Largus van cargo compartment dimensions and load capacity

What is the carrying capacity of the Lada-Largus: comparison with competitors

The certified carrying capacity of all modifications of the Lada Largus, calculated as the difference between the curb and gross weights of the vehicle, has the following values:

445 kg for a 5-seater station wagon;
480 kg for the 7-seater version and for Largus Cross;
750 kg for a van.

Undoubtedly, the characteristics are impressive for a B-class family car, and the Largus van is comparable to the capabilities of representatives of the commercial LCV segment, such as the GAZ-2752 Sobol.

However, considering cargo capabilities only in terms of payload is not entirely correct. After all, humanity invented trucks to transport cinder blocks and floor slabs. And for a typical station wagon owner, the most important thing is to answer the question of whether he can carry ten packs of insulation at a time, and whether a two-meter refrigerator will fit into the cabin.

Therefore, it is possible to more objectively assess the cargo capabilities of the Lada Largus based on the volume of the luggage compartment and its dimensions (depth, width and height).

In addition, we should not forget about the price component: the Audi allroad station wagon with a three-liter engine has a comparable maximum load capacity of 500 kg, but the cost is equal to 8.5 Largus.

Interior of Lada Largus according to owner reviews

Reviews of the owners of the model about it will help to perfectly summarize the review of the Lada Largus interior. Having summarized all the responses, we can confidently state that the car’s interior satisfies the desires and needs of all its owners. Of course, it is not without some shortcomings, but it still has more positive features. Regarding the latter, the owners highlight the following advantages of the Largus salon:

spaciousness;
convenient location of almost all pockets, cup holders, etc.;
comfortable organization of seats;
interior functionality;
absence of unnecessary elements.

Despite such a positive characteristic, the owners of the model often highlighted some shortcomings of its internal design. The general list of these is as follows:

not very comfortable rear door handles;
inconvenient location of some buttons (for example, the horn button);
inconvenient location of the window lifter keys.

With the exception of these shortcomings in the interior of the Lada Largus, its characteristics are positive both in terms of functionality and in terms of design solutions.

In general, the interior of the model is very similar to its prototype - Renault Logan, which has been noted more than once by experienced car enthusiasts and car experts. The main difference between the interiors of the two cars is that the Lada Largus was adapted for the Russian car market. There’s definitely nothing bad to say about the interior of the model. In general terms, it represents a fairly well-designed and high-quality interior of a small class car. We hope the material presented above was useful to you. Good luck on the roads!

The characteristics of the Lada Largus are unique when compared with the characteristics of other domestic cars. The first 7-seater affordable station wagon appeared thanks to the French concern Renault, which has been assembling Logan in a universal body in Romania since 2006.

The domestic Lada Largus has two power units from Renault with a capacity of 84 and 105 horsepower. The 1.6 liter petrol engine has two versions with 8 and 16 valves. But the main distinguishing characteristic of the Lada Largus is, of course, its dimensions and huge wheelbase, which made it possible to accommodate the third row of seats.

Length – 4,470 mm
Width – 1,750 mm
Height – 1,636 mm (with rails 1,670)
Base, distance between front and rear axle – 2,905 mm
Front and rear wheel tracks – 1469 and 1466 mm, respectively
Trunk volume – 560 liters (in the 7-seater version 135 liters, in the van 2,540 liters!)
Fuel tank size – 50 liters

The ground clearance of Lada Largus is 160 millimeters. The most interesting thing is that the Romanian brother Logan MCV has a smaller one. However, the Russian version received a stronger suspension, and with it an increase in ground clearance to 16 centimeters.

The weight of the Lada Largus is 1,260 kg (total 1,750) in the five-seater version. The seven-seater Largus has a curb weight of 1,330 kilograms (total 1,810). The Lada Largus van weighs 1,260 kg (full 2,010), so the cargo-passenger version can carry an additional 750 kilograms.

The transmission characteristics of the Lada Largus are as follows; the station wagon is a front-wheel drive car with a single Renault 5-speed manual gearbox. The gear ratio of the main pair is 4.5 for an 84 hp engine. and 4.2 for an engine of 105 horses. The most interesting thing is that for a van where only a low-power motor is installed, this number is 4.9.

, more precisely two Renault engines with 8 and 16 valves. The petrol power unit with a displacement of 1.6 liters has a power of 84 and 105 horsepower, respectively. So, the engine is 1.6 liter 8-valve 84 hp. –

Power hp/kW – 84/62 at 5500 rpm
Torque – 124 Nm at 3000 rpm
Maximum speed – 156 kilometers per hour
Acceleration to the first hundred – 14.5 seconds
Fuel consumption in the combined cycle – 8.2 liters

Largus engine parameters 1.6 liter 16-valve 105 hp. –

Power hp/kW – 105/77 at 5750 rpm
Torque – 147 Nm at 3750 rpm
Maximum speed – 165 kilometers per hour
Acceleration to the first hundred – 13.1 seconds
Fuel consumption in the combined cycle – 7.9 liters

Tire size Lada Largus 185/65 R15 . Moreover, on cheap station wagon trim levels there are 15-inch steel wheels, on more expensive ones they are cast alloy. If in the Lada Granta, for example, the wheel size varies from R13 to R15, then in the Largus there are only 15 inches.

Volume and dimensions of the luggage compartment of the Largus family

So, we present the contenders for the championship title in the category “The most spacious trunk for 500 thousand rubles”:

The 5-seater Lada Largus with a load capacity of up to 445 kg, according to official information from AvtoVAZ, has a luggage compartment with a volume of 560 liters. With the rear row seats folded down, 2,350 liters of usable space are available to accommodate cargo.

The linear dimensions of the compartment have the following values:

Trunk length 90 cm or 174 cm (to the level of the backs of the front seats);
Actual compartment width 134 cm;
The height of the rear door opening is 92 cm.

In the 7-seater modification of the Lada Largus, the load capacity declared by the manufacturer is increased by 35 kg compared to its 5-seater brother due to the reinforced suspension. The trunk is designed for 135 liters of cargo. By folding the backrests of the third row of seats, you can increase the luggage volume to 560 liters. A maximum capacity of 2,350 liters is provided when all rows of seats except the first are folded down. The Lada Largus Cross also shows similar load capacity parameters.

The following video describes the procedure for dismantling the right-side seats for transporting cargo over two meters long:

Warning! Stowing cargo above the openings of the side and rear windows seriously impairs visibility. Be careful when driving so as not to get into an emergency situation.

Another unique modification of Largus is a van, suitable for transporting small quantities of various goods or for use as a traveling vehicle for repairmen, builders and other technical services.

The Largus cargo van has a load capacity of up to 750 kg. The length of the luggage compartment is 194 cm at floor level; at roof level the size is reduced due to the shape of the cabin partition. The floor distance between the rear wheel arches is 96 cm, the actual width of the cargo compartment is 134 cm. The width of the side door opening is about 61 cm.

Reminder! Unless absolutely necessary, you should not exceed the maximum load capacity established by the manufacturer, even if the luggage compartment space allows it. In this case, there is a high probability of damage to the vehicle’s suspension elements.

Asceticism

The only obvious drawback of the Lada-Largus is its deliberate asceticism. The interior of the car has not changed at all since the creation of the first generation Renault Logan. This model contains only the bare minimum. But many car enthusiasts today want to see some additional frills in their cars, such as heated seats and mirrors, modern multimedia, and electronic assistants. The impressive dimensions of the Lada-Largus van, heated front seats, a single-din radio, an ABS system and rear parking sensors are all that are included as standard. The car is equipped with only two airbags and manual air conditioning.

Many cars are created with the aim of setting speed records and most of them captivate with their stylish and original design. The Lada-Largus van, with a body size that allows it to transport large items, was invented specifically for work and family. The car will be able to drive where sports cars with low clearance cannot move. At the same time, drivers will look at the Lada-Largus with real love, because only a working car is considered truly beautiful.

Domestic B-class competitors

Among the products of the Russian automobile industry in the station wagon body are the Lada Priora and Lada Kalina 2 cars.

For the Lada Kalina 2 (VAZ 2194), the name “station wagon” rather informs about the body type than indicates serious load-carrying capacity. The luggage compartment capacity is 355 liters (with the rear row of seats folded - 670 liters), which is comparable to that of full-size sedans. Based on the dimensions of the Kalina platform, the linear dimensions of the luggage compartment are also very modest.

About the main characteristics of the trunk

Today, Lada Largus is produced in three body versions:

basic five-seat station wagon;
a station wagon with more capacity with seven seats;
van (two seats: passenger and driver).

For each of these options, the amount of space in the luggage compartment has its own characteristics. It is not surprising that the van has the largest trunk volume. This is due to the lack of a rear seat row (or two), as well as the elongated body and has 5 seats.

Official data indicates the amount of usable space in this body version is approximately 2500 liters. This modification of the Lada Largus does not have any additional components or components inside the body, since the primary purpose of the van is to transport large cargo.

In a standard station wagon, which has only five seats, the amount of space in the luggage section is significantly less and is equal to 700 liters. If there is a need to transport large loads, then the owner has the opportunity to dismantle the rear row of seats, and therefore the size of the trunk for luggage increases to 1600-1800 volume in liters.

The seven-seater version (minivan) has the most “modest” trunk. Here the capacity does not “shine”, because 200 liters, exactly the volume of the trunk, is not enough for a “substantial” load. Here the manufacturer met his loyal client halfway and endowed this modification with a simple secret, namely: increasing the trunk to the same 1600-1800 volume in liters is also possible by performing an identical operation to dismantle the stern seats. Here you will need to remove two planting rows.

To be fair, we note that a station wagon is not intended for the systematic transportation of large items, since the body for such purposes must have large geometric parameters. Here, the need for endless dismantling of the rear seats contributes to the inconvenience, although the removal procedure itself is quite simple.

Important! The modification of the Lada Largus van is purposefully equipped with a reinforced suspension, because, as already noted, this particular vehicle among the three Largus is designed for transporting large luggage, with an impressive trunk size. Station wagons cannot boast of this useful option.

Trunk size of universal modifications. Here are some parameters:

the opening is 920 mm in height and 980 mm in width;
the height inside the compartment from the bottom to the ceiling plate is 870-930 mm for station wagons and approximately 1000 mm for the van version;
the width of the internal space of the compartment reached 1000 mm when measured along the plane of the arches, and 1450 mm when measured at the level of human shoulders;
the length of the section from the opening itself to the backs of the third seating row is 480 mm, and if it is a five-seat version, then 1570 mm (up to the 2nd row);
If we consider a van, then the length from the edges of the doors to the dividing partition is approximately 1800 mm.

From here we can generate the conclusion that the trunk of the Lada Largus in terms of trunk volume is a very worthy “rival”.

Foreign cars with comparable carrying capacity

If it is difficult to find a car with similar characteristics among ordinary station wagons, you should turn to neighboring classes.

5 and 7-seater options with a spacious trunk are typical for the MPV class, which unites minivans and high-capacity station wagons. Among the typical representatives are Renault Kangoo, Peugeot Partner, Fiat Doblo, Skoda Roomster, Volkswagen Caddy.

Without focusing on the significantly higher cost of these vehicles, we will conduct a comparative analysis of their cargo capabilities:

Renault Kangoo is available as a 5-seater minivan with a payload of 451 kg and a van with a payload of 592 kg. Luggage compartment volume ranges from 660 liters as standard to 1,524 liters for vans and minivans with the rear seats folded down.
The Skoda Roomster is designed for 5 seats and can accommodate from 450 to 1555 liters of luggage weighing 455 kg.
Peugeot Partner in minivan format (5 seats) with a luggage compartment of up to 2800 liters and in a van modification of up to 2830 liters can carry up to 600 kg of luggage.
Volkswagen Caddy for 5 or 7 passengers takes up to 665 kg of cargo in the trunk. The volume of the compartment, depending on the configuration of the seats, ranges from 750 to 3300 liters. The Caddy Maxi van with an extended wheelbase has a luggage compartment volume of 4.2 m3.

Station wagon, minivan and van - are there any differences inside the cars?

Many car enthusiasts know that the Lada Largus is available in three body styles: station wagon, minivan and van. The options do not have any special differences, except for one “but” - they have a different number of seats:

The standard station wagon has 5 seats and a medium-sized trunk (560 liters).

The extended station wagon, also known as a minivan, has 7 seats and a small trunk (170 liters).

The van has only 2 seats - one for the driver, the other for the front passenger. This Largus variation has an extended trunk (about 2000 liters), which is needed for transporting large cargo.

Apart from the number of seats, there are no differences in the interior design of all variants of the Lada Largus. The general concept of the interior is determined based on the selected configuration:

in cars with a budget set of options, the interior has an “economy class” character, featuring standard AvtoVAZ upholstery: fabric seat covers and a lot of plastic;

in models with a more “advanced” set of options, the interior is necessarily complemented by leather upholstery of the steering wheel, seats and some parts of the interior upholstery; in addition, in the interior design you can find various multimedia additions and upgraded components of standard equipment.

Important! The general interior concept for all variations of the Lada Largus is the same. The final design format is determined not by the chosen body option, but by the specific configuration.

Luggage compartment dimensions

Based on the above, we can conclude that the dimensions of the luggage compartment of any version of the Lada Largus are quite impressive. The general dimensions of this compartment for the models are as follows:

opening height is 920 mm;
the opening width is 980 mm;
the height of the luggage compartment to the ceiling is from 870 to 930 mm for universal models and up to 1000 mm for a van;
trunk length is 480–1570 mm for station wagons up to the 3rd and 2nd row of seats;
The length of the van's luggage compartment is 1800 mm to the dividing wall;
luggage compartment width – 1000–1450 mm.

Rear cabin

Of course, the front part of the cabin of any car is more interesting to consider, since it is a kind of transport control center. Despite this, when studying the interior of the Lada Largus, it would be a crime to ignore a detailed examination of the rear of the cabin. To be fair, we note that there is something to see here too.

To begin with, let us remind you that in Largus the rear part of the cabin can be:

or 5 armchairs (three and two of them are made as separate solid sofas);
or 3 armchairs (made as a solid sofa);
or a regular luggage compartment with a large capacity.

A pleasant difference between any organization of the rear part of the interior of the Lada Largus is that it is quite spacious. Moreover, any owner of this model, if desired, can remove the rear seats and personally turn his car into a van. Photos of the Lada Largus interior with 5 seats and 7 seats illustrating this concept are presented below.

The rear seats in Largus have comfortable head pillows for passengers, integrally built into the seat frame. There are standard seat belts on the sides of each seat. The rear doors are required to have armrests. In addition, the rear part of the cabin is filled with a considerable number of pockets, cup holders and similar containers for passengers’ belongings, which is simply good news.

The specific interior design in this area of the car is also determined based on the selected configuration of the Lada Largus and is similar to the front part (see photo below).

Important! The rear part of the cabin in Largus does not have any specific features, but it is made of very high quality and competently, which allows passengers to move comfortably in the car and behind it.

Are there any competitors?

Due to its body layout, the Lada Largus does not have a large number of its “opponents,” especially in the market spaces of the CIS countries. This can be partly explained by moderate demand. If we again tend to limit ourselves only to post-Soviet market areas, then we are unlikely to find a worthy competitor to this station wagon in terms of carrying capacity. Impressive figures can serve as a simple confirmation of this:

the van is able to overcome a weight of 800 kg;
the station wagon can handle a 650-kilogram load, the volume in liters allows this.

Competitors are only able to get closer to these indicators, because their load capacity is at the level of 450-600 kg. The list of dimensional characteristics of the Largus trunk may bring a little disappointment, because in this discipline the station wagon is not a leader, but it is not “tagging along” in the “tail of the tournament bracket”.

Detailed information regarding the dimensions is most clearly reflected in the following table: As you can see, two positive aspects speak in favor of the universal “Russian woman”:

enviable convenience when loading luggage, especially large ones, which is facilitated by the door opening limit (reaches 180 degrees with the doors fully turned out); Not a single universal model can boast of this feature;
reasonable cost of the car, which is especially noticeable in comparison with famous competitors.

Important! Against the background of the entire set of indicators characterizing the versatility of the LADA Largus, it can be unequivocally stated that the domestic model, although in some minor disciplines loses to its rivals, in general terms, against their background it looks very decent and advantageous. Here, few will argue with the functionality of the “Russian woman”.
