AVTOVAZ plans to release its own SUV in three years. Of course, the novelty will be based on the Vesta platform, since this is the most modern development of the factory workers. The AvtoVzglyad portal reflects on how we will see the “off-road” Vesta.
We already wrote that the Volga Automobile Plant plans to “break” the Russian car market by releasing a full-fledged crossover. And now the head of the company, Maxim Sokolov, told Forbes some details about the upcoming domestic SUV. In particular, he noted that the highly localized novelty will not “play” in class B, but will be closer to C, that is, B +. Production will start at the end of 2025.
Apparently, Togliatti engineers will take the defunct station wagon Vesta SW Cross as a basis. It will most likely retain the familiar X design, and will also receive LED lighting from Vesta NG.
According to the top manager, competitors will be bestsellers such as Hyundai Creta and Renault Kaptur. Also, Mr. Sokolov believes that part of the audience watching Duster will buy Vesta B+, and part will go to Niva Travel. That’s just the drive of opponents can be complete, and Vesta has only one drive shaft. Yes, and in terms of equipment, the “French” with the “Koreans” are superior to our brands.
Recall that last year AVTOVAZ wanted to abandon the Vesta platform, explaining that the technical characteristics of the “wagon” do not allow the creation of crossovers and SUVs. Yes, and modern electronics such as active cruise control and automatic braking systems cannot be introduced here.
From this we conclude that the “Dusters” and “Krets” imported via parallel import are probably not at risk. The monodrive Vesta B+ will “play” on the “field” of most budget SUVs, which isn’t bad either. With an affordable “price”, our people will buy it.
When can we expect an all-wheel drive version? When the factory workers upgrade the French CMF-b platform. That is, they will develop an “off-road unit” for it. The CMF-b XJO “trolley” (this is the designation given to the Russian version) will form the basis of a completely new family. Only then will we see SUVs and even SUVs with high ground clearance and all-wheel drive with a “lower”. By the way, previous representatives of the brand said that this could happen as early as 2024. That is, “living” cars will appear in 2026-2027.
