Lada Vesta celebrates anniversary: "Priora" replacement has been rolling off the assembly line for 10 years

On September 25, 2015, the first production Lada Vesta rolled off the assembly line of the Izhevsk Automobile Plant, marking the beginning of a new era for the domestic automotive industry. The model, developed in collaboration with the Renault-Nissan alliance, was positioned as a modern, competitive car capable of competing for buyers in the budget sedan segment. The Vesta featured a bold design, spacious interior and improved handling characteristics.

The car quickly gained popularity due to its combination of affordable price, modern appearance and practicality. The Vesta became one of the best-selling Lada models, strengthening AvtoVAZ's position in the Russian market and abroad.

Over the decade, the Vesta has been repeatedly modernized, receiving new options, engines and body styles. Versions of the Vesta SW (station wagon) and Vesta Cross, adapted for operation in difficult road conditions, appeared. The car was also used in motorsport, participating in Russian and international racing series.

Vesta has become a symbol of the revival of AvtoVAZ and confirmation of the ability of Russian engineers to create competitive cars.

In 2025, a decade after the start of production, the Lada Vesta remains one of the most popular cars in Russia, continuing to write its history and set new standards in the budget car segment.

Earlier www1.ru reported that an analogue of the Geely Monjaro with a "space" design will be localized in Russia: the Avtotor plant is preparing to produce five Changan models.
