The maximum speed of a Lada Vesta car depends on many parameters. Every car is unique. Even with the same engines, but in different bodies, acceleration to 100 km per hour will show different results. The dynamics and maximum speed are greatly influenced by the streamlined body of the car, the rated power of the engine with its weight, as well as the size of the wheels. The larger the wheel diameter, the more comfortable the car will be, but the speed will be lower. Rubber plays an important role. Read the article and learn how to properly accelerate in a Lada Vesta.
What still affects the speed parameter of Lada Vesta
As noted at the very beginning of this article, speed is influenced by a range of factors: gasoline, wheel diameter and open windows. The streamlining of the car is not in last place when it comes to acceleration.
The gearbox affects the boost parameter, but in no case will it increase engine power. If you do not switch the manual gearbox in time, the maximum torque of this gear will not be realized and acceleration will no longer be the same. Professional shifting of a manual transmission will make driving more dynamic. The automatic transmission guarantees normal urban performance.
AMT and manual transmission
AVTOVAZ indicates in the car’s passport different acceleration times to 100 km/h, and it depends on the vehicle’s configuration:
- sedan Lada Vesta 1.6 l (106 hp) with manual transmission - 11.2 s.
- sedan Lada Vesta 1.6 l (106 hp) with AMT - 14.1 s.
- sedan Lada Vesta 1.8 l (122 hp) with manual transmission - 10.2 s.
- sedan Lada Vesta 1.8 l (122 hp) with AMT - 12.1 s.
- station wagon Lada Vesta 1.6 l (106 hp) with manual transmission - 12.4 s.
- station wagon Lada Vesta 1.6 l (106 hp) with AMT - 14.4 s.
- station wagon Lada Vesta 1.8 l (122 hp) with manual transmission - 10.9 s.
- station wagon Lada Vesta 1.8 l (122 hp) with AMT - 12.9 s.
- Lada Vesta CNG (1.6 l, 96 hp) - 12.9 s.
It turns out that a manual transmission beats a “robot” by 2-3 seconds.
How is the acceleration time to 100 km/h determined at the factory? 2 people sit in the car (total weight about 120 kg). AI 95 gasoline in the tank is about 10 liters. Starting from a standstill is not done from idle. The driver performs gear changes with the skills of a professional. After 10 measurements, the average value is selected and rounded.
The auto magazine Autoreview decided to evaluate the dynamics of acceleration in practice. They tested three different cars and published the results. The time for the sedan and station wagon is the same.

Later the table was supplemented and published in the journal:
In the latest video, the Lada Vesta CNG accelerates to 100 km/h in 14.5 seconds.
Variable speed drive
Lada Vesta is equipped with a 1.6-liter Renault HR16 engine (113 hp) and a Jatco CVT:
- Acceleration of the Lada Vesta Cross sedan to 100 km/h was 12.7 seconds in one direction, 13.7 in the opposite direction (11.3 seconds according to the passport). Checked during this test drive (watch from 18:36).
- Acceleration of the Lada Vesta SW Cross to 100 km/h with one passenger and a full trunk takes 16 seconds, without a passenger - 13.4 seconds (according to the passport 12.2 seconds). Checked wheels.ru.
Vesta's competitors showed the following results (engine power is similar):
- Ford Fiesta - 11.1 s.
- Kia Rio - 10.4 s.
- Renault Logan - 12.6 s.
- Volkswagen Polo - 11.5 s.
- Lada Priora - 9.5..11.5 s.
- Lada Granta - 11.8 s.
Let us remind you that the accuracy of the readings is influenced by many factors (driver skills, weather conditions, type of road surface, instrument accuracy, etc.), so it will not be surprising if your measurements differ from those presented in the article.
How do you assess Vesta’s dynamics? Take part in surveys, help determine the average acceleration time to 100 km/h, as well as the fuel consumption of this car.

↑ How to independently measure the dynamics of a car
Measuring Vesta's acceleration time to hundreds is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. The manufacturer does this on special tracks using appropriate equipment. Doing this without special instruments, not to mention doing it yourself, is generally unrealistic. The driver needs to concentrate on the road and change gears in a timely manner.
Russian car enthusiasts, just like foreign ones, can quite accurately measure the acceleration of their car to 100 on a Lada Vesta up to a certain mark. To do this, you need to use a special program called “Auto Acceleration”. I would like to note that it was created by a Russian programmer.
The program is installed on the phone. Its main feature is that when it is used, information from the accelerometer, as well as the GPS receiver, is identified.
Dimensions
The size for the Lada Vesta was selected in a very non-standard way. The car simultaneously falls under B and C classes.
- it is 4.44 meters long;
- width – 1.76 meters;
- height – 1.49 meters.
Lada Vesta turned out to be larger than one of its direct competitors - Hyndai Solaris. Thus, she took the initiative into her own hands. Other characteristics include:
- wheelbase - 2570 centimeters;
- rear wheel track - 150 centimeters;
- front wheel track - 149 centimeters;
- ground clearance under mudguards - 14.4 centimeters;
- ground clearance under the engine is 17.6 centimeters.

Fuel consumption
Lada Vesta, equipped with the new VAZ engine 21129, during standard movement around the city consumes about ten liters per 100 kilometers. During mixed driving - 7-8 liters per hundred. And on the highway the car consumes about six liters per hundred kilometers.
The new Lada Vesta with a VAZ 21179 engine, which should go on sale in the fall of 2016, will consume about 10 liters of fuel in the urban cycle. The highway will take from 6 to 7 liters per hundred from this car, and the combined cycle will take 8 liters.
Lada Vesta with the new H4M-HR16DE engine from Nissan consumes 8 liters when driving around the city. It consumes on average 6 liters on the combined cycle and from 5 to 6 liters on the highway.
↑ How to test overclocking
When determining the acceleration time of any car, certain conditions must be met. Only if these conditions are met can the test result be considered reliable.
The optimal load on the suspension occurs when 2 people are seated in the Lada Vesta. The total weight of people in the cabin should not exceed 120 kg. There is no need to fill a full tank of fuel so as not to overload the car. Ten liters of fuel will be enough to make the required number of jerks and not stall on the road.
It is important to choose a flat section of the road that is free of potholes, holes or damage. When testing Vesta with a manual transmission, it is important that the driver has sufficient experience. Timely gear shifting plays an important role in obtaining the final result.
IMPORTANT! It is impossible to draw conclusions after one ride, so you need to drive at least 10 times. The arithmetic mean can be taken as the final result. It should be taken into account that when testing a car on track roads, a professional is behind the wheel, so you can take 0.5 seconds off the final result.
Vesta speed on HBO
As for the maximum speed of the Lada Vesta CNG, which is a new conceptual development of AvtoVAZ and beneficially complements the concern’s model range, the maximum speed indicators here are not entirely clear.
The Vesta version, equipped with professional gas equipment, will retain its main fuel tank, but will receive two built-in cylinders for storing high-pressure gas. The fact is that instead of the popular propane or butane, the designers converted Vesta to LPG to use natural gas (methane) - and it does not liquefy under normal operating conditions.
The safety of the new model has already been confirmed by successfully completed crash tests of concepts. The maximum speed on gasoline traction will be the same value as for Vesta models not equipped with LPG with the same power unit. As for the use of gas as a fuel, when burned it produces less energy and, accordingly, has a lower efficiency. There are no exact values for the maximum speed of the Lada Vesta on gas, but it is unlikely to go beyond the approximate range of 140-150 km/h.
In conclusion, it is worth saying that it will be possible to increase the maximum speed of the Lada Vesta by increasing the size of the wheels and slightly reducing the ground clearance. The first procedure will increase the distance traveled per revolution of the drive axle, the second will improve the aerodynamic properties of the car and increase grip due to the pressing action of the flowing air flow. Naturally, the price of the issue may cast doubt on the feasibility of this procedure - however, fans of fast driving will in any case appreciate this opportunity.
More details about Lada “Vesta” cars
We're not supposed to
Over the past seven years, more than 140 models have left our market. Station wagons are a prime example of the impoverishment of choice. For example, the current Logan has a nice MCV version, which is sold in Europe under the Dacia
. A budget station wagon, which is also offered in a cross-version. If it had entered our market, it would have been a direct competitor to Vesta SW.
With the change of generation Skoda Octavia
in Russia I lost my station wagon. Previous Octavia Combis were imported to us from the Czech Republic, which raised the price. Most likely, this was the main reason, because liftbacks assembled in Nizhny Novgorod are expensive. But why was all this not a hindrance before and the Octavia Combi was always popular?
Control
According to reviews from car owners, the Lada Vesta handles well; the steering wheel makes 2.8 turns per full rotation. The car has well-balanced feedback. There is no viscosity or heaviness in handling. AvtoVAZ made sure that the Lada Vesta clearly kept a “straight line” at maximum speed, without deviations.
The VAZ suspension has a high energy intensity. However, the ride quality of the new car is worse than that of its predecessors.
