Do you have a Lada XRay and want to replace the original floor in the trunk with another, more rigid one? Or do you want to buy a second (double) raised floor? Then we offer you an excellent solution - an additional upper raised floor, which is combined with the original one (or it is better to install a hard lower raised floor instead of the original one for full-function use). Look at its advantages and order it from the auto tuning hypermarket Federal-Tyuning.ru at an excellent price and with delivery throughout Russia.
PURPOSE OF THE SECOND RAISED FLOOR LADA XRAY
This accessory is installed on the skids on top of the lower (original or alternative) raised floor. Exact size matching allows it to fit without gaps in the XRay trunk. The product is made of thick plywood and can withstand local loads of up to 100 kg, so you can place any loads on it that will be significantly heavier than those that the original trunk floor can withstand. The outside is completely upholstered in carpet, is pleasant to the touch and fits perfectly into the interior of the luggage compartment.
It consists of three sections, fastened together with hidden hinges, and has a hole in the middle section for easy folding. Thanks to its folding design, it can be transformed in different ways to gain access to both the space underneath (things and tools can be placed between the upper and lower floors) and the spare tire and accessories under the lower floor. When folded, it forms a flat floor.
DIY X Ray trunk floor
I haven't gotten used to the short 1st and 2nd gears yet. I haven’t figured out for myself whether this is good or bad (that they are short). When accelerating from a standstill, they need to be switched too quickly, which is not always convenient. But when taxiing through city yards, you roll in first gear, as if in low gear, without rushing. On Niva, this usually happened in second gear. In short, you need to get used to it. The 3rd, 4th and 5th gears are simply pleasing with their elasticity, allowing you to accelerate vigorously over a very wide range.
Conveniences include air conditioning and a rear view camera. On the advice of a friend who has been driving a Lada Vesta for almost a year, I set the temperature regulator to 22-23 degrees, turn on the “auto” mode and the system works quietly. It’s fresh in the cabin, but not cold, and outside it’s about plus 30. Comfortable. They say the same approach works in winter.
The rear view camera, of course, does not replace the need to look in the side mirrors. But the viewing angle in it is much wider, which is very convenient when starting out of a parking lot or rolling out of an obstacle in reverse, because You can see vehicles walking along the roadway, which sometimes you can’t see because of the car standing next to you until you lean back on the floor of the building.
But multimedia control with steering wheel switches could be made more functional. For example, you have to manually select a phone number in the address book on the screen, which is very inconvenient when moving. Isn’t it possible to “scroll through” contacts using the joystick on the steering wheel and then confirm? The same goes for choosing radio channels or audio tracks. It seems to me that this can be solved at the software level. Perhaps there are some firmwares. Need to search.
I wanted to focus on the luggage compartment and its improvement.
Let me remind you that my car was equipped with a removable lid in the trunk, which is called a false floor. It turned out that this solution is not new at all; many auto manufacturers use it on their cars. The idea itself is not bad, although it has its pros and cons, as well as opponents and supporters. Anyone who wants can do without this very lid, no question. But since it already exists, I think we need to use the positive aspects of this design.
The main advantage of a raised floor is that all small items that are not used immediately can be put away under the lid and will not get in the way when using the main compartment. Such things as a bandoleer with a tool, a warning triangle, a tow rope, a compressor, a hatchet, a small shovel and other delights that you don’t want to go to the garage for, although you don’t use them every day (like “suddenly tomorrow in forest"). The height of the space under the raised floor is not great - about 90 mm, so you can’t push much there, but, nevertheless.... If you need to get something out of the “underground”, you can lift the lid and fix it in special stops at an angle of about 20 degrees. You don’t have to fix it - you hold the lid with one hand, and with the other you take the necessary thing. Of course, if there is some cargo on the lid, it may have to be removed from the trunk first. But I think such issues of self-organization and planning are inevitable, because... You can’t foresee everything. When preparing for a long trip, more important things should initially be within reach, less important things can be moved “down”. In the end, you can generally leave this very cover at home or put it at the bottom of the trunk.
This is where the “tricky nuances” arise. The floor cover itself is made of cellular plastic and covered with fleecy material – carpet. Its load capacity is not great - about 25 kg of concentrated load (as written in the instructions) or 50 kg of distributed weight. I put a bag of potatoes in - and aha, the lid is in half! There are already stories on forums about broken or dented covers. But there are also descriptions of designs on how to strengthen these covers. Moreover, this applies not only to Xray, otherwise it will start now - “they say, this is AvtoVAZ, they can’t do anything.” The craftsmen found very simple and acceptable solutions to the situation. Their meaning is that a structure with walls is installed under the floor, which play the role of stiffening ribs and take the weight of the load placed on the raised floor. At the same time, a kind of organizer is created under the floor, so that the things lying “below” are organized and do not dangle from side to side. On YouTube there are descriptions of similar homemade products for a wide variety of cars - Kalina, Duster, Octavia, Sportridge, UAZ, Niva, etc. The processes of their manufacture and installation are shown in great detail. I haven’t seen a video about Xray yet.
A reasonable question arises for accessory manufacturers: why are there no factory organizers? After hanging around the car market looking for similar accessories for my car, talking with the sellers, I found out that such things are not often ordered, they are expensive. Even through online stores. For Xray, I have found only one thing on the Internet so far - some T-shaped plastic wall panels with Velcro, which must be installed under the raised floor in the form of partitions. Their cost without delivery is from 600 rubles each. We need three pieces. There were also photos there. Perhaps the system is working. I haven't tried it. I did it my way. Why? More on this below. It’s worth saying that I came across a video where our car colleague was finishing up a factory organizer for a KIA Sportridge. This was an interesting thing, in the form of a large plastic pencil case with a bottom and compartments for various little things. Just the right size for the trunk. Looks solid. But the guy had to replace the full-size spare tire, which was lying in a niche under the floor, with a spare tire, and select fasteners for it. This pencil case wouldn't fit any other way. If I'm not mistaken, this pleasure cost around 6000-7000 rubles. Not cheap, of course, but I wouldn’t refuse such a standard plastic organizer specifically for Xray. Alas, I have not encountered this yet.
So we come to another constructive “nuance”. Spare wheel, or rather its location. In many modern cars, the spare tire is placed horizontally in a niche under the trunk floor (and the Xray is no exception). Therefore, in order to get to it, if necessary, you need to remove some of the things from the trunk. This, frankly speaking, is not always convenient, and God forbid that it happens rarely. But there is nowhere to go, we have to adapt.
When making the organizer for my Xray, I provided the possibility of access to the spare tire. The photo shows the main points when adjusting and installing the organizer case itself. My pencil case has a bottom, consists of three compartments, and occupies half of the “underground”. The remaining half forms a fourth compartment for longer items such as a shovel. The total size of the box is approximately 940 by 360 mm. It is made of 10 mm thick plywood – these are the walls and partitions. The bottom is plywood 6 mm thick. Drawer height – 90 mm. Covered with carpet using special glue for carpet (that’s what it’s called), which I bought at the car market. The box turned out to be heavy - about 4 kg. The asking price is a little less than 1000 rubles and a week of fussing in the evening after work. On the Internet I came across an option made of foam-plastic material (I don’t remember its correct name, foam inside, plastic outside) 30-40 mm thick, also covered with carpet. Looks neat and much lighter. But it has no bottom. Having a bottom allows me to remove the entire box with all its contents at once, either “outside” or by sliding it onto the folded backrests of the rear seats, thereby opening access to the spare tire. If there was no bottom, naturally, the entire contents of the “underground” would have to be thrown somewhere. To make it easier to remove the box, there are two handles in the central partitions. On the Internet there are options for a separate homemade hatch above the spare tire (I wanted to make one for myself too), but the Xray’s spare tire niche occupies almost the entire trunk, so an option with a box was born. I tested the resulting structure with its own weight (
90kg) - sat on the raised floor cover, it didn’t even bend. Of course, from a design point of view, the organizer is not made perfectly. As they say - the first pancake, but I won’t say that it’s completely lumpy. I'll give it a ride and see how it works in the future. So far so good, because... The main goal - strengthening the lid and creating an organizer - has been achieved. Photos of the organizer are attached.
The trunk is an important element that tips the scales in one direction or another when deciding to buy a car. Especially a family vehicle, when it is necessary to regularly transport items such as a baby stroller or bicycle, or a large supply of groceries for the dacha. All this was taken into account when creating one of the most popular domestic car models - Lada X Ray. An important characteristic of the luggage compartment is not only its volume, but also the ease of loading and unloading, the possibility of transformation, and the fixation of the lid.
The new AvtoVAZ model Lada X Ray compares favorably with other cars of this manufacturer not only in appearance, but also in its impressive size:
- the length of the car is 416.4 cm,
height 157 cm,
With such dimensions, the designers were able to create a large, functional trunk without much difficulty:
- volume 376 l,
- length 790 mm,
- 900 mm wide
- 400 mm high to the luggage rack.
An important parameter is the opening of the lid, which determines the dimensions of the transported goods. In Lada X Rey it is quite impressive: it is 80 cm high and 90 cm wide.
The X-Ray trunk lid can be easily opened using an electric drive; you just need to press the lock button. The tower is 181.5 cm above the ground, which allows most people to easily walk under it without fear of being hit. The absence of a rear trunk wall makes loading and unloading the car very convenient.
If you need to transport cargo up to 170 centimeters in length, you can easily increase the capacity of the luggage compartment by folding the rear seat backs, and its useful volume will increase to 1,207 liters. With the rear seats folded down, the trunk can easily be used to sleep two people of average height, who will be quite comfortable. If you need to transport a large amount of cargo, you can fold the right front seat, which increases the useful volume to 1,300 liters.
For ease of use of the trunk space, a raised floor is provided. If necessary, it can be easily removed, and the car owner has access to the lower floor covering and spare tire. Eye bolts are installed at the corners of the raised floor, serving as fastening elements for rubber halyards, nets and other systems designed to secure cargo.
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.
Lada X Ray is one of AvtoVAZ’s best-selling models, and its spacious luggage compartment, which can easily be transformed to transport various cargoes, plays a significant role in this. Small modifications to the trunk and useful accessories will make operating the car more comfortable.
DOUBLE TRUNK FLOOR LADA
ATTENTION! When you purchase an additional lower raised floor together with the lower one, you get a unique organization for storing things and tools in your Lada XRay. The resulting double luggage compartment floor with hinged lids provides the XRay owner with an order of magnitude more options than the “native” design. At the same time, even removing the spare wheel is easy due to the unique, well-thought-out design of the product. Watch the video and see for yourself!

Installing a trunk release button in the cabin
In a similar way, you can install a button to open the trunk in the cabin.
In this case, we took a non-latching button from the central locking system from Renault Duster (article: 252108592R). Because it works on both sides, it was decided to modify it (disassemble and connect the outputs on both sides so that there is no difference where to press). We connect wires with female lugs (2.8 mm) to the button and use heat shrink. We place the button in the mirror control unit, instead of a plug. We connect one wire to the body, and the other to connector B31 of the electronics unit. In order for the button to be backlit after turning on the dimensions, we connect its third wire to +12 V backlight for the electric headlight corrector (connector No. 8, first check with a multimeter).
After all the modifications, the trunk of the Lada XRAY can be opened from four places:
- from the button on the trunk door (standard function);
- from the standard alarm key fob (standard function);
- from a button from the interior (revision);
- from the additional alarm key fob button (revision).
All that remains is to select gas struts and springs so that the XRAY trunk lid lifts automatically, as is done on LADA station wagons.
Let us remind you that we previously told you how you can use sensors instead of a regular button, as well as how to improve the lighting in the trunk of the Lada XRAY.
