AvtoVAZ continues to intensively test its new Lada Iskra car. The new car, awaiting the start of production, was captured on camera near the company's factory. An insider from the Telegram channel "Avtopotok" published photos of a working prototype, allowing the model to be seen in detail for the first time.
Lada Iskra is being developed on the basis of the localized French CMF-B LS platform from Renault-Nissan. The right to use this platform was included in the business restructuring plan of the foreign company, developed during its withdrawal from the Russian market. AvtoVAZ specialists will equip Lada Iskra with variable bodies, including a sedan, station wagon and cross-station wagon, and will also equip it with a Chinese variator, the same as the Lada Vesta NG.
In the new car, buyers will be offered 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engines with 90 and 106 hp, as well as 1.8-liter engines with 122 hp.
Speaking at SPIEF-2023, AvtoVAZ Director Maxim Sokolov said that mass production of Lada Iskra will start at the end of 2024, and sales are scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2025. While Iskra will gradually replace Granta, the latter is planned to be phased out by 2026-2027.
