It is not entirely clear why this was done - to reduce the cost or because the manufacturer could not find the materials necessary for applying a decorative coating.
AvtoVAZ continues to work on import substitution. To establish an uninterrupted production of the most popular models, you have to give up a number of options. The struggle goes on with varying success, although the general tendency to overcome obstacles can be traced.

Now LADA Granta Classic 2022 is being produced without interruption, the options lost in the spring are even slowly being returned to the car. And then suddenly such an "ambush" - once chrome lining, radiator grille and nameplates are now some kind of gray, nondescript shade.
Is it possible that this is such a tuning from the manufacturer? Indeed, in Russia there are enough factories capable of chrome-plating parts. Or is AvtoVAZ still struggling to reduce the cost of its models? While the manufacturer does not give any official comments on this matter.
Recall that the simplified LADA Granta has been on sale since June 16 this year. They ask for versions of Classic 2022 from 678,3 thousand rubles. You can buy a state employee on credit, trade-in your old car, and even get additional discounts.
