The Chinese company FAW refused to cooperate with AvtoVAZ on the production of Lada X-Cross 5. It is known that 50 out of 170 cars were sold. The remaining 120 cars were taken to Tolyatti.

Half of them were refitted with winter tires and provided as company cars to senior management of the plant. According to the source, the remaining Lada X-Cross 5s will not be available for public sale.

The first serial Lada X-Cross 5 rolled off the St. Petersburg assembly line on June 17, 2023. The head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Denis Manturov, stated at the time that the company would continue to localize the car created in cooperation with an Asian partner. According to the press service of AvtoVAZ, the start of sales of Lada X-Cross 5 was scheduled for the third quarter of 2023.
