But Granta Sport is still produced
As you know, «sports» Versions of Lada cars are produced by VAZ's subsidiary Lada Sport. Last year they started assembling Lada Granta Sport there, then Vesta Sportline joined them. But as it turns out now, the release of the sporty «Vesta» stopped.
«VAZ's subsidiary, the Lada Sport company, is now temporarily producing only Lada Granta Sport cars. Vesta Sportline is not produced. What is surprising is the almost complete absence, compared to previous times, of commercial products at the enterprise site: either everything has been shipped, or they are not collecting enough», — Avtograd News public insiders told.
Why the production of Sportline was stopped — unknown, but previously dealers and insiders noted that these cars were not particularly popular. Perhaps due to the rather high cost. Sportline is produced from the bodies of the regular Vesta, and it is possible that now all the bodies remain on the main conveyor to be equipped with new units — 1.8 EVO engine and Chinese CVT. As insiders reported, VAZ marketers have high hopes for the new version of Vesta.
