Today we will be a little creative, reflect and prepare the ground for further action. And why all? Yes, because the topic of our conversation will be tuning the Lada Largus.
This is a popular car in Russia and the CIS countries, which is closely associated with the French auto company Renault and received a lot from it. Therefore, the current Lada Largus compares favorably with outdated domestic station wagons.
Yes, Largus is a full-fledged station wagon or van, as some are used to saying. Even the presence of the prefix Cross in the name does not make it a full-fledged crossover.
I would like to discuss with you possible improvements for the Lada Largus, and also separately tell you a little about the Cross version. If you are ready, then we can begin.
How to upgrade a mediocre Lada Largus station wagon to a top version for little money?
We are finalizing Lada Largus: luxury with our own hands
Chip tuning Largus Cross - small adjustments for grandiose changes
Despite its complex design and a huge number of new products in the field of automotive electronics, everyone can perform chip tuning of the Largus engine with their own hands. All you need is a little patience, computer hardware and licensed software. The latter includes:
- Combiloader loader, updated to the latest version;
- Firmware purchased strictly from the official website. For chip tuning the Lada Largus Cross, the Bosch 7.9.7 utility or the latest version January 7.2 is perfect;
- editor for configuring and calibrating firmware;
Programs and equipment for chip tuning Lada Largus
As for the equipment, for effective work on flashing the engine ECU, you need a K-Line adapter and a laptop exclusively with Windows XP. Other software will not find the firmware, which is why you will not be able to even start chip tuning.
Having all the equipment available, you can get to work. First you need to find the Lada Largus ECU. It is located behind the rear lid of the glove compartment in the station wagon. We disconnect the shield, connect the adapter and turn on the car ignition. Next, we proceed to install the programs.
First in line are the loader and editor. After their successful installation, we begin to work with the firmware. To do this, install it on your computer, indicating the final location address in the previously installed bootloader. When the latter finds the firmware, you need to configure it. In the “Settings” window you will find a lot of graphs that will help you choose the optimal characteristics for your station wagon.
Lada Largus ECU firmware
Having calibrated the firmware to your liking, turn on the ignition and proceed to the most important stage of chip tuning - installing the firmware on the engine ECU. To do this, click on the “Run” window and wait for the utility installation to complete. Once the download line reaches the end and you see the “Download Complete” window, turn the ignition back on and close the installer. Next, close the bootloader and editor and turn off the ignition. After this, disconnect the adapter from the laptop and ECU.
At the last stage, you can check the operation of your car. Provided that the characteristics are properly calibrated and chip tuning is performed correctly, you will immediately notice an improvement in car dynamics, a reduction in fuel consumption by about 20%! and more stable operation of the engine and transmission.

How to tune the interior of a domestic Lada Largus?
Let's take a closer look at tuning the gear knob in the Lada Largus. This activity is quite simple, but requires extreme care and scrupulousness. Otherwise, you risk being left without the pen itself. The thing is that you need to make holes in it into which the wires will be pulled.
We recommend: New Passat for 2 million: interior features and technical equipment
In order to carry out these actions, first we remove the handle itself and get rid of the casing. This is quite simple to do; you need to unscrew several screws that are hidden under plastic tabs. When the handle remains in its original form without casing, we proceed to attaching four LEDs.
The wires from them need to be inserted into the holes; we drill holes in the handle at a certain angle. This is where you show all your caution and restraint. After the holes are ready, we hide the wires in them. The next step is connecting the connectors. Before connecting them, do we assemble the handle and pass the wire through the resistor? which has a positive polarity, and at the output we have a current of 20 mA.
Use sealant for more secure fastenings, this way you will protect yourself from doing double work. Now it's time to connect the microswitches. In this case, we need the switch itself so that when the lock is closed, the backlight goes out and only works when the headlights or side lights are on.
To achieve this effect, it is necessary to ensure its stable operation. We take a wire, which must be multi-core, and attach it to the free end of the microswitch, then use zip ties to attach its free end to the lock rod. Next, wrap the loose wire with electrical tape. That's all, the gear knob illumination is ready.
Tuning the Lada Largus can consist not only of reworking and improving the interior, but also of changing the suspension, clutch, and engine as a whole. Alloy wheels are often installed on it. All this only adds sophistication and comfort to this car.

Modernization of the body of the Largus model
We have seen that in some cases it is not difficult to transform the characteristics of a motor, although an infusion of a certain financial resource is required.
What should an owner do if he is “satisfied” with the modernized engine, but is not satisfied with the appearance of the body? Here the saving measure will be a transformation in the exterior of the Lada Largus.
In this case, you can also lean towards two courses of action:
- perform structural transformation of body components;
- so-called cosmetic modification.
The first option involves replacing some body elements with new products, usually of an individual design. Note that a well-executed modification of this nature can not only significantly transform the exterior of the car, giving it speed and sportiness, but also significantly improve aerodynamic performance.
The most common structural modifications that most owners of Lada Largus Cross are inclined towards are the following:
- spoiler installation;
- installation of body kit on the hood (linings, buckets, intakes, etc.);
- replacing head and rear optics with more advanced and powerful lighting designs;
- the use of reinforcing components around the perimeter of the body (front grille, protective linings, skirts, etc.);
- installation of new wheels complete with tires instead of standard products;
- replacement of bumpers, exterior mirrors, etc.
Naturally, such transformations cost a lot of money and require the allocation of significant time resources.
A simpler version of the transformation will be cosmetic tuning. It involves the implementation of activities in the following areas:
- updating the paintwork of the body;
- tinting of glass, as well as optical devices;
- airbrushed designs on body panels;
- wrapping the body with various polymer materials (carbon films, vinyl, etc.);
- use of additional LED lighting sources.
Such events can provide the Lada Largus Cross with an updated look, allowing it to stand out in the gray mass of traffic. The main advantage of this method is its low cost.

Summer is hot, without air conditioning. I have Largus 16kl. Without the A/C on, you're still lucky. But no air conditioning. And if it’s still loaded, then it’s basically a pipe. It is very unsafe to maneuver on the highway. The initial joy of acquiring Largus is gradually giving way to disappointment. Thoughts about replacing the car come to mind. But I expected to skate for at least 3 years. I bought Largus last year, in August, with a mileage of 25,000 km.

| Is it because of the air conditioner that there is such pessimism? |
|
| batman01 July 6, 2013 at 7:46 pm +1 |
| It’s strange, but on the contrary, I have more than enough power, I would like less power, but I don’t really feel the fifth wheel and when loaded, I don’t feel it either, with the A/C it feels so little when accelerating, but at speed it seems like it’s with or without the A/C. Well, I really have forging It’s shod by 2.5 kg. It’s lighter from the wheel, with a very chewier forging. Not in my opinion, something’s wrong. |

| I fully agree. With the A/C you really feel like it’s “stupid”. You press on the gas, but it doesn’t move. There were also moments when I could barely complete the maneuver, even if I turned off the air conditioning, and this was with 3 passengers and an empty trunk. |

| Guys, buy a Ferrari and everything will be fine. The power is quite enough for me, an air conditioner, 6 people and a couple of decent bags - great luck. Consumption is 7.2-7.3, speed is 90-100 km/h. It's not profitable to drive faster; it costs a lot of cameras. |

| alexei July 7, 2013 at 4:43 pm +2 |
| If I understand correctly, we are talking about something else. To perform (complete) a quick and safe maneuver (for example, overtaking), when you need to accelerate sharply, the power of a loaded car, and even with the air conditioner on, is clearly not enough. So Ferrari has nothing to do with it. By the way, it happens even on more powerful cars that when you sharply press the gas pedal, the air conditioner is specially automatically turned off to obtain faster acceleration. Although after the classics, of course, the sensations seem normal. |

| 1. replace the gas station 2. for diagnostics 3. maybe change the firmware |

| EDUARD76 July 7, 2013 at 07:31 pm +1 |
| With a mileage of 2-3 thousand km with on. kondeya when accelerating, Largus twitched slightly and became stupid. Now the acceleration, although slightly dull, is without jerks and more smooth. But in the heat I don’t breathe dust and don’t listen to the “music” around me. Personally, I’m quite happy with the 16 cl. engine. The mileage is only 5 thousand km. |

| RSN July 7, 2013 at 09:08 pm +1 |
| I agree with Jeweler. Try changing the gas station. If you don’t like the car’s behavior when overtaking, change your driving style. Prepare for overtaking ahead of time. And don’t press the pedal sharply, but slowly, gradually. Loaded and with passengers, with the air conditioner on, it pulls quite well. Of course, I would like to accelerate faster, but Lars really is not a Ferrari. It can even go uphill at 60 in fifth. Kalina (the previous car) would have stalled long ago. |

| Denis 43 July 7, 2013 at 10:29 pm +5 |
| Turning the engine on, at first I also overtook in a non-Russian way, that is, I pulled 80 behind the truck in fifth, then my slippers hit the floor and my hand reached out to cross myself. Now I’ve changed the style, stuck the fourth and an arrow. 16v loves revs And the air conditioner is felt only in the city, on the highway it’s as if it’s not there if the speed is at least 80 km/h |

| In June, my whole family, me, my wife, three children + a fully loaded trunk (when my wife collected all her things before the trip + potties and a basin + two strollers - one of which is full-size - I felt bad, but the most amazing thing is that everything fit in and there was still room left) we went to Anapa. We returned on June 26. When I went there, the engine was not running yet (the mileage was just over 3 thousand km). At first I was driving and spitting, it doesn’t rush uphill, when you turn on the air conditioner, it’s basically a pipe. BUT!!! On the way back everything was great, the engine was pulling in 5th gear from 70 km and didn’t care about the load and the air conditioner being on. The elasticity was excellent. He overtook aggressively. It’s just that, as I understand it, you need to press the throttle more actively and you will be happy. On the Moscow Ring Road I was driving in the far left lane and no one blinked their headlights at me, because... moved on par with many more thoroughbred cars. In general, Denis43 wrote correctly - the engine (I have a 16 cl., 7 seats) loves revs, before overtaking, for a more active lane change, engage 4th gear, step on the gas and calmly rev up to 4 thousand revolutions - Largus flies!!! |

| Nikolsky July 8, 2013 at 03:59 pm +2 |
| Guys, I agree! You need to “twist”. I have an 8 valve. I don’t go below 2.5 thousand. Yes, and it became more economical than with tension! |

| I was also upset when, with the air conditioning on, I tried to accelerate sharply in order to pass an intersection, but it (Largus) did not drive like a carburetor “classic” with an unheated engine, but after talking with colleagues at work (one had a KIA Serato, another had a Skoda Octavia, with engines the same, even a little more, with a power of 105-125 hp) I realized that almost all cars do not drive with the air conditioning on, we need to get used to this and be prepared, now in critical cases (prolonged, steep climb, overtaking and etc.) I turn off the air conditioner. |

| protvikvik July 8, 2013 at 5:20 pm +2 |
| about overtaking has long been written on the forum - 4th gear and no problems |
|
| ddemonl July 9, 2013 at 08:31 0 |
| Maximum power (torque) at 16kl. somewhere at 3800 rpm, so 4th gear is 4000-4500 rpm, the speed is 120 km/h and no climb is scary, if the engine is below 3500 rpm I don’t overtake, I spin. In the city I don’t turn off the air conditioner (why buy a car with the air conditioner and still save money on it later???) it works on 1 (blue zone), after 3000 km when starting with the air conditioner it no longer stalls, AI-95 gasoline (Lukoil), I leave with traffic lights are usually the first, so the engine is 16kl. normal and high-torque. |

| Edik76 July 9, 2013 at 09:02 +3 |
| I read the guide and all the comments to it. I agree with those who advise, at a “critical” moment, to switch to a lower gear and “turn” the engine! This car is the only correct way to drive, the traction box makes itself felt, you will have to pay for the volume by changing your driving style! There's nothing wrong with that, so let's continue to enjoy ownership! |

By definition, 16 valve engines need to be turned, I have a 21114 1.6 16v before Largus, it has a computer, it has a warning about increasing revolutions, as soon as the revolutions exceed 5500 it starts to squeak, it’s very convenient on the highway, I stuck 3 (sometimes a second if the speed is < 45 km/h) gas to the floor and go ahead to overtake, I only look at the situation on the road, the computer beeped, yeah, it’s time to turn on the next one, it’s very convenient to focus all your attention on the road, and not on the tachometer, and you won’t go into the cutoff at the most inappropriate moment, and switching is obtained from maximum power to maximum torque, in addition to all this I keep a greater distance to the nearest car, this allows me to see the oncoming traffic much better and farther, I saw a gap sufficient for overtaking in the oncoming lane, I begin to accelerate in my lane using the distance that I leave to a passing car, in such a way that as soon as the oncoming car passes by me, I am already at speed a few meters from the passing car and go out into the oncoming lane and already at speed overtake them on the move. Sometimes this is the only chance to overtake a Kamaz and a couple of drivers who run into it, see nothing and cannot overtake, while like sheep they go bumper to bumper and never overtake the Kamaz themselves and do not allow themselves to be overtaken by those who can do it or by pilots who have not calculated their strength and do not have time to complete overtaking. In general, the main thing is not the horses, but the driver  |

| A friend switched to a Patriot from a Muscovite, he also tried to go uphill at 2000 rpm, the poor patriot howled with the transfer case and didn’t drive, I had to show him how he should drive, now uphill below 3500 rpm they won’t shift to high (but the truth is that it took some time to change the driving style in my head), but the car drives dynamically and the engine is not forced. |
|
| Yuri 77RUS August 22, 2013 at 09:35 0 |
| I completely agree. I often ride on trails, I don’t have any problems with overtaking (despite the 8th grade), the main thing is to drive correctly (don’t pull the engine and use the gearbox correctly, that’s what it was invented for) |
|
| Rio243 July 11, 2013 at 6:24 pm +2 |
| Now, my father-in-law also still can’t decide to drive a Fiat faster, and it doesn’t work for him - they say the 1.4 engine is weak. Somehow this fact got to me, I say, let me sit down...., so damn it almost presses me to the chair))) I say this, on the highway you stick fifth at 80 and press the gas on the poor guy, give him revs, you’re not eating tea on a tractor . I think many people have the same situation... Personally, I like Largus more and more. And it has enough power, and with such a gearbox and a high-revving engine, you can even take Everest loaded. |
|
| VVlad July 12, 2013 at 08:09 pm 0 |
| I changed the firmware (the failure went away when moving from 2nd to 3rd). And when overtaking sharply, I switched to 4th, turned it up to 4.2 thousand Kursk-Kerch and back, not a single complaint about the difficulty of overtaking. |

| Mileage 18500 km, luxury 16 class. I traveled with my family to the south. Half way with Conder. I didn’t notice any dullness or sluggish acceleration. It goes great. |
