The sensational novelties of AvtoVAZ, the sedan Lada Vesta and the hatchback X Ray, have managed to seriously compete with foreign cars in the Russian car market. But at the same time, both models became rivals to each other in terms of characteristics. Despite the fact that they have significant differences, many buyers choose between these two cars. Further in the text, a detailed comparative review of these Russian cars will be presented in all respects, including design and technical features.

At first glance, these cars are incomparable, however, if you look at the essence of the issue more closely, you can come to the opposite conclusion. Comparison of Lada Vesta and Iks Rey is quite acceptable, since Vesta, given the body shape and dimensions, has a B + class. And the Xray, according to representatives of AvtoVAZ, is a raised hatchback of class B, which can be called a SUV. Therefore, both models are not so far from each other, especially since they are united by a similar visual design, which is part of the new corporate identity of AvtoVAZ. For maximum objectivity of the comparison, during the writing of the review, the results of independent test drives and the official data of AvtoVAZ were used.

External design

A careful comparative visual analysis suggests the conclusion that both Lada X Rey and Vesta look quite presentable, have their own style, which the developers have clearly worked hard on. Both cars look at the level of foreign market leaders in this price range.

According to many experts and the results of independent test drives, Lada Vesta and Xray are the best models for all years of Russian production in terms of visual design.

Sedan Lada Vesta and hatchback X Ray have serious differences in body dimensions:

In fact, Lada Vesta is longer than X Ray, and also has a larger wheelbase. However, Vesta is much lower.

At the same time, Lada Xray has a higher ground clearance: 195 millimeters against 171. Hence the conclusion that the crossover, thanks to this characteristic, will have an advantage while driving on Russian roads and have better cross-country ability.

Evaluation of interiors

An external comparison gives the impression that the interiors of Lada Iks Rey and Vesta are very similar.

Interior Lada Vesta

But if you take a closer look and conduct a small test drive, it will immediately become clear that Lada Vesta wins in comfort.

This effect is achieved due to the fact that it has:

• more free space in the cabin, passengers and the driver feel more comfortable;
• the superiority of Vesta in the parameter of the wheelbase size and the "sedan" body shape also contributes to the comfort;
• in the sedan, the driver has more space for a view of the track;
• the basic configuration of the Lada Vesta has more advanced functionality than the X Ray;
• Lada Vesta has a more spacious trunk (480 l) compared to Xray (324 l).

Interior Lada X-RAY

Both cars have 55-liter gas tanks, therefore, in the case of using the same engines, the power reserve will be approximately the same, since the aerodynamic parameters and mass of the Lada Vesta sedan and the X-Ray hatchback are approximately equal.

Platform analysis

One of the main differences between Lada Vesta and X Ray lies in the platform. Lada Xray is designed on the Renault Sandero platform with a new suspension in which modern springs are installed. The vehicle has widened tracks and reinforced many of the body components. The simple hydraulic booster was replaced with electrohydraulics, and a new German ABS system was installed. From the Renault platform in the Lada X Rey, only the supporting base, floor panels and engine shield remained. The rest of the elements were redone by AvtoVAZ specialists and therefore their implementation is relevant for Russian roads and weather conditions.

In contrast to X Ray, Lada Vesta has a completely new platform. It was designed and created by professionals specifically for the Russian driving conditions. The Lada Vesta is equipped with MacPherson struts and a beam that can be twisted in the back. The following elements are installed on the Lada Vesta from Nissan:

• a subframe designed to mount the engine;
• the lower part of the steering rack;
• electro-hydraulic power steering.

The new Lada Vesta platform is better than Xray in terms of stability and endurance to temperature extremes and physical stress.

The design of the new Lada body provides for the presence of specially designed reinforcement zones with excellent characteristics. Thanks to this, they give the best results during test drives and crash tests carried out according to European standards Euro NCAP. According to the management of AvtoVAZ, Lada Xray has a three-star platform, while Vesta has four stars. Therefore, even according to the manufacturer, in this aspect, the sedan is better than the crossover.

About engines and transmissions

The trim levels of these cars contain engines and gearboxes of the same technical characteristics. Based on the results of test drives, all engines are working properly and have no complaints.

All Lada Vesta and Xray engines work in combination with a 5-speed mechanics and a robotic automatic transmission. In this aspect, both cars are equal. Numerous test drives and tests have proven the performance of all gearboxes.

Cars have a fundamental difference in the checkpoint. At this point, X Ray is ahead of Vesta, as in one of its trim levels it is equipped with the new French JR5 gearbox. In addition, improved versions of the robot and mechanics are installed on the crossover. More details in the table:

Check point type, Vesta		Gearbox type, Xray
VAZ-2180, mechanics, 5 st.		JR5, mechanics, 5 speed manual
VAZ-2182, robot		VAZ-21826, robot
JH3 510, mechanics, 5 st.		JH3 512, mechanics, 5 speed manual

About patency

Thanks to the new VAZ stabilization system, both the sedan and the crossover received a huge advantage over other cars in cross-country ability, now they are not afraid of mud, snow, or going to the side of the road. As the official test drives showed, the new system allows Vesta and X Ray to get out of the most difficult situations.

However, the advantage in ground clearance makes the crossover more adaptable to bad roads.

Therefore, in terms of cross-country characteristics, the Xray looks a little more profitable. It is likely that the introduction of the Xray 4 wd will be able to propel the SUV forward by a wide margin.

Outcome

Comparing the technical characteristics of these cars, reviews and results of test drives, it is difficult to come to a concrete conclusion and 100% answer the question "Which car is better in the fight against Vesta VS Xray?"

In terms of external design, the comfort and conceptuality of Vesta is slightly ahead, however, X Ray has the best cross-country ability. Therefore, the key factor in deciding whether to buy one of these two vehicles can be the individual taste of a particular buyer. In any case, before buying, you can make a test drive, once again compare all the characteristics and make your final choice.

The new domestic sedan Lada Vesta interested many people who were going to buy a car. However, when the Lada X Rey hatchback came out, many were at a loss as to which is better. Give preference to the familiar and comfortable sedan with a low cost, or still pay more and get a powerful and practical hatchback.

Lada Vesta or X Ray which is better? To answer this question correctly, it is necessary to compare such parameters of cars as interior, technical characteristics, cross-country ability, speed and fuel consumption, equipment and price.

Lada Vesta x Rey photo prices specifications

The appearance of the car is the first thing that the buyer pays attention to. That is why, to compare two cars, it is necessary to compare their body and interior. As mentioned above, Lada Vesta is produced in a sedan body. As for the Lada X Rey, it is produced only in the form of a hatchback. Therefore, when choosing a car, you should immediately take into account the purpose of its use, and then decide on the type of body.

If we consider these models in terms of size, then the situation is as follows:

1. Vehicle length... For Vesta, the length is 4,410 mm, for X Rey - 4,165 mm. The difference is quite small - 25 cm, but it has an important point in determining the appearance of the car.
2. Vehicle width... In terms of width, both models are the same - 1,764 mm.
3. Machine height... It should be noted that xRay is 8 cm higher than Vesta, the width of the models is 1,570 mm and 1,497 mm, respectively.
4. Wheelbase... Here the hatchback is 4 cm behind the sedan - 2,592 mm and 2,635 mm, respectively.
5. Clearance... In this characteristic, xRay wins Vesta: 195 mm versus 178 mm.
6. Luggage compartment volume: 480 l. at Vesta and 361 y.p. at xRay.
7. Weight... It is worth noting that xRay has a lighter weight - 1,190 kg, in contrast to Vesta - 1,230 kg.

When purchasing a car, it is necessary to determine which of the listed characteristics are most important for the buyer. If the space in the cabin, the length of the car and the wheelbase are of great importance, then you should choose Vesta.

If the priority is given to the volume of the trunk and the clearance, then it is worth stopping your gaze on X Ray. It is worth noting that X Ray also has such a feature as if the rear seat is folded. Unfortunately, you can't do that trick with a sedan.

Characteristics of gearboxes

Both cars have identical transmissions. Both models have a robotic box. The only difference here is that the Vesta package can include either a domestic or a French transmission. X Ray has only French.

In general, the gearboxes work smoothly, without gear sticking and unpleasant noise. Tellingly, none of the models has a classic automated box. In order to save money, a robotic gearbox was installed, which affects the ride - more jerks and jerks, a delayed reaction to reverse gear. However, you can get used to it.

Suspension characteristics of models

Both models are front-wheel drive. And although some argue that X Ray is, there is no a priori all-wheel drive. As for the chassis design, it is identical here. Spring-loaded front suspension with stabilizer bar and MacPherson struts. At the back there is only a torsion beam without a multi-link.

Passability Lada Vesta and X Ray

The manufacturers stated that both car models are fully compliant and fully suitable for the conditions of our highways. Rigid suspension and resilient rear beam ensure smooth ride and cross-country ability even on the most bumpy road sections. However, based on the dimensions of the clearance, Lada Vesta can sit on the bottom in case of heavy snowfall or rainy weather. The 21mm difference can make a difference. Therefore, the permeability is still better for X Ray.

Equipment and prices for the Lada Vesta and Lada Iks Rey models

If we consider similar levels of basic models, then Lada X Rey has a cost more than Lada Vesta - 589 thousand rubles against 529. If we look at the top, then the prices here also differ: Lada X Rey - 742 thousand, Lada Vesta - 672 thousand.

If the buyer wants a metallic color, then the surcharge is the same - 10 thousand rubles. However, Vesta offers a branded color scheme "Lime" for 30 thousand rubles.

As for the complete set of cars, Vesta wins here, since it offers 7 types, X Ray - only 4.

If we take a closer look at the list of options, then you will notice that Lada Vesta simply splits their list, each configuration is added, mainly, multimedia equipment or options that provide additional comfort. All configurations have 2 airbags, rear door locking, Era-Glonass, auto door locking, etc. Discs, armrests, headrests, handles, etc. are added.

If we consider the Lada X Rey, then there is a huge plus. Having overpaid 70 thousand rubles, you can get an engine with a capacity of 122 horsepower, which Lada Vesta cannot offer. By sacrificing one rear seat and paying extra, the buyer can get a much more powerful engine and better cross-country ability. For the majority of Russian residents, these qualities are defining.

However, the choice depends on the very future owner and the purpose of using the car, as well as the preferences of buyers.

Immediately after the start of sales, Lada Vesta caused a stir among motorists. Many of those who were looking for a car in the budget price segment began to consider this model in more depth. Ultimately, most motorists preferred Vesta over models from foreign manufacturers, which cost more. However, after the start of sales of "Lada-X-Ray" buyers began to think about what to choose - a cheaper sedan or a roomy city hatchback. Some of the car enthusiasts still have not found an answer to this question. Therefore, it will be considered in more detail. Comparison of "Vesta" and "X-Ray" will be done below.

The main differences between the models

The main difference, judging by the reviews, "Lada-Vesta" from "Lada-X-Ray" is that the sedan is a car developed entirely from scratch. Its development lasted quite a long period, but they started talking about Vesta already in the early stages of construction. The model is popular because people have been waiting for it for a long time. With regards to "X-Ray" we can say that it was not developed from scratch. The model was based on the no less famous Renault Sandero model, and it was built on the basis of "Logan", which has been tested over the years by many taxi drivers in Russia.

In this case, people are confused in the choice. They think about what is better to choose - new designs and sensations or a reliable platform that has long proven itself on the good side. So far, there are no definitive answers to this dispute. All the differences will be discussed in more detail below. Which is better - "Vesta" or "X-Ray"?

Body

Some drivers choose their car based on the prestige of a particular brand. However, in this case, this factor is minimal, since both models are produced by the same company. Many people judge the prestige by looking at the body; they differ between Vesta and X-Ray.

Vesta is produced only in a sedan body, but in the near future the plant is preparing to present other versions to the public: a variant with an increased ground clearance and a car with an extended base. The latter will be produced in limited quantities, but this version looks more prestigious than the rest. Many lovers of VAZ cars are looking forward to these new items.

"X-Ray" is available for sale only as a hatchback. Some people think that the model is a crossover, but it is not. For lovers of light off-road vehicles, AvtoVAZ is still preparing the XRAY Cross version, which can be considered a full-fledged crossover. Changes in the new product will be minimal: four-wheel drive, increased ground clearance, various body linings and other improvements.

If you like sedan cars, then it is best to choose "Lada-Vesta". If "pseudo-crossovers" are nice, the size of which is slightly larger than those of other cars, then it is better to give preference to "X-Ray". For fans of station wagons there are no suitable options at the moment, but "Vesta" in this body design should appear soon. The same applies to those who like crossovers for overcoming light off-roading. AvtoVAZ is preparing Xray Cross for them.

Dimensions (edit)

Externally, the cars do not differ much from each other in size. However, if you look at everything in more detail, you can see that everything is different.

"Lada-Vesta" is longer than "X-Rey" by almost 300 mm, and therefore, it is more comfortable because of the increased base. In width, the cars are completely identical. The height of the models is different: "Vesta" is lower than "X-Ray" by 73 mm, although visually this difference seems to be greater. This is due, in particular, to the ground clearance - in the "X-Ray" it is more by 17 mm and equal to 195 mm, while the "Vesta" - 178 mm. In terms of the capacity of the luggage compartment, the sedan wins - its volume is 480 liters instead of 361 liters for the hatchback. Although outwardly "X-Ray" looks larger, it weighs 40 kg less.

For those who value space and spaciousness, it is considered that it is better to buy "Vesta", "X-Ray" is less spacious. In addition, it is more comfortable because of its wheelbase. If there is a need to overcome light off-road, then it is better to give preference to "X-Ray". It is worth noting that with the rear seats folded out in the hatchback, the luggage compartment volume increases to 1207 liters. Vesta does not have such an opportunity.

Appearance

You can see, if we compare "Lada-Vesta" and "Lada-X-Rey", that the exterior of these two models has the same features. This is due to the fact that after the start of sales "Lada-Vesta" began to enjoy immense popularity and therefore the designers decided to make "X-Ray" in a similar style. The front ends of the cars are almost identical. If you look closely, you can see the letter "X", which is drawn by the headlights, radiator grill, fog lights and bumper air intake. Also, the models have very similar hoods. However, when looking at the cars from the side, it is noticeable that the X-Ray looks like a shortened front end, in contrast to the Vesta. And yet it is too early to say which is better: "Vesta" or "H-Ray".

Also, the models are similar from the side. They have "X" -shaped patterns that make cars look more modern. However, because of this, "X-Ray" seems short. Vesta does not have such a problem. Many owners complain that small diameter wheels are installed on the X-Ray. However, the manufacturer installs 15- and 16-inch rims on the model, but in massive wheel arches such rims seem very small. Some owners of "X-Ray" immediately after purchase install wheels of a larger radius on it.

Which car is better: "Lada-Vesta" or "X-Ray" - it's hard to say, the design has minimal differences. As mentioned above, the only difference between the cars is in the body styles. Otherwise, they are almost the same, and there is no tangible difference between them.

"Lada-Vesta" and "X-Ray": characteristics

An equally important criterion when choosing a car is its technical characteristics. They are different for "Vesta" and "X-Ray". With what? To answer this question, let's look inside the cars.

Power unit

Judging by the number of options offered, the hatchback wins. It is available for purchase with 3 different motors. Lada-Vesta comes with only one motor option.

Both cars are equipped with a 106 hp engine. with. from AvtoVAZ. This engine was installed on others, therefore, many know about its reliability. It has a 4-cylinder, 16-valve and has a multi-point fuel injection system. Of course, the motor is not the most powerful, but it is enough for these models. "Lada-Vesta" with this unit accelerates to 100 km / h in 11.2 s, while X-Ray does it for 0.2 s longer. In this indicator, the sedan wins. However, it already loses in maximum speed: Vesta has 175 km / h, while X-Ray has 176 km / h. You will have to overpay a little for this, since Vesta has an average consumption of 0.5 liters lower. With such a motor, you should not count on prohibitive power, however, it is more than enough for a quiet ride.

"Lada-Vesta" is presented only with this engine. X-Ray has 2 more engine options. One of them is a 110 hp engine. with., it is a joint development of the Renault-Nissan alliance. Its device is identical to the previous one. According to the ideas of the engineers, the engine was supposed to have a capacity of 116 liters. with., however, it was reduced for some reason. Thanks to innovations, this engine has good traction and is more economical. The top speed has also increased to 181 km / h.

The most popular is the 122 hp engine. with. and a volume of 1.8 liters. It is the development of engineers at AvtoVAZ. At the moment it is installed only in "X-Ray". Thanks to a torque of 170 Nm, the engine accelerates the car to 100 km / h in just 10.9 seconds. The top speed has also increased compared to other variants and is 186 km / h. Fuel consumption has not increased here. This was achieved thanks to the innovations of engineers. The motor could accelerate the car even faster, but due to the fact that the robotic gearbox does not work perfectly, this is impossible. If this engine were installed with mechanics, then it would be much easier to realize all the power of the unit.

If a powerful engine is important, then at the moment it is better to give preference to the Lada X-Ray car. Its engine range includes a powerful 122-horsepower engine, which is not available for Vesta. However, soon the company plans to fix this and start installing the motor in the sedan. In this case, "Vesta" should be faster than "X-Ray". Implementing this motor in a sedan is not an easy task, so it is postponed.

Transmission "Lada-Vesta" and "X-Ray"

In terms of the checkpoint, everything is much simpler. The cars have almost the same boxes. Only a 5-speed mechanics and a robot are installed here. Lada-Vesta is equipped with two options: a manual transmission developed by AvtoVAZ employees, and AMT, a French-made robot.

Russian-made gearboxes were not installed in X-Ray. The model is equipped only with a French-made gearbox - JR5 512 and JH3 518. The operation of domestic and foreign gearboxes is not very different from each other. Both options shift gears smoothly, do not create extraneous noise and are quite short-travel.

Many cars in the same price range are equipped with automatic transmission, which is better according to reviews. "Vesta" or "X-Ray" does not have this. Only mechanics and a robot are installed here. The company's management took such measures in order to reduce the cost of production, since the introduction and subsequent installation of the machine in cars would require additional costs. It is worth noting that the robot is sometimes late with gear changes and jerks appear because of it. But many owners of "Lada-Vesta" and "X-Ray" are used to this.

Suspension

Many argue that the Lada X-Ray is a crossover. However, it is not. Proof of this is the lack of all-wheel drive. The model is a hatchback with increased ground clearance. Regarding Vesta, no disputes arise.

In addition to the increased ground clearance, the cars no longer have any differences in suspension. In the front part there are struts with springs, the suspension is independent. A torsion beam is introduced at the rear.

Salon

Inside, the cars are very similar. And to say that "Vesta" is better than "X-Ray" is impossible. They have almost the same steering wheels, center dashboard and seat design. However, there are still differences. The interior in both models is well-designed, all elements are well assembled. There are no creaks or backlashes while driving. The seats are quite comfortable, but on the back sofa with the head restraints lowered down, the passengers are uncomfortable, as they rest on the shoulder blades.

The interior of both models is equally good. It is very difficult to answer the question of which is better: "Vesta" or "X-Ray". All elements are made of approximately the same materials. In terms of noise insulation, the differences are also minimal, it is here at a decent level. X-Ray is better here only because tall passengers are much more comfortable to sit in it due to the structure of the roof. Also, with the seats folded down, the volume of the luggage compartment is larger.

Complete set

Both cars are presented in 3 trim levels: classic, comfort and luxury. As standard, the Vesta is poorly equipped. Of all the amenities here, only power windows, an on-board computer and 2 airbags. With "H-Ray" the situation is similar. In the middle configuration, Vesta has body-colored door handles and rear-view mirrors, as well as a mirror in the passenger sun visor. "X-Ray" is equipped with the same, but in addition it has 16-inch wheels. The luxury cars have the same equipment. All possible options are set in them.

Price

The standard Vesta will cost the buyer 529 thousand rubles, while the X-Ray with the same equipment will cost 589 thousand rubles. In the luxury configuration, the sedan costs 672 thousand rubles, the hatchback - 742 thousand rubles. You can also buy "Vesta" in lime color, paying extra 30 thousand rubles for it.

Which is better: "Lada-Vesta" or "X-Ray"?

It's a matter of everyone's choice, because, as they say, there are no comrades for taste and color. If you need a stylish sedan with low fuel consumption and good traction, the Vesta is a great option. If you want a crossover for off-road driving, but you are not ready for big expenses, then it is best to choose the X-Ray.

Outcome

In conclusion, it is worth noting that each of the cars in question is good in its own way. Both models are made by the same company, so the workmanship and power units are approximately the same. The main difference between cars is cost. We hope you received an answer to the question of which is better: "Lada-Vesta" or "X-Ray" - and the reviews of the owners were useful for you.

In recent years, the main Russian auto concern has been seriously working on improving its cars. Such zeal is fully justified, because Avtovaz cars have not been able to impose a struggle on foreign cars for at least 10 years and gain recognition among the broad masses.

Attracting foreign specialists, improving production technologies, using innovative materials and much more helped the automaker to give birth to the last two novelties that are quite competitive with foreign cars. This, of course, is about Ladakh Kh-Rey and Vesta. Having become competitors to foreign counterparts in the domestic market, they also began to compete with each other. Lada X-Ray is a compact crossover, aka a raised B-class hatchback, which is an excellent means of transportation both over rough terrain and in an urban rhythm, not devoid of style. Lada Vesta is a sedan or station wagon, a more mobile car, also not devoid of a pleasant exterior.

Attention! Both machines were created using a similar technology, which makes it possible to draw some parallels between them and, accordingly, make a comparison.

So which is better: Vesta or H-Ray? Let's figure out for what purposes, and in what circumstances, this or that car is preferable.

The need for comparison and its parameters

It may seem irrational to someone to compare two cars, especially from the same concern. However, in modern realities, it will be very useful for an inexperienced car enthusiast to consider this comparative review, especially if the choice is made between Lada Vesta and X-Ray. Of course, taste and needs (guided by them, they choose the best vehicle for themselves) are purely subjective concepts, and it would be wrong to say with absolute certainty that the information presented below is only one truth. In any case, each aspect of the comparison, or rather, its conclusions, is based on considering all technical characteristics, studying the reviews of auto specialists, owners of these cars and an in-depth analysis of all information.

The most basic ones, the most important for any car enthusiast, were chosen as the comparison parameters. Their list is as follows:

• technical characteristics (power of motors, gearbox, suspension, etc.);
• dimensions;
• speed parameters and fuel consumption;
• passing parameters;
• complete set, their convenience, prices;
• comparison of exteriors (exterior design);
• comparison of interiors (car interiors).

Summarizing the basic concepts of the review, you can objectively compare Lada Vesta and X-Ray.

Specifications

As for the engines, in Ladakh Vesta and X-Rey they are represented by completely identical models that have the same characteristics. More precisely, these are motors:

• VAZ-21129 with a capacity of 106 horsepower;
• HR16DE - 110 horsepower;
• VAZ-21179 - 122 horsepower;

There are also some other engines that are equipped with cars, but these are quite rare cases. All of them are equipped with 5-speed gearboxes, either mechanical or automatic. However, the gearbox unit is better implemented by Lada X-Ray, since the general construction technology, as well as equipping one of the complete sets of the innovative gearbox from French engineers (JR5), is a serious and confident step forward. In addition, the crossover has improved the work of both mechanics and the machine. Boxes featured on cars:

• Lada Vesta: VAZ-2180 - 5-mortar, mechanics; JH3 510 - Mechanic's 5-mortar; VAZ-2182 - automatic.
• Lada X-Ray: JR5 - 5-mortar, mechanics; JH3 512 - 5-mortar, mechanics; VAZ-21826 - automatic.

As you can see, in terms of the implementation of the engine and gearbox operation, the crossover is slightly better.

The third major component in any car is the suspension. Both Frets are front-wheel drive and their chassis design is completely identical. The suspension of Vesta and X-Ray is an independent chassis system with a spring-loaded front axle, struts, stabilizers and a torsion bar at the rear. But even here there is a slight advantage for the X-ray - it is a higher ground clearance, which will be discussed in more detail below. Although, at the same time, the West platform is more stable and reliable, which should not be ignored.

Regarding the operation and operation of all nodes in general, no complaints from the owners and test drivers were observed. Everything is done with high quality and works like a clock. In general, in terms of technical characteristics, X-Ray is slightly better and more elaborated. However, Lada Vesta also will not get lost next to the crossover, since in many ways the structural structure is similar in both cars.

Dimensions and exterior

The situation is much more interesting with the comparison of the dimensions of Vesta and X-Rey, because somewhere one car is inferior, and somewhere another. So, the summary characteristic:

• Length: Vesta - 4,410 mm; X-Ray - 4 165 mm.
• Width: 1 764-1764.
• Height: 1 497-1 570.
• Wheelbase: 2 635-2 592.
• Ground clearance: 178-195.
• Trunk volume: 480 liters for West and 361 liters for X-Ray.
• Weight: 1 230 (equipped - 1 670) kg - 1 220 (1 650) kg.

It is extremely irrational to choose which of the cars is better by size. In this case, it all depends on the needs of the owner, that is, if the priority is clearance and height - X-Ray is better, but if you need to transport a lot of things in the trunk or the length plays an important role - Vesta.

Of course, in terms of the exterior, it's hard to compare anything. It all depends on individual tastes. Both cars are made in very competent and eye-catching design solutions. It is fair to say that many motorists and auto experts prefer Lada Vesta in terms of appearance.

Speed ​​parameters and fuel consumption

Since the design solutions (engines, gearbox, suspension, etc.) are largely similar, Lada X-Rey and Lada Vesta have approximately the same values ​​of both maximum speed and acceleration to 100 km / h. Based on this, we can conclude that by purchasing a more expensive package, you will also get higher speed parameters. In this aspect, the cars are equal, even in spite of the body structure and their aerodynamic properties. Speed ​​characteristics:

• Lada Vesta: maximum speed - 181 km / h; acceleration to 100 km / h - 10.9—13 seconds (depending on the supplied motor).
• Lada Kh-Rei: maximum speed - 178 km / h; acceleration to 100 km / h - 11.1-13 seconds (depending on the supplied motor).

The average fuel consumption for both cars is also about the same, according to the manufacturer's data, it ranges from 8.5 to 10 liters in the city, 5.5-6.5 liters on the highway and 6.8-7.6 in the combined cycle.

In general, in these parameters, the cars are approximately equal, and it is worth relying on the component motor here. If you want more speed - take a 122-horsepower unit, there is a desire to save on fuel - take weaker engines: 106-horsepower on the X-Ray or 87-horsepower on the West.

Passability

Cross-country ability is also a very controversial parameter, because the VAZ concern claims that both Vesta and X-Ray were created taking into account all the nuances of Russian roads. As noted earlier, car suspensions are almost identical and have a fairly rigid structure. Taking into account the use of the rear beam, we can believe this, because this chassis element is able to provide a fairly highly comfortable and smooth ride of the vehicle on uneven surfaces. Despite this, the higher ground clearance of the X-Ray (it is still a raised hatchback) gives the car some advantage in cross-country ability when viewed from Vesta.

Various testing companies have tested the flotation performance of both vehicles under various conditions. The conclusion from them was unambiguous: the clearance of 195 mm for the X-Ray (versus 178 mm) significantly reduces the chance of "sitting" on the bottom.

Therefore, if the driving conditions and the condition of the roads in your area are quite difficult (in winter there is a lot of snow, constant mud, etc.), it is better to give preference to Lada H-Rey. Definitely, the crossover has the best characteristics in terms of "cross-country ability".

Car configurations

It should be noted right away that the functionality of the TOP configurations of Lada Vesta and Lada X-Ray is almost identical. Therefore, in any case, if you are aiming to purchase the best version of the car, the equipment will be the same. But if we consider all types of complete sets of both cars, then Vesta has a clear advantage here. What is it? The fact that when choosing, you can more flexibly select the necessary options in each individual case. And the advantage in the number of functional variations for Vesta is great: 7 against 4 for X-Rei.

Car configurations:

• Lada Vesta: Classic, Comfort, Comfort-Optima, Lux, Lux-Style, Lux-Multimedia, Lux-Lime.
• Lada Kh-Rei: Optima, Optima-Comfort, Top, Top-Prestige.

There are no significant differences in the trim levels of both cars, that is, all basic ones have a radio tape recorder, speakers, etc., and in more advanced ones, for example, an air conditioner. Given such a strong identity in the choice of functional features of a particular car, Lada Vesta has a significant advantage in this regard over X-Ray, due to the possibility of more flexible selection.

The cost for basic vehicle configurations is 60-70 thousand rubles: X-Ray costs 589,000, Vesta - 529,000 rubles. Top versions of cars cost 742,000 and 672,000, respectively. The selection of a color or a more advanced functional package costs 10-30,000 rubles plus to the cost of the basic configuration for each car.

Interior

Again, it is a difficult task to determine whose interior is better: Lada Vesta or X-Ray. The manufacturer confused all the maps to the reviewers, making almost identical car designs from the inside. Both models in the more expensive trim levels are available in leather interior design, while the less expensive ones have a lot of plastic, plain fabric, etc.

The cars are spacious enough and capable of transporting five people without causing them any inconvenience. The only significant difference is the trunk volume: Vesta has 480 liters, while X-Ray has 361, which makes the first car more family-friendly. Although, by folding the rear seats in the crossover, you can increase the capacity to as much as 1,200 liters, but this is not always possible.

Many people note that it is much more difficult to find fault with the interior of Vesta than that of X-Ray. In any case, the concept of taste is extremely subjective, therefore, we will not generalize conclusions regarding the internal design of cars. One thing is for sure - the interior in both cars, if not at the level of foreign cars, then very close to them.

Output

In conclusion, it is necessary to conclude: after all, which is better: Lada Vesta or H-Rey? No matter how much the VAZ fans want to hear the name of their favorite car, it is impossible to answer this question unequivocally. In choosing a particular car, it all depends on the individual preferences of each person and the purpose of using the car.

A number of things can be said unequivocally:

1. Specifications practically the same, neither of the two cars has any advantages in this aspect. Of course, in the structure of X-Ray there are some parts from European and Japanese manufacturers (for example, a gearbox), but Vesta is not without this, in which part of the suspension is made by Nissan spare parts. That's why quality and values ​​of those. the resource is almost identical.
2. Operational capabilities slightly higher in X-Ray, this is especially pronounced in cross-country ability. However, the same fuel consumption or speed parameters are the same for cars.
3. Interior and exterior - a matter of taste, and focusing on this is stupid, all the more to make any estimates of them.
4. In terms of configuration variations, Vesta has a clear advantage., but in the basic and top-end - the functionality is the same.
5. Cost as well as design is everyone's choice. Is it worth overpaying 60-70,000 for a crossover - decide for yourself.

So, answer yourself: "Which is better for you: Vesta or XRAY?"

Lada XRAY is a high hatchback from AvtoVAZ, a pre-production version of which was shown at the Moscow Motor Show two thousand and fourteen together with a sedan. At the beginning of November the fifteenth, the manufacturer officially presented the product version of the novelty.

In general, the appearance of the car at the time of the presentation was not a secret. The design of the new Lada X Ray 2018-2019 (photo and price) is made in the corporate style of the company, developed by Steve Mattin. A key feature of the exterior is the X-shaped front end, as well as the corresponding stampings on the sidewalls. The latter are quite difficult for mass production, so it's good that they still made it to the assembly line.

Options and prices Lada XRAY 2019

MT5 - 5-speed mechanics, AMT5 - 5-speed robot.

For the first time, such a style was tested on the original XRAY concept - Mattin's first work at AvtoVAZ. Of course, that prototype even today looks much more spectacular than the serial X Ray, but it was just a show car to attract attention - without a full-fledged chassis at its core.

But the hatchback Lada X Ray 2019, prepared for production, is built on the basis of the French B0 platform used on Renault Logan and Sandero Stepway. The latter became the starting point for the Russian car, which the representatives of AvtoVAZ planned to make better than the source in all respects, despite the corporate hierarchy.

Specifications

The overall length of the Lada XRAY 2019 in the new body is 4,164 mm, the wheelbase is 2,592, the width is 1,764, and the height is 1,570. The trunk volume is 376 liters, and with the backs of the rear sofa folded down, the compartment size increases to 1,382 liters. Thus, the car turned out to be 84 millimeters longer than Sandero Stepway, 7 - wider and 48 - higher. Ground clearance (clearance) - 195 mm.

On the version two thousand and nineteen, Togliatti residents slightly modernized the five-door, installing the rear sofa in the cabin a little further and lower than before. This solution was initially tested on the Cross version, and later transferred to a conventional hatchback. As a result, it was possible to carve out an additional 25 mm of free space for the legs of the rear passengers.

As a power unit, X Ray received a 1.6-liter sixteen-valve with a capacity of 106 hp, and a new 122-horsepower engine developed by AvtoVAZ with a working volume of 1.8 liters, which had already been tested on the Priora, became the top-end. Initially, a localized Nissan engine with a capacity of 114 hp was expected. coupled with a Jatco variator, but such a tandem has not yet appeared on the car.

Both engines on the Lada X Rey are paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, and a more powerful one is also available with an AMT robotic transmission. From a place to a hundred, the basic version of the model accelerates in 11.4 seconds, and its maximum speed reaches 176 km / h. A car with a 1.8-liter engine gains 100 km / h in 10.3 seconds (on a robot 0.6 seconds longer), the maximum speed is declared at 179 and 186 kilometers per hour, respectively.

What is the price

Serial production of Lada XRAY started on December 15, 2015 in Togliatti (on the same line with Largu, Nissan Almera and Renault cars mentioned above), and sales started on February 14, 2016. Initially, the car was available only at 120 dealers in 56 major cities, but now it can be bought at any official Lada center.

At the end of January two thousand and sixteen, AvtoVAZ organized a test drive of the hatchback in Sochi, within which the configuration and prices for the new product were announced. Today, the price of Lada X Ray 2019 starts at 609,900 rubles for a car with an initial 106-horsepower engine and a manual transmission in the Standard configuration, while for a better equipped Classic they ask for at least 649,900 rubles.

The minimum cost of X Ray with a 122-horsepower engine is 732,900 rubles, and the most expensive version of the model reaches 842,900 rubles. In addition, earlier, for a short time, the car was also offered with a 1.6 liter 110 hp Nissan engine, but then it was decided to abandon it.

The initial version "Standard" (formerly Optima) has ABS and ESP, front airbags, central locking, on-board computer, front power windows and 15-inch stamped wheels.

The "Classic" package is supplemented by the driver's seat height adjustment, plus there is an option to turn off the passenger air bag, while the air conditioner and the cooled glove box are available for an additional charge in the "Air" package.

In the "Comfort" version, it becomes possible to choose an engine (1.6 or 1.8), and the equipment includes a multifunction steering wheel, electric drive and heated outside mirrors, heated front seats, as well as power windows on all windows. The top version "Lux" boasts light and rain sensors, standard multimedia with navigation, cruise control and parking sensors.
