Lada Vesta is a new version of the class B subcompact car, production of which began 3 years ago. Domestic, French and Japanese specialists took part in its development. Car enthusiasts are offered 4 modifications: the Vesta Cross sedan, the Vesta SV station wagon, the Vesta SV Cross SUV and the Vesta SNZh dual-fuel vehicle. They can be purchased in 3 trim levels: Lada Vesta Classic, Comfort, Luxe. The color palette of the body is varied, which allows you to choose a car to suit every taste.
Color scheme of Lada Vesta sedan
Vesta sedan was the very first model and marked the beginning of the Vesta family of cars; it has the largest selection of colors that can be painted.
The small table above shows all the available colors of the car at the moment; for almost each of them you will have to pay extra, except for white. The reason for this was the painting method, which is done in a “metallic” style, in contrast to white, which is applied using a two-layer enamel method. Basically, the additional payment for color is 12 thousand Russian rubles, but for the color Carthage you will have to pay an additional 18 thousand rubles; this color is considered unique and is applied using additional devices. Previously, the color scheme of the Lada Vesta included an interesting and attractive color called “Lime”, the additional payment for which was as much as 35 thousand rubles, but at the moment the color is no longer available and it is unknown whether it will appear again.
Lada Vesta SV Cross Glacial - advantages and disadvantages
Let's try to look at the car from all sides and identify the pros and cons in order to understand whether it is worth purchasing a Vesta SV in this color or not.
Pros:
1. Price. Glacier is not metallic, so you won’t have to pay extra for the color in this case. 2. Practicality. Undoubtedly, white color is not easily soiled, so it will not cause any trouble in terms of care. In addition, small scratches and chips are not so noticeable on white. 3. Repair price. Painting the body white is not as complicated as metallic colors, for example. 4. In hot regions, white colors are popular because they heat up less in the sun. 5. Easier selling. It's no secret that classic colors sell faster and easier than some bright shades.
Flaws:
1. Boring. For many, the glacial color of the Lada Vesta SV may seem boring. This will be partly true. 2. If a chip appears on the body and is not removed in time, corrosion will form, which will be more noticeable than on dark colors. 3. In the winter season, white cars are less noticeable, so the risk of getting into an accident is higher than that of dark cars.
As you can see, the white Vesta SV Cross has many more advantages than disadvantages. Therefore, you can and should buy such a car.

The dark gray Lada evokes thoughts of constancy and stability. There are many representatives of this car color, which gives the impression of reliability and confidence - tomorrow is a new day, new food. This shade is the least easily soiled - important for any owner. The most unexpected thing is that in the graphite tone the outlines of the “X” - shaped lines on the side doors of the car - are very noticeable. Despite the ordinariness, Vesta, colored Pluto, surprises with its unity of style.
Color range of Lada Vesta SW and SW Cross
The color scheme of the Lada Vesta station wagon (SW) is completely no different from a sedan car, the only thing is that you will never see a station wagon in Lime color because this model came out after the color disappeared from the manufacturer’s price list. Perhaps a little later it will appear again, but at the moment there is no official information on this matter. But with the SW Cross, things are a little different; the cross version of the station wagon has the same body colors as its younger brother, but in addition, the buyer has access to a unique “Mars” color, which is applied only to this model. It is quite possible that the announced cross-version sedan will have the same colors as the SW Cross station wagon. Surprisingly, it is worth noting that the additional payment for the Mars color is only 12 thousand rubles.
↑ Body care rules to maintain fresh color
To preserve the original snow-white color for a long time, several rules must be followed: avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, exposure to alkali and petroleum products, remove dirt, promptly identify pockets of corrosion and treat them.
Important! When washing, it is important not to use hot water, foam rubber or cloth; you must use a hose. You cannot wash your car in the cold, in the sun, or leave it to dry without wiping it dry.
Scratches and cracks are treated with anti-rust chemicals, then primed and painted over.
To restore the paintwork, polish is applied to the surface of the body once a month. The desired temperature is about 20 degrees.

External characteristics of the new Lada
The new Lada Vesta pleased us with its body, which retains the characteristic VAZ features, but adds a pronounced individuality. In general, the concept of the body remains the same - the developers repeated the shape of the headlights, the tightened stern and the “x” stampings. Immediately after the first photos of the Lada Vesta appeared, all car enthusiasts noted the fact that the new Lada would be the most beautiful in the entire range of cars.
The car is presented in a wide range of colors: models in red, light and dark blue, classic black, gray, as well as wet asphalt and even the unusual “Lime” color.
The car is equipped with special lighting equipment, and fog lights are located on the bumper compartments. The new sedan can be immediately recognized thanks to such distinctive signs as the letter “X” on the radiator grille, as well as massive stamps on the plastic hood and sides.
Depending on the configuration, wheels of different diameters are used. The most common equipment of the Lada Vesta is the “Comfort” equipment. It is equipped with wheels with a diameter of 15 inches. The price of the car also depends on the configuration, so everyone can find a suitable option for themselves.
Technical equipment
Lada Vesta is suitable both for trips around the city and for traveling on country roads. The car was based on a B/C platform, the same as that of Renault and Nissan.
The platform uses a mounted original suspension, which has steering knuckles and a caster of 5 degrees. Vehicle ground clearance is 171 mm when fully loaded.
As a nice feature of the Lada Vesta, it can be noted that the steering column is adjustable not only in height, but also in reach. The body rigidity of the new model is 15,000 Nm/deg. Depending on the configuration, the car can be equipped with 8-valve engine models with a capacity of 87 hp. s, as well as engines with 16 valves, rated at 106 and 114 hp. All of them are designed to work with both a conventional five-speed manual transmission (automatic transmission) and an AMT robotic transmission.
Currently, the new Lada is sold only as a sedan, but a hatchback is expected to be released in 2016. After this, production of the Lada Vesta Cross station wagon is expected.
