The basis for the production of Grant in the liftback body was the original version of this model, therefore their dimensions are almost identical. But, of course, there are still some differences. Let's consider them.
- Body length reduced by 14 mm.
- The ceiling of the passenger compartment in the rear seat area has become slightly smaller, by about 8 cm.
As you can see, the parameters of the liftback and sedan are almost identical. However, does this apply to the trunk? Consider the indicators in liters and in physical terms.
What are the dimensions of the trunk
The trunk of the Lada Grant is quite voluminous and roomy. Before we find out its volume, we first analyze its dimensions. They look like this:
- length from the door to the back of the rear seat - 1040 mm;
- height from floor to ceiling (without rug) - 610 mm;
- opening width - 1350 mm;
- width between lugs – 920 mm.
The trunk volume of the car Lada Granta liftback is 480 liters. According to this indicator, the car is somewhat inferior to some competitors. For example, another popular car in Russia - Renault Logan - boasts great performance. Here, the trunk volume is about 510 liters. However, this figure is difficult to consider reliable, since the manufacturer presents only a theoretical calculation. For Lada Granta, the values are established reliably.
In addition, Renault Logan is much more expensive, and in order to save money, some motorists are willing to sacrifice a relatively small difference in performance. In addition, if you do not have enough space, it can be increased very easily. This can be done simply by dismantling the back seat of the car. In this case, the trunk volume will immediately increase to 960 liters, and this is a very serious value.
Lada Granta, in addition to the traditional four-door version, has a hatchback modification, which is also called a liftback. a body of shorter length, and its ground clearance, on the contrary, is greater. The trunk lid of the Lada Granta liftback is made together with the rear window, which makes the car unlike traditional hatchbacks. But one of the main characteristics of interest to motorists is the trunk volume of the Lada Granta liftback.
Full description of the trunk
With the rear seats folded down, they make up 770 liters, and in the normal state - 440. Among serial VAZs, this is the first liftback in history. In terms of luggage compartment, the new Grant left behind even the Volkswagen Golf, one of the most popular hatchbacks in the world. Nevertheless, on the Golf with the rear seats folded down, the trunk volume increases to 1200 liters, which the Lada designers failed to do because of the desire to keep the wheelbase the same as the sedan.
So, what will the real owners say about the size and? On the Internet, you can find many photos taken by the owners of a domestic liftback. Car owners are sometimes quite surprised at how many different things a new car can accommodate. But it turns out that with a large trunk volume, not everything is as rosy as described in the advertisement.
Rear seats Grants can only be folded when the front seats are pushed all the way forward. In this case, the rear head restraints must first be unscrewed. The top shelf of the trunk is easily removed, which is very useful if you need to transport something large. Volume, of course, is not added, but the load does not rest on anything. The shelf is up in the photo. The niches on the right and left can accommodate medium-sized bags, and if necessary, a strategic set of tools for auto repair on your own.
Above these recesses there are hangers for packages: now they do not need to clutter up the rear seats. A lamp is provided above the left niche, but it only works if the driver turns on the dipped headlights. In cloudy weather and in the evening - a good addition, but given that you can forget to turn on the low beam, it turns out not very convenient.
The spare wheel is traditionally located under the trunk mat, along with a standard set of jack and wheel wrench. It turns out that you can put a larger diameter wheel in this place without any problems if, for example, the owner wants to put 16-inch wheels. There will still be room for tools. This is easy to figure out by looking at the photo.
didn't get good reviews. The "motorist's bag" with Velcro can no longer be attached to it, and the quality of the mat material is worse than it could be. And the trunk really needs a rubber mat. A pile coating is not suitable for this role, since, firstly, it can be damaged by the flow of various liquids, and secondly, it will collect all the dirt and dust from the luggage compartment.
The rubber cover in the trunk Grants easily fits on top of the usual. But, if you store something in the spare wheel recess, you need to take into account that one mat will rest against the side niches of the trunk and bend, and if you put some things over the spare wheel, they will fall into the resulting recess.
Features and disadvantages of the luggage compartment
As practice has shown, the subwoofer cannot be placed in the trunk of a liftback without the risk of damaging it. If delivered, it will no longer be possible to transport bulk cargo. Thus, it is better to prefer practicality to excessive aesthetics. The luggage compartment lid opens, more precisely, it is unlocked with a special button on the key. It is necessary to open it up with your hands, which means that dirt on the palms and clothes cannot be avoided. Another drawback is obvious - if you forget the key in the ignition, you will have to return for it.
The trunk handles are described by users as unusual and uncomfortable, more reminiscent of recesses, they can be seen and appreciated in the photo. The compartment slams silently, you even have to make sure that it is closed. In addition, the fifth door is heavy, it must be slightly pushed to tilt up. Pressing the trunk release button in the cabin (it is not standard) sometimes does not allow the lid to close, causing a malfunction in the lock. It is necessary to press the button again so that the lock takes its place and the lid finally closes.
Not everything is comfortable that is stylish and beautiful. But the minor drawbacks of the liftback can be neglected. This is how the design came out: either tolerate it or not. The opening of the luggage compartment itself turned out to be quite wide, which is probably useful for summer residents. This is also visible in the photo. In its silhouette, the hatchback looks much faster and prettier than the sedan. It was not easy to fit a large trunk into the framework of a strictly chosen wheelbase, which is why the inconvenience described above turned out.
But since the Grant is cheaper than its competitors and quite to the liking of people who like to travel comfortably with the whole family, taking with them half the benefits of civilization, the car is simply doomed to success. The Grant is a serious step towards a qualitative leap in the automotive industry of the city of Togliatti and a reason for the pride of Russians.
No one will tell the “grant owner” that he has a typical car of a summer resident. Going on a picnic, fishing, hunting in such a car is also an easy task, because the dimensions allow you to capture everything you need for nature. In general, car owners have a positive impression of the liftback.
As for the luggage compartment - do not forget to switch to low beam at night, do not put the things you need in the spare wheel pan, buy a different rubber mat, change the location of the tools, do not put a subwoofer and learn how to open and close the lid, and the trunk will be great .
Please note that two ignition keys are included with the liftback. The one with the red mark on the end is best stored separately from the worker, as it opens both the doors and the trunk. To the trunk separately, you can purchase a trim along with a set of tools and a seal. It is installed using the screws included in the kit.
The installation can be carried out alone, but, according to the advice of experienced motorists, it is better to do it together. Perhaps additional noise isolation will not hurt, as it remains a weak link: stone impacts and oncoming air flows are very well felt by ear when driving.
What is a Lada Granta liftback and what are its technical characteristics?
Fuel consumption Lada Grants with automatic transmission
Lada Granta Liftback is built on a platform from Granta Sedan, which means that the dimensions of the body are as close as possible to the "sedan" ones.
The width and height are the same: 1700 x 1500 mm, but the length is shorter by as much as 150 mm, and is 4246 mm.
Inside the cabin, the proportions are observed, with the exception of the free space above the head of passengers in the rear row of seats. It was reduced by 8.0 cm. In general, there is no discomfort.
The main trump card of the Liftback model is the increased spacea of the luggage compartment, despite the overall reduction in body length. With the seats folded, the volume is 440 liters, unfolded - 760 liters.
Overview of the trunk, what and where is located
In the basic configuration of the Lada Granta Liftback, there is no remote drive to unlock the doors. In the Lux versions, a mechanical button is installed on the key.
To unlock the fifth door, just press the button once. Then lift the lid by mechanical action of the hand. Note that it is not easy, one little finger will not be enough, make an effort.
Even when folded, the trunk is roomy and impressive. The perimeter is sheathed with felt, fleecy material. It serves as both a cladding and a silencer.
Unfortunately, there is no rubber mat on the floor, only fleecy material. If necessary, the owner can independently purchase a rubber coating.
Having lifted the false shelf, in the center we will see a recess for the spare wheel. Moreover, the standard disk radius is 14 inches, and you can lay it on all 16. Convenient and practical, as there is free space.
In addition to a full-fledged tire, a mechanical jack and a wheel wrench are placed. If desired, you can fit a towing cable, which must be purchased separately, it is not supplied as standard.
Grant Liftback trunk dimensions in centimeters
The dimensions of the raised floor of the trunk in the Lada Granta Liftback
The parameters of the spare wheel compartment are as follows:
- diameter: 80 - 81 cm;
- planting depth: 22 cm.
However, it is not recommended to use the personal belongings compartment, as it is designed to store a spare wheel. The absence of a spare chassis element jeopardizes the driving safety of the vehicle.
Trunk size comparison with other brands
Grant Liftback has not the worst trunk dimensions, despite the shortened body. The model successfully competes with many European car brands.
Features and disadvantages of the luggage compartment
- To fully expand the rear row of seats into a flat platform, you will need to remove the head restraints. Otherwise, they will rest against the back of the front seats. The seating angle will not exceed 160 - 165°;
- To remotely unlock the rear door lock, you must double-click the mechanical key fob button;
- To raise the trunk lid, you need to make a lot of effort, the door is moderately heavy;
- A one-piece rubber mat on the false shelf is impractical, because with frequent use of the spare wheel, the mechanical jack, the sides touch the fleecy lining, wearing it out.
What will fit from bulky cargo into the trunk of a Liftback
With the rear seats folded down, the trunk holds four tires with a radius of 14 to 15 inches. Plus, there is room on the sides for stowage of tools, a tow rope, a foot pump for pumping wheels.
To transport oversized cargo, within the permissible load, it is necessary to temporarily dismantle the shelf. For this you need:
- Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew two self-tapping screws on each side at the base.
- Remove the cables from the upper loops.
Owner Tips
- To prevent the false shelf trim from wearing out prematurely, buy a composite floor for the luggage compartment. As an alternative, choose a Polik from Renault Logan Wagon.
- In order to reduce the noise level from impacts of gravel and stones, install additional noise insulation. The process of pasting is simple, within the power of every car owner. No special equipment is required.
- As standard, the Lada Granta Sedan and Liftback are supplied with two ignition keys: one is black, the second is black with a red layer. Always keep the latter, as it unlocks both the doors and the trunk. In case of loss, restoration will be a rather troublesome procedure.

| 7. | Vladislav: I live in the countryside and for me the modification of the body "Sedan" is not practical. You can fit quite a lot in the Liftback, and even more in the unfolded position. |
| Negative | |
| 1. | Victor: there is nothing special in the trunk, it is too narrow, only 940 cm at the extreme point between the rear glasses. In Renault Logan, the dimensions are 15 cm wider. |

Conclusion
The size of the trunk of the Lada Granta Liftback must be given credit. The engineers did their best, the parameters are higher than a number of European brands: Volkswagen, Skoda, Opel, Seat.

Video - New Lada Granta Liftback 2017 (trunk review pros and cons)
There are not many requirements for budget cars, especially of domestic production. The main thing for drivers is to get from one point to another, accommodate the whole family with relative comfort and load the necessary things.
The emergence of technologies such as online services to earn money on their personal vehicles has allowed many to earn extra money, which creates the need to transport even more things.
Consider the trunk of Lada Grants for practicality in 2018:,.
All trunks on three LADA Granta models
Trunk Lada Grants sedan
The sedan is equipped with a fairly roomy trunk. As a standard, the driver receives about 520 liters. It is impossible to speak categorically about the lack of such a volume. Given the price category of the car, the volume of the trunk corresponds to it.
If desired, any travel bag, fishing tackle, bags of vegetables and much more can fit in 520 liters. Many motorists are specifically looking at the Lada Grant because of its chic trunk, in their opinion.
The main parameters of the volume of 520 l:
- length: 103 cm;
- width: from 94 to 132 cm;
- height: about 50 cm.
There is evidence that up to 6 standard sacks of potatoes fit in the trunk of a Lada Grant sedan. Summer residents will breathe a sigh of relief with such a load. For urban residents, the standard volume is even more enough, if not, then you can always expand the seat backs and get your 815 liters.
When changing tires to winter drivers indicate that the R16 can easily fit in the trunk and cabin for a pair of tires. With R17, difficulties will already arise. Here you need to already transport on a trailer or use a more spacious car.
Trunk Lada Grants liftback
Liftback shows more modest results. In normal condition, the trunk will show 440 liters. It's more about urban transport. City dwellers have enough space for all their daily activities: stow bags from the store, a baby stroller, some items from the hardware store. Enough for the average family man.
For transportation of household appliances LADA Granta in this model is also useful. By folding out the second row of seats, the space increases to 760 liters. Refrigerators, washing machines, cars and other goods of a similar size in length are accommodated without problems.
Characteristics of the trunk for 760 liters:
- length: 158 cm;
- length to seat backs: 96 cm;
- width: from 867 to 130 cm;
- height: 52 cm.
There are no reviews on the capacity of bags of potatoes and other vegetables, but if desired, a couple of bags will definitely fit. The liftback is convenient from the side of low loading and a small side of the trunk. It is easier for women to get into the salon when it is necessary to put something inside.
Trunk Lada Grants station wagon
The smallest trunk in the station wagon is 355 liters. It is difficult to talk about its volume, if we are talking about spaciousness. Definitely, such a Grant is not suitable for all motorists in our country. In the city, 355 liters may also not be enough, because going on vacation to put all the luggage inside is almost impossible.
The size is slightly better when the sofa is unfolded - 670 liters. Although there has been more space for transportation, it will not be possible to take anyone except for one passenger. Much to paint about such a small trunk is stupid. Every driver understands that here you just need to enjoy the ride, and not carry out transportation.
Today, the car is popular and in demand in the Russian car market. The main advantage of this car model is its low cost. This factor gives Russian motorists a priority opportunity to purchase a high-quality and multifunctional car at a fairly attractive price.
Capacity and dimensions
As for the other priority advantages of the new car brand, it should be noted the spaciousness and dimensions of the trunk, which, due to their parameters, are in no way inferior to the best world manufacturers of foreign cars. According to the developers, the trunk volume of the Lada Grant is 480 liters.
These parameters are as close as possible to the parameters of the world famous car brand, the trunk volume of which reaches 510 liters. Nevertheless, such a figure is named solely from the theoretical calculations of French specialists, and this figure was assigned to Lada Granta thanks to the practical experiments of the developers. Moreover, the cost of a Russian car cannot even be compared with the fabulous price of Renault Logan.
Many people repeatedly recall the phrase of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin, said at the presentation of the Lada Granta car in Togliatti. Then he, just looking at the trunk of the car, said that it could fit at least two bags of potatoes. This case immediately prompted the idea of the need to determine the real possibilities of the luggage compartment of the car.
Through tests, it was revealed that in reality 6 bags of potatoes can be placed in the trunk of the Lada Grant with a standard weight of each bag of 32-35 kg.
Luggage compartment features Grant sedan
Since the sedan was declared by the developers as a family car, its functions and capabilities should include the transportation of a significant amount of cargo. It is for this reason that the developers decided to install a one-piece rear seat in the car, which, if necessary, will make it possible to fold it and take it out of the passenger compartment. Among all Lada models, this model is the easiest to fold. If the seat is folded, then the spacious trunk area of the Lada Grants expands to 960 l³, thus increasing its functionality and capabilities.
But at this stage, the testers decided not to stop and conducted a few more experiments, thanks to which it was found that the Lada Granta Sedan can accommodate 11 bottles of water with a volume of 20 liters, 3 rolls of mesh, the length of which reaches 15 m, and the height is 1 ,5. In addition, Lada Granta is so spacious that you can load firewood into it, transport 4 wheels, household items such as a washing machine, bicycle, baby carriage. All these possibilities are achieved thanks to the capacity and dimensions of the trunk.
The disadvantage of this car is that the trunk lid must be supported manually when placing cargo in it. To solve this problem, it is enough to install a special device on the Lada Grant, which makes it possible to open the trunk and keep it open. These are gas stops. You don't need to drill anything. They . It is better to carry out such a procedure with someone than alone, since it is very inconvenient to do it on your own.
Soundproofing the trunk of any car plays an important role, since this factor ensures a comfortable stay in. In order to ensure comfort in the cabin and improve the trunk, you must first dismantle its lining. Then you need to clean and degrease the work surface. Usually, a vibration isolating material is used as the first layer. From it, sheets of the required size should be cut.
Heat up the bituminous side with a blow dryer. After that, the so-called vibration is glued to the cleaned surface. Then it is rolled out by means of a hard roller. The second layer of sound insulation is overlapped. Usually use an accent. Cover everything but the vents. Noise isolation is ready. The trunk lock also has its drawbacks. The whole problem is that it opens manually and at the same time creates inconvenience, in order to avoid which, as a rule, an electric drive is put on the trunk lock, which makes the car more modern.
Given all the advantages of the Lada Grant and its capacity, it should be noted that the shortcomings that the car has pale in comparison to them. Therefore, having such a vehicle in your arsenal is not so bad. It is perfect for a family vacation trip. The versatility and capabilities of Grants are so impressive for motorists of the Russian car market that they are simply unable to refuse to buy it.
