When buying a Lada-Largus in any body and interior layout, car enthusiasts have two main tasks: the first is to organize comfortable and inexpensive travel on the roads of our vast country, and the second is to obtain a vehicle with a large luggage compartment and good carrying capacity. As practice shows, the model succeeded in both of the presented plans, thanks to which it was able to gather a large army of fans throughout the CIS.
A number of articles on our resource discuss in detail all the components and features of the Lada-Largus, with the exception of one thing - the luggage compartment of the car. In today’s material, this shortcoming will be corrected, or rather, we will highlight in all details the concept of the model’s trunk, its volume and compare it with its competitors. Well, let's get started.
Trunk of Lada-Largus: basic characteristics
Many car enthusiasts know that the Lada-Largus is available in three body styles:
- standard station wagon (5-seater);
- high-capacity station wagon or minivan (7-seater);
- van (2-seater).
As standard, each model variation has a certain trunk volume. The largest trunk on Largus is in a van, which is not surprising at all. The luggage compartment in this version of the model is increased, primarily due to the absence of one or two sofas for passengers, as well as due to the enlarged body as a whole. According to official information, the trunk volume of the Lada-Largus in a van body is about 2500 liters. This model is devoid of any unnecessary elements in the cabin and luggage compartment, as it is intended for the transportation of large cargo.
The next size variation of the model is a standard station wagon with 5 seats for passengers and the driver. The standard trunk volume of this car is 700 liters. However, if you want to transfer a fairly large load, any owner of the model can dismantle the second row of seats (3-seater sofa), thus increasing the luggage compartment to 1500-1800 liters. Of course, a station wagon of this type is not intended for cargo transportation, but if necessary, it can be used for this.
The Largus minivan variation has the smallest trunk volume. Due to the fact that the model is equipped with as many as 7 seats for passengers and the driver, the luggage compartment has a capacity of about 200 liters. But here, too, there is a trick: without any problems you can dismantle the 2-seater and 3-seater sofa, which allows you to increase the trunk to the same as that of a standard station wagon with a similar procedure, 1500-1800 liters.
Despite this functionality of the Lada-Largus interior and, in particular, the trunk of the model, it is worth understanding that station wagon versions have slightly smaller dimensions and are not intended for transporting large cargo. Considering this fact, we can state: they cannot be used for frequent transportation of large items. And it’s inconvenient to remove the seat set every time, although, by the way, this manipulation in the Lada-Largus is carried out extremely simply.
Important! In addition to the special design of the body and interior, the Largus van body is additionally equipped with reinforced suspension, since its main purpose is to transport heavy luggage and not in small volumes. “Universal models” cannot boast of this.
In general, the luggage compartment of the Lada-Largus has the following dimensions (data presented in mm):
- trunk opening height - 920;
- trunk opening width - 980;
- height to ceiling - from 870 to 930 for station wagons and about 1000 for a van;
- width inside the luggage compartment - from 1000 at the level of the arches to 1450 at the level of a person’s shoulders;
- trunk length from the opening to the 3rd row / to the 2nd row for station wagons - 480/1570;
- the length from the trunk to the dividing wall of the van is about 1800.
As you can see, the dimensions of the Lada-Largus trunk are quite impressive.
What is included in the trunk of a Lada Largus van?
The trunk of a station wagon and a Lada Largus van have approximately the same figures. The difference is that the back row of seats was removed from the van and an all-metal partition was installed. The van's pillar cups were also strengthened to allow the vehicle to carry heavier loads.
Thus, the trunk was designed so that a Euro pallet measuring 80x120 cm could easily fit into it.
What you can see in the following photo:
Comparison with competitors
By its nature, Lada-Largus has few analogues on the Russian market and the CIS car market. This is largely due to the weak demand for the B-class in the post-Soviet space. Despite this, it is quite possible to highlight some parallels and compare a number of similar models in terms of cargo transportation.
First of all, we note that among the most popular competitors and analogues of the Lada-Largus in the CIS there are simply no such load-lifting models. Just think, but the brainchild of AvtoVAZ is capable of transporting up to 800 kilograms in its “van” variation and about 650 kilograms in the “station wagon” variations. None of Largus’ competitors can boast of such data. Moreover, on average, among car analogues, the load capacity ranges from 450 to 650 kilograms, which, frankly speaking, is not much.
In terms of capacity and overall size of the luggage compartment of the Lada-Largus, everything is not so rosy. Yes, the car is not a clear outsider in this regard, but it is not among the leaders either. A similar trend is clearly visible in the comparative table below:
Despite this, two positive features of the model can be highlighted in favor of the Lada-Largus relative to today’s comparison:
- convenience in terms of loading luggage: wide opening of the trunk door and side doors (up to 180 degrees) - something no competitor can boast of;
- a price category that is usually lower than that of its main competitors.
Important! In the totality of all the indicators characterizing the “luggage issue” between the Lada-Largus and its competitors, the Russian model may be inferior in some places, but overall it looks extremely worthy and can quite rightly be called one of the most functional in this regard.
How many liters are in the Kia Seltos tank if the light on the dash comes on?
Alas, everyone is familiar with the situation when the fuel in the tank is rapidly running out, and a light with a gas station icon lights up on the dashboard, thereby informing the driver that it is necessary to visit a gas station.
But not everyone knows when a light bulb goes on. Obviously there is still gas in the tank, but how much? According to my personal observations, the lamp on the dashboard lights up when there is less than 10 liters of fuel left in the tank. This amount of gasoline will be enough to get to the nearest gas station if you are within the city.
You can drive from 50 to 100 km with a burning lamp, but you shouldn’t wait until the last minute, but it’s better to immediately stop at a gas station and fill up with fuel. Firstly, we may simply not get to the gas station. Secondly, the fuel pump is cooled and lubricated by fuel, and if the gasoline level is low, it may simply fail. Thirdly, dirt always accumulates at the bottom of the fuel tank. If there is little gasoline, dirt will rise from the bottom and enter the fuel filter, which will lead to its rapid clogging.
Pros and cons of the luggage compartment of the Lada-Largus
Summarizing the review of the Lada-Largus trunk, it would be useful to consider its advantages and disadvantages, which are noted by the owners of this model. Surprisingly, car enthusiasts point out only one drawback to the luggage compartment of a car, and that applies exclusively to variations in the station wagon body. More precisely, many car owners do not like the fact that the interior of these model variations was not adjusted well enough for the possible transportation of large cargo. There are often cases when careless transportation damaged some elements of the interior. Otherwise, all Lada-Largus owners only praise the trunk of their car.
Having highlighted the main advantages of the luggage compartment of the Russian model, our resource has compiled the following list of them:
- previously mentioned - convenience in terms of loading luggage;
- excellent dimensions;
- ease of expanding the size of the compartment by easily removing the seats;
- good load capacity of the machine;
- absence of unnecessary elements in the compartment decor;
- simplicity and general literacy of the layout;
- possibility of modernization.
Regardless of the area of use of their car, most Lada-Largus owners are satisfied with its luggage compartment. In general, there are only positive reviews about the model’s trunk.
As you can see, the dimensions of the luggage compartment of the Lada-Largus are large enough and convenient for operating this vehicle. In combination with a competent layout and general principles of constructing a trunk, the model in terms of cargo transportation manifests itself exclusively on the positive side. Definitely, regarding this parameter of the machine, it can be recommended for purchase. We hope the material presented above was useful to you. Good luck on the roads!
Video review of the Lada-Largus trunk:
Characteristics of Lada Largus
unique when compared with the characteristics of other domestic cars. The first 7-seater affordable station wagon appeared thanks to the French concern Renault, which has been assembling Logan in a universal body in Romania since 2006.
The domestic one has two power units from Renault with a capacity of 84 and 105 horsepower. The 1.6 liter petrol engine has two versions with 8 and 16 valves. But the main distinguishing characteristic of the Lada Largus is, of course, its dimensions and huge wheelbase, which made it possible to accommodate the third row of seats.
- Length – 4,470 mm
- Width – 1,750 mm
- Height – 1,636 mm (with rails 1,670)
- Base, distance between front and rear axle – 2,905 mm
- Front and rear wheel tracks – 1469 and 1466 mm, respectively
- Trunk volume – 560 liters (in the 7-seater version 135 liters, in the van 2,540 liters!)
- Fuel tank size – 50 liters
Ground clearance Lada Largus
is 160 millimeters. The most interesting thing is that the Romanian brother Logan MCV has a smaller one. However, the Russian version received a stronger suspension, and with it an increase in ground clearance to 16 centimeters.
Mass Lada Largus
is 1,260 kg (full 1,750) in the five-seater version. The seven-seater Largus has a curb weight of 1,330 kilograms (total 1,810). The Lada Largus van weighs 1,260 kg (full 2,010), so the cargo-passenger version can carry an additional 750 kilograms.
Characteristics of the Lada Largus transmission
Next, the station wagon is a front-wheel drive car with a single Renault 5-speed manual gearbox. The gear ratio of the main pair is 4.5 for an 84 hp engine. and 4.2 for an engine of 105 horses. The most interesting thing is that for a van where only a low-power motor is installed, this number is 4.9.
More precisely, two Renault engines with 8 and 16 valves. The petrol power unit with a displacement of 1.6 liters has a power of 84 and 105 horsepower, respectively. So, the engine is 1.6 liter 8-valve 84 hp. –
- Power hp/kW – 84/62 at 5500 rpm
- Torque – 124 Nm at 3000 rpm
- Maximum speed – 156 kilometers per hour
- Acceleration to the first hundred – 14.5 seconds
- Fuel consumption in the combined cycle – 8.2 liters
Largus engine parameters 1.6 liter 16-valve 105 hp. –
- Power hp/kW – 105/77 at 5750 rpm
- Torque – 147 Nm at 3750 rpm
- Maximum speed – 165 kilometers per hour
- Acceleration to the first hundred – 13.1 seconds
- Fuel consumption in the combined cycle – 7.9 liters
Tire size Lada Largus 185/65 R15
. Moreover, on cheap station wagon trim levels there are 15-inch steel wheels, on more expensive ones they are cast alloy. If in the Lada Granta, for example, the wheel size varies from R13 to R15, then in the Largus there are only 15 inches.
For most car enthusiasts who have chosen the Lada Largus as their faithful road companion, practicality is usually a priority, and trunk volume plays an important role. Behind it are two global concepts related to providing such convenient options as:
- achieving comfortable movement when loaded on roads with different surfaces;
- getting a car that can surprise you with its carrying capacity and spaciousness of the luggage compartment.
In practice, many owners have verified that the Lada Largus fully complies with these two aspects. This allowed the universal “Russian” to capture the “hearts” of car enthusiasts not only in the domestic space, but also to prove itself in the market of the CIS member countries, because the trunk size is quite acceptable, and the car also has 5 seats.
In our material, we intend to highlight the features of the luggage compartment of this model in comparison with classmates, who are also competitors, and we will also clarify the size of the luggage compartment.
Equipment Lada Largus
The Lada Largus 5-seater is a truly family car thanks to its spacious 560-liter trunk and spacious interior, which can comfortably accommodate 5 passengers. The trunk volume easily increases to 2350 liters. by folding the rear seatbacks. In a 7-seater station wagon, these figures are 135 and 2350 liters, respectively.
Standard equipment for the five-seater model:
- driver's airbag;
- the ability to adjust the height of the steering wheel and driver's seat;
- Isofix child seat mount;
- power steering;
- ABS system;
- central locking;
- electric drive and heated mirrors;
- roof rails for luggage up to 80 kg;
- metallic color;
- standard immobilizer and alarm system;
- steel wheels R15.
Seat heating Lada Largus
The 7-seater station wagon is equipped with air conditioning, passenger airbags, heated front seats and a built-in audio system with Bluetooth.
About the main characteristics of the trunk
Today, Lada Largus is produced in three body versions:
- basic five-seat station wagon;
- a station wagon with more capacity with seven seats;
- van (two seats: passenger and driver).
For each of these options, the amount of space in the luggage compartment has its own characteristics. It is not surprising that the van has the largest trunk volume. This is due to the lack of a rear seat row (or two), as well as the elongated body and has 5 seats. Official data indicates the amount of usable space in this body version is approximately 2500 liters. This modification of the Lada Largus does not have any additional components or components inside the body, since the primary purpose of the van is to transport large cargo.
In a standard station wagon, which has only five seats, the amount of space in the luggage section is significantly less and is equal to 700 liters. If there is a need to transport large loads, then the owner has the opportunity to dismantle the rear row of seats, and therefore the size of the trunk for luggage increases to 1600-1800 volume in liters.
The seven-seater version (minivan) has the most “modest” trunk. Here the capacity does not “shine”, because 200 liters, exactly the volume of the trunk, is not enough for a “substantial” load. Here the manufacturer met his loyal client halfway and endowed this modification with a simple secret, namely: increasing the trunk to the same 1600-1800 volume in liters is also possible by performing an identical operation to dismantle the stern seats. Here you will need to remove two planting rows.
To be fair, we note that a station wagon is not intended for the systematic transportation of large items, since the body for such purposes must have large geometric parameters. Here, the need for endless dismantling of the rear seats contributes to the inconvenience, although the removal procedure itself is quite simple.
Important! The modification of the Lada Largus van is purposefully equipped with a reinforced suspension, because, as already noted, this particular vehicle among the three Largus is designed for transporting large luggage, with an impressive trunk size. Station wagons cannot boast of this useful option.
Trunk size of universal modifications. Here are some parameters:
- the opening is 920 mm in height and 980 mm in width;
- the height inside the compartment from the bottom to the ceiling plate is 870-930 mm for station wagons and approximately 1000 mm for the van version;
- the width of the internal space of the compartment reached 1000 mm when measured along the plane of the arches, and 1450 mm when measured at the level of human shoulders;
- the length of the section from the opening itself to the backs of the third seating row is 480 mm, and if it is a five-seat version, then 1570 mm (up to the 2nd row);
- If we consider a van, then the length from the edges of the doors to the dividing partition is approximately 1800 mm.
From here we can generate the conclusion that the trunk of the Lada Largus in terms of trunk volume is a very worthy “rival”.
Cheap to operate
The affordability of maintaining a car consists of two main factors: the car should not require large financial investments, and the price of spare parts and consumables should be moderate. With both factors, the Lada-Largus van with a larger-than-average cargo compartment is in perfect order. Engines from , even if an unscheduled breakdown occurs, can be brought back to life quite realistically at low cost. The same applies to other components and systems of the car.
Are there any competitors?
Due to its body layout, the Lada Largus does not have a large number of its “opponents,” especially in the market spaces of the CIS countries. This can be partly explained by moderate demand. If we again tend to limit ourselves only to post-Soviet market areas, then we are unlikely to find a worthy competitor to this station wagon in terms of carrying capacity. Impressive figures can serve as a simple confirmation of this:
- the van is able to overcome a weight of 800 kg;
- the station wagon can handle a 650-kilogram load, the volume in liters allows this.
Competitors are only able to get closer to these indicators, because their load capacity is at the level of 450-600 kg. The list of dimensional characteristics of the Largus trunk may bring a little disappointment, because in this discipline the station wagon is not a leader, but it is not “tagging along” in the “tail of the tournament bracket”.
Detailed information regarding dimensions is most clearly reflected in the following table:
As you can see, two positive aspects speak in favor of the universal “Russian woman”:
- enviable convenience when loading luggage, especially large ones, which is facilitated by the door opening limit (reaches 180 degrees with the doors fully turned out); Not a single universal model can boast of this feature;
- reasonable cost of the car, which is especially noticeable in comparison with famous competitors.
Important! Against the background of the entire set of indicators characterizing the versatility of the LADA Largus, it can be unequivocally stated that the domestic model, although in some minor disciplines loses to its rivals, in general terms, against their background it looks very decent and advantageous. Here, few will argue with the functionality of the “Russian woman”.
What does the trunk have more: pros or cons?
Summing up the review of the luggage department, it will be useful to take a closer look at the positive aspects and negative aspects. Over such a long period of operation, the owners found only one drawback in Largus. It is due to the fact that the manufacturer was too lazy to adjust the interior of the universal modifications to accommodate the possibility of transporting large items. This is echoed by numerous cases where the transportation of large objects caused damage to decorative components in the interior.
In other cases, grateful owners sing only odes of praise to LADA Largus and its manufacturer. After a thorough study of the advantages of the luggage compartment of a Russian station wagon, our resource has compiled the following list of advantages:
- convenient loading;
- balanced dimensions (space inside and outside characteristics);
- trunk volume quickly increases due to the easy removal of seats;
- enviable carrying capacity;
- competent layout solution of the cargo compartment;
- tendency towards modernization.
Let's sum it up
The owners today have gained considerable experience in using LADA Largus in various fields and industries. They all nod their heads contentedly when asked about the convenience and practicality of the trunk. On the Internet you will find only a limitless mass of positive reviews about this model.
The size of the trunk turned out to be sufficient for the car to effectively demonstrate its functionality and be able to take the lead from competitors “touching on their heels.” The manufacturer managed to competently and rationally arrange the body space, which allows the station wagon to effectively cope with large objects, demonstrating an enviable carrying capacity. We definitely note that we recommend purchasing this station wagon for those who have not yet found a real “hard worker” as a companion, possessing a full range of balanced consumer and technical properties.
Video review of the LADA Largus luggage compartment:
A conversation about the car would not be complete without mentioning its competitors. In fact, this is the only B-class car in its segment, so we can say that this car has no competitors. Among station wagons and vans, it is the undisputed leader in price; the car has become the cheapest option.
Competitors of Lada Largus:
Let us remind you that the maximum trunk volume of a Lada Largus car with the rear seats folded is 2.5 cubic meters, the maximum cargo weight can be 800 kilograms. All this is complemented by the European origin of the Largus and the Logan suspension, reinforced for Russian roads and the large transported mass, which in the original was distinguished by its forgiving behavior. At the buyer's choice, the car is equipped with two power units: 8- and 16-valve engines, the power of which is 84 and 105 hp, respectively. Apparently, interest in the Lada Largus is justified. The cost of a Lada Largus van starts at 319,000 rubles, and 5- and 7-seater station wagons, respectively, from 364 and 395 thousand rubles.
The following analogues can be compared: Fiat Doblo, Renault Kangoo, Peugeot Partner, Citroen Berlingo, Skoda Roomster, Volkswagen Caddy, Ford Connect Transit.
Car interior: there is always space
The design choice of the design of the interior space of the car is considered quite successful for the following reasons:
- The driver's seat is separated from the cargo compartment, which allows you to transport various types of cargo, such as household cosmetics, food, building materials, fabrics, etc.;
- cargo compartment volume - more than 2.5 cubic meters. m.; actual dimensions of the trunk of the Lada-Largus van: length - 187 cm; opening width - 108 cm; in the area of the wheel arches - 98 cm; the width behind the wheel arches is 134 cm; height - 92 cm.
The driver is equipped with the most comfortable cabin for driving in literally any conditions, however, the interior can only be called sophisticated with a big stretch. Ergonomic and slightly strict interior design, the use of high-quality durable plastic make the car interior not only attractive, but also practical.
Fiat Doblo
Fiat Doblo Panorama in 2012 became the sales leader among all representatives of its segment. The price of the car starts at 575,000 rubles. The car is equipped with a 77 hp gasoline engine. and a five-speed gearbox. The car's configurations are quite limited; the most important positive quality of the car is, undoubtedly, its spaciousness. The car's carrying capacity reaches 700 kilograms, and the trunk volume starts at 750 liters and reaches 3000 liters with the rear seats folded. The car is equipped with a sliding door at the rear right. For an additional fee you can order the same one on the left.
Fiat Doblo is a roomy competitor, but a high price
The cargo version of Doblo Cargo is capable of transporting 750 kilograms, and when ordering an option that increases the carrying capacity - 850. The trunk volume reaches 3.2 cubic meters. This version in an all-metal case is sold at a minimum price of 545,000 rubles. Additional payment will be required for the left cargo door, air conditioning and audio system.

Specifications
Overall body dimensions of LADA Largus:
- length – 4470 mm;
- width – 1750 mm;
- height – 1636 mm.
- wheelbase – 2905 mm.
The trunk volume of the Lada Largus (5 seats) is 560 liters. It can be increased to 2350 liters by folding the rear backrests. But in a seven-seater station wagon, the same figures are 135/2350 liters, respectively.

We reviewed the technical characteristics of the Lada Largus. It's time to analyze in more detail what configurations and prices of the Lada Largus the manufacturer currently offers.
Volkswagen Caddy
Another competitor is the Volkswagen Caddy. This car is the most spacious among the entire segment under consideration. The free trunk space of its extended version is 4.7 cubic meters. The standard, non-extended body version reaches 3.7 cubic meters of free space. In general, this car has the largest number of configurations and modifications, from cargo to passenger, and can have a manual or automatic transmission, as well as all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive. The minimum price for the basic configuration is 697,000 rubles.
Ford Connect Transit
Ford Connect Transit is another competitor to Lada Largus among vans. This vehicle comes, like most other vans, in long and short versions. The longest version of the car has a trunk volume exceeding a cubic meter, so it really is an all-consuming bowel. The car is endowed with a classic rectangular appearance, as well as a range of diesel engines 75 hp, 90 hp. and 110 hp respectively. The gearbox in all considered options is mechanical with five steps. The price of this car starts at 720 thousand rubles.
Ford Connect Transit - does not have an attractive price
The passenger Ford Connect Tourneo is available only as a long wheelbase with a high roof. There are initially wide sliding doors. If you order the appropriate option, the car can be equipped with three rows of seats and made it eight-seater. You will have to pay at least 1,100,000 rubles for the car.

If everything is clear about the car, then its five-seater version can also be compared with the Lada Priora station wagon, which, by the way, is coming off a nearby assembly line.
The basic configuration of the Priora will cost the owner 336,000 rubles, but the luxury configuration will cost 399,000. The trunk of this car is much smaller, its volume is 777 liters with the rear seats folded down.
Review of Lada Priora station wagon:
To summarize, we can say that when choosing a car, you should remember, first of all, about your considerations of what exactly your car should be. The automotive industry can offer any option that suits the taste and wallet of every buyer. The Lada Largus car has taken a worthy position in the market. Competitors of the Lada Largus have their advantages and disadvantages. We can definitely say that this car surpassed all its competitors in price, and the quality turned out to be quite good.
LADA Largus has long won the sympathy of Russian car enthusiasts. Drivers often pay attention to the large trunk volume of the Lada Largus, which is considered the main advantage of this car. Domestic cars also cope well with another task - providing inexpensive and comfortable travel on modern roads. These two aspects and the ability to accommodate a large number of passengers allowed the car, produced at the Russian AvtoVAZ, to become a popular model in the CIS countries.
The dimensions of the Largus trunk depend on the body variation, it can be:
- station wagon;
- van;
- minivan.
Each car variation has its own luggage compartment volume. In a station wagon designed for 5 seats, the volume of this compartment is 700 liters. But the owner of this model can transport a large load. In the Lada Largus station wagon, the trunk volume can be increased to 1500–1800 liters by removing the second row of seats - a three-seater sofa. With the seats folded down, the station wagon's luggage compartment volume increases to 2,350 liters.
Version for 7 seats
Now to the question of what the Lada Largus can offer us with 7 seats in the trunk.
This is a more practical car for those with a large family. There are 2 additional seats available here.
I can’t say that the last row is full, just like the second. Children and teenagers will feel comfortable here. Not every adult can fit in there. But overall it’s a good option. When you need to transport 6-7 people, it is not necessary to buy a minibus. You can get by with a budget domestic car like the Lada Largus.
An additional pair of seats allows you to transport 2 more people. But the 3rd row takes up some of the luggage space. As a result, only 135 liters remain in the cargo compartment.
Since the length of the Largus trunk does not change when folding the seats, lowering the 3rd row returns us the same 560 liters.
As you can see, the car does not lose capacity if you fold the third row. Yes, the height from floor to roof will be slightly smaller, but this does not greatly affect the capacity.
You can also omit the second row. Then the dimensions of the Largus trunk will be 2350 liters.
Another interesting thing is the length of the compartment if you omit only the 3rd row. Here it turns out to be 90 cm. The width and height of the opening are the same as in the case of the 5-seater configuration.
Cross
The smallest trunk size is in the Largus minivan, designed for 7 seats. The Largus Cross trunk reaches a volume of 200 liters. The manufacturer helped car owners by allowing them to increase the volume of the luggage compartment in liters to 1600–1800, for which two rows of seats should be removed.
The seven-seater version (minivan) has the most “modest” luggage compartment. But the manufacturer met his loyal customer halfway and endowed this modification with a simple secret: it is also possible to increase the luggage space to the same 1600–1800 liters by performing an identical operation to dismantle the stern seats. To do this, you will need to remove two planting rows.
Of course, neither a station wagon nor a minivan are designed to transport large loads, but if necessary, they will cope with this task perfectly.
Trunk dimensions of Lada Largus station wagon and Cross
To estimate the actual dimensions of the trunk of the Lada Largus station wagon, we will take measurements using a regular tape measure and transfer everything to the diagram. We will use a regular photograph and a graphic editor as a diagram. In this case, we will not get 100% accurate measurements, but they will be as close to reality as possible. Here is a photo of the trunk of a Lada Largus station wagon with specific dimensions:
- The height from the floor to the bottom point of the ceiling is 905 mm.
- The length of the trunk from the lock to the rear row of seats is 1199 mm.
- The height of the trunk to the shelf is 477 mm.
- The length of the trunk with the second row of seats folded is 1700 mm.
- Trunk width 1000 mm.
The Cross version has the same luggage compartment volume.
Luggage compartment dimensions
Based on the above, we can conclude that the dimensions of the luggage compartment of any version of the Lada Largus are quite impressive. The general dimensions of this compartment for the models are as follows:
- opening height is 920 mm;
- the opening width is 980 mm;
- the height of the luggage compartment to the ceiling is from 870 to 930 mm for universal models and up to 1000 mm for a van;
- trunk length is 480–1570 mm for station wagons up to the 3rd and 2nd row of seats;
- The length of the van's luggage compartment is 1800 mm to the dividing wall;
- luggage compartment width – 1000–1450 mm.
Basic dimensions
The main indicators of the dimensions of any car, first of all, are understood as the dimensions of the body. Everyone knows that Lada-Largus is a model made on the Renault Dasia Logan MSV platform (2006 variation), but completely adapted for the Russian market. Considering such a relationship between the two cars, it seems surprising that there are some differences in their dimensions, even if they are not significant.
Despite the fact that the Lada-Largus is available in three body variations: a station wagon (5 seats), a minivan (7 seats) and a van (2 seats) - the dimensions of all variations are the same, with the exception of height. More precisely, the machine dimensions are as follows (in mm):
- length – 4470;
- width – 1750;
- width including side mirrors – 2003;
- height – 1636 (station wagon/minivan) and 1650 (van);
- height taking into account restylings - 1670 (station wagon/minivan) and 1686 (van);
- ground clearance - 145-175, which depends on the load of the car (210-170 - for Lada-Largus Cross);
- wheelbase - 2900;
- front track - 1469;
- rear track - 1466;
- front/rear overhangs – 797/771.
Having analyzed the dimensions of the car, we can conclude that the car is quite large for a B-class. Such circumstances emerge not only in theory, but also in practice, judging by the reviews of the owners. Many of them note that the dimensions fit quite well into the aesthetic concept of the car and do not cause any inconvenience during its operation.
Advantages and disadvantages
To make the right decision, you need to study not only the advantages, but also the disadvantages of the model. The owners, who have extensive experience in operating Largus, found one drawback. The car manufacturer did not adjust the interior of the station wagons in such a way that their owners would have the opportunity to transport large loads. If the driver nevertheless decided to load a large object into his car, then the cargo often caused damage to the interior.
Otherwise, Lada Largus owners are satisfied with everything in their cars. Among the advantages of a Russian car are the following:
- ease of loading;
- optimal dimensions;
- the ability to increase trunk capacity by removing the seats;
- high load capacity;
- possibility of modernization.
Drivers universally note the practicality and convenience of the LADA Largus trunk. Its size is quite enough to demonstrate the functionality of a domestic car, which allowed it to become a leader among its closest competitors. The manufacturer managed to competently and rationally approach the arrangement of the body space, which allows Largus to successfully transport large objects and indicates the enviable carrying capacity of the model.
