When will the new Lada Xray crossover be released and what characteristics will it have?

Body size

The overall dimensions of the Lada X-Ray Cross can be confidently called worthy. Here, if desired, not only children, but also adults can sit comfortably in the back. It is worth paying tribute to AvtoVAZ, which still manages to stay afloat by producing competitive products.

Main parameters of the LADA XRAY Cross body:

• number of doors: 5 pieces;
• length: 4171 mm;
• width including mirrors: 1983 mm;
• height with antenna: 1645 mm;
• classic base: 2592 mm.

Width without mirrors 1810 mm. Although it is more correct to take them into account, because often the width indicator is important when maneuvering between other cars. The size of the cabin plays a secondary role, which is critical only for family drivers. Singles do not need to share the salon with a large number of people.

The height has increased by +75 mm compared to the regular XRAY. An impressive figure, taking into account the fact that the price remains affordable for the majority of Russians. In general, everywhere, compared to a regular crossover, there are increases in the body: width +46 mm and length +6 mm.

The dimensions and dimensions of the Lada X-Ray Cross compete with most similar crossovers. Regarding potassium, the front of the car is 1503 mm, the rear is 1546 mm. It’s immediately impossible not to appreciate the outstanding ground clearance – 215 mm. A crossover with such ground clearance will easily give a head start to many:

• Renault Duster: 210 mm;
• Lada 4×4: 205 mm;
• Nissan X-trail: 210 mm.

It is the ground clearance on the LADA XRAY Cross that puts an end to the decision to purchase a car. The “Cross” prefix is ​​justified by its ground clearance of 215 mm.

All motorists who bought a crossover note the practicality of this indicator. For those who live outside the city or who like fishing, they should first of all consider a domestic car for purchase.

Spring suspensions are responsible for ground clearance: independent at the front and semi-independent at the rear. Shock absorbers ensure that the vehicle maintains the highest possible ground clearance for as long as possible.

Disadvantages of the Lada X Ray suspension and first reviews

Since the car has an already proven platform, then one cannot expect any surprising results. And yet, the car is rolling around our open spaces, which means the first breakdowns have begun. Analyzing the problems of the X-Ray owner community, half of the problems will have to be eliminated. Isolated cases of destruction of components caused by defects or poor-quality assembly are not taken into account.

Owners complain about the “wobbly” steering wheel and the “fuzzy zero” when returning the steering wheel. After the technical successes of Vesta, these facts seem to be a significant flaw. But the increased ground clearance should be taken into account. Stabilizer struts, in which there are no hinges and mobility is due to rubber inserts, last about 35,000 km.

The first owners of cars noted the squeaks of rubber products. Now the plant has eliminated some significant deficiencies. Other failures, in the form of failure of a ball joint, support bearing or silent blocks, are considered regulated.

As a result, I would like to note that you should not look for similarities between the X Ray pendant and the Vesta pendant. How can you compare two different designs? Yes, there are common features and they are due to the same type of suspension. But each car has its own components, so we have two completely different models.

Interior, engine and wheels

The trunk size in the standard seat position is 361 liters. You will be a little more pleased with its maximum volume: 1514 liters. Freight transport can be carried out on this crossover. In this case, you will need to fold all the seats, including the passenger seat, at the will of the driver. If you limit yourself to only the second row of seats, then you will have to be content with 1207 liters.

Considering the focus of the Lada X-Ray Cross towards increasing cross-country ability, the trunk looks quite decent. For most city residents, 361 liters is enough for trips to the store and to work. It’s another matter for rural residents seeking to purchase transport for transporting vegetables - LADA XRAY Cross is a slightly different type of transport.

Wheel size: 215/50 R17 (91, H). Given the wide arches, the wheels on the R17 look consistent with the crossover. Most drivers don't even need to try to accommodate larger wheels, which may seem like overkill. This is the case when your car leaves the factory without flaws in the exterior, where every element has already been thought out.

Dimensions of the future SUV

The borrowed dimensions from the Renault Duster will be visible very well. Despite the start of sales in 2022, no one will radically change the external design. Although, given the trends in mechanical engineering, such a step could be an advantage over outdated competitors. The “B0” platform will be redesigned to meet the current requirements of all-wheel drive.

Length and other parameters are identical to the standard Lada X Rey:

• length – 4165 mm;
• width – 1765 mm;
• base – 2592.

The only innovation is the ground clearance. It is enlarged according to 4x4 requirements. Considering the concept presented a couple of years ago, you should count on a height of 200 mm. The exact data on the most important parameter remains classified as secret.

Let's touch on the exterior a little. The Cross model is expected to be announced in a mustard shade, which is the main color for the 2022 line. In combination with a dark body kit made of hard, scratch-resistant plastic, the external design looks harmonious. There are no sharp color changes that distract attention from the overall concept.

Although the body kit performs a protective function, it was installed on the Lada X Ray with the aim of popularizing the new product among young people. Similar thoughts appear after examining the radiator grille painted in the appropriate shade.

The all-consuming black color enhances the premium feel by merging the grille and body kit into one. The standout element is the chrome-plated metal insert of two halves, which are placed on the sides of the license plate and create the X symbol.

all-wheel drive Lada X Ray

The decorative curves of the front door of the car give a slightly sporty look. They are directed with a forward bias to convey swiftness. On the rear doors, the pattern visually lifts the body, making it a real SUV.

The exterior is completed by 17-inch wheels. Absolutely all fans of the Lada X Ray line are waiting for them. Smaller wheels look simply ridiculous among the large arches of the body, which completely destroys the harmony of the lines. AvtoVAZ paid for their absence on the first models with criticism from all motorists.
