The head of AvtoVAZ said that it unites LADA ISKRA and Zhiguli

And their launch date unites their production production: the spark, like the VAZ-2101 Zhiguli, will stand on the conveyor of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant on April 19, Maxim Sokolov told reporters. Thus, the first “commodity” copy of Lada ISKRA will be released exactly 55 years after the first “Lada”. At the same time, the “motor” found out that at the first stage the spark will be offered only with a 1.6-liter engine, and later a modification with a 1.8 engine may appear.

About the 1.8-liter engine, AvtoVAZ representatives said that its appearance on LADA ISKRA is a “technically possible solution, although not the prospect of 2025”. Three versions have already been confirmed for the model, with 1.6 liters with a capacity of 90 or 106 horsepower, a mechanical gearbox and a variator. The start of sales is scheduled for May 2025.

Lada ISKRA was shown in Kazan at the Truck Expo 2025 exhibition, the characteristics of the model were also declassified there. The spark with the least powerful engine and variator accelerates from a place to 100 kilometers per hour in 13.4 seconds. A sedan with a 90-horsepower engine and “mechanics” for one tenth seconds faster, and the most dynamic version, which is logical, with a 106-horsepower engine and a six-speed gearbox, removes from the “hundreds” for another second. The maximum speed is 170/175 kilometers per hour.

The fuel consumption declared by the automaker is 7.2-7.8 liters per 100 kilometers, the fuel tank is designed for 50 liters. The road clearance is also known, which is equal to 170 millimeters, and the volume of the trunk is 500 liters. The length, width and height of the sedan is 4333, 1777 and 1517 millimeters, respectively.

According to preliminary estimates, the novelty will be 1.2–1.6 million rubles, that is, it will be located between Granta (from 749,900 rubles) and Vesta (from 1,525,000 rubles).
