The most premium Lada Vesta in the Sportline Black edition is priced at 2.2 million rubles, a figure highlighted by Autonews in the price list published by AvtoVAZ. This version stands out not just for its badge but for the careful selection of its darkened aesthetic details that set it apart within the Vesta lineup. The black theme isn’t limited to a single element; it sweeps across practical and design features, giving the car a cohesive, stealthy look that appeals to buyers who want sportiness with a refined, understated character.
In black configuration, the Vesta Sportline deviates from the standard Vesta Sportline by introducing black alloy wheels, a trunk lid spoiler finished in black, and matte or gloss black moldings along the front bumper. The radiator grille adopts a design that reinforces the vehicle’s aggressive profile while maintaining the clean lines that define the Vesta family. These visual refinements work together to create a distinct presence on the road, signaling a higher-level aesthetic without sacrificing the practical essence of the model.
Sales of the Vesta Sportline began on November 3 and mark the peak of the current family in terms of power and dynamism. Under the hood sits a 1.6-liter gasoline engine upgraded to 118 horsepower, delivering brisk performance for daily driving and highway cruising alike. Acceleration to 100 kilometers per hour comes in about 10.9 seconds, and the top speed reaches around 190 km/h, numbers that position the Sportline as a compelling choice for enthusiasts who want more performance from a compact sedan. The Sportline is offered exclusively in a sedan body configuration, with the company indicating that a station wagon variant could be introduced later to broaden its appeal to buyers seeking additional practicality without sacrificing sport-friendly dynamics.
In related developments, industry observers note that AvtoVAZ is pursuing expansion of its engineering footprint, with plans to establish an engineering center in a different city. This strategic move is viewed as part of a broader effort to enhance research and development capabilities and to accelerate the introduction of advanced technologies across its model range. The shift signals a continued commitment to product optimization and regional presence within the Russian automotive sector. The new facility is expected to support more efficient development cycles and closer collaboration with suppliers and partners, reinforcing AvtoVAZ’s readiness to respond to evolving market preferences and regulatory requirements.
