The new product of the domestic automobile industry, Lada XRay, has been rolling off the concern’s assembly line for almost a year now and is being tested by car enthusiasts in real conditions on Russian roads.
Those who are just planning to purchase a car and choose a model for themselves, at the first stages of selection are interested in parameters that are known without testing, in particular, dimensions and other geometric characteristics, since knowledge of these parameters allows one to assess how well X Rey’s overall dimensions correspond to the class machine and engine power.
Let us consider in detail the dimensions of the Lada X Rey, dividing them into groups according to characterized parameters.
Dimensions
Lada XRay is created on the Renault Sandero Stepway platform, but with a slightly larger base.
- Length of Lada X Ray/Renault Sandero Stepway – 4,164 m/4,080 m.
- Wheelbase "Rey"/Stepway - 2,592 m/2,588 m.
- Width of Lada X Ray/Renault Sandero Stepway: along the rear wheel arches – 1.764 m/1.757 m;
- according to the mirrors when unfolded – 1,980 m/1,997 m.
The front overhang of the Lada XRay is 834 mm, the rear overhang is 738 mm. These values correspond to:
- approach angle – 21 degrees;
- departure angle – 34 degrees.
The parameters and dimensions of the X-Ray are not outstanding for a crossover, but for the declared class of this Lada model they are acceptable and quite comfortable.
You should pay attention to the fact that the width along the arches of the rear wheels of the Stepway is smaller, and wider along the mirrors when unfolded. This is explained by the large size of the Renault mirrors, while the Lada XRay mirrors are disproportionately small in relation to the dimensions of the body, as a result of which they do not provide the best visibility.
The height of the Lada XRay is quite significant - the car without roof rails is only 2 cm lower than the Renault Sandero Stepway with roof rails, but this is compensated by the larger base and width of the X Ray.
The track width of the Lada X Ray is (R-16 wheels):
- front wheels: along the axles – 1482 mm;
- overall – 1983 mm.
- along the axes – 1513 mm;
The values of these parameters, despite the ground clearance of 195 mm, ensure good stability of the car against rollover when cornering.
Multimedia firmware Lada x rey
The standard equipment of each machine is provided with a certain set of functions, which are provided by built-in multimedia, but their list can be significantly expanded. Firmware can be installed in two ways:
- - on one's own;
- - turning to professionals.
It is performed independently by unpacking certain files via a flash drive. The sequence of self-installation of multimedia x ray looks like this:
- Find a blank flash drive with a capacity of at least 4 GB and formatted in FAT 32
- Requires a computer running Windows 7,8,10
- Insert the flash drive into the MMC so that it writes the information necessary for updating
- Next, register on the Renault website
- Find and install the Renault Media Nav Toolbox program there
- Insert the flash drive into the computer, follow this path FLASH DRIVE:\NaviSync\CONTENT find and open the file brand.txt, change the word avtovaz to renault in it
- We launch the Renault Media Nav Toolbox program which will recognize the flash drive and request a login with the password specified during registration
- After successful registration, go to the update tab and click Install
- Then we find the brand.txt file back and change back Renault to Avtovaz
- Then go to the menu Navigation-My updates-Maps-Options-Update. The update will take no more than 5 minutes.
Trunk dimensions
The standard luggage compartment of the Lada X Ray, at first glance, is too small for a crossover - this impression is supported by the size of the luggage opening, which is also narrowed in the upper half:
- opening height –80.0 cm;
- opening width – 99.0 cm.
However, the trunk volume in the standard configuration is 361 liters, and the internal dimensions are:
- length – 79.0 cm;
- width – 90.0 cm;
- height (up to removable shelf) – 40.0 cm.
Folding the rear seat backs allows you to increase the volume of the luggage compartment to 1200 liters, and the length to 1700 mm. The diagonal length of the trunk will be 1850 mm. An additional folded front passenger seat will increase the volume of the luggage compartment to 1300 liters, and the large diagonal to 2500 mm.
The loading height of the Lada XRay is 730 mm - a considerable amount, but the trunk lid in the open position is at a height of 181 cm, which allows you to safely walk under it during loading.
Pros and cons of the trunk
The trunk volume of the X-Ray is really small, but if you fold the rear seats, the displacement increases several times, which allows you to transport long cargo, such as skis or construction boards.
Volume is volume, but what about comfort inside the luggage compartment? Everything here is quite good: there is nothing superfluous in the trunk, the floor is perfectly flat, and the wheel arches are hidden from the owner’s eyes and do not protrude from the sides. The top shelf can be removed if necessary.
The luggage compartment is lined with high-quality, durable plastic; the compartment is illuminated in the form of a small lamp located on the left wall.
There are also small hooks on the walls so that you can hook the shelf. An interesting feature of the trunk of the Tolyatti crossover is the double floor.
Interior dimensions
The interior of the Lada X Ray, like the trunk, is small for a crossover, but this is due to the size of the body. The maximum height of the cabin (from floor to ceiling in the middle part) is 1220 mm, its width at shoulder level is the same along the entire length - 1330 mm.
The front seat cushions are located at a height of 180 mm from the floor, the rear sofa – 260 mm. The distance between the backs of the front and rear seats is from 600 to 815 mm.
The front seats have enough room for a comfortable posture, but when moving them back, second-row passengers are forced to find an acceptable position for their legs.
All doors open wide enough, and the rear door openings are wide enough for loading onto the sofa and transporting large cargo.
The level of the “window sills” of the side windows of the Lada X Ray is too high, which visually adds strength and consistency to the body, but reduces side visibility.
The top-end XRay configuration has a multimedia system in the cabin with a 7-inch diagonal color display, which, given its diagonal size, is not loaded enough with information and contains, apart from the fuel level, only one of the displayed parameters.
Lada XRAY Cross, integrated roof rail (11 products in category)
Roof rack for Lada XRay Cross - which one to choose?
First of all, let us clarify that the Lada Xray Cross has “integrated” roof rails, i.e. without clearance, and they will not fit racks for simple roof rails. Therefore, in this section we have selected options specifically for integrated roof rails.
Our online store offers racks (cross members) from 2 well-known Russian manufacturers - Lux and Eurodetal. Each of them has in its assortment several types of transverse arches with which you can combine the trunk. We will answer several popular questions when choosing a trunk for the Lada Xray Cross.
1) Which trunk is better: Lux or Eurodetal? What is the difference?
The main difference is that the Eurodetal trunk has a smaller height and fits more “closely” to the roof, while the Lux is 4-5 cm higher. It follows from this:
— For the aerodynamics of the car, Eurodetail is better, because firstly, it more accurately matches the contour of the car, not particularly standing out in height, and secondly, it shifts the center of gravity upward less when the top trunk is loaded.
— If you often transport things that can sag, hang down, or have curved ends, then in this case it will be better for you to have a trunk with an increased distance from the roof, i.e. Luxury
2) Are there any differences in the mounting of Lux and Eurodetail?
Yes, I have. Eurodetail supports compress the railing from the inside and outside (as well as from above) with tightened rubberized brackets, while the Lux fastening is based on a pair of metal clamps corresponding to the shape of the railing, which are also tightened with bolts inside the support.

3) What about the castle?
Both Lux and Eurodetail have an additional option - the possibility of assembling the support with metal numbered locks (Eurodetail has a set of +500 rubles, Lux +650 rubles). As standard, the supports come with plastic locking cylinders.
4) I do not live in Ufa, how can I order a trunk?
We ship throughout Russia using the SDEK delivery service, including cash on delivery. You can submit a request through the website (by adding the item to the cart), by phone, by email or via online chat. On average, delivery cost is 300-400 rubles, delivery time is 4-7 days.
We can also send to any of the federal transport companies (PEC, Energy, Business Lines), and if they are not available in your city, by Russian Post.
5) What kind of trunk is Turtle Air 2? What are its advantages?
The Turtle Air 2 luggage rack is a product from the Turkish brand Can Otomotiv, which has been operating in the car accessories market for more than 20 years. The main advantage of the Turtle Air 2 trunk is the “merging” of supports and arches - the aerodynamic arch smoothly enters the support without extending beyond its limits (and the roof). This solution is ideal both from the point of view of the aesthetics of the car and from the point of view of aerodynamics - the trunk is almost silent, which is confirmed by reviews from car owners.
It is also worth clarifying the additional advantages of the Turtle Air 2 trunk - all supports initially have metal locks, the points of contact with the railing are equipped with rubber pads, and the outer base of the support is rotated by 4 degrees to more accurately match the profile of the railing. In addition, you can choose the color of the arcs: black or silver.
Lada XRay wheel sizes
The standard tire sizes are 195/65 R15 or 205/55 R16, indicated in the technical specifications of the hatchback, and R is not the radius, but the radial design of the tire. All configurations of the Lada X-Ray, except for the most budget-friendly Optima, are equipped with 5-spoke alloy wheels that harmonize well with the exterior of the car.
According to advanced X-Ray owners, tires of the following sizes can also be painlessly installed on the car: 185/55 R17, 195/50 R17, 205/50 R17, 225/45 R17, as well as 175/50 R18, 195/45 R18 , 215/40 R18, 225/40 R18 and even 175/45 R19, 185/40 R19, 195/40 R19.
All electronics that provide ABS are configured for factory wheel sizes, so for safety reasons, after installing wheels of other sizes, it is necessary to flash the ABS/ESP control unit to a new tire size, and this operation is performed only at authorized dealers.

Options for modifying the luggage compartment of a car
The trunk of the Lada X Rey, despite its impressive size, can be significantly improved by installing additional accessories, such as organizers, which can be purchased at spare parts stores. The most popular organizer for X Rey is the one that is installed under the trunk shelf. It serves to store things and prevent them from randomly rolling while the car is moving. The organizer itself does not take up space, allowing you to easily reach your packed items. It is easy to install and remove, as it has a simple plastic design.
You can make a convenient organizer with your own hands, installed under the raised floor. This accessory is made from a sheet of plywood; to improve its decorative qualities, the parts are covered with artificial leather or covered with other decorative materials. Drawings of parts for manufacturing the structure are shown in the figure.
Organizer parts, where “t” is the thickness of the plywood.
A very useful addition will be a special pad on the lower part of the trunk opening, which protects it from damage during loading and unloading operations.
The cover is made of ABS plastic, which has high strength characteristics, is scratch-resistant, and looks beautiful. The protective element is easily attached to the lock eye and the trunk seal. It would be a good idea to purchase a rubber mat that will protect the carpeted surface of the luggage compartment from contamination.
To protect the interior from extraneous noise penetrating through the trunk and resulting from impacts from gravel, stones, water and air flow, it is advisable to soundproof the compartment. For this purpose, you should purchase special soundproofing kits; their parts are easily glued to the bottom of the trunk and are made according to special patterns. As a rule, this is a three-layer coating consisting of a vibration-proofing layer, a substrate and a sound insulator.
