Lada Kalina station wagon body length

Good day, dear readers and guests of the Otzovik website! We bought a VAZ 219410 Lada Kalina station wagon

in September 2020. And now we have been driving it for 10 months. It's time to write a review about this car, its pros and cons. The mileage is currently 19,000 kilometers. Not a little, because we drive it 40 km to work every day. The overall impression of the car is good. She looks stylish. The latest model is made to look like a foreign car. It doesn't look big, it's neat, but the interior is quite spacious. The trunk is also roomy. The landing is normal, it drives freely on a country road. My husband is an avid fisherman, so we go fishing. My husband is happy)) Beautiful front view. The side mirrors have beautiful lacquered black frames.

Good view of the front glass. Beautiful headlights combined with a high front end. Back view.

And a few more photos of the interior.

Now the general characteristics of the Lada Kalina Station wagon of this configuration, purchased by us. Engine 1.6 liters, 87 hp. With. Our car has driver and front passenger airbags, the rear seats have armrests, ISOFIX mounts are provided for child seats, an immobilizer and security alarm are installed, anti-lock brakes with an auxiliary braking system and an electronic brake force distribution system, which is very important for traffic safety . An on-board computer is installed where you can see the outside air temperature, fuel consumption and remaining fuel, the current time, there are buttons to turn on and off the cruise control function and more. The car has electric power steering and a function for adjusting the height of the front seat belts. An air filter is installed in the cabin. The rear window and side windows were immediately slightly tinted. The front doors have electric windows, and there is also a heated function for the outside mirrors and rear window. And we have air conditioning, and all new Kalina models already have air conditioners installed. A spare steel wheel 14 is also included. All this pleasure cost us 488,500 rubles. Additionally, for an additional fee we purchased original VAZ floor mats for Kalina, seat covers are also original,

additionally protected the body from corrosion and installed a radio – Car radio Pioneer MVH-08UBG – High-quality sound and design). I really like the seat belt height adjustment feature. Previously, on previous cars, the belt was always a little high and personally, the front passenger, got in the way. Now installed conveniently and comfortably. And, of course, air conditioning in the car! With our heat, driving without it was very hot, stuffy and difficult to endure. Now there is a very pleasant atmosphere in the cabin during trips. There were some downsides too. The lock on the glove compartment door inside the cabin is broken. Since the car is under warranty, we are trying to negotiate to have it replaced free of charge. At this stage this is the only negative so far. And I won’t lower my rating for it. We hope that in the future our Kalinka will not let us down and will make us happy)) We had a foreign car Ford, although not new. We were tired of buying expensive spare parts. There was our ten. It was easier with spare parts. Therefore, we decided to opt for a car from a Russian manufacturer, because you need a lot of money for a new good foreign car, but this car is more or less affordable and does not consume a lot of gasoline. Considering everything written above, I recommend paying attention to the new Lada Kalina model. I wish everyone a pleasant shopping experience and thank you for your attention!

Lada Kalina

A 1.6-liter sixteen-valve engine with an adjustable intake develops 106 hp, the gearbox is cable driven, the equipment is... “stuffing,” but not complete: at the time of purchase, more expensive versions had not yet arrived, although we were ready to pay an additional 17,600 rubles and take car at its best. It would be interesting to check the electrically heated windshield, standard parking sensors and light and rain sensors; and the 15-inch alloy wheels look better than ours, which are an inch smaller.

However, even in execution 0, “Kalina” surprised with its wealth of functions. As they said back in the 1990s about “tens”, full power accessories (window and mirror drives), heated seats, foglights... Safety is ensured by two airbags, ABS with braking assistant, and three L-shaped headrests on the rear row seats! There is also climate control - albeit without automatic flow distribution, but independently maintaining the set temperature. Using the standard key, you can not only control the security system, but also remotely raise and lower the windows - just like on a real foreign car!

Exact body dimensions of the Lada Kalina station wagon version

For greater clarity, we suggest you familiarize yourself with the dimensions of the Lada Kalina station wagon by comparing 2 tables.

Lada Kalina I generation

Lada Kalina station wagon, first generation “Standard” equipment

Lada Kalina II generation

Body dimensions of the Lada Kalina station wagon of the second generation

Drawing a conclusion from the above results, we can come to the conclusion that the dimensions of the two generations of the Lada Kalina station wagon are generally identical.

The multimedia system with a 7-inch touchscreen is absolutely space. She doesn’t have a CD drive, and she probably doesn’t need one, since most music and movies are now downloaded from the Internet. I didn’t say anything about films! From a USB drive or SD card, Kalina can play not only photos, but also videos. True, you will have to find in the depths of your home computer the program that we used five years ago to compress video for communicators: the image size should not exceed 320x240 pixels. But, unlike foreign cars, you can watch a film while moving - there is no fool proof here, so the user takes responsibility for driving in a cinema on wheels.

And overall impressions of the car are positive. The front panel with unflattering carbon fiber inserts is monolithic! Like door trims from Granta, which look simple, but minimize the risk of “crickets” appearing. The front seats have a short cushion and a suboptimal backrest profile, but overall it’s much better than you’d expect from a domestic car. It would be better to install them lower, or even better, add height adjustment to the cushion, and reach adjustment to the steering wheel...

Geometric dimensions

If the so-called overall dimensions of the body were presented above, now we will talk about geometric ones. Knowing these dimensions will not only allow you to form an opinion about the car or help you choose, but will also make it possible to carry out professional repairs.

Video on how to take geometric dimensions of a body

The set of distances between certain points of the body, called control points, is called geometry. They are initially installed by the manufacturer at the factory. It is clear that these points provide an ideal, precise position.

To check the compliance of the geometric dimensions of Lada cars, the owner must measure certain distances shown in the photo below.

It also wouldn't hurt to measure these dimensions.

For more detailed information on how to remove the geometric dimensions of the body with your own hands, see the video and photo. You can also read instructions about this in other publications on our site.

Lada Kalina is a budget B-class car developed by AvtoVAZ in 1993. The car received its name, which became a recognizable trademark, in 1998. During the period from 1999 to 2001, modifications were developed in hatchback, sedan and station wagon bodies.

All body and power unit configurations were built using innovative computer technologies and were put into mass production in 2004. On the Internet you can find both positive and negative reviews about the Kalina 1 model; there are also controversial opinions about the carrying capacity parameters and trunk volume of the Lada Kalina station wagon, hatchback and sedan.

Small shoals still showed up. It took a couple of dozen opening and closing cycles for the rear right door lock to stop jamming. The trunk seal will not bend in any way - in order for the lid to close without force, you will have to lift the lock bracket. Although the gear shift mechanism has become better, the lower stages are still engaged with more force than we would like. The generally good sound insulation allows for the hum of budget Kama-217 tires, the howling of the transmission, the clicking of relays when using electrical equipment and the whining of the Korean electric power steering. And when driving at low speeds on an uneven road, an annoying gurgling sound is the windshield washer fluid splashing in the reservoir...

Description of equipment0

The basic configuration of the Novaya Kalina0 does not have the worst set of options. For his money, the buyer receives a car with electric front doors, electric power steering and an airbag for the driver. Many foreign cars offer similar basic configurations for much larger sums.

The “Standard” package also includes an immobilizer, tilt-adjustable steering column, central locking, athermal glass, audio preparation and roof rails. The full list of options can be found in the configuration table.

Of course, the simplest version of the New Kalina station wagon will not be particularly popular, since you can pay several tens of thousands of rubles extra and get a much more equipped car, for example1.

To a buyer who has money - at least borrowed money - for a car of a higher class and one and a half times more expensive, these little things may seem unacceptable. What if you compare it with other state employees? A Renault Sandero in a special series with a 102-horsepower engine and additional options that bring it up to par with our Kalina Lux will cost 496,600 rubles. A similar Hyundai Solaris is 300 rubles more expensive. But, I think, luxury versions of Kalina with fashionable multimedia and light sensors are a response to Chinese models, the bells and whistles of which make a certain category of buyers turn a blind eye to their quality. And the popular “Kalina” is an 87-horsepower 8-valve engine and the “Norma” package for 372,000 rubles. There are the same safety and comfort systems, and the owner will install the radio and CDs to his liking himself.

A new product from AvtoVAZ has appeared on the roads of Russia, and we have become aware of the technical characteristics of the 2013 LADA Kalina 2. It is worth noting that this is actually the same car, which received a new gearbox and updated design.

If you study the data presented in the table in detail, it will become clear that the station wagon is no different from the hatchback in terms of dynamics and equipment. The only difference between the Lada Kalina 2 station wagon and the technical characteristics is that the body is slightly longer.

Otherwise, the technical characteristics of the new Lada Kalina 2nd generation differ only in trim levels. In the luxury version, the buyer receives a 16-valve engine, which is 12 hp more powerful than the 8-valve engine, which has a positive effect on the overall dynamics of the car. However, we should not forget that the luxury version can be equipped with an automatic transmission, which slightly worsens the dynamic characteristics of the new Kalina.

Fuel consumption, judging by official data from AvtoVAZ, is less for a 16-valve power unit compared to an analogue with 8 valves. An automatic transmission competes with a manual transmission only in the extra-urban cycle; in all other cases it consumes more fuel.

A station wagon is on average 25-30 kilograms heavier than a hatchback, but at the same time, it is the station wagon that has the best dynamic performance, although only slightly. Also among the main advantages of the station wagon, it is worth noting the trunk volume of 360 liters, while the hatchback has only 261 liters.

Dimensions of Lada Kalina 2 hatchback

The hatchback car is 191 mm shorter than the station wagon, 4 mm lower, the width has not changed. The interior dimensions also differ, for example, in a hatchback there is less space above the head of the rear passenger, as well as the distance from the knees to the back of the front seat. You can study in more detail the dimensions of the body and interior of the Lada Kalina 2 hatchback in the following diagram:

The trunk volume is 240 liters, with the rear seats folded down it increases to 550 liters. The dimensions of the hatchback trunk are significantly smaller, both in width and length. All sizes presented in the article are taken from the Autoreview website.

Technical characteristics of Kalina-2 – Lada Kalina Blog

According to a message from AvtoVAZ, the new Lada Kalina-2 will first arrive at all Russian car dealerships in the maximum configuration with rich equipment on board in order to show its potential consumers all the functionality and advantages of this model. Also, as previously reported, the new product will be in the price range between Priora and Granta.

The engineers tried to preserve all the currently existing advantages of the Kalina, for example, such as a high seating position, excellent visibility, as well as the famous spaciousness and compactness of the car. But it was important not only to preserve the previous qualities, but also to add new ones, which is what the specialists did. Now the new Kalina 2 has become even more modern and faster, and at the same time more economical.

Table of technical characteristics of the Lada Kalina 2 car

In practice, Japanese automakers decided at the plant not to recreate the entire car, as they say, from scratch, but to make every effort to improve the existing design. So, we will tell you more about all the technical characteristics and innovations of the new Kalina 2 below:

1. New internal combustion engines: and 8-cl. and 16-grade now have lightweight parts, which increases the engine power accordingly. The previous engines, which were famous for their reliability and trouble-free operation, were the 1.6 8-cl. Now they will go into oblivion and cars will not be equipped with them. The only significant disadvantage of the new design is that if the timing belt breaks, the valves meet the pistons and such a meeting threatens car owners with serious consequences. The power of the power units will be from 87 horsepower (VAZ-21116) to 106 hp. (this modification received an adjustable start, which will add not only power at high speeds, but also traction at the bottom).
2. As for the gearbox, now cars of any, even the cheapest configuration, will be equipped with updated cable-driven gearboxes, which will greatly facilitate gear shifting and simplify the design of the transmission.
3. Improved and modernized chassis, namely front and rear suspension. Now it will be supplied by Grants, and in the near future they even promise to introduce it from manufacturers such as Renault.
4. The developers paid special attention to reducing noise both inside and outside the car. Sound insulation materials for the engine compartment began to be used of higher quality with improved characteristics. The floor lining and other interior structures were thoroughly redesigned and soundproofed.
5. The number of high-quality imported components has increased, mainly from German manufacturers such as Bosch and Brose. There will be new power windows and alternators, as well as cooling system parts.
6. The interior ventilation and heater have been improved and now, when the stove is operating, there will be virtually no noise from the fan in the cabin, since new imported ones were installed to replace domestic parts.
7. A short steering rack with a speed of 3.1, which will improve handling and ease of use.
8. Availability of ABS and ESP systems. Moreover, the first option will be in the “standard” configuration, and the second only on “luxury” models.

More detailed data and technical characteristics can be found on the official Lada website.

Features of Lada Kalina

Many car enthusiasts were skeptical about the presentation of the Lada Kalina. It was not easy to convince our people that the domestic auto industry is capable of creating a worthy competitor to foreign analogues. According to some, the new model is just a modified body of the “tens”. Is it really?

It is true that the Lada Kalina and the “ten” have a lot in common. But the desire to make a car that would meet the requirements of the West forced manufacturers to use completely new technologies that had not previously been used in the CIS automotive industry. One of the goals of creating Kalina was to adjust it to the state standards of many European countries.

Lada Kalina is perhaps the first Russian car whose safety complies with EuroNCAP (European Committee for the Assessment of Automotive Safety). The most important parts of the machine are made of steel, which has a sufficient reserve of dynamic resistance. This allows the car to withstand impacts without significant damage.

Anti-corrosion protection, which was improved in Togliatti, allows us to guarantee the successful operation of the car for up to 6 years. 49% of the body is made of galvanization and is treated with a special protective paint. This is 20% higher than the VAZ 2110.

The electrical equipment of the Lada Kalina has been improved with a new generator, new wiring harnesses and sealed connectors. The car's battery is protected by a thermal cover. At the same time, there is enough energy to ignite the engine even in 30-degree frost.

The instruments on the panel have high precision characteristics. Lamp signaling devices have been replaced with modern LED ones. The window control unit, created using new mechanisms and technologies and eliminating the possibility of injury when closing the window, is located on the driver's armrest. The on-board computer is superior to the “tens” analogue.
