By the way, on the modified LADA Vesta architecture, VAZ plans to start production of the latest crossover of the B + segment. Probably we are talking about a model designed to replace the LADA XRAY that has sunk into oblivion. And the conveyor belt will master a completely new B-class sedan. True, unfortunately, there is no information about him yet. But it is known that production of the refreshed LADA Largus will resume in the autumn, which will also receive a purely electric version in addition to traditional versions with a combustion engine. The tests of the electric car are almost completed. And very successful.
And then – the most interesting! As many as two new crossovers designed to captivate buyers in the SUV segments C and D. Both new items will be registered at the former Nissan plant in St. Petersburg, which residents of Togliatti inherited after the Japanese brand left Russia . In the initial phase, the intention is to produce 10,000 cars. In addition, it is possible that the cars will be marketed under a double name, as a product of the joint activities of the two car giants. The new companion, as you might guess, will be a mysterious company from China.
This means that the appearance of the LADA Duster crossover, once invented in the press, cannot be counted on. Maybe that’s for the best? Still, I want to see something more sophisticated and technologically advanced, but affordable at the same time. And with price lists, as we have already noticed, Togliatti people are not fierce. We hope they don’t start.
