AvtoVAZ continues the production of LADA Iskra, but the start of mass production may be postponed to April 2025. Previously, the car was scheduled to start production in early 2025.
Currently, the plant produces pre-production "project vehicles," assembling three cars per day, which amounts to nine cars per week, with days off on other days.
Changes have been implemented in the production process: the use of self-tapping screws has been minimized, and components are mainly attached with plastic clips, brackets, and latches.
Insiders note that the full assembly pace of LADA Iskra will likely begin in April 2025, as the transfer of Granta Sedan production to another assembly line is also planned for this time, which will affect the production schedule.
Thus, if the launch of mass production of LADA Iskra is delayed, it will inevitably affect the sales launch date of the cars. Previously discussed dates—early 2025 or the first quarter—now seem less realistic given the possible postponement to the second quarter.
