Lada Largus Combi 1.6 (84 Hp) 7 Seat
Overall Rating
Lada Largus:
The Lada Largus is a compact estate car built by the Russian manufacturer AvtoVAZ for Russia and CIS countries since 2012. It is essentially a rebadged version of the Renault-developed first generation Dacia Logan MCV and is produced as a joint project with Renault and Nissan.
After the VAZ-2104 had been removed from production in 2012, AvtoVAZ no longer produced any inexpensive and roomy station wagon models. The present model line station wagons Lada Kalina and Lada Priora have a higher completion and much higher price. The Largus is the first joint project between AvtoVAZ and Renault-Nissan. It is part of a larger common plan of the companies to produce five models in Russia, based on the Dacia B0 platform. The total production in 2012 is expected to reach 27,000 cars....(Read more on Wikipedia)
Combi Overview:
Lada Largus (Combi). With 124 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~10.6 l/100km). With a weight of 1330 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 15.4 s). The top speed reaches 155 km/h. A multi-purpose vehicle designed to transport passengers with ample interior space. With seating for 7, it’s perfect for larger families.
The Lada Largus Combi was not directly tested by Euro NCAP. It is based on the first-generation Dacia Logan MCV, which in its sedan form (Dacia Logan) received a 3-star rating for adult occupant protection in 2005. This suggests a basic level of passive safety by modern standards, likely lacking advanced safety features common in contemporary vehicles.
