The prototype of the domestic "Lada Largus" was the car Dacia Logan MCV. The Russian analogue began to be produced at AvtoVAZ sites in 2012, while the engineers of the concern completely copied the appearance of Logan with the exception of the logo - the familiar boat on the grill.
Vehicle Features
Since the start of sales, the owners of Lada Largus spoke very positively about the car in reviews, most often noting a sturdy and stable suspension that quietly endures trips on Russian roads. Some motorists noted that the “Largus” is too heavy on the go and poor in handling, but these qualities are more positive than negative, because thanks to them, “Lada” remains confident on how many road surfaces in the cold season.
The owners of the Lada Largus in their reviews note that the stylish and dynamic design only creates the appearance that the car has excellent speed characteristics: in fact, this is far from the case, so drivers will have to put up with regular overtaking on the highway. But this also has its advantages: the shape of the Largus body allows you to minimize the impact of crosswind.
In reviews of the Lada Largus, the fact that the model is available in different trim levels is especially noted, due to which it can be used by both large families for out-of-town trips and private entrepreneurs to transport goods.
The main drawback of the Largus design is the inconvenient placement of a spare wheel. In the reviews of the Lada Largus, the real owners of the car’s shortcomings note that due to the fact that the spare wheel is under the car’s bottom, it is extremely difficult to carry out emergency wheel replacement, not to mention the fact that the driver has to smear himself with dirt and dust during work .
Exterior of Largus
The design of the domestic car was almost completely borrowed from Logan - AvtoVAZ made only minor amendments. The model’s affiliation to the Togliatti manufacturer is determined only by a characteristic emblem located on the radiator grill. The owners of the “Lada Largus” in real reviews say that the design of the headlights is rather modest, but at the same time they perfectly complement the large air intake and bumper with smooth lines.
In general, the Lada Largus looks like a classic wagon, which are produced by many automakers. Characteristic features of such models are a sloping hood and a flat roof, a large area occupied by side glazing. The rear of the body attracts attention with two asymmetric doors, vertically oriented optics and a compact bumper.
Car interior
Some owners of “Lada Largus” in the reviews in shortcomings note the ascetic and standard interior design of the model. The same ergonomic errors that were in the arrangement of devices and other Logan elements were repeated in Largus. There are very few instruments; their scales and trip computer are decorated with chrome trim. Despite the laconicism of the dashboard, its information content is very good, which is noted in the reviews of the “Lada Largus”. The three-spoke steering wheel is firmly fixed and decorated with the AvtoVAZ logo in the center.
The number of controls located on the central panel is minimal. The car’s maximum equipment, judging by the owners ’reviews of the Lada Largus Cross and AvtoVAZ’s information, includes a radio with USB and AUX connectors, which is not available in the basic and average configurations. Nearby are the controls for heating and ventilation, electric front windows, heated rear windows, rear door lock lock and alarm.
Trim
The upholstery is made of fabric and hard plastic, respectively, the comfort of passengers and the driver is minimal. The lateral support of the front seats is minimal, the seats themselves are flat, but the range of their adjustment is quite wide. In the reviews of the Lada Largus, it is noted that in the luxury version the seats have support for the driver’s lower back and seat height adjustment.
The second and third row of seats are very comfortable and spacious, respectively, passengers feel comfortable during the trip. However, the car belongs to the budget category, so you should not expect increased comfort from it. Despite the fact that the trim is made of cheap materials, everything is done efficiently, soundly and firmly, without backlash and third-party noise, which is noted in the reviews of “Lada Largus”.
Luggage compartment
The luggage capacity of the Lada Largus with five passenger seats is 560 liters. You can change it by folding the back row of seats, which, judging by the reviews of the Lada Largus, increases the volume to 2350 liters, which allows you to transport bulky goods.
