Crossover VAZ-2119

The history of AvtoVAZserial crossover of a new generation VAZ-2119 begins to acquire features of certainty, predictability. The impetus was the acquisition in the spring of 2012 by the French-Japanese concern Renault-Nissan controlling stake in the largest domestic automaker and the subsequent financial recovery. Step-by-step production investments totaling $ 750 million are planned until 2014. With the assistance of Renault, a new "AvtoVAZ" platform for AvtoVAZ is being created. In the framework of the general financing of the development of VAZ-2119 (crossover), capital investments amount to 200 million euros. The concept-model of the crossover was first demonstrated in 2008 at the Moscow International Auto Show. The serial release was planned for 2011-2012. In 2009, by the order of the president of the joint-stock company, the preparation of production assets under the VAZ -2119 was initiated. The photo of the concept was willingly placed in advertising.

It was even declared a preliminary price - 390 - 400 thousand rubles. However, the concept stage lasted for as long as 5 years!

During this time avtozavodtsy laid the foundation for the creationline of new engines with controlled fuel injection with a working volume of 1.8 - 2.0 liters. On the Lada Granta model, the four-speed automatic gearbox of the Japanese company Jatco was first serially produced. Certainly, the positive was accumulating, but only evolutionary changes to the result would not have resulted. It was clear one thing: a modern, competitive machine should go into the series.

It took volitional efforts to saveAnother, the project of the domestic crossover VAZ-2119 falling after Tarzan. The AvtoVAZ board of directors in May this year turned to the French corporation Renault for help. The French auto giant will substitute its shoulder also for the production of the hatchback BM-Hatch. The key to further success was the chairing of AvtoVAZ's board of directors by the president of the Renault-Nissan alliance Carlos Ghosn in June this year.

What are the technical characteristics of theus the VAZ-2119? It will be a universal, compact, but spacious car, designed for both urban asphalt and for country roads. Its design (high ground clearance, short overhangs, 18-inch wheels) will surely overcome off-road. It will be comfortable for passengers at the maximum speed on the track - 190 km / h. Motorists will be pleased with the relatively small, "maneuverable" dimensions of the VAZ-2119 in length, width, height. They are, respectively, 4.4 m, 1.8 m, 1.56 m. Do not upset also the volume of the luggage compartment - 350 dm3, sufficient for a family car. Stability on the road will provide an upgraded power steering, the base - 2.64 m.

Noises and vibrations will decrease due to the replacement of classic cardan shafts with innovative shafts using the hinges of equal angular velocities.

Together with the firms BOYSIS (Turkey) and PPG Helios(Slovenia) have developed new technologies for anti-corrosion coatings of the body. VAZ-2119 is supposed to be equipped with an automatic air conditioning system, front seats with electric heating; a system that prevents the blocking of brakes, electronic lock locks. The front lights of the 4x4 SUV will be reinforced with bright, economical daytime running lights that reduce the load on the electrical system.
