It took VAZ almost a year to transfer production from the Lada Izhevsk plant to the main production site in Togliatti – its capacities are higher and more in line with market demands, the company’s management believes.
Now the last adjustment of technological processes is underway, and in May the first mass-produced cars should go along the Togliatti conveyor.

It is these cars that after some time we will see in the showrooms of official Lada dealers. What will these cars be? This was told by the editor-in-chief of “Behind the wheel” Maxim Kadakov.
Expert opinion

– Despite the prefix NG (new generation), this is not a new model, but a restyling. Changed bumpers, grille, headlights became LED. Inside — a fresh instrument panel, steering wheel, door cards.
Technical innovations were not originally planned. But in the new realities, they have become inevitable. At first, an eight-valve 90-horsepower 1.6 engine, which was not previously offered, will be installed under the hood.
Versions with 16-valve engines will appear in late spring and early summer. Well, the return of the modification with the variator will occur only next year.
Spring will be rich in new items: here are five more models expected in Russia. “Behind the wheel” can be read in Viber.
