Lada X-Ray is positioned by the manufacturer as an SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) in the category subcompact crossovers. In fact, the car has nothing to do with this class. This is standard five-door hatchback with increased ground clearance, built on the B0 sedan platform. Despite decent ground clearance, X-Ray is designed for city streets. It was first presented to the general public in August 2015 as part of the Moscow Auto Show Off Road Show. but conceptual model debuted long before that - its presentation took place back in 2012 at the International Motor Show in Moscow. In the near future, the urban pseudo-SUV Lada X-Ray will appear in an updated form, but no one knows exactly when.

Interior and exterior of Lada X-Ray

The appearance of X-Ray turned out to be attractive and modern. All thanks to the successful X-style line of cars. The front of the hatchback looks massive with a recognizable X styling, framed by chrome lines. They flow smoothly into the strong head optics of lighting technology with a strip of LED daytime running lights. On the sides of the doors, as well as on Vesta, there are characteristic stampings with an X-shape. Dynamism is emphasized by a strong slope windshield, sloping roof and short overhangs front and rear. The back part does not stand out with something special, it is made neatly thanks to the shape rear lights. The bumper has a massive plastic overlay, and the trunk lid is small and stylish.

The base of the X-Ray is the same as that of the sedan, therefore, with its own overall dimensions it's not much different. Its parameters are:

• length - 4164 mm;
• width - 1764 mm;
• height - 1570 mm;
• the distance between the axles of the wheels is 2520 mm.

The main feature of this hatchback is its decent ground clearance, which is 195 mm, and with a maximum curb weight, the ground clearance is reduced to 170 mm. Inside the cabin, everything reminds regular Lada Vesta. In terms of its architecture, the equipment is not futuristic, but it is quite informative and understandable. Dashboard has everything you need, each device has its own well - there are three in total. The screen is on the right on-board computer. The modern four-spoke steering wheel has a clear relief.

Top configurations are equipped with a multifunctional steering wheel with duplicate navigation control buttons, telephone, cruise control and audio system. A 7-inch touchscreen is built into the middle of the center console. On both sides of it there are deflectors of the ventilation and heating system.

Below is the climate control unit. It has a simple, rather primitive design and simple appearance. This is how the maximum modifications look - in the basic multimedia system not used. Instead, a conventional audio radio with a monochrome screen is installed, and instead of the climate control unit, rotary switches for the heater and air conditioner are installed.

In the cabin, plastic is used for decoration, not the highest quality, but not hard either. Seats are upholstered in fabric. The front seats have mediocre lateral support, but it is possible to adjust the position for tilt and height. To accommodate various small things in the interior of the hatchback, a large number of places are provided - pockets with cup holders on the front doors, a retractable luggage compartment under the front passenger seat. Under the center console is also a niche and two cupholders. back row seating is represented by a solid sofa with a simple design and comfortable relief. Passengers will be comfortable to sit, but no additional comfort is provided.

The luggage compartment of the X-Ray is modest even compared to the sedan - only 372 liters. But if you fold rear seats, the useful volume increases to 1380 liters. The transformation allows you to get a luggage compartment with a flat floor.

Hidden under the trunk mat is a full-size spare wheel radius R15. At the same time, the car in the basic equipment is equipped with R16 wheels.

Beautiful in a new way and still reliable - this is how the Kaluga "state employee" Volkswagen Polo in a sedan is advertised today. The honest working class did not have time to acquire fresh versions of the car, produced in as many as 4 trim levels - from the inexpensive Concept Line and Trendline to the stuffed Comfortline and Highline, as the German manufacturer dealt another blow to Russian market. The model range in domestic Volkswagen dealerships has been replenished with a new “star” - the Allstar version (Ol Star).

Available vehicle versions

But let's start the analysis in order. For true "Spartans" the Kaluga plant assembles Conceptline. This basic equipment with the current price tag of 579,500 rubles. If you join the program for the disposal of old "utensils", then you can drop the "ballast" of 50,000 rubles from the price. Nothing remarkable in the equipment package can be found here.

All equipment complies standard equipment any modern car. Conventional 14" steel wheels, electronic ABS, heater rear window, power windows, unpretentious acoustics with 4 speakers, fabric seat upholstery and small elements of artificial leather - nothing more.

Additionally, future owners of the Volkswagen Polo sedan can choose from various metallic shades for the body, as well as a couple of colors for the interior.

Before "pumping" engine compartment, which occurred in November 2015, the manufacturer installed an internal combustion engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a return of 85 hp on the “base”. After restyling, motorists got the opportunity to purchase a new base Volkswagen Polo with a 90-horsepower engine. No changes have happened to the transmission - next to the "aspirated" under the hood, there is still a 5-speed "mechanics".

The Trendline package looks a little more interesting. Without a recycling discount, the Kaluga sedan can be picked up from official dealer for 613,500 rubles. Perhaps the only difference between the Trendline and the basic version in the equipment package is the availability of the first Climatic air conditioning system. But this is with the 90-strong "Kaluga".

There are also enough innovations in the cabin: climate control, electric heating of the windshield, high-quality Livon brand fabric on the seats in black or beige, central armrest, central locking with remote control, "anti-theft" and "pumped" radio RCD320 - all this complements the already tight package technical equipment"budget".

In the pre-styling version, the consumer could get a 105-strong “aspirated” with a volume of 1.6 liters. Now the happy owners of the Kaluga sedan in the Highline configuration drive a 110 hp engine. True, some choose a 5-speed mechanical transmission, others prefer automatic transmission with 6 gears.

Finally, the last Kaluga "fighter", who recently got into the lineup manufacturer, - Allstar equipment (Ol star). A “brazen” car with a daring Copper Orange coloring recently burst into dealerships. In fact new version The Russian sedan has been released into the wild for those who appreciate fashion and style. As an encouragement (and, of course, to stimulate sales), the "officials" launched a March promotion for the "state employees". The discount reaches as much as 90,000 rubles, and the price tag is now 599,500 rubles.

"Maximum speed" new configuration There is practically nothing to add to Ol Star. side mirrors, not counting heating and electrical adjustments, have an electric drive for folding. The power windows have a comfort opening function. Instead of a conventional steering wheel, a multifunctional steering wheel, touch screen and phone calls are installed. On this technical advantages are probably ending.

But how the developers decorated the interior of Ol Star! The handles of the levers were covered with high-quality leather and stitched with a thin line. All chairs have an expensive fabric upholstery Anthracite Pentastripe, which is highly wear resistant. The Ol Star pedals feature stylish aluminum overlays. You won't notice right away.

About the 105-horsepower engine star "hero" German concern never knew. So, among the engine compartment equipment, both modified engines with returns of 90 and 110 hp are offered. and standard manual and automatic transmissions.

Thus, all configurations of the Kaluga car can be divided into three camps. The first includes "base" and Trendline with minimal differences from each other. In the second - top-end Comfortline and Highline with a rich package of technical equipment. Finally, the last group can include a bright and emotional Ol Star with an abundance of chrome and decorative ornaments both in the exterior and in the car.
