Recently they started to produce Kalina, Priora, Grants. And now they are becoming obsolete, new models of Lada cars are replacing. The plant does not stand still, is equal to the world's leading manufacturers, updating the model range with an enviable frequency.
AvtoVAZ cannot boast of a huge number of new products, but something, however, is hidden in its sleeve. So, recently new developments were presented to the public - Lada Vesta and X-Ray. These are completely new cars that were designed by engineers from AvtoVAZ, the French company Renault and the Japanese company Nissan. The prototype was made by both Kalina, Grants and Priors, and the French Megan and Sandero. But there is also a subsidiary of AvtoVAZ, which produces tuned versions of cars coming off the assembly line.
New Kalina Sport
The third generation of Lada Kalina Sport starts in 2014. There are many differences from the standard version, slightly less from previous generations. The 1.6 liter engine installed in the sports Kalina has a capacity of more than 140 horses. This figure is impressive, because earlier the power barely exceeded a hundred.
The designers paid a lot of attention to the suspension. Some components were borrowed from Renault, but in general, the entire suspension is built according to a non-standard scheme. True, she is tough, too athletic. Riding over bumps will seem like a real challenge. But on a flat surface, the car feels great. Cornering, even the steepest, takes place with little or no roll.
The design of the new Kalina Sport is impressive. The gills on the hood give not only an attractive appearance, but also significantly improve the cooling of the power unit. And you need to cool it, because a team of 140 thoroughbred horses under the hood. The price of such a "beast" is supposed to be in the range of 600-700 thousand rubles. A lot, but the final cost will be announced when supplies from component manufacturers are established.
Lada Vesta and X-Ray
The novelties of the domestic car industry, presented to the public the other day, have already found their fans. AvtoVAZ conveyors have already been practically rebuilt for the release of new models, which promise to be an excellent replacement for Priors and Grants. If we talk about Lada Vesta, then it looks somewhat like Lada Grant. True, she looks much prettier. Probably, this was influenced by the beautiful female name that the car bears.
But X-Ray is a completely new development. Both our specialists and the French from Renault took part in the design of the car. A tall hatchback, roomy and spacious, although it is a new development, it still has the features of Renault Megan and Sandero. After all, these two cars became the prototype of the X-Ray. Production of Vesta and X-Ray will be launched at full capacity in 2015 and 2016, respectively. The estimated cost is promised in the range of 400-500 thousand rubles. And what will be real - we will find out in a year.
