Lada x Ray jested when riding the robot. Lada Xray with a manual box. On a bad road

It is clear that any new car to market starts from time to time to "delight" all sorts of surprises. No wonder the "raw" machines producers are modified directly in the midst of sales. But with the situation, the Togliatti AutoGinger has never been distinguished by a high-quality assembly and a long resource of its products, so it makes sense to find fault in them, in general, and no. If it were not for a loud novelty, but what's not ababa, but the first in the history of the domestic brand "Crossover" (read - Hatchback), which Volzhani was presented so pathetic and beautifully, that it was swore to look at foreign cars. But did it reach their level?

Cormulates a little girl

In order to understand what it is worth to prepare, purchasing Xray, we talked with the owners of these cars at the Xrayclub Profile forum. What is characteristic of "lands" in most of them, although some operating moments are dissatisfied yet cause. For example, "crickets" and extraneous sounds in the cabin: most often worried about the creaking in the glove compartment, in the left side of the torpedo and in the area of \u200b\u200bthe driver's door. Causes are lurking in poorly fixed plastic panels. After their strengthening, everything falls into its place, and the sounds disappear.

Swing on the waves

A lot of complaints from the drivers "Ixreyev" occurs to the rear racks. On the irregularities of the roadbed, the car rides like a frog - especially strong discomfort feel the passengers of the second row, which risk the lacquer to get rid of recently eaten foods and leave dents in the ceiling. In addition, on the transverse waves of asphalt, the car has to be constantly catching up. The way out of the situation is found by replacing standard gas racks on oil.

We demand topping

No less critical in some cases is the need to attach oil into the engine. In some 1000 km, the run eats almost all lubricant, others are tested after each thousand from 400 to 600 grams of fluid. And regardless of the engine installed on the car. However, there are those who are not faced with a similar problem at all. Dealers are on the fact of the appeal are separated by standard phrases: they say, it should also be "MACHINE" - this is just a consequence of the engine running.

Warm wolf

If you are considering the purchase of "Ixrey" with a manual box, then get ready for the fact that it will be easily reminded of yourself. This happens when starting from the place and at the time of switching from the first transmission to the second, while the engine turnover does not reach the two thousandth mark. Apparently, this sore will remain for the vazovtsev inexperienced. And the owners scold twitching the KP when driving with an immentable motor. True, the owners of machines with mileage of more than 15,000 km assure that jerks and upwards will disappear over time.

Do not smallest

Among other features of the car it is worth highlighting a squeak in the steering rake when entering the turn, glare from the front panel on the windshield and are too small mudguards that perform no more than a decorative function. In addition, the floor is covered with a non-coated carpet: the rain-snow-dirt - and

Tell me, please, and in your Ixrea also accumulates water in the doors after the rain or washing? In my car with this trouble.

AR: No, this was not observed. There are only comments to the door sealing: thresholds in crude weather are wet and dirty, and in dry - dusty.

Gennady

I would like to learn about the air conditioner at Vesta: how does it behave, whether it cools in the heat +30 degrees, whether the engine "plant" is in urban environments and on the track.

AR: Cool enough. For example, in the heat of more than +30 degrees, the car stood more than half an hour on the sun (the intake temperature sensor was shown +51 degrees!), And the air conditioning system coped perfectly.

Breuryv Oleg Sergeevich

I am the owner of the car Lada Vesta. When in the morning you have a car and start moving at low speed, a distinct crack is heard for about two seconds. I tried to find a source for a long time and found out that this sound makes up the ABS system (when the fuse pulled out and began to move without it, there was no noise, as soon as I inserted and drove it - it appeared). Tell me, is there such a sound on "resource" cars?

AR: None of our "resource" booms is not observed.

Akutin N.A.

Is there an Xraya detonation of the engine when switching gear? How does air conditioner work on small revolutions (in traffic jams)? Is there a periodically moving machine when starting from the place?

AR: There are no questions to the efficiency of the air conditioning system at low engine speeds. Periodic koltnya "Robot" is yes, such sinning for AMT is found. The car is unevenly rushes, which is similar to the gross pedal of clutch, - but it only concerns a smooth start, with such a dynamic. No detonation when changing gears.

Ateference Viktor Anatolyevich

I would like to know: 11300 rubles - is it one exhaust system pipe or with a neutralizer?

AR: In such a sum, we cost the middle part of the graduation path (the resonator with the bellows coupling). The neutralizer at Vesta is combined with a graduate collector.

Knotov A.V.

Thanks for comprehensive car reports! I would like to know how many thousand kilometers do you need to change the timing belt on the Motor Vesta? There is an opinion that at the priori 126th engine, if not replaced after 45 thousand kilometers, is to trouble. And on new (after 2013) cars of the VAZ family with 16-valve engines need such a replacement in principle?

AR: Vesti engine with index 21129 is the further modernization of the priori engine. The frequency of replacing the renewed drive belt of the timing belt is (according to the factory instruction) every 180 thousand kilometers.

Beckleshov Alexey Borisovich

How well do the rear passenger air ducts work efficiently? Does the legs of sitting in the rear seats in the cold season? The problem is relevant, since, for example, in a grant, passengers are frozen behind.

AR:Vesti really provides for the rear passenger ducts, derived from the front armchairs. By blowing there, and while it is enough. But whether it is enough in a strong frost - it is still difficult to say, winter will show.

Sviridov Konstantin Vladimirovich

Like Andrei Nevelov, I do not like the lack of illumination in the mode of inclusive daytime running lights. Are there any ways to activate the backlight and does AvtoVAZ plan to solve this problem?

AR: The backlight mode of the instrument panel is quite recently appeared. We changed the firmware of the ECU, and now the instrument shield is glowing constantly, changing only the brightness in the day-night modes.

Lyapunov Evgeny Andreevich

Interested in noise insulation in the arches of West wheels. As many people write in the reviews, if the rain passed - then you will have water there (the foam rubbed everything is absorbed). So I wonder if it will rot this matter there?

AR: "Felt" sneakers today are applied on many foreign cars. They protect the wheel arches from noise and from "sandblasting". Water in such feels penetrates, but quite quickly flows and dries. And thanks to the fact that the sneakers themselves breathe well, the arches are better to be better and less rot.

In our case, under them there is no hint of corrosion.

Matveev Anton Vladimirovich

On the forums, the owners of West often complain about the script of the stabilizer bushings and the stabilizer struts, knock in the rear racks. How are things on the test machines? I would also like to learn about the glasses - whether they scratch quickly.

AR: West suspension from the very beginning differed in his noisy character. But we did not fix the back of the rear racks, nor the screenshot of the stabilizer bushings.

Turkish glasses are really soft: the door windows scratch from constant lowering, and the windshield has traces of abrasive wear, although in the stream of Vesta did not go at all.

Lada X Rei Mechanics - You can call one of the versions of the updated Lada Xray crossover. The fact is that an updated car from now on can boast a new one for it by a combination of a 1.8 liter motor, with a capacity of 122 hp and manual gearbox. In addition, now on Lada Xray, you can disable the ESP system. All this we tried on a test drive.

Nothing to get acquainted with the Lada Xray crossover no sense. In one year, he scattered around the country with more than 20,000 pieces. Without waiting for restyling, Vazovs began to improve the car. All cars replaced fibergifer nozzles, the former could leak. Replaced the expansion tanks of the coolant. Motor firmware 1.8 liters, added new coloring and interior coloring options. But the most significant thing: a new version appeared, just on it we were tested.

Engine and transmission

Motor 1.8 liters in itself is not new. This unit is already put on Lada Xray, it's true exclusively with the AMT box. And now there is a rather sought-after version: mechanics, an honest five-speed gearbox. In combination with this engine, you can develop the maximum torque.

Video Lada x Rei 1.8 with mechanics

During the test drive, we went to Lada X Rey with "Mechanics" on serpentine and, of course, a moment and pickup was needed to take another lifting. The feeling of such, as if not some 12 horses added here compared to the previous top-end version, but all 15. I really liked the elasticity of the motor.

Indeed, at some point on the rise you can get up on the third gear, reset, then add again and at the same time not to touch the box. This will also come in handy Lada X Rey Mechanics and in the city in a cork mode, where you move at an average speed of 20 to 60 km / h.

Unlike the version with the AMT robot, where the gear ratio of the main pair 3.9, in Lada x Ray mechanics it is 4.3. From here a confident thrust even with a good loading of the car. True, at high speeds somewhere after 100 km / h on the fifth transmission of the engine turnover above 3000 and fuel consumption.

We checked and improved noise insulation. The front arches of Lada x Rei Mechanics. We drove around icy, a rather broken road, and somewhere there were gravel and sand. To be honest, the crash of the pendant is slightly felt, where without it. The sound of the motor, too, but small stones that knock on the front arches, was not heard. Let me remind you that initially, when LADA Xray appears, only the rear arches were covered with noise insulation. But after numerous requests of buyers, Shumkov added and forth.

Driving instruments

There is one nuance. Now in Lada X Rei Mechanics can be officially delivered large 17-inch wheels. They have long asked the owners. So, so that the rubber does not cling to the front arches when turning plastic lockers, they are recommended to replace on soft, from a special nonwoven material. After such a replacement and it turned out a bonus in the form of improved noise insulation.

Well, also, on new wheels, the road clearance of Lada X Rey Mechanics grew by 4 mm and now it is 195 mm. At the same time, the crossover did not lose in controllability. Another plus patency: the ability to disable the ESP system. Here we will check it now. We managed to evaluate the new motor in combination with a renicted manual gearbox.

On a bad road

Among the tests conducted was the rise. It was used that in Lada x Ray mechanics his new option - disabling the ESP system. However, it turned out that in some cases it is not necessary to apply it. Ice slope for Lada x Rei Mechanics is not a problem even with ESP enabled.

Well, we try to complicate the task. Let's try to slow down on the rise and move again. We turn on the transmission and go. Not enough motor power, because he is strangled. I want to promote him, just a half thousand revolutions. For such situations, engineers came up with a magic button - disabling ESP.

Turn off and try again. Now there is a completely different sound. The car went-drove. Also on soft soils can use the cherished button. With her sand, dirt is not terrible. It is worth turning off the system of course stability and without an electronic collar can be operated by gas at its discretion. True, to a speed of 60 km / h, then the system will turn on automatically.

So it is not necessary to rebuild the car in the toothy studded bus. We had a car on a velcro, which, of course, works worse in the snow and ice. But even without any training of Lada X, the mechanical gearbox coped.

Summarizing

Pleasant improvements and improvements received all the variants of the model. And for them you do not need to pay. Well, a powerful version with a 1.8 liter motor on mechanics costs 685 900 rubles. Frankly not bad, if not the most advantageous offer in the classroom.

As the test drive of Lada X Rei Mechanics showed well across the snow, and with a new engine perfectly behaves on the highway.

Fair for the sake of calling the Xray failed car for the vase can not. And 16,000 cars scheduled for this year will be implemented. But, putting your hand on the heart, it's not the same circulation to be proud of.

In the serial embodiment, Xray appeared in the past December. Already then criticism appeared about the fact that the appearance of the car has little in common with the previously shown prototype. Where is the ease and swiftness of the image? No. However, on the background of the donor represented by Renault Sandero Stepway, the domestic crossover looks very different. Especially he is being red.

Initially, the salon makes an exceptionally positive impression. Here is a convenient grip multifunctional steering wheel, climate control with the display, made with taste of the seat upholstery. But, after sitting, you understand that Ixrey has where to grow: borrowed from the Sandero chairs are uncomfortable (Veszovskaya "Furniture" where as best), a smartphone to attach nowhere, and the make-up mirror will not embed it in both visors.

But the visibility is good - everything is visible from the driver's seat. Crawling only an image from the rear view camera: the monitor is pretty glare even with weak lighting. But the multimediasystem does not allow advanced navigation, which is capable of leading on the route with the traffic jams. And it makes it sometimes not worse than the popular and free app for Yandex. Navigator smartphones!

Xray became the first car brand for which the newest 1.8-liter 16-VAZ-21179 valve is available. In its assets, solid power (122 hp) and torque (170 nm). So, from the dynamics of the top version I expected a lot.

But, as the classic said, the hopes of young men feed. So my not justified. Motor Potential Robs String Auto-Gearbox (AMT): Zaminka, Click when switching ... AMT transmissions projected in the work of hydromechanical machines, the AMT transmission seems to be released by hell. Even I, a calm driver, then the case of the beast from these delays and jerks. And I have not liked that the car does not go after, standing, let go of the brake pedal. Xray will only roll in response to pressing the accelerator. In traffic jams are wildly uncomfortable!

Upset and smoothness. Lada regularly collects the whole road smallers and jumps bigger on the irregularities. But there is no complaints to the energy intensity of the suspension - it does not reach breaks. But where the beating is felt, so it's on the steering wheel. You will pass the heels of minutes on the broken asphalt, all are angry. And ok, the reward for this shame was verified handling - so there is no. In the turns of the XRAY dishortensant, the arc stands reluctantly and does not indulge informative feedback.

But outside the asphalt Xray moves quite confidently - it helps a good geometric permeability (the minimum road clearance is 195 mm!) And good engine traction on small turns. By the way, the system hold on the slope. The test car from the first batch means that it is impossible to disable ESP - there was not enough in the mud. However, with this fall, Togliatti made a series of improvements into the design of the Ixray, including the ESP deactivation button. Such an operational reaction to the wishes of buyers can only be welcomed.
