Overall Rating
Lada 2112:
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)
2 Overview:
Lada 2112 (2). With 115 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~10 l/100km). Weighing only 1020 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 14 s). The top speed reaches 170 km/h. A compact car with a rear door that swings upward to provide access to the cargo area. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Lada 2112 generation 2 was not tested by Euro NCAP. Vehicles from this era and region often offered minimal passive safety features, and independent crash tests (like ARCAP) indicated very poor occupant protection.
1.5 i (78 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The 1.5 i (78 Hp) engine provides modest performance, suitable for city driving and light commuting. Its 14-second 0-100 km/h acceleration means it struggles with highway overtaking and spirited driving.
Fuel Economy
With a combined fuel consumption of 7.3 l/100 km, the 1.5 i engine offers acceptable, though not class-leading, economy for its age and power output. Urban consumption is notably higher at 10 l/100 km.
