AvtoVAZ dealers have begun stocking Lada Granta Club models equipped with a fresh set of options, according to a public post from Avtograd News on VKontakte. The notice states that dealers are now offering the Granta Club with the Enjoy multimedia system, rear parking sensors, air conditioning, a heated windshield and front seats, and metallic paint options. This move signals a step toward expanding the feature list for the Granta Club lineup and indicates a broader push to refresh the model with modern conveniences that appeal to current buyers.
Industry watchers noted that AvtoVAZ had hinted in January 2024 that such enhancements would be added to the Club equipment and that these models would move into mass production soon. The timing suggested a purposeful update to meet evolving consumer expectations and align with market trends favoring connected tech and comfort features in compact sedans.
Earlier communications revealed that AvtoVAZ had prepared an anti-sanctions version of the Granta, a variant designed with a leaner equipment package. This version reportedly omitted several interior and comfort items, including plastic sill linings, a seal on the lower door flange, a hood seal, lighting for the glove compartment and trunk, a built-in trunk closing handle, and even some convenience features typically found in the trunk area. In addition, the trunk release button had been relocated to the instrument panel, and the configuration did not include power steering, airbags, or air conditioning. These contrasts illustrate how models can be adapted for different market or regulatory considerations while maintaining core driving capabilities.
There has also been prior discussion about AvtoVAZ’s broader production plans. It was stated that preparations were underway for the serial production of a new model named Lada Iskra. The Iskra project represented another channel through which the company signaled ongoing product development and a commitment to expanding its lineup in response to market dynamics. Observers will be watching to see how these strategic moves influence dealer inventory, pricing, and customer choice as the year progresses. Overall, the current developments around the Granta Club and the Iskra program suggest a continued effort to refresh and diversify AvtoVAZ’s offerings for buyers in regional markets and beyond without compromising core value propositions that have defined the brand for many years.
