The last month of summer in 2012, on the podium car showroom in Moscow "AvtoVAZ", the 2nd generation Lada Kalina hatchback was presented to the general public. If we compare it with its successor, the car was able to retain recognizable features, but it became noticeably better in appearance and interior, as well as from the technical side.

The following year, or more precisely on May 16, 2013, the company launched the production of Kalina 2, and in the summer buyers could already purchase it. Quite funny, but to promote its model, the Russian company chose a slightly slang expression: “ Lada Kalina- Complete stuffing! The entire Lada model range.

The appearance of the new car has noticeably changed, as the main elements have been added to it design works modern cars from Europe. The bow of Kalina now looks much larger and brighter, as car enthusiasts are a little tired of the dull look of the previous generation. The presence of power lines of the hood has appeared, which taper towards the radiator grille and create the sensation of an expanding trapezoid. Also, all this gives the car’s exterior some sporty and aggressive characteristics.

Exterior

The appearance of the second generation Lada Kalina remained recognizable, but received a more harmonious, attractive and modern finish. The nose of the car is decorated with a hood with characteristic ribs, and there are also stylish lighting equipment with a darkened background and a massive front bumper with an air intake “mouth” and chrome decor ( top configurations additionally have fog lights).

The head optics flow smoothly into the narrow strip of the radiator grille. The bumper installed in front is of a relief type with a massive air intake in the center and has just the right edge fog lights, which were covered with chrome “eyelashes”. True, it is worth admitting that an air intake of this size does not fit perfectly with the overall design of the Lada Kalina 2.

You immediately notice the streamlined shape of a brand new car. They are not at all similar to the angular shapes that were present in previously produced VAZ models. Thanks to the smoothed body corners, the aerodynamic component has been improved, which has made it possible to reduce the noise of headwinds and make travel at high speeds more comfortable. If you look at the side of the car, you can see the presence of a sloping hood, a slightly sloping roof towards the rear, large door openings and large wheel arches.

All this together allows the hatchback to have a light and moderately dynamic silhouette. The fact that there are no stampings on the side body parts is made up for by the presence of door trims, which give the appearance of the car a certain relief against the background of the overall smoothing of the appearance. The wheel arches turned out to be a little swollen, and thanks to the high ground clearance of the hatchback, its solidity is felt.

The stern of the Lada Kalina 2 turned out to be compact and has beautiful lights and a neat lid luggage compartment and a small bumper with a plastic lining at the bottom, which serves as a protective option. As a result, the domestic new product looks quite good and fresh, and in terms of design it matches foreign cars.

The trunk door is decorated with restyled unique optics, which, with its lower element, connects the sidewall and the upper part of the rear bumper. New guy rear bumper received a couple of strips of reflectors integrated into it on the sides.

Interior

The second generation salon is distinguished by the presence of modern design and high ergonomic indicators. Also, what immediately catches your eye is the presence of a massive 3-spoke steering wheel, behind which lies an informative dashboard, which is represented by two shallow “wells” and a modest monochrome screen of the on-board computer. To the left of the steering wheel, a place was allocated for the light-amplification control unit, and under it, an inconspicuous button was installed, which is responsible for opening the luggage compartment (this decision can be called one of the most important miscalculations in terms of ergonomics).

The center console consists mainly of a color touch display of the multimedia system, which is covered with a small visor on top. A control panel for the music system was installed under it, and under it there are already 3 rotating “washers” of the air conditioning system. In general, getting into the hatchback is quite comfortable, partly due to the presence of wide-opening doors and a large doorway.

Thanks to large mirrors along with a low window sill, the car provides good visibility. You can also notice the presence of a box for small items, which was placed on a console installed in the center. We increased the volume of the glove compartment with a shelf for small items and a pen holder.

There are a pair of cup holders and a pair of niches on the lining of the floor tunnel, lining hand brake, where there is a folding cup holder for rear passengers, a “prompt” for gear shifts on the LCD display of the instrument panel, a multimedia system with the Hands free option, an electric drive for the recirculation flap, new interior color options, as well as new supports for luggage compartment shelves to increase loading opening.

The climate system, which was developed specifically for the Lada Kalina 2, looks interesting. It has become quite effective than on previous cars, and it is much quieter. There is also an “AUTO” option (not on all modifications), which can distribute air flows, change the fan speed and control air dampers automatically.

The driver only needs to set the temperature inside the car. For the future, the company wants to equip multimedia system geonavigation module GSM/GLONASS. Many systems have been introduced that are designed to increase the level of comfort in the cabin. For example, there is an adjustment of the steering column angle, electric power steering, filtration of the air that enters the cabin, an instrument cluster with on-board computer options, systems automatic switching on headlights and power unit.

In general, the Kalina interior itself was assembled mainly from “hard” plastic, and the softest part is steering wheel. In principle, there are no complaints about the assembly itself, but there are still some shortcomings that the factory could not cope with. In some places you can notice joints, and the screws are exposed and not covered with anything.

If you look at the car from the point of view budget hatchback, then it was equipped with comfortable seats in front, where there is soft filling and a wide range of settings, and the amount of free space allows even tall people to sit comfortably. The sofa installed at the back is quite comfortable for a couple of people, and if particularly necessary it can accommodate three, but there will only be enough free space for two.

The legs do not rest against the backs of the seats installed in front, and there is also enough free space above the head. The luggage compartment of the 2nd generation Lada Kalina is about 260 liters. In shape, it is quite comfortable, although the wheel arches “eat up” a little free space. The rear sofa, if necessary, can be folded entirely or in parts, which will result in about 550 liters of usable volume.

For all versions of cars, comes with full equipment spare wheel, jack and wheel wrench. The luggage compartment lid is equipped with an electric lock, which can only be opened using a button located to the left of the steering wheel, or in the standard way - with a key.

Specifications

Power unit

The 2nd generation Lada Kalina hatchback will come with one of three power units operating on gasoline. These are 1.6-liter four-cylinder “aspirated” engines. The most basic is considered to be an engine with an 8-valve system (VAZ-11186), which has a lightweight connecting rod and piston group from Federal Mogul. It can produce about 87 horses at 5,100 rpm.

The connecting link between the motor and the wheels is a 5-speed manual gearbox with a cable drive, or a 4-range hydromechanical “automatic” Jatco. However, no matter what kind of gearbox there is, only a front-wheel drive layout is provided for the car.

The car reaches the first hundred in 12.2-14.2 seconds, and maximum speed at the level of 161-168 km/h (where the greater value is with manual transmission). In the combined cycle, the engine consumes about 7 - 7.7 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers.

Between them is the presence of the VAZ-21126, a 16-valve gas distribution mechanism with four cylinders arranged in a row. It can already develop 98 horsepower at 5,600 rpm. This engine is synchronized only with an automatic gearbox, which allows it to reach a speed mark of 100 km/h in 13.1 seconds, and the maximum speed is already at 175 km/h. Based on average consumption, the power unit consumes 7.6 liters per 100 km.

Next comes the most powerful 16-valve VAZ-21127, which is equipped with the latest electronic system fuel supply, reconfigured the electronics and installed dynamic supercharging. All this allows it to produce 106 horsepower at 5,800 rpm. From the very beginning, for such a power unit, only a manual gearbox was provided, which made it possible for the 2nd generation Lada Kalina hatchback to pass the 100 km/h mark in 11 seconds, and the top speed is about 181 km/h. Moreover, engine consumption is not huge, only about 6.7 liters per 100 km in medium loads.

Chassis

We built Lada Kalina 2 on VAZ base 2190, which has undergone major improvements. The front axle uses an independent design with McPherson struts, and the rear axle has a semi-independent design with coil springs. Steering the machine is carried out using a built-in electric power steering wheel made in Korea. The braking system is represented by ventilated discs of the brake system in front, and on rear wheels ah there is the presence of drum mechanisms.

Let's sum it up

After the release of the hatchback Russian production Lada Kalina 2nd generation, it is clear that AvtoVAZ does not want to stand still, but wants to move forward, gradually competing with other cars imported even from European countries. General appearance The car has become more recent, it looks nice, especially the front, youthful, but at the same time stylish. The hood received small stampings, and the side part, or rather the doors, have a characteristic molding.

The aft part has a rather characteristic appearance for the company. Moreover, there is a large door with a convenient opening, which makes loading and unloading cargo easier. The interior is certainly far from perfect; there is budget-type plastic, although it does not look the cheapest. The instrument panel is of a standard type, although for some reason it lacks a coolant temperature sensor, a strange solution.

But there is a convenient small touch screen display, which is very convenient to operate. Front seats, as for budget model They are well padded and soft. The back row can comfortably accommodate only two people; the third will be able to sit down, but will experience discomfort. There is enough free space in the car.

So, new Lada Kalina 2, what is called the new generation. Today we will talk about the history of creation Lada Kalina prices and trim levels, we will show photos and videos. And most importantly, the technical characteristics of the Lada Kalina 2 in a new body. We will mainly consider Kalina in a hatchback body.

Automobile Lada Kalina or VAZ 1118 Specialists at AvtoVAZ began developing the first generation in the early 90s. The first pre-production samples were officially shown in 1999; it was a Lada Kalina in a hatchback body. In 2000, they showed a sedan, which is no longer produced, since it was replaced by the Lada Granta sedan. And only in 2001 they showed the Lada Kalina station wagon. But the first production cars appeared only in 2004. The cars were produced in three types of bodies with 1.4 and 1.6 liter engines. Later in 2008, a version of the Lada Kalina Sport or VAZ-1119 appeared.

The main engines of the first generation Kalina are VAZ-21114 81 hp, VAZ-11194 89 hp, and VAZ-21126 98 Horse power. It was the last engine with 16 valves and 98 horses that was able to be combined for the first time in history with an automatic transmission, which originally appeared on the Lada Granta, and since 2014 on the new generation Lada Kalina. The first generation Kalina has not been produced since March 2013.

Production started in May 2013 Lada Kalina II. In a hatchback body, the car received an index VAZ 2192, station wagon VAZ 2194. Version Lada Kalina Sport II will appear on the assembly line soon, the manufacturer promises this car powerful motor at 135 horsepower. Let us remind you that today the Lada Granta Sport has a power of 120 hp. It is worth noting that the Lada Kalina platform is used not only for the Lada Granta family, but a car was produced on its basis Datsun on-DO . This budget sedan from the Nissan concern, which will also be produced at AvtoVAZ.

The appearance of the new generation Lada Kalina does not differ much from the first generation Kalina. The car was restyled to become a little more modern and the designers succeeded. The bumpers, headlights, optics, and radiator grille were completely replaced. In addition, the car will now have the ability to install modern options, such as an automatic transmission, for example.

The interior of the Lada Kalina has undergone even more serious changes; it has begun to resemble the interior of the Granta. Inside, the Lada Kalina has a more elaborate and more expensive finish than the Granta. We are offering to you photo of Lada Kalina 2 interior, and of course photos appearance Kalina 2014 model year , exterior and interior.

Video Lada Kalina in a new body

Lada Kalina 2 test drive video. Enough detailed description, review and objective Lada test Kalina of the new generation.

In general, I would like to wish AvtoVAZ to update its models not once every 10 years, as in the case of Kalina, but a little more often. In principle, the emergence of modern options such as automatic transmission is very positive, but I would like to see the third generation Lada Kalina not in 2024, but a little earlier.

At the end of August 2012, on the podium of the Moscow Motor Show, AvtoVAZ put the 2nd generation Lada Kalina hatchback on public display for the first time. Compared to its predecessor, the car retained its recognizable proportions, but was noticeably prettier both outside and inside, and technically. Conveyor production of the “second Kalina” was launched on May 16, 2013, and in the summer it began to arrive to customers. It’s interesting that to promote the model, the Russian auto giant chose a somewhat slang expression: “Lada Kalina – Complete stuffing!”

The appearance of the “second” Lada Kalina remained recognizable, but turned out to be more harmonious, attractive and modern. The front part of the hatchback is topped with a hood with characteristic ribs, stylish lighting with a darkened background and a massive bumper with an air intake “mouth” and chrome decor (expensive versions also have fog lights).

When examining the hatchback from the side, you can notice a sloping hood, a slightly sloping roof towards the rear, large door openings and large wheel arches, as a result of which the Kalina VAZ-2192 has a light and moderately dynamic silhouette. The compact rear part “shows off” beautiful lights, a neat trunk lid and a small bumper with a plastic cover at the bottom that performs a protective function. As a result, the domestic “state car” looks interesting and attractive, and in terms of design it has already come close to its classmate foreign cars.

The dimensions of the 2nd generation Lada Kalina clearly fit into the B-segment standards: 3893 mm in length, 1500 mm in height and 1700 mm in width. Wheelbase car is 2476 mm, the body rises above the road surface at a height of 170 mm (clearance), and the distance from the bottom front bumper to the ground many crossovers will envy - 200 mm.

The interior of Kalina is distinguished by its modern design and high ergonomic performance. A massive steering wheel with a 3-spoke layout hides an informative instrument panel, represented by a pair of shallow “wells” and a modest monochrome display on-board computer. To the left of the steering column there is a place for the light control unit, below which there is an inconspicuous button responsible for opening the trunk (this is one of the main mistakes in ergonomics).

The dominant position on the massive central console of the Lada Kalina 2 goes to the color touch display of the multimedia complex, which is covered with a small visor on top. A little lower is the music control panel, and even lower are three rotating “washers” of the climate system.

The interior of the Kalina is assembled mainly from “hard” types of plastic, and the only soft part is the steering wheel. The build quality is good, but the VAZ workers were unable to cope with some shortcomings - in some places there are noticeable joints, and some screws are exposed and not covered by anything.

By standards budget cars The “second” Lada Kalina has comfortable front seats with soft filling and large adjustment ranges, and the amount of space allows even tall people to comfortably accommodate. The rear sofa is quite comfortable for two passengers, and if necessary, it can accommodate three, but there will simply not be enough space in width. But the legs do not rest against the backs of the chairs, and the ceiling does not press on the heads.

The luggage compartment volume of the Kalina 2 hatchback is 260 liters, its shape is quite comfortable, although wheel arches“eat up” some space. The rear sofa folds either in parts or in its entirety, freeing up a 550-liter luggage compartment and optimal storage space. loading area. All versions of the car are equipped with a full-fledged spare wheel, a jack and a wheel key. The trunk lid is equipped with an electric lock, which can be opened using a button. left side from the steering wheel or in a more traditional way - with a key.

Specifications. Under the hood of the second generation Lada Kalina hatchback you can find one of three petrol four-cylinder “aspirated” engines with a volume of 1.6 liters each (1596 cubic centimeters).

The least productive is the 8-valve unit (VAZ-11186) with a lightweight connecting rod and piston group from Federal Mogul, which generates a maximum of 87 horsepower at 5100 rpm and 140 Nm of torque available at 3800 rpm.
It can be paired with a 5-speed manual transmission with cable drive or a Jatco 4-speed hydromechanical automatic transmission, but in any case, all the torque is sent to the front wheels.
This “Kalina” accelerates to the first hundred in 12.2-14.2 seconds, maximizing 161-168 km/h (in favor of the manual transmission). In mixed driving mode, the hatchback requires an average of 7-7.7 liters of gasoline per 100 km.

The intermediate version of the VAZ-21126 has a 16-valve gas distribution mechanism and four cylinders arranged in a row. Its output is 98 “horses” at 5600 rpm and 145 Nm of possible torque at 4000 rpm.
The engine is only compatible with automatic transmission, as a result of which the Lada Kalina 2 accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 13.1 seconds, and at 175 km/h the “maximum” is limited.
On average, 7.6 liters of fuel “disappears” from the tank every 100 km.

The “top” 16-valve VAZ-21127 is equipped with a new electronic fuel supply system, reconfigured electronics and dynamic supercharging, thanks to which its power is increased to 106 horsepower at 5800 rpm, and a peak torque of 148 Nm occurs at 4000 rpm.
For this engine, initially only “mechanics” was available, which allowed the “second” Lada Kalina to conquer the first 100 km/h after 11 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 181 km/h.
Gasoline consumption will not stun you - an average of 6.7 liters.
In 2015, the option of equipping with “robotic mechanics” became available for the 106-horsepower engine.

The 2nd generation Kalina was built on the VAZ 2190 platform, which has undergone major modernization. The front axle uses an independent design with McPherson struts, but the rear axle uses a semi-independent design with coil springs.
On steering rack engineers installed a Korean-made electric amplifier. The hatchback has ventilated brake discs at the front and drum mechanisms at the rear.

Options and prices. On Russian market The Lada Kalina 2 hatchback is sold in three equipment levels – “Standard”, “Norma” and “Lux”.

The initial version “Standard” costs a minimum of 376,300 rubles and has a very meager list of equipment - electric power steering, steel wheels 14-inch wheels, front airbag for the driver, immobilizer, two electric windows and Isofix technology for child seats.

The cost of the “Norma” configuration varies from 392,400 to 484,700 rubles, and depending on the modification you can find here central locking, a standard “audio system”, climate control, power windows for the rear doors, a front airbag for the passenger, ABS, BAS, EBD and alarm

For the “Lux” version, the manufacturer asks from 466,800 to 528,800 rubles, and this is where the “full stuffing” mentioned in the official slogan is present. The “top” hatchback Lada Kalina 2 has in its arsenal a full-fledged multimedia system with a touch screen, an exchange rate control system (ESP), heated front seats, rain and light sensors, electric heating windshield, fog lights, electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirrors, as well as wheel disks from light alloy metals.

A new product from AvtoVAZ appeared on the roads of Russia, and we became aware of the technical LADA characteristics Kalina 2 2013. It is worth noting that in fact this is still the same car that I received new box gears 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, do not forget that the luxury version can be equipped with an automatic transmission, which slightly worsens dynamic characteristics 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 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.

You can find out all the technical characteristics of Kalina 2 from the table below. It is worth noting that these are not the final technical specifications for the Lada Kalina 2, as they may still change, but you will probably learn about this on our website or forum.

* — Specifications are official, but they may be slightly changed. In the meantime, on our website you can see high-quality photos of Kalina 2, which we collected from a variety of sources, and also made ourselves.

The most affordable Lada version Kalina 2 is the “Standard” package. The equipment of a “standard” car looks modest: electric power steering, electric front doors, athermal glass, daytime running lights and audio preparation. Wheels are 14-inch, on stamped rims. The engine is also the most modest possible in the family - 87 horsepower. With the “Norma” package, the future owner can choose any of the offered engines, and in addition: air conditioning, heated front seats and an audio system with Bluetooth and USB connectivity. The “Lux” version offers aluminum wheels, front fog lights, roof rails, electric windows on all doors, electric drive and heated side mirrors, as well as a multimedia system with a 7-inch LCD display. One of the features of the new Lada Kalina is modern system ventilation and heating with high performance, low noise and more efficient air flow distribution. The climate system in the “Lux” configuration is now capable of not only maintaining the set temperature, but also automatically controlling the temperature, intensity and direction of air flow. Information for climate control comes, in addition to temperature sensors, also from a solar radiation sensor, which allows you to finely regulate the temperature in the cabin.

The base engine of the Lada Kalina is an 8-valve 1.6-liter VAZ-11186 engine with a lightweight connecting rod and piston group. Power 87 hp ensures acceleration of the car to 100 km/h in 12.6 seconds when equipped with a manual transmission, and in 14.2 seconds with an automatic transmission, offered for the first time to buyers of this model. The “mechanics” is also worthy of attention - it is used here cable drive instead of rigid rods, which increases the vibration comfort of the car; The original gear selection mechanism has significantly improved the quality and softness of shifts. Fuel consumption of Lada Kalina base engine depending on the type of transmission, it will be 7.1 or 7.7 liters per “hundred”. The 16-valve VAZ-21126 engine develops a power of 98 hp; in combination with an automatic transmission, acceleration to “hundreds” will take 13.8 seconds, and fuel consumption will be 8 liters. In addition, the engine range includes a VAZ-21127 engine with a power of 106 hp. The main indicators with it: acceleration to 100 km/h - in 11.6 seconds, fuel consumption - 7 liters.

The most significant changes compared to the previous Lada Kalina affected the chassis of the car. Specialists from Renault have developed new shock absorbers, springs, silent blocks with new settings for the second generation, which significantly improved stability and controllability. Thanks to the more rigid mounting of the steering rack, it was also possible to increase the sensitivity of control. In general, the type of chassis design remains standard for this car: front-wheel drive, independent suspension McPherson at the front and semi-independent torsion beam at the rear.

The basic configuration of the Lada Kalina includes a standard driver's airbag. The “Norma” package includes two airbags and ABS systems with emergency brake booster. In the “Lux” configuration, the car can be equipped with an electronic stability control system (ESC). This system continuously monitors data on driving speed and angular speed of the vehicle, pressure in brake system, steering wheel angle, engine speed, receiving signals from the corresponding sensors. If an unfavorable situation occurs (the front axle skidding or the rear axle skidding), the system controls each wheel individually to level the position of the vehicle.

Certainly, domestic cars, including the Lada Kalina, have not yet completely gotten rid of the shortcomings associated with quality and reliability, although clear progress has been made last years outlined. For those who are ready to put up with some operating problems, the Lada Kalina, in addition to affordable price offers a lot of other advantages: a spacious interior for a compact body, good transformation capabilities, excellent adaptability to domestic roads. It can also be noted that previously unavailable for domestic cars level of comfort, including choice automatic transmission transmission
