-40 Overview:
Lada 2115 (-40). With 120 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. Weighing only 985 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 13.2 s). The top speed reaches 158 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.
1.6 (80 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
This 1.6-liter engine delivers a modest 80 Hp, providing adequate but uninspiring performance for daily commuting. Acceleration to 100 km/h in 13.2 seconds highlights its utilitarian nature rather than any sporting ambition.
Fuel Economy
With an extra-urban consumption of 7.6 l/100 km, the 1.6 (80 Hp) engine is not particularly fuel-efficient for its power output, especially by modern standards. Running costs might be higher than expected for a budget car.
