Vestonomics: choosing the optimal version of Lada Vesta


In two years, the Lada Vesta car managed to gain recognition among many car enthusiasts in Russia and other countries of the world. The reason for this is that the model is generously equipped with various security systems and modern devices, which meets European standards. On the Lada Vesta website, configurations and prices are presented in the form of several tables, where all versions of equipment are indicated. In addition, the official website has detailed information describing the appearance and main parameters of the representative of the AvtoVAZ model range.

Main overall dimensions and parameters

Lada Vesta is a 4-door spacious sedan, the interior of which is designed for five people. In 2022, the AvtoVAZ concern plans to release a restyled version of the sedan and begin sales of a new body version - the Lada Vesta station wagon.

The characteristics of the Lada Vesta sedan are presented below:

Technical characteristics of Priora NFR

In fact, the new product should be a deeply redesigned European Peugeot 508 of the current generation. Priora NFR will retain the power structure of the prototype body and a significant part of the hinged panels. The front fenders, headlights, radiator grille, hood and bumper should be new. The car will retain frameless side doors. This will allow the exterior design to be brought to the corporate VAZ “X-style”.

In the manufacture of the car, high-strength steel grades will be used en masse, which will provide the body with high rigidity combined with low weight. This will make the car safe and economical. The prototype of the model, the Peugeot 508, scored the maximum five points in the Euro NCAP safety rating.

In terms of handling, the Priora should also not be inferior to its competitors. The car will receive an independent front suspension. At the rear, depending on the version, there is a torsion beam or a multi-link design. The rear beam will be equipped with diesel modifications intended primarily for taxis. The lack of a complex multi-lever in simple versions should not be a problem. The French have long been famous for their ability to correctly configure even the simplest suspension, squeezing the maximum out of it. At AvtoVAZ, it is worth noting, they are not inferior to them. Tolyatti engineers endowed Vesta with an excellent combination of comfort and handling with a fairly high ground clearance. Obviously, there should be no problems adapting the vehicle’s chassis to Russian operating conditions. Priora NFR will be equipped with wheels with disc diameter

Powertrains and transmission


Vehicle power unit Today, Lada Vesta is equipped with two four-cylinder 16-valve gasoline engines:

  • the base 1.6-liter power unit has a capacity of 106 “horses”;
  • a more powerful 122-horsepower engine of 1.8 liters in volume.

Vehicle performance depends on many factors, including the selected transmission.

106 hp, 1.6 l, manual transmission106 hp, 1.6 l, robot122 hp, 1.8 l, robot
Acceleration 0-100 km/h (s)11.214.112.1
Maximum speed (km/h)175178186
Average fuel consumption per 100 km (l)6.96.67.2

In 2022, it will be possible to equip more powerful 122-horsepower engines with manual transmission. The new Lada Vesta will accelerate to hundreds in 10.2 seconds, and its top speed will increase to 188. Average fuel consumption in the combined cycle will be 7.5 liters per hundred kilometers.

Why did you choose the EMP2 platform for the Priora in the new body?

According to the source, the choice of a third-party platform was caused by the need to load the assembly plant in Kaluga. This site is jointly owned by Stellantis and Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi itself has recently been part of the Renault-Nissan concern. All this makes the partnership of the two corporations a completely logical move. Stellantis currently assembles commercial vehicles and outdated Peugeot 408 and Citroen C4 models at this car plant. Demand for the latter has dropped to almost zero. In order to revive production, fresh models are needed. This could be the relatively affordable Peugeot 2008 crossover, which is currently being imported to Russia. The model is based on the EMP2 platform. At the same time, mastering the production of cars on a new platform is quite risky. If you fail to achieve high sales figures, the project may turn out to be unprofitable. Russians have not been favoring French brands lately.

From the above, it becomes clear that the production of a model on a new breed platform by the well-known Lada brand in Russia can be a good safety net. Full-size sedans are in good demand in our country, subject to a reasonable pricing policy. Take, for example, the extremely successful Toyota Camry and Kia K5. The new Lada Priora should be in no way inferior to its competitors with a more humane price tag, which means we can fully count on stable demand. Moreover, the price of foreign cars has grown very much over the past year (by 20% only according to the RRP), and there are also markups from dealers.

At the same time, the reputation of the Lada brand has grown greatly in recent years. Successful models like Vesta have proven themselves to be very good. Even the Lada Granta, after a series of modernizations, has become significantly better in terms of consumer qualities. The release of a higher-class model, which should be the new Lada Priora NFR, seems to be a completely logical move in such a situation.

The Classic package is equipped with the Start package, the Comfort version has an Image and Multimedia package, and the Luxury version has only Multimedia. The minimum configuration of the car is already equipped with all major security systems. How much the 2022 Lada Vesta costs in one configuration or another can be found on the official website page.

New AvtoVAZ

The new Lada Vesta model in a “universal” body has long been discussed in media sources and on automotive Internet portals. Photos of the Lada Vesta in its new guise presented on websites have caused heated discussions among car enthusiasts. Photos of the interior are very similar to the current interior of the sedan. The similarity in size and appearance is largely due to the fact that the station wagon will be assembled at the same plant in Izhevsk where the sedan is currently being assembled.

Most likely, the new Lada Vesta, like the sedan, will be equipped with three configuration options. What a real station wagon will look like will become known in the near future. The start of sales is scheduled for this fall.

The price for Lada Vesta starts from 514 thousand rubles.

Let us remind you that Lada Vesta has 3 configurations:

In total there are 16 variations with various packages and options. The creators of Vesta have tried their best to meet consumer demands, but their work is not finished yet: as Vesta is released and sold, the consumer’s desire is analyzed, thereby creating new, more profitable configurations.
