How will the production Lada Iskra differ from the exhibition model?

The Iskra exhibition model was first shown publicly in the summer at SPIEF 2024, and, as it turned out, it had Renault parts, since the model is based on the French CMF-B platform. But the commercial version will have the maximum number of localized components, and this is the fundamental difference from last year’s prototype.

As part of the final press conference, which took place in Moscow on January 15, the head of AvtoVAZ, Maxim Sokolov, announced the achievement of technological sovereignty. At the end of last year, the average level of localization of the Lada model range reached 95 percent: Niva Legend, Niva Travel and Granta have almost 100 percent (Granta has a little less than SUVs), Vesta has about 95 percent, and Largus is above 80. And then imported parts are supplied from friendly countries.

Iskra, according to Sokolov, will also receive the maximum number of Russian-made components. In particular, AvtoVAZ engineers adapted the French platform, replacing a number of technical solutions with those used on Vesta. As a result, Iskra was left without advanced driver assistance systems, namely lane control assistant, automatic braking and blind spot monitoring.

Otherwise, the architecture is similar to that on which the third generation Renault Logan is built: McPherson struts in front, semi-independent beam in the rear. Rear brakes are drum.

The spark will appear on the market with naturally aspirated 1.6-liter engines with a capacity of 90 and 106 horsepower. There will be several transmissions to choose from, including a Chinese-made six-speed manual and a Chinese CVT.
