Lada-Largus-Cross: review, specifications, description

When design does not really matter, andthe clearance inherent in SUVs is, like the cabin for seven passengers, a huge trunk can be purchased at an affordable price, then this is what all Russian citizens dream of.

After all, as it happens - in winter life stops.At this time, a typical Russian resident of a small town reads newspapers, watching TV, perhaps growing seedlings. But this man will not go to the dacha in the winter. And there are only two reasons for this.

lergus cross review
Either the country house was not warmed up, or roads had stopped. Recently, AvtoVAZ presented to the entire automotive public a new "Largus". And now the Russian summer owner can not be afraid of bad roads.

The first sales began in February 2015.In this model, the developers fully took into account all requirements, as well as the wishes of motorists of our country. The car became interesting not only to summer residents, but also to those who like to travel by car. Having a car in the garage, you can forget about the problems of roads and their absence.

Among the competitors to the car "VAZ-Largus" forsuch a democratic value only "Kalina-Cross" and several Chinese models. But the fact is that the Chinese do not shine with their reputation. So it's worth considering this crossover.

Marketing course

Probably, the popularity of this machine in the universalinterest in cars that have the characteristics of SUVs. Statistics on sales also show that people are much more willing to buy exactly those models that are in the segment of crossovers and cars with increased cross-country ability.

This trend was sensed and marketing specialistsVolga Automobile Plant. "Crossover" it was "VAZ-Largus" decided not just. By the time when the model was supposed to be presented to the general public, Largus was the most popular among the entire model range of the manufacturer. Among all universals well sold in our country, it was Largus who was the leader. Such a popularity wagon received thanks to the army of profile automobile publications and forums on the Internet, where more than once discussed the merits of Logan in a new guise.

The new "Largus" became really one of the mostsuccessful representatives from the entire modern model range. The body wagon allowed to provide the car with good capacity. Under the emblem of the domestic manufacturer lies a reliable and already well-tested construction from the French. The management of AvtoVAZ thus immediately killed two birds with one stone. On the automotive market came the domestic wagon, in the reliability of which you can not doubt. On the car "Lada-Largus-Cross" the price is from 600 000 rubles. It is quite affordable for many residents of our country. On the wave of great success of the ordinary "Largus" decided to give the car the elements and functions of the SUV and further increase the interest and demand.

Appearance

Car reviews always pay attention toappearance and design. Only a cursory glance is enough to note something bestial in the exterior. Even the name seems to have been written out of zoological reference books. Characteristic features now appeared in appearance. But first things first.

If you forget the noisy and beautiful presentation of thisnovelties and all the good things that were said in the direction of the crossover by the company's management, a small test ("Largus Cross") rather disappointed than confirmed the joy and delight of the development engineers.

Producers promised very much.The body of the station wagon was to be substantially modified. But in the end, all the improvements that were supposed to add to the car the potential of an SUV are the black plastic covers that were put on the front and rear bumpers. Also, the thresholds and wheel arches were painted black, and the frames of the door and the body pillar were also covered with a black film.

The only upgrade is an increased ground clearance. On the universal crossover, it is now 170 mm. Also modified and reconfigured the suspension for working outside roads and asphalt.

Complement the appearance of alloy wheelsdiameter of 16 ", as well as rubber of increased size. At the very same AvtoVAZ set of plastic elements called "aggressive design." Now motorists and owners will have to live with it somehow.

It is a pity only it is not known, in what this thisaggression, created on the basis of black unpainted plastic. Representatives of the manufacturer could not explain this, especially since there are no special outstanding possibilities for plastics, as well as a weather cloth.

In general, the crossover is French-Romanianhit Logan MCV from 2006, but with new bumpers and another radiator grille. In appearance, there is not a single gram of any kind of aggression. On the contrary, the appearance is completely utilitarian.

A slightly angular and heavy rear end,vertical racks and trunk doors give the car the look of a commercial bus. Simple optics, flat and flat roof, primitive handles and mirrors - that's what completes the review of the exterior is not the most elegant and elegant car. But some rudeness is still useful for a new SUV.

Salon interior

Hardly having got into interior, at once you see, that anythingglobal in the interior is not changed. The driver's seat is still as convenient, and also able to keep drivers of all sizes and builds in themselves. In some configurations, the chair can have adjustable lumbar support and a steering column with settings in the vertical plane. To set the position of the seat, you can use simple adjustments.

High landing allowed to improve the survey. So, when you sit in the front seat, the review is almost perfect. Even the very wide front posts do not interfere with the road situation.

Front panel, as, indeed, and electronicequipment, remained the same. Among the features can be distinguished horn. It is installed in French, but for Russian it is a bit unusual. Its button is now at the butt of the right paddle switch.

Finishing Features

As for the features that are only innew interior of the crossover, these are leather inserts made of orange leather. These elements designers have designed the backs of the front seats. Also inserts can be found in the shoulder area. Decorative stitch and a cage of the same orange color decorates all the seats. In addition, the bright leather also trimmed the center console and door trim. What designers thought about, it is difficult to understand. But they still managed to revive the interior of the car "Largus-Cross" a little. Feedback on this from motorists in general is positive. Although this machine is not purchased because of the interior trim.

Space

That's what, and there is a lot of free space in the 7-seater version.
In general, it is capacity and a large volume - one of the advantages that provide high demand for this universal with the functions of an SUV. Places suffice abundantly in all directions.

On the second row of seats with great comfortwill accommodate three passengers. At the same time landing will not just be convenient. Passengers will not interfere with each other. If you install additional seats in the third row, then add two more places where even tall passengers can freely sit. But these chairs are located above the axis. Therefore, those who sit will feel the road "on themselves."

Trunk

Like the standard version, "Largus Cross"The 7-seater can easily transform from a comfortable car for passengers with a 200-liter boot into a small commercial vehicle. As a result, there will be only two seats in front and 2500 cu. / M for the carriage of cargo.

The transformation process is simple and fast. Conveniently, different doors with locks are installed at the back. This greatly facilitates the process of loading and unloading.

Ergonomics and equipment

"Largus Cross" is based on the maximumcomplete sets of the usual "Largus". And this version is very rich. At an affordable price, the future owner will receive air conditioning, dual airbags, leather-trimmed steering wheel, heated front seats. Mirrors have electric adjustment function. Also, the machine is equipped with a well-sounding audio system. On the roof there are rails. There are ABS and alloy wheels. This is almost perfect. Everything is necessary here, but there is nothing superfluous.

If we talk about ergonomic characteristics,here everything is ambiguous. If you ask the owners about the minor flaws of the Largus-Cross, the review would be about a short driver's seat cushion, a non-optimal backrest profile, weak lateral support, and a cargo fit.

Also, the owners write that special space onthere is no second and third rows. In addition to all this, many did not like the new location of the horn button, power window controls, which are now located on the center console.

But this stuff.If you ask about the merits of the owners of the car "Largus-Cross", the review will be different. So, the car attracts with a comfortable steering wheel, a well-functioning gearbox, perfectly readable instruments, a large cargo area when folding seats. Also, many are pleased with the low loading height and rear gate. By the way, they open up to as much as 180 degrees.

"Largus Cross": technical characteristics

Only one unit was allocated for this car.The designers decided to use a 4-cylinder gasoline engine of 1.6 liters. The engine is equipped with 16 valves, timing and distributed fuel injection. The maximum possible power that this unit is capable of is 105 liters. with., but for this it is necessary to spin the engine to 3750 rpm.

Together with the power unit Avtovazovtsy installedvirtually no alternative five-speed manual gearbox. The “ensemble” of their engine and gearbox allows the car to pick up speed up to 165 km / h. In this case, the car can accelerate to 100 km in 13 seconds.

Fuel consumption in the city will be about 12 l / 100 km. On the highway, the engine consumes about 7.5 liters.

But with all this, one should take into account the cost of the Lada-Largus Cross car. The price starts from 518,000 rubles.

In move

The engine remained the same.Special dynamic characteristics are not expected from him. However, if the PPC is controlled correctly, then the van is quite maneuverable in the flow. The most important thing - in the process of rebuilding do not forget about the great length of the wheelbase and the rear. On the track, the crossover also behaves pretty well. Even if you load the trunk as much as possible, then, in spite of everything, he rides on the asphalt, rides quite confidently.

Off-road performance

Naturally, in the full sense of the new carIt is difficult to call a crossover. A ground clearance of 175 mm with a fully loaded body is a great figure, but one has only to go off-road, as the distance between the axles is immediately remembered, which seriously limits the possibilities. Moreover, AvtoVAZ does not plan to produce 4x4 Largus Cross. Still, this car is positioned as a family economical car. However, this is not only a universal machine with increased capacity. Now the kit also has increased permeability and vitality.

The suspension here can fully open. “Ditch” it can be, but it is quite difficult to implement. In addition, other wheels are installed, which also contributed to the increase in clearance.

In general, such a car for Russian roads andmust be at the very beginning. Everything that has been done now could have been done much earlier. If you read what the owners of the car "Largus-Cross" write, the feedback about the car is generally positive. It's almost a foreign car. With this car, everything is much easier than with any other models. It is enough to turn the key half a turn, and the engine immediately starts up.

Protective body kit fully justifies itsappointment. He will be able to withstand the winter drifts without any problems, and will not be scratched from contact with the branches. This is true for summer residents who regularly travel to the plots.

Also speak positively about the terrain. Yes, there is no four-wheel drive in the car, not even imitating it.

test largus cross
But a clearance of more than 200 millimeters isExcellent argument when driving over rough terrain. At AvtoVAZ, we repeat, we abandoned the idea of ​​creating a Lada-Largus-Cross 4x4 car. Test drive also showed good opportunities.

On country roads helps a lotfive-speed gearbox with short gears. However, there are no fully universal solutions and cannot be. Before giving you have to go more and on the highway. The engine spins, and the interior is filled with a roar.

Зимой необходимо проявлять внимательность.That's because visibility deteriorates in winter. Janitors very quickly frost up, and on the left is an uncleaned area, behind which even a large truck can hide. In the rearview mirror, only the headrests and the frozen hinged doors are visible. Side mirrors quickly get dirty.

The car itself "Largus Cross", technicalthe characteristics of which we have considered earlier - this is something that is perfect for car enthusiasts without any special ambitions. Engine capacity is sufficient for both roads and off-road. A roomy trunk will be a huge plus for commercial use, for lovers of travel and for summer residents. Also, the car will be appreciated by large families, whose wealth is above average. Children will appreciate the spaciousness of the cabin, men and women will like the excellent sound of the media system. Everyone will like the interior and exterior, as well as the opportunity to drive on any pavement without any obstacles. So “Largus Cross” is a car for our roads, with a Russian character and an affordable price.
