– The AVTOVAZ group will produce the first series-produced LADA car in mid-June on the site of the former Nissan factory. By the end of the year, 10,000 vehicles will roll off the assembly line. In the next 2 years, the output will increase to 30,000 per year, and we will no longer depend on anyone, we will produce cars ourselves, – said the governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov, speaking with an annual report to the deputies of the city ​​parliament.

Recall that a few weeks ago, at the LADA dealer conference, AVTOVAZ “lit up” its new model, the X-Cross 5. It turned out to be a FAW Bestune T77, a front-wheel drive “city crossover”, the Chinese manufacturer classifies it.

Specifications of LADA X-Cross 5 have not yet been officially announced. The “original” FAW Bestune T77 in the configuration for the Russian market has a 160 hp 1.5-liter gasoline-turbo engine, aggregated with a 6-speed “mechanics” or a 7-band “robot”. At the moment, Russian FAW dealers offer it at a price of 2.17 million rubles for the basic version and from 2.4 million rubles for the top version.

Recall that in early February of this year AVTOVAZ closed the deal to acquire Nissan’s Russian assets, including the St. Petersburg plant. Under the terms, the Japanese were given an option to buy back local businesses for the next 6 years.
