The top manager of the enterprise Oleg Grunenkov spoke about the prospects of the base engine. In an interview with the AUTO Energetik channel, he explained that the bet on the 90-horsepower VAZ-11182 was made because he was familiar with the proportional Grant. And the engineers managed to significantly reduce the time for calibrating and adapting the engine to the new model. Usually such work takes about 1.5 years, but it took Togliatti seven months.

Recall that the 16-valve engine (106 hp) should reappear under the hood of Vesta in May-June. But even then they do not intend to give up the “eight-valve”. Two modifications are sold in parallel. And if there is a lot of demand for the 90 hp Vesta NG from buyers, production will not be stopped.

In addition, the top manager announced the appearance in the first quarter of 2024 of a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine along with an automatic transmission. Most likely, this means the variator.
