Sedans and crossovers of classes C and D
Editor-in-Chief «Behind the wheel» Maxim Kadakov spoke about what cars will be produced at the AvtoVAZ plant under the new X brand, an image of which we published yesterday. He also published another (flat) version of the logo.
These are images from the Rospatent database. Cars will be produced under the new logo at the former Nissan plant in St. Petersburg, which is now part of the AvtoVAZ structure. The emblem «does not speak» – neither words nor a specific image are encrypted in it (such as the rook on the Lada emblem). Although the letter "X" is clearly readable. This logo is most similar to the logo of the Chinese company Xpeng.

At the same time, Kadakov immediately added that Xpeng had nothing to do with it: «Much cheaper cars will be produced in St. Petersburg– more expensive than Lada, but cheaper than Xpeng))) The contenders are known – These are cars from FAW, with which AvtoVAZ already has experience, and cars from Chery. As an option – also Dongfeng cars.
In addition, he published exclusive information that under this brand they will produce sedans and crossovers of classes C and D, which will not overlap with Lada cars either in size or price.
There has been no official announcement from AvtoVAZ yet. The application for the new trademark was filed only on January 11.
