Concept 2 Lada XRAY already in the “base” will receive systems such as height adjustment of the driver’s seat, heated windshield and steering wheel, seats and exterior mirrors. Specially designed ergonomic seats ensure comfort even on long journeys.
The design of the second Lada XRAY concept provides good possibilities for transforming the interior: the back of the front passenger seat folds and forms a flat surface with the rear seat folded; in the presence of a luggage compartment organizer, a so-called flat floor is formed, ensuring the convenience of transporting large cargo. A mesh for holding things, equipped with convenient and easy-to-use fasteners, will help keep your trunk organized.
Concept Lada X-Ray 2 (Lada Xray 2) - a prototype of the future Russian crossover
Sales of the new compact crossover Lada Xray will start in December 2015 and early 2016. According to the developers, the serial version of the new car will inherit to the maximum the features of the presented five-door concept car Lada X-Ray 2.
Appearance and dimensions
So, the car will receive a fairly stylish appearance with an abundance of smooth and smooth body shapes. As the name suggests, the front part of the new 2016 car will be decorated with an X-shaped accent that combines complex narrow headlights, a small opening in the false radiator grille with longitudinal, unpainted crossbars and the body of a small horizontal air intake located on the compact front bumper.
The design profile of the Lada X-Ray 2, on the one hand, is quite consistent in terms of proportions, on the other hand, boldly attracts attention with unusual and eccentric stampings on the sidewalls, capturing the space above the wheel arches and part of the side doors of the first and second rows. The stern will delight you with the bright and extravagant boomerangs of the taillights, a compact tailgate, and a small bumper with plastic protection.
The body dimensions of the new car will be 4.315 m in length, 1.65 m in width, 1.625 m in height. The wheelbase size is 2.6 m.
Interior and equipment
It is not yet known exactly what the interior design of the production version of the Lada Xray 2 will be. The concept has a three-spoke steering wheel, two-tone dashboard, door and seat panels, an informative dashboard and a stylish, blown-out center console.
The equipment includes a multifunction steering wheel with column adjustments, heated front seats, and a multimedia complex with a 7-inch touch screen.
Technical characteristics of Lada X Ray 2 2016
The new Russian crossover will receive a transmission from Renault and, along with the VAZ one, an engine from Nissan. Thus, the line of gasoline engines is as follows: Nissan H4, with a volume of 1.6 liters for 114 hp, or the base VAZ 21127 engine of the same volume for 106 hp.

Already in the minimum configuration, the Lada XRAY2 is equipped with driver and passenger airbags, directional stability systems and automatic emergency call systems (ERA-GLONASS).
The high window sill line, large wheels, increased ground clearance (more than 170 mm) emphasize the “off-road” style of the urban hatchback - compact on the outside and spacious on the inside. Traditionally, like all cars of the Lada model range, XRAY2 is fully adapted to difficult Russian road and climatic operating conditions, suitable for both daily use in the city and for country roads and trips into nature.
Production of the new compact hatchback Lada XRAY is planned to begin in 2016 at the AVTOVAZ site (Togliatti). At the press conference, project manager Oleg Grunenkov noted that AVTOVAZ will not limit itself to just the X-ray; it is also developing a crossover, which will be available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions.
AVTOVAZ first showed the Lada XRAY concept at the Moscow Motor Show in 2012. It is also presented at the stand today.

The first concept of Lada XRAY 2012
At the Moscow Motor Show in 2012, AVTOVAZ first presented the XRAY concept; it defined the so-called style DNA. It is clear that since then the car has been modified - only general features have been preserved from the concept. True, the style elements laid down in that first concept were preserved and adapted.
Now AVTOVAZ faces another task - to make an all-wheel drive XRAY. It will have a different level of noise insulation and a set of useful options even in minimal configurations.
Grunenkov noted that he is familiar with the criticism of the new product and tries to perceive it from a professional point of view. AVTOVAZ carefully monitors all user comments on social networks, and also works with potential buyers through the Customer Satisfaction Center.
So, many people think that the wheel size of a hatchback is too small. Grunenkov explained that it was defined in terms of handling and cross-country ability. The alloy wheel itself measures 16 inches, but the tire has certain off-road characteristics and is quite tall. If necessary, XRAY can also be used on a dirt road. Drum brakes are installed at the rear of the car, as they are better protected in aggressive environments: dust, snow, dirt. Disc brakes are more capricious in this regard, but options for their use will be considered in the future on special versions of the car.

Lada XRAY
Oleg Grunenkov is a truly irreplaceable specialist at AVTOVAZ: he was the technical manager of the Priora project, managed the Lada Granta and Kalina projects. He currently heads the XRAY project and took the time to tell fans of the Lada brand about decisions that seemed incomprehensible or controversial to a number of critics of the model.
