Owner review of Lada (VAZ) Kalina 1.6 98hp AT 2021 Automatic transmission Lada Kalina owner reviews

Lada Kalina with Automatic gearbox

Not long ago, great news appeared for AVTOVAZ fans. The Lada Kalina, which is boring to everyone, has received a long-awaited improvement that simply cannot but rejoice - an automatic transmission.

Unfortunately, the automatic transmission is not used on all versions of Kalina, but only with the 1.6 liter engine. with a power of 98 hp. But as for the body, the choice will be a little wider. The automatic transmission can be installed on both Kalina hatchback and station wagon.

Features of Lada Kalina with automatic transmission

Before purchasing a Lada Kalina with an automatic transmission, be sure to familiarize yourself with its characteristic features. The first thing worth noting is ground clearance. Due to the different design of the gearbox, when installed, the automatic transmission will take up a little more space, thereby reducing the vehicle's ground clearance by 2 cm.

The second difference can rather be attributed to the disadvantages. On Lada Kalina cars with an automatic transmission, an aluminum pan is installed, while on a car with a manual transmission, a steel pan is installed. This is fraught with the fact that if the bottom hits any uneven road, the steel pallet will receive only a few scratches and, at most, a dent.

Aluminum oil pan

The aluminum pan, in turn, can crack even from a minor impact, and the engine will be left without protection. But, with a strong impact from the bottom, the engine can be damaged immediately, as if there was no protection on the car. Therefore, if you nevertheless decide to buy a Kalina with an automatic transmission, then it is strongly recommended to replace the pan. It may not be cheap, but it will seem like mere pennies compared to repairing the engine if it is damaged in an impact.

Machine characteristics

On the Lada Kalina car, a Japanese gearbox is installed. Let's compare it with a standard manual transmission and determine the advantages, or vice versa, the disadvantages.

Let's take data on fuel consumption in mixed driving mode. On the mechanics, Lada Kalina consumed about 7 liters per hundred, provided that it had an 8-valve engine with a power of 87 hp. With more engine power (106 hp), consumption decreased to 6.7 liters. While Kalina with an automatic transmission consumed 7.8 liters. If we take data for urban mode, then the consumption will reach 10 liters. per 100 km.

Acceleration with an automatic transmission also slowed down, although not significantly. For example, Lada Kalina with an 87 hp engine. accelerates to a hundred in 12.4 seconds, and with 106 hp – in 11.2. In turn, the automatic transmission can accelerate to 100 km/h in only 13.7 seconds. Of course, in urban conditions this will be a little noticeable, but on the highway there will be no difference.

Characteristics and acceleration time

You shouldn’t make hasty conclusions about slower acceleration with an automatic transmission. Do not forget that with a manual transmission, you will spend time squeezing the clutch and turning on the speed, but with an automatic transmission, this time is saved, so the starting acceleration will be approximately equal.

Owner reviews

Owners of Lada Kalina, which has an automatic transmission, often complain about a number of problems that most often appear on this model.

The first thing that worries you during operation is the gearbox. The shift itself occurs without problems, the lever firmly falls into place when you engage any of the positions, but in order to place the lever between gears, you need to sweat. For some reason, these positions are not very noticeable when shifting, and you can easily skip them, and the car will be in gear again.

The second thing I would like to note is the close location of the gas and brake pedals. When you press the gas, you can involuntarily engage the second pedal. Of course, not so much that the brake will work, but still, you will feel it.

Further, owners of Lada cars often have the following problem: when driving, the “Check Engine” light may come on. What’s remarkable is that the car behaves as if nothing had happened. Experts recommend solving the problem by removing the terminal for 5 minutes. This is explained by the fact that this inscription is a common system error. If removing the terminal does not help you, do not rush to get upset. There are times when the light bulb goes out on its own.

Results

Let's summarize. Lada Kalina with automatic transmission is a pretty good choice. Even if you compare it with other cars with a manual transmission, it will have some advantage.

For example, there are often road surfaces that have a large number of holes, potholes and uneven surfaces. On a manual transmission, this immediately causes discomfort, since you first need to reduce the speed and then increase it back, while working with your left foot on the clutch and your right hand on the shift lever. In turn, the automatic transmission allows you to perform this maneuver with just one movement of your foot, moving it from the gas pedal to the brake pedal, and vice versa.

The disadvantages of this box, which we listed earlier, are divided into significant and insignificant. For example, an aluminum engine sump. In general, this is a serious problem, but it can be solved quite simply. It is enough to simply replace the pallet with a steel one. But the problem with increased fuel consumption is no longer so easily solved, or rather, not solved at all. But it’s customary to pay for comfort, so if you choose a car with an automatic transmission, then get ready for additional expenses.

Review of VAZ 21922-42-010 (2013)

Well, dear friends, as I understand it, I will be the first to tell about the new miracle of the Russian automobile industry live. True, the first report was published on the Kalinovodov’s profile website in a draft version with questions and answers, and now a thoughtful and detailed answer for a wider audience, so to speak, first-hand, from personal experience, and not what journalists write in their articles, in my opinion look completely fed up with cool cars and think that it costs less than 2 lyams to be complete crap, or read PR paid for by companies, for example, the most, in my opinion, stupid comparison of a Duster with a Chevy Niva (there is also such a car in the family), comrades, these are two perfect different cars...

So, on the 9th of this month, I became the owner of a white viburnum 2 of the penultimate configuration, which is what is available in real life (I really wanted one with ESP, but none of the dealers in Moscow had it in real life, although there was some kind of enticement over the phone). I must say that the choice of a Russian car was conscious, and outwardly, I was also drawn to the car, because the family desperately needed 2 cars, so the question was something up to 450,000 rubles. I myself am currently the owner of a one-year-old Chevrolet Captiva, but if it weren’t for the warranty repairs, which lasted for 2 weeks and put me in such conditions that without 2 cars I would be dead, because... runs are daily from 80 to 190 km per day, perhaps there would not have been a report. It was at this moment that I realized what country we finally live in and that repairing the car in the field and the availability of spare parts and their price (of course, the quality of spare parts is a pressing issue, but what to do) became a priority for me. I’ll say right away that this is simply a description of my personal feelings and observations. And I don’t care whether the car is worth the money or not (although in my opinion it is). In reality, I could afford a car that is an order of magnitude higher or higher, but the total calculation of future costs for insurance, taxes, maintenance, etc., especially that there is more than one car, allowed me to come to what I mostly drive now.

Choice.

Let's start in order, the primary criterion when buying a car was the presence of an automatic transmission, ABS and at least front airbags (I’ll make a reservation right away that buying a used or Chinese car is not our method, so the question doesn’t even come up, the rest (even Renault) is closer to 530 don't come). As a result of searching, the grand version came to mind, especially since I first saw it at the Moscow exhibition, well, nothing, I was already ready to part with a certain amount of money, but having learned from the Internet that dealers had finally received Kalina 2, I decided to go to the salon for the viewing. In the salon there were a bunch of grand cars of different styles, and in real life one luxury viburnum of icy color (by the way, a very nice color). After a short test drive as a passenger on the Kalina 2 and the Grande, I was more and more inclined towards the Kalina, I really liked the size, the interior trim and various bells and whistles that were previously not typical of Russian cars (the only thing that really unpleasantly surprised was the persistent rubbing in of different variants of the Grande, such as the You have three children, there’s a lot of space, a big trunk, and you can leave even now). As a result, a call to a friend, an hour later my wife arrives with a stroller (chassis, and a car seat on it) and, with the manager’s permission, a test load of the chassis, in the end you can even stuff a few bags from the supermarket. It’s also a battle test of how to sit in different places in front and behind. Result - it’s decided, we’ll buy this one (see the description of the configuration on the AvtoVAZ website), because I already have one 7-seater barn, but I wanted a small hatch for every day.

Purchase.

So, according to the manager of the car, there is white, red and black. I choose white. This is where the most interesting thing begins - we need extra work, I say thank you, in principle there is no need, in response - well, you understand, cars are poorly painted, etc., we still did anticorrosive for everything in the world + installed protection, so be kind 13000r anyway. And then trade began, as a result, the price of the car was 440 TR, additional extras were 28 TR, they included full anti-corrosion protection, floor mats, an alarm with auto start (by the way, the alarm is really expensive and good), as well as parking sensors. Well, let’s formalize it, because... The purchase of a car was unplanned, so I took out a certain amount on credit, and, by the way, the preferential lending program works at 10 percent in my case. By the way, insurance together with compulsory motor insurance cost 26,000 rubles, which is good news, including additional equipment.

Living together

Well, first of all, at the moment the mileage is already under 2000 km, and I must admit that I, who last drove my own Lada in 2005, am very happy for our automobile industry. It’s not that the car is wow, but it gives more and more pleasure from driving, given my consumer attitude towards the car.

I really liked the appearance, the car has become much more interesting than its ancestor, in front there is a face ala Volkswagen Polo, in the back it is also interesting, although there are minor changes, the car actually looks smaller than it later turns out to be inside.

Well, actually, let's start with the driver's seat and interior, the seat and steering wheel adjustments are Spartan, although with my height of 185 cm and weight of 105 kg, I calmly settled down with a large margin above my head and calmly, without resting my knees, I sit behind myself in the back. The seat is a little soft, but you can see that due to the weight, I’m sitting tightly, I even feel good lumbar support, I don’t go anywhere in turns, the 5th point doesn’t get tired, the seat is long enough, I compared it the other day with the old Viburnum, the seat there is really stiffer and less comfortable. The maximum mileage at a time is 250 km, I really don’t get tired while driving. The steering wheel here, of course, is AvtoVAZ as usual, the steering wheel itself is thick in grip, the optimal size, but the remaining flash around the edge is unpleasant, I think I’ll cover it with leather, it looks especially stupid compared to the type of leather automatic transmission lever. I would say the panel is interesting, it looks a lot like a Renault (which is understandable), but all the instruments are in place, within reach, the plastic is really hard, but it looks like a soft one. A good on-board computer with many parameters. I still don’t understand why though. We saved on the engine temperature sensor, there is none at all. The rest of the buttons and on/off are all within sight, no need to reach out and look anywhere. The touch-screen radio is well located, although without an SD, but it reads MP3 from SD and USB (more on that a little later).. Convenient Renault-type air duct knobs. It’s also comfortable to sit next to the driver’s seat, the interior is wide enough, my wife and I don’t elbow each other, for some reason the only seat is higher than the driver’s seat. It's surprisingly comfortable in the back, the tilt of the back is optimal in my opinion, the ceiling doesn't droop, there's no desire to slide down, size 44 legs fit freely at the bottom, the margin in the knees is exactly 5-7 cm. The passenger capacity test passed with a bang, there were 2 child seats in the back and one passenger in the middle, size 52, everyone enjoyed the ride. The trunk is still, in my opinion, too small, although it is convenient to load and the shape of the trunk is the best, there are no empty spaces, but still, if you take the car as one in the family, a station wagon is better. By the way, the seats fold out into a straight floor, which is very convenient and doesn’t stick anywhere.

So, let's go. The engine is a standard AvtoVAZ 98 hp, but that’s not the main thing, let’s start with the automatic. The automatic is no longer new to me, there is something to compare it with, so the work of the tandem between our engine and the Japanese gearbox is more and more impressive. At first there were incomprehensible noises and howling, within reason, then after 500 km they passed and now it’s babbling. The automatic switches very softly, almost imperceptibly, it reacts to kick down with some hesitation, although we must pay tribute, apparently we are getting used to each other, hesitation Less and less. The unit itself, in a calm driving manner, likes to engage high gears for any reason, but you quickly find a common language with it. From a standstill, if you press the slipper, the car goes quickly, but somehow lazily, and then wakes up, traffic light races are not for it, but On the highway it's a different matter. In general, I noticed that the automatic transmission loves 4000 rpm and above, here you really get the feeling of a kick in the ass and very playful acceleration. What I didn’t like is that if you’re driving calmly at 70-80 km per hour and need to overtake sharply, then there’s a slight hitch when kicking down and until 3,4000 rpm the acceleration is sluggish, and this must be taken into account when overtaking, but if you go over 100, then it’s a slipper to the floor and an instant pick-up somewhere up to 135, then 4 and we calmly reach 160, but if you put pressure on the slipper during a quiet ride after 140 and want to accelerate sharply, then wait for a slow increase in speed, and so 3rd gear rules. By the way, the automatic machine really knows how to brake on its own, you just don’t have to put pressure on the slipper, and if you’re moving up to 70 km per hour, you can safely turn it on no higher than 2 and you get additional engine braking. At first I didn’t use overdrive because... In fact, the button is located in a stupid way and it’s not comme il faut to reach for it every time, but then I got used to it and if I need engine braking or fast driving, I turn it on. Overall, this is an automatic machine, and I really recommend a machine with this automatic machine. In short, there is no shortage of dynamics, the car really drives at its best, I actually accelerated to 190 on the speedometer once, but I realized that the maximum comfortable speed at which the car goes like a glove is 160, then it’s possible and the desires no longer coincide. In general, you can safely drive a car quickly and have fun, naturally making allowances for the status of the car.

At first the consumption was 13, now it’s 8.5, and this is with the climate always on. I noticed that the instantaneous consumption at 160 is 10-10.5 liters.

Steering wheel, suspension and tires. The steering is comfortable, the car clearly follows where you point it, does not scour the road, but at first the slight hollowness in the center was somewhat annoying, but everything was resolved by replacing the tires. When sharply entering a turn, which is usual for front-wheel drive, there is a small, barely noticeable drift of the rear, but it is immediately corrected with gas, but again on the original tires. I would say the suspension is realistic for our roads, there has never been a breakdown, it is moderately elastic, it allows you to drive quickly at 160 comfortably and there is no feeling of flying through air pockets and the car does not jump like a hare on bumps, it does not wobble in ruts, it allows you to pass the police without straining at a reasonable speed, somewhat reminiscent of my Chevrolet. The tires from the factory are really noisy, of course, but you can drive, but they were replaced with Michelin ones due to an incomprehensible to me shot of the rear wheel at 120, by the way, the car was great, it drove rooted to the spot on the road until a characteristic knock made it clear what had happened. Bottom line - The car has become quieter, softer and now makes turns without skidding the rear axle. The ground clearance is normal when I looked at the car on a lift, the bottom is flat, the silencer is removed, so in reality the lowest point is protected, the suspension is simple, there is nothing fancy. I checked it by driving on the intersection, they will allow you to maintain a decent speed when braking in the pits, the car practically does not sag, it was protected only once, the geometric cross-country ability due to small overhangs and a short wheelbase is excellent, of course I didn’t mess it in the mud, so I won’t say anything here.

Comfort. I can’t say that the car is quiet, but it doesn’t put any pressure on my ears, although I still did the noise and vibration insulation of the front doors, the noise has become less, but comparisons with the Chevy need to be improved, maybe I’ll go broke completely. The engine begins to put pressure on the ears only after 130 and then within acceptable limits, and if the Mouzon is on, it is not noticeable at all, but at a speed of 140 you can speak without straining the ligaments. The interior does not creak or rattle now, at first the driver's seat creaked, lubricant and caress They solved the problem, and the front doors were also muttering, but the noise did its job. I really liked the way the climate works (it really evaluates solar activity and the temperature outside and inside, but it doesn’t change the flow), I set the car to on on the feet and on the glass and only adjust the temperature (I don’t even touch all the other modes), the car really works in the heat it quickly cooled down and the fan operation after 5-7 minutes of driving is no longer audible and it is dry and comfortable, the people in the back are very comfortable, in the rain, for example, all the windows are dry and do not sweat. In short, time will tell how the stove will perform in winter, but the condo is 5 points. Time will tell how the heater and windshield heating will work.

Brakes. Here, of course, there are comments, at first the brake pedal was really tight, now it’s noticeably lighter, it brakes perfectly, it doesn’t lead anywhere, it’s predictable, but the creaking of the front pads during slow braking when crawling in a traffic jam is already annoying, as I understand it, the problem is typical and is being solved replacing the pads, I'll change them one of these days. I tried a couple of sharp braking, well, what can I say, no worse than the Kia Rio of the previous generation, the meaning of the brakes was the same.

Music. Well, here AvtoVAZ is practically great. The head has a good sensor, everything works, video, flash drives, phone (really works, even the bastard downloads the phone book to himself or just lets you dial a number on the panel, sound quality is 3+, the only minus is the music volume and conversation volume at the same level, after a conversation you get a sound shock), however, all the potential is built on the old Windows 6.0, which gives its own disadvantages and limitations for video and photos. The sound, even with the crap that is in the doors, is not bad, but somewhere in the middle of the volume the speakers begin to rattle along with door and few high ones, here we had to apply handles, replacing the speakers with 2-way Herts and Shumka, the sound became clearer and richer, a scene appeared, although when turning up the radio's power to 75 percent, even these speakers can't stand it, although it really hurts the ears.. Radio reception excellent even 100 km from Moscow. It’s a pity there is no navigation, although if there are no traffic jams, then it will be of little use.

Some other features and points. When purchasing, I immediately changed the brushes to frameless ones, not like they came from the factory g... I just love these. But the back g... really doesn’t clean well, I’ll look for frameless ones. The new brushes clean well and without squeaks, but the volume of the tank has let us down, as I understand it, there are 3 liters, no more, and there is no alarm. The nozzles were basically fine, although they initially blew water anywhere, adjustment solved the problem. I noticed an interesting feature: in the rain at a speed of 90-110, when it was light, the water quickly runs away from the glass, I didn’t even turn on the wipers for a long time. And a small moment that I don’t understand, when the wipers work in the rain, the relay clicks, what is this, guru, explain, is this normal or should I just change it to an adjustable one with a pause, if it suits? Window lifters - there were some jokes here, the fact that they don’t go all the way down made me very happy, although for me they are only an option, everything is paid for by the climate. I was also pleased, in quotation marks, with the door opening system, at first only the driver’s, and the rest only through it, okay, I’ll get used to it, but the main thing is that even with an additional signal, this is the only way it can be implemented.

I would rate the light at 4+, I drove at night 100-110, it was comfortable even without high beams, I was pleased with the daytime running lights, I drive with them and don’t worry about the near daylight, they shine very brightly. The car can really be seen from afar..

Yes, there is a significant drawback, at the moment for the wife, unfortunately, the passenger airbag is not open, you won’t be able to carry the baby in the cradle in front, and if it’s stupidly turned off. connector, will it work later or will it give a stupid error that will need to be reset, that’s the question.

One final important point: when the ignition is turned off, the power consumers, lights, sidelights, everything that is plugged into the cigarette lighter (by the way, only 1, which is terribly inconvenient), and the radio are not turned off, so keep this in mind and check everything before disembarking. Otherwise, dancing with tambourines is guaranteed.

So, to summarize, I liked the car, of course there are problems, but in principle they can be solved. Compared to the previous generation, according to familiar potassium growers, the difference is more than noticeable. The price is still somewhere around the machine’s capabilities. In general, in my opinion, this will be an ideal women’s machine for its price. Well, then life will show what and how

Well, lovers and opponents of our auto industry, ask, but I’ll just say right away in response to the comments, you’re like, what the f…. I took it, I won’t even answer, this is my personal business and I hate someone’s inflated self-conceit, people, we have to be realistic, because... There is life beyond the Moscow Ring Road too.

Replacing the valve body

Finally, the last reason for the occurrence of problems during the operation of an automatic transmission may be a malfunction of the valve body. The problem may arise due to contaminants that accumulate during the operation of the vehicle. And the repair will consist of cleaning the valve body with special means.

Thus, the automatic transmission on the Lada Kalina is quite an effective, but at the same time, expensive unit, which will not only increase the cost of operating the vehicle, but will also cause dissatisfaction among the owners due to frequent breakdowns during improper operation of the car.

Real fuel consumption Kalina 2 (hatchback and station wagon)

If we look at the technical characteristics of the new Kalina, we will see that “ Fuel consumption by driving cycle, l/100 km ” is indicated as follows:

1. Kalina 2 manual transmission hatchback spends 10.5/6.1/7.8 liters in the urban/suburban/combined cycle in the “standard” and “norm” configurations.
2. Kalina 2 station wagon manual transmission requires 10.4/5.9/7.6 liters in the urban/suburban/mixed cycle in the “standard” and “norm” configurations.

We decided to analyze the reviews of the owners, as a result of which a table of gasoline consumption was compiled, according to which we can say that the real gasoline consumption of the Lada Kalina 2 (1.6 liters, 87 hp manual transmission) is as follows:

• Consumption in the city ranges from 8l/100km to 10l/100km. The average is 8.6l/100km.
• Consumption on the highway ranges from 5.8 l/100 km to 8 l/100 km. The average is 6.5 l/100 km.
• The combined cycle ranges from 7l/100km to 8.5l/100km. The average is 7.5 l/100 km.

The fuel consumption of Kalina 2 with automatic transmission (luxury) is significantly higher, the declared gasoline consumption is 12.2/6.3/8.5 in the urban/suburban/combined cycle, in practice we received the following figures:

• Highway 6.5 - 7.5l/100km. The average is 7l/100km.
• City 10.3 - 13.2l/100km. The average is 12l/100km.

Why do different owners have such a wide range in numbers? Fuel consumption may vary due to a number of reasons:

• Seasonality . Everyone has noticed that in winter, gasoline consumption is much higher than in summer. This is due to slippery roads, tires, warm-up, etc. From observations, it was noted that warming up the new Kalina in winter increases fuel consumption by 2 liters.
• Gasoline quality . Gasoline consumption is affected not only by the octane number (by the way, AvtoVAZ recommends refueling Kalina 2 only with 95AI), but also by the quality of gasoline. From the calculations of the owners, it was concluded that the average consumption on 95 gasoline is less than on 92, and upon calculation it turned out that it is cheaper to drive 95AI.
• Traffic jams. If one lives in a small city and does not know what traffic jams are, and the other in a metropolis stands idle in them for hours, then the consumption of a Lada Kalina in city mode for these two car owners will be completely different. For reference: even a small traffic jam can increase gasoline consumption by 2 liters.
• Driving style. If the calm nature of driving keeps gasoline consumption figures within normal limits, then active driving with sharp braking and acceleration can increase consumption significantly!
• Air conditioner. When the air conditioner is turned on, Granta consumption increases by 1 liter.
• Malfunctions of Kalina 2 . And of course, the reason for high gas consumption may be problems in the car itself. In this case, you should make a diagnosis and fix the problem.

By the way, read about the consumption of the 1st generation Kalina. In the comments you can leave your data on gasoline consumption on the new Kalina (City/Highway/Mixed/Gasoline/Season/Driving Style):

Problems that may arise when using automatic transmission

First of all, it should be noted that every 80 thousand kilometers it is necessary to replace the oil that maintains the functionality of the engine and gearbox components.

It is also recommended to overhaul the robotic gearbox after the car has traveled approximately 250-300 thousand km.

If you treat the operation of the vehicle negligently, without regularly inspecting the vehicle’s components and timely replacement of fluids, parts or devices, this can lead to rapid failure of the automatic transmission. As a result of such an attitude, the clutches will quickly burn out and the valve body responsible for the operation of the box will fail. Thus, further work will become impossible.

How much gasoline does Lada Kalina consume - passport and real data

In November 2004, the first series of the Lada Kalina people's car came off the assembly line of the AvtoVAZ concern. According to some reports, the first samples of small-scale production appeared on the market back in 1998. When production was established, the car began to be equipped in three body types: a 5-door hatchback and a sedan, and later a station wagon. The manufacturer's data indicates that the fuel consumption of the Lada Kalina is at an average level, which is confirmed by numerous reviews from owners. Subsequently, both the body and the power unit of this car were modernized, and today the second series of LADA Kalina is being produced.

Some owner reviews

Oleg, Ryazan. I didn’t want to have to deal with the Chinese for spare parts, but I didn’t have the money for more. I decided that Russian is still better for Russian roads. I took a Lada station wagon with 1.4 liters. The car, of course, is not sporty, but due to its low weight it is quite nimble, and the trunk is large. The mileage is already more than 150 thousand. On the highway it confidently maintains consumption of up to 7 liters. In the city cycle it reaches 10, although I drive carefully and don’t accelerate at traffic lights.

Nikolay, Samara. I drive a company car, but my wife got a Kalina hatchback with a four-speed automatic transmission. The car is good for a domestic car: the interior is comfortable, the appearance is nice, the assembly is standard. But I wasn’t pleased with the consumption. In the city it is stable 11 liters. This is a lot for such a car, especially since he told his wife to only fill it with 95-octane gasoline. I'll chip.

Sergey, Moscow. About 8 years ago I bought a two-year-old used Kalina, the owner sold it cheap. The car plows like a horse, I fill it with 92 and semi-synthetic, fortunately, the 8-valve allows it. From time to time I drive with a full trunk. I noticed: fuel consumption on the highway is on average 6.5, in the city it does not rise above 9 liters. Friends bought a new one in 1916, and it ate more than mine, even though the engine was new.

What automatic transmissions are installed on Kalina?

On second-generation Lada Kalina cars, three types of gearboxes were installed from the factory (unlike Kalina-1, which had only one gearbox): a manual gearbox, an automatic gearbox and an AMT robotic manual transmission.

AMT was created on the basis of the manual transmission MKPP-2180 and bears the index AMT-2182. Unlike mechanics, control and selection of gears here is carried out not by the driver, but by the system in which the program is embedded. Although AMT is something completely new for the Russian auto industry, at the same time, leading automobile companies in Europe and Japan have long abandoned them in favor of newer preselective robots with two clutches.

The box contains three driving modes:

• movement in automatic mode, when the automation takes over the entire process of control and gear selection;
• driving in manual mode - in this case, the driver himself will change gears by moving the shift selector knob back and forth, but the clutch will be depressed by the robot;
• Reverse mode - back.

Hydraulic automatic

In addition to manual transmission and AMT, the Lada Kalina has a Jatco gearbox. This is a fairly old hydraulic automatic machine from the manufacturer Jatko. This box has the index JF414E. This automatic transmission contains all the classic modes that are found on 4-speed gearboxes:

There are also two modes in which the car will pick up speed only in second or first gear. The result is six operating modes. To move the selector, you must press the brake pedal and also hold the button on the selector itself.
