We can safely say that the Lada XRAY is a car that is at the junction of classes between a hatchback and compact crossover. It's too big for a hatchback and too small for a crossover.
Together with that ground clearance XRAY is larger than that of the Lada Kalina Cross (183 mm versus 195 mm), it is higher than all hatchback competitors and is ahead of even some crossovers in ground clearance.
Exterior design of Lada XRay 2016
The exterior is similar to Lada style XrayConcept2. The difference is that the serial version does not look as presentable as the concept.
But the company’s design concept is still preserved, and this is the main thing. The attention is drawn to the original front end of the body: stylish head optics with LED DRLs, which is shaped like an irregular quadrangle, a modern false radiator grille with chrome inserts that resemble the letter X, domestic designers adopted this trend from the Lexus RX and new Mitsubishi Outlander 2016, which designed their models this way, as well as a powerful and stylish bumper, which is covered at the bottom with protection for driving in various conditions.
Additional lighting resembles a boomerang in shape. There are X-shaped stampings on the side surfaces, and on the mirrors rear view There are LED turn signal indicators. The windshield is tilted to its maximum.
The window sill line is located higher, and glass is added appearance composure. It’s true that the food turned out to be a little bland, apparently due to the simple lampshades of the overall lighting fixtures, which simply disappeared on the roof pillars. On the roof we can see a canopy with additional lighting. The rear window is dark and has a logo in the middle.
Interior of crossover X Rey 2016-2017
Looking inside, the buyer will easily notice that the product is new domestic auto industry beautiful both outside and inside. The interior of the car not only pleases the eye, but also gives a pleasant feeling from the quality of the materials.
The whole concept of interior design is simplicity and minimalism. All details are simple and clearly arranged. Steering wheel of a brand new crossover Lada XRay 2016 is shaped like a trident.
It is made only from high-quality materials and without unnecessary buttons. The front panel of the car is also laconic, there is no room for frills.
Once inside, you will easily notice that there really are practically no buttons on the panel. But under no circumstances should you think that if there are few buttons, then the machine does not have a wide range of functions. The main control center is now a built-in computer with touch screen, with the help of which all basic operations are carried out.
All the information that the driver needs is displayed on the computer screen, which is very comfortable for the driver. By the way, it’s very convenient that you can quickly hide it and take it out again.
Traditionally, the machine is equipped with high-quality heating and ventilation. Another highlight is the gear shift lever; it is very stylish and original. The front part of the cabin is trimmed with plastic only best quality and in different colors.
The seats are very pleasant to the touch and comfortable to ride, because they are made of leather. Front and back rows separates a small but capacious glove compartment. Three passengers can sit in comfort at the back of the car.
Techni logical Lada characteristics XRAY
The car will receive a front independent suspension and a rear semi-independent torsion beam.

Now it is impossible to talk about the tactical and technical Lada XRAY. Details will be available only after a test drive of X Ray.
Lada engines XRAY
The following power units will be installed under the hood of the Lada X Rey crossover: gasoline engine volume of 1.6 liters with a power of 114 hp, which will also be installed on another new AvtoVAZ product - Lada Vesta and a 1.6-liter engine with 106 hp.
As we see, the engines do not have more power. An urban crossover that is not aimed at working in difficult conditions, the declared “horses” will be quite enough.
In December 2015, AvtoVAZ will produce power unit volume 1.8 liters with a power of 123 hp.
This joint Russian-British development may already please fans of more forced driving. Although today it is too early to talk about a completed line of engines for the Lada XRAY. Over time, it can develop and be replenished even with hybrid power plants.
The engines will be paired with French manual transmissions and “robots” (AMT), in the creation of which the Germans took part.
The packages include the following options: multimedia with a 7-inch display, heated seats, two front airbags, heated side mirrors, heated steering wheel, automatic call system emergency services ERA-GLONASS and directional stability system.

Preliminary price tags have not been announced, but earlier the head of AvtoVAZ, Bo Andersson, stated that in Russia it will be possible to buy a Lada XRay for up to 600 thousand rubles. Of course, the speech is in this case is only about basic version, but still... At the same time, unpleasant jumps in the exchange rate of the national currency once again force experts to change their opinion about possible price"X" in Russia.
Rest technical specifications cross-hatch have not changed.

Thus, we have the following table of prices and configurations of the Lada XRay:
Prices and configurations of Lada XRay
Technical characteristics of Lada XRay
The most economical engine Lada XRay will have a 1.6 liter engine from Nissan, with a total power of 110 hp. (according to the passport, it should develop 114 horses, but due to the new re-flashing of the engine it will produce only 110 horses). The motor is completed manual transmission gears and consumes 6.9 liters per hundred. Accelerates to hundreds in 10.3 seconds.
The native engine from Lada, 1.6 liters, in the stock version will produce 106 horses, consuming 7.5 liters of fuel, and also works with manual transmission. A car with this engine develops one hundred kilometers per hour in 11.9 seconds. A maximum speed The car ends at 170 kilometers per hour.
Third power point, has a volume of 1.8 liters and 122 Horse power, with a consumption of 7.1 liters per hundred. This version of the car already has automatic transmission and accelerates to zero in 10.9 seconds. Maximum speed of this Lada versions XRay is limited to 183 kilometers per hour.
New color scheme Lada car Xray, which went on sale recently, promises to be complemented by all sorts of shades. Most of the colors in which the Lada X-Ray will be produced in the future will have a metallic effect, which is a kind of revolution in Russian automotive production. This approach to the color design of the car body indicates AvtoVAZ’s entry into new level, which will allow him to compete seriously foreign manufacturers with a worldwide reputation. Many new techniques and the use of today's current technologies when painting the Lada X-Ray will be able to impress even the most fastidious buyer.
The Lada Xray body is painted using cataphoresis. The use of this technology makes it possible to make the coating much stronger, and therefore the car owner will receive reliable protection against corrosion for your car, which is significantly better than that of previous Lada models. The use of new technologies when painting Xray will significantly extend the service life of the coating, as well as increase its resistance to corrosion under the influence of various external factors, including weather conditions and physical impact.
You will receive the car in various color shades
The first batch of Lada Xray, which went on sale, has five various colors who were present in previous models AvtoVAZ. However, subsequent batches of X-Ray will be produced in an expanded color palette, which will be able to satisfy the tastes of a wide variety of age categories of buyers. The manufacturer and its new management are not afraid to experiment with colors, this became clear after the sensational solutions that were applied to the Lada Vesta, so we expect many original surprises from X-Ray.
Orange "Fresh" The limited number of colors of the first batch of Lada X-Ray is due to the decision of AvtoVAZ design specialists, who considered that this option would be optimal and most convenient for expanding production in the future.
The first cars received the following color options:
- gray-beige – gray basalt;
- white – glacial;
- black (metallic) – black pearl;
- red – fiery;
- silver beige – platinum;
- brown color – puma;
- orange color – fresh.
The first colors that are included in the Lada X-Ray range are quite diverse and will create a complete choice for buyers at first. And then, as AvtoVAZ plans, new shades will be released, designed to satisfy more refined tastes.
About the original colors of the car
Of the entire list of Xray shades, two of the most original ones should be especially highlighted, these include dark brown color puma and orange fresh.
Dark brown "Puma" - The color of the puma is the most suitable option crossover colors. It is not easily soiled and looks stylish. This color is aimed at the widest consumer audience; it is completely universal and will suit everyone, from young people to retirees.
- Fresh color is bright and catchy youth version Lada X Ray. It is obvious that the target consumer audience of this car is young people and girls who like to emphasize their individuality with catchy shades. This color is experimental and even revolutionary for Russia.
Properties of the coating of the new Lada
Xray painting is carried out in compliance with the latest world standards and rules for its implementation. Thanks to this, the competitiveness of the new Russian car increases significantly and takes AvtoVAZ to a new level. The thickness of the coating applied to X-Ray will range between 75 and 106 microns. This indicator once again emphasizes the high quality of new Russian products.
AvtoVAZ carried out serious work to select the technology for applying paint to the Lada X-Ray and preparing the body for its application. The task was complicated by the Russian climatic conditions, which make specific adjustments to all processes of creating a car. Before painting, Xray goes through the following preparatory steps:
- the metal on which the paint is applied is subject to mandatory galvanization;
- Galvanized metal is carefully treated with wax.
Red "Fire" Enamel is used for painting High Quality, resistant to low and contrast temperatures. The type of coating is selected as carefully as possible for Russian climatic conditions.
How high quality is the coating?
If we compare the thickness paint coating Xray with the coating thickness of other Russian cars, then the answer to this question will become obvious. Let us remind you that the thickness of the paint layer on Xray is 75-160 microns. On the Lada Granta this same figure does not exceed 100 microns, and on the Lada Kalina it does not rise above 90 microns. The only one Russian car, capable of competing with X Ray in this matter is the Lada Vesta.
"Black Pearl" Based on the above figures, we can conclude that the Xray coating will be truly high-quality and reliable. The car can effectively resist corrosion and other negative factors impact environment and Russian weather conditions. The likelihood of chipping will be significantly lower.
Bottom line
Lada Xray has a fairly diverse range of colors that can satisfy the needs of all segments of the population. Certain shades of the Lada crossover are more suitable for young people, others for older age groups. Also, the X Ray color scheme has options that will appeal to women.
February 2016 was marked by the start of sales of a new hatchback from AvtoVAZ - Lada models Xray. Great attention was paid to the exterior of the car, and in order to consolidate its success, the designers needed to choose the right color scheme. And they succeeded! Lada X-Ray in original colors looks fresh and sophisticated, and the unconventional choice of colors will allow the car to stand out from the crowd.
The entire color palette of Lada X-Rey.
Color scheme of Lada X Rey
In the case of the Lada Vesta, the company’s marketers settled on 12 possible colors, but when the hatchback entered the market, they limited themselves to 7. Each shade has its own name and serial number:
- White – “Glacial” (221);
- Fire Red (124);
- Black “metallic” – “Black Pearl” (676);
- Gray-beige – “ Gray basalt"(242);
- Silver beige – “Platinum” (691);
- Dark brown – “Puma” (265);
- Bright orange – “Fresh” (199).

Colors for every taste!
As you can see, AvtoVAZ decided to refrain from painting cars in familiar shades like green or blue. In addition, they also decided not to use extravagant colors, such as “Light”, which is intended for the Lada Vesta. This made it possible not only to limit the color palette to basic, memorable colors, but also to get rid of those that have become familiar on the road.
However, even the existing range guarantees the ability to choose a color for any client. Practical buyers will certainly appreciate “Glacial” and “Platinum”, “Black Pearl” and “Gray Basalt” are perfect for those who value solidity; the female audience will be pleased with the fiery red color scheme, and the extravagant and to the original owners Lada X-Ray will appeal to Puma and Fresh.
"Puma" is one of the most spectacular colors of X Rey.
However, as practice shows, it was “Fresh” and “Puma” that turned out to be the most popular and effective, with the first being offered as a paid option and priced at 19,000 rubles. Not cheap, of course, but the exclusivity is definitely worth it! And in the second color scheme, Lada X-Ray often appeared at exhibitions, car shows and presentations.
RUB 19,900 - and X-Ray “Fresh” will be yours!
However, according to representatives of AvtoVAZ, the company does not intend to limit itself in the future solely to the presented palette. Specific shades are not named, but it is said that the range of Lada X-Ray colors will definitely be expanded.
Paint quality
This is extremely important point, because many people remember how on previous AvtoVAZ models corrosion appeared almost before completion warranty period! But now the Russian auto giant says it is over. It was stated that the most stringent requirements were imposed on the quality of paint on the Lada X-Ray:
- resistance to weather factors - ultraviolet radiation, temperature changes, humidity;
- resistance to mechanical damage– dust, pebbles, etc.
- resistance to aggressive substances - chemicals (salt, etc.), adhering insects, etc.;
- washing - the body should be washed quickly and easily.
Over the past years, the thickness of the paint coating on AvtoVAZ models has gradually increased from 60 to 100 microns. The body of the Lada Xray is covered with a layer 160 microns thick, which corresponds to 90% of foreign cars.
From now on, the thickness of the paintwork on the Lada X-Ray fully meets international standards!
As you can see, the Lada X-Ray is in no way inferior to famous models!
The new Lada X-RAY crossover went on sale in the first quarter of 2016. Concerning color range, then it will include 7 colors.
Surprisingly, the color of a car can tell a lot about its owner. Especially if the driver is a person who has spent more than one year behind the wheel and has changed several models. For example, the color black indicates respectability and weight in society. White is a sign of triumph, celebration and joy of life. For some reason, red is recognized as inherent in women's style. Blue and green are chosen by people who do not want to stand out from the crowd. Gray tones for true practitioners who value style and rigor.
Color range: all colors of the serial Lada XRAY
The first car to roll off the assembly line received new color- “Fresh.” In addition, the manufacturers have provided six more color options for the new Lada car. The entire color range of the body is quite large, and currently there are 7 colors:
- Fire Red number 124;
- Glacial or white number 221;
- Gray basalt number 242;
- Black pearl or black metallic number 676;
- Platinum, or silver beige number 691;
- Puma - dark brown, code 265;
- Fresh - orange, code 199.
Differences from Lada Vesta
So far, X-Ray is inferior to Vesta in the number of colors, he has 7, and Vesta has 12. But new options are already being considered in which the crossover will be able to seriously expand the proposed palette. Vesta is available in the following colors:
- brown metallic;
- dark blue metallic;
- dark green metallic;
- dark burgundy metallic;
- silver beige metallic;
- metallic gray;
- blue-gray metallic;
- white;
- bright yellow;
- metallic red;
- bright blue metallic;
- metallic blue.
The sixth and seventh original XRAY colors: from “Fresh” to “Puma”
Undoubtedly, of all the options, the elite color “Fresh” stands out, which is available as an additional paid option for the package and costs 19,000 rubles. The English translation, which means “freshness,” emphasized the novelty of the implemented project.
Another color was dark brown metallic (265), original for new X-style cars. It was called “Puma” and is somewhat unusual for the Lada paint palette. The car was presented in this color at many exhibitions and presentations.
Body coating thickness
In order for the paint to cover the car body for a long time and reliably, manufacturers have to think and work a lot. After all, coverage is of great importance. It is not only pleasing to the eye. High-quality paint prevents corrosion of metal parts, delays aging and normal wear and tear body The body covering also affects aerodynamics. In addition, it is necessary to obtain a layer that will easily withstand humidity, sunlight, aggressive environments and significant temperature changes. This coating must withstand dust and not be scratched by frequent impacts of small particles that fly onto the surface. high speed while driving. At the same time, the body should be easy to wash and put in proper shape in a short time.
All the above requirements depend on the quality of the paint and the preliminary preparation of the body for painting work. The thickness of the layers is of great importance. Behind last years, AvtoVAZ has done a decent job to obtain high-quality body coating. The main emphasis was placed on achieving the level of European production. Thus, the predecessors of LADA XRay were covered with paint of the following thickness:
- LADA KALINA – 60–90 microns;
- LADA PRIORA – 65–100 microns;
- LADA GRANTA – 90–100 microns.
The Lada X-Ray crossover is covered with a paint layer of 160 microns. More than 90% of the world's manufacturers cover their cars with just such a layer. The new style domestic hatchback strives to be in no way inferior to its competitors, regardless of their names.
Warranty for more than ten years: dream or reality
Having applied new technologies in the production of a high hatchback, Russian automakers did not lose sight of the galvanizing, painting and welding process. These procedures must be carried out directly at the car production site to ensure high quality. According to management's assumptions, the body of the Lada X-Ray can last up to 12 years without additional treatments. This limit is significantly ahead of all previously offered guarantees.
The basis for the longevity of the body is galvanization. This processing method minimizes metal aging and prevents corrosion. AvtoVAZ relatively recently began to use this method of protection on production cars. So far, not all parts of the Lada X-Ray have been subjected to anti-corrosion treatment. Particular attention is paid to the most vulnerable parts of the new crossover. These include: pillars, doors and bottom. This is done in mandatory. The body is coated selectively, but according to the management of AvtoVAZ, soon all Lada cars will receive a 100% galvanized body, which will be made in the factory. This is what will significantly extend the life of each machine. Depending on whether the body is galvanized or not, the price of the car is determined. That's why this moment, of course, will influence the rise in price of cars.
Galvanization
A coating that protects the car body from the environment can be applied in several ways. One of them is thermal or hot. In this case, the zinc alloy covers the car body at a time when it has not yet left the assembly line. At AvtoVAZ this option is used for expensive modifications Frets. Thermal galvanizing creates the most tangible protection that can last for many years.
The second method involves galvanizing individual parts. This is often used on machines mid-spec when it is necessary to maintain a certain price. After all, galvanization significantly adds to the cost of each car. Metal parts are dipped into a bath of zinc solution, where, under the influence of electric current, zinc particles are deposited onto the metal being coated.
There is a third option. This method is widely used in mass production, despite more difficult process. It processes small body parts. Each part is exposed to zinc, iron and manganese salts. The next step is thorough priming. After the preliminary layer is obtained, it is covered with zinc paint, where Special attention paid to the dispersion of zinc. The latter option is not considered full-fledged galvanizing, but it still stops corrosion for a long time.
To the future in everything new
Compact crossover LADA XRay has truly revolutionized the concept of domestic cars B-class. This is not only said original color"Puma" or "Fresh". Lada X Ray has own engine 1.8 liter and an AMT gearbox, which had not previously been used on domestic cars. Minimum equipment"Optima" has so many options that it is beyond the capabilities of more advanced classes. This is indicated by safety systems, from airbags to the most complex electronics. High quality radio tape recorder, central locking with remote control and much more. And at the same time, the prices of Lada X Ray are much more attractive than those of competitors. Equipment with the addition of “Comfort” has air conditioning. The "Top" version boasts multimedia system with navigation, heated windows and seats, LED lights. And all this in the price range from 589 to 723 thousand rubles.
