A Little Bit of Money for a Lot of Car: Lada Vesta Starts Sales in Germany
AvtoVaz’s fresh sedan design, the Lada Vesta, has gone on sale in Germany. With an attractive base price tag of just €12,490, and an extraordinaire list of standard features, the puny family sedan will rival against the likes of Skoda, Fiat and Citroen.
On Monday, the Russian Trade Ministry released a statement on the launch of Vesta sales in Germany, noting that “German buyers of the Lada Vesta will be suggested the 1.6 liter, one hundred six horsepower engine.”
“The cars delivered to European countries meet Euro six emission standards, and differ from versions meant for the domestic market in the calibration of the control unit and their on-board diagnostics systems,” the statement added.
For €12,490, prospective buyers also get air conditioning, 16-inch alloy wheels, light and rain sensor systems, a decent audio system, cruise control, a multifunctional steering wheel, and parktronic parking assistance. They also get side airbags, which are available in Russia only in the Luxe option, as well as tire pressure sensors.
With its attractive price tag and healthy options package, Lada Vesta will be rivaling with other popular petite Sedans, including the Skoda Octavia, the Skoda Rapid, the Fiat Tipo, and the Citroen C-Elysee.
Earlier, AvtoVaz vice president of sales and marketing Ian Ptacek exposed the company’s plans to commence selling in Germany and Hungary. The company has found an importer in Germany which already sells other AvtoVaz offerings, including the legendary Niva 4×4 off-road vehicle, already popular in the European country.
In addition to the sedan, AvtoVaz has already spinned out several other fresh offerings designed from scrape, including the XRAY Crossover. Other concepts include the XCODE and Vesta Cross crossovers. The Vesta itself is decked out with a diversity of options, including several powertrains and transmissions, as well as different trim levels, including Classic, Convenience, and Luxe. A Sport Concept with a one hundred fifty horsepower 1.8 liter engine has also been developed, along with the Vesta Signature, which features an extended wheelbase and is meant for use by companies and government officials. A dual fuel Vesta CNG, able to run on both gasoline and compressed natural gas, is also under development, as is an electrified car variant. The Vesta was designed by well-known British automotive designer Steve Mattin.
