AvtoVAZ is launching the production of Lada Iskra at the plant in St. Petersburg, which previously belonged to Nissan. The company announced on August 26 that the plant will begin receiving car kits for mass production in September.
The plant has already installed new equipment, reconfigured the lines, and trained employees. In the summer, 200 sets of parts were sent from Togliatti to St. Petersburg to test technologies and train personnel. Each set includes about a thousand elements, from the body and engine to the interior and chassis.
Regular deliveries of car kits for all versions of Iskra will start in September – sedan, station wagon, and SW Cross, available in different colors and configurations, with manual and automatic transmissions. The cars assembled in St. Petersburg will be completely identical to the models from Togliatti.
According to plans, up to four thousand cars of the new line will be produced at the "Avtozavod St. Petersburg" by the end of 2025.
