Restarted in the anti-crisis variant on the Grant, which saves scarce components, left some core comfort features in place. The Classic’22 package still offers central locking, front electric windows, heated mirrors and windscreen, along with electric power steering (EUR). Yet it seems unlikely that the EUR system will be retained for long in at least one of the state-employee configurations.
Public reports from Avtograd News indicate that Lada Granta models without EUR have begun rolling off the assembly line in Togliatti.
Of course, not every newly assembled car will follow this pattern. The outlet notes that only 2,300 such units are planned for October at the plant. That number is noteworthy because it represents roughly one-third to one-half of the family’s typical monthly production. It remains unclear whether this change is a temporary measure or a permanent shift, or if AVTOVAZ will simply fulfill a one-off order.
- Earlier Grants were sold with a Standard package that lacked EUR and even front power windows — a configuration sometimes found with vehicles used by a metropolitan pizzeria chain.
- Updates from the discussion boards indicate public interest and user impressions about these changes can be read on Odnoklassniki.
