Dimensions of the trunk of a VAZ 2107 in centimeters photo

All about the roof rack VAZ 2107

Cars of the VAZ “classic” family enjoy well-deserved love, including as economic “horses”.
These cars carry trailers, building materials stick out of the windows, and, of course, every self-respecting summer resident has a special roof rack for transporting oversized and long cargo. First of all, you need to decide on the dimensions of the VAZ 2107 trunk in order to know what maximum dimensions of cargo can be placed in the trunk with the lid closed. Here they are:

Everything that extends beyond these dimensions must be placed on the roof of the VAZ 2107 and transported on the top, removable trunk. This is especially true for long items. Materials such as boards, sticks, floor slats, if they do not exceed 4.5 meters in length, may not be marked with red marker flags. In the event that they protrude beyond the front and rear bumpers, they must bear the oversized load mark. This is especially true at the rear end.

There is an explanation for this: the front end is clearly visible to the driver, and he himself makes sure not to drive too close at the traffic lights.

The roof rack of the car is designed for a weight of no more than 50 kilograms. If the driver is sure that the road will be perfect, without the slightest holes, bumps and vertical vibrations, then you can put 75 and even in extreme cases 80-90 kg, but no more. Carrying heavier loads will cause deformation of the body structure, and this leads to disruption of the opening and closing of doors.

The photo shows an old trunk that was produced in the USSR. Its weak point is its “bowl-shaped” shape with raised edges. On such a trunk it is difficult to transport barrels placed on the roof, sheets of cellular polycarbonate rolled into cylinders due to the small number of points of contact.

Currently, all “classics” have high-strength and lightweight roof racks that fit all car models, from VAZ 2101 to VAZ 2107. They are made quite durable and lightweight, and are coated with anti-corrosion powder paints.

The supporting system itself, as a rule, is hollow box-shaped bars made of strong sheet metal, square in cross-section, which are located in a single row, in the amount of 6 - 8, connected at the ends by supports that give rigidity to the structure. Four support mechanisms, which have different designs, are attached to the supports. Most often they are made using eccentric - tightening screws.

In order not to scratch the profile of the VAZ 2107 drain, to which the trunk is attached, the contacting parts are equipped with inserts - polyethylene liners.

When installing a trunk on a VAZ 2107, you must follow two rules:

It is even more important to follow the rules for securing cargo on the trunk.

By applying these simple rules, you can avoid troubles associated with a sudden drop and damage to the load, or - even worse - creating an emergency situation on the road.

Useful information about the "seven"

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"

The weight of the “seven” is exactly 1030 kilograms. At the same time, the car body is the heaviest among all other parts and components (600 kg). Its assembly diagram differs in a standard, classic sequence for VAZs and includes the following elements:

• Front end parts along with fenders, complemented by reinforcements;
• Roof;
• The bottom is also well reinforced, especially in the front and rear;
• Sidewalls.

Each of the parts is made from a special type of steel, has its own ID number, a specific mold and casting pattern. So, the roof of the “seven” always has a thickness of 0.9 mm.

The body parts are combined with each other by welding. If elements, for example, such as the floor, bear a significant load, they are additionally strengthened by arc welding.

In addition to the main elements, the body of the “seven” also has attached parts called “tails”. These are the parts that can be connected with bolts and hinges to the main frame - bumpers, hood, and so on.

The body length of the VAZ 2107 reaches 4126 mm, the width is 1620 mm, and the height is 1435 mm.

Control dimensions or correct body geometry

It is not enough for the owner of the “Seven” to know only the standard parameters of the car. It will also be useful to study the control body dimensions of the VAZ 2107 or the points of the car’s frame, especially if the owner plans to improve the dynamics of the car by lightening the body.

Note. In addition, knowing these parameters of the car, you can easily restore the body after an accident. And one more thing: when buying a used “Seven”, it will be easy to find out whether the car has been in an accident by comparing the body dimensions of the VAZ 2107 with the standard ones.

The diagram below shows the main control dimensions of the VAZ 2107.

The same diagram shows how to check the control points of the body floor.

Control of the geometry of the body and the attachment points of the chassis and floor units is carried out on a special installation. This is a special type of machine designed for body inspection and repair. This is what he looks like.

On such a machine, not only measurements are carried out, but also further editing of the body. The purpose of the operation is to recreate the original linear dimensions of the body.

ID VAZ 2107

On the “seven”, like other cars, individual technical information is indicated. It is presented in the table, which can be found under the hood.

IDs imply information not only about the car model. This contains detailed information about the body number and its weight.

Load capacity of the trunk of a VAZ 2107

The AvtoVAZ classic is especially popular as a “workhorse” designed for transporting a variety of cargo. The internal dimensions of the “seven” do not allow it to accommodate large items. Such cargo cannot be placed not only in the trunk, but even in the passenger compartment. Installing a VAZ 2107 roof rack allows you to completely solve the problem with oversized and long cargo.

Load capacity and capacity of VAZ station wagons and hatchbacks

Those who especially value a truck in a passenger car prefer station wagons, or, in extreme cases, hatchbacks.

- the most common and cheapest station wagon. The “Four” does not amaze with the high-pile carpets in the trunk (there are none there at all) and the exquisite door upholstery. But the plastic is easy to clean, it is not afraid of spilled Antifreeze and Obzor. Like a truck, the car is spoiled by the awkward trunk shelf, the fifth door opening tapering towards the bottom, and the wheel arches. You can easily transform the interior.

— the last word in the field of domestic universal construction. The successor to the Quartet holds 25% more in volume and 10% more in weight. In terms of carrying capacity, the “eleventh” was even ahead of the spring-loaded “Volga”. The rear seat, like on decent foreign cars, easily folds out in parts (2:1), creating the only problem - where to put the headrests? In general, the “eleventh” is a modern, surprisingly roomy “shed”. In terms of product and price: a front-wheel drive station wagon is twice (!) more expensive than a “classic” one.

Why do you need a roof rack?

As mentioned above, a roof rack is needed to transport oversized cargo. If you take a bicycle or skis with you, if you have to transport building materials, if you periodically face the problem of transporting seedlings or crops, then a roof rack will be the simplest and cheapest solution to the problem. Sometimes cargo that does not fit in the trunk of a car is transported in the cabin. This solution impairs the view of the road and rear-view mirrors, which can lead to an accident. Therefore, installing a roof rack on the VAZ 2107 provides additional safety when transporting large cargo.

Today, the next article in the series “Crystal VAZs or typical breakdowns of domestic cars” is dedicated to the “classics”: VAZ-2101, 2103, 2104, 2104, 2105, 2106 and 2107. These cars have been driving along our roads for decades and, despite Despite all the shortcomings that we will talk about, their popularity is still high.

Types of roof racks for VAZ 2107

There are three types of roof rack designs: open, closed and in the form of a special rack (for example, for a bicycle).

On the market you can find all three types of roof racks designed for installation on the VAZ 2107. Typically, the dimensions of the VAZ 2107 roof rack are approximately 1x1.3 meters. Thus, the trunk does not extend beyond the dimensions of the car and does not create additional difficulties when driving.

Recently, inflatable roof racks have appeared on sale, but due to their low strength and inability to transport heavy loads, they are not popular among owners of “Sevens”.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of roof racks include:

However, installing a trunk has certain disadvantages:

The load capacity of the VAZ 2107 roof rack is limited to 50 kilograms. If necessary, you can load the car more, but in this case, when driving on uneven roads, the loads can damage the body pillars.

Facing panel (apron) and front bumper

The facing panel or front apron on the “seven” plays more of a decorative role. But besides giving a stylish appearance, an apron also provides many benefits. In particular, thanks to it, during rain, water does not fly directly onto the windshield, but is cut off by this element.

The apron is located directly under the bumper and is a flexible shield that also serves to prevent damage to the front of the car from splashes from under the wheels.

This structural element of the body has special holes for the front bumper brackets and the radiator grille (the latter is attached to it). The apron, due to its “extreme” location (bottom and front), becomes vulnerable to impacts and corrosion. Connected to the body by spot welding.

The design of the "seven" apron must be thought out carefully and correspond to the shape and geometry of the entire car body, otherwise it will simply vomit at high speed. In addition, non-compliance with geometry and design will lead to increased fuel consumption at high speed.

The price for a front apron for a VAZ 2107 individually starts from 600 rubles. The part may be of different workmanship, have a different color and different design features.

Front aprons, sold as a separate element of body decor, come with special mounts to the bumper. As for the original Semerovo ones, they are welded, as mentioned above, to the car body.

The rear apron is also required and must have special fastening plates that ensure its immovable condition and prevent it from coming off on the road.

Front bumper

The bumper is not only designed to retain the energy of a frontal impact first, but also plays a significant role in the exterior design of the Seven. In other words, this is a beam located in front and protects the body from damage in minor collisions.

Thanks to modern synthetic-based materials, bumpers have become much lighter and more beautiful than they were before. Thus, elegant bumpers with bent edges also serve as spoilers, increasing the downforce of the car.

The front and rear bumpers on the VAZ 2107 are made of plastic or thin metal and have chrome trim. They are mounted using special brackets.

The front bumper is equipped with a platform for attaching a license plate and for this reason is 5 cm wider than the rear one.

Today, the owner of the “Seven” is offered three options for bumpers for the VAZ 2107: plastic, plastic with chrome lining, and with brackets for fastening. The price starts from 600 rubles.

Front bumper tuning

Modernizing the front bumper of the “Seven”, first of all, means improving the appearance. To be honest, the factory bumpers of the VAZ 2107 family look, to put it mildly, fake. They do not carry any visual, or even more importantly, high-quality functionality.

The implementation of the idea of ​​tuning the bumper on a VAZ 2107 (the rear one is also possible) consists in strengthening it with a metal profile of an L-shaped section. In addition, to give a more aesthetic appearance, the part moves slightly from the body.

You need to work with the bumpers removed. Here's what to do:

• Place the pre-prepared reinforcing corner to the bumper and mark the mounting holes, and then drill them in the profile;
• The lower part of the profile bends forward. This creates a fastener for the lower bumper bolt;
• First, the amplifier is attached to the body, then the bumper is attached to it.

As a result, we get a massive bumper that is not afraid of light and medium impacts and looks much more impressive in appearance than the factory one.

How to install a roof rack on a VAZ 2107

The roof of the VAZ 2107 has storm drains to which the trunk racks should be attached. On vehicles without storm drains, the roof rack rests directly on the roof, increasing the chances of it deforming and damaging the paint when overloaded.

When installing the trunk, you must ensure that its edges are at an equal distance from the rear and windshield. This will ensure proper distribution of the load on the roof and body pillars. The rack mounts themselves must be placed so that they do not interfere with the opening and closing of the doors. “Sevens” of recent years of production have special marks in the interior, indicating the location of the front trunk pillars. Based on this, it is not difficult to calculate the installation locations of the rear pillars. Before tightening the fastenings of the trunk struts, you must make sure that they are parallel to each other and are not distorted. If you install the roof rack incorrectly, its fastenings can scratch the roof. When the posts are installed, the fasteners must be tightened tightly so that the rubber seals are pressed tightly against the roof gutters. After fixing the trunk struts to the body, it is ready to transport cargo. The main thing is to take good care of securing the load so as not to lose it during sudden braking or maneuvering.

Installing an additional trunk

For roofs with storm drains, the first step is to attach the roof rack supports. It is very important to maintain symmetry during installation and ensure that they fit into their seals. If there is misalignment or they move freely, this will cause damage to the paintwork of your car. The adjusting knob of the fastening must be rotated until the rubber seals are securely seated.

This should be done without using much effort, the main thing is not to overtighten. If you overtighten the support fastenings, the beam may become deformed, and then your trunk will be of irregular shape. For flat roofs of VAZ cars, installation is performed a little differently. There are no handles on the racks in the trunk mounts of this car; everything is clamped with hexagons. When installing these types of racks, it is necessary to measure not only the symmetry between the rack mounts, but also the length from the end of the windshield to the edge of the car trunk.

Why do you need a roof rack?

The Seven belongs to the class of small passenger cars, which are designed to transport passengers, as well as small-sized cargo in the luggage compartment. However, very often there is a need to transport various cargoes, the dimensions of which exceed the dimensions of the car trunk. In this case, the top roof rack of the VAZ 2107 comes to the rescue, expanding the ease of use of the car.

A roof rack is installed on the roof of the vehicle in order to be able to transport various cargo. This can be things, tools, equipment, as well as other oversized cargo: building materials, bicycles, boats, etc.

The main condition that applies to objects transported on the roof of a car is that they must be securely fixed. Carrying cargo on the roof without a roof rack is strictly prohibited, as this is due to the lack of reliable securing of the cargo, and therefore safety. In addition, items transported on the roof will negatively affect the paintwork of the body.

Types of roof racks for VAZ 2107

It must be said right away that a standard factory-made trunk can be placed on the roof of the seven, which has dimensions of 1300x1050x215 mm, and its load capacity does not exceed 50 kg. These sizes are standard, and such products are suitable for most VAZ car models. The car is not equipped with such devices from the factory, but they can be purchased separately. Moreover, they are offered in several versions.

The Zhiguli roof rack is not the only option that is suitable for the VAZ 2107. Based on the type of design, the devices under consideration can be divided into three main groups:

Open type products are also called universal, as they are suitable for almost any task. Structurally, the device is a square or rectangular base, consisting of transverse and longitudinal jumpers (metal frame). Round tubes or a square profile are used as these jumpers. The dimensions of such a VAZ 2107 roof rack may differ from the standard ones, and they are selected depending on the parameters of the cargo being transported. The Zhigulevsk product is a classic representative of open-type luggage racks.

Closed-type devices look like a box made of plastic. This product has some advantages compared to the previous version - it is reliable protection of the transported cargo from bad weather and improved aerodynamics (less wind resistance), and therefore fuel economy. Typically, such luggage racks are used to transport things. It consists of a base and a lid, and has a fairly large capacity. Such devices are installed on the roof of the car when the whole family makes long trips.

The devices, which consist of two roof rails with crossbars, are used for transporting large building materials, as well as bicycles, etc. This option is also called a simplified version of open-type products, which has one significant advantage - it does not spoil the appearance of the car. Installing a roof rack allows you to do a little tuning of the car.

Installation of all of the above devices is carried out using special brackets that engage with the car's gutters. When choosing the devices in question, you need to know that they are adjustable, which allows you to install them on the roof of any classic VAZ, including the VAZ 2107.

How to install a roof rack on a VAZ 2107

Installation of the roof rack on the VAZ 2107 is carried out on special sides, which are called storm drains. These storm drains are places provided by the factory to protect door openings from the flow of precipitation from the roof. Installation of trunk mounts must be carried out at an equal distance from the front and rear windows of the car. This allows the load to be distributed evenly on the upper part of the body.

The fastenings are placed in such a way that there are no obstacles to opening and closing the doors. On the sevens on the interior side there are auxiliary marks indicating the location of the pillars. It is in the locations of these racks that the trunk must be installed. Installation of the selected roof rack on the roof of a VAZ 2107 car is carried out in the following sequence:

The VAZ 2107 roof rack must not only be installed correctly, but also properly operated. The maximum load should not be more than 60 kg. Moreover, it is important to take into account not only the weight of the cargo being transported, but also its dimensions. Transporting long items in the form of boards from 2-3 meters leads to the creation of additional load. It is formed due to the air flow, which acts on the front of the boards, trying to push them off the trunk. At the same time, fastenings on drains experience the heaviest load. In addition, transported long items must be marked with a red flag on the back.

Vehicle interior

There is no design approach, no dry design of functional details. The goal of the manufacturers was to make a working car “without worrying” about comfort and appearance. The minimum number of required devices confirms this in practice.

The interior has fabric upholstery with faux leather headrests. Rear row - the sofa folds to expand the luggage space.

If we consider the equipment, we can highlight such tidy elements as a volt-ohm meter, an econometer, a battery charge, and a low oil pressure sensor. As well as the standard tachometer, speedometer, odometer, lamp unit and parking brake.

On the central panel you can find a seat belt sensor and heated rear window, which is very good for such an unequipped car. And as standard there is a clock, a brake warning lamp and a fuel level indicator.

There are also additional keys for turning on fog lights and switching operating modes of the stove. You have the opportunity to install the radio in an existing niche.

The “four” has a glove compartment with a lock, visors with pockets, a sound signal in the classic place, and a cigarette lighter. As well as steering column switches for turning on the wipers and turn signals.

Separately, it is worth noting the trunk, although the rear seats fold down, they do not do so completely, so it will still not be possible to transport a long load. For this kind of purpose, the 2104 has roof rails, but the weight of the cargo should be limited, because This model has worse roof rigidity than other body types. In general, it is worth remembering the low possible load, which should not exceed 450 kg, taking into account the weight of cargo and passengers, otherwise the chassis may become faulty.

All about model refueling fluids

Trunk volume on a VAZ 2114 in liters
As mentioned above, the VAZ 2107, like all models of the manufacturer, is equipped with a 39-liter gas tank. This volume is quite enough for long continuous trips. Of course, in recent years, due to a sharp increase in fuel prices, the tank volume has become enough for only 3-4 hours of driving on the highway.

Fuel

Initially, the “seven” was refueled exclusively with A-92 gasoline. However, some of the latest versions of the model implied the use of diesel fuel (VAZ 2107 - diesel). However, diesel modifications of the VAZ 2107 did not gain popularity in Russia due to the high cost of the car and increased fuel consumption.

Engine oil

Another filling fluid for the car is the oil in the power unit. AvtoVAZ engineers recommend that drivers fill the engine with lubricant that meets the minimum requirements of API SG/CD standards. This marking is usually indicated on containers with consumable liquid.

For VAZ 2107 engines, according to the SAE classification, the following oils are recommended:

1. Lukoil Lux - 5W40, 10W40, 15W40.
2. Lukoil Super - 5W30, 5W40, 10W40, 15W40.
3. Novoil-Sint - 5W30.
4. Omskoil Lux - 5W30, 5W40, 10W30, 10W40, 15W40, 20W40.
5. Norsi Extra - 5W30, 10W30, 5W40, 10W40, 15W40.
6. Esso Ultra - 10W40.
7. Esso Uniflo - 10W40, 15W40.
8. Shell Helix Super - 10W40.

Transmission oil

It is also necessary to maintain an optimal level of lubrication in the gearbox - transmission. For VAZ 2107 with 4 and 5-speed gearboxes, the same types of transmission oils are used.

It is important not to overdo it with pouring lubricant into the transmission: no more than 1.35 liters of oil can be poured into a four-speed gearbox, and 1.6 liters of oil into a five-speed gearbox

Coolant

The VAZ 2107 power unit needs high-quality cooling. Therefore, all versions of the “Seven” have a liquid cooling system. It is based on antifreeze. In the 1980s, the use of antifreeze was not practiced in the USSR, so engineers used only antifreeze to cool the engine.

In recent years, car enthusiasts have been pouring both antifreeze and antifreeze into the expansion tank without any consequences for the operation of the car. In some cases, during the summer months it is even possible to use ordinary water as a coolant, but the manufacturer does not recommend adding water.

How to properly transport cargo on the top trunk of a car

Motorists often use the roof of their personal vehicles to transport various large items. But not everyone thinks about how much cargo can be placed on top of a car. Meanwhile, by exceeding the recommended weight for a roof rack, the driver not only risks getting a fine for violating traffic rules and damaging his car, but also creates a danger on the road for the life and health of all road users.

How much weight can the roof rack support?

The carrying capacity of the machines is regulated by international standards. You can find it in your car’s passport; this information is indicated by the manufacturer. This is the mass of the car together with the people in it and equipped with cargo. For passenger vehicles, the recommended figure is up to 3.5 tons, for freight vehicles - over 3.5 tons.

The load capacity also depends on the body model:

On vehicles with a self-installed roof rack, the amount of cargo permitted to be carried on the roof depends on the type and characteristics of the structure. If it is equipped with small aerodynamic arcs, then it cannot be loaded with more than 50 kg. Aerodynamic wide fastenings of the Atlant type can withstand up to 150 kg.

Differences between cars of recent years of production

In cars of the last years of production (under the state car recycling program), in order to minimize the selling price, the maximum cost of elements was made relative to previously produced equipment. What we noticed: there are no ashtrays in the rear door trim; interior door handles are made of molded hard plastic (instead of rubberized material); There are no clothes hooks on the ceiling handrails; one weak and capricious sound signal “tablet” was used, instead of two “horns”. The 2010 car was not equipped with a pump. In addition, changes affected the appearance of the “seven”. Instead of a flat trunk lid, a lid with stamping from a VAZ-2105 appeared, and the plastic molding at the bottom of the body disappeared. They refused to paint the door pillars and frames black, and they abandoned the chrome-plated external door handles. Headlight washers and cleaners were no longer installed on cars of recent years of production.

Do I need to obey the speed limit?

Carrying luggage on top of the car imposes additional responsibility on the driver. The load on the roof rack affects the vehicle's maneuverability and handling. This is especially true for poorly secured and high loads. Don’t forget about windage (wind load) and the vehicle’s grip on the road.

Speed ​​limit when driving with a roof rack

Oncoming air flows create additional load on the fastenings that hold the cargo being transported and, accordingly, the trunk racks or roof rails. When driving on the highway with luggage on the roof, aerodynamics deteriorate due to increased windage. The higher and larger the load, the greater the wind resistance and windage, the more dangerous and unpredictable the car behaves, and the handling deteriorates.

Therefore, when driving with a load on the roof, it is recommended not to exceed the speed of 100 km/h, and when cornering, reduce it to 20 km/h.

Before loading items onto the roof, check the integrity of the trunk or roof rails. The same is done after delivery of the goods. On the road, fastening elements (belts, ties) are checked every 2 hours on normal road surfaces, and hourly on unpaved or poor asphalt surfaces.

Clearance

, perhaps one of the most popular car characteristics requested by car enthusiasts. People are interested in the level of ground clearance of cars immediately after they know the volume and power of the engine, consumption and dynamic characteristics. And this is correct, because in our Russian conditions there is high ground clearance

A car is sometimes more important than having rear windows or even air conditioning.
how to increase
ground clearance to make driving on domestic roads more comfortable.

Before you begin the operation of increasing the ground clearance of your car, Honor needs several aspects. First: accurately calculate the ground clearance of your car (since its value may differ from the passport value, especially if it is a foreign-made car). Second: decide what ride height you want to achieve. The point is that just increase

Ground clearance is still half the battle, but you need to take into account such parameters as departure/entry angles and the vehicle's longitudinal flotation angle. They are different for all cars, and even if you increase the ground clearance of your sedan, it will not become an SUV, it will not be better to climb hills - and all because of its geometric cross-country ability specified by the factory designers. And, finally, you will have to decide on the budget for this operation, since there are several ways to increase clearance, and the labor costs for their use are different.

Expensive option for increasing ground clearance

There is a more expensive way to increase

vehicle clearance - installation of air suspension. It involves the purchase of front and rear air bags, air pressure sensors, compressor, receiver and control panel.

This method is described in detail in our material on lowering the suspension. Its main advantage is the ability to change the car's ground clearance depending on the speed or quality of the road on which the car is moving, in a fairly wide range. That is, the car can receive both lowered (for high-speed driving) and increased (for off-road driving) ground clearance. However, there are also plenty of disadvantages: in addition to the high cost of installation, repair and maintenance, air suspension has a relatively short service life (this is especially true for residents of Russian regions, where the quality of the road surface leaves much to be desired).

As you can see, any of the chosen methods of increasing the ground clearance of a car has its pros and cons. Therefore, before deciding on such an operation, carefully calculate its budget and think about the consequences that may occur as a result of changing the standard clearance of your “iron horse”.

What are the dangers of being overweight?

Some drivers ignore the maximum carrying capacity of their vehicle and load it more than the norm established by the manufacturer, believing that nothing bad will happen and the car will withstand. On the one hand, this is true, since automakers include the possibility of temporary overload on the suspension and body.

Overload is dangerous not only from the point of view of damage to the roof rack and roof. It affects vehicle controllability. Driving with more than the maximum weight on the car roof rack on uneven asphalt, hitting bumps, small holes leads to a strong shift of the load to the side, back or forward. And the vehicle goes into a deep skid or flies into a ditch. There is a high probability of the car turning over on its side.

Creation of VAZ-2101

Concept and technical characteristics of the updated Nissan Beetle

Everyone knows that the VAZ 2101, or in common parlance “Kopeyka”, copied the external features and technical features from the Italian Fiat-124 model of 1966. Of course, all materials for production were used only Soviet ones.

The first stage of the plant was put into operation on March 24, 1971 and was designed to produce 220,000 cars per year. The following year, AvtoVAZ doubled its production capacity.

The VAZ-2101 was created as a low-power car (four-cylinder engine capacity was 1.2 liters; power - 62 hp at 600 rpm; maximum speed - 140 km/h) and with a relatively low price, so that everyone could afford to buy a legendary car.

Compared to the Italian prototype, the VAZ-2101 acquired rear drum brakes (instead of disc brakes), which were more durable and resistant to dirt. According to the characteristics of our roads, the ground clearance was also increased, the body and suspension were strengthened.
