Lada Vesta SV Cross which color is better

The Russian decided to take a tangible step towards the progress of color. That is, to significantly expand the palette of shades for the Lada Vesta SV car. After the announcement of this model, interest was at a high level, because the body colors were able to please all motorists. Let's try to look at each shade in more detail. Let's find out the features of the entire color palette and how they improve the exterior of the Lada Vesta SW.

A total of 9 different shades are available. They differ from each other, increasing the buyer's choice. Car dealerships do not focus on anything specific, but still try to best suit the tastes of motorists.

Cornelian

The color scheme begins with the defiant carnelian. This metallic red tops all shades because it attracts the attention of others. It is impossible to take your eyes off the rich red color. It turned out to be in the best traditions of the executive class. Definitely suitable for people who need a positive opinion from friends who will appreciate this coloring book.

Lada Vesta – color “Carnelian”

Carnelian is a bright red paint with a metallic sheen. Red cars have always attracted attention - bright, catchy, often popular with young drivers and women. High-quality coating cannot be ignored in traffic. Pros. It's a bright car, with minor chips not noticeable. High-quality paint is resistant to corrosion. Cons. Some people find the tone too catchy and distracting on the road.

Reviews

Yuri: “I think this color is vulgar, I would never buy a red car, and such a bright one.”

Natasha: “Excellent paint - it doesn’t get scratched by branches, the thick coating allows the car to keep its beautiful appearance for a long time.”

Potap: “It seems to me that this is a color for women who like to stand out. A man in such a car looks at least strange.”

Carthage

Metallic beige is an excellent alternative to dirty white. Here we can talk about greater practicality on the roads of our country, where dust quickly stains the body even in the best weather. Carthage rightfully ranks high among bright hues when it comes to the average consumer's color choice. Lada Vesta SW in this version looks presentable, but subject to constant water procedures (washing).

Blue is not the most common color on the roads. However, it remains practical for urban environments. Small amounts of settled dust do not spoil the exterior at all. In any parking lot, blues stands out from its darker competitors. Finding a car is often not difficult. The absence of blue does not allow for comparison between shades.

Lada Vesta - Lime color

Bright green paint is offered only to those drivers who have decided to purchase a Luxury package or a tuned car. It was in this tone that the car was presented to the president. Pros. Lime looks bright, sporty, modern. On the roads, such a car stands out and attracts attention. Cons. For such a fret you will have to pay about 19 thousand rubles. Lime is quite rare - finding paint is not easy.

Reviews

Alina: “I’m very happy with the car! At first I doubted whether it was worth paying extra, but now I don’t regret the decision at all.”

Nastya: “Beautiful color, shimmers in the sun, and stands out on the road at night. Due to the light green color, the car looks more sporty and aggressive.”

Alexander: “I accidentally caught the side door - I was looking for paint for a very long time, when I found it, I was unpleasantly surprised by the price.”

Pluto

The most popular are the dark gray ones. Although black is still beyond competition. Pluto reserves the right to a premium look, but at the same time allows you not to get lost among friends. Some problem areas on the car body that have lost their presentability can be quickly restored with the help of simple tools, so the use of Pluto is definitely suitable for most novice motorists.

Black Pearl

Lada Vesta SW of this version looks several classes higher. Sitting behind the wheel, you feel the increased status, but the large logo on the front spoils the impression a little. The black pearl is quite easily soiled in any season. If you maintain impeccable cleanliness, then compared to more premium brands, Lada Vesta SV will seem like a worthy competitor. There is no need to talk about exclusivity: .

Platinum and phantom

Silver and gold always go shoulder to shoulder. For extraordinary individuals, these options are the only opportunity to match a certain style that is unique only to the owner of the car. It is also worth noting a number of difficulties in selecting the right paint in case of an accident to eliminate its consequences. It is difficult to talk about practicality with prolonged use, but this entirely depends on the driving style.

Angkor

The brown color of the Lada Vesta SW is becoming increasingly popular. The demand is partly determined by the realities of off-road conditions, which can be found even in the middle of the city. Clay is clearly visible in all shades except Angkor. Lovers of country trips are impressed by the opportunity to stay clean for as long as possible. When you arrive at the garage, there is no need to immediately grab the hose and start washing.

↑ Hidden meaning in the name of the Carthage color on the Lada Vesta

The manufacturer gives names to paints for Vesta, which contain a conceptual principle.

Carthage is a state of the pre-Christian era that stood on the path of Roman conquests in Africa. The Romans made repeated attempts to destroy it and, in the end, achieved their goal, after which they conquered all the lands in the African Mediterranean. This was a breakthrough in their imperial ambitions.

Vesta station wagon, crossover, is also an attempt by AvtoVAZ to break into the category of manufacturers of middle-class cars that are competitive with foreign cars in all respects: technical equipment, design, color. In this way, the manufacturer makes it clear that he will not stop achieving his goal. This breakthrough will not mean stagnation on what has been achieved; the model will continue to improve.

The abbreviation SW (Sport Wagon) stands for sports van. Designed for Russian conditions, it “breaks” the established stereotype regarding this type of car: it is no longer a sedan, but also not a hatchback, and not a station wagon in its pure form. The new body tone creates a charismatic image: strict, smart, aimed at movement.

Attention! Compared to the sedan of the first releases, the Lada Vesta SW, SW CROSS in the Carthage version has positive changes in the internal design, build quality, and additional functions, but the main idea of ​​the model is preserved.

An example is the arrangement of the trunk. With the same volume, it has become much more convenient and functional. It has organizers, hooks, nets, and a two-level floor, which allows you to distribute things with comfort. The trunk lid is now opened with a button on the fifth door.

Rear-seat passengers now have more space thanks to an increase in roof height by 25 mm. There is now a convenient armrest with a hinged lid where you can put coffee. On the back of the front armrest there is a USB port for charging phones and laptops, and heated rear seats in three ranges.

The doors began to open and close more smoothly. A set of antennas on the roof are hidden in a shark fin. The seal on the hood has been improved, the gas tank cap is now blocked from the ignition switch.

The car is equipped with a 1.8 engine with a 5-speed manual transmission made in France. The car listens well to the steering wheel and is stable when cornering. The crossover has a ground clearance of 18 cm, which allows it to overcome off-road conditions. The elastic front suspension prevents the car from swaying.

Lada Vesta Cross SV: technical specifications

In most technical parameters and details, there is complete similarity with the sedan.

The Lada sports car is equipped with a 16-valve petrol engine with a volume of 1.6 and 1.8, distributed injection and four cylinders, which produces 106 and 122 hp. respectively, with a torque of 148 and 170 Nm. With its weight, it accelerates to 100 km in 11.2-13.3 s. The maximum speed reaches 172 and 180 km/h on different engines.

Cross SV is a car with front-wheel drive. The transmission is represented by a 5-speed robotic automatic transmission and manual transmission. A characteristic feature is the independent MacPherson-type front suspension, which has been modified to strengthen it. All brakes are disc. The steering wheel is adjustable and also has electric power steering. All-wheel drive equipment was never installed, although the model has off-road capabilities. The development of this project was postponed indefinitely due to circumstances and other costs.

It is worth noting the ease of access to all internal parts in case of repairs, for example, when replacing spark plugs.

The remaining technical parameters of the Lada wagon are presented in the table.

It is possible to convert the car to a gas engine and use natural gas – methane – as fuel.

↑ Reviews about the color Carthage

Attention! Car enthusiasts appreciated the noble restraint of the Carthage, although the price of a car in this color is confusing, and preference is given to less expensive paints.

“I saw the Vesta Carthage in the photo and decided that this was the only one I would buy. Should receive it in 2 months. I hope that the color won’t disappoint me in real life.”

“I really like the car’s appearance: the light gray Carthage “sits” on the body like its own skin. Neither subtract nor add. A very practical color. Dirt is practically invisible. Vesta itself is also pleasing: throttle response, accelerates easily, good brakes. Driving at a high angle, you feel like the car lacks power. Otherwise, everything is very good.”

Lada Vesta - glacial color

A beautiful and sophisticated white tone is a classic AVTOVAZ. Many people like light-colored cars, but you need to carefully monitor their cleanliness. This car is chosen by both women and men, young drivers and people with extensive driving experience. Pros. Always looks elegant and festive. The white color hardly shows any chips or scratches. Looks stylish and modern at any time. Cons. Stained color - it is necessary to wash the car often so that it does not lose its appearance.

↑ Lada Vesta color palette

The range of Vesta colors has been replenished with two shades: Carthage and Mars. Mars is a bright orange tone. This color can be ordered for one modification of Vesta: Lada Vesta SV CROSS. The Lada Vesta SW station wagon and the Lada Vesta SW CROSS SUV are produced in Carthage coloring.

Other Vesta body shades:

Traditional colors are white, black, silver (glacial, black pearl, platinum). Shades of gray - Pluto and Carthage. Orange-red bodies – carnelian and mars. Dark chocolate shade - Angkor.

Green tones are krypton and lime. Dark blue is blues, light blue and orange are phantom, silver is platinum.

The names have a deep meaning. They either characterize the shade or determine the value of the model.

The color white, renamed glacial, creates an association of pure arctic whiteness.

The black mother-of-pearl body is a hint of an expensive, sophisticated item.

Carnelian is red with an orange tint. The mineral, after which the enamel paint is named, has been revered since ancient times as a stone with magical properties. These same qualities, according to the manufacturer, should be transferred to the car. Its owner will feel more confident in the general traffic flow.

Mars is the god of war and aggression. The latest development of AvtoVAZ, the Lada SV CROSS in this color carries a charge of energy that is not found in other modifications.

A phantom is an elusive and mysterious image. A car painted in this way is unrecognizable when the brightness of the light changes: from bluish to sparkling orange.

Angkor is the repository of the deity. The dark chocolate tone carries solemnity and life affirmation. This type of machine requires special care to maintain its appearance.

Lada in lime color means the most expensive package. The cheerful and slightly frivolous appearance of the handsome car attracts young drivers hungry for adventure.

Blues. A musical style characterized by modulations and a philosophical mood. Metallic blue shades evoke the mysterious depths of the sea.

The silver body is an uplifting color that indicates the quality of the car.

The metallic tint of krypton and pluto gives the shades depth and nobility.

Lada Vesta SV CROSS in Carthage color is a car striving for future achievements.

LadaVestaCross with silver Platinum color

This is a metallic shade, so it shimmers beautifully in the sun. Less dirty than white, the silver tint visually enlarges the car, making it even larger.

Perfectly suitable for both men and women. On the one hand, it looks solid and strict, on the other, a warm and gentle shimmer makes the car delightful.

The Lada Vesta body is painted using modern technologies. First, a layer of high-quality primer is applied to the galvanized metal using cataphoresis. This metal treatment process prevents corrosion from affecting it.

The wide color palette of the Lada Vesta is not only the development and merit of the management of the automobile concern, it is also the painting features. Thus, the process of painting the body of a Lada Vesta car model is carried out using modern technologies. At the very beginning, a thin layer of high-quality primer is applied to the galvanized metal surface - applying it using cataphoresis. This allows you to protect the metal from corrosion and destruction in the future.

Since manufacturers have taken great care in developing the range, the consumer can have the opportunity to choose from a fairly large assortment.

• dark green "Krypton";
• gray-blue “Phantom”;

↑ Painting technology

The technological process of painting a body includes two main stages: priming and painting.

Important! Phosphate priming of metal products is good protection against corrosion.

Phosphoric acid forms salts with iron and zinc, which is used in phosphating surfaces.

Phosphates do not combine with oxygen, so they are not destroyed under the influence of water, atmospheric air and aggressive environments, and can withstand temperature changes from -75 to 500 degrees.

Priming includes several stages:

At the first stage, the surface is cleaned of traces of corrosion, degreased, washed and dried. For this purpose, sandblasting machines, pickling, washing and drying chambers are used.

The process of applying primer is carried out using the electrochemical method in a galvanic bath. Metal parts of the body are anodes due to the supply of a negative charge to them from a direct or alternating current source. The primer solution has a positive charge. Phosphate cations are deposited on the metal, forming an ionic compound. The process takes up to 20 minutes, forming a film up to 20 microns thick. At the next stage, the primed products are washed and dried and sent for painting.

Production began back in September, but all the cars were sold out in one week.

There is no single date; dealers will hold their presentations within two months.

Both cars will enter the market at the same time, but with different price tags: let’s find out whether it makes sense to overpay for the crossover version.

There is less than a month left before the start of sales, we are finding out whether the new Vestas are worth considering for purchase.

The all-terrain cross modification will cost at least 775.9 thousand rubles, sales will start on October 26.

The first photos of the Vesta SW interior also appeared.

Sales will begin next month.

Closer to the start of sales, more and more station wagons are seen on the roads.

Platinum color reviews

This image creates a very pleasant impression. The car slightly takes off the clothes of sporty aggression and acquires some severity, like a German car.

Evgeniy, Cherepovets

I liked the photo of the Lada Vesta in platinum color. If I buy a Lada Vesta, this body color will be the first thing people will pay attention to. This color should be chosen by people who know their worth and suspect their capabilities in society.

Anton, Krasnodar

I always bought cars with this Platina color. It is neutral and does not irritate neighbors on the road, and the car looks more impressive with it.
