Features of the Carthage color on the Lada Vesta Cross car

"Carthage must be destroyed!" (Plutarch)

Just 2 months ago, sales of a new product from the domestic automobile industry—the LADA VESTA Cross SW station wagon—started, but the car has already gained real popularity in Russia. I’m not afraid to say that AvtoVAZ finally got down to business and released something really worthwhile. I would like to pay special attention to the body colors of the Vesta, which look very stylish and not poppy. I especially liked the color Carthage Lada Vesta Cross, which looks modern and fresh:

Carthage is otherwise called Beige metallic and most likely it will be written that way on the car’s title. On the official website LADA.ru this color is described as follows:

“Bright and practical. A sparkling and at the same time solid shade evokes the whole gamut of positive emotions: from confident calm to admiration.”

I’ll say right away that the Carthage color on the Lada Vesta SV Cross looks very interesting. On a sunny day, the car plays and sparkles with colors. The color itself approaches in its shade closer to gray. But if you look closely, you can see the full depth of color. On the contrary, in the dark or on a cloudy day, Vesta in Carthage color looks strict and practical. I would like to compare this color option with the mood - in good weather it is bright and playful, in cloudy weather it is strict and serious.

By the way, the color Carthage Lada Vesta Cross SV is one of the most expensive. If you want Vesta in this color, you will have to pay an additional 18,000 rubles on top of everything else. I can’t say whether it’s expensive or not, since this is everyone’s business. I probably wouldn't pay more for this paint option and would buy the station wagon in a different color.

Lada Vesta black

Black cars are the most common on the roads.
In the AVTOVAZ palette this tone is called “Black Pearl”. Looks solid on the road, suitable for any driver. Due to the high quality of the coating, you don’t have to worry about corrosion for 6 or more years. Pros. A classic that suits everyone. There will be no problems with the sale if necessary. Finding paint won't be difficult. Cons Even the smallest damages and scratches are very visible on black; maximum care must be taken to make the car look like new

Reviews

Kirill: “I have a black car, and as for me, this is the best option, especially for men. Looks solid."

Nikolai: “You constantly need to wash your car. Driving in the rain - welcome to the car wash. “Besides, the branches scratch a lot, my car is three months old and there are already several scratches on the body.”

Valery: “I like a black car, I’m now choosing what color to take the car, and I’m leaning towards this option.”

Lada Vesta – Pluto color

Lada Vesta Cross 2018
A metallic shade of gray, but darker than the usual tone. Glistens well under the sun's rays. Makes the car visually more expensive. Pros. A stylish shade that is not so often found on the roads. Small dirt does not stand out much on the body, metallic adds shine. Minuses. This kind of paint is not always easy to find; it is not a popular shade. Additional payment - 12000 rub.

Reviews

Sergey: “I took a car of this tone - I’m completely satisfied. The appearance is very stylish, perfect for a business person.”

Evgeniy: “It’s not so difficult to choose paint, but it is advisable to look on the Internet, since it costs a lot of money in stores. Generally speaking, this shade of gray is very suitable for the Lada Vesta.”

Victoria: “I spent a long time choosing between pluto and just gray, but I decided to choose pluto. I have absolutely no regrets, I think that a lighter car would have gotten more dirty.”

Special color

Lada Vesta St. Cross

Separately, I would like to highlight the “Phantom” shade, which has a chameleon effect, thanks to which the body color changes depending on the viewing angle. This type of painting technology is used on VAZ models for the first time, which also makes Lada Vesta a unique product of the domestic automobile industry.

However, this is not all that VAZ is going to surprise the Russian public, which is not accustomed to the abundance of innovations. Already today, along with traditional methods of painting the body, AvtoVAZ designers are developing various options for combined painting using two contrasting shades. Not long ago, a sedan version with a white body and a black roof was demonstrated to the public, which immediately received high marks from the designers and positive reviews from Lada fans. In the future, several more combined options are expected to expand the color range, but you should immediately take into account that with such a color the price of Vesta will inevitably rise.

Design plans for the future

In the future, the concern plans to refine the model. The manufacturer announced that it is planned to release a modification of the off-road station wagon, which will use the 4x4 formula with all-wheel drive. Experts believe that this will lead to a change in appearance, and unique touches will appear in the body. The line equipment will also be improved.

At the moment, the most expensive Exclusive option is available only for the sedan, but off-road and civilian station wagons in this configuration will be put into production quite soon.

The changes will affect not only the equipment, but also the exterior. Buyers will also be offered bi-fuel Vestas, which will partially have some changes in design.

LADA Vesta has made a lot of noise since its first presentation. Russian drivers could not believe that the domestic manufacturer was able to radically change its products and were incredibly happy when they announced the start of sales of the model.

But the euphoria did not last long - many minor defects, defective parts and thousands of reviews, thin metal, creaking plastic and other shortcomings incredibly upset buyers.

AVTOVAZ admitted its mistakes and not only corrected them, but significantly improved the model and has already offered consumers a whole line of updated Vesta.

↑ Choice and additional payment for color

Lada Vesta colors: you need to know the palette and codes

The only free shade is white, produced under number 221. For all other colors of the Lada Vesta, the company charges an additional fee. So, for example, the shade “lime” is the most unique and unlike all other tones, so you will have to pay an additional 35 thousand rubles for it. And even if this is a considerable amount, it is impossible not to look at such a car when passing by it.

As for all other shades, the manufacturer charges much less for them, namely 12 thousand rubles. On the official AvtoVAZ website you can see what a car will look like in a particular solution, which makes choosing a car much easier.

New paint coating technology

The use of exclusive colors is not the only innovation of AvtoVAZ.
To apply the paint, the company's specialists used a high-quality primer as a basis, which is applied to the car using innovative technologies that protect the car body from rust. As a result, consumers will receive a machine with a unique coating and increased wear resistance characteristics. The only drawback of the unique chameleon-type coatings is the lack of simple color design in case of need for body repairs. If the car was damaged and received chips or scratches, then restoring the original surface will not cost the car owner cheap. In addition, everyone who expresses a desire to purchase a car with metallic paint will have to pay an additional 12 thousand rubles to the cost of the car.

Every buyer can decide on the color when buying a car by looking at different photo options of the Lada Vesta body on various Internet portals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ8ir3Hc52o

No sooner had the triumphant march of the updated Lada ended than information appeared about the release of the Vesta in phantom color. The new shade, completely different from others, caused a stir among ardent fans of Volga cars, as well as ordinary citizens. This article will tell you what it is, the color “ghost”, how resistant to abrasion and how durable it is.

↑ 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 Carthage design has positive changes in the internal design, build quality, additional functions, but at the same time 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.

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.

Survey of car enthusiasts

Previously, the management of the concern decided to find out the public’s opinion on what body color the West should have. At the beginning of the year, a survey regarding color preferences for the new model was launched on the manufacturer’s official website.

An important role in choosing a model is played by its color.

According to the owners of this model, they chose it with their hearts and desire to drive a high-quality domestic car that can be purchased at an affordable price. And that the Russian car will become a serious competitor for many well-known foreign manufacturers.

Body color "Phantom"

The color scheme of new AvtoVAZ cars never ceases to amaze even the most experienced car enthusiast. Most of the body colors are metallic, which in itself is an achievement and discovery for the domestic manufacturer. But AvtoVAZ presented several more new color solutions for its cars. To strengthen the surface and improve anti-corrosion properties, on the Lada Vesta the plant began to use a new body painting technology using cataphoresis. Cataphoresis is the most technologically advanced way to protect a product from corrosion. This technology allows AvtoVAZ to extend the warranty on the protection of the car’s coating for six years, which, again, is an innovation for the Russian automobile industry.

↑ Coloring features

Lada Vesta Cross 2020
Dark Brown Vesta has a manufacturer's warranty 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.

After completing the process of applying the protective film, the body is rinsed in washing chambers and kept in drying chambers.

In the painting chamber, a robotic complex paints the car body using the spraying method. It is then placed in a drying chamber.

Before being sent to the conveyor, each product undergoes a control inspection for defects, which are corrected manually.

Attention! Thanks to the primer film, the thickness of the coating has been increased by a quarter, which explains the increased corrosion resistance of the Vesta body and the ability for the manufacturer to provide a guarantee for the body

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. Minuses

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.”

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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

Exclusive solutions for the CNG version

This year, VAZ engineers also presented a new model LAda Vesta CNG. A distinctive feature of the car is its dual-fuel engine, capable of running on both gasoline and methane. The 1.6-liter engine was equipped with methane gas. Visually, the car does not differ from the standard modification, but some details are visible in the interior. A switch from one type of fuel to another will be located on the center console, and the level of methane consumption and gas range will be displayed as a function of the on-board computer. The 90-liter tank is located in the trunk, thereby reducing its useful volume to 390 liters.

When driving on methane, engine power and torque drop by 10 units. However, with two tanks fully charged, the car can travel more than 1,000 kilometers. At the same time, the cost per kilometer of travel when driving on methane will be 1 ruble.

The model will be assembled at a plant in Izhevsk, the same place where other variations of the car are assembled. The gas version is available in the following colors:

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. Minuses. Stained color - it is necessary to wash the car often so that it does not lose its appearance.

Leonid: “A very beautiful white car - the bright, light color lifts my spirits even in the rainiest and cloudiest weather.”

Marina: “I’ve always loved white cars, they are bright and festive. But, of course, they require appropriate care.”

Colors of LADA Vesta Cross SW - Mars, Carthage, Phantom

Here is the entire list of Lada Vesta Cross SV colors: Mars, Carnelian, Angkor, Carthage, Blues, Phantom, Pluto, Black Pearl and Platinum. Among the names given there are metallized enamels, for which you will have to pay an additional 22 thousand rubles, and there are ordinary glossy paints. To get the Carthage color, you will have to shell out another 18 thousand rubles on top.

Mars.

This is the same orange metallic that was created specifically for the new product. Reflects dynamism, originality, passion and a sense of adventure. was used to film, which has already made a splash both on the Internet and on TV. This is the most impressive enamel in the Vesta Cross SV line, according to the majority of respondents.

Cornelian.

It's flashy! It personifies the energy and bright design of the new product!

Glacial.

This is a glossy body color, which, although not the most spectacular, is very practical and respectable. The white enamel goes well with the car's black exterior details and taillights.

Angkor

is a chocolate “metallic” that combines an attractive balance between the bright colors of the exterior details and the severity of the black and gray palette.

Very impressive color of Lada Vesta Cross SV - Carthage

Carthage.

A very striking light color, but nevertheless very practical. The paint plays very nicely in the sun, and at the same time it remains solid and not flashy. Causes moderate calm and admiration. By the way, for those who want to purchase, they will have to pay an additional 18 thousand rubles on top.

Blues.

This is what a deep body of water or sky has before a clap of thunder. A very complex and deep color, just like the blues, after which this shade was named.

Phantom.

This is the color I want to talk about! When I saw it for the first time, I couldn’t believe that AvtoVAZ started using such enamels. This is a real chameleon that shimmers from golden brown to bluish. You want to look at this color for a very long time, it doesn’t get boring and looks really very stylish. If all the colors of the Lada Vesta Cross SV were rated on a ten-point scale, then I would give this color a solid 12 points!

- This is another shade of gray Lada enamel. The usual strict color, but no less stylish, especially with the “X-shaped” body features of the West. Suitable for those who do not want to stand out from the standard flow.

.

I immediately remembered the ship of the same name from Pirates of the Caribbean. Why this color was called that way is unknown to me. However, the color is very strict. Requires maintenance, but will never go out of style. Looks especially cool with chrome body elements.

Platinum

- classic “silver”. This is not to say that the color is boring, but it cannot be called unique either. I would say this is the most practical color of all. Micro scratches and dust are not very visible on such a surface.

Well, that's all! We looked at all the main colors of the Lada Vesta SW Cross

Thank you for your attention and see you again! The Lada Vesta sedan has already been evaluated many times and from various angles, offering a comparison with competitors, a review of technical innovations or a discussion of the results of a test drive

But there was practically no talk about the variability of colors, so we propose to fill this gap

The Lada Vesta sedan has already been evaluated many times and from various angles, offering a comparison with competitors, a review of technical innovations or a discussion of the results of a test drive. But there was practically no talk about the variability of colors, so we propose to fill this gap.

The color scheme of the Vesta sedan has only been preliminary approved and in the future will be regularly replenished with new shades, the total number of which can reach up to 20. At the same time, we note that almost all colors will have a metallic effect, which was simply not the case in the Russian automobile industry before. However, this is not all that the Lada Vesta is going to surprise in terms of body paint. For example, they paint a new car using a completely new technology for AvtoVAZ using cataphoresis, which makes it possible for the first time in the history of the Volga auto giant to extend the warranty against corrosion to 6 years.

The sedan has two classic “non-metallic” colors, and only three shades unite the new product with earlier models of the concern, and the rest will be completely new. This can be done safely with

Paint quality: which is better, galvanization or cathophoresis, and what is the guarantee?

In fact, the very appointment of Bu Inge Anderson as the head of our auto giant during a difficult time for AvtoVAZ was associated with improving the quality of its products. The further course of events showed that fundamental improvements had taken place, starting from the design and interior equipment of the cabin and ending with the build quality of the car, which were most fully manifested in the Vesta model.

Lada Vesta blue photo

And the current 6-year warranty on painting is not so much a marketing ploy, but the fact that the eternal domestic problem of protection against corrosion and poor quality of body coating has been overcome. If the first problem in the West is solved by galvanizing bodies, dipping them into molten zinc, then AvtoVAZ decided to go its own way and is trying to protect the body with a cathophoresis primer.

Lada Vesta color brown

Of course, 6 warranty years is not 15, like Swedish ones, or 20 years, like some German cars, but this is good by our standards, or, as they say, it’s nothing more than the beginning. However, cathophoresis is actually cooler than banal galvanizing, since it is an electrochemical process of attaching a substance to the metal that performs protective functions.

Lada Vesta green photo

As for the body painting, on Vesta it occurs immediately after the cathophoresis primer and its stages are as follows:

1. The first stage begins with applying mastic to all surfaces that are mating with each other and that have seams;
2. Then comes the stage of spraying mastic - anti-noise;
3. A primer is applied to the body, which has only two color characteristics - light or dark, depending on the future tone of the body color.
4. After these procedures, the body enters special painting chambers, where the paint coating is sprayed;
5. Then comes varnishing, and Vesta’s bodies go into drying chambers for heat treatment of the coating;
6. But that’s not all, since then come the final touches of polishing and treating the cavities that are in the bodies with special anti-corrosion compounds.

Opinion of sales experts

Many designers and marketers believe that the new color solutions that were adopted for the Lada Vesta, including the experimental lime, “phantom” and “eggplant” are quite appropriate and relevant. It is believed that the color scheme is perfectly chosen from a professional point of view, and should be in demand among buyers. For example, a Lada in lime color is considered a youth and also a female version, that is, the manufacturer is purposefully trying to attract a new consumer audience, represented by representatives of the fair sex. Lada Vesta, in the lime color option, looks very catchy and stylish, this should attract young girls.

Lada Vesta – color “Metallic Angkor”

Angkor is a chocolate tone, which is decorated with a metallic gray shade. Under the sun's rays, Angkor turns to a golden, yellow color. Looks great in cloudy weather, the car turns brown. Pros. It shimmers beautifully and looks bright and stylish in any weather. Minuses. The coverage is quite rare; there is an additional payment of 12 thousand rubles.

Reviews

Artem: “I’m not delighted with the color after I looked at it in reality, and not in photographs. For the Lada Vesta, the blue color is much more suitable, and a black car also looks better.”

Roman: “Very deep tone - it seems like a chameleon. Constantly changing, depending on the time of day, weather, lighting.”

Olga: “The car looks bright, but not vulgar - that’s what I’ve been looking for for quite a long time. At first I considered a silver Lada Vesta or a Phantom, but still settled on brown. Very beautiful"

Ghostly Shade

Lada Vesta Phantom has a dark gray main color. In low light or twilight conditions, it looks monochromatic. But when the chameleon coating is exposed to a brighter light source, it begins to change from dark brown to orange. This effect is very good to observe when changing the viewing angle. Another useful property of this paint is that dust and dirt are not visible on it.

Numerous photos of phantom-colored bodywork and videos posted on Internet portals will help you decide on the choice of color. Also on websites about cars you can find reviews of the phantom color from real owners of Lada Vesta, who talk in their blogs about the features of this color, car care and other interesting facts.

The main disadvantage of such a unique coating is the difficult selection of paint during body repairs. If the car gets damaged or scratched, restoring the original coating will be very expensive. In addition, when purchasing a new Lada Vesta Phantom from an official dealer, you will need to pay an additional 12 thousand rubles to the main cost. This is how much it costs to paint the body in a metallic color.
