Tolyatti blogger KhaDm named the similarities and differences between the two families. According to an insider, the equipment of the Iskra and Vesta NG will be 95 percent identical: almost all the “chips” of the flagship will be given to the new product, because the electronic architecture is common. However, Iskra has a European CMF-B-LS platform, which promises drum brakes at the rear and hubs with four wheel mounting points.
At no cost will the Lada Iskra have full LED optics (only DRLs), the audio system even in top trim levels will have six speakers (Vesta has eight), the heating of the front seats will be two-stage (Vesta has three-stage), the number of parking sensors will be reduced , there are no plans to equip it with a blind spot monitoring system. Also, the new product will not have a 1.8-liter engine.
Lada Vesta with CVT. We’ve waited! We tell you everything that is known about the new Lada Iskra. Photos of Lada Iskra prototypes crashed in crash tests have appeared.
They intend to respect the hierarchy in terms of the return of “sanctions” options. First, Vesta NG will have climate control, keyless entry and a full-fledged start-stop system. Finally, AvtoVAZ’s flagship is larger, more spacious and heavier. We wrote separately about the configurations and prices of the Lada Iskra sedan: a whole galaxy of modifications are planned at prices ranging from 1.2 to 1.6 million rubles.
Initially, the Lada Iskra was conceived as a replacement for the Grant, and the progress compared to the cheapest AvtoVAZ model is obvious: the plant will rely on higher quality metal, all external surfaces will be galvanized, and the share of welding automation will reach 70 percent. Progress is also expected in matters of active and passive safety.
