Lada Kalina Cross

A couple of months ago on the Internet there were pictures of several promising VAZ models - for example, elevated wagon Lada Kalina Cross ennobled and Lada 4 × 4. So AvtoVAZ assess the interest of consumers. Apparently, the interest was high: only a few weeks, these machines have been implemented in the metal.

The basis version of Cross is universal in a complete set Kalina "Norma" with an engine 1, 6 liters (87 hp) and a 5-speed gearbox with cable-operated switching mechanism. The gear ratio of the main pair increased from 3 to 7, 3, 9, to enhance the traction capability of the car and proximity to emphasize crossovers. At the same affinity hints and increased up to 208 mm ground clearance. Not everyone can boast a true crossover so! But, alas, the complete drive is no question. So Kalina Cross - it is largely just a trim version. It is distinguished by lining larger moldings with the word «Cross», black elements on the bottom, and other small parts. A curious detail: the car with which we were able to meet, only one front foglights. The secret is simple - a model sample, and thus compared the two versions of the exterior. A series protivotumanok first not at all.

The interior is striking orange inserts on the seats - is planned just such a bright optimistic colors. They even overshadow the small touches in the design of the front panel and the steering wheel. Also, improved noise isolation - in particular screens are installed in the rear arches.

However, besides the catchy "makeup" is at Kalina Cross and some technical differences from the standard station wagon. She mounted gas-filled shock absorbers and strut with the original buildings and settings. Springs is left earlier, but postponed their support. Finishing work on the front suspension continued - maybe spring will be changed. Promises factory skid plate.

Because of the increased clearance of 23 mm to 16 mm fell on the proper suspension. Instead, 14-inch wheels on the version of the Cross installed 15-inch with tires 195/55 R15. Their contribution to the increase in clearance - plus 7 mm. And thanks to the new drive track widened by 4 mm. Large wheels forced to reduce 3, 6 mm stroke of the rack on each side, resulting in a slight increase in the radius of rotation - 5 2 5 5 m.
