Dimensional Lada Vesta dimensions Recently they have ceased to be a secret. The manufacturer has released data on the body dimensions of the Lada Vesta sedan. The length of the car is 4410 mm, width 1764 mm, height 1497 mm. It is worth noting that the length of Vesta in a hatchback body is also known - 4250 mm. The Vesta station wagon will have almost the same length as the sedan.
As for the ground clearance of the Lada Vesta , this figure will be 178 mm , that is, the ground clearance of the Lada Vesta will be almost 18 centimeters. Some parquet crossovers may envy this indicator.
The trunk volume of the Lada Vesta sedan, according to the manufacturer, will be equal to 480 liters . Naturally, in a hatchback body this volume will be reduced, but the station wagon will delight us with its increased capacity.
Now let's talk about the space in the Lada Vesta cabin. The wheelbase, that is, the distance from the front to the rear axle, will be 2635 mm, which is quite good. If we compare it with the same Granta or Kalina, then the base there is only 2476 mm. That is, the interior is 159 mm or 16 centimeters longer. In any case, there is more internal space, because the width is also 6.5 centimeters larger. I would also like these dimensions to have competent ergonomics, then the Lada Vesta can be recommended as a family car. In terms of dimensions, this is a full-fledged “C” class car; let’s remember Kalina and Granta are of a lower class – “B” class.
Dimensions of Lada Vesta sedan
- Length – 4410 mm
- Width – 1764 mm
- Height – 1497 mm
- Front overhang – 860 mm
- Rear overhang – 915 mm
- Base, distance between front and rear axle – 2635 mm
- Front and rear wheel track – 1510/1510 mm, respectively
- Trunk volume – 480 liters
- Curb weight – 1150-1195 kg
- Gross weight – 1625-1670 kg
- Fuel tank volume – 50 liters
- Vesta ground clearance – 178 mm
By the way, the not very large luggage volume of the Vesta sedan is apparently due to the presence of a full-size spare wheel under the trunk floor. The trunk volume of the Vesta Cross will be significantly larger.
Comparison with other models
The overall dimensions of the Lada Vesta consist of several parameters. The length of the Lada Vesta is 441 cm, which allows it to have sufficient space inside the car. The width of the Lada Vesta is also greater than that of other VAZ models. Thanks to this, passengers and the driver do not feel pinched in the shoulders. To really evaluate the advantages of the new sedan, it is enough to compare it with other domestic cars produced today by the AvtoVAZ plant:
| Options | Vesta | Kalina | Priora | Granta |
| Height, mm | 1497 | 1500 | 1420 | 1500 |
| Ground clearance, mm | 17.1 | 16.5 | 16.5 | 16 |
| Length, mm | 4410 | 4040 | 4350 | 4260 |
| Width, mm | 1764 | 1700 | 1680 | 1700 |
| Wheelbase, mm | 2634 | 2470 | 2492 | 2476 |
| Curb weight, kg | 1170 | 1090 | 1090 | 1075 |
| Maximum permissible weight, kg | 1650 | 1560 | 1580 | 1560 |
| Luggage compartment volume, l | 450 | 400 | 430 | 480 |
| Gas tank volume, l | 55 | 50 | 45 | 50 |
In almost all respects, the dimensions of the Lada Vesta exceed those of its closest “relatives”. Compared to foreign cars, the new product from VAZ also looks appropriate. Its most popular competitors cannot boast of spaciousness inside:
| Main parameters in mm | Length | Width | Wheelbase | Ground clearance |
| Hyuindai Solaris | 4370 | 1700 | 2570 | 160 |
| Renault Logan | 4345 | 1732 | 2635 | 156 |
| Kia Rio | 4370 | 1700 | 2570 | 160 |
| Lada Vesta | 4410 | 1764 | 2635 | 171 |
According to the table, it can be seen that the ground clearance of AvtoVAZ’s new product is greater than that of foreign competitors, which means that the domestic car is more adapted to different types of road surfaces, including light off-road conditions.
Ground clearance has three meanings:
- for an unloaded (empty) car;
- for a car with passengers;
- for the option with passengers and cargo in the trunk.
In the vehicle data, the clearance corresponding to the first case is most often indicated.
Other options
In addition to the above parameters, the following important ones can be noted, which Lada Vesta owners will probably need sooner or later:
- The steering column is adjustable for reach and installation angle.
- A 3-spoke steering wheel, convenient for long driving, with radio and cruise control buttons located on it (in some trim levels) is installed.
- The size of the steering wheel - its diameter on the Lada Vesta is 38-40 cm.
Wiper size
- driver's side brush size – 600 mm;
- The size of the brushes on the passenger side is 450 mm.
However, glass cleaning results can be improved by installing larger windshield wipers. Longer blades will allow you to increase the cleaning area of the windshield.
For example, you can easily replace the driver’s brush with 610mm or the passenger’s with 480mm.
AvtoVAZ has provided 2 standard radios for installation on the Lada Vesta: a 4.3" monochrome display and a 7" color touch screen with a standard 1 DIN size - 178x50mm. However, the manufacturer took care of the possibility of installing a 2 DIN radio with a size of 178x100mm. To do this, you need to purchase a special transition frame.
The size of the opening of the radio frame is 173.5 x 98 mm, this must be taken into account when choosing the size of the radio. The depth of the receiver that can be pushed into the socket should not be more than 140mm, otherwise it will rest closely against the container located in the dashboard.
Interior dimensions
Dimensions of the Lada Vesta The solid size of the body of the Lada Vesta accommodates an equally spacious interior.
Five average-sized people can fit inside the car. The decent height of the Lada Vesta made it possible to increase the space between the seat cushions and the ceiling. Getting into the car is carried out at a comfortable level and there is no risk of hitting your head on the edges of the doorway. The distance from the rear wall of the front seat to the rear passenger's feet is more than 200 mm. A passenger up to 190 cm tall will not rest his knees on the back of the seat in front. The length of the front seat cushions and the rear sofa reaches 45 and 48 cm, respectively. The width of the cabin allows for comfortable seating of three passengers on the sofa in the back. These interior dimensions are close in value to the parameters of class C cars.
Benefits of the luggage compartment
The trunk of the Lada Vesta is also not inferior in terms of useful space to its “classmates”. The shapes of the body parts of the rear of the car form a wide opening in the luggage compartment. Its main parameters:
- height – 57 cm;
- length – 96 cm;
- length with the backrests of the rear sofa folded – 1.65 m;
- width – 1.4 m;
- loading height – 71.5 cm;
- volume – 450 liters, if the seats are folded – 1100 liters.
The dimensions of the sedan meet all the requirements and needs of most people, since it can easily fit the whole family or a group of friends, as well as quite large luggage. With the rear seats folded down, you can transport long and large items in the car, and the car’s solid carrying capacity will allow you to save a lot on the delivery of non-standard and heavy cargo.
Serial production of the compact Lada Vesta sedan, designed to replace the bestseller of the last decade, Lada Priora, was launched in 2015. British specialist Steve Mattin worked on the design of the new product, who managed to give the car a truly competitive appearance.

However, buyers of cars of this class pay attention not only to visual appeal, but also to practicality and functionality, which are largely determined by the dimensions of the vehicle. In this regard, Vesta is also at its best, since it surpasses in basic parameters not only domestic models, but also most competitors in its class.
Engines
The main power plant is a 16-valve 1.6-liter engine. and a power of 106 hp. under the index 21129. It has 4 cylinders arranged in a row, as well as an electronic fuel injection system. Maximum torque is 148 Nm at 4,200 rpm.

Both engines from AVTOVAZ can run on both AI95 and AI92 gasoline, which sets them apart from their competitors, which manufacturers recommend using only AI95.
Previously, it was assumed that the new product would receive a power plant from the Renault-Nissan Alliance as another engine, but in the wake of import substitution, as well as due to the high cost of the HR16DE-H4M engine, it was abandoned.

↑ Body characteristics and dimensions
In the manufacture of the body of the new Lada, exclusively high-strength steel alloys are used; it was decided to do without aluminum and other expensive materials, which are popular in the modern automotive industry. This approach made it possible to offer one of the most competitive prices in class B+ in comparison with foreign models, as well as to make the body as rigid and safe as possible, with a minimum of vibrations and extraneous noise.
When producing Vesta, AvtoVAZ uses new design technologies and the selective inclusion of high-strength special alloys in the body structure. Thanks to this, it is possible to avoid deviations in the geometry and dimensions of the body, prevent door skewing, and ensure good handling.
Initially, it was planned that the new model would replace the Priora in the VAZ line, although in all respects the new model is superior to the Tolyatti bestseller.
Main dimensions of Lada Vesta, meters:
- height – 1.497;
- body length – 4.41;
- wheelbase - 2.635;
- body width – 1.764;
- front track width – 1.5;
- rear track width - 1.51;
- turning radius – 5.2;
- aerodynamic drag coefficient – 0.82;
- ground clearance - 0.171.
AvtoVAZ specialists, when designing the overall dimensions of the Lada Vesta, were guided by its subsequent operation in domestic conditions, so the car is ideal for traveling on Russian roads. For example, thanks to the increased wheelbase, the car has excellent directional stability and controllability even on uneven road surfaces. A sufficiently high ground clearance makes it possible to overcome difficult sections of the road that many competitors cannot overcome.
Conclusions of experts on the model
First of all, it should be noted that this is the first VAZ product, the design of which was designed by Steve Mattin. This is a Russian car, which for the first time competed with imported cars with its external characteristics and, of course, its size.
Secondly, a lot of attention was paid to car safety. The body is made safer and more rigid, thanks to new design technologies, as well as the targeted use of high-strength alloys. The innovation guarantees improved handling. Light weight is absolutely justifiably sacrificed to increase the safety level of Vesta.
Thus, Lada Vesta brought the domestic auto industry to a new level, which allowed Lada to fight for leadership with foreign competitors. The car has solid, convenient dimensions with relatively light weight. Plus, good aerodynamics and a higher level of safety for the driver and passengers.
↑ Comparison of dimensions with other cars in this class
When developing the Lada Vesta, the designers of the Togliatti automaker took into account the dimensions of the main competing models of other brands, and managed to surpass them in all key parameters.
| Model name | Body length, m | Wheelbase size, m | Body width, m | Ground clearance, m |
| Lada Vesta | 4,41 | 2,635 | 1,764 | 0,171 |
| Volkswagen Polo | 4,384 | 2,552 | 1,699 | 0,17 |
| Hyundai Solaris/Kia Rio | 4,37 | 2,57 | 1,7 | 0,16 |
| Renault Logan | 4,346 | 2,634 | 1,735 | 0,155 |
| Ford Fiesta | 4,32 | 2,489 | 1,722 | 0,167 |
In comparison with other B-class sedans presented on the domestic market and located in approximately the same price category as the VAZ model, Vesta is longer, taller, wider and has greater ground clearance. The increased dimensions of the body have a positive effect on its performance characteristics and convenience in everyday trips.

↑ Interior and luggage compartment dimensions
The new platform used to create the sedan made it possible to make the car not only larger, but also more comfortable. The Lada Vesta's interior dimensions are also very impressive: there is much more free space for both the driver and passengers than in previous Lada models.
Main interior dimensions, meters:
- the distance between the driver's seat cushion and the ceiling is 0.93-0.99;
- distance between the rear passenger seat cushion and the ceiling – 0.885;
- free space between the back of the front seat and the legs of the passenger sitting behind – 0.226;
- front seat cushion length – 0.45;
- rear seat cushion length – 0.48.
Taking into account the specifics of operating budget sedans in our country, which involves the periodic transportation of certain cargoes, the designers made sure that Vesta received a fairly spacious trunk.
Main dimensions of the cargo compartment, meters:
- height – 0.573;
- length - 0.962 (1.675, if the rear seat backs are folded);
- width max./min. – 1.424/1.033;
- loading height – 0.717.
The useful volume of the trunk is about 480 liters, and it can accommodate cargo weighing up to 400 kilograms.
Thus, AvtoVAZ specialists managed to design not only an attractive and reliable car, but also a very practical, convenient and functional one, maximally oriented towards the average Russian driver with an average income.
