As soon as the manufacturer ceased to keep the dimensions of the Lada X Rey a secret, motorists had an excellent opportunity to evaluate the new car in many ways.
The similarity of Lada X Rey with Sandero.
The clearance of the Lada XRAY impressed the Russian consumer, as the manufacturer warned, the wheelbase is as close as possible to Sandero Stepway, both width and height, but the length turned out to be several centimeters larger.
There is nothing to be surprised at, because both machines were created on the same platform, they will also come off the same conveyor. AvtoVAZ explained that it was decided to take a subframe, body structure and suspension from Sandero. The elements of the external design are original, and to increase the rigidity of the structure, it was decided to install amplifiers.
Wheelbase and its capabilities.
The wheelbase largely determines the amount of space inside the cabin. Its size is 2592 mm. The overhangs were made short both front and rear, so at first glance it can be argued that the car has excellent cross-country ability. In terms of wheelbase dimensions, Lada X Rey took the honorable second place, the first place was taken by ASX.
Clearance ( ground clearance) Lada X Ray is 195 millimeters, which means that even front-wheel drive models will not have problems with cross-country ability.
The all-wheel drive model will be larger than the front-wheel drive model. The clearance of the Lada X-RAY will not exceed 170 millimeters, if this is a modification created for the city. For SUVs, this figure will increase by an average of 10-15 millimeters.
Back in 2012, visitors to the Moscow Motor Show and experts were pleasantly surprised by the presented conceptual crossover Lada X Ray Concept. The premiere meant a radically new approach of the Togliatti Automobile Plant to the future car production. Since then, various publications have published rare pictures on which one could see the novelty.
The description of Lada Kh Rey and the technical data of the car aroused the widest interest, which does not stop today. The year 2014 confirmed the desire of domestic automakers to produce modern attractive cars - the Lada X Ray Concept 2 was presented, which was already very close to the serial model.
Where is the crossover assembled? In December 2015, the serial production of the "high hatchback" B-class was launched in Togliatti. The X Ray Lada (photo above) is distinguished by its original interior and exterior design, and, according to the manufacturers, is the flagship of the new series of VAZ cars. The B0 line, on which the production of the crossover began, has been significantly modernized. In the future, it is planned to use the car-building capacities in Kazakhstan.
Lada XRay: specifications
The platform for the car was taken from Renault Sandero, which already means energy intensity, excellent handling and high ground clearance of the Lada X Rey. The bottom and the power component have changed little. The body has received increased rigidity thanks to which it also performs other important functions. The suspension, body and some components have undergone refinement. The engine lineup has changed.
The lineup will be represented only by the body type "hatchback", "station wagon" and "sedan" are not provided. The body is designed with Renault and Nissan, using innovative digital technologies. With a common platform with other AVTOVAZ models, manufacturers tried to achieve maximum external differences and improve technical characteristics.
It is stated that the design contains about 600 original parts, which are used for the first time at the VAZ. The manufacturer plans that more than 70% of components will be manufactured at Russian factories.
Overall dimensions of Lada X Rey
Dimensions Lada X Rey:
- Length / width / height - 4165/1764/1570 mm.
- The wheelbase is 2592 mm.
- The track size of the front / rear wheels is 1484/1524 mm with R16 wheels and 1492/1532 mm with R15 wheels.
- The Lada X Rey's ground clearance is 195 mm unloaded and 170 mm at maximum load.
- The mass is distributed between the axles in the ratio: front - 51%, rear - 49%.
- Front / rear overhangs - 830/743 mm.
- Entry / exit angles - 21/34 ° (without loading).
As you can see, the Xray Lada, the dimensions of which we have given above, can be attributed to front-wheel drive compact crossovers.
Suspension Lada X Rey
The front suspension of the Lada X Ray is independent, of the MacPherson type. It has significant differences from all front-wheel drive Lada models produced today. In the modified suspension, there are levers that are attached to the subframe by means of silent blocks. There is a ball pin at the end of the lever. Rear suspension- semi-independent twisted beam. This suspension is reliable and improves driving performance.
What is the engine on the Lada X Rey?
The manufacturer settled on three possible options engines. All of them are gasoline and enough:
- Basic VAZ-21129, well-proven and widely used in other AVTOVAZ models.
- The modernization of the intake system made it possible to increase the engine power from 98 hp. up to 106 hp At low revs air supply is carried out through long intake channels, and at high ones - through short ones, which ensures a change in the composition of the fuel mixture. The engine works with a 5-speed Renault gearbox, which is assembled at AVTOVAZ.
- Gasoline engine developed by Renault-Nissan (Nissan calls it HR16, Renault calls it H4M). The development of 2006 is massively installed on cars. The engine works in tandem with a 5-speed manual transmission from Renault.
- The modern and most powerful engine VAZ-21128. The engine performance has been improved through upgrades aimed at increasing the piston stroke. The connecting rod and piston group from the Federal-Mogul company is used, the production is carried out by a subsidiary of AVTOVAZ.
The engine is paired with a robotic automatic transmission... AMT (robot box) is a domestic development. The VAZ manual transmission was taken as a basis, and the German company ZF worked on the control electronics. The box is collected in Togliatti.

As you can see, the technical characteristics of the car make it quite competitive in the market and in demand among car owners. Many are worried about the question: is the body galvanized? This is an important aspect, so we hasten to reassure you - the body is completely galvanized, which significantly increases the resistance to corrosion.
Exterior Lada X Ray
When creating the model, the task was set to hide the similarity with its predecessors and "co-platform". It was fully successful. The car looks stylish, modern and original, while it is remembered and later recognized at first sight. The new corporate X-style is liked by car owners and has every chance of further continuation. You can see the details and details in the photo of the Lada X Ray. 
The basic aspect of style is always the front of the car. The front view fully demonstrates the brand's new face - dynamism and sportiness. The car is strikingly different from previous models. The dark, holistic X-shaped grille features a chrome badge and chrome zigzag side elements. They go down to modern stylish optics in which LED chains are integrated running lights.
Side view showing sloping roof, large slope windshield, stylish X-shaped side stampings, which only enhances the impression of swiftness and dynamism.
From behind, the car looks stern and fit. The boot lid is compact, the taillights are stylishly sophisticated and topped with an impressive plastic bumper trim.
The color scheme is represented by seven body colors and three types of coating. Lada X Rey body colors:
- black - "Black Pearl" (metallized enamel);
- gray-beige - "Gray basalt" (metallic);
- red - "Fiery Red" (metallic);
- silver-beige - "Platinum" (metallic);
- orange - "Fresh" (pearl enamel);
- white - "Glacial" (non-metallized enamel).
The available colors of Lada X Ray are shown in the photo.
Interior and photos of the salon
The new body also influenced the interior. The photo of the Lada XRay salon clearly indicates that it really is modern car... Salon Lada X Rey is quite consistent appearance auto. The interior of the salon looks noble and modern. Everything is quite laconic - the devices are immersed in wells, on the right is a screen on-board computer... Original ventilation deflectors look stylish. In front of the driver, a four-spoke wheel, in the top-end versions there are multimedia control keys on it.
The top-end center console houses a 7-inch infotainment display and climate controls. In basic versions, it is a radio tape recorder and control of the "stove" or air conditioner.
The interior is trimmed with textured plastics, the seat upholstery is fabric, there are many different places for storing small things in the cabin: pockets, a box under the passenger seat, cup holders, etc.
The front seats have a wide range of adjustments, the rear sofa is sufficient and roomy. When folding the rear row, a flat area is obtained, under the floor of the luggage compartment there is a place for a spare wheel. 
The dimensions of the cabin will make a comfortable trip for 4 passengers. Behind, two people will feel quite free, but it is possible to sit down and three of them. The dimensions of the space in front of the cabin allow the driver and front passenger to feel comfortable, regardless of height and weight.

Lada x ray cross
It is already clear that a car that has the above-described characteristics (suspension, engine, body geometry, etc.), I would like to see in the 4x4 version. The all-wheel drive version was announced by the manufacturer for a long time, the start of production was planned for 2016. Judging by the description, the SUV was supposed to have similar technical characteristics and design, and the Renault Duster was supposed to serve as the base for it.
However, according to the latest information, the project is frozen. The release of the car with all-wheel drive is not expected. Therefore, there is no need to guess what kind of drive the new item will have. Lada X Ray Cross will have front-wheel drive and the same dimensions, but the difference is only in the presence of basic roof rails and a plastic body kit.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of the car include the following performance characteristics:
- high ground clearance,
- reliable undercarriage;
- powerful engine;
- modern stylish look;
- equipping with modern security systems and driver assistance;
- acceptable price.
All this makes the car popular and in demand. It's too early to talk about the shortcomings, you need to wait for the owners' feedback. However, something can be noted even now. Specifications cars have already brought it so close to SUVs that before this segment there is only four-wheel drive.
Overall dimensions dimensions of Lada X Rey ceased to be a secret. The manufacturer himself published the official dimensions of Lada XRay. As expected, X-Ray was close in width, height, and wheelbase to Renault Sandero Stepway, but the length of the domestic crossover is slightly larger. Actually, all this is not surprising, because the cars have a common platform and will be assembled on one conveyor. Avtovaz representatives claim that they copied only the lower part of the Sandero, the power structure of the body, the subframe, and the suspension. And here are all the external panels body Lada XRay is our own, for greater rigidity we even had to install original amplifiers.
XRay body length is 4164 mm, width 1754 (according to mirrors 1983 mm), height 1570 mm. The wheelbase that determines the space in the cabin is 2592 mm. Short overhangs equal to 830 mm at the front and 742 mm at the rear allow us to speak of good geometric crossover crossover. And if you consider that the ground clearance of Lada X Rey is 195 mm, then we can say about good cross-country ability even in the front-wheel drive version.
Lada XRay trunk so far no one has seen, but the data on the volume of the luggage compartment is already there. According to official data, the trunk of the crossover holds 376 liters, and if the rear seats are folded, this figure rises to 1382 liters. You say very modest figures, but the car is not big either. Further more detailed mass-dimensional characteristics of X Ray.

Actually, if this crossover ever gets four-wheel drive, and the manufacturer promises that it will be
Lada X-Ray is positioned by the manufacturer as an SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) in the category subcompact crossovers... In fact, the car has nothing to do with this class. This is a standard five-door hatchback with increased ground clearance, built on the B0 sedan platform. Despite its decent ground clearance, the X-Ray is designed for city streets. It was first presented to the general public in August 2015 as part of the Moscow auto show Off road Show. However, the concept model debuted long before that - its presentation took place back in 2012 at International Motor Show in Moscow. In the near future, the urban pseudo-parquet operator Lada X-Ray will appear in an updated form, but when exactly, no one knows.
Interior and exterior of Lada X-Ray
The appearance of X Ray turned out to be attractive and modern. All thanks to the successful X-style of the car line. The front of the hatchback looks massive with a recognizable styling under the letter X, framed by chrome lines. They flow smoothly into the strong head optics of lighting technology with a strip of LED daytime running lights. On the doors on the sides, as on Vesta, there are characteristic stampings with an X-shape. The dynamism is underlined by the strong slope of the windshield, the sloping roof and the short overhangs at the front and rear. The back part does not stand out with anything special, it is neatly made thanks to the shape rear lights... The bumper has a massive plastic trim, and the boot lid is small and stylish.
The base of X-Ray is the same as that of the sedan, so its overall dimensions it is not much different. Its parameters:
- length - 4164 mm;
- width - 1764 mm;
- height - 1570 mm;
- the distance between the axles of the wheels is 2520 mm.
The main feature of this hatchback is its decent ground clearance, which is 195 mm, and with the maximum curb weight, the ground clearance is reduced to 170 mm. Inside the cabin, everything resembles an ordinary Lada Vesta. In terms of its architecture, the equipment does not differ in futurism, but it is quite informative and understandable. Dashboard has everything you need, each device has its own well - there are three of them. On the right is the on-board computer screen. The modern four-spoke steering wheel is distinguished by a clear relief.
Top-end configurations are equipped with a multifunctional steering wheel with duplicate navigation buttons, telephone, cruise control and audio system. A 7-inch touchscreen is integrated in the middle of the center console. On both sides of it there are ventilation and heating system deflectors.
Below is the air conditioning control unit. It has an uncomplicated, rather primitive design and simple appearance... This is how the maximum modifications look like - the base multimedia system is not used. Instead, a conventional audio recorder with a monochrome screen is installed, and instead of the climate control unit, rotary switches for the heater and air conditioner are installed.
In the interior, plastic is used for finishing, not the best quality, but also not hard. The fabric is used for the upholstery of the seats. The front seats have mediocre lateral support, but it is possible to adjust the position for tilt and height. To accommodate various little things in the interior of the hatchback, a large number of places are provided - pockets with cup holders on the front doors, a retractable luggage compartment under the front passenger seat. There is also a niche and two cup holders under the center console. The back row of seats is a solid sofa with a simple design and comfortable relief. Passengers will be comfortable to sit, but no additional comfort is provided.
The luggage compartment of the X-Ray is modest even in comparison with the sedan - only 372 liters. But if you add up rear seats, the usable volume increases to 1380 liters. The transformation allows you to get a luggage compartment with a flat floor.
Under the trunk mat there is a full-size spare wheel radius R15. At the same time, the car is equipped with R16 wheels as standard.
Specifications
In the line of Lada Iks Rey engines, there are 3 power units, all of them are 4-cylinder, atmospheric gasoline, brought to the Euro-5 standard. They can be paired with a mechanical or robotic five-speed transmission. Front-wheel drive only.

The front suspension is a standard MacPherson strut and the rear is a semi-independent torsion bar. Steering gear with a rack, which is complemented by an electric amplifier. The braking system is provided at the rear with standard drums, and at the front there are ventilated discs.
Differences in complete sets
V dealerships the first Lada X-Ray models appeared on February 14, 2016, three basic configurations were offered to potential buyers: Optima, Luxe, Exclusive. The standard modification "Optima" is estimated at a minimum of 600,000 rubles, paying which, you can count on the basic equipment:
- frontal airbags for the driver and passenger;
- Daytime Running Lights;
- on-board computer;
- alarm and immobilizer;
- security systems ( anti-lock braking system ABS, distribution system braking efforts EBD, ESP stability and traction control);
- electric power steering;
- ERA-GLONASS;
- hill start assistant and stabilization function;
- front electric windows;
- audio system with 4 speakers;
- R15 alloy wheels.
In addition to basic configuration you can purchase a package of Advance options (the cost will increase by 60,000 rubles). For this money, the buyer will receive an air conditioner, heating the driver's and passenger seats, multifunction steering wheel, glove compartment with refrigerator function, electric rear windows and heated side mirrors. Complete set "Lux" is offered from 710,000 rubles, the following equipment is added:

The maximum grade X-Ray costs at least 810,000 rubles. In addition, the buyer gets a darker tinted rear hemisphere, a multimedia system with a seven-inch touchscreen display, a navigation system, a rear view camera and a more advanced audio system with 6 speakers.
New Lada X Ray Cross 2018 model year can expand the buying audience for the model. For the first time "live" versions of Lada XRay Cross were publicly presented at the end of August 2016. But it has only now come to the serial versions of the off-road hatchback with high ground clearance. Most likely, the market success of Lada Vesta Cross will predetermine the fate of XRay Cross.
Avtovaz knows the recipe for off-road versions of conventional cars. Moreover, we already have experience. Kalina Cross, Largus Cross and latest novelty Vesta Cross, which may be the most successful in this series. Cross does not require serious alterations. Master the production of plastic linings, supply wheels bigger size and readjust the suspension for the increased ground clearance. With XP it will be even easier, you don't even need to touch the suspension, there, and so the clearance is at a fairly off-road level.
The exterior of the XRAY Cross will receive original bumpers, protective plastic on the wheel arches, protective moldings on the doors and sills. Perhaps they will put on the model alloy wheels original design. A plastic body kit made of unpainted plastic is designed to protect the enamel of the body on light off-road. If we consider that light off-road conditions are in the center of many cities, then there is no doubt about the success of the model's appearance.
Photos of the new Lada X Ray Cross 2018
The creation of the interior of the "Cross" versions with the current proven technologies is not a serious task. Moreover, X Ray already has the ability to install multi-colored panels on the door trim, the front panel ... And even find the original fabric on the armchairs and beautifully stitch it with bright orange threads. Whether a bright orange illumination of the instrument panel will appear is an open question, since on the Vesta SW Cross this solution turned out to be unfinished. Since in bright light, daytime for example, the instrument panel is difficult to read. Perhaps for Hray Cross they will offer another backlighting option.

Specifications Lada XRay Cross
There are quite a few rumors about the possibility of producing an all-wheel drive version of the XRay Cross 4x4. Even using a ready-made solution, from the same Renault Duster with its electromagnetic clutch, the costs can become an unbearable burden for Avtovaz. And the final price of the all-wheel drive Xray Cross is unlikely to be cheaper than its main competitors, and the competition in this niche is serious.
Therefore, in technical terms, one should not expect miracles and incredible breakthroughs. The same Renault Sandero Stepway platform with all the challenges and benefits. Front independent suspension "MacPherson", rear semi-independent deformable beam. Front disc brakes, rear cast iron drums. Although in Vesta Cross at the rear, they abandoned drums in favor of disc brakes. Perhaps such an innovation will be introduced into XRay Cross.
Front-wheel drive and transverse arrangement power unit has a number of its advantages, however, when creating all-wheel drive versions, it has a lot of limitations. Under the hood, X Ray initially announced not only domestic engines, but also a modern Renault-Nissan unit with a volume of 1.6 liters with an aluminum block of cylinders and a timing chain drive. It was even installed on some of the first batch cars.
Base 1.6 liter gasoline aspirated with 106 hp. put on almost all Lada models. The unit was born long ago with both 5-speed mechanics and robotic box AMT. A more powerful and promising 1.8-liter 122-horsepower engine can already in 2018 be paired with a CVT from the Renault-Nissan alliance or a classic torque converter automatic. Most likely, on the off-road versions of X Ray, these transmission options will appear first.

Price and configuration of Lada X Ray Cross 2018 model year
As practice shows, off-road versions of "Cross" are much more expensive than the basic versions of donor cars. there are several reasons for this. Firstly, for Cross modifications, they take a rather expensive package as a basis. Secondly, do not forget about other bumpers, plastic body kit and interior with original inserts. This adds up to the cost.
For example, take the Vesta Cross in the Lux configuration with a 1.8 liter engine and an AMT robotic gearbox worth 805,900 rubles, an analogue of the Vesta SW in the same configuration, with the same engine, has a price tag of 762,900 rubles. That is, the overpayment for Cross is 43 thousand rubles. Knowing the price of an ordinary XPay, it is enough to add 40-45 thousand rubles and get the price of XRay Cross in the same configuration and the same power unit.
