Last photo of the new product before the official premiere
Today, in a few hours, the official premiere of the Lada Iskra will take place at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, but in the meantime, Autonews has published a photo of a fragment of the premiere car. And there's something interesting in this picture: it turns out that the Iskra will be available in crimson.
You can’t say that this is a completely new color for AvtoVAZ — Previously, the Lada Granta was painted in the same (or similar) color. But after the sanctions of 2022 and the departure of suppliers of imported paints and varnishes from Russia, this color disappeared from the palette. It is not yet clear whether the plant is going to return crimson to the color scheme, or whether it was chosen only for the premiere car.
Lada Iskra, according to preliminary data, will be equipped with the same engines as the Lada Vesta. The car will also receive a Chinese 6-speed manual transmission and CVT (but not the same as the Vesta). The launch of Lada Iskra into production will take place at the beginning of 2025.
