New information has surfaced about the Lada Iskra model, which is expected to replace several cars in the Russian automaker's lineup. According to a source KhaDm from AvtoVAZ, the new car is based on the Renault CMF-B/XJO platform and is positioned as a universal B-class car with an optimal ratio of price, size, and equipment.
The technical equipment of Lada Iskra includes three engine options:
- a basic 1.6-liter engine with 90 hp, which works in tandem with a manual gearbox;
- two more powerful versions with the same volume, but with a capacity of 106 hp, which can be equipped with both manual and CVT transmissions.
The start of mass production is scheduled for the first quarter of 2025. The model's life cycle is designed for 8 years.
In the car's design, consisting of 1601 parts, 51% are components that were borrowed, 9% are modified, and 40% are new developments.
Sales of the new car will be carried out not only in Russia, but also in the CIS countries and Egypt. It is planned that the average annual production volume will be 132,000 cars.
A new model has appeared in the AvtoVAZ product line, which should replace several cars at once: Lada Xray, Xray Cross, and the basic version of Vesta. The manufacturer positions Iskra as the optimal solution in its segment, focusing on comfort, practicality, and affordability.
The body length is 4333 mm, and the height varies from 1507 to 1517 mm, depending on the body type.
Earlier, the first shots of the pre-production version of Lada Iskra, a new AvtoVAZ model, appeared on the Internet. Judging by the fact that the car has dark tinted glass and a red "Flamenco" color, it was assembled at AvtoVAZ in December for presentation.ideo
As a reminder, AvtoVAZ has started conveyor assembly of Lada Iskra in a new body. This is already the third version of the car in the line, which will be released along with the sedan and the usual station wagon. Lada Iskra will be sold in parallel with Lada Granta, but in the future it will become its successor.
