The Lada Sport division, a unit of AvtoVAZ, has halted the production of Lada Vesta Sport station wagons. This update comes through a public post on VKontakte reported by Avtograd News. It states that the Lada Sport subsidiary is now focused solely on building Lada Granta Sport models while the Vesta Sportline line is temporarily paused.
Details about the rationale behind stopping Vesta Sportline production were not disclosed in the message. Observers note that market dynamics and production scheduling often drive such adjustments, with automakers prioritizing models that respond best to consumer demand and factory efficiency. The pause affects a line once highlighted for its blend of sport-oriented styling and practical family-car utility. (citation: Avtograd News via VKontakte, attributed to AvtoVAZ communications)
The Lada Vesta SW Sportline variant is described as powered by a 1.6-liter gasoline engine delivering around 118 horsepower, paired with a five-speed manual transmission. It can reach a top speed of approximately 190 kilometers per hour, and it accelerates from zero to sixty miles per hour in roughly 10.9 seconds. The model features a lower ride height and a retuned suspension with upgraded shock absorbers to blend sport feel with daily usability. A distinctive body kit with red horizontal detailing, a rear spoiler, a dual exhaust setup, 17-inch wheels, and a gloss black roof with wing accents give it a bold, coupe-like silhouette. The price tag was around 2.3 million rubles at the time, positioning it as the most expensive model in the brand’s lineup in that period.

Earlier reports noted that potential buyers could often secure discounts on the Lada Vesta family, with reductions reaching several hundred thousand rubles in some cases. The evolving pricing and model mix reflect broader strategies to attract buyers and clear inventory while new variants or updates are prepared for release.
