We are waiting in the showrooms – AVTOVAZ has returned to producing two versions of the popular model
The largest domestic auto brand has suspended production of new cars in December last year. Now AVTOVAZ has officially returned to assembling the Lada Vesta SW station wagon.
At the moment, two trim levels have been launched – Comfort'24 and Life'24. These versions are equipped with a 1,6-liter petrol engine.
The power of the unit is 106 hp with a peak torque of 148 Nm. The power plant works in tandem with a continuously variable transmission.

Both trim levels come with electric windows front and rear, as well as climate control. The cars roll on 15-inch steel wheels with decorative plastic caps. Roof rails and a spoiler are standard on both versions.
The key differences between the Life'24 package and the more affordable Comfort package include the following options:
✅ multifunctional steering wheel
✅ infotainment system with 7-inch display
✅ cruise control
✅ heated front seats
✅ 12-volt power outlet for second-row passengers
✅ central armrest with box
The cost of the above configurations is 1,7 and 1,8 million rubles for Comfort'24 and Life'24, respectively. Unfortunately, the return date of the SW Cross station wagon with improved cross-country ability has not yet been announced.
The company's president commented on the reasons for suspending production of the SW model:
It is noteworthy that the popularity of station wagons on the Russian market has grown significantly in recent years. According to the Russian statistical agency, cars of this class returned to the top 10 in mid-2024.

Among the new models in the segment, the most frequently purchased were the Lada Vesta SW and its modification with the Cross prefix. Despite the return of two popular "SV" trim levels, the remaining eight variations have yet to return to dealer price lists.
In parallel with this, AVTOVAZ plans to expand its model range. New versions of Vesta are expected to be released at the end of this month.
These cars will be equipped with an improved 1,8-liter engine of the Evo family. The power of the power plant is 122 hp. The transmission is a six-speed manual gearbox of Chinese manufacture.

The company's president commented on the reasons for suspending production of the SW model:
The slowdown in some areas of activity is due to the fulfillment of production plans for 2024 for other products and upcoming new products. In addition, the increase in the Central Bank's key rate for the automobile market had an indirect impact. Another factor in the decline in the production volumes of some cars was the glut of Chinese-made products. According to our forecasts, imported lots will not be sold out before the middle of this year.
