The debut of the Lada Grant took place back in 2011 at one of the automobile exhibitions of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant products. The range of models is typical: sedan, hatchback, sport.

The price for the basic configuration started from 400,000 thousand rubles per copy. Despite the budget price, not everyone could afford to buy a new car. Alternative option- a used car.

Granta with mileage in the middle price segment

The cost of Lada Granta used varies. The year of manufacture plays a key role.

We can trace the differentiation in the following table:

Year of issue	Cost, rub.)
2011, 2012, 2013	290000 - 325000
2014, 2015, 2016	350000 - 365000
2017, 2018	from 370000

LADA Granta Sport differs in price from the basic version by 10 - 15% upward.

This difference is explained by improved technical characteristics:

• alloy 16-inch wheels;
• low profile tires;
• stock tires of the Yokohama brand;
• front and rear brakes of increased diameter, specially adapted for high-speed conditions. The main difference from the basic ones is increased heat transfer;
• reduced ground clearance by 2.0 cm;
• front, rear shock absorbers filled with inert gas.

Obviously, the price of the used Granta Sport will be changed depending on the actual configuration.

What to look for when choosing a used model

Before the purchase technical means, especially a used one, it is recommended to hire a specialist to help service center. This will help to carry out a high-quality comprehensive diagnosis and visually assess the general technical condition car, identify most of the breakdowns and defects.

In the presence of own experience, using the services of specialists is not at all necessary, but it is advisable.
Typical vulnerabilities Granta Sport used:

1. wheel arches: places where corrosion and deposits form;
2. joints of body parts, seams, openings;
3. rubber seals for windshield, rear and side windows;
4. seal leak front wheel drive on the left / right side;
5. degree of wear of the drive belt;
6. corrosion of the “cups” of the rear shock absorbers.

The list of defects is not exhaustive and is for informational purposes only. In each case there will be new damage.

Advantages of buying a used Lada Granta

• efficiency in fuel consumption;
• maintenance costs, technical inspections on the Middle level;
• good price-quality ratio;
• possibility of choosing a complete set;
• numerous service centers;
• availability, promptness of ordering with subsequent delivery of spare parts and components;
  relative simplicity of the design of the mechanisms. If you have minimal experience in maintenance, most of the work can be carried out independently, without the help of service station specialists. Which significantly reduces the cost of maintenance.

Along with multiple positive factors, take into account the following negative ones:

1. a used car can become a frequent “guest” in your garage, inspection hole, ONE HUNDRED. It is almost impossible to predict when a particular part will break;
2. If you do not have skills in servicing equipment, carry out all work in a workshop. This is not always justified by the allocated budget;
3. the moment comes overhaul power unit, chassis, front / rear suspension. And also, cosmetic repairs of body elements and paintwork.

Why are there so many broken Lada Grantas on the secondary market?

If we look objectively at each of the brands/models, then the number of broken ones will be at the same level. The problem is typical for any technical means. The reason lies in driving skills, car control, style and manner of driving.

The vast majority of accidents occur due to excess speed limit, violation of established rules. Unfortunately, drivers love to drive around, which ends in an emergency.

To summarize and answer the question: is it possible to buy a used Granta - it is definitely possible and necessary. If you have enough budget to purchase a more expensive brand, choose the latter.

You need to be more careful when choosing a used car than when purchasing a new one. Even after only two or three years of using the machine, the likelihood of breakdowns and other unpleasant surprises increases greatly. RIA Novosti continues a series of materials in which it tells future car owners about the advantages and disadvantages different models in the second-hand market.

This time the subject of our study was Lada Granta. The sedan with the factory index VAZ-2190 went on sale at the end of 2011, and in 2014 the line was supplemented with a five-door liftback modification (index VAZ-2191).

Lada Granta is still a hit Russian market new cars. According to the Association of European Businesses, in June 2017 this model became an absolute bestseller, surpassing the Korean couple Hyundai Solaris and Kia Rio. But on secondary market Granta is not the most popular car: many say that it doesn’t make sense to buy it. The average price of a used Granta is 300 thousand rubles, and for 390 thousand you will have a completely new car (with trade-in and loan discounts - for 329 thousand). And if cars of the first years of production cost approximately 240 thousand, then one-year-old ones cost about the same 380 thousand! However, this review will be equally useful for both buyers of the new Granta and those who are looking at the old copy.

“Zhiguli” is the subject of an eternal dispute among motorists: some are uncompromisingly against domestic cars, and no arguments will ever convince them, others are trying to find Lada pros and compare them with foreign cars. However, jokes about the Russian auto industry are no longer as funny as they were five to ten years ago. Take, for example, Granta paintwork. Like many budget cars, it is thin here, and after small stones get into the body, a chip will certainly form at the point of impact. Foci of corrosion appear there, but they do not spread across the body, the varnish does not crack around it, and the rust does not eat through the metal in these places.

Car LADA Granta

The bottom of the car, sills and other “rotting” parts located below are better protected and treated with an anti-corrosion coating, but its layer is also quite thin. It is almost impossible to choose a car completely free of chips and rust, unless it has been completely painted, and this is a good reason to suspect that the car was involved in an accident. The body needs to be inspected very carefully, and it is better to choose those copies in which the previous owner has added additional anti-corrosion protection.

Knocks and glitches

From budget car Lada Granta level, you shouldn’t expect soft plastic in the interior or high-quality leather upholstery. It is assembled in a spartan manner: sound insulation is minimal, even in the cabin new car creaks immediately appear, but without any global destruction. Everything is securely screwed and suspended, except that some owners complain about the plastic door bushings, due to which they open and close with difficulty. unpleasant sound and squeak while driving.

Salon LADA car Granta

At subzero temperatures, a cracking sound appears in the windshield area, which was eliminated on cars manufactured in 2014 and later. In heavy rain, the windshield wiper motor can flood, causing them to break. On cars without an air conditioning system, there are no belt tension rollers, which is why the alternator bearings often fail on early copies. In mid-2012, Grants began installing a Bosch generator, and the shortcoming was eliminated. For vehicles with tension rollers its own problem - the belt is tensioned so tightly that by five thousand kilometers it can break. When choosing a used car, it is worth checking both the belt itself and the performance of the generator.

Car LADA Granta

The “childhood disease” of the Lada Granta was the thermostat, due to the breakdown of which it became too cold in the cabin, and the engine did not warm up to the required temperature. Later, this problem was fixed at the factory, and now it is unlikely that there will be at least one owner who has not solved it. The headlights of the model do not cause any complaints and even shine well, but tail lights may sweat - the reason is in the ventilation holes.

Over the years, AvtoVAZ carried out several service campaigns to eliminate defects that caused the fuel pipe to fray on models with a manual transmission: at services official dealers protective linings were installed. Two more Lada Granta recalls were related to the possible failure of the airbag control unit and defects brake system. But in general, the brakes are reliable: the “original” pads have to be changed approximately once every 50-60 thousand kilometers, and with them, most likely, the brake discs.

The strong point of all AvtoVAZ cars is omnivorous suspensions, which don’t even care about off-road conditions. True, this is the lot of cars with expensive trim levels; on basic versions, owners often complain about excessive rigidity. Quite often, while driving over uneven surfaces, you can hear a metallic knock - this is indicated by the racks of the Skopinsky Automotive Aggregate Plant (SAAZ). There is no point in running for new ones - this is the peculiarity of their work, but you can replace them with a more reliable analogue, and then the sound will disappear. By 30 thousand kilometers they may fail wheel bearings, on which wheel exactly - fortune will decide, while the bearings on other wheels can travel up to one hundred thousand kilometers. The remaining non-consumable suspension elements last 100 and even 200 thousand kilometers.

Be sure to pay attention to alloy wheels: if they are “native”, they can be straightened more than once, since they have a tendency to bend even when they fall into a small hole. Lada Granta in basic configuration“Standard” ones are equipped with a conventional steering rack, everything that is more expensive is equipped with an electric power steering (EPS). Over time steering rack with an electric power steering, it may start to rattle, but there will be no problems with handling or steering play. Another feature: cable parking brake - sore spot model, it has to be tightened almost once every six months, and sometimes it even breaks.

Standard Lada Granta multimedia systems with touch screen, navigation and wireless communication support are a pleasant gift for such inexpensive car. Be sure to check all the functions of this device: there have been cases when, due to failures in the electronics, it was necessary to change the instrument panel where navigation prompts are displayed.

Car LADA Granta

It is not uncommon for the turn signal lamps in a Lada Granta to suddenly stick: they continue to light even when the car is turned off and locked. This is the first call indicating a malfunction of the central body electronics unit (CBEC). Sometimes dismantling the corresponding fuse helps, but you can also end up with expensive repairs of the entire CBKE. In general, all consumable spare parts for the Grant are inexpensive.

Different powers

From the point of view of the average person, the Lada Granta has only one engine - a 1.6-liter in several power options. But from a technical point of view, these are four completely different engines(the fifth is equipped with the Lada Granta Sport, but this is a topic for another discussion). The weakest is the eight-valve 82-horsepower (132 Nm) unit VAZ-11183-50, which the model is no longer equipped with. It is easy to maintain and is equipped with a reliable timing belt drive. If the belt breaks, and this can even happen ahead of schedule recommended replacement (75 thousand kilometers), the valves will not collide with the pistons. It is enough to carry a spare timing belt with you, which can be changed at the nearest service center.

AvtoVAZ has started serial production of the LADA Granta

The VAZ-11186 engine is more powerful - 87 hp. and 140 Nm. It is built on the basis of the VAZ-11183-50 engine, but with lightweight connecting rod and piston group(SHPG). This made it possible to reduce noise and fuel consumption and make the engine more flexible, but, alas, you have to pay for comfort. When the timing belt breaks, in one hundred percent of cases the valves bend, which leads to expensive repairs. Among other things, you will have to replace the pistons, guides and valve stem seals. The condition of the timing belt must be monitored, and after purchasing a used car, it is better to replace it immediately.

The next two engines are 16-valve 98 hp. (145 Nm) and 106 hp. (148 Nm). Units with the indices VAZ-21126 and VAZ-21127 are structurally similar and have the same drawback as an eight-valve engine with a lightweight ShPG: if the timing belt breaks, the owner is doomed to repair. The 106-horsepower version is preferred - and not only because of the power. Lada Granta received this engine in 2013, and it was significantly modernized: instead of a mass air flow sensor in intake manifold An absolute pressure sensor was installed, which increased reliability and efficiency; the manifold itself became variable in length. Its only drawback over its less powerful brother is the increased transport tax.

By pedals

Lada Granta is equipped with three types of transmissions: mechanical, automatic and robotic. The most popular (almost 90% of all cars on the secondary market) is a five-speed manual transmission. For the first year of its life, the Grants were equipped with the time-tested VAZ-1118 transmission. This unit serves for a long time, but throughout this period it will be annoying with the characteristic Zhiguli howl while driving. In cold weather, the gearbox lever begins to “get stuck” in the thickened oil and moves hard, which can be solved by replacing the oil with a synthetic one (viscosity 75w90). On long runs It is imperative to check the tightness: lubricant may leak through the gear selector rod oil seal. The oil in the gearbox needs to be changed every 75 thousand kilometers.

Lever of manual transmission of LADA Granta car

Since October 15, 2012, AvtoVAZ began installing a modernized manual transmission VAZ-2181 (except for the basic “Standard” configuration). Instead of a gear drive with one rod, the box received cable drive from Japanese Atsumitec. This made it possible to get rid of unpleasant vibrations on the lever, reduce backlash and make shifting clearer. The volume of oil poured decreased by a third (it became 2.2 liters), which became synthetic: the need to replace it in regions with cold climates disappeared by itself. In addition, the oil is now filled for the entire service life of the transmission, but after five years or 200 thousand kilometers it is still better to carry out this procedure.

Lever of the robotic transmission of the LADA Granta car

Just over 10% of cars on the secondary market are equipped with automatic transmissions. The rarest are robotic ones with one clutch; Lada Granta received them not so long ago - at the beginning of 2015. The “robot” is made on the basis of the above-mentioned five-speed “mechanics”, but with an electromechanical drive unit from the German company ZF. So far there are very few complaints about it, except for the peculiar operation inherent in many analogues: the box frankly “slows down” when switching.

More common is the four-speed automatic transmission Jatco (index JF414E). Overall it is very reliable and works without the need for maintenance for more than 100 thousand kilometers. IN in rare cases You can identify cars in which differential bearings whistle or oil seals leak. In the event of a major overhaul or replacement of the transmission, you must be prepared for large expenses - about 100 thousand rubles.

Safety

In the basic version, the Lada Granta of the first years did not even have an anti-lock brake system (ABS), but received at least a driver's airbag. The only crash test in Europe Euro methodology NCAP was conducted by Autoreview in 2012 at a training ground in the Czech Republic. Out of 16 possible points for a frontal impact on a crushed barrier at a speed of 64 km/h, the sedan scored 8.4, which corresponds to a rating of two stars out of five possible.

In more expensive versions, the Lada Granta was equipped with ABS and a second additional airbag, as well as front seat belt pretensioners. A crash test of this version of the car, carried out by Autoreview in 2015, showed that passive safety models above: 10.7 points out of 16 and three stars out of five, according to the Euro NCAP methodology. The new “Grants” already have one airbag as standard equipment, anti-lock braking system power brakes emergency braking(ABS+BAS), electronic system brake force distribution (EBD), child mounts ISOFIX seats, blocking the rear doors from opening by children and daytime running lights.

Looking at this car through the prism of the price tag, you forgive it everything. Granta is far from an ideal of quality and reliability, but its popularity on the market suggests that buyers are ready for a compromise. Let's try to find out what its price is.

The 2017 new car sales champion cannot be ignored on the secondary market. Before purchasing Grants, you need to understand one thing. On one side of the scale is the fact that this is the most affordable car on the market. And not only in the car showroom, but also in further maintenance. And the second reason for such cheapness: problems with corrosion and weak body, electrical and electronics, chassis, with interior, box...

However, not everything is as bad as one might expect. By 2014, the manufacturer had identified and eliminated some of the “childhood diseases.” I changed suppliers of a number of components, worked on the quality of welding and painting, and carried out several reviews. And yet problems remain.

There's nothing to be ashamed of

Be prepared, everything can fail. If after 2012 the costs of a failing generator bearing (the generator was replaced with a Bosch one) and a jamming thermostat disappeared, then VAZ started dealing with corrosion problems only in 2014. Owners of later models began to complain less frequently about “blooming” chips on the hood, corrosion of doors under vibration insulation and rust under seals that do not fit tightly to the door edges.

Lada Granta Sport. Released since 2013, price on the secondary market from 300,000 rubles. This version is distinguished not only by a 118-horsepower engine and acceleration to hundreds in 9.5 seconds, but also by the correct wheels, as well as slightly reinforced brakes and a manual transmission.

But there are “misunderstandings” with the multimedia system and on-board computer remained. They don't want to work here correctly. The touchscreen is slow, does not immediately respond to touch, and the system refuses to read some formats. In addition, the media system is often at odds with dashboard. And the on-board computer, for example, is not always ready to show real consumption fuel. Although in terms of efficiency there is nothing to be ashamed of “Grant”.
