Vesta Sv Cross, probably, the only domestic car, which you can buy with one eyes, without connecting the brain. Just look at her - beautiful! Especially in this exclusive color "Mars". Dream, not a car.
Looking at the exterior of the car, it seems that the "off-road version" was drawn first, and only then, by simplifying, received a simple wagon. If the usual Vesta SW 15th wheels look "wheels", then in the visually extended arches of the SW Cross wheel with 17-inch disks "sit", like gloss. It also plays black plastic on the threshold, visually reducing the height of the body and adding the road lumen, and it is so with a margin - as much as 203 mm.
In the cabin there is a single difference, but it is impossible not to notice it: the feeling that the car was transported in the car a full bucket of orange paint on a very bad road, while it was without a lid. The "orange" splashes are everywhere: on the seats, on the front panel and doors and even the devices got a savory paint charge. Do not like color experiments? Not a problem, from all this carnival of paints you can refuse and choose neutral gray finishes.
By installments, the car is not different from simple wizard wagon: there are and heated all and all (5 pcs.!), And navigating with a rear view camera, and even climate and cruise control.
The whole challenge difference comes down to other wheels: more discs, wider tires.
On the West Road SW Cross behaves similarly to a simple version, but on the off-road worse! The behavior of the suspension is similar to the work of pneumatic racks in the uppermost position, there are small moves and rigidity, only here it is achieved by non-cunning mechanisms, but with simple physics: Large wheels with not very high-profile tires miss the blows, then more stringent than in the standard, shock absorbers pass Punch is already on the body.
If the off-road you do not interest you, then on good roads, any Vesta is able to give pleasure from management, "off-road" version is not an exception. Accurate and moderately sharp steering wheel, good brakes, small rolls (although more than in the cross), and in the end we get a very gambling car, where you want to ride and ride.
What can stop the desire to ride a lot is a great fuel consumption, in life the average consumption of about 11 liters per hundred. Another problem for Tollyatinsky machines are traffic jams on the roads, a good automatic box, as it was not, and not, but not many satisfy the Robot of AMT.
Even in the cons of the "sublime" version, you can write the worse dynamics: the car is heavier and twist the 17th wheels are harder than the 15th, so we get in overclocking up to 100 km / h loss in one second, the fastest result in our measurements is 12.5 seconds.
Detailed prices can be found below on the page, but if briefly, the cross version is more expensive than 43,000 r. In the same configuration of LUXE, but the simple sobs is in a more democratic configuration of Comfort, and this will allow another 40,000 rubles in his pocket.

Back in March 2016, the leading canal on Yutub called a large test drive showed us a domestic novelty - conceptual model of Lada Vesta Cross.
After a year and a half, a video of Lada Vesta Cross is a large test drive, where the presenters showed us a serial version of the car.
Leading programs Sergei Stillavin and Rustam Vahidov took a novelty of the domestic auto industry to the test - Lada Vesta Cross SW and tested it for several hundred kilometers. In his video, they are ready to tell us about their emotions, impressions and everything that they noticed and what was surprised in the novelty Lada Vesta SW Cross. Expect information about how the car goes, as it keeps on the road and steals. Total roller lasts a little more than 20 minutes. Go!
Big Test Drive Lada Vest Sv Cross
Here is the video itself from the channel you can see below:
And now we will analyze everything in detail. From the very beginning of the video, we were shown that the presenters do not hide the explicit delight from the model. The car turned out the most beautiful, highest quality and generally the best among all the domestic production machines. Car rides!
The video begins, as usual with technical information, the leaders say that they have for the car on the test, which they have, what it differs from their fellow - the usual wizest wagon. Next comes small information about, with which they took leading BTDs on the test. After that, the guys are told about and, also rear disc brakes. Guys with a small fraction of irony tell that we finally waited for rear disc brakes. In general, a little irony and sarcasm and we learn about the wagist all the main details - the volume of the trunk, clearance, etc.

Disputes regarding the safety of domestic cars do not subside, and supporters and the first, and the second points of view persistently prove their rightness, which has become even more noticeable after entering the market of new products from AvtoVAZ - Lada Vesta and X Rey.
However, after a new off-road version of Lada Vesta Cross, disputes broke out with a new force. And this means that it is necessary to analyze as closely as possible not only the results of the crash tests of the universal Lada Vesta Cross, but also the conditions in which tests and estimation were conducted.
Distribution tests
As is well known, even before the start of the serial release, comprehensive tests were carried out, which were held in May 2017. One of the stages of testing found an analyst from the authoritative edition from the author.
Below features of the car body design.
On that day, the crash test of Lada Vesta Cross SW meant a side blow of a ram, weighing 900 kg with a fixed tip, at a speed of 50 km / h. At the same time, as a "subject", the car was performed in the maximum configuration, "armed" at once 4 pillows.
Side strike
The results did not forced the AvtoVAZ designers to redden from shame. On the contrary! The car showed a worthy result. A significant proportion of energy at strike accepted the threshold, the side pillows worked as it should, and only the driver's glass was broken - the rear remains as a whole.
According to the reports of AvtoVAZ reports, it became clear that the sensors attached to the mannequin did not notice excessive loads, and the HIC (head injuries) has shown an excellent result in 21.8 units.
Mannequin condition after impact
However, the expert from the authorship was noticed by one interesting fact - AvtoVAZ did not test the cross-version of the wagon with a loaded trunk, although such a test suggests itself. The same applies to safety complexes that would allow reliably to fix the overall swing, which is above the window line.
At the plant commented on their decision, explaining it with the appointment of the car itself. According to representatives of the company, the crash test of the wagon Lada Vesta Cross in such conditions was not carried out, since this only lifefile model with increased permeability, and not the cargo transportation machine.
No less interesting to solve the plant to abandon the complete set of auto rear side airbags - even in top versions there are only front. In this case, the reason was that the presence of such pillows in itself (without the relevant sets of active safety) will not affect the final assessment during the tests on the EU criteria. Although many are confident that buyers of top completeures would agree to overpay a little for the additional protection of the rear passengers.
The rear side pillows from the Lada Vesta Cross wagon is not even in the top
Test serial version
After the start of sales, the tests of the universal Lada Vesta cross over the serial model were carried out. First, consider the frontal blow, which was carried out by directly the autores on their ARCAP technique. And then we estimate the results of the side impact carried out on AvtoVAZ.
The need for repeated tests of the full cycle, in comparison with the usual universal, is due to increased clearance and grown weight of the cross.
Frontal strike
By the way, the journalists themselves noted that the choice of this model was predetermined by readers who gave for this option a variety of votes - more than Renault Captures, Hyundai Cret and Toyota Camry together. As a result, for 797900 rubles, the car was acquired and divided. Front blow of a deformable overlap at a speed of 64 km / h.
In front of the test, the specialists immediately noted large wheels, because on a wagon cross in the top there are 17 inches discs, against 15-inch on the sedan. In addition, measurements were measured, and it turned out that the car is heavier than the sedan at 148 kg - 1298 kg against 1150 kg, respectively. Therefore, it should absorb 13% more energy (kinetic).
Naturally, experts from AvtoVAZ were invited to the crash test of Lada Vesta Cross.
Constructive version of the cross is identical to a simple universal. However, in comparison with the sedan there are changes:
- An additional amplifier in the front racks - this amplifier comes to the doorway center.
- Strengthened thresholds.
It is worth noting that the Era-Glonass service worked perfectly, and after hitting the machine, the operator immediately contacted.
As for the results of the blow, then, at first glance, the car sustain it just perfectly! The front rack remained in its place (apparently, the presence of an additional amplifier). In addition, the sparber was exceeded from the left side - it was formed, absorbing most of the energy of the blow, whereas on the sedan, this power element just bent. In addition, part of the energy accounted for a cast wheel drive, which cracked from the blow.
The driver's door opened with minimal efforts, airbags worked effectively, which can also be written to the speaker.
The driver's door opened easily
- Head and neck - everything is within the normal range. Only the driver at the bounce of the car turned his head, but it does not threaten health.
- The chest is to the belt there are no complaints, as the power of squeezing the edges is completely normal and even weaker than on the sedan. It is very important that when hitting the steering wheel moved away from the driver by 30 mm.
- Knees - the right knee hit the torpedo slightly, while the left did not touch the plastic at all.
- Foot - Despite the slight displacement of the pedal node, nothing dangerous happened.
Consequently, at first glance, the crash of the Lada Vesta Cross wagon test with frontal impact was at the highest level and the car is worthy of the highest marks. However, everything is not so smooth ...
The fact is that in Europe it uses a much more progressive assessment methodology and if applying it, the results will not be as rainbow. During testing on the EURO NCAP system, the "structural integrity of the passenger salon passenger cell is also rated.
If you remove the decorative plastic to which the thresholds and wings are covered, the metal elements in the back and front thresholds will be noticeable. The situation with the front threshold is especially important, because this zone was improved and reinforced by the plant - a thickened metal was used.
Also from the station wagon filmed floors and floor insulation. In this situation, the picture is the same - the floor is torn and crumpled, which is defined as "the destruction of space for the legs" and means the removal of one score in the assessment. Moreover, welding withstood - the ruptures appeared around the points. Consequently, AvtoVAZ should pay attention to the quality of the sheet metal supplied to the plant.
Completed the situation with the driver's legs. Paul got rid and created an excessive load on the legs - according to the result, the estimate is not "excellent" and not even "well", but only "satisfactory."
All this significantly reduced the estimate in the category "Protection of the bottom of the legs" - according to the results of the test of the station of Lada Vesta Cross, from the limit 4 points the car scored only 1.7 points.
The deformation of the threshold also removed 1 point from the final rating, because according to the Euro NCAP system, it is regarded as "violation of the stability of the doorway."
In addition, due to the breakfast of the threshold, AvtoVAZ lost its ability to apply the protocol "On the safety of the front panel". During testing, the mannequin slightly hit the left knee about the plastic steering column. It is absolutely not dangerous, but is aggravated by the fact that under the plastic there are metal components. As a result, another score was removed from the assessment.
This could be avoided if it were not for damage to the threshold, which provoked a violation of the "structural integrity of the passenger cell of the cabin." With this condition, AvtoVAZ failed to ensure the safety of the structure, and the penalty for his knees was imposed.
The final rating is 11.7 points from possible 16, and only 3 stars.
Plant reaction
Such a result is greatly puzzled by AvtoVAZ engineers. As a result, the autocompany bought an instance broken on the test and examined it carefully. First there were suspicions of marriage during the assembly, but this version was not confirmed.
Everything became clear after computer simulation, when the data obtained was compared with the tests, which were carried out directly on AvtoVAZ and then gave a much better result. The reason lies in the ballast.
Any car is prepared for crash test on a specific algorithm. She implies:
- Front armchairs - 88 kg per each (mannequins);
- Rear sofa - 32 kg (ballast);
- Trunk - 36 kg (weight required for instrument testing);
- Petrol - fullness of 90% (water used).
During the tests on AvtoVAZ, 2 children's chairs with an ISOFIX fastening and a pair of children's mannequins were used as a ballast for the rear sofa. But the autores applied conventional metal bars, screwed to the floor, 20 kg weighing. This approach is resolved by Euro NCAP criteria, provided that it does not affect the result. And it is worth noting that during other tests (Vesta Sedan, Volkswagen Polo, Hyundai Solaris) Ballast was used as the same (blanks on the floor) and he did not influence the final assessment.
It is best that this fact proves that representatives of the company who released the car (Hyundai, Volkswagen, AvtoVAZ) and no complaints were present on all the trials.
After creating a mathematical model, it became clear that 2 metal ingots, a weight of 20 kg each, by 20% increase the load on the amplifiers and welds, as a result of which the deformation of the floor occurs.
When this fact came up, AvtoVAZ spent 2 more similar tests with metal ingots near the rear sofa and the result was exactly the same as the autores. During the third dough on the back sofa were children's mannequins. As a result, the crash test station wagon Lada Vesta Cross passed as it should not be better - the belts worked in the desired mode, no folds on the floor, metal breaks or welding.
If we consider such a situation, then from the maximum possible 16 points, Vesta received not 11.7, and 14.9 points!
As for AvtoVAZ, his designers have already conducted calculations and found out how the cross is stronger to make a stronger to avoid sex breaks.
Side strike
In this case, the situation is echoing with the one that has developed after testing with the front impact. The final result varies depending on the evaluation criteria.
This time everything happened in the Laboratory of Passive Safety AvtoVAZ. For the test they took a wagon cross in the top configuration. The lateral blow implies a collision with a cart, a mass of 950 kg, equipped with a frozen barrier, at a speed of 50 km / h. The blow itself comes to the center of the car.
All test details are demonstrated on video.
Side pillow in the car in the back of the seat. When hit, it is revealed, overlapping a part of the window opening, and protects not only the body, but also the head.
After overclocking the cart on the catapult and impact, after 27 seconds. The actor Era-GLONASS was contacted by the operator, which once again demonstrated efficiency. As with most modern models, the center of gravity of the car is shifted forward, because of which after the strike it partially unfolded the feed. The glass of the driver's door spreads out, while the back remains as much, as well as the rearview mirror.
After the impact, the damage analysis begins, the state of the cabin is estimated, the force required to open the doors is fixed, and so on. Only after all this is the analysis of the mannequin state.
It is worth noting that immediately after hitting the site, Andrei Matveyev came out to the site, which occupies the post of chief engineer of the whole project "Vesta Universal". He said that this is the 10th of the 12 planned tests and he was pleased with the results. The side pillow opened at the set time.
During the development of the project, the designers reinforced the threshold, as the car enlarged clearance, which means that the blow will come in the threshold. Therefore, it was necessary to reduce the impact of the threshold on the offset of the central rack.
Regarding the likelihood of crash of the tests of the universal Lada Vesta Cross with a full trunk - loaded to the ceiling or with severe cakes - they are not planned yet. But all technical solutions aimed at increasing the strength of the seats implemented in the sedan, there are also in the universal.
It would seem that everything went as it should not be better - the doors were opened easily, the fuel remained in the tank, the mannequin did not fix serious damage and got it without the use of tools, hazardous details did not fall into the salon, the battery remained the whole. All criteria for injuries are at times below acceptable values!
But this is only if you evaluate the Crash test and its results on the standards No. 95 operating in Russia. These criteria were developed even in the early 80s of the twentieth century, and in 1997 they accepted Euro NCAP. However, 2008 and the end of 2015 were noted by serious recording of these standards.
First, the EU tightened the evaluation criteria, and later changed the mass of the carts. AvtoVAZ uses a cart weighing 950 kg, but there are almost no cars of this weight on the roads, because even Lada Grant in the basic performance weighs over 1000 kg.
Even if we consider the new EURO NCAP criteria at the same weight of the cart 950 kg, then the head of the driver is safe, but the ribs and the pelvis are already at the boundary of the probability of injury - 5% for ribs and 20% for the pelvis.
But the main thing - in early 2016, the mass of the cart used in Euro NCAP, from 950 kg rose to 1300 kg, while maintaining the same assessment criteria.
Rules in Euroncap more stringent
Naturally, with such standards, the result of the crash of the station of Lada Vesta Cross would be not so impressive, but not failing, of course.
However, AvtoVAZ's guilt is not. It's all about the laws taken by the Government.
Journalists and bloggers accurately followed the fate of this project. Like every week, the news appeared that the universals were photographed during tests in Togliatti, in Izhevsk and. Then the video began to appear on which cars were captured in camouflage film and without. In general, interest in Vesta SW and SW Cross turned out to be colossal.
If before the exterior of the AvtoVAZ models did not prevent complaints, except that the lazy, then with the release of the sedan Vesta critical arrows to the address of Russian auto giant was dressed. Designer Steve Mattin managed, it would seem impossible - to make the sophisticated public recognize that new Lada cars have a unique appearance.
Yes, the sedan Vesta turned out to be really cute, but the universals are perhaps the most beautiful cars that ever went under the Lada brand. Particularly failed Lada Vesta SW Cross. The car got a spoiler, rails, dualized exhaust system, 17-inch alloy discs, plastic lining. If you order a car in the color "Mars" - then the off-road station wagon will look very and very cool.
SW Cross is longer than the ordinary station wagon 4 mm and above (1532 mm instead of 1512 mm). In addition, due to 17-inch wheels, he is a little wider than a track. Vesta SW clearance is 178 mm. But the off-road version this indicator is brought to the impressive 203 mm! Yes, only front-wheel drive is available, but the "cross" Vesta is not afraid to move from the asphalt (what we will tell a little later).
The interior of Vesta SW is made in the sedan style. But the SW Cross will please the black glossy decor on the front panel and door handles. The instrument panel scales have gained bright orange edging, orange inserts are present on the seats, and on the door handles.
Behind the passengers now there is a central armrest with two cup holders. It is a pity that the plastic wall is behind the armrest - the hatch for the carriage of the long runs would not be superfluous. There are and heated rear seats, a 12-volt socket and a USB socket for charging gadgets.
Another plus - over the heads of the rear passengers are now an acceptable supply of space - an additional 25 mm is eliminated from the sensation of the "hanging roof". Yes, and comfortably - the doorway here more than the sedan. But pockets in the rear doors, unfortunately, no.
The fifth door opens by pressing the button located under the visor visor. The volume of the luggage compartment is 480 liters. Under the double floor there is a 95-liter niche equipped with a organizer consisting of two plastic containers.
To delimit the space, the floor panel can be put up vertically - there are grooves for this. In general, with the help of these panels, you can easily configure the trunk at your discretion. If you fold the rear sofa, then the cargo compartment is obtained by 825 liters. True, even the floor will not still be.
I liked the large number of hooks (whole 4) - now after the trip to the store packs with products will not fly on the trunk. On the right - the recycling box for tools, on the left - pocket under the "non-freeze". Plus a set of three grids for fixing the cargo, several lamps and a 12-volt socket.
Attention to items is what really bribes. AvtoVazovtsy thoroughly worked on the layout layout (namely, people buy such cars). Here you can easily post both overall things, and all the smallers, cutting it into different niches.
During the test, we managed to try in the case of both the usual wagon, and the "cross" version. But cars were only with 1.8 liter engines (122 hp) and a manual transmission. Machines with "robot" AMT, as with 1.6 liter motors (106 hp), did not arrive at the test. What, however, is quite understandable - MT is best suited for mountains and the most powerful Vesta engine.
To "hundreds" Lada Vesta SW accelerates in 10.9 seconds. The numbers do not affect the imagination, but on the highway the car is clearly not among the outsiders. After 90 km / h, the wagon is confidently gaining speed - overtaking lowers will not cause a migraine attack.
Given that this car is primarily designed for the client, which, no doubt, will buy a car for the trunk, a 1.8 liter motor in a pair with "mechanics" is the best option. With full loading, the wagon will follow its fellow with a 1.6 liter unit.
Like a sedan, Vesta SW reacts perfectly to the turns of the steering wheel - the car is clearly driving where you need. Yes, and there is no feeling that you are in Saraj. On serpentines strong rolls did not find it - the car is firmly on the road.
Another plus is the suspension. It not only perfectly "smoothes" irregularities, but also allows not to notice the pits. By the way, our test car was a shod in 16-inch wheels with a high profile. Class B + cars have noise insulation problems. However, this is definitely not a LADA wagon. Sanders from behind do not allow noise from the arches to penetrate the salon.
After Vesta SW, we got something for which many and went to Sochi - SW Cross. The main changes in the car in the technical plan from the usual station wagon are new shock absorbers and springs of increased rigidity.
In addition, AvtoVovazov worked on the setting of the running properties and the stability system. It would seem - the big clearance should worsen the controllability of the machine on the asphalt, but in the case of the "cross" Vesta is not so.
The car reacts faster and sharper to the rotations of the steering wheel, even less swinging. Even with low-profile tires 205/50 R17 SW Cross suspension turned out to be impenetrable.
Having gone from the track, we go to the mountains. A rather steep rise "off-road" Vesta climbs confidently. Large stones in the ground with land - no interference for the station wagon.
Yes, in one place we had to storm the hill three times, but as a result, I still managed to achieve my own. In general, SW Cross coped with all the tasks that we set. Although, of course, it is thorough to test the car outside asphalt we did not have time. Yes, and you need to understand that for the heavy off-road "cross" Vesta is not intended frankly, so it's not worth waiting for miracles.
The most important thing is that new models of AvtoVAZ have no competitors in our market. Vesta SW in the minimum configuration will cost 639,900 rubles, the top Vesta SW Cross costs 847,900 rubles.
With such prices for the station wagon and the wagon of high passability in a very narrow segment, no one can compete with Lada. Yes, someone will remember the Kia Cee'd SW and Ford Focus, but both models are noticeably higher (from 900 thousand rubles) than cars of Russian auto giant.
Maybe you should take a crossover? Renault Duster Although it is sold from 639 thousand rubles, but in this configuration there will be nothing. For a very similar equipment DUSTER (front-wheel drive machine with mechanics and an engine of 1.6 liters) it will be necessary to give 900 thousand rubles, and the all-wheel drive version with the "automatic" will cost a million more.
There is also Hyundai Creta. But already in the basic version, this crossover is more expensive than Lada Vesta SW Cross. Korean costs from 800 thousand rubles.
We will definitely take the new Lada Vesta for a more detailed test drive of Moscow, but now it is clear that AvtoVAZ made very beautiful cars that are not inferior to foreign cars
Our first Vesta Cross test may answer the question whether it is necessary to overpay 43 thousand rubles per cross or dwell on a calm universal vest. Cross, it seems, shouts, take me, he struggled to prove his right and even climbed almost along the vertical wall of the Sochi Forest. Video Vesta Cross test, about how we, blasting stones, took the mountain heights below, specifications at the end of the article.
I will not list all the universals, which posted, starting with the VAZ 2102, my evolution stayed at the beveled back door Audi A7. Surprisingly, it seems to be in pursuit of tastes such as I buyers, Lada in its new universal moved away from almost vertical back wall. True, the tilt of the rear window turned out not so strong to, as in my sportsback, to abandon the janitor, but sufficient that the roof line acquires the trendy dynamics.
Lada-Vesta-SW and Lada-Vesta-SW Cross: I will imagine for a minute next to VAZ-2104. It seems to me that he will stand here like an ancient stone. What kind of dynamic roof line was then thought, immersed the refrigerator and to the cottage. And the universal Vesta even on the roof of "shark fins" carries - it is an outer antenna. That's what compete for me, a loved one.
According to the designer of Lada Steve Mattina "The roof line, starting from the outer mirrors, and the" shark fins "form a certain air elegant X." It turns out that it does not happen much on the pure car. If it were not for Xersi, I thought that Volvo. The double chrome pipe of the exhaust pipe is modern, on the right there is a place for two more false pipes.
Lada-Vesta-SW and Lada-Vesta-SW-Cross: Produced in Izhevsk. The basic wagon (right) looks simpler. It does not have two-color bumpers, sliding the body of plastic linings, it is 4 mm shorter and 25 mm below the cross.
Lada-Vesta-SW prices start from 639,900 rubles, in the CROSS base is more expensive by 116 thousand. But at the top, in the most expensive equipment, the difference is only 43 thousand (1.8 l., 16 CL, 122L.S., 5 AMT). The difference in 43 thousand can also be found in the middle of the price list (1.8, 16 cl., 122 hp, 5 mt).
Our first Vesta Cross test took place in Sochi, where we ride both in the forest, and on steep slides, Cross flames more aggressive bumpers with black and silvery lining, and, of course, body kit on the perimeter of the entire body. It seems like Butaforia, but with frequent ride on the ground and simply dirty roads, the lining must extend the life of paint on the thresholds and wheeled arches. And this is already a matter of corrosion resistance and commodity type of universal after a few years intensive operation. But the owners of simple universal, in the event of a distance from behind, can save - their bumper is fully borrowed from the sedan. But the cross bumper is original and quite difficult organized.
For Lada Vesta Cross in the forest somehow calmer, plastic body kit takes.
Is it possible to immerse the refrigerator?
The declared trunk volume is 480 liters. It seems not at all bad, but by lifting the back door, you find out clearly smaller than the bag, not all the refrigerator will fit. However, the floor panels are lifting, and under them is hidden a pair of organizers with a total volume of 95 liters. For convenience, the trunk can be divided into 2 parts, as well as completely remove plastic organizers.
Left place for storage of containers with a fixing strap, 15-liter niche in the right
wheel arches, covered with a lid.
With folded seats of the second row - 825 liters. The double floor with the organizer is aimed at creating a flat pad when folding the backs of the rear seats, but, as we see, it does not really work. The rear seat cushion will not stand vertically, it should be removed from the cabin to align the floor, you can take out, but this occupation is not easy.
Under the main floor, of course, a full-sized spare wheel, however, it is 15-inch and on the steel disk. Next to the Other Organizer and the thick layer of noise insulation. On the trunk sides, it is also provided compartments for trifles, hooks for packages and even a 12-volt socket. Unexpected luxury for a budget car. The fifth door is closed with powerful handles, which are provided to both on the left.
Sit behind.
Lada-Vesta-SW-Cross: Here the head does not rest in the ceiling, and the place for the legs and in enough. Unlike sedan, the distance from the seat to the ceiling increased by 25 mm. Extending a hand forward, you will find the heated of the rear seats.
With new rear doors, enter the back seat has become more convenient. A central armrest with a pair of cup holders appeared, and in the maximum version for the rear sofa seated behind the seat, the USB connector and a 12 volt socket. Here are just headrests are not too comfortable - in the upper position they are low for people with a growing 180 cm and above.
Let's go behind the wheel.
The wizard interior of the wagon is little different from. But Lada Cross painted from the soul.
Lada-Vesta-SW-Cross
Over the past 2 years, the vazovtsy not only managed to develop a wagon, but also a little finalized the interior. In the top versions, a full-fledged central armrest appeared. It is convenient to put my right hand on it, and inside there is a small compartment. In order to encourage the driver Vesta SW and Vesta Cross got the instrument panels.
Tolyattinians clearly spied this idea, he also has orange accents in the interior.
In a simple station wagon, the devices are only slightly summarized with color, and at the raised version on the speedometer the inscription CROSS and brighter accents. In addition, it is distinguished by contrasting inserts on the seats, another ornament on plastic inserts of the front panel and doors, as well as chrome handles. On the wagon handle matte.
Motor
Lada-Vesta-SW: 1.8-liter, 122-strong, 16-valve.
But the 1.8-liter 122-strong engine disappointed. Even in a pair with mechanics borrowed from Reno, the engine clearly does not justify expectations. We traveled to West together, and when accelerating in the floor, a set of speeds on higher transmission occurs slowly. Perhaps the problem is that test cars have not yet passed the running, and on odometers only 500-600 km. However, Korean classmates already at the exit from the factory, even with a more modest volume of 1.6 liters go better. On their background, the vazov engine trembles under load and even after 2000 rpm does not indulge the traction margin. Yes, Togliatti aggregates have proven themselves very reliable and maintainable, but in the modern world of this is already a little. It is clearly necessary, to improve the craving and on the bottoms, and at high speed.
Lada-Vesta-SW-Cross, like Brother Universal, is equipped with two motors - 1.6 (106 hp) and 1.8 liters (122 hp).
Not enough classic machine.
Well, of course, the main problem of the entire Vesti family is the lack of a full-fledged automatic transmission. It was not by chance that there were only cars with mechanics on the test, the vasers perfectly understand the inferiority of their robot (AMT) and are trying to be unnecessary to the journalists. It remains to hope only for help from abroad. Either Vesta will receive a 4-speed Jatco machine, which began to install again on a grant, or the French will share the variator from Renault Kaptur.
Still ride.
On the road Vesta, the universal is practically no different from the sedan. The body turned out to be very tough and the car should be perfectly driving. Baranca with a regular electric powerliner is a sample of accuracy and informativeness. Vesta Cross above 25 mm (blasting wagon 178 mm) and it has had its influence. While you go calmly, the difference is practically not catching, but at the shocks there are a little deeper body rolls that result from not only from high suspension, but also because of the wider and chain tires Pirelli.
At the crossing cross, the cross is a little more wagon.

And at the congress from the asphalt, it is better to reset a bit. Low-profile 17-inch wheels are not too complaining of sharp irregularities, but, secondly, the increase in the ground clearance led to a reduction in the passage of the pen. On the drips of the road the wheels are still in the air.
When posting one wheel, the trunk easily opens, which indicates the sufficient stiffness of the body.
If the car is fixed in this position, the trunk will open perfectly, and it's great. However, from the point of view of passability, the reduction of the passage of the penalty is a unambiguous minus. So, if the needs in an enlarged road list are not too big, try to do the usual wizard wagon or think about the transition to more modest wheels, it is possible that the tires with off-road pattern are better fit. But this is the topic for a separate conversation when the time for all-wheel drive weta comes.
Will there be a four-wheel drive?
Lada-Vesta-SW-Cross
To the question in the forehead about the exit date of Vesta Cross with a full drive of the vase holder in Russian evasive. It is said that the market is unlikely to be ready to buy such a car in large volumes, but not yet confirmed demand, no production. But considering that the rear beam on Vesta is very similar to the similar from Lada Largus, and therefore Renault Duster, technically, such an opportunity is probably there. It remains only to dock the box not from Logan, but from the all-wheel drive duster, pick up the suitable length of the cardanov and adjust the coupling in the rear wheel drive. But considering that the building of the station wagon took 2 years from Togliatti, instead of the promised one, all-wheel drive Vesta will have to wait in the hope that remains in the fashion trend.
So choose?
Those who want to truly large trunk, unequivocally look at the larger Largus Largus, it will take almost twice as much later, and passengers will be more convenient. But in essence, Largus is a big Logan of the first generation, with all the consequences. Vesta - the choice of the driver who wants to get primarily a stylish and dynamic car, and the perfectly trimmed trunk and an enlarged road clearance is a pleasant bonus that highlights Vesta cross from the line of ordinary sedans. Well, in general, the hint understood.
We also add that Vesta Cross is a good signal that Lada ... (pah, ugh, ugh), maybe.
