LADA Vesta NG is really a new generation - AvtoVAZ is sure of it

Representatives of the AvtoVAZ management told why the Lada Vesta NG should be considered a completely new model, and not some kind of restyling. According to one of the top managers, this is evidenced by numerous changes in the design of the body and interior and technical features.


Interestingly, after the update, the popular Russian car seems to have upgraded its class from “B” to “C”. Say, the car was already larger in size, and now the interior has risen a step higher in terms of equipment.

There is a feeling that AvtoVAZ representatives do not quite understand what a full-fledged “C” class model should be. For example, now under the hood of cars that have already begun to be mass-produced in Togliatti, the simplest atmospheric engines VAZ-11182 with a capacity of 90 hp. With. These are eight-valve valves, which even the basic modifications of Renault Logan and other budget cars do not have.


Of course, the manufacturer has planned changes and additions to the engine range. But they are also far from the modern C-class. Toward the end of spring, they promise the return of the VAZ-21127 power unit. This is a sixteen-valve 106-horsepower engine. In the future, Lada Vesta will also receive a 1,8-liter engine.

All of the above suggests that the car has changed only externally and in the cabin. On the technical side, he rather degraded. Accordingly, it would be somewhat reckless to call LADA Vesta NG a new generation. This is a typical restyling.
