Trunk volume of Lada Kalina sedan in liters

The useful trunk volume of the Lada Kalina hatchback and Lada Kalina station wagon models was calculated and designed by the developers in accordance with the standards specific to this class. Let us remind you that the practical “Kalina” belongs to the so-called budget segment, and therefore the luggage compartment here should be as convenient as possible in terms of loading and quite spacious. These two factors are of paramount importance, because the model we are considering is used by a very large army of owners.

We will learn from our material how much this manufacturer’s doctrine is reflected in reality.

Possibility of modification of the cargo compartment

Luggage compartment of Kalina hatchback

The model under consideration, like the Lada Kalina sedan and hatchback, can easily be modified independently. The interior of the universal Lada can be transformed, thereby increasing the capacity of its trunk. The Lada Kalina station wagon, unlike the Lada Kalina hatchback, has a large cargo compartment of 355 liters. However, the trunk volume of the Lada Kalina sedan is even larger. The advantage of the trunk of the Lada Kalina station wagon is the ability to quickly fold the rear seats.

The Lada Kalina sedan entered development in 1993. Serial production of this model began in 2000. The dimensions of the car allow it to be used in both urban and rural conditions. The trunk volume of the sedan facilitates the transportation of various things. The length of the car does not exceed 4 m. The high rear, the possibility of increasing the volume of the luggage compartment, and internal tuning are the main advantages of the model under consideration.

There are no significant differences between the Lada Kalina hatchback and sedan. The latest model has 4 doors and an increased body length. According to other criteria, the modifications are identical. The usable luggage compartment space can be increased to 545 liters by folding the rear seats.

What is the trunk volume of a Kalina station wagon and hatchback?

The Kalina station wagon has a trunk volume that, without a doubt, matches its status. What does it mean? And the fact that this car belongs to the category of so-called state employees, that is, is affordable at its cost to the majority of residents of our country. Taking this into account, manufacturers largely calculated the dimensions of the trunk of the Kalina station wagon. That is, taking into account the fact that a good half of our compatriots will drive this car.

This, in turn, means that the dimensions of the luggage compartment must be quite impressive. Now we will find out if this is really so.

Comparison of trunks of different car models

If we consider a new generation car, then the Lada Kalina hatchback is characterized by a small trunk volume. The VAZ station wagon is considered a more spacious car. The trunk of the 1st model has a volume of 240 liters. This parameter is calculated to the installation location of the shelf. If necessary, this element can be dismantled with your own hands. If you fold down the rear seats in the Lada Kalina hatchback, the trunk volume reaches 550 liters. For Granta, this parameter is 520 hp.

The trunk of the new Lada Kalina station wagon is considered more spacious. Its volume is 335 liters. The trunk of the 2nd generation Kalina is larger than that of the 1st modification VAZ. With the seats folded down, it holds about 670 liters of various cargo.

Kalina station wagon trunk

As for ground clearance, Kalina has more ground clearance than most foreign cars. If you rely on official data, then for the Lada Kalina hatchback with automatic transmission it is 145 mm, and with a manual system it is 165 mm. Foreign car manufacturers indicate ground clearance with a minimum load. AvtoVAZ provides information about the maximum loaded state of the Lada. If Kalina is empty, then the clearance will be 20 cm.

The situation is similar with station wagons. The vehicle's ground clearance when loaded is 145 mm. The actual data is even slightly higher than this figure. You can change the ground clearance on any Lada if you install wheels of a certain size. AvtoVAZ allows the installation of 14 and 15 inch wheels on Kalina.

If we compare the dimensions of Kalina hatchback, station wagon and sedan, the length of the 1st model is 3893 mm, the 2nd - 4048 mm, the 3rd - 4040 mm. The distance between the front and rear base is 2476 mm. All 3 models are identical in width - 1700 mm. The height of the hatchback is 1500 mm, the Lada Kalina station wagon model is a few cm higher. This is due to the presence of roof rails, which are equipped with all modifications of the new Kalina.

Technical characteristics of Kalina station wagon

The Lada Kalina station wagon fully lives up to its name. Many Russians have already been able to see the versatility of this iron horse. By the way, it is already clear that this car is mainly purchased by people who prefer active recreation. Thanks to its functional features, this five-door car is an ideal option for country trips.

Russian developers knew that their product would have to overcome domestic roads! That is why they endowed the Lada Kalina with high cross-country ability and maneuverability, which allows it to easily overcome both city highways and dirt roads.

In addition, the VAZ 1117 Kalina station wagon has a refined and at the same time democratic design of the body and interior, which makes it an ideal option for a family car. Travel comfort is ensured for every family member, thanks to the wide adjustment of the front seats, which allows you to free up space for luggage.

In addition, the new Lada Kalina station wagon is equipped with a climate control system, effective ABS and many other innovations that were previously rare in the automotive market.

In its technical characteristics, the Lada Kalina station wagon is not inferior to the sedan. The machine is equipped with a four-cylinder engine with a distributed electronic fuel injection system. Classic convenience is provided by a five-speed manual transmission.

In general, the fact that Ladas are becoming more and more common on the roads speaks for itself. After all, the Lada Kalina station wagon went on sale three years ago. Consumers throughout Russia were able to see the advantages of this car. In addition, the Kalina station wagon, thanks to its design solution, has acquired presentability and visual appeal.

A new product from AvtoVAZ has appeared on the roads of Russia, and we have become aware of the technical characteristics of the 2013 LADA Kalina 2. It is worth noting that this is actually the same car, which received a new gearbox and updated design.

If you study the data presented in the table in detail, it will become clear that the station wagon is no different from the hatchback in terms of dynamics and equipment. The only difference between the Lada Kalina 2 station wagon and the technical characteristics is that the body is slightly longer.

Otherwise, the technical characteristics of the new Lada Kalina 2nd generation differ only in trim levels. In the luxury version, the buyer receives a 16-valve engine, which is 12 hp more powerful than the 8-valve engine, which has a positive effect on the overall dynamics of the car. However, we should not forget that the luxury version can be equipped with an automatic transmission, which slightly worsens the dynamic characteristics of the new Kalina.

Fuel consumption, judging by official data from AvtoVAZ, is less for a 16-valve power unit compared to an analogue with 8 valves. An automatic transmission competes with a manual transmission only in the extra-urban cycle; in all other cases it consumes more fuel.

A station wagon is on average 25-30 kilograms heavier than a hatchback, but at the same time, it is the station wagon that has the best dynamic performance, although only slightly. Also among the main advantages of the station wagon, it is worth noting the trunk volume of 360 liters, while the hatchback has only 261 liters.

You can find out all the technical characteristics of Kalina 2 from the table below. It is worth noting that these are not the final technical specifications for the Lada Kalina 2, as they may still change, but you will probably learn about this on our website or forum.

* — Specifications are official, but they may be slightly changed. In the meantime, on our website you can see high-quality photos of Kalina 2, which we collected from a variety of sources, and also made ourselves.

For 350,000 I would take the Kalina-2 hatchback

I own this car. Overall satisfied. I took it for 340 standard. A little expensive, of course, for the complete set, nothing to worry about. They lie about gas consumption, I have less, for fuel... well, what the hell is 95, with a compression ratio of 10 units. Damn jokers. It should be 92 according to her passport.

Lada Kalina has long pleased car enthusiasts with its cars. Today she presents her station wagon in a new light.

In general, all Kalina car owners admit that this model turned out to be very successful. On the one hand, it has a fairly spacious interior and an overall pleasant design, with a claim to some respectability. On the other hand, the car is still more than compact and easily fits even in a full parking lot.

In this material we will tell you exactly what dimensions the Lada Kalina has in the station wagon modification.

Car: Lada Kalina. Asks: Smirnov Viktor. The essence of the question: What are the dimensions of the Lada Kalina station wagon?

For greater clarity, we suggest you familiarize yourself with the dimensions of the Lada Kalina station wagon by comparing 2 tables.

Lada Kalina station wagon, first generation “Standard” equipment

Body dimensions of the Lada Kalina station wagon of the second generation

The Lada Kalina hatchback is noticeably smaller in size than its counterparts - the sedan and station wagon. But this is not a minus of this car, but even a plus. After all, people who buy a viburnum in a hatchback body have nothing to carry in the trunk, so they simply don’t need it. The reduced length of the car makes it easy to park in tight yards.

But people buy viburnum hatchbacks mainly for their “pretty eyes.” The hatchback looks more stylish and sporty. The teardrop tail lights give the car an attractive appearance. As noted, the main buyers of the Kalina hatchback car are young people under the age of 30.

The Lada Kalina model, now popular among practical youth, has a whole range of modifications in its arsenal. In this regard, let us denote the presence of versions:

• sedan;
• hatchback;
• a station wagon that has a promising design called Cross.

classifies Lada Kalina as a subcompact model. These cars performed excellently in urban conditions. For optimal operation, the range of external temperatures ranges from minus 40 to plus 45 degrees (Celsius). Also, to ensure that this vehicle exhibits its optimal characteristics, it must be used on paved roads.

Most Lada Kalinas are equipped with 8-valve engines. There are also versions with engines whose heads are equipped with 16-valve designs. Such motors are marked as “11194” and “11184”. Both versions of the power unit are located in the engine compartment according to a transverse arrangement. The power plants are equipped with modern distributed fuel injection systems.

The exhaust manifolds of these models have exhaust gas catalysts, which is done for the sake of the environment.

1. Sedan.
2. Station wagon.
3. Hatchback.
4. Sport.
5. Cross.

Volume

In terms of the size of the luggage compartment, the station wagon is located in the middle between the hatchback and the sedan.
In liters, its volume is exactly 355. This is quite good for such a compact car as Kalina. Let us remind you that if necessary, it can be more than doubled.

The linear dimensions are as follows (in millimeters):

• width between wheel arches – 934;

length from the trunk door to the rear seats – 806;

• height from floor to lid – 520;
• width behind the wheel arches - 1341;
• length from the first row of seats (with the rear seats folded) to the door – 1439.

In reality, we should not forget that the height to the roof of the car is 980 millimeters, which means that the total volume will exceed one and a half cubic meters. That is, if necessary, it will not be difficult to transport a refrigerator, for example.

However, if the volume of the luggage compartment is a decisive factor when choosing, you should still prefer a sedan - this is the largest car according to the specified criterion, currently produced by VAZ.

Possible problem

Buying an inexpensive car always involves certain risks.
And such a purchase often requires the owner to modify some details. No, of course, you won’t need to redo anything if you buy a car like Kalina. But there is a certain snag. Some owners of the Lada Kalina hatchback sometimes have difficulties with the trunk lock. Repairing or replacing this component is a simple process and not that expensive. But a minus still remains a minus. And we could not ignore this important point.

Comparison of models

Perhaps the only thing that has undergone any changes is the body itself. Its rear end is something between a sedan and a station wagon. That is, the Lada Kalina hatchback does not have a separate luggage compartment, and at the same time, its dimensions are more smooth.

Let us remind you that the hatchback has a luggage volume of a modest 240 liters. This figure was determined by the manufacturer taking into account the space up to the rear parcel shelf. When the need arises to increase the volume, the designated shelf can be dismantled with your own hands. This helps when transporting large luggage.

There is a category of owners who, due to their occupation, need to transport larger items. Here we recommend taking a closer look at the station wagon, because in terms of free space in the trunk, this body modification holds sole leadership. Its 670 liters of volume will be quite enough to satisfy the needs of even the most picky owners.

If the future owner of Kalina prefers a hatchback, then it makes sense to consider in more detail the capabilities of its trunk, and how much it will lose to a station wagon, what dimensions and dimensions of the trunk it has. We arm ourselves with a tape measure and begin to measure the sizes of openings, lengths and heights that interest us.

1. The height of the compartment reaches 82 cm (to the ceiling), and to the shelf level - 49.2 cm.
2. The depth of the trunk with the rear row folded is 131.9 cm, and the distance from the same starting point of the compartment to the front panel is characterized by 220 cm. With the row not folded, the depth is 64.4 cm.
3. We denote the width inside the compartment by two parameters: between the wheel arches - 947 cm and between the rear wings (in front of the arches) - 127.7 cm.
4. Having succumbed to simple calculations, we determine that the maximum possible volume of space has reached approximately 1 m³, which in terms of liters is 1000 units. The manufacturer notes this value at 550 liters, but it can be loaded to the ceiling.

Lada Kalina trunk dimensions, ground clearance or clearance of Lada Kalina

The trunk of the new generation Lada Kalina will not please you with its large volume. However, this applies to a hatchback; if you want a large luggage space, then buy a Kalina station wagon. This car is much more spacious.

The trunk of the Lada Kalina hatchback has a volume of only 240 liters; it should be taken into account that this volume is calculated up to the shelf. But our resourceful car enthusiasts sometimes simply remove it and load it right up to the ceiling. With the rear seats folded down, the trunk of the Lada Kalina hatchback is already 550 liters. For comparison, the Granta's trunk has a volume of 520 liters.

The trunk of the Lada Kalina station wagon is much more spacious and has a volume of 355 liters, although some sources claim that the volume is at least 361 liters. It should be taken into account that this is only up to the shelf, but you can load it up to the ceiling, the body design allows it. In any case, the luggage compartment volume of the second generation Kalina station wagon has increased when compared with the same indicator of the previous generation Lada Kalina station wagon. With the seats folded down, the volume increases to 670 liters . In the photo just above you can see exactly how the rear seats fold down on the Lada Kalina 2 station wagon.

Ground clearance of the Lada Kalina is a separate and very interesting topic. It is visually clear that the ground clearance of the Lada Kalina is greater than that of most foreign cars. However, according to official data, the ground clearance of the Kalina hatchback with automatic transmission is 145 mm, and with a manual transmission it is 165 mm. But if manufacturers of foreign cars indicate the ground clearance of their cars with a minimum load, then AvtoVAZ indicates the ground clearance in the maximum loaded state of the car. That is, if the Lada Kalina is empty, without passengers and cargo, then its clearance will be about 20 centimeters! You can take a ruler and see for yourself.

As for the Lada Kalina station wagon, the situation is the same. When loaded, the car has a real ground clearance of 145 mm , but in fact, when there is only a driver and a passenger in the cabin, the ground clearance is much higher. Do not forget that if you install tires and wheels of a certain size, then the ground clearance changes. Officially, the manufacturer allows the installation of wheels of both 14 and 15 inches on Kalina.

The dimensions of the Lada Kalina station wagon and hatchback are different. So the length of the Kalina hatchback is 3,893 mm, and that of the station wagon is 4,084 mm. The wheelbase, the distance between the rear and front axles is the same, 2,476 mm. That is, the cars are identical in size inside the cabin. The width of the cars is 1,700 mm. The height of the Kalina hatchback is 1,500 mm; the station wagon has a few millimeters more due to roof rails, which are now installed on all modifications without exception as standard equipment.

Rails and their functions

Rails are special slats located on the roof of the car. Their functions include giving the Lada an aesthetic and sporty appearance. If necessary, lighting equipment is mounted on the roof rails. Such modernization allows you to move comfortably in a vehicle at night. From a constructive point of view, the part is represented by the following elements:

The diameter of the main pipe ranges from 25-51 mm. It can have different lengths. Rails are made of chromed metal or steel. With the help of slats, the luggage compartment will open faster. To install them yourself, you will need to make a hole in the roof of the car. To connect the slats, threads or rivets are used.

First, the roof of a Lada Kalina station wagon or any other modification is cleaned of dust, grease and dirt. Then the front fairing of the unit is mounted. Installation of the railing ensures its reliable fixation. The rear fairing is mounted in the same way. Sealant is applied to the elements. It will protect the arch supports from moisture and debris. Before tuning, you will need to study the relevant instructions. If you have questions, it is recommended to seek help from specialists.

Using this technique, you can install roof rails on Kalina of any modification. This will not take too much time.

Features of luggage racks

Cargo compartments for Lada Kalina vehicles have some special features. They must be taken into account by motorists who choose equipment for specific transportation conditions:

1. Increasing cargo capacity due to the folded rear passenger seats of the Lada is much easier and faster than similar cars in this class.
2. The luggage compartment lid rises 60 cm higher than on models in similar classes. This is quite convenient for frequent loading and unloading of Kalina.
3. It is possible to install an additional non-standard roof box for transporting things. Kalina's load capacity increases by 40% if you use lightweight roof racks consisting only of crossbars and the main unit.

In addition to the advantages that the equipment has, there are also problems that are noted by owners of two- to three-year-old cars:

1. At temperatures below 15 °C, frequent breakdowns of the shock absorber of the cargo compartment door are observed.
2. Car enthusiasts note problems with the lock in the hatchback configuration in the second year of operation. The lock breaks, the cylinder falls out or the spring stretches, and in some cases the locking ring gets jammed. The lock has to be changed.

Initially, this AvtoVAZ line was planned as small family cars not intended for transporting goods. Hatchbacks have the smallest trunk; when transporting even small loads, you have to wisely use every centimeter of it, saving space. If you need a car specifically as a cargo carrier, we recommend choosing the station wagon option. Its cargo space is enough for family trips to the country, picnics and wholesale stores.

Lada Kalina I generation

The trunk volume on the Lada Kalina hatchback, according to the manufacturer’s manual, has a volume of 240 liters (up to the shelf), and with the rear seats folded down it is 550 liters.

Kalina in a sedan body has almost the same performance, but in this case the owner is limited in volume due to the rear window and shelf.

Station wagon body (the question is about it)

And by far the most spacious trunk in the Lada Kalina family is the station wagon. Even when not unfolded, its volume is about 355 liters, while with the seats folded down you can achieve a figure of 670 liters.

The dimensions of the station wagon body are amazing. So, thanks to the folded seats, an object with a length of almost 1.5 meters and a maximum width of 1.3 - 0.9 meters can easily fit inside the body.

Price bonus from the manufacturer

Many car owners (fans of AvtoVAZ “brainchildren”) rightfully believe that the Lada Kalina station wagon version is practically the best budget car in its sector. And not only thanks to the spacious trunk. This version also boasts a good appearance, that is, the design solutions applied.

And also - an affordable price tag. Indeed, AvtoVAZ offered decent prices for this model. So today it is one of the most “popular” versions of cars.

This detail is also important. The trunk volume of the Lada Kalina 2 in the station wagon body is already 361 liters, and with the rear seats folded down - all 670 liters, which is not bad at all.

Volume and features of the trunk of Lada Kalina: station wagon, sedan and hatchback

Lada Kalina is a budget B-class car developed by AvtoVAZ in 1993.
The car received its name, which became a recognizable trademark, in 1998. During the period from 1999 to 2001, modifications were developed in hatchback, sedan and station wagon bodies. All body and power unit configurations were built using innovative computer technologies and were put into mass production in 2004. On the Internet you can find both positive and negative reviews about the Kalina 1 model; there are also controversial opinions about the carrying capacity parameters and trunk volume of the Lada Kalina station wagon, hatchback and sedan.

Hello, please tell me what is the trunk volume on the Lada Kalina in all bodies? I want to buy this car for myself, but I don’t know how to decide, because the trunk volume is a very important indicator for me.

Comparison of trunks of different car models

If we consider a new generation car, then the Lada Kalina hatchback is characterized by a small trunk volume. The VAZ station wagon is considered a more spacious car. The trunk of the 1st model has a volume of 240 liters. This parameter is calculated to the installation location of the shelf. If necessary, this element can be dismantled with your own hands.

The distance between the front and rear base is 2476 mm. All 3 models are identical in width - 1700 mm. The height of the hatchback is 1500 mm, the Lada Kalina station wagon model is a few cm higher. This is due to the presence of roof rails, which are equipped with all modifications of the new Kalina.

Lada Kalina hatchback

The body version of the Lada Kalina hatchback was launched into production in 2006 and was produced without modernizing the power unit or changing the interior for 7 years. In 2013, production of the second generation hatchback was launched. Speaking about capacity and total carrying capacity, let's consider the dimensions:

• length 3850 mm;
• width 1700 mm;
• height 1500 mm;
• ground clearance 160 mm.

With such dimensions, the hatchback has a relatively good trunk - its volume in liters is 240. If you fold the rear seats, the capacity can be increased to 550 liters.

Main dimensions: 94.7x64.4x49.2 cm.

With such modest dimensions, Kalina has a fairly impressive carrying capacity of approximately 500 kg (this takes into account the presence of 4 adult passengers in the car). The car meets the requirements for family cars: cross-country ability, safety, passenger comfort, acceleration dynamics, etc.

In addition to the classic hatchback VAZ-1119 Kalina, an off-road, sports version of the Lada Kalina Cross was also produced, as well as 2nd generation hatchbacks (VAZ-2192). Let's take a look at their cargo compartments:

1. The trunk volume of Kalina Cross is 355 liters.
2. Trunk Kalina 2 - 240 l.
