Production of LADA Vesta NG has started in Togliatti, but sales will not start until May. There are no prices – AVTOVAZ will announce them in April, but there are “organizational” details. So initially Vesta will be produced only with an 8-valve engine and a manual transmission – the 16-valve will appear in late spring. But alas, there is no question of returning to the 1.8-litre engine range.
As for the second extremely important event, the new version of the traffic rules came into force on March 1. What changed? Additional signs appeared, the definition of means of individual mobility, stopping prohibitions on safety islands and guides. It is now necessary to rearrange cars in parking lots divided into even and odd days from 9 p.m. to midnight. And finally, the rules for passing roundabouts have changed. Or rather, the wording of this rule has changed.
And in continuation of the topic of traffic rules, the news that the deputy of the State Duma of the Liberal Democratic Party Vasily Vlasov proposed to seize cars belonging to malicious violators of the rules and hand them over to the Ministry of Defense for the needs of the Russian army. Moreover, according to the initiator, the confiscation mechanism should work unilaterally, so without any compensation to the car owner.
But all this is empty. Same as the hysteria of the Germans from Volkswagen. The company, which ceased its activities in Russia after the start of a special military operation, decided to fight our parallel imports. The Germans do not like their cars being actively imported from China to the Immense. They have already banned official Chinese dealers from selling cars to Russian partners, but this makes little sense.
In general, of course, today China is our everything. And another confirmation of this is part of the new products about to be launched in Russia. What’s new? Omoda S5 and Changan Eado Plus sedans, as well as Chery Tiggo 9 crossover. It is not yet clear when the third will arrive, but the mission promises to do everything it can to make that happen as soon as possible.
And finally – a curiosity about the “Moskvich”. As the AvtoVzglyad portal found out, cars of the revived brand are now sold without a manual and with a non-working ERA-GLONASS system. However, this is a temporary phenomenon. In the foreseeable future, owners of Moskvich should be invited to the dealer to activate the emergency assistance system and receive a manual.
And more about the main events of the outgoing week – in the video review of the AvtoVzglyad portal, which you can watch Here.
