In November, AvtoVAZ is set to restart production of the updated Vesta SW station wagons along with the Cross variant in Togliatti, according to information circulating within the Atypical AvtoVAZ community on VKontakte. The plan marks a return to a fuller Vesta family lineup on the assembly line, expanding beyond the currently produced updated Vesta sedans and their Cross-tuned versions.
Industry insiders note that small batches of SW body shells have appeared on the line in recent weeks. However, these vehicles were not destined for the dealer network. The automaker is preparing to launch full-scale production of the Vesta SW and Vesta SW Cross in November, followed by distribution to showrooms across the country. This move signals a renewed emphasis on diversified body styles within the Vesta family and aligns with AvtoVAZ’s broader strategy to offer a complete range of practical options for buyers.
The refreshed Lada Vesta first rolled out to production in March 2023, with sales beginning that summer. The updated model is equipped with 1.6-liter engines rated at 90 horsepower and 106 horsepower, delivering a practical balance of performance and efficiency. Pricing for the new variant starts at around 1.2 million rubles, reflecting the model’s updated features and refreshed design language that aims to appeal to a broad segment of buyers seeking reliability, spaciousness, and modern styling.
Earlier reports from AvtoVAZ sources indicated ongoing adjustments to production flows and model mix to support the refreshed lineup. The company continues to optimize assembly processes to ensure smooth integration of the Vesta SW variants alongside the existing sedan lines, with a focus on maintaining quality controls and delivery timelines for dealerships. Executives are positioning the update as part of a long-term plan to strengthen Vesta’s competitive position in the market by expanding body type options and improving overall value for customers.
