It is not known why, but unnamed “sources” in car dealership associations assure the public that LADA Vesta has completely disappeared from sale. The AvtoVzglyad portal checked this information and made sure it was unreliable.

– There are no more LADA Vesta cars in dealerships. However, we do not exclude the possibility that there are single copies in some car dealerships,” the Russian Automobile Dealers Association (ROAD) told RIA Novosti.

Recall that the production of LADA Vesta at AVTOVAZ was stopped last spring due to problems with the supply of components. At the moment it is known about the launch of LADA Vesta NG production scheduled for March 2023.

Correspondents of the portal “AvtoVzglyad” under the guise of buyers visited five Moscow car dealerships of different dealer networks and found out the following. Only one of them had the Vesta model out of stock. Here we were offered to order a car, leave an advance and wait for the deliveries of new West cars promised for April-May.

At other car dealerships, cars of this model were in abundance. And in two of them we were offered both budget options (sedans with a 106 hp engine and manual transmission), and expensive Vesta SW and Vesta Sport. In two more trade organizations, only sedans in the Luxe configuration remained – with a 116-horsepower engine and a variator in the transmission. In addition, we saw at least a few dozen brand new LADA Vesta waiting for buyers in the indoor parking lot of one of these DCs.

In this regard, it is not entirely clear why anonymous sources from the bowels of the ROAD spread rumors about Vesta’s disappearance from the sale. Perhaps – to create an artificial rush demand for the car – to free up the warehouses of trade organizations for the expected supply of LADA Vesta NG.
