In Lada Vesta NG 2022 it sounds louder The Lada.Online website posted a review from another owner of the new Lada Vesta NG, who claims that AvtoVAZ is already saving on the horn. [caption id="attachment_85657" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Lada Vesta NG[/caption] The Lada Vesta NG horn has become quieter. Comparison published For comparison, he posted two videos. The first demonstrates the sound of the Lada Vesta NG 2022, and the second demonstrates the Lada Vesta NG 2023. The spare parts catalog indicates that the Lada Vesta NG uses a new high- and low-tone audible warning device. There is a version that the plant installed a horn from the old Vesta from leftovers on the first Vesta NG, and then began installing a new one.

The plant plans to deliver more than 40,000 cars in December AvtoVAZ President Maxim Sokolov said on the sidelines of the People Forum that in December the plant expects to supply dealers with at least 40 thousand Lada cars. According to the top manager, in this way they will be able to approach the annual sales level of the pre-crisis 2019. I have no doubt that sales in December will be more than 40 thousand cars. That is, 40 thousand cars will go from the AvtoVAZ site to dealers. This means that, due to the factoring mechanism, AvtoVAZ will already count these cars as sold and will receive money to pay off suppliers and put these funds into an asset along the entire chain. [caption id="attachment_85648" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AvtoVAZ[/caption] AvtoVAZ plans to get closer to the sales result of 2019 based on the results of 2023 He recalled the difference between the terms “implementation” and “sale”. In the first case, we are talking about the shipment of cars from the AvtoVAZ site. And the dealers themselves are directly involved in sales. Yes - we set a goal to sell more than 40 thousand. But even if this figure is not achieved due to cooling of demand, the speed of operation of AvtoVAZ conveyors will not change. And we will produce everything that we have planned according to our plan. And if we produced it, believe me, we will sell it. In November, AvtoVAZ sold 36,054 Lada passenger cars and light commercial vehicles in Russia. Compared to November last year, sales increased by 65.9%, while November sales were lower than October sales (40,912 cars).

It turns out that Vesta NG has problems not only with the digital “tidy” of the top version New owners of the Lada Vesta NG have identified new problems with the car - in addition to a bunch of those that are already known. Thus, the owner of a Vesta NG Enjoy purchased a month ago complained about... stuck mileage! It is important to note that this configuration comes with a regular dashboard, not a digital one, the operation of which has a lot of complaints . [caption id="attachment_85591" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Lada Vesta NG[/caption] “ It’s basically dead at 3,375 km ,” the owner complained. He also talked about freezing turn signals: “ One fine frosty morning, well-rested, I approach the car, warm it up, start driving, turn on the left turn signal and see that it doesn’t turn on, turn on the right one - also nothing. After 30 minutes, turning on both the left and right turn signals, I saw that they had finally come off and started working as normal .” The owners spoke about new problems of the Lada Vesta NG Another owner of a Lada Vesta NG also has a problem with turn signals, and the car’s mileage is only 1,800 km: “ The left turn signal does not work (they are replacing the steering column switches with new ones) ,” a person who was not very happy with the car briefly described the essence. The wipers also do not work on this car. “ The wipers don’t work... replacing them with new ones helps ,” the owner wrote. This is not a complete list of problems. Meanwhile, more than a dozen Vesta NG owners have encountered freezing windshield wipers. Here is how the Lada.online resource describes the problem: “ After starting the engine, if you switch the wipers to the first position in the first mode, they freeze (they stop in a raised position). This doesn’t happen anymore until you turn off the engine .” [caption id="attachment_85592" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Lada Vesta NG[/caption] An algorithm for solving a problem has already appeared , which, however, in principle should not exist.

These are new cars without mileage The Lada.Online resource published interesting information that a warehouse was discovered in Poland where forgotten Ladas are stored. [caption id="attachment_85466" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Ladas[/caption] Users posted photos of VAZ cars of the tenth family, which are being prepared for loading onto car transporters in the city of Lodz. We are talking about “new” cars without mileage that have been sitting in a warehouse for many years. However, the further fate of these machines remains unknown. A warehouse with forgotten Ladas of the tenth family was discovered in Poland The tenth generation VAZ family was produced at AvtoVAZ until 2007. Then, until 2014, the VAZ-2110 was assembled under license from AvtoVAZ vehicle kits at the Bogdan Corporation automobile plant in Cherkassy under the Bogdan brand. If these cars are imported from Russia, then they are at least 16 years old. If they are from Ukraine, then their age is at least 9 years.

Several machines have already been assembled in which this function is again implemented. Not the most important, but still useful function will return to Lada Vesta cars. We're talking about cooling the glove box. [caption id="attachment_85378" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Lada Vesta NG[/caption] “ AvtoVAZ will return the “glove box cooling” function for Vesta cars. Several test cars have already rolled off the assembly line last week ,” reported the public Avtograd News. The Lada Vesta NG will return the glove box cooling function [caption id="attachment_85379" align="aligncenter" width="770"] Lada Vesta NG[/caption] Let us remind you that Vesta removed the ability to cool the contents of the glove box in early October. Then it was reported that supplies of the mechanism for opening and closing the air duct from the heating and air conditioning system, which was produced in Germany, had ceased to be supplied to Russia. Probably, the mechanism was able to be imported.

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.

The head of AvtoVAZ promised to assemble the first batch of e-Largus by the end of the year AvtoVAZ President Maxim Sokolov said that the company produces a new car every 26 seconds. The words of the top manager are quoted by Avtostat. [caption id="attachment_83223" align="aligncenter" width="670"] AvtoVAZ[/caption] “ Although, of course, problems have arisen in connection with this [sanctions] , but we are solving them. Every 26 seconds, one new car rolls off the production lines of the enterprise, and each of them finds its buyer ,” said Maxim Sokolov. He added that the company, despite the sanctions, will fulfill all obligations, including by the end of 2023 it will assemble the first pilot batch of e-Largus electric vehicles. And mass production of these cars will begin in 2024. AvtoVAZ produces a new car every 26 seconds Details about the experimental batch of e-Largus appeared in the “Russian Automobile” Telegram channel. It turns out that AvtoVAZ has only 30 bodies that can be turned into ready-made e-Largus. At the same time, it is not clear what to do with them, because they are not certified. Perhaps they will simply be used to develop production technologies. Maxim Sokolov said that mass production of e-Largus will start in 2024, but not everything is clear about the production volume of the electric car: everything will depend on demand. “ Production volumes depend on demand, and this, in turn, depends on the support of buyers from the Russian government. After all, this electric car is localized to the maximum extent possible in Russia, and we expect that such support will be significant ,” said Maxim Sokolov.

Paint applied to bodies with defects After the manufacturers of imported enamels BASF and PPG left Russia, the color palette of AvtoVAZ cars was reduced to almost one color - white. Now the company is gradually trying to solve the problem, but it doesn’t always work out well the first time. The Telegram channel “Autostream” writes about this. [caption id="attachment_83072" align="aligncenter" width="770"] AvtoVAZ[/caption] AvtoVAZ painted twenty Niva SUVs in three new colors – the entire batch was “wasted” “ According to insider information, AvtoVAZ recently, in an effort to expand the color palette of cars, tested 20 Niva Legend bodies with Chinese paints and varnishes in new shades (Platinum, Coriander, Borneo). The paint on the Niva’s body was defective, so the entire trial batch was “wasted ,” reports Autopotok. At the same time, the same paint worked well on the Granta and Vesta models - several cars were assembled in the Platinum color. Problems with the paint still remain, but with ABS everything has already been resolved: serial production of Niva Legend and Niva Travel with a Russian-made anti-lock brake system has begun.

The head of the company announced this AvtoVAZ will resume production of all Lada Vesta models and Niva family SUVs with Euro-5 engines in December 2023, as stated by company president Maxim Sokolov on the sidelines of the Transport of Russia forum. “During December 2023, AvtoVAZ will restore Euro-5 standards on all Vestas. And both Nivas will be Euro-5 during December, plus they will receive ABS,” said Maxim Sokolov. [caption id="attachment_82748" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AvtoVAZ[/caption] AvtoVAZ will resume production of all models with Euro-5 engines - already in December 2023 Lada Niva Travel today is produced with an 80-horsepower 1.7-liter engine that meets the lower Euro-2 eco-standard. AvtoVAZ had to switch to it due to sanctions in 2022, when it was decided to assemble “anti-crisis” versions of the concern’s models. The return of Euro-5 to the Lada model range began on September 1 of this year; such engines returned to the Lada Granta models. It was previously reported that AvtoVAZ may significantly increase prices for all Lada cars in order to be able to produce new models.

[phonemantra-blog]

Price increase may reach 12% New Lada cars in 2024 may rise in price by 12%, as stated by independent automotive industry consultant Sergei Burgazliev, who added that all models will rise in price. “Next year AvtoVAZ will continue to raise prices for its cars. Given a stable situation in the country and in the economy, Lada models may rise in price by 10–12%, or even more, over the entire year. This will affect all company cars. This year, the auto giant changed price tags several times, and in total prices rose by approximately 15%,” said Sergei Burgazliev. Today the Lada Granta costs from 700 thousand rubles, and the new Lada Vesta - from 1.24 million rubles. Thus, in 2024, cars may become more expensive by 70 and 124 thousand rubles, respectively. [caption id="attachment_82735" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AvtoVAZ[/caption] AvtoVAZ may significantly increase prices for all Lada cars in order to be able to produce new models. Burgazliev added that the plant continues to depend on imports, and due to the depreciation of the ruble, suppliers of auto components from China are constantly raising prices. At the same time, AvtoVAZ plans to launch new models. “Of course, you can endlessly sell a 50-year-old Lada Niva, but we need investment in new models. Where can I get them? Ask the government, take out loans, or try to earn money yourself. The third option is most acceptable for AvtoVAZ,” the specialist added. Sergei Burgazliev was the one who at one time reported about the sale of the Volkswagen plant in the Kaluga region, about the problems of the first batch of Lada Vesta NG, about the resumption of the flow of Japanese cars to Russia and a shift in emphasis to small-displacement models, about the assembly of BAZ trucks at the former Toyota plant, about that AvtoVAZ wants to get into the segment of large sedans with the Lada Aura model, hoping for the government procurement segment.

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.

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.
