New details have appeared
After the official presentation of the newest Lada Iskra car, which was shown by AvtoVAZ in St. Petersburg, interesting technical details and details about the price appeared.
As No Limits reports directly from the event, the car shown to the public is pre-production, but the point is not at all that some touches have not yet been approved. It’s just that mass production hasn’t started yet, that’s why the cars are pre-production, but in the end «everything will look like this, plus or minus».
The car has a standard MacPherson strut front suspension and a beam at the rear. As previously reported, the engines and manual gearboxes were borrowed from the Lada Granta, and the CVT CVT transmission was installed the same as the Vesta. AvtoVAZ positions the model as something between its two bestsellers.
As for the permitted gasoline, AvtoVAZ recommends using AI-95, but also allows the use of AI-92. That is, in this regard, the car is similar to the Lada Vesta, since Granta is only allowed to use 95th.
Initially, the car will be produced on the same line as Granta. The price is expected to be around 1.1-1.2 million rubles, but the exact value will be announced later.
Sales should begin next year.
