Already in September this year, sales of a new crossover from a domestic manufacturer - Lada Kalina Cross will begin. This will happen immediately after its premiere at the International Motor Show in Moscow, which will be held at the end of August. However, the first demonstration of the capabilities of the new car took place on June 26, 2014 at a specially organized closed show for AvtoVAZ shareholders (as part of the meeting). The new model was personally presented by the president of the auto concern Bo Andersson.
Lada Kalina Cross 2014
Along with the new Lada Kalina Cross, the Lada 4 × 4 Urban and Lada Largus Cross models were also presented. Their official sales are scheduled to begin in the fall of 2014.
Price Lada Kalina Cross
The approximate price of the crossover is already known. According to preliminary information, the buyer of Lada Kalina Cross will have to pay from 400 to 450 thousand rubles.
Lada Kalina Cross
From a purely technical point of view, the new model from AvtoVAZ should be classified as crossovers rather conditionally. It would be more correct to consider Lada Kalina Cross a universal car with increased ground clearance.
In other words, the new model is nothing more than Lada Kalina, equipped with a whole list of new options and additions:
-elevation increased to 208 mm;
- plastic overlays are installed along the perimeter of the body and on the doors;
-provided metal protection of the gearbox and the engine itself from below;
-installed larger wheels;
-introduced variety to the interior;
-implemented some technical innovations.
Thus, the domestic manufacturer managed to turn the Lada Kalina station wagon into an almost full-fledged crossover. Now let's pay attention to all the new details.
bottom view
It's no secret that the Internet is replete with official photos of the new model Lada Kalina Cross. High-quality shooting allows you to examine and study in detail the body design of the Lada Kalina hatchback, the interior of the cabin and even the bottom of the car, which has been largely transformed. Now there are no protruding elements on it and, most importantly, the engine crankcase is protected by a thick sheet of steel.
Changes to the suspension Kalina Cross
Depending on the degree of congestion of the car, the ground clearance varies from 208 mm (completely empty) to 188 mm (fully loaded). One way or another, progress in this direction is obvious. The crossover's ground clearance is 2.3 cm higher than that of the station wagon. This begs the question: how did the domestic auto industry manage to achieve such significant figures? This really required a lot of changes:
-Installed original shock absorbers filled with gas;
-Reconfigured suspension elements;
-Changed the location of the spring supports.
Thus, the new chassis made it possible to achieve an increase of 16 mm. The remaining 7 mm were won thanks to alloy wheels (tires 195 / 55R15, diameter 15). The wide tires installed in the new model also played an important role. They increased the front and rear wheel track by 4 mm. This, in turn, forced the designers to reduce the steering rack travel by 3.6 mm and achieve an increase in the turning radius to 5.5 meters. For comparison, the station wagon Lada Kalina, this figure is 5.2 meters.
Recall that a new test of the state employee has already been published, you can read it by clicking on the link.
Lada Kalina Cross will pleasantly surprise its buyer with elegant moldings with the Cross lettering on the side doors, black plastic overlays installed on the sills, stylish metal inserts on the bumpers, roof rails and almost off-road clearance. What is missing? Alas, no matter how you ask for a four-wheel drive in such a kit, the AvtoVAZ crossover can only boast of the front one.

Salon
The interior of a budget crossover model from a domestic manufacturer has not undergone significant changes.
Interior trim
Absolutely everything, down to the very last detail, corresponds to the appearance of the salon of the station wagon Lada Kalina. The only thing that has been changed is the color scheme. The manufacturer has added bright orange inserts to the steering wheel, seats, door trim. The new "orange" interior gives a cheerful mood and excellent mood for the whole day.
The manufacturer paid special attention to sound insulation. Now wheel noise is muffled by protective screens installed in the rear wheel arches.
Dashboard Kalina Cross 2014

Lada Kalina Cross, created on the basis of the station wagon Lada Kalina, comes as standard with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with 87 hp. and cable-driven manual transmission. In order to enhance the traction capabilities of the auto gear ratio hl. the designers increased the gearbox pairs to 3.9 (for the original model, this figure is 3.7).

New Lada Kalina Cross became a new word in the development of the Lada model range. It's no secret that many auto manufacturers have pseudo-off-road modifications of conventional models, a distinctive feature of which is the increased ground clearance and a practical plastic body kit in a circle. Plus some differences in the interior and exterior.
Lada Kalina Cross built according to all generally accepted patterns of similar cars. Firstly, the car has new bumpers with special linings, protective plastic is now on the arches, and the same unpainted and rather wide plastic is used as moldings. Of course, a slightly modernized suspension, which allowed to increase the vehicle's ground clearance. All this is intended to make the car adapted for more severe operating conditions outside the city. Although in some cities of Russia the roads are so bad that all of the above is just as welcome there.
As a basis, when creating Kalina Cross, they took Lada Kalina in a station wagon. This car differs from the usual hatchback in a rather roomy trunk, which is very practical. A large trunk is a necessity for hunters, tourists and travelers, it was for them that the car was created. Do not forget about the Kalina Cross roof rails, which allow you to install an additional rack on top of the car. The appearance of the new Lada Kalina Cross look at the photo Further.

Salon Lada Kalina Cross the trailer differs little from the top-end version of the usual Lada Kalina, but it has its own unique elements.

Apparently this should delight the owner in difficult situations and distinguish the Kalina Cross salon from ordinary models. Photo salon Kalina Cross see below.

Several years ago, AvtoVAZ launched the Lada Kalina Cross on the market. Compared to the regular version, it has gone through a deep restyling and never ceases to amaze its fans. Updates have been made to the exterior and interior. The model has received a lot of modern options. At the same time, the technical characteristics, for which this car is so loved, also became a little better.
Appearance
It is immediately noticeable that the manufacturer has increased the ground clearance - the car has become higher. AvtoVAZ decided that the car should fully comply with the crossover. The body was raised due to the new chassis and other wheel disks. By the way, this significantly influenced the design - the car looks more aggressive and powerful. Look at the photo of this car.
The distance between the wheels also increased - this is how the designers gave the car a resemblance to full-size crossovers.
Western manufacturers, restyling their cars, subject all body elements to changes. But AvtoVAZ acted differently. You won't be able to see new optics or other grille here. Domestic designers have changed the appearance of the new crossover due to plastic overlays. The same could be seen on other models.
Plastic overlays on the wheel arches, fitted to the doors, window dividers and the rear bumper. On the tailgate you can see the model name - Cross. Of the additional changes on the roof, larger roof rails are installed along the entire length.
Overall dimensions
Despite the apparent power and aggression, the dimensions of the body are not far from the basic version. Crossover length is 4079 mm, width is 1698 mm. Thanks to the rails, the height has increased to 1561 mm. The wheelbase is 2475 mm. The ground clearance is 21 centimeters.
Interior
If the appearance, even if insignificantly, has changed, the interior for some reason remained intact. The only novelty in the cabin is the colors of some elements.
The usual and usual for Kalina dark finish is now diluted with inserts on the steering wheel, deflectors, on the seats and door cards. It became more pleasant to be inside the car - more cheerful colors added comfort. Some elements of this salon are very reminiscent of Lada Grant.
The trunk of the Lada Kalina Cross has a volume of 355 liters. The rear folds down - this way you can increase the available volume to 669 liters. This is already quite enough to go on an exciting journey - after all, this is a crossover, albeit quite small.
The soundproofing of the cabin has been significantly improved. Now inside you can not hear the roar of the engine, the howling of the gearbox, the noise from the stones from the road. Watch the video from test drives of this car and see for yourself.
Technical data
As the main engine for the Lada Kalina Cross, only one four-cylinder is used, well known to all fans of the model, a 1.6-liter eight-valve engine. and a capacity of 87 hp. This unit is designed to work in conjunction with a five-speed manual transmission. It is ideal for highway driving and urban driving. By the way, as far as automatic transmissions are concerned, the manufacturer did not provide them for this model.
The technical characteristics of the car are quite acceptable considering the engine. So, the car accelerates to 100 km in just 13 seconds. This is a good time for a domestic crossover. With this engine, the maximum possible speed is 165 km / h. In the combined cycle, fuel consumption is only 7 liters. for every hundred kilometers of run.
Later, complete sets with sixteen-valve units for 106 hp appeared. They only work with the AMT box.
Modern equipment
The car has received many useful and interesting options. The equipment is modern. Safety and comfort characteristics have improved significantly.
Two airbags are responsible for safety. Also, the car is equipped with an anti-lock braking system. Depending on the configuration, the model will be equipped with air conditioning or climate system. The front row of seats is heated. Also in the basic configuration there are power windows, central locking and standard alarm system, electric power steering.
Options and prices
The new version of the domestic crossover is presented in two trim levels. This is Norma and Lux. For the initial version, official dealers want from 482 thousand rubles. For a complete set, the price is 546 thousand rubles.
The Lux grade includes a standard immobilizer, airbags, ABS and ESD, daytime running lights, head restraints for rear passengers. Also, cars are equipped with an on-board computer, a system for prompting the moment of gear shifting, electric power steering, power windows for front and rear doors, light and rain sensors. The front seats have a height adjustment function, and the steering column is also set in height.
For a price of 546 thousand rubles, which is offered by official dealers, the buyer gets ample opportunities. The only sad thing is that even in the maximum configuration there is no modern multimedia system - the manufacturer offers to enjoy music using a simple radio tape recorder. But in general, the configurations include everything you need.
At this price, you cannot buy anything better on the primary market now. AvtoVAZ produced a high-quality, and most importantly, a salable model, even though Kalina Cross is still lower in class than its competitor Sandero and Duster. The huge advantage is cost. There are no more offers for such a price tag. As for off-road capability, watch the video of off-road test drives.
