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)

1.6 (90 Hp) 7 Seat Verdict:

Rating 2 stars

Performance Verdict

The 90 Hp engine struggles with the added weight of the 7-seat configuration, resulting in sluggish acceleration and limited highway capability.

Fuel Economy

Despite lower power, fuel economy is only marginally better at 7.5 l/100 km, which can worsen significantly under load.

Best Use Case: Primarily city driving with occasional light highway use, best suited for budget-conscious buyers not prioritizing speed.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • • Exceptional interior space and cargo capacity for its price point
  • • Highly affordable purchase price and low running costs
  • • Robust and proven mechanical platform (Dacia Logan MCV)
  • • Simple, easy-to-maintain mechanics and widely available parts
  • • Practical and versatile for families or light commercial use

Cons:

  • • Dated interior design and materials compared to modern rivals
  • • Modest engine performance, especially when fully loaded
  • • Basic safety features and technology compared to competitors
  • • Unrefined ride quality and noise insulation at higher speeds
