VAZ 21111 - unpretentious and versatile assistant

VAZ 21111 (the second name is Lada 111) is the first station wagon produced by the Volzhsky Automobile Plant since the time of the Quartet. It is positioned as a family city car and a machine for traveling. An indispensable assistant will be for those whose activities are connected with the transportation of bulky goods, which is problematic to place in the trunk of a sedan or a hatchback. Serially the car is issued since 1998, and its main advantages are: increased comfort, stability on the road and smooth running.

The luggage compartment is a special occasion for the pride of VAZ 21111. Product specifications: load capacity - 500 kg, volume - 490 liters. The volume with the folded back of the rear seat - 1420 liters - a solid figure, is not it? The back folds into a flat floor, which is very convenient. Also very useful and the opportunity to add only a part of the seat in order to carry both passengers and cargo at the same time. An additional 50 kg of cargo can be placed on the roof rack.

A robust sturdy body allows you to tow a trailer with brakes weighing up to a thousand pounds. In the cabin, however surprisingly, without the creation of discomfort to each other will be able to accommodate 5 people at once. With such indicators, the car can be called a van, and not a universal.

The body of the VAZ 21111 is fixed to the bearing frame at ten points by means of rubber-metal elements. This design makes the body more durable and durable, and also helps reduce noise and vibration in the cabin. The elongated base and independent rear suspension allow the car to confidently move and smoothly enter corners even at high speeds. The universal is equipped with a steering column, adjustable in angle.

With regard to the operating conditions of VAZ 21111, the owners' feedback shows that the car behaves correctly at temperatures from -40 to +35 degrees Celsius. In order not to remain in the car one-on-one with the elements, SAUO and BSK systems are provided. The purpose of the first (SAUO - automatic heating control system) is to maintain the preset temperature in the cabin in automatic mode. The purpose of the on-board control system (BSC) is to monitor the levels of technical fluids, the condition of the brake pads, the serviceability of the outdoor light bulbs, alert the driver with signals of faults.

In conditions of functioning, the VAZ 21111 engine maintains high performance, the car can easily overcome the rises at an angle of 34 degrees. Good experience in such conditions and grip.

On the car, as a rule, power units of two variants are installed: with electronic system of ignition and with electronically controlled multi-point injection. The 1.5 l engine with eight valves demonstrates good dynamic performance with moderate fuel consumption. The second - a 16-valve one and a half-liter - provides increased power, which gives the station wagon a certain advantage in dynamics. Thus, with a greater overall weight compared with the sedan (20 kg), the smoothness of the station wagon even increased.
