VAZ 111730 technical specifications

This is the Lada model

The Lada Kalina station wagon (factory code VAZ 1117) appeared on the country's roads in early 2007. This car was developed on the basis of the VAZ 1118 sedan, which entered the market 3 years earlier. Like all cars of this model range, Kalina 1117 was created for intensive driving in urban conditions and, depending on the configuration, was equipped with 2 different injection engines, which provided the car with excellent dynamics. Despite similar speed and technical characteristics, the station wagon had a number of advantages compared to a hatchback car. Firstly, it was 19 centimeters longer, which significantly improved the comfort of rear seat passengers and increased the volume of cargo carried. Secondly, the station wagon’s ground clearance is 2.5 cm higher, which ensures better cross-country ability on snowy and dirt roads.

During the production process, the machine was constantly modernized. In 2010, buyers were surprised by the new interior design. In 2011, the car began to comply with EURO 4 environmental standards and received an electronic gas pedal. But despite constant updates, in the spring of 2013 the 1st generation station wagon was discontinued.

Vehicle configuration

Inside the car

The Lada Kalina family was created on the VAZ 2108 platform. The progenitor of the new model received a significantly redesigned chassis, as well as the layout of the power unit and transmission. The angular shapes completely disappeared from the exterior; in general, it could be called modern and inviting. All hard plastic parts have been removed from the interior. The panels became soft and warm, this was especially noticeable in cars produced in 2010-2013. In general, a description of all the changes that the mother platform has undergone can take several pages, so let’s note the main thing: the car has become many times more convenient and safer than the Lada Samara.

From the very beginning of production, the station wagon was offered in 2 trim levels:

The first configuration had the following set of free options.

Adjustable steering column.
Central locking.
Power windows for front doors.
On-board computer.
14-inch wheels.
Electric power steering (only in package 11173-140-40).

The luxury version, in addition to everything described above, was additionally equipped with air conditioning and an anti-lock braking system (ABS).

Presentation of the car at the factory

The cost of the top version without ABS in 2013 was 360,000 rubles. For an additional fee, it was possible to install front airbags, foglights and heated front seats. The price of such a package of options was from 25,000 rubles.

Since 2007, the Lada Kalina has been equipped with 2 naturally aspirated gasoline engines:

VAZ 21114 - 1.6-liter, 8-valve, 81 horsepower;
VAZ 11194 - 1.4-liter, 16-valve, 89 horsepower.

Depending on the model of the power unit, the station wagon was designated as Kalina 11173 or Kalina 11174. It is important to note that the 8-valve engine was installed only on cars in the “norm” configuration. The 16-valve engine was mainly installed on cars of the “luxury” configuration, but for an additional fee it could also be installed on the Kalina “norm”.

Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of Lada Kalina 1117

The body of an undamaged car resists corrosion quite well in the first years of operation. Then the rust begins to spread, usually from the edge of the hood or doors. The paintwork is not very durable; chips appear quickly and immediately turn yellow.

Inexpensive finishing materials, assembly flaws and no sound insulation mean that the owner has to put up with numerous noises and knocks from the first km.

Another headache is electrical failures. Anything can break: central locking, air conditioning, radio, power windows and the entire panel.

The 1.6-liter VAZ 11183 engine is the weakest in the line of power units. The 8-valve engine is noisy and prone to vibration, but does not bend the valve causing the belt to break.

The 1.4-liter VAZ 11194 engine is slightly more powerful thanks to its 16-valve head. It was created specifically for Kalina, but has a bad reputation due to the oil-eater.

The 1.6-liter VAZ 21126 engine is the newest, most powerful and reliable in the line. It was installed in the Lux configuration, so it is much less common than we would like.

Advantages and disadvantages of a station wagon

According to the manufacturer, the Lada Kalina 111730 is the most widely used. The technical features of this modification of the car best meet the “price-quality” criterion.

Customer reviews indicate that the station wagon has both pros and cons.

Lada Kalina is a fairly liquid car. You will not lose money when selling it on the secondary market. Young people love this car very much. In addition, tuning a car is a real pleasure.

Comparison of different generations of Lada Kalina

The main and most obvious difference is the appearance. After restyling, Kalina received a new massive bumper in a modern design. The optics of the headlights have also changed, which is now complemented by daytime running lights. By the way, when the car was presented at the Moscow Motor Show, the DRLs were LED, but they are no longer available in the production model.

Changes are also visible from the side, and they are mainly caused by the bumpers. If the front one turned out to be massive, then the rear one, on the contrary, is small. The taillights have changed slightly in shape, and now part of them extends more to the side. The changes are also noticeable when looking at the rear headlight unit: they have become much larger and look more interesting than on the first generation station wagon.

Changes in the cabin

The interior has changed significantly after the change of generations. The developers began to use a completely different dashboard and a different instrument panel. There is no trace left of the first generation design. Controls for a modern climate control system have appeared. Depending on the configuration, a multimedia system with a touch screen can be installed. The display is located at the top and is covered with a special visor that prevents glare in bright sunlight. All controls are placed in separate blocks. The side air ducts are Granta style, but the center console uses rectangular vents.

The Lada Kalina station wagon, grade 4, is a regular Kalina of the poor standard “norm” package, shown in the table below. It can be added that the upholstery of the seats is a tapestry of average quality, there are brackets for securing cargo in the luggage compartment, a carpet for the back of the rear seat, and a sun visor with a mirror.

The number series in the model indexing gives an idea of the main characteristics of the car.

The first 4 digits indicate the body type: 1119 corresponds to the hatchback body, 1118 – sedan, 1117 – station wagon.
The fifth digit identifies the power unit option: 3 indicates the 1.6l 8v engine, 4, respectively, the 1.4l 16v engine.
The sixth digit indicates the level of environmental friendliness according to the European standard: 2 – EURO-2, 3 – EURO-3.
The seventh digit indicates the level of equipment, i.e. vehicle configuration: 0 – standard, 1 – standard, 2 – standard with luxury elements, 3 – luxury, 4 – standard.
The eighth and ninth digits indicate the engine model: 43 – 21114, 01 – 11183 (1.6L) or 11194 (1.4L).
The tenth digit indicates options: 9 – 14-inch wheels (for the “standard” configuration), 6 – ABS + climate control, 5 – ABS, 4 – climate control, 0 – no options.

Timing diagram Lada Kalina 8 valves

1 - crankshaft toothed pulley
2 - coolant pump toothed pulley
3 - tension roller
4 - rear protective cover
5 - camshaft gear pulley
6 - timing belt
A - boss on the rear protective cover
B - mark on the camshaft pulley
C - mark on the oil pump cover
D - mark on the crankshaft pulley.

Another feature of the engine is the location of the water pump (pump), which is rotated by the same timing belt. That is, in case of coolant leaks or characteristic noise/whistle/hum in the timing drive area, checking the belt is mandatory. If the pump bearing crumbles and the belt comes off, then in addition to replacing the water pump housing and belt, you will also have to go through the cylinder head, removing bent valves from there.

AvtoVAZ uses a very reliable Gates belt as the original belt. Often the service life of the Gates belt is much higher than the service life of the pump and tension pulley of the Lada Kalina 8-valve engine.

At the same time, one must keep in mind that the second and third groups of numbers are sometimes swapped.

Over the years of production (since 2007), this VAZ model has come somewhat closer to the category of inexpensive foreign cars, not only in price, but also in consumer qualities. In any case, there are few complaints about the car. The seating position is excellent, it holds the road well, consumes gasoline economically, and breaks down much less frequently than the previous generation of VAZ cars. It's a bit noisy - that's true. But, as the owners say, for that kind of money this is not a complaint. Logans and Chinese models cannot be compared with Kalina.

Black Kalina

Good day!

After the Chevrolet Lacetti station wagon left, the need for a car arose. The budget was quite modest, so I tuned in to the domestic auto industry. My father’s Volga 3110 didn’t particularly bother me, I drove it a lot, the 11th model also served faithfully, only it began to corrode in the area of the rear wheel arches. I was looking closely at the Kalina, and only in the station wagon body, fortunately there are a dime a dozen of them. The experience of owning two station wagons required something more or less practical, so this was a good option. Why not Priora? There are two answers: 1) the model grew out of the VAZ-2110, that is, the design was initially quite stale; 2) prices for used Prioras of the same years were higher than for Kalinas.

Soon I came across a black car from 2010 with roof rails (they perfectly complement its appearance and are very useful for a practical owner), a 1.6 liter 8v engine, fog lights and a set of R14 winter tires on rims for great money. A friend looked at it and generally approved of it. The car found a new owner in me, I am the second one in the title. My lady kept getting indignant about the lack of air conditioning, but I got used to it without it.
