Today I would like to share more detailed and detailed information about the Lada X Ray salon. After all, this part of the car is usually not given too much attention.
The interior design of the Lada Xray is made in minimalism, a restrained and laconic style. Therefore, lovers of varied abundance inside the cabin of this car will not be to their taste and will find it a bit boring.

Interior dimensions of Lada x Rey:
- Interior height - 1220 mm
- Height from front seat cushion to ceiling - 1040 mm
- Height from rear sofa cushion to ceiling - 960 mm
- Distance from the back of the front seat to the steering wheel - 945..1180 mm
- The distance from the back of the rear sofa to the back of the front seat is 600..815 mm
- Interior width along the front/rear row of seats - 1330 mm
The mirrors have absolutely no covers, curtains or latches. This fact greatly interferes with the process of driving a car, because all the driver’s attention should be focused on the road.
With the visors open, you have to not only monitor the controls, but also be distracted by the “interference” created by the mirror. We solved the problem, so to speak in a simple way, by covering the mirror with a piece of cardboard, effectively and cheaply. Now driving the Lada X Rey on a sunny day has become much more convenient.
I was pleased with the option in the cabin, which makes communication on the phone safe for the driver and pedestrians “hands-free.” This function is activated via the multimedia system, which is located on the steering wheel. It also allows for remote control of the audio system.
The only negative is that after turning on the ignition, tracks from the flash card start playing from the very beginning, and not from the place where listening was interrupted. The problem can be solved by the most common flashing.
Dashboard
The X X Ray panel is made, in my opinion, from a not very practical material - rough plastic. Firstly, the appearance is not presentable, as for a car of this level, and secondly, dust and dirt are quite difficult to remove from it. Of course, these are all little things, so to speak, not for everyone.
I liked the design of the car’s instrument panel, but its information content leaves much to be desired. The device's scales are so dim that it is very difficult to read and see them. The situation is saved by turning on the dimensions; it is at this moment that the shield begins to be translucent from the inside and becomes quite readable.
There are a few other minor shortcomings that could have been foreseen in the X-Ray car. The lack of a central armrest, a heated steering wheel, and illuminated makeup mirrors are the main disadvantages inside the cabin.
The seats, in principle, can be called comfortable, however, in order to achieve this result you had to work hard with their settings
The spatial characteristics of the rear seats are quite good due to their vertical seating. The appearance of the seats is neat and tidy. French frame adds solidity
Parking becomes much easier and easier thanks to the rear view camera
The interior of an xray car, in principle, has no serious flaws that will greatly affect comfort
It would be very good if the trajectory frame was movable. But it will be uncomfortable for the long-legged front passenger, because his leg will rest against the “beard” of the center console. There is an additional storage compartment under the front passenger seat. The presence of two airbags allows you to feel more confident on the road.
To summarize, we can say that driving such a car evokes positive emotions. The basic safety equipment is much higher than that of competitors. Regarding the interior, it is spacious, discreet and laconic. On a scale of ten, you can give it a solid nine for comfort. This rating is due to the fact that there are minor shortcomings in the functions and options of the xRay interior.

I'm pleased with the excellent noise insulation, which allows you to talk without raising your voice, while still hearing your interlocutor well.
In principle, for such a price, it is a completely acceptable car, which in some ways is inferior to its competitors, and in some ways superior to them.
Back in 2012, visitors to the Moscow Motor Show and experts were pleasantly surprised by the presented Lada X Ray Concept crossover. The premiere meant a radically new approach to the future production of cars by the Tolyatti Automobile Plant. Since then, various publications have published rare pictures in which the new product could be seen.
The description of the Lada X Ray and the technical data of the car aroused the widest interest, which continues today. 2014 confirmed the desire of domestic automakers to produce modern, attractive cars - the Lada X Ray Concept 2 was presented, which was already very close to a production model.
Where is the crossover assembled? In December 2015, the serial production of the “high hatchback” B-class began in Tolyatti. X Ray Lada (photo above) has an original interior and exterior design, and is, according to manufacturers, the flagship of the new series of VAZ cars. The B0 line, where production of the crossover began, has been significantly modernized. In the future, it is planned to use automobile manufacturing capacities in Kazakhstan.
Other reviews
Against the background of the constant appearance of new cars on the world market, the Lada Vesta of the 2015 model year is not such a new product. However, it can still be considered the discovery of the Russian car market thanks to its very modern appearance and well-thought-out technical “stuffing”. The sedan's exterior was designed by ex-Mercedes-Benz and Volvo designer Steve Mattin, and was among the first people lucky enough to sit in it.
Cars nowadays don't work on anything. There are even hydrogen ones that literally “live” on fuel cells. Water is, of course, good and incredibly environmentally friendly, but it is still painfully unpopular and expensive to implement. Is it compressed natural gas or, as it is also called, methane in a cylinder, like the new version of Lada Vesta CNG (Compressed Natural Gas)! A gas sedan is cheaper.
5- and 7-seater Lada Largus station wagons appeared on the Russian market in 2012, becoming a kind of continuation of the cheapest Renault Logan model, only under the auspices of a domestic manufacturer. As you might guess, the Logan-like Largus turned out to be the first Lada car built on the basis of the budget B0 platform, on the basis of which a number of Lada, Renault and Nissan models were designed.
If the image doesn’t bother you, you like the ground clearance, like a jeep, and in addition, you’ll admire the large capacity in the form of a 5/7-seater interior and a huge trunk, and “not expensive” - that’s all, we’ve arrived. Yes, not on anything, but on a raised Lada Largus with a talking Cross prefix and, of course, DNA from Renault Logan. This model, first presented to Russians in 2015, has no competitors.
The domestic auto industry never ceases to amaze. For example: when the Russian press first said that AvtoVAZ was preparing a “sports” version of the second Lada Kalina in a hatchback body, it was more difficult to get a new product for a test drive than another Bentley or Mercedes. Amazing, right? For VAZ people there is nothing special about this: not many significant new products are released after all.
What is a 3- or 5-door Lada 4×4 with the Urban prefix? Some kind of supernova Niva? In relation to an off-road passenger car from the glorious city of Togliatti, these words smack of piercing irony. New, of course - it’s been around for almost 40 years, of which 10 years the model has not been called Niva. But somehow I can’t seem to forget about my “maiden name”... So, what does “urban” promise?
It will not be a revelation to anyone that AvtoVAZ literally slept through the SUV boom. And one day they decided to somehow make up for this matter and in the summer of 2014 they presented to the general public the all-terrain all-terrain station wagon Lada Kalina Cross, built on the basis of Kalina 2. In order to become a “Cross”, the model had to survive not only external, but also internal, technical.
Lada XRay: technical specifications
The platform for the car was taken from the Renault Sandero, which already means energy intensity, excellent handling and high ground clearance of the Lada X Rey. The bottom and the power component have changed little. The body received increased rigidity thanks to the subframe, which also performs other important functions. The suspension, body and some components have been modified. The range of engines has changed.
The model range will be represented only by the “hatchback” body type; “station wagon” and “sedan” are not provided. The body was designed with the help of Renault and Nissan using innovative digital technologies. With a common platform with other AVTOVAZ models, manufacturers tried to achieve maximum external differences and improve technical characteristics.
It is stated that the design contains about 600 original parts, which are used for the first time at VAZ. The manufacturer plans that more than 70% of components will be manufactured at Russian factories.
Dimensions of Lada X Rey
Dimensions of Lada X Rey:
- Length/width/height – 4165/1764/1570 mm.
- The wheelbase is 2592 mm.
- The front/rear wheel track size is 1484/1524 mm with R16 wheels and 1492/1532 mm with R15 wheels.
- The clearance of the Lada X Rey is 195 mm when unloaded and 170 mm at maximum load.
- The weight is distributed between the axles in the following ratio: front – 51%, rear – 49%.
- Front/rear overhangs – 830/743 mm.
- The approach/departure angles are 21/34° (without loading).
As you can see, the XRay Lada, the dimensions of which we have given above, can be classified as a front-wheel drive compact crossover.
Lada X Rey pendant
The front suspension of the Lada X Ray is independent, MacPherson type. It has significant differences from all front-wheel drive Lada models produced today. The modified suspension features levers that are attached to the subframe using silent blocks. At the end of the lever there is a ball pin. The rear suspension is a semi-independent torsion beam. This suspension is reliable and improves driving performance.
What engine does the Lada X Rey have?
The manufacturer settled on three possible engine options. All of them are gasoline and quite powerful:
- The basic VAZ-21129, which has proven itself and is widely used in other AVTOVAZ models.
- Modernization of the intake system made it possible to increase engine power from 98 hp. up to 106 hp At low speeds, air is supplied through long intake channels, and at high speeds, through short ones, which ensures a change in the composition of the fuel mixture. The engine works with a 5-speed gearbox from Renault, which is assembled at AVTOVAZ.
- Gasoline engine developed by Renault-Nissan (Nissan calls it HR16, Renault calls it H4M). The development of 2006 is widely installed on cars. The engine works in tandem with a 5-speed manual transmission from Renault.
- The modern and most powerful VAZ-21128 engine. Engine performance has been improved through a redesign aimed at increasing the piston stroke. The connecting rod and piston group from the Federal-Mogul company is used, production is carried out by a subsidiary of AVTOVAZ.
The engine is paired with a robotic automatic transmission. AMT (robot box) is a domestic development. The VAZ manual transmission was taken as the basis, and the German company ZF worked on the control electronics. The box is assembled in Tolyatti.

As you can see, the technical characteristics of the car make it quite competitive in the market and in demand among car owners. Many people are concerned about the question: is the body galvanized? This is an important aspect, so we hasten to reassure you that the body is completely galvanized, which significantly increases corrosion resistance.

Lada Xray Cross new details about the crossover. Lada x ray cross 4x4 latest news
When purchasing tires or wheels for his car, a potential buyer, as a rule, counts on the help of a seller armed with a solid database. This is completely justified - the use of one or another tire size on a certain model logically follows from the design features of the car.
But for those motorists who are forced to purchase tires without such a database (for example, in the event of a wheel failure on a long trip), the inability to read tire markings can become an obstacle to continuing the trip.
And vice versa, if you clearly understand how changing certain tire sizes can affect the performance of the car, you can choose “rubber” based on personal preferences, and not succumbing to the pressure of the seller - as you know, the latter, due only to their authoritative tone, They may not sell you what you need.
Tires and wheels for Lada XRay, recommended by AvtoVAZ
Tire sizes specified by the manufacturer for XRay:
- 195/ 65 R15;
- 205/55 R16.
The Lada XRay in the Prestige configuration is equipped with 17-inch tires and wheels. But the installation of larger wheels entailed a change in the fender liners - on these cars they are installed soft, since when turning the 17-inch tires touched the regular ones.
All cars, with the exception of those in the cheapest configuration, are equipped with alloy wheels - the latter have stamped ones.
In addition to the above, the following tire sizes have maximum compatibility with factory tires:
- For 15-inch wheels: 175/70; 185/70; 205/60; 215/60; 225/55.
- For 16-inch: 175/65; 225/50.
- For 17-inch wheels: 185/55; 195/50; 225/45.
Car enthusiasts who are inclined to improve (so-called “tuning”) their vehicles also install larger wheels, which inevitably entails the installation of lower-profile tires.
How changing certain wheel sizes affects the characteristics of a car, we will consider below. But let's start with the ability to correctly read tire size markings.
Size marking
For clarity, let’s read the inscription on the standard Lada XRay tire, for example: 195/65 R15. It means that the tire has the following dimensions:
- 195 – tire width in millimeters;
- 65 – tire profile height as a percentage of its width;
- 15 – disk size in inches.
The most incomprehensible quantity here is usually the profile height. In fact, calculating it by converting it into understandable units is not difficult: divide 195 by 100 and multiply by 65. The result is 126.75 millimeters.
It should be noted that low-profile “rubber” is considered if its height is less than 50% of the width. When independently choosing the size you require, keep in mind that a deviation of one or another value up to 3 mm will not cause noticeable adverse consequences, and its value is 6 mm and above simply unacceptable.
Profile height
Low-profile tires combined with larger wheels give the car a more attractive (“aggressive”) appearance. In addition, less weight of the wheels will increase the car's handling and stability. But, given the disgusting quality of roads in most regions of Russia, it is impractical to install such tires - when hitting the sharp edge of a pothole in the asphalt, they easily break through. And so much so that even a disk can be damaged.
Tire width
Installing wider tires will increase the car's grip on the road surface, but if the latter is rutting, the car will be more difficult to control. This is especially dangerous in winter, on slippery roads. In addition, cross-country ability and controllability will decrease when driving on loose snow. Wide tires also create more noise when driving and cause increased fuel consumption.
Disc offset
Disc offset is the distance from the landing plane to the outer plane of rotation of the wheel. Here it is generally undesirable to experiment and install disks that have an offset equal to the factory one.
In addition to the fact that installing discs with an increased offset can limit the angle of rotation of the wheel, the load on the wheel bearings will also increase. In addition, when driving on an uneven road, the suspension travel will increase, which will negatively affect its service life.
And, in conclusion, we can say that choosing “tires” for a car is always a search for a compromise between its different indicators and characteristics, and it is important to be able to set priorities – what do you expect from the car and under what conditions will it have to “rack up the mileage”.

Exterior Lada X Ray
When creating the model, the task was to hide the similarity with its predecessors and “co-platforms”. This was completely successful. The car looks stylish, modern and original, while it is memorable and subsequently recognizable at first sight. Car owners like the new corporate X-style and have every chance of further continuation. You can see the details and details in the photo of the Lada X Ray.
Interior and photo of salon
The new body also influenced the interior. A photo of the Lada XRay interior clearly demonstrates that this is truly a modern car. The interior of the Lada X-Ray is quite consistent with the appearance of the car. The interior of the cabin looks noble and modern. Everything is quite laconic - the devices are immersed in wells, on the right is the on-board computer screen. The original ventilation deflectors look stylish. In front of the driver is a four-spoke steering wheel, in top versions there are multimedia control keys on it.
The center console in top versions houses a 7-inch infotainment system display and climate controls. In basic versions, this is a radio tape recorder and control of the “stove” or air conditioner.
The interior is decorated with textured plastics, the seat upholstery is fabric, there are many different places in the cabin for storing small items: pockets, a box under the passenger seat, cup holders, etc.
The front seats have a wide range of adjustments, the rear sofa is quite spacious and roomy. When the rear row is folded, a flat surface is created; under the floor of the luggage compartment there is space for a spare wheel.
The interior dimensions will make the trip comfortable for 4 passengers. Two people will feel quite free in the back, but three people can sit in it. The dimensions of the space in front of the cabin allow the driver and front passenger to feel comfortable, regardless of height and weight.
Trunk volume x Rey
Lada XRAY is a compact crossover (or a high hatchback, as you wish) from a domestic manufacturer. The car, assembled at the Tolyatti plant, went on sale at the very beginning of last year.
During this time, he gained some popularity among car enthusiasts. Of course, there are some shortcomings, but thanks to the low price and wide functionality, some sins can be forgiven. In the article, we’ll talk about an interesting feature of the new miracle of AvtoVAZ - the luggage compartment. Let's look at the trunk x rack in detail.
Trunk dimensions of Lada x Rey
In order to find out how good the trunk is in the XRAY, you need to understand the overall dimensions of the car. The length, height and width of the machine are: 4,164 mm, 1,570 mm and 1,764 mm, respectively. The volume of the luggage compartment in liters is 376 liters.
At first glance, it seems a little small, but if you fold the rear seats, then its dimensions increase to 1,207 liters. And if, in addition to all this, the front passenger seat is folded out, then the volume becomes about 1,514 liters.
The XRAY trunk is not particularly large. In addition to the low loading height, there are also convenient hooks for bags, a double bottom, mounting loops and a 12 V socket. Not a bad set for an inexpensive model
Especially when you compare the XRAY with its direct competitor, the Renault Sandero Stepway, on the basis of which the crossover from AvtoVAZ was built. Despite the fact that the width and length of the French car are slightly larger, X-Ray is 48 mm taller than Sandero.
Based on the average dimensions of the XRAY, we can conclude that the dimensions of the car trunk are the most optimal: there’s simply no point in doing more. In any case, for those who have too little space, the car can always be equipped with a roof rack, of which there are a large number on the market.
Pros and cons of the trunk
The trunk volume of the X-Ray is really small, but if you fold the rear seats, the displacement increases several times, which allows you to transport long cargo, such as skis or construction boards.
Volume is volume, but what about comfort inside the luggage compartment? Everything here is quite good: there is nothing superfluous in the trunk, the floor is perfectly flat, and the wheel arches are hidden from the owner’s eyes and do not protrude from the sides. The top shelf can be removed if necessary.
The luggage compartment is lined with high-quality, durable plastic; the compartment is illuminated in the form of a small lamp located on the left wall.
There are also small hooks on the walls so that you can hook the shelf. An interesting feature of the trunk of the Tolyatti crossover is the double floor.
It sounds tempting, but in reality, this is an almost useless and not very convenient function. The only positive aspect of the “double bottom” is the presence of clamps in the upper part. They make it possible to secure cargo with special straps so that it does not “ride” around the trunk.
Lada X Ray trunk photo
The back of the rear sofa in XRAY folds at a slight angle, which is not very convenient, because the loading area is uneven. But the rear bumper does not protrude beyond its plane. This makes it easier to load things inside the trunk and reduces the risk of damage to the bumper.
Directly in front of the trunk there is a metal protruding part of the body, a kind of threshold. The fact is that this threshold is simply painted, there are no linings on it, which threatens this part of the trunk with scratches and abrasions.
x ray photo of interior and trunk
The engineers overlooked this, because even the Niva had plastic linings in that place. The rear door of the car, leading to the luggage compartment, turned out to be quite weighty, sometimes you need to strain a little to lower it. But thanks to its weight, the door closes easily, even if you release it in the middle of its trajectory.
Results
Concluding the review, I would like to say that the XRAY trunk is fully consistent with the specifics of the segment. Of course, there are a couple of unpleasant details in it that are not so much annoying, but rather simply cause slight bewilderment.
Otherwise, this is a completely optimal solution for such a car. AvtoVAZ engineers did a good job, both on the overall design of the car and on the luggage compartment. After all, there aren't many tall hatchbacks on the market that offer this kind of boot space.

Lada X Ray Cross
It is already clear that I would like to see a car that has the characteristics described above (suspension, engine, body geometry, etc.) in a 4x4 version. The all-wheel drive version was announced by the manufacturer for a long time; the start of production was planned for 2021. Judging by the description, the SUV was supposed to have similar technical characteristics and design, and the Renault Duster was supposed to serve as the basis for it.
However, according to the latest data, the project has been frozen. There are no plans to release a car with all-wheel drive. Therefore, there is no need to guess what kind of drive the new product will have. The Lada X-Ray Cross will have front-wheel drive and the same dimensions, the only difference being the presence of basic roof rails and a plastic body kit.
Cost of a new car
The all-wheel drive model is adapted to Russian roads. The vehicle is equipped with a reliable directional stability system, has increased maneuverability and a high degree of safety. The cost of such a car is 700 thousand rubles.
The advantages of the machine are:
- decent power engine;
- strong suspension;
- good sound insulation;
- spacious trunk;
- high ground clearance.
In the city the car consumes about 10 liters of gasoline. The 1.6 cc engine develops power up to 110 horsepower. The mechanical transmission is borrowed from Renault. The engine and transmission of the car are of Tolyatti origin. Ground clearance is 195 millimeters. High ground clearance allows you to easily overcome any city curbs. Due to the fact that the stabilization system transfers torque to the other wheel when one wheel slips, the vehicle has good maneuverability.
The luggage compartment has a capacity of 320 liters. However, with the rear seats folded down, its volume is 772 liters. Under the trunk there is a special recess for the spare wheel. On its side wall there is a niche covered with a plastic lid where the jack and wheel wrench are stored.
The styling of the car represents a new and rather attractive face of the current domestic manufacturer.
Due to the fact that the new Lada has regained its previous chain drive, there is no longer a need to frequently replace the timing belt. This version of the Togliatti car is equipped only with front-wheel drive. Testing of the new 4×4 all-wheel drive model is now being completed. The price of a car with only front-wheel drive is 650 thousand rubles.
The Xray's closest relative with front-wheel drive is the Renault Sandero. The independent front suspension received MacPherson struts. The rear semi-independent is equipped with a torsion beam. The 4x4 all-wheel drive vehicle is based on the French Renault Duster crossover. To engage all-wheel drive, a rear multi-link device is used.
Since the beginning of 2021, about ten thousand units of these Lada cars have already been sold. This sale significantly exceeds the result that experts predicted.

Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of the car include the following performance characteristics:
- high ground clearance,
- reliable chassis;
- powerful engine;
- modern stylish look;
- equipped with modern safety and driver assistance systems;
- acceptable price.
All this makes the car popular and in demand. It’s too early to talk about shortcomings; we need to wait for feedback from the owners. However, something can be noted now. The technical characteristics of the car have already brought it so close to SUVs that all that is missing from this segment is all-wheel drive.
The new Russian crossover Lada X-Ray is positioned by AvtoVAZ as another breakthrough in the domestic auto industry, which can compete with the best foreign models in its price category. The appearance of the car, which was very carefully developed and thought out to the smallest detail, received a lot of positive feedback. But after studying the appearance, you immediately want to look inside. This begs the question of how good the Xray is on the inside, does the interior design match the exterior?
Results
Thus, the machine is unique in its nature. Being a new breath of Lada, it has truly earned its rightful place in the hearts of car enthusiasts.
On the one hand, the lack of the latest technologies can upset a demanding owner, on the other hand, it significantly reduces the final bill for maintenance and repairs (of course, unless we are talking about body repairs, which will break all records in terms of cost).
The variety of fillings and the desire for perfection definitely deserve the respect and praise of the manufacturer, whose actions demonstrate the desire to please his customer.
In general, the Lada xRay model turned out to be very successful, and is quickly gaining popularity in the Russian market.

First impression of the salon
Considering that the Xray doesn't look particularly large from the outside, the interior may seem cramped, but once you take a look inside, you'll realize that's a misconception.
There is a lot of free space inside the Lada X-Ray.
- Five adults can comfortably sit in the cabin of the new Lada X-Ray and drive without feeling any discomfort or inconvenience during long trips and travels.
- Inside the Lada X-Ray, a feeling of freedom and spaciousness is created thanks to the proper arrangement of seats. The overall impression is also influenced by the impressive height of the ceiling. Even a very tall driver feels quite comfortable.
Seat quality
The seats in the Lada X-Ray are very interestingly designed and look attractive. The expensive configuration uses genuine leather upholstery. There are inserts depicting the new Xray style symbols in the form of an “X”.
Features of Lada X-Ray seats:
- the driver's seat in all trim levels has a height adjuster;
- top trim levels of the Lada X-Ray are equipped with heated driver's and front passenger's seats;
- all seats have safe, comfortable and securely attached headrests that provide reliable protection for the passenger's head in the event of an unexpected impact from the rear of the vehicle;
- equipped with modern seat belts that meet all modern international quality standards.
The rear seat of the Lada Xray has proportions of 60 by 40. It can be folded, resulting in space for large luggage of enormous size. After transformation, the interior turns from a comfortable means of transporting passengers into a cargo pickup truck. The luggage capacity in the standard rear seat position is 380 liters. Capacity with the seat unfolded increases to 700 liters. The rear doorway in the Lada X-Ray has a very large area, which allows you to load large cargo into the car. The trunk in the Xray is finished in matte plastic, which has a very reliable structure and is pleasant to the touch.
The front seats in the Lada Xray are very comfortable and comfortable, they are spacious and have enough legroom. Special sidewalls are attached to the seats to increase the comfort and protection of the passenger. At first glance, the dimensions of these sidewalls are small, however, it is thanks to them that the body of the passenger and driver is securely fixed during various maneuvers and sharp turns. The seats of the Lada X-Ray are designed taking into account human physiology, so they do not cause so much joint pain during long journeys.
Trunk Lada X Ray volume, features, modification options
The trunk is an important element that tips the scales in one direction or another when deciding to buy a car. Especially a family vehicle, when it is necessary to regularly transport items such as a baby stroller or bicycle, or a large supply of groceries for the dacha. All this was taken into account when creating one of the most popular domestic car models - Lada X Ray
An important characteristic of the luggage compartment is not only its volume, but also the ease of loading and unloading, the possibility of transformation, and fixing the lid
Trunk characteristics
The new AvtoVAZ model Lada X Ray compares favorably with other cars of this manufacturer not only in appearance, but also in its impressive size:
- the length of the car is 416.4 cm,
- height 157 cm,
- width 175.4 cm.
With such dimensions, the designers were able to create a large, functional trunk without much difficulty:
- volume 376 l,
- length 790 mm,
- 900 mm wide
- 400 mm high to the luggage rack.
An important parameter is the opening of the lid, which determines the dimensions of the transported goods. In Lada X Rey it is quite impressive: it is 80 cm high and 90 cm wide.
The X-Ray trunk lid can be easily opened using an electric drive; you just need to press the lock button. The tower is 181.5 cm above the ground, which allows most people to easily walk under it without fear of being hit. The absence of a rear trunk wall makes loading and unloading the car very convenient.
If you need to transport cargo up to 170 centimeters in length, you can easily increase the capacity of the luggage compartment by folding the rear seat backs, and its useful volume will increase to 1,207 liters. With the rear seats folded down, the trunk can easily be used to sleep two people of average height, who will be quite comfortable. If you need to transport a large amount of cargo, you can fold the right front seat, which increases the useful volume to 1,300 liters.
For ease of use of the trunk space, a raised floor is provided. If necessary, it can be easily removed, and the car owner has access to the lower floor covering and spare tire. Eye bolts are installed at the corners of the raised floor, serving as fastening elements for rubber halyards, nets and other systems designed to secure cargo.

The trunk of the Lada X Rey, despite its impressive size, can be significantly improved by installing additional accessories, such as organizers, which can be purchased at spare parts stores. The most popular organizer for X Rey is the one that is installed under the trunk shelf. It serves to store things and prevent them from randomly rolling while the car is moving. The organizer itself does not take up space, allowing you to easily reach your packed items. It is easy to install and remove, as it has a simple plastic design.
You can make a convenient organizer with your own hands, installed under the raised floor. This accessory is made from a sheet of plywood; to improve its decorative qualities, the parts are covered with artificial leather or covered with other decorative materials. Drawings of parts for manufacturing the structure are shown in the figure.

A very useful addition will be a special pad on the lower part of the trunk opening, which protects it from damage during loading and unloading operations.
The cover is made of ABS plastic, which has high strength characteristics, is scratch-resistant, and looks beautiful. The protective element is easily attached to the lock eye and the trunk seal. It would be a good idea to purchase a rubber mat that will protect the carpeted surface of the luggage compartment from contamination.
To protect the interior from extraneous noise penetrating through the trunk and resulting from impacts from gravel, stones, water and air flow, it is advisable to soundproof the compartment. For this purpose, you should purchase special soundproofing kits; their parts are easily glued to the bottom of the trunk and are made according to special patterns. As a rule, this is a three-layer coating consisting of a vibration-proofing layer, a substrate and a sound insulator.
Lada X Ray is one of AvtoVAZ’s best-selling models, and its spacious luggage compartment, which can easily be transformed to transport various cargoes, plays a significant role in this. Small modifications to the trunk and useful accessories will make operating the car more comfortable.
