Automobile giant AvtoVAZ is preparing to return Euro-5 environmental standards to its vehicles, starting from September 1, 2023. This decision was motivated by a temporary transition to Euro-2 standard in 2022 due to sanction constraints. The transition back to Euro-5 has become feasible as the development of new calibrations and engine control units is now carried out in Russia.
The transition will begin with the LADA Granta model, which will be equipped with engines compliant with Euro-5 norms. The new standards will apply to all versions of LADA Granta, including sedan, liftback, Cross and Drive Active. The choice will be between two engine modifications - 90 hp and 106 hp.
The cars have undergone a full cycle of tests under various temperatures, mountain tests, electromagnetic compatibility tests, etc.

The recommended retail price for LADA Granta cars with a 90 hp engine, compliant with Euro-5 norms, starts from 784,900 rubles, and the model with a 106 hp engine will cost from 925,900 rubles. It should be noted that the basic, localized and affordable Granta configuration remains at a price of less than 700,000 rubles.
Updates to the Euro-5 standard on other LADA models have not yet been reported.
