Lada Granta Sport: review and technical specifications

Lada Granta engines 8 valves

This power unit was installed only until December 2014, until it gave way to the 11186 internal combustion engine. This is an injection 8-valve engine with a single camshaft, a timing belt drive and without hydraulic compensators, so the thermal valve clearances here will have to be adjusted yourself. Thanks to special holes in the pistons, if the valve belt breaks, it will never bend.

There are plenty of problems with this engine; first of all, owners are bothered by all sorts of noises, knocks, and vibrations. Unreliable electrics, as well as a capricious thermostat, can throw you many unpleasant surprises. Due to poor fuel, valve burnout sometimes occurs here.

Similarly, the Motor VAZ website talks about all the details of the internal combustion engine design

This unit is an improved version of the previous one. There is already a lightweight piston with anti-friction inserts, a timing belt from Gates with a service life of 180 thousand km, an electronic throttle valve, a developed cooling jacket and many other improvements, thanks to which it was possible to fit this rather old engine into the strict EURO 4 econorms. Due to the new pistons without holes in the bottom, if the valve belt breaks, it almost always bends. Update: in mid-2021, the manufacturer equipped the unit with plugless pistons.

The list of typical malfunctions of this power unit is quite long. Owners of cars with such an engine regularly encounter burnout of valves due to bad gasoline, overheating, oil leaks, failures of various sensors, and also glitches of the E-gas system.

The technical features of the engine are described in an article in Za Rulem magazine

Lada Granta engines 16 valves

This engine is also equipped with a lightweight piston group manufactured by Federal Mogul and a belt with an automatic tensioner from Gates. It is distinguished by a 16-valve head with a pair of camshafts and hydraulic compensators, due to which its power is significantly higher.

All the problems of its predecessors apply to this unit in full. The engine often suffers from lubricant leaks, tripping, floating speed, sensor glitches and valve burnout. Plus, you can add hydraulic compensators that are very demanding on oil quality.

All technical characteristics of the engine are described on the Motor VAZ portal

The updated engine received an adjustable intake tract with dampers in the receiver channels. Also here, the mass air flow sensor gave way to a combination of absolute pressure and air temperature sensors, thanks to which the frequent problem of floating speed at idle has finally gone away.

The reliability of the new unit has increased, although it is not flawless. The thermostat also often fails, the injectors become clogged, and the ignition system malfunctions. But the main threat is the water pump, because of the wedge of which the timing belt breaks and the pistons meet the valves. Update: In July 2021, the manufacturer equipped this engine with plugless pistons.

All differences from its predecessors are described in one of the blogs on Drive 2

8 valve engine

On the Lada Granta, the car owner will find engines with 8 valves and 16 valves. They differ from each other in technical characteristics and displacement. Car owners don't like early engines because they are noisy. Some engines with 16 valves often suffer from broken belts and bent valves, which negatively affects owner reviews. But in general, these engines are reliable and last up to 250 thousand kilometers without major repairs.

Let's see what engines were installed on the Lada Granta from 8 valves:

For your information! The latest engine of the VAZ 11183 is a primitive four-cylinder engine, which was inherited from its predecessors. The only advantage of the power unit was the reliable gas distribution system. When the belt broke, the valves did not bend.

Now let’s look at the technical characteristics of the first two engines, which represent improved versions of the primitive VAZ 11183 engine.

Engine Specifications

You will see the technical parameters of eight-valve engines in the table below.

The fuel consumption of the Lada Granta engine in mixed mode is 7.4 liters. The engine torque is 132 Nm.

This is the simplest engine that is installed on Lada Granta cars: sedan or hatchback. The engine valves are not afraid of belt breakage. Unlike the primitive engine from which this power unit was created, the 1183-50 is distinguished by low-speed torque and environmental friendliness. The manufacturer assigns it the Euro 4 environmental class.

The negative aspects of the engine, according to reviews from car owners, include noise and constant adjustment of thermal valve clearances after a run of 15 thousand kilometers. If the thermostat breaks down, the engine stops heating to the required temperature.

Engine problems include burnt gaskets or valves. Because of this, the motor may operate unstably.

Despite some disadvantages, for those car owners who want to have a small and unpretentious engine, which also consumes little, this 1183-50 is an ideal solution for installation in a Lada Granta car.

Now let's look at the technical characteristics of another eight-valve engine.

This engine is an improved power unit of the VAZ 21114 model. Among the advantages, one can observe a decrease in engine noise and fuel savings.

The downside is that the pistons are lighter. Because of this, there is no room for recesses in such pistons. Therefore, when the belt breaks, the valves bend.

Device

Both engines have a cast iron cylinder block. The BC head is made of aluminum alloy. What sets them apart from other engines is their unreliable electronics, which can freeze on a frosty day or rainy weather in the summer. And the use of low-quality fuel will certainly lead to burnout of the valves.

The engine design itself looks quite reliable. Eight-valve power units last a long time with annual maintenance and prevent belt breakage.

Body design of Lada Granta Sport 2015

A review of the Granta Sport body reveals some improvements to the base version:

• new bumpers and radiator grille in a sporty style;
• door sills;
• spoiler on the trunk lid;
• 16-inch cast multi-spoke wheels;
• 12 body color options;

It should be noted that the thickness of the body paint on the sports Granta is 0.8 mm. The most popular among buyers is the Granta Sport in dark blue, an average between black and silver-gray metallic.

GRANTA liftback

The body of the new Lada Granta Liftback Sport deserves special attention, which, unlike the basic sport version of the Grant, has a larger trunk with an improved lid shape.

16 valve engine

Now let's talk about 16-valve engines for cars of the domestic manufacturer Lada Granta. These engines are already installed on luxury cars. The power of the power units has been increased, which has affected the reduction in fuel economy.

Some models are used on Lada Granta "Sport" class cars. They are distinguished by high-torque power and rapid development of speed from the start.

Technical specifications for Lada Granta

Let's look at the technical characteristics of the 16-valve engine model 21126. They are presented in the table.

What distinguishes this engine from the previous two is the presence of DAT and DTV instead of DRMV. In this way, the manufacturer got rid of floating speed at idle speed of the engine. This improved the performance of the power unit from the Lada Grant. It’s true that these engines have become a little more expensive.

A broken timing belt still bends the valve. But this is the price to pay for making the engine lighter and increasing its power.

Now let's look at another engine that was installed on the “Lux” model from Lada Grant. Technical characteristics of this engine 21127.

There is another rare engine with 16 valves. It was installed only on “Sport” model cars. The modification of the power unit is designated VAZ 2126-77. It was an upgraded model 2126 engine.

The only difference from other engines was the increase in power after the tachometer crossed the three thousand rpm mark. And its power was 120 horses. Otherwise, it did not differ from the previous engines already described.

Engine design features

The sixteen-valve engine has a cast-iron cylinder block and an aluminum head. Another advantage of these engines was the ability to cover 100 meters in 11 seconds.

The maximum speed that the engine reached was considered to be 172 km/h. This is why car owners fell in love with these engines. Although there were some shortcomings. For example, bending of valves when a belt breaks. This was followed by a major overhaul or a complete change of the power unit.

These engines showed high power, which differed several times from that indicated in the data sheet. However, they often had problems that were also different from the passport problems.

For example, the car owner’s reluctance to take the engine for regular maintenance led to a decrease in the engine’s lifespan. The gasket and pistons on these engines burned out.

The water pump broke down with enviable frequency. Especially residents of the southern regions and those who like to kill cars in difficult operating conditions cannot boast of the absence of overheating.

Motor life

The service life of sixteen-valve engines exceeds three hundred thousand kilometers if treated with care. The engine life is not lower than the eight-valve one, but does not exceed it, as can be seen from the tables above.

Despite such high engine durability, it has disadvantages that do not suit many car owners. Let's look at these disadvantages.

How to measure fuel consumption yourself?

There are two main ways to measure average fuel consumption. If the fuel consumption of your car differs significantly from the factory parameters, then it is necessary to diagnose the cause.

Test lamp method

The simplest of them, and, as it seems to me, the most biased, is carried out using a fuel warning lamp. Its essence is as follows:

1. As soon as your gas station indicator light comes on, you need to fill up with 20 liters of fuel.
2. Reset daily mileage.
3. Wait until the gas station indicator light comes on again and divide the distance traveled by 2. For example, if you have driven 300 km, then you need to divide 300 by 2 (300/2 = 150 km). This means you can travel 150 km on 10 liters. Or divide 20 by 300 and multiply by 100, it turns out that in this case your fuel consumption was 6.6 liters per hundred kilometers .

The car traveled 412 km on 20 liters

This method cannot be called accurate, especially considering that the warning lamp on the Lada Granta lights up whenever it wants, from any hill, and can even light up from a sharp press on the brake pedal (emergency braking).

From tank to tank

This method is the most accurate if you follow all the rules. Its essence is as follows:

1. If there is a minimum amount of fuel left in the tank, it is necessary to fill the tank full before the first “shooting” of the gas station pistol.
2. Reset daily mileage.
3. Wait until the fuel level drops to the minimum level (the lower the level, the more accurate the measurement will be) and refuel to a full tank again, before the first “shoot” of the gas station pistol.
4. Next, compare the daily mileage readings and the amount of fuel that fits in the gas tank. For example, if you drove 500 km and spent 41 liters of fuel, then the fuel consumption of the car will be (41/500) * 100 = 8.2 (8.2 liters per 100 km.)

It is by this method that I recommend checking the readings of the on-board computer and the actual fuel consumption of your car!

Average fuel consumption according to on-board computer

The more electronics and auxiliary things you use while moving, the greater the fuel consumption of the Lada Granta, especially for the Lada Granta air conditioner, gasoline consumption can increase up to 15%.

Malfunctions, causes, elimination

The first drawback of Lada Granta engines, as already mentioned, is the bending of the valves when the belt breaks. To avoid this malfunction, it is necessary to change it in time and visit service centers for maintenance. Then the valves will not bend, since the updated belt will last for another 100 thousand kilometers.

Young people are trying to tune the power units of cars produced by the Lada Granta plant. This includes increasing engine power. To do this, they do chip tuning, that is, they program the electronic brains of the engine, or install a turbocharger. All this leads to the rapid depletion of the engine’s vital reserves and affects its operation. A tuned engine loses 50 thousand kilometers, which it would have covered if it had been left aspirated. And that's the minimum.

Other problems are hidden in the malfunction of hydraulic valve lifters. This is also a common malfunction that car owners have to deal with. This can only be solved by installing new hydraulic pushers.

Forgetting to regularly replace filters leads to system contamination. Crumbs from used engine parts appear and travel through the oil system. It acts as an abrasive on the pistons and wears them out. The solution to this problem is to regularly replace the filter elements, especially for oil and fuel filters.

The knocking sound of the crankshaft main bearings is a concern for car owners. In this case, you need to make sure that the oil pressure in the engine is normal. Tighten the flywheel mounting bolts.

If everything is fine with the bolts and oil, then you may have to replace the crankshaft bearings or grind the journals, or reduce the clearance in the thrust bearing. As a last resort, replace the crankshaft.

Modifications of Lada Granta Sport

In the first year of production, a 5-speed manual transmission 2190 with a lever gear selection mechanism was installed.

Engine power 21126 after updating in 2021 decreased to 114 hp. and 150 Nm.

The first review of the pre-production version was presented in 2012 by ZaRulem magazine

Specifications

More details

The model is equipped with a naturally-aspirated 1.6-liter engine that produces 118 horsepower. Maximum power is achieved at 6700 rpm, and torque is 154 H*m at 4750 rpm. As a result, the car reaches the first hundred in 9.5 seconds, and the top speed is 197 km/h. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle is 8 liters and preferably 95 gasoline.

The unit is paired only with a 5-speed manual transmission. Torque is transmitted to the front wheels. Since the model has become lower, its handling has improved, but the suspension remains the same. The chassis is stiffer than before, which gives a minus to comfort, but gives a plus to a sporty ride. The electric power steering helps to steer, and the rack has been reduced and the steering wheel now turns 2.7 turns.

Another important part is the brakes, here the engineers installed a disc brake system. The front ones have a diameter of 280 mm and are equipped with ventilation, and the rear ones are 240 mm, but do not have ventilation. In general, they cope with the task assigned to them without much effort.

Lada Granta Sport - review, prices, videos, technical specifications

The debut of the first ever serial sports modification of a domestic car took place at the International Moscow Motor Show in 2012. Models with the sport prefix were produced before, however, their technical component almost completely repeated the top-end configurations of standard cars. The new product received serious improvements, a redesigned interior and a rather interesting design. Lada Granta Sport is strikingly different from regular versions. The stylish aerodynamic body kit catches your eye. The front bumper received a different radiator grille, a larger air intake and different fog lamp niches. On the sills you can also see small overlays that harmonize perfectly with the embossed rear bumper and a small spoiler on the trunk lid. The wheel arches accommodate fairly large 16-inch alloy wheels with many thin spokes. As for the interior, inside you can see sports seats with developed lateral support and other upholstery with red stitching. In general, the designers managed to give the budget sedan a more fresh and interesting look.

Dimensions

Lada Granta Sport is a four-door sedan of the subcompact class. Its overall dimensions are: length 4280 mm, width 1700 mm, height 1470 mm, and wheelbase 2490 mm. As for the ground clearance, in the Sport configuration it is 140 millimeters. Thanks to this landing, the model boasts good stability and a reduced center of gravity. It will hold the road better, even at relatively high speeds, and is less likely to roll over. If we talk about the suspension itself, it is not much different from the factory version; the front has the same independent McPherson struts, and the rear has a semi-independent torsion beam. The manufacturer installed stiffer gas-filled shock absorbers and shortened springs. It is worth noting that disc brakes are installed on each wheel. The diameter of the front ones is 280 mm, and the rear ones are 240 mm.

specifications

At the moment, Lada Granta Sport can be ordered in the Drive Active configuration. Essentially, it will be a standard car with the usual 106-horsepower engine, factory transmission and standard brakes, but with all the external trappings of a sports version. As for the Sport package, it has received several rather serious improvements.

This engine is based on a conventional naturally aspirated sixteen-valve petrol engine with a capacity of 1596 cubic centimeters. It has a simple intake manifold, without a system that changes its geometry, as well as sports camshafts with increased valve timing and lift. It is also worth noting a more efficient exhaust system with a different resonator and muffler. As a result, the engineers managed to squeeze out 114 horsepower at 6750 rpm and 154 Nm of torque at 4750 rpm. The power unit is mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Its main feature is another main pair with a gear ratio of 4.3. Thanks to this transmission and a modified engine, the sedan accelerates to the first hundred in 9.5 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 195 kilometers per hour. As for fuel consumption, it has increased slightly. Granta will consume 10.1 liters of gasoline per hundred in the city, 6.8 on the highway and 8.6 liters in the combined cycle.

Bottom line

Lada Granta Sport is a unique offer. It has a rather interesting and dynamic design, which nicely refreshes the nondescript features of a rather small car. Despite its class, such a car will not get lost in the gray everyday traffic and will attract glances, even compared to its competitors. The interior is a realm of good finishing materials, sporty ergonomics and comfort. Even a heavy traffic jam during rush hour or a country trip should not cause unnecessary inconvenience to the driver. The manufacturer understands perfectly well that the hallmark of such modifications is their engine. That is why the sedan is equipped with a simple but quite revving engine, which is a fusion of proven technologies and many years of engineering experience.

Price of Lada Granta Sport 2190 on the secondary market

On the secondary market, prices start at 250,000 rubles, but new cars cost about half a million.

Next we go to court. Don’t try your luck, we have more than thirty successful Internet projects and have already won a dozen lawsuits.

Sports cars are capable of attracting the attention of not only racers, but also ordinary fans of dynamic and careful city driving. A very attractive representative of the cohort of sports models is the product of the domestic automobile industry, namely the Lada Granta Sport.

Next, we will discuss in detail the main and important technical characteristics of this car. Note that the capabilities of the “Russian” are in no way inferior to those of its classmate foreign cars.

Let’s not go to extremes and compare the Lada Granta Sport with a 3-liter Lexus in terms of dynamic and speed capabilities, because the outcome of an irrelevant duel is obvious in advance. It’s another matter to compete with one-volume (1.6 liter) cars of foreign origin. Lada Granta Sport is favorably positioned here thanks to its affordable price combined with excellent dynamic and power performance.

Price and options

We indicated the old price tags, because the production of the model has been completed. The average price on the secondary market is 400,000 rubles.

I would like to say right away that the buyer can install almost any desired options here and this will certainly affect the price. We will discuss the versions and their prices, which are offered by the manufacturer, because we don’t know what else potential buyers might want and how much it will cost.

The basic version of the model will cost the buyer 541,000 rubles , and it has a poor interior. In more detail, it will contain:

• ABS;
• 1 airbag;
• air conditioner;
• EUR;
• on-board computer;
• leather steering wheel and gear selector;
• front electric windows;
• central locking.

The second and last trim level, which is called Luxe, has richer equipment. The cost of this version is 592,000 rubles , and on top it will receive:

• climate control;
• rear parking sensors;
• light and rain sensor;
• fog lights;
• heated windshield;
• alarm;
• heated seats;
• USB.

There was also a rumor, unconfirmed by the manufacturer, that a version with a 2-liter engine, which is equipped with a turbocharger and produces 200 horsepower, will be sold. It was said that this version would cost from 800 thousand rubles, but so far it has not appeared in the line.

As a result, I would like to say that the Lada Granta 2021 is a good car, if you look at its cost. The only problem is the reputation; many people think that the model will break down periodically and most likely it will. The rest is up to you, write below in the comments whether you like this car or not.

Lada Granta with a 16-valve engine

Since progress does not stand still, 16-valve engines have become the basis of all modern cars in the Grant line. But it should be immediately noted that the Lada Granta with a 16-valve engine quite often breaks the timing belt. In this regard, its timely replacement should be treated carefully.

This motor was developed more than 10 years ago. It is considered to be a continuation of the line of engines installed on the VAZ-21124. In turn, experts consider this engine to be one of the highest quality and most reliable, across the entire range of domestic cars.

Engine power is 98 hp. s., and the maximum speed is 5.6 thousand per minute. But the torque is no longer so impressive - 145 Nm at a speed of 4 thousand. Separately, it should be noted that some owners of cars with this engine complain about difficulties starting it when the temperature outside is below zero.

It should also be noted that the compression ratio of the cylinder is 11. As a result, the above advantages led to the fact that this engine also had some disadvantages. So, for example, during city driving, fuel consumption immediately increases to 9.8 liters per hundred. And if the timing belt breaks, the valves will be bent.

This motor was released only three years ago, so it is considered quite new. Its power is 106 hp. s., and the torque is 148 Nm, which is achieved at 4000 rpm.

Unfortunately, the service life of this engine is only 200 thousand kilometers. But there is also a positive point, which is the greater thrust of the engine, especially at the “bottoms”.

Technical aspects: motor capabilities and add-ons

The technical characteristics of the power unit are undoubtedly important for any car, not to mention sports versions. The Lada Granta Sport we are considering has quite high engine capabilities at an attractive price.

The 16-valve unit has 4 cylinders, the working volume of which is 1.6 liters. The power that the engine of the domestic model can produce reaches 119 hp. With.

Against this background, the dynamic and speed capabilities look attractive, which respectively achieve:

With such power, the Lada Granta Sport will certainly be of interest to those who like to ride with the breeze. The specified balance of characteristics allows us to classify the Russian model as one of the most profitable purchasing options offered by AvtoVAZ.

In addition to the purpose of using the LADA Granta Sport as a car to get positive emotions from high-speed driving, you can simultaneously consider the question of the applicability of the modification to everyday use in work mode. This is confirmed by a very modest fuel consumption, not exceeding 7.8 liters for a mixed driving cycle. This parameter allows the car to be suitable for long-distance voyages without the risk of incurring a large sum of money spent on fuel.

Let's touch the suspension

Here the engineers have shown skill in terms of settings that allow you to both comfortably move over uneven areas and stably cruise along the highway.

The rear suspension is moderately rigid, even despite the presence of a semi-independent design. This eliminates the car’s tendency to roll during sharp maneuvers, and is also an excellent help in terms of stability, which is important for inexperienced “Grantavods”.

Granta Sport vs Priora

Now let’s conduct a comparative analysis of the Lada Granta Sport versus the Lada Priora. Who will win this competition? Having examined the Lada Granta Sport, let's now study its predecessor, the Lada Priora. It was published in 2007, appearing four years earlier than the plant's bestseller, Grants. But even then the car showed great potential and surprised not only with its attractive design, but also with good technical capabilities, reliability, practicality, and unpretentiousness.

The Priora is in many ways reminiscent of the “ten” and is made on the same platform, but with the introduction of multiple upgrades. This is not surprising, because all AvtoVAZ projects are an evolution of experience, where one model is associated with another community of assembly technology, design, and technology. But, despite this, the concern’s experts claim that Priora is a completely different development that differs from the “ten”.

The Priora's interior was made not by domestic craftsmen, but by an Italian company. But even this move did not achieve much: after several thousand runs, creaking and noise appear inside the car. The ergonomics of the model deserves a “4” rating. Under the hood there is a good engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 98 hp. s., developing a maximum speed of 170 km/h. The car reaches hundreds in 11.5 seconds. Priora is offered in two versions:

In the basic configuration, at an affordable price, only a box on wheels is offered without any additional operating functions. But the luxury one pleasantly surprises with the presence of ABS, EBD, passenger-side airbag, and air conditioning. For a domestic car this is already a lot.

So, Granta came out much later and therefore managed to acquire more innovative solutions in the field of construction and design. The two cars are strikingly different from each other in terms of visual characteristics: shape, lines, headlight optics and many others. Here, of course, the Lada Granta takes the lead. According to technical data, 197 km/h versus 170 km/h, it clearly wins, and Granta’s equipment is much better.

The atmosphere in the Granta cabin, unlike Priora, leaves pleasant associations: it seems that you are driving a budget, but foreign car. However, in terms of price, the scales tip towards the old Priora, because it can be bought at a price of 420,000 to 520,000 rubles. depending on the configuration. So, the final score is 2:1 in favor of the Lada Granta Sport.

Salon Lada Granta Sport 2021

The interior decoration of the car will not greatly please you with its quality, but it will please you with a considerable amount of free space. The driver and front passenger will sit in good seats with mechanical adjustments, slight lateral support and red stitching. The back row is designed for three passengers, and they will be able to fit there, but it will be much more comfortable for only two passengers.

The driver will have in his hands a 3-spoke leather steering wheel with red stitching, which is mechanically adjustable only in height. The instrument panel is ordinary, but at the same time clear and informative. It has a large speedometer and tachometer and a non-color trip computer in between. To the left of the steering wheel there are selectors for turning on and adjusting the lights, and there is also a button for opening the trunk.

The center console is equipped with air deflectors in the upper part, made in the style of Renault Logan. Nearby there is an alarm button, and below it there is a 7-inch display of a multimedia system with a navigation function. A little lower there is a control unit for the heater and air conditioner; the selectors are made in the form of the usual knobs.

The model's luggage compartment is 480 liters, which makes it a formally sports car and also an everyday one.

Body features and parameters

Among car enthusiasts, there is a category whose representatives, when first getting acquainted with a car, tend to pay attention to the spaciousness of the model, and subsequently to the speed capabilities. Note that the overall parameters of the LADA Granta Sport allow for the transportation of medium-sized standard cargo, because the volume of the luggage compartment is 520 liters.

Body technical characteristics are slightly superior to those present in the “rival sister” Kalina Sport, but they are not capable of having a significant impact on increasing the degree of comfort in the cabin.

Review of sporting achievements of Lada Granta Sport

The unique sports car Lada Granta Sport is produced by the AvtoVAZ subsidiary TMS-Sport in Tolyatti. Assembly is carried out on a conveyor belt under the strict control of the concern. It is this approach that ensures the quality and popularity of this car, which is among the ten best representatives of its class.

The Sport version with special preparation also became famous thanks to its participation in international competitions, where it showed good results not only in speed and handling, but also in durability on difficult sections of the track.

Since 2012, AvtoVAZ has been conducting the Lada Granta Cup auto racing cycle, where specially prepared Granta series cars with engine power of up to 235 hp take part. These same cars later became participants in the Russian RRC Championship as part of the Touring teams.

In 2013, specially prepared Grant Sport cars took part in the WTCC World Championship in road racing for passenger cars. The factory Lada Sport team took the lead at the finish line for the first time under the leadership of Robert Huff at the 9th stage of the competition in 2014. 5th place was taken by Granta Sport at an earlier stage of the race in Moscow, driven by James Thompson.

Another distinctive feature for Lada Granta Sport was its participation in the 7th stage of the professional touring car championship RTCC, where, under the control of Pavel Kalmanovich, the LADA team took 8th place.

Let's sum it up

Purchasing a Granta Sport will undoubtedly be a profitable undertaking, since the owner, for an affordable amount of money, receives a car with enviable dynamic capabilities, excellent practicality and low maintenance costs, technical characteristics are also at the proper level. One should not lose sight of such an important aspect as the Granta’s maintainability, which positions it favorably against the background of competing foreign cars. You can seek service assistance from any station that provides such services, and you can also resort to independent repair of some components or systems.
