First appearance off-road station wagon as a concept, it took place back in 2015 at the Off-road Show in Moscow, where it attracted the attention and admiring glances of many visitors. After this event, photos of the SW Cross Concept that appeared on the Internet caused heated discussion on various forums. Many fans of VAZ cars did not believe that serial Lada Vesta SV Cross will look similar.

But at the beginning of 2017, camouflaged samples of the Lada Vesta SW Cross began to be noticed on the roads of Samara and Togliatti during tests. It became clear that the expectations of many motorists would be met, and updated modification an already beloved car will see the light of day.

The appearance is very similar to the sedan, but has its own differences due to the off-road design. The bumpers are now decorated with plastic silver trims that look like metal. On the sides there is also a protective body kit from unwanted chips and scratches. The roof of the car has a significant slope towards the rear, which gives the car sporty look. Among the new elements in the model's arsenal are an antenna in the form of a shark fin and a stylish spoiler located on the rear roof.

The conceptual version of the new model (Lada Vesta Cross) was presented by AvtoVAZ at the auto exhibition in Moscow at the end of August this year. The official event was attended by the head domestic brand— Boo Andersson and also chief designer company - Steve Mattin, who created appearance new
As part of his communication with the press, Mr. Andersson noted that the concept car of the new model was created in the shortest possible time. AvtoVAZ invested about 1 million euros in the development of this car.
Photo Lada Vesta Cross(Lada Vesta Cross) from the auto exhibition in Moscow 2015 - Moscow Off-road Show.
The new Lada Vesta Cross is an example of the development of the Vesta project and the new X-shaped style Russian brand, which will also be evident in the design of the new hatchback - Lada XRay(Lada X Ray).
As for the “off-road” version of “Vesta”, it will differ from standard version this model has increased ground clearance, as well as the appearance of black linings in the front of the car, which visually increase the dimensions of the car.
According to the head of the XRay project Oleg Grunenkov, both new AvtoVAZ models - both Lada XRay and Lada Vesta, were created for the Russian car market, taking into account its characteristic features, and climatic conditions our country.
Release date for the new Lada Vesta Cross (Lada Vesta Cross)
Presumably, assembly of the new product will start in September 2016. The car should go on sale by November.
In addition, it became known that engineers of the domestic car brand are actively working on the creation of this station wagon model. Currently, this project is at the stage of approval of the design of the new car.
Lada Vesta Cross price
AvtoVAZ has not yet decided what the price of the Lada Vesta Cross will be. However, we can already assume that the cost of the car is unlikely to be quite affordable. Of course, by next year a lot may change, both in the country’s economy and in terms of the ruble exchange rate to foreign currencies. However, if we consider the current price tag of the Lada Largus station wagon, it amounts to 496 thousand rubles for basic equipment. A cross-version of the same model is currently offered to customers at a price of 614 thousand rubles, taking into account a discount of 30 thousand rubles through the Lada Finance program. Thus, the difference in the cost of the two versions of this station wagon is more than 100 thousand rubles. Most likely, the situation with the Lada Vesta Cross will be similar.
Let us remind you that the announced price of the standard version of Vesta is 550 thousand rubles. Thus, the Lada Vesta Cross is unlikely to be sold in our country for less than 650-670 thousand rubles. At the same time, there is a possibility that the cost of such a version of the new AvtoVAZ model could reach 700 thousand rubles or more if it is equipped with an all-wheel drive system.
Video Lada Vesta Cross
The AvtoVAZ company has already managed to film a video presentation of its new crossover - Lada Vesta Cross, in which you can examine in detail the design of the car, as well as the interior and voluminous trunk new items Watch the video.
Technical characteristics of the new Lada Vesta Cross
Now let's talk about technical specifications new Lada Vesta Cross. Unfortunately, official information There is no information yet regarding the equipment of this model. However, it is clear that the new product will use an all-wheel drive system, which the standard Vesta does not have, even though such a modification will be quite expensive. The question is whether it is necessary four-wheel drive for Lada Vesta?
In addition, Oleg Grunenkov stated that AvtoVAZ is working on creating a new power unit working volume of 1.8 liters. On the basis of this engine will be created power point for the Cross version.
The Lada Vesta sedan has been quite warmly received by Russian car enthusiasts. VAZ wanted to wait for the reaction of the buyer of the Lada Vesta in a regular body before the sw cross went on sale. The reaction was positive, so the question of the model's appearance in alternative the body was not standing. There was only one question - when will this happen? On June 23, 2017, the premiere of the Lada Vesta SV and its “elevated” version “cross sw” took place, sales of which began 4 and a half months later - on October 25. The list of available engines for the new Lada Vesta includes 2 gasoline units 1.6 liter capacity 106 hp and 1.8 liters with 122 hp output, available both with a “robot” and with classic mechanics. New VAZ products were also well received by customers, because it turned out that since the time Soviet Union“a lot of water has already passed under the bridge”, our compatriots are finally beginning to appreciate all the delights of universal ones. A practical option for traveling along our “destinations” was the SV cross version, which combines a practical station wagon body with increased ground clearance. The assembly of new products is carried out in Izhevsk.
Number of cars produced
Since the official start of sales of the Lada Vesta station wagon, the plant has not had time to assemble the necessary configurations, and the stocks of ready-made Vestas in dealer warehouses very quickly ran out. Sometimes the queue of customers reached more than 3 months, and dealers, as always, tried to sell as much as possible to happy customers additional equipment, services (some, without a hint of embarrassment, refused to give the already pre-paid copy to the owner if he did not follow the seller’s lead.) Now the queue has decreased, sales of the Lada Vesta of all modifications are growing. Since the onset of 2018, 24,300 copies have been sold, more than half the result of the same period last year.
Start of production and start of sales
The Lada Vesta, whose sales as a sedan exceeded all expectations, has also found many buyers in its new version. They waited for its appearance on purpose, did not buy a sedan, and now their expectations were embodied in plastic, rubber, glass and metal. Vesta sw and its cross-country version began to be produced at the Izhevsk plant at the end of June 2017, and sales started 4 months later, when the date October 25 began to show off on the calendar. On the same day, the cross version also went on sale, as previously planned, judging by information from official sources. At first there weren't enough cars for everyone, official dealers new modifications were sorted out quickly. Most have not yet assembled cars was purchased on pre-orders. There were advertisements from resellers selling purchased new cars at a significant markup. After a couple of months, the excitement began to subside and station wagons began to appear for free sale in showrooms. For the first time, VAZ correctly calculated the marketing and released the right model at the right time? At least, previously VAZ could not even have dreamed of a significant demand for products (after the release of Vesta Cross). How long will this last? We’ll find out the answer in a short time, but for now all that remains is to observe the events taking place and rejoice in success domestic manufacturer. In addition, not so long ago (April 10, 2018) in Kazakhstan, the most massive foreign market AvtoVAZ, sales of new “universal” cars have started Lada models, their production was established at the Asia Auto plant in Ust-Kamenegorsk. Various configurations(similar to Russian ones, so we won’t focus on them) are already available for ordering and purchasing in 19 cities. Sales are carried out by branches of the company "Bipek - Auto".
Release date of the Lada Vesta station wagon
Surprisingly as it may be, station wagon cars are slowly beginning to displace their analogues in the body style from their homes in the Russian market. Official start of sales all-terrain station wagon Lada Vesta Cross, together with its lower “brother,” began much later than the initially promised (after the sedan’s premiere) dates. Plans for exit were not destined to come true. Some buyers waited patiently, while others bought cars. various brands and models. Despite all the problems that arose, the launch of a new body for production became another successful step of the Russian auto giant as part of the Renault-Nissan concern.
The main differences between the cross version and the station wagon
How strong are they, how did all this affect the rise in food prices? domestic automotive industry? Let's figure it out together
The all-terrain vesta has only 1 trim level called “Luxe”:
- increased by 2 and a half cm (203 vs 178 for a simple SV station wagon);
- slightly different interior design;
- a branded color exclusive to the cross version called “Mars” is available;
- 4 airbags (2 front and a similar number of side);
- installed on arches, sills plastic body kit anti-scratch;
- 17-inch;
- driver assistants - ABS systems, ESP with anti-slip function;
- steering column with steering wheel adjustment in 2 planes (up/down, forward/away);
- heated front seats;
- adjustment driver's seat by height;
- heated exterior mirrors with electric adjustment;
- heated windshield;
- climate control system and maintaining the designated speed;
- not a bad system with very decent sound;
- parking sensors;
- cooled glove compartment and other necessary things.
It is also possible to order additional option packages that add:
- heated rear passenger seats;
- rear sofa with armrest;
- interior lighting LEDs;
- radio with the ability to use a navigator; factory tinted rear windows;
- rear view camera.
The increase in price of the Vesta SW cross compared to the “landed” “car” can be simultaneously called significant and also small: maximum configuration cross-country Vesta with a 1.6 engine manual box transfers will amount to about 780 thousand Russian currency. For installation of a larger power unit you need to pay an additional 25 thousand rubles and 25,000 for robotic box developments of Volzhsky specialists automobile plant. Body painting is available in 9 color options, for metallic you need to pay an additional payment of 12 thousand. Do you want an exclusive color? Just pay 18 thousand extra and you are the owner of the color interesting name"Carthage" (beige metallic).
Where is this station wagon made?
The Lada Vesta SW and SW Cross are produced at the Izhevsk automobile plant. To start production of the new model, the factory workers had to make changes to the equipment and train staff to work with the “new” one. By the way, on April 25, 2018, Cross versions of the Vesta sedan rolled off the assembly line of this enterprise, differing primarily in ground clearance, the value of which is similar to the raised SW - 203 mm.
Statistics of cars sold
The new model called “Vesta” has appealed to many car enthusiasts, as evidenced by statistics. Growing sales compared to 2017 only give VAZ management confidence, which is why they are trying to enter the European market. Until the end of April, “Vestas” will be available in station wagon body and “Comfort” equipment options with 1.6 liter engines. environmental class Euro 6 and any type of gearbox should reach car dealerships with a starting price of no more than 12,000 Euro. AvtoVAZ hopes for sales growth in Europe, because last year, 909 sold cars found their owners there.
conclusions
AvtoVAZ with the release of “Vesta” simply hit the bull’s eye, competing with the Korean & budget European auto industry (we don’t remember about China, people cannot yet trust their hard-earned money to automakers from this region). It remains to wish good luck and an increase in the level of sales to our automaker. And we will continue to monitor the development of models Russian brand, albeit not without the help of foreign partners in the concern.
On September 25, 2016, IzhAvto will begin producing Vesta cars in the cross-country version. VAZ officially reports this. But not everyone knows when the Lada Vesta Cross will go on sale. After the start of production, you will have to wait two months, that is, the crossover will appear at dealers on November 25th. All the details about the new product are already known – let’s try to study them, and also figure out what exactly VAZ will offer in the first trim levels of the crossover.

The release date for the Lada Vesta Cross is November 25th. Exactly one year before this date, sales of the flagship sedan started. The prototype of the crossover, in turn, was presented in the summer of 2015. This prototype is called Vesta Cross Concept.
Concept Vesta car Cross
As you can see, the car itself is made as a station wagon. Ground clearance It is overpriced in comparison with the sedan, the remaining overall dimensions are the same.
Crossover Vesta Cross
The production version of the car differs from the concept. Exterior decoration has become simpler, but plastic elements remained in place.
Release equipment plastic parts was configured and tested in advance - in March 2016.
Number of cars produced
As soon as production starts, IzhAvto will be able to produce 1600-1700 cross-country Vestas per month. But in general, the starting point should be considered not the release date of the Lada Vesta Cross, but the capacity of the conveyor:
- The Izhevsk line can produce 6,800 passenger cars per month;
- As for sedans, VAZ announced the figure “5,000 cars per month.”
If the demand for sedans decreases, the number of crossovers produced may increase. Most likely, this is exactly how it will turn out.
No other models, except crossovers and sedans, will appear on IzhAvto production lines in 2016. All production capacity– at the service of car owners!
Body geometry
Ground clearance of the conceptVestaCross is 190 mm. The sedan was characterized by a value of 178 mm. Some sources call the number “200” - it is typical for serial crossovers. Don't believe it! When the Lada Vesta Cross goes on sale, it will become clear that “200” is a fake.
Sea trials
The station wagon body does not differ from sedans in almost all respects: length, width and height remain the same (4450/1764/1553 mm). Wheelbase also unchanged (2635 mm).
The trunk volume of the cross-station wagon is 494 liters. Folded rear seats they will add another 326 liters here.
When creating a new version of the body, it was possible to barely increase its weight: the entire car weighs 1195 kg, while the sedan “pulls” 1178 kg! However, the Vesta sedan is a fairly heavy car, and its body belongs to class C.
Options
Vesta Cross will go on sale in November-December 2016. By that time, a new engine will be installed under the hood of sedans - namely, the VAZ-21179. Its volume is 1.8 liters. But there are also rumors about trim levels!
Load curve, motors 21129 and 21179
You can compare two dates:
- September 25 – start of production of serial crossovers;
- October 15, 2016 is the day when a powerful engine will be installed in Vest cars.
It is not at all necessary that the VAZ-21179 engine will be available in the first mass-produced crossovers. If you need packages with it, wait until December-January.
The only transmission option for the “21179” engines will be the “VAZ branded robot”. Racing fans won't like this package.
Equipment
The panic button has appeared in Vest cars since April 2016. Here we are talking about a module that interacts with the ERA-Glonass system.
SOS button in the sedan interior
All options available to owners sedans, will be inherited into a crossover. But something new may also appear - climate control, for example.
VAZ has a project for a climate control system. But in serial cars in both 2015 and 2016, an air conditioner was installed instead. The difference is the ability to automatically maintain the temperature: the value is set by the regulator.
Climate control module
A few words about the suspension
The rear and front suspension of the Lada Vesta is very long-travel. The following figures apply to sedans with a “city” body position:
- Front strut travel – 82/88 mm (compression and rebound);
- Move rear suspension– 100/100 mm.
When the Lada Vesta Cross goes on sale, the reader will immediately be convinced that the compression stroke has been increased, and the rebound stroke, on the contrary, has decreased by 12 mm.
This was the case with Kalina Cross - the rebound stroke was then reduced by 15 mm. But making the racks “knock” is unrealistic! Still, the design has stabilizers.
Rear suspension copied from Renault Megane
All West bodies are equipped with a subframe. It is the basis of the front suspension. The crankcase protection is also attached to the subframe - it is provided even in sedans.
