Reviews

Initially, when starting the engine, the wipers operate once. It seems like nonsense, but not for winter. Also, when starting, the engine seems to “sag”, something goes somewhere. I lost 2 days in the company’s service, they couldn’t understand or fix anything, everything is written off to the factory. When yesterday I spent the last 10 hours in the service center, waiting for what was about to happen, I began to speak in understandable Russian jargon.

My masters completely dismantled and reassembled old cars in such a time. There’s a new car and here’s the problem. We haven't encountered this with others. Conclusion: either again everyone is doing it in Russian, or the servicemen are without heads and hands. I've owned the car for less than a month, it's just a shame. I will wait for the result."

Video review

Recognizable design. Finally, Zhiguli cars have such an appearance that you want to buy them. Vesta's handling is excellent, there is good ground clearance, the headlights are adjusted correctly - they illuminate the road decently. I have no complaints about the interior. Except that I would have arranged the air flow direction buttons differently.

On mine, already at 5,000 km, the stabilizer struts began to rattle and this problem is widespread. Noise insulation is tolerable, but it could be better; at speeds of 100 km/h, air currents begin to be very audible.

The heating control system is poorly configured. The display on which the heating level is adjusted has 15 (I think) divisions. So, the car will be warm only starting from the 12th division, even from the 13th. In other words, in winter there are two modes: the first 12 divisions are cold air, the last 3 are hot.

The front seat headrest is very disappointing, it is so bad that I want to throw it out, but driving without it is much more pleasant. No matter how you adjust it in height, it does not allow you to lean your back on the chair. He stupidly tilts his head forward so that after a long trip his cervical spine hurts. The seat in the chair is not large: it is short and narrow, so for me, being 180 cm tall, it is not very comfortable to sit.

Vitaly Gusev, drives a Lada Vesta 1.6 (106 hp) manual 2015.

When buying a Lada Vesta using an AMT robot, in principle, I knew in advance what I was getting ready for. From myself, what can I say - if you drive in the city cycle, without trying to kick everyone at the traffic lights, then you don’t pay attention to the work of the robot at all. The shift is noticeable only between 1st and 2nd gears, then the shifts are smooth and unnoticeable.

If you drive faster than usual, the robot does not always understand what you want from it. 1st and 2nd gears shift as they wish - maybe the engine is almost at the cut-off point, or maybe it will already shift from 20 km/h. It also engages 4th gear early - literally a couple of seconds after engaging 3rd gear. As a result, the delay between 2nd and 4th gears is significant.

Main overall dimensions and parameters

Lada Vesta is a 4-door spacious sedan, the interior of which is designed for five people. In 2022, the AvtoVAZ concern plans to release a restyled version of the sedan and begin sales of a new body version - the Lada Vesta station wagon.

The characteristics of the Lada Vesta sedan are presented below:

Powertrains and transmission

Vehicle power unit Today, Lada Vesta is equipped with two four-cylinder 16-valve gasoline engines:

• the base 1.6-liter power unit has a capacity of 106 “horses”;
• a more powerful 122-horsepower engine of 1.8 liters in volume.

Vehicle performance depends on many factors, including the selected transmission.

In 2022, it will be possible to equip more powerful 122-horsepower engines with manual transmission. The new Lada Vesta will accelerate to hundreds in 10.2 seconds, and its top speed will increase to 188. Average fuel consumption in the combined cycle will be 7.5 liters per hundred kilometers.

Characteristics of the engine, transmission and chassis

Under the hood of the “Comfort” package, engineers from the Togliatti concern placed an internal combustion engine numbered 21129, which meets Euro5 toxicity standards, and domestic “mechanics”. The suspension is divided into front and rear. The first consists of MacPherson struts, the second is a torsion beam, reliable and durable.

New AvtoVAZ

The new Lada Vesta model in a “universal” body has long been discussed in media sources and on automotive Internet portals. Photos of the Lada Vesta in its new guise presented on websites have caused heated discussions among car enthusiasts. Photos of the interior are very similar to the current interior of the sedan. The similarity in size and appearance is largely due to the fact that the station wagon will be assembled at the same plant in Izhevsk where the sedan is currently being assembled.

Most likely, the new Lada Vesta, like the sedan, will be equipped with three configuration options. What a real station wagon will look like will become known in the near future. The start of sales is scheduled for this fall.

LADA Vesta SW › Equipment

Select a package to view basic equipment and additional modification options.

The Lada Vesta, which recently entered mass production, has caused many disputes and discussions. The first independent tests and samples showed an excellent result compared to previous failures of AvtoVAZ - the car really exceeded the expectations of domestic consumers in most respects.

At the same time, the Lada Vesta in the “Comfort” configuration included a lot of components that are pleasant for the driver and very useful in practice. The cost of this average configuration, which is especially surprising, was only slightly higher than the price of the basic set of options, called “Classic”. What exactly the long-awaited Lada Vesta “Comfort”, which has glorified itself for its quality, included, will be interesting for every driver to know.

Results

Everything that is included in the comfort package is also available for the Optima and Image packages. The differences lie in the first case - in the heated windshield, in the second - the presence of rear windows. The version is quite balanced and has the necessary options. Photos of the interior and exterior, as well as the dynamic characteristics of a powerful engine, efficient manual transmission and durable suspension indicate that such a car is attractive to consumers and is worth the money.

The price of Lada Vesta Comfort is 570,000 rubles. Additional packages add to the cost from 15,000 to 30 thousand rubles.

Main characteristics

The driving characteristics of the Lada Vesta “Comfort” are no different from the basic configuration. The “average” car is also equipped with a 1.6-liter VAZ engine with a rated power of 106 horsepower. The gearbox, however, was taken from French assemblers (the same was used on some Renault models). It is noteworthy that the manufacturer gave preference to the manual transmission - automatic transmission is not included in any equipment of the Lada Vesta car, and “Comfort” is no exception. However, even connoisseurs of automatic transmissions cannot help but recognize the advantages of the transmission used in the design: unlike previous AvtoVAZ developments, the Lada Vesta in the Comfort configuration does not make noise at high speeds and is much easier to drive.

COMFORT package

Lada Vesta is available in 3 trim levels: - Classic - Comfort - Luxury

The cost of “Comfort” starts from 598 thousand rubles. The “Comfort” package can take on a wide variety of variations: Here, unlike the “Classic” package, 2 engines are already available: 1.6l and 1.8l and, accordingly, two gearboxes: mechanical, robot. I would like to immediately note that none of the comfort variations has fog lights (PTF) or a touchscreen audio system.

Engine

Until the end of 2016, the entire line of trim levels had one engine with a power of 107 hp. with index 21129. This is the same 127th engine, with the same technical characteristics, but already meeting Euro-5 environmental standards in order to open a window to Europe.

Now Vesta is equipped with a new domestic power unit with a volume of 1.8 liters and 122 hp. In the future, the installation of a Renault-Nissan alliance engine with a capacity of 114 hp is expected, and there is also talk of a domestic development with a capacity of 1.8 liters. 122 hp

Regardless of the configuration, the 1.8L engine will cost more than the 1.6L by 25 thousand rubles.

Audio system

The 2-din audio system is in the comfort package, the “guts” of which were transferred here from the Kalina/Priora and features a push-button monochrome display with a radio, the ability to connect a flash drive, aux, and bluetooth. 4 coaxial speakers act as loudspeakers. The touch panel is available in the Multimedia package.

Comfort 000 equipment

Unlike the basic package for 545 thousand rubles, the cheapest comfort package (Comfort 000) already includes an eyeglass case, lumbar support, heated and electric mirrors, parking sensors, air conditioning, a cooled glove compartment, and a front passenger airbag with a shutdown function. Also, unlike the classic version, the mirrors and door handles will already be painted in the body color.

Comfort package + “Image” package

The Image package includes a heated windshield, rear power windows, and 16-piece alloy wheels with a full-size spare tire. The cost of the package is 23 thousand rubles . The version with a robotic gearbox adds 25 thousand rubles to the cost.

Comfort package + Multimedia package

The cost of the package is 24t.r. Multimedia package includes:

• 7-inch touch screen with bluetooth, aux, rds, usb, etc. functions.
• Cruise control
• Speed ​​Limit
• Multi-steering wheel
• Rear View Camera

Cost of the COMFORT package

Comfort 000 — 598 thousand rubles. Comfort + package “Image” - 621 thousand rubles. Comfort 000 + Multimedia = 622 thousand rubles Comfort 1.8 = 623 thousand rubles.

In other words, you can create absolutely any variation of the “Comfort” configuration in order to best satisfy the needs of the Vesta owner. It is worth noting that previously this configuration was significantly different; for example, you could only get a Touch Screen in a luxury suite. Home page

Options for comfort

The equipment of the Lada Vesta sedan and those who value convenience more than driving characteristics are very pleased. The configuration of the Lada Vesta in a hatchback body will most likely be composed in a similar way (for now only a sedan is being produced - other types of bodies are still under development). The manufacturers really tried to make sure that the name of their virtuoso assembly really spoke.

Among the pleasant nuances that are not available in a cheaper assembly, it is worth noting the presence of heated front seats in addition to the standard air conditioning. Driving in winter will be more enjoyable for connoisseurs of the domestic automobile industry. Also, the equipment of the new Lada Vesta includes stability systems ABS and ESC - and they are also available in the basic version. Another really important difference between the average set of options and the basic one will be the presence of parking sensors: contrary to popular belief, this control element is useful not only for novice drivers.

I wonder what else is included in the Lada Vesta “Comfort” package? This is a full-fledged audio system that replaces the standard radio with the ability to play a variety of storage media - from disks to flash cards. There is also the option of connecting the audio system via Bluetooth to other devices (for example, a mobile phone).

However, the most joyful news for Russian drivers will be the variety of trim levels in their average value. The general director of AvtoVAZ said that at least seven more different sets of options can be added to the Lada Vesta Comfort (for example, Optima - additional equipment for heating the windshield and replacing the wheels with cast ones with a radius of 15 inches).

The appearance of the interior shown in the photo, of course, does not reach that of a luxury car. Nevertheless, everything is appropriate here, everything is really necessary and useful, and at the same time, nothing is superfluous. Considering the fairly low price that the buyer will have to pay for this neat and aesthetically attractive car, we can say with confidence that the purchase will be worth it.

The first disadvantages of Lada Vesta

It took me the longest to get used to the reverse gear, but this is just a matter of habit. The bigger problem for me was the short second gear. I’m used to the fact that in a Lada Priora you can drive in second gear from the start to 60 km/h. This is not the case in Vesta. But the on-board robot tells you when to change gear. I also didn’t get used to the robot right away. Although now you can’t live without a robot.

In automatic mode, the Lada Vesta SW Cross jerks and kicks, so I almost immediately switched to manual mode. I’ve always driven a manual, it’s not a problem for me, maybe former owners of an automatic will think differently. In Vesta, AMT is good on the highway, when traveling long distances, especially if the road is half empty.

Vesta SW Cross has a few more minor disadvantages that became noticeable later:

• Small interior rearview mirror, so-so overview;
• There are no anthers on the engine, this only affects the appearance of the engine compartment, but as a fact;
• Hard plastic on the front panel, different in texture (but we must pay tribute, it looks presentable);
• The air conditioner's knobs are weak and are about to fall off.
• Fabric upholstery on the back of the seats. Since I am driving a child, this is not very convenient. I had to buy covers.

If you have read about the 2022 Lada Vesta Cross owner reviews, you have probably heard about many other shortcomings. I also read about other disadvantages, but I only write what caught my eye. Everyone has their own criteria.

Now about the advantages of the Lada Vesta SV, I liked it:

• Galvanized body;
• Spacious interior;
• The trunk is roomy;
• Good handling in the city and on the highway;
• Average gasoline consumption is 7-8 liters;
• There is cruise and a manual speed limiter;
• Very beautiful and functional steering wheel;
• Parking sensors and rear view camera work great;
• Good climate control system;
• Good suspension;
• Ground clearance 18 cm!

In Lada Vesta, I incredibly like the appearance of the body and interior design. A very comfortable driver's seat with a long seat cushion and comfortable armrests. Passengers don't complain either. There is enough space in the cabin. Also in the Vesta the steering is very easy, and you feel a large reserve on the brakes.

A lot has been said about this Lada; the car has been on sale for a long time. I will add from myself. It’s clear that VAZ developers, when creating the new Lada Vesta, took into account the wishes of car owners in everything: from the body to the configuration. The new model turned out to be not ideal, but worthwhile. I believe that if you don’t have enough money for a foreign car, then the Lada Vesta is a completely worthy purchase! The car is worth the money, plus the prices for spare parts are also low.
