The project turned out to be unviable Evgeny Shmelev, First Executive Vice President for Strategy and Technical Development at AvtoVAZ, explained why the Duster project turned out to be unviable. After the restructuring of the Renault Group business in Russia, as a result of which the company's assets were transferred to AvtoVAZ with a buyback option, the issue of resuming production of some Renault models, in particular the Duster, was considered. [caption id="attachment_82640" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AvtoVAZ[/caption] AvtoVAZ explained why the Lada Duster was not released “We immediately realized that we simply would not make the Duster with all-wheel drive - either everything was blocked, or under the threat of blocking the supply of components. And “Duster,” according to statistics, was sold in Russia for more than ninety percent with 4x4, so making a “Duster” without all-wheel drive in the form of just a light crossover, dragging all the equipment and investing in further replacement of components, did not make any sense,” said Evgeniy Shmelev . Earlier, the Motor1 resource published high-quality images of the new generation Renault Duster crossover.

During two years AvtoVAZ plans to release four new models in the next two years, which was confirmed by company president Maxim Sokolov. In two years, the following cars will appear on the plant’s assembly line: the Lada Aura business sedan, the Lada Iskra mass-produced passenger car, the e-Largus electric car and the C-class urban crossover based on the Vesta platform. The first three models should appear next year, and the crossover is expected in 2025. Earlier, Evgeny Shmelev, First Executive Vice President for Strategy and Technical Development at AvtoVAZ , said that developing a car on the Vesta platform does not mean that it will be the same car. [caption id="attachment_82364" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AvtoVAZ[/caption] AvtoVAZ will release four new Lada models: the head of the company confirmed the timing Serial production of the updated Lada Vesta NG started in March 2023, and in August Lada Largus left the assembly line. Currently, production is being transferred to Izhevsk, where it is planned to release the first experimental batch of e-Largus electric vehicles by the end of this year. In addition, the company continues to produce Vesta, Largus, Granta and Niva cars. In 2022, Lada sales amounted to 188.6 thousand, which is 46% less than in 2021. Yesterday it became known that AvtoVAZ will discontinue the Lada Granta model, which is the most popular and affordable model of the brand. It will be replaced by the Lada Iskra, which will be produced in three versions: sedan, station wagon and cross-station wagon.

U2 company limited plans to start production in Ghana AvtoVAZ has found a new base for expanding the production of Lada cars, as reported by RIA Novosti. A company from Ghana, U2 company limited, has received a license to sell LADA cars and is currently actively negotiating with representatives of AvtoVAZ regarding the localization of production in Ghana. The Chairman of the Ghanaian-Russian Business Development Council, Lawrence Auku-Boateng, confirmed this information, noting that dialogues are currently underway with Russian partners. [caption id="attachment_82357" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AvtoVAZ[/caption] AvtoVAZ will expand Lada production in another country This is not AvtoVAZ’s first step in the African region. Earlier, in early autumn, the automaker signed a contract to produce Lada cars in Ethiopia. It is planned that production there will begin in the near future, and the vehicles will be supplied not only to the domestic market of Ethiopia, but also to other African countries, including Sudan, South Sudan, Kenya and Somalia. In July, it was reported about the concern's plans for partner assembly of Lada cars in Algeria, as well as negotiations on the supply of cars to other African countries, such as Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria, Morocco and South Africa.

Such cars were supposed to come out in 2021 AvtoVAZ began equipping Lada Granta Cross station wagons in the Quest version with a more modern multimedia system. According to the insider public Avtograd News on the VKontakte social network, this multimedia system has a 7-inch touch screen and pre-installed Yandex services. Presumably, we are talking about a simpler version of the AvtoVAZ multimedia system - EnjoY Pro. It does not have a rear view camera.

But this does not mean that cars without Airbag cannot appear on sale A few days ago, insiders reported that the Lada Granta had once again lost its airbags : AvtoVAZ was let down by the suppliers of this component. And now, according to updated data, the situation has improved: Airbags have begun to be installed on Granta again. [caption id="attachment_81834" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Lada Granta[/caption] Airbags began to be installed on Lada Granta, Nivas on the assembly line - even on Saturday “ Today, November 11, and tomorrow, November 12, GRANTA cars without airbags, previously assembled and stored on the territory of the automobile plant, will be tested in two shifts. The missing components have arrived, personnel have been recruited ,” informants said. Avtograd News also reported that on November 11, about 400 Lada Niva Travel and Niva Legend cars rolled off the AvtoVAZ assembly line. We assembled this many cars in 9 hours.

But this does not mean that cars without airbags will go on sale. AvtoVAZ admitted that it was not ready for the American sanctions imposed in September: partly because of them, Vesta is now produced in one shift. Financial problems that arose after the introduction of sanctions go hand in hand with technical problems: AvtoVAZ has a shortage of components. In particular, the company lacks airbags. This was reported by the insider public Avtograd News. [caption id="attachment_81312" align="aligncenter" width="750"] Lada Granta[/caption] Lada Granta has again lost its airbags. They may soon stop being installed on Vesta “ Due to a shortage of components, AvtoVAZ is resuming production of Granta cars without airbags. It is possible that the same version will have to be used on vehicles of the Vesta family, so as not to stop the conveyor ,” insiders said. Stopping the installation of airbags directly on the assembly line is, of course, unpleasant, but not fatal: they will be installed later on ready-made cars. In the meantime, cars that require modifications will be stored on the premises of the plant.
