CloseLada Vesta station wagon Cross (SW Cross) in many ways stands apart in the model line russian company... Talk about this modification began immediately after the sales of Vesta sedan and X Ray started, and it was noted that Cross would appear immediately after a simple station wagon. And since the usual car was going to be put into production already in 2016, then those who were waiting for the Cross had only to be patient a little.
It is immediately clear that he made an indelible impression on the Lada bosses Volkswagen passat Alltrack, which sets the pace in this direction. Naturally, VAZ thought about it and came to the conclusion that it was not so difficult to take the Vesta station wagon, add a plastic body kit to it, put a top engine under the hood and give it the maximum configuration.
Story
But all the plans of the Russian automaker were confused by the blow to the economy as a result of sanctions and other factors. It is not surprising that the management of the auto concern seriously considered the possibility of abandoning plans for these modifications. And when information from Kolesa.ru got into the network, which happened in 2014, about the decision of the then head of AvtoVAZ, Bu Inge Andersson, to abandon plans to create a station wagon and, accordingly, his version of Cross, suspicions began to grow into confidence.
There were fears that Bu Inge would completely abandon the development of the station wagon and its version of the Cross.
Later, the journalists got hold of documents stating the start of the serial assembly of the car in August 2016, after which one could expect an early launch into the Cross series. However, the amended document contained only plans for a hatchback and a sedan.
The ambiguity of the situation was aggravated by various theories with which fans of the brand tried to explain the actions of the management of the concern. It was believed that the assembly of Vesta in such a body is being delayed due to the lack of free capacity or due to the rapid growth in the popularity of SUVs.
The fortune-telling stopped only when Steve Mattin and Boo Andersson invited media representatives to a closed demonstration of the station wagon and hatchback. Although it was forbidden to take pictures, there were minimal differences from the sedan, taking into account the new body, of course.
Many hoped that 2016 would be decisive, but the August MIAS was marked only by the demonstration of a cross-modification of the car, and it was a concept, so it was not worth expecting that it would go into production in the same form.
In this plot, a brief presentation of the concept of the station wagon Lada Vesta Cross is given
In any case, it became clear that they would be the first to start assembling a simple SW and only then the Lada Vesta Cross station wagon would go into production.
Representatives of Lada dealerships in Izhevsk.
On June 28, 2017, dealers went to Izhevsk to get acquainted with new models. This event was held by the marketing department of AvtoVAZ, and directly by its head, Alexander Bredikhin, who posted a photo of the event on Facebook.
Serial assembly and start of sales
2017 has become richer in new data. Photos and videos of testing the model on the roads, interviews, revelations of the plant management - all this spoke of the imminent start of the model's release. And there is. Officials from AvtoVAZ said that the serial assembly of the Lada Vesta wagon Cross will start in the second half. 2017. It is also clear that its production will start only after a regular carriage goes into production. And from September 19, 2017, dealers began to take orders for LADA Vesta SW and Vesta SW Cross.
Appearance
If you look closely, the body of the Cross is the same as that of a simple carriage, which, in turn, is similar to a sedan. The same headlights, front fenders, doors, wheel arches And so on. Naturally, the branded X-shaped side moldings are in place, as are the chrome moldings in the front end. Only the feed gives out the true purpose of the body. Only the front bumper is slightly different.
Differences in nuances, but they immediately catch the eye. This version received a plastic protective body kit in a circle and a corporate orange color called "Mars". At the back, the SW Cross sports a beautiful fifth door with shiny nameplates and a wing, a bumper framed by a light trim, as well as forked exhaust pipes that showcase the character of the car.
And here it is difficult not to agree with Steve Mattin, who bluntly stated that Cross's version does not fit into any framework. This is a car for a person who does not want to lose in practicality, but at the same time wants to get a bright and memorable car. And Lada Vesta SW Cross gives it all!
Salon
The saloon immediately remembers the sedan. Indeed, there are no significant revisions here. On the other hand, there are orange accents on the dashboard, seats and door cards. It must be admitted that such inserts look just great, especially against the background of black upholstery. The dashboard also stands out, the scales of which are also trimmed with orange color and hidden in deep wells.
However, there are some changes compared to the sedan. In particular, the second row has become more comfortable, which will certainly be appreciated by tall passengers, because the roof height in this part has been increased by 25 mm. The very same back of the rear sofa is laid out in two versions - in the proportion of 1/3 or 2/3.
Not bad and volume trunk lada Vesta SW Cross, which reaches 480 liters, taking into account niches. By the way, 95 liters of volume were obtained by creating a raised floor. In addition, the trunk is very convenient to use, as it has niches for small items, three nets for securing luggage, a double floor and an organizer. To open the fifth door, just press a button on it.
Technical data
After the start of accepting orders for the car, the technical characteristics of the Lada Vesta SV Cross became finally known.
Overall dimensions
Thanks to the plastic body kit, the dimensions of the car, in comparison with a simple station wagon, have slightly increased. In addition, the Cross version received a noticeably higher ground clearance, which allows it to feel more confident when exiting the highway.

The difference between them is clearly shown in the table.

Motors
Despite the fact that initially rumors were actively circulated that the Lada Vesta SV Cross will receive only a top-end 122-horsepower engine, this is not the case. The car is offered with two power units:
- 1.6 l, 106 l. from.;
- 1.8 l, 122 l. from.
This is the VAZ-21129 engine, which is a version of the VAZ-21127 engine upgraded to Euro-5 requirements. The compression ratio was lowered, the intake was slightly redesigned and a new firmware was added.
As a result, the power was 106 liters. from. at 5800 rpm, and the torque reached 148 Nm at 4200 rpm. This motor works exclusively in tandem with a 5-speed manual. He does not demonstrate miracles of dynamics, but this is not required from a station wagon. Acceleration to hundreds takes 12.6 seconds, which is quite good.
The VAZ-21179 engine is based on the VAZ-21126 unit. It has more volume by 200 cm³, a new cylinder head, a variable valve timing complex from the INA brand, improved injectors, an oil pump, a pump and other components have been used.
SW Cross motors
All this made it possible to increase its output to 122 liters. from. at around 5900 rpm, adding a good thrust of 170 Nm, already available at 3700 rpm.
Such a Lada Vesta SV Cross gains a hundred in 11.2 seconds. and 13.3 sec. depending on the gearbox - mechanical or AMT, respectively.
Transmission
There are two gearboxes for the model:
- 5-speed manual transmission;
- Robotic AMT.
There is no classic automaton. In addition, the robot is installed only on versions with a top 122 hp engine.
Suspension
A simple Vesta station wagon received a suspension from a sedan with MacPherson struts on the front axle. But there are changes at the rear - stiffer springs and other shock absorbers to compensate for the changes in weight distribution.
As for the LADA Vesta SW Cross, other springs, shock absorbers and silent blocks are used in its chassis, since the car has not only high ground clearancebut also stands on 17-inch drives.

In the summer of this year, the release of a completely new model of the Togliatti concern Lada Vesta Cross was launched. After successfully appearing on russian market sedan, no one doubted that more than one new product created on the same platform would follow. But AvtoVAZ's plans were spoiled by difficult economic and political situations, so the launch of new modifications of Lada Vesta had to be postponed for a whole year.
Interesting!
The station wagon Lada Vesta Cross as a concept was first presented to the public in 2016 at the Moscow Motor Show. The striking car did not leave anyone indifferent, but everyone understood that a production model could be very different from an exhibition one. The promised appearance of a five-door body in the Lada Vesta family in the fall of 2016 did not happen. The Internet was full of photos of the Lada Vesta Cross concept, but there was no official information about the fate of the novelty.
Since 2017, news and new photos of Lada Vesta Cross have periodically appeared, which casual eyewitnesses met “in camouflage” on public roads. According to the latest data, it was already possible to imagine what the new station wagon from the VAZ.
Overall dimensions and appearance of the station wagon
The new Lada Vesta model will be assembled at the same plant in Izhevsk as the sedan. It follows that both of these models will be united not only by a single design, but also by a design. To avoid unnecessary costs for the development of a new body, it was decided to leave the majority structural elements and parameters unchanged.
The dimensions and dimensions of the new model have remained almost untouched. But due to the plastic body kit of the off-road version of the station wagon, its length and width have increased by a couple of centimeters.
On a note!
The main difference and advantage of the Cross Vesta was its clearance that had grown to an impressive 200 mm. Height and wheelbase the car remained the same.
Station wagon Lada Vesta SW Cross, this is how this model will be officially called, took over all the basic style of the X-shaped Vesta sedan and X Ray. The front of the car does not differ significantly from previous versions and Lada Vesta Cross concept. The impressive radiator grille, an unusual bumper with fog lights deepened in its niches, and stamped recesses on the side of the car have been preserved.
The wheel size for the Cross version is different. Unlike the sedan and the usual station wagon, which feature basic 15-inch stamping and 16-inch molding in top-end equipment, the SUV will be equipped with 16 and 17-inch alloy wheels, depending on the configuration.
Interesting!
The serial Lada Vesta Cross will have an interesting accessory - a graceful antenna on the roof in the form of a shark fin, like BMW models. The concept unveiled in 2016 has not yet been equipped with such an innovation.
Technical equipment of the novelty
As already indicated in many media sources, the new off-road model AvtoVAZ will take the main units and systems from its "little brother". The suspension will receive a reinforced structure, but the same front-wheel drive... The highly anticipated 4x4 formula fans domestic cars will never see. In the future, the production of an all-wheel drive version of one of the models of the Vesta family is not excluded.
Engine and transmission
As a power filling, the station wagon will receive the same two engine options that are installed on the sedan. The base unit with a volume of 1.6 liters and issuing 106 horse power quite enough for a city five-door. And for the Cross-version, the top-end 122-horsepower 1.8-liter engine paired with a mechanical "five-stage" is more suitable, but for fans of the "automatic" the developers should provide for the presence of a "robot".
Driving performance
The technical characteristics of the Lada Vesta Cross will not differ significantly from the parameters of the four-door version. But a modified body and increased ground clearance negatively affect the speed capabilities of the car, as well as its fuel consumption.
On a note!
Changed body weight distribution and shifted center of gravity increase the acceleration time to 100 km / h and the braking distance. To improve driving performance Cross-version of the station wagon, AvtoVAZ decided to install the rear disc brakes, not drums. With this equipment, the handling has improved and the acceleration and braking of the car have become more efficient.
Salon interior
After the presentation of the concept at the auto show, many motorists were interested in what the interior of the new item would be. After some comments on the quality of the finishing materials of the Lada Vesta sedan, the developers tried to correct their shortcomings. At the beginning of 2017, images of the station wagon's interior appeared on the Internet, as well as the decoration of its maximum equipped cross-version.
Visual transformation of the interior
The design and placement of instruments and controls remained unchanged. The front panel has become smoother. The plastic inlays on the doors and the front console have changed from silver to bright orange. The same color was chosen for the bodywork of the Lada Vesta Cross exhibition concept and for the combined seat upholstery.
This orange accent makes the car stand out on the road. For those who do not want to attract increased attention of others, they can order a car in a standard version without bright inserts. Interior trim materials have changed. The quality of the plastic of the front panel and door trim has improved. Due to the modified roof configuration, the space for passengers in the second row has increased.
Additional equipment
Besides the new color scheme, the Lada Vesta Cross salon has received some updates:
- front armrest with storage function for small items;
- three-level heated seats in the first row;
- heated second-row seats;
- 12-volt socket and USB port for rear passengers;
- the presence of a microlift of the glove box;
- armrest for second row passengers, equipped with cup holders;
- new bright backlight dashboard;
- compact organizer for small items in the glove compartment;
- additional ceiling lighting for rear passengers.
Luggage compartment
The luggage compartment was not ignored either. In the standard, it has a volume like a sedan - 480 liters, but with folded rear seats luggage storage space increases to 825 liters. In addition, the luggage compartment volume can be increased due to a niche for storing small items with a volume of 95 liters, located under the raised floor.
The trunk compartment is equipped with the most useful devices:
- two plastic pallets that fit into a special niche in the floor;
- four hooks for attaching bags or bags with things;
- compartment for accommodating containers up to 5 liters;
- small compartment for storing tools;
- several additional nets that can be used to secure luggage to prevent it from tipping over or moving around the compartment while driving;
- additional lighting;
- 12 V socket.
The disadvantages of the station wagon's trunk include the absence of an electric drive for the fifth door and an uneven floor with the backs of the second row of seats folded. Given the tendency of AvtoVAZ to refine its creations when a restyled version appears on sale, these shortcomings can be corrected.
On a note!
In many European countries, the station wagon is the most popular, as it has good speed characteristics, like a sedan, but has a lot of space for passengers and luggage. Lada Vesta Cross is as close as possible to the reference type of car "for life" thanks to the competent organization of the internal space of the car.
Test drive Lada Vesta Cross
A year has passed since the presentation of the concept of the off-road version of Lada Vesta. During this time, a lot of information about this car has appeared on the Internet, including a test drive video. We tested the novelty in a beautiful mountainous area with a predominance of off-road. Spectacular photos of the orange concept against the backdrop of endless mountains and hills emphasize the off-road capabilities of this car.
In early summer 2017, photo reviews of new station wagon and cross models were presented on the official Lada website. Again, beautiful views of mountains and reservoirs served as the background of the images. But the official tests of the models are not yet freely available on Internet portals. They will appear very soon and in large numbers, as soon as the start of sales of new items in the Russian Federation begins.
Prices and configuration
The most coveted information about the Lada Vesta Cross car is the release date and price. But at the moment there is no exact data on this score yet. Focusing on the sedan's pricing, it can be assumed that the 2017 trim level for the cross-version will also affect the cost of the model. Given the rich equipment of the SUV, the price of the Lada Vesta Cross will significantly exceed the price level of the four-door version.
Buying an ordinary station wagon will cost the buyer 40-50 thousand rubles more than a sedan in a similar configuration. This means that the basic version of the five-door will cost about 600 thousand. Buy Lada Vesta Cross cheaper than 700 thousand rubles will not work. And how much the maximum version of the SUV costs, one can only guess. Fans of the domestic auto industry hope that the cost of the most expensive VAZ model will not exceed 800 thousand rubles.
Sales in Russia
Second exciting question after determining the cost of the novelty, sales start in Russia. Based on the official data of VAZ representatives, the start of sales of Lada Vesta Cross is scheduled for autumn 2017. The car platforms with Vesta station wagons caught under the camera lenses of random eyewitnesses testify to their imminent appearance on the roads of the country, possibly already in early September.
New AvtoVAZ cars of 2017-2018 are station wagons Lada Vesta SW and Lada Vesta SW Cross. The technical characteristics of the cars and their configuration have already been fully prepared in order to start their serial production.
Designed by Vesta SW and SW Cross
It seems to many that the body of a station wagon should have a rather modest appearancebut this is not the case at all. AvtoVAZ's new cars are initially positioned as dynamic, fairly fast and stylish car models, and not the station wagons familiar to many for transporting various goods.
The letters SW, which should directly indicate that these car models have a universal body, are only in the name of the car - they are not on the body.
VAZ novelty salon
The interior of the new car model is also quite sporty and made of high quality and reliable material. Sufficiently deep seats are made in a sporty style with drawings in the form of the letter X.
A multifunctional steering wheel is installed in the cabin, which can be adjusted to the maximum in a convenient way for the owner vehicle... The salon is spacious and comfortable enough. It has a large number of additional elements that are aimed at improving the comfort of the car driver and his passengers.
Overall dimensions of the new body Lada Vesta SW and SW Cross
The body of new car models from AvtoVAZ has an average length of 4410 mm and a width of 1764 mm, as well as a wheelbase of 2635 mm. Ground clearance of the new model auto Lada The Vesta SW has a value of 178 mm, and the ground clearance of the SW Cross model is 203 mm, which is quite a lot for a station wagon.
The development of these car models in the manufacturer company is engaged in a special group of qualified designers, led by Steve Mattina. The station wagons of the new model turned out to be quite stylish and to some extent compact when compared with previous models of cars from AvtoVAZ.
Complete set of new Lada models

In profile, the car looks no less impressive: a sloping sports roof with roof rails silver color, plastic pads along the entire side of the car (they perform both decorative and protective functions), and wheels, the size of which is clearly at least 17 inches (more accurate information is not yet available), with wheels of a rather original and ideal design that fits into the overall style of design.
At the rear, an attractive tailgate and stylish lights give the car a modern look. The back of the model is somewhat reminiscent of a shark fin.

You can see a lot inside common features with the sedan West, however, the identity of the salon cannot be denied.
In front of the driver there is a comfortable three-spoke steering wheel, “recessed” instruments and control keys for various options.
Salon Lada Vesta wagon Cross looks more "lively", thanks to bright inserts on the seats and a dashboard with a 7-inch screen.
Particularly noteworthy is the three-color seat upholstery: black fabric is diluted with inserts in white and red. For the convenience of the driver and front passenger - a wide armrest.
There is no data on the volume of the trunk yet, but judging by the photo, it will be convenient to use the luggage compartment: backdoor wide, so there will be no difficulties in loading and unloading. In the trunk there is a perfectly flat floor with installed runners, which allow you to securely fix the load. The design is designed in such a way that protruding arches will not conceal the interior space luggage compartment... If necessary, the back of the rear seat folds down, allowing you to increase the amount of free space, which can be useful when transporting bulky goods.

There is still no exact information about the characteristics of the Lada Vesta Cross, but with a high degree of probability the car will receive the same engines that were provided for the X Ray and Vesta sedans, namely, a domestic gasoline engine with a volume of 1.6 and 1.8 liters ( their capacity is 106 and 126 liters. from. respectively), as well as the foreign unit Nissan HR16, with a capacity of 114 liters. from.
The engines will work in tandem with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 5-range robotic box gear.

Lada Vesta wagon release date and photo price, characteristics: official release date and approximate price
The final price of Lada Vesta Cross will be announced closer to the start date of sales, that is, not earlier than the summer of 2017. The cost of Lada Vesta Cross station wagon will be higher than the price of the sedan. Most likely for a car in basic configuration you will have to pay at least 600,000 rubles.
In an interview, the director of AvtoVAZ noted that Vesta Universal will cost about 800,000 rubles at all, but this information is unofficial. In addition, it is not clear what exactly Nicolas Maure had in mind: it is one thing if 800 thousand is the price tag of a model with automatic transmission, and quite another if this amount is set for a complete set with "mechanics". In general, it is easier to wait for official information than to guess.
The production of the car was planned to begin in September 2016, but with the appointment of a new management, everything changed: company representatives said that the model would not be able to get onto the conveyor until the beginning of 2017. The main reason for the delay was the problem with the suppliers of components. Sales start approximately three months after the start of production.
It is also not clear what the vehicle will be equipped with. It is possible that there will be three of them by analogy with the sedan.
