"Lada X-Ray": technical characteristics, photo, price

One of the most anticipated and brightest Russian novelties is Lada X-Ray. The technical characteristics of this machine deserve special attention. This is a really bright model, and it should be discussed in more detail.

About the model

So, what can you say about the car "Lada X-Ray" first thing? The technical characteristics of this model is a very important issue. But so far I would like to talk about the concept itself. This car is the concept car of the Russian AvtoVAZ. The premiere took place in 2012 in Moscow. The concept was developed by a team led by former Volvo designer Steve Mattin. Not so long ago, this specialist was appointed the chief designer of the Russian "AvtoVAZ", and he continued his work. The appearance of the novelty was also developed by Evgeny Tkachev, and the salon was designed by Nikolai Suslov, also an employee of the Russian concern.

This crossover is considered a kind of response to the "parketnikam" of foreign production. Recently, machines of this class have become particularly popular. Critics say that it is the crossovers in the near future will become the dominant cars. It is believed that sedans with station wagons ceased to be popular. Well, it is for this reason that AvtoVAZ decided to keep up with its foreign competitors and release its crossover.

Exterior

The new "Lada X-Ray" embodied in its image a modern direction in the development of the company. All critics are confident that this machine will be an excellent basic for the subsequent development of the car. Designers say that from now on their most important task is to create fashionable cars, not practical ones.

The exterior is decorated in an original progressive style. Attention can be noted for the narrow front optics and wide wings, dynamic front part, refined feed, which is in harmony with the modern body kit. This model brought the manufacturer to a whole new level. "Lada X-Ray", the technical characteristics of which also became much better, makes a pleasant impression. And if you also take into account the fact that the car is domestic, the results from the manufacturer are really impressive.

Style and design

So, if foreign crossovers look strictly and solidly, the specialists of AvtoVAZ decided to make their car fashionable and stylish. They felt that, having made a choice in favor of such a concept, it would be possible to expand the circle of buyers among young people. And they, as you know, like beautiful cars. It is planned to supply the model and for export - there such crossovers are also in demand. So it is quite possible that among the European people there will be owners of such a car as "Lada X-Ray". Price - also an important aspect, if we talk about the purchase and demand. If it is lower than those installed on crossovers Opel or Volkswagen, then "Lada" will definitely become popular and will be able to achieve serious success.

Even the specialists of the company call their work of automotive art futuristic. And critics argue that such a crossover will surely appreciate young people free from stereotypes and cheerful personalities. It's unlikely that the car will please the older generation, but the specialists took this fact into account.

The design of the car will go to cars Lada B, B-Cross and Bm-Hatch. These models are planned to be launched in 2016.

About the interior

"Lada X-Ray" also has a well-designed interior. It is important for many people how the machine looks from the inside. And this is correct, since it is within the motorist who spends the most time. Well, what was the interior of the Lada X-Ray model? The photo of the cabin, which is above, can give an answer to this question. The interior has turned out stylish, attractive. In the interior of the salon, the specialists used calm tones, which create a very cozy and pleasant atmosphere. The instrument panel housed a wide high-quality informative screen, in the center of which is a speedometer.

This display is not the only one in the cabin. Also, the developers have provided a 7-inch pull-out screen. The instrument panel was decorated with a glossy plastic of black color, and the chairs, just like many other elements, were made of good natural leather. This innovation specialists created for four passengers. You can understand this by looking at the separate individual seats.

Lada X-Ray: specifications

Not so long ago, manufacturers kept in secret what kind of power unit this vehicle will be equipped with. But now everything is clear. Initially, it was planned to complete the car with a 114-strong unit (it was also planned to install it on the Lada Vesta model). It is a foreign development engine. On its creation the alliance "Nissan" and "Renault" worked. However, it was later announced that the car was equipped with a domestic motor. This decision was made in connection with the economic crisis. Because of him, the company had to significantly reduce production costs.

"Lada X-Ray," a test drive which has already been conducted, as a result received a 1.8-liter power unit that produces 122 liters. from. The new Russian crossover is completed not only with the usual "mechanics". Still experts offer potential buyers and the automated manual transmission. The development of electronic "stuffing" worked professionals, invited from Germany (the company ZF).

Security Level

This is another important point, concerning a car like "Lada X-Ray." Test drive the car was successful and received a decent (for the Russian model) assessment from Euro NCAP. Three stars - this is the indicator of the new "Lada". Analogues produced by Japanese firms (i.e., Nissan Juke and Mitsubishi ASX) were rated higher, but their value exceeds the amount that a potential buyer will have to pay for a Russian crossover. And Renault Duster and Renault Sandero, among other things, also received the same assessment.

The model is equipped with two front airbags, belts and an automatic emergency call system (among other things, it is "ERA-GLONASS"). There is also another useful function. Namely, the system of exchange rate stability. All these nuances in conjunction with a strong body, form a good level of both passive and active safety.

About the complete set

"Lada X-Ray" is still manufactured in only one configuration. To date, there is still no detailed information on what other modifications the manufacturer is planning to release. But we know what equipment can boast the basic version.

The new crossover has been tuned for the driver's seat in height, a modern multi-function steering wheel, a heated seat, as well as a good multimedia system with a wide color display (7 inches).

Production of these models has already started. Crossovers are collected, of course, in Togliatti - the same place where they produce such cars as Renault Sandero and Logan, Lada Largus and Nissan Almera. Interestingly, specially for such a car as "Lada X-Ray", a photo of which shows us a rather powerful and attractive car, we had to finish the conveyor. Significantly modernized, for example, welding equipment.

Cost

And finally, another point concerning such a crossover as "Lada X-Ray" is the price. About it, too, should say a few words. The all-wheel drive version is estimated at about half a million rubles. Where and when can I buy this model? If we take into account the fact that the serial assembly will start already at the end of this year, the first crossovers should be released in the first quarter of the next, 2016th. In general, so far, potential buyers can only follow the information related to this topic.
