Production of the LADA Vesta with continuously variable transmission will begin very soon – at the end of this year or early next year. Moreover, the Granta automatic transmission project is also in the works, but the timing of its implementation is still vague.
As Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports with reference to the AVTOVAZ press service, production of the “two-pedal” LADA Vesta will begin “around the turn of the year 2023-2024.” “Plans for LADA Vesta remain in place,” brand representatives promised. They also added that a LADA Granta with automatic transmission is also in the works, but nothing can be said about dates yet.
The head of AVTOVAZ, Maxim Sokolov, previously said that tests of Vesta with a Chinese variator are already in full swing, but the plant is keeping its origin secret.
For the time being, Vesta is only available with a manual transmission. Next year the model will receive another update: a 1.8-liter engine with 122 hp. In addition, it is expected that a bifuel version will appear in the range, running on petrol and methane.
