AVTOVAZ will increase production of affordable LADA Granta modifications​

AVTOVAZ will significantly increase the production of LADA Granta cars in the basic configuration Standard. This was stated to the portal "Auto Mail.Ru" by a source at the enterprise, specifying that it is not a hundred thousand, but several tens of thousands of cars.
"Last year, modest figures were laid down for the volume of low-cost LADA Granta configurations, this year there will be several tens of thousands of cars," - said the interlocutor at AVTOVAZ. The representative of the plant stressed that the management of AVTOVAZ this year has a task to cover as much as possible the various price segments in which the company's products are presented.
In 2023, the production of LADA Granta in the most affordable configuration was very much limited, added the interlocutor, without naming the reasons for this decision. Recall, since 2022, LADA Granta was produced in a simplified version - with engines of environmental standard "Euro-2" and without anti-lock brakes. Only in July last year, the plant was able to establish production of Granta with ABS, and more environmentally friendly engines of Euro-5 standard returned to the model in September.
In addition, by the end of 2024 it is planned to equip Granta with climate and cruise control systems, to update the interior trim materials. As previously reported, AVTOVAZ will produce up to 5 thousand cars LADA Granta with automatic transmission. This was reported to the newspaper "Izvestia" in the press service of the enterprise, specifying that we are talking about the transmission of Japanese company Jatco from the remaining stocks. "Part of the cars will go to social services, part will go to retail sale", - told on AVTOVAZ.
Currently, cars of LADA Granta family are equipped only with a 5-speed manual transmission. According to the results of the first two months of 2024 in Russia was sold 23 288 LADA Granta cars, which is 13.9% lower than a year ago, according to experts of the agency "AUTOSTAT" with reference to the data of JSC "PPK "*. As a result, the VAZ "budget car" remains the most popular model on the Russian car market.
