30 August 2018

Lada XRAY was originally presented as a compact crossover. Now at the Moscow international motor show presented the new version of XRAY Cross. Turns out some of the cross-the cross! What is this tautological, the novelty differs from base model?

Despite the General style of Lada XRAY and Vesta, built on different platforms. If "Vesta" is used a kind of hodgepodge, which "AVTOVAZ" can call its own architecture, the basis of the XRAY legendary "truck" B0. Therefore, Lada XRAY, its proportions, and on driving habits so similar to Renault Sandero Stepway.

However, in the XRAY Cross engineers of "AVTOVAZ" was used a number of original solutions. So, the front suspension is typical of B0 the lower control arms have been replaced new L-shaped. In addition, instead of the electro-hydraulic power steering with an electric and the steering column got adjustment on the flight. These solutions XRAY Cross resembles the "West".

Plus, on the Lada XRAY Cross appeared rear disc brakes. Almost a unique event by the standards of the platform B0: in all models based on it are used "drums" (exceptions apply only to special versions of rare, regional).

By increasing the dimension of tires to 215/50 R17 managed to increase ground clearance from 195 to 215 mm: the owners of most traditional crossovers will get!

In the cabin of XRAY Cross you can detect another reminder that the novelty of trying to become the vehicle for this offroad: hatch received a puck of the choice of modes of operation of the stabilization system with five positions: normal, sport, snow, sand and without stabilization.

Of course, the appearance of four-wheel drive version of Lada XRAY Cross should not even stutter. But in General, the approach to developing a cross-version impressed. Often in such cases, the manufacturers cost only a body kit of unpainted plastic (the novelty of it too), but more "meaty" tires.

Sales of Lada XRAY Cross will begin towards the end of the year. Prices yet to be announced.
