Lada Largus Cross 1.6 (105 Hp)
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)
Cross Overview:
Lada Largus (Cross). With 148 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~11.5 l/100km). Weighing only 1260 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 13.1 s). The top speed reaches 165 km/h. A multi-purpose vehicle designed to transport passengers with ample interior space. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Lada Largus Cross itself has not been directly tested by Euro NCAP. However, its underlying platform, the Dacia Logan MCV, received a 3-star rating in 2005, indicating a basic level of safety for its time.
1.6 (105 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Provides adequate power for urban and highway driving, with slightly better acceleration (13.1s 0-100km/h) than the 7-seat variant due to less potential load. Not built for speed but reliable.
Fuel Economy
Fuel consumption is consistent with the 7-seat version, offering reasonable figures for its class, though modern alternatives might be more efficient. Combined 9 l/100 km.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Excellent value for money and low running costs
- • Spacious and versatile interior, especially the 7-seat option
- • High ground clearance suitable for varied road conditions
- • Simple, robust, and reliable mechanicals

Cons:
- • Underpowered engine, especially when fully loaded
- • Basic interior quality and limited features
- • Outdated safety technology compared to modern rivals
- • Unrefined driving experience and noise levels
- • High fuel consumption for its performance
