The Lada Vesta sedan received an all-terrain version
The Lada Vesta Cross sedan concept was presented at the Moscow Motor Show.
In 2022, AvtoVAZ presented an all-terrain station wagon, and in April 2018, the Vesta Cross sedan. Both cars feature striking designs, all-terrain exteriors and increased ground clearance. Engineers also modified the chassis of the cars, improving their driving characteristics. Let's start the review with the all-terrain station wagon.
In late August 2015, at the international exhibition dedicated to SUVs, crossovers and all-terrain vehicles then held in Moscow, the concept of the Lada Vesta Cross station wagon and its photo were officially presented. To turn an ordinary sedan into an all-terrain version, the designers made over 300 changes to it (the sedan concept appeared the next year).
The presentation to the public of a promising prototype of the Lada Vesta SV Cross Concept station wagon at the Moscow Off-road Show was carried out jointly by the chief designer of AvtoVAZ, Steve Mattin, and the already former president of the company, Bo Andersson. The base of the station wagon was borrowed from the sedan, but it is noted that 320 changes were made to the design of the concept, as can be seen in the photo of the Vesta Cross (see below). To the credit of the automaker, the serial all-terrain station wagon, as well as the future sedan, which received the official name Lada Vesta SW Cross and presented in the summer of 2022, is not much different from the concept (see photo).
Initially, the start date for production was called September 25, 2016, the start of sales was autumn 2016, and at the Moscow Motor Show, rumors about a postponement were confirmed. As a result, production began in September 2022, and sales began on October 26 . The price for the Lada Vesta Cross station wagon starts from 755.5 thousand rubles for the basic and so far only Luxe package. Both the station wagon and the sedan do not have all-wheel drive .

Additional payment for metallic body painting is RUB 12,000. Additional payment for the exclusive color “Carthage” RUB 18,000.
Detailed prices and configurations
Due to unstable market conditions, prices may change
At first, the Lada Vesta SW Cross, like the sedan, will be offered in the only maximum configuration “Luxe” with a number of option packages.
For this version, which includes side airbags, a climate control system, rain and light sensors and a heated windshield, 17” alloy wheels and a hill start assistant, they will ask from 756 thousand rubles (the price of the Vesta Cross sedan will be slightly below) . “Multimedia” package , offered for 780 thousand rubles , includes a multimedia system with a 7” touch screen and navigation, as well as a rear view camera. The most expensive package is “Prestige” (from 823 thousand rubles ), among other things, it includes LED interior lighting, tinted rear windows and a central armrest.
The price of the most expensive Lada Vesta SV Cross station wagon reaches 848 thousand: for this money the buyer receives a 1.8 liter engine paired with a “robot” in the “Luxe” configuration with the “Prestige” package.
In total, 10 colors are available for the Vesta Cross, both sedan and station wagon, but you will have to pay an additional 12 thousand for metallic, and 18 thousand rubles for the Carthage color. Orange “Mars” is an exclusive color for the crossover version of the station wagon.
Color “Carthage”
The issue of cost was the cornerstone, for a long time everyone was just guessing and guessing. Taking into account the price of the sedan, one could also assume the price of the Lada Vesta Cross - a cost of less than 610-630 thousand rubles is hardly possible. True, for this money the buyer will receive an almost “naked” station wagon. According to the president of AvtoVAZ, the price for the top version of Vesta Cross (as in all official photos) will exceed 800 thousand rubles. At that time, a final decision on the cost had not been made, and the price of Vesta Cross could fluctuate significantly, including depending on the technical characteristics. However, in reality, AvtoVAZ has abandoned the initial and middle versions and offers only the maximum Luxe package (from 755.9 thousand rubles ) with a set of packages. If the company decides to produce an all-wheel drive Lada Vesta Cross 4x4 station wagon, then the price for it will obviously be higher than 950 thousand rubles, which is probably why we will only see a single-wheel drive version for now.
Price for the 2022 Lada Vesta Cross station wagon: from 755.9 thousand rubles for the basic configuration , and 847.9 thousand rubles for the maximum configuration .
Photo of the interior of the serial Lada Vesta SV Cross (the sedan has the same design). As you can see, the all-terrain version is distinguished by bright inserts, as well as orange-colored instruments and glossy door handles. Such a car will cost more than 800 thousand.
Outdated! in December 2016, AvtoVAZ President Nicolas More named the estimated price for the Vesta SW Cross in the region of 800 thousand rubles , but without specifying for what configuration. If this is the minimum version, then those rich station wagons (1.8+AMT) can reach a price of up to 1 million rubles. In any case, details will become known in the fall of 2022.
While developing the station wagon's interior, AvtoVAZ added a number of new options that were previously absent in the Lada family. a full-fledged armrest appeared between the front seats in combination with a small internal box for small items. The armrest installed on sedans is intended exclusively for the driver; there is no box in it; in addition, owners complain about problems with the locking mechanism. In addition, the front seats of Vesta SW Cross are heated with three stages , the rear seat is also heated - the power buttons are located behind the central armrest. Plus, there is a 12-volt outlet and a USB port for rear passengers.
Compared to the sedan, the rear passengers of station wagons have 25 mm of additional headroom, and the rear seatback can be folded in either a 2/3 or 1/3 ratio. Among the external features, it is worth noting 17-inch wheels (in rich trim levels).
Trunk
The station wagon is distinguished by excellent organization of the luggage compartment: the rear seats can be folded in a ratio of 60/40 , resulting in 825 liters of volume ( or 480 liters when not folded out). The advantages include various nets, hooks and fastenings, as well as an opening button on the tailgate itself.
Multimedia system
A multimedia system with a 7-inch screen offers your favorite music, radio news, and hands-free telephone communication. Everything you need to make your trip faster and more enjoyable! And the navigator will make travel not only faster, but also easier and more efficient. The image from the rear view camera is displayed on the multimedia screen - together with parking sensors, this ensures confident maneuvering in cramped cities.
Technical characteristics of Lada Vesta Cross
All cars from the Vesta family, including the all-terrain station wagon, will have the same range of engines: the base 1.6 liter with 106 hp. and the most powerful VAZ power unit – 1.8 liter with 122 “horses” .
Gearboxes will be represented by both a “robot” made in Tolyatti and conventional mechanics, just like on a sedan. Moreover, only a manual transmission will be combined with the 1.6 engine; the “robot” is available only with the older 1.8 liter engine.
All trim levels will feature disc brakes at the rear instead of drum brakes. all-wheel drive on the Vesta SV Cross in the near future. Pseudo off-road performance is ensured by high ground clearance (203 mm, which is more than Renault Duster!) and plastic lining around the perimeter of the body.
Dimensions
Length : 4424 mm Width: 1785 mm (over the body) Height: 1532 mm (over the roof with roof rails) Wheelbase: 2635 mm Ground clearance: 203 mm
At the moment, this is all that is known about the technical characteristics of the 2022 Lada Vesta Cross station wagon.
All-wheel drive 4x4
Initially, only front-wheel drive cars with increased ground clearance will be produced; the production of a version with 4x4 all-wheel drive is still a big question. If the Vesta Cross 4x4 version appears, it will happen no earlier than 2022, since AvtoVAZ says that all-wheel drive is not a priority, but if there is demand, they are ready to offer it.
The most spacious cabin in the class
The spacious interior is what you need for city trips and long journeys! Every detail has been thought out in the interior - from driver's seat adjustments to new, more comfortable cup holders, from a cooled glove box to heated all seats. All LADAs of the Cross line have a two-color interior: gray or orange inserts emphasize the optimistic character of the car.
Start of production and start of sales
Previously, it was planned that production of the station wagon should begin on September 25, 2016, exactly one year after the launch of the sedan. In the spring of 2016, information appeared about problems with suppliers at the Lada Izhevsk plant, in connection with this, the start of production of Vesta Cross may shift to the end of 2016 or the beginning of 2022. As a result, at the Moscow Motor Show, AvtoVAZ representatives announced that mass production began only on September 11, 2022 . The start of sales is expected on October 26.
On September 11, the price of the Lada Vesta Cross Estate, as well as the configuration and detailed technical specifications finally became known.

↑ Painting technology
The technological process of painting a body includes two main stages: priming and painting.
Important! Phosphate priming of metal products is good protection against corrosion.
Phosphoric acid forms salts with iron and zinc, which is used in phosphating surfaces.
Phosphates do not combine with oxygen, so they are not destroyed under the influence of water, atmospheric air and aggressive environments, and can withstand temperature changes from -75 to 500 degrees.
Priming includes several stages:
At the first stage, the surface is cleaned of traces of corrosion, degreased, washed and dried. For this purpose, sandblasting machines, pickling, washing and drying chambers are used.
The process of applying primer is carried out using the electrochemical method in a galvanic bath. Metal parts of the body are anodes due to the supply of a negative charge to them from a direct or alternating current source. The primer solution has a positive charge. Phosphate cations are deposited on the metal, forming an ionic compound. The process takes up to 20 minutes, forming a film up to 20 microns thick. At the next stage, the primed products are washed and dried and sent for painting.
Three-volume body
Lovers of sedans, of which we have a surprising number, explain their choice by the fact that in a car with a trunk separated from the passenger compartment, it is quieter, warmer and there are no foreign odors coming from the trunk. Each of these statements can be argued. But we can agree. The trunk volume of this sedan is the same as that of the station wagon (under the shelf) - 480 liters, and the rear seat back also folds in parts.
The volume of the luggage compartment is 480 liters. One “but”: when loading under the lid, you will have to take into account the hinges protruding into the trunk and place things so as not to crush them.
The volume of the luggage compartment is 480 liters. One “but”: when loading under the lid, you will have to take into account the hinges protruding into the trunk and place things so as not to crush them.
The sedan is also lighter than the station wagon (by 50 kg). And the body is stiffer. This entails better handling. Most likely, the interior will begin to creak later than in the station wagon. However, particularly large items (for example, a packaged washing machine or a kitchen stove) cannot be transported in a sedan. But in a station wagon you can at least try. But this is so, a remark.
