Dimensions Lada Vesta in comparison with competitors
In comparison with the closest competitors, foreign cars of class B, Vesta significantly surpasses them in size. For a lower price, you get not only a richer equipped car, but also a larger one. I was surprised by the size of Grants, surprisingly it turned out to be the same width as more expensive models.
HR16DE engine characteristic
Engine
The developers have prepared three variants of engines running on high-quality gasoline, adapted to Euro-5 standards. The volume of each engine is 1.6 liters. AVTOVAZ units are presented in two versions: an 8-valve engine from VAZ-11189 and a 16-valve engine from VAZ-21129. The imported version of the complete set is the brainchild of the Renault-Nissan alliance (HR 16DE) 114 ‑ horsepower engine. Since 2005, this power unit has been used on many models of the alliance, including the NISSAN CENTRA localized at IZHAVTO.
But that's not all. A new 1.8 liter engine will also be installed on WESTA. developed by AVTOVAZ. Its basis is a 123-horsepower engine installed on PRIORA by a company from Togliatti SUPER-AUTO. In the future, the developers are going to bring its power up to 125-130 hp.
Based on what Bo Andersson said, we can conclude that in 2016 LADA VESTA SPORT will appear, which will take part in Russian car competitions. And the engine will have a power output of about 150 hp. Vazovtsy say that it is impractical to install a more powerful one.
Most likely, in the near future, other versions of the complete set of the power unit are also possible. For example, the gas tank already has a dedicated space for the gas valve if the car is converted to gas fuel. The idea is promising, given the rise in fuel prices and the increase in the number of gas stations. A car that runs on liquid fuel or gas today is at the peak of its popularity among car owners.
Transmission
Mechanical
Earlier it was planned to install a manual transmission 2180 developed by AVTOVAZ. But she had one drawback - noise during operation. The engineers could not completely eliminate the problem in the allotted time, so it was decided to use the foreign RENO JHQ manual transmission. In addition to quieter operation, the gearbox also has the advantage of crisp shifting. There are also disadvantages, its price is 3 thousand rubles more.
Robotic
When choosing a car with a 1.8 liter engine. you will have the opportunity to install not only a manual transmission, but also a "robot" developed in conjunction with the German ZF.
5-speed robotic transmission AMT
This is how the AMT handle in the cabin of LADA GRANT looks like
Flaws:
When parked on a hill, the vehicle rolls back. It is necessary to either regulate with gas or put on the handbrake.
Advantages:
the possibility of breakage due to incorrectly engaged gear is excluded, for example, if you turn on the reverse while moving forward;
It is possible to use both manual switching mode and automatic (two in one);
The ability to quickly accelerate as a mechanic, start driving with a slip; KIK-DOWN mode - downshift for better acceleration;
There is no need to apply the brake when changing gear from reverse to forward at speeds up to 5 km / h. This is convenient if you are trying to get stuck when you get stuck;
Fuel consumption 6.5 liters per 100 km in the city and 5.1 liters per 100 km on the highway;
The ability to start driving immediately after starting the engine, including if on the street - 45;
Automatic adjustment to the driving style of each driver - aggressive and calm styles;
Compared to the automatic transmission, a cheaper, simpler and more reliable design has turned out. According to experts, the VAZ gearbox is the best of all the "robots" they have ever driven. The factory even wants to arrange an experiment and find out if there is anything better at all.
Body
The body is made of steel, and such modern materials as composite or aluminum are absent in it due to the economy. And this means that the weight of the car, relative to, for example, PRIORA, has not changed. But VAZ employees say that there was no task to reduce the weight of the car.
First of all, the engineers focused on providing a high level of passive safety, reducing noise, vibration and increasing rigidity. And now they claim that they have coped with the task. According to them, the body of LADA VESTA in torsion is several times stiffer than Prior's. This was achieved through the use of computer modeling, it made it possible to correctly distribute efforts and high-strength alloys. Such achievements give hope that the doors will no longer jam and squint, the plastic will not creak in the cabin, and the handling will become sharper.
Suspension
This prototype uses the suspension available on standard VAZ models. The suspension of modern AVTOVAZ models can be described as follows: front McPherson strut, rear cross beam with increased elastic properties. In fact, the similarities end there.
What's new? The innovations have touched the front module. Its structure is based on a subframe, which allows for greater rigidity and fewer steps during assembly. This approach allows you to reach a new level of vibration and acoustics, to achieve the best characteristics of vehicle handling. In general, the suspension geometry in this version is more perfect.
Bottom steering rack placement is another successful achievement. In the pilot project presented here, the steering rack rods act on the steering of the wheels directly behind the hubs. In modern models of the auto giant, the steering rack rods work in a different way: the wheels turn by the levers at the base of the shock absorber struts. The benefits of the proposed solution are as follows: car driving enters a new, higher quality level.
What do you have to express regret? The automaker followed the path of unification with production models: the electric power steering is located on the steering column, and not integrated into the steering gear.
The anti-roll bar has also undergone changes. The torsion bar began to look completely different, in addition to everything, long struts were added. As a result, the sensitivity has increased by an order of magnitude, and the controllability has improved.
To reduce overall costs and in the interests of unifying the vehicle's equipment, the manufacturer used a Renault-Nissan rear suspension. At the output, we have a transverse beam, which has spaced springs, and is complemented by effective drum-type brakes. Drums again, you say, but engineers have a different look: cheap and angry. In civil driving modes, such brakes are not inferior in efficiency to disc brakes and are better protected from dirt and dust, which means they will last longer.
As for the independent suspension, this option turned out to be too expensive for a budget car, so it had to be abandoned.
The ground clearance of the experimental Vesta model at full load does not differ much from other Lada models and is 171 mm.
It remains to add: the suspensions are distinguished by long-travel characteristics, which is unusual for passenger cars.
Lada Vesta station wagon and hatchback
These body types will have their own chassis settings. At the very least, they will be fitted with other springs, and as a maximum, the ride and control settings will be changed. But there will be no four-wheel drive. In this case, the rear suspension will turn out to be very expensive.
LADA VESTA was created on the new universal platform LADA B, developed by AVTOVAZ independently. 1,184 out of 1,480 nodes are completely unique.
Information from the website of the club of future car owners
The domestic motorist no longer expected any feats from AvtoVAZ in the form of really good cars. However, the designers still managed to surprise even foreign critics with something: the technical characteristics of the new Lada Vesta did not disappoint.
This nuance, coupled with the relatively low prices for the new car offered to the domestic buyer (even in the highest configuration), created a resounding success for the model that had barely left the assembly line. Russian motorists are closely following the development of events, and the designers never tire of surprising: the characteristics of the Lada Vesta sedan promise to be surpassed in the same model, made in the station wagon body.
Available body types
Reviews about the characteristics of Lada Vesta create a pleasant impression. Many motorists have the feeling that this is not about the products of the disgraced AvtoVAZ, but about a solid brand new budget class foreign car.
It should be noted that at this stage the Lada Vesta sedan, whose characteristics have already amazed the public, is the only mass-produced body type. AvtoVAZ's capacities will be ready for the release of this hatchback model by the end of spring 2016, and all kinds of test drives after restyling will take place and will be allowed on sale only by the fall.
The most delicious news is left for last. The technical characteristics of the Lada Vesta station wagon promise to be something qualitatively different and superior to the capabilities of a sedan and a hatchback. Information on the exact indicators of this model is not yet available, however, work on the creation of Vesta of this type is already underway at the concern. It is worth noting that the plant's management promises to make this station wagon a real crossover: the characteristics of the Lada Vesta will fully meet this title. According to experts, one should expect higher fuel consumption and more power of the standard engine feeding the four-wheel drive, as well as an independent soft suspension. In this case, the station wagon risks becoming a real pearl of AvtoVAZ, and such a success can overshadow past failures. Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to find out anything about the characteristics of the Lada Vesta cross, however, the release of the crossover is planned immediately after the hatchback is released.
Dimensions Lada Vesta
The impressive dimensions of the Lada Vesta deserve special attention. Currently, the car is the largest in its class - and this guarantees not only stability on the road, but also space for the driver and passengers, and the presence of a spacious trunk. Of course, the maneuverability in urban conditions suffers somewhat from the large size - however, this nuance is compensated for by the remarkable handling of the model, revealed on the test drive.
The standard body width will be 1,764 mm and the height will be 1,497 mm. In this case, the sedan will be slightly longer than the hatchback: the overall length of the first will be 4410 mm, and the second - 4250 mm. The shorter length of the second type of body, which could negatively affect the size of the trunk, is compensated by the higher height of the rear of the car.
The wheelbase for both the sedan and the hatchback is 2,635 mm and the track width is 1,510 mm. With the given proportions of the wheelbase, the turning radius is only 5.2 meters - this is a fairly good indicator for a car of such impressive dimensions for its class.
The clearance of the model is large enough, but varies depending on the assembly and configuration. As past experience has shown, the characteristics of the Lada Vesta "Sport" (WTCC) will differ from the standard types of city car trim levels: the clearance of the sports model will be significantly lower to ensure greater stability on a flat road and greater downforce of the air flow.
Power characteristics of Lada Vesta
Since the station wagon predicted by the leaders of the Vesta project does not yet have an exact project, it is worth talking about the technical characteristics of the available body types. By the way, they are absolutely identical for both the sedan and the hatchback - the choice of the body type depends solely on the buyer's requirements, aesthetic and practical considerations.
The standard Lada Vesta, the technical characteristics of which will fully meet the harsh realities of Russian roads, will be released with a 1.6-liter sixteen-valve engine with 106 horsepower and a five-speed Euro manual transmission. Modifications will also be available with a smaller eight-valve engine (87 hp) and a similar gearbox with integrated kick-down option. Fortunately, for lovers of automatic transmission, in some "Comfort" trim levels and in all "Lux" trim levels, a robotic gearbox is provided.
Like previous models, Lada Vesta is equipped with a rigid front suspension (MacPherson strut) and a semi-dependent rear suspension with spring damping. This information is true for the sedan and hatchback - the station wagon, according to many experts, will undergo considerable changes here.
The brakes installed on this model are standard. The front wheels are equipped with disc brakes, and the rear wheels are also equipped with drum brakes. This element passed all the tests and passed the necessary crash tests - the braking system became one of the few elements that did not require serious modifications.
Convenience and speed
Lada Vesta by no means began to be considered the most comfortable car in its category - many foreign cars still surpass even the Lux package in terms of their equipment. Another thing is that the ratio of price and characteristics of Lada Vesta cars makes this new brainchild of the AvtoVAZ concern a much more profitable purchase. In its price segment of budget cars, Vesta has no competitors: the price of the standard Classic is a little more than 500 thousand rubles, and the complete Lux package is only a quarter more expensive (625 thousand rubles) with functionality comparable to that of an expensive foreign car.
The dimensions of the trunk are quite impressive. It is very deep and very comfortable, since the wheel arches of the body hardly stand out inside the car. The working volume of the trunk is 450 liters - here Vesta also did not take the championship in its category, however, this figure is quite good.
As for the speed - good news awaits those who like to drive. The technical characteristics of the Lada Vesta quite allow the car to accelerate to 185 km / h, while it develops the 100 km / h mark in just ten and three tenths of a second. For a hatchback, of course, somewhat different aerodynamic conditions apply - however, its speed and acceleration will be quite good for a car in a budget price segment.

The beginning of the implementation of Lada Vesta finally made it possible to find out the exact data on the technical characteristics of the model, which until the last moment were hidden by AvtoVAZ in order to maintain the intrigue and further inflame the imagination of potential customers. However, now we can state with full confidence that a new and very serious player in its segment has entered the market.
Dimensions Lada Vesta
It was not in vain that Bu Inge Andersson said that in terms of size, Lada Vesta will be one of the leaders in the class, which will largely ensure its popularity. So it is, strictly speaking, it is difficult to unambiguously attribute the car to segment B, since it is located at the junction of classes B and C. The length of the sedan is 4,440 mm, with a width of 1,764 mm and a height of 1,497 mm, and this is much more than Hyundai Solaris (4375 mm, 1700 mm and 1470 mm), which is one of the main competitors of the Russian car.
The wheelbase of Lada Vesta is 2,570 mm, and the track of the front and rear wheels is slightly different - 1,495 mm and 1502 mm, respectively. The ground clearance of the novelty is traditionally greater than that of foreign cars and is equal to 171 mm under the crankcase of the power unit, subject to full load, and also 144 mm, subject to changes under the engine mudguard. This, together with the front overhang of the body of 860 mm and the rear overhang of 915 mm, as well as the entry and exit angles of 16.6 ° and 14.2 °, ensures the possibility of confident movement on country roads, which is important for residents of small towns.
The luggage compartment of 480 liters of useful volume is also one of the most capacious in the class, and the payload of 487 kg allows you to take a lot of luggage "on board". The curb and gross weight of Vesta is 1,178 kg and 1,653 kg, respectively. But the distribution of the curb and full weight along the axes is different. In the first case, it is 60/40, and in the second, 52/48. With regard to towing a trailer, for a device equipped with brakes, the permissible mass is 900 kg, and for such, but without brakes, only 450 kg.

Lada Vesta engines
At the moment, Vesta is equipped with three engines, but only two of them were developed by domestic specialists, while the top version was provided by the owner of AvtoVAZ - Alliance Renault Nissan. List of motors:
- VAZ 21116 - 1.6 liters, 8 cl., Power 87 liters. With.;
- VAZ 21127 - 1.6 liters, 16 cl., Power 106 hp;
- HR16DE-H4M - 1.6L 16 cl. with a power of 114 h.p.
Structurally, all engines are the same - identical volume, atmospheric design, 4 cylinders, transverse arrangement, fuel injection system and timing belt drive. The differences are only in the number of valves, settings and some technical features. In addition, all motors have been produced for a long time, which means that they no longer have any kind of "childhood diseases". So the engines are quite reliable by today's standards.
Technical characteristics of Lada Vesta engines.
However, there is evidence of a possible expansion of the motor range. And if earlier these were nothing more than rumors, now the information has been confirmed by the corporate publication of AvtoVAZ. According to the data received, the new power unit will receive a volume of 1.8 liters and an index of 21179. Initially, it will be installed on the X-Ray hatchback, but from October 2016 it will be installed under the hood of Vesta.
Transmissions
In this respect, AvtoVAZ also offers a wide selection. The main gearbox will be a 5-speed "mechanics" installed on other VAZ models. In 2012, it was finalized, some components were replaced in it, supplying Japanese and German parts, reducing the amount of oil poured in and doing other work. As a result, the box is quieter, shifting has become more convenient, and vibration has decreased.
Technical characteristics of gearboxes Lada Vesta.
Lada Vesta will not receive a classic "automatic" machine, which upset many visitors to dealer salons. Its place was taken by a "robot" of the AMT type, due to its low cost in production, created on the basis of a mechanical box bearing the index 2180. Despite the rougher work (small jerks and jerks during switching), the use of components from the world companies ZF and VALEO in it, coupled with less appetite and no need to warm up, provides the "robot" with real chances to become a worthy alternative to automatic transmission.
Weight of Lada Vesta engines and gearboxes.
In addition, Lada Vesta will also receive a variator, which will "migrate" to the domestic sedan from the Japanese model Nissan Tiida. However, there is no more complete information on it yet.
Nominal filling volumes of Lada Vesta (in liters).
Chassis
The Lada Vesta suspension is created according to the usual pattern for the segment. On its front axle, MacPherson struts with a stabilizer will be installed, and at the rear, the designers have “prescribed” a torsion beam.
A MacPherson-type suspension is mounted on the front axle of the Lada Vesta.
Despite the absence of a multi-link system, the test drives carried out noted a decent level of vehicle handling, practically not inferior to the segment leaders - and the Ford Fiesta.
The rear axle of the Lada Vesta has a torsion beam.
Lada Vesta sedan has technical characteristics that allow it to be in no way inferior to imported competitors. The car from AvtoVAZ is equipped with several types of engine with different power and maximum acceleration speed. One of the engines was borrowed from the friendly Renault-Nissan concern, which in itself speaks of the high quality of the product and sets a high bar for the future of the Russian car industry.
Assessing the technical characteristics of the new Russian car, motorists and experts note dramatic changes in the quality of AvtoVAZ products. An opinion is beginning to form that the level of automotive production in Russia has significantly increased. And Lada Vesta played a decisive role in this rise.
Vehicle speed characteristics
The speed indicators of Lada Vesta vary depending on the engine and transmission. Thanks to the powerful internals and good external aerodynamics, the car quickly picks up top speed and has good maneuverability.
Lada Vesta with a manual transmission and a 1.6 liter engine has the following speed indicators:
- accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 11.8 s;
- the maximum speed is 178 km / h.
The new Lada Vesta 1.6 with a robotic gearbox has the following dynamic properties:
- starting acceleration to 100 km / h from zero - 12.8 s;
- the maximum speed that the car is capable of developing is 178 km / h.
The new Lada Vesta on a robotic gearbox is a bit like Grant, but it has received several changes. The car has become heavier by 100 kilograms and has a larger wheel diameter. In this regard, Lada Vesta acquired an increased gear ratio of the main pair. The program control block contains 26 work algorithms. Therefore, the box of a new car from AvtoVAZ can adapt to the individual driving style of each person and change the switching speed. VAZ robotic gearbox surpasses many foreign analogues in terms of comfort and reliability.
When driving, Lada Vesta does not have problems with starting when climbing. The pressure in the braking system is kept for about two seconds, so the driver can safely move his foot from one pedal to another. The car quickly picks up speed up to 100 km and is not much inferior in this indicator to a manual transmission.
Other technical characteristics of Lada Vesta
| Maximum torque | 148/4200 Nm / rev. min |
| permissible maximum weight | 1670 kg |
| Fuel tank volume | 55 liters |
| Steering gear (on all models) | Gear / rail |
| Front spring suspension type | MacPherson strut suspension with anti-roll bar |
| Acceptable tire sizes (minimum and maximum) |
185-65 / R-15 |
| Rear spring suspension type | Suspension semi-independent, spring, levers connected, shock absorbers are guided by gas |
| Gear ratio (applies to all modifications) | 3,9 |
Based on the test results, it was concluded that the manual transmission on the Lada Vesta accelerates more actively than the AMT. Good sensitivity of the checkpoint and clear command execution were noted. The car picks up speed of 100 km / h in about 12 seconds, which is a good indicator.
Fuel consumption
Lada Vesta, equipped with a new VAZ 21129 engine, consumes about ten liters per 100 kilometers during standard city travel. During mixed driving - 7-8 liters per hundred. And on the highway, a car spends about six liters per hundred kilometers.
The new Lada Vesta with a VAZ 21179 engine, which should go on sale in the fall of 2016, will consume about 10 liters of fuel in the urban cycle. The track will take from this car from 6 to 7 liters per hundred, and the mixed cycle - 8 liters.
Lada Vesta with the new H4M-HR16DE engine from Nissan consumes 8 liters when driving around the city. Consumes an average of 6 liters on the combined cycle and 5 to 6 liters on the highway.
Control
According to car owners, the Lada Vesta is well controlled, the steering wheel makes 2.8 turns for a full rotation. The auto has a well balanced feedback. There is no viscosity or heavy handling. AvtoVAZ made sure that Lada Vesta kept a straight line at maximum speed, without deviations.
The VAZ suspension has a high energy content. However, the ride quality of the new car is worse than that of its predecessors.
Dimensions (edit)
The size for Lada Vesta was chosen very outside the box. The car falls under B and C classes at the same time.
- in length it is equal to 4.44 meters;
- wide - 1.76 meters;
- in height - 1.49 meters.
Lada Vesta turned out to be more than one of its direct competitors - Hyndai Solaris. Thus, she seized the initiative in her own hands. Other characteristics include:
- wheelbase - 2570 centimeters;
- rear wheel track - 150 centimeters;
- front wheel track - 149 centimeters;
- clearance under the mudguards - 14.4 centimeters;
- ground clearance under the engine - 17.6 centimeters.
Conclusion
Lada Vesta is deservedly considered the first Russian car, which without remorse can be put in a row and fully compared with the best foreign models. With the arrival of the new management, AvtoVAZ has made significant progress in the production of cars from a technical point of view, as well as in the field of design and visual design.
It was originally planned that Lada Vesta 2017 will receive three gasoline engines: 1.6 liter 16-valve power units 106 h.p.(index - 21129 - at the moment all sedans are produced with such a motor) and 114 h.p.(HR16 is a Nissan engine - according to the latest information, it was abandoned) and a new engine with an index of 21179 in volume 1.8 l. (122 hp) which appeared in the fall of 2016, after its debut on the Lada Xray. All engines belong to the Euro-5 class, the 114-horsepower engine Vesta should have come from the Renault-Nissan alliance.
Motor with a capacity of 106 hp works in tandem with robotic transmission (VAZ development) and with classical mechanics (originally put French Renault JH3, but since October 2016 it was abandoned in favor of the domestic VAZ-21807 due to savings). Even before the release of Vesta, there were rumors about a CVT with a 114 hp engine, but there is no information on it yet.
All trim levels are electric amplifier steering control.
At the start of sales, only a 1.6 (106 hp) engine was initially available, paired with a French manual transmission or a domestic "robot".
Initially it was reported that West with a Nissan 114-strong the engine will be released after the domestic 106 hp, but according to the latest information, the fate of this engine hazy- AvtoVAZ found out that the difference in dynamics between these 1.6 liter engines is minimal. Therefore, Togliatti decided to release a sedan with a more powerful 1.8 l. unit (122 HP) which is now also installed on Xray. Initially, cars are only paired with a "robot".
On Vesta, in addition to other systems, an anti-slip system is also installed, but it is disconnectable and does not fit in snow or mud, unlike the Lada Xray (X Ray's traction control system was disabled in the fall of 2016).
