Replacement of VAZ 2107 with Lada Grant

The hype around the appearance of AvtoVAZ's new super creation, the Lada Granta, has already passed, which has become a replacement for the familiar 2107. For a long time, all the owners of the classics have been waiting for the moment when the Lada Granta will come to replace the seven in order to change the classics to a new modern front-wheel drive car Lada Granta. Of course, the seventh model Zhiguli is long gone, since 2101 years have passed since the first car from this series, and it was the VAZ 42, and during all this time an injector and a 1,6-liter engine have been installed on “new cars” . That's all the modifications for 42 years of production. No country in the world has been producing the same car model for 40 years, but in Russia everything is possible.

Replacement of VAZ 2107 with Lada Grant

But finally everything changed and a new Lada Granta came to replace the VAZ 2107. This car is already more modern, front-wheel drive makes the car more maneuverable and manageable, and the cross-country ability with front-wheel drive is better than that of the classics. The noise isolation of the Seven's cabin is clearly inferior to Grant, and the Grant engine itself is much quieter and more pleasant than on the Seven. As for the free space in the cabin, here zero seventh also remains in the tail of Grants, and the comfort of the cabin is also at its best. The seats are more comfortable, not as hard as in the seven. Replacing the steering wheel on Grant is also good news, although here the designers of AvtoVAZ did not repeat their past mistakes, and did not put the steering wheel from the previous car model, for example, from Kalina.

The entire filling of the “classic” was replaced by the replacement of the appearance of a new budget car. Let's just say that the appearance of Grants, of course, is not ideal, but it will be prettier than the classics, and more in line with modernity. The capacity of the seven will also be smaller than that of its replacement. The trunk of the new state employee is simply huge, 4 bags of potatoes will easily fit in, it is even larger than on Kalina Universal. But with the increase in the trunk, I had to sacrifice the appearance, since it is precisely because of the trunk that the Grants from the back do not like the appearance so much. The doors are the same Kalinovskie, the door locks are also internal, silent, but the trunk lock and the trunk itself closes just awful, the roar is just crazy, the metal rattles like a tin can when it slams shut.

What has not been replaced is the drive for adjusting the light beam of the headlights, on the Zhiguli it was hydraulic, and it was inherited by Grant, although on Kalina and Priora there is already electrical adjustment, which is much more convenient. But replacing the engine is a huge plus, now instead of the 76 horses that were on the VAZ 2107, under the hood of the Lada Granta there is an engine with a capacity of 90 horsepower, due to the lightweight connecting rod and piston group.

Although the new state employee cannot be called ideal, but still, in fairness, we can say that Lada Granta is a replacement for the classics, and the difference between these cars is at least 40 years old, and this difference is simply huge.
