Who and when invented the first television in the world? A difficult path from mechanical retro models to progressive LCD panels


Last year of production of VAZ 2114

The answer to the question of what year they stopped producing the VAZ 2114 will be 2013 . In December, the last “fourteenth” rolled off the assembly line. The popular hatchback was discontinued to make way for the more modern Lada Granta and Lada Priora.

By the time production ended, the car was a budget, inexpensive model. Its cost was about 300,000 rubles. For this money, the car was equipped with the most minimal set of options. It practically did not have even the most basic safety and comfort features.

Differences between the 2013 and 2012 models

Those who remember the year the VAZ 2114 was produced will be interested to know how the 2013 car differed from the 2012 car. There were no significant differences between the latest cars. There was no restyling in 2013, only the last fourteen cars stopped installing spoilers. But towards the end of production, cars in luxury configurations and modernized “four” “Super Auto” models were more often rolled off the assembly line. They had the following differences from the standard version:

There were also some other minor features. But at the same time, the production of older modifications of the VAZ 2114 was not formally stopped. It is believed that they were all discontinued on the same day.

Behind the wheel: Lada and paddling pools

French L`Argus: Lada 110 i: what do people need?
As you know, there are foreigners who buy our sick “ten” in their homeland. There are some among them who even ride it later. What do they think, what do they experience? And she, our beauty, how is she there, over the hill? Testers from the French magazine L`Argus conducted a test drive of this beloved, “best-selling” car in our country. The material is entitled: “Lada 110 i: what do the people need?” Intriguing? Read.

“However, how snobbish people are! Tell everyone that you want to buy a Lada: according to the level of their political consciousness, many will ask if it is nostalgia for past times, while others will think that your business is going badly. In general, everyone will decide that there is something wrong with you. But no one will think that we are talking about a reasonable and fully conscious choice. So, we strive to prove once and for all that the Lada 110 has the right to life and that all rumors about it are nothing more than someone’s inventions. It's easy to laugh...

What other car will offer you 4 doors, 5 seats, a spacious trunk and a good 70-horsepower engine for less than 8,000 euros? You can feverishly leaf through the catalogs, but to no avail. Only Lada combines the price of a minicar, such as the Daewoo Matiz, with the advantages of a family sedan.

But we must understand that miracles do not happen. There are, however, some highlights. For example, the exterior. It seems to be out of time and fashion, since it has long been outdated. But at the same time, this car maintains anonymity - enough to drive through and be unnoticed. Of course, it’s hardly possible to marvel at the elegance of the Lada, but at least boys don’t throw stones at it and dogs don’t bark at it...

The massive rear and small rear (very practical) pieces of glass clearly tell me that I have my own specific style, pardon the word, bourgeois. The spartan interior design is slightly diluted by the ridiculous upholstery with pretensions to modernity. But the sun visors are a real kitsch. Of course, the build quality leaves much to be desired - take the same gaps of body elements and glass seals. But the car is painted well.

This is how cars were equipped probably 20 years ago. There is no talk of power steering, power windows, ABS or airbags at all. But the steering wheel is height-adjustable, there is a tachometer, a sunroof, a ventilation system (unfortunately more noisy than effective), remote trunk opening, and headrests front and rear. And, which is very nice, an immobilizer.

On the road, the engine exhibits fairly smooth performance. The car accelerates well, and the cruising speed far exceeds the permissible limits. True, vibrations, loud noise and the gluttony of the engine are annoying. During testing, the average fuel consumption was 8.3 liters. The 5-speed gearbox is also good. But the continuously vibrating and twitching lever lets me down. It appears to be connected directly to the crankshaft...

This car clearly lacks chassis rigidity and suspension selectivity. On rough roads the car exhibits an excessively bouncy character. True, in this way we fall within the framework of a regular test designed for machines for the whole world. But the Lada 110 has no claims - neither sporting, nor aesthetic, nor social. An outdated, but still rational machine in its own way. For its price, it has a place in the market.”

Funny, right? And here are some reviews from the owners:

Adriano: “Actually, I’m a lover of cars from Eastern Europe, that’s why I decided to buy a new Lada 110 with a 1.5 engine, which looks like a Seat Toledo. But I quickly regretted my purchase. A bunch of problems immediately appeared: the speedometer broke, the radiator was constantly leaking, the Russian tires installed on the car from birth clearly had problems with roundness, but even after replacing them, the car still constantly pulled to the right.”

Charles.ducros: “I had the opportunity to evaluate the Lada for the first time on the streets of Paris. As I drove through the streets, everyone looked at me. The car was no longer new, but in excellent condition. Once I got behind the wheel, I immediately felt at ease, right at home. In general, I have become a big fan of the Lada, and if anyone sells it, I will buy it immediately.”

Tenth family

This car is 650 mm longer than the serial “ten”, and 200 of them are given to the rear doors, and the rest went to the inter-door “insert”. The VAZ 2112 engine, fourteen-inch wheels and power steering are standard equipment. The salon is divided by a partition with a roll-down window, the rear seat is equipped with servo drives that separately regulate the tilt of the backrests and the position of the pillows, an additional heater and air conditioning. As additional equipment, a hatch in the rear of the cabin, a TV, a VCR, a bar, and the like can be installed. The VAZ-21109 is produced only for individual orders. Today, these machines are manufactured to order.

The sedan-type body has both the most powerful and fastest in the “tenth” VAZ-21106 family. With the same dimensions, its wheelbase has been increased by 48 mm, the front and rear fenders and bumpers have been significantly modified to accommodate 15” wheels. The VAZ-21106 is equipped with a two-liter Opel C20XE engine with a power of 150 hp. The increase in power required changing the stiffness of the suspension and the characteristics of the shock absorbers. The car is equipped with power steering. Due to the increase in its own weight, the vehicle's carrying capacity has decreased slightly: it can only accommodate four people. Taking into account the latest technical requirements of the International Motor Sports Federation, a “rally” version (21107) has been developed on the basis of the VAZ-21106, in which AVTOVAZ athletes have been successfully performing for several years. This car and the Lada-Tul are assembled and sold.

In May 1998, the VAZ-2110 “RPD-Sport” car was officially registered as a sports model, which in its speed and dynamic qualities is at the level of the world's best cars of the “Supertourism” class. One of the current trends in the development of automobile markets is the emergence and development of new segments, in particular, the segment of all-wheel drive station wagons.

In the near future, the VAZ-2110 family should be replenished with the all-wheel drive VAZ-21113-03, but for now only prototypes have been manufactured. Of course, an all-wheel drive station wagon will not replace the Niva, since it does not have increased ground clearance and does not have a reduction gear. The all-wheel drive has a 1.6 liter engine. the highest torque (138 Nm), the chassis and suspension are like those of the VAZ-21113, and the brakes are more powerful. Unlike other members of the VAZ-2110 family, this car now has disc brakes on the rear wheels.

Among the all-wheel drive VAZs there is also a modification “Tarzan-2” manufactured by . Components and assemblies from the Niva are mounted on a specially made frame, and the body of the Eleventh is installed on the resulting chassis. There is also a third version of the all-wheel drive station wagon VAZ-21116-04 - based on components and assemblies of the VW Golf. We will write about it separately.

Top 10 interesting facts about VAZ 2114

The Fourteenth became a landmark model for AvtoVAZ. Despite the obviously outdated design, the car had many positive aspects. It still attracts the attention of domestic motorists today. Therefore, it’s a good idea to remember not only in what year production of the VAZ 2114 ceased, but also what interesting features it had. Here are the top 10 facts about this car.

  1. This car is a restyled version of the VAZ 2109. During the transformation, it received a more modern design and some technical innovations. Also, over time, the car began to be equipped with relatively powerful engines. There were other improvements as well. But at the same time, the VAZ 2114 remained a modified Soviet “nine”.
  2. The “Four” was equipped with three types of engines of different power. The first engine had a volume of 1.5 liters and a power of only 77 horsepower. The second is 1.6 l and 82 hp. 16-valve 1.6-liter engines can produce 89 or 98 horsepower.
  3. Throughout its history, the car was equipped only with a manual transmission with five gears. It was never equipped with an automatic, robot or CVT, despite the fact that there were Kalinas with automatic transmission.
  4. The car did not have power steering in any modification. The Lada Kalina, which appeared in 2007, acquired this option. But the “fourteenth” never received it.
  5. The car has never been equipped with air conditioning. Despite the fact that for some time it was produced in parallel with Kalina, which had an air conditioning system, the VAZ2114 never acquired it.
  6. The car has a very weak body. The metal is thin, bends a lot and breaks in an accident, and is subject to active corrosion.
  7. Acceleration to 100 km/h averages 13 seconds, with some nuances depending on the configuration.
  8. The car was produced in three main versions: Standard, Lux and Super Auto.
  9. The VAZ 2114 was not equipped with airbags, ABS and other similar systems, unlike, for example, Lada Kalina or Priora.

“Fourteenth” is still a favorite car among many Russians. It is often bought on the secondary market by both young people and mature car enthusiasts. The machine is incredibly simple, cheap to maintain, unpretentious, fast, maneuverable and relatively reliable.

VAZ-2110 is a new generation front-wheel drive car with a sedan body produced by the Volzhsky Automobile Plant.

The founder of a new generation of front-wheel drive cars, the VAZ 2110 sedan has been in mass production since 1996. Unlike previous models, the VAZ-2110 car contains new original developments: the use of galvanized metal for body parts that are most susceptible to corrosion, fastening the hood on gas struts, an adjustable steering column, an on-board control system, an immobilizer, a gasoline vapor recovery system, ventilated brake discs and a number of other innovations. It is possible to install an air conditioner, which is standard equipment on some of the machines. According to their price characteristics, the cars belong to the upper segment of the price range of VAZ cars.

The “Ten” was initially equipped only with short-stroke carburetor 1.5-liter 69-horsepower VAZ-21083 engines, which, combined with a high degree of unification in a number of components and assemblies (unfortunately, not all) with already produced cars, made it somewhat easier for the owners of the first “ dozen” of their operation and maintenance. Although there were quite a few problems with “original” and therefore scarce spare parts (for example, an expansion tank, front struts, etc.). But the performance characteristics: maximum speed of 162 km/h and average fuel consumption of 7.5 l/100 km are significantly improved (by 12%) compared to model 21099, mainly due to a decrease in the aerodynamic drag coefficient. Currently, the carburetor engine has given way under the hood to a new generation of engines with distributed fuel injection and electronic control.

The model with an 8-valve, 79-horsepower, 1.5-liter engine with distributed fuel injection has the VAZ 21102 index. This engine provides sufficient power (56 kW) and torque (118 Nm), with moderate fuel consumption. The maximum speed of such a car reaches 170 km/h, and acceleration to “hundreds” takes 14 seconds. Cars with such an engine, due to its high elasticity and torque, are especially good when traveling in heavy city traffic.
