Comparing Lada Vesta and Lada Largus, at first glance, will seem incorrect, due to the fact that both models occupy different niches in the market. However, they overlap in many ways. After all, many of those who were planning to purchase a Grant, Largus or Priora, after the new sedan entered the market, thought about changing their guidelines, sometimes to the detriment of their own needs. The same applies to potential owners of LADA Largus. Moreover, this decision is largely dictated by the parameters of the cars.

The new product from AvtoVAZ has already gained sufficient popularity. She is capable of trying to lure buyers of models that occupy a completely different niche in the market. Trying to understand which is better than Lada Vesta or Lada Largus, corresponding comparisons of appearance, dynamics and interior were made. The comparison may not look correct, but since the models are produced by the same representative, there is sufficient reason to compare them. "What to choose?" – this question is quite appropriate for car enthusiasts.
Transmission
Largus can only boast a 5-speed manual transmission. Vesta has two mechanical transmissions, and in addition, an AMT-type robotic gearbox. Vesta's transmissions are also 5-speed, but of much higher build quality than those of Largus. Its gearbox is more comfortable due to new synchronizers and an enlarged shaft, which reduce noise.
AvtoVAZ abandoned the automatic transmission in favor of a robotic one. The motivation for this solution is low cost and ease of maintenance and operation.
Car appearance
The history of the appearance of Lada Largus takes roots from the French subcompact car Renault Logan. This adds prestige and respectability to this vehicle. Lada Vesta is a newer and more modern car, and the advertising campaign to promote the car was carried out at a high level. It follows that the first impression made by competitors is on the same level.
Comparison of Lada Vesta and Lada Largus is reasonable, given the external and internal attractiveness of the sedan, spacious trunk and good cross-country ability. The Largus station wagon has an impressive body - this is its main trump card in the fight for buyers.
Potential buyers of the 7-seater model, those who really need it, are difficult to tempt with the new sedan. However, manufacturers are working on a similar universal package for Vesta. If you wait a little, you may be able to purchase a more popular model.
Let's sum it up
We made a comparison, and you probably decided which of the two models is better: LADA Largus or LADA Vesta. Purchasing a Largus station wagon will be a justified action only when there is an urgent need for this particular type of body, and the competitors the client likes are located very “far” outside this price segment. In all other situations, we recommend taking a closer look at the more modern, powerful, bright and original Vesta, which rightfully won the palm in our unusual comparative review.
General vehicle parameters
Comparison of Lada Vesta and Lada Largus The indicators differ, but not enough to confidently give preference to one of the models.
- Largus is slightly longer than its new opponent - 4470 mm. versus 4410.
- The width of the sedan exceeds the parameters of the station wagon - 1764 and 1750.
- The latter weighs a little more and has more interior capacity.
- Vesta, due to its configuration, is noticeably lower than Lada Largus - 1497 and 1670 mm.
- In terms of ground clearance, the proven station wagon has 145mm. The ground clearance of the new model is significantly higher (178 mm).
- The trunk volume of the Lada Largus is 560 liters, Vesta - 480, which is also quite a lot.
- The longitudinal distance between the axles of the front and rear wheels of the station wagon is much greater (2905 mm); Vesta has a wheelbase of 2635 mm.

The ground clearance indicated in the passport differs from the real one. To test it, AvtoMPS journalists used a 245 mm wide tire. In both cars, the tire passed between the wheels, but got caught on the bottom.
What do competitors look like externally?
Lada Largus looks like a car that came from another era.
- The front has straight lines, clearly visible headlights, round foglights, a slightly sloped hood, a black radiator with one chrome strip.
- The profile is also old-fashioned: the doors are defined by smooth outlines, the wheel rims are very simple in design. The exterior of Largus looks quite consistent, but not for our time.
- The rear area has sliding doors with large glass windows. There is a low bumper. Lada Vesta is more modern and sportier.
- The radiator grille smoothly merges into the air intake. Stylish headlights complement the memorable curves of the front part.
- The profile is designed in an interesting “X-style”, the roof of the car slopes back somewhat, and the split spokes of the wheels leave a good impression.
- The stern is distinguished by the trunk lid, bumper and large logo inscription.
Exterior, what is the difference between Largus and Vesta
The difference in appearance is quite noticeable, but which is better in this case, Lada Largus or Lada Vesta. Here you can safely attach the prefix “retro” to the Largus model, since against its background Vesta is positioned as a promising new product. The station wagon is endowed with calm body lines in terms of design. This is more than confirmed by the contours of the hood, head optics and front grille. If you look at the profile of this car, the viewer is visited by sadness and despondency, because the simplicity of the design is not capable of concealing zest. The station wagon's stern delivers a similar sensation. Here is a long-boring narrow bumper, the contours of which are repeated by the lines of stretched brake lights. The large glass area does not border on a sporty appearance.
If we compare, Vesta against this background is the complete opposite. The exterior design is replete with fashionable delights. The front of the car hints at speed and eccentricity, and the side panels will delight you with the modern trends of the now fashionable “X” style, which is echoed by the presence of the corresponding form of stampings. The front part is especially chic thanks to the grille, which blends smoothly with the intakes for oncoming air flow. The anti-fog optics have a distinctive style, as if emphasizing a hint of solidity. Let's continue the comparison.
Comparison of engines and transmissions of two models
Comparison of engines The sedan has complete superiority in dynamics, maximum speed and fuel consumption. The designers remind us that new modifications of Vesta engines will be developed in the future. No such ideas are foreseen for Largus; it will drive on old models of engines.
The Lada Vesta has an internal combustion engine of 106 hp/1.6 l. The car accelerates to hundreds in 12 seconds. (with AMT – 12.8). The maximum speed of the sedan is 178 km/h. Fuel consumption in the city is 8.9. The station wagon has an engine with a power of 87 hp. /1.6 liters. A heavy car with poor aerodynamics accelerates to hundreds in 14.2, and the maximum speed is determined at around 160 km/h. The car consumes 10.5 liters of gasoline in the city.
Largus modifications have only a 5-speed manual transmission. Vesta has two “mechanics” and one AMT installed. The build quality and functionality of the new product's gearbox are superior to the opponent's transmission. Vesta does not have a machine gun, which was abandoned in favor of a domestic robot.
Transmission options in Lada models
We continue the comparison to understand which is better among the domestic cars LADA Largus or LADA Vesta. The Largus equipment in this part looks modest, because this model only has a five-speed manual transmission.
If we compare, for Vesta the manufacturer was not greedy and provided two “mechanics” options, as well as a progressive “AMT” robot. Let us remind you that both versions of mechanical units are reliable and have a similar arsenal of five stages. Here we see the fact that VAZ designers abandoned the classic “automatic” in favor of a “robot”. Time will tell how true this is.
Chassis and interior
The suspension of both cars is the same, but the handling of the new Lada is better, since the chassis has a larger number of chips, and the car is not burdened with a heavy body. Vesta thoroughly confirms that this is a modern vehicle. The station wagon's interior is simple and discreet.
- Inside the Vesta's cabin, you can see high-quality finishing materials, a steering wheel that fits comfortably into your hands, thick seats, plenty of space in the back, and a suitable color scheme.
- The interior design of Largus is distinguished by straight lines, metal inserts on black plastic and simple indicators on the control panel. The monotony is slightly reduced by orange colors. The station wagon's interior is quite comfortable, but boring.
Interior
The XRAY interior has a number of details that were carried over from the “French”, as well as parts of the interior that were developed by AvtoVAZ. The instrument clusters are very similar, with the same arrangement of indicators and on-board computer.
Both hatchbacks have the same multimedia system (MMS), but it is located at different heights. On XRAY it is higher, which will allow you not to lower your eyes down to read the readings, as on Renault.
The climate control unit is located in the same place. But unlike Sandero, XRAY has an indicator on the block indicating the set temperature.
The XRAY trunk is 70 mm longer, which makes it more spacious. In addition, VAZ took into account the shortcomings of the French hatchback and made the loading height significantly lower. The advantage of Renault is the presence of side trunk niches.
Dimensions and exterior
The appearance of the Lada Cross has not yet become familiar on the streets. First, buyers will try the station wagon, and then traditionally will pay attention to the all-terrain version. The signature X-shaped style of the radiator grille and body sides has not gone away and continues to develop in the new model from Tolyatti. The most equipped Exclusive variant has colors unavailable for the sedan, and the roof and rear-view mirror housings are painted in high-gloss black.
Vesta Cross length is 4424 mm, vehicle width is 1785 mm, height with roof rails is 1532 mm. The “Cross” version is 4 millimeters longer and 2 centimeters higher than the “asphalt” station wagon due to large 17-inch wheels, increased ground clearance and black lining on aggressive-looking bumpers.
Length of Lada Largus Cross - 4470 mm, width - 1756 mm, height - 1682 mm. Ground clearance is 195 mm, which is 25 mm more than the “road” version.
There are few external differences between Largus Cross and his brother, but if you look closely you notice the details. The regular Largus is equipped with 15-inch wheels, and the Cross is equipped with 16-inch wheels, while the spare wheel on the “regular” version is 15-inch, complete, and the Largus Cross has a 15-inch spare wheel. Alloy wheels on Largus are available only in the maximum configuration, while Cross has them by default. The Cross body is covered with unpainted plastic around the perimeter: unpainted bumpers, door sills and arches. A couple of years after the car entered the market, reviews of car owners often began to mention bugs under the plastic and worn paint. This is due to the fastening of the protection, which does not fit tightly to the body.
Exterior
Externally, the cars look as if they came from different eras, and this comparison is by no means in favor of Lagrus.
Its straight lines in the front, contoured headlights, round foglights, a sloping hood, the black “mouth” of the radiator grille, which is intersected only by one wide chrome strip, the utilitarian air intake mesh - all this would have been out of place 10, or even 15 years ago, but not now.
The front of the Lada Largus is simple and uncomplicated, like the whole car.
In profile, the impressions are about the same. Everything is overly old-fashioned. Smooth door lines, simple rims, simple stampings and small body overhangs. All this looks quite harmonious, but not modern. Only the moldings on the door panels brighten up the picture somewhat.
From the side the picture is the same. And only black moldings somehow dilute this grayness.
The rear, with its sliding rear door format, large windows, elongated stops, as well as a low and narrow bumper, only confirms the first impression.
Behind Largus everything is in the same format - no revelations.
Whether it's Lada Vesta! Catchy design, smooth transitions of body lines and other essential attributes of a modern car.
The front end is memorable for the brilliant curves of the lines of the letter “X”, setting off the blackness of the radiator grille, which imperceptibly turns into the air intake. The faceted optics look no less impressive, as do the fog lights, “settled” below, in stylish seats.
The front of the Lada Vesta is much more aggressive. The speed in him is overflowing.
The tilted silhouette of the car from the side is no less impressive. on the sidewalls, the split spokes of the wheel rims, the slightly tilted roof, the feet climbing onto the rear fenders and other elements are immediately remembered.
Vesta looks no worse from the side, regardless of color.
Vesta looks no less impressive from behind. Large letters formed into the word “LADA”, trunk lid, feet, bumper – all this looks organic, creating one complete ensemble!
It is gratifying that the designers worked with no less persistence on the appearance of the stern of the LADA Vesta.
Car interior
The interior decoration of Vesta Cross is more similar to its classmates from Korea. The plant motifs are the same here - the lines are smooth, there are almost no sharp corners or straight shapes. The car is not like other models of the Tolyatti plant: the Vesta series stands apart from them. The instrument panels are in three deep, large wells, the seat cushions are long and moderately hard, and in the center console there is a multimedia screen with a border of air ducts. Everything is convenient and at hand.
The interior of the Lada Largus Cross is distinguished by diamond-shaped stitching on the seats and gray inserts in the dashboard. They can also be orange, adding bright touches to a restrained, if not boring, interior. You don't need to pay extra for them.
Which car is more prestigious
The latest trends in the field of domestic automotive fashion emphasize that Vesta is endowed with a much more advantageous appearance, and its popularity is fueled by a well-promoted advertising campaign. Against this background, Largus looks like a “dark horse”. Before the comparative review, let’s remember who was at the origins of the domestic station wagon? It can’t be, but this is Renault Logan itself and its Romanian “derivative” - Dacia Logan MCV. Such roots are worth a lot, so in the “prestige” discipline, the absolute parity of our participants should be noted.
Compare configurations and prices
By analogy with the sedan, Vesta Cross is offered in three versions: Classic, Comfort and Luxe.
The initial Classic version costs just under 600 thousand.
The list of equipment in this equipment option already includes everything necessary from the list of requirements for a modern car: driver and front passenger airbags, ISOFIX child seat mounts, child locking of the rear doors, automatic door locking when driving, automatic door unlocking and hazard warning lights. in case of a collision, immobilizer, security alarm, daytime running lights, ERA-GLONASS emergency warning system, anti-lock brakes with emergency brake booster, electronic brake force distribution, stability control, traction control, hill start assist, electric front doors , heated front seats, electric drive and heated exterior mirrors.

Summary of comparison between Vesta SW Cross and Largus Cross
When creating the Lada Largus Cross, AVTOVAZ engineers were faced with the task of maintaining the handling of the cross-version at the level of a regular station wagon. You won’t be able to notice the difference between a “raised” car and its road version on a good road. But on dirt roads or broken asphalt, the Largus Cross slightly improves in terms of ride smoothness due to the increased rolling radius of the wheel and wider tires.
Largus with the “Cross” prefix spends more gasoline than a simple station wagon. This is 1.4 liters in the city and 0.8 liters on the highway. This is due to changed gear ratios, larger wheels and an additional 35 kilograms of weight. An important nuance: the 102-horsepower sixteen-valve Largus Cross engine is designed for AI-95, and the eight-valve unit of the “regular” Largus can be powered by the 92. The difference in maintenance costs is significant.
Largus Cross costs as much as a well-equipped Vesta Cross. It has just as many options and can carry more cargo thanks to its van-shaped body. On the other hand, many will be put off by the appearance of this car and the interior, which evokes memories of the French automobile industry of the early 2000s. Vesta Cross looks more interesting in appearance, and if AVTOVAZ, as they say, worked on stable build quality, then there is only one option left in the same price category - the new Lada model.
Exterior
Returning to the overview of the trunk, you can notice the different locations of the unlocking buttons. In X Ray it is in a place familiar to many owners of foreign cars - under the “saber”, and in Renault it is on the front side of the fifth door. The trunk lid in the open position is higher on the Sandero.
Other differences that the authors of the video managed to find:
- XRAY has a gas cap without a lock;
- In XRAY, instead of parking sensors, AvtoVAZ installed a rear view camera.
In addition, AutoMPS tested two hatchbacks on off-road terrain, where both cars performed at an equal level:
According to Pyotr Menshikh and Igor Silin, AvtoVAZ has created a good, harmonious car that is suitable for the city or country house. Unlike Renault, Lada will have a more powerful engine under the hood. But, in their opinion, the interior is assembled better than Renault. If the price of "Khrey" is not too high, then it will be a serious competitor to a foreign car.
Let us remind you that we studied the new Lada model in more detail on the AvtoVesti channel.
