The Lada Granta Liftback is built on the platform from the Granta Sedan, which means that the body dimensions are as close as possible to those of the sedan.
The width and height are the same: 1700 x 1500 mm, but the length is shorter by as much as 150 mm, and is 4246 mm. Inside the cabin, the proportions are maintained, with the exception of the free space above the heads of passengers in the rear row of seats. It was reduced by 8.0 cm. In general, no discomfort was felt. The main advantage of the Liftback model is the increased space in the luggage compartment, despite the overall reduction in body length. With the seats folded, the volume is 440 liters, when unfolded - 760 liters.
Trunk overview, what is where and where
The basic configuration of the Lada Granta Liftback does not include a remote drive to unlock the doors. In Lux versions, a mechanical button is installed on the key. To unlock the fifth door, just press the button once. Next, lift the lid mechanically by hand. Note that it is not easy, one little finger will not be enough, make an effort. Even when folded, the trunk is spacious and impressive. The perimeter is lined with felt, fleecy material. It serves as both cladding and noise reduction.
Unfortunately, there is no rubber mat on the floor, only fleecy material. If necessary, the owner can independently purchase rubber coating. Lifting the false shelf, in the center we will see a recess for the spare wheel. Moreover, the standard radius of the disks is 14 inches, but you can fit all 16 inches. Convenient and practical, since there is free space. In addition to the full tire, there is a mechanical jack and a wheel wrench. If desired, you can fit a tow rope, which needs to be purchased separately; it is not supplied as standard.

Features and disadvantages of the luggage compartment
- To fully fold the rear row of seats into a flat platform, you will need to remove the headrests. Otherwise, they will rest against the back of the front seats. The angle of the seat layout will not exceed 160 - 165°;
- To remotely unlock the rear door lock, you need to press the mechanical key fob button twice;
- Lifting the trunk lid requires a lot of effort; the door is moderately heavy;
- A solid rubber mat on a raised shelf is impractical, since with frequent use of a spare wheel or a mechanical jack, the sides touch the fleecy covering, wearing it out.
What kind of oversized cargo will fit into the trunk of a Liftback?
With the rear row seats folded, the trunk can accommodate four tires with a radius of 14 - 15 inches. Plus, there is space on the sides for storing tools, a tow rope, and a foot pump for inflating wheels.
To transport oversized cargo, within the permissible load, you need to temporarily dismantle the shelf. To do this you need:
- Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew two screws on each side at the base.
- Remove the cables from the upper loops.
Owner Tips
- To prevent the false floor covering from wearing out prematurely, buy a composite floor for the luggage compartment. As an alternative, choose Polic from Renault Logan Universal.
- To reduce the noise level from impacts of gravel and stones, install additional sound insulation. The wrapping process is simple and can be done by every car owner. No special equipment is required.
- As standard, the Lada Granta Sedan and Liftback come with two ignition keys: one black, the other black with a red layer. Always keep the latter as it unlocks both the doors and the trunk. If lost, restoration will be quite a troublesome procedure.
Engine Lada Granta Liftback
There is nothing surprising about this model in its technical specifications. Still the same engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 87, 99, or 106 hp. Motors with a capacity of 106 hp. s and 87. are installed on a car with a manual transmission, and the engine produces 97 hp. With. Installed on cars with automatic transmission. The cable drive of the manual transmission was reinforced with a secondary shaft , thereby eliminating noise when shifting gears and improving the operation of the box.
The STANDARD and NORM trim levels have the same suspension as the Granta sedan . The Lux variant is equipped with a new suspension, which, like on the Kalina model, was also supplemented with an increased stiffness spring. A test drive on unpaved surfaces showed that both options (gearbox and automatic transmission) performed well. On the asphalt surface, cracks and small holes could not penetrate the suspension. After 145 km/h, the car changes before our eyes. When driving straight on bumps, the car begins to “throw”. When turning at this speed, the car seems to be pulled off the road, which is unsafe. But the additional sound insulation of the cabin (present in the luxury package) showed itself superbly; at high speeds, the cabin became noticeably quieter.

Reviews
| № | Positive |
| 1. | Georgy: I bought Grant a Liftback before he retired. Outside the city there is a dacha, a vegetable garden, an orchard. With the onset of spring there is a lot of work, you need to transport equipment and vegetables. In this regard, the machine is simply irreplaceable. My recommendations for gardeners. |
| 2. | Sergey: For our small family of four, the Liftback is just right. Trunk space is good. If necessary, we fold out the back row and transport everything you need. |
| 3. | Vitaly: I’m leaving my positive review about the trunk capacity of the Lada Granta Liftback. By occupation I am engaged in supplying products to retail outlets. The larger the order, the greater the profit. Everything fits. |
| 4. | Georgy: I bought the Lada Granta Liftback not only for the “newness”, but also for the spacious trunk. I often go fishing with my friends, and I can’t do without “good styling.” My recommendations. |
| 5. | Vasily: the family spent a long time deciding whether to buy a Sedan or a Liftback, and ultimately chose the latest modification of the body. |
| 6. | David: I gave preference to the Liftback because of practicality and the ability to transport more things. If necessary, you can spend the night in the cabin by first unfolding the rear row of seats. |
| 7. | Vladislav: I live in a rural area and for me modifying the Sedan body is not practical. You can fit quite a lot in the Liftback, and even more when unfolded. |
| Negative | |
| 1. | Victor: there is nothing special in the trunk, it is too narrow, only 940 cm at the extreme point between the rear glasses. In Renault Logan the dimensions are 15 cm wider. |
| 2. | Vasily: the model is still crude, there are many flaws, poor noise reduction. To eliminate the shortcomings, you need to invest. It’s better to spend a few tens of thousands and buy a Renault Logan. |
| 3. | Igor: I bought a car from a dealership six months ago, there were no complaints. After several tens of thousands of miles, I often visit service stations for every little thing, modifications, and elimination of factory defects. I will sell before it's too late. |
Conclusion The size of the trunk of the Lada Granta Liftback must be given its due. The engineers did a great job, the parameters are higher than a number of European brands: Volkswagen, Skoda, Opel, Seat. Criticism regarding the lack of noise reduction is well deserved; it is a defect of the manufacturer. Considering the low cost of work, you can eliminate the defect yourself.
What are the dimensions of the trunk
The trunk of the Lada Granta is quite large and roomy. Before finding out its volume, let's first look at its dimensions. They look like this:
- length from the door to the back of the rear seat - 1040 mm;
- height from floor to ceiling (without rug) – 610 mm;
- opening width – 1350 mm;
- Width between lugs – 920 mm.
The trunk volume of the Lada Granta liftback is 480 liters. According to this indicator, the car is somewhat inferior to some competitors. For example, another popular car in Russia, Renault Logan, boasts great performance. Here the trunk volume is about 510 liters. However, this figure is difficult to consider reliable, since the manufacturer provides only a theoretical calculation. For the Lada Granta, the values are reliably established.
In addition, Renault Logan costs significantly more, and in order to save money, some car enthusiasts are willing to sacrifice a relatively small difference in performance. Plus, if you're short on space, you can expand it very easily. This can be done simply by removing the rear seat of the car. In this case, the trunk volume will immediately increase to 960 liters, and this is a very serious value.
Fuel consumption per 100 km on Granta
However, trunk volume indicators are just numbers that will tell a potential car buyer little. It is much easier to understand what we are talking about when the measurement is carried out in natural terms. At the presentation of the car, Russian President V.V. Putin tried to determine by eye how many bags of potatoes could fit in the trunk of the car. In his opinion, Granta is capable of holding two bags of potatoes at a time. Of course, this phrase could not go unnoticed, and many people decided to check how many potatoes the machine was ready to take away at a time. And experimentally, the answer was finally obtained: after dismantling the rear seat, up to six standard bags of potatoes weighing approximately 35 kilograms can fit at a time.
In addition to potatoes, almost any cargo can be transported in Lada Grant. The huge volume when folded allows you to place a wide variety of things there. For example, a bicycle can easily fit inside a car. If you have a child and you need to constantly travel somewhere with him, you can take up the free space with a baby stroller. When folded, you will have a huge amount of space. With the onset of warm or cold seasons, car enthusiasts need to think about buying new tires. The Lada Granta will fit tires for all four wheels of the car, so you don’t have to make two trips or order delivery. Even a washing machine can fit in there!
Why do Grant's revs fluctuate at idle?
It is not for nothing that the Lada Granta has earned the high title of bestseller in the domestic automobile industry. This car is indeed quite functional, while at a reasonable cost for the Russian buyer. The huge trunk is one of the competitive advantages of the Lada Grant over many other cars, including imported ones. So if you need a roomy family or work car for little money, this is a great option.
