Hi all! I’m writing a review about the first new car I’ve owned; before that I drove a VAZ 2110 for a very long time, for 11 years. Requirements for a new car being purchased, automatic transmission and air conditioning. I was considering the option of buying a used car (Focus, Polo) without taking out a loan, but I couldn’t find anything and chose a new one read review
I took Grant Cross as a second car for the family, as a workhorse. I have a small business in the construction industry, traveling. Sometimes you need to deliver samples or materials. In short, station wagon is my thing. Since I have to drive not only on roads, I chose the “cross” version. Engine rear read review
At the beginning of 2020, my father-in-law decided to sell a 2012 Lada Grant with a hundred thousand mileage and an eight-valve engine. There were practically no problems with the car, but even if something did happen, it was the little things: replacing light bulbs. The rest of the work is according to the regulations. The car was used in a taxi, I love to read the review
The car was purchased on 06/01/2018 in the classic configuration (electric power steering, front windows, light tinted windows, ABS) under the trade-in program (140,000 for my former 2012 grenade + 40,000 discount on a new car). Total cost of the car: 445,600 rubles. I work in a taxi and therefore the machine for work br read review
Since I often operate the car at full load, I chose a Granta station wagon with the most powerful engine available. I used to drive a Lada Kalina with an 8-valve engine, and sometimes it didn’t have enough power. It’s very good that in the new engine, even if the timing belt breaks, the valves have not been encountered since read the review
Reviews from Lada Granta Sport owners
Lada Granta Sport, 2013
Arriving at the dealer, I saw the Lada Granta Sport, and honestly, I liked it. It has a nice body kit, full power accessories, touch-screen music, air conditioning, fog lights, and sound insulation. Inside there are good seats with lateral support, nice leatherette on the steering wheel, gearbox, and handbrake. Alloy wheels 16 inches. 120 hp engine, modified suspension, improved exhaust and basically that’s it. Lada Granta Sport cost 443 thousand rubles at the time of purchase. Minor drawbacks: the brake and gas pedals are very close to each other, the first couple of days there was a slight discomfort, then I got used to it. Shifting reverse gear - at the moment it shifts a little hard, but I think it will work out and everything will be fine. The pads are creaking - the dealer said that they will rub in and everything will disappear, if the creaking remains, then I will replace it at the first maintenance. Of course, if you drive in a vacuum - the windows are closed, the air conditioning and music are playing, you can’t hear anything, but it’s still annoying. On the plus side: I don’t seem to have an ear for music, but I like the music, it’s convenient to configure the central sound point on the screen, on which the sound is focused. It’s very playful compared to regular carts; I press the gas a little and it accelerates quite well. I remember the old “Kalina” - on the highway you press the pedal after 110, and it barely moves, but here at 5 revolutions the roar of the engine is almost inaudible compared to other VAZs, and it picks up speed well (so far I’ve tried up to 160 only on the highway). Handling, good steering wheel, very comfortable and pleasant, informative. I don’t know about others, but in Kalina, when I turned the steering wheel, I knew where the wheels were; in Priora, when I turned the steering wheel, I didn’t know this until I got used to it. Everything in the Lada Granta Sport is just as convenient as in the Kalina. Good interior finishing. VAZ never liked poor seats, especially the standard gray ones. There's good lateral support, firmer seats, and a fairly good riding position. Nice Loganov air ducts - they look nice, although I really don’t like the aluminum inserts; it would be better if they were just black or real aluminum, not Chinese plastic. Large trunk - in autumn and spring all wheels can easily fit when “changing shoes” or 5-6 bags of potatoes. Automatic running lights are a good thing, so you don’t have to turn the low beam “twist”. A nice body kit transforms the Lada Granta Sport and gives it, along with the wheels, a sportier look.
Advantages
: nice appearance. Dynamics compared to other VAZs. Improved salon.
Flaws
: no serious ones.
Lada Granta Sport, 2013
I drove quite a bit, about 350 km, the average consumption according to the computer is 11 liters of 95 (about 60 on the highway and 40 in the city with traffic jams), but with every kilometer the car opens up, and more and more new emotions appear. Mostly positive, but there are also some not entirely pleasant surprises. Already signed up for warranty repairs. The revs fluctuate at idle, the parking sensors are capricious, the seat heating buttons are mixed up (the right one warms the driver’s seat, and the left one warms the passenger’s seat). In general, nothing criminal, adjusted for VAZ. The modernized engine of the Lada Granta Sport is rather weak in the “lower” range, which requires more frequent gear shifts, there is extraneous noise in the gearbox and the air conditioning compressor (I hope it will go away after break-in), the suspension of the Lada Granta Sport is stiff and shakes even on small bumps. It’s inconvenient without reading the coolant temperature; the windows don’t go all the way down, even in the front seats. And all this is covered by the drive that this car gives to its owner. I hope that I will solve all the problems that have arisen and will continue to enjoy my purchase. In the interior of the Lada Granta Sport, of course, everything is made of hard and cheap plastic, but the beauty of this car is not in comfort, which in principle is not found in cars for this money, but in its behavior on the road. It gives you the same feeling that you are driving a good car that you enjoy and want to drive in, what BMW calls “driving pleasure.”
Advantages
: drive. Dynamics. Driving pleasure.
Flaws
: little comfort. Small problems are annoying.

Lada Granta Sport, 2013
I thought for a long time about what kind of car to buy and, after driving a Lada Granta Sport, I realized that this is the car that suits my driving style. While the standard Granta cannot be called very beautiful, the Sport version is a completely different matter. It seems to be the same car, but somehow more massive and pumped up. Perhaps he’s “dabbling” in steroids? Not in this case. New, more voluminous bumpers with a sporty relief, different thresholds, a small wing on the trunk lid and huge 16-inch wheels made in the form of many small spokes - the whole secret lies here. There are also a lot of changes inside the Lada Granta Sport. The architecture of the front panel is still the same, familiar, but now there is a fairly large display in the middle, with touch control capabilities. Below it, just below, are the air conditioning control knobs. The interior trim of the Lada Granta Sport has not changed radically, except that the steering wheel is covered in leather with red stitching, which is present on the gearshift lever and seats. Now a little about the latter: the front seats are made of more pleasant materials, and, most importantly, they are endowed with fairly well-developed lateral support, which does a good job of holding the riders in their arms. Now you can easily “butt heads” with VAZ’s predecessors. After all, the Lada Granta Sport now has a powerful engine, at least by domestic standards. For example, Kalina and Priora, which had the “Sport” nameplate, were such only formally, since they had standard engines. But not here. Thus, for the “civilian version” of the Lada Granta Sport, a 120-horsepower 16-valve engine with 1.6 liters of volume is offered. It is equipped with a manual 5-speed gearbox, thanks to which the “charged” sedan overcomes its first hundred kilometers per hour in 9.5 seconds. At the same time, the most sporty Granta can reach 200 km/h.
Reviews of Lada Granta Sport (2019-2020)
This page contains a list of the latest (new) reviews from owners of Lada Granta Sport (2019-2020), where they describe the advantages and disadvantages (all the pros and cons) of this car.
Granta Sport, mileage 8,200 km.
The pads got used to it at about 1,500 km. The gearbox howls, the props knock, the rear springs sag (even though the trunk is empty), it doesn’t hold the road on the highway after 100 km/h, the light is bad... in general, there are a lot of unpleasant little things that need to be improved.
The light is normal - if adjusted correctly. After 100 km/h the regular Granta holds the road, but after 140-150 km/h problems with taxiing in stock begin.
Guys, help anyone who has encountered this. Or advise where to write.
Granta Sport is new, two months from the showroom. After 100 km/h the steering wheel starts to shake (on original tires and on new winter tires - the same thing). The wheels are balanced perfectly, the camber is perfect.
What is the problem ? in the salon they shrug their shoulders...
For me, too, at “hundreds” the steering wheel shakes a little, but when “more than a hundred and beyond” it disappears... I think this is a tire service - their machines have errors anyway.
These are brake discs and need to be sharpened or replaced.
Run-in testers at the factory push everything they can within the first few kilometers (look at YouTube). And since our metal began to be poured damp, the brake discs overheat and they are driven.
Lada Granta Sport is an aggressive, dynamic, but not a new car
The “charged” Granta was produced from 2013 to 2018 . Now AvtoVAZ is promoting Kalina NFR R1 and Vesta Sport , although the past merits and popularity of Grants pushed the domestic manufacturer to restyling the model. It is assumed that the updated cars will be released in the summer of 2020, but in fact there is only equipment that is at least a year old, and the official website remains absolutely silent regarding Granta Sport sales.
Naturally, the Granta Sport, which went on wide sale, is not a real sports car, but only a good stylization of it . To illustrate: the Granta Sport, which took part in the world touring car championship, had a 320-horsepower engine, and the production model had a 120-horsepower engine. However, a “hot” sedan gives its owner the opportunity to stand out from the crowd of vehicles of the same type, declare his individuality, and implement an active driving style.

Results
I'm happy with the car, not at all disappointed, I don't regret the purchase. The overall impression is not spoiled by either squeaking pads or disgustingly working wipers - I will replace everything soon. The car fully complies with my financial capabilities and criteria, pleasing with its reckless behavior and handling. I don’t want to do anything else with it in terms of tuning. You can get to your destination with proper comfort, which is quite enough for me.
As a bonus, I’ll insert a video review from professionals from Autoreview, where everything is detailed about the filling and so on. That is something that I could have missed.

Wheels, steering, brakes and suspension
Suspension front/rear: independent, MacPherson/semi-independent. Feels tough. Sometimes very tough. What did they do to it to achieve better handling? The wheelbase has been extended. In total, the front and rear suspensions were widened by 20 mm. The figure is small, but coupled with the added degree of inclination of the rear wheels and the reduced ground clearance (up to 140 mm) it turned out to be very effective. Plus different springs, reduced ground clearance and changed shock absorber characteristics.
We were lucky, we managed to grab a Lada Granta Sport on size sixteen forged slick wheels. Nowadays cars are equipped with cast ones, which are also good, but made in China. Yokohama C-drive tires. The tires feel great during acceleration and emergency braking (near Saratov, someone in an SUV quickly drove off the adjacent road and stood rooted to the spot in the middle of the highway). But this is not only the merit of the rubber, the car is equipped with rear disc brakes with a diameter of 240 mm and an emergency braking assistance system, which could not help but help in this situation. The brake pads, apparently, were not the best installed - the wear of the brake disc was noticeable already at the second thousand. But rutting and wet road surfaces are what have a noticeably bad effect on the Yokohama C-drive’s road grip and handling. Noticeable noise appears at a speed of 120 km/h. I would like to add some good words about the steering. I don’t know what exactly they did there, but it allows you to control the car, and not set the direction.
