The Lada automobile concern continues to expand its range of cars. Now the Lada Vesta Cross 2022 sedan is considered one of the most popular. The predominantly restyled model will become the most “charged” car from a domestic manufacturer.
Russian off-road conqueror
The initial presentation of the station wagon was presented in 2015 at a Moscow event. Then he attracted numerous fans and caught only admiring glances. In November 2022, official information was provided about the start of mass production of the Lada Vesta SV and Lada Vesta SV Cross 2017 cars, the price of which is affordable to everyone, in the city of Izhevsk.
The starting point will be the cost of the sedan with additions for the updated station wagon body, high ground clearance, body kits made of high-strength plastic and interior design details. The main advantage of the cross version is its impressive ground clearance, which is 25 mm higher than the standard Vesta.
↑ interior and luggage compartment dimensions
The new platform used to create the sedan made it possible to make the car not only larger, but also more comfortable. The Lada Vesta's interior dimensions are also very impressive: there is much more free space for both the driver and passengers than in previous Lada models. Main interior dimensions, meters:
- the distance between the driver's seat cushion and the ceiling is 0.93-0.99;
- distance between the rear passenger seat cushion and the ceiling – 0.885;
- free space between the back of the front seat and the legs of the passenger sitting behind – 0.226;
- front seat cushion length – 0.45;
- rear seat cushion length – 0.48.
Taking into account the specifics of operating budget sedans in our country, which involves the periodic transportation of certain cargoes, the designers made sure that Vesta received a fairly spacious trunk.
Main dimensions of the cargo compartment, meters:
- height – 0.573;
- length - 0.962 (1.675, if the rear seat backs are folded);
- width max./min. – 1.424/1.033;
- loading height – 0.717.
The useful volume of the trunk is about 480 liters, and it can accommodate cargo weighing up to 400 kilograms.
Thus, AvtoVAZ specialists managed to design not only an attractive and reliable car, but also a very practical, convenient and functional one, maximally oriented towards the average Russian driver with an average income.
Hatchback and liftback: what's the difference?
The abundance of car body types can make it difficult for a novice motorist to choose a car. In such a situation, you have to process large amounts of information in order to get to the bottom of it and, for example, understand how a liftback differs from a hatchback. Not all of these passenger cars, which are quite similar in many characteristics, will be able to quickly distinguish them in traffic.
Hatchback parameters This body type has been developed since the middle of the last century. Its name contains two English words “hatch” - hatch and “back” - rear.
In fact, this describes the presence of a door on the rear side of the car. This door is not used for boarding passengers, but for comfortable stowing luggage or cargo. Manufacturers offer both three-door and five-door hatchback models.
The main design solution is to combine the luggage area located at the rear with the passenger compartment into a single space. Thus, the result is a two-volume car, in contrast to a three-volume sedan.
A nice bonus for hatchback owners will be the presence of reduced rear overhangs, which not only makes parking better, but also makes it easier to maneuver in confined spaces.
Characteristic features include the presence of front-wheel drive and a transverse engine arrangement.
It is advisable to look at the hatchback and liftback from the side; you can see the difference between them from this angle. In a hatchback, the fifth door runs from the roof to the signal stops in a smooth line, without sharp bends. The profile of such a case is close to a teardrop shape.
Characteristics of a liftback The name of this type of car is a composite of two English words: lift - to lift and back - rear part. In some sources the name “liftback” is found. This type is included in the group of passenger cars and has a visual similarity to both sedans and hatchbacks.
The liftback is classified as a two-volume body type because its interior is combined with a luggage area. However, the space dimensions for suitcases and bags are larger here than in a similar hatchback class.
This is due to the increased overhangs at the rear, which also add internal volume.
Features and disadvantages of the luggage compartment
- To fully fold the rear row of seats into a flat platform, you will need to remove the headrests. Otherwise, they will rest against the back of the front seats. The angle of the seat layout will not exceed 160 - 165°;
- To remotely unlock the rear door lock, you need to press the mechanical key fob button twice;
- Lifting the trunk lid requires a lot of effort; the door is moderately heavy;
- A solid rubber mat on a raised shelf is impractical, since with frequent use of a spare wheel or a mechanical jack, the sides touch the fleecy covering, wearing it out.
Vesta SV station wagon dimensions - everything will fit
The Lada Vesta SV combines the compactness of a sedan and at the same time the spaciousness of the Cross Vesta. The dimensions of the car correspond to the station wagon class. The dimensions of the station wagon body are as follows: vehicle length - 4,410 meters, width along the body - 1,764 meters. Dimensions of the station wagon in height: with roof rails 1.512 meters, from the floor to the body part - 0.178 m. Other characteristics of the Vesta station wagon: wheelbase -2.635 meters, wheel track - 1510 mm.
Vesta SV is taller and more spacious than the sedan. It has 5 seats, the distance above the head of the rear seats has been increased by 0.25 meters. The sw and cross can carry long loads; if you fold the rear seats, the resulting space can accommodate 825 liters. You can use the space under the raised floor, which is another 95 liters of volume
It is not the bare space of the luggage compartment that attracts attention; it is equipped with compartments, nets and hooks in which various things are placed
Convenient for parking in hard-to-reach places, driving over obstacles, on bad roads.
Vesta Cross sizes
As a rule, the dimensions and dimensions of a particular machine are determined based on:
- from its length, which is measured from the most protruding point of the front bumper to the most distant point - the rear bumper. In Cross this parameter is 4424 mm;
- width. This is the widest part of the body and in this model it is equal to 1785 mm;
- height. It would seem that with height it should be simple - measure from the ground to the top of the car and get the result.
It turns out that some smart guy came up with the idea that the vertical parameters of the roof rails are not taken into account and thus the height of the car is the distance from the ground to the top point or top of the roof.
Who is this car suitable for?
Lada Granta liftback is perfect for young people as a first vehicle. This decision was made due to the fact that the car has a stylish appearance and is unpretentious in maintenance. The cost of parts is low, and their replacement in case of breakdown is very simple. In addition, this car is practical and consumes a small amount of fuel.
Lada Granta is a good example of the beginning of fruitful cooperation between AvtoVAZ and Japanese Nissan and French Renault.
Considering all the advantages and everything that is new, the Lada Granta liftback occupies an important place in the development of the domestic automotive industry
Exterior
The design of the exterior was a success, and few can argue with that. The front acquired aggressiveness thanks to the correct layout of the head optics and radiator grille. The headlights also did not disappoint: they fit well into the overall design and look good. On the side of the sedan there are stamped “boomerangs”, which some people don’t like, but without them the car would clearly lose its originality.
The rear view is also good: the headlights are partially moved to the trunk lid and are in contact with the side stamped, which looks very stylish. Much dissatisfaction among many was caused by the overly large gas tank hatch, which we can completely agree with: it could have been reduced or stylized into an oval shape.
I would also like to say about the lemon color, which has become Vesta’s signature. You will have to pay an additional 30 thousand for this coloring, but it is worth it. Also, the car suits cherry, black and even yellow, so car owners have a choice: overpay for an exclusive or be content with the standard, which is also, in general, not bad.
Vehicle Features
Lada Vesta 2022 was initially equipped with disc brakes in the front and rear, and was the first to incorporate a lockable gas tank hatch, a trunk door button, an elongated antenna, a newest modification of the exhaust system, a beautiful armrest between the seats of the first row, and a folding armrest for the rear seats.
As the test drive of the Lada Vesta Cross Station Wagon 2017 (video) shows, the car has every chance to become the most popular among Russian consumers. It can be successfully purchased for use by car owners who love long trips and travel. It is good for a family.
Easy to operate, with a comfortable interior, excellent handling, dynamics and maneuverability - these are just a small part of the characteristics that this car can boast of.
↑ Body characteristics and dimensions
In the manufacture of the body of the new Lada, exclusively high-strength steel alloys are used; it was decided to do without aluminum and other expensive materials, which are popular in the modern automotive industry. This approach made it possible to offer one of the most competitive prices in class B+ in comparison with foreign models, as well as to make the body as rigid and safe as possible, with a minimum of vibrations and extraneous noise.
When producing Vesta, AvtoVAZ uses new design technologies and the selective inclusion of high-strength special alloys in the body structure. Thanks to this, it is possible to avoid deviations in the geometry and dimensions of the body, prevent door skewing, and ensure good handling.
Initially, it was planned that the new model would replace the Priora in the VAZ line, although in all respects the new model is superior to the Tolyatti bestseller.
Main dimensions of Lada Vesta, meters:
- height – 1.497;
- body length – 4.41;
- wheelbase - 2.635;
- body width – 1.764;
- front track width – 1.5;
- rear track width - 1.51;
- turning radius – 5.2;
- aerodynamic drag coefficient – 0.82;
- ground clearance - 0.171.
AvtoVAZ specialists, when designing the overall dimensions of the Lada Vesta, were guided by its subsequent operation in domestic conditions, so the car is ideal for traveling on Russian roads. For example, thanks to the increased wheelbase, the car has excellent directional stability and controllability even on uneven road surfaces. A sufficiently high ground clearance makes it possible to overcome difficult sections of the road that many competitors cannot overcome.

LADA Largus has long won the sympathy of Russian car enthusiasts
Drivers often pay attention to the large trunk volume of the Lada Largus, which is considered the main advantage of this car. Domestic cars also cope well with another task - providing inexpensive and comfortable travel on modern roads
These two aspects and the ability to accommodate a large number of passengers allowed the car, produced at the Russian AvtoVAZ, to become a popular model in the CIS countries.
The dimensions of the Largus trunk depend on the body variation, it can be:
Each car variation has its own luggage compartment volume. In a station wagon designed for 5 seats, the volume of this compartment is 700 liters. But the owner of this model can transport a large load. In the Lada Largus station wagon, the trunk volume can be increased to 1500–1800 liters by removing the second row of seats - a three-seater sofa. With the seats folded down, the station wagon's luggage compartment volume increases to 2,350 liters.
The Largus van has the largest trunk dimensions. In this variation of the car there is no back row of seats, and sometimes even two, and the body is elongated. Officially, the van's trunk capacity is 2,500 liters. The main task of the model is to transport goods, so there are no additional components or elements inside the body.
The van has a reinforced suspension, as this model is designed for transporting large cargo. Station wagons do not have this option.
Cross
The smallest trunk size is in the Largus minivan, designed for 7 seats. The Largus Cross trunk reaches a volume of 200 liters. The manufacturer helped car owners by allowing them to increase the volume of the luggage compartment in liters to 1600–1800, for which two rows of seats should be removed.
The seven-seater version (minivan) has the most “modest” luggage compartment. But the manufacturer met his loyal customer halfway and endowed this modification with a simple secret: it is also possible to increase the luggage space to the same 1600–1800 liters by performing an identical operation to dismantle the stern seats. To do this, you will need to remove two planting rows.
Of course, neither a station wagon nor a minivan are designed to transport large loads, but if necessary, they will cope with this task perfectly.
Luggage compartment dimensions
Based on the above, we can conclude that the dimensions of the luggage compartment of any version of the Lada Largus are quite impressive. The general dimensions of this compartment for the models are as follows:
- opening height is 920 mm;
- the opening width is 980 mm;
- the height of the luggage compartment to the ceiling is from 870 to 930 mm for universal models and up to 1000 mm for a van;
- trunk length is 480–1570 mm for station wagons up to the 3rd and 2nd row of seats;
- The length of the van's luggage compartment is 1800 mm to the dividing wall;
- luggage compartment width – 1000–1450 mm.
Advantages and disadvantages
To make the right decision, you need to study not only the advantages, but also the disadvantages of the model. The owners, who have extensive experience in operating Largus, found one drawback. The car manufacturer did not adjust the interior of the station wagons in such a way that their owners would have the opportunity to transport large loads. If the driver nevertheless decided to load a large object into his car, then the cargo often caused damage to the interior.
Otherwise, Lada Largus owners are satisfied with everything in their cars. Among the advantages of a Russian car are the following:
- ease of loading;
- optimal dimensions;
- the ability to increase trunk capacity by removing the seats;
- high load capacity;
- possibility of modernization.
Drivers universally note the practicality and convenience of the LADA Largus trunk. Its size is quite enough to demonstrate the functionality of a domestic car, which allowed it to become a leader among its closest competitors. The manufacturer managed to competently and rationally approach the arrangement of the body space, which allows Largus to successfully transport large objects and indicates the enviable carrying capacity of the model.
Lada Largus is recommended for those drivers who want to get a car with the best consumer properties and technical characteristics.
Specifications
Power unit
It is expected that the domestic station wagon will have power units operating on gasoline. This is a 1.6-liter 106-horsepower engine, produced by Nissan HR16, an engine that develops the same 1.6 liters, but already has 114 horsepower and a volume of 1.8 liters, having 126 horses, a domestic engine.
In addition to the 5-speed manual gearbox, there will be a 5-speed gearbox and a “robot”. The top speed of the Lada Vesta Cross will be 185 km/h, and the first hundred will be reached in 10.5 seconds. The car will consume about 7 liters per 100 km. All power units, together with the environmental and technical characteristics of the engines, meet European Euro-5 standards.
Transmission
If we talk about the transmission, then as standard, the station wagon will come with front-wheel drive, but the installation of a 4x4 all-wheel drive system cannot be ruled out. The car itself was designed on the platform of the already popular 3-volume car, which makes it logical to conclude that it will fully copy it.
The station wagon has independent McPherson struts at the front and semi-independent torsion beam architecture at the rear. Steering is carried out using an electric power steering wheel. The braking system consists of ventilated front disc brakes.
"hatchback" viburnum
This full-fledged hatchback with 5 doors acts as a new version in the line of Kalinovsky modifications. The Kalina hatchback first appeared only in 2007, while Kalina has been produced since 1996. It is clear that drastic changes were made regarding the body, but the model also received other engines, more modern and meeting European toxicity standards.
The hatchback is ideal for passing city “traffic light” roads, as it is compact and equipped with an accurate power unit with ESVT. This ensures not only high speed characteristics, but also affects minimal fuel consumption.
The short body length (only 408 cm) helps the hatchback not only successfully maneuver among traffic, but also affects overall safety.
“Korotysh” can be called the most purchased “Kalinovskaya” model today, and this is not only a matter of novelty. Russian motorists have always liked hatchbacks, and this one is also equipped with the latest peak of auto fashion: a single key for locks, remote control. control, PU alarm and much more.
Shorty hatchback
Internal dimensions
Inside, the interior is quite spacious, and does not differ much in all three body types. There is enough space for the driver's and front passenger's legs, even if the legs are almost straightened and not bent at the knees. There is a little less space in the back seat, but at the same time, your knees do not rest against the back of the front seats.
The width of the seats is impressive and can accommodate large passengers. The same applies to the driver's seat. The steering wheel is located quite conveniently and has a large distance to the seat. Based on the width of the rear seat, the car can easily accommodate three people of average build.
Also, it is worth noting the difference in the size of the luggage compartment. In the sedan and sport body, the trunk has the same volume - 520 liters, but in the liftback, the trunk is increased to 760 liters, thanks to the modified body.
Interior features
As for the dimensional features of the interior, here too some smart people, probably from the very beginning of the automobile era, have not indicated the interior parameters in the characteristics. The only thing that is traditionally indicated is the number of seats. So our cross-country ward has 5 places.
Regarding comfort, we can only refer to user reviews and state that the interior dimensions of the cabin have become more convenient for rear-row passengers. In this case, comfort is improved by reducing trunk volume.
Among the interior features is a three-spoke standard size steering wheel. Against the background of the dashboard wells, it seems almost like a “KAMAZ” steering wheel.
This is a stylish console in the center of the dashboard, where a 7-inch multimedia “TV” screen is conveniently located, as well as a climate control unit.
Color spectrum
When buying a car, among the many wishes for the car's configuration, the question arises: what color should I choose? And it’s not easy to answer. The Vesta Lada color scheme is represented by ten different shades, each of which is good in its own way. Of the entire range of colors, only one is represented by the usual two-layer enamel - glacial, the rest are so-called metallic. Each paint has its own individual code, indicating a specific place in the color palette. Representatives of AvtoVAZ have repeatedly stated about a possible increase in the variety of colors and shades. At the moment, Lada Vesta is available for sale in ten colors.
Lada Vesta body colors:
- phantom (496);
- glacial (221);
- black pearl (676);
- pluto (608);
- lime (366);
- krypton (372);
- Angkor (246);
- carnelian (195);
- platinum (691);
- blues (492).
All colors of Lada Vesta are presented on the official website of the model. The color names correspond to the specific color of the car. When choosing each of them, you can choose the option you like best. Photos of the Lada Vesta body color clearly demonstrate how the sedan will look in different colors. When choosing a specific color coating, you should consider its cost. Paint code 221 is offered free of charge. Lime looks the most unique and unlike other colors, so choosing it will cost the buyer 35 thousand rubles. This considerable amount is justified - such a car is impossible not to notice in a stream of other vehicles. For other metallized coatings you will have to pay another 12 thousand rubles to the total price of the car. When choosing paint on the AvtoVAZ website, photos in different colors change, which makes it easier to find a suitable option.
Phantom
The name of the coating speaks for itself - a smoky blue with a metallic sheen captivates with its twilight beauty. This category of paint goes well with the business-like appearance of the car. can be chosen by both a respectable person and a representative of the youth.
Glacial or classic white
This color is offered free of charge for any vehicle configuration. It is a snow-white enamel applied in two layers and does not have a metallic sheen. looks moderately bright and stylish. As a contrasting addition to this body shade, black alloy wheels and a roof are suitable, which will make the car look more sporty.
Black Pearl
One of the most popular car shades of all time is classic black. This color gives solidity to any car. has paint code 676. The pearl shine of the coating lives up to its name and makes others turn around at a passing car.
Cornelian
Carnelian color is the name of a natural stone that has a rich red or pink color. This is exactly what the representative of AvtoVAZ turned out to be. The rich shade of the body looks very expensive and beautiful. will not go unnoticed on the streets of a big city.
Platinum
Platinum color is one of the most popular among modern cars. It looks great in any lighting and, compared to other colors, it is less noticeable than dirt and dust. goes well with any wheels and accessories. This machine is designed for buyers of any age and gender.
Blues
The blues color, like the musical style, has a unique charm. The soft dark blue shade looks very beautiful and elegant. designed for people who are confident and know their worth.
The body color shades in which the Lada Vesta goes on sale are constantly updated. Their number in the future may reach twenty or more. Most body colors have a metallic effect, and this is an innovation and discovery for the Russian automobile industry. But besides this, Lada Vesta has many surprises in its painting and can surprise even completely skeptical people.
Currently, a new painting technology is used for Lada Vesta, using cataphoresis, which significantly strengthens the coating and therefore Lada Vesta is guaranteed to be protected from corrosion for six years from the date of purchase. This is an absolute innovation for AvtoVAZ, which deserves the status of a minor sensation.
Lada Vesta has only two body colors that do not fall under the “metallic” category. Three colors are the same as previous models, while the rest are new. Such a categorical change in the color scheme in the new model indicates a change in AvtoVAZ’s policy with the arrival of a new manager.
Car exterior
The colorful, contrasting and elegant style of the car has become even more expressive. It is designed to stand out not only on the roads, but also off them. The exterior has the following features:
- galvanized body panels on the outside;
- the power unit is reliably protected by a durable cover;
- protection of thresholds and bottom from damage;
- the roof line neatly blends into the rear of the car;
- the rear pillars are noticeably tilted towards the front;
- the trunk is equipped with an elegant spoiler;
- excellent ground clearance;
- double exhaust pipe with a square cross section.
In general, the 2022 Lada Vesta Cross behaves confidently on the road surface, corners well and demonstrates excellent performance. The car also moves well on slippery roads.
The creation of updated models for the domestic car market is carried out by a team of professional designers led by Steve Mattin. Thus, all the predecessors and the new version under consideration were drawn by the Briton. The station wagons, it should be noted, turned out to be harmonious, high-quality, reliable and maneuverable.
Chassis
This model, compared to other domestically produced models, has some special features. Its front track is somewhat larger than the rear one. This practice is rarely used on cars, and this feature is almost impossible to find anywhere else. The difference is certainly not significant, but it is still there. For example, the front track width of the Lada Vesta is 1410 mm, and the rear track is 1380 mm. That is, the difference in them is literally 3 cm.
The wheelbase dimensions of the Lada Vesta are somewhat inferior to their foreign counterparts, reaching only 2492 mm. Of course, this has a better effect on the maneuverability and cross-country ability of the car, but it also has its drawbacks, due to the deterioration of weight distribution on the body.
Also, the vehicle's ground clearance also applies to the chassis. It is measured in three positions - fully unloaded, with passengers, and with passengers and additional, maximum permissible cargo.
In the first position, the ground clearance will be as high as possible, since it will only take on the weight of the car, which is 1178 kg. And so, in this position, the ground clearance of the Lada Vesta model measures 170 mm.
The ground clearance of any car is calculated from the road surface to the very first point of contact with it - the engine protection. The clearance of the Lada Vesta, when 4 people are inside the cabin, is reduced to approximately 165 - 160 mm.
If you measure the ground clearance in the presence of passengers and additional cargo in the luggage compartment, it will decrease by about 5 cm. But in general, for moving around the city, the Lada Vesta has a fairly decent ground clearance.
If you measure the ground clearance, taking into account not only the weight of the body and passengers with cargo, but also the additional trailer, then it will be approximately 145 mm.
↑ Interior and luggage compartment dimensions
The new platform used to create the sedan made it possible to make the car not only larger, but also more comfortable. The Lada Vesta's interior dimensions are also very impressive: there is much more free space for both the driver and passengers than in previous Lada models.
Main interior dimensions, meters:
- the distance between the driver's seat cushion and the ceiling is 0.93-0.99;
- distance between the rear passenger seat cushion and the ceiling – 0.885;
- free space between the back of the front seat and the legs of the passenger sitting behind – 0.226;
- front seat cushion length – 0.45;
- rear seat cushion length – 0.48.
Taking into account the specifics of operating budget sedans in our country, which involves the periodic transportation of certain cargoes, the designers made sure that Vesta received a fairly spacious trunk.
Main dimensions of the cargo compartment, meters:
- height – 0.573;
- length - 0.962 (1.675, if the rear seat backs are folded);
- width max./min. – 1.424/1.033;
- loading height – 0.717.
The useful volume of the trunk is about 480 liters, and it can accommodate cargo weighing up to 400 kilograms.
Thus, AvtoVAZ specialists managed to design not only an attractive and reliable car, but also a very practical, convenient and functional one, maximally oriented towards the average Russian driver with an average income.
Lada Vesta in the line of the domestic giant AvtoVAZ is a progressive and promising car. It is designed to replace the previously popular flagship Priora model on the assembly line. The manufacturer initially included considerable overall body dimensions in its new creation, which in its class can be regarded as an attempt to gain leadership.
Let us remind you that Lada Vesta is a product of joint activity between AvtoVAZ engineers and the world-famous Renault-Nissan concern. For this car, the developers did not spare technology and created a completely new platform, which will serve in the future to create various modifications of the model. Thanks to such a base, the Russian car began to look very attractive. It acquired genuine monumentality and balance, which could not be seen in previous models. This aspect was directly affected by the dimensions. Thanks to their increase, passengers became much more comfortable inside the cabin, again in comparison with previously created models, where the dimensions were more modest.
Note that in terms of its overall dimensions, the Lada Vesta is slightly larger than its direct competitors, who are seeking glory and a pedestal in the “B” market segment.

Overall body dimensions of Lada Vesta sedan
When a buyer decides on a car, he has to think about the amount of horsepower in the engine and the acceleration speed. But, in addition to this, he must clearly understand what overall dimensions and body characteristics he needs. This article will discuss the properties of the Lada Vesta body, its dimensions, weight and other details.
The appearance of a car depends, first of all, on the design. For the Lada Vesta it was designed by a well-known specialist in this field, Steve Mattin. This is the first Russian car that competed with imported models with its appearance and style. In addition, the Lada Vesta surpassed foreign competitors in its size.
Body characteristics and vehicle dimensions
Lada Vesta, according to European standards, belongs to class B+ cars. It contains some units and spare parts from Renault. The Lada Vesta is often compared to the Priora, but this is not entirely correct, since the dimensions of the Vesta are much larger, but the weight remains the same.
The sedan car is 4410 millimeters in length. Moreover, its width is 1764 millimeters, and its height is 1497.
Lada Vesta has an impressive distance between the wheel axles - 2635 mm. This significantly affects the comfort of the car while driving. Passengers do not feel bumps and travel with maximum comfort. The good ground clearance of the Lada Vesta allows this car to overcome difficult sections of the highway with a high degree of cross-country ability, even when heavily loaded.
The large capacity of the luggage compartment allows you to transport all the necessary things in your personal car. The interior of the Lada Vesta is very spacious, especially compared to previous models. In this sense, AVTOVAZ also made a mini-revolution. In addition to good spaciousness, the interior is quite comfortable and can be transformed.

More about the body
The weight of the Lada Vesta, despite the increase in body dimensions, remained the same as that of the Priora.
The body itself is made of steel, without the addition of aluminum or other materials, since the manufacturer did not set a goal to reduce the weight of the car. Efforts have been made to create maximum safety for the Lada Vesta, eliminating unwanted vibrations and noise.
The body turned out to be more rigid and safer, thanks to new design technologies and the targeted use of high-strength alloys. Such innovations guarantee protection against jamming and distortion of doors and improved handling. The lighter weight was justifiably sacrificed to the multiple increase in the safety level of the Lada Vesta.
More about the trunk
The trunk in the Lada Vesta turned out to be quite roomy and comfortable for a sedan. Its height in centimeters is 57.3. Width – from 103.9 to 142.4. Length – from 96.2 to 16.75. Very impressive size for such a model. In this trunk you can transport many different items that have an impressive weight, bypassing the financial costs of delivery and transportation.
More about the design and interior
Lada Vesta has a good interior, which is decorated with soft plastic. Despite this property, the plastic is quite durable. The interior of the car is upholstered in fabric and black leather. Added silver inserts. The panel is decorated with two backlight colors. It contains the necessary sensors: speedometer, tachometer, fuel level and engine temperature. The interior of the “luxury” version of the Lada is made at the level of higher-class European cars, which is a pleasant surprise.
Lada Vesta takes the Russian auto industry to a new level. This could not but affect the features of the car body, which allows Lada to compete for leadership in the market with foreign competitors. The car has respectable dimensions and relatively light weight. This is complemented by good aerodynamics and a high level of passenger safety.
Lada Vesta SV and SW Cross - what is the difference
The success of the Lada Vesta in the market as a whole, and especially in comparison with previous AvtoVAZ models, could not but receive its logical continuation. In 2022, in the fall, Lada Vesta SW and Lada Vesta SW Cross went on sale. Vesta has already managed to make a name for itself, so there was a sense of excitement over the new products, and the start of sales was successful, however, when comparing the SW cross and the regular LadaVesta station wagon, it is not immediately clear why these are different cars at all? In fact, Lada Vesta and Lada Vesta Cross have differences in many parameters, we will try to highlight the main ones.

Differences in the design and interior of the cabin
The off-road version of the station wagon looks beautiful and harmonious. The car in the bright orange “Mars” color, also available for the Kalina Cross hatchback, is one of the most interesting cars in the class in terms of design.
Lada SW is lost against the background of the fit and dashing SW Cross. Large wheels (17-inch) of the original design, which the sedan lacked, look great in the off-road version. Owners of a city 5-door car are content with only R15 and R16 wheels.
The main advantage of the all-terrain station wagon is the presence of a decorative black plastic body kit. This is the first thing your eye catches when inspecting a new car. It looks neat and visually enlarges the wheel arches. The decorative and protective body kit gives the SW Cross brutality and aggressiveness, and is designed to preserve the paintwork when driving on light off-road conditions.
At the rear of the off-road version of Vesta there is a decorative trim - a double exhaust pipe. It looks unusual and original.
How do the configurations differ?
AvtoVAZ presented two versions of the Lada Vesta station wagon. Although these two cars are very similar, they have a number of distinctive features. We decided to put the Lada Vesta SW (a simple station wagon) against the “cross”, compare these two modifications and find the main differences.
Lada Vesta SV Cross
If we consider the 1.6 liter model. There is no option to select a gearbox. One configuration is mechanical . Choose a media installation - regular standard or multimedia.
1.8 liter model has a wide selection. Choose between a manual transmission and a robot. These cars are offered in the Prestige . If it is present, the appearance of the interior will change. The rear seats will have armrests. LED lighting will appear in the cabin . The rear window will have a darker tint. The price of the car includes an additional charge for color. For a fashionable one you will have to pay up to 12,000 . That's about how much the Orange Mars design costs.
Lada Vesta SV
The windshield is over the entire surface and the locks are protected from freezing. The car is equipped with a hood deflector . Wear-resistant carpets protect the interior and trunk.

Comparison of engines and gearboxes of Lada Vesta SV and SV Cross
There is no significant difference in engines and gearboxes between Cross and SV. In total, both models use three engines and two gearboxes. With all sorts of combinations.
Vesta SV received 4 possible options, and Cross SV - only 3. In this case, the manufacturers simply decided to discard the 16-valve 1.6 106 hp. on the robot, but left only AMT with 1.8. See the table below to understand the difference between the Lada Vesta SV and SV Cross in power plants:
Lada Vesta SW | Lada Vesta SW Cross | |
1.6 l 16 cl. (106 hp), 5MT | X | X |
1.6 l 16 cl. (106 hp), 5AMT | X | |
1.8 l 16 cl. (122 hp), 5MT | X | X |
1.8 l 16 cl. (122 hp), 5AMT | X | X |
Transmission
The gearbox in the new Vesta SW is of two types: “robot” and mechanical, and in the crossover with a 1.6 liter engine there will be no “robot”. Let's start with the mechanics. Here we must pay tribute, the reworking of the gears of old models and foreign parts did their job, changing gears is easy and pleasant. But what about the "robot"? Is it really so good that they don’t even put it on a smaller cross-country engine in order to provoke the purchase of a larger one? Rather, on the contrary, the VAZ robot is very far from ideal, it sucks all the pleasure that a manual transmission can provide, our condolences to all those who don’t like it, of course, this is not a detail that should scare you away from the car, but Vest’s mechanics are really nice .
Price difference
Although both cars are station wagons, there are differences in price, and justified ones, so, when we compare the Lada Vesta SW Cross with a more urban version, we find a lot of differences in favor of the first, which, of course, affected the cost.
The base price of Vesta SW is 589,410 rubles, Vesta SW cross is 693,810 rubles. The difference is almost 100,000, for this the unique cross will have: a plastic body kit, “Mars” color, interior trim of the same color, a decorative exhaust pipe nozzle, wider ground clearance, a more advanced suspension and larger wheels, at least an inch. Is it worth 100,000 rubles? You decide. We will just note that in all Vesta AvtoVAZ paid great attention to safety, did not skimp on it, 4 airbags are already included in the most modest configuration, such concern for customers is very pleasant.
The main differences between a liftback and a hatchback
Both classes described above are modifications of passenger cars, similar in characteristics and driving performance to sedans from the same model range.
The differences between a liftback and a hatchback are as follows:
- The shape of the rear overhang, which makes the liftback look like a sedan;
- Door opening mechanism – on liftbacks, 2 alternative access methods can be provided;
- The liftback can be either two- or three-volume (which makes it even more similar to a sedan), while hatchbacks come only with two-volume.
It is worth noting that some manufacturers are not limited to this list, and regard the transition from a hatchback to a liftback as an opportunity for a comprehensive modernization of the series.
As an example, let's look at the Lada Granta liftback - along with a new body shape, the car received an upgraded brake system and chassis. These changes are not strictly tied to the body, and over time the domestic giant promises to transfer the innovations to the rest of the series.
For domestic consumers, both hatchbacks and liftbacks are of interest as cars for urban conditions, which are much more convenient than a sedan due to their dimensions and design solutions.
Sales of the Lada Granta liftback version have started in the country. At the same time, the new product received not only a fifth door, but also an updated design, an improved braking system, different suspension settings, and became more comfortable than a sedan. But, as Kolesa found out. Ru, most of the innovations will sooner or later migrate to it, so by and large we are talking about a comprehensive modernization of the model. But not so deep as to call it fundamental. However, judge for yourself...
