Despite the fact that in the near future the management of the concern has planned to reduce the production of this model, every season it undergoes all sorts of modifications and improvements. Quite reliable, adapted to the peculiarities of the domestic climate and roads, Lada Priora always represented budget categories passenger cars. This season, the buyer received a comprehensive high-quality restyling, where engineers made the most of the car's potential features.

Externally, it differs from what was previously presented to the consumer for several years.

New AvtoVAZ models for the 2017-2018 season became known only recently, while fans of the company immediately rushed to discuss possible innovations in the presented models. In this article we will try to reveal the details of seven new products at once and talk about the appearance of the cars, interior design and technical characteristics.

Lada Vesta station wagon and Cross version of the sedan

First, some news. During his speech at the Moscow International Salon, Nicolas More announced that in 2017 the Lada Vesta will have a station wagon version. Also this year there will be an elevated Cross version, both station wagon and Vesta sedan.

Lada XRAY-Cross

Lada Xray-Cross is planned for release in the first half of 2017. This will be a B-class crossover. Today, this car model is popular in Russia due to a number of features and attractive prices. The price for Xray is set at up to 1 million rubles.

It is possible that the car will receive disc brakes that will be installed on all wheels. A protective body kit for the car is also expected. The clearance will become slightly increased, and rear drive its design will be similar to that of the Renault Duster.

It is planned to increase the angles of entry and exit, and the base, on the contrary, will be slightly reduced. This will enrich the car good parameters geometry. At the same time, insiders learned that despite this, the Xray's ability as an SUV will be largely limited due to the B-class and the fact that electromagnetic clutch can work for a fairly short period of time. If you ignore this point, then overheating and breakdown of the operating mechanism is possible.

LADA Kalina

The restyled version of Lada Kalina will appear in Russia closer to the beginning next year. In 2017 its cost will be the same as current generation. The changes will be minor, but worth mentioning.

The crossover, as befits this class of car, will receive a noticeably increased ground clearance. The new generation Lada Kalina has become a little taller, which also changed its appearance. In this situation, the car looks a little more aggressive, and its power is determined by a well-thought-out suspension system.

The installed shock absorbers and increased ground clearance perfectly withstand highly difficult road surfaces. The interior of the cabin, as indicated by insiders, remained untouched, except that “cosmetic” updates were carried out.

Power new Kalina make up 87 “horses”. Capacity fuel tank It is designed for 50 liters, but the trunk has 350 liters (+320 liters with the seats folded down).

Lada Granta

The next generation of Lada Granta will appear in Russia in 2017. The cost of the car will remain the same. Considerable changes were made, affecting both the exterior and interior of the car, as well as changes in better side specifications.

It is worth immediately noting that the Grant’s power will be either 82 “horses” or 106 Horse power, depending on the selected configuration.

The manual transmission will certainly please fans of this model, and the presence of a virtual assistant on the dashboard seems to be appreciated by them. The gearbox, according to rumors, may be completely robotic.

Externally, the car has remained virtually unchanged. Not much work has been done inside the cabin. more work. In general, engineers and designers, as expected, focused on restyling the car.

Additionally, Granta will boast the following features: an anti-lock braking system, airbags for passengers in the front row of seats, the ability emergency braking in case of sudden danger on the road section, directional stability.

LADA Largus

The next generation Lada Largus will appear on the Russian market in 2017. I would like to note right away that according to unconfirmed information received from sources close to the company, the price of the new product will be set, if not lower than the cost of the current version, then at its level (about 500-600 thousand rubles).

It is noteworthy that new Largus received rethought wheels (their diameter is now 16 inches), higher ground clearance and plastic body kits. Externally, the car looks like a sports car for the whole family.

AvtoVAZ says that they initially conceived the car as a station wagon. He can handle it easily road surfaces Low quality, and also boasts a modified engine.

The interior has changed a little, and noticeably more space has been left for passengers free space. There are airbags, a multimedia complex, heated seats, and fog lights.

C-class sedan

Lada C, as insiders call it, is scheduled for release in 2017. The price of the car has not yet been announced, while there is no way to guess it at least approximately. Perhaps it will not cross the 1 million ruble mark, which many car enthusiasts would like to see.

The basis for the C-class sedan will be the 2180 platform. Again, insiders learned that AvtoVAZ is really comparing its future new product with the model Ford Focus. Engineers and designers Russian manufacturer They largely count on a huge response from drivers and that their fans will truly appreciate the efforts of the VAZ team in the process of creating the Russian Focus.

When designing the car, AvtoVAZ decided to focus on original design, good handling, safety and remarkable features that only sedan owners can take advantage of.

C-class crossover

The C-class crossover will appear in Russia in 2018. Insiders claim that the car's production name is Lada C-Cross. And they assure that the car will not become the successor to the Niva, about which there were previously many rumors and guesses.

The price, of course, is not named, but we can only assume that it will be identical to the cost of the Niva in the latest generation. At the current time, the development of the Lada C-Class car is at the concept stage and preliminary tests.

One can only guess that it will be an elegant car on the outside and beautifully decorated inside. It is also quite possible that it will be equipped dashboard, consisting of a huge set auxiliary systems control, which will greatly facilitate the driver’s work while driving.

Lada 4×4

Should appear in Russia in 2017. “New Niva” is a largely rethought car, which structurally consists of three doors. Some experts managed to assume that the price of the car would stop at around 700 thousand rubles.

Novaya Niva will receive an updated platform, which has gone through many stages of modernization. The “stuffing” will be completely new, if we draw parallels with the good old Niva, and appearance and the interior will suffer the fate of a total rethink.

It is quite possible that Russian market will only benefit from such innovations. Many insiders are already not afraid to make loud statements, for example, that Novaya Niva is one of best solutions(if not the best) that Russian designers could boast of over the past 10, or even 20 years.

According to sales statistics for the first half of this year, the most popular models on the domestic car market were cars under the Lada brand. This result was achieved, first of all, due to the fact that the company produces a variety of passenger cars in the budget category. Taking into account the current dynamics, AvtoVAZ has planned to release new products and modify a number of its models for the coming period 2017-2019.

Lada 4x4

The presence and implementation of a plan to produce and modernize its cars underscores AvtoVAZ’s desire to remain a leader in the domestic car market in the budget car segment.

Fired up with an idea all-wheel drive, Tolyatti engineers began to sculpt Frankensteins.
VAZ-210834 “Tarzan”. The creation of the Togliatti auto giant in the late 90s. and this is just the “face”. The back of the miracle car looks even more impressive.

There was a VAZ-210834 with a “eight” body, a VAZ-210934 with a “nine” body and a VAZ-210994 with a “ninety-nine” body. One more example:

Scaring enemies is the best thing. Moreover, the bandits who shared AvtoVAZ throughout the nineties would have looked extremely convincing with just such cars. Price lists of those years report that the cost of “Tarzan,” made to order, was 180 thousand rubles. For comparison, an ordinary “nine” then cost 90 thousand rubles. One “Tarzan” at AvtoVAZ seemed not enough and already at the “Autosalon`99” visitors were able to admire a new masterpiece - the VAZ-21113 “Tarzan-2”.

And here's what it looked like from the front.

For some time there was a joke at VAZ:
-Where did Tarzan go?
- Lost in the jungle!
But the Nadezhda minivan turned out to be very good. For example, this original basic model

who, for her “bespectacled face,” received the nickname “Konstantinovna” (she owes this to Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya).

There were other variations that looked quite European:

VAZ 2120 “Nadezhda” was released in 2004. This model was even adopted by collectors

The armor is strong and our tanks are fast. And they’re also roomy – a seven-seater car! Which logically interested taxi drivers:

Where did such extraordinary brainchildren in every sense go? domestic cars proma? The total number of Tarzans produced did not exceed several hundred - SUVs turned out to be too expensive. “Nadezhda” was riveted much more - about 8,000 cars in 8 years. But the car was expensive, and the build quality caused a lot of complaints. However, now we can expect new revelations. Having pulled the Togliatti auto giant out of the crisis, Russian Technologies transferred a stake to the French concern Renault-Nissan. So, Russian car enthusiasts need not fear such shocks in the future, as well as the examples given above. To date, the French have already launched a modernized conveyor for the production of a new joint development LADA Largus on the Bi-zero platform (tank volume: 1.6 l; power: 90 hp; fuel consumption: mixed mode 7.5 l/100 km) Lada Largus - station wagon:

Lada Largus – cargo configuration:

Orders for the new model are already being received from taxi companies and small businesses. Volvo chief designer Steve Mattin was invited to AvtoVAZ to develop the design of new models. In August 2011, sales of the top version of the Priora model, called Special Edition (SE), began. The car is a “Lux +” version, complemented by a new bumper from the South Korean company LG, which meets European safety standards, and the radiator grille has also changed. The rear-view mirrors are equipped with turn signal repeaters, and on the fenders, holes from the moved turn signals were covered with SE nameplates.

Also aroused great interest among car enthusiasts Priora model in coupe configuration.

By 2015, Avtovaz will launch 10 new models. And in order for the quality issue to be resolved once and for all, its control was transferred to the French and Japanese. They will also monitor the modernization of production. Especially for this purpose, Japanese will soon appear at AvtoVAZ The educational center and Academy of Plastics. Serial production of a joint project between AvtoVAZ and Renault-Nissan called Lada C-cross will begin by 2015. Already, the design and expected technical characteristics of the domestic car have caused a storm positive feedback among specialists.

According to Steve Mattin, chief designer of AvtoVAZ, by 2026 year Lada plans to reschedule new design on all your new car models.

A direct speech from Lada's design director was quoted by the RNS news agency:

“We have a medium-term development plan until 2026, within which we plan to release 12 new models and 11 facelifts and, probably, by the time of its completion the entire model range will be completely updated in the X-Face style. Maybe even earlier."

Steve also assured that any new model released formally by a domestic car plant (remember, since the fall of 2017, the holding company that owns a controlling stake in AvtoVAZ, Alliance Rostec Auto B.V., is 82.5% controlled by the French by Renault), will be produced according to the brand’s new “X-shaped” X-Face style. Moreover, official confirmation was given that the restyled and updated models will also be redesigned to suit the new style.

So what are these 12 new models in the Volzhsky Automobile Plant family that will appear over the next 8 years? Let's talk about updates car line or at least we’ll try to guess what new products we should expect from the plant on the Volga.

Unfortunately, there is still very little information on all the new products that will definitely be released by 2026. Or rather, there is simply no such data. Therefore, we will operate with those that are at our disposal.

Second generation Lada Niva

The utilitarian SUV should be replaced by an ennobled crossover, based on a foreign platform and a transversely mounted engine. The basis will be taken (according to rumors) from the mass budget segment the company's Global Access platform.

The chassis has already begun to be modified in order to increase cross-country ability and off-road capabilities. The Niva should remain just such a car - not afraid of dirt. But at the same time, the SUV model will be much more convenient and prettier.

According to the latest media reports, new Niva should not turn out to be similar to Duster. Most likely, the signature X-shaped styling will be used, which will turn the utilitarian crossover of the 70s into a modern SUV.

Restyled Lada Granta

Model release date: late 2018 - early 2019

Presumably, the “facelift” will make Granta look like. The headlights have a similar design, a stylistically adjusted false radiator grille, the trunk will change with a new stamping for the license plate.

Although there will be changes in the interior, they will be very moderate. On this moment The dashboard is expected to change.

P.S. They are gossiping on the Internet that simultaneously with the start of release of the restyled version Lada Granta Kalina production will be discontinued.

Lada C Crossover

Model release date: unknown

Will there be a crossover for the C-class city or not? A lot was written about it a few years ago, but now little is heard about the project. It is logical to assume that this will be another trump card of the reviving plant. People need different SUVs - inexpensive, beautiful, comfortable.

Sports Lada Vesta

Model release date: 2018

“Charged” and dangerous. Externally, the AvtoVAZ model will change in a “sporty” direction. New bumpers, a spoiler integrated into the trunk lid, a new antenna and side mirrors.

New Chevrolet Niva model
