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.

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.
