However, the client of an official dealer has much more options to choose from. There are four configurations in total, but each configuration has its own subtypes. It's extremely convenient. If the car is sold by an official Lada dealer, prices and configurations are in strict accordance with each other.

It is worth noting that even in the starting configuration, this Lada Vesta model is equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable trip both around the city and beyond.
Lada Vesta Signature
Lada Vesta Signature The longest car in the VAZ model range was the Signature version for VIP clients.
Initially, the model was developed to equip the fleet of state government agencies at the regional level. The emphasis was placed on comfortable placement of second-row passengers. Having received a body lengthening of 25 cm, the Lada Vesta Signature has remained almost unchanged in appearance. With the naked eye, you can distinguish it from a regular Vesta only from the side by the enlarged rear door. At the back of the car appeared the inscription “Signature”, made in the handwriting of Steve Mattin, the chief designer of the Lada Vesta. The design of the car remains the same. The long version will be equipped with a 122-horsepower engine. The suspension has received minor modifications.
The main changes affected the interior of the new product. The premium sedan of the VAZ model range received new interior finishing materials. Now the seats and steering wheel are trimmed with leather inserts, the ceiling is covered with Alcantara, and the rear sofa has turned into two separate luxurious armchairs, separated by a solid armrest. The climate control and heated seats for second-row passengers are controlled by buttons located on the armrest.

According to preliminary data, the Signature version will be produced to order and cost about 1 million rubles.

An excursion into the history of the creation of Lada Vesta
August 2014 became a significant milestone in the history of LADA Vesta.
It was at this time that the Moscow International Motor Show satisfied public interest and presented a concept car created in the Vercarmodel studio in Turin. At the request of AVTOVAZ, five more samples were made: one LADA Vesta WTCC concept, as well as two XRAY and LADA Vesta concepts each. Two concepts were needed due to the demonstration taking place at the same time in Togliatti. According to AVTOVAZ chief designer Steve Mattin, due to a lack of funds, production models will differ slightly from the presented samples. In the exhibition concept cars offered to the public, the most simplified filling is used, and with the help of various tricks the appearance is embellished.
Who owns the car interior?
The interior design of the LADA Vesta belongs to the talented Tolyatti designer Andrey Bessolitsin, who previously fruitfully worked on the updated Priora and Kalina-2. The control unit for the Vesta climate control system remains the same, from the VAZ.
Innovations include a multifunction steering wheel, instruments in so-called wells, seat upholstery in original material with colored decorative inserts.
The interiors of production cars will be almost identical, differing favorably from the interiors of models of previous years, and a person, once behind the wheel of a LADA Vesta, will, as they say, feel the difference.
The car that is planned to be launched into series and the LADA Vesta concept have similar dimensions. However, not a single production part can be found in the concept. Vesta is intended to become a replacement for Priora, the brainchild of the Lada B project, and will be in the middle of classes B and C.
The Lada Priora and the concept have the same length of 4.35 m, but the LADA Vesta has a wheelbase of 2.65 m, which is 15 cm longer than the Priora.
Julien Droir, who worked for eleven years at the Renault design center and won the competition for Vesta’s exterior, is responsible for the appearance of LADA Vesta. Later, as a more knowledgeable and experienced specialist, he was entrusted with the exterior of the LADA XRAY. Mattin and Drouard did not become participants in the project from the first days of its existence. Before this, the Togliatti team already had good developments of their own and alternative options in favor of the Niva and Renault.
About borrowing
Much of Project C formed the basis of the Vesta platform, but there were also many undeniably successful borrowings, which, by the way, included the rear suspension beam from Renault. Although the LADA Vesta was designed here in Russia, to create the concept it was decided to turn to the well-established Vercarmodel studio, whose designers have distinguished themselves over the past two years with such concepts as the Honda Civic Tourer Concept, Porsche Sport Turismo Concept, SsangYong SIV-I, Kia Provo , Changan CS95, Subaru Viziv Concept, Hyundai i-oniq.
Conclusion
Each concept car is based on completely original technology, based on the use of fake interior parts and body elements. To be specific, the concept is simply a foam plastic dummy mounted on a metal frame with wheels and a power plant in the form of an electric motor, a manual transmission and lead-acid batteries located in the free cavity of the engine box and under the luggage compartment.
Foam body parts are manufactured on five-axis machines according to three-dimensional drawings created using special computer programs.
The basis for creating the seats are seats from other cars, re-covered with foam rubber and covered with leather in order to give the desired shape and appearance.
The front panel consists of a plywood base and a modeling tape applied to it. They give, so to speak, a marketable appearance using a film similar in texture to the imitation material, leather or plastic. And only, perhaps, the glass and wheels can be called real. True, the wheels will also be upgraded. All excess is cut off from them, and then a new appearance is made from the model polymer.
When everything is ready, assembly, adjustment and finishing takes place. The result is so realistic that even an advanced motorist will have a hard time guessing that in front of him is just a mock-up that cannot make you enjoy either the noise of the engine or the intoxicating speed. Yes, this is not required. The purpose of concept cars is to arouse the interest of potential buyers, and we must assume that the LADA Vesta concept does this well.
Specifications [ edit | edit code]
The length of the car exceeds the dimensions of the Priora and is 4.41 m (sedan and station wagon).
The car was created on the Lada B platform, a further processing of the unrealized Lada C project (2006). The design of the car is based on the LADA XRAY concept cars. It is reported that the car received a completely original front suspension with L-shaped arms and new steering knuckles and a 5-degree caster, and steering from Renault Megane. [6] The steering column is adjustable for tilt and reach on all trim levels. Some components, such as the brakes and radiator, are borrowed from Renault-Nissan designs.
The car is equipped with a 1.6 liter VAZ engine (106 hp VAZ-21129) and a 1.8 liter engine (122 hp VAZ-21179). Two transmission options are offered for the car. This is a 5-speed manual transmission and an automated manual transmission (AMT) of Russian design (VAZ 21827) [9]. You can find out which gearbox is on the car by the VIN number of the car: if it has the code GFL13, then the gearbox is Renault, if GFL11, the VAZ “mechanics” VAZ 21807 is installed. Versions with a “robot” have the code GFL12. [10] .
In 2022, LADA Vesta is planned to be equipped with gas-cylinder equipment, which will allow the use of natural gas (methane) compressed to 250 atmospheres as fuel. This version is equally capable of running on both regular gasoline and NG, which significantly expands the capabilities of the car. A pilot batch of gas-powered West and Largus cars of about 300 cars has already been produced (November 2015) and now [ when?
] is undergoing certification [11] .
