How much does a VAZ (Zhiguli, Lada, Niva) car weigh? How much does a passenger car weigh? Gross weight of VAZ 2106.

VAZ-2106 Zhiguli/Lada 1600/Lada 1500L/Lada 1300SL - four-door five-seater a car with a sedan-type body and rear driving wheels. One of the most popular models of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant.

When in 1976, at the plant in Togliatti, they mastered the production of the VAZ-2106 model, which was redesigned for domestic operating conditions from the RAT 124 Speciale of the 1972 model, no one could have imagined that it would become the most popular and mass-produced product of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant.

The “Six” differs from the VAZ-2103 in a more powerful 80-horsepower VAZ-2106 engine with a displacement of 1.6 liters, a different electrical circuit and a modified design of the body and interior. Thus, the front dual headlights received plastic “glasses”, the radiator trim was changed, there are different bumpers with plastic “fangs” and “corners”, the rear lights are combined with license plate lighting, plastic “gaskets” between the radiator grille and headlights. Compared to Moskvich cars, these 5-seater sedans, distinguished by better dynamics and a truly comfortable interior, were the height of comfort and prestige for wide sections of car enthusiasts in the USSR. In the late 1970s, the VAZ-2106 immediately gained fame as a “chic” and fast car, but expensive and less “practical” than other Zhigulis. Decent dynamics for that time (maximum 150 km/h and 16 seconds to 100 km/h), embossed seats with headrests, an instrument panel with a tachometer and excellent sound insulation - there was something to appreciate.

In 1979, the plant launched the production of less powerful modifications of the VAZ-21061 with a 1.5 liter 71-horsepower VAZ-2103 engine and VAZ-21063 with a 1.3 liter 64-horsepower VAZ-21011 engine. They were not popular among the people, but the scale of their production increased (especially 21063), and in conditions of Soviet shortages, the consumer had to put up with the combination of an expensive and heavy body with weak engine, which noticeably worsened the dynamics. Since 1980, Ozone carburetors of type 2107 began to be installed. Changes in electrics due to changing technology occurred constantly. In 1977, cars began to be equipped with new terminals and wiring connections, and since 1986, a new relay has been installed.

In 1982, the first modernization of the car was carried out. The VAZ-2106 began to be equipped with modernized 75-horsepower (according to the new GOST) VAZ-2106 engines. Reflectors were no longer installed on the rear wing along the molding line. In 1988, the exhaust system was modernized: it was equipped with a disposable gasket and nut.

In 1990, VAZ introduced a kind of Lux package - VAZ-21065 with a standard VAZ-2106 engine with a contactless ignition system, a Solex carburetor (21053-1107010-03), halogen headlights, improved upholstery and other seat headrests. This modification was produced with a 1500 engine, "five" bumpers, electric heating rear window, a more powerful generator, a five-speed gearbox. Export modifications of the VAZ-21064 differed in appearance from the VAZ-21065 in bumpers with built-in turn signals and a slightly different electrical diagram. Since 1985, first for export modifications, then sometimes for “domestic” ones, they began to install a 5-speed gearbox of the VAZ-2112 type, and later of the VAZ-21074 type, which significantly reduces fuel consumption on the highway and engine noise.

By the end of the 1980s, this model, with modifications, remained the most widespread and popular in the VAZ program. Of course, it was no longer considered prestigious, but the good memory of the first family of Zhiguli cars supported a steady demand for the “six”. It was not even affected by the dominance of the low-power modification of the VAZ-21063 and the sharp deterioration in the quality of assembly and components in the 1990s. Over time, the car became so affordable that it became an unpretentious “workhorse.” He also has a permanent army of fans. However, now the VAZ-2106 is gradually losing ground, primarily due to the obsolescence of the design and interior, as well as the rather low driving qualities organically inherent in the classic layout. Nevertheless, the “six” has every chance of celebrating its quarter-century anniversary on the assembly line.

Thin doors without impact bars no longer fully respond modern requirements in terms of safety, and the high level of noise in the cabin of the latest models does not indicate poor insulation, but defects in the engine and transmission, which is now by no means uncommon, as is the destruction of the beam front axle. Such was the quality of components on the VAZ... Moreover, with the loss of prestige of the model, moldings were no longer installed on modifications with the cheapest equipment, and in general they reduced chrome in decoration to a minimum, which nevertheless did not make the car more modern (especially since fashion I have returned to chrome in car decoration again). A significant drawback of such configurations is the lack of electric heating of the rear window.

The most unfortunate detail of the interior design is the thin and slippery steering wheel. However, on model 21065 there is also another, more modern, smaller one. The family heirloom - four headlights in rectangular double “glasses”, have already gone so out of fashion that, one might say, they again give the model a certain “charm”. In general, despite its moral old age, the VAZ-2106 can be considered the optimal “first car” in life.

Review

VAZ 2106 is a five-seater sedan with four doors and rear wheel drive. For a long time remained one of the most popular domestically produced cars.

The first models went on sale back in 1976. It was a redesigned RAT 124 Speciale. No one thought at that time that the “six” would become in mass demand for several decades.

Today specifications VAZ 2106 is not perceived by us as something special. The main thing is that the car moves. But in the late seventies, auto industry enthusiasts were delighted with the powerful (at that time) 80 engine. Horse power. The owners of the Shokha proudly stated that its engine capacity was as much as 1.6 liters.

Compared to the VAZ 2103, many changes were introduced to the six. A different power supply circuit, a different body shape, and interior equipment. For example, the headlights had “glasses” made of plastic, the radiator was lined differently, and fashionable plastic bumpers with “aggressive” corners and fangs were installed at that time. The rear license plate was illuminated by lights.

The owners of the Moskvich were envious of the good dynamics and comfortable interior. What we perceive today as a “collective farm” was perceived in the early 80s as the height of comfort and the personification of prestige.

Just imagine, the VAZ 2106 was perceived by society as a fast, luxurious and expensive car. Nothing remarkable in our time, 150 km/h with an acceleration of 16 seconds to one hundred seemed something incredibly cool. The seats were equipped with headrests and had a relief shape, there was a tachometer on the instrument panel, and the body was equipped with sound insulation!

The car has undergone several upgrades:

1982. New engines for 75 horses, brought in accordance with the new GOST. The reflectors on the rear fender have been removed.

1988. The exhaust system has been improved: a gasket and a disposable nut have appeared.

1990. A Luxury package has appeared (version 21065). The engine began to be equipped with BSZ, the carburetor was supplied as a Solex, the headlights became halogen, more comfortable headrests appeared, and the interior upholstery was improved. The rear window was heated, the gearbox operated on five levels, and the generator acquired increased power. Drivers could feel a decrease in fuel consumption on the highway and a decrease in engine noise.

By this time, the car ceased to seem luxurious and expensive. In the late 80s, the six became the most popular VAZ model. The plant could now afford to reduce production costs by reducing engine power and adhering to lower standards of build quality and components.

What once seemed luxurious but not practical has become an affordable workhorse. The 90s were the years of an unprecedented rise in the popularity of the VAZ 2106 at the beginning and a gradual decline in demand towards the end of the decade. The design of the car became obsolete, and the interior no longer seemed surprising and prestigious. Ride quality has long been low compared to modern competitors.

And the manufacturer began to gradually “lose ground.” In pursuit of high margins, the plant sharply lowered the level of production quality. Poor insulation, transmission and engine faults led to high level noise while driving on the highway. The front axle beams began to crumble. The moldings were removed and the amount of chrome was kept to a minimum. The heated rear window has been removed. And the steering wheel became thin and slippery.

The passenger car has a rear axle drive and a sedan-type body (four doors). This model is a continuation model range, which began with the no less famous “penny”. The predecessor of the “six” is the VAZ 2103. If you compare them, you can find many similarities. For the first year, the Lada “six” and “troika” were even produced at the AvtoVAZ plant at the same time.

But in 1977, the story begins, which completely supplanted its predecessor both from the assembly line and from the market. The six was equipped with several types of engines: 1.6 l (80 hp), 1.5 l (74 hp), 1.3 l (64 hp). The history of the car goes back three decades, during which time a lot has changed in it, although not all for the better.

The main thing is that the appearance remains, exactly the way that car enthusiasts liked it. At the end of 2001, AvtoVAZ completely closed the conveyor on which the “six” was produced. It was converted to produce a more promising and modern “ten”. But management could not afford to close the VAZ 2106 project, so the model was produced by IZH-Auto until 2006.

Differences between the VAZ 2106 and its predecessors

In 1974, the style center of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant began developing a new project, which initially bore the name 21031. This is where the history of the famous VAZ 2106 car begins, which lasted 30 years. It’s just that a modification of the “penny”, VAZ 21011, was recently developed, so we decided not to fantasize too much about the name. Among the requirements for the model were the following:

• reduction in the number of parts coated with chrome;
• improvement of optics with minimal design changes.

The appearance is a classic of the time. There is a lot of black plastic, fashionable at that time, in the exterior. V. Antipin developed the design of the car, and V. Stepanov designed it, which were subsequently used on other models. If compared with the “troika”, the “six” received the following changes in appearance:

• bumpers have been modified;
• the wheel caps are different;
• the front end of the car has been significantly improved;
• turn signal repeaters appeared on the sides;
• ventilation grilles in the rear pillars;
• and most importantly, the emblem of the Zhiguli plant appeared.

• door trim and armrests;
• on the front seats, the headrests can be adjusted in the vertical plane;
• an alarm appeared in the controls;
• on the right hand there is a switch that allows you to control the windshield washer;
• The dashboard lighting can be adjusted in brightness using a special rheostat;
• indicator notifying that the level of brake fluid in the reservoir is low.

The classic VAZ 2106 in those years also had a luxury package, which differed from the simple version by the presence of a radio, rear window heater and rear fog lamp.

Engine and transmission

The 2103 engine was rebuilt especially for the new model. The diameter of each cylinder was increased by 3 mm, and this gave an increase in volume of almost 0.3 liters. As a result, the working volume became 1.6 liters. Torque increased by 12 percent, but failed to achieve 80 hp. With. It all came down to the design of the intake system, which the experts decided not to change. Therefore, the classic VAZ has many interchangeable components, which simplifies repairs.

The history of the gearbox is also interesting, because for the “six” its own gearbox was developed, which a little later began to be installed on Niva SUVs. By analogy with the car of the third model, they decided to produce the “six” in two versions with engines of lower power. If you carry out detailed review model, you can see that in the body there are fastenings and holes for the pedals and steering wheel on the passenger side.

The model was also produced for export to countries with driving on the left. December 1975 is the beginning of the era of the “sixes”; it was then that the first test car rolled off the VAZ assembly line. Almost 3 months later, it entered production, and by the end of 1976, it was the VAZ 2106 that became a three-million-dollar car. So many Zhiguli cars were produced by the plant during its short existence.

History of changes to model 2106 over the years of production

The entire history of the model has many changes appearance and interior. True, they are all very insignificant. Those who are interested in restoring a VAZ 2106 to its original form should look at the year of manufacture. Only after this can the machine be restored. So, after 1980, all cars began to run on Ozone carburetors.

When the “troika” left the assembly line, the VAZ 2106 began to change its moldings. Instead of chrome, plastic ones were used, there was no edging on the wheel arches, and the reflectors that had become familiar disappeared from the rear wings. Even the nameplate, which originally had an attractive cherry background, suddenly changed to black. The chrome grilles on the ventilation holes were replaced with plastic ones.

By the end of the 80s. The VAZ 2106 car has already undergone many changes; it was possible to buy a car that was somewhat worse in functionality than the one produced a decade earlier. Instead of lights, cheap reflectors appeared in the doors. It's convenient, but not so beautiful.

From the “five”, rear drum brakes came to the VAZ 2106, and the wheel caps were gone, as were the canopies between the bumpers and the body to protect against dirt. In the early 90s the index parking brake began to light up constantly, although before that, when the handbrake was pressed, a relay was turned on, causing the lamp to blink.

Over the course of its history, the machine became simpler and cheaper to produce. They even tried to remove the moldings, although they were a peculiar feature of the “six”. However, they were quickly returned to their place. By the end of the 90s, the VAZ 2106 car had changed greatly; most of the chrome parts disappeared from it, since they were very expensive to produce.

Seat belts began to be used only inertial ones, and the steering wheel was taken from more modern modifications of the VAZ 2105. Even electric windows could be ordered at will: they would be installed from the factory. In 2000, the history of the model continued at IZH-Auto. It was during these years, the last for the “six”, that absolutely all chrome parts were abolished: the radiator grille and rims on rear lights. Car prices continued to rise, although the quality of cars became noticeably worse.
