AVTOVAZ may start production of the latest turbocharged engine

Information has appeared on the Internet that Togliatti will start producing 1.5-liter supercharged engines with a capacity of 150 horsepower. Of. The assembly will be located in the facilities previously used for the production of HR16 series engines of the Renault-Nissan alliance. However, there are quite a few questions about the project.

The intention of the factory workers to launch the production of a new iron “heart” is reported by the telegram channel “Autopotok”. At the same time, insiders do not cite data on the origin of the power unit. Let’s assume he has Chinese roots. Indeed, a month ago, at the former Nissan plant in St. Petersburg (it came under the control of LADA), they began to assemble the LADA X-Cross 5 crossover, and under its hood a 1.5-liter supercharged engine with a return of 160 hp works. Of. combined with a seven-speed “robot”.

It is possible that they will localize it, and at the same time enforce it for the sake of a more favorable rate of the transport tax. If this happens, the turbo engine may also appear on other AvtoVAZ models.

Recall that the French HR16 is installed on LADA Vesta and XRAY. In 2017, our country already had full-cycle production, including the casting of a cylinder block and block head. We hope that the accumulated experience and the equipment left behind after Renault’s departure will enable us to locate the Chinese engine in a fairly short time. However, these dates are not yet known.
