Chronology
Predecessor Lada Kalina

The Lada Granta (Russian: Ла́да Гра́нта) is a subcompact car developed by the Russian automaker AvtoVAZ in collaboration with Renault, based on the Lada Kalina platform. Mass sales started in Russia on 1 December 2011.[2][3]

Additional production at the Izhevsk plant began in September 2012, after the old VAZ-2107 was removed from production.[4] A 5-door hatchback variant, aimed at replacing the discontinued Lada Samara 2 series in the line-up, debuted in 2014.[5]

Overview

The Lada Granta is considered to be a step away from the classic A, B and C segment class cars and towards the needs of young Russians and small Russian families wanting supermini sedans designs which are somewhat more popular in Russia after 2010. Moreover, the Granta will likely compete with the foreign market in Russia since most European superminis exported there are hatchbacks, and thus smaller yet more expensive.[6] Considering its dimensions, the Lada Granta is classified as a C segment car.[7][need quotation to verify]

Safety

The Granta Lux earned three stars out of four and 10,5 points out of 16 in a crash test conducted in 2015. The HIC was 590 for the driver and 428 for the passenger, whereas the compression of the thoracic cavity was measured as 28 mm and 25 mm, respectively. The car was tested with two airbags and seat belt pretensioners.[8]

Trim levels

The car comes in three different trim levels: Standard, Norm and Lux. The Norm level includes power steering, front power windows, power door locks and trip computer, while Lux adds passenger airbag, side airbags, ABS, ESC, rear power windows, air conditioning, heated mirrors, heated front seats, and multimedia system with a 7-inch touchscreen display.

Marketing

The Lada Granta is marketed in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and within the European Union, it has been made available in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, France, Germany and Egypt.[9]

The Lada Granta WTCC has been competing in the World Touring Car Championship since the 2012 season. The main driver of the team is James Thompson,[10] while a second car was driven by Aleksey Dudukalo and Mikhail Kozlovskiy.[11] In the 2014 season, Robert Huff, the champion of the 2012 season, also joined the team in a third car.[12]

Recall

In May 2013, "AvtoVAZ" recalled about 30,000 of sold Lada Grantas and Kalinas because of problems detected in the braking system.[13]
