Trunk volume of the VAZ-2109 in liters and centimeters: characteristics

VAZ cars, 2113, 2114 and 2115 are models that are popular among domestic drivers. This is due to their low cost, maintainability, relative reliability and unpretentiousness. And the practicality of using the car depends on the volume of the trunk of the VAZ 2114.

The trunk of the 2113 model is transformable: the driver can remove the shelf and fold down the rear seats. After this, its capacity is 632 liters. The hatchback allows you to transport small and long cargo.

Disadvantages include the lack of standard lighting (when tuning a car, you install it yourself), a high loading side, which makes it difficult to place cargo inside.

VAZ 2115 2115x 2006 1.6i

Generation: 2115xEngine: I4, Gasoline Power: 82 hp
(60 kW) Wheel bolt pattern parameters

What wheel sizes does the manufacturer recommend to install?

The VAZ 2115 2115x 2006 1.6i is equipped with 5Jx13 ET35 rims assembled with 175/70 R13 82T tires as standard. Where:

• 5J - rim width in inches;
• 13″ — tire diameter in inches;
• ET35 - disc offset in millimeters.

The vehicle tire marking 175/70 R13 is deciphered as follows:

• 175 — profile width (cross section of the tire) in millimeters;
• 70 - profile height as a percentage of its width;
• R - radial cord winding;
• 13 - tire diameter in inches.

In addition, information about its load capacity and speed parameters can be printed on the rubber - load index and speed index. The load index is a two- or three-digit number; the speed index is indicated in Latin letters, for example 82T:

• 82 - maximum permissible tire load 475 kg;
• T — maximum permissible vehicle speed is 190 km/h.

Using the recommended tire sizes will help you avoid problems with handling, safety and other difficulties. What non-standard sizes can be supplied? Refer to the table; it indicates possible acceptable alternative sizes for tuning. Although there are other options that we have not described in the table. For example, wider discs of the same diameter. Or install wheels of the same width, but with a larger diameter, which is quite popular among car owners. The choice of discs is huge; you can find copies with the same parameters, but with an overhang 1-2 millimeters more or less. It is not possible to list all the options.

At the same time, the bolt pattern for all types of wheels is the same - 4x98. Thus, all disks are mounted on four bolts and the distance between them is exactly ninety-eight millimeters. The diameter of the car's hub is 58.6 mm.

Standard tire pressure is 1.9 MPa.

About VAZ-2115

The VAZ-2115, part of the Lada Samara line, is radically different from its predecessor both in appearance and, accordingly, in dimensions. The front-wheel drive subcompact sedan developed by VAZ is no longer produced. Its production began in 1997 and closed not so long ago - in 2012, which is quite reasonable, given the speed of modernization of vehicles.

The entire model is a restyling of the VAZ-21099.

If you look closely, there are quite a lot of differences:

• more rounded sections of the body;
• trunk lid shape;
• rear and front optics;
• bumpers painted to match the body color;
• door moldings;
• threshold fairings;
• spoiler with additional brake light;
• completely new interior;
• improved electrical equipment.

All models with pilot modifications were equipped with VAZ-21083 carburetor engines, but this only happened from 1997 to 2000. In 2008, the VAZ-2115 underwent significant cosmetic changes in order to be a little more suitable according to modern criteria to foreign car brands. But this did not become a winning idea - the car was discontinued.

Differences between the model and its predecessors

It is worth noting that this car has undergone the most significant changes in comparison with previous representatives of the line. The car body was completely modernized: it acquired smoother contours and became 22 centimeters longer.

The front of the car acquired original narrow headlights, the shape of the hood and front fenders changed. The bumpers took on modern shapes and began to be painted in body color, and additional brake lights appeared on the rear spoiler. The rear lights were supplemented with intermediate inserts, which increased the attractiveness of the rear of the car.

The trunk volume and carrying capacity of the vehicle have increased. The interior of the car has also changed, which is complemented by an updated dashboard and improved seats. The built-in steering column adjuster lever, which made it possible to set the optimal position of the steering wheel for drivers of different builds, also speaks in favor of the model.

How much does the body of a VAZ 2115 weigh without everything?

The curb weight of a vehicle is the weight of a vehicle with standard equipment, various consumables (oil, coolant, etc.), but minus the weight of passengers, driver and luggage.

Dry weight is equal to curb weight, but only without fuel, some equipment and consumables. That is, this is the mass of an unloaded vehicle without fuel.

The permissible gross weight is the weight of the maximum loaded vehicle provided by the manufacturer. This is sometimes called the maximum permissible mass. It is better not to go beyond the limits of this indicator, unless, of course, you want your car to last for a very long time. The increased load has a negative impact on the car body and suspension parts.

Random entries - how much does it weigh:

I took the car for spare parts, I took off everything I could, I wanted to sell it as metal, but there are no scales to weigh the body. If anyone knows, tell me how much the bare body of a VAZ 2110 weighs (without doors, trunk lid, hood, rear and front beams, A-pillars, and fenders) in advance thanks a lot!

Main competitors

The main competitors from domestic brands were Lada-Granta and VAZ 2111. The “Eleventh” model has a spacious interior and a large luggage compartment, which determined its advantage.

Reviews about the fifteenth model are mostly positive. Owners are satisfied with: stability on the road, ease of maintenance and a fairly low price. But the small interior is not very comfortable, especially for transporting passengers in the back seat.

The car is economical, comfortable, and stable on the road. Quite frisky. If you invest a little money in tuning, it will have no equal. It can even compete with the Priora, having less weight than it. The instrument panel is easy to read. The steering wheel turns easily. There was a desire to install an EUR, I went to the rocking chair - now I don’t need it. The trunk is roomy and the load capacity is excellent - I loaded it with 4 bags of cement, the mudguards were plowing, but I got there fine.

Oleg. Russia.

VAZ 2113

Thanks to the trunk volume of the VAZ 2113, drivers have the opportunity to transport large loads. Its capacity is 330 liters. The technical characteristics of the luggage compartment make it possible to transport items of non-standard sizes.

The trunk of the 2113 model is transformable: the driver can remove the shelf and fold down the rear seats. After this, its capacity is 632 liters. The hatchback allows you to transport small and long cargo.

Disadvantages include the lack of standard lighting (when tuning a car, you install it yourself), a high loading side, which makes it difficult to place cargo inside.

VAZ 2114

VAZ 2114 is a reliable five-door car. The capacity is 330 liters with the seats folded down, and with the seats folded down it is equal to 632 liters. The loading height of the side has an inconvenient level (similar to that used on the thirteenth model), which significantly complicates the loading process.

The dimensions of the trunk are as follows: length - 830 millimeters with the seats folded and almost 1660 millimeters with them unfolded, width - 935 millimeters, depth - 830 millimeters, height - 780 millimeters. These dimensions are approximate and are valid for models 2113 and 2114.

Transformation capabilities allow you to load items whose length and dimensions differ from standard dimensions. When installing additional luggage structures on the roof, you can transport a certain amount of large cargo.

The capacity, expressed in liters, is identical to the volume, which is indicated in cubic decimeters.

VAZ 2115

The trunk volume of the VAZ 2115 is 427 liters with the seats folded down; if they are unfolded, the capacity increases to 700 liters. The dimensions of the luggage compartment have been increased, thanks to which even large-sized cargo can be transported on the fifteenth model.

The advantages include ease of dismantling, installation of a shelf, as well as a convenient height for loading. It is located almost at the level of a car bumper.

Drivers often improve sound insulation and standard luggage compartment lining. They install an electric drive for opening the lid, install lighting, and construct boxes for storing small items (however, due to their installation, the trunk significantly loses volume).

Trunk Features

The features of the luggage compartments of various modifications of models 2113, 2114, 2115 include an acceptable level of capacity and the possibility of transforming the interior to increase useful volume.

The VAZ 2115 is distinguished by a convenient loading height and a larger trunk volume than the Lada 2115. Otherwise, the design of the cargo compartment is identical to other models.

Cars are equipped with a standard shelf; it is installed vertically and separates the luggage compartment and the interior. If necessary (for example, when transporting large cargo that requires folding the rear seats), this shelf and the vertical curtain can be removed.

On Lada 2113, 2114, 2115 cars, under the “floor” of the trunk there is a niche for storing a spare wheel and tools necessary for quickly repairing small faults that may arise along the way.

The VAZ 2115 is distinguished by a convenient loading height and a larger trunk volume than the Lada 2115. Otherwise, its design is identical to other models.

The VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115 models, which are modifications of the “eights”, “nines” and “ninety-nines”, respectively, have become more ergonomic, easy to use, and practical. The cars received spacious luggage compartments, which increased the amount of cargo transported. The presence of a number of shortcomings does not deter drivers: some inconveniences can be corrected on their own.

Cars of the VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115 family are popular not only in Russia, but also in the CIS countries.

This is due to the wide distribution of these cars, their unpretentiousness, relative reliability, maintainability and cost.

The machines have an acceptable loading niche capacity, which makes them convenient to use for solving everyday household problems or running a small business.

Changes

Overall, despite some similarities, the 2115 has a significantly more modern design. This was largely due to the presence of bumpers and other external elements made of plastic. All of them help protect the body from minor damage and the negative effects of corrosion.

The most notable innovations in this model are the following:

• additional brake signal installed directly on the spoiler;
• new rear lights;
• highly reliable security system;
• a tailgate sill that allowed the loading height to be reduced;
• more streamlined body geometry;
• door moldings;
• modern electrical equipment.

At the time the design was completed, the VAZ-2115 was a modern and quite beautiful car. At the same time, its interior turned out to be much more comfortable than that of the old models of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. The driver was able to regulate:

• steering wheel height;
• seat position, etc.

The designers installed a console between the front seats. The heating system and the ECU also turned out to be more advanced. Moreover, the trunk of the model in question is much more spacious than its predecessors.

The designers borrowed many elements from the 2114, while many devices and components were inherited from the G8. For example, the chassis has migrated unchanged to the new sedan.

Ground clearance VAZ 2114

Ground clearance is the distance from the lowest point in the center of the car body to the ground. However, the manufacturer of the Lada 2114 Samara measures the ground clearance as it suits him. This means that the distance from the shock absorbers, engine oil pan or muffler to the asphalt may be less than the stated ground clearance.

An interesting point: car buyers pay special attention to ground clearance, because in our country good ground clearance is a necessity; it will save you from headaches when parking to curbs. The ground clearance height of the Lada 2114 Samara is 165 mm

But be careful when going on vacation or returning with shopping: a loaded car will easily lose 2-3 centimeters of ground clearance

The ground clearance height of the Lada 2114 Samara is 165 mm. But be careful when going on vacation or returning with shopping: a loaded car will easily lose 2-3 centimeters of ground clearance.

If desired, the ground clearance of any car can be increased using spacers for shock absorbers. The car will become taller. However, it will lose its former stability at high speeds and will lose greatly in maneuverability. The ground clearance can also be reduced; for this, as a rule, it is enough to replace the standard shock absorbers with tuning ones: the handling and stability will immediately please you.

Button control

It is very convenient when control (opening the trunk) is carried out from a button. Every car owner knows that it is very important to ensure that the trunk, like the car doors, closes securely. Reliable operation of trunk locks is just as important as the reliability of the lock on a garage or apartment door. All modern car models are equipped with a trunk opening mechanism using a control panel or a special button. Installing a mechanism with a button not only makes control more convenient, but also solves a number of problems. In particular, this solves the problem of icing of the lock, which is opened with a key.

Carrying out repair work

1 – front bumper; 2 – radiator frame; 3 – front right wing; 4 – radiator frame panel; 5 – radiator frame support; 6 – upper cross member of the radiator frame; 7 – right front fender mudguard; 8 – right front spar; 9 – hood hinge; 10 – front panel; 11 – hood; 12 – front suspension spring support; 13 – air supply box; 14 – windshield frame; 15 – front door; 16 – roof beams; 17 – roof panel; 18 – trunk lid; 19 – rear window frame; 20 – left outer side panel; 21 – rear floor; 22 – rear bumper; 23 – rear door; 24 – spoiler; 25 – front seat bracket; 26 – front floor; 27 – front floor cross member; 28 – floor reinforcement; 29 – front left wing; 30 – left front fender mudguard; 31 – towing eye bracket

The repair stages are as follows.

1. Surface preparation. Using a solvent, a special liquid is applied to the plastic element and external contaminants, asphalt particles and resin are removed.
2. Sand the damaged plastic fragment, smoothing out paint chips and removing traces of corrosion.
3. Select paint color.
4. Putty and prime, giving the elements smoothness.
5. Painting parts. The prepared plastic elements are painted, keeping the color shade in accordance with the rest of the car.

After an accident, when parts are seriously damaged - the hood, fenders, sills, trunk, there is no need to purchase a new body, it can be restored. In this case, specialists will repair it. The craftsmen check whether the type and geometry of the body elements correspond to the original linear dimensions established by the manufacturer.

To do this, restore the dimensions of the openings of the hood, doors and other necessary elements for further repair and painting of damaged parts:

• cut and remove damaged body parts;
• check whether the geometry of the entire body corresponds to factory specifications;
• in case of discrepancies in sizes, all components are adjusted and adjusted;
• grind and prime the prepared elements;
• carry out color selection for painting the part;
• The type of paint coating is determined, since there may be incompatibility between the old coating and the new paint. The type of paint is determined based on the information available to the manufacturer. When choosing a painting technology, its sensitivity to solvents is taken into account;
• Subsequently, painting is carried out in special chambers and varnish is applied.

If the craftsmen have completely completed the repair, then you don’t have to look for a new body, but install all unpainted elements on the repaired one. In this case, the owner can decide on a new color choice for his car, since painting of many parts will be necessary.

Modernization

Whatever one may say, after several years of operation, even the most elegant car wants to be modernized. Automakers have long understood this, periodically introducing restylings and tuners making changes on their own.

Regarding the 15th model, many attempts at modernization were carried out at the amateur level. Some images of such tuned cars have every right to be called masterpieces, others, to put it mildly, are not impressive.

When the car's mileage reaches 50 thousand km, it's time to think about the suspension. Tuners recommend upgrading it first, as one of the weakest areas.

Over time, the reaction is no longer the same as before, when even on the icy road 2115 confidently passed through flat sections and turns. Now the rear of the car begins to toss from side to side, and the acceleration dynamics and handling are no longer the same.

The second, no less important note relates to the comfort of the car. Over time, the already frail sound insulation completely wears out. Everything starts to creak, including the rear parcel shelf.

Modernization also concerns the introduction of various options. To be honest, almost all VAZ car models reach the end user as “semi-finished products”. There is no competent anti-corrosion treatment of the body, there are no required comfort and safety parameters.

Here are the activities that are usually carried out, such as tuning and modernization on the 15th model:

• Installation of lockers and protection of the power unit crankcase;
• Replacement of sedan door and trunk locks with new, silent ones;
• Replacement of covers;
• Modernization of disks by installing new cast ones;
• Noise insulation and anti-creak treatment of various parts of the body, necessarily the roof and doors;
• Body painting and anti-corrosion treatment of the floor and other components most susceptible to corrosion;
• Installation of body reinforcement (struts);
• Replacing bumpers;
• Replacement of wing and spoilers;
• Remodeling doors and much more.

Painting

Painting has a longer history than the car itself. At least if you mean a paint gun. Modern tools are made at the highest level and make it easy and quick to paint a part or the entire body in the appropriate color.

Note that small scratches on the paintwork of the 15th model can be easier to remove by polishing. But if they are too deep and reach the ground or metal, you have to paint them.

As you know, painting can be carried out in 2 ways: partially, when the parts are painted with a transition, or completely.

Transition painting is applicable only in cases where one or another body section is being restored. This method has both advantages and disadvantages.

Note. In particular, with this method, body parts will not need to be dismantled, and therefore the structure will not be damaged. On the other hand, partial painting cannot guarantee the long-lasting effect of paintwork as much as complete painting.

It was written above about the pistol, but you can paint the 15th model in your garage using a spray can. But this method has many disadvantages:

• The spray can has an uneven spray, which significantly complicates painting (an overly saturated jet causes smudges);
• It is difficult to choose the appropriate color of paint sold in cans;
• Spray paint fades faster over time (such paint protects the surface less well).

Advice. If, however, you chose the spray can painting method, it is recommended to apply thin layers, keeping the spray can as far as possible from the body part.

Example of painting a rusty part

Let's say that this is the wing of the 15th VAZ model:

• Wash the car completely;
• Get rid of rust by sanding the part with coarse sandpaper and applying a degreaser;
• Restore the geometric dimensions of the part by applying layers of putty.

Attention. If the body part is subject to frequent vibrations, then ordinary putty will not work. You need to choose one with aluminum particles.

Regarding the application of putty:

• It must first be properly diluted with the hardener, doing this in small portions (the mixture dries quickly);
• You need to apply it directly to the surface, remembering that the putty dries for about a quarter of an hour if the room temperature is at least 20 degrees.

We continue the painting stage:

• After the putty has dried, you need to start cleaning (treating the surface with sandpaper until the part becomes smooth);
• We apply the first layer of primer, which will protect the part from corrosion and guarantee the durability of the paintwork.

Note. When choosing a primer, you need to pay attention to its consistency with the color of the car’s paint. So, if the car is painted black, the primer should be of some dark shade; if it is silver, it is advisable to select a light shade.

More on primer:

• It is advisable that it be applied using special equipment and tools (spray gun, compressor, respirator, etc.);
• Before applying primer, it is recommended to cover the car with a special film or, in extreme cases, paper;
• It is advisable to apply the primer in two layers, first degreasing the surfaces.

• After the soil has dried, it must be treated with 800-grit sandpaper;
• We now prepare the room for painting, removing all the dust around with water (we cover all parts of the car except the wing);
• We apply the paint in several layers, leaving each layer to dry for 1 minute (as a rule, after the 3rd layer the wing will already be what it needs);
• We wait for 15 minutes to dry completely, and then coat it with varnish.

Advice. Before applying the varnish, it is recommended to go over the paint with a clean cloth, since the varnish itself is very sensitive to remaining grains of sand (even if they are microscopic).

The varnish is also applied in two layers, allowing it to dry for 2 minutes.

VAZ 2115: technical characteristics

The 15th model has been modernized more than once over the entire production period. From the beginning of 2000, it was produced as the VAZ 21150, the technical characteristics of which were much better.

Dimensional parameters.

Engine

The predecessors were equipped with carburetor four-cylinder engines of 1.1 and 1.3 liters. But after 1999 they were written off, and the fifteenth model received a newer power unit. The VAZ 2111 came off the assembly line with a 1.5-liter engine equipped with distributed injection with a power of 77.8 liters. With.

Since 2007, VAZ 11183 began to be equipped with injection engines with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 80.9 liters. With. Structurally, they were practically no different from the previous version, only the piston stroke changed (from 71 to 75 mm), and the cylinders increased to 82 mm, which led to an increase in volume and power.

The installation of higher power engines made it possible to improve the parameters of the car. The maximum speed reached 170-180 km/h, but the acceleration time to 100 km/h changed little and amounted to 14 s. Average fuel consumption in city mode is 10 liters, but on the highway it does not exceed 5.7 liters.

Transmission and suspension

“Pyatnashka” is a front-wheel drive sedan with a standard five-speed manual transmission. The gearbox has one difficulty: first gear and reverse gear are engaged in the same way, which leads to unpleasant situations, especially when moving backwards.

The chassis is durable and resistant to poor quality road surfaces. This car has earned special love from car owners. The front suspension is a shock absorber strut, the rear suspension is a coil spring. The model is stable on the road, easy to control and unpretentious.

Steering and brake system

The steering has a rack and pinion mechanism and two rods, which have rubber-metal joints on the steering mechanism side and ball joints in the area of ​​the swing arms. The standard steering wheel size is 37 cm (M). The basic configuration does not include an amplifier. The control of the “tag” is considered injury-proof (this is confirmed by motorists who have crash-tested the car) and convenient, thanks to the adjustable angle of the steering column.

The car's braking system is quite simple. The front wheels are equipped with disc mechanisms, and the rear wheels are equipped with drum mechanisms. A working system with diagonal separation of contours is used. One ensures the operation of the front left and rear right mechanisms. The hydraulic drive circuit is responsible for the operation of the opposite pair of brake elements. This ensures high driving safety.

If one circuit fails, the second will be used, which will ensure shutdown with sufficient efficiency. The handbrake has a drive to the brake mechanisms of the rear wheels. The luxury package was complemented by ABC.

Electrical equipment

In addition to the standard generator, battery and starter, cars of this brand in some trim levels were equipped with heated driver and passenger seats, as well as power windows on the front doors. Additional signaling devices (controllers) were built in to inform the driver about certain problems. All additional options could be installed only at the request of the buyer.

Interior

The interior is no different from the VAZ 2114. There is the same two-spoke steering wheel and an identical dashboard with all the necessary sensors and a primitive on-board computer. At the top of the center console there are buttons for turning on the side lights and headlights, heated rear window and, depending on the configuration, fog lights. Below are two air ducts combined into a single unit, then the heater control unit. From the factory there was no talk of any audio system, but the manufacturer provided a standard place for the radio. At the very bottom there is an ashtray and a cigarette lighter (heritage of the VAZ 2109).

In the central tunnel between the front seats there are gear shift and parking brake levers. The glove compartment on the front passenger side is not the most spacious, but it is complemented by a small shelf below. Neither the front nor the rear seats have lateral support and are covered with ordinary fabric material. There is not much space in the back - it is comfortable for two people, but three passengers will have to make room. The fundamental difference from the VAZ 2108 is only in the absence of rear doors.

The steering column is adjustable in only one direction - up or down. There are electronic indicators on the panel; they inform about temperature, total and current mileage. There is an unobtrusive backlight, adjustable in brightness. As standard equipment, there is an electric drive for power windows on the front doors.

Since 2007, a more rigid dashboard has been installed, which, according to engineers, should increase body rigidity and reduce the level of extraneous noise, but in reality this is not the case.

Body geometry of the VAZ 2114: dimensions and features

The geometry of the VAZ 2114 body is determined, as in any other models, by unique control points provided by the automaker. This parameter can be violated not only as a result of an accident, but even if a wheel of a moving car gets into an open hatch or a deep hole.

Body geometry of the VAZ 2114 and its meaning

Violations of the body geometry have certain consequences, which are reflected in the general condition of the car in the following ways:

• Deterioration in controllability and vibration when accelerating (manifests itself at 80 km/h and above).
• Increased tire wear.
• Noise from suspension elements.
• Increased fuel consumption, etc.

The VAZ 2114 has a hatchback body type, for which, however, as for other types (station wagon, sedan, etc.), violation of the geometry affects various parameters.

The symmetry of the wheels is broken, as can be judged by:

• reducing vehicle stability on the highway;
• uneven tire wear.

The diagonals of the body are broken, which is noticeable in the frames of the front/rear windows and in the doorways of the car.

Specific folds may form on the bottom or frame.

The body of the fourteenth model and its features

The fourteenth model can be said to belong to a new class of Russian cars, being as close as possible to foreign cars. At the same time, the VAZ 2114 still remains a people's car. However, if desired, the car owner can tune the car, easily turning it into a stylish sports car that has sweeping body lines and a modern body kit.

The body of this car brand is worth considering separately, since it has a very successful design solution. By analogy with other VAZ models, reliable bolted or welded connections are used to connect body parts. The entire body, including the most inaccessible places, is carefully treated with anticorrosive.

The main difference between the VAZ 2114 body is its faceted shape. It is this that gives the model an attractive appearance. But there is also a drawback - corrosion processes more often affect hollow spaces in the frame. In this regard, we can highlight the front pillars, which suffer quite often in cars of the fourteenth model.

The front fenders of the car can be easily removed. The bumpers are made of plastic, but have additional reinforcement in the form of aluminum beams.

Overall dimensions of the VAZ 2114 body

The overall dimensions of the body 2114 (in mm) have the following values:

• Length – 4122.
• Width – 1650.
• Height – 1402.

If we take into account the fact that this VAZ model has a hatchback body type, then it would not be out of place to note that the luggage compartment is quite spacious (volume 330 liters), and when the rear seats are folded, the total volume reaches 600 liters.

The geometry of the VAZ 2114 body dimensions is an important indicator of the condition of the car

Those drivers who decide to purchase a used car should pay attention to this point.

Changes

Overall, despite some similarities, the 2115 has a significantly more modern design. This was largely due to the presence of bumpers and other external elements made of plastic. All of them help protect the body from minor damage and the negative effects of corrosion.

The most notable innovations in this model are the following:

• additional brake signal installed directly on the spoiler;
• new rear lights;
• highly reliable security system;
• a tailgate sill that allowed the loading height to be reduced;
• more streamlined body geometry;
• door moldings;
• modern electrical equipment.

At the time the design was completed, the VAZ-2115 was a modern and quite beautiful car. At the same time, its interior turned out to be much more comfortable than that of the old models of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. The driver was able to regulate:
