AvtoVAZ plans to release another model based on the Lada Vesta: its extended and strengthened platform is used for a promising minivan, known under the RGH index. Now the dimensions of the new product are known (except for the width), as well as some equipment details. This data is contained in the factory technical specifications, a page from which was at the disposal of blogger KhaDm from Tolyatti.
The wheelbase of the future minivan is 2909 millimeters, the overall length is 4600 millimeters, and the height is 1641 millimeters. The three-row cabin can accommodate seven people. That is, the Lada van will be almost 30 centimeters longer than the regular Vesta and will be a couple of centimeters ahead of the “stretched” Aura sedan. The new product will also become the tallest Vesta, taking this title away from the Lada Vesta SW.

Wheel sizes are 16, 17 and 18 inches. The equipment should include active safety and ADAS driver assistance systems.
Lada is preparing for a price increase: new prices for Granta, Vesta and Niva have been revealed It has become known when AvtoVAZ will start producing crossovers AvtoVAZ has stopped the assembly of all Vesta SW station wagons and 60% of cross-versions
The fact that AvtoVAZ is working on a minivan became known back in 2023. At the same time it became known that the model would be built on the basis of Vesta. In the future, it may replace Largus, but so far there is no talk of a complete replacement: the cars will be sold in parallel. The prototype of the van is planned to be shown in 2025.
The Vesta platform will also form the basis of the crossover, which appears under the HGH index. It will be larger and heavier than the Vesta SW and will be a step above the station wagon. Probably, the new product will not have “simple” units: under the hood a 1.8-liter engine with 122 horsepower is expected, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. The crossover will be shown in June, but it will not go on sale until 2026.
