Overall Rating
Lada 2111:
The Lada 110 or VAZ-2110 is a compact car built by the Russian automaker AvtoVAZ from 1995 to 2009. It spawned two close derivatives: the Lada 111 estate and the Lada 112 hatchback.
The Lada 110 and its variants were replaced in 2007 by the Lada Priora; which was a largely restyled and modernised version of the Lada 110.
The prototype of the Lada 110, known as the 300 series, was created in 1987 and optimized for aerodynamics in Zuffenhausen, Germany, in cooperation between AvtoVAZ and Porsche engineers. The first photos of the new compact car were published in the popular monthly magazine Za Rulem in November 1990, and the car itself was demonstrated at the AvtoVAZ Tolyatti factory in 1991. Serial production was planned to start in the following year, but an economic crisis stalled the project and the first cars did not roll off the assembly line until June 27, 1995. The Lada 110 featured a 1. 6 litre engine producing approximately 90 hp. Production began with 8-valve engines; a 16 valve engine was offered later. Overall, the car weighed around 1050 kilograms. It had electric windows, trip computer, power steering, and galvanized body panels. Fuel-injected models were equipped with electronic engine management system. In early 2006, new taillights and a new dashboard were introduced....(Read more on Wikipedia)
2111 Overview:
Lada 2111 (2111). With 106 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. Weighing only 1030 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 15.5 s). The top speed reaches 160 km/h. A car with an extended rear cargo area, combining passenger comfort with increased storage. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Lada 2111 generation was not officially tested by Euro NCAP. Vehicles from this era and region generally offered very basic safety features, and independent tests of similar Lada models indicated poor crash performance by Western standards.
1.5 (72 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
This engine provides very modest performance, making acceleration and maintaining speed on inclines challenging. It is strictly for basic, unhurried transportation.
Fuel Economy
Fuel economy data is not provided, but it is expected to be similar to or slightly worse than the 79 Hp version, offering no significant advantage in efficiency.
