The new AvtoVAZ models of 2017-2018 will be presented in our material as already successful, because we are not going to waste your time reading information about less successful products. Well, let's not slow down, and therefore we smoothly press on the gas!
Let's stop to refuel important information. Here we intend to immediately note that in 2016, the Swedish top manager Bo Inge Andersson left the post of president of the enterprise, who decided to focus on own projects. Recall that he ruled for three years. He was replaced by a Frenchman, whose name is Nicolas Maure. It is this person who will have to convince Russian drivers and fans of AvtoVAZ products that, by giving away their hard-earned money, they become owners of a high-quality thing that will bring many benefits to its owner in the future.
The reputation of Nicolas Maur is ambiguous, because before he worked in Romania, specifically in Dacia, where he mainly fired and lowered the salaries of his employees. But that is all left behind - in the past. In Russia, the French specialist intends to make cars manufactured by AvtoVAZ one of the leaders by launching new models, significantly reducing the cost production process and faithfully following current trends in the automotive community.
In general, according to the existing plan, the release of new AvtoVAZ products is planned until 2025 inclusive. We will focus exclusively on the period 2017-2018. We continue our movement to the end point of the given route!
Lada Granta / Lada Granta
So, first of all, in 2017, the new AvtoVAZ management intends to update its budget car Lada Grant. Once it was Granta that became a full-fledged replacement for the Samara model. It is only planned to release a restyled version, and engineers, doing their direct duties, will have to improve specifications, leaving the former exterior and interior, transforming their recognizable appearance only in part.
The appearance of the Granta model in Russia is expected in mid-2017. The cost of the car will remain the same as it was before.
Lada Kalina / Lada Kalina
With the new Lada Kalina, things are the same as with the new Grant. Being engaged in the improvement of this car model under the leadership of Nicolas More, the engineers intend to make it a little more powerful. They can also increase the size of the vehicle, but not by much. All this is done to improve performance. Appearance cars due to this will become a little more aggressive, which is also important.
The release of the restyled version of Lada Kalina is scheduled for mid-2017. Like the updated Granta, new Kalina will be sold at the original price. 
Lada Largus / Lada Largus
Another "state employee" of AvtoVAZ, which fits into the novelties of 2017-2018, is LADA Largus- will survive the restyling. Working on a new version of the car, the engineers took into account the wishes of the higher management regarding the change in its appearance, which they now have to make more sporty. At the same time, the vehicle will remain one that is designed for the whole family. One of the innovations is a redesigned wheelbase.
The appearance of the updated Largus model is scheduled for the period 2017-2018. As for the price, it probably won't change. 
Lada Vesta / Lada Vesta
New AvtoVAZ models in the period 2017-2018 also imply the release of a modified Vesta line. It's no secret that in the near future this particular model will become a full-fledged replacement for Priora on the market. A full-fledged change in the development course of Vesta is planned in the direction of expanded functionality and increased capacities.
There is information that part of the plan to update this particular model will be completed in the first half of 2017, while everything else - in the second half of the same year and throughout 2018. The price of the final product should remain the same.
Lada 4x4 / Lada 4x4
New Niva, and the emphasis is on the first word. From the second for this model vehicle produced at the Volga Automobile Plant, there are traditions that are still remembered by car fans. The novelties of AvtoVAZ in 2018, it seems, will put 4 × 4 at the top of the list. The car will have three doors, as well as a remarkable design. Naturally, they did not bypass the technical characteristics, which went through more than one stage of modernization to determine the most correct option.
The release of the new Niva on Russian market planned for 2018. Already now there is information from analysts that its price will be about 700-800 thousand rubles.
Lada C-Cross / Lada C-Cross
The updated version of the crossover will be part of the planned plan to replace the current Niva. Yes, another version of Niva, as you can see. It is similar to the XRAY model only in some parameters. Among the achievements of the novelty, it is worth highlighting a multifunctional control system and an elegant appearance. The appearance and interior of the car turned out to be chic.
It is expected that the updated C-Cross model will go on sale in early 2018. The price of new items has not yet been announced, but it is unlikely to increase.
Lada C Sedan / Lada C Sedan
In principle, if you believe the rumors, this is a C-class car, designed in a sedan. In principle, it will have many advantages over its competitors. Basically, it will have Hi-tech. They say that the appearance of the car will not be deprived.
Presumably, the release of the C-class sedan from AvtoVAZ will take place in the second half of 2018. Its cost will be in the region from 500 thousand to 1 million rubles.
New models of AvtoVAZ 2017-2018
Basically, that's all. As you can see, for the time being, Nicolas More is in no hurry to introduce his own rules into the already established system of functioning of the well-established auto production system at the AvtoVAZ plant. There is also information about the imminent release of some LADA B-class, but these rumors are unconfirmed. It remains to wait a little bit to find out what is truly new - UNEXPECTED - a French specialist can bring to the AvtoVAZ lineup.
Enthusiasm about the fact that the domestic engineering industry in the face of the legendary Russian concern Auto VAZ will provide an opportunity for every citizen to have a high-quality modern car. Our contemporaries today get what more than one generation of motorists expected. Judging by the photos available on the network, consumers are offered a fairly large range of domestic cars - modern, reliable, functional and, most expected, inexpensive.
The management of AvtoVAZ announced new developments, which confirm that today qualitatively different models are coming off the assembly lines, quite seriously competing with imported ones. cars various categories. Particularly successful was the cooperation of the Volga Automobile Plant with the Renault-Nissan consortium, thanks to which such a significant product range, which is presented to us in the season 2017 - 2018. There are a lot of new products beyond expectations, all their features can be clarified on the video. A few words should be said about each of the seven new products, their exterior, interior and technical features.
New Lada Priora
Despite the fact that in the near future the management of the concern planned to reduce the production of this model, every season it undergoes all sorts of improvements and improvements. Sufficiently reliable, adapted to the peculiarities of the domestic climate and roads, Lada Priora has always represented budget categories cars. In the current season, the buyer received a comprehensive quality restyling where the engineers made the most of the car's potential features.
Outwardly, it differs from what was previously presented to the consumer for several years. Exterior updates have touched on the grille, the geometry of the body outlines, the shape and design of the bumper, which has become much more attractive, modern and aggressive. The car is equipped with a system of innovative chrome fog lights. The rear light is also decorated with LED elements. The salon has not undergone major changes. The maximum that the design team managed to achieve is maximum equipment interior and features of the Priora front panel, which look quite aesthetically pleasing. Power system It is represented by two engines of 1.6 and 1.8 liters, with a capacity of 106 liters, respectively. With. and 123 l. With. In the Russian market, the model is extremely in demand due to the good suspension configuration and its height.
Lada XRAY Cross
This model can rightly be called one of the most popular in the segment. modern cars off-road. Crossovers of the Cross series as the only worthy domestic version. The exterior of the car provides significant improvements compared to basic option. The novelty is installed on the platform Renault Duster, which made it possible not only to increase the dimensions, but to make significant changes in the exterior, which is very important in Russia due to the peculiarities of the climate and topography.
Changed the shape of the headlights rear light, they harmoniously fit into the format of interesting modern body architecture. front light received additions as head LED headlights, which significantly increased the safety performance of the driver and passengers. The salon is equipped with comfortable anatomical chairs, the design is modern decorative elements in body color tone. Control options are displayed on the surface of the steering wheel, as well as on the multimedia system monitor. Power units represented by engines with a volume of 1.6 liters, 114 liters. With. and 1.8 l, 123 l. With.
Lada 4X4
SUVs are the best to meet the needs domestic consumer and objective features of the market. It was in accordance with this that in the 2017-2018 season, AvtoVAZ, forty years later, presented a worthy successor to the first " Soviet jeep»sample 1977 - the legendary Niva. The latest news will greatly please our countrymen. The novelty called Lada 4X4 confidently became Renault platform Duster.
Appearance new Lada is distinguished by its inherent conciseness, modesty and a certain simplicity. The car acquired five doors, which in the new concept should look organically in conjunction with the new base. Nevertheless, the main trend of the famous brand's exterior is preserved in the look. Despite the fact that the interior design features remain a surprise for buyers and car dealers, all the best practices of the design team are implemented in this model. Under the hood, two engine options - 1.7 liters with a capacity of 105 liters. With. and volume 1.8 l. The cost starts from 700 thousand rubles.
The Russian auto industry is confidently increasing quality and reliability. In addition, numerous novelties of VAZ-made cars are represented by several more models that require special attention.
As Steve Mattin stated, chief designer AvtoVAZ, by 2026 year Lada plans to reschedule new design for all new car models.
The direct speech of Lada's director of design was given by the news agency RNS:
“We have a medium-term development plan until 2026, under which we plan to release 12 new models and 11 facelifts and, probably, by the time it is completed, the entire X-Face style lineup will be completely updated. Maybe even earlier."
Steve also assured that any new model formally released by a domestic car factory (remember, since the fall of 2017, the holding company that owns a controlling stake in AvtoVAZ, Alliance Rostec Auto B.V. is 82.5% controlled by the French by Renault), will be produced according to the brand's new X-Face style. Moreover, official confirmation was given that restyled and updated models will also be redesigned to suit the new style.
So what are these 12 new models in the Volga Automobile Plant family that will appear over the next 8 years? Let's talk about updates automotive line or at least try to guess what new products to expect from the plant on the Volga.
Unfortunately, there is still very little information on all the new products that will definitely be released by 2026. Or rather, such data simply do not exist. Therefore, we will operate with what we have at our disposal.
Second generation Lada Niva
The utilitarian SUV should be replaced by a refined crossover based on a foreign platform and a transverse engine. The basis will be taken (according to rumors) from the mass budget segment of the Global Access platform developed by the company.
The chassis has already begun to be finalized in order to increase cross-country ability and off-road capabilities. "Niva" should remain just such a car - not afraid of dirt. But at the same time, the SUV model will be more comfortable and prettier.
According to the latest media reports, new Niva should not be similar to Duster. Most likely, the proprietary X-shaped style will be applied, which will turn the utilitarian crossover of the 70s into a modern SUV.
Restyled Lada Granta
Model release date: late 2018 - early 2019
Presumably, the "facelift" will make Grant look like. A similar design of headlights, a stylistically fitted false radiator grille, a trunk with a new stamping for a license plate will change.
Changes in the cabin though will be, but very moderate. On this moment expected change dashboard.
P.S. They gossip on the Internet that simultaneously with the start of the release of the restyled version Lada Granta production of Kalina will be discontinued.
Lada Vesta Cross
Model release date: 2018
Very soon, buyers will be able to appreciate the increased ground clearance of the sedan model. You can’t exactly call it a new model, but the company cannot definitely refuse to update the approach in promoting models.
WITH technical side everything will remain the same. The same engines (1.6- and 1.8-liter variations for 106 and 122 hp), the same gearboxes.
Externally, the Cross model will have an increased ground clearance, 17-inch wheels and a plastic body kit.
New Lada Granta
Model release date: 2021-2023
AvtoVAZ is working on the next version of Lada Granta. The novelty will receive new platform Renault Global Access (B0). The model will get new look in "X"-style ... That's all that is known about the new product. Technical data - pitch darkness, even sketches on the Web have not yet been posted.
Lada C Crossover
Model release date: unknown
Will there be a crossover for the C-class city or not? A lot was written about him a few years ago, but now little is heard about the project. It is logical to assume that this will be another trump card of the resurgent plant. People need different SUVs - inexpensive, beautiful, comfortable.
Sports Lada Vesta
Model release date: 2018
"Charged" and dangerous. Externally, the AvtoVAZ model will change in a "sporty" direction. New bumpers, a spoiler integrated into the trunk lid, a new antenna and side mirrors.
But the main thing is that for the first time in many decades, a model will leave the factory with an engine power of more than 140 hp. With.! In the future, the 1.8-liter engine can be "overclocked" to 189 horses.
New Chevrolet Niva model
Model release date: unknown
ChevyNiva second generation. Not quite, of course, VAZ, but not completely Chevrolet either. We wait!
Crossover Lada X Code
Model release date: 2019
The concept of this full-fledged crossover appeared at the Moscow Motor Show in the summer of 2016. The new style of the concept has become the predecessor of the model, but this is a completely different crossover model, which may appear next year.
The compact crossover will receive VAZ 1.6- and 1.8-liter engines, the suspension may be transferred from Vesta. You can see for yourself which style is your own.
AVTOVAZ issues new items annually: in 2015 - Vesta, in 2016 - XRAY, in 2017 - station wagons Vesta SW and SW Cross. Togliatti residents do not particularly talk about plans for this year, but we know that the series will go (its prototype was presented at the MIAS-2016 exhibition) and the restyled Grant, which will appear in the summer.
Coming out in the spring Vesta Sport with a 149‑horsepower engine, 17‑inch wheels and other interior trim. But you should not hope for a restyling of Largus and the appearance of Xray Cross - AVTOVAZ will not pull so many new products. Moreover, this year we are to launch a telematics platform and mobile app.
UAZ in the past year, he updated the Patriot salon and introduced the Profi lorry. In 2018, the truck will acquire new modifications. And the Patriot, along with a related Pickup, should get a ZMZ-Pro engine with a power of 150 hp. instead of the current 135‑strong.
People's Will
The previous two years in budget segment it was hot. In 2016, crossovers shot like a doublet Renault Captur And Hyundai Creta, a year later they changed the generation of twins Kia Rio And Hyundai Solaris. But the continuation of the banquet is not expected. New ones and a crossover have already been presented to the world, but they will not be in time for us in 2018. The reason is simple: only localized cars will be sold in Russia, and putting them on the conveyor takes time. And why rush, if old cars sell well and confidently enter the market top?
However, in August at the Moscow international motor show Renault will present a fundamentally new crossover for Russia on the chassis of the Duster, which will be larger in size than the Capture. In addition, last year, patent drawings walked around the Web. updated family Logan/Sandero for our market. We believe they will be at dealers no later than the second quarter.
Datsun promised to supplement the Russian gamut with a crossover. Its launch was slowed down during the crisis, but after a fairly successful 2017, it was time for a change. official information no, but we expect the Datsun crossover to arrive in the last quarter of the year.

more expensive
Firm Chery focused exclusively on crossovers. We are waiting for two new items. In the third quarter, dealers will receive Tiggo 4 (in China, the car is known as Chery Tiggo 5x), and in the fourth quarter, the larger Tiggo 7. Last year the company ended with a rise in sales, and the new couple should build on the success. In Russia, among Chinese brands ahead only Lifan.
Besides, PSA concern will be engaged in the rehabilitation of the acquired brand Opel, which with freshness model range everything is in order: Astra and Insignia are young, two crossovers Crossland X and Grandland X have appeared. The plans for 2018 include a restyled Corsa born in 2014. In Russia Opel cars won't be back this year.
Ford will start the year with the introduction of the "fourth" Focus. By the summer, the commercial Custom family will also reach us. For now, you can forget about the promised supplies of the Mustang, as well as about the new generation Fiesta.
Firm Geely more than doubled in sales in 2017. The Russian statistics will be corrected by a strike group of three models - this is a completely new one, as well as refreshed Emgrand 7 and Emgrand X7 models.
Concern Hyundai-Kia generous with premieres. We will have restyled Hyundai crossovers Tucson and Kia Sorento Prime brand new Hyundai Santa Fe and H-1. On a global scale, an updated asymmetric Hyundai Veloster and Kia cee'd of the next generation are expected, which, most likely, will arrive in Russia before the end of the year.
Russian car sales Mazda should be lifted by the “six”, which survived the second update in five years in November 2017, and a completely new “three”, the premiere of which is expected in March at the Geneva Motor Show.
Demand Mitsubishi grew by a third in 2017. The return of the expensive and old ASX crossover to our market is unlikely to make a serious contribution to the sales treasury, but it will be interesting Russian buyers.
Nissan Juke also returned to our market last year, and now we are waiting for its update. Restyled Qashqai and X‑Trail should get to Russia. Both are in the top 25 of the market, but Kia Sportage And Volkswagen Tiguan went away from them. The update will help keep the position. It will also debut in Beijing frame SUV Terra, built on the basis of the Navara pickup truck.
Skoda stubbornly silent about the date of output to our market. Most likely, at first we will be supplied with Czech-assembled cars - as was the case with Kodiak. And Kodiaq will be assembled in Kaluga. In addition, Fabia's facelift is being prepared and, perhaps, the light will see subcompact crossover Polar - but both of these new items are not about us.
ssangyong, which allegedly returned to our market a year ago, sold a little more than a hundred cars for the entire 2017. Therefore, if they start importing into Russia, it will be rare bird. Also expected world premiere pickup truck at its base.
Subaru returns the Legacy sedan to us.
In the camp Suzuki one novelty: the baby SUV. In our market, you can not wait for it - at least this year.
Toyota going to launch in Russia in the spring Camry sedan new generation. The car is clearly fresher, more modern. Will the traditional the target audience? We wait cute crossover C‑HR, which has long been certified in Russia.
Volkswagen will please the Russians and, perhaps, with a stylish four-door. We hope that in 2018 two other interesting debutants will have time to reach us - Jetta sedan and crossover Touareg. Both have good positions in Russia. It is not excluded the appearance of a new member of the Polo family - a crossover.
top of the world
From premium and simple expensive cars we will focus only on the most interesting ones.
Crossovers are doomed to unit sales in Russia, and - but these cars will pleasantly dilute a rather monotonous market.
Genesis starts Russian sales, which should compete with the "treshka" BMW. By the end of the year, the world premiere of the fourth model of the young brand, a large crossover, should take place.
Infiniti summer is going to run absolutely new crossover QX50.
Jaguar is preparing a sensation: Russian buyers will be offered an electric crossover I‑Pace! In this segment, the British will be the first and collect all the cream. autumn Land Rover will show on Paris Motor Show Evoque of the second generation, which will be produced only in a five-door version.
Will not leave us without novelties and Jeep: The new Wrangler will also appear in showrooms, and the new Compass will be available for order from the end of 2017.
Lexus will bring the 2016 UX concept car to production, which will sit a step below the NX crossover.
Volvo will hit the second quarter of the year, presenting the S60 / V60 family on a global scale and - in Russia.
Finally, about the German "Big Three". Firm Audi started selling in Russia. We expect several high-profile world premieres: big crossover Q8, Q6 electric SUV, fresh A1 and A6. Questionable - already middle-aged Q3.
At bmw on the agenda is the second generation X4 crossover, the Z4 roadster, the long-awaited X7 giant crossover and the no less expected G8 coupe. It's time to change the third series, but officially the Bavarians are silent about it. Almost all BMW novelties appear on the Russian market immediately after the world premiere.
From Mercedes we are waiting for a fundamentally new A-class (hatchback and - for the first time! - sedan), a heavily updated, restyled C-class, a five-door AMG GT and a commercial Sprinter. CLS coupes are also on the way to Russia.
In the current turbulent times, plans are literally changing on the go. The transfer of some cars to the Russian market is possible, but in a small range. Surely it will not do without surprises - from the category of pleasant ones.
Now the expected novelties of AvtoVAZ 2018 are being vigorously discussed. Interest in them was also fueled by the company's president, Nicolas Maure, who, on the eve of the new year 2017, in his interview in Ust-Kamenogorsk, told the public about the prospects of the Lada lineup.
Priority tasks have been set for all AvtoVAZ enterprises:
- transfer the entire line of manufactured cars to the new X-design;
- release eight new Lada models over the next 10 years;
- create a positive attitude of the population towards domestic cars by a marked improvement in their quality.
Previously, the Russian auto industry did not indulge us with new products. They were rare, and even more often in the form of modernization. Now quantity domestic models decreased, but they are actively developing. Automakers have recently announced new products with enviable constancy. It is interesting to look at the new AvtoVAZ 2017/2018 models (photos of the models are located under their description).
This SUV will be the first model to be launched in late 2017 and enter full production in 2018. It is created on the basis of ordinary Vesta. According to AvtoVAZ President N. Mora, it will cost about 800 thousand rubles, but apparently, it will please its future owners not only with increased ground clearance, but also with rich, well-thought-out basic equipment.
First, this elongated sedan was presented as a VIP car. It was made in one copy, in the form of an experiment. Then the next one appeared, a little upgraded version, and from the beginning of 2018, according to pre-orders, sales of this modification may already begin.
At the 2016 motor show in Moscow, AvtoVAZ presented this all-terrain sedan, designed on the basis of a station wagon. However, there is still no information about the launch time of the car on the conveyor. It is possible that such a car will not appear at all, although there should not be any special problems with the start of production.
But this car will appear for sure. Another domestic novelty of 2017-2018 is actually ready. It is equipped with a 1.8-liter 150-horsepower engine, has an original steering wheel. Rear mounted disc brakes instead of drums, in front - with a diameter of 286 mm versus 260 mm. 18th inch wheels on Continental tires will be delivered in basic configuration. Surprising price tag - almost a million.
The creators of this off-road vehicle have not yet decided whether the car will be all-wheel drive. Without this, the car will be an ordinary hatchback with a plastic body kit and slightly increased ground clearance. The start of sales is promised at the beginning of 2018. Most likely, consumers will be offered both options: front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.
Perhaps this car will appear a little earlier. It does not require a 4 x 4 drive, and everything that is needed to modify the "sport" hatchback has already been tested on the Vesta Sport sedan. Although AvtoVAZ did not announce the release date of the model, we will expect this promising domestic novelty to appear no later than 2018.
In the fall of 2018, it is planned to start production of the second generation of the SUV. It has not yet been shown even in the form of a prototype. It is assumed that the car will be larger than the parent; it will remain in both the three- and five-door versions of the body. Under the hood will be a 1.8 liter engine for 122 horsepower. The transmission will be seriously upgraded.
Lada 4x4 II amateur render
Lada 4×4 dual-fuel SUV model
The trunk will accommodate a 90-liter cylinder for refueling with methane. This volume of gas should be enough for about 1000 kilometers. Engine power will be 83 hp. when working on gasoline, and a little less - 75 liters. With. - using gas fuel. Accordingly, it will decrease maximum speed: 123 km/h. instead of 137 km/h.
In 2016, AvtoVAZ presented a stylish conceptual subcompact SUV, made in the corporate X-shaped style. There is still no reliable data on the release time for the assembly line of this model, but there are prerequisites for the fact that it will be the end of 2018, although it is unlikely to appear in car dealerships until 2019.
One of the popular Russians (and not only!) VAZ models. IN updated version modified racks and body kits will appear, the radius of the wheels will increase (16 inches) and the clearance will rise (175 mm). The car will be equipped with an improved engine and GLONASS system.
The management of AvtoVAZ, in addition to the listed models of the Lada brand, voiced a desire to bring another new budget car to the Russian market at a price lower than the cheapest of their existing AvtoVAZ cars. What kind of car it will be, and when domestic motorists will see it, is not yet known.
Ulyanovsk novelties
Despite the fact that in the light of the new transformations at AvtoVAZ, the attention of most motorists is riveted to it, domestic auto industry only this company is not limited. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, and it does not stop there. In 2017, they are brought to the market here new model SUV UAZ 3170.
The famous “hunter” will appear in a new guise - the UAZ Hunter SUV. It will be distinguished by increased safety and greater than before, comfort in management. Changes are expected in the design of the dashboard, the gearbox will become smoother.
UAZ Cargo will not be left without updates. The carrying capacity of the latter will increase from 800 kg to 1500 kg, that is, almost twice. This is sure to please those who use the pickup for commercial purposes.
The novelties of the Russian automotive industry in 2017/2018 are not limited to this. Recently, GAZ announced work on a new generation of minibuses "Gazelle - Next", and its division Likinsky bus factory preparing for release tourist buses for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
