Lada Iskra will be presented this year
The Tolyatti company «Steering Systems», a well-known supplier to AvtoVAZ, recently patented a housing for a new steering mechanism. This part is intended for the promising Lada Iskra model (in-house indexes LJO/BJO), which should replace the popular Lada Granta.
Information on the website «Steering systems» confirms this guess. The resource reports that mass production of the steering unit for the car designated as Lada Granta New is ready. It was under this code name that AvtoVAZ developed the future Lada Iskra until 2023.
The patented crankcase is a key element of the steering mechanism. The presence of this part in the patent database indicates that AvtoVAZ and its partners are actively preparing for mass production.
It is expected that the Lada Iskra will become a modern and affordable car that will replace the bestseller on the Russian market, Lada Granta. The new model should receive an updated design, an improved interior and an expanded list of options, while maintaining the affordable price and reliability inherent in Lada cars.
The presentation of the Lada Iskra is expected this year.
