The Lada Azimut crossover has passed another stage of testing at the AvtoVAZ laboratory testing complex as part of preparations for state certification and production. This was reported by the press service of the auto giant.
According to the test results, LADA Azimut showed a high level of reliability and adaptation to the roads and climate of Russia.
During climatic tests, the car was exposed to high and low temperatures — from +60 to -50°C and humidity from 25% to 95%. Lada engineers calibrated the Lada Azimut power unit for reliable engine starting in harsh winter conditions.
Then they placed the crossover in a salt spray chamber, simulating many years of all-season operation. The car withstood a chemically aggressive environment and vapors with reagents, confirming a high level of corrosion resistance.
Experts checked the tightness of the crossover body. To do this, it was placed on a special platform in a rain chamber. Lada Azimut was tilted at different angles to approximate realistic conditions. Tests have proven that the interior is reliably protected from moisture.
