On April 22, 2026, AvtoVAZ filed an application with Rospatent to register the new Lada PHEV 4WD trademark. The designation directly indicates the technical makeup of the future model.
PHEV is a plug-in hybrid with an internal combustion engine and an electric motor charged from a power outlet. 4WD means all-wheel drive.
The new model is being created on the basis of the new Lada Azimut crossover. AvtoVAZ President Maksim Sokolov previously confirmed the development of a hybrid version. A pilot prototype will be shown as early as Q3 2026.
The powertrain will produce 290 kW, acceleration to 100 km/h will take 5.7 seconds, and the cruising range without refueling will reach 1,100 km.
Earlier, AvtoVAZ launched a long-term subscription program for Lada cars — "Lada Legko." It allows customers to use a new car under rental terms with a fixed monthly payment.
