Lada Kalina owner reviews

Generation 1

With VAZ-21114 81 hp engine. With. 8 classes

Vladimir, St. Petersburg. It’s a comfortable car, I’m quite happy with it if we consider it as a first car. This is exactly my case. I recently passed my license and bought a used 2004 Kalina. This happened in 2016. For me, the main thing is that the car drives completely properly, without any jambs. Everything is short and to the point, the damage is minor, you can paste it on a quick fix. The 1.6 engine produces 80 horsepower and consumes 9 liters.
Igor, Rostov. Lada Kalina is my first car, I bought it in 2016. The 2005 version, I have been using it as a taxi driver for more than ten years. Mileage over 300 thousand km. Probably, with such mileage it won’t be possible to sell it. Unless it's scrapped. The condition is not very good, there is some rust in places. It can be restored, but it takes time and money. The car is running, it will do for a taxi. I always carry a set of tools in the trunk. The 1.6 engine consumes 9-10 liters.
Rostislav, Perm. I'm happy with the car, no matter what anyone says. A wonderful car for every day, I’m very happy with Kalina. It is comfortable, with a peppy 80-horsepower engine. I have the basic version, with a consumption of 9 liters of 92 gasoline.
Yaroslav, Buryatia. With such a car you can even iron the gardens - this is a car with a very energy-intensive suspension. You ride in it as if you are flying, the smoothness of the ride is beyond praise. Toyota Camry is resting. Gasoline consumption per hundred is 9-10 liters.
Konstantin, Lipetsk. The car was produced in 2004, my favorite swallow. I still drive it. I serve it myself. Mileage for at the moment 180 thousand km. Spare parts are cheap, some parts are suitable even from older models. Kalina is equipped with an 81-horsepower 1.6 engine, it accelerates with a wheeze, age is taking its toll. In 2013, a new Kalina was released, but I think these are two absolutely identical cars. My Kalina consumes 9 liters of gasoline per 100 km. I have already repainted the interior several times and treated it with anticorrosive. All these minor ailments are of course annoying, no doubt about it. But in this situation, inexpensive service and adaptability to Russia are pleasing.
Ekaterina, Kaliningrad. I liked the car, for Russian roads what you need. The car behaves perfectly on our bumps, Kalina’s suspension seems to be impenetrable. And the reliability is at the level, at least for 90 thousand mileage the servicemen did not encounter a single breakdown that they could not cope with). A cheap car to maintain, excellent transport for moving from point A to point B. Worthy replacement my former classic. Consumption of 9 liters of 92-gasoline per 100 km.
Ruslan, Lipetsk. I liked the car, with a 1.6 engine it consumes 9-10 liters. I've been driving for a long time, but this is my first car. Kalina is a typical representative domestic auto industry– still one that has not recovered after perestroika in the 1990s. Everything in the car was done poorly, the screws are visible, the assembly is disgusting. But on the other hand, you can’t find a car for that kind of money, and besides, some Chinese will be even worse. I have a version with 80 horsepower, it consumes 8-10 liters/100 km.
Nikolay, Tomsk. My Lada Kalina has covered 90 thousand miles. There are breakdowns, what would we do without them. I serve only in the service department, let them sort it out themselves, and I’ll go about my business. The car is quite comfortable, not bad in terms of smoothness and adaptability to the Russian climate. Consumption 8-9 l.
Alexey, Irkutsk. Lada Kalina was given to me for my birthday. The car is in maintained condition, there are almost no technical breakdowns with it. Well, what if something happens, I have a brother who is a jack of all trades. The 1.6 engine consumes 10 liters.
David, Dnepropetrovsk. Comfortable and reliable car. I’ve already put a lot of collective farm spare parts on Kalina, many of the parts are not original, but nothing. Mileage under the steward, the car is on the move. Gasoline engine 1.6 consumes 10 liters.

With VAZ-11194 89 hp engine. With. 16 valves

Vitek, Nikolaev. The car was produced in 2006, with a manual transmission and a 1.6-liter engine. At first I thought about taking Logan, but I didn’t like its design. Even Kalina looks much more modern than this angular cow. Kalina and I are still together, but I’ll probably soon exchange it for a Lada Vesta, I’ve wanted it for a long time, my soul is really boiling. And I’ll give Kalina to a friend, it’s very good car for your money. In the city the car consumes 10 liters.
Daria, St. Petersburg. Not a bad car, worth the money. Reliability is mediocre, but maintenance is inexpensive, so you can be patient. In the city I try to keep it to 8-9 l/100 km.
Georgy, Arkhangelsk. I'm happy with the car, the car justifies the investment in it. But the main advantage of Kalina is its 90-horsepower engine, capable of driving like a 120-horsepower one. In general, Kalinka's dynamics are decent. The engine consumes 9 liters per 100 km.
Dmitry, Irkutsk. The car is fire, very fast and economical. At least it doesn’t consume more than 10 liters. The 1.6-liter engine is peppy and pulls out in any gear. You can go by light off-road, the wheels will not dig in - I checked it personally. Comfortable interior, minimal set of options, just for me. Nothing extra. All controls work properly, everything is at hand. For 110 thousand km the car is in decent condition and can be sold.
Vasily, Tatiana. I was pleased with the car, it produces an acceptable 89 horsepower, but it runs on all 120 horses or even more. The potential of the engine is simply a sight for sore eyes. In addition, the car is comfortable and adapted for poor road surfaces. Gasoline consumption per 100 km is about 9-10 liters per hundred.
Alexander, Tver. A worthy option for a first car. A universal car for every day, I don’t mind it at all. I've already broken two of these and haven't lost them at all. I bought a used one again, and the first generation. Naturally, I don’t need a new one. If it’s new, then only a foreign car like a Toyota Corolla. And Kalina is such a workhorse, what can you take from her. Filters and oil changes, and that’s it, you can pile up at traffic lights. Consumption of 10 liters of gasoline per 100 km.
Inna, Ekaterinoslavl. A universal machine, it suits me. And my husband likes it too. A compact car, and at the same time very spacious inside. Spacious trunk, good reliability and an impenetrable suspension. We service Kalina from the officials, although the warranty has long expired.
Igor, Moscow region. We bought a Lada Kalina in 2005 and went to the dealership with our family. I believe that we made a conscious choice. Version with a 1.6 engine with 90 horsepower. Classic mechanics, soft suspension, just right for our roads. The car served me faithfully. Over the course of ten years, I learned all its pros and cons, and in the end I serviced it myself in the garage. Two years ago I planned to sell it, but my grown son stopped me - after all, he needed a bucket of bolts. Now my descendant is also suffering with Kalina, at least the car is still running, its mileage is 220 thousand km at the moment. All spare parts are original and cheap.
Vakhtang, Ryazan. A car for all occasions, rides comfortably and regularly performs the tasks I set. At least in the city there are no problems with breakdowns. I rarely go to the track, and I take a set of pelvic guides with me. A 1.6-liter petrol engine consumes 10 liters with a manual transmission.
Daniel, Peter. A reliable car, and I advise you not to listen to AvtoVAZ’s opponents - they know how to lie. There are breakdowns, like in any car. But only within the framework of the maintenance regulations - everything is decided not in the middle of the road, but at the service station. Gasoline consumption per 100 km is 9-10 liters.

With VAZ 21126 98 hp engine. With. 16 valves

Boris, Nizhny Novgorod region. Lada Kalina produced in 2007, with mileage of 99 thousand. The car is strong, despite the cheapness. The main thing is to care for it properly. A very peppy car, it pulls out in any rev range. A 98-horsepower engine needs 9-10 liters.
Yuri, Chelyabinsk. Lada Kalina handles well, it’s a pity that my version does not have ABS, otherwise everything is fine. The interior has a pleasant design by the standards of those years, a powerful and efficient stove, a soft suspension. The 1.6 engine consumes 9 liters in the urban cycle.
Tatyana, Ufa. I'm happy with my Kalina, my father gave it to me. New, with a 1.6-liter engine and manual transmission. For good services, for a red diploma. The car is comfortable, the inside is cozy and bright, visibility is good. Consumption is 9-10 liters/100 km.
Alexander, Novosibirsk. The car was produced in 2008, first generation. My car will soon be 10 years old, and it’s still running. I go and don't complain. Overall, I'm happy with the car, despite the reliability problems. You can service it yourself. In this situation, cheap spare parts are a good thing, as you don’t have to wait for months. As a last resort, you can pick up a repair at a disassembly site - and there it’s generally worth pennies. I have a version with a powerful 98-horsepower engine, 16-valve. It’s a reliable, time-tested motor, and there are no complaints about it. Gasoline consumption per 100 km is 10-11 liters.
Oleg, North Ossetia. I'm happy with the car, Lada Kalina is my first car. Soon the odometer will show 200 thousand km, but the car won’t give up. Reliable domestic technology, time-tested parts. If anything, I can replace some spare part, and Kalina will be filled with new power again, and she will make me happy again. This can go on ad infinitum, it's almost soviet car, and then the machines did what they say for centuries. I have a 1.6-liter version with a consumption of 10 liters per hundred.
Alexey, Ekaterinburg. I bought a Lada Kalina sedan, it was in 2006. Mechanic's box, front wheel drive, 98-horsepower engine. Consumes 95 gasoline, fuel consumption is 10 liters per hundred. This is an average figure, I still have a gas equipment, thanks to which operating costs go only to the service station.
Nikita, Smolensk. The car is from 2007, I use Kalina in a taxi. I repainted it yellow, everything is as it should be. I took the top version with a 98-horsepower engine. There is air conditioning, a radio and electric windows. Everything works, there are no serious gaps. Consumption 9 liters.
Ekaterina, Lipetsk. Comfortable car, you don’t get tired in it even 15 hours a day - that’s about how long I work as a taxi driver. Kalina – cheerful and economical car with a consumption of 9-10 l/100 km.
Vasily, Sverdlovsk. My car is from my grandfather, produced in 2004. He didn’t want to make capital, and planned to sell it, so I, as they say, picked it up. I restored it and am still driving it, so far everything is fine. Consumption 10 liters.
Nikolay, Kyiv. Lada Kalina has been in my possession for eight years, this standing car, which will suit any Russian person, or simply an undemanding buyer. It is clear that the car was created for Russian needs, for our climate and roads. The service is simply amazing, no problems with that. A car with a 1.6-liter engine consumes 10 liters/100 km.

Generation 2

With VAZ-21186 87 hp engine. With. 8 valves

Georgy, Lipetsk. With such a car you can iron roads of any quality; Kalina’s suspension is ahead of many competitors in terms of energy intensity, including the same Renault Logan. The car has many advantages, and firstly, of course, it has extensive service. Spare parts are available on every corner and are relatively inexpensive. I have version 1.6, it consumes a maximum of 10 liters.
Alexander, Nizhny Novgorod. There aren't enough stars in the sky, but I'm happy with the purchase, for such and such money. Gave myself a gift for New Year, the order arrived for Christmas - February 7, 2017. The car is satisfactory, the 1.6 engine consumes 8-9 liters.
Julia, Smolensk. Comfortable and reliable car, I service it at the service station. With a 1.6 engine and manual transmission, it consumes no more than 9-10 liters.
Mikhail, Odessa. The car was produced in 2013, the mileage is currently 80 thousand. Nothing serious happened during this time, I just got to know the car better. Reliable and comfortable, I only change the oil and filters. The 87-horsepower engine is enough, it consumes no more than 10 liters per hundred
Boris, Kirovograd. I liked the Lada Kalina, I’m really looking forward to the next generation. Or, as a last resort, I’ll buy a Lada Vesta. Kalina has driven 98 thousand, it's time to change it before it's too late. It's a good car, I would have driven further if it weren't for the mileage. The 1.6-liter engine consumes 10 liters.
Konstantin, Moscow. The car is a 2013 model, I am its first owner. I know the car inside and out, I already service it myself. Comfortable and reliable car, and it’s worth the money, believe me. At least the handy guys won’t ask questions and shouldn’t be indignant. Kalina with a 1.6 engine producing 87 horsepower is quite dynamic in the city, gears shift as expected. For so many years I have never changed the transmission and filled it with oil in a timely manner. The car consumes 9 liters per 100 km.
Sergey, Vorkuta. Lada Kalina is my first car. With a 1.6 engine, 87 horsepower consumes 8-9 liters, which is generally not bad. And in terms of efficiency, and in reliability, and in comfort. In terms of adaptability to our conditions, it’s unlikely that anyone will have questions about Kalina. Well, except that he doesn’t know how to drive off-road, but everything is fine.
Ekaterina, Novosibirsk. I'm happy with the car, I bought it in 2015. Now the mileage is 70 thousand km, and It's time to tell you something about Kalina. At the 68th thousand I changed the clutch assembly, then the gearbox began to act up. In general, there are enough problems. The only plus is relatively inexpensive spare parts, and I’m talking about the most important components - clutch, gearbox, etc. And that’s the only reason there are minimal complaints about the car. Well, they’ll patch it up and you can go again! Gasoline consumption per hundred is an average of 8-9 liters.
David, Vsevolozhsk. The car was produced in 2016, a wonderful car for every day. At first I thought about taking the Kalina Cross version, but then I came to the conclusion that in terms of cross-country ability, such a car is no better than a regular Kalina. In the end, I saved on the purchase and took the 1.6-liter version with a consumption of 9 liters. So far I have no regrets, there are minimal breakdowns.
Oleg, Belgorod. My car is equipped with an 87-horsepower engine with manual transmission, the engine consumes 9 liters of 95 gasoline. So far everything is fine, I'm not complaining. There are small mistakes, but they don't count.
Tatyana, Dnepropetrovsk. I bought Kalina in 2013, with a manual transmission and an 87-horsepower 1.6-liter engine. Quite decent dynamics for such an engine, I didn’t expect it. In addition, fuel consumption is fine - I get no more than 8 liters in the city. I mostly go to high speed, quiet and calm.
Stanislav, Petrozavodsk. A decent car, with a modern design and good equipment. There is a full electrical package, advanced equipment, a touch screen and various security systems. In terms of equipment, Kalina is in no way inferior to its competitors, and in some ways it is superior. The 1.6 engine consumes 9 liters.

With VAZ-21126 98 hp engine. With. 16 valves

Konstantin, Smolensk. You will be surprised, but Kalina became my first Russian car. Before it there was a Volga 24, I just adored large executive cars since childhood. But as they say, you won't understand until you try. It was only later that I realized what it was. And switched to small cars. That's how I took a closer look at Kalina. I have the top version with a 1.6 engine with 96 horsepower. Gasoline consumption for a 16-valve engine is 10 l/100 km.
Nikolay, Donetsk. I liked the car, it’s versatile and makes me happy comfortable ride along our broken roads. I have a 1.6 liter version, 2013 model year, consumes 10 liters.
Mikhail, Novosibirsk. The car suits me, there is nothing superfluous in Kalina. Everything is clear and to the point. The interior ergonomics are good, and the front panel looks much better than its predecessor. The 1.6-liter engine is not enough stars from the sky, but it is very economical. For example, in the city you can achieve 8-9 liters per hundred.
Karina, Sochi. I'm happy with the car, I have the hatchback version with basic equipment. There are all the necessary options, and the 1.6-liter engine produces 98 horsepower and consumes from 9 to 11 liters.
Lesya, Zaporozhye. A car for all occasions, I'm quite happy with it. On Russian quality I don’t have much hope, so I try to serve in a timely manner, and only official dealers. My Kalina is equipped with a 1.6-liter engine with 100 horsepower. The 16-valve engine is peppy and at the same time economical; in the city it consumes 8-10 liters of 95-grade gasoline. Not bad. I praise the car for its comfortable interior, good handling and equipment.
Oleg, Stavropol region. A decent car for the money, there’s nothing to add here. There are all modern options, including airbags, touchscreen multimedia, power accessories and much more. I liked it, and the 1.6-liter engine is enough for the eyes. By the way, it consumes 9 liters.
Valentin, Ryazan. I liked the car, but the spare parts became more expensive compared to the first generation Kalina. I had this car. In general, both cars do not give the impression of being completely different cars. But still, the new Kalina looks more advantageous - both outside and inside. This is worth recognizing. In addition, I praise the car for its set of modern options. The old Kalina never dreamed of a touch screen. My 1.6-liter Lada Kalina is equipped with a manual transmission and consumes 9 liters per hundred.
Dmitry, St. Petersburg. I am completely satisfied with the car, dynamic and comfortable. Sometimes it seems that there is at least 120 hp under the hood. s., but in reality there is not even 100 strength there. In general, Kalina gets respect for its dynamics. In the city it consumes 9-10 liters maximum.
Semyon, Moscow region. Lada Kalina pleasantly impressed me from the first day of the trip. I don't get tired of the car at all. Its main advantage is that it looks and drives exactly as it really is, and does not try to stand out or anything like that. The 1.6 engine is coupled with mechanics and consumes 9-11 liters.
Larisa, Taganrog. I liked the car, for 70 thousand mileage there were practically no breakdowns. Of course, you need to be able to do something yourself; you won’t have to go to the service center because of a minor breakdown. I have my own garage, tools, everything. So there are no problems, patch it up and you can move on. And if it’s something serious, go straight to the official, and there’s no need to be a hero. The car is completely in good condition, consumes an average of 9 liters with a 1.6 engine and manual transmission.

With VAZ-21127 106 hp engine. With. 16 valves

Irina, Cheboksary. I like the car, after four years of operation I have not found any serious shortcomings. I don’t plan to sell, Kalina has not yet exhausted its potential. With a 1.6 engine it consumes 10 liters per hundred kilometers, and at the same time complies with Euro-5 standards.
Nikita, Ulyanovsk. Lada Kalina is a people's car, a kind of recognized all-Russian car, why not buy it. I drove 50 thousand km and sold it - a bucket of bolts, and that says it all. Kalina has a lot of small ailments, and they cause even more hassle than major breakdowns. The 1.6 engine consumes 9-11 liters.
Natasha, Tolyatti. My Kalina has driven 78 thousand km, the car is three years old. Reliable and comfortable car, with a 1.6-liter engine. 95 gasoline consumes from 8 to 10 liters per hundred.
Yuri, Novosibirsk. A very good car, I have never regretted my choice in favor of this particular one Lada configuration Kalina. I have a version with a 1.6 engine, boosted to 106 horsepower. This is the most powerful version of the 1.6-liter engine for this modification. Acceleration to hundreds takes 10-11 seconds. In general, with such an engine and manual transmission you can do wonders at traffic lights. If we could sharpen the handling a little more, this Kalina would not be worth the price. But the handling and suspension are tuned to quiet ride, so you have to balance it somehow. Consumption 10-11 l.
Yaroslav, Yekaterinburg. The car is ideal for every day, and there is also plenty of power. It seems that Kalina is riding on all 150 horses. The car is capable of overtaking any truck or road train; Kalina has an abundance of traction, and no diesel engine is needed. The suspension is very dense, but gently handles all unevenness. The 1.6-liter engine consumes 10 l/100 km.
Daniil, Penza. I liked the car, I think it has more advantages than disadvantages. At least I’m speaking for the 1.6-liter version with a capacity of 106 horsepower - this is not a Renault Logan. Kalina accelerates quickly and brakes effectively, and the handling is reliable. The engine in the city consumes 10 liters.
Sergey, Krasnodar region. Lada Kalina is a universal car, suitable for all types of roads. You can even take this car on a long journey, preferably within Russia. There may be problems with spare parts abroad. My Kalina consumes 11 liters/100 km. Under the hood is a 1.6 engine with 106 horsepower.
Yaroslav, Belgorod. A wonderful car, I fully support all those who unsubscribed. A reliable and comfortable car, just what I needed. But in the city I manage to fit in 8-9 liters.
Katya, Peter. The car fulfills all my needs. I use Kalina for work, for entertainment, trips around the city, shopping, etc. I travel very often, and have never had any breakdowns on the road. I have a 106-horsepower with manual transmission, average consumption 10 l.
Vitaly, Zhitomir. Lada Kalina was once popular in Ukraine. Now these cars have disappeared in our country. I bought it back in 2013, before all this carousel. I'm still going. They poke a finger, so be it. The car is powerful, comfortable and reliable. The 1.6 engine consumes 9-10 liters.
Vladimir, Irkutsk. Lada Kalina is based on great potential according to the energy intensity of the suspension. Chassis reliable and durable, and the car itself works smoothly and consumes 9 liters per 100 km.
Pavel, Tver region. The car is supported, produced in 2013. The previous owner assures that he became one of its first buyers - he allegedly bought it on pre-order. However, that's not the point. The fact is that I received Kalina in excellent condition. Like new, there is even additional sound insulation. I'm happy. In the city, the car consumes 10-11 liters, with a 1.6 engine and manual transmission.

Statistics show that, compared to cars of the same class, the Lada-Kalina does not increase fuel consumption. Owner reviews confirm that average consumption is up to 8 liters per 100 km in the city and within 6 liters on the highway. The designers and assemblers did not try in vain. However, there is no limit to perfection. When there is a desire to reduce costs at the gas station in order to reduce gasoline consumption, there is a motivation to search for new ideas.

Features of fuel consumption on Kalina

The engine is the main consumer of fuel. "Lada-Kalina" is available with carburetor engine models:

VAZ-21114 - 8-valve with a volume of 1.6 liters (Euro-3 standard, 81.6 hp);
VAZ 11194 - 1.4 l and 16 valves (Euro-3 standard, standard with luxury elements, 89 hp);
VAZ 21126, the same 16 valves for a volume of 1.6 liters (“Euro-3, luxury”, 106 hp with gearbox and 98 hp with automatic transmission).

Each engine has its own advantages and disadvantages and fuel consumption characteristics. But Lada manufacturers do not stand still. Competition on automotive market tough, the mood of buyers is changeable. Fuel consumption on the Kalina should remain competitive advantage until it comes off the assembly line and is sold in showrooms. What is confirmed by the replenishment model range in 2013, when Kalina-2 was released. The search for the ideal continues.

As is easy to see from the above characteristics of VAZ engines, power directly depends on the volume and the number of valves. More volume means more fuel burns in the cylinders and releases more energy. We switched from 8 valves to 16, improved combustion and increased efficiency.

A seemingly reasonable idea arises to purchase a Lada-Kalina engine with a large number of valves, but with a smaller displacement. There will be some benefit, but fuel consumption depends on many other factors that will have to be taken into account when driving and maintaining the car.

A small engine with 8 valves will be good in its place. Cars are used in different conditions. There is no single rule for all occasions.

The notorious human factor

Increased fuel consumption, which differs from that stated in the technical documentation or does not correspond to reviews of other owners, should alert you. "Lada-Kalina" is a massive people's car, created in Russia under Russian consumer. Gasoline consumption suddenly increased, and computer diagnostics shows that all parameters are normal, which means that excessive consumption is associated with human factor, with the characteristics of a driver sitting behind the wheel of a car.

However, no matter what factor you take, even the same potholes on the roads, the influence of a person on the performance of a car is always visible.

Usually they check how much a car “eats” per 100 km of road. Two people in two identical cars drove through this area and burned it different quantities fuel. This is a known fact that can be determined by:

a driving style, aggressive or sporty, increases consumption, while a calm one decreases it;
speed reduces time, but you will have to fork out money at the gas station;
when using automatic transmission the consumption is higher, this can be seen even from the technical passport, but the convenience and comfort are worth it;
load (passengers “on board”, suitcases in the trunk), the car is heavier, engine consumption increases;
wheel balancing, tire pressure, tire condition: as soon as you “change” to studded shoes, you immediately notice that the gas tank empties faster;
high fuel consumption as a result of low-quality gasoline (remember the gas station after which the consumption jumped, and do not refuel there again);
weather conditions, especially headwinds, and the condition of the road surface.

And there are many other technical reasons that the service will tell you: the condition of the spark plugs, filters, oil level and quality, unregulated automation, dead battery - the list goes on for a long time. With driving experience it is replenished, and the driver becomes more prudent.

On the new model with a breeze

Since 2013, Kalina-2 has been confidently conquering its market segment not only in Russia, but also in other countries. Even in Germany there are sales. And this is not surprising: hatchback, station wagon, sedan, three body styles - there is plenty to choose from. In addition, excellent fuel consumption parameters. Let's discard the information from the manufacturers; they are interested parties. Let's see what people write on club forums, and there are thousands of users:

hatchback with manual transmission, l/100 km: 10.5 in the city/6.1 on the highway/7.8 combined cycle;
station wagon with manual transmission - 10.4/5.9/7.6;
sedan with automatic transmission - 12.2/6.3/8.5.

Excellent performance. These are the average results of surveys and forum voting. For each user, a certain indicator may be higher or lower due to technical reasons and the influence of human factors.

However, there is only one conclusion: Kalina-2 is a good car both for the city and for long trips, when planning which you can safely predict “a full tank for 800 km.”

Factory producing vehicles, definitely among technical characteristics fuel consumption also indicates it. Do these indicators always coincide with real consumption gasoline? Let's look at this question using an example passenger car Lada Kalina.

Factory standard fuel consumption indicators for Lada Kalina

There are four main models of the Lada Kalina passenger car:

sedan - has a closed body, with 2-3 rows of seats for the driver and passengers, the trunk is separated from the car interior, there is no lifting door in the rear wall;
station wagon - has a closed cargo-passenger body, one of the sedan variants, which has an enlarged luggage compartment, is equipped with a lifting door in the rear wall;
hatchback - has a body with 1-2 rows of driver and passenger seats, with a shortened rear overhang (hence the name - “hatchback” means “short”) and luggage compartment smaller, equipped with a lifting door in the rear wall;
sport - represents sports version, which is equipped with a number of special parts - a bumper, a nozzle exhaust pipe, sports pedal pads, alloy wheels, sports suspension "SAAZ Sport", front and rear disc brakes, original reinforced gearbox.

As you can see, the main difference between each model is its body type. Gasoline consumption (unleaded AI-95) is calculated in liters over a driving cycle, which is 100 kilometers.

This takes into account following parameters the vehicle itself:

Engine size (Lada Kalina comes in two types - 1.4 l and 1.6 l).
Number of valves (for Lada Kalina - 8 and 16).

Experts have prepared an information table that shows the factory fuel consumption indicators for each model of the Lada Kalina passenger car, taking into account the mandatory parameters.

Real fuel consumption of Lada Kalina (according to reviews from car owners)

Many car owners of the Lada Kalina passenger car complain that in reality, gasoline consumption indicators differ from those specified by the manufacturer. For comparison, let’s look at another information table prepared by specialists taking into account feedback from Lada Kalina car owners.

When comparing the two information tables, it is clear that the real figures are indeed higher than the stated factory fuel consumption standards for the Lada Kalina. What are the reasons for this discrepancy between the figures?

The main reasons for the difference between the gas consumption figures for the Lada Kalina passenger car - real and factory ones

Reasons for non-compliance real indicators Gasoline consumption of the Lada Kalina with factory standards is several. Experienced car enthusiasts identify typical ones among them:

In addition to the reasons listed, fuel consumption can be affected by various breakdowns of the vehicle itself:

incorrect readings electronic system engine control due to sensor errors - temperature, mass flow air, oxygen, throttle position;
abnormal pressure in the fuel system;
internal combustion engine injector malfunction;
failure of the catalyst;
dirty air filter.

To install them, the car owner needs to diagnose the Lada Kalina passenger car. After diagnosing and identifying the causes of malfunctions, the vehicle is repaired.

The fuel consumption of Lada Kalina is different for each engine and generation. So, the 1.4 engine is more economical than the 1.6, but there is a loss of power. Fuel consumption directly depends on the technical condition of the car.

Fuel consumption Lada Kalina for different generations amounts to different amounts.

Engine capacity 1.6

The onboard shows an average consumption of 8.5 liters

So, for a sedan with a volume of 1.6 liters, this figure on the highway will be 5.9 l/100 km. But in the city it’s already worse – 8.14 liters. Mixed cycle, this results in 7 liters for every 100 km.

Engine capacity 1.4

The 1.4 engine boasts the lowest consumption in the Kalin line

As for volume 1.4, the indicators are slightly different. Consumption in the city is 7.38 liters, but on the highway - 5.36 liters. Thus, the average will be 6.4 liters.

Second generation

For the second generation, factory standards differ from real indicators, and they have increased compared to the first. The average city consumption is 11.4 liters, but on the highway it is almost 9 liters. Thus, it turns out that the average consumption will be almost 10 liters, which is significantly more than indicated in the service documents.

What determines average fuel consumption?

Fuel consumption depends on the technical condition of the car. The worse the condition, the. Let's look at the main indicators that affect how much a car “eats”:

All these factors are directly related to fuel consumption on Kalina.

How to reduce consumption

It is more than possible to reduce fuel consumption by car. Let's look at how this can be done:

Chip tuning. The most common way to reduce fuel consumption on a car. An ECU chip for fuel economy plus software will help the owner save up to 20% on fuel.
High quality gasoline and timely maintenance will help keep consumption at the factory level or reduce it slightly. !
Installation of aerodynamic body kits , will also help reduce fuel consumption.

Conclusions

As you can see, fuel consumption on the first generation Kalina is quite low, unlike the second. It is realistic and possible to reduce the already low consumption. Firstly, it is necessary to monitor the technical condition of the car and fill it with high-quality fuel, and secondly, various “gadgets” will help achieve even greater savings.

Real reviews from owners about fuel consumption on the Lada Kalina:

Manual transmission, 1.4 l engine

In the summer, he eats 8 liters, but that’s in the city. The route requires a fuel consumption of 6 liters.

Glad new car. Fuel consumption is just over 5 liters per 100 km. But I note that I observed these indicators on the on-board computer. In reality, gasoline consumption is 5.5 liters.

When I push 110 km/h, the computer shows 5.6 liters. In urban areas, the figures fluctuate around 7 - 9 liters per 100 km, depending on how it depends.

Fuel consumption for Lada Kalina with engine capacity 1.4

I constantly fill up with ninety-second. In the city, consumption is 9 liters. at a speed of 90 - 0. If you move along the highway, it sharply decreases to 5.8. I note that there is a great way to reduce fuel consumption to 3.6 liters per 100 km - highway and 60 km/h speed. I have never regretted choosing a model with the 1.4 engine.

My family and I went on a summer trip to Altai, which is just over 1000 km. Fuel consumption was 5.6 liters. I spent only 56 liters. This consumption gasoline is fair for the highway. In the city, fuel consumption reaches 9 liters in the cold season.

I went on a summer trip with my girlfriend. Gasoline consumption per 100 km was 5.6 liters. We passed countless villages and small towns, as well as two borders. As a result, the journey was 880 km. In terms of fuel consumption, the car pleases endlessly.

I get up to 6 liters on the highway. Impressed.

5.5 per 100 km on a free highway at night. Fuel consumption is minimal.

Our people know how to make cars. I get only 6 liters on the highway if I drive 100 km/h. I live in the city, so I also know the figures for gasoline consumption within the metropolis - up to 9 liters in winter.

Manual transmission, 1.6 l engine.

I was very pleased with the gasoline consumption - 6.5 liters on 95 gasoline. But the tank volume is designed for only 850 km of travel, which is somewhat disappointing given the engine capacity of 1.6 liters.

Highway - up to 8.2 liters of fuel consumption. City – up to 9 liters per 100 km. A car with a 1.6 engine capacity is simply ideal!

On a car loaded to the limit, gasoline consumption is just under 5 liters per hundred kilometers. In the city, the consumption rate is 6 liters.

The on-board computer noted 8.4 liters per 100 km at a speed of 120 kilometers. It was fifth gear and 3.2 thousand rpm. The modesty of the car is manifested in moderate driving - 7.5 liters per hundred, and this is despite my love for a sharp start at a traffic light. I have a 1.6 volume, mileage 123,800 km.

Lada Kalina 2 and its fuel consumption, operating experience 4 years, volume 1.6 liters

I was very surprised when the on-board computer showed me gasoline consumption on the highway of 9 liters or less for the Lada Kalina 2. Fuel consumption in the city is five. I was pleasantly surprised that the Lada Kalina 2 showed such excellent results.

If you drive a hundred, the fuel consumption on the highway will be 5l/100km. At 70 km/h, gasoline consumption is 6.5 liters.

I have long noticed that fuel consumption is highly dependent on driving style. The results of my personal measurements are quite satisfactory: fuel consumption in the city is up to 11 liters, while on the highway it takes up to 7.

It’s not for nothing that people don’t like “Kalina”. If on the highway gasoline consumption is up to 7 liters, then in the city this figure increases to 11. I can say one thing - the car is clearly anti-economical. I don’t recommend buying a Lada Kalina 2; saving is not its credo.

9 – 11 liters is a very significant fuel consumption.

The child of the domestic automobile industry, namely the Lada Kalina 2, has fuel consumption comparable to jeeps. 12 liters is not good.
