VAZ 211440: technical specifications

The modern automobile market is as diverse as ever. Most large manufacturers create dozens of models, occupying the narrowest niches in the struggle for a picky and extremely demanding buyer. In Russia, a lot of popular domestic cars that have come from under the wing of AvtoVAZ. In this article we will talk with you about one of the models of this company - VAZ-211440. Interior and exterior design, handling, technical characteristics, tuning possibilities - all this you will find below.

Redesign

This model came off the assembly line in 2007 (the serial production of the original 2114 began in April 2003), gaining unprecedented popularity among millions of drivers. VAZ-211440 is a 5-door hatchback, also known by a different name - Samara-2. It is a modernization of VAZ-2109 (in the common people - "nine"). Most of the changes touched the front of the body, they significantly influenced the appearance of the car. The release of the model was a continuation of the trend, implying the sale of "family" cars, well suited for Russian roads. The latter, as is known, do not differ in impeccable quality. The production of the VAZ-211440 modification, the photo of which is presented in our article, continued until December 2013.

For 10 years of release (the base version of 2114) the car became one of the most sold models ever leaving the walls of AvtoVAZ. The car is the best option for a family car for people with a limited budget. Its cost ranges from 150 to 200 thousand rubles. By the way, initially the model was called VAZ-2114, but since 2003 the production of modification with improved engine and ecological class began. Our hero is a terrific car that combines good technical characteristics, comfort and design. In 2013, he was succeeded by "Lada-Priora", which also became popular.

Appearance of the car

The exterior of the car deserves much praise, although there is not the slightest hint of luxury here. The model attracts the eye with smooth lines and a pretty slanted optic. Looking at the car from different angles, it can be noted that the design of the VAZ-211440 favorably differs from its predecessor with a new hood, bumper, headlights and radiator lining. The design of the car has become more European, recalling some models of Renault, Dacia and Opel. This adaptation to Western analogues attracted a lot of attention from potential buyers, who immediately liked this machine. New wings and moldings became two more elements, which underwent noticeable changes. As for the bumper, it was slightly raised relative to the ground, so that the car could travel not only along the city streets, but also country roads. The rear part of the body almost did not change.

The car VAZ-211440 became much more stable and maneuverable during the ride, which contributed to a low landing. Stunning aerodynamic qualities make you feel more confident on the road, which can not but rejoice. Engineers completed the machine with 14-inch wheels on stamped disks. The dimensions have practically not changed since the times of the "nine", amounting to 4.12 meters in length, 1.65 in width and 1.4 in height.

Car Interior

As in the case with the appearance, our heroine's salon became more refined, impressing with modern design and equipment. Of course, Western competitors remain far ahead, but also the price of a Russian car is appropriate. Despite the relatively cheap materials and plastic of solid grades, it's nice to be inside the machine. Some details are frankly pleasing to the eye. In the maximum configuration, the hatchback boasts a good instrument panel, an on-board computer, heated seats, electric windows for the front doors, a new torpedo and a heating system. In general, the work was done a lot. Despite the use in the decoration of mostly inexpensive materials, good ergonomics and docking of panels in the interior immediately gives a feeling of good quality and thoughtfulness of each detail.

The onboard computer displays the necessary minimum of useful information. It is felt that the developers thought about noise isolation. The sounds of the engine and the environment are now not so clearly penetrated into the interior, making the trip more comfortable and pleasant. Of course, this is a curiosity for drivers who have migrated from junior models.

The car is very spacious, it is easy to accommodate five adults. The rear row of seats has the ability to fold, allowing a significant increase in the volume of the trunk. The latter is especially true for long trips or transportation of bulky items. Finally, the doors of the car were equipped with a special mechanism, which allowed them to open almost 90 degrees, which facilitated the landing and disembarkation.

VAZ-211440: technical specifications, fuel consumption and gearbox

At the announcement of the model no one expected a big breakthrough. We have a typical budget with a 82-horsepower 1.5-liter engine. The power index has increased since the time of the predecessor, where it was 72 horsepower. Initially, the machine was equipped with an 8-valve engine with a volume of 1.5 liters, but in 2009, engineers replaced this part (VAZ 211440-26 and 211440-24 versions) with a more efficient one by putting a 16-valve petrol engine with a volume of 1.6 liters. Power increased to 89 horsepower.

In this model, the position of the catalyst was shifted toward the motor. In the "nine" it was located under the bottom. The engine, in turn, was clothed in a decorative cover. As for the transmission, the car is equipped with a 5-speed "mechanics" and an enhanced grip. The progress of the transmissions is simple and without any special effort. Tandem motor - the box as a whole is quite good. The fuel consumption in the urban cycle is less than 7 liters per 100 kilometers. Finally, we will provide the figures characterizing the technical characteristics of the speed dial in the VAZ-211440. The machine is able to develop 185 km / h. Acceleration to 100 km / h is achieved in 11 seconds, which is quite good for this class.

Control

Surely many people are interested in the question: "What is the machine in motion and how is it managed?" The answer is rather predictable - better than all its predecessors. The car behaves quite easy on the road. On sharp turns it does not enter, and the trajectory changes not so sharply and chaotically, as it was observed in younger models. Picking up a high speed, the car behaves predictably, and overtaking is given to it without much difficulty, despite the weak technical component.

Potholes of decent size, pits, all kinds of irregularities, tram rails - all this goes without squeaks, knocking and breakdowns. Suspension is dense, moderately rigid. The body does not creak, and plastic, too, does not produce annoying sounds.

Car tuning

Speaking about tuning cars, it is necessary to take into account many subtleties arising at such an interesting process. Carrying out the tuning of VAZ-211440, spare parts for which are not very expensive, one should remember about the norms requiring coordination with competent persons. Before you begin to improve your car, you need to contact the traffic police authorities, providing them with a statement that talks about the planned changes in the design of the car. This is a mandatory item, neglecting which, you can get a rather big fine. Further, officials issue a permit containing the conditions for processing and the procedure for issuing a document confirming the technical safety of the vehicle. If global changes are planned, an evaluation of specialists is required, as well as attached technical documentation.

Upon completion of the technical work, the owner of the machine must provide one more statement, where it is necessary to indicate all the changes made, their scale and quality. Then the owner of the car sends it to the inspection, after which the data is recorded in the registration documents. Works, as you can see, a lot.

Engine tuning

Seriously considering the issue of tuning for a car such as VAZ ("Lada") 211440, it is worth noting the fact that the car is great for such a bold undertaking. Professional modernization will allow it to develop a crazy speed, up to 200 km / h, and will also give excellent handling. This model is ready for a lot of tuning packages, created with different needs and wishes. If you want to "squeeze" out of the car a maximum, there are all possibilities for this. Spare parts can be purchased at car market and in specialized stores. Fortunately, there are many such functions.

One of the most popular modifications is the improvement of the engine, which makes it possible to significantly increase the power of the base motor, or completely replace it with a sports analog. For a small tuning it is enough to make a flashing of the control unit, and also to replace several factory parts. After simple actions the performance of the power unit can increase by 10-15%. If you want to further improve the engine, you need to change the cylinder head, drain the valves and install a new mechanism that distributes the gas.

For these extremals, there are radical methods to increase the power of the motor. For example, you can put a turbine on the VAZ-11440 engine or replace the old crankshaft with a sports version that has an increased stroke of the piston. The latter will provide a greater torque, increasing the performance of the power unit. This option is rather risky, so the decision needs to be approached carefully. There are factory modifications to the engine, an example of which can serve as VAZ-211440 dv. 11183 with increased torque.

Doing the tuning of the transmission, it is necessary to replace the gear ratios. The main gear and series are selected depending on the specific engine types, which you will be told in detail in workshops and shops. Self-locking differentials can significantly increase the transmission of torque to the wheels of the car, allowing you to seriously increase traction "at the bottom" during an intensive set of speed.

Upgrading the suspension

Basic characteristics VAZ-211440 has a good suspension, which allows you to travel on Russian roads without any problems. Nevertheless, fine tuning will make it harder, for which you need to acquire quality shock absorbers. In order to reduce the angles of heel, it is recommended to install rigid stabilizers of lateral stability.

Do not forget about the wheels, if you plan on tuning the suspension. The visual component comes to the fore. For the "fourteenth" there is a wide variety of cast discs available in a variety of specialized stores and markets.

Improvement of appearance

Well, and where without the exterior? Perhaps one of the most popular elements of tuning, designed to improve the appearance of the car - aerodynamic body kit. The car becomes much more beautiful and spectacular, attracting the eyes of passers-by and other drivers. Bumpers, moldings, rear-view mirrors, spoilers - tuning options mass. Qualitative details are very expensive, which should be taken into account. In certain cases, the price of all spare parts can exceed the cost of the machine itself. VAZ-211440 of 2010 of release now costs about 150 thousand rubles. At the same time, only the headlights can cost 30-40 thousand rubles. The most effective design is achieved by the painstaking work of engineers, reworking the bodywork. Typically, the latter consist of the introduction of air inlets on the roof and bonnet, the installation of a spoiler and side borders, the painting of individual parts of the body and the like.

Tuning of salon

The last type of tuning is the modernization of the cabin. Most enthusiasts install LED lighting on the dashboard, which looks very stylish. You can replace the seats for sports versions or more comfortable, made of quality materials. Loading a machine with all kinds of equipment is another method of improvement. Acoustic system, GPS-navigator, heaped up on-board computer - everything will be in place. Finish the tuning can be tinted glass. The main thing is not to overdo it. The interior of the VAZ-211440 is rather conservative and boring, so tuning will go to the car only to the benefit.

Finally

The Russian automobile industry enjoys considerable popularity throughout the territory of the post-Soviet space. In every city or village you can find dozens of cars that have come off the assembly line of the Volga plant. In this article we talked about one of the modifications of VAZ-2114 - VAZ-211440, the technical characteristics of which were slightly improved with respect to the base model. For the entire history of the plant, this machine has become one of the best-selling because of a good design of the interior and exterior, as well as a good engine power, allowing you to gain more speed. The presence of many packages for tuning only popularized the car, which still enjoys considerable demand in the market.
