AvtoVAZ Resumes Production of 2022 Lada Granta Classic with Air Conditioning
AvtoVAZ has quietly restarted production of the 2022 Lada Granta Classic lineup that includes air conditioning, according to the company’s press office. The move signals renewed availability of a model family that remains popular with buyers who value affordable comfort and practical features in a compact sedan.
In an official statement, the manufacturer noted that the Granta models fitted with air conditioning now form roughly four out of five reported sales, underscoring the feature’s ongoing appeal among Canadian and American customers who are accustomed to climate control as a standard expectation in modern cars. The announcement frames air conditioning as a defining option that accompanies the practical Granta package, reinforcing its role in the model’s buyer appeal.
Beyond air conditioning, the Granta Classic package for the 2022 model year adds conveniences such as power windows, an electric drive and heated exterior mirrors, central locking, and an upgraded sound system. The sedan is priced at 597,200 rubles when purchased with the state preferential loan program and starts at 745,900 rubles without that program. This pricing structure aligns with Russia’s automotive incentives while highlighting the model’s affordability when financing support is available. AvtoVAZ press office
For buyers choosing the Granta with air conditioning, the price rises to 613,200 rubles under the state program and 765,900 rubles without it. An optional upgrade includes 15-inch alloy wheels for an added fee. This tiered pricing reflects the competing needs of customers who want enhanced styling or better equipment, while keeping the base Granta accessible in the market. AvtoVAZ press office
The Granta Cross wagon variant can be bought from 650,000 rubles under the state program or from 811,900 rubles without it. This version adds heated front seats, a plastic body kit, and 15-inch wheels, broadening the model range for buyers seeking a hatchback-inspired crossover feel within the Granta family. It’s important to note that not all Granta Classic 2022 configurations include airbags or anti-lock braking systems, so potential buyers should review safety features carefully to ensure they match their preferences and local safety standards.

Industry observers have also noted that AvtoVAZ has signaled ongoing development toward a new Lada model intended to gradually replace the Granta lineup in the future, aligning with broader strategic shifts in product planning. The company’s release suggests a forward-looking approach that balances immediate availability with long-term models that may deliver updated technology and design language. For customers in North America, these moves could influence how affordable Russian-made sedans are perceived within the evolving global market for compact family cars. AvtoVAZ press office
