How can the new Lada Vesta Hatchback surprise car enthusiasts?


Recently, AvtoVAZ has never ceased to amaze with new products in its lineup. But the promises that the Lada Vesta hatchback would join the group’s product list were not destined to come true.

In 2015, a sedan unlike any previous car of the Lada Vesta brand rolled off the assembly line; two years later, a station wagon was added to the lineup, but the promised Lada Vesta in a hatchback never saw the light of day. It was planned that the sedan would be joined by other familiar versions, but the station wagon, which appeared in 2022, put an end to the exit of the hatchback, since, according to the head of AvtoVAZ, the station wagon, which later acquired the Cross package, fully satisfied the demand of citizens. However, public interest in the appearance of the Lada Vesta on Russian roads in a new version still does not subside.

Lada Vesta 2022 (FL): photos, prices and latest news about restyling

The car is preparing for mass production of the updated Vesta 2022 model year: the car, produced since 2015, will undergo a major modernization and is expected to partially change the exterior and receive a completely new front console in the cabin.
As of March 2022, the car is at the final stage of testing, because back in January, 10 copies of the new product were prepared at the assembly plant, which have already managed to clock up several thousand km. mileage It is known that work at the test sites has been completed, and the cars themselves are already being actively tested at special stages.

On the page the latest news and all the details about the new body of the Lada Vesta 2022 model year:

  • Release date and start of mass production;
  • Photo;
  • Prices and configurations;
  • Specifications;
  • Video test drive.

Appearance Features

There are still rumors about how the car will look.
However, taking into account the concern’s policy, the Vesta hatchback will completely replicate the design of the sedan. The exception will be the rear. The Lada Vesta hatchback in the new body resembles a truncated station wagon in one photo, and a liftback in the other; this does not give a general understanding of the appearance of the future car. Nevertheless, according to some rumors, the new Lada Vesta hatchback, like a lower class Granta, will be produced in the liftback version. But as always, the last word remains with the concern’s designers.

Exterior

As for the rest of the body, the Lada Vesta hatchback is unlikely to surprise the buyer with anything. The usual stampings of the wings and doors will remain in place. The design of alloy wheels and hubcaps will not change.

Lada Vesta concept

The aggressive x-shaped radiator grille and head optics will retain their places. And also there should be no changes in the color scheme of the body, consisting of 9 different designs.

Salon

You shouldn't expect any changes in the interior either. The brand's leaders are unlikely to take risks, so the usual two-tone interior will retain a single style. As always, black soft plastic on the panels and dashboard will be complemented by silver trim on the door cards and seats. An exception may be the “Sport” version, where the interior is decorated with aggressive red elements and carbon fiber trim. It is assumed that the Lada Vesta hatchback will retain its comfortable interior for the rear row, where three passengers can fit.

What to compare with?

To understand whether AvtoVAZ products are worth the money, it is necessary to draw a number of parallels with other cars. But who will be a worthy competitor? Here it is important to take into account certain criteria for a particular vehicle. A number of knowledgeable people whose activities are related to writing comparative reviews on automotive topics make some serious mistakes in their works.

But in any case, in the question of whether it is worth buying a Lada-Vesta, the opinion of experts plays a big role. After all, who, if not specialists, knows the needs of a wide audience?!

When will the hatchback appear?

Unfortunately, in 2015 the Lada Vesta hatchback will not be available to buyers who were expecting this body type. Initially, the plant planned to produce a hatchback at the same time as a sedan, but the political situation in the country forced the concern to significantly reconsider its plans. The start of sales of the Lada Vesta hatchback was shifted first to mid-2016, and then to the first half of 2018. It is likely that Western sanctions (some components for the Lada Vesta were supplied from abroad) and some reduction in government investment in the development of AvtoVAZ affected such a sharp change in the automaker’s course.

However, despite the fact that the Lada Vesta hatchback is shifted in the production timeline after the release of the all-wheel drive station wagon, the designers and management of the concern confirm that work on this type of body is underway and will not be stopped. Moreover, its concept is already available at the plant, as are trial (pilot) models of the Lada Vesta hatchback.

Salon and options

When creating the salon, AvtoVAZ really tried. Each passenger will be as comfortable as possible due to the available space. How comfortable the interior is in this regard can be understood even from the photo.


Spacious rear lounge

All seats are ergonomic. They have a precise shape and consist of specially selected filler. The driver's seat is equipped with height and tilt adjustment, so everyone can choose the most comfortable position for themselves. A big plus for this adjustment option is the option to customize the steering column.

The panel is made of high quality plastic. It does not creak, does not emit unpleasant odors and does not create any other extraneous noise when driving. The instrument panel now has a stylish look, as it is complemented by orange lighting.


Organic and stylish dashboard

The seat upholstery material depends on the configuration. Regular fabric or eco-leather can be used.

Moving on to the options, you should start with the multimedia system equipped with a 7-inch screen. The latter will help create the mood, control the road using the navigator, and also monitor it through the camera lens.


Vesta is equipped with a multimedia system with a 7-inch screen

The main options include:

  • steering wheel switches;
  • climate control;
  • flight assistant;
  • multimedia system supporting USB, AUX and Bluetooth;
  • illumination of the front doors when opening;
  • a special compartment with a cooling system for storing small purchases.


The switches are located on the steering wheel.
It is impossible not to note the safety created by the engineers. For the price offered by dealers for the 2022 model year Lada Vesta sedan, the car has:

  • automatic locking when starting to move;
  • directional stability ESC;
  • L-shaped headrests;
  • ABS;
  • ISOFIX system for installing child seats;
  • airbags.

↑ Interior

There is no reliable data yet regarding how the interior of the Vesta hatchback will be equipped. The interior will largely replicate the interior space of other models in the line. In particular, all instruments and controls will be placed as conveniently as possible for the driver, forming a kind of cockpit.

One of the main elements of the interior will be the display of the multimedia and navigation system, as well as an elegant center console with an armrest. The hatchback will be characterized by the presence of many possibilities for transforming the interior, in particular, thanks to folding rear seats, increasing the free space for transporting large cargo.

Vesta in a hatchback body is quite a promising model for the domestic market, and if AvtoVAZ nevertheless decides to bring it to the assembly line, it will certainly win the hearts of a large number of car enthusiasts.

Vesta now

Why is the car in demand?

LADA Vesta today is one of the most popular products on the secondary market. It was checked 10,454 times via avtocod.ru last month. Two facts speak in its favor:

  • it does not stagnate (average sales time is 10 days, 5-8 days less than Rio and Logan);
  • it loses moderate value (

And this is obvious, because to the above qualities of Vesta is added its relative problem-free nature. Yes, in 2015 the car came out in a tangible hurry and, of course, a little damp. But the main shortcomings of the Lada Vesta were eliminated in the first year of life on the assembly line, and there were few of them.

The first thing that comes to mind are completely disposable stabilizer struts (links), which in the debut batches of cars were barely enough for a month or two of operation. AvtoVAZ even had to change the supplier, and on later models the suspension stopped knocking immediately after leaving the DC.

What to look for when buying

The new 1.8 engine (122 horsepower) for VAZ caused widespread criticism. Due to the unsuccessful design, there were (and are) problems with low fuel pressure, a bursting expansion tank, and a phase shifter. The manufacturer has recognized some problems and is solving them: they have modified the cylinder head, dealt with the increased pressure of crankcase gases, etc.

So after 2022 you can look at 1.8-liter engines without the same fear, but you need to

should I look at them? No. The difference in dynamics with the 1.6-liter is nominal, but it consumes more fuel, is more expensive to maintain and has reputational problems that will come back to haunt resale.

The AMT “robot” also has a bad reputation, but it’s difficult to find it on the secondary market, because no one needed it even when new. The main problem is increased and fairly rapid wear of the clutch and the 10 thousand rubles of the family budget associated with its replacement. If you start quietly and don’t fire the clutch, it will take longer – like with a conventional manual, 100 thousand+.

Otherwise, some problems with the Lada Vesta are episodic and individual in nature, mainly due to driving style. Even in taxi and other corporate fleets, they travel 200+ thousand kilometers under their own power and without capital investments. Isn’t it an indicator of the strength and endurance of a car?

With what problems is it sold?

The car is relatively new and is often sold as a deposit. After the purchase, at a minimum, spend a lot of time traveling to banks with the previous owner. As a maximum, you can take over someone else's debts if the seller hides the collateral. Therefore, before purchasing, test the car for cleanliness.

Here is a vivid example of a typical “Vesta” from the secondary market: fresh, the mileage is funny, the station wagon is tempting!

We look at the report from avtocod.ru, and everything is bad there, although predictable:

The car is actually in collateral.

Plus, no fines have been paid since June 2020.

There is no particular point in clinging to this option. There are half a million other Wests on the market, among which there is sure to be one good one.

↑ Exterior

It is extremely difficult to say what the new car will look like until the official presentation. If the model is finally brought to the production line, then there is a possibility that it will appear in a liftback body, which is especially popular among young people. In this way, manufacturers will be able to avoid internal competition with the station wagon, positioning the shortened five-door as a car for a youth audience.

They do not provide a specific representative regarding the exterior of the Lada Vesta hatchback and the photos presented on the Internet. Most of them speak in favor of the fact that the car will be in a liftback body. However, not a single photo has been officially released by the company, and no final conclusions should be drawn until the model goes on sale.

Attention! The interior contains many fake images that allegedly show the new hatchback. However, for the most part they have nothing to do with reality, but are conjectures of the authors of publications, so they should not be taken seriously.

If this model is released, it will definitely be designed in the same style as the rest of the Lada Vesta line, in particular, it will receive an X-shaped radiator grille and characteristic headlights.

What is better to redo right away?

“First of all,” Evgeniy shares his experience, “you need to replace the engine cushions and the nuts on the muffler corrugation. The corrugation will still burn out in a couple of months, but replacing it later will be very troublesome, because the nuts used are steel, not brass. They burn, and it is almost impossible to unscrew - the stud is 8, the nut is 10, and if you tear off the edge, then consider yourself an adventure. Therefore, we change the nuts to 13. By the way, the muffler itself looks quite rusty on everyone, but so far I have not heard of anyone having it burn through.

For inexpensive but useful modifications, I recommend purchasing an additional “stove” air intake mesh. There is none at the factory, and all the debris goes straight to the heater radiator - and this is fraught with the appearance of unpleasant odors in the cabin and strange noises when the fan grinds all the debris that gets inside.

Another recommendation is to reflash the coolant temperature sensor. Here it is stepped, works with a large delay, and it is quite possible to “boil.” Therefore, you need to reflash to linear.

Well, then - as desired. I slightly modified the intake system: now the air intake is not right next to the radiator, but a little higher. I also highly recommend replacing the firmware of the engine control unit. Just don’t skimp, don’t buy the cheapest ones - read the reviews on the forums, choose a decent one, because novice flashers can easily kill your engine.

What will it give? Improves the connection between the engine and the gas pedal. If now it can be seen that the pedal is electronic, then there is a complete illusion that there is a cable. After the firmware update, the engine itself feels more elastic, and the Vesta’s annoying feature of twitching when driving through yards when driving in second gear, at idle speed, has also disappeared. In addition, the firmware also makes it possible to select an economical driving mode - but we, as they say, did not agree on character. For the 1.8 engine, the firmware gives an even more pronounced effect, but there it is single-mode.”

A car for a beginner: what does the instructor advise? Trying on LADA VESTA and the new LADA GRANTA

LADA VESTA has been on the market for almost three years, a lot of modifications have appeared, but the “classic” sedan is the most popular. It is bought by both singles and families, taxi drivers and retirees, students and white-collar office workers on the second line, experienced drivers and beginners. The new LADA GRANTA was presented to the public quite recently, at the Moscow International Salon 2018. We go to the official LADA dealer in Perm, FORVARD-AUTO, to consider both car options for a beginner.

We also believe that LADA VESTA and LADA GRANTA are one of the best options for a novice driver, and we will even explain why. A special guest to help us is Svetlana Novikova , driving instructor.

“Instructor Sveta” - her class schedule is filled to capacity with cadets, and her phone number is passed on by word of mouth. He teaches from scratch in one of the Perm driving schools, talks about the principles of safe and conscious driving in the “I am a pilot” project, and achieves a high percentage of passing the license exam from his students. “This is about the site,” Svetlana clarifies. “There would be a high percentage of passing the city, but there are factors beyond the control of the instructor.”

Our guest is familiar with LADA VESTA and LADA GRANTA cars firsthand. Her training car is a LADA GRANTA, retrofitted for training future drivers at FORVARD-AUTO, and she drove a VESTA, in the version of a classic sedan, for two years.

— I switched to LADA VESTA from a larger car, the Chevrolet Orlando family van. I was delighted with VESTA - from its appearance and equipment. The decision to include ESP, the exchange rate stability system, in the basic equipment of a Russian car - yes, this is the most important decision of AVTOVAZ in recent years! When people ask me which car to choose as their first, I always advocate for a new and modern car.

The new LADA GRANTA is also worthy of becoming the first car. In the photo from the FORWARD-AUTO showroom you see a sedan and a hatchback, but there is also a liftback and a station wagon.

LADA introduced the new LADA Granta family, the model range of which consists of five cars: - sedan - a real functional car with a classic body type - hatchback - compact and maneuverable, cocky and carefree - liftback - the ideal combination of dynamic design and spaciousness - station wagon - roomy and practical — Cross station wagon — ready for travel and any type of road

From a safety point of view, LADA GRANTA meets all vehicle safety requirements in Russia, and in a number of parameters they are stricter than European ones. If the driver is a novice, but careful, attentive, follows the rules of the road, and does not take unnecessary risks, everything will be fine. Airbags in the LADA GRANTA are present even in the basic version, and in higher trim levels there is also a stability control system and other assistants.

Why a new car from a dealer?

The first car must be an assistant. A person at the start of his driving career does not feel entirely confident behind the wheel, and a car should help him gain this confidence. LADA VESTA and LADA GRANTA have a number of options that really support the driver in difficult road situations and protect him from mistakes. We are talking about active safety systems and parking assistants.

“Of course, the choice of the first car seriously depends on the capabilities of the buyer. The minimum here is 300–350 thousand rubles. It’s better if it’s 400–450 thousand rubles, and it’s really good if the purchase budget can be stretched to 700–750 thousand rubles. If it’s a new car, that’s absolutely great,” advises our guest Svetlana Novikova.

Some newcomers also consider used foreign cars as their first car, but upon closer examination, many lose out to the LADA VESTA. The size of the interior and trunk is excellent, the sound insulation is no worse than that of Japanese cars of previous generations, and the appearance has received recognition. And, of course, it’s nice to accustom yourself to a comfortable car from the very beginning - the LADA VESTA is larger than most sedans in this class, it has more space, and the finishing is almost as good, and the price tag is 100-150 thousand rubles lower. The advantages of LADA GRANTA here are its price. And most importantly, these are new cars under warranty, in which the likelihood of technical problems is negligible.

Features of the dealership are professionalism, hospitality of the staff and a full range of services to support the transaction. There is plenty to choose from: the dealer always has more than a thousand cars with a title in stock, and there are more than 10 reliable banks among the financial partners. Since 2012, 15 thousand motorists have become clients of the dealership. Here you can use the services of a service center and equip your car with the necessary additional equipment (alarm system, anticorrosive, video camera, tinting, etc.), as well as undergo car servicing. And here everything has been done for the convenience of the client - at the expense of FORVARD-AUTO, he will be provided with a taxi so that he can safely go home, leaving his car for servicing.

And one more important highlight of FORVARD-AUTO is that the dealership center is located in the very center of the city, on Reshetnikova Street. Convenient to get around even if you don’t have your own car yet!

Why you should pay attention to LADA GRANTA

The new LADA GRANTA deserves to become the first car. LADA GRANTA is affordable and simple, recognized as one of the most reliable cars. And its suspension is not afraid of “neither holes nor ditches”, which a novice driver can easily fall into. Large trunk, many body variations - finding the right LADA GRANTA is easy.

  • The ergonomics of the driver's seat of the new LADA Granta is built according to European canons: logical and understandable arrangement of controls, high seating position, excellent visibility provided by large mirrors and a low window sill line. The shape of the front seats has been modernized, they received more comfortable headrests and pronounced lateral support. And the seat itself can be adjusted in height in the range of 40 mm.
  • On the new LADA Granta family, the vibroacoustics of the body, interior and power unit have been taken to a new level - soft fender liners have appeared in the wheel arches made of a special material that does not absorb moisture and effectively dampens sandblasting and gravel impacts.
  • Another pleasant improvement is the appearance of an external electric trunk release button.
  • the strength structure of the body provides a reliable frame, complemented by modern safety systems, including: anti-lock brakes with emergency braking system, brake force distribution system, hill start assistant, exchange rate stability and traction control systems. For more reliable insurance when maneuvering in reverse, parking sensors have been introduced.

Why you should pay attention to LADA VESTA

Beginners have little experience, and this shortcoming needs to be compensated for. The machine will compensate for the lack of experience and help. What does LADA VESTA have for this? First of all, there is ESP (exchange rate stability system), there is an anti-lock braking system, the car is informative and understandable to the driver, the driver-car connection is really created in just a few trips. What kind of connection? When there is no pause between the action of a person and the action of a machine, when there is a clear understanding that the car obeys the steering wheel at the right moment, and so on.

With the latest LADA models, the driver-car connection is created very quickly.

The presence of ESP even in the database, according to Svetlana, is almost the most important parameter for a first car. At first, a driving school cadet rehearses home-work-shop routes, and the directional stability system does not manifest itself in any way. Then it’s time to expand your horizons and the novice behind the wheel goes somewhere out of town.

“The most common situation: summer, a trip to the country, I decided to overtake someone. We remember that experience is not enough: the decision to overtake was made in the wrong place and at the wrong time. We have to complete this overtaking somehow on the side of the road - one side of the wheels runs on the asphalt, and the other on the side of the road. ESP will correct this error if the driver has the skill to reduce speed. The same thing happens in winter, on snow and ice. ESP copes with the ruts - both in the snow and in the asphalt on high-speed roads,” explains Svetlana.

Information management and ESP in the database are not the only advantages. LADA VESTA stands perfectly on the highway within reasonable speeds, it has good, correct settings. LADA VESTA has a spacious interior on par with class B foreign cars, with the difference that it is already B+ in size. And the level of interior comfort is several orders of magnitude higher than it once was in old VAZ cars. An interesting observation: LADA VESTA is popular in taxi services where “decent cars” are used.

Instruments are clear and informative.

As was said earlier, on the highway LADA VESTA stands worthy within the class and even more confidently than other competitors from the “our car” camp. LADA VESTA also feels great in the city - its dimensions allow it to confidently maneuver in traffic, the energy-intensive suspension copes with speed bumps and tram rails.

There are also many questions about the choice of gearbox - manual or robotic. To make the right choice, it is worth thinking about how the car will be used most often? If you have to drive a lot on the highway, a manual is better; it will allow you to spin the engine better for dynamic maneuvers. If most of its mileage will be in city use, the home-work-shop route and traffic jams, then it’s definitely worth looking at the robotic box.

Over three years, AVTOVAZ has carried out a series of upgrades to this gearbox, carefully listening to the wishes and complaints of users, and this has borne fruit in terms of gearbox reliability and response speed.

Svetlana Novikova: Yes, driving a robotic gearbox accustoms you to a smooth ride. It must be remembered that a smooth ride is equally safe.

According to Svetlana Novikova, two years of owning the car left the most pleasant impressions. Parting with the car due to a change to a training vehicle with special equipment was touching, and in future plans - again a LADA VESTA, a sedan or even a SW Cross.

— Of course, girls buy into the appearance of the car. It will soon be three years since the LADA VESTA was released, but many still say: “Look, it’s really beautiful!” By the way, it’s not just girls who say this. Three years ago it was a breakthrough for LADA, and on the street all heads turned after the first LADA VESTA. And now you can’t tell whether it’s a foreign car or our car, the gap has been closed. The 1.6-liter engine is enough for a lot of things: acceleration is quite good, overtaking - the flight is normal. And there was always a great feeling that the car understood what I wanted from it. And where competitors start with the “base”, LADA VESTA already has decent equipment.

Multimedia - yes, modern.

In its class, LADA VESTA looks very beautiful for the same money and is more richly equipped. There is more space here than in other class B sedans - you can safely measure the space in the back seat with a tape measure, but the difference is clear even at the level of sensations.

— I thought that I would never get used to a sedan, but after a hatchback and a family van, I appreciated the sedan’s trunk - all the things are there, the interior in the back is in order, the trunk lid weighs little, it closes itself and my hands are clean. It warms up quickly and remains warm in the cabin for a long time - this is important when you have small children.

The first car is not only for a single bachelor. The first car for a family becomes an even more important choice with arguments regarding internal volumes and price. Children love it when there is a lot of space in the car - there is enough space for games and activities. Parents also love it when there is a lot of space in the car - children do not kick the backs of the front seats and do not get capricious in disputes over personal space.

— THREE compact child seats fit on the back sofa of the LADA VESTA — checked! “The ISOFIX fastening is also included even in the basic configuration, and I was very surprised by this at the time. By the way, the locks for child seats are well implemented - there is a good distance between them, and my older children fastened the seat belts themselves.

Convinced. What about the loan?

There are options: both traditional and express with a minimum of documents. At the dealership you can choose car loan terms from a large number of partner banks. There is also a special car loan program LADA Finance, implemented by PJSC AVTOVAZ together with partner banks. LADA Finance is worth paying attention to: interest rates here are lower than the basic offers of partner banks, the down payment is quite affordable, optimal loan terms are selected, and a preliminary decision on issuing a loan is made quickly. Let's see what happens:

Dimensions, interior and exterior

Having seen a photo of a Lada Vesta hatchback without explanation of which manufacturer this car should be attributed to, any experienced car enthusiast will easily and without much thought say that this is AvtoVAZ. The breed can be seen in everything, despite the fact that visually the car turned out to be much more profitable and attractive. Its style is somehow subtly reminiscent of both new Volkswagens and Hyundai cars from three years ago.

At the same time, the car turned out to be significantly larger than the previous Grant and Priora models. According to the country's automotive experts, the Lada Vesta hatchback is as close as possible in body size to category C according to the international classification. The width and height of the hatchback body coincide with the same dimensions of the sedan and are 1764 and 1497 mm, respectively. The length of the Lada Vesta hatchback is slightly shorter than that of the sedan body, and is 4250 mm.

As for convenience, this car deserves the highest praise. The impressive body has become a guarantee of a spacious interior for five passengers, where everyone can find a comfortable place for themselves. This is facilitated by the large distance between the front and rear rows of seats, and the design of the rear sofa, which includes a third headrest for the central passenger.

The radio deserves a separate discussion: in its standard version, it is only available in the basic configuration. In “Comfort” the driver will find a more advanced audio system, and if he purchases a Lada Vesta hatchback in the “Lux” configuration with the “Multimedia” option package, he will become the owner of an advanced device with a seven-inch touchscreen instead of the usual radio.

At the same time, the air conditioner practically cannot be changed as the level of equipment increases. Both for the basic model and for the most advanced modification, the air conditioning is the same - only the Optima option package includes a heated windshield.

However, the car is truly comfortable for both driver and passenger. As numerous videos of test drives made by enthusiasts and critics show, the interior in each trim level is quite beautiful and well-tuned in style. At the same time, the price of the maximum, most convenient and productive configuration does not differ much from the cost of the basic, cheapest one. For the “Classic” the buyer will have to pay approximately a little more than 400 thousand rubles, and for the “Lux” - only about half a million.

More details about Lada “Vesta” cars

Prices and configurations of Lada Vesta hatchback

Prices and configurations of the Vesta hatchback for 2022 are not known with certainty. Most likely, AvtoVAZ will not split hairs, and in total 3 usual versions will be offered:

  • classic;
  • comfort;
  • luxury

This is what Vesta hatchback might look like

The differences will be in the availability of certain options, additional equipment, as well as what engine and gearbox will be installed on the car.

One can only make an assumption that the price of the budget version, like the sedan, will be about 520 thousand rubles, while for the maximum configuration you will have to pay about 700 thousand.

Technical characteristics of Vesta hatchback

The units and components of the hatchback will not be subject to change; they will retain their technical characteristics and weight. The usual range of engines will remain: from the base 106-horsepower 1.6-liter engine to the top-end 120-horsepower engine with a displacement of 1.8 liters. There are no plans to expand the line of gearboxes. The buyer will have access to a five-speed manual and robotic transmission, as well as an unpopular CVT. Changes will affect the dimensions of the car:

  • length – 4250 mm;
  • width – 1764 mm;
  • height – 1497 mm;
  • wheelbase – 2365 mm;
  • ground clearance - 178 mm.

The difference with the sedan is not big. Since the cars are built on the same platform, the main difference will be their length.

First impressions

My Granta was no longer in very good condition. Therefore, there was no point in selling it, but we managed to sell it through the trade-in system. In the salon I signed all the papers, the contract, and left from there in a brand new Vesta.

First impressions turned out to be the most positive. Immediately I was able to identify the following advantages:

  1. Better sound insulation, making the cabin quite quiet;
  2. The suspension is comfortable and soft. Because of this, Vesta is more convenient to drive than Granta;
  3. The equipment itself impressed me. Even the basic one already has electric power steering and directional stability, which can be turned off by simply pressing a button. By the way, not all foreign cars have such a button.
  4. Of course, the car is equipped with electric windows for all windows, a radio with 4 speakers, heated front seats, a lift assist system, and radio control buttons on the steering wheel. For additional driver comfort, the package includes air conditioning, parking sensors and many other interesting features.

As you can see, the car’s characteristics are not inferior to many models of foreign cars.
