Another car on an ancient platform in the AvtoVAZ range
AvtoVAZ is traditionally one of the leading automakers in terms of the antiquity of its model range, and the relaunch of Lada Largus next year will not improve the situation at all — in fact, this is the same first-generation Renault Logan on the B0 platform. As he told «Rossiyskaya Gazeta» director of product programs and projects at AvtoVAZ Oleg Grunenkov, production of Lada Largus with gasoline engines will resume in Russia in May 2024 — By that time, the Renault-Nissan B0 platform will be 20 years old.
Now in Izhevsk the installation of equipment is being completed and commissioning work is underway. Several large stamping parts have already been localized in the press production: roof, rear doors and wings.
Recall that previously the Lada Vesta was assembled in Izhevsk, but then the production of this model was transferred to the main assembly line in Togliatti, and the Largus assembly line, on the contrary, moved from Tolyatti to Izhevsk.
