Promtech, a Nizhny Novgorod based vehicle maker, introduced the second generation of the Lada Largus Roof, a model designed for everyday practicality and fleet versatility. The new Largus Roof updates its predecessor with a reinforced structure, smarter interior layout choices, and a design that balances passenger comfort with generous cargo capacity. In markets that prize reliability and straightforward maintenance, the updated Largus Roof is positioned as a versatile option for families, fleets, and service teams that require dependable transport with adaptable seating. The vehicle continues the Largus family lineage, delivering compact dimensions paired with a cabin engineered to maximize usable space and straightforward operation for daily use. The rollout signals Promtech’s ongoing effort to broaden the Largus lineup beyond traditional minivan stereotypes.
Pricing for 2024 places the Largus Roof at 2.65 million rubles in many configurations. The back row remains a flexible feature, with the option to remove the third row to create a truly expansive cargo area. Power is provided by a 106-horsepower naturally aspirated gasoline engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission. This drivetrain choice emphasizes durability and straightforward maintenance, appealing to fleets that value easy repair and long service intervals. Inside, the cabin emphasizes practicality: durable materials, ample seating for passengers, usable storage spaces, and a straightforward control layout designed for quick operation. The Largus Roof continues the tradition of no-nonsense family transport that can double as a work wagon when needed, without sacrificing everyday comfort.
Largus Roof has found a steady following among police units, emergency medical teams, and canine services, reflecting its blend of versatility and rugged practicality. Agencies appreciate the ability to reconfigure seating quickly, expand cargo capacity for equipment, and rely on the vehicle’s simple mechanics in demanding field conditions. For municipal fleets and response teams, the Largus Roof offers a cost-effective, durable option that can be adapted for patrol duties, patient transport, or canine escort roles while maintaining easy operation for drivers with varying levels of training.
Earlier announcements indicated that AvtoVAZ began mass production of the Lada e-Largus electric car in Izhevsk, signaling a new phase for the brand’s electric strategy. The electric Largus arrives at a price point starting from 2.99 million rubles after subsidies, presenting a competitive option for buyers seeking an urban-friendly electric family vehicle. The Izhevsk plant’s output supports a growing electric lineup that complements conventional models and reflects the sector’s broader move toward electrified mobility in Russia. The e-Largus inherits the familiar Largus footprint, with practical dimensions suitable for daily commuting, school runs, and light commercial tasks, while benefiting from a quiet electric drive and reduced operating costs compared with gasoline-powered siblings.
Government support for domestically produced electric vehicles is designed to ease the transition to electrified fleets. Buyers of e-Largus under the preferential vehicle loan program can receive a subsidy amounting to 35 percent of the vehicle price, capped at 925,000 rubles. When the subsidy is applied, the effective price becomes substantially more affordable, though the model would otherwise cost about 3.9 million rubles without the incentive. The policy aims to boost domestic EV adoption, stimulate local production, and offer stable ownership costs for users who prioritize emissions-free operation, lower fuel costs, and the quiet, smooth nature of electric propulsion. This subsidy framework helps make the Lada e-Largus a practical option for individuals, small businesses, and government fleets exploring electric mobility.
Sales for the Lada e-Largus are planned to begin in the near term, with the vehicle available in a five-seat station wagon configuration as well as a minibus variant. The passenger version is expected to offer a generous driving range of about 420 kilometers under typical conditions, while the cargo-focused version allows a choice of one or two battery packs to tailor range and payload. The minibus variant pushes ranges to roughly 320 or 400 kilometers depending on battery configuration. These figures position the e-Largus as a flexible transport solution for family use, school or corporate fleets, and small-scale commercial operators seeking affordable electric mobility with practical versatility.
Market observers note the September performance of Lada models in Russia provides a snapshot of how the brand is performing amid shifting consumer preferences and economic conditions. While exact sales volumes vary monthly, the pattern shows steady interest in budget-friendly family vehicles and adaptable light commercial options such as the Largus Roof and Lada e-Largus. The updates to both models reflect ongoing efforts to expand the range of practical, affordable transport that can serve households, service operators, and municipal fleets across the country.
