Chronology
Predecessor Lada Priora

The Lada Vesta is a small family car produced by the Russian car company AvtoVAZ since 2015.[5] Designed by Steve Mattin, it was presented in August 2014 during the Moscow International Automobile Salon[6] and went into mass production on 25 September 2015 in Izhevsk.[7] Within days after the Lada Vesta went on sale in November, it became one of the best-selling cars in the Russian market.[8]

Technical details

The Vesta is built on the new Lada B/C platform, developed by AvtoVAZ and Renault–Nissan Alliance engineers. It is powered by a 1.6-litre petrol engine coupled to a Renault-sourced manual transmission[9] or an in-house built single-clutch 5-speed automated manual transmission. As standard, the car has an airbag, anti-lock braking system with brake assist, electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), electronic stability control, traction control system, hill start assistant, ERA-GLONASS emergency system, tilt/telescoping adjustable steering column, remote controlled car central locking system with folding key, trip computer, car alarm, 15 or 16-inch wheels and full-size spare tyre, making it one of the most equipped models in the entry-level segment in Russia.[10]

Production of the Vesta started on 25 September 2015 at AvtoVAZ's Izhevsk manufacturing site. The first mass production Lada Vesta was a car of the Comfort trim-level, equipped with a 1.6-litre engine and a manual transmission. Sales started on 25 November 2015. The car is one of carmaker's flagship models.[11]
