One of the main events of MIAS 2018 was the presentation of the new Lada Granta family, which was presented in four body types (sedan, liftback, hatchback and station wagon). The price of this car has remained virtually unchanged, but the model has received a lot of updates. All the features of the new Granta are presented in the video.
LADA Granta – configurations in 2020-2021
Production of Granta began back in 2011. Initially, the sedan version was released based on the Lada Kalina, later a liftback appeared. And in 2021, Kalina and Granta were connected and Granta began production in various trim levels.
Having undergone changes in 2021, the car has noticeably freshened up. The headlights have become the same as those on one of the older versions of Lada Vesta.
This article will discuss the main changes in the Lada Granta 2020-2021, namely equipment, engine, gearbox, and I will write a personal opinion.

In the Russian Federation, a new modification of Lada Granta costs between 488,000 and 682,800 rubles . Produced in 7 configurations. The price at dealerships depends on the selected version and additional options.
- Standard – 488,900 rub.

Technical characteristics of LADA Granta 2020-2021
The car's engine is eight-valve, with a power of 97 horsepower. The five-speed gearbox is the most reliable, repairable and universal in Russian road conditions.
The power unit of the new Granta is more high-torque. Fuel consumption has increased within reasonable limits. If the old versions of Grants spent 4.9 - 5.2 liters of gasoline per 100 km, then the new ones require 5.5 -5.6 liters per 100 km. Depending on the time of year, fuel consumption increases. For example, in winter, to travel 100 km, a car will need 6 - 6.2 liters of gasoline.
The 106 horsepower engine also has a five-speed manual transmission. But of course, it is faster and more expensive. On lower versions of cars, the price of this engine is more affordable. A robotic gearbox is cheaper, but in a metropolis, a full-fledged automatic transmission is the best solution in terms of convenience and control.
Adjusting the driver's seat
I would also say that the adjustment of the driver's seat in the range of 40 mm is also convenient. The rain sensor is an indispensable assistant during slush and unstable weather. You don't have to be distracted by cleaning glass. Exterior mirrors are heated and equipped with an electric drive; gear shifting is as comfortable and convenient as possible in city traffic.
Rain sensor
Of course, this car does not have perfect handling, but it is well suited for Russian roads. The Lada Granta has a durable suspension, excellent ride quality on uneven surfaces, excellent cross-country ability and good handling despite the height.
Electric drive
The length of the car is 3926 mm, width – 1700 mm, and height – 1500 mm. The wheel reaches up to 2476 mm, and the ground clearance is 145 mm.
Automatic transmission
Provides classic AT functionality, the most comfortable gear shifting and driving in city traffic.
Suspension
Grant is not a champion on the race track. It does not shine with refined handling on the “parquet” floor. Here it is reliable in taxiing, but no more. But in Russia there are few truly smooth roads. To understand Granta's abilities, we need to shift the coordinate system. How to compare a car with a ground clearance of 195 mm in running order and 160 mm when fully loaded? Yes, with a single-wheel drive crossover!
The Granta has an almost impenetrable suspension, excellent ride quality on crushing and undulating surfaces, excellent cross-country ability for a single-wheel drive and very good handling for such a tall passenger car, and even with high-profile tires.
Dimensions
The car is 3926 mm long, 1700 mm wide and 1500 mm high. The wheelbase of this car reaches 2476 mm, and the ground clearance is 145 mm.

configurations and prices technical characteristics cannot be called outstanding, extraordinary or ultra-modern.
No, because we are talking about the “budget”. Moreover, some solutions (for example, two two-pedal versions of the scale) seem strange at first. But, if you watch the Lada Granta 2020 test drive video
, you can find logical explanations in these videos. The suspension system, as usual, is configured for maximum comfort when driving, including through pits. But at the same time the car behaves collectedly.
Dimensions Length varies from 4 to 4.25 meters, depending on body type. Other dimensions remain unchanged. The width is 1.7, and the height is one and a half meters. Wheelbase - almost 2.48 m. Ground clearance - almost off-road 18 cm. After all, the surface in our country is sometimes very bad, it’s difficult without high ground clearance.
Motors and transmissions
About the car Lada Granta 2020
recent news reports that the volume of engines that are installed in Tolyatti on these cars is only
The rated fuel consumption, of course, is higher than that of the “Europeans” with their small-capacity turbo engines. But Grantu’s naturally aspirated engines are simpler in design and much cheaper – and this is very important.
Eight-valve cars are content with a five-speed manual transmission. For more powerful Grants, an AMT “robot” or a four-band classic “automatic” from the famous Japanese company Jatco are offered as an alternative. Why two boxes? For selection. After all, about the Lada Granta 2020
The latest news says that, for example, car sharing companies only choose a unit with a torque converter. “Robot” doesn’t suit them fundamentally.

The side part of the body is quite simple in design. The large headlights and spoiler-shaped stampings also look simple. The rear bumper does not have fog lights or reflectors. The interior decoration is minimalist. The finishing is made from cheap materials. The console houses an audio system with a single-color display and climate control with three dials. But the instrument panel is made with high quality. It is worth noting the presence of daytime running lights, tinted windows, 14 inch steel wheels and a spare wheel.
Cars produced from 2021 to 2021 will be equipped with the ERA-GLONASS system with an emergency call button located on the ceiling.

- Light window tinting
- 14″ steel wheels
