AvtoVAZ Expands Lada Vesta SW Range with New 106-HP 16-Valve Engine
AvtoVAZ, the Russian automaker behind the Lada brand, has expanded the lineup of the Lada Vesta station wagon by introducing a variant equipped with a 16-valve engine producing 106 horsepower. This update was officially published on the brand’s website, signaling a refined powertrain option that aligns with the model’s practical, family-friendly ethos while maintaining the distinctive, compact-wagon silhouette that has become a staple in the Vesta family.
Customers can choose among four trim levels for the LADA Vesta SW with the new engine. The entry-level Comfort is priced at 1,639,900 rubles, followed by Life at 1,721,900 rubles, Enjoy at 1,786,900 rubles, and the top-end Techno at 1,928,900 rubles. Each grade builds on the previous one, adding comfort, convenience, and technology features that broaden the car’s appeal to a wider range of drivers in markets where the Vesta competes.
In the Comfort configuration, buyers receive essential modern conveniences including full LED headlights and taillights for enhanced visibility, dual airbags, an ABS system for safer braking, air conditioning for year-round comfort, practical roof rails for extra cargo options, standard electrical accessories, and a push-button engine start system for quick, effortless access. The Life trim adds heated front seats for cold-weather comfort, a Lada EnjoY multimedia system with a 7-inch display, and a multifunction steering wheel to improve daily usability and driver engagement.
Stepping up to the Enjoy variant brings even more convenience and comfort: a heated steering wheel, a heated windshield to clear frosty mornings, rear parking sensors, and a rear-view camera that aids in parking maneuvers. The Techno version is the most feature-rich, introducing side airbags and a digital instrument panel for enhanced safety and information readability, plus the Lada EnjoY Vision Pro multimedia system with a larger 10-inch screen that integrates popular Yandex services to support navigation, music, and connected apps.
Looking beyond the current Vesta family, the broader automotive conversation has touched on related developments. In related news, a concept model from Renault has previously been showcased as a precursor to the fourth-generation Twingo, hinting at design directions that may influence city cars across markets. The new Twingo is expected to echo the classic first-generation model that was sold in Europe from 1992 to 2007, blending nostalgic styling with contemporary compact-car practicality.
In parallel industry chatter, another notable introduction comes from GAC, which unveiled the Aion Hyper HT crossover featuring gull-wing doors for the Chinese market. This demonstrates the ongoing diversity and innovation in the global compact and crossover segments, where manufacturers continually seek to balance efficiency, practicality, and bold design choices. These developments collectively frame a dynamic backdrop to the Lada Vesta SW update, illustrating how regional offerings sit within a broader trend of diversified powertrains and technology packages designed to appeal to today’s value-conscious buyers while offering modernized features that enhance daily driving experiences.
