Regarding how to visually distinguish the new Lada Vesta 2022 from models of previous years, if you do not take into account that the configurations and prices have been changed, then this can be done, firstly,
by a more expressive nameplate on the radiator grille, and, secondly, by drawing attention to a more stylish interior.
Regarding the technical part of the sedan, first of all, these are two gasoline, as well as the presence of one gas-gasoline version of power units and corresponding gearbox engines, including such a box as the AMT robot, and also, starting in the fall of 2019, a CVT .
But more on this a little later, but now, we’ll remind some, and we’ll inform others about the parameters of the Lada Vesta.

Dimensions
According to the Lada Vesta documentation, its body dimensions are:
- 4 thousand 410 mm – length;
- 1 thousand 764 mm – width. Excluding mirrors;
- 1 thousand 497 mm – height.
The degree of spaciousness of the interior is usually not reflected in the documentation. But, due to the fact that the competitive environment forces a comparative analysis of the comfort of the driver and passengers, therefore there are measurement results reflecting the comfort of the interior of a domestic sedan.
As for both volumetric and dimensional parameters of the trunk , then again the volume of 620 liters of cargo capacity can be found in the documentation. But the dimensions of the trunk have an unofficial status. They are equal (according to Autoreview magazine):
- 573 mm – luggage compartment height;
- 937 mm – length of the cargo compartment;
- 1 thousand 039 mm – width of the trunk in the narrow part;
- 1 thousand 424 mm – width at the widest part;
- 717 mm – loading height;
- 1 thousand 675 mm is the length of the luggage compartment if you fold the sofa.
In addition to cargo data, the Russian car user is very interested in ground clearance to determine the car’s ability to overcome the obstacles of rural roads when traveling to visit his mother-in-law. So, the ground clearance of the Lada Vesta is declared by the manufacturer to be 171 mm, which, in general, indicates a purely urban use of this sedan.

Lada Vesta engines
As already mentioned, under the hood of the Russian sedan you can find both 1.6- and 1.8-liter gasoline power units, respectively, with 106 (110) and 122 (123) horses, as well as combined ones that run on both gasoline and gas 1.6 liter engines with 106 horses in teams.
At the same time, the consumption of 106-horsepower engines is 9.2/5.4/5.9, 122-horsepower units are 10.4/6.2/6.9, and combined gas-gasoline engines are 8.0/5.1/5.9, respectively, in the city, on the highway, in mixed traffic, in liters fuel for a hundred miles.
As for the configurations where 1.6-liter 16-valve power plants are installed, this ranges from the basic Standard, including Classic and Comfort configurations, to such an assembly as Luxe (with Prestige and Multimedia packages).
Power units of 1.8 liters (and, to be precise, 1.77 liter engines) go to more prestigious trim levels, starting with Comfort, including Luxe and ending with the most top-end assembly such as Exclusive.
Regarding gas-gasoline units, they are installed on such assemblies, starting with Classic, including Comfort and ending with Luxe.

As a summary: about the prospects of the Lada Vesta with a CVT
As for the fashionable trend of CVT transmissions, the national characteristics of our user auto audience are to constantly confirm historically established opinions that they say, what kind of Russian does not like aggressive driving.
Therefore, the variator is too intelligent a unit for our brother, and it is too expensive to change it over and over again due to breakdowns due to aggressive road behavior.
Based on this, it is unlikely that the manufacturer will install a CVT on the Lada Vesta 2022 en masse, despite the fact that since November 2019 this sedan began to be equipped with a Jatco CVT paired with a Nissan engine of 113 horses.

Changes to the exterior and interior
The list of all innovations is not limited to this. So, according to sources at the enterprise, there will be changes in the exterior of the new Vesta: the front and rear optics will change, the windshield washer nozzles will shift to “jabot” (now they are located on the hood), the bumpers, radiator grille and trunk lid will take on a new shape and offer a different design for wheel rims, however, the shape of the sidewalls of the body with branded X stampings will remain the same. By the way, on Vesta Sport the windshield washer nozzles have already been placed in a new place.
Photo sketches of the interior of the updated Lada Vesta from AvtoVAZ. The screen will of course be smaller, but the general essence of the innovations is clear. On the other hand, such drastic changes are more likely to be expected in the new Vesta body
in interior of the West and it is significantly different from the current one: the floor tunnel in the center, door cards and the front panel itself will change, the multimedia system will acquire a large “floating” tablet combined with a climate control unit. A niche for a smartphone will be added to the console below, and optionally a wireless charging function. The gear shift lever will have a new design, next to the cup holder compartment there will be an electric handbrake button (yes, yes, the classic handle will be a thing of the past) and, possibly, a Ride Select system selector. Both the armrest and the seats are the same, but the steering wheel will become a little smaller and more attractive in terms of design. The instrument cluster has a pair of wells and an enlarged on-board computer display. The shape of many decorative elements, door handles and ventilation deflectors will also change.

Some things remain the same
The new engine and the innovative variator made it possible to leave the ground clearance the same without the car losing the old-format ground clearance of 178 millimeters. At least something survived in the heat of transformation and alteration.

All the features of the new body
In the photo of the new Lada Vesta cars, it is immediately obvious that everything has changed dramatically.
The dimensions have grown: +60 x +84 x +77 and steel 4410 x 1764 x 1497 millimeters. The wheelbase for the sedan increased in height by +143, i.e. has become significantly larger than 2635. Now passengers in the rear seats will be much more comfortable on the road. There will be room for your legs.
The distance between the axles has increased significantly, so it required compensation. Otherwise, such an important indicator as the passability of the geometric variety would suffer. We had to increase the ground clearance by 13 mm (ground clearance for this car model). The indicator became 178 millimeters.
The trunk volume was also pleasing. It added 15 liters of cargo space. This figure increased to 480 liters.

No feet needed for smooth running
The chassis of the new model is also capable of surprising car owners. Platform B retained the same schematic diagram, but the mounting points were optimized. At the front there is an L-shaped lever made using industrial stamping technology. It displaced the two lower control arms of the forged type. As a result, parameters such as the smoothness and controllability of the car while driving have improved.
