Lada Aura Allowed to Operate as a Taxi in "Economy", "Comfort" Classes, and "Comfort Plus" in Regions

The model will be available in Yandex Taxi from April 8, 2025

From April 8, 2025, Lada Aura will be available for work in Yandex Taxi. This car, which is an extended version of the Lada Vesta, can now fulfill orders in the "Economy", "Comfort", and "Comfort Plus" classes in most major cities. However, in Moscow and St. Petersburg, Lada Aura is not suitable for the "Comfort Plus" class.

Lada Aura is a premium Russian-made sedan with improved design and equipment. It is equipped with a 1.8-liter engine with 122 hp and a Chinese WLY variator. This model was introduced as a flagship of the lineup and went on sale in late 2024 with a price of 2.6 to 2.8 million rubles. However, demand for it remains low, and in the first three months of 2025, about 300 cars were registered, of which 90% were purchased by legal entities.

Lada Aura can now be used as a taxi in the Yandex Taxi service at updated rates, making the model available to a wider range of passengers.
