The new product from Russian designers has already managed to amaze the automotive world with its tactical and technical characteristics, but its appearance is especially impressive. A product that intends to conquer the sales market must have a large assortment of colors. Today AvtoVAZ offers a choice of cars with a body of ten different colors. Lada Vesta Angkor (brown) is included in this list.
The range of shades will soon be expanded, manufacturers officially announce this. In addition, they hold a vote where consumers themselves will choose the appropriate paint for their vehicle.
Color palette of the domestic sedan
The shades of a car's body play a significant role in the overall impression generated when looking at an object. One will certainly blend in with its surroundings, but with an individual accent, while the other will become a leader on the road, attracting a lot of attention. All Lada Vesta colors offered today by dealers are as follows:
- red Carnelian with paint code in the catalog 195;
- Blues in blue tones - paint code 492;
- gray shade Pluto - code 608;
- black pearls for respectable people - characterized by serial number 676;
- gray-blue color Phantom - 496;
- Krypton in dark green, with color serial number 372;
- brown called Angkor - 246;
- silver Platinum - 691;
- Lime, distinguished by its specificity - 366. Purchased in the Lux set;
- White - 221.
Let's sum it up
The variety of colors for the new Lada is amazing today. When next year the entire color palette is finally approved, and a sufficient volume of cars ready for sale appears in dealer showrooms, then it will be possible to loudly and without embarrassment declare that the domestic AvtoVAZ concern has reached a previously unattainable level in terms of bringing a new model to the market. In any case, the proposed range of shades is already attracting increased attention from the press to Vesta, which means it will attract new buyers.
Angkor color reviews
For me, the color palette does not play a special role. I feel comfortable in the Lada Vesta, both black and green. Regarding the brown shade, I can say that it attracts and calms.
So far I haven’t seen much new stuff on the roads. Apparently they don’t trust VAZ yet. The Lada Vesta looks nice in person and in photos, mainly due to its successful exterior. Chocolate Angkor is a purely masculine color for the thoughtful and confident.
Photos of the Angkor-colored body are pleasantly perceived. However, I would not dwell on this color, blue and green are closer to me, and brown on the Lada Vesta makes me sad, in my opinion.
In October, sales of two new station wagons based on the Vesta sedan began: Vesta SW and Vesta SW Cross. For the regular version there are 9 body colors, for the all-terrain cross version – 10 (an exclusive orange color has been added, Mars).
In terms of price, most metallic colors cost 12 thousand rubles, but for the gray-beige “Carthage” you need to pay an additional 18 thousand. The only free one is white enamel. See all prices here
What do the experts think?
According to experts in the field of auto design, the selected color scheme is quite successful and should contribute to the growth of sales of the new sedan by attracting an additional audience. For example, the bright yellow shade “Lemon” is considered feminine and is able to attract the close attention of young girls to the new product, for whom it is important to look not only modern, but also stylish on the road.
The exclusive “Lime” color is also among the popular shades among young people, which will undoubtedly increase the share of buyers under the age of 30. The bright blue shade “Mystery” should also become very popular among young people, giving the car additional elegance that allows it to stand out on the road.

↑ Coloring features
Dark brown Vesta has a guarantee from the manufacturer for anti-corrosion resistance for 72 months. The addition of aluminum powder to the paint turns ordinary enamel into a metallic, reflective one. This color has better resistance to temperature changes, moisture, and exposure to polluted air. The aesthetic and operational characteristics of painting have a solid basis in the form of a phosphate film applied to the metal body. The physicochemical property of 3-ion phosphate is the absence of an oxidation reaction, which is the beginning of rust.
The electroplating method combines metal and phosphate ions into a molecule. Breaking of molecular bonds is possible with a scratch from an impact. Under the influence of sun, frost and water, they retain their stability.
The technological chain of galvanizing the Vesta body consists of three stages:
- preparatory;
- main;
- final.
Preparation consists of cleaning metal parts from traces of corrosion and smoothing out roughness. This is followed by degreasing. The process is carried out either by sprinkling in pickling chambers, or by immersion in a bath with a degreasing solution.
The cathophoresis procedure is carried out in a galvanic bath. The car body is placed in the primer solution. Metal parts of the car are connected to the negative pole of a direct or alternating current source, as a result of which anions, ions with a negative charge, are formed on their surface. In the primer solution, under the influence of the positive pole, positive phosphate ions are formed. Due to ionic attraction, adhesion of anions and cations occurs.

Comparing these cars is one of the saddest tests. And that's why.
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.

The Lada Vesta car is currently one of the most popular among other AatoVAZ models. Many people loved this car for its modern design, increased safety and ease of driving. When choosing a model, it would be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the color variety of these models.

Thickness of paint coating (LPC)
So far, there is no exact information, but since AvtoVAZ is striving for world standards, we can say that the coating thickness will be from 75 to 160 microns. It is with this thickness of paintwork that about 95% of modern cars are produced.
You can determine the approximate thickness of the paintwork using the data available for other VAZ models. So, for Granta this figure is 98 microns, for Kalina it varies from 60 to 90 microns, while for Priora the spread is from 67 to 100 microns. The thickness of the paintwork for LADA Vesta will be approximately in this range.
The manufacturer offers cars in ten tones. Only the white “Glacial” color is made of two-layer enamel, the rest of the options are modern metallic. Each paint has an individual code that indicates its position in the shade palette. Manufacturers say that they plan to expand the color range.
The tone of Lada Vesta varies depending on the model, but there are always dark and light shades, bright and more restrained. The manufacturer has tried to cover as much as possible the range of the most common preferences in choosing a coating. Next we will talk about each color separately.
More details about some shades
- Lada “Eggplant” is a stylish and versatile color option that will suit everyone. The car looks expensive, and at the same time it feels like it is made with taste. The color “Eggplant” is able to impress every buyer from a young man to a pensioner.
- Agate is a beautiful metallic color. Lada Agat will appeal to people with refined taste.
- “Pluto” is what the manufacturers called the dark gray Lada Vesta. This car looks strict and simple, in contrast to the Lime color model.
- “Carnelian” is a red Vesta.
Lada vesta sport 2022
The new Russian car has a very rich color range, which includes options that can satisfy the tastes of completely different segments of the population, both young people (Lime) and the older generation (“Angkor”, “eggplant”). There are options that girls and women will like: red and yellow. And also universal colors that will suit everyone, such as “Pluto” and “Eggplant”.
Nuances
To work in a taxi, paperwork alone is not enough. The following requirements apply to a potential employee and his vehicle:
- Driving experience of at least 5 years.
- Availability of the necessary taxi identification marks (checkers) on the vehicle.
- The presence of an installed plastic lamp with similar markings. In this case, there should be a yellow or orange backlight.
- Availability of a taximeter.
The last requirement is not always relevant, depending on the specific company. Sometimes an organization provides its clients with the service of pre-calculating the cost of travel for a chosen route. As a result, the price of the trip is fixed and does not depend on the presence of traffic congestion.
The difference between SW Cross and regular Vesta
The SV Cross differs from the basic station wagon by the presence of a plastic body kit and wheels with a diameter of 17 inches. The ground clearance has been increased to 20.3 cm (instead of the standard 17.8 cm). The new Lada has already been compared to the Renault Duster crossover. The domestic car is superior to the French “competitor” in terms of length and even ground clearance.
The developers also improved the already good suspension from the regular Vesta, shock absorbers and springs were replaced. This has led to the fact that the Vesta Sw Cross 2022 holds the road and handles even better than the Lada without the “Cross” prefix.
Exterior
The rear door opening has increased, and the window frame has also “raised.” The roof slope has become flatter. This makes the position of passengers in the rear seat more comfortable, because There is enough space between their heads and the ceilings.
The inclination of the rear pillars is the same as on all bodies with a shortened rear overhang - slightly forward. The fifth door connector resembles a shark fin and runs along the top of the pillars.
The body of the 2022 Lada Vesta SV Cross is 15 cm higher than the classic sedan, and slightly wider thanks to the wheel arches. The new Lada is equipped with rear disc brakes. But this update is only for “advanced” versions.
The fuel filler flap now has a central lock, with which it is locked and latched. The protruding “ear” has been removed. The modernization also affected the trunk lock: now it opens and closes using a button. It is located under the license plate.
The design of the antenna has changed: instead of a twig that will remain on the sedan, it finally took the shape of an elegant fin. The exhaust pipe is equipped with a double-barreled nozzle (the base model does not have this upgrade).
The color scheme of the 2022 Lada Vesta SV Cross includes 10 shades. All of them are bright and juicy, which gives the car even more charisma. Each, according to AvtoVAZ tradition, has its own name - “Mars”, “Glacial”, “Black Pearl”. This is a “stretch” of monochrome colors - from pearly white to elegant black, as well as orange and red shades.
Interior
In front, between the seats, there is a box armrest. And the rear sofa is equipped with a folding armrest. The instrument scale has a stylish design.
Inside, the upholstery of the Lada Vesta SW Cross 2022 is made in the same colors as the exterior trim. For example, the shade “mars” is a metallic orange color. Inside the cabin, the standard dark graphite paint on the seats is combined with orange stripes and dark gray accents. The inner sides of the doors and the control panel are decorated in the same style.
The steering wheel comes complete with control units and a massive suspension. The design of the instrument console in the form of three “wells” is just like on sports cars. The central panel has a small display and control units.
The back seat of the Lada Vesta SV Cross 2022 is a three-seater sofa. It is separate, the backrests fold. Wear-resistant materials or textiles are used as finishing. Leather is not used.

Technical stuffing
The Lada Vesta SW Cross 2022 crossover with a new body is equipped with a new 1.8 liter engine. Also, the basic configuration includes VAZ gasoline engines with 16 valves.
The official website presents 2 versions of the engine with a power of 106 l/s (at 5800 rpm) and 122 l/s (at 5900 rpm).
1.6 106 hp; 1.8 122 hp
The 1.8 engine has an index of 21179. It has already been installed on the Lada Vesta sedan produced in 2016. It had disadvantages - knocking hydraulic compensators and too high fuel consumption. But in the new revised version these shortcomings have been eliminated.
The classic automated gearbox is not installed in this version of the Lada. The developers explained their decision by saying that otherwise the cost of the car would have been much higher.
A manual transmission will be installed for the 1.6 liter engine, and a mechanical and robotic one for the 1.8 engine.
The sills and bottom of the 2022 Lada Vesta SV Cross are equipped with anti-gravel protection. The material used for the outer body panels is double galvanized steel.
The safety system includes front and side airbags, head restraints in the rear seats, child seat mounts, automatic door unlocking and activation of the emergency signal in the event of a collision, automatic locking when starting to move on the road, activation of the hazard warning lights during sudden braking, ABS and ESP complexes , light and rain sensors, anti-theft protection, cruise control and ERA-GLONASS, all this puts the new body of the 2022 model year Lada Vesta SW Cross on the same level as competitors from a foreign manufacturer.
How to make a flyover?
The essence of the task is to drive correctly along the hill, stopping and starting from the place where the “Stop” sign is at the entrance to the hill. At this point, a stand is installed at the rear at a distance of approximately 30 centimeters from the car in order to show the moment of competent start of movement from a place on the mountain without going in the opposite direction.
Stages of the exercise:
- Start. The examinee must reach the “Stop” line, which is marked in front of the slide. You can start driving onto the overpass only after a certain signal.
- Start of movement. The driver must start moving and get to the next o. When stopping, you must press the clutch without removing your foot from the brake, turn on the handbrake and disengage the clutch and brake.
- Pulling away. Before you start moving on an incline, you must press the clutch and 1st gear. Then you need to press the gas and wait until the engine reaches 2.8-3 thousand revolutions. After this, you can disengage the clutch and wait until the engine speed drops to 1.2 thousand. Then you will need to release the handbrake without removing your feet from the clutch and gas pedals. The car will start moving.
- Stop. The driver must start from the overpass until the last stop sign. You will need to stop in front of him.
If the slide exercise on the race track was completed flawlessly according to the step-by-step instructions, then it will be counted. But some difficulties may arise when passing this exam.
Glacial has code 221, looks white
Lada Vesta SV cross colors phantom
White Lada Vesta is the most popular option, since the paint is not metallic; in addition to its advantages, it is extremely inexpensive. The strict arctic shade emphasizes the lines of the silhouette, and the black body elements stand out as much as possible against the background of the car. The rear headlights look like a bright fragment - giving the overall appearance a certain zest.
Quite capricious in handling, in terms of chips - on white, the slightest imperfections, dirt, traces of rain are clearly visible. But I must say that the white color is more practical than black, the black Vesta gets dirty quickly - this color is called: “Die with a rag.” Under the rays of sunlight, the white Lada Vesta sedan sparkles like pure snow, laconically confirming the name - Glacier. White color characterizes the Sport style!
