The Lada Aura sedan in its extended form is set to offer premium features drawn from Aurus brand cars, according to Avto Mail.ru, citing sources at AvtoVAZ. These reports suggest a possible upgrade path that could position the Aura closer to higher-end Russian luxury sedans in terms of comfort and refinement.
One of the standout possibilities is the introduction of ventilated and massage seats. These amenities, already seen in Aurus models, may be added to the Aura’s front and potentially rear seating configurations. At this stage the focus is on the initial market versions, with the understanding that a full implementation would require a comprehensive redesign of the seat assemblies to accommodate the new climate and massage functionality. The premium seating details point toward a more luxurious interior, aligning with expectations for a top-tier Aura variant. Kozha leather, sourced from a Russian supplier that also provides leather to Aurus limousines, is mentioned as the material choice for the seats, underscoring a domestic manufacturing emphasis and a stylish, durable finish.

The extended Aura, which is described as a larger version based on the Lada Vesta, was unveiled in Sochi in June 2023. It is equipped with a 1.8-liter engine producing about 122 horsepower and paired with an automatic transmission. The Aura’s cabin is noted for a significant increase in rear passenger space, roughly 25 centimeters more than the standard layout, and features genuine Russian-made leather along with a premium audio system to enhance the overall in-car experience.
