Last week, AVTOVAZ began mass production of the second generation Lada Vesta. Experts are sure that, despite some disadvantages (for example, the lack of versions with an automatic transmission), the car will be in demand on the market.
At the same time, the consumer expects more from AVTOVAZ, in particular, he wonders when the Lada version with all-wheel drive will appear. There is nothing to please yet: “The Vesta platform does not imply the presence of all-wheel drive,” said project manager Oleg Grunenkov.

“If the management of the company sets us the task of introducing an all-wheel drive system, then it will be a completely different car, because the platform will completely change,” he said.
In the meantime, the configuration of the floor of the body, the location of the units and the semi-independent rear suspension impose too many restrictions on the designers to make all four wheels drive.
Earlier, the head of AvtoVAZ said that investments in the amount of at least 30 billion rubles are needed to bring cars with all-wheel drive to the market. “Behind the wheel” can be read in Viber
