When you think of the Lada brand, you immediately remember the rustic and rustic Lada Niva, which has been built almost unchanged since the 1970s. But the Russians from AvtoVAZ can also do quite differently, as the new Lada Vesta Sport impressively demonstrates. If the normal Vesta with its extroverted design line is already noticeable in normal road traffic, the again significantly tightened Vesta Sport shows what ambitions the Russian folk brand Lada has to get rid of its cheap Eastern bloc image.
Designer Steve Mattin pulled out all the stops.
The current Lada Vesta is the first model of the Russians to embody the current design line that has nothing in common with a classic Lada. The rounded front with the large grill, which reminds a little of the current design line from Lexus, without being extremely extroverted, points the way to a modern future, and the extremely unusual side view with the X-shaped beads, which is an invention of the new designer Steve Mattin are very polarizing. At the rear, the classic step cut is shown, which is given a sporty touch by the spoiler lip and the newly designed, sporty bumper that integrates the two trapezoidal exhaust pipes. The 17-inch aluminum and the lowering to a ground clearance of 14,7 cm, 3 cm less than the normal Lada Vesta, also contribute to the fact that the Russian Jetta competitor is very dynamic.
Lada has added a briquette to the engine.
The 4,42m long, 1,77m wide and 1,48m high sedan from Russia has a 1,8 liter naturally aspirated petrol engine that provides 145 hp and 184 Newton meters of maximum torque. The 1322 kg limousine, which shines with a power-to-weight ratio of 9,11 kg / hp, sprints to country road speed in 9,6 seconds, which is typical of Ladaun. Propulsion of the doped Vesta also ends at 193 km / h. That should be quite sufficient for a low-budget car that is poaching in the area of the Dacia Logan, especially since it does not have to prove itself to any direct competition, since there is no other sedan with this much power in this price range, at least not on the European one Continent. The power transmission is done by a manual transmission with only 5 gears, which, in my opinion, shows that Lada has to start somewhere with the Vesta Sport.
In terms of equipment, there is nothing to complain about.
When it comes to safety and comfort equipment, the Lada has made a quantum leap compared to its predecessor models. All important features such as ESP, tire pressure control and 6 airbags are standard on board. In addition, the sporty Russian also has a multimedia system with navigation function and 7-inch touchscreen and automatic climate control.
With that, Lada could polish up his image.
Such a sporty compact sedan in the price range of the Lada Vesta Sport, which costs the equivalent of only 14.000 euros in Russia, would surely also be to the taste of many car fans in Germany and Western Europe, and could suddenly turn the gray mouse Lada into a cool, trendy car brand, that seriously competes not only with Dacia, but also with more expensive car brands.
