Lada vesta signature takes part in a big test drive

  • ŠKODA Superb may become a competitor to Lada Vesta Signature
  • Does Lada Vesta Signature have a future?
  • The team of the “Big Test Drive” program continues to introduce its viewers to AvtoVAZ’s new products. This time, an extended version of the Lada Vesta VIP was caught on camera. This car is the first-born among Lada cars, which are designed to transport officials and people of great income. It is a harbinger of production models of this class. So far, the extended Lada Vesta was at the personal disposal of the AvtoVAZ president.

    The executive class is quite a rare occurrence for the domestic automobile industry. Before the appearance of the new version of Vesta, there were more than once calls to transfer high-ranking civil servants from foreign cars to Russian cars. And no matter what the pressure, no one wanted to exchange BMW or Mercedes for a Volga or VAZ. Can't Russian manufacturers create something similar and worthy of attention?

    The idea of ​​a new version

    Lada Vesta Signature is not the first such version of Lada.
    Previously, experiments with increasing dimensions were carried out with the Lada Priora. Then the concept version of Priora Premier was presented, the base length of which was increased by 17.5 centimeters. At the time of the attempt to introduce such a car, VAZ did not have sufficient capacity for this, so the project of an extended Priora froze at the embryonic stage. Today, after successful sales of the new Lada Vesta sedan and X-Ray crossover, the Tolyatti concern has reached a completely new level. Therefore, there are rumors that mass production of the long Vesta is quite within the capabilities of AvtoVAZ. So far, there is no exact information about whether cars of this type will roll off the assembly line in large quantities. At this stage, the version closest to the truth sounds like this: Lada Long will in the near future be produced only under individual orders.

    This device is designed to become an attribute of consumers who cannot imagine driving without comfort and space, as well as a solid appearance. To achieve this effect, the body was modified. Lada took the form of a luxury car.

    How can it be profitable to buy a Lada Vesta in any configuration?

    Regardless of what class of Lada Vesta car or what class of Lada Vesta SV Cross car, it is important to profitably purchase absolutely any configuration without overpaying.

    03/17/2020 AVTOVAZ is preparing an update for the LADA Largus family

    Prices and configurations vesta signature

    Lada vesta sw cross test drive, reviews from real owners
    There is no official price tag for the Lada Vesta Singatur, but most likely the basic version will cost about a million rubles, and then the price will increase due to the wishes of a particular customer. The base already includes leather trim around the perimeter, LED foglights, heated rear seats, original 17-inch alloy wheels, and chrome door moldings.

    So far, the armrest for VIP passengers has cup holders, USB connectors, an ashtray with a cigarette lighter, and buttons for controlling heated rear seats. But it is quite possible that the functionality will be expanded. You can display control of the climate control system and multimedia system on the same armrest. The body color can be additionally ordered, but for now the base color consists of black “Panther 672” (plus dark brown metallic Angokor 246).

    What's new?

    Lada engineers did not limit themselves to increasing the base alone. The car has a number of other pleasant changes. For example, the familiar multimedia system antenna has changed its shape and location. Now it is located on the slope of the roof of the car in the shape of a shark fin. The idea was apparently taken from one of the top three manufacturers in the automotive industry.


    Location of the new audio system antenna

    You will not find windshield washer nozzles on the hood of your car. Now they are hidden from prying eyes under the edge of the hood. As a result, the aerodynamic properties and appearance of the front part of the Vesta Signature have slightly improved.

    Another feature is that the gas tank flap, like on all modern foreign cars, is unlocked from the passenger compartment. The trunk can also be opened from the inside using the button that appears.

    The wheels have an original design and measure 17 inches. Thanks to this, they look much more harmonious in the large wheel arches of the original Vesta.

    The climate control system now has two control zones for air parameters, and the multimedia system is installed from famous brands.

    Due to the increased mass of the rear, engineers had to seriously rework the rear suspension: it became semi-independent with a torsion beam.

    Test drive of the extended Lada Vesta Signature

    The Volzhsky Automobile Plant has already lengthened production sedans. The most famous “stretch” is the Lada Priora Premier with a wheelbase stretched by 175 mm. But that was in another life, and now completely different models are becoming donors for transformation into limousines.

    Long autograph

    — Please do not dirty the salon. Immediately after you the car will go to Mr. Andersson!

    In the best corporate traditions, the president of AVTOVAZ became a regular passenger of the “limousine” based on Vesta. Driving cars from your own factory is a sign of good manners at all times and in all countries. But until the long Vesta is handed over to the “owner”, we will take a ride on it!

    Elongated Vesta. The model nameplate imitates the signature of chief designer Steve Mattin.

    Presidential Vesta has a proper name - Signature: translated from English - “autograph”. The badge on the trunk lid truly resembles the flourish of chief designer Steve Mattin.

    The body of the “limousine” was welded in the experimental production of AVTOVAZ, and the final assembly of the car was carried out in the design center. The insert increased the wheelbase to 2885 mm (+ 250 mm), the total length of the car reached 4660 mm. The amount of legroom for rear passengers has increased by only 200 mm - because the rear seat has been moved 50 mm forward so that riders are not disturbed by the sloping roof (the distance from the seat to the ceiling has increased by 15 mm).

    The rear door opening and the door itself have been enlarged, making it much more convenient to get in and out. By the way, the door is so-called pillarless - without additional slats in the window opening. To do this, we had to invent a complicated mechanism for lifting the large glass.

    The dashboard differs from the standard one with chrome inserts. There is a minimum of plastic on the doors, mostly leather and chrome inserts.

    The rear seatback no longer folds down. In the middle is a massive console-armrest, which hides two cup holders, two USB slots and heating switches. There is an additional lamp in the ceiling. The upholstery of the seats and some interior parts is leather, and the decorative inserts on the doors and instrument panel are chrome.

    I was lucky enough to see almost all the elongated Tolyatti cars, even the first-born Amadeo based on the VAZ-21099 sedan, produced by Master Design in the mid-nineties. As is true: both in appearance and in the quality of the interior, the long Vesta surpasses all its predecessors. It's not even about the nuances.

    Vesta seems to be from a different league - the highest, into which elongated versions of other VAZ models were closed. The design of the donor is so successful that the body of the elongated Vesta looks organic, as if it was born that way. And there is a qualitative leap in the interior decoration - there are no little things that look tacky.

    The two rear seats are separated by a console-armrest. Heating, cup holders, and USB connectors are provided.

    What is a limousine without good sound insulation! The Autograph is quieter than a standard sedan. Modified for a longer, heavier car with larger diameter wheels and suspension. Vesta Signature is shod with light alloy wheels with tires measuring 205/50 R17.

    The power unit is still standard: VAZ-21129 engine with a power of 106 hp. and a five-speed robotic gearbox. If things go well, then a new 1.8 liter engine will take root under the hood.

    What are the prospects for Vesta performed by Signature? For now, this is a purely corporate vehicle, not for general sale - read: a small-scale car for certain people. But the factory workers never tire of repeating that they, as pioneers, are always ready to make cars. If there is demand, the extended Vesta may become available to the average consumer. Well, or not quite ordinary.

    Longer, higher, softer

    Appearance Lada Vesta Signature

    Presenters Sergey Stillavin and Rustam Vakhidov met the new domestic limousine at the site of the Togliatti plant. Looking at the car from the front, no differences are visible. Before your eyes is the most typical Lada Vesta. How much everything changes if you walk around the side of the car. It is immediately noticeable that the car has gained in length. The body dimensions of the stock LADA VESTA sedan are: 4410, 1764 and 1497 in millimeters. Which corresponds to length, width and height. The car for important people has lengthened by 25 cm. Photos will serve well for comparison.

    This is especially evident in the rear doors, which allow you to easily enter the car. The height of the car has increased by approximately 15 cm. According to the manufacturers, the wheelbase has undergone virtually no changes, except perhaps in length. On a production Vesta it is 2635. An additional ten centimeters should give the car a smoother ride.

    AvtoVAZ gave the innovation a catchy name – Signature. Translated from English it means “signature”. Now on the back of the car you can easily distinguish the original inscription, which distinguishes this car from its counterparts.

    Apparently, this refers to the importance of the passengers in the cabin of a Russian limousine. Teams from AvtoVAZ Design Center and STC participated in the design of the exterior. The work was led by the company's chief designer, Steve Mattin.

    Seventeen-inch alloy wheels were chosen for the executive car, which look quite decent on the elongated body. The trunk has become much more spacious. Exact data has not yet been reported, but visually, it has increased in volume by one and a half times.

    Galvanization will probably be applied to the body. As for color, most likely, as expected, preference will be given to black.

    According to AvtoVAZ, the production of LADA VESTA Signature does not require any special restructuring of the enterprise’s capacities. Assembly is carried out on the same assembly line as serial sedans.

    Particular attention should be paid to new technologies that make it possible to stamp parts of a new car in small batches. It is assumed that the VIP model of Lada will be produced exclusively to order. The production of about 10 cars of this class is planned for 2016.

    The fact that standard equipment is used to produce cars makes it possible to reduce the costs of producing a new class of car. Therefore, don’t increase the cost too much. When asked how much this model costs, company representatives answer that prices for Lada Vesta Signature will range from 1 million rubles. up to 1.2.

    Only for very important people

    Looking at the back row of the new Vesta model, it immediately becomes clear that the car is intended for important people. There's more than enough space. The back row has received an additional 20 cm, which allows you to freely stretch your legs without worrying about interference. In the version presented in Tolyatti, Signachure has two rear seats with comfortable headrests. Between them there is a solid armrest, on which an ashtray and two USB connectors are conveniently located. A nice addition are the individual seat heating buttons. The huge windows of the rear doors are easily controlled using keys.

    The salon received an excellent finish. Expensive plastic and real chrome inserts are visible all around. Genuine leather pleasantly envelops the body. As for the finishing colors, they will be made at the request of the customer.

    The same applies to the back row of seats. In the simplest configuration, standard three seats are assumed. They can be replaced with a spacious sofa or have the ability to fold out.

    A nice innovation is the leather steering wheel, which has become thicker. Those who have driven American cars are familiar with the feeling that occurs when holding a fancy steering wheel.

    The increased height affects the driver's comfortable position. Even in the lowest position, the adjustable seat allows you to freely observe the road.

    In general, the impression of the car is excellent.

    Driving performance of Lada Vesta Signature

    As expected, the longer car performed well on the track. The presented model has a standard Ladovsky engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 106 hp. With. Automatic transmission - AMT was selected as the transmission. According to calculations by AvtoVAZ management, in the future LADA VESTA VIP will be equipped with 1.8 liter engines, and maybe even with a larger volume.

    The car has good sound insulation, which allows you to completely hide not only the sound of the running engine, but also the noise from the studded seventeen-inch wheels.

    It should be noted that the ride is smooth, which makes it possible to overcome bumps and holes on domestic roads without interference. There is simply no need for special cross-country ability for a car of this class. The ground clearance of 178 mm, standard for the production Vesta, is slightly increased due to the large wheels.

    We compare different trim levels of the Lada Vesta SV sedan and station wagon

    It is noteworthy that the Lada Vesta SW does not have the initial Classic. The five-door is immediately available in the Comfort version (669,900 rubles). For a four-door car this is the next level (637,900 rubles).

    Average level

    The Comfort version is Classic with the Start package, which is complemented by:

    • Armrest between the front seats.
    • Driver's seat with lumbar support and height adjustment.
    • Tri-range heated front seats.
    • Rear parking sensors.
    • Cruise control.
    • Full audio system with 4 speakers.
    • Multifunctional steering wheel.


    From a quick comparison of the configurations of the Lada Vesta sedan, it is clear that the basic modifications have only audio preparation, and you can recognize them by two headrests and black handles and mirrors.
    The initial modification of the station wagon has been put in order both outside and inside: standard audio is present, power windows for the rear doors are also present, and the housings of the handles and mirrors are painted in body color. For both cars, the optional Image offer is valid (23,000 rubles). However, its content is different. So, a four-door car is equipped with rear ESP, a heated windshield, 16-inch alloy wheels and rear disc brakes (for version 1.8). The five-door model is equipped in a similar way, only instead of electric rear windows, which are already available in Comfort, fog lights are installed. In the case of the sedan, an alternative to Image is the Multimedia package. It is 5,000 rubles more expensive and only offers a six-channel audio system with a touchscreen head and navigation.

    High level

    The next level of equipment for the sedan is the Luxe package. Essentially it is Comfort + Image, supplemented with such things as:

    1. Side airbags.
    2. PTF.
    3. Rain and light sensors.
    4. Climate control.

    Inside, passengers of this version will be pleased with LED lighting and exit lighting in the front doors. The interior will not go unnoticed, which in this version is already more interesting, since it has eco-leather inserts. Plus, it's now available in one of two colors: dark gray or brown.

    Comparing the configurations with the Lada Vesta SV, it is easy to notice that the station wagon is additionally equipped with an auto-off function for the headlights and a double trunk floor. The cost of this version of SW is 732,900 rubles. For the five-door, the Multimedia package becomes available here for the first time, the cost and contents of which have already been described. For the four-door, this option is still relevant.

    The final version of the Lada Vesta model line is Exclusive (814,400 rubles). Only sedans are produced in this form and only with a 1.8 engine. They are distinguished by:

    • Rear armrest.
    • Tinted rear windows.
    • Rear View Camera.
    • Heated second row of seats.
    • Advanced multimedia complex.
    • USB socket for rear passengers.

    The Exclusive is not available to the station wagon. Its highest modification is Luxe. However, the entire set of equipment available to the top-spec sedan is also available to the five-door car - in the Prestige package. Its cost is 46,000 rubles.

    Lada Vesta configurations from basic to full, options that will appear on Lada Vesta

    Lada Vesta, which you can buy at the end of November, will go on sale in medium and expensive trim levels. The basic configuration of the Lada Vesta will appear only in 2016. Apparently the manufacturer wants to first make money on the hype, and only then offer affordable versions. Officially, prices and configurations of the Lada Vesta have not yet been announced, but something is already known for sure. There will be three main configurations of the Lada Vesta. Basic – “Classic”, medium – “Comfort” and full equipment “Luxe”. Let's look in more detail at what awaits the buyer in each version of the new domestic car. It is worth saying that even in the basic configuration of the Lada Vesta there are quite a lot of options that the main competitors do not offer. Let's start our review.

    Basic equipment Lada Vesta Classic

    In the initial version of the Lada Vesta, buyers will be offered a 1.6 liter petrol engine with 8 valves producing 87 hp. The motor is known from other Lada models. The gearbox will be a 5-speed manual transmission. Steel wheels measuring 14 inches. Air conditioning, front windows, and two airbags for front passengers will already be available in the base. From a safety point of view, the manufacturer did not skimp on all kinds of electronic systems, including ABS, EBD, and there is even an ESC stability control system. If the equipment is quite rich, there will be no audio system. But the manufacturer promises audio preparation. That is, if you wish, you can buy a radio yourself, remove the plug in the center console and insert your music there. Another important thing available in the database is, of course, the ERA-GLONASS system, which we have already written about in detail.

    Average configuration Lada Vesta Comfort

    The average version of Comfort will receive a standard radio with a 4.3-inch monochrome monitor, a USB port and Bluetooth protocol. The seats will be heated, and the driver's seat can also be adjusted in height. Electric mirrors will be heated, and rear parking sensors will be available. The steering column will be adjustable in height and reach. Options in this configuration can be purchased as a package. The Optima package includes 15-inch alloy wheels, a heated windshield and power rear windows.

    The Lada Vesta Comfort equipment is also distinguished by the presence of a more powerful 16-valve 1.6-liter engine with a power of 106 hp. This engine comes with not only a 5-speed manual transmission, but also a robotic automatic transmission. An automatic transmission should appeal to residents of large cities, where the problem of traffic jams is more acute than ever.

    Full equipment Lada Vesta Lux

    The luxury Lada Vesta, in addition to a huge range of options, will receive another serious difference: the original “chameleon” body color. Yes, yes, it will shimmer in different shades depending on the lighting. There will be 10 body colors in total, both simple and metallic. Lada Vesta Luxe will have the option of installing a modern 1.6-liter gasoline engine developed by the Renault-Nissan concern with a power of 114 hp.

    As for the standard “luxury” options, buyers will already have access to all 4 power windows, rain and light sensors, and the wheels will be 16-inch rollers, naturally alloy. To get cruise control, a 7-inch touchscreen monitor and rear view camera, navigation and other benefits of civilization, you will have to pay extra for the Multimedia option package. By the way, in other configurations all this cannot be obtained even for additional money.

    Even in the Lada Vesta “Lux” version, you will be offered a Style package of options, which will slightly transform the exterior of the car. A standard spoiler will appear on the trunk lid, although not very large. The exhaust pipes will have chrome tips, and the alloy wheels will have an original design.

    The exact specifications and prices of the Lada Vesta will be announced only closer to the start of sales on November 25. The manufacturer previously announced the cost of the sedan at 495,000 rubles for the basic version and about 600 thousand for the full “Luxe” package; apparently, with additional option packages, the car will cost about 650,000 rubles. It is possible that the number of option packages and trim levels may be increased.

    Photos of the salon

    The main changes to Vesta in the Signature version affected the interior: now the passenger can safely cross his legs (unless, of course, he is from the NBA team). In the rear of the cabin there is now a full-fledged sofa that can definitely accommodate only two passengers: it is divided by a functional tunnel, which here not only plays the role of an armrest, but also has a functional panel with cup holders, an ashtray, seat heating buttons, a cigarette lighter and a USB connector. The leather interior trim is interspersed with inserts in neutral colors, which only adds charm and comfort to the Lada Vesta Signature. It was decided to avoid plastic in the interior trim as much as possible - leather and chrome decorative elements predominate. Each passenger has personal lighting and footlights (located in the doors). The sofa has hidden functionality - the backrest adjustment angle is very high (which, you must agree, is too good for a domestic car).

    The enlarged rear door opening also increased comfort - getting into and out of the car is much easier and more convenient. Another innovation appeared here - the car is equipped with pillarless doors (no slats in the window opening). This decision was not easy: the window lifting mechanism was invented from scratch. The Lada Signature was also not deprived of noise insulation - the body was lined with special material at the assembly stage. Adding comfort while driving is a whole range of proven solutions that allow for maximum optimization of movement by means of a vehicle transmission, which we will talk about later.

    Let's take a look inside

    As soon as you look inside the elongated Vesta, your soul immediately becomes warm and, to some extent, pride in the Russian manufacturer arises. It feels like they really worked on the interior and selected all the decorative elements and materials to suit the portrait of a serious buyer. Leather upholstery, expensive trim elements, chrome inserts

    Of course, the seats on the rear sofa were left only for two passengers, because a huge functional tunnel had grown in the middle. On board it has two cup holders, controls for heated rear seats, two USB ports and a cigarette lighter with an ashtray.

    Lighting lamps were built in for each passenger, and comfortable footlights were placed in the doors.

    The sofa, unlike the standard Vesta, was tilted at a slight angle, making sitting much more pleasant, this is especially felt during long trains along a country route.

    The first thing that attracts your attention when you sit down is the huge glass in the rear doors. The most amazing thing is that they can be moved without any problems by an electric window lifter.

    Engineers also worked on the acoustic comfort of the business sedan. The car received an additional set of sound insulation for the engine compartment, the floor, roof, wheel arches were glued differently and a whole range of technical solutions were implemented to reduce vibrations.

    The ceiling is covered with Alcantara, and the color chosen by the buyer can be custom-made.

    The driver was not deprived either; a new comfortable armrest was installed for him, unlike its “parody” in the regular version. The steering wheel has become more solid due to the new thick covering. Even the sun visors are covered with genuine leather. The extended wheelbase is fully felt on the road with its high stability and smooth ride. All this gives you the feeling that you are driving a more expensive car, of a higher class.


    Interior accessible from the driver's seat

    The trunk, unfortunately, remained exactly the same as in the standard version. It has a volume of 480 liters.

    As the project engineers promise, each car will be created according to the buyer’s individual order in terms of interior.

    Technical characteristics of Lada Vesta Signature

    The starting version of the project was equipped with a 1.6 liter unit. with a power of 106 horsepower. Later, this idea was abandoned and the current configuration of the car is equipped with a 1.8 engine with a power of 122 hp. With. This decision was made due to the fact that the original version of the engine did not cope very well with the enlarged base of the Vesta Signature (2885 millimeters). Documented acceleration from zero to hundreds takes 14 seconds, which is very good for an elongated body. The maximum speed limit is currently in the range of 170-190 km/h.

    The Business Lada is equipped only with a robotic transmission, which has a set of additional functions that allow you to set the mode for the smoothest driving dynamics, which has a positive effect on the comfort of passengers and on the general condition of the car (ensures its safety). With an automatic transmission, a car consumes an average of about 8 liters per 100 km in a modern city. Gear shifting is smooth and stable, adding to the ease of control.

    The signature is equipped with a suspension that, in principle, is not much different from the model from the production model, except that this version is modified to accommodate an elongated body and has several elements to strengthen the structure. To improve handling and maneuverability, the steering rack became shorter and the speed decreased (2.8). The signature is packed with a standard set of electronic systems: exchange rate stability (ESP), an HSA anti-rollback complex and a system that stops slippage on the move (TSC).

    Chassis and ground clearance

    The front suspension of the Lada vesta signature does not differ in structure and characteristics from the standard version of the car. The difference lies in the additional locking mechanisms, the need for which arose due to the increase in the scale of the body. The Lada Vesta Signature is also equipped with an electric power steering wheel. Due to the increase in weight of the Vesta Signature fret, the rear suspension was significantly changed. The braking system includes ventilated brake pads for the front suspension and drums for the rear suspension.

    The suspension is adapted to travel on the roads of our country, which do not differ in the quality of the road surface. The extended version of the car has become even more flexible and maneuverable by reducing the length of the steering rack. The number of revolutions decreased to 2.8.

    Vesta long is equipped with a set of electronic devices familiar to a car: directional stability, a recoil device and an anti-slip system while driving. The ground clearance of the signatures is 181 mm, which is quite high. Ground clearance of this level allows you to drive the extended version not only on city highways with high-quality road surfaces, but also on country roads.

    Features of the modified Vesta

    The Lada Vesta Long version received a finally formed exterior thanks to modifications to the body. The designers designed the updated car platform in such a way that, despite the increase in length, the Lada fully retained all the features of the X-shaped concept and in profile was not only longer, but also more beautiful than the production sedan. This was achieved through the use of the latest methods, which VAZ is constantly experimenting with. This is encouraging, because with the introduction of new design options, the concern is gradually raising the bar from year to year. The modified wheelbase and body length create the main effect of the transformation from a sedan to a limousine.

    Dramatic changes occur due to:

    • the use of a longer wheelbase in the Signature (by as much as 25 cm), after the changes it is equal to 2.86 m;
    • a radical increase in body length by 25 cm (now Vesta has reached an impressive length of 4.46 m);
    • moving the rear passenger seats 5 cm forward;
    • visible increase in the rear door openings of the Signature;
    • increasing the vertical height between the rear seats and the ceiling.

    Improving the door opening is another trump card in winning over a wealthy government audience. After all, most upper-class people prefer to travel with a personal driver. Therefore, when sitting in the rear seat, the important person will feel comfortable and spacious.

    Exterior

    At the first glance at this model, it immediately becomes clear that the updated Lada Vesta is nothing more than a continuation of the new series of X-RAY cars. This is evidenced by several characteristic features. The first is the radiator grille, made in the form of a large letter “X”, and the second – looking at the car from the side, you can see that its streamlining is made in such a way as to create a pattern, also in the form of the letter “X”.

    Externally, the car looks quite solid and aggressive. The front bumper has two chrome inserts that emphasize its representative style. Also, the front bumper has built-in fog lights. The head optics also look quite modern and are a one-piece headlamp.


    In the extended version - Lada vesta signature, the rear door is noticeably lengthened. Initially, this idea was made in order to give the car the appearance of a limousine. The spacious, wide rear window fits perfectly into the overall design of the car and looks quite representative.

    From the rear, this car has a rather aggressive appearance, which is achieved due to the neon dimensions of the rear lighting, made in the form of halves of the letter “X”. In the middle of the trunk lid, in chrome letters, the name of the car is stamped - LADA. The rear bumper is made strictly, and without any excesses.

    Another feature of the updated version, called Signature, is the presence of factory titanium wheels made in the style of a 5-pointed star, each face of which is divided into two neat parts. This style gives maximum aggressiveness and solidity.

    What kind of gas tank does she have?

    The fuel tank of the model is no different from a regular Vesta. It has a volume of 55 liters. A new solution at AvtoVAZ: a characteristic feature of the signatures is that the fuel tank lid is opened by pressing a key in the car’s interior.

    Engine characteristics, fuel consumption

    Power 123 hp Engine volume 1.8 l Acceleration from zero to hundreds of kilometers per hour 13.8 seconds Maximum speed 180-195 km/h Fuel consumption 7.9 l (average when driving on a mixed highway) Highest thrust 170 nm

    It is worth noting that the Lada Vesta signature engine is equipped with a sixteen-valve timing device and a systematized control device for gas distribution cycles.

    Lada Vesta and Russian conditions

    The Lada Vesta car is entirely designed for Russian roads and the Russian climate.

    1. For the first time on a Lada car, the outer layer of the body is equipped so that corrosion resistance is six years.
    2. If there are bad weather conditions outside, such as snow or rain, then when the doors are opened, no precipitation gets into the car interior;
    3. The gas tank has increased in volume. It now holds 55 liters of fuel;
    4. the suspension has become more improved. It will last a long time due to its controllability and smoothness; at maximum vehicle load the ground clearance will be 178 mm;
    5. good protection from gravel on the thresholds and the bottom of the car has been developed;
    6. the car’s engine is tuned for Russian roads;
    7. The protection of the space under the hood has been improved.

    Does Lada Vesta Signature have a future?

    Most likely there is. The car already has a well-tested base in the form of a stock Lada Vesta. This sedan has already fallen in love with Russians and is beginning its advance both to the West and to the East. AvtoVAZ has created an excellent basis for the production of new inexpensive models, this is confirmed by numerous positive reviews from car owners. As you know, the basic equipment of Vesta costs from 514 thousand rubles. The maximum configuration costs 658 thousand. The cars are equipped with two 1.6 liter engines and a power of 106 to 114 hp. With. The updated models will be equipped with an engine of AvtoVAZ’s own production, which has a volume of 1.8 liters and a power of 123 hp. With. Transmissions include a five-speed manual transmission and an AMT robot.

    A domestic limousine could become another impetus that gradually promotes the products of the Tolyatti plant to the coveted European markets. If officials start switching from foreign models to Russian ones, then the manufacturer will not need better advertising.

    Salon Lada Vesta SV cross

    Since the cross body car came out at the end of '17, its interior is no different from the '18 car. Both the driver and the passenger feel comfortable sitting in the Cross. Many people are interested in the question of whether the Lada Vesta has 7 seats, the answer is: it doesn’t, there are no 7 seats in the interior of the crossover, there are only 5 of them.

    Let's start with the Cross steering column; outwardly it is no different from the steering wheel of a Vesta sedan - all the same buttons for controlling the multimedia system. However, there are differences: in any configuration of the Vesta Cross, the steering wheel is covered with leather.

    Photo of the interior of the cross modification

    The central panel is no different from the sedan, everything is still harmoniously located in its place, which makes driving easier. There is a glove box mounted on the panel on the right; it has a decent volume. In the center of the cabin there is a central tunnel with cup holders and a gear knob. The handle of the box depends on what kind of box is on the car.

    After the gearbox there is an armrest, convenient for the elbow of the right hand. The plastic in the cabin is the same everywhere, in the door cards and on the dashboard. Door cards have harmonious inserts that highlight the design. The doors have spacious containers in which you can put small things or a bottle of drink. Overall the door finish looks decent. Each door has its own electric lift, and the driver's window control unit with rear door locking and mirror adjustment.

    The Vesta Cross floor is carpeted everywhere. It can be called a classic flooring material in many foreign cars and vases. The ceiling on Vesta Cross is light, but it is made with high quality; in case of contamination, the dirt can be easily washed off.
