Lada Kalina is still the leader in the list of the best-selling domestic cars. And there is an explanation for this phenomenon - Kalina combines quite decent quality and, most importantly, an attractive price.
Savings wisely
In the spring of 2013, AvtoVAZ updated the Lada Kalina lineup. Today the new Kalina has received a modern security system, air conditioning and multimedia system. The thing that motorists have been waiting for so long has taken place - they began to install an automatic transmission on the Lada. All these changes, of course, have an impact on the pricing of the new car.
All official Lada dealers sell cars at the price set by the manufacturer. Therefore, the base cost of all vehicles is the same. But in fact, additional equipment (alarms, music, mud flaps) may already be installed on some cars, anticorrosive made, etc. Such cars will cost more, but this will be a dealer premium.
Be careful when buying a car on credit from a dubious credit institution, so that later, with a careful recalculation, the cost of the car does not double. It is better to use the LADA Finance credit program offered by the leading Russian banks - VTB24, Rosbank and others. Details can always be obtained from the official dealers of Lada and from the branches of the partner banks of the program.
The cost of Lada Kalina
The most affordable variant of the Lada Kalina family is a hatchback on "mechanics" (1.6 liters) in the "Standard" configuration. Prices for such a car start at 327 thousand rubles. A car in the "Norma" configuration with a modernized suspension and rear seat head restraints will cost 20 thousand more. And the same equipment, but already for 370 thousand, includes a passenger airbag and a front seat belt pretensioner.
The 16-valve version on the "mechanics" in the "Lux" configuration will cost the buyer 412 thousand. For this money, you will receive ABS + BAS, fog lights. Already, cars with an automatic transmission will cost much more. Kalina in the "Norma" configuration will cost 445 thousand, and in the "Lux" configuration, the most expensive version will cost 481 thousand rubles.
Family values
Prices for the Lada Kalina station wagon are a real family car, starting at 334 thousand rubles for a car in the basic configuration. And by adding almost 50 thousand more, you can get a car with a climate system, upgraded suspension, two airbags and ABS. Those. for less than 400 thousand rubles you will get a completely "stuffed" car. And this is already a serious competition with foreign cars.
I am glad that the station wagon can also be bought with an automatic transmission. The most affordable version with automatic transmission will cost 438 thousand. And the most expensive version in the "Lux" package costs 488 thousand rubles. For this money, a system of exchange rate stability (ESC), traction control system (TSC), interior noise insulation will be added to all useful functions.
