Production began at the end of November A few days after the start of production, Lada Granta in Borneo color is already being delivered to dealers, as reported by the Lada.online resource with reference to the Avtograd News insider public on the VKontakte social network. GRANTA cars in Borneo color went to dealers. Let us remind you that “Grants” began rolling off the assembly line in this color at the end of November. [caption id="attachment_85451" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Lada Granta[/caption] Lada Granta in the new Borneo color is delivered to dealers At the end of November, the first significant batch of Granta cars painted with Borneo metallized enamel rolled off the AvtoVAZ assembly line. As a result, the Granta family received 4 types of enamel: white, black, “Platinum” and “Borneo”. Yesterday it became known that the problem of shortage of components at AvtoVAZ was not completely resolved. AvtoVAZ already produces Lada Vesta NG and Granta without airbags. The administrator of the Avtograd News public lives in Togliatti and works at AvtoVAZ. He leaked a lot of accurate information, including photos of the new Lada Vesta NG and information about the incomplete Lada Granta.

The plant has already received molds for the production of parts for the Iskra project Despite the fact that the production of Lada Iskra has been postponed from 2024 to 2025, the Volzhsky Automobile Plant is systematically working on this project. Thus, as the public Avtograd News reports, VAZ has already received molds for the Iskra project, with the help of which it will independently produce various plastic components. [caption id="attachment_85381" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Lada Iskra[/caption] “ VAZ Plastic Products Production (PPI) has received molds for the Iskra project, manufactured in a friendly eastern state. The car plant will produce bumpers, instrument panels, door cards and other plastic components necessary for the production of the new model ,” insiders said. Lada Iskra, let us remind you, is another compact B-class car. In the future, Granta will become history, and the much more modern Iskra will completely replace it.

Judging by the words of Maxim Sokolov, VAZ is already completing tests of Vesta with a Chinese CVT and soon such a car will be put on the assembly line The head of AvtoVAZ, Maxim Sokolov, specified the date for the appearance of the Lada Vesta NG with two pedals on sale. [caption id="attachment_85058" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AvtoVAZ[/caption] The head of AvtoVAZ told when Vesta with two pedals will appear. “ This will happen at the very beginning of 2024, in the first quarter. These cars will probably appear in our dealer network in March ,” Maxim Sokolov said on the Rossiya-1 TV channel. That is, AvtoVAZ is already completing tests of the Vesta NG with a new transmission, and its mass production will begin in the coming months. It is already known that the car will receive a Chinese WanLiYang CVT18 variator. First, he will register in the Lada Vesta (naturally, the car will become more expensive, since the foreign component is clearly more expensive than the VAZ manual transmission), and later the Lada Granta will receive the same transmission.

The information was confirmed by the head of the plant Maxim Sokolov AvtoVAZ has officially confirmed the expansion of the color palette: the plant has resumed production of Lada Vesta cars in silver “Platinum” color, as well as Granta and Niva Legend models in dark gray “Borneo” color. “We are consistently restoring the color palette. And just recently, just last week, we restored the “Platinum” color for Vesta and we restored the “Borneo” color for Granta and Niva Legend. And I’m sure that these colors will also find their buyers, variety is always good,” said Maxim Sokolov in a conversation with journalists on the sidelines of the “Russia” exhibition at VDNKh. [caption id="attachment_85050" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AvtoVAZ[/caption] AvtoVAZ announced an expansion of the color palette for Lada Vesta, Granta and Niva Legend He added that it is incorrect to talk about a shortage of paints at AvtoVAZ production. At the moment, we are talking only about a limited choice from suppliers, so the color palette of Lada cars was also limited for some time. For all Lada models, two “common” body colors are available: white “Glacial” and black “Panther”. Cars of the Granta family are also painted in “Platinum”, and the Niva Travel and Niva Legend SUVs are painted in dark green. Maxim Sokolov reported that the Lada Iskra, “the most affordable Russian passenger car on a high-tech platform,” is already delayed.

There are only about 1 thousand cars left on the territory of the plant that require improvement The “White Sea” of incomplete Lada Vestas, which formed this year on the territory of AvtoVAZ, has practically dried up: according to insiders, out of 15 thousand cars that required modification, only about a thousand remain.

The “Anniversary” was a white sedan in the Standard configuration Russian automotive giant AvtoVAZ announced that it has reached an important milestone - on November 20, 2023, total sales of Lada Granta cars crossed the 1.5 million mark.  [caption id="attachment_84004" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Lada Granta[/caption] Priora, Kalina and “nine” bite the dust: sales of Lada Granta exceeded 1.5 million cars The “anniversary” car of the Lada Granta family was sold in Togliatti as part of the “We Buy in Togliatti” program. It was a white sedan in the Standard configuration. The press service said: Having exceeded the 1.5 million mark, the Lada Granta has become one of the most popular Lada families and has overtaken such models as Lada Priora and Lada Kalina, and even the legendary “nine” (VAZ-2109) in sales volume. The “people's car” Lada Granta has been present on the Russian market for 12 years, since December 2011. Already in 2012, the model became one of the best-selling models and since then has consistently held 1st or 2nd place in the ranking. Lada Granta became the No. 1 model on the market 6 times based on sales results in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2019, 2020, 2022, and in 2023 AvtoVAZ expects a similar high result.

It turns out that the problem occurs when several Lada Vesta NG are standing next to each other An interesting video has appeared on the Bashkort Auto YouTube channel demonstrating another problem with the Lada Vesta NG: a completely new car, prepared for delivery to the buyer, did not want to start when pressing the Start-Stop button. More precisely, it started every other time. [caption id="attachment_83989" align="aligncenter" width="770"] AvtoVAZ[/caption] The dealer had several of these cars, all new. The car was delivered with discharged batteries, and a version appeared that this was the case. But it turned out that the problem arises in unusual conditions: when Vesta NG is surrounded by other Wests. AvtoVAZ, please replace this Start-Stop button with a regular ignition key https://youtu.be/MQntdCwJd-4 As the seller managed to find out, when several Vesta NG are standing next to each other (and this is a typical situation for a dealer), failures occur when starting by pressing the Start-Stop button due to the fact that the cars “communicate” with each other. As soon as the Vesta NG is parked alone, the car starts without problems. “ AvtoVAZ, please replace this Start-Stop button with a regular ignition key - and that’s it, there won’t be any problems ,” the seller complained. Previously, there were already complaints about the operation of the Start-Stop button, but we quickly found out that the key must be in a certain place for the system to work. Now another condition for the successful launch of Vesta NG has become known: it is very desirable that there are no other such cars in the immediate vicinity.

The car is still in camouflage Next year, the AvtoVAZ line will be replenished with a new model, developed by the company itself with the help of Renault. It will be a budget Lada Iskra, and it was filmed on the territory of the plant. [caption id="attachment_80274" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AvtoVAZ[/caption] Lada Iskra filmed live at AvtoVAZ The photo was posted by the insider public Avtograd News. “Lada lskra at the start,” insiders captioned the image. Lada Iskra will be built on the Renault CMF-B platform. The car will be offered in both sedan and station wagon body styles. Under the hood there should be a 1.6-liter VAZ engine, a VAZ manual transmission, and in top versions - a Chinese WanLiYang CVT18 variator from Lada Vesta. For some time, the Iskra will be sold in parallel with the Lada Granta, but in the future the Iskra will replace the Granta.
