For the first time, a VAZ-21124 passenger car rolled off the assembly line of the Volga Automobile Plant in 1999. It belongs to the class of five-door hatchbacks. Over the entire period of existence, the twelfth model of the VAZ has established itself as a comfortable, dynamic and maneuverable car. And in 2000, AvtoVAZ released a cheaper version of the model 21122. Unlike its ancestor, the VAZ “ten” (which was produced a little earlier), the car had improved driving characteristics and a greater variety in configurations. Let's take a closer look at this domestic hatchback model.
VAZ-21124 - control characteristics and dimensions
Unlike the sedan model 2110, the car had a shortened body, the length of which was 4.17 meters. Due to the short base, the car has become more agile, compact and maneuverable than the “ten”. The new car has its own - sports - character. Also, due to its compact size, it is easier to park, and it has much less “dead zones”.
Exterior and interior
The twelfth model of the VAZ has similarities with the tenth and eleventh models in many ways. This mainly concerns the front cladding. Inside, the dashboard is the same as the “dozens,” but the rear row of seats was clearly borrowed from the station wagon. The hatchback has all the positive qualities of the Lada-2110. Engineers tried to eliminate as many defects as possible associated with its predecessors. And they succeeded - the car became the most popular model on the Russian market. By the way, it is worth noting: despite its small body layout , the car has a boot volume of up to 400 liters. Such a large volume can be achieved by folding the rear row of seats. Moreover, the driver does not need to fold all the seats - if you need to carry some kind of thin cargo (two-meter pipe), it is enough to fold only one seat.
VAZ-21124 - operating characteristics at extreme temperatures
As the developers assure, all the components and assemblies (including the heating system) in the car are designed so that even at a temperature of +45 degrees Celsius it does not overheat. And if minus 40 is overboard, it will be possible to get a hatchback without any problems. And even in the harshest winter, the driver and his passengers will remain warm - the heating system heats the cabin to +20 degrees Celsius. In this case, all lighting equipment will function in full.
VAZ-21124: tuning
One of the main features of the car - wide opportunities for tuning. You can "pump" everything here - the engine, and the cladding, and the audio system. In general, all for the complete pleasure of the motorist. And the corresponding details can be found in any car shop or in the market.
VAZ-21124 - engine specifications
The model is equipped with two injection engines running on 95th gasoline. The first is an eight-valve unit with a volume of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 80 horsepower. The second - a sixteen-valve motor with a capacity of 90 "horses" and with the same displacement. 185 kilometers per hour - that's what speed they can accelerate the VAZ-21124. Engine repair will be needed only after 5 years of operation. The motor of the novelty is very fast and reliable.
