In 2015, for the first time released Lada West. Without exaggeration, it can be called a breakthrough in the domestic auto industry. Absolutely all the characteristics, both technical and design, are thought out to the smallest detail and ideally docked with each other. By all indications, Vesta overtook its predecessors and confidently entered the world markets. The designers borrowed and adapted the most interesting developments of foreign colleagues. Price Lada Vesta varied and depends on many little things. Let us examine in more detail all these nuances.
General impressions of the test drive Vesta
The test drive involved two cars with different chassis - with a manual gearbox Renault JH3 and with an automatic gearbox AMT. They were tested in a variety of conditions - acceleration on a straight line, cornering, lifting, sharp braking and much more. Professional drivers highly appreciated not only the technical characteristics of the car, but also the ease of operation, the overall comfort of the cabin and changes in sound insulation. Test Drive Lada Vesta gave the opportunity to see new perspectives of the Russian automotive industry.
Car appearance
Over the appearance of the Lada Vesta worked for quite some time. In the final version, it acquired more elongated forms than it was used to expect from domestic machines. This is not only a tribute to fashion, but also a significant improvement in streamlining the car. In particular, this was expressed in an elongated hood and a sloping roof. New Lada Vesta (wagon and cross) will have the same distinctive features, the designers decided to make it a highlight of the model.
Of the design features, you can highlight the letter X, which is clearly visible in the location of parts on the front of the car and sidewalls. In the original version, X was supposed to take place according to the design decision as a whole. But they decided to abandon the letter in smaller details for the sake of a lower cost car. For the same reason, did not use LED running lights. Thus, the body of the Lada Vesta has retained its classic elegance.
With the colors of the body, too, they decided not to go along the beaten track - at the plant almost the whole spectrum is represented. You can order some special colors. In general, the appearance of Vesta does not indicate anything about her belonging to the Lada series in our usual sense.
Salon and interior of Lada Vesta
When landing in the Lthere is Vesta's saloon, you immediately pay attention to the new design of the door handles - now there are no unnecessary problems, the door opens with one easy movement. With seals on the doors, too, did not understand immediately. I had to spend a lot of testing and eliminate a huge number of shortcomings before the seals began to give a good level of noise insulation and cabin tightness.
The steering column and the panel around it first of all pleases the eye. Everything is so interestingly located that driving and additional functions becomes intuitive at first glance, despite their abundance.
On the central panel of the Lada Vesta are placed connectors for the USB flash drive and phone.
On the steering wheel in a luxury package you can see the audio and cruise control units. The light control is hidden on the left under the steering wheel, in the same place, but on the right, is the wiper control lever. Provides a function of vertical fixing wipers for easy replacement. They clear most of the windshield and provide a good overview.
The breeders have equipped the driver's seat with the possibility of adjustment not only back and forth, but also in height. This is the first of the Lad, in which it is possible to adjust the seats in two dimensions.
Vesta steering column is also adjustable in height and length, which allows you to fully ergonomically adjust the driver's seat. Among the shortcomings: in a certain position, the steering wheel rim can cover the sensors, but there is such a problem in many foreign cars.

Salon Lada Vesta not only equipped with additional features, but also thoroughly worked on its convenience for passengers and the driver. We started with the simplest - expanding the cabin area. Improved design of the seats and head restraints, now they support the lower back and head anatomically correctly, making it difficult to develop diseases typical of people with a sedentary lifestyle.
Electronic control in the Lada Vesta generally works wonders - sometimes it seems that with a slight turn of the lever in this car you can control literally everything!
In particular, driver's life is facilitated by electric heated seats and a windshield, electronic control of the side mirrors, an integrated navigator, and much more.
As a result, the comfort of the cabin pleases even on long journeys - the body is not numb, no need to make masses of extra gestures, everything is at hand. Interior trim in Vesta is selected by the client, but only from the fabric.
Technical Equipment - Management and Security
The technical equipment of the Lada Vesta also provides some chips designed to make life easier for the driver. The first time a little scary two-second pause between the ignition and the starter, but this is done to prevent failures at the start. The gearbox is installed in a highly adapted version, mainly because of our roads. This can be seen in a slightly stretched shift point. But this function provides a more comfortable transition to the new mode.
Of course, Vesta is not as smooth as foreign cars. But it keeps the speed well, specially designed racks are configured to absorb the average stiffness, and the chassis makes it as close as possible to foreign options. Machine unquestioningly obey the slightest commands.
On the Lada Veste, a special system is installed to help with starting on the ascent. Now you can not be afraid that it will stall in such a case, no problems are foreseen even when reversing. By the way, in this case, the breeders installed side and salon mirror of a larger area.
In the configuration with an automatic transmission there is a manual mode. Even with the inclusion of this mode, the "robot" will change gears at the right time, if the driver forgets to do it yourself. In case of bad weather there are some tricks - rain sensors, anti-slip system and more.
The safety of passengers was very thorough. The doors are automatically locked when the driver starts the car, the rear doors are protected from children. The layout of the airbags has been thought out - each passenger has its own, and you can also order side ones.
During the development period of Lada Vesta, more than 150 virtual crash tests and several dozen real ones were conducted. We checked all the nuances, conducted side and frontal collisions in all modifications, and got the expected result. In the final crash test, the Comfort version of the car was tested, which, in terms of safety, is practically the same as other models. The test was carried out by oblique collision with a deformable object at a speed of 65 km / h. Following the crash test, Lada Vesta received 4 stars. It has overtaken many popular models in terms of safety and created the first precedent of a domestic-made safe machine.
По окончанию тест драйва можно подвести итоги. Lthere is Vesta обладает повышенными техническими характеристиками, комфортным салоном, удобным управлением, продуманной панелью, полным набором вспомогательных систем, а также защитой безопасности высокого качества.

Choice of used car
When buying a used Lthere is Vesta, you need to pay attention to the windshield of the car - poor quality wipers often scratch it. With frequent use under adverse weather conditions, paint and varnish on the bumpers just peel off. Squeaks can occur in the cabin due to the discrepancy of plastic parts, the rear door trim can fly off, because there are often sebutiny children sitting there. It is necessary to check the fit of the seals on the glass of the doors, if improperly reinstalled, they can scratch the glass, or vice versa, lag behind, from which a characteristic slit appears.
From the driving characteristics of the car, first of all, it is necessary to carry out electronic diagnostics of the automatic transmission and control system. Manual gearbox should not have problems with shifting. From the serial shortcomings of the Lada Vesta, only weak stabilizer bars can be indicated, they usually require replacement a little more often.
Sales of new versions of Lada Vesta
In the new Vesta, the designers decided to refine what, in their opinion, is lacking in the sedan. For example, the armrest will be much wider and it will also appear between the rear seats. A trunk is not just a container for things, it came up with a variety of departments. There are a lot of rumors around new types of Vesta, but the developers constantly feed the intrigue, giving out information in small portions. It was originally planned that the first batch will leave the assembly lines only in 2018, but then, quite unexpectedly in the middle of summer, it was announced that the first production batch had already been released.
And at the end of the year, the Lada Vesta wagon and cross will be sold. The price of the new Lada Vesta will spin about 600 thousand rubles, however, there are also plans for several complete sets. Appearance and characteristics are almost completely borrowed from the sedan, varies, in fact, only the shape of the body.
The creators of Lada Vesta took into account the success of their offspring and are actively developing this area. Many developments are currently being tested and we will be able to see them in the series of the next years. Still, a reliable domestic car that can enter the world market is something new!
