If we talk about the changes that the new restyling version of Lada Kalina 2 was undergone, then this is primarily an appearance that has changed, but at the same time it has become very similar to the front to Lada Grant, which is not surprising in principle, since it is practically related cars. The rear headlights also suffered minor changes, slightly swollen in shape to the bottom.
The changes affected and the cabin, so it will be a new panel of instruments, with the possibility of installing a dual-one magnetic or media system. Installed and new steering wheel, unlike previous versions.

Engine and transmission Lada Kalina 2
The basic version of Lada Kalina will be equipped with a 1.6-liter engine capacity of 87 horsepower, such an engine will be available exclusively with an upgraded mechanical transmission, which received the cable drive of the Japanese company ATSUMITEC. Such boxes (manual transmission) began to put on previously on grants and viburnum, and now they are moving onto the second, the West-winning version of this car. (More in the article "New Generation of MCPP for Lada Grant")
More expensive versions of Kalina 2 will be equipped with a 1.6-liter engine, with a capacity of 98 horsepower. Such an engine will work both with a manual box and with a "automatic" Japanese company Jatco, depending on the selected configuration. The "Automatic" boxes, this firm, began to put the first on the car Lada Grant, and now they are installed on the second generation of viburnum. (More in the article "Lada Grant with Automatom") It should be noted that AvtoVAZ still decided to move 100 strong borders for its cars, launching in a series and version of Kalina 2 with a 108-horsepower and volume of 1, 6 liters. Apparently it will be an alternative solution for the "Sport" version.
5 / 5 ( 1 voice)
The last month of summer in the 2012th year, on the Podium of the automotive salon in Moscow AvtoVAZ, was presented for the general public Hatchback Lada Kalina 2nd generation. If you compare it with the successor, the car was able to save recognizable features, but felt it became better in appearance and internal, as well as from the technical side.
Next year, or rather, on May 16, 2013, the company launched the release of Kalina 2 to the conveyor, and in the summer buyers could already acquire it. It is very funny, but to promote your model, the Russian company chose a little slanging expression: "Lada Kalina is full of minced!". All model range of Lada.
The appearance of a new car significantly transformed, as the main elements of the designer works of modern cars from Europe introduced into it. Much more and brighter now looks like a nasal part of the viburnum, as motorists are slightly tired of a dull type of last generation. The presence of power lines of the hood appeared, which narrow to the radiator grille and create sensations of an expanding trapezium. All this gives the exterior of the machine some sports and aggressive characteristics.
Exterior
The appearance of the second generation of Lada Kalina remained recognizable, but received a more harmonious, pretty and modern finish. The nasal part of the car is decorated with a hood with characteristic ribs, and there is also a stylish lighting with a darkened background and a massive front bumper with a "mouth" of the air intake and chrome decor (top packs are additionally and fog lights).
The head optics in a smooth order goes to a narrow strip of the radiator grille. Mounted ahead of the embossed type bumper with a massive air intake in the center, it has the edge of just fog lights that were covered with chrome-plated "cilia". True, it is worth recognizing that the air intake of this size does not fit perfectly with the general design of Lada Kalina 2.
The streamlined forms of the new car immediately notice. They are not at all similar to those angular forms that were present in the previously produced VAZ models. Due to the smoothed body corners, the aerodynamic component has improved, which made it possible to reduce the noise of the oncoming wind and make a more comfortable movement at high speeds. If you look at the side of the car, there is a slight hood, a little dropping to the back of the roof, large doorways and large wheeled arches.
All this together allows hatchback to have a light and moderately dynamic silhouette. The fact that there is no climbing on the side body parts is filled with the presence of door linings, which give the appearance of the car of some relief against the background of the overall burning of appearance. The arches of the wheels turned out a bit bloated, and thanks to the high road clearance of the hatchback, his solidity feels.
Food Lada Kalina 2 turned out to be compact and has beautiful lights, a neat lid of the luggage compartment and a small bumper with a plastic overlay at the bottom that performs a protective option. As a result, it looks like a domestic novelty is quite well and fresh, and in terms of design design it is selected to foreign cars.
The trunk door decorates a restyled unique optics, which its lower element connects the sidewall and the top of the rear bumper. The new rear bumper received in it a couple of strips of light reflectors on the sides.
Interior
The second generation salon is returned by the presence of modern design and high ergonomic indicators. Also, immediately in the eye, the presence of a massive steering wheel with 3 spokes is thrown, followed by an informative dashboard, which is represented by two shallow "wells" and a modest monochrome scrapbook. To the left of the steering wheel, the location of the light-wave technique was taken away, and under it, the inconspicuous button was set, which is responsible for the opening of the luggage compartment (this solution can be called one of the most important miscalculations on the ergonomic component).
The central console represents the mainly color touchscreen display of the multimedia system, which top covers a small visor. Under it installed the control panel of the musical system, and under it already, there are 3 rotating "pile" climate installation. In general, landing in the hatchback is quite comfortable, partly due to the presence of widely drop-down doors and a large doorway.
Thanks to large mirrors, along with a low windows line, the car provides a good visibility. You can also notice the presence of a box for small things, which placed on the console installed in the center. Increased the volume of the glove box with the shelf for smallers and the holder of the fountain pen.
There are a pair of cupcakes and a pair of niches on the cladding of the floor tunnel, cladding cladding, where there is a folding cupboard, for the speeds seated behind the passengers, the speeds of the instrument panel, the multimedia system with the option Hands Free, the electrical drive of recycling valve, New options for staining the interior, as well as new supports of the shelves of the luggage compartment to increase the loading opening.
It is interesting to look like a climate system, which worked specially for Lada Kalina 2. It has become quite effective than in past cars, and it functions much quieter. The option "Auto" (not on all modifications) is envisaged, which is able to distribute air flows, change the fan rotation speed and control air dampers automatically.
The shofper is just enough to specify the temperature of the car inside the car. For the future, the company wants to equip the multimedia system by the GSM / GLONASS geo navigation module. Many systems were introduced, which are designed to increase the level of comfort in the cabin. For example, there is an adjustment of the steering column along the angle of inclination, steering control with an electric amplifier, air filtration, which enters the salon, combinations of instruments with the flightcomputer options, automatic headlights and the power units.
In general, the Kalina salon himself was collected mainly from the "hard" plastic, and the steering wheel itself is the steering wheel. On the assembly itself, in principle, there are no complaints, however, there are still some shortcomings with which the factory could not cope. In some places you can see the joints, and the screws are displayed at the bottom and are not covered.
If you look at the car from the point of view of the budget hatchback, then it was installed comfortable seats ahead, where there is a soft filling and a large range of settings, and the stock of the free space allows you to conveniently be located even to high people. The sofa installed behind the sofa is quite comfortable for a couple of people, and with a special need can accommodate both three, but free space will only be enough for two.
Feet do not rest in the backrest of seats installed ahead, and free space above your head, also enough. Lady branch from Lada Kalina 2nd generation, about 260 liters. In the form, it is quite comfortable, although the arches of the wheels are "eating" a bit of free space. Rear sofa, if necessary, can be fed entirely in parts, which will result in about 550 liters of useful volume.
For all versions of cars, there is a full-fledged spare wheel, jack and a key-balloon. The lid of the luggage compartment received the electrical lock tool, open which one you can only with the button that is on the left of the steering wheel, or the standard key.
Specifications
Force aggregate
Hatchback Lada Kalina 2nd generation, will go along with one of the three power units operating on gasoline. This is 1.6-liter four-cylinder "Atmospheric". The engine most initial is the engine with the 8-valve system (VAZ-11186), where there is a facilitated rod-piston group of Federal Mogul. It can produce about 87 horses at 5,100 revolutions per minute.
As a binder of a motor with wheels, there is a 5-speed mechanical transmission transmission box with a cable drive, or a 4-EX-Range hydromechanical "JATCO machine". However, independently what will be the gearbox will stand, only an editorial layout is provided for the car.
The first hundred car reaches for 12.2-14.2 seconds, and the maximum speed at 161-168 km / h (where is greater with the mechanical box). In the combined cycle, the engine consumes about 7 - 7.7 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers.
Between them there is a VAZ-21126, a 16-valve gas distribution mechanism with four cylinders located in a row. It can already develop 98 horsepower at 5,600 revolutions per minute. This motor is synchronized only with an automatic gearbox, which allows it to reach a speed mark of 100 km / h for 13.1 seconds, and the maximum speed is already at the level of 175 km / h. By average consumption, the power unit consumes 7.6 liters per 100 km.
Next, there is the most powerful 16 valve VAZ-21127, which was equipped with the newest electron fuel system, reconfigured electronics and put a dynamic supervision. All this allows him to issue 106 horsepower at 5,800 revs / min. From the very beginning, for a similar power unit, only a mechanical transmission was provided, which was able to Hatchback Lada Kalina 2nd generation, pass 100 km / h in 11 seconds, and the maximum speed of which is about 181 km / h. Moreover, the motor consumption is not huge, of all about 6.7 liters per 100 km in average loads.
Chassis
Built Lada Kalina 2 at the VAZ base 2190, which was subjected to serious improvement. The front axle uses an independent scheme with McPherson racks, and the rear part has the presence of a semi-dependent design with screw springs. The steering of the machine is carried out using the built-in electrical steering wheel amplifier produced in Korea. The brake system is represented by ventilated disc brakes ahead, and on the rear wheels there is a drum mechanisms.

Let's sum up
After the yield of the Russian production of the Russian production of Lada Kalina 2nd generation, it is clear that in AvtoVAZ do not want to stand still, and wish to advance, gradually competing with other cars, fitted even from Europe. The overall appearance of the machine has become more fresher, it looks pretty, especially the front, youth, but at the same time stylish. The hood received small firewalls, and the side, or rather the door, have a characteristic molding.
The stern part has enough for the company's characteristic. Moreover, there is a large door with a comfortable opening, which facilitates loading and unloading of goods. The salon is certainly far from perfect, there is plastic of a budget type, although it does not look the cheapest. A standard type instrument panel, although for some reason, there is not enough cooling fluid temperature sensor, a strange solution.
But there is a convenient touch of a small display, control with which is very convenient. Front seats, as for the budget model, have a good upholstery and soft. The rear row can only place two people on themselves comfortably, the third will be able to sit down, but will experience discomfort. Free space in the car is enough.
Summer, hot time. Someone will be remembered by a ride to the resort, for someone it will imperceptibly fly in the work process, and someone will still make him a gift and buy a new car. What kind of car to buy, everyone chooses for himself, but why not stop his attention on a novelty of the domestic car industry - the second generation of hatchback "Lada Kalina"? Consider in more detail than how can this model be pleased with (or disappoint).
Let's start, perhaps, from the history of the car. It will not take too much time, because it has a "Lada Kalina 2" is quite small. The first copy of the viburnum of the second generation came from the conveyor in May 2013, and the first sales began at the end of June. It is noteworthy that among the new models "Kalin" there are no sedans - only universals and hatchbacks.
According to the assertions of the designers and car manufacturers, all its characteristics are improved compared to the previous generation, the disadvantages are fixed, the appearance is not inferior to foreign analogues, and the prices make cars a fairly attractive option for buying domestic consumers. Is it worth believing on the word AvtoVAZ about improved technical characteristics we now and try to figure it out.
Specifications of Lada Kalina 2
The main part of the new Kalin is produced with two variants of the 1.6-liter engine: in the standard assembly, it will have a mechanical gearbox and engines in 87 "horses", in a luxury mechanic and 98 hp. The maximum vehicle speed will be respectively 169 and 179 km / h, and overclocking up to 100 km / h will take 12.4 and 11.6 seconds. In this case, the fuel consumption for any configuration is approximately the same and 7.3 liters are equal to a mixed cycle.
There is also a complete set with MCPP and with a capacity of 108 hp, the maximum speed is 179 km / h, overclocking up to 100 km / h in 11.6 C and the average fuel consumption is about 8 l / 100 km.
There is also a "luxury" version of the car with an automatic transmission (the remaining configuration only with the manual transmission), this option is not very different from the machine with the "mechanics", the engine power is 98 hp, overclocking up to 100 km / h for 13, 8 s.
The carrying capacity of all machines is the same and is 475 kg, and the volume of the trunk is 260 liters.
Well, with the parameters of the car industry, as we see, did not deceive - small improvements (within 10% of the volume and mass of cargo, as well as fuel economy) in Kalina compared to the first version are noticeable.
What's new?
We look further. An old problem with not too high-quality components, added a lot of coins into a piggy bank of the auto repair shops - what did they do with her decision? The most obvious way was to put some parts of foreign production - so, in general, and AvtoVAZ came.
Power supply, generator, cooling system and a few more details on "Kalina 2" are now imported. Let's hope that now the new reviews of the owners of Lada Kalina 2 will not flow the negative about the mass failure of the generators, as happened after the recent "modernization of viburnum".
It would seem that domestic engineers are sampled in their own insolvency, due to the all-permissive use of imported components? Not at all - just the car now has become even more "foreign" (as you know, the design of the car also did not "Russian Ivan", and Briton Steve Mattin).
In the standard machine configuration, a decent multimedia complex appeared with the ability to connect USB devices and even interact with the phone using Bluetooth (while you can use the Hands Free system). And the luxury equipment is supplied with the navigation system.
In addition, in comparison with the previous generation "Kalin", a new car has a more convenient transmission transmission with a cable drive, which has reduced the efforts of the transmission, as well as the longitudinal move and the lever backlash.
Changed to the better and chassis, developed by AvtoVAZ designers together with Renault specialists. The car has become more stable and better manageable.
Advantages and disadvantages
Of the advantages of "Kalina 2" and testers, and new car owners first allocate the original design. Already more than a dozen years it was believed that beautiful cars are made only abroad, and the Russian auto industry lagged behind, at least 10-15 years old, now everything is not so unequivocal.
It is worth noting the increased engine power and other quality of the dashboard with a more convenient location of sensors and scales. The airbag now is even standard. Reliable suspension now has an enlarged resource and the front rack is now much more durable than most of the other domestic cars.
Now about the disadvantages of new viburnum 2. The disadvantages should be attributed, first of all, too noisy and already pretty an outdated eight-cell engine (in the configuration "standard"), then - hydraulic adjustment of the headlights (in other machines it has long been put only electrical adjustment) and the absence On the dashboard of the sensor, showing the temperature of the coolant.
In addition, unfortunately, everything is also "lame" quality of the Russian assembly - some small details can be screwed careless or not tightly tight, and in some copies of auto-tape doors about the body during riding.
Controllability
Handling has become better. Thanks to the steering rack - it became shorter, and the steering wheel can now turn from one stop to another for only 3 turns, and not 4, as before. The steering wheel in a new car is also attached differently. Due to all this, the sensitivity of the control, and the rigidity of the steering system increased. The car reacts faster to the actions of the driver, it became easier to turn around obstacles and irregularities on the roadway.
In addition, it is impossible to not pay attention to the new anti-locking system of the car, which in the configuration "Suite" is also supplemented by the stabilization program. A slightly changed the design of the brake system - part of the details are now imported.
Suspension and chassis
Front pendant "Kalina 2" 2013, compared with the previous model, has a larger cross-sectional stabilizer and changed, for the better, characteristics of shock absorbers and springs. The rear suspension became a little tougher, which lowered the car roll and made it stable on the road. Designers promise to introduce a few more changes in the design of the suspension and chassis to the end of the summer, it remains to hope that it will only benefit the car.
Salon and Comfort
In the cabin of the car you can see a more convenient location of the instruments on the panel, which now looks much better than in the first "Kalina". Now it is more convenient to manage the multimedia system and climate control. Yes, and the air conditioning system itself, which is even in the cheapest versions of the machine, has great functionality, not to mention the configuration "Lux".
The size of the cabin has not changed - however, five people were quite comfortable there before. But the volume of the trunk, although it has become a little more, still not compare with similar parameters of foreign hatch stacks and even standard domestic cars. But still, for several suitcases there is enough space, and buy the car easier to transport potatoes with cottages. The price of this car is no longer such as before.
Package and prices LADA KALINA 2
The standard equipment "Kalina 2" of 2013 will cost a new owner in the amount of 324 thousand rubles, "Norma" - at 341 thousand rubles, and the prices of the Luxe package begin with 408 thousand rubles.
