A whole generation of people has grown up with the rule learned at their mother's knee: if you want to close the door on a Lada, you have to give it a good "whack" like a refrigerator door. But now they will have to break that bad habit - Lada doors will close effortlessly! Otherwise, they will simply break the new locks, which are not designed for strong guys.
As far as we understand, this is not entirely the merit of Russian engineers. Such a radical update required a decisive decision from a foreign specialist in the person of AvtoVAZ president Bo Andersson.
His words are eloquent: "Why hide it, historically it happened that earlier on Lada Granta cars the doors were hard to close - now this problem is gone. The body is stable, the seals are improved, the locks work perfectly. The hood and trunk close better. In my opinion, the key advantage is a very reliable and modern body. I am satisfied with this car. Now we need to ensure that quality and prices remain stable," Bo stated.
According to our information, the Lada Granta hatchback will be available at dealers in Russia for a sum from 314,000 to 477,500 rubles. Even in the base version, there will be a driver's airbag, parking lights combined with daytime running lights, a height-adjustable steering column, and a central locking system. The main thing is that it's not on a latch...
If you want to have ABS, an onboard computer, electric power steering, power windows, an outside temperature sensor and Bluetooth, climate control, and a multimedia system with a touchscreen, you will have to pay extra for that.
Let us remind you that Autoportal conducted the first test of the Granta with an automatic transmission.
