Trunk volume of Lada Granta: sedan and liftback bodies

The Lada Granta Liftback is built on the platform from the Granta Sedan, which means that the body dimensions are as close as possible to those of the sedan.

The width and height are the same: 1700 x 1500 mm, but the length is shorter by as much as 150 mm, and is 4246 mm. Inside the cabin, the proportions are maintained, with the exception of the free space above the heads of passengers in the rear row of seats. It was reduced by 8.0 cm. In general, no discomfort was felt. The main advantage of the Liftback model is the increased space in the luggage compartment, despite the overall reduction in body length. With the seats folded, the volume is 440 liters, when unfolded - 760 liters.

Trunk overview, what is where and where

The basic configuration of the Lada Granta Liftback does not include a remote drive to unlock the doors. In Lux versions, a mechanical button is installed on the key. To unlock the fifth door, just press the button once. Next, lift the lid mechanically by hand. Note that it is not easy, one little finger will not be enough, make an effort. Even when folded, the trunk is spacious and impressive. The perimeter is lined with felt, fleecy material. It serves as both cladding and noise reduction.

Unfortunately, there is no rubber mat on the floor, only fleecy material. If necessary, the owner can independently purchase rubber coating. Lifting the false shelf, in the center we will see a recess for the spare wheel. Moreover, the standard radius of the disks is 14 inches, but you can fit all 16 inches. Convenient and practical, since there is free space. In addition to the full tire, there is a mechanical jack and a wheel wrench. If desired, you can fit a tow rope, which needs to be purchased separately; it is not supplied as standard.

Pendant: which one would you like?

But the most interesting changes occurred in the chassis of the five-door Granta. Thus, although cars in the “Standard” and “Norma” versions received an improved suspension, the changes in it were reduced mainly to different settings. But in the “Lux” version, the liftback suspension is significantly different from the sedan: anti-roll bars both front and rear are much more powerful, gas-filled shock absorbers and stiffer springs are installed.

The purpose of all these innovations, according to S. Medinets, was to increase the stability of the car in corners, reduce roll and sway. The suspension of the luxury liftback is denser and more collected than on the sedan, although, according to our interlocutor, we had to sacrifice a little smoothness. And he himself considers the ideal option for our roads to be the suspension in the “Standard” and “Norma” versions with conventional liquid shock absorbers and the same springs as on the sedan: “Such a car is not as accurate in reactions as a luxury one, but it “swallows” better "Typical Russian road defects."

And finally, a new vacuum brake booster, which the Lada Granta liftback received. As a result, the pedal travel, according to our feelings, has become shorter, and the force on it increases as the braking progresses, not as sharply as before. And in general, it has become more informative and accurate.

Dimensions of the Granta Liftback trunk in centimeters

Dimensions of the raised trunk floor in the Lada Granta Liftback The parameters of the spare wheel compartment are as follows:

• diameter: 80 – 81 cm;
• planting depth: 22 cm.

However, it is not recommended to use the compartment for transporting personal belongings, as it is designed to store a spare tire. The absence of a spare chassis element jeopardizes the driving safety of the vehicle.

Comparison of trunk size with other brands

The Grant Liftback's trunk dimensions are not the worst, despite the shortened body. The model successfully competes with many European car brands.

After restyling the model, Lada Granta began to look very much like Lada Vesta. But the rear body has remained virtually unchanged. In fact, the car received a completely finished exterior. See photos of the updated model below.

Features and disadvantages of the luggage compartment

• To fully fold the rear row of seats into a flat platform, you will need to remove the headrests. Otherwise, they will rest against the back of the front seats. The angle of the seat layout will not exceed 160 - 165°;
• To remotely unlock the rear door lock, you need to press the mechanical key fob button twice;
• Lifting the trunk lid requires a lot of effort; the door is moderately heavy;
• A solid rubber mat on a raised shelf is impractical, since with frequent use of a spare wheel or a mechanical jack, the sides touch the fleecy covering, wearing it out.

What kind of oversized cargo will fit into the trunk of a Liftback?

With the rear row seats folded, the trunk can accommodate four tires with a radius of 14 - 15 inches. Plus, there is space on the sides for storing tools, a tow rope, and a foot pump for inflating wheels.

To transport oversized cargo, within the permissible load, you need to temporarily dismantle the shelf. To do this you need:

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew two screws on each side at the base.
2. Remove the cables from the upper loops.

Owner Tips

• To prevent the false floor covering from wearing out prematurely, buy a composite floor for the luggage compartment. As an alternative, choose Polic from Renault Logan Universal.
• To reduce the noise level from impacts of gravel and stones, install additional sound insulation. The wrapping process is simple and can be done by every car owner. No special equipment is required.
• As standard, the Lada Granta Sedan and Liftback come with two ignition keys: one black, the other black with a red layer. Always keep the latter as it unlocks both the doors and the trunk. If lost, restoration will be quite a troublesome procedure.

Interior

What is the real ground clearance of the Lada Granta liftback and sedan

Why is the Granta Liftback better than the Granta Sedan in terms of interior: in many ways, the interior of both models is identical. The quality of the plastic is good, the gap at the joints is insignificant. The standard radio of type 2 is worthy of attention - DIMM on the Liftback, in the Sedan form factor 1 - DIMM. The standard package includes:

• immobilizer;
• seat belt sensor;
• headlight hydrocorrector;
• sound notification of the presence of a key in the ignition switch.

The instrument panel has acquired a visor, now the sun's rays will not illuminate the readings of the on-board computer, tachometer, and speedometer. At the bottom of the central channel there are two cup holders, an ashtray, and a 12 V input for connecting third-party gadgets, charging smartphones and tablets. The shape of the seats is identical, but the upholstery has become more pleasant to the touch, and there are inserts for air circulation. The parking brake lever has finally received a cast handle, it looks more attractive, more powerful, and merges with the central channel.

The rear row of seats folds in a 60/40 ratio, regardless of modification. Which is convenient and practical when transporting oversized cargo. A full-size spare wheel, a mechanical jack, and a wheel wrench are stowed in the luggage compartment under a soundproofing layer. In the budget packages Norma and Standard are only additional. The difference is significant; purchasing a full-fledged wheel requires additional costs.

Reviews

Conclusion The size of the trunk of the Lada Granta Liftback must be given its due. The engineers did a great job, the parameters are higher than a number of European brands: Volkswagen, Skoda, Opel, Seat. Criticism regarding the lack of noise reduction is well deserved; it is a defect of the manufacturer. Considering the low cost of work, you can eliminate the defect yourself.

If you are lucky and the dealer has a car in stock that was produced last year, then you can count on a discount of 20 thousand rubles. The universal body is still the most expensive modification of the entire Granta range, not counting the Cross version, which will appear in the near future.

As for the color scheme of the Lada Granta body , the situation here is as follows. A total of 8 body colors are available, but the palette is quite varied and there is plenty to choose from. You don’t have to pay extra for white and black (“White Cloud” - 240 and “Panther” 672). But metallic colors, such as red “Carnelian” (195), bright blue “Blue Planet” (418), silver “Riesling” (610), silver-gray “Techno” (618), silver-dark gray “ Borneo (633) and golden brown Coriander (790) will cost an additional 6,000 rubles.

Below is an approximate image of the color scheme of the Lada Granta station wagon in 2022. Naturally, such an image cannot convey the fullness of color, especially metallics, but you can get a general idea. The color numbers are shown in the picture below.

Equipment Lada Granta station wagon “Standard”

The basic version “Standard” is the most affordable. The engine is a 1.6 liter 8-valve engine producing 87 hp. and 5-st. Mechanics. There is no need to count on the availability of advanced options.

Full characteristics of the trunk

With the rear seats folded, the trunk size of the Grant is 770 liters, and in normal condition - 440. Among production VAZs, this is the first liftback in history. In terms of luggage compartment volume, the new Granta has left behind even the Volkswagen Golf, one of the most popular hatchbacks in the world. However, on the Golf with the rear seats folded down, the trunk volume increases to 1200 liters, which the Lada designers failed to do due to the desire to maintain the same wheelbase as the sedan.

So, what will real owners say about the size and convenience of the trunk? On the Internet you can find many photos taken by owners of the domestic liftback. Car owners are sometimes quite surprised at how many different things a new car can accommodate. But it turns out that with a large trunk volume, not everything is as rosy as described in the advertisement.

The Grant's rear seats can only be folded when the front seats are pushed all the way forward. In this case, the rear head restraints must first be unscrewed. The top parcel shelf can be easily removed, which is very useful if you need to transport something large. The volume, of course, is not added, but the load does not rest against anything. In the photo the shelf is raised. In the niches on the right and left you can place medium-sized bags, and, if necessary, a strategic set of tools for car repairs on your own.

Salon

Earlier we said that the platform for creating the Granta liftback was Kalina. This can be seen in the interior as well. You can see what the Granta liftback salon looks like in the photo below.

If the exterior was at least somehow redesigned, then the interior is identical to Kalina-2, with the exception of some points. So, the same plastic with silver inserts, round deflectors, an instrument panel with two wells and a three-spoke steering wheel are used here. The latter is not equipped with buttons even in top trim levels, which causes dissatisfaction. It would be nice to have a speaker volume control and a call button. By the way, this car is equipped with a large multimedia display with Bluetooth only in top versions. The cheapest “Grants” come without any acoustics at all. But the database already has steering wheel adjustment (albeit mechanical, but still).

The instrument panel has a pleasant green backlight. Between the scales there is a small on-board computer display. Reviews say that the dashboard is very informative. Thus, the driver can find out information about daily mileage, daily and current fuel consumption, on-board voltage and many other parameters.

Features and disadvantages of the luggage compartment

As practice has shown, a subwoofer cannot be placed in the trunk of a liftback without the risk of damaging it. If installed, it will no longer be possible to transport bulk cargo. Thus, it is better to choose practicality over unnecessary aesthetics. The trunk lid opens, or rather, unlocks, with a special button on the key. You have to open it upwards with your hands, which means you cannot avoid dirt on your palms and clothes. Another drawback is obvious - if you forget the key in the ignition, you will have to return for it.

The trunk handles are described by users as unusual and uncomfortable, more like recesses; they can be seen and appreciated in the photo. The compartment slams silently, you even have to make sure it is closed. In addition, the fifth door is a bit heavy; it needs to be pushed slightly to tilt up. Pressing the trunk release button in the cabin (it is not standard) sometimes prevents the lid from closing, causing the lock to malfunction. You need to press the button again so that the lock takes its proper place and the lid finally closes.

As the president of AvtoVAZ previously stated, the liftback is a more modern design and expansion of the functionality of the car due to a two-volume body. Judging by the fact that manufacturers in advertising indicate the style and sportiness of the model, its main target audience is young people.

Not everything is comfortable and stylish and beautiful. But the minor shortcomings of the liftback can be neglected. This is the design: either tolerate it or not buy Grant. The luggage compartment opening itself turned out to be quite wide, which is certainly useful for summer residents. This can be seen in the photo. In terms of its silhouette, the hatchback looks much faster and prettier than the sedan. It was not easy to fit a large trunk into the strictly chosen wheelbase, which is why the inconveniences described above resulted.

But since the Granta is cheaper than its competitors and is quite to the liking of people who like to travel comfortably with the whole family, taking with them half the benefits of civilization, the car is simply doomed to success. Granta is a serious step towards a qualitative leap in automotive products in the city of Tolyatti and a reason for Russians to be proud.

Salon

Earlier we said that the platform for creating the Granta liftback was Kalina. This can be seen in the interior as well. You can see what the Granta liftback salon looks like in the photo below.

If the exterior was at least somehow redesigned, then the interior is identical to Kalina-2, with the exception of some points. So, the same plastic with silver inserts, round deflectors, an instrument panel with two wells and a three-spoke steering wheel are used here. The latter is not equipped with buttons even in top trim levels, which causes dissatisfaction. It would be nice to have a speaker volume control and a call button.

The instrument panel has a pleasant green backlight. Between the scales there is a small on-board computer display. Reviews say that the dashboard is very informative. Thus, the driver can find out information about daily mileage, daily and current fuel consumption, on-board voltage and many other parameters.

Owner Tips

No one will tell the “grant driver” that he has a typical summer resident’s car. Going on a picnic, fishing, or hunting in such a car is also an easy task, because the dimensions allow you to take everything you need into nature. In general, car owners have a positive impression of the liftback.

And regarding the luggage compartment - do not forget to switch to low beam in the dark, do not put the things you need in the spare wheel tray, buy a different rubber mat, change the location of the tools, do not install a subwoofer and learn how to open and close the lid, and the trunk will be excellent .

Please note that two ignition keys are included with the liftback. The one with the red mark on the end is best stored separately from the worker, since it opens both the doors and the trunk. You can separately purchase a trim for the trunk along with a set of tools and a seal. It is installed using the included screws.

Liftback

With the rear row of seats folded, the trunk volume of the Lada Granta liftback reaches 770 liters. When the seats are in the standard position, the compartment holds 440 liters. The Lada Granta with a trunk of such volume surpassed the European Volkswagen Golf hatchback in the usual passenger row position. This is the first liftback model among domestic cars produced by AvtoVAZ.

Dimensions of the Lada Granta trunk in several planes (in centimeters):

• length – 103 cm;
• length with seats folded - 158 cm;
• width of the narrowest part – 94 cm;
• width of the widest section – 132 cm;
• height – 529 cm.

The overhead luggage compartment can be easily removed. Judging by the reviews of the owners, transporting large items on the Lada Granta is quite convenient. Side niches are suitable for storing tools or carrying hand luggage. Above the recesses there are hangers designed for bags.

On the left above the niche there is a lamp that is activated when the low beam is on. This solution allows you to comfortably load and unload the luggage compartment in cloudy weather or at night. The main thing is not to forget to turn on the head optics first.

The developers placed a spare tire, wheel wrenches and a jack under the trunk mat. There is enough space in the niche to accommodate a 16-inch wheel. In addition to the spare tire, the lower compartment will also accommodate a tool kit.

The Lada Granta Liftback is built on the platform from the Granta Sedan, which means that the body dimensions are as close as possible to those of the sedan.

The width and height are the same: 1700 x 1500 mm, but the length is shorter by as much as 150 mm, and is 4246 mm. Inside the cabin, the proportions are maintained, with the exception of the free space above the heads of passengers in the rear row of seats. It was reduced by 8.0 cm. In general, no discomfort was felt. The main advantage of the Liftback model is the increased space in the luggage compartment, despite the overall reduction in body length. With the seats folded, the volume is 440 liters, when unfolded - 760 liters.

Sedan

Since motorists are interested in the specific dimensions of the luggage compartment, let’s consider them in liters and centimeters. In a domestic B-class car, the trunk volume is 550 liters with the seats up. If the rear row is lowered, the trunk volume of the Lada Granta sedan will increase to 960 liters.

Dimensions of the compartment for transporting things:

• length with passenger seats raised – 103 cm;
• length with passenger seats lowered – 164 cm;
• width of the narrow part – 94 cm;
• width of the wide part – 132 cm;
• height at the narrowest part – 48 cm;
• height in a wide area - 573 cm.
• The advantage of the unusual shape of the trunk of the Lada Granta sedan: convenience when placing baby strollers.

Features and disadvantages of the luggage compartment

It is worth mentioning the possibility of folding the rear row of seats. Maximum capacity can only be achieved by removing the passenger row head restraints. In addition, the front seats will have to be moved as far as possible towards the dashboard. Additionally, it is worth protecting the standard coating with a rubber mat so that it does not become unusable during the first months of using the car.

Installing a subwoofer in the trunk of a Granta is problematic. This element of the audio system takes up a lot of space, so it will no longer be possible to transport bulky cargo. In addition, the subwoofer is at risk of damage.

Other features of Lada Granta luggage racks:

1. You can lock the fifth door with a button on the key.
2. It will not be possible to open the fifth door automatically; you will have to do it manually.
3. The luggage compartment lid handle is uncomfortable and resembles a small recess in shape.
4. When closing the fifth door, you can’t hear the lock latching, so at first
5. you have to check whether the door is closed all the way.

The liftback trunk lid is noticeably heavier than that of the hatchback. Sometimes the lock does not work properly: when opening it from the interior, the fifth door does not close on the first try. In the closed position of the body, spring torsion bars interfere with the transportation of goods. When transporting large items (furniture, household appliances), the fifth door may not close. The lid is not lined with sound insulation, which can create additional noise in the cabin.

Considering the low cost of the car, its shortcomings can be neglected. The developers sought to create a spacious luggage compartment with a small wheelbase. Domestic car enthusiasts liked this solution, which ensured the wide popularity of the new models.

Lada Granta 2022 has been officially presented.

Lada Granta 2022 - a car that has been talked about a lot in the last couple of months, often and heatedly discussed, has been officially presented! The updated Granta put an end to the Kalina era, combining in one family four body styles, the hatchback and station wagon inherited from Kalina, as well as the liftback and sedan from the previous generation Granta. And this is just the beginning; very soon the Granta line will be replenished with two more models, Lada Granta Cross and Lada Granta Sport. The first one was also presented to the public at the presentation of the restyled Grant.

Lada Granta Cross

Today, there is no full range of technical characteristics of this version; it is only known that the cross version will be awarded only to the Granta station wagon, which will receive increased ground clearance to 240 mm and a plastic body kit. The increase in ground clearance will be due to suspension settings and the use of larger diameter tires.

The Lada Granta Cross will be equipped with two types of gearboxes, AMT and manual, but we will not see hydraulic mechanics on the cross version. We won’t see the rear disc brakes that the Granta Sport will receive, while the front brakes will remain the same as before the restyling.

As for the prices for the Grant cross-country station wagon, there is no information on them yet, but the prices for the remaining modifications were announced and pleasantly surprised the public.

Interior and exterior of Lada Granta 2018

The most significant changes in the exterior of the updated Grant family occurred in the front part of the cars. All of them received a design in the X-Face corporate style. In addition, the appearance, due to changes in the front end, has become more aggressive and sporty, thanks to a change in the angle of the front part and new headlights that have changed their position. Yes, yes, the headlights in the restyled Grant are new, unlike the rear ones, which migrated here from the previous generation.

The hood of the Granta 2022 has also undergone minor redesign, now it has a stamping that allows you to redirect the air flow, keeping the windshield clean longer. The windshield washer nozzles are now hidden, under the upper edge of the hood.

With the advent of the new generation Granta, black bumpers have sunk into oblivion; now even in the basic configuration, bumpers will be painted in body color. The front fenders are also revised here.

Granta's profile remains recognizable; there are no stampings on the sides, i.e. the appearance is still recognizable. The sedan received a new trunk lid, onto the newly formed stamping of which the license plate was moved from the bumper.

The interior of the restyled Granta remained virtually unchanged; there was a new dashboard in the style of Vesta, new climate control controls, a new manual transmission knob and a handbrake with improved ergonomics.

The seats received a new shape with more pronounced lateral support, and new door handles appeared on the doors. And to ensure that less noise penetrates into the cabin, fender liners with pile are installed in the arches.

Power units and transmission Lada Granta 2018

Now all Granta engines, both 8-valve and 16-valve, use “stickless” pistons, that is, with grooves where the valve “falls” if the timing belt breaks.

As before, these engines will be combined with three types of gearboxes: manual, robotic and automatic.

There is no more accurate information today; most likely it will appear during MIAS 2018, where the new Grant will be presented to the general public.
