Today we will be doing a long-awaited review. "Lada Vesta" is a new car from VAZ, which strikes the minds of car connoisseurs with an original approach to creating cars. It always seemed to our people that the Russian auto industry could not create a masterpiece, but for its price, Lada Vesta is one. Of course, it has some shortcomings, but against the background of other cars of this manufacturer, it took an honorable first place. In creating this vehicle, a new approach has been taken in all aspects: design, production, as well as construction.

Given the work put into this car, and its difference from its predecessors, we will try to give a completely objective review. "Lada Vesta", of course, will stand out from the rest. And if most of the reviews about other AvtoVAZ cars cannot be called positive, then when creating this model, the VAZ design bureau team seems to have taken into account all their shortcomings.

Design

You've never seen anything like this before! This car has an incredibly original and thoughtful exterior compared to other cars of the plant. Of course, somerecognizable VAZ elements have been preserved (for example, their front part is branded, albeit beautiful), but in general the design is completely similar to the concept of the Lada Vesta car presented earlier. So, they left a tightened stern, as well as beautiful stampings on the Vesta profile.

But the car differs from the concept wheels. So, depending on the configuration, the new Lada Vesta will have 15-16-inch wheels. The view of the side of the car will be pleasing to the eye, regardless of the viewing distance. You can look at the car from a distance or up close, but it will still be excellent. In terms of design, the Lada Vesta is simply beautiful.

Review: interior, exterior

Outwardly, the car looks decent. If a person who does not understand cars looks at it, at first glance he will not understand that this miracle was developed in Russia, everyone is so used to the fact that the design is slightly better than the old Soviet Zhiguli, the products manufactured by AvtoVAZ. And it's hard to believe that a handsome man with recesses, a beautiful grille on the front bumper is a Russian product. Although this is the creation of engineers from Togliatti.

The interior is no less surprising: the speedometer, fuel level gauge and other dashboard instruments look incredibly modern in a car called "Lada Vesta". We give a brief overview of the salon. For decoration, simple, in the best sense of the word, plastic is used, creating an incredibly minimalist design. Special attention should be paid to the ergonomics of the car: it is a cut above whathave done before. For example, it becomes even more convenient to control the climate unit.

Functionality

In this subsection - the positive qualities of the review. "Lada Vesta" is quite comfortable for the driver and passengers.

1. The car features a spacious and deep 480-litre trunk, which is much larger than the storage compartment in the Volkswagen Polo and Ford Fiesta, which are fairly popular cars.
2. Riding in the back seat is comfortable even for a person with a height of 180 centimeters, there is enough space in front, but if a taller man is placed in the back seat, there may not be enough space on top. And this applies to cases when one person rides in the back seat. If there are several passengers, it becomes crowded. However, three people of average height can fit in the rear seats, which is pretty good.
3. The feeling of driving a car is also amazing. Excellent road view. "Lada Vesta" is equipped with high-quality foglights in the "luxury" package, and the level of comfort for the driver is the highest. In expensive variations, even seat height adjustment is available, the absence of which was a serious problem for cars from this manufacturer earlier. Speakers that never sound as good as they do now deserve special attention.
4. It is important to note the quietness of the gearbox. Gone are the days when she growled like a tractor. Now everything is modern.

For such, at first glance, insignificant, nuances, you should fall in love with thiscar.

As you can see, in Togliatti they began to pay attention to small things, which never prevented us from increasing sales. It seems that earlier specialists corrected only shortcomings that immediately caught the eye, and did not even try to look for small ones. But competitors constantly show us that there are no trifles. After all, if you put them together, you get a terrible product. But hopefully that's in the past. Here is a brief description of the functionality of the new Lada Vesta model.

Overview, price of different configurations

Provision is made for the release of the car in three trim levels, although their total number can reach twelve thanks to the new policy of AvtoVAZ. Now the car began to resemble almost a designer (with certain restrictions): you yourself can choose for yourself the most necessary components and features of the car. Here are the main configurations and their prices:

1. "Classic" - the basic equipment, for which you will have to pay 514 thousand rubles. Even in the cheapest variation, Lada is equipped with electronic collision warning systems, has a 5-speed manual gearbox, 106 horsepower. If you pay 25 thousand rubles, you can get a car with automatics. The car does not have airbags.
2. Comfort equipment will cost 570 thousand rubles, has body-colored mirrors and door handles, as well as heating with a parking assistant.
3. "Luxury". The most expensive equipment will be equippedrain sensor and foglights and costs 609 thousand rubles, which is quite democratic.

External characteristics

The car is available in sedan and hatchback bodies. In the first case, the length will be 4.41 meters, and in the second - 4.25 meters. The width of the car is 176.4 centimeters and the height is almost 150 centimeters.

Specifications

1. The maximum speed is 185 km / h, and the car picks up a hundred in 10 seconds.
2. Manual transmission with the ability to buy an automatic with options.
3. Disc brakes with ABS as standard.

Conclusions

Of course, this car cannot be called the best in the world. For a slightly higher price, there are competitors and more worthy. But the new Lada Vesta, which we reviewed, is absolutely perfect against the background of previous creations of a domestic manufacturer. Of course, all the advantages cannot be considered in such a short article. And we can safely say, summing up the entire review: "Lada Vesta" is a car with an optimal price-quality ratio. And this is good news.
