Premiere
Before talking in detail about the Lada Vesta car (technical specifications, design, exterior and everything else related to this model will be discussed later), it’s worth noting a couple of words regarding the premiere of this model.

Development technology
It is interesting that the cost of developing this project, in the framework of which the Lada Vesta was created (the technical characteristics of which are really impressive, unlike most of its predecessors), amounted to about six billion rubles. The car turned out to be overall and much more solid. It looks, in any case, better than the same famous and well-known Priora. Initially, the developers planned to establish a value of 400 thousand rubles. Which is pretty little - many used cars are not worth so much now. But then Bu Anderson, the president of AvtoVAZ, said that the cost will be equal to the amount of about 500-550 thousand rubles. Initially, the sedan will go on sale, after which the hatchback will also be launched. Buyers who are residents of the Russian Federation, this car will be offered in several trim levels. To be more precise, there will be four versions of the Lada Vesta car.
