Attractive shades and colors of the new crossover Lada X Ray
The new Lada X-RAY crossover went on sale in the first quarter of 2016. As for the color scheme, it will include 7 colors.
Surprisingly, the color of a car can tell a lot about its owner. Especially if the driver is a person who has spent more than one year behind the wheel and has changed several models. For example, the color black indicates respectability and weight in society. White is a sign of triumph, celebration and joy of life. For some reason, red is recognized as inherent in women's style. Blue and green are chosen by people who do not want to stand out from the crowd. Gray tones for true practitioners who value style and rigor.
Opinion of sales experts
Regarding the colors of the Lada X Rei, many experts, designers and marketers, believe that the color solutions that AvtoVAZ adopted are quite appropriate and relevant today. Experts approached the selection of colors very seriously, which is why X-ray cars are in good demand.

Color range: all colors of the serial Lada XRAY
The first car to roll off the assembly line received a new color – “Fresh”. In addition, the manufacturers have provided six more color options for the new Lada car. The entire color range of the body is quite large, and currently there are 7 colors:

The first batch of the Lada Xray that went on sale has five different colors that were present in previous AvtoVAZ models. However, subsequent batches of X-Ray will be produced in an expanded color palette, which will be able to satisfy the tastes of a wide variety of age categories of buyers. The manufacturer and its new management are not afraid to experiment with colors, this became clear after the sensational solutions that were applied to the Lada Vesta, so we expect many original surprises from X-Ray.
Orange "Fresh"
The limited number of colors of the first batch of Lada X-Ray is due to the decision of AvtoVAZ design specialists, who considered that this option would be optimal and most convenient for expanding production in the future.
The first cars received the following color options:
- gray-beige – gray basalt;
- white – glacial;
- black (metallic) – black pearl;
- red – fiery;
- silver beige – platinum;
- brown color – puma;
- orange color – fresh.
Differences from Lada Vesta
So far, X-Ray is inferior to Vesta in the number of colors, he has 7, and Vesta has 12. But new options are already being considered in which the crossover will be able to seriously expand the proposed palette. Vesta is available in the following colors:
- brown metallic;
- dark blue metallic;
- dark green metallic;
- dark burgundy metallic;
- silver beige metallic;
- metallic gray;
- blue-gray metallic;
- white;
- bright yellow;
- metallic red;
- bright blue metallic;
- metallic blue.

The sixth and seventh original XRAY colors: from “Fresh” to “Puma”
Undoubtedly, of all the options, the elite color “Fresh” stands out, which is available as an additional paid option for the package and costs 19,000 rubles. The English translation, which means “freshness,” emphasized the novelty of the implemented project.
Another color was dark brown metallic (265), original for new X-style cars. It was called “Puma” and is somewhat unusual for the Lada paint palette. The car was presented in this color at many exhibitions and presentations.
Body coating thickness
In order for the paint to cover the car body for a long time and reliably, manufacturers have to think and work a lot. After all, coverage is of great importance. It is not only pleasing to the eye. High-quality paint prevents corrosion of metal parts, delays aging and natural wear of the body. The body covering also affects aerodynamics. In addition, it is necessary to obtain a layer that will easily withstand humidity, sunlight, aggressive environments and significant temperature changes. This coating must withstand dust and not be scratched by frequent impacts of small particles that fly at high speed while driving. At the same time, the body should be easy to wash and put in proper shape in a short time.
All of the above requirements depend on the quality of the paint and the preliminary preparation of the body for painting work. The thickness of the layers is of great importance. In recent years, AvtoVAZ has done a decent job of obtaining high-quality body coatings. The main emphasis was placed on achieving the level of European production. Thus, the predecessors of LADA XRay were covered with paint of the following thickness:
- LADA KALINA – 60–90 microns;
- LADA PRIORA – 65–100 microns;
- LADA GRANTA – 90–100 microns.
The Lada X-Ray crossover is covered with a paint layer of 160 microns. More than 90% of the world's manufacturers cover their cars with just such a layer. The new style domestic hatchback strives to be in no way inferior to its competitors, regardless of their names.
Warranty for more than ten years: dream or reality
Having applied new technologies in the production of a high hatchback, Russian automakers did not lose sight of the galvanizing, painting and welding process. These procedures must be carried out directly at the car production site to ensure high quality. According to management's assumptions, the body of the Lada X-Ray can last up to 12 years without additional treatments. This limit is significantly ahead of all previously offered guarantees.
The basis for the longevity of the body is galvanization. This processing method minimizes metal aging and prevents corrosion. AvtoVAZ relatively recently began using this method of protection on production vehicles. So far, not all parts of the Lada X-Ray are subject to anti-corrosion treatment. Particular attention is paid to the most vulnerable parts of the new crossover. These include: pillars, doors and bottom. This is done without fail. The body is selectively coated, but according to AvtoVAZ management, soon all Lada cars will receive a 100% galvanized body, which will be made in the factory. This is what will significantly extend the life of each machine. Depending on whether the body is galvanized or not, the price of the car is determined. Therefore, this moment, of course, will influence the rise in price of cars.
About the original colors of the car
Of the entire list of Xray shades, two of the most original ones should be especially highlighted: dark brown puma and fresh orange.
Dark brown "Puma"
- Puma color is the most suitable color option for a crossover. It is not easily soiled and looks stylish. This color is aimed at the widest consumer audience; it is completely universal and will suit everyone, from young people to retirees.
- Fresh color is a bright and catchy youth version of the Lada X-Ray. It is obvious that the target consumer audience of this car is young people and girls who like to emphasize their individuality with catchy shades. This color is experimental and even revolutionary for Russia.
Galvanization
A coating that protects the car body from the environment can be applied in several ways. One of them is thermal or hot. In this case, the zinc alloy covers the car body at a time when it has not yet left the assembly line. At AvtoVAZ, this option is used for expensive modifications of the Lada. Thermal galvanizing creates the most tangible protection that can last for many years.
The second method involves galvanizing individual parts. This is often used on mid-spec cars when it is necessary to maintain a certain price. After all, galvanizing significantly adds to the cost of each car. Metal parts are dipped into a bath of zinc solution, where, under the influence of electric current, zinc particles are deposited onto the metal being coated.
There is a third option. This method is widely used in mass production, despite the more complex process. It processes small body parts. Each part is exposed to zinc, iron and manganese salts. The next step is thorough priming. After the preliminary layer is obtained, it is covered with zinc paint, where special attention is paid to the dispersion of zinc. The latter option is not considered full-fledged galvanizing, but it still stops corrosion for a long time.
To the future in everything new
The compact crossover LADA XRay has truly revolutionized the perception of domestic B-class cars. This is evidenced not only by the original color “Puma” or “Fresh”. Lada X-Ray has its own 1.8 liter engine and AMT gearbox, which has not previously been used on domestic cars. The minimum configuration of the Optima has so many options that more advanced classes cannot handle it. This is indicated by safety systems, from airbags to sophisticated electronics. High quality radio, central locking with remote control and much more. And at the same time, the prices of Lada X Ray are much more attractive than those of competitors. Equipment with the addition of “Comfort” has air conditioning. The “Top” version boasts a multimedia system with navigation, heated windows and seats, and LED lights. And all this in the price range from 589 to 723 thousand rubles.

From the above, we can conclude that this time AvtoVAZ decided to yield to all its principles and not produce a car in traditional green or blue colors. So, for example, “Glacial” or “Platinum” colors have a more practical appearance. But “Black Pearl” is suitable for those who put solidity and elegance in the first place. Women preferably choose “Fresh” or bright red color.
As you can see, even among the not so wide variety of colors, there is one for everyone that will satisfy the necessary needs.
