Salon Lada Granta Sport 2016
The interior decoration of the car will not greatly please you with its quality, but it will please you with a considerable amount of free space. The driver and front passenger will sit in good seats with mechanical adjustments, slight lateral support and red stitching. The back row is designed for three passengers, and they will be able to fit there, but it will be much more comfortable for only two passengers.
The driver will have in his hands a 3-spoke leather steering wheel with red stitching, which is mechanically adjustable only in height. The instrument panel is ordinary, but at the same time clear and informative. It has a large speedometer and tachometer and a non-color trip computer in between. To the left of the steering wheel there are selectors for turning on and adjusting the lights, and there is also a button for opening the trunk.
The center console is equipped with air deflectors in the upper part, made in the style of Renault Logan. Nearby there is an alarm button, and below it there is a 7-inch display of a multimedia system with a navigation function. A little lower there is a control unit for the heater and air conditioner; the selectors are made in the form of the usual knobs.
The model's luggage compartment is 480 liters, which makes it a formally sports car and also an everyday one.
Manual Transmission Background Information
According to official VAZ documents, Grants must be fueled only with A-95 gasoline, since their engine was developed specifically for this brand of fuel. If, as a result of measurements, the consumption according to the on-board computer is in the range of 4.5-5.5 liters, it means that the engine is working normally, and the increased fuel consumption is associated with driving style or the congestion and condition of the roads.
The sports version of the popular domestic sedan - what is the advantage?
Dimensions of Lada Granta Sport
slightly inferior to its original version, the ground clearance has become slightly lower, and the trunk space, on the contrary, has increased from 480 liters to 520. But the main improvements have affected the functionality of the car and its power indicators. The dashboard has been modified in accordance with the purpose of the model - an easy-to-use touch display and convenient air conditioning switch levers have appeared. The interior of the cabin looks laconic, strict and restrained; there are no budget materials or ostentatious luxury. The seats have comfortable headrests, lateral support and a reliable orthopedic frame.
The Lada Granta Sport engine has truly impressive characteristics - a naturally aspirated petrol engine with a volume of 1.6 liters gives the car the ability to accelerate to 100 km/h in 9.5 seconds, and the maximum speed that the unit can reach reaches 197 km/h. Such technical capabilities have made the car in demand in Russian realities - since it is powerful, fast, quite passable and at the same time has low fuel consumption. The affordable price also played a role - buying a car in a sports version will be much more economical compared to foreign analogues of sports cars, of which there are not so many on our market.
If you are interested in the described characteristics of the car and want to get acquainted with a full overview of its qualities, contact the Moscow car dealership “Inkom Auto”. The full Lada model range is available, all colors and configurations, all official dealer guarantees, discounts and gifts.
Great car. I am very pleased with the purchase, I made no mistake with my choice. Excellent handling and maneuverability. Dynamic, accelerates well. Great brakes. Light steering wheel (you can steer with one finger). Economical. Low gasoline consumption, even in winter when starting the car from the factory several times a day and turning on the heated seats frequently. High ground clearance, which means there are fewer problems with parking, especially in winter. Comfortable salon.

Lots of impressions... We're waiting for winter... then I'll write back... I'll tell you my impressions after 1 month of owning a Mitsubishi Fich 2013. automatic SVT, minimal equipment. I won’t list why exactly he is - everyone decides for themselves what they need according to their budget and desires
The only important thing is whether the expectations of buying a new car were worth it - the expectations of driving and handling. I’ll say this - the wait was worth it and the impressions changed to “if only I’d take it too”
Reviews of consumption from real owners Reviews of owners
If you calmly pull away from traffic lights, smoothly pick up speed, do not rev the engine above 3500-4000 rpm, avoid sharp braking, coast in gear, this is a big step towards saving or, at a minimum, optimizing fuel consumption. 6 liters, if the car owner complies with the manufacturer’s regulations for operation and maintenance, can reach up to 280-300 thousand kilometers.

Technical characteristics and character of Lada Granta Sport
The Lada Granta car is produced at the AvtoVAZ factories, in the city of Togliatti, and at IzhAvto, the city of Izhevsk. The first production model of this brand rolled off the assembly line in 2012, and quite quickly began to gain momentum in production and sales, both among Russians and abroad.
After some time, the manufacturers of Lada Granta decided to improve the existing copy, creating several modifications that differed from the standard configuration and had higher technical characteristics. To date, the following modifications of the Lada Grant have rolled off the assembly lines of the AvtoVAZ and IzhAvto plants: standard, luxury, sport and liftback, in sedan and hatchback bodies. In this article, we will talk specifically about the Lada Granta Sport car.
Engine
The Lada Granta Sport modification was equipped with an in-line gasoline injector with four cylinders. The total engine displacement is 1600 cubic centimeters, that is, 400 cm3 for each cylinder. With such engine performance, the technical characteristics have increased significantly compared to the standard and luxury configurations.
Engine of the Sports model
Lada Granta Sport, at the maximum permissible crankshaft rotation speed, in high gear, can reach a speed of 197 km/h. Also, due to the increase in power, the speed of acceleration of the car to the first hundred has decreased - 9.5 seconds. The maximum power that the Lada Granta Sport engine can produce is 118 horsepower, with the maximum permissible crankshaft rotation at a speed of 6750 rpm.
Having such technical characteristics, the Lada Granta Sport car consumes relatively little fuel. If we take the calculation for the urban cycle, then per 100 km, the engine uses 8.4 liters of fuel. When driving on a highway or highway, consumption decreases significantly - 5.8 liters per 100 kilometers. But, since often the calculation is based on a mixed cycle, then the Lada Granta Sport consumes 6.8 liters per hundred. This means that a full tank of 50 liters will last you approximately 700 kilometers.
Since the Lada Granta Sport is equipped with an injector, it is recommended to use only high-quality gasoline with an octane rating of at least AI-95, since such a fuel supply system is very difficult to clean from debris, dust particles and sediment. And running the engine on bad fuel, or with a contaminated system, will significantly worsen the technical characteristics of the machine.
Body
The body of the Lada Granta Sport is quite massive in size. The length of the car, from the front extreme point to the rear extreme point, is 4280 mm. The width, also based on the extreme points (mirrors), is 1700 mm. At the same time, the wheelbase of the Lada Granta Sport is not very wide - 1430 mm for the front wheels, and 1420 mm for the rear. The height of the car is 1470 mm, which allows for comfortable entry into the cabin.
Sport model body
The Lada Granata Sport is a sedan and has 4 doors and a separate trunk with a capacity of 520 liters. The engine is located in front, in a transverse position.
Since this modification is a representative of the “sport” class, it is absolutely not intended for off-road driving. Even despite the good technical characteristics for such a thing, the ground clearance of 150 mm will definitely discourage the owner from any desire to ride over potholes and bumps.
The curb weight of the Lada Granta Sport is 1140 kilograms. The maximum permitted load capacity, including passengers, is 400 kg. Some Grant models are equipped with a tow bar. The maximum weight that can be transported using a trailer is 450 kg if the trailer does not have brakes, and 900 kg if the brake system is installed.
Transmission
To a large extent, the characteristics of a car depend on what kind of transmission is installed on it. It promotes rapid acceleration and can affect top speed and gas mileage. The Lada Granta Sport is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission. The car itself has front-wheel drive, which clearly improves its handling and acceleration speed.
Bottom line
Lada Granta Sport is the only model belonging to the class of sports cars among AvtoVAZ, which is proven by its characteristics. Very comfortable, thanks to its independent suspension and rack-and-pinion steering mechanism. In general, this sample is an opportunity to get a car with a sporty spirit for a fairly reasonable amount of money.

Can you trust the computer readings in your car?
The first thing that comes to mind is related to engine malfunctions, the chassis of the car, or the operation of the electronic engine control system. We have discussed in other materials what exactly could cause consumption to increase. In these cases, you need to take your vehicle to a specialized service station or climb into the pit of the garage yourself to get to the bottom of the reasons. But what to do if no visible faults could be detected, and the bookmaker still gives us not very reassuring data?
Computer readings can and should be trusted, but always with a certain correction. The fact is that it demonstrates the average consumption of gasoline or diesel fuel. This value directly depends on the mode in which you had to move during the last time interval. Let's explain with an example: let's say you had to drive about 500 km on the highway, and then 50 km in city mode. You cannot completely trust the consumption indicator, because the time spent in the countryside is 10 times greater than the distance traveled in the city.
A very high rate of fuel consumption is usually associated precisely with the time when we have to move in city traffic jams at a minimum speed. To do this, it is enough to estimate the average speed of movement and, if it is within 20–30 km/h, then it is not difficult to guess why the BC gives such readings.
Lada Granta: repair, operation, tuning and maintenance
Every true car enthusiast loves his car, and especially twirls the nuts and bolts. The main thing is that it brings pleasure, and there would be fewer difficulties. It is precisely for such individuals that the domestic car was invented! Yes, that’s exactly what the Lada Granta is, a domestic car which will be discussed below. You can get pleasure from repairing this car by turning the nuts. For this purpose, this article is being written to help carry out high-quality repairs of the Lada Grant. And we will talk about repairing the camshaft.
The camshaft is a tube with cams directed in different directions relative to the axis of the shaft. Metal products are cast iron. Location: the top of the engine under the valve cover. The drive is carried out using a belt drive (round-toothed belt) from the crankshaft, through a self-tensioning roller, passing through the coolant pump
The camshaft is an important component of the engine, and the operation of the engine as a whole depends on its incorrect operation. Let's first dwell on the adjustment of this miracle part.
The beginning of the adjustment is to tension the timing belt. Having opened the belt cover, you need to turn the crankshaft clockwise, aligning it with the mark on the flywheel, which is visible in the crankcase hatch, to the center of the scale. Make sure that the camshaft flywheel mark is aligned with the timing mark of the rear timing belt cover. Then we turn the crankshaft counterclockwise so that the mark on the pulley is lower than the rear cover mark, by two teeth. We check the tension of the belt drive, which should not exceed that written in the car manual. If the force is higher or lower than normal, then we adjust it as follows. Return the mark on the camshaft flywheel to the point of contact with the mark on the timing belt cover. Loosen the lock nut of the tension roller and, pressing the roller on the belt, tighten the nut. Checking the tension. Important! Avoid strong tension.
Do you need to replace the camshaft drive belt? This is how it is done. We put the car on the handbrake and engage, with the engine off, 4th or 5th gear. Remove the front belt drive protection cover, loosen the generator drive belt by removing it from the pulleys, and remove the generator drive pulley from the crankshaft. Switch the gearbox to neutral and turn the crankshaft, clockwise, placing a mark in the same way as when tensioning the belt. Loosen the belt, loosen the tension roller, and remove the belt. Slowly and without bending, we put the belt on the same place as the previous one, trying not to turn the crankshaft and camshaft. Advice If it is difficult to put on the belt, then bringing it as close to the installation as possible, simply push the car in gear. The belt is in place. Set the marks as when adjusting the belt tension - that’s it, the belt will be changed.

Sporty on the outside and no less sporty on the inside
The gearshift lever and steering wheel are now covered with very high-quality leatherette, a seven-inch touch (!) display has appeared on the console, and the front windows are electric “already in the base.” By the way, the 2022 Lada Granta Sport is comparable in cost to a “non-sport” car, but in the “Lux” specification. However, even in the previous generation, the Granta Sport version was never cheap.
Today's sports "civilian" Grant has a 1.6-liter engine, boosted to 120 horses and 160 Nm, against the "former" 145. This power unit was designed on the basis of a serial engine with the VAZ 21126 index - a very productive engine. Among other things, this version was equipped with brake components from AP-Racing with 200 mm 4-piston ventilated front disc brakes and 135 mm 2-piston rear disc brakes.
So-called semi-sports seats with pronounced lateral support are installed here. They have a long cushion, but are also designed in a “sporty” way.
Fuel consumption of 8-valve engines. Lada xray
By the time the engine reaches the end of its life, the automatic gearbox will have more than a hundred thousand kilometers of potential mileage left. If the electronics give values that seem implausible or, due to a breakdown, simply do not show them, there is an old and time-tested other way to measure fuel consumption.
Engine | Consumption (city) | Consumption (highway) | Flow (mixed) | Type of fuel |
1.6 MT 81 hp (Mechanics) | 9.8 | 5.6 | 7.6 | Petrol |
1.6 MT 98 hp (Mechanics) | 9.8 | 5.6 | 7.2 | |
1.6 MT 106 hp (Mechanics) | 8.9 | 5.6 | 6.8 | |
1.6 AMT 106 hp (robot) | 8.5 | 5.5 | 6.6 | |
1.8 MT 123 hp (Mechanics) | 9.8 | 5.6 | 7.2 |
Price and options
We indicated the old price tags, because the production of the model has been completed. The average price on the secondary market is 400,000 rubles.
I would like to say right away that the buyer can install almost any desired options here and this will certainly affect the price. We will discuss the versions and their prices, which are offered by the manufacturer, because we don’t know what else potential buyers might want and how much it will cost.
The basic version of the model will cost the buyer 541,000 rubles, and it has a poor interior. In more detail, it will contain:
- ABS;
- 1 airbag;
- air conditioner;
- EUR;
- on-board computer;
- leather steering wheel and gear selector;
- front electric windows;
- central locking.
The second and last trim level, which is called Luxe, has richer equipment. The cost of this version is 592,000 rubles, and on top it will receive:
- climate control;
- rear parking sensors;
- light and rain sensor;
- fog lights;
- heated windshield;
- alarm;
- heated seats;
- USB.
There was also a rumor, unconfirmed by the manufacturer, that a version with a 2-liter engine, which is equipped with a turbocharger and produces 200 horsepower, will be sold. It was said that this version would cost from 800 thousand rubles, but so far it has not appeared in the line.
Lada Granta Sport - review, prices, videos, technical specifications
The debut of the first ever serial sports modification of a domestic car took place at the International Moscow Motor Show in 2012. Models with the sport prefix were produced before, however, their technical component almost completely repeated the top-end configurations of standard cars. The new product received serious improvements, a redesigned interior and a rather interesting design. Lada Granta Sport is strikingly different from regular versions. The stylish aerodynamic body kit catches your eye. The front bumper received a different radiator grille, a larger air intake and different fog lamp niches. On the sills you can also see small overlays that harmonize perfectly with the embossed rear bumper and a small spoiler on the trunk lid. The wheel arches accommodate fairly large 16-inch alloy wheels with many thin spokes. As for the interior, inside you can see sports seats with developed lateral support and other upholstery with red stitching. In general, the designers managed to give the budget sedan a more fresh and interesting look.
Dimensions
Lada Granta Sport is a four-door sedan of the subcompact class. Its overall dimensions are: length 4280 mm, width 1700 mm, height 1470 mm, and wheelbase 2490 mm. As for the ground clearance, in the Sport configuration it is 140 millimeters. Thanks to this landing, the model boasts good stability and a reduced center of gravity. It will hold the road better, even at relatively high speeds, and is less likely to roll over. If we talk about the suspension itself, it is not much different from the factory version; the front has the same independent McPherson struts, and the rear has a semi-independent torsion beam. The manufacturer installed stiffer gas-filled shock absorbers and shortened springs. It is worth noting that disc brakes are installed on each wheel. The diameter of the front ones is 280 mm, and the rear ones are 240 mm.
specifications
At the moment, Lada Granta Sport can be ordered in the Drive Active configuration. Essentially, it will be a standard car with the usual 106-horsepower engine, factory transmission and standard brakes, but with all the external trappings of a sports version. As for the Sport package, it has received several rather serious improvements.
This engine is based on a conventional naturally aspirated sixteen-valve petrol engine with a capacity of 1596 cubic centimeters. It has a simple intake manifold, without a system that changes its geometry, as well as sports camshafts with increased valve timing and lift. It is also worth noting a more efficient exhaust system with a different resonator and muffler. As a result, the engineers managed to squeeze out 114 horsepower at 6750 rpm and 154 Nm of torque at 4750 rpm. The power unit is mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Its main feature is another main pair with a gear ratio of 4.3. Thanks to this transmission and a modified engine, the sedan accelerates to the first hundred in 9.5 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 195 kilometers per hour. As for fuel consumption, it has increased slightly. Granta will consume 10.1 liters of gasoline per hundred in the city, 6.8 on the highway and 8.6 liters in the combined cycle.
Bottom line
Lada Granta Sport is a unique offer. It has a rather interesting and dynamic design, which nicely refreshes the nondescript features of a rather small car. Despite its class, such a car will not get lost in the gray everyday traffic and will attract glances, even compared to its competitors. The interior is a realm of good finishing materials, sporty ergonomics and comfort. Even a heavy traffic jam during rush hour or a country trip should not cause unnecessary inconvenience to the driver. The manufacturer understands perfectly well that the hallmark of such modifications is their engine. That is why the sedan is equipped with a simple but quite revving engine, which is a fusion of proven technologies and many years of engineering experience.
Let's sum it up
Purchasing a Granta Sport will undoubtedly be a profitable undertaking, since the owner, for an affordable amount of money, receives a car with enviable dynamic capabilities, excellent practicality and low maintenance costs, technical characteristics are also at the proper level. One should not lose sight of such an important aspect as the Granta’s maintainability, which positions it favorably against the background of competing foreign cars. You can seek service assistance from any station that provides such services, and you can also resort to independent repair of some components or systems.
Sports successes of LADA
In addition to producing sports models, LADA SPORT has been performing with a branded team in Russian circuit, rally and karting championships since 2022.
The Russian Rally Cup routes mostly run on public roads. Cars drive from point A to point B. Pilots are allowed to reach maximum speed only in certain areas; the rest of the time they drive according to normal traffic rules.
The Russian circuit racing series is an official competition in automobile circuit racing in the status of the Russian Championship and Cup. The first circuit races took place in the USSR in 1955. As the name suggests, these competitions are held on paved circuits.
Also, since 1996, the Christmas Race of Champions has been held annually at the AVTOVAZ test base in Tolyatti. Racers drive through a difficult track on ice. In 2022, the race trophy - “Silver Boat” - was received for the sixth time by LADA SPORT ROSNEFT team member Kirill Ladygin.
