly useful, but under the raised floor there is an unused space 10-12 cm high across the entire floor area, which reduces the overall height of the luggage compartment.

In addition, the proximity of the eyelets to each other creates inconvenience when securing luggage to them.

Under the lower floor covering of the luggage compartment, in a special niche, there is a full-fledged spare tire, which, depending on the vehicle configuration, can be on an R-15 or R-16 rim.

An important characteristic of the body is the loading height of the luggage compartment, which affects the complexity of loading. The Lada X Ray has a considerable length - 730 mm, but there is no rear side in the trunk, and the cargo is immediately placed on a flat floor

Trunk with folded rear seatbacks

The capacity of the luggage compartment can be almost quadrupled if the backs of the rear sofa are folded down in the cabin - its length after such a transformation will be 1700 mm, and its volume will be 1207 liters.

The backs of the rear seats of the Lada XRay do not fold to a horizontal position, but remain at a slight angle, so it will not be possible to obtain a solid floor of one level with such manipulation - for this you need to dismantle the seats, which is not always acceptable on the road, since in this case the seats themselves need to be moved something to put.

This combination of the rear part of the cabin with the luggage compartment is convenient for transporting pieces of luggage with a large total volume, but light weight and not requiring a solid solid base. In addition to transporting cargo, this position of the trunk can be used for overnight stays - two people of average height can sit in it in a position acceptable for relaxation.

Trunk with all seat backs folded down

You should consider two types of this use of the Lada XRay luggage compartment: with the passenger backrest of the front seat folded and with two front backrests folded.

If the car is used to transport large volumes of luggage, then all the seat backs in the cabin are folded down, except for the driver's - this transformation of the X Ray allows you to increase the useful volume of the trunk to 1300 liters.

In the event that you need to settle down for the night, all the backrests of the Lada XRay seats, including the driver’s, are folded: the rear ones - forward, and the front ones (in the extreme forward position of the seats) back. The resulting area and impressive volume of more than 1500 liters allow four people to relax.

Luggage compartment features

The X-Ray trunk is quite functional and has a number of features:

  1. A double floor system has been implemented, which includes an additional movable base with fastenings in the corners. You can tie ropes to them to better secure the load.
  2. The trunk itself is equipped with a socket (12 volts) and standard lighting.
  3. Its cover opens using an electric lock after pressing the button in the rear license plate niche.
  4. The flat floor and wheel arches do not take up cargo space, allowing you to make the most of its volume.
  5. The spare wheel is stored in a niche under the floor covering.
  6. The height of the raised lid is 1815 mm, which allows you to comfortably walk under it.
  7. It is possible to install a convenient plastic organizer under the trunk shelf, designed for compact storage of things.
  8. To make loading easier, you can purchase a special pad for the lower part of the trunk opening, which will protect the car from minor damage and scratches.

The Lada XRAY is an excellent option for an inexpensive crossover; you shouldn’t expect huge luggage compartment capacity from it. At the same time, the volume of the car allows you to store the most basic things in it: a spare tire, a set of tools, and some personal items. With the passenger sofa folded, it is possible to carry long items, such as building materials or skis.

Engine options

Lada xray and vesta: first kilometers on new AvtoVAZ models

The new Lada Xray will have three engine options:

  • The HR4 power unit, borrowed by VAZ from the Renault-Nissan alliance. The engine has a power of 110 hp. and volume 1.6 liters. It is used in conjunction with a five-speed manual transmission, also provided by a partner concern.
  • Power unit with factory index 21129, VAZ’s own design. Engine characteristics: power 106 hp. and volume 1.6 liters. It comes with a manual transmission provided by Lada's foreign partner.
  • The power unit received the index 21179 from the manufacturer (also VAZ). Engine characteristics: power 122 hp. and volume 1.8 liters. Included with this engine is a robot (manual transmission) developed by AvtoVAZ.

Acceleration time to 100 km/h for a Lada XRay with a 106 hp engine. is 11.9 seconds. The version with a 110-horsepower unit can accelerate in 10.3 seconds, and the most powerful engine of its own design, combined with a robotic gearbox, makes it possible to accelerate to 100 km/h in 10.9 seconds.

In the initial configuration, the X Rey hatchback is equipped with its own engine 21129. The JR 5 manual transmission used with it, although it is a French development, is assembled at VAZ. The reason for his refusal to install his own solution was the presence of noise during operation at some stages. The declared maximum speed of the Lada Xray with these technical characteristics is 170 km/h, and the average fuel consumption is 7.5 liters.

The second HR4 engine is borrowed from the Nissan Senta, and the gearbox is the same as in the previous version of the X Rey characteristics. It is worth noting that this unit on the Center has a power of 114 hp, four forces are lost when adapting the engine to a Russian car from VAZ. Here the mixed consumption is 6.9 liters and the maximum speed is 171 km/h.

The latest version of the technical equipment of the hatchback uses an engine and gearbox developed by VAZ. A car with them can accelerate to 183 km/h, fuel consumption in mixed mode is 7.1 liters. There is no data on the differences in technical characteristics of the planned modification of the Lada X Ray Cross.

sizes, service, main nuances when choosing

When purchasing tires or wheels for his car, a potential buyer, as a rule, counts on the help of a seller armed with a solid database. This is completely justified - the use of one or another tire size on a certain model logically follows from the design features of the car.

But for those motorists who are forced to purchase tires without such a database (for example, in the event of a wheel failure on a long trip), the inability to read tire markings can become an obstacle to continuing the trip.

And vice versa, if you clearly understand how changing certain tire sizes can affect the performance of the car, you can choose “rubber” based on personal preferences, and not succumbing to the pressure of the seller - as you know, the latter, due only to their authoritative tone, They may not sell you what you need.

Tires and wheels for Lada XRay, recommended by AvtoVAZ

Tire sizes specified by the manufacturer for XRay:

  • 195/ 65 R15;
  • 205/55 R16.

The Lada XRay in the Prestige configuration is equipped with 17-inch tires and wheels. But the installation of larger wheels entailed a change in the fender liners - on these cars they are installed soft, since when turning the 17-inch tires touched the regular ones.

All cars, with the exception of those in the cheapest configuration, are equipped with alloy wheels - the latter have stamped ones.

In addition to the above, the following tire sizes have maximum compatibility with factory tires:

  1. For 15-inch wheels: 175/70; 185/70; 205/60; 215/60; 225/55.
  2. For 16-inch: 175/65; 225/50.
  3. For 17-inch wheels: 185/55; 195/50; 225/45.

Car enthusiasts who are inclined to improve (so-called “tuning”) their vehicles also install larger wheels, which inevitably entails the installation of lower-profile tires.

How changing certain wheel sizes affects the characteristics of a car, we will consider below. But let's start with the ability to correctly read tire size markings.

Size marking

For clarity, let’s read the inscription on the standard Lada XRay tire, for example: 195/65 R15. It means that the tire has the following dimensions:

  • 195 – tire width in millimeters;
  • 65 – tire profile height as a percentage of its width;
  • 15 – disk size in inches.

The most incomprehensible quantity here is usually the profile height. In fact, calculating it by converting it into understandable units is not difficult: divide 195 by 100 and multiply by 65. The result is 126.75 millimeters.

It should be noted that low-profile “rubber” is considered if its height is less than 50% of the width. When independently choosing the size you require, keep in mind that a deviation of one or another value up to 3 mm will not cause noticeable adverse consequences, and its value is 6 mm and above simply unacceptable.

Profile height

Low-profile tires combined with larger wheels give the car a more attractive (“aggressive”) appearance. In addition, less weight of the wheels will increase the car's handling and stability. But, given the disgusting quality of roads in most regions of Russia, it is impractical to install such tires - when hitting the sharp edge of a pothole in the asphalt, they easily break through. And so much so that even a disk can be damaged.

Tire width

Installing wider tires will increase the car's grip on the road surface, but if the latter is rutting, the car will be more difficult to control. This is especially dangerous in winter, on slippery roads. In addition, cross-country ability and controllability will decrease when driving on loose snow. Wide tires also create more noise when driving and cause increased fuel consumption.

Disc offset

Disc offset is the distance from the landing plane to the outer plane of rotation of the wheel. Here it is generally undesirable to experiment and install disks that have an offset equal to the factory one.

In addition to the fact that installing discs with an increased offset can limit the angle of rotation of the wheel, the load on the wheel bearings will also increase. In addition, when driving on an uneven road, the suspension travel will increase, which will negatively affect its service life.

And, in conclusion, we can say that choosing “tires” for a car is always a search for a compromise between its different indicators and characteristics, and it is important to be able to set priorities – what do you expect from the car and under what conditions will it have to “rack up the mileage”.

Trunk dimensions of Lada x Rey

In order to find out how good the trunk is in the XRAY, you need to understand the overall dimensions of the car. The length, height and width of the machine are: 4,164 mm, 1,570 mm and 1,764 mm, respectively. The volume of the luggage compartment in liters is 376 liters.

At first glance, it seems a little small, but if you fold the rear seats, then its dimensions increase to 1,207 liters. And if, in addition to all this, the front passenger seat is folded out, then the volume becomes about 1,514 liters.

The XRAY trunk is not particularly large. In addition to the low loading height, there are also convenient hooks for bags, a double bottom, mounting loops and a 12 V socket. Not a bad set for an inexpensive model

Especially when you compare the XRAY with its direct competitor, the Renault Sandero Stepway, on the basis of which the crossover from AvtoVAZ was built. Despite the fact that the width and length of the French car are slightly larger, X-Ray is 48 mm taller than Sandero.

Based on the average dimensions of the XRAY, we can conclude that the dimensions of the car trunk are the most optimal: there’s simply no point in doing more. In any case, for those who have too little space, the car can always be equipped with a roof rack, of which there are a large number on the market.

Interior, engine and wheels

The trunk size in the standard seat position is 361 liters. You will be a little more pleased with its maximum volume: 1514 liters. Freight transport can be carried out on this crossover. In this case, you will need to fold all the seats, including the passenger seat, at the will of the driver. If you limit yourself to only the second row of seats, then you will have to be content with 1207 liters.

Considering the focus of the Lada X-Ray Cross towards increasing cross-country ability, the trunk looks quite decent. For most city residents, 361 liters is enough for trips to the store and to work. It’s another matter for rural residents seeking to purchase transport for transporting vegetables - LADA XRAY Cross is a slightly different type of transport.

Wheel size: 215/50 R17 (91, H). Given the wide arches, the wheels on the R17 look consistent with the crossover. Most drivers don't even need to try to accommodate larger wheels, which may seem like overkill. This is the case when your car leaves the factory without flaws in the exterior, where every element has already been thought out.

First impression of the salon

Considering that the Xray doesn't look particularly large from the outside, the interior may seem cramped, but once you take a look inside, you'll realize that's a misconception.

  • Five adults can comfortably sit in the cabin of the new Lada X-Ray and drive without feeling any discomfort or inconvenience during long trips and travels.
  • Inside the Lada X-Ray, a feeling of freedom and spaciousness is created thanks to the proper arrangement of seats. The overall impression is also influenced by the impressive height of the ceiling. Even a very tall driver feels quite comfortable.

Price of Lada XRAY Cross on the secondary market

New cars have already arrived in the showrooms of official dealers at prices ranging from 750 to 970 thousand rubles.

    Trunk for X Rey: characteristics and description

    Since the new car is very different from the usual Lada family of Lada models, its trunk is completely new. The dimensions of the Lada X Rey are as follows:

    • 1.77 m in width;
    • 1.57 m in height;
    • 4.16 m long.

    In this case, the linear dimensions of the trunk x rack are as follows:

    • Width - 0.9 m. This is the minimum size, since at the widest point (at the trunk floor) the width will be approximately 0.99 m;
    • Height – 0.8 m. With the raised floor cover removed, another 10 cm is added to the height. With the luggage compartment closed, the height indicator is limited to 0.4 m;
    • Length – 0.79 m. With the back of the rear sofa folded forward, the length increases to 1.5 m, although this is a geometric characteristic not of the trunk, but of the car as a whole. Unfortunately, the backrest does not recline to form a flat surface, which is so useful for large loading. In order to fully use this feature, you will have to remove the rear seat, otherwise the backrest will not recline 180°.

    Below you can see what the Lada Xray trunk looks like in the photo.

    If we measure the trunk volume of a Lada X-ray in liters, which is important in the case of transporting small or soft cargo, then the capacity indicator stops at 361 liters. By folding the back of the rear sofa, it is possible to increase the cargo capacity of the car to 1207 liters, and with the front seat folded, the trunk volume x rack increases to 1514 liters. As with any car, the Xray's boot size isn't an absolute measure, and you'll always want more if the need arises. However, there are also absolute characteristics, and not to say that they are familiar to the products of the domestic automobile industry. For example: • The split back of the rear sofa allows you to vary the cargo capacity in the case of transporting long cargo: skis, fishing rods, profiles, boards, etc. Simply by folding back a fragment of the rear seat back, the rest of it can be left untouched and used for its intended purpose - for transporting passengers; • Perfectly flat trunk floor. The raised floor (the upper surface of the floor) is equipped with loops through which you can sling the load to prevent it from moving when moving; • Double floor. By lifting the top floor cover, we see another useful space below, which can be loaded, for example, with a permanent cargo (first aid kit, tool box, car accessories), or delicate cargo that requires a separate cargo space; • Hidden wheel fenders that do not take away useful space and do not form awkward angles; You can verify all this by simply typing the request “Lada X Ray trunk photo”.

    Lada Xray trunk: a lot or a little?

    So, we don’t know whether the trunk volume of 361 liters can be considered sufficient, large or small for the Lada xray. This number is not the limit for cars, so comparisons will have to be made with other vehicles of the same class. For example, the X Ray trunk volume is only 9 liters less than the Hyundai Solaris and 28 liters less than the KIA Rio. At the same time, it has significantly greater capacity than the trunks of the Renault Sandero and Ford Fiesta. In this regard, for the Lada Xray, a trunk of such capacity looks quite acceptable and even a good solution, and in terms of this functionality alone the car can compete with foreign analogues. Perhaps the above comparison is not entirely correct, but such high hatchbacks in this price range, available to domestic consumers, are a rare occurrence, and it remains to be compared with the foreign cars most familiar to our average person.


    In general, modern passenger cars are equipped with trunks with a volume of 300 to 500 liters, if you do not take into account purely sports models or semi-trucks with a universal body, which are rarely sold and are produced in limited quantities. Therefore, we can conclude that for a Lada Xray car the trunk volume is 361 liters. can be considered average for all passenger cars, regardless of class. A significant increase in the size of the X-ray trunk can lead to either an increase in the dimensions of the car or a decrease in the usable space of the cabin, which will be primarily felt by passengers.

    What if it’s still not enough?

    Despite all that has been said, such a trunk may not seem roomy enough to some, especially since there are situations when it is necessary to make maximum use of the carrying capacity, while the task of transporting passengers is not relevant. For such cases, it is worth removing the rear seat, fortunately this is quite simple to do. You can also solve the problem by buying a beautiful and aerodynamic car box, which will be an excellent aesthetic addition to the appearance of the car. If this option is not suitable, you can get light roof rails or a universal roof rack. In other cases, you will have to understand that the car has a limited load capacity, and sometimes it is better to pull too much cargo than to carry it on yourself. For these purposes, a trailer is purchased or rented.

    In addition, there are items that will not fit in the trunk of even the largest passenger car, although they can still be transported: for example, a surfboard or a boat. In general, it is useless to choose the most suitable configuration among all Lada X Rey models based on trunk volume in liters, because they all have the same capacity. And if everyone else likes the car, then it’s better to try to increase its cargo characteristics using one of the indicated methods.

    Model history and time of entry into the market of the new Lada XRay Cross

    Lada XRAY Cross is a subcompact all-terrain vehicle that has a number of advantages of a stylish city hatchback. The target audience is residents of large cities who need tall cars to travel both around the city and on country roads.

    On the eve of National Unity Day, sales of the new, improved X Ray Cross car will begin in dealership showrooms. The new product is entering the Russian market under the slogan “Lada. New Horizons”, which initially informs the buyer about the off-road characteristics of the car. Since the beginning of production, the X Rey belonged to an indeterminate class: a high hatchback or a crossover.

    Body size

    The overall dimensions of the Lada X-Ray Cross can be confidently called worthy. Here, if desired, not only children, but also adults can sit comfortably in the back. It is worth paying tribute to AvtoVAZ, which still manages to stay afloat by producing competitive products.

    Main parameters of the LADA XRAY Cross body:

    • number of doors: 5 pieces;
    • length: 4171 mm;
    • width including mirrors: 1983 mm;
    • height with antenna: 1645 mm;
    • classic base: 2592 mm.

    Width without mirrors 1810 mm. Although it is more correct to take them into account, because often the width indicator is important when maneuvering between other cars. The size of the cabin plays a secondary role, which is critical only for family drivers. Singles do not need to share the salon with a large number of people.

    The height has increased by +75 mm compared to the regular XRAY. An impressive figure, taking into account the fact that the price remains affordable for the majority of Russians. In general, everywhere, compared to a regular crossover, there are increases in the body: width +46 mm and length +6 mm.

    The dimensions and dimensions of the Lada X-Ray Cross compete with most similar crossovers. Regarding potassium, the front of the car is 1503 mm, the rear is 1546 mm. It’s immediately impossible not to appreciate the outstanding ground clearance – 215 mm. A crossover with such ground clearance will easily give a head start to many:

    • Renault Duster: 210 mm;
    • Lada 4×4: 205 mm;
    • Nissan X-trail: 210 mm.

    It is the ground clearance on the LADA XRAY Cross that puts an end to the decision to purchase a car. The “Cross” prefix is ​​justified by its ground clearance of 215 mm.

    All motorists who bought a crossover note the practicality of this indicator. For those who live outside the city or who like fishing, they should first of all consider a domestic car for purchase.

    Spring suspensions are responsible for ground clearance: independent at the front and semi-independent at the rear. Shock absorbers ensure that the vehicle maintains the highest possible ground clearance for as long as possible.

    Features of Lada X-Ray Cross

    In August 2016, at the International Moscow Auto Exhibition, AvtoVAZ prepared several unexpected presentations, presenting 6 concepts of future production models. Among them was a pseudo-off-road version of the X-Ray with the Cross Concept prefix. It differed from the basic one in its impressive body kit, increased ground clearance and a number of other features.

    In appearance, the Cross version is easily recognizable by its plastic body kit, wheel arch extensions, roof rails and oversized R17 rims. As in the case of previous models with the Cross prefix (Vesta, Kalina), the improvements are minor, but they make the exterior more recognizable. No other features have been identified, but one thing is clear - in terms of overall dimensions, the Cross version will be wider and slightly taller due to the increased ground clearance. It is stated that the ground clearance will definitely be more than 200 mm.

    According to some experts, the new X-Ray will be equipped with a 1.8-liter VAZ 21179 in-line four with a distributed fuel injection system and a power of 122 hp. With. with a maximum of 6000 rpm. It will be complemented by either a five-speed manual transmission or an automatic transmission. It is planned to use all-wheel drive, but it is not yet clear how it will be implemented on the Lada Vesta sedan platform.

    It became clear immediately that the B0 platform would be the basis. At the front there is an independent suspension with a MacPherson strut configuration, at the rear there is a semi-independent beam. Electric power steering will be used to complement the rack and pinion steering mechanism. The braking system will remain the same - ventilated disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. To provide increased ground clearance, different suspension settings and different shock absorbers with extended springs will be used. At this stage, the car has already been put into mass production and will go on sale at dealerships by the end of 2022.

    Lada X-Ray can rightfully be considered a new generation hatchback; previously there were no such options. It is quite possible that in the near future the manufacturer will create a similar crossover, but with all-wheel drive. And if you add to this a diesel power plant with a full-fledged automatic transmission, then this option is doomed to success in our country and abroad.
