The domestic motorist no longer expected any feats from AvtoVAZ in the form of really good cars. However, the designers still managed to surprise even foreign critics with something: specifications the new Lada Vesta did not disappoint.
This nuance, combined with the relatively low prices for the new car offered to the domestic buyer (even in the highest configuration), created a resounding success for the model, which had barely left the assembly line. Russian motorists are closely following the development of events, and the designers never tire of surprising: the characteristics of the Lada Vesta sedan promise to be surpassed in the same model, made in the station wagon body.
Available body types
Reviews about the characteristics of Lada Vesta create a pleasant impression. Many car enthusiasts have the feeling that this is not about the products of the disgraced AvtoVAZ, but about a solid new budget class foreign car.
It is worth noting that at this stage the Lada Vesta sedan, the characteristics of which have already managed to amaze the public, is the only mass-produced body type. AvtoVAZ's capacities will be ready for the release of this model's hatchback by the end of spring 2016, and all kinds of test drives after restyling will take place and will be released for sale only by the fall.
The most delicious news is left for last. The technical characteristics of the Lada Vesta station wagon promise to be something qualitatively different and superior to the capabilities of a sedan and a hatchback. Information on the exact indicators of this model is not yet available, however, work on the creation of Vesta of this type is already underway at the concern. It is worth noting that the plant's management promises to make this station wagon a real crossover: the characteristics of the Lada Vesta will fully meet this title. According to experts, more fuel consumption and more power should be expected standard engine feeding four-wheel drive and also - independent soft suspension... In this case, the station wagon risks becoming a real pearl of AvtoVAZ, and such a success can overshadow past failures. Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to find out anything about the characteristics of the Lada Vesta cross, however, the crossover is planned to be released immediately after the hatchback is released.
Dimensions Lada Vesta
The impressive dimensions of the Lada Vesta deserve special attention. Currently, the car is the largest in its class - and this guarantees not only stability on the road, but also space for the driver and passengers, and the presence of a spacious trunk. Of course from large sizes maneuverability in urban conditions suffers somewhat - however, this nuance is compensated for by the remarkable handling of the model, revealed on a test drive.
The standard body width will be 1,764 mm and the height will be 1,497 mm. In this case, the sedan will be slightly longer than the hatchback: the overall length of the first will be 4410 mm, and the second - 4250 mm. The shorter length of the second type of body, which could negatively affect the size of the trunk, is compensated by the higher height of the rear of the car.
The wheelbase for both the sedan and the hatchback is 2,635 mm and the track width is 1,510 mm. With the given proportions of the wheelbase, the turning radius is only 5.2 meters - this is a fairly good indicator for a car of such impressive dimensions for its class.
The clearance of the model is large enough, but varies depending on the assembly and configuration. As shown by past experience, the characteristics of the Lada Vesta "Sport" (WTCC) will differ from the standard types of city car trim levels: the clearance of the sports model will be significantly lower to ensure greater stability on a flat road and greater downforce of the air flow.
Power characteristics of Lada Vesta
Since the station wagon predicted by the leaders of the Vesta project does not yet have an exact project, it is worth talking about the technical characteristics of the available body types. By the way, they are absolutely identical for both the sedan and the hatchback - the choice of the body type depends solely on the buyer's requirements, aesthetic and practical considerations.
The standard Lada Vesta, the technical characteristics of which will fully meet the harsh realities of Russian roads, will be released with a 1.6-liter sixteen-valve engine with a capacity of 106 Horse power and a five-speed manual transmission Euro. Modifications will also be available with a smaller eight-valve engine (87 hp) and a similar gearbox with integrated kick-down option. Fortunately, for lovers of automatic transmission, in some "Comfort" trim levels and in all "Lux" trim levels, a robotic gearbox is provided.
Like previous models, the Lada Vesta is equipped with a rigid front suspension (MacPherson strut) and a semi-dependent rear suspension with spring damping. This information is true for the sedan and hatchback - the station wagon, according to many experts, will undergo considerable changes here.
The brakes installed on this model are standard. The front wheels are equipped with disc brakes, and the rear wheels are also equipped with drum brakes. This element passed all the tests and passed the necessary crash tests - the braking system became one of the few elements that did not require serious modifications.
Convenience and speed
Lada Vesta by no means began to be considered the most comfortable car in its category - many foreign cars still surpass even the Lux package in terms of their equipment. Another thing is that the ratio of the price and characteristics of Lada Vesta cars makes this new brainchild of the AvtoVAZ concern a much more profitable acquisition. In his price segment budget cars Vesta has no competitors: price standard configuration The classic is a little more than 500 thousand rubles, and full set The suite costs only a quarter more (625 thousand rubles), with functionality comparable to that of an expensive foreign car.
The dimensions of the trunk are quite impressive. It is very deep and very comfortable, since the wheel arches of the body hardly stand out inside the car. The working volume of the trunk is 450 liters - here Vesta also did not take championship in its category, however, this figure is quite good.
As for the speed - good news awaits those who like to drive. The technical characteristics of the Lada Vesta quite allow the car to accelerate to 185 km / h, while it develops 100 km / h in just ten and three tenths of a second. For a hatchback, of course, slightly different aerodynamic conditions apply - however, its speed and acceleration will be quite good for a car in a budget price segment.

The LADA Izhevsk enterprise currently produces only the LADA Vesta sedan, but in the future AVTOVAZ intends to launch the production of station wagons, crossovers and several sports modifications based on this model. Line of engines Lada Vesta includes several petrol power plants... From the start of sales, the car is offered only with a 1.6-liter engine with 106 hp. This four-cylinder unit with a serial number is a Russian development and is installed on other AvtoVAZ models, for example, on the same Lada Granta liftback. Later, the sedan's motor range will be replenished with H4M engines (1.6 liters, 110 hp) and (1.8 liters, 122 hp). The first engine was provided by the Renault-Nissan alliance, the second - domestic development.

Lada Vesta is recognized as the most popular car in the line of models of the AvtoVAZ company. Automotive experts highlight the original appearance, refined handling and good quality.
That is why the configuration and prices of Lada Vesta are of interest to fans of the brand. For the flagship model, the plant offers a wide choice among configuration options, both in terms of endowment with options and in various technical designs.
general information
The appearance of the new model Lada 2180 became known in 2014, when a new development program for the automobile giant appeared. The plans for release for 2015 included a modification with a sedan body, and a year later a car with a hatchback body was put on the conveyor.
This is how the history of the car began in a new corporate style, which consists in the presence of elements in the style of the letter X in the image of the car.
The presentation of the model took place on August 27, 2014, 6 months after the release plans were announced. This dynamics was first noted at AvtoVAZ factories. New model built on a completely independent platform, which is designated as LADA B.
This project was a logical continuation of joint work in a trio with French and Japanese companies... It is characteristic that the plans for the production of a car with a hatchback body have not yet been realized.
Specifications
Thanks to a new approach to building a car, Lada Vesta received a large number of different modifications. Technical characteristics that are not related to a specific configuration are determined geometric dimensions car. Dimensions (edit) auto make up:
- Length - 4410 mm.
- Front axle width- 1510 mm.
- Rear axle width- 1764 mm.
- Height - 1497 mm.
- The wheelbase is 2635 mm.
- Ground clearance (clearance) - 178 mm.
Dimensions (edit) cars with a hatchback body promise to be somewhat more modest, but not by much.
The first tests of the car showed that the distance from the roadway to the protection of the engine compartment is 185 mm, and without it, a car with a robot has a clearance of as much as 200 mm.
Thus, the passport data is laid out with a margin.
Among the demanded indicators, which potential owners pay attention to, stand out:
- trunk volume - 480 l;
- engine location- transverse;
- drive type - front.
In general, the car has good characteristics in comparison with other indicators of cars in its class.
Power series
In the line of motors, there is no longer a traditional unit for the Priora model with 8 valves. The choice of the buyer is presented with modern power units three types:
- Base Lada Vesta engine 1.6 l. Has 4 valves per cylinder, capacity - 106 liters. sec., torque - 148 Nm. The motor has a factory index of 21129 and belongs to its own development.
- Alternative motor 1.6 liters of Euro 5 class. The unit developed by Nissan is capable of delivering 114 liters. sec., but has a slightly higher torque - 153 Nm.
- Flagship motor 1.8 l. Has increased power - 122 liters. sec., torque - up to 170 Nm.
Fuel consumption depends on the type of transmission used and does not exceed 9.3 liters per hundred in the urban cycle. Japanese spends about a liter less in city mode power unit.
The maximum speed is determined for the "younger" engine at 178 km / h, and the flagship unit develops 8 km / h more.
The drive of motors developed by AvtoVAZ on both engines is belt-driven, and the Japanese 1.6 engine has a chain drive. This would save on maintenance... But in order to optimize production, the unit of the Nissan concern is not yet common for Lada Vesta.
Machines with mechanical transmission
Depending on the driver's preferences, the transmission option is chosen between the classic "mechanics" and the robotic transmission with one clutch. Manual gearbox ( 5MT) fits only with a 1.6 liter engine. The box has some features:
- unit model - JH3;
- origin - French model of Russian assembly.
Mechanical transmission provides confident acceleration up to 100 km / h in 11.2 seconds, and fuel consumption during quiet country driving is within 5.5 l / 100 km. The unit has a clear switching and quiet operation in any modes.
Test drive Lada Vesta, video:
Automatic transmission machine
Automatic box gears for Lada Vesta is designated by the abbreviation 5AMT and is a robotic unit with one clutch. Compared to the units of other models of the concern, the features of the Vesta robot are expressed in the following features:
- Smoothness when switching.
- Fuel efficiency compared to "mechanics".
- Low noise level.
- Equivalent acceleration dynamics compared to manual gearbox.
- Low speed performance.
- No need for regular maintenance.
Thus, the choice in favor of a robotic transmission should be made with frequent use of country highways, measured driving style. The automatic transmission does not depend on the circumstances, which engine is on the Lada Vesta, you just need to select the required configuration in the car configurator.
Configuration and cost
When choosing a vehicle's performance level, it is easy to get confused considering all the options for selecting a vehicle without first defining the vehicle in the dealer's configurator. The choice is carried out in the following categories:
- Color palette. The choice of car is available in ten basic colors.
- Equipment level. Lada Vesta is available in Classic, Comfort and Luxe trim levels. Before choosing, you should carefully study the level of equipment in the sections of security, interior, exterior and comfort level.
- Additional options. The option categories are listed under the names Start, Image or Multimedia.
- Power block. The presented equipment levels can be combined with any of the pairs - engine-gearbox.
Taking into account the chosen modification, it ranges from 515.9 thousand rubles. for the version with a 1.6-liter engine and 5MKPP in the Classic version.
The most expensive car is estimated, up to 705.9 thousand rubles, in a special anniversary version in the maximum configuration.
It is more convenient to appreciate the rich level of equipment when considering the Classic configuration, which includes four sections.
The security section received the following main positions:
It is noteworthy that already in basic configuration equipping with devices passive and active safety almost maximum and does not differ from the Luxe version. This reflects the automaker's policy to improve occupant protection.
The exterior of the car stands out:
- body-colored painted door handles;
- built-in repeaters of turns in the side mirrors;
- decorative caps for stamped discs;
- a full spare wheel.
The interior of the car includes the following features:
- fully functional on-board computer;
- folding seat at the rear in a 60/40 ratio;
- adjustable armrest in the front row.
Comfort and convenience:
The minimum equipment is sufficient for comfortable driving, but can be easily expanded in the following trim levels.
To answer the question, how much is Lada Vesta in the initial configuration, technical equipment options should be taken into account. Vehicle versions are priced based on options, but only for the base engine:
- For cars in basic configuration with "mechanics"- from 515.9 to 540.9 thousand rubles.
- Automatic version has a cost of 565.9 thousand.
The Comfort version expands with:
- In the comfort equipment group, electric mirror adjustment, air purification upon entering the salon have been added.
- Comfortable driver's seat with lumbar support and height adjustment.
The range of prices for the current configuration is greater, which is associated with the expansion of modifications due to the use of all motors. Prices are in the range:
- For mechanical transmission - from 568.9 to 592.9 thousand rubles.
- For a combination of a pair of 5AMT and a 1.6 liter engine- from 593.6 to 617.9 thousand rubles.
- For machines with tandem 5AMT and 1.8 motor- from 618.9 to 641.9 thousand rubles.
The richest configuration stands out:
- Cabin changes... A case-holder for glasses appears, illumination of the thresholds when exiting and getting into the car.
- Comfort and safety. The car gets a light and rain sensor, heating windshield, cruise control with speed limiter. Additionally, a multifunction steering wheel and a multimedia system are installed, as well as full cruise control.
The machine receives original alloy wheels dimension of 16 inches. Spare wheel in the car remains on the stamped wheel. At the same time, the standard dimension of the car is one inch lower.
The price range of the maximum configuration is also determined by three pairs of power units:
- For a pair of 1.6 L and 5MT- from 631.9 to 655.9 thousand rubles.
- For a similar motor and 5AMT- from 656.9 to 705.9 thousand.
- When ordering a car with motor 1.8 and 5AMT the price is set at 705.9 thousand rubles.
When choosing a body color, an additional option is the choice of a metallic paint. The surcharge is 12 thousand rubles. A special offer is the original body paint in lime color, which costs 35 thousand rubles.
It is worth noting that any of the noted configurations, if desired, can be supplemented with a separate option from among those installed in the Luxe configuration. The most demanded are:
- fog lights;
- rain and light sensor;
- cruise control with maximum speed limit.
The prices quoted for the sedan model correspond to the minimum values. Dealers have the opportunity to reduce the price from a previously set threshold to a specified price level during the period of the promotion.
Six months with Vesta. Test drive result, video:
Special configurations
A special one has already left the assembly line of AvtoVAZ anniversary version of the car... Lada Vesta in this version has a number of characteristic features.
Externally, the car stands out for the combination red and black... Against a red background, the black roof is favorably set off, the same side racks and mirrors. In the aft part, a redundant red brake light in a black molding frame looks spectacular.
At first, it is a car with a hatchback body.
Secondly, the plant plans to install a modern variator on advanced versions as a promising and relevant transmission option for the model.
Thus, the car is able to satisfy the needs of the most demanding customer.

DIMENSIONS OF LADA VESTA
Bu Inge Andersson knowingly said that in terms of Lada sizes Vesta will be one of the leaders in the class, which in many ways will ensure its popularity. That is, strictly speaking, it is difficult to unambiguously attribute the car to segment B, since it is located at the junction of classes B and C. The length of the sedan is 4,440 mm, with a width of 1,764 mm and a height of 1,497 mm, and this is much more rather than Hyundai solaris(4375 mm, 1700 mm and 1470 mm), which is one of the main competitors of the Russian car.
The wheelbase of the Lada Vesta is 2,570 mm, and the track of the front and rear wheels is slightly different - 1,495 mm and 1502 mm, respectively. The ground clearance of the novelty is traditionally greater than that of foreign cars and is equal to 171 mm under the crankcase of the power unit, subject to full load, and also 144 mm, subject to changes under the engine mudguard. This, together with the front overhang of the body of 860 mm and the rear overhang of 915 mm, as well as the entry and exit angles of 16.6 ° and 14.2 °, ensures the possibility of confident movement on country roads, which is important for residents of small towns.
The luggage compartment of 480 liters of useful volume is also one of the most spacious in the class, and payload 487 kg allows you to take a lot of luggage "on board". The curb and gross weight of Vesta is 1,178 kg and 1,653 kg, respectively. But the distribution of the curb and full weight along the axes is different. In the first case it is 60/40, and in the second it is 52/48. With regard to towing a trailer, for a device equipped with brakes permissible weight equal to 900 kg, and for such, but without brakes - only 450 kg.
LADA VESTA ENGINES
At the moment, Vesta is equipped with three engines, but only two of them were developed by domestic specialists, while the top version was provided by the owner of AvtoVAZ - Alliance Renault Nissan. List of motors:
- VAZ 21116 - 1.6 liters, 8 cl., Power 87 liters. with.;
- VAZ 21127 - 1.6 liters., 16 cl., Power 106 hp;
- HR16DE-H4M - 1.6L 16 cl. with a power of 114 hp.
Structurally, all engines are the same - identical volume, atmospheric design, 4 cylinders, transverse arrangement, injection system power supply and timing belt drive. Differences are only in the number of valves, settings and some technical features... In addition, all motors have been produced for a long time, which means that they no longer have any kind of "childhood diseases". So the engines are quite reliable by today's standards.
Technical characteristics of Lada Vesta engines.
However, there is evidence of a possible expansion of the motor range. And if earlier these were nothing more than rumors, now the information has been confirmed by the corporate publication of AvtoVAZ. According to the data received, the new power unit will receive a volume of 1.8 liters and an index of 21179. Initially, it will be installed on the X Ray hatchback, but from October 2016 it will be installed under the hood of Vesta.
TRANSMISSION
In this respect, AvtoVAZ also offers a wide choice. The main gearbox will be a 5-speed "mechanics" installed on other VAZ models. In 2012, it was finalized, some components were replaced in it, Japanese and German parts were supplied, the volume of the filled oil was reduced and other work was carried out. As a result, the box is quieter, shifting has become more convenient, and vibrations have decreased.
Technical characteristics of gearboxes Lada Vesta.
Lada Vesta will not receive a classic "automatic" machine, which upset many visitors to dealer salons. Its place was taken by a "robot" of the AMT type, due to its low cost in production, created on the basis of a mechanical box bearing the index 2180. Despite the rougher work (small jerks and jerks during switching), the use of components from the world companies ZF and VALEO in it, coupled with less appetite and no need to warm up, provides the "robot" with real chances to become a worthy alternative to automatic transmission.
Weight of Lada Vesta engines and gearboxes.
In addition, Lada Vesta will also receive a variator, which will "migrate" to the domestic sedan with Japanese model Nissan tiida... However, there is no more complete information on it yet.

CHASSIS
The Lada Vesta suspension is created according to the usual pattern for the segment. On its front axle, MacPherson struts with a stabilizer will be installed, and at the rear, the designers have “prescribed” a torsion beam.
A MacPherson-type suspension is mounted on the front axle of the Lada Vesta.
Despite the absence of a multi-link circuit, the test drives carried out noted a decent level of vehicle handling, practically not inferior to the segment leaders - ..
Suspension tuning features. The Vesta's suspension stands out for its energy intensity, density and excellent adaptation to Russian roads. The steering has good feedback. The car has almost perfect directional stability, but at the same time heels unnecessarily when passing sharp turns and making sharp maneuvers at high speed.
The operation of the braking system does not cause any complaints, but the settings of the safety systems are assessed by experts as "unnecessarily safe".
Constructive pluses. The design advantages that distinguish Vesta from its main competitors include the suspension, already mentioned above, adapted to Russia, as well as: excellent visibility in the side mirrors, a large amount of free space in the cabin, comfortable front seats, good sound insulation, layout trunk, high-quality sounding multimedia.
Design flaws. Among the design flaws of this model, experts note:
- work algorithm automatic transmission in 1st and 2nd gears (the effect of "freezing" switching, weak reaction to pressing the gas pedal to the floor),
- poor visibility back to the right,
- lack of a mechanism for locking the gas tank flap,
- Body panel stamps "attracting" dirt,
- absence of a set temperature indicator in the climate control unit,
- lack of function for adjusting the power of seat heating,
- lack of illumination of automatic transmission operating modes,
- poor quality armrest.
Bad VIN location. In the event of a severe side impact, it is possible serious damage VIN numbers, which will force the owner to pay for expensive examinations to restore the legibility of the number.
Accumulation of dust and dirt in the engine compartment. There is too much clearance between the front optics and the Vesta's hood, behind which there is no seal, which is the main reason for the penetration of dirt into the engine compartment. However, in the places where the seal is installed, it also does not provide ideal protection. Experts advise installing an additional seal, which can be purchased at any hardware store.
The armrest falls through. The first "baby sore" of a serial sedan. The manufacturer explains the problem with the supply of low-quality components and promises to rectify the situation in the future. To solve the problem, you need to contact an authorized dealer.
Features of the operation of the VAZ-21116 engine. The engine is equipped with a lightweight ShPG and valve train not suffering from a broken timing belt. Meanwhile, the motor requires periodic valve adjustment, frequent replacement oil filter and regular monitoring of the condition of the components of the cooling system.
Noise and knocking when the motor is running. The probable cause is incorrect valve adjustment. Valves need to be adjusted. If noise persists, contact your authorized dealer.
Turnovers "float"... The main reason for floating speed is a malfunction of the position sensor throttle... Sensor replacement will be required.
Rough engine running. If the engine runs unevenly, but the compression in the cylinders is within the normal range, then the likely cause of the problem lies in the ignition module that needs to be replaced.
Features of the operation of the VAZ-21127 engine. Equipped with a resonance chamber with a volume control function using controlled dampers. Sensitive to pressure drops in fuel system and violations in the work of the timing. If the timing belt breaks, the valve bends.
The engine has lost power. The most common cause of power loss in this motor is a burnt gasket, which reduces compression. It is necessary to change the gasket and check the compression. If the compression has not returned to normal, then, in addition to the gasket, the components of the ShPG also suffered.
"Troit" the engine. The reason for the "triplet" of this motor is most often the clogging of the nozzles. It is necessary to flush the nozzles. If this solution does not help, it is necessary to check the operation of the ignition coils.
Engine noise or knocking. The most common reason for the appearance of extraneous noise in the operation of this motor is damage to hydraulic lifters. If replacing hydraulic lifters did not help, then the problem may come from worn out main and connecting rod bearings.
Features of operation of the HR16DE-H4M engine. A robust engine designed for AI-95 gasoline, but capable of "digesting" AI-92 gasoline. Has a tension-resistant timing chain drive that does not require frequent adjustments or replacement of the chain. The most weakness- the exhaust pipe ring, which burns out more often than the car owners would like.
Motor vibration. The most common cause of strong vibrations this motor is damage to the right engine mount. To fix the problem, you need to change the pillow.
Whistling in the area of the engine. Whistling sounds under the hood are caused by the stretching of the alternator belt. It is necessary to tighten the belt or replace it with a new one.
The engine has stalled and will not start. This engine may suddenly stall due to failure of the ignition unit relay. To fix the problem, a relay replacement is required, so experts recommend always having it in stock.
