Trunk Lada Kalina The new generation will not please the large volume. However, this applies to the hatchback, if you want a large luggage space, then buy a wagon in the body. This car is much more spacious.
Lada Kalina Hatchback trunk It has a volume of only 240 liters, it should be borne in mind that this volume is considered to the shelf. But our resourceful motorists sometimes remove it and ship directly to the ceiling. With the rear seats, the trunk of Lada Kalina Hatchback is already 550 liters. For comparison, the trunk grants has a volume of 520 liters.
Lada Kalina Ladge Wagon It is much more compatible and has a volume of 355 liters, although some sources argue that the volume is at least 361 liters. It must be borne in mind that it is only to the shelf, and you can load to the ceiling, the body design allows. In any case, the volume of the luggage compartment at the wagon of the second-generation vote increased, if compared with the same indicator LADA Kalina wagon of the previous generation. With folded seats, the volume increases to 670 liters. In the photo, just above you can see how the rear seats from the Lada Wagist Kalina 2 are folded.
Clearance or Road clearance of Lada Kalina Separate and very interesting topic. It is visually seen that the Lada Kalina road clearance is more than most foreign cars. However, according to official data, the road clearance in Kalina Hatchback with automatic transmission is 145 mm, and with a manual box 165 mm. But if the manufacturers of foreign cars indicate the road clearance of their machines with minimal load, then AvtoVAZ indicates clearance in the maximum loaded state of the car. That is, if Lada Kalina is empty, without passengers and cargo, it will be about 20 centimeters. You can take a ruler and make sure yourself.
Concerning Lada Kalina Universal There is the same situation. In the loaded state, the machine has real road clearance 145 mm, but in fact, when the driver and the passenger road lumen is much more in the cabin. Do not forget that if you install rubber and wheels of a certain size, then the clearance changes. Officially, the manufacturer allows installation to be installed on Kalina wheels, both 14 and 15 inches.
Lada Sizes Kalina Universal and Hatchback Different. So the length of Kalina hatchback is 3,893 mm, the station wagon is 4,084 mm. Wheel base, the distance between the rear and the front axle is equally 2,476 mm. That is, in the cabin cars are identical in size. Car width is 1 700 mm. The height of the hatchback Kalina is 1 500 mm, the station wagon is a few millimeters more due to the rails that are now installed on all modifications without exception as standard equipment.
Instead of the first version of Lada Kalina In 2013, car enthusiasts from Russia and neighboring countries received a new version of the car with the front-wheel drive - Lada Kalina 2. Due to the popularity of the car, his name was decided not to change. The design and technical characteristics of the model were seriously modified and changed, which was reflected in the front-wheel drive only for the better, it became more modern, but at the same time, it remained easily recognizable among fans.
Lada Kalina 2 - Benefits Compared to the previous version
The new version of Kalina received an excellent modern filling, which is especially noticeable in the full and most expensive luxury configuration. Taking into account the fact that the cost of the model remained at the affordable level in the level and is in the range between the prices of priors and grants, such a modern equipment made a model competitive in the modern automotive market.
By comparing the photos and characteristics of the first and second versions of Lada Kalina, it becomes clear that while retaining the benefits of the previous model, the "narrow" places have significantly worked in the new version and made a lot of useful elements and additions.
Among the advantages of the new version, you can note such as:
- Good clearance;
- Expansion of the cabin;
- Additional security tools for the driver and passengers;
- Enhance comfort;
- Significant reduction in noise in the cabin and others.
Exterior of Lada Kalina 2
Unlike the first version of Lada Kalina, it is now produced in two types of body: a hatchback and a wagon, version of the sedan disappeared from the line, now AvtoVAZ offers to purchase a class sedan in the form of the Lada Grant. As can be seen in the photo, the color gamut expanded, blue, red and orange colors with a metal glitter were added. The color of bumpers under body has become available already in the minimum assembly.
The shape of the roof of the hatchback remained in the same form, but the universal has changed thoroughly and received in addition rails. The optics of the modified Lada Kalina received the built-in daily course lights already in the minimum version. Pretty large air intake on the front bumper is quite appropriate, if you consider the most powerful power unit, available for configuration to the new Lada Kalina of the second generation. The location of the rear headlights remained almost the same as in the first version of the model.
The body of new viburnum became tougher, the windshield absorption zone appeared, which increased passenger safety indicators. Also, the housing gained galvanized in almost 40% of the surface, the overall dimensions of the model and the clearance, which became comparable to the road clearance in some crossovers.
Interior of Lada Kalina 2
Available list of options for the new version of the model is significantly wider than the predecessor. With the initial assembly for the driver, a airbag is available and reminding the seat belt alarm. Also in the minimum configuration, windows with an electric drive on the front doors are available. Only hard plastic is used in the interior decoration, mild plastic can only be found on the steering wheel and the climate control control buttons are rubberized. In the glove box, you can find the port for connecting USB devices.
In the luxury configuration, you can find a seven-wing touch screen, air conditioning and a full electric car, an airbag for the front passenger appears.
Although the multimedia screen resolution is small, but the sensor works well and responds to commands immediately, the GLONASS navigation system is built into the multimedia. In an expensive assembly, the front seats and windshield are equipped with an electric heating, the rear armchairs can be added separately, which cannot be made in the basic configuration, in which the rear sofa can only be folded all.
The volume of the trunk of the new version of the vibrant is 260 liters, it increased compared with the previous sedan for 10 liters, and in the body the wagon of the luggage compartment accommodates 360 liters without folding the rear sofa. You can open the trunk, in the middle and expensive configuration for this, just press the button in the cabin or keychain with keys. In any of the configuration in the luggage compartment there is a spare place.
As a lack of any of the viburnum modifications, it is possible to note the fact that the glass is not lowered to the end in the door, the rear at all stop, passing a little more than half.
Technical characteristics of Lada Kalina 2
The overall dimensions of the new Lada Kalina are as follows:
- Length - 4084 mm Universal and 3893 mm sedan;
- Width - 1700 mm for both bodies;
- Height - 1504 mm Universal and 1500 sedan;
- Road clearance - 170 mm (with full load - 145 mm).
For installation on a new Lada Kalina, three power plants are available, the working volume of each of which is 1.6 liters.
The weakest of the engines has proven itself when installing a grant on Lada, this eight-flaped motor provides an 87 liter power. from. And it is completed with a lightweight version of pistons and federal mogul brand rods. The capacity of this unit is enough to move along the city streets and prospectuses.
The average of the power plants with a capacity of 98 liters. from. Already known to motorists in Lada Priory.
The strongest engine is the new 16-valve also with a volume of 1.6 liters. It provides a power of 106 liters. from.
For the configuration, both the automatic transmission of the Japanese manufacturer Jatco and VAZ mechanics with a cable drive are available. Due to this, in the domestic mechanics, the gear shift occurs quite clearly, and there is no vibration on the switching lever. This box can be bolder to name one of the best in the domestic automotive industry. Automobile automatic transmission is available for configuration with 87 and 98 liters. C., MCPP is installed with engines by 87 and 106 liters. from.
In the new version of the Lada Kalina on the back of the beam, an enlarged caster is installed with a minus collapse / wheel wearing. A shortened rail is applied in the steering, the use of which increases the obedience of the car on the road. Thanks to the improvement or replacement of shock absorbers, stabilizers, silent blocks and springs, vibration in the new version of the Lada Kalina decreased, the car became more resistant when driving, the roll decreased, the obedience was reduced and the smoothness of the movement.
The ABS function with a braking amplifier in emergency cases is included in the equipment, which can increase the safety of passengers in collisions, as well as the ESC function (resistance stabilizer when driving) to determine the angular and total speed, pressure in the brake system. In extreme cases and when driving one of the axes, this system helps the driver to cope with the drift by driving each of the wheels separately.
Compared with the previous version, the work of ventilation and heating systems has significantly improved. With the help of joint operation of temperature and solar sensors, changes in changes in the surrounding car medium to maintain a stable temperature regime in the cabin.
Restyling Lada Kalina in 2016
In 2016, Lada Kalina experienced a small restyling and, one might say, a new body, as not only hinged elements have changed, but also a motor shield has been strengthened.
Lada Kalina Cross
In the new body off-road version of Lada Kalina 2 has some differences. So, this modification is not available with an automatic switching box of the speeds of any of the engines.
Lada Kalina Cross is not available in the basic configuration standard, it appears on sale with a minimum set rate cost 512.1 thousand rubles.
Completion of the crossover The norm corresponds to the configuration of the hatchback with the set of options. Comfort. It turns out that with the same versions, the cost of cross and hatchback differs by only 22-24 thousand rubles, but taking into account the fact that the crossover has a more capacious luggage compartment and increased to 183 mm clearance, it is not quite expensive.
Lada Kalina Universal
If you need a bulk body without increased clearance, so as not to overpay for the off-road version, you can buy Lada Kalina in the body of a wagon.
The cost of the family car in the element configuration is 447.5 thousand rubles. At the same time, the difference with hatchback in the same configuration is only 12 thousand rubles.
The same difference is preserved in more expensive equipment.
With prices for the crossover and the wagon, the same situation, only now the wagon will cost 9-12 thousand rubles cheaper, while retaining the same volume of the luggage compartment and having received the spectacular rails on the roof, which are even in the cheapest complete set.
Lada Kalina Sport
This version stands slightly away from the rest and is distinguished by other seats and suspension, which reduces the road lumen to 150 mm.
As can be seen in the photo, sports notes appear in the design of the exterior. The difference in cost with the hatchback is almost 44 thousand rubles in the element configuration, since the price of Lada Kalina Sport starts from 551 thousand rubles.

Lada Lada Kalina clearance depends on the modification of the vehicle. The indicator under consideration is the distance from the asphalt or other surface to the lower point of the car body. It has a direct impact on the passability of the car off-road and the track.
Technical moments
The domestic manufacturer, in contrast to foreign, indicates the value with the full load. The level of clearance of Kalina Lada and Renault Duster are almost the same. Without load, the road clearance of the 2nd car fluctuates in the range of 20.5-21 cm, and the model under consideration is less than the specified value.
When conducting measuring work, technical specifications and design features of the machine (mm) are taken into account:
- under Carter MCP or automatic transmission - 195-210;
- under the threshold of the front tires - 230;
- under the power unit - 210.
Road clearance of Lada Kalina 2 Universal coincides with the body of the hatchback and equals (mm):
- at maximum load under the motor crankcase - more than 160;
- with a complete workload under KP - more than 145-160.
The parameters of these models are different. The length of the hatchback is 3.893 m, and the station wagon is 4.084 m. The distance between the front and rear axis is 2.476 m. The height of the first model is 1.5 m. Lada Cleigh Kalina 2 wagon is greater, as there are rails.
Vehicle weight of any configuration ranges from 1524-1605 kg. In the CROSS technical passport manufacturer specifies the value of the road lumen without load (21 cm). The car is executed in the monotrifer.
If you install a 15-inch cross disks on Kalina, then the distance will increase to 16 (including rear and front tracks). The level of the indicator in Kalina Cross in the all-wheel drive variant with the load is 188 mm. If you cut the steering rack's move, then the rotation radius of the vehicle will reach 5.5 m. If the model is equipped with automatic transmission, then the level of the road lumen under the crankcase (mm) is 195, and under the front tire threshold - 230.
Lada Kalina Sport 2nd generation is equipped with a powerful motor, upgraded by chassis and modern steering. The vehicle is equipped with 16 inches discs. The installation angle of the rear and front tires is increased by 2.5 °.
Basic Modernization
Acute steering is provided by changing the gears that transmit torque from the steering wheel to the wheels. The new sport is equipped with a gasoline engine with 16 valves. Due to the finalized shaft, the manufacturer increased the power and torque of the power unit (156 nm).
The road clearance of the car of this configuration is 125 mm. According to official data, the clearance of the vehicle under consideration with the manual transmission is greater than with automatic transmission. The indicator can be measured independently. To do this, use a ruler or roulette. If the car is not loaded, then the distance will be more. Officially, AvtoVAZ indicates clearance with maximum load, and foreign manufacturers - with minimal workload. On average, the difference between values \u200b\u200branges from 20-26 cm (regardless of modification).
Lady Lada Kalina 2 Universal has a real indicator - 14.5 cm. Specifications (including the distance from the body to asphalt) depend on the following criteria:
- number of passengers;
- wheel size;
- type Tire
The manufacturer allows the installation of the wheels by 14 and 15 inches.
To increase the value of Kalina's clearance, engineers used gas-filled shock absorbers and spring supports. Distance can be increased independently at the expense of tuning springs.
Trunk Lada Kalina The new generation will not please the large volume. However, this applies to the hatchback, if you want a large luggage space, then buy a wagon in the body. This car is much more spacious.
Lada Kalina Hatchback trunk It has a volume of only 240 liters, it should be borne in mind that this volume is considered to the shelf. But our resourceful motorists sometimes remove it and ship directly to the ceiling. With the rear seats, the trunk of Lada Kalina Hatchback is already 550 liters. For comparison, the trunk grants has a volume of 520 liters.
Lada Kalina Ladge Wagon It is much more compatible and has a volume of 355 liters, although some sources argue that the volume is at least 361 liters. It must be borne in mind that it is only to the shelf, and you can load to the ceiling, the body design allows. In any case, the volume of the luggage compartment at the wagon of the second-generation vote increased, if compared with the same indicator LADA Kalina wagon of the previous generation. With folded seats, the volume increases to 670 liters. In the photo, just above you can see how the rear seats from the Lada Wagist Kalina 2 are folded.

Concerning Lada Kalina Universal There is the same situation. In the loaded state, the machine has real road clearance 145 mm. But on the fact that in the cabin only the driver and the passenger road clearance is much more. Do not forget that if you install rubber and wheels of a certain size, then the clearance changes.

Lada Kalina 2 Review
The new Lada Kalina, which has already been fixed quite logical nickname - Lada Kalina 2, is one of the most anticipated automotive innovations in the CIS markets. Advertising Slogan Company Promotion of Novelty # 8212 "Full Minced", it seems that these words manufacturer hints at the rich equipment of the expensive version - suite. Serial Lada Kalina 2 was shown on May 16 years. Like Lada Granta. New Lada Kalina can be equipped with an automatic transmission. In the year, the vasents plan to sell 70,000 new Lada Kalina, and the share of cars with automatic transmissions on the assumptions of the vazovtsev will be 15-20% of the total number of Calin sold. In this review, we will consider Lada Calina Sample of the Year, which replaced the first generation of Lada Kalina. The main competitors of Lada Kalina can be attributed to the new Renault Logan. Renault Sundero. Hyundai Solaris, Kia Rio. Citroen C-Elisee. Volkswagen Polo Sedan and other class representatives # 8212 "B".
Body and appearance:
If the first generation of Kalin was sold in three types of body: sedan, hatchback and station wagon, then the second generation is available in body bodies: five-door hatchback and wagon. Sales of Sedanov "B" - Class for VAZ provides Lada Granta. 
The novelty received new colors for the body, this is: "diplomat" # 8212 blue metallic, "Venus" # 8212 Red metallic, "Magma" # 8212 bright orange metallic. It is an orange car more often than the rest appeared on the pictures taken before the presentation of the serial machine. 
Note that in the basic equipment of the bumper, the novelties are painted in the body color. The first-generation Valina borrowed at the predecessor of the door, and the old roof got the hatchback, but the wagon was new, and the roof of the wagon is equipped with reling. In the new headlights of even the car in the basic configuration, lights of the running light are mounted. The air intake in the front bumper is quite large, but it is quite appropriate on modifications with a new one, the most powerful engine intended for the model. 
The rear optics is located as on the previous generation - on the racks of the roof, but the lantern itself is stronger than "nailed" on the wing. The hood cover and the front wings are borrowed from Lada Granta. The difference between Lada Kalina 2 from its predecessor you can notice in the photo. From above photo of first generation. In the front of the machine there is a stroke energy absorption zone, because of it had to be shifted forward to a 37mm cooling radiator. Vazovtsy have already conducted their own safety tests, according to the plant representatives, on the trials of Lada Kalina according to the EURONCAP method, the car should show solid three stars. Body Lada Kalina 2 is galvanized by 38% area. The wheel base in comparison with the first generation increased by 6mm, the hatchback became longer than 43mm, and the sedan is 44mm. The rigidity of the body of the heather has increased slightly - 11,000 degrees. For the manufacture of new body panels, the vasers purchased the press forms of Japanese production. In general, when creating this model, imported components are widely used, we will still pay attention to the review of Lada Kalina. The angle of convergence of wheels on the new machine increased C.1 to 0.2. Lada Kalina in the body of the hatchback is indicated as a model 2192, wagon - 2194. With an external Lada review it is not difficult to note that the road clearance is comparable to some crossovers, from the front bumper to the roadway almost 20cm - this greatly facilitates parking near high fences.
Salon and equipment:
Equipment of the new Lada Kalina is richer than the equipment of the first Kalina. In the basic configuration, the standard already includes one airbag, the indicator resembles the driver about what the front electric windows should be included in the standard equipment. 
Steering wheel Kalina 2 is made of soft plastic, and climate adjustment washers have rubberized rim, but the rest of the plastic used in the upholstery is hard. But it is worth remembering that the same Volkswagen Polo Sedan plastic in the insane salon is also hard. In the glove compartment before the front passenger is provided with a USB slot. Dear complete set - a suite can "pamper" with a sensory display with a diagonal of seven inches, air conditioning, a full electric car and two airbags. The maximum resolution of the sensory display Kalina is 320 * 240, the resolution is not too high, but the display itself responds to the commands without delay and thoughtfulness. 
The multimedia system includes the GLONAS navigation system. Some disadvantage of all Lada Kalina is that the rear window can be lowered only slightly below the middle of the height of the window opening and even the front windows are not completely lowered into the door. Lada Kalina Suite is equipped with heated front armchairs and windshield, which prevents fogging glass, even with a faulty or disconnected heating system. In the basic equipment, the rear seat is solid, and in an expensive configuration, the rear sofa can be folded separately. In the basic equipment # 8212 standard there are no head restraints in the rear sofa. The baggage compartment of the new Kalina in the body of the sedan increased by 10 liters, now the trunk accommodates 260 liters, the trunk of the wagon in normal condition accommodates 361 liters. Trunk Cap Kalina Standard Opened only by the key, on the "Norm" and "Suite" modifications, a trunk can be opened by pressing the keychain button, or on the button in the cabin. In independence from the configuration and equipment, in the trunk of Lada Kalina, a full-size spare wheel is placed.
Technical part and characteristics of LADA KALINA 2
For Lada Kalina 2, three engines are offered. All motors have the same volume - 1.6 liters. The least powerful cylinder block with an eight-glipal head produces 87 horsepower, which is 6l.s more than that of the basic Kalina previous generation. This engine is equipped with lightweight connecting rods and pistons of the Federal Mogul manufacturer. This unit has already proven himself from the best side to Lada Grant. 140n. The torque is quite enough to move along the city streets and prospectuses. The eight-glove engine has the smallest compression ratio, of all the motors offered for Kalina - 10.3: 1, which makes this unit the most omnivore. The next engine gives 98 horsepower - this is the same motor that is installed on Lada Priora. With a power engine in 98l.s, Kalina easily will access Audi 100 C3 and many other foreign-made matters. The degree of engine compression by 98l.s - 11: 1, and torque - 145n.m. The most powerful motor offered for Kalina is a new 1.6 capacity of 106 horsepower. Torque - 148n.m. Compressive degree - 11: 1. As can be seen from the numbers, the torque indicators vary not significantly, but if the eight-flaped motor confidently pulls from the bottom, then 16V wakes up after 2,500 - 2,800 revolutions.
Prioror motor can be shrinkable with automatic jatco AY-K3 gearbox. The Japanese themselves consider the option to establish the production of automatic boxes in Russia, because only a year is planned delivery of 100,000 boxes. An outdated 1989 sample machine has an overwhelming drive that turns off the top transmission and allows the motor to completely unscrew the third speed - this can be very useful on the protracted rise, especially when the machine is loaded. The automatic boxes are poured oil production of the company Jatco, which is designed for mileage in 50 000km. The mechanical gearbox received a cable drive, now the transmissions are included clearly, and there are no vibrations on the lever, it is safe to say that this mechanic is the best vaza box for today.
In the configuration, the Valina value is equipped with an ABS and even a pressure-enhancement system in brakes in case of emergency pressing on the brake pedal, and in the top equipment, Kalina is also equipped with an electronic course stabilization system. By the way, this system is not available even as an option for Mitsubishi Lancer. The course stabilization system itself is produced by Bosch, as well as the generator. The fact is that according to the reviews of the owners and the serviceman, the bearings are not rarely burying in the previous Kalina generator. Bosch generators are collected in India and are even cheaper than Russian.
Steering Lada Kalina 2 is already in the database equipped with an electric amplifier. The steering wheel was sharper, from the stop until the steering wheel of Kalina makes 3.1 turns, and not 4 as before.
The chassis was recycled, transverse stability stabilizers were thicker than 24mm, and the shock absorbers in comparison with Granta are configured to comfortably ride. According to the reviews of journalists, the second-generation Valina has become more understandable in turns and more resistant on high-speed straight than its predecessor. Road clearance of Lada Kalina with an automatic transmission less than 10 - 20mm.
We will pay attention to the technical characteristics of Lada Kalina 2 with a basic, eight-boiled motor in the body of the hatchback.
Engine: 1.6 gasoline
Cost
Lada Kalina 2 # 8212 Family Car
Lada Kalina 2 Universal # 8212 In my opinion, perhaps the first domestic car of the Russian car industry really interested by car owners as a family car. Moreover, interested not only worth, but also by the appearance, move characteristics.
Why we consider Lada Kalina 2 wagon as a family car if the VAZ was so famous for his unreliability. I agree, if you compare New Lada Kalina 2 with a new foreign car universal of a respected company, then Lada Kalina will lose a comparison, but not everyone has funds to buy a normal new foreign car.
Lada Kalina 2 This is not ordinary Zhiguli, who are all accustomed to survey, the director changed at AvtoVAZ, now it is headed by a foreigner, painting technology was modernized, the quality of production was improved, the design was improved. Take a look at the photo, does it look like domestic # 171 chisel # 187? As a family car Lada Kalina 2, many choose for obvious reasons: there is a desire to buy a new car with a beautiful design, good permeability for bad roads, while the budget is limited to a new car with the same characteristics of money simply not. At the same time, Lada Kalina 2 is presented in the body of a wagon, which allows loading large things. I do not advertise this car at all, I want to help want to find my family car in a choices, for this she tried to collect all the well-known advantages and disadvantages into a single table.
Lada Kalina 2 Advantages:
1. Low cost # 8212 makes it possible to buy a new car and be proud of it.
2. Accessibility of spare parts.
3. Beautiful design.
4. Good running characteristics # 8212 good engine efficiency 5.5 liters on the highway and about 8.5 in the city, the passport details coincide with the indicator of most owners. High maximum speed sufficient for the overwhelming majority of roads.
5. High clearance and reliable suspension turned Lada Kalina 2 in a light SUV, able to make ways to harden for ordinary cars, but this is still uniquely not a jeep.
6. Comfortable ride on the roads with a ground coating.
7. Excellent review.
8. Excellent brakes, but in case of poor-quality items, a whistle pads may appear, uneven wear. Actually, Kalina has nothing to do with what blocks, so it will slow down.
9. The ability to put a high-quality Japanese machine, glorified by its legendary reliability and at the same time very successfully scored with the engine.
10. Great stove, quick warm-up, good air conditioning, the work of the climate system in automatic mode (not to be confused with a full machine, simply supports the air temperature without driving dampers).
11. Electric air damper.
12. Very rich equipment for little money.
13. The driver's seat is equipped with adjustable lumbar focus.
Lada Kalina 2 Disadvantages:
1. The quality of the assembly # 8212 is frankly lame, or in the same model in the car dealership, I could normally close all the doors, constant complaints about unfinished bolts, screens, etc. Compared to the past models, a step forward is made, the quality has risen, but has not yet reached an acceptable level.
2. The noise of the salon # 8212 is mainly complaints about the screens of panels, rubber, howling mechanical gearbox, insufficient noise insulation, but in general it is all subjective. Most of the noise can be easily eliminated by finding a loan element, while it is necessary to take into account the quality of the road, personally I often go through smooth roads, so for me these parameters are not critical, on a smooth road almost any machine behaves quietly.
3. Still a very high resource of some nodes, for example, a replacement is often found in the warranty period of various electronics, generators, starters. I will not argue, I like Kalina 2, I do not want to scold it, but I will bring it an example: in Kalina 2 I often meet the replacement of the generator for 35,000 km run # 8230 I had Renault Kanga, bought with twisted mileage (judging by the state of the car) , on the speedometer there were 100,000 mileage, I drove another 100,000 # 8230 in the sum at least 200,000 miles of mileage and I didn't even look at how the generator is doing there, just replaced the belt a couple of times, and the belt changed only after 100,000, I expected to see the rags, and Nifiga, only Microcracks on the inside of rubber. I don't want anything to prove anyone, I just compared the facts for myself. I would like to praise Kalina 2, but in this sense it does not work. They say with the replacement of generators to new ones in the viburnum they stopped breaking so much.
4. Cheap components, it's just not surprising, a person takes an inexpensive car and offended to a solid cream plastic should not.
5. For a family wagon, a small trunk volume, there is nowhere to fold the first-aid kit, a fire extinguisher, a small set of tools.
6. The front seats are not intended for the night to throw them away, you need to rotate the handle for a long time and as a result we get a step under the back.
7. The lack of an indicator of the cooling fluid temperature sensor, prevents the driver to understand whether the engine warms up in winter, can dramatically reduce the resource of the power unit. Fixed installing an additional onboard computer instead of the plug button.
8. In places of fastening the mudguards, the LCP is erased to metal and rust begins.
9. Sometimes there are complaints about the bad informativeness of the steering wheel, i.e. The driver does not understand what positions are the wheels and the wheels are inadequately react to driving control.
10. The lack of indication of the transmission included on the box itself, there is no protection from the fool against turning the rear on the full move. Personally, it confuses me, but people do not seem to complain.
11. The driver's seat is not regulated in height, people with increasing 150cm are difficult to reach the pedalla, even with the maximum adjacent the seat. This is my personal observation, many such a seat is quite suitable.
Lada Kalina Cross
On the basis of Lada Kalina 2 Universal created modification Lada Kalina Cross . Departing all the information available to me I found the following differences. Increased clearance of approximately 2 cm, 15 inches alloy wheels like a luxury configuration, a more rigid suspension and a reduced passion. Due to the change in the wheel diameter, the transfer number of the main transmission was changed, while the running characteristics of viburnum were preserved 2. Added beautiful body kit over the perimeter of the car from unpacked plastic, which, together with increased clearance, gives the car off-road view. However, the statistics lacks, according to some data, the increase in clearance led to a decrease in the scruses, which now work at the limit of their capabilities, according to the representative of the vase itself, an increase in clearance for another 5mm would lead to unacceptable risks to operate this vehicle. The configuration already available versions with 106 strong engine, the box remained mechanically, the lux is not provided. Personally, I lack in the version of Kalina Cross Fog Headlights, I often go to Poland in Belarus and almost always at night, the fogs in crude weather are simply impenetrable. I also lack heating windshield. My spouse is sad due to the lack of electronic adjustment of the mirrors and adjust the seat height, we control the car in turn and we have to rebuild the mirrors and the seats are quite often. But on Lada Kalina Cross installed improved side support seats and additional plastic arches of wheels protecting the body from fine gravel. SUVs have not changed strongly, the car has shown itself precisely as written, the wagon of increased passability, the living suspension and high clearance, this is not a jeep, but better than the usual car, perhaps the perfect compromise for a family car for all occasions. And also, according to official data, in Lada Kalina, the cross increased slightly fuel consumption, approximately 0.2 liters in all modes. The car has received reinforced transverse stability stabilizers and complete reconfiguration of the suspension due to the increase in clearance. By configuration, it is inferior to Kalina 2 universal in the suite, however, the design makes its business, more and more buyers prefer this particular model. A larger diameter of the wheels led to the need to limit the course of the steering rack and accordingly increased the diameter of the reversal by half a meter. Initially, ran into the idea of \u200b\u200bbuying exactly the modification of the cross, but having studied all the minuses begin not so riddling to look at this option. After all, the clearance of ordinary Lada Kalina 2 wagon, too, you can't call a little, almost for the same money we get a luxury package, reduced fuel consumption, an increased resource of shrusers, though weaker suspension, slightly lower clearance and easier design # 8230 such a hard choice.

Road clearance is the distance from the bottom point in the center of the car body to the ground. However, the manufacturer of Lada Kalina Merit clearance, as it is convenient. This means that the distance from the shock absorbers, the engine of the engine or the muffler to the asphalt may be less than the declared road clearance.
Interesting moment: car buyers, special attention is paid to clearance, because in our country there is a good ground clearance - the need, he will save from headaches when parking to borders.
The height of the road lumen from Lada Kalina ranges from 145 to 160 mm. But be attentive, leaving for rest or returning with purchases: The loader will lose 2-3 centimeters of the road lumen easily.
If you wish, the clearance of any car can be increasing with the help of spacers under the shock absorbers. The car will be higher. However, it will lose their former sustainability at high speeds and will greatly lose in maneuverability. Clearance can be reduced, for this, it is usually enough to replace regular shock absorbers on tuning: manageability and stability you will immediately delight.
If the future owner implies to exploit his car in the absence of roads with perfect coating, then it should take into account such a significant indicator as a ground clearance. This situation is also valid for the domestic small polybuga of Lada Kalina in the body of the hatchback and the universal, the magnitude of the clearance of which will be discussed in our material.
The technical manual of the model indicates the clearance parameter in the conditions of full load. It will be interesting to analyze the designated official figures with the results of measurements made using roulette. Some enterprising owners trigger to increase the clearance due to the installation of larger diameter wheels, but this "home-grown technology" has their own shortcomings.
What clearance told the manufacturer for viburnum?
Before any manufacturer, it is difficult to remove the nodes to the lower line of the body of the car Lada Kalina from the roadbed as much as possible from the roadbed, in order to protect them from damage. These are not only the components of the suspension, but also pallets of the aggregates, exhaust highway, etc. Especially relevant is the question of "hideing" the fuel tank, because it is not a secret of the fact of implications during its damage.
The manufacturer denotes the magnitude of the clearance, specifying several control points from which the measurement was performed. So in the manual, or rather in its section on "basic parameters and characteristics" (p. 133-136), two clearance values \u200b\u200bare clearly indicated as follows:
- from road linen to the lowest point of the motor crankcase;
- from a similar point of the transmission unit to a flat surface of the road.
These values \u200b\u200bwere measured after giving the weight load on the Lada Calina car to the regulatory maximum. Such a parameter is easily calculated: it is necessary from the value of the total weight to take out the cutting mass. The magnitude of the load has an impact type of motor and level of equipment. On average, such a parameter reaches a value of 450-500 kg. The magnitude of the clearance, reflected in the manual, will mean its meaning only in the case of giving a car of 500-kilogram load.
For both body versions of the hatchback and the universal model of Lada Kalina in the second generation of ground clearance:
- from the lowest point of the motor - 160 mm;
- from the same point of mechanical transmission - 160 mm;
- from the automatic unit - 145 mm.
If you affect the variation of Kalina Sross, its clearance is beneficial in the most side. Here, the regulatory values \u200b\u200bsay that this value from the motor crankcase to the road surface is 182 mm, and 187 mm from the transmission unit. This value is true for all versions of motors and boxes.
Real measurements of the lumen of cars
Let's determine the road clearance without applying previously specified regulatory load. How to do it? We use tape measure. The results of real measurements we reduce the table.
An interesting experiment was performed, the purpose of which was reduced to the verification of the truth of the ratio of the magnitude of the clearance of Lada Kalina in the usual execution in comparison with the "cross-" version. For this, 4 measurements are made. The clearance value was measured from the roadway to the side body threshold with a preliminary installation of the jack. For the purity of the experiment I had to put both cars in identical conditions. Both "Kalina" appeared on a test with empty salons and luggage compartments, as well as with a minimum of fuel in the tanks.
The usual version of "Kalina" was "shod" in 14-inch radial tires of the 175th width and 55th profile. "Cross" variations got 15-inch tires, the dimension of the width and profile of which was respectively "195x55".
First, Lada Kalina 2 appeared in the standard version. In the lack of load, the value of the clearance reached 198 mm. "Cross" version during the measurement received ground clearance of 217 mm.
At the next stage, 4 people were planted in the tested salons. In the loaded state, the ordinary station wagon issued a clearance rate of 170 mm. When Kalina Cross was loaded, the level of the lumen dropped to 192 mm. As a result, an additional weight was able to lower the clearance of the usual version of 28 mm, and the "cross" is 25 mm. Here, a modified suspension and wheels with a large diameter played their role.
How to influence the level of clearance?
How to increase lumen in your car? If you install the wheels with an increased diameter and the profile, then the clearance is definitely "grows." It is interesting to consider an example of such a forced impact when using wide tires 215x55xR15. With an increase in the profile by 5%, the clearance increase is 1 mm. Adding another five percent in the profile will lead to an increase in the lumen by 2.5 mm.
In leaning towards an increase in the size of the wheels, you should make a look at the factory recommendations. The maximum of the size of the tires installed in the factory defense reaches 185x60xR14 for the standard Lada version of Kalina 2 and 185x55xR15 for the "Cross" version. Theoretically, it is possible to install the size of the 195x40xR17 tires, however, the risk of tiering with tires for the arches of the wheels when driving irregularities and other consequences for suspension capable of providing its premature wear due to the increased weight of the wheels.
Also, the increased tire height is capable of shifting the center of gravity in the upward direction, which will worsen the handling. Another important aspect is the risk of deformation of the rubber tire profile under the influence of the same increased weight. Here there is a risk of overturning when turning the turn at high speed, because the Kuzow roll is inevitably increasing.
Note and positive moments from enlarged wheels. This is not only an increase in clearance, but also the improved body capacity as a whole to perceive the irregularities of the roadway. The move of the car is endowed with soft and smoothness. Now you know how to increase the clearance of viburnum.
Let's summarize
To an increase in the clien of the car Lada Kalina 2, it is necessary to approach the most weigly. Decaling to the extremes here to anything, since the owner in this case assumes not only responsibility for its own security, but for its companions on the road.

Lada Dimensions Kalina Cross Few differences from the size of the usual Lada Kalina wagon. Some sizes simply coincide. However, there is one important difference this enlarged ground clearance. Modernization of the suspension made clearance Kalina Cross more than 23 mm.
Road clearance of an empty car Lada Kalina Cross is 208 mm. However, the manufacturer, according to tradition, indicates the clearance of its cars under load, therefore, in documents, 188 mm usually indicate. But this is a pretty good figure for a very compact car, the length of which is slightly more than 4 meters.
CROSS version width, if compared with ordinary viburnum has not changed and is 1700 mm, but due to the presence of rails and high rubber on 15 inches wheels, the height increased by 60 mm and is 1560 mm. Further detailed characteristics of the dimensions of Lada Kalina Cross.
Dimensions, Mass, Volumes, Lada Clearance Kalina Cross
- Length - 4104 mm
- Width - 1700 mm
- Height - 1560 mm
- Curb weight - 1160 kg
- Full weight - 1560 kg
- Base, distance between the front and rear axle - 2476 mm
- King of the front and rear wheels - 1430/1418 mm, respectively
- Volume volume of Lada Kalina Cross - 355 liters
- The volume of the trunk of Lada Kalina Cross with folded seats - 670 liters
- Volume of fuel tank - 50 liters
- Tire size - 195/55 R15
- Road clearance or clearance of Lada Kalina Cross - 188 mm (no load 208 mm)
Due to the compact sizes of the body, small soles, large wheels and increased road lumen of Lada Kalina Cross, this is a real find for fishing lovers, hunting and traveling in our country. Where with the roads everything is not easy. Yes, this car is not suitable for serious off-road, as it does not have a full drive. However, where other cars are sitting on the "belly", this car will easily ease.
I would especially like to note that the car inherited from the usual Kalina the trunk of the wagon, which was noticeably more than the hatchback. Plus, additional roof rails make Lada Kalina Cross quite practical car.
