Especially for your convenience, all technical characteristics of the Lada Granta are collected on one page. There are five different combinations of engines and gearboxes, which is why they are presented in this table. The Lada Granta was originally conceived as a replacement for the “Classic”, which is why engineers did not pursue the dynamism and elegance of the new product. On the contrary, Granta was created to be the most economical, versatile and convenient car at a very modest price.

Main characteristics of Grants
The new product has a length of 4260 mm, a width of 1700 mm and a height of 1500 mm, with a wheelbase of 2476 mm. The front track is slightly wider - 1430 mm, the rear - 1414 mm. Granta's curb weight is 1115 kg, total weight is 1560 kg.
The car is sure to appeal to practical people, because the luggage compartment volume is 520 liters, despite the fact that the car itself is quite compact. The fuel tank capacity is 50 liters, and the permissible weight of the towed trailer is 450 kg if the trailer is without brakes and 900 kg if it has brakes.
The Granta is equipped with the entire modern line of engines from AvtoVAZ. Power units ranging from 80 hp to 106 hp are available to buyers. The engine capacity in all cases is 1.6 liters.
Description
The Grant engine is a modernized version of the long-produced engines 21124 and 11183. It differs from its predecessors by the presence of a 39% lighter connecting rod and piston group developed by Federal Mogul.
For the VAZ-11186 engine it is manufactured directly at AvtoVAZ OJSC. As a result of the modernization, significantly:
- power increased;
- exhaust toxicity has decreased;
- fuel consumption has decreased.
The cylinder head has become much stronger, since during manufacturing it undergoes a special heat treatment cycle. In addition, it is further strengthened by metal gaskets.
Despite the fact that all the motors in the line are assembled according to an identical design, the 11186 engine has a number of design features. Among them are:
- Improved cooling system for the block and cylinder head. The piston group is covered with a cooling jacket along its entire height and is equipped with piston cooling nozzles, which prevents deformation of the cylinder block due to uneven heating.
- Using a new camshaft drive design equipped with an automatic tensioner.
- The original design of the crankshaft, equipped with special oil channels, which are closed with plugs. This required the use of high-strength cast iron for its manufacture.
A significant drawback of the grant engine is that if the timing belt breaks, the valves bend, which can lead to failure of the power unit as a whole (breakage of pistons and cylinders). In order to protect the engine, a highly reliable drive belt is installed at the manufacturing plant during assembly, which is manufactured by the American company Gates Rubbler Company. The service life of this belt is at least 200 thousand kilometers.
Interesting: As a result of modernizing the VAZ-11186 engine, it became possible to equip it with an electric throttle valve drive (E-gas). This allows you to increase its power to 90 hp. With.
Grant dynamics characteristics
The most powerful Grant accelerates to “hundreds” in 11 seconds, and its top speed is 177 km/h. There is also the Lada Granat Sport, which has better dynamic characteristics, but in this material we will compare only production cars that are assembled at AvtoVAZ.
In the combined driving cycle, LADA Granta consumes from 6.7 to 7.6 liters of 95 gasoline.
You can find out tire sizes, ground clearance and many other parameters in the summary table. Also here you can see all Granta photographs using a special gallery.
conclusions
Thus, we found out what kind of engines the Grants are equipped with, which are today the most affordable cars from the entire line of cars produced by the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. The difference (including price) between different trim levels is quite large, which causes significant dissatisfaction among car enthusiasts. However, despite this, Granta, including those with 8-stroke engines, is very actively sold in various regions of the country.

Dimensions Grants liftback
If we compare this car with the Lada Granta sedan, the wheelbase remains at the same level. As for the length of the car, it was slightly trimmed. Now it is 4,246 mm, which is 14 mm less than the sedan, and this with a width of 1.7 m and a height of 1.5 m. The ground clearance is 160 mm, which allows you to confidently overcome difficult sections of the road. If we take into account the curb weight, it will be approximately 1,160 kg, which is quite a lot in general.
The only negative quality of the liftback was the reduced trunk volume, which, compared to the previous model, decreased by almost 80 liters.
If the rear seat backs are folded down, the volume of space obtained will be approximately 760 liters, which will also allow transporting bulky cargo if necessary.
From this article you will learn the dimensions of the Lada body and its features. Our domestic designers have finally managed to carry out high-quality body engineering that meets international standards. Finally, the torsional rigidity (TR) of the bodies of Lada Largus, Kalina, etc. and other features, to the envy of previous VAZ models, have become much higher. This means that now domestic models can easily compete with foreign cars in terms of body endurance.
16 valve engine
Now let's talk about 16-valve engines for cars of the domestic manufacturer Lada Granta. These engines are already installed on luxury cars. The power of the power units has been increased, which has affected the reduction in fuel economy.
Some models are used on Lada Granta "Sport" class cars. They are distinguished by high-torque power and rapid development of speed from the start.

Technical specifications for Lada Granta
Let's look at the technical characteristics of the 16-valve engine model 21126. They are presented in the table.
| Parameter | Meaning |
| Type | Row |
| Cylinders | 4 |
| valves | 16 |
| Compression | 11 |
| Volume | 1.6 l |
| Cylinder diameter | 82 |
| Piston stroke | 75 |
| Power | 106 hp |
| Petrol | AI 95 |
| Weight | 115 kg |
| Life resource | 250 thousand km |
What distinguishes this engine from the previous two is the presence of DAT and DTV instead of DRMV. In this way, the manufacturer got rid of floating speed at idle speed of the engine. This improved the performance of the power unit from the Lada Grant. It’s true that these engines have become a little more expensive.
A broken timing belt still bends the valve. But this is the price to pay for making the engine lighter and increasing its power.
Now let's look at another engine that was installed on the “Lux” model from Lada Grant. Technical characteristics of this engine 21127.
| Parameter | Meaning |
| Type | L |
| Cylinders | 4 |
| Piston diameter and stroke | Same as previous ones |
| Compression | 11 |
| timing belt | DOHC |
| Torque | 148 Nm |
| Nutrition | Injection |
| Econorms | Euro 4 |
| Weight | 116 kg |
| Life resource | 250 thousand km |
There is another rare engine with 16 valves. It was installed only on “Sport” model cars. The modification of the power unit is designated VAZ 2126-77. It was an upgraded model 2126 engine.
The only difference from other engines was the increase in power after the tachometer crossed the three thousand rpm mark. And its power was 120 horses. Otherwise, it did not differ from the previous engines already described.
Engine design features
The sixteen-valve engine has a cast-iron cylinder block and an aluminum head. Another advantage of these engines was the ability to cover 100 meters in 11 seconds.
The maximum speed that the engine reached was considered to be 172 km/h. This is why car owners fell in love with these engines. Although there were some shortcomings. For example, bending of valves when a belt breaks. This was followed by a major overhaul or a complete change of the power unit.
These engines showed high power, which differed several times from that indicated in the data sheet. However, they often had problems that were also different from the passport problems.
For example, the car owner’s reluctance to take the engine for regular maintenance led to a decrease in the engine’s lifespan. The gasket and pistons on these engines burned out.
The water pump broke down with enviable frequency. Especially residents of the southern regions and those who like to kill cars in difficult operating conditions cannot boast of the absence of overheating.

Motor life
The service life of sixteen-valve engines exceeds three hundred thousand kilometers if treated with care. The engine life is not lower than the eight-valve one, but does not exceed it, as can be seen from the tables above.
Despite such high engine durability, it has disadvantages that do not suit many car owners. Let's look at these disadvantages.
8 valve engine
On the Lada Granta, the car owner will find engines with 8 valves and 16 valves. They differ from each other in technical characteristics and displacement. Car owners don't like early engines because they are noisy. Some engines with 16 valves often suffer from broken belts and bent valves, which negatively affects owner reviews. But in general, these engines are reliable and last up to 250 thousand kilometers without major repairs.
Let's see what engines were installed on the Lada Granta from 8 valves:
- VAZ 1183-50;
- VAZ 21116;
- VAZ 11183.
For your information! The latest engine of the VAZ 11183 is a primitive four-cylinder engine, which was inherited from its predecessors. The only advantage of the power unit was the reliable gas distribution system. When the belt broke, the valves did not bend.
Now let’s look at the technical characteristics of the first two engines, which represent improved versions of the primitive VAZ 11183 engine.
Engine Specifications
You will see the technical parameters of eight-valve engines in the table below.
| Characteristics 1183-50 | Meaning |
| Cylinders | 4 |
| Type | Row |
| Volume | 1.6 l |
| Valves | 8 |
| Compression | 10 |
| Power | 82 horses |
| Weight | 112 kg |
The fuel consumption of the Lada Granta engine in mixed mode is 7.4 liters. The engine torque is 132 Nm.
This is the simplest engine that is installed on Lada Granta cars: sedan or hatchback. The engine valves are not afraid of belt breakage. Unlike the primitive engine from which this power unit was created, the 1183-50 is distinguished by low-speed torque and environmental friendliness. The manufacturer assigns it the Euro 4 environmental class.
The negative aspects of the engine, according to reviews from car owners, include noise and constant adjustment of thermal valve clearances after a run of 15 thousand kilometers. If the thermostat breaks down, the engine stops heating to the required temperature.
Engine problems include burnt gaskets or valves. Because of this, the motor may operate unstably.

Despite some disadvantages, for those car owners who want to have a small and unpretentious engine, which also consumes little, this 1183-50 is an ideal solution for installation in a Lada Granta car.
Now let's look at the technical characteristics of another eight-valve engine.
| Value 11186 | Parameter |
| Type | Row |
| Cylinders | 4 |
| Volume in liters | 1,6 |
| Cylinder diameter | 82 mm |
| Piston stroke | 75,6 |
| valves | 8 |
| Torque | 143 |
| Power | 87 hp |
| Fuel supply | Injection method |
| Fuel used | Gasoline AI 95 |
This engine is an improved power unit of the VAZ 21114 model. Among the advantages, one can observe a decrease in engine noise and fuel savings.
The downside is that the pistons are lighter. Because of this, there is no room for recesses in such pistons. Therefore, when the belt breaks, the valves bend.
Device
Both engines have a cast iron cylinder block. The BC head is made of aluminum alloy. What sets them apart from other engines is their unreliable electronics, which can freeze on a frosty day or rainy weather in the summer. And the use of low-quality fuel will certainly lead to burnout of the valves.
The engine design itself looks quite reliable. Eight-valve power units last a long time with annual maintenance and prevent belt breakage.
Engine life
Lada Granta engines run up to 250 thousand kilometers without major repairs. Engine maintenance consists of replacing filter elements every 15 thousand kilometers. The air filter can be changed after 27 thousand km.
Filling and updating of lubricant is done after a run of five or 10 thousand kilometers. Depends on the region where the machine is used. But the coolant can be replaced after 60 thousand kilometers.
Attention! It is not recommended to fill these engines with gasoline with an octane number of AI 92. Since the entire structure of the power unit is very sensitive to high-quality gasoline. This happens because the compression ratio is 10 units. This is the number at which gasoline with octane AI 92 begins to detonate. The latter action, if used continuously, will lead to the death of the motor.
