TOP 5 armrests for Lada Granta: comparison of prices and characteristics
An armrest is a special part of a car seat on which you can rest your arms while driving. It helps relieve stress on the arm muscles during a trip and thus avoid premature driver fatigue.
Armrests for Lada Granta are manufactured by Armster, Alamar and Varta. There are also Chinese-made armrests for this car model.
Original armrests in their original place
The original armrests are made by Armster. They are functional and beautiful black models, with adjustable lift angle between the seats (maximum lift angle is 105 degrees), with a removable top cover and additional space under it, where you can store various travel items, and are also equipped with a pen holder. The main advantage of such an armrest is that it fits perfectly under the required console!

Alamar armrests are equipped with a removable zippered cover, which is available in black and gray, matte or metallic. These armrests are only suitable for cars that do not have height adjustment!

Varta armrests
These handy armrests fit into the rear cup holder so you can use the handbrake with ease. They also have a removable cover made of high-quality leatherette, the so-called “eco-leather,” which is very pleasant to the touch, easy to clean and does not wear out over time. The armrest can withstand a vertical load of up to 80 kg!
Universal armrests
To be honest, in universal armrests, universality has only one name, based on which they should fit any car of any brand. But, unfortunately, this is not the case. Most often, there is a situation where a car owner who has bought such a “universal” armrest has to independently adjust it, tighten it, file it and try to fit it in its normal place. And such manipulations do not always achieve the desired result. Therefore, we strongly recommend not to purchase such armrests.
Procedure for self-installation of the armrest on the Lada Granta Liftback
- We place the car on a flat platform and provide unobstructed access around the perimeter of the doors.
- We take priority safety measures: secure the rear wheels with wheel chocks and engage first gear.
- We do not squeeze the parking brake lever, as it will interfere with the work when installing the accessory.
- We push the front passenger seat as far forward as possible.
- Pull the driver's seat back all the way.
- We unscrew the “thumb” - the driver’s seat backrest tilt adjuster.
- Remove the decorative plate from the side (two “14” bolts);
- We attach the armrest and screw the metal plate back on.
- We complete the assembly and level the seats.
In the case of installing an accessory with a glove box inside, like from Priora, we additionally fix the base to the sides of the slide.

An armrest is one of the popular car accessories that is loved by all car enthusiasts.
The developers of the LADA Granta car did not provide for the presence of an armrest even in the Luxury configuration. And although many owners of this model have no questions about its absence, the majority of them would also like to install it in their car. After all, in general, an armrest is a fairly useful and functional accessory. Having it in the car allows you to keep the necessary things at hand and, in a sense, increases the comfort of the driver and front passenger, providing them with additional support for their hands.
Do you need an armrest in a car?
Some models of cars in the budget segment are sold without a special elbow rest. Drivers quickly get used to it and don’t even notice that their car is missing something. Therefore, a logical question arises: is there any benefit at all from the armrest?
In fact, there is, and it is quite noticeable. The armrest significantly reduces the strain on the arm and back muscles during frequent use of the gear lever. This is especially true in cars with a manual gearbox. When traveling long distances and even in regular traffic jams, the hand becomes tense and tired, in some cases the muscles begin to cramp, which can lead to an accident.

Another nice feature is the ability to use the armrest as a place to store useful little things. A water bottle, wallet, car documents, sunglasses case and more can be placed inside and will always be at your fingertips (literally and figuratively). Expensive models often have armrests equipped with control buttons for some vehicle devices.
Review of existing models
The domestic market is filled with a wide variety of armrest models. At the same time, sellers offer a large number of inexpensive Chinese-made samples. As a rule, they are universal and of low quality. The appearance of parts made of cheap plastic cannot decorate the interior of the LADA Granta car. True, some car enthusiasts cover them with leather or cover them with carpet (non-woven material that is resistant to friction). They also paste it over the walls of the inner compartment of the armrest and then small things placed in the compartment do not jingle while the car is moving.
Summarize
A new armrest with your own hands will give your Lada Granta more comfort and design sophistication. Such a simple operation as manufacturing and installation can be done by most owners. If difficulties arise at a certain stage of installation, contact the service for advice, because their employees will not dare to refuse you.
As standard, the Lada Granta Liftback is not equipped with armrests. If necessary, the driver can install it himself, having previously purchased an armrest for the Grant Liftback in the store.
There are many modifications and configurations of armrests for the Lada Granta Liftback on sale. Let's look at the most popular ones.
DIY armrest
There is another option that will allow you to give the interior of the LADA Granta a unique individuality - make an armrest with your own hands.
To do this, having measured the dimensions of the space between the driver and front passenger seats, you need to:
- make a corresponding box from plywood and sheathe (cover) it with carpet (leather, leatherette, etc.);
- make metal fastening elements and a mechanism for tilting the box back;
- Using standard furniture hinges, close the box with a hinged lid. It must first be covered with foam rubber and covered with the same material as the box;
- Secure all metal parts to the box and install it between the chairs.

Recently, there has been an increase in the popularity of the Lada Granta among Russian buyers. The model is in demand due to its reliability, practicality and attractive appearance. The price will not upset the potential client either.
The Lada Granta has a very extensive range of positive aspects, but it is not without some drawbacks. Among them we can add that there is no armrest. The usual equipment will not please the owner with such an important element of comfort. However, you can install the armrest yourself. This will be discussed in this article.
Choosing a good armrest for Grant
You can purchase the element with different types of fasteners and covers. It is permissible to use products suitable for both Kalina and Granta. An excellent solution would be a universal model that can easily fit into any design.
You can buy a high-quality Grant armrest with a folding or retractable lid: the second type is more practical to use.
The main materials from which the add-ons are made are plastic and leatherette. But the leather armrest for the Lada Grant promises a longer service life.
The most expensive option will be a model made from a combination of wood, metal and leather. True, it looks rich and complements the interior design well.
The presence of several divided cells in the box will allow you to store much more small items, parts or keys. But a single space is suitable for transporting car documents, passports and other important small papers.
If necessary, the driver can easily remove them from the box. Such Granta armrests will be useful for employees of city delivery services or interregional transport: everything they need will always be at hand.
Making an armrest
If you have visited all the specialized retail outlets, looked at the websites of online stores, and your Lada Granta still does not have an armrest, because you don’t like anything, you can make the part yourself. With this approach, the interior of your car will acquire an individual “zest” and a touch of exclusivity, because such an element will only be in your car.
The first stage of making an armrest yourself is preparing a sketch. It is done on paper. This is a picture of what you want when the job is completed. In the drawing it is important to indicate the dimensions taken in advance. Now we need the material from which the armrest will be made. Usually it is made from plywood: the floor, walls and cover of the future part are cut out.
