The Lada B-Van minivan is planned to be put on the assembly line in 2027.
A single-volume car on the "Vesta" platform implies a seven-seater interior with a fully functional third row of seats and good access to the "gallery".
AvtoVAZ positions the B-Van as a family car, complementing the Lada Largus.
The relatively fast development is explained by partial unification with the B-Cross crossover: the models may have a common front end, the same suspension, and almost identical front parts of the interior. Mock-ups confirm the commonality in the front mask, but the rear will be almost vertical.
A model of the car was shown to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The final design of the car will be approved within 1.5 months.
