LADA Granta – configurations in 2020-2021
Production of Granta began back in 2011. Initially, the sedan version was released based on the Lada Kalina, later a liftback appeared. And in 2021, Kalina and Granta were connected and Granta began production in various trim levels.
Having undergone changes in 2021, the car has noticeably freshened up. The headlights have become the same as those on one of the older versions of Lada Vesta.
This article will discuss the main changes in the Lada Granta 2020-2021, namely equipment, engine, gearbox, and I will write a personal opinion.

Technical characteristics of LADA Granta 2020-2021
The car's engine is eight-valve, with a power of 97 horsepower. The five-speed gearbox is the most reliable, repairable and universal in Russian road conditions.
The power unit of the new Granta is more high-torque. Fuel consumption has increased within reasonable limits. If the old versions of Grants spent 4.9 - 5.2 liters of gasoline per 100 km, then the new ones require 5.5 -5.6 liters per 100 km. Depending on the time of year, fuel consumption increases. For example, in winter, to travel 100 km, a car will need 6 - 6.2 liters of gasoline.
The 106 horsepower engine also has a five-speed manual transmission. But of course, it is faster and more expensive. On lower versions of cars, the price of this engine is more affordable. A robotic gearbox is cheaper, but in a metropolis, a full-fledged automatic transmission is the best solution in terms of convenience and control.
Adjusting the driver's seat
I would also say that the adjustment of the driver's seat in the range of 40 mm is also convenient. The rain sensor is an indispensable assistant during slush and unstable weather. You don't have to be distracted by cleaning glass. Exterior mirrors are heated and equipped with an electric drive; gear shifting is as comfortable and convenient as possible in city traffic.
Rain sensor
Of course, this car does not have perfect handling, but it is well suited for Russian roads. The Lada Granta has a durable suspension, excellent ride quality on uneven surfaces, excellent cross-country ability and good handling despite the height.
Electric drive
The length of the car is 3926 mm, width – 1700 mm, and height – 1500 mm. The wheel reaches up to 2476 mm, and the ground clearance is 145 mm.
Automatic transmission
Provides classic AT functionality, the most comfortable gear shifting and driving in city traffic.
Suspension
Grant is not a champion on the race track. It does not shine with refined handling on the “parquet” floor. Here it is reliable in taxiing, but no more. But in Russia there are few truly smooth roads. To understand Granta's abilities, we need to shift the coordinate system. How to compare a car with a ground clearance of 195 mm in running order and 160 mm when fully loaded? Yes, with a single-wheel drive crossover!
The Granta has an almost impenetrable suspension, excellent ride quality on crushing and undulating surfaces, excellent cross-country ability for a single-wheel drive and very good handling for such a tall passenger car, and even with high-profile tires.
Dimensions
The car is 3926 mm long, 1700 mm wide and 1500 mm high. The wheelbase of this car reaches 2476 mm, and the ground clearance is 145 mm.
Specifications
Sedan and hatchback cars will be offered on the Russian market. However, the second option will be available only for crossovers. The headlights will carry over from the prototype virtually unchanged. Already in the basic configuration they will be LED.
The length of the new car will be 4396 mm, wheelbase – 2649 mm, width – 1848 mm, height – 1501 mm. The car's ground clearance will be 175 mm, and its wheels will be 15-16 inches.
The car will retain the classic MacPherson suspension design at the front and a semi-independent beam at the rear. The luggage compartment volume of the Lada Granta sedan will be 528 liters.

The side part of the body is quite simple in design. The large headlights and spoiler-shaped stampings also look simple. The rear bumper does not have fog lights or reflectors. The interior decoration is minimalist. The finishing is made from cheap materials. The console houses an audio system with a single-color display and climate control with three dials. But the instrument panel is made with high quality. It is worth noting the presence of daytime running lights, tinted windows, 14 inch steel wheels and a spare wheel.
Cars produced from 2021 to 2021 will be equipped with the ERA-GLONASS system with an emergency call button located on the ceiling.

Bi-fuel version of Lada Granta 2021
The second generation of the popular budget Granta has been riding on domestic roads since the beginning of autumn 2021. However, in fact, they were waiting not so much for it as for the long-promised bi-fuel modification. Unfortunately, some permitting and technical difficulties forced everyone to postpone her debut, but starting in 2021, it seems that we will still be able to admire her with our own eyes.
Externally, the CNG modification will completely replicate the updated sedan, but the design will have to be thoroughly revised, since a two-cylinder methane system must be immediately introduced. The platform will remain the same - common with Logan’s B0, the design promises to be very modest, and if you want to know what the dual-fuel version will look like from the inside, just google photos of Renault Logan interiors. The only highlight is the Lada Connect telematics platform, which can be controlled from a smartphone. I was also pleased that remote control of the central locking is now available in the basic configuration, as well as the presence of an on-board computer.
Although electric power steering, electric windows and climate control remained options. The engines for the dual-fuel model will be four-cylinder 1.6 liters with a power of 87/98/106 hp. – to choose from. And they will come with either a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual, and the maximum speed will not exceed 174 km/h.

Practicality and ergonomics - these two factors should make you turn a blind eye to the shortcomings that are revealed in the interior of the inexpensive Lada Granta 2020-2021.
The front row of seats received new upholstery, lateral support rollers, larger headrests, and noticeable support. Top modifications are additionally equipped with seat height adjustment with a range of up to 4.0 cm.
Starting from 2020-2021, all Lada Granta models will be equipped with the ERA-GLONASS system with an emergency call button on the ceiling.
