In March, the price shifts for new cars were constant. In the current up-to-1 million rubles segment, only two models remain: the Lada Granta and the Niva Legend SUV.
The Niva lineup fits within the one-million ruble limit across all versions and configurations. Buyers can pick between a three-door and a five-door SUV in any trim. When considering the Granta, the top trims are priced just over a million, though this is not uniform across all body types. On AvtoVAZ’s official site, the hatchback, liftback, and station wagon Granta models with a 98 horsepower engine paired to a four-speed automatic transmission are priced above one million.
For every other Lada model, the price starts above the one-million-ruble mark. For example, the Lada Vesta starts at 1,121,900 rubles, XRAY at 1,106,900 rubles, Largus at 1,235,900 rubles, and level trip at 1,066,900 rubles.
Additionally, dealer surcharges should be considered, as many dealers add equipment and options that increase the final price of the cars they supply.
This pricing snapshot reflects a market where the entry point for new Lada cars sits near the one-million ruble threshold, with some configurations and trims pulling prices higher. Consumers should also factor in regional differences, dealership promotions, and the potential impact of optional equipment when comparing models. The Niva Legend SUV remains a flexible option within the budget cap, offering both three-door and five-door variants in various configurations. The Granta’s more premium versions can exceed the million-ruble line, particularly in body types beyond the basic hatchback. Market data from manufacturer pages and official dealer networks consistently shows this pattern, with some models occasionally dipping below or rising above the stated benchmarks depending on configuration and promotions.
In practice, buyers should verify current prices directly with dealerships to account for any temporary discounts or added dealer-installed features. It is also prudent to confirm whether a vehicle’s listed price includes destination charges or if those fees are added at the time of purchase. In summary, the up-to-one-million-ruble market for Lada remains tight, with a clear divide between the Niva variants and more expensive Granta configurations. Dealer-added options can push prices higher, so prospective buyers are advised to compare the full cost of ownership, including optional equipment, when evaluating which model and trim best fits their needs.
