In an interview with the Rossiya 24 television channel, the Finance Minister called the LADA Aura a luxury car and noted that he sat in the passenger seat and behind the wheel – and he liked it. “This is a very comfortable car, no worse than its foreign counterparts. This has been absolutely verified by me,” Siluanov added.

He noted that the corresponding state order for the Aura sedan has already been made and the first five sedans should arrive at the ministry early next year. Employees of the Ministry of Finance will be the first to switch to domestic business cars, the minister proudly emphasizes.

At the same time, series production of the LADA Aura is planned to begin only in August-September 2024, although the sedan was recently noticed in the service area of ​​one of the capital’s AVTOVAZ dealers. It was probably taken for employee training or a private presentation.

AVTOVAZ said the model would best meet public procurement criteria, but “private owners” could also purchase it if they wished. LADA Aura is equipped with the recently introduced 1.8 Evo power unit – a tandem of a deeply modernized VAZ-21179 engine with a power of 122 hp. Of. and a Chinese variator.
