The novelty from "AvtoVAZ" called "Lada Vesta NG" did not become a supercar with maximum Russian localization.

 It turned out that instead of French parts, which were in "Lada Vesta", new generation of "Lada Vesta NG" got parts from China.

So, they left the automatic gearbox with a five-speed manual the same. But it is known that a Chinese variator will replace it, the manufacturer's company is not named.

The replacement means that "Lada Vesta NG" will have higher efficiency, lower fuel consumption, smoothness of movement, and rapid acceleration. But the variator wears out faster than an automatic gearbox.

However, brake pads, also from China, will wear out faster. Now, due to a design change of the front calipers and brake pads, the latter has a larger contact area with the disk.

And the thickness of the brake lining of the "Lada Vesta NG" became only 6 mm instead of 12 mm on the "Lada Vesta".

The air conditioner compressor of the new car is also Chinese, as well as entire drive from Chinese "Shandong HUFS Group".

Chinese localization is likely in the future for the clutch kit, engine block cooling unit, and heating unit. They are from the French company Valeo, which has already left Russia. So, these parts will also require either import substitution, which is not yet there, or new foreign partners, the most probable of which is China.

It turned out that even when the maximum configuration is selected, the car lover will have to buy something else on his own. "Lada Vesta NG" Cross version in maximum configuration Techno for almost 2 million rubles, which auto experts disassembled, turned out to be without fog lights and a rear view camera. Their purchase cost 13 thousand rubles.
