4 Overview:
Lada 2107 (4). With 116 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~10.5 l/100km). Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 15 s). The top speed reaches 154 km/h. A four-door car with a separate trunk, ideal for families and daily commuting. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Lada 2107 generation 4 was produced before modern safety standards and Euro NCAP testing. It lacks contemporary safety features like airbags and advanced crumple zones, offering minimal passive safety.
1.6 (79 Hp) Verdict:

The 1.6-liter carburetted engine provides adequate but uninspiring performance, suitable for basic commuting with a 0-100 km/h time of 15 seconds.

With a combined fuel consumption of 9.5 l/100 km, this engine is not particularly fuel-efficient by modern standards, reflecting its older design.
