Lada XRay Cross 2022 - a domestic cross-hatch with cross-country ability no worse than a crossover, and the price is comparable to a sedan

For the first time, the most modern domestic all-terrain cross-hatchback Lada XRay Cross was presented to car enthusiasts during the Moscow Motor Show in 2022. Its main differences from the standard XRay were its increased ground clearance, plastic body kit, more powerful front bumper and 17-inch wheels. In addition, the technical characteristics and equipment of the new model have changed somewhat. In the domestic market, the 2022 Lada X-Ray Cross is available in four basic trim levels and two additional trim levels, equipped with special option packages. All models are equipped with two types of available engines - naturally aspirated, 1.6 or 1.8 liter, paired with a manual transmission or CVT. Prices for the new product range from 792.9 thousand to 1,056,900 rubles. The main competitor to the cross-country version of the hatchback is the Renault Sandero Stepway and, to a lesser extent, the Renault Duster.

Engines

The 2022 Lada Xray has three powertrains :

- HR16 engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 110 hp. With. (development of the Alliance) and a five-speed manual transmission (development of the Alliance) - discontinued from June 2016 ;

-engine 21129 with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 106 hp. With. (developed by Lada) and manual transmission (developed by Alliance);

-engine 21179 with a volume of 1.8 liters and a power of 122 hp. With. (developed by Lada) and a robotic gearbox (developed by Lada). In the fall of 2016, a manual transmission became available with this engine (see test drive)

The least powerful version of the XRay accelerates from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in 11.9 seconds (manual), a modification with a 114-horsepower engine in 10.3 seconds (manual), and the top version with a 1.8-liter engine in combination with a “robot.” - in 10.9 seconds.

The base engine for the X-ray will be a VAZ 16-valve unit with a volume of 1.6 liters . The engine power will be 106 hp , and it will be coupled with a French manual gearbox JR5, assembled at AVTOVAZ. It was decided to abandon the VAZ “mechanics” because of its noise. Maximum speed – 170 km/h. Consumption 7.5 liters. Price 589 thousand rubles .

The second engine for the 2022 LADA XRAY is “a combination of Nissan’s H4 engine, also localized at VAZ, and the same JR5 “mechanics.” Obviously, we are talking about a 1.6-liter petrol unit with a capacity of 110 hp . It is also installed on the Nissan Senta, although it does not produce 114 hp. 4 “horses” were lost due to “adaptation”. Mixed consumption will be 6.9 liters. Price from 639 thousand rubles . – discontinued

The third engine for the LADA XRAY is a 1.8 liter VAZ unit producing 122 hp. and working in tandem with a VAZ automated manual transmission (AMT). With this engine, X-Ray will accelerate to “hundreds” in 10.9 seconds, and its top speed will be 183 km/h. Fuel consumption – 7.1 liters. Price from 669 thousand rubles .

VAZ-21179 (1774 cc) - the first serial domestic engine with variable valve timing

The suspension of the new VAZ product was borrowed from the Renault Sandero (the new Lada is being built on the basis of the hatch), while it has different springs and shock absorbers, as a result of which the XRAY “completely lost the legendary Logan’s rolliness.”

An important point on the Lada Xray is the non-disabled traction control system TCS (or traction control as many call it). This system prevents wheel slipping and loss of traction, but sometimes it still interferes, for example, you can simply get stuck in the snow, since the wheels will slip and the system will block them. This drawback was clearly demonstrated in the comparative test “Autoreview” (at 8:15 minutes):

To be fair, it should be noted that the factory knows the problem and promises to install a button to disable the traction control system in the summer of 2016. Updated : which was done in October 2016:

Specifications

For domestic motorists, the new 2022 Lada X-Ray Cross is available with two types of power units – a 1.6-liter engine with a power output of 113 “horses” or a 1.8-liter engine that develops power at 122 horsepower.

The first type of engine is a product developed by the French concern Renault-Nissan and works in conjunction with a continuously variable transmission. In this version, the car can accelerate to “hundreds” in 12.8 seconds, and gasoline costs will be 7.3 liters. The 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine from AvtoVAZ is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. This technical design allows the new cross-hatch to accelerate to 100 km/h in 10.9 seconds. The maximum speed for the model will be 180 km/h. At the same time, fuel consumption for this configuration is 7.5 liters per “hundred”.

As the basis for the production of cars, the developer used the B0 platform, created as a result of joint work by Renault and AvtoVAZ specialists. Thanks to the use of this trolley, the cross-hatch received an independent multi-link with MacPherson struts at the front and a rear torsion bar. The braking system consists of front and rear brake discs.

Main dimensions and characteristics of the new Lada XRay Cross:

  1. Body dimensions – 4171 x 1810 x 1645 mm.
  2. Number of seats – 5.
  3. Ground clearance – 215 mm.

For comparison: Renault Sandero Stepway has the following characteristics: 4,080 x 1,757 x 1,618 mm; 2,589 mm.

The ground clearance of “co-platform” cars is the same – 195 mm.

Weight distribution on the front and rear axles is 51 and 49%

Handling and off-road performance

Not being a classic city SUV, the Lada XRay Cross turned out to be a fairly maneuverable cross-hatch, and the presence of serious ground clearance allows the owner of this model to overcome not only minor bumps on the road, but also serious obstacles without any problems.

Probably the main drawback of the model, due to which the car cannot be classified as a full-fledged SUV, is the lack of an all-wheel drive system. The presence of 17-inch wheels and high ground clearance give no reason to doubt that a cross-country domestic hatchback can solve many problems associated with poor-quality road surfaces and off-road conditions. And only the lack of an all-wheel drive system can lead to the fact that overcoming difficult conditions will be a serious obstacle for the driver.

Maintenance costs

Like most Russian cars, the 2021 Lada XRay Cross is much cheaper to maintain than its foreign competitors. Carrying out maintenance is quite affordable for a car enthusiast with an average level of income. As for warranty service, the interval between each subsequent service is 15 thousand kilometers. The first few maintenance services will cost 5-7 thousand rubles and require a mandatory replacement of filters and oils.

Significant disadvantages in terms of the cost of servicing the French 1.6-liter engine include the rather serious level of high cost of some consumables. In particular, replacing spark plugs will cost 30 thousand rubles more than for an AvtoVAZ unit.

The cost of final maintenance for a Renault engine will be even higher. A banal service will cost the motorist about 50 thousand rubles, which is caused by the need to replace the drive belt. This component for domestic power units will have a much lower cost.

Engines

There is no information yet about the technical characteristics of the Lada X Ray, but there is information that the engine range will consist of a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with 114 horsepower, as well as a 5-speed manual transmission. There may be other options in the future.

Initially, it was planned to begin production of cars at the end of 2015 - beginning of 2016, however, according to new data, the Lada Xray model will begin mass production in October next year. Production will be established at the enterprise's facilities in Tolyatti and Kazakhstan.

Dynamic qualities and fuel consumption

As for the power indicators and engine dynamics of an all-terrain cross-country hatch, they are quite sufficient for driving in urban conditions, where the driver needs to both accelerate the car in a timely manner and successfully maneuver. At the same time, the limit values ​​will allow you to maintain a fairly high speed even during long journeys between cities on the highway. Speaking directly about dynamics, we can recommend choosing a French engine, which has better acceleration dynamics.

Fuel consumption for this car is quite acceptable and is at the level of 7.3-7.5 liters per “hundred”, which is comparable to the level of gasoline consumption for similar models of competitors.

Design

The exterior design style of the new Lada XRay Cross is made in the classic AvtoVAZ traditions of modern models. The X-face of the front part and the side stampings on the wings and doors - all this is fully consistent with the corporate style of AvtoVAZ. The head optics and diffuser of the cross-hatch stand out effectively due to the installed chrome decorative inserts. The rear is equipped with a short glass on the tailgate and a metal trim at the bottom of the bumper. The outlines of the entire body are elegantly emphasized by a plastic body kit that runs along the entire lower part of the cross-hatch.

The interior decoration of the domestic all-terrain hatchback is made in a two-tone design, and in the most top modifications the interior will also receive decorative inserts. The front panel is equipped with a classic analog instrument panel, as well as a multimedia system with support for the Yandex.Auto service.

The interior seats are finished in fairly decent quality, and the lateral support is on par with the best foreign representatives of the SUV segment.

Competitors

The main rival of the domestic X-Ray Cross 2022 is the French model Renault Sandero Stepway, but some experts note that the XRay is quite capable of competing with some representatives from the SUV segment, in particular, the Renault Duster or the more expensive Kaptur.

Lada Xray Cross

LADA XRAY will be offered only with front-wheel drive ; in 2022, the all-wheel drive XRAY Cross 4x4, with similar technical characteristics, was supposed to go on sale, but later AvtoVAZ decided to abandon the all-wheel drive modification. As a result, the Lada Xray Cross will only be front-wheel drive and the only difference from the regular Xray hatchback will be roof rails

Base price of Lada Xray: from 589 thousand rubles, equipment and prices: https://www.lada-xray2.ru/vse-o-lada-xray#price

3 year warranty

Sales start – February 15, 2016.

According to preliminary information, the basic modification of the Lada XRAY model will include two airbags, a stabilization system, an audio system with a Bluetooth transmitter, LED running lights, front electric windows, the ERA-GLONASS system and central locking with remote control. Cars with Renault-Nissan engines will be equipped with air conditioning and heated front seats.

Below is outdated information!

If we talk about the technical characteristics of the Lada Xray, Bo Andresson, president of AvtoVAZ, said that four versions of the Lada Xray are planned for release. It is reported that all of them will have excellent qualities and technical characteristics inherent in SUVs. For example, such as high cross-country ability. Andresson emphasized that this “is at the DNA level.”
