Decoding of Lada Vesta configurations (Classic, Comfort, Luxe)

Every year the manufacturer expands the LADA Vesta model range. At the end of 2022, the next “batch of new products” with an engine capacity of 1.8 liters and a power of 122 hp went on sale. By default, a manual transmission is preinstalled.

The range of Lada Vesta is so wide that it is extremely difficult to choose a car “for yourself” the first time; you will need the help of a car dealership manager.

Let's sum it up

“Lada Vesta” seems to all testers – both journalists and ordinary car enthusiasts – to be a comfortable car, pleasant to drive. It’s very interesting to watch the “Lada Vesta test drive video 2016” and see with your own eyes that the car is really worth the attention of car enthusiasts. “Lada Vesta test drive video 2016 manual” clearly shows all the advantages of a manual gearbox compared to a robotic gearbox. However, it is too early to say that the robot box has no future. This, like the automatic transmission, is an acquired taste. Some people may like the robot much more than the “mechanics”. Watching the “Lada Vesta test drive video” makes you think about purchasing such a car: quite affordable from a financial point of view, quite comfortable and quite elegant for its class.

Of course, the car also has its drawbacks. But let’s face it, the ideal car exists solely in the imagination of the car enthusiast. Any car, even if it is the coolest foreign car, has certain disadvantages. They may be small, but they are there. As for budget cars, the Lada Vesta is currently a fairly good representative of this class, much better than many.

So the Italian tests of the Lada Vesta can be safely considered successful. Sharp turns, descents and ascents, high speeds - all this is available to the car. Fans of country and tourist trips will find the spacious trunk as well as the comfort of the cabin useful. The elegance of the appearance is a pleasant addition to the filling of the car and brings the Lada Vesta to the wide expanses of the car market from the corner backyards. At the same time, the car is quite economical to operate: in urban conditions it consumes 10.1 l/100 km, on the highway – only 6 l/100 km, and in mixed mode – 7.5 l/100 km.

But the final decision on the “professional suitability” of a car for Russian roads can be made only after a test drive in winter conditions, on winter Russian roads - with saltiness, snowstorms, icy conditions, low air temperatures, and so on. Then it will be clear whether the Lada Vesta needs additional adaptation to the conditions of Russia, or whether the engine will start right up even in severe frosts, and the car will hold the road even on clean, smooth ice. Next we will look at the Vesta test drive in the video below.

1.	Sergey Ivanovich , 44 years old (otzovik.com): I bought it two years ago in the Standard configuration, no comments, the car is good.
2.	Mikhail Krasnov , 40 years old (www.zr.ru): I live in a village, the road surface is not very good, the cabin is quiet, the suspension copes at 100%.
3.	Vladimir , 22 years old (autobann.su): finally, a domestic manufacturer has learned how to make the Lada Vesta - an almost perfect car.
4.	Daniil , 33 years old (lada-vesta.net): a year has passed since the purchase of the car, the condition is like new, there are no comments. I fix minor damage myself.

6.	Stepanovich , 44 years old (www.zr.ru): I spent a long time choosing between “Comfort” and “Standard”. On the recommendation of the car dealership manager, I bought Comfort, the decision was right, I’m not upset.
7.	Stepanovich , 20 years old (autobann.su): the car is in its third year, and its technical condition is as if it came from the showroom. I systematically look after it, treat it with care, and carry out technical inspections.
8.	Valik , 43 years old (lada-vesta.net): the choice was between the second generation Renault Logan and Lada Vesta, preference for the domestic manufacturer.

Exterior and interior

At the first glance at the LADA Vesta, it becomes obvious: this car has no noticeable national features; it can be called a typical car in its class. This Lada is too similar to a foreign car to immediately recognize it as a product of the domestic automobile industry. But maybe this is for the better: the current generation of drivers no longer remembers the times when the Lada was considered the ultimate dream, but it has a certain stereotype about what a car should look like. Actually, the Lada Vesta looks like this - in full accordance with the expectations of car enthusiasts. The X-shaped design, chosen by the new head of AvtoVAZ style, Steve Mattin, gives the LADA Vesta some imported charm.
