AVTOVAZ has started testing the first driving prototypes of the future crossover based on the chassis, motors and aggregates of the LADA Vesta model. Oleg Grunenkov, director of product programs and projects at AVTOVAZ, told Gazeta.Ru.
"We have really started to create a crossover on the Vesta platform. We will position it in the B+ segment. But so far, we are not announcing the launch dates for this car. We have already got the design worked out; it is on approval. We are now at the stage of selecting suppliers. While the "mules" are being tested, our developments on the Vesta platform, according to our standards, are prototypes," he said. О. Grunenkov noted that now AVTOVAZ uses a new technology of production preparation and a lot of operations are performed with the help of computer modelling.
All mock-ups undergo validation and adaptation digitally, including such things as impacts, and so on. "The physical samples, the final version [of the crossover], will come when the bodies are already directly in production. As a rule, this is a year before the launch of this vehicle. There we will already assemble certain prototypes, pilot series, from these bodies. We will carry out all cycles of validation and certification on them. So far, we have not started to do this," - said the top manager of AVTOVAZ.
At the end of December 2023, Deputy Prime Minister and head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov reported that the production of crossover based on LADA Vesta should begin in 2026. AVTOVAZ expects that the novelty will be able to replace the once popular Renault Duster crossover, which has all-wheel drive.
As previously reported "AUTOSTAT", the investment program of AVTOVAZ for 2024 will exceed 40 billion rubles. According to the company's development strategy until 2030, it is planned to maintain the leading position of LADA in the Russian automotive market.
