As Mr. Sokolov told in the FederalPress edition, the immediate plans of the LADA brand include the restoration of the Vesta family assembly. A little further away is the release of a crossover based on this model! True, the president of AVTOVAZ did not give other details about the upcoming novelty to journalists.

The AvtoVzglyad portal has not yet received confirmation from Togliatti that the engineering corps has really started developing a new SUV. However, it’s worth noting that making such a change to Vesta is a long and expensive process. Even if the “SUV” is really fixed, at least in 2-3 years the car will go into series.

In addition, the obvious minus of the “Vestovskaya” platform is its front-wheel drive. To implement a 4×4 transmission, designers will not only have to implant a tapered gearbox and transfer case, but also design an independent rear suspension.

In general, while the statement of the head of the VAZ raises nothing but many questions. Although many admirers of the “Russian car brand No. 1” would certainly like to get a modern inexpensive crossover under the LADA brand.

Meanwhile, Tolyatti’s latest premiere is the “anti-sanction” LADA Granta Drive Active, which differs from the usual “Grants” by 28 original parts, including a branded body kit and anatomical seats. True, because of the crisis, the special version had to fit on a more modest engine.
