Project development [edit | edit code]

The cost of developing the car was about 6.5 billion rubles. The first body of the pre-production Vesta was welded on November 5, 2014 in Izhevsk. On February 6, 2020, the first LADA Vesta body was welded and painted in Izhevsk using serial technology [4]. On September 25, 2020, a ceremony was held to launch mass production of the model [5].

It was assumed that the sedan would go on sale first on November 25, 2020, then the hatchback [6], but later the plan was changed, and in 2020 mass production of the station wagon and its off-road version began.

The Vesta sedan is offered to Russian buyers in three main trim levels. Initially, it was planned that the car would cost about 400 thousand rubles, but then AvtoVAZ President Bo Andersson decided to increase the cost to 500-550 thousand rubles [7]. On November 24, 2020, the final minimum price for the car was announced - 514 thousand rubles. As of December 2020, the price of a car starts from 529 thousand rubles. At the end of November 2020, the price of the car starts from 554,900 rubles.

On August 29, 2020, the head of AvtoVAZ, Nicolas More, said that the company abandoned plans to produce a hatchback due to possible intra-brand competition with the XRAY model [8]. On September 19, 2017, AvtoVAZ began accepting orders for Vesta SW and Vesta SW Cross station wagons.

On January 31, the LADA Vesta Sport appeared with a 1.8 liter engine producing 145 hp. With. This is the first Lada after 1998 worth more than 1 million rubles [ source not specified 90 days

The release of a restyled model, Lada Vesta FL, is planned for the end of 2020 - beginning of 2020. In this configuration, Vesta will receive a completely new front panel, door cards and central floor tunnel. The interior of the car will also undergo changes - a huge multimedia system tablet will appear, with which the air conditioning unit is combined. Innovations will also affect the exterior of the car - new bumpers and radiator grille, plus a different design for the front optics and rear lights.

Safety

Seat belts with squib.

Driver airbag + passenger airbag with deactivation function (depending on equipment).

Body rigidity - 18500N.m/degree. It is worth noting that this is a very decent indicator; the car has the right to be called safe!, as recent crash tests have shown.

Emergency warning system ERA-GLONASS (on all trim levels)

Lada Vesta in the line of the domestic giant AvtoVAZ is a progressive and promising car. It is designed to replace the previously popular flagship Priora model on the assembly line. The manufacturer initially included considerable overall body dimensions in its new creation, which in its class can be regarded as an attempt to gain leadership.

Let us remind you that Lada Vesta is a product of joint activity between AvtoVAZ engineers and the world-famous Renault-Nissan concern. For this car, the developers did not spare technology and created a completely new platform, which will serve in the future to create various modifications of the model. Thanks to such a base, the Russian car began to look very attractive. It acquired genuine monumentality and balance, which could not be seen in previous models. This aspect was directly affected by the dimensions. Thanks to their increase, passengers became much more comfortable inside the cabin, again in comparison with previously created models, where the dimensions were more modest.

VAZ-21129

The VAZ-21129 engine model has significantly more power and attractiveness. Unlike the VAZ-11189, this variation with the same engine volume of 1.6 liters has a power of 106 horsepower. The main difference leading to this difference in power is the number of valves. On the VAZ-11189 there are only eight of them, but in this version there are sixteen.

This engine of the new Lada Vesta will, in all likelihood, be available in the basic configuration, while for Grants and Priora it was installed only in Luxury vehicles. However, taking into account the greater mass of Vesta, the maximum speed and acceleration of the car are unlikely to be more powerful and pronounced than that of the same Priora on the VAZ-11189.

It is known for certain that the Lada Vesta hatchback will be equipped with power units of this type, and the VAZ-21129 will be available when purchasing the “Classic” model complete with a manual transmission. In general, the engine performs well on Russian roads. The only thing you should pay careful attention to is the timing belt: if it breaks, the engine valves can quickly become unusable. If you avoid such problems, the durability of the Lada Vesta engine is quite long.

The disadvantage of the VAZ-21129 is the high level of noise generated, which, among other things, is not always even. After prolonged use, an engine, even in relatively good condition, may begin to knock and trip.

Comparison with other models

The overall dimensions of the Lada Vesta consist of several parameters. The length of the Lada Vesta is 441 cm, which allows it to have sufficient space inside the car. The width of the Lada Vesta is also greater than that of other VAZ models. Thanks to this, passengers and the driver do not feel pinched in the shoulders. To really evaluate the advantages of the new sedan, it is enough to compare it with other domestic cars produced today by the AvtoVAZ plant:

Products from the Dustershop77 range on the topic of the article:

HR16DE-H4M

At the same time, it is not the most powerful engine that will have the highest price. More expensive than all the others in the line will be the imported engine installed on many Nissan cars, labeled HR16DE-H4M.

It’s worth immediately identifying the technical characteristics of the HR16 engine for Vesta. It has a volume similar to the “younger” versions of VAZ engines - 1.6 liters, but its power is 114 hp. - The engine is not bad at all. Even from a fairly heavy car (which, undoubtedly, Vesta should be considered due to its solid dimensions, close to class C), such a unit is capable of making a fairly mobile and high-speed car - which, undoubtedly, is very important both for city residents and for those who often travel abroad. city ​​of drivers.

It is worth noting the high level of reliability of this engine. According to automotive experts, its durability with careful use and regular maintenance is almost one and a half times higher than that of a standard VAZ unit of the same volume.

This engine is planned for installation on the Lada Vesta coupe - thanks to it, the car will acquire expression and some claims to sportiness.

Whether the Lada Vesta will be available for sale with the option of installing a diesel engine is not yet entirely clear. Diesel engines are more economical - therefore, plant designers should think about this issue one way or another.

Only one point is unclear: will the VAZ-11189 engine be installed on the Lada Vesta, or will its use be finally recognized as having no particular meaning? According to many authoritative automotive experts, 87 horsepower for Vesta’s dimensions is really not serious, and for this reason, most likely, the VAZ-21129 will be the “junior” engine used for the “Classic” and “Comfort” trim levels.
