Design
The car looks very impressive. If you remove the brand emblem from the radiator grill, the Lada Kalina can really be confused with a foreign car. Especially in the Lime color. Although the platform that served as the basis for the car is entirely a Russian development. Body dimensions have remained virtually unchanged for more than 10 years. If we consider the Lada Kalina hatchback, its length is 385 cm, width – 170, height – 1500. In the station wagon body, the car has “gained weight” by 19 centimeters. In this case, the curb weight of the car is 1100 kilograms.
Those who prioritize a large trunk volume should pay attention to the station wagon. The hatchback is already a more youthful version. It looks very dynamic, especially on alloy wheels. But they only come as a complete set. The ground clearance of the car is 16 and 18 centimeters for the hatchback and station wagon, respectively. The short wheelbase makes it easy to maneuver in traffic and to park without any problems if there are no free spaces.
The design of the car turned out to be very modern. And although only the bumper, grille and headlights are among the changes, the updated Lada Kalina 2016 looks much more impressive than its predecessor. The optics deserve special attention. The headlights here are lensed, and in the bumper, in addition to fog lights, there are daytime running lights. They come already in the basic configuration. Arches and moldings can be in body color.
By the way, the arches have become more muscular compared to the previous Kalina. It would seem that 15 inches is enough for such a car (meaning the wheels). But even they look small on the 65 tire profile. This gives the future owner great potential for tuning. But there is also a “Sport” modification. There are already 16-inch cast, spoked wheels. They look very impressive.

Interior
So let's move inside the car. Thanks to the wide-opening doors, getting into the car is very comfortable. The seats have good lateral support and are moderately hard. The ceiling height is enough for even a two-meter driver to sit behind the wheel.
The instrument panel is built according to all European canons. It is worth noting the convenient location of the buttons on the center console and steering column switches. The Lada Kalina 2016 is fully equipped with a multimedia system with a large touch screen in the middle. The salon is very cozy. Visibility of the car is excellent. The finishing materials are made well. They do not rattle when moving, as was the case in the first versions of Kalina.
Gas tank volume
According to the manufacturer's manual, all Lada Kalina cars in various modifications have the same gas tanks with a capacity of 50 liters.
However, many car owners very often ask this question - why doesn’t the gas tank contain all 50 liters?!
The answer to this question is quite simple! For Lada Kalina cars of any modification, the engine filling volume is about 43-45 liters, and 50 liters is an indicator of the total volume, since the remaining 4-5 liters are system fuel, and figures of 1-2 liters may be error figures in the manufacture of the gas tank. The gas tank on the station wagon is the same.
Fuel tank inspection
The worst case scenario is that the gas tank is clogged and a mixture of sand, dirt and sediment has formed at the bottom. Then you need to clean the fuel tank.
Why do they fill more?
It should be remembered that the volume of liquid can vary depending on ambient pressure and temperature. Plus 2 liters in the fuel line - this is if the tank is completely dry. But if instead of 50 liters you were filled with 55, then this is already a reason to doubt the correct operation of the “release mechanism” at the fuel station.
Technical part
There are three types of power units for this car. All of them are gasoline. The weakest in the line is the 1.5-liter eight-valve engine with 80 horsepower, which migrated here from the “tens”. Despite such low power, this unit is capable of accelerating the car to 170 kilometers per hour. The engine is designed to meet Euro-3 emission standards. Torque is 120 Nm.
Next in the line is an in-line four-cylinder unit with 89 horsepower. Despite such a small displacement of 1400 cubic meters, the engineers managed to get 127 Nm of torque from this engine. The car takes the first hundred faster than the previous one, but at maximum speed it lags behind by 5 kilometers per hour. Thanks to the use of distributed injection, engineers managed to reduce consumption to 7 liters per 100 kilometers in mixed operating mode.
And our line is completed by a 98-horsepower gasoline unit with a volume of 1599 cubic meters. This is a gearbox with an in-line arrangement of cylinders. There are four of them here, as in other modifications. The peak torque of the unit is 145 Nm, which is an order of magnitude higher than that of the 80-horsepower engine. The maximum speed of the car is 190 kilometers per hour. Despite the large volume, the fuel consumption of this engine is not much different from its predecessors. In average mode, Lada Kalina 1.6 consumes 7.2 liters per hundred kilometers.
If we consider the transmission, Kalina uses two types of gearboxes. The first is the familiar “mechanics”, and the second is a robotic AMT. It was developed jointly with German engineers. The mechanics have hardly changed over the 12 years of its existence. But a few years ago, AvtoVAZ engineers switched to a cable drive. This made it possible to reduce the wear of rubbing parts and increase the service life of the box as a whole. The gears no longer “walk” as before, but you can turn them on with two fingers. This is a great success. Finally, the car began to meet European standards. But the developers did not decide to stop there.

The oil is characterized by good cleaning characteristics and is capable of maintaining its original viscosity and fluidity for a long time.
Safety
The serial Lada Kalina was modified not only in the technical part. A beautiful and dynamic car must meet all safety standards. So, AvtoVAZ engineers modified the car body by installing additional bars in the doors. This saves your chances in a side collision. The frame itself is made of stronger sheets of steel. They did not forget about active safety. Thus, already in the basic configuration, the car is equipped with a brake force distribution system and directional stability stabilization.
The latter was developed and implemented thanks to close cooperation with. Now the car has become more maneuverable and predictable to drive. And since the laws of the Russian Federation do not allow driving a car without DRLs, they are already included “in the database.” Belts with pretensioners are equipped with electronic sensors that will sound an alarm if the driver is not fastened and begins to drive. And the red light on the instrument panel will light up. There are also airbags here. There are two of them - front ones for the driver and front passenger. Unfortunately, there are no side ones even in the top version.
Equipment Standard
This is the basic version of the hatchback. It offers an on-board computer, child seat mounts, ABS, EBD, and electric power steering. There is no radio here - only audio preparation. The front windows are equipped with an electric drive. The side mirrors are manually adjustable. The wheels here are 14 inches, with decorative caps. There is a full-size spare wheel. There is no air conditioning. The gearbox is a five-speed manual only. You can buy a Lada Kalina 2020 in the Standard configuration for 386 thousand rubles.
Norma Classic
This package also includes air conditioning, heated mirrors and central locking. The wheels here are still the same, 14 inches. The cost of this version from an official dealer is 420 thousand rubles.
This is the maximum configuration of the Lada Kalina 2020. This includes a second airbag, fog lights (lensed), alarm, central locking, immobilizer with remote control, and a light sensor. There are parking sensors, heated rear and windshields, power mirrors and an audio system with radio. Unfortunately, this version does not have a touch screen on the panel. The cost of the Lux modification is 486 thousand rubles.
Fuel tank volume on Lada Kalina: gas tank volume
Car: Lada Kalina. Asked by: Abramov Kirill. The essence of the question: What is the volume of the gas tank on the Lada Kalina?
Good afternoon, Can you please tell me what is the volume of the gas tank on the Lada Kalina? I really want to know what is the maximum amount of gasoline that can fit in my car, because the passport says 50 liters, but in fact about 45 fits?!
Gas tank volume
According to the manufacturer's manual, all Lada Kalina cars in various modifications have the same gas tanks with a capacity of 50 liters.
However, many car owners very often ask this question - why doesn’t the gas tank contain all 50 liters?!
The following two tabs change content below.
I own a Renault Megane 2, before that there were Citroens and Peugeots. I work in the service area of a dealership, so I know the car inside and out. You can always contact me for advice.
The answer to this question is quite simple! For Lada Kalina cars of any modification, the engine filling volume is about 43-45 liters, and 50 liters is an indicator of the total volume, since the remaining 4-5 liters are system fuel, and figures of 1-2 liters may be error figures in the manufacture of the gas tank.

conclusions
When your warning light comes on, you can safely fill in 35-37 liters of gasoline and not worry about the excess overflowing.
Design of Lada Kalina 2 in luxury configuration
The external design of the Lada Kalina 2 has become much more strict - this is how the car is perceived thanks to the lines of the hood and wings, new wheel arches, updated bumpers with powerful fog lights, tailgates, and smaller side windows. The front optics acquired more menacing features - a clear “cut” of the headlights, fog lights equipped with a shiny edging. The headlights have daytime running lights. All cars will have roof rails for station wagons, as well as side moldings for luxury models. Powerful alloy wheels of size R14 will complement the overall picture. All this harmoniously fits into the new image of the restyled Kalina.
The machine is already installed on Kalina’s brother, the Lada Granta, so we hope for smooth operation of the machine on the new Kalina

Updated interior of the “luxury” Kalina 2
The interior has become even more modern, and first of all, the changes affected the instrument panel, which has become more convenient and respectable. The new Lada Kalina received updated original seats with a more developed profile. The luxury package is equipped with a device for adjusting the driver's seat height. The range of longitudinal adjustment of the seats has increased by 20 mm - the forward travel has increased, which is very convenient for short drivers. The quick transformation of the seats into a resting position is now ensured by an ingenious mechanism that adjusts the tilt of the front seat backrest. The rear seats in the luxury package are now separate and have an ISOFIX child seat mounting system; the front seats are equipped with a heating system with a thermostat.
The glove compartment of the updated Lada Kalina has become significantly more spacious, and an additional glove box with a lid has appeared in the “luxury” configuration. Front passengers (particularly female passengers) will be pleased with the presence of a mirror in the sun visor. Owners of the second-generation “luxury” Kalina will have access to L-shaped rear seat headrests, an ashtray and cigarette lighter, a container for glasses and a cargo net in the trunk (for station wagon bodies).
Powerful and safe Lada Kalina 2 “lux”
Lada Kalina 2 in the “luxury” configuration will now be equipped with a new cable “mechanics” and a JATCO automatic transmission, which is now installed not only on Lada Granta cars, but also on Japanese Nissans.
The new Kalina has updated suspension settings: the caster is increased, the rear beam has a negative camber, the steering rack is shortened, its gear ratio is 3.1. AVTOVAZ, together with the Renault-Nissan alliance, developed shock absorbers, silent blocks and springs for the Kalina 2, which have new settings that are responsible for improved stability and controllability. The new rigid steering rack mount enhances the sharpness of control of the Kalina 2.
Lada Kalina 2 in the “luxury” configuration has not only a driver’s airbag, which is already present in the base model, but also a front passenger airbag, as well as side airbags. The luxury version is equipped with ABS with emergency braking assist. All trim levels have the ability to adjust the height of the front seat belts, and the Luxury trim level is also equipped with seat belt pretensioners. The car fully complies with current European and domestic standards for passive safety.
Differences between Lada Kalina 2 (VAZ 2192, 2194) and Kalina (VAZ 1117, 1118 and 1119)
Comparing “Kalina 2” with its predecessor should start with history. Cars under the Lada Kalina brand have been produced since 2004. The first to roll off the assembly line were sedan-type cars (VAZ-1118), two years later mass production of hatchbacks (VAZ-1119) was launched, and a year later the “berry” family was replenished with a station wagon (VAZ-1117). In general, Lada Kalina cars turned out to be quite popular and in 2009 they even took fourth place in the ranking of the best-selling cars in Russia.
However, every year the obsolescence of the Lada Kalina became more and more obvious. A replacement was needed, and in 2011 the four-door Kalina gave way on the assembly line to the new budget Lada Granta sedan, built on the same platform. In 2013, successors also appeared for the hatchback and station wagon, while they retained the name Lada Kalina, receiving the prefix “2” to their name.
Considering the external differences of the Lada Kalina 2 , it is better to perceive it not as a new generation car, but as a deep restyling of the original model. The station wagon and hatchback were based on the platform of the first Kalina, albeit supplemented with a number of new technical solutions. As a result, the external differences between the Lada Kalina 2 and older cars are not so striking. Only the front part of the body underwent significant changes, while at the rear there were not very many design innovations. In profile, the car looks just like the original Lada Kalina, except for the new alloy wheels and wide wings. However, even this was enough to significantly improve and modernize the appearance of the car.
Inside, the difference between Kalina 2 and the previous car is much more noticeable. The interior now features a redesigned, more attractive central console and an air conditioning system with automatic fan mode. The Kalina 2 radio has a touch screen, USB and SD connectors, as well as support for video playback. The list of options has expanded significantly, and a driver airbag and ABS are included in the basic package.
However, AvtoVAZ still has work to do. The layout of the cabin cannot be called particularly comfortable, and the lack of adjustment of the steering wheel for reach and height of the driver's seat only aggravates the situation. The chairs themselves are also not very good - their cushion is short, and lateral support is almost not expressed.
The technical characteristics of Kalina 2 have not changed dramatically. Buyers still have access to an eight-valve 1.6-liter engine with an output of 87 horsepower and a modified 16-valve unit of the same volume, which now develops an output of 106 horsepower. 1.4-liter engines are no longer installed on the car, but today you can buy a Kalina 2 with an automatic transmission, previously tested on the Lada Granta. The archaic four-speed Jatco AY-K3 automatic transmission is installed on the Kalina with a 98 horsepower engine, also borrowed from Granta. Despite not the most modern design, the automatic transmission behaves well in urban conditions, and only on the highway its shortcomings begin to appear. In particular, the dynamics at speeds of 80-120 kilometers per hour are quite sluggish, which makes overtaking difficult.
Another important difference between the Lada Kalina 2 and previous cars is the chassis . To a large extent, it is copied from the many times mentioned Lada Granta, but reconfigured in accordance with the features of the Kalina. The changes benefited the model: the car began to respond more clearly to steering turns, including microsteering, directional stability improved and, in general, the car became more pleasant to drive.
When comparing Kalina 2 with its predecessor, one cannot help but mention the prices. The updated Lada Kalina in a hatchback body in the Standard configuration costs 321.5 thousand rubles, while the original Kalina in a similar configuration costs buyers 311.7 thousand rubles (recommended prices).
On this site you will find many instructions (photo reports) on repairs, tuning and modifications not only of the new Kalina, but also of other LADA cars.
Additional options for ease of use of Kalina 2 in the “luxury” configuration
Power steering and the ability to adjust the steering column are available on absolutely all vehicle trim levels. In the “luxury” configuration, the car will be equipped with central locking with remote control and a folding key, automatic door closers, electric windows not only for the front but also for the rear doors, a heated windshield, heated electric rear-view mirrors, exterior anti-dazzle mirrors in body color, and climate control. As additional options, the maximum configuration of the Lada Kalina 2 can be equipped with parking sensors, a rain sensor and auto-on headlights, a stability control system, as well as R15 size wheels.
Owners of the “luxury” Kalina 2 will be pleased with a powerful 2-Din multimedia system with a large seven-inch display and FM support, equipped with a USB module and a slot for SD memory cards. As an additional option, at the request of the owner, the device is equipped with a GPS navigation system.
