Interior

The interior trim is made using inexpensive, but fairly high-quality and durable materials. The interior of the Lada X-Ray Cross 2021 is implemented in contrasting colors, with light predominant on the dashboard, the sides of the seats and on the plastic door trim.

• The design of the steering wheel, supplemented with activation buttons for on-board systems, provides a free view of the dial indicators of the instrument panel.
• In the center of the oval cutout of the console there is a media information display with push-button settings. And in the lower part you can see the controls for the air conditioning system.
• The tunnel is equipped with gear shift and handbrake levers, as well as a multi-mode selector washer for the chassis stabilizer. The steering column is adjustable not only for tilt, but also for reach.
• The front seats with elastic filling and moderately designated lateral support are equipped with a typical set of standard settings and three-stage heated seats. The top modifications provide heating for the rear three-seater sofa.

The new body provides rear-row passengers with more legroom. If it is necessary to transport large and long cargo, you can fold the back of the sofa and more than double the 361-liter volume of the luggage compartment.

Engines

three power units for the 2021 Lada Xray :

- HR16 engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 110 hp. With. (development of the Alliance) and a five-speed manual transmission (development of the Alliance) - discontinued from June 2021 ;

-engine 21129 with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 106 hp. With. (developed by Lada) and manual transmission (developed by Alliance);

-engine 21179 with a volume of 1.8 liters and a power of 122 hp. With. (developed by Lada) and a robotic gearbox (developed by Lada). In the fall of 2021, a manual transmission became available with this engine (see test drive)

The least powerful version of the XRay accelerates from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in 11.9 seconds (manual), a modification with a 114-horsepower engine in 10.3 seconds (manual), and the top version with a 1.8-liter engine in combination with a “robot” - in 10.9 seconds.

The base engine for the Xray will be a VAZ 16-valve unit with a volume of 1.6 liters . The engine power will be 106 hp , and it will be coupled with a French manual gearbox JR5, assembled at AVTOVAZ. It was decided to abandon the VAZ “mechanics” because of its noise. Maximum speed is 170 km/h. Consumption 7.5 liters. Price 589 thousand rubles .

The second engine for the 2021 LADA XRAY is “a combination of Nissan’s H4 engine, also localized at VAZ, and the same JR5 “mechanics.” Obviously, we are talking about a 1.6-liter petrol unit with a capacity of 110 hp . It is also installed on the Nissan Senta, although it does not produce 114 hp. 4 “horses” were lost due to “adaptation”. Mixed consumption will be 6.9 liters. Price from 639 thousand rubles . - discontinued

1.8 liter VAZ unit and working in tandem with a VAZ automated manual transmission (AMT). With this engine, X-Ray will accelerate to “hundreds” in 10.9 seconds, and its top speed will be 183 km/h. Fuel consumption - 7.1 liters. Price from 669 thousand rubles .

The suspension of the new VAZ product was borrowed from the Renault Sandero (the new Lada is being built on the basis of the hatch), while it has different springs and shock absorbers, as a result of which the XRAY “completely lost the legendary Logan’s rolliness.”

An important point on the Lada Xray is the non-disabled traction control system TCS (or traction control as many call it). This system prevents wheel slipping and loss of traction, but sometimes it still interferes, for example, you can simply get stuck in the snow, since the wheels will slip and the system will block them. This drawback was clearly demonstrated in the Autoreview comparative test (at 8:15 minutes):

To be fair, it should be noted that the factory knows the problem and promises to install a button to disable the traction control system in the summer of 2021. Updated : which was done in October 2021:

Main competitors

This car has a relatively small number of competitors. This is due to the fact that the cost of this model, even when fully equipped, does not exceed a million rubles. However, despite this, it has competitors:

The price of these offers is almost identical. At the same time, the build quality of models of French origin is no higher than that of models from the Volzhsky plant. Many will find the offer from the South Korean automaker more attractive.

Based on the fairly high popularity of crossovers in the modern Russian market, the domestic automotive giant has immediately prepared two versions of the updated Lada XRAY 2021 model - Cross and Sport. Taking into account the peculiarities of the requirements of the domestic buyer, which allow one to count on a high level of sales only with a combination of a reasonable price and high reliability, the Lada developers, if they have not achieved the ideal, are very close to it.

Lada Xray Cross

LADA XRAY will be offered only with front-wheel drive ; in 2021, the all-wheel drive XRAY Cross 4x4, with similar technical characteristics, was supposed to go on sale, but later AvtoVAZ decided to abandon the all-wheel drive modification. As a result, the Lada Xray Cross will only be front-wheel drive and the only difference from the regular Xray hatchback will be roof rails

Base price of Lada Xray: from 589 thousand rubles, equipment and prices: https://www.lada-xray2.ru/vse-o-lada-xray#price

Below is outdated information!

If we talk about the technical characteristics of the Lada Xray, Bo Andresson, president of AvtoVAZ, said that four versions of the Lada Xray are planned for release. It is reported that all of them will have excellent qualities and technical characteristics inherent in SUVs. For example, such as high cross-country ability. Andresson emphasized that this is “at the DNA level.”

Options and prices

Lada XRAY will be available in two main trim levels - Cross and Sport. Regardless of the version, the cars will be equipped with a basic set consisting of air conditioning, heated front seats, electric mirror lifts, a GLONASS-enabled navigator and a modern multimedia entertainment system with Bluetooth. At the same time, the second version of the crossover will be distinguished from the first version by a more powerful engine, sporty design, a new brake system and a redesigned suspension. Naturally, these improvements will affect the price, the minimum value of which will be within 510 thousand rubles.

As was already known, the front-wheel drive version of the Lada X Ray 2021, which has a Renault Sandero platform and a hatchback body, will be released first. The body length of this model will be 4.20 m, and its wheelbase will be 2.60 m. Next to start production will be the Xray Cross SUV, based on the Renault Duster with two drive options - front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. There is no information yet about which of the options will be available at the base price, which became known earlier - 500 thousand rubles.

Interior of Lada X Ray 2021

A photo of the interior of the new version of the car, offered in Russia at an affordable price, demonstrates laconic decoration, modern design, and good ergonomics. The instrument panel is not fancy, simple, but informative. The devices themselves are placed in three deep wells with a chrome frame. To the right of them is an on-board computer. A special atmosphere is provided by bright blue lighting. The stylish four-spoke steering wheel with a well-defined texture is comfortable to use. The central part is traditionally given over to the center console. For the first time, it has a 7-inch color touch screen, on both sides of which there are two trapezoidal deflectors. The interior arrangement of the new Lada X Rey 2021, offered at an affordable price, can be seen in detail in the photo. The climate control unit looks quite modest and “bare”. On it you can see only two round controls and a couple of buttons. The transmission tunnel with the gear shift panel also looks modest. The quality of finishing materials has not remained at the same level.

Engines

There is no information yet about the technical characteristics of the Lada X Ray, but there is information that the engine range will consist of a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with 114 horsepower, as well as a 5-speed manual transmission. There may be other options in the future.

Initially, it was planned to begin production of cars at the end of 2015 - beginning of 2021, however, according to new data, the Lada Xray model will begin mass production in October next year. Production will be established at the enterprise's facilities in Tolyatti and Kazakhstan.

Options and prices of Lada Xray 2021 in a new body

The domestic automaker allows you to purchase a car in a wide variety of versions:

Optima

Version with a 1.6-liter engine, which is combined with a manual transmission. Moreover, the drive is exclusively front-wheel drive, the cost of this offer is 599,000 rubles. Note that this offer is one of the most affordable in its class. The domestic automaker tried to make the car look complete. The features of this version include the installation of airbags with the ability to turn them off.

In addition, there is an additional mount in the rear seat for installing child seats. The installed locking system can be automatically locked when driving and unlocked in the event of an accident. The installed head optics are manufactured using diode technology. The braking system works in conjunction with ABS and BAS. In addition, traffic safety is improved by installing TCS, ESC, EDB. In order to ensure protection of the structure when driving in poor conditions, protection of the engine and engine compartment is installed.

Advantages and disadvantages of Lada X Ray 2021

Before you understand whether it is worth buying such a car for personal use, it is worth considering in detail its good and bad qualities.

So, the main advantages of the car include:

• low fuel consumption;
• high ground clearance;
• interesting appearance;
• affordable price and cost of further maintenance;
• no problems with spare parts;
• decent equipment of the basic assembly;
• availability of security systems;
• excellent ergonomics of the driver's seat.

The disadvantages are:

• cramped interior;
• not very high quality paintwork;
• cheap materials in interior decoration;
• rigid suspension;
• not the best dynamism;
• profiling of the front seats.

Against the backdrop of all this information, all that remains is to understand whether the new version of the familiar vehicle is worthy of being considered as a suitable means of transportation. Among the minuses, it is worth mentioning the finishing materials, which remained at the same level and require serious improvement. Ask why? Everything is simple, since the plastic is quite hard and not practical, although the fabric upholstery is very pleasant to the touch. Moreover, it is worth noting that, despite the convenient location of all the panels and the necessary buttons, it all looks somehow bare, so it also requires improvement. As for the chairs, there is also one inconvenience in the form of the fact that they completely lack a bolster.

According to specialists from the Volzhsky Automobile Plant, the branded crossover model Lada XRay Cross 2021 successfully combines in its characteristics the main advantages of a modern city car.

General impression of the Lada X Ray Cross interior

AvtoVAZ is slowly beginning to change its appearance for the better. Nowadays, Lada Xray Cross buyers are not so struck by the amateurish work of domestic engineers.

Getting into the cabin, you get the first impression of being in an average car from a European manufacturer.

The overall interior of the X Ray Cross meets 2021 trends with many useful features that increase comfort on long trips.

The presence of several shades of plastic in the interior adds individuality and allows you to immediately distance yourself from most AvtoVAZ products.

The X Ray Cross salon compares favorably with its analogues. Young drivers will feel confident in it, which increases the audience of buyers.

The chairs are upholstered in a combined material: fabric and eco-leather

The selector cover and steering wheel are covered in leather, now touching them brings a little more pleasure. Girls will love the mirror in the sun visor on the front.

Appearance of Lada X Ray 2021

In general, the new 2021 Lada X Ray is simply replete with deep stampings, original elements, and unusual transitions. Just look at the sides of the car. The graceful “dents” on the wings, as well as the clear, swift stroke of the rib crossing the lower part of the doors, catch the eye. The side glazing is a bit disappointing. Due to the high, upward sill line, the visibility of the car is “lame”. Short overhangs, a sloping roof, and a large windshield angle add dynamism to the silhouette. The updated version of the 2021 Lada X Ray hatchback received new enlarged side mirrors equipped with point turn signal indicators. The beginner's feed looks neat, concise, but quite modest.
