Technical characteristics of Lada Granta (VAZ 2190)

Especially for your convenience, all technical characteristics of the Lada Granta are collected on one page. There are five different combinations of engines and gearboxes, which is why they are presented in this table. The Lada Granta was originally conceived as a replacement for the “Classic”, which is why engineers did not pursue the dynamism and elegance of the new product. On the contrary, Granta was created to be the most economical, versatile and convenient car at a very modest price.

Main characteristics of Grants

The new product has a length of 4260 mm, a width of 1700 mm and a height of 1500 mm, with a wheelbase of 2476 mm. The front track is slightly wider - 1430 mm, the rear - 1414 mm. Granta's curb weight is 1115 kg, total weight is 1560 kg.

The car is sure to appeal to practical people, because the luggage compartment volume is 520 liters, despite the fact that the car itself is quite compact. The fuel tank capacity is 50 liters, and the permissible weight of the towed trailer is 450 kg if the trailer is without brakes and 900 kg if it has brakes.

The Granta is equipped with the entire modern line of engines from AvtoVAZ. Power units ranging from 80 hp to 106 hp are available to buyers. The engine capacity in all cases is 1.6 liters.

Dimensions of Lada Granta

The length of the Lada Granta sedan is 4.26 m with an improved wheelbase of 2,476 mm, therefore, the interior space, compared to previous VAZ models, has also been significantly increased. The width was 1.7 m and the height was 1.5 m, and this does not include mirrors. The trunk was 520 liters, which in comparison, for example, with the VAZ 2107, was an order of magnitude larger. In addition, if necessary, the trunk volume can be significantly increased by folding the rear seats, which is important for people who need to transport bulky cargo.

The clearance of the Lada Grant with curb weight is at least 16 cm, which allows you to drive more safely on deep ruts. Thanks to the longer wheelbase, the Lada Granta sedan has become much more stable on the road.

Grant dynamics characteristics

The most powerful Grant accelerates to “hundreds” in 11 seconds, and its top speed is 177 km/h. There is also the Lada Granat Sport, which has better dynamic characteristics, but in this material we will compare only production cars that are assembled at AvtoVAZ.

In the combined driving cycle, LADA Granta consumes from 6.7 to 7.6 liters of 95 gasoline.

You can find out tire sizes, ground clearance and many other parameters in the summary table. Also here you can see all Granta photographs using a special gallery.

Internal dimensions of Lada Granta

Equally important when purchasing are the internal parameters. They influence the comfort of being in a car and making long trips. An additional advantage is the possibility of numerous adjustments to the position of the seats, if there is enough space in the cabin to move them, rearrange them and several tilt modes.

For the stylish Lada Granta, the overall dimensions inside are really well thought out and allow all passengers and the driver to spend even long trips with maximum comfort.

The height from the junction of the seat and backrest is 910 mm for the second row and 990 for the front seats. The seat widths are 49 cm and 51 cm respectively. The distance from the second row seat to the first varies from 12 to 33.5 cm, which allows passengers to sit comfortably in the seats.

The height of the seats relative to the floor of the cabin for the second row is 34 cm, and for the first 28.5 cm (subject to slight adjustment). The distance from the pedals to the edge of the seat can be from 33.5 to 56 cm.

The trunk dimensions are another advantage of the Granta. The width of the compartment is 135 cm, but the width of the opening is much smaller (95 cm), which must be taken into account when loading the car. The depth of the trunk is 1 m and 2.5 cm. Its height is as much as 60 cm, which allows you to transport even a variety of household appliances without any problems.

The steering wheel parameters will certainly be of interest to the future driver. The width of the front pillar is 4 cm, but the diameter of the steering wheel is 37.5 cm. This arrangement is very convenient and allows you to easily drive the Grant. In addition, all other characteristics allow for comfortable trips on any route, with any load in the trunk and any number of passengers.

Lada Granta with an 87 hp engine.

A more powerful modification of the Lada Granta is equipped with an engine with the same displacement of 1.6 with 87 horsepower with a torque of 140 Nm and improved dynamics of 12.2 s to the first hundred. The maximum speed in this configuration is 167 km/h with gasoline consumption:

• in traffic 9 l;
• on average 7 l;
• on the highway 5.7 liters.

Owner reviews on fuel consumption

• Alexander, Kerch. I took the Lada Granta 2021 from the showroom because I always liked the appearance of the car. I chose the option with an eight-valve 1.6 engine with 87 horses, because I consider it the most reliable. I put the car in for service and only changed the oil and filters. As for fuel consumption, on the highway it’s 6 liters, in the city it’s no more than 10 liters, even in winter.
• Stepan, Samara. For my family of four, Lada Granta is the best option. It feels good in the city; you can take your family out to the countryside or on a picnic. You can fit everything you need in the trunk. The suspension and transmission are reliable, the 87 horsepower engine pulls great, there were no problems with it. Average fuel consumption is 7.5 liters in summer and about 8 in winter.
• Yaroslav, St. Petersburg. I bought a Lada Granta at a dealership, hoping for the high build quality that the manufacturer declared. Maybe I got such a car, but I am dissatisfied with it, especially in terms of reliability and comfort. The interior is noisy, there are constant problems with the suspension and fuel supply system. Consumption is admittedly small, 6-9 liters per hundred, but I’m still thinking of selling it.
• Ivan, Orenburg. I have a Lada Granta 1.6 2104 with a manual transmission. So far I like everything, the car is reliable, unpretentious, spare parts are inexpensive. The suspension is adapted to our roads, the engine is 87 hp. starts easily in the most severe frosts. Fuel consumption on the highway is 6 liters, in traffic jams it rises to 9.
• Vyacheslav, Khanty-Mansiysk. I picked up a Lada Granta in 2015, bought it in the showroom, with an 87-horsepower engine. I was pleasantly surprised by the build quality and comfort in the cabin, which is completely uncharacteristic of the domestic auto industry. The suspension is somewhat harsh, but handles road irregularities well. Fuel consumption does not exceed 9 liters even in winter; on the highway you can keep within 6 liters.
• Nikolay, Rostov. I took my Lada Granta in 2021 from my hands, a 1.6 engine with 87 horsepower with a five-speed manual transmission. So far I have driven less than 20 thousand km, I have no complaints about the car. It is easy to control, dynamic, and cheap to repair. Spacious and comfortable interior, trunk - everything for people. The consumption is also good - 7 liters all around, I only use AI 95 or AI 98.

16 valve engine

Now let's talk about 16-valve engines for cars of the domestic manufacturer Lada Granta. These engines are already installed on luxury cars. The power of the power units has been increased, which has affected the reduction in fuel economy.

Some models are used on Lada Granta "Sport" class cars. They are distinguished by high-torque power and rapid development of speed from the start.

Technical specifications for Lada Granta

Let's look at the technical characteristics of the 16-valve engine model 21126. They are presented in the table.

Parameter	Meaning
Type	Row
Cylinders	4
valves	16
Compression	11
Volume	1.6 l
Cylinder diameter	82
Piston stroke	75
Power	106 hp
Petrol	AI 95
Weight	115 kg
Life resource	250 thousand km

What distinguishes this engine from the previous two is the presence of DAT and DTV instead of DRMV. In this way, the manufacturer got rid of floating speed at idle speed of the engine. This improved the performance of the power unit from the Lada Grant. It’s true that these engines have become a little more expensive.

A broken timing belt still bends the valve. But this is the price to pay for making the engine lighter and increasing its power.

Now let's look at another engine that was installed on the “Lux” model from Lada Grant. Technical characteristics of this engine 21127.

Parameter	Meaning
Type	L
Cylinders	4
Piston diameter and stroke	Same as previous ones
Compression	11
timing belt	DOHC
Torque	148 Nm
Nutrition	Injection
Econorms	Euro 4
Weight	116 kg
Life resource	250 thousand km

There is another rare engine with 16 valves. It was installed only on “Sport” model cars. The modification of the power unit is designated VAZ 2126-77. It was an upgraded model 2126 engine.

The only difference from other engines was the increase in power after the tachometer crossed the three thousand rpm mark. And its power was 120 horses. Otherwise, it did not differ from the previous engines already described.

Engine design features

The sixteen-valve engine has a cast-iron cylinder block and an aluminum head. Another advantage of these engines was the ability to cover 100 meters in 11 seconds.

The maximum speed that the engine reached was considered to be 172 km/h. This is why car owners fell in love with these engines. Although there were some shortcomings. For example, bending of valves when a belt breaks. This was followed by a major overhaul or a complete change of the power unit.

These engines showed high power, which differed several times from that indicated in the data sheet. However, they often had problems that were also different from the passport problems.

For example, the car owner’s reluctance to take the engine for regular maintenance led to a decrease in the engine’s lifespan. The gasket and pistons on these engines burned out.

The water pump broke down with enviable frequency. Especially residents of the southern regions and those who like to kill cars in difficult operating conditions cannot boast of the absence of overheating.

Motor life

The service life of sixteen-valve engines exceeds three hundred thousand kilometers if treated with care. The engine life is not lower than the eight-valve one, but does not exceed it, as can be seen from the tables above.

Despite such high engine durability, it has disadvantages that do not suit many car owners. Let's look at these disadvantages.

Characteristics of Lada Granta with a 1.6 engine with 106 horsepower

The most powerful Lada Granta is equipped with a 16-valve gasoline engine producing 106 horsepower with a torque of 148 Nm and dynamics up to hundreds in 10.9 seconds. The car reaches a maximum speed of 183 km/h. Fuel consumption in this configuration:

• in city mode 8.6 l;
• mixed cycle 6.7 l;
• on the highway 5.6 liters.

Options with a robotic gearbox practically do not differ in consumption, but are more expensive, and therefore are not very popular among domestic car enthusiasts.

A sports version is also offered with an engine with 118 horsepower and a torque of 154 Nm; for this you have to pay for an increase in fuel consumption on the Lada Granta Sport by 1 liter in each of the driving modes.

Feedback on consumption from real owners

• Ignat, Moscow. I took the Lada Granta specifically for trips around the city and chose the most torquey engine with 106 horsepower and a five-speed manual transmission. A very convenient option - a reliable engine and omnivorous suspension, plus a roomy interior and trunk. It feels great in heavy traffic, I haven’t done any repairs yet, just changed the oil. Consumption on the highway is 5.5 liters, in city traffic up to 9 liters.
• Peter, Magnitogorsk. I bought a Lada Granta Lux in 2015 from the showroom, a modification equipped with a robot. I'm quite happy with the purchase, I was afraid that the transmission would be glitchy, but everything is fine, it doesn't jerk, doesn't overheat, doesn't break down. The 106 horsepower engine pulls well both at intersections in the city and when overtaking on the highway. The interior is quite comfortable, the consumption is also pleasing and does not exceed 7.5 liters in a circle with such dynamics being quite a decent figure.
• Marat, Kazan. If you take a car from scratch, as I did, the Lada Granta is the best option for the money. For this I received a model with a 1.6 engine with 106 horsepower, choosing the manual version, I was afraid to take the automatic. I removed the crickets in the cabin, made a Shumka - nothing else is needed. The ride quality is quite decent, the comfort level is high, and the consumption is from 5 to 9 liters in different modes.
• Denis, Minsk. I bought a Lada Granta in 2014, since then I hardly get out of the driver’s seat, I’ve driven almost 200 thousand km, I just need the car for work. I should note that I cannot support the negative reviews regarding sound insulation, everything is fine for me, there are simply no creaks in the cabin, maybe I was lucky with the assembly. The car is easy to drive, holds the road well, 106 horsepower is enough for confident driving around the city or on the highway, the consumption almost completely corresponds to the one specified in the passport from 6 to 9 liters of AI 95.
• Alexey, Petrozavodsk. I took the car from the showroom and chose the Lada Granta version for 106 horses with manual transmission. So far I'm happy with the car, there are no problems with breakdowns, the engine runs properly, it doesn't take oil until it's new. I drive a lot both in the city and on the highway. Consumption is quite adequate from 5.5 to 10 liters.
• Oleg, Nizhny Novgorod. I took the car in 2012 and chose the version with 106 horsepower on the handle. I consider this car one of the best creations of the domestic automobile industry. The suspension is a bit stiff, but is incredibly reliable. The engine pulls well in any situation - at a traffic light or overtaking a truck on the highway. The ground clearance allows me to drive off the asphalt without fear, so I often go to the dacha and take my family out into nature. As for consumption, it turns out to be about 7.5 liters per hundred, in winter in the city with a stove it reaches 10 liters, this is the main factor that affects the increase in fuel consumption.

8 valve engines

Unlike 16 valves, a single-shaft gas distribution system is used here. There are two valves for each cylinder: intake and exhaust. Such engines are reliable and do not bend valves when the timing belt breaks, but are significantly inferior in the dynamic performance of the vehicle, as well as in the noise level of the internal combustion engine.

Engine VAZ 11183

This engine was installed not only on Grants, but also on the last 2114 years of production. The engine is quite noisy and requires frequent valve adjustment due to the lack of hydraulic compensators. 183 the engine does not bend the valve when the timing belt breaks. This is the only engine installed on the Grant that is not afraid of timing belt breakage.

Technical characteristics of VAZ 11183:

Fuel supply	Injector
Number of cylinders	4
Number of valves	8
Compression ratio	10
Power (hp)	82
Engine capacity (cc. cm)	1596
Required fuel	Not lower than AI 95
Torque (N*m)	120

Engine VAZ 11186

This engine is installed in the last years of Granta production. It significantly reduced the noise characteristics and increased the compression ratio, which led to the meeting of the valves with the pistons when the timing belt breaks. Increasing the compression ratio made it possible to achieve more power from the internal combustion engine, which was beneficial for the dynamic characteristics.

Technical characteristics of VAZ 11186:

Fuel supply	Injector
Number of cylinders	4
Number of valves	8
Compression ratio	10,5
Power (hp)	90
Engine capacity (cc. cm)	1596
Required fuel	Not lower than AI 95
Torque (N*m)	143

Dimensions Grants liftback

If we compare this car with the Lada Granta sedan, the wheelbase remains at the same level. As for the length of the car, it was slightly trimmed. Now it is 4,246 mm, which is 14 mm less than the sedan, and this with a width of 1.7 m and a height of 1.5 m. The ground clearance is 160 mm, which allows you to confidently overcome difficult sections of the road. If we take into account the curb weight, it will be approximately 1,160 kg, which is quite a lot in general.

The only negative quality of the liftback was the reduced trunk volume, which, compared to the previous model, decreased by almost 80 liters.

If the rear seat backs are folded down, the volume of space obtained will be approximately 760 liters, which will also allow transporting bulky cargo if necessary.
