Note: At the beginning of production, the cars were equipped with a 2105 engine with a working volume of 1.3 liters and a toothed belt drive of the gas distribution mechanism. Part of the cars (mainly export) was equipped with a model 21073 engine with central fuel injection. These engines are not currently produced and are not discussed in this section of the site.
The VAZ-2107 is a passenger car, five-seater, four-door, with an all-metal load-bearing sedan body.
The engine is located longitudinally in the front of the car. The clutch drive is hydraulic. The gearbox is mechanical, three-shaft, five-speed (four-speed on early production cars).
Torque from the gearbox to the rear drive axle is transmitted via a two-shaft cardan transmission.
The front suspension is independent, multi-link. The rear suspension is dependent, with a rigid beam connected to the body by one transverse and four longitudinal reaction rods.
The vehicle's service brake system is a dual-circuit hydraulic drive with a vacuum booster. The front wheel brakes are disc brakes, and the rear ones are drum brakes. The parking brake is a manual brake with a cable drive to the rear wheel brakes.
