In addition, the youngest Grant, and of course a promising family known as the Lada B-class, need an automatic machine. It was initially assumed that it would be a classic six-speed automatic transmission from China, Russian Automobiles reports based on its own sources.
However, according to the publication, more affordable options are now being considered: a CVT or a robot with two clutches. In addition to the price (the variator is almost twice cheaper than the automatic), these boxes are more compact and fit better under the hood of VAZ cars.
In addition, it must be a box that has not been produced under license from Western countries. For example, the classic automatic transmission with torque converter has not yet been given up, but alternative, simpler and more affordable versions of the automatic transmission have opportunities.
In September 2022, the president of AvtoVAZ, Maxim Sokolov, said that an automatic machine would appear on Lada cars in at least a year and a half.
