Regardless of the material used to make the tank itself in the Lada Kalina (plastic or metal), its volume is 50 liters.
Here everyone has to decide for themselves how much fuel to pour into the tank.
It is not recommended to allow a situation where the fuel in the tank runs out completely. This may air the fuel system. Also, operating a fuel pump without fuel can lead to its failure and its replacement. It is advisable to refuel the car when its level drops to the red mark on the sensor.

Often those who have just bought or are planning to buy a car ask questions about how much oil should be poured into the engine or gearbox, as well as how much fuel will fit into the tank of a particular car. This article will discuss this issue.
Fuel tank volume for Kalina Universal
The volume of the gas tank according to the passport is 50 liters. The Lada Kalina hatchback and sedan have the same tank volume.
Regardless of the material used to make the tank itself in the Lada Kalina (plastic or metal), its volume is 50 liters.
Here everyone has to decide for themselves how much fuel to pour into the tank.
It is not recommended to allow a situation where the fuel in the tank runs out completely. This may air the fuel system. Also, operating a fuel pump without fuel can lead to its failure and its replacement. It is advisable to refuel the car when its level drops to the red mark on the sensor.
Other parameters
Since the question was asked as the volume of the tank, and the volume of the coolant tank and the volume of the windshield washer reservoir also fit this parameter, we will consider the remaining rated volumes
Engine oil quantity
The manufacturer recommends pouring 3.5 liters of oil into the engine. It is with this quantity that the engine will operate as efficiently as possible, and all working units in it will be lubricated.
Upgraded engine oil dipstick, enlarged grooves
If it is not possible to accurately measure the amount of oil recommended by the manufacturer, then you need to fill it up to about on the dipstick.
If the engine oil is below 0, this will negatively affect the operation of the engine. Also, if there is more than the recommended amount, this will lead to the excess entering the air filter through the breather. From there it will get into the mass air flow sensor and cause damage to the sensor. Also, if there is excess oil in the engine, the seals can wear out or become damaged.
Transmission oil
The manufacturer recommends pouring 3.1 liters of oil into the gearbox. The manufacturer also notes that it is recommended to exceed the specified volume by a certain amount.
Transmission oil dipstick close up
For example, the oil level on the dipstick should be approximately 5 millimeters above the maximum value. This is necessary in order to ensure better lubrication of the fifth gear gears, which, in turn, will help increase the service life of the unit.
Cooling system
In Lada Kalina it is necessary to fill in antifreeze with a volume of 7.84 liters. If you notice visually, then this amount of liquid in the tank will be in the middle of it. It is not recommended to reduce the fluid level excessively, as this will negatively affect engine cooling. Also, you should not exceed the level, since at high pressure the pipes may burst.
Glass washer
Windshield washer tank
On Kalina with a sedan body, the glass washer is provided only at the front. For other body types (hatchback, station wagon) it is also available at the rear. Regardless of this, the capacity of the tank is the same on all cars. Its volume is five liters.
conclusions
Knowing these points, you will be able to control the level of working and consumable fluids in the main components of the Lada Kalina car, as well as top them up on time.
Capacity of the windshield and rear window washer reservoir (hatchback or station wagon)
On the Kalina sedan car, the washer is only on the windshield, since on similar body types it is not needed at the rear. But on a station wagon or hatchback there is also a rear washer. But the capacity of the washer fluid reservoir is the same for any of the three body types and is 5 liters.
Car : Lada Kalina. Asks : Abramov Kirill. The essence of the question : What is the volume of the gas tank on the Lada Kalina?
Good afternoon, Can you please tell me what is the volume of the gas tank on the Lada Kalina? I really want to know what is the maximum amount of gasoline that can fit in my car, because the passport says 50 liters, but in fact about 45 fits?!

Gas Performance Benefits
IN COMBINATION, THESE FACTORS EXTEND THE ENGINE LIFE BY
Gas extends the life of oil and spark plugs and reduces vehicle maintenance costs.
Gas burns a little slower than gasoline, which reduces the load on the piston group and crankshaft, causing the engine to run smoother.
The gas mixes easily with air and fills the cylinders more evenly with a homogeneous mixture, so the engine runs smoother and quieter. The gas mixture burns almost completely, so no carbon deposits form in the pistons, valves and spark plugs.
The octane number of petroleum gas is 103-105, which virtually eliminates detonation of engine parts. This advantage of gas can be especially important for engines with a high compression ratio that consume high-octane (and therefore expensive) gasoline.
The gas does not contain harmful impurities (lead, sulfur), which at the chemical level destroy the combustion chamber parts, catalytic converter and lambda probe.

Technical characteristics of VAZ (Lada) Kalina (VAZ (Lada) Kalina). On this page you will find the characteristics of various modifications of the VAZ (Lada) Kalina: body types, year of manufacture, ground clearance and other features.
A new product from AvtoVAZ has appeared on the roads of Russia, and we have become aware of the technical characteristics of the 2013 LADA Kalina 2. It is worth noting that this is actually the same car, which received a new gearbox and updated design.
Lada Granta Cross 2022: raised station wagon
The all-terrain station wagon Lada Granta Cross is an updated version of the Kalina Cross model, which, after restyling, received a redesigned front end in the style of Vesta and changed its name to Granta, since Togliatti residents decided to abandon the Kalina brand.
The new Lada Granta Cross 2020-2021 has acquired a different radiator grille, different headlights, as well as a redesigned bumper with X-shaped chrome inserts. In addition, the front fenders and hood were also revised.

This car was not presented at the Moscow Motor Show with other models of the family, so its entry into the market is slightly delayed. But otherwise, this modification is not much different from the pre-reform car.
Compared to a regular station wagon, the raised Lada Kalina Cross 2022 in the new body is distinguished by a protective body kit made of unpainted plastic around the perimeter of the body, wide moldings on the sides, a black trim on the fifth door, as well as silver inserts along the bottom of the bumpers. Plus, the model is available in a special shade of body paint called “Aurum”.
If the restyled Granta sedan and liftback received a front panel from Kalina in the cabin, then here it was already installed from the very beginning. Except that now the central deflectors are framed with decorative inserts, and the modernized instrument panel has orange rims on the scales.
Plus, the area of all armrests and the padding of the front seats was increased, and a button to call the ERA-GLONASS system appeared on the ceiling. In addition, inside Granta Cross still stands out with bright contrasting inserts on the steering wheel, seats and air ducts.
Specifications
The new 2022 Lada Granta Cross is based on the same chassis with McPherson struts at the front and a semi-independent beam at the rear. The ground clearance (clearance) here is increased from 160 to 183 millimeters due to the modernized suspension and tires measuring 195/55 R15.
The overall dimensions of the all-terrain station wagon have not yet been specified, but they certainly do not differ much from its predecessor, which has a length of 4,104 mm, a width of 1,700, a height of 1,560, and a wheelbase of 2,476.
The trunk volume here is 355 liters by default, but with the backrests of the second row folded, 670 liters will fit in the compartment, the fuel tank volume is 50 liters. Two versions of a 1.6-liter petrol unit with an output of 87 hp are offered as power units for the Lada Granta Cross. (140 Nm) and 106 hp. (148 Nm).
Both are paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, but the more powerful version can also be ordered with a five-speed AMT robot. The latter has acquired a crawling mode, when the car begins to move automatically when the brake is released, which is very convenient in heavy traffic, as well as a “Sport” mode for faster climbing of steps.
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h of the new Lada Granta Cross in the initial version takes 12.2 seconds, and the top speed reaches 165 km/h. A car with a 106-horsepower engine and manual transmission has characteristics of 10.8 seconds. and 177 km/h, and the version with the robot is 13.1 s and 178 kilometers per hour. These figures may be adjusted as they are given for Kalina.
What is the price
All new Grants went on sale in September two thousand and eighteen, but the Granta Cross version will hit the market a little later - its sales will begin on June 12, 2022, but the configurations and prices were announced at the beginning of the month. The cost of a station wagon in the basic Classic configuration with an initial 1.6-liter engine producing 87 hp. and manual transmission is 554,900 rubles.
The price of the new Lada Granta Cross 2022 with a more powerful engine of 106 “horses” starts from 592,900 rubles, and if instead of mechanics you take the version with an AMT robot, then the minimum you will have to pay is 617,900 rubles, and the most expensive version of the model costs 643,900 rubles.
Role and device
The tank belongs to the power supply system of the Lada Kalina engine. It is located in the rear of the car under the bottom. The container structure itself is welded. It is attached to the body elements by means of two metal tie straps. In addition to the tank itself, the circuit feeding the engine includes:
- an adsorber that allows you to capture vapors formed inside the container we are considering (located directly next to the tank);
- to prevent these vapors from entering the external atmosphere, there is a special pipe between the adsorber and the tank, connected to the designated components of the system by a separator and a gravity valve;
- a protective screen must be located next to the specified tank;
- a fuel pump assembly with a level sensor is integrated into the upper part of the tank; this device supplies gasoline to the fuel rail through the line;
- the tank has a filler neck through which fuel is replenished;
- At the bottom of the tank there is a fuel filter that allows you to retain debris present in gasoline;
- from the fuel rail, gasoline enters the manifold using injector injection, where it is mixed with air in a certain proportion, after which it is sent directly to the engine chambers;
- excess fuel is supplied through the return line back to the tank (here the process is controlled by a pressure regulator present directly on the ramp); this partly allows one to avoid a significant increase in temperature and pressure, relieving the system of abundant vaporization of the fuel.
Tires R15
For modifications of cars with 15-radius wheels, the manufacturer provides a more stringent operating mode. The company’s form table indicates that the optimal pressure will be within 2.4/2.5 BAR, respectively, for the front and rear of the car.
It is strictly not recommended to reduce the level of pumping below normal. Actions may cause damage to the sidewall of the tire or its self-disassembly while driving.
What does the manufacturer testify to?
The fuel tank for Lada Kalina 2nd generation can be made of metal or a plastic product. The regulatory tank volume, which the manufacturer describes in its manual, is 50 liters. This figure would be a useless figure if owners were not aware of the actual fuel consumption.
Here the manufacturer claims a figure varying from 6.7 liters to 7.8 liters. The indicated “run” of values is directly influenced by factors such as:
- type of motor used;
- installed transmission option;
- driving mode;
- level of equipment (consumption increases in more expensive versions due to the use of a greater number of auxiliary comfort systems);
- driving style (taken into account by the owners themselves).
By the way, the manufacturer regulates the use of only 95 gasoline for all types of Lada Kalina units.
Today there is no owner who would not be “scared” by increased fuel consumption. For small cars in the budget category, to which Kalina actually belongs, the psychological barrier appears at around 10 liters per “hundred”. After this, the owner needs to contact the service to find out the reasons for such an excess from the manufacturer’s standards.
Gas tank volume
According to the manufacturer's manual, all Lada Kalina cars in various modifications have the same gas tanks with a capacity of 50 liters.
However, many car owners very often ask this question - why doesn’t the gas tank contain all 50 liters?!
The answer to this question is quite simple! For Lada Kalina cars of any modification, the engine filling volume is about 43-45 liters, and 50 liters is an indicator of the total volume, since the remaining 4-5 liters are system fuel, and figures of 1-2 liters may be error figures in the manufacture of the gas tank. The gas tank on the station wagon is the same.
Fuel tank inspection
The worst case scenario is that the gas tank is clogged and a mixture of sand, dirt and sediment has formed at the bottom. Then you need to clean the fuel tank.
Why do they fill more?
It should be remembered that the volume of liquid can vary depending on ambient pressure and temperature. Plus 2 liters in the fuel line - this is if the tank is completely dry. But if instead of 50 liters you were filled with 55, then this is already a reason to doubt the correct operation of the “release mechanism” at the fuel station.
How much can you fill?
Some desperate owners resort to an unwanted experiment to determine how many liters the tank is maximum. They empty the container in natural mode almost to zero. In this case, the indicator arrow on the tidy “sinks” far into the red zone. This situation is harmful for the fuel supply pump, since at this moment it experiences “starvation” and periodically captures air pockets. This is very fraught with failure of this complex and expensive component.
After running out of fuel, the Lada Kalina 2 engine stalls and requires a new portion. In such a situation, owners fill the tank with the maximum possible volume. Some subjects claim that they were able to fill the maximum volume of the gas tank with 50 liters, and then add another 5 liters. This excess fuel is located in the filler pipe. Since it has a considerable diameter, it is quite possible to place this volume of fuel in its internal cavity.
Volume
In terms of the size of the luggage compartment, the station wagon is located in the middle between the hatchback and the sedan.
In liters, its volume is exactly 355. This is quite good for such a compact car as Kalina. Let us remind you that if necessary, it can be more than doubled.
The linear dimensions are as follows (in millimeters):
- width between wheel arches – 934;
- length from the trunk door to the rear seats – 806;
- height from floor to lid – 520;
- width behind the wheel arches - 1341;
- length from the first row of seats (with the rear seats folded) to the door – 1439.
In reality, we should not forget that the height to the roof of the car is 980 millimeters, which means that the total volume will exceed one and a half cubic meters. That is, if necessary, it will not be difficult to transport a refrigerator, for example.
However, if the volume of the luggage compartment is a decisive factor when choosing, you should still prefer a sedan - this is the largest car according to the specified criterion, currently produced by VAZ.
Let's sum it up
For owners of Lada Kalina, such a stated indicator as the maximum tank capacity is a purely subjective value. For some Lada Kalina 2 owners, the 50-liter gas tank volume is quite sufficient, but for others, on the contrary, it is not enough. How long can this car travel on one full tank? Here, opinions also differ, because many claim that they have reached a mileage of 700 km, while others are limited to around 500 km. Let us repeat that for normal operating conditions of Kalina, this tank volume is sufficient.

Replacement frequency
The manufacturer advises changing the oil in the Lada Kalina engine after 10 thousand kilometers. This regulation was developed taking into account local climatic factors, but even in this case it can be adjusted for the worse. For example, if the car is often subjected to increased loads, and if the driving style is not best suited to the characteristics of a budget-level car. The more the car is subjected to complex loads, the faster the oil becomes unusable. This pattern is also relevant for other budget-level models, including Renault Logan. There is nothing surprising here, you just need to change the oil more often. It is possible that the replacement will have to be performed both after 8 and 5 thousand kilometers. The main thing is to do this in time so that spoiled oil does not damage the engine components, because otherwise it may lead to a major overhaul.
Norma Classic
Fuel tank volume lada granta liftback
This package also includes air conditioning, heated mirrors and central locking. The wheels here are still the same, 14 inches. The cost of this version from an official dealer is 420 thousand rubles.
This is the maximum configuration of the Lada Kalina 2022. This includes a second airbag, fog lights (lensed), alarm, central locking, immobilizer with remote control, and a light sensor. There are parking sensors, heated rear and windshields, power mirrors and an audio system with radio. Unfortunately, this version does not have a touch screen on the panel. The cost of the Lux modification is 486 thousand rubles.
Brake system
The price of the new Lada Kalina does not include disc brakes. For the efficiency of the specified unit, this procedure is carried out independently or at a service station. On the standard version of the car in question, the price of which starts from 600 thousand rubles, rear drums and front discs are mounted. The system can be upgraded by installing all four disk analogues. Having minimal skills and tools, the manipulation is easy to do yourself.
Factory modifications of domestic cars are equipped with not the highest quality wheels. Updating them won't be difficult. Cast elements significantly transform the appearance of the vehicle. You can improve road grip and also reduce the braking distance by installing good tires.
Do-it-yourself coolant replacement
To drain the coolant from the Lada Kalina you will need to remove the ignition module.
Cover the generator with a plastic bag and place the prepared container under the crankcase protection on the right side near the wheel. Now find the radiator cap in the lower left corner and unscrew it . Be careful as the radiator fins are quite sharp and can cut you. The liquid will flow out with great pressure
Move the container and unscrew the plug on the engine. Now the cooling system needs to be flushed. If you purchased a special cleaning agent, carefully read the instructions. If you decide to rinse with water, then proceed as follows. To begin, tighten all the plugs, replace the ignition module and return the electrical wires. Fill the expansion tank with distilled water. To ensure that the maximum amount of it fits into the system, squeeze the upper pipe that goes to the radiator with your hand. Start the car and warm up the engine thoroughly. Its temperature should be at least 95 degrees Celsius, because at this value the thermostat opens and the liquid begins to move in a large circle. Turn off the car and wait for the engine to cool down, this will take approximately 10-15 minutes. Next, carry out all the operations to remove the ignition module and drain the liquid, as described above. To further clean the system, you can attach a garden hose to the tank and wash away any remaining dirt under water pressure. Also, do not forget about flushing the expansion tank, it also accumulates a sufficient amount of unnecessary deposits. To do this, the steam exhaust pipe from the radiator and the main pipe are removed, as well as the mount to the body. Now remove the tank, rinse it well and return everything to its place. Next is pouring new antifreeze into Kalina. Filling should be done slowly, taking breaks and squeezing the upper radiator pipe. This way we will reduce air jams. At this stage, about 6 liters will enter the tank. Without closing the plug, start and warm up the engine. At the same time, put on gloves and, when the thermostat opens, bleed the upper and lower hoses. The coolant level in the reservoir will decrease and need to be topped up. It is better to assess the level of antifreeze in the tank when the engine has completely cooled down. The level in this case will be between the minimum and maximum marks. Otherwise, liquid can be added or partially drained. Check that the connections are secure and you're done.
Replacing antifreeze on Kalina occurs in several stages:
- drain the antifreeze.
- fill in new antifreeze.
- Remove air from the engine cooling system.
