Two years ago, manufacturers of domestic Lada cars presented to the masses a new, improved model - Vesta Signatures. A special feature of the vehicle is the increased length of the body. Previously, AvtoVAZ had already produced a car of this type - Priora. It was assembled in a limited edition and was not further produced on a large scale. Vesta Long was developed by designers specifically for the head of the automobile concern.
The long wheelbase gives a great advantage in comfort - it is like a ship, but at the same time, due to the modified suspension, it is agile.
The extended version of the Lada Vesta signature is practically no different from other Vesta models if you evaluate it from a front angle. When viewed from other angles, the differences are obvious. Widened rear entrance door opening, visually larger luggage compartment. The improved alloy wheels are striking, making the Lada Vesta signature (long) model exclusive and presentable.
It should be noted that the changed appearance due to the long base is not the only feature of the West signatures. Technical characteristics, improved interior space are also made with high quality. In all respects, AvtoVAZ’s new product can compete with foreign cars.
To get an idea of the extended version, check out the Lada vesta signature review.
Chassis and ground clearance
The front suspension of the Lada vesta signature does not differ in structure and characteristics from the standard version of the car. The difference lies in the additional locking mechanisms, the need for which arose due to the increase in the scale of the body. The Lada Vesta Signature is also equipped with an electric power steering wheel. Due to the increase in weight of the Vesta Signature fret, the rear suspension was significantly changed. The braking system includes ventilated brake pads for the front suspension and drums for the rear suspension.
The suspension is adapted to travel on the roads of our country, which do not differ in the quality of the road surface. The extended version of the car has become even more flexible and maneuverable by reducing the length of the steering rack. The number of revolutions decreased to 2.8.
Vesta long is equipped with a set of electronic devices familiar to a car: directional stability, a recoil device and an anti-slip system while driving. The ground clearance of the signatures is 181 mm, which is quite high. Ground clearance of this level allows you to drive the extended version not only on city highways with high-quality road surfaces, but also on country roads.
The front and rear wheelbase track is 1535 mm. The gap between the front and rear axles is 2886 mm. Tire size 205-15 R17.
Extended Lada Vesta
November 13, 2015
The launch of the Lada Vesta C series, an extended version of the model, is planned for 2022 in Izhevsk. Although IzhAvto itself has not yet commented on this information.
New LADA Vesta Singature
During the next visit of representatives of the Samara region administration to AvtoVAZ, they were presented with new models of the concern. Thus, Sergei Chaban, who holds the post of chief inspector (federal) for the region, as well as Sergei Bezrukov, who is the minister of industry at the provincial level, in addition to standard new products and the serial Vesta, also saw AvtoVAZ concept cars. It was a Lada Vesta Cross model. The guests were also shown the latest development – LADA Vesta Singature.
The serial Lada Vesta is one of the cars shown to government officials.
Options
This modification is a Vesta that guarantees passengers the maximum level of comfort. This is ensured by a significant increase in the body – 250 mm. Moreover, almost all of this space (200 mm) is given to the legs of the rear passengers. In addition, this Vesta can boast of luxurious finishing, for which only luxury materials were used. The rear sofa, front seats, door cards, interior elements, steering wheel, gear lever - all this is made of high-quality leather with a very unique color scheme. The ceiling is made of Alcanatara suede.
The guests clearly liked the finish of the new Vesta modification.
The climate system is still standard for Vesta, but management is already considering options for improving it. The ultimate goal is full, 2-zone climate control.
The photo clearly shows a 250 mm increase in the length of Vesta’s body.
The engine is also simple for now - a 106-horsepower 16-valve VAZ engine with a volume of 1.6 liters, paired with an AMT-type robotic gearbox. However, AvtoVAZ is already considering the need to equip it with more powerful power units.
For now, the engine on Vesta Signech is the same - a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated 106 hp. With.

What kind of gas tank does she have?
The fuel tank of the model is no different from a regular Vesta. It has a volume of 55 liters. A new solution at AvtoVAZ: a characteristic feature of the signatures is that the fuel tank lid is opened by pressing a key in the car’s interior.
Engine characteristics, fuel consumption

It is worth noting that the Lada Vesta signature engine is equipped with a sixteen-valve timing device and a systematized control device for gas distribution cycles.
Does Lada Vesta Signature have a future?
Lada Vesta body colors
Most likely there is. The car already has a well-tested base in the form of a stock Lada Vesta. This sedan has already fallen in love with Russians and is beginning its advance both to the West and to the East. AvtoVAZ has created an excellent basis for the production of new inexpensive models, this is confirmed by numerous positive reviews from car owners. As you know, the basic equipment of Vesta costs from 514 thousand rubles. The maximum configuration costs 658 thousand. The cars are equipped with two 1.6 liter engines and a power of 106 to 114 hp. With. The updated models will be equipped with an engine of AvtoVAZ’s own production, which has a volume of 1.8 liters and a power of 123 hp. With. Transmissions include a five-speed manual transmission and an AMT robot.
A domestic limousine could become another impetus that gradually promotes the products of the Tolyatti plant to the coveted European markets. If officials start switching from foreign models to Russian ones, then the manufacturer will not need better advertising.
Appearance
The Vesta Signature fret base has been increased to 2886 mm (+250 mm). Due to the fact that the model was stretched, it became respectable, outwardly similar to a foreign foreign car.
| Characteristic | Meaning |
| Overall body length | 4661 mm |
| Width | 1765 mm |
| Height | 1497 mm |
| Car weight | 1370 kg |
| Loaded weight | 1775 kg |
Front and rear, in the area of the trunk lid and bumper, the Lada has remained virtually unchanged.
Colors: The car is available in two colors: black and brown. By lengthening the body, the rear doorway and space for rear passengers of the Lada Vesta have significantly increased. The spacious rear door is visible to the naked eye. Another new solution for VAZ is the absence of strips on the door glass. In this regard, the window lifting device has been completely redesigned; it has not previously been used in any other models of domestic cars. The manufacturer's designers improved the appearance of the car with the help of alloy wheels. They complement the image and make it more perfect.
The issue of sound insulation has reached a new level and in this case the sound insulation has been improved. AvtoVAZ took care of the comfort of the potential owner of the Lada Vesta Long and its passengers and made additional, reliable lining of the inner surface of the body. The new variation of the car is equipped with an antenna in the shape of a shark fin, like a BMW. A special highlight to the image and design of the extended version of the car is the chrome trim along the bottom of the door. Such stripes emphasize the elegance of the model and the exclusivity of the image.
Exterior
At the first glance at this model, it immediately becomes clear that the updated Lada Vesta is nothing more than a continuation of the new series of X-RAY cars. This is evidenced by several characteristic features. The first is the radiator grille, made in the form of a large letter “X”, and the second – looking at the car from the side, you can see that its streamlining is made in such a way as to create a pattern, also in the form of the letter “X”.
Externally, the car looks quite solid and aggressive. The front bumper has two chrome inserts that emphasize its representative style. Also, the front bumper has built-in fog lights. The head optics also look quite modern and are a one-piece headlamp.
In the extended version - Lada vesta signature, the rear door is noticeably lengthened. Initially, this idea was made in order to give the car the appearance of a limousine. The spacious, wide rear window fits perfectly into the overall design of the car and looks quite representative.
From the rear, this car has a rather aggressive appearance, which is achieved due to the neon dimensions of the rear lighting, made in the form of halves of the letter “X”. In the middle of the trunk lid, in chrome letters, the name of the car is stamped - LADA. The rear bumper is made strictly, and without any excesses.
Another feature of the updated version, called Signature, is the presence of factory titanium wheels made in the style of a 5-pointed star, each face of which is divided into two neat parts. This style gives maximum aggressiveness and solidity.
Supposedly: Price of the new version of Lada Vesta
The cost depends on the model configuration. Considering all the advantages and the new image, we can assume that the extended version of the Lada Vesta Signatures will not be a budget car. Presumably, the starting price of the car will be from 850,000 Russian rubles.
In addition to the standard set of functions, the buyer can include the following functions in the vehicle equipment:
- heated front and rear rows of seats;
- choice of leather colors for interior trim;
- on-board computer;
- a set of entertainment devices;
- on-board computer;
- acoustic system.
Note that such a high starting price is due to the fact that the production of Lada Vesta Signatures has not been put on the assembly line. The car will be assembled by the manufacturer according to personal requests. The equipment is also selected according to the buyer's requirements.
Specifications
Global changes in the Lada vesta signature affected mainly only the body. The width of the car remained the same - 176.4 cm, as well as the height - 149.7 cm. But as for the length, instead of the usual 441 cm for the Lada Vesta, it now reaches 466 centimeters, and visually looks much more attractive than previous version.
There is also much more space in the “Lada for the Rich” cabin. Now, sitting in the back seat, you can imagine that this car is of an executive class. Although, given its original purpose, to be the official car of the director of AvtoVAZ, this is probably true.
The rear row of seats has plenty of legroom, as befits such a model.
The technical characteristics of the extended Lada Vesta car remained virtually unchanged. For example, the luggage compartment, despite the increase in the body, remains the same size - 480 liters. But this does not at all prevent it from being the most spacious in its class.
The weight of the updated Lada vesta signature is slightly greater than that of the original version and is equal to 1210 kilograms. The load capacity remains absolutely the same – 487 kg. This version, unlike the stock one, does not have the ability to connect a trailer.
The technical characteristics of the Lada Vesta engine are taken from the VAZ 21127 configuration, with a volume of 1.6 liters and a rated power of 106 horses. Such a motor is capable of accelerating the car to 100 km/h in just 12.8 seconds, and the maximum speed that can be reached is 178 km/h.
interior of the new model
Since the updated Lada Vesta Signature is a luxury car, it is equipped with an exclusively automatic transmission. It has 5 stages, and responds quite smoothly and quickly to the driver’s commands. When changing gears, the car does not twitch at all, and the shift itself is almost unnoticeable.
That is, the technical characteristics of the Lada vesta signature remained the same as on its predecessor in 2015.
Photos of the salon
Looking at the photo of the interior of the extended version, I can’t believe that this is a Russian car. The interior space has undergone changes. Instead of a standard sofa for rear passengers, there are seats for two people. The seats are separated by a massive armrest with a control panel. It contains keys for turning on the lighting, a USB connector for charging gadgets, heated seats, and niches for glasses. They also have an ashtray and a cigarette lighter. At the request of the customer, control keys for the acoustic system and climate control are displayed on the panel. The legroom for rear passengers is increased by 20 cm, the space from the seats to the ceiling is increased by 15.
The front panel is trimmed with decorative chrome elements. The same elements are present on the inner surface of the doors. This detail makes the interior of the interior colorful and respectable.
Another feature is the leather seat trim.
Where does this price come from and the start of sales?
Manufacturers of Lada Vesta signatures do not name the cost. The price of the car will depend on the configuration, since the car is assembled according to individual orders. The starting price of the extended version is 850,000 – 900,000 Russian rubles. In 2016, the plant assembled only about 10-12 cars for individual orders. The management of the automobile concern stated that demand for the model will increase production volumes. Specific dates are not discussed or named. At the beginning of this year, the proposal to use the Lada Signatur as a company car for officials and senior management was dropped. Perhaps, with the expansion of production, the color range of domestic vehicles will expand.
