Technical characteristics of Lada Largus van FL 2022 - photos, videos, load capacity

When purchasing a particular vehicle, a person always adheres to certain goals. In the case of purchasing a Lada-Largus, as a rule, motorists want to get a roomy and easy-to-use car.

While this model has proven itself in terms of convenience, there is not much information about its dimensions. In today’s material, our resource decided to take a closer look at the dimensions of different components of the Lada-Largus and, in general, the overall dimensions of the car. At the same time, we focus attention not only on technical information, but also on reviews from model owners. Well, let's get started.

Modifications of the LADA LARGUS FL van

Since 2012, the Lada Largus Van has been equipped with Renault engines, which worked together with JH3 and JR5 gearboxes. The power connection looked like this:

• 1.6 l Renault K7M 84 hp 124 Nm and 5-speed manual transmission Renault JH3
• 1.6 l Renault K4M 102 hp 145 Nm and 5-speed manual transmission Renault JR5

After 2016, due to environmental standards, we had to abandon Renault engines in favor of Russian 11189 and 21129. Initially, AvtoVAZ engines worked with JR5 gearboxes, but later the gearbox was replaced with our 21809.

Was:

• 1.6 l VAZ 11189 87 hp 140 Nm and 5 manual transmission Renault JR5
• 1.6 l VAZ 21129 106 hp 148 Nm and 5 manual transmission Renault JR5

Became:

• 1.6 l VAZ 11189 87 hp 140 Nm and 5 manual transmission VAZ 21809
• 1.6 l VAZ 21129 106 hp 148 Nm and 5 manual transmission VAZ 21809

In 2022, the Lada Largus FL Van received an update to its 8-valve engine, which received a new index 11182. From 2021, the Largus Van is available in the following modifications:

• 1.6 l VAZ 11182 90 hp 143 Nm and 5-speed manual transmission VAZ 21809
• 1.6 l VAZ 21129 106 hp 148 Nm and 5-speed manual transmission VAZ 21809

About the car

With impressive cargo compartment dimensions, the Lada-Largus van is a practical domestic vehicle based on the B0 platform.

By its nature, this is a Renault Logan Van, released in 2006, on which specialists simply changed the emblem and performed some modifications.

The Lada-Largus is perceived as a workhorse, which will appeal to both avid lovers of trips to the countryside and entrepreneurs who specialize in small cargo transportation.

The practicality of the car is perfectly combined with a high level of comfort. The Lada-Largus van has a modern air conditioner and audio system, heated front seats, central locking, electric windows and other useful options that are a significant contribution to the profitability of the business. This is explained by the fact that driver comfort affects the success of transportation.

In addition to the above advantages, Lada-Largus has the following options:

• Power steering.
• The glove box is large.
• Pockets in the front doors for storing small items.
• The center console is ergonomic.
• A lighting point is integrated into the luggage compartment.

The car has high cross-country ability: ground clearance without load is 18.1 cm, with full load - 14.5 cm. The gear ratios in the gearbox are selected specifically for the cargo model.

Technical characteristics of Lada Largus Van 2022

Foreign cars with comparable carrying capacity

If it is difficult to find a car with similar characteristics among ordinary station wagons, you should turn to neighboring classes.

5 and 7-seater options with a spacious trunk are typical for the MPV class, which unites minivans and high-capacity station wagons. Among the typical representatives are Renault Kangoo, Peugeot Partner, Fiat Doblo, Skoda Roomster, Volkswagen Caddy.

Without focusing on the significantly higher cost of these vehicles, we will conduct a comparative analysis of their cargo capabilities:

• Renault Kangoo is available as a 5-seater minivan with a payload of 451 kg and a van with a payload of 592 kg. Luggage compartment volume ranges from 660 liters as standard to 1,524 liters for vans and minivans with the rear seats folded down.
• The Skoda Roomster is designed for 5 seats and can accommodate from 450 to 1555 liters of luggage weighing 455 kg.
• Peugeot Partner in minivan format (5 seats) with a luggage compartment of up to 2800 liters and in a van modification of up to 2830 liters can carry up to 600 kg of luggage.
• Volkswagen Caddy for 5 or 7 passengers takes up to 665 kg of cargo in the trunk. The volume of the compartment, depending on the configuration of the seats, ranges from 750 to 3300 liters. The Caddy Maxi van with an extended wheelbase has a luggage compartment volume of 4.2 m3.

External dimensions

Initially, the vehicle was designed as a universal micro truck for small business tasks. The car must carry a sufficient amount of cargo and feel comfortable on city streets crowded with traffic.

The manufacturer succeeded in this - the relatively compact car has sufficient capacity and increased ground clearance, which allows you to move normally on “killed” roads in small cities and towns.

The technical characteristics of the machine are as follows:

• Width – 1750 mm;
• Height – 1650 mm;
• Ground clearance – 145 mm;
• Length – 4470 mm.

Conventionally, it is convenient to park a truck where vehicle access is limited.

Cheap to operate

The affordability of maintaining a car consists of two main factors: the car should not require large financial investments, and the price of spare parts and consumables should be moderate. With both factors, the Lada-Largus van with a larger-than-average cargo compartment is in perfect order. Engines from , even if an unscheduled breakdown occurs, can be brought back to life quite realistically at low cost. The same applies to other components and systems of the car.

The low cost of spare parts is also explained by their widespread availability. Car brands such as Renault Logan, Sandero, Duster and Kaptur, Nissan Almera and Xray are produced on the B0 platform with many parts. The annual total circulation of these cars is about 200,000 copies on the Russian market alone. It is quite clear that spare parts for them are produced in large quantities, which helps to save a lot.

Luggage compartment

Nv Lada Largus van the volume of the cargo compartment is the main advantage. Here the manufacturer tried to achieve maximum capacity and ease of loading large objects.

The trunk doors open 180 degrees, which allows you to “stuff” cargo into the car across the entire width of the body. Essentially, the inside is a square compartment with a rubber floor - this is designed to prevent the load from sliding. At the same time, some users remove the casing or cover it with plywood sheets - it is almost impossible to move the boxes on the stock rubber.

The ability to load entire pallets is highlighted. The width of the cargo compartment is 1020 mm, which makes it possible to work with a forklift.

The length of the box is 1850 mm. Consequently, the movement of large boxes or structures will not take you by surprise.

The total volume of the Lada Largus van body in cubes is 2540 liters, which is more than enough to transport small and large cargo. An additional advantage is the standard solution for such cars - moving the spare wheel under the bottom of the car. At the same time, the manufacturer has moved the spare tire mount so that its silhouette does not protrude from the bottom of the body. Therefore, nothing interferes with loading.

To increase useful space, some motorists dismantle the plastic bulkhead between the trunk and the passenger compartment. The useful length of the body is 195 cm, which in some cases is not enough. The insertion is removed as follows.

1. Prepare heads No. 13, 17 and Torx keys T20/35/45.
2. Remove the terminals from the battery and install the car on the handbrake.
3. Remove the seat belt and unscrew the screw underneath.
4. Remove the interior trim from the driver's cab side. This is done by hand - the parts are held on plastic clips. In this case, the halves of the partition are removed simultaneously. To dismantle the left part, you first need to unscrew everything, and then put the right part in place.
5. Under the covers there are screws with 13 mm heads - they need to be unscrewed.
6. Next you will need to move into the back of the car.
7. Here you need to use the same keys to release the sash fasteners and remove it from its engagement.

At the same time, even this is not enough for some drivers. Users remove the machine's underbody trim to achieve increased compartment height. The procedure looks like this.

1. Preparation for surgery is similar.
2. Using a T30/40 wrench, unscrew 8 standard screws securing the plastic to the machine body.
3. Carefully lift and remove the plastic from the body.

Before reinstallation, you will need to install rubber seals around the perimeter to prevent moisture from getting on the metal.

Unfasten the partition or part of it

The partition separating the body and the cabin consists of two halves. They can be removed separately. Both parts are screwed to the body with screws designed for a 13mm key size. Of course, you need a socket wrench.

Screws 1 were hidden under the casing

The four screws on the left and right are located on the cab side. And to unscrew them, remove the casing.

Where is the Largus body number located?

An important question that usually arises when registering a car is where the VIN numbers are located. First of all, you need to pay attention to the right central pillar of the car. At the bottom of it there is a plate with data, among which the third item is the required number.

In addition, the number is indicated on the body cross member, under the front passenger seat. Often these numbers are erased - under the seat due to the accumulation of condensation from the air conditioner, and at the door - due to careless use and erosion. This can lead to registration difficulties, so it is important to keep your numbers safe.

Review and all restyling changes

New interior Cross version.

Apart from a modest restyling that took place a year and a half ago, the Russian station wagon Lada Largus, produced since 2012, could not boast of any serious modifications.

But as soon as the Russian Lada and the French Renault announced close cooperation, the result of which should be the technical unification of the majority of public sector vehicles, the pioneer of the new line was immediately identified. It was the updated 2021 Lada Largus FL, where FL means facelifting.

Start of serial production in Tolyatti!

As expected, the Lada Largus Cross 2022 in the new body received an X-face style front end with characteristic chrome moldings on the bumper, and the front console from the Renault Duster 2022 was successfully integrated inside the car, diluting it with a steering wheel from the XRay Cross.

There are no changes in technology yet, so the new Largus Cross will continue to be equipped with 87- and 106-horsepower gasoline engines and the same non-alternative transmission.

Body

The assembly of restyled cars at the Tolyatti plant has already started, and the first released copy, which immediately fell under the lenses of journalists’ cameras, was the “cross” version of the station wagon in the maximum configuration and with increased ground clearance.

The Lada Largus Cross 2022 model year received a special plastic body kit for the sills and wheel arches, as well as the original body color “black sands of the Karakum desert,” but experts were more interested in new equipment. It turned out that in addition to the updated front end, the model received new two-color wheels, side mirrors with turn signals and a larger LADA inscription on the rear.

Salon

New interior Cross version.

Many elements of the interior trim of the Lada Largus Cross 2022 were borrowed from the first-generation Renault Duster crossover, but the Togliatti team retained the dashboard graphics characteristic of LADA models and additionally worked on the ergonomics of the driver’s seat.

As a result, the power window control buttons were located on the door cards, and the seat heating controls moved to the console. Like the steering wheel, it was also decided to take the seats from the Lada XRay, but at the same time Russian engineers reported that in the very near future modifications of the station wagon with a more seriously redesigned interior would appear, as well as “rich” configurations with “cruise” and heated rear passenger seats and steering wheel. Another confirmed option is a color multimedia screen.

Technical stuffing

The restyled Largus was left with 1.6-liter power units with a distributed fuel injection system and a 16-valve timing belt. The Fours are still offered in two power options, while the 2022 Lada Largus Cross is planned to be equipped exclusively with a more powerful 116 hp engine. With.

The transmission is the same for all modifications - a five-speed manual, the drive is only front-wheel drive, although in all previous years the Togliatti residents declared their intentions to make the station wagon all-wheel drive.

Most likely, this will happen one day, since all LADA models, like “budget” Renaults, should soon move to a single universal platform that will be used on sedans, station wagons, and crossovers.

Are there any competitors?

Due to its body layout, the Lada Largus does not have a large number of its “opponents,” especially in the market spaces of the CIS countries. This can be partly explained by moderate demand. If we again tend to limit ourselves only to post-Soviet market areas, then we are unlikely to find a worthy competitor to this station wagon in terms of carrying capacity. Impressive figures can serve as a simple confirmation of this:

• the van is able to overcome a weight of 800 kg;
• the station wagon can handle a 650-kilogram load, the volume in liters allows this.

Competitors are only able to get closer to these indicators, because their load capacity is at the level of 450-600 kg. The list of dimensional characteristics of the Largus trunk may bring a little disappointment, because in this discipline the station wagon is not a leader, but it is not “tagging along” in the “tail of the tournament bracket”.

Detailed information regarding dimensions is most clearly reflected in the following table:

As you can see, two positive aspects speak in favor of the universal “Russian woman”:

• enviable convenience when loading luggage, especially large ones, which is facilitated by the door opening limit (reaches 180 degrees with the doors fully turned out); Not a single universal model can boast of this feature;
• reasonable cost of the car, which is especially noticeable in comparison with famous competitors.

Important! Against the background of the entire set of indicators characterizing the versatility of the LADA Largus, it can be unequivocally stated that the domestic model, although in some minor disciplines loses to its rivals, in general terms, against their background it looks very decent and advantageous. Here, few will argue with the functionality of the “Russian woman”
