2107 Overview:
Lada 2107 (2107). With 104 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~9.2 l/100km). Weighing only 1060 kg, it’s quite light. Rear‑wheel drive offers dynamic handling and sporty feedback. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 17 s). The top speed reaches 150 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 was produced before modern Euro NCAP testing standards were established and was never officially tested. Its design reflects older safety philosophies, likely offering minimal passive safety features compared to contemporary vehicles.
