VAZ 21099 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1990–2011) — First Generation
When choosing a first-generation VAZ 21099 sedan, consider how its powertrain suits your usual journeys. On an older car, engine and gearbox condition can matter as much as the version you choose.
The 1.3 MT and 1.5 MT are examples of VAZ 21099 powertrains combining a gasoline engine, manual transmission and front-wheel drive. You select the gears yourself, with downshifts helping on hills or when overtaking. A test drive should reveal whether acceleration feels adequate and gear changes are smooth.
