AVTOVAZ hasn't yet released the Iskra, but it's already working on reducing the cost
AVTOVAZ has high hopes for the model. If only a few will be able to become owners of the Aura, then the Iskra is designed for a wide audience. There are still six months left before the start of sales, and the model is already starting to be gradually made cheaper.
The changes affected the equipment of the sedan. During the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, another sample of "Iskra" was presented. And it differs from what was shown to the public earlier.
In particular, the washer nozzles are installed directly on the hood. Previously, the elements were located under it in a special cowl. As you might guess, the second approach is more expensive in terms of cost price, and the first is cheaper.
Unfortunately, there was no detailed review of the modified Iskra, but it is known that the differences do not end there. It is expected that the interior equipment will also undergo some metamorphoses. car continue to test and change its layout based on the availability of certain design elements.
At the moment, about 15 Lada Iskras have rolled off the assembly line. Inside the car, there is a strong feeling that these are still test samples.
The black cheap plastic and the lack of some details clearly hint at this. However, this is only a technological process; cars in this form will not go on sale, of course.
Another fact is more disconcerting. According to available information, the applied simplifications of equipment and trim are unlikely to have a positive effect on the final price of the sedan. It will most likely remain the same.
Serial production of the car is scheduled for January, and the start of sales is expected in March 2025. The exact cost of the model has not yet been announced, experts "predict" a starting price of 1,5 million rubles.
