Of course, this is about the Granta Sport modification – three years later, the factory returns this name to the model line. And yet this is a real novelty: firstly, there will now be two body types (a sedan and a liftback, which are shown in the video), and secondly, an engine.
The engine of the new Grants Sport appears to be the well-known 16-valve VAZ-21127, but will now develop 120-122 horsepower. The exact value will be announced closer to the start of sales.

In any case, no serial Grant could boast of such indicators before. The editor-in-chief of “Behind the Wheel” Maxim Kadakov managed to evaluate the car on the road.
How good is this engine? It really opens up at high revs, but it also works great down low. At low revs you drive like a normal Grant, the moment you drive away you have no problems. And at the top, of course, the engine runs great … Quite a powerful engine, – said Maxim Kadakov.
The expert also noted that taking into account the Grant’s sports suspension and all-wheel disc brakes, the Sport proved to be a dynamic car that would be of interest to young people. Sales are expected to start in summer 2023, according to preliminary data.
