Price adjustments for Lada Granta configurations and the impact on value
AvtoVAZ has removed the Classic’22 package from the Lada Granta sedan price lists, which pushes the model’s minimum price up to 699.9 thousand rubles. This change was reported by Autonews.ru, which cites the company’s official data as the source of record. The shift means buyers now encounter a higher baseline price when considering the Granta lineup, and it reflects pricing decisions made by the manufacturer in response to market conditions and equipment availability.
In the Classic’22 configuration, priced at 692.3 thousand rubles, sedans did not include the ERA-GLONASS system, airbags, ABS, or several other options that some buyers expect. With the removal of that package, the most affordable Granta option becomes the Standard version, listed at 699.9 thousand rubles. This effectively closes the gap on essential safety and convenience features while signaling a broader price normalization across trim levels. For some configurations, the price uptick is more pronounced; for instance, the Classic’23 version saw an increase of 10 thousand rubles, bringing its price to 784.9 thousand rubles. The shift indicates that even incremental upgrades in equipment or model year designations can influence sticker prices, and it highlights how producers recalibrate value propositions for compact sedans in today’s market.
Similarly, the Liftback variant of the Granta saw the removal of the Classic’22 configuration from its price list, which initially stood at 722.3 thousand rubles. The most economical Liftback option became the Classic version, now priced at 768.9 thousand rubles. Across the lineup, prices for sedans and liftbacks have risen by about 40 thousand rubles in several key configurations. These changes point to a broader pricing trend affecting the Granta family, where feature packages, year designations, and market pressures collectively shape consumer cost expectations.
Earlier, AvtoVAZ announced a general increase in spare parts prices tied to the maintenance and replacement needs of its vehicles. That broader move underscores how manufacturers balance upfront purchase costs with ongoing ownership expenses, influencing total cost of ownership for Granta buyers.
For buyers weighing the Granta purchase today, the shifting price ladder means evaluating not just the immediate sticker price but also the value of included features and the potential upgrade costs in future maintenance. Observers note that savings on initial price may be offset by optional equipment changes and the evolving equipment roster across trim levels. The overall effect is a more compact, price-conscious lineup with clearer distinctions between base and upgraded configurations, as reflected in the current official price listings.
In summary, the Granta’s price evolution—driven by the removal of the Classic’22 package, selective feature inclusion, and a few year-to-year adjustments—illustrates how a compact sedan in the Russian market is responding to consumer expectations and supply conditions. Buyers should consult the latest official data and reportings from authoritative outlets such as Autonews.ru to understand the exact configuration and price of each trim before making a purchase decision.
