Дождались: АвтоВАЗ начал поставки LADA Vesta с новой 6-ступенчатой механикой

Dealers have started receiving LADA Vesta vehicles with a new 6-speed manual transmission developed in collaboration with the Chinese company WLY

AvtoVAZ has begun delivering LADA Vesta cars with a new 6-speed manual gearbox to official dealers, according to insiders.

At the end of January, the first production models of this car with the new transmission, developed in collaboration with the Chinese company WLY (WanLiYang), which previously supplied CVTs for LADA Vesta, rolled off the assembly line. The gearbox is designed for a torque of up to 220 N·m, which exceeds the performance of the 1.8 EVO engine (122 hp and 170 N·m) with which it is paired.

Before being launched into mass production, the power unit underwent a full cycle of laboratory and road tests. 50 prototypes were manufactured, which collectively covered more than 300,000 km on test benches and 150,000 km in real-world conditions.

The new 6-speed manual gearbox will be installed on all LADA Vesta body types, including sedan, station wagon, and their Cross versions. In the future, this transmission may also appear on other LADA models.
