The new product of the domestic automobile industry, Lada XRay, has been rolling off the concern’s assembly line for almost a year now and is being tested by car enthusiasts in real conditions on Russian roads.
Those who are just planning to purchase a car and choose a model for themselves, at the first stages of selection are interested in parameters that are known without testing, in particular, dimensions and other geometric characteristics, since knowledge of these parameters allows one to assess how well X Rey’s overall dimensions correspond to the class machine and engine power.
Let us consider in detail the dimensions of the Lada X Rey, dividing them into groups according to characterized parameters.
Dimensions
Lada XRay is created on the Renault Sandero Stepway platform, but with a slightly larger base.
- Length of Lada X Ray/Renault Sandero Stepway – 4,164 m/4,080 m.
- Wheelbase "Rey"/Stepway - 2,592 m/2,588 m.
- Width of Lada X Ray/Renault Sandero Stepway: along the rear wheel arches – 1.764 m/1.757 m;
- according to the mirrors when unfolded – 1,980 m/1,997 m.
The front overhang of the Lada XRay is 834 mm, the rear overhang is 738 mm. These values correspond to:
- approach angle – 21 degrees;
- departure angle – 34 degrees.
The parameters and dimensions of the X-Ray are not outstanding for a crossover, but for the declared class of this Lada model they are acceptable and quite comfortable.
You should pay attention to the fact that the width along the arches of the rear wheels of the Stepway is smaller, and wider along the mirrors when unfolded. This is explained by the large size of the Renault mirrors, while the Lada XRay mirrors are disproportionately small in relation to the dimensions of the body, as a result of which they do not provide the best visibility.
The height of the Lada XRay is quite significant - the car without roof rails is only 2 cm lower than the Renault Sandero Stepway with roof rails, but this is compensated by the larger base and width of the X Ray.
The track width of the Lada X Ray is (R-16 wheels):
- front wheels: along the axles – 1482 mm;
- overall – 1983 mm.
- along the axes – 1513 mm;
The values of these parameters, despite the ground clearance of 195 mm, ensure good stability of the car against rollover when cornering.

Trunk dimensions
The standard luggage compartment of the Lada X Ray, at first glance, is too small for a crossover - this impression is supported by the size of the luggage opening, which is also narrowed in the upper half:
- opening height –80.0 cm;
- opening width – 99.0 cm.
However, the trunk volume in the standard configuration is 361 liters, and the internal dimensions are:
- length – 79.0 cm;
- width – 90.0 cm;
- height (up to removable shelf) – 40.0 cm.
Folding the rear seat backs allows you to increase the volume of the luggage compartment to 1200 liters, and the length to 1700 mm. The diagonal length of the trunk will be 1850 mm. An additional folded front passenger seat will increase the volume of the luggage compartment to 1300 liters, and the large diagonal to 2500 mm.
The loading height of the Lada XRay is 730 mm - a considerable amount, but the trunk lid in the open position is at a height of 181 cm, which allows you to safely walk under it during loading.
Characteristics of the Lada X Ray Cross model 2021
The new model line differs from the previous version by the increased diameter of the wheel rims, higher ground clearance and plastic body protection.
New body
Having carefully studied the photo, you will notice that the model differs from its predecessor in small details. This is a slightly elevated body position and aggressive design style. The small front end appears more massive thanks to the high and wide hood and X-shaped radiator trim.
The wedge-shaped blocks of the front halogen headlights fit perfectly into the design of the crossover.
The car features sporty side diffusers, a set of paired fog lamps and a large metal-plastic body kit. The side reveals dynamic and vibrant details to car enthusiasts:
- wheel arches have protective inserts;
- many elements of graceful stepped relief;
- three-section windows are characterized by a black perimeter and extended mullions;
- the roof line smoothly turning into the stern.
The plastic body kit performs protective and decorative functions. The crossover status is also confirmed by the details in the rear of the car.
The improved Lada can be distinguished by the following features:
- the spoiler visor has an enlarged format;
- The high tailgate features oval glazing;
- the rear optics have a different shape and are mounted on wide stands.
The wide body kit of the new model has three reflectors. In the cutouts of the shaped metal diffuser there is a pair of exhaust pipes, eyes and a towbar bracket.
Interior dimensions
The interior of the Lada X Ray, like the trunk, is small for a crossover, but this is due to the size of the body. The maximum height of the cabin (from floor to ceiling in the middle part) is 1220 mm, its width at shoulder level is the same along the entire length - 1330 mm.
The front seat cushions are located at a height of 180 mm from the floor, the rear sofa – 260 mm. The distance between the backs of the front and rear seats is from 600 to 815 mm.
The front seats have enough room for a comfortable posture, but when moving them back, second-row passengers are forced to find an acceptable position for their legs.
All doors open wide enough, and the rear door openings are wide enough for loading onto the sofa and transporting large cargo.
The level of the “window sills” of the side windows of the Lada X Ray is too high, which visually adds strength and consistency to the body, but reduces side visibility.
The top-end XRay configuration has a multimedia system in the cabin with a 7-inch diagonal color display, which, given its diagonal size, is not loaded enough with information and contains, apart from the fuel level, only one of the displayed parameters.

Lada xray cross: configurations, prices and specifications
The interior design turned out to be pleasant both in appearance and to the touch. There is a sense of simplicity and orderliness in the details. The steering wheel is finished with high-quality materials and has few buttons, made in the shape of a trident. We didn't find anything unnecessary on the front panel.

However, you can see from the photo how few buttons there are on it. It is worth noting that this does not mean that the car is not very optional, it is simply controlled using a touchscreen that can be easily hidden/removed from the casing. Original design gear shift knob. Plastic of various colors and good quality was used for finishing the front.
The interior trim is made in two colors
The seats are finished in a combination of different materials. Between the driver and the passenger next to him there is a spacious glove compartment. Integrated ventilation/heating function. The rear can comfortably accommodate 3 passengers. The dashboard came out just as attractive. On it, all information is processed by a computer and issued in electronic form.
Lada XRay wheel sizes
The standard tire sizes are 195/65 R15 or 205/55 R16, indicated in the technical specifications of the hatchback, and R is not the radius, but the radial design of the tire. All configurations of the Lada X-Ray, except for the most budget-friendly Optima, are equipped with 5-spoke alloy wheels that harmonize well with the exterior of the car.
According to advanced X-Ray owners, tires of the following sizes can also be painlessly installed on the car: 185/55 R17, 195/50 R17, 205/50 R17, 225/45 R17, as well as 175/50 R18, 195/45 R18 , 215/40 R18, 225/40 R18 and even 175/45 R19, 185/40 R19, 195/40 R19.
All electronics that provide ABS are configured for factory wheel sizes, so for safety reasons, after installing wheels of other sizes, it is necessary to flash the ABS/ESP control unit to a new tire size, and this operation is performed only at authorized dealers.
Pros and cons of the trunk
The trunk volume of the X-Ray is really small, but if you fold the rear seats, the displacement increases several times, which allows you to transport long cargo, such as skis or construction boards.
Volume is volume, but what about comfort inside the luggage compartment? Everything here is quite good: there is nothing superfluous in the trunk, the floor is perfectly flat, and the wheel arches are hidden from the owner’s eyes and do not protrude from the sides. The top shelf can be removed if necessary.
The luggage compartment is lined with high-quality, durable plastic; the compartment is illuminated in the form of a small lamp located on the left wall.
There are also small hooks on the walls so that you can hook the shelf. An interesting feature of the trunk of the Tolyatti crossover is the double floor.
It sounds tempting, but in reality, this is an almost useless and not very convenient function. The only positive aspect of the “double bottom” is the presence of clamps in the upper part. They make it possible to secure cargo with special straps so that it does not “ride” around the trunk.

The back of the rear sofa in XRAY folds at a slight angle, which is not very convenient, because the loading area is uneven. But the rear bumper does not protrude beyond its plane. This makes it easier to load things inside the trunk and reduces the risk of damage to the bumper.
Directly in front of the trunk there is a metal protruding part of the body, a kind of threshold. The fact is that this threshold is simply painted, there are no linings on it, which threatens this part of the trunk with scratches and abrasions.

The engineers overlooked this, because even the Niva had plastic linings in that place. The rear door of the car, leading to the luggage compartment, turned out to be quite weighty, sometimes you need to strain a little to lower it. But thanks to its weight, the door closes easily, even if you release it in the middle of its trajectory.
