AvtoVAZ will equip the new Lada Vesta with a six-speed manual transmission. In a podcast for the official Telegram channel, the company explained what makes the new "mechanics" stand out.

The press service noted that the manual transmission allows the driver to choose a driving style depending on the situation: you can drive economically or, on the contrary, more dynamically.

AvtoVAZ highlighted four key advantages of the new 6-speed gearbox:

  • All gears, including reverse, are equipped with synchronizers, which makes shifting more convenient and smooth
  • Gears are manufactured using modern technologies, which reduces vibration and noise levels, increasing overall comfort in the cabin
  • The first two gears are equipped with three-cone synchronizers instead of two-cone synchronizers. This improves the smoothness and  accuracy of gear changes, as well as increases durability thanks to the carbon coating
  • The gear ratios are selected in such a way that the car accelerates confidently and quickly, without dips and jerks.

The transmission's lifespan is up to 500 thousand km, compared to 400 thousand km for the native VAZ "five-speed".

Earlier www1.ru reported that AvtoVAZ officially announced the start date for mass production of the new Lada Iskra.
