2006–2009 Lada Kalina 1119 Specs & Performance

The 2006–2009 Lada Kalina 1119 brought the Kalina’s practical small-car formula into a more versatile five-door hatchback body. Its compact dimensions make it naturally suited to everyday urban driving, while the upright rear section adds useful flexibility compared with the sedan. The car keeps Lada’s straightforward front-wheel-drive layout and uncomplicated mechanical character, creating a sensible balance between easy maneuverability, passenger space, and day-to-day practicality without chasing unnecessary complexity.

Power comes from a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter four-cylinder producing 80 hp and 89 lb-ft, paired with a five-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive. It reaches 103 mph, while the hatchback offers 235–545 liters of luggage capacity depending on the rear-seat configuration. That combination of compact size, five-door access, and flexible cargo space gives the 1119 a practical advantage over the closely related sedan.
