What is known about the work on the project Lada Vesta Facelift

It is assumed that the Lada Vesta will receive a fresh exterior - new bumpers, headlights and lights, grille, trunk lid other form, as well as CDs with a modified design, the side of the body should remain the same. Washer nozzles (originally painted in color, later they stopped painting) "move" from the hood to the "frill" car, the Lada Vesta Sport has already received the update.


Lada Vesta will have a completely different and completely new interior with front panel, door panel and central tunnel floor. A feature of the cabin will be huge "floating" tablet multimedia system, which is integrated with the air conditioning unit.
At the bottom of the center console is provided for a great niche for the smartphone (becomes available wireless charging option). Change the design of a manual lever, and near the private section with cupholders, both cars a class above, is an electronic parking brake button and presumably selector washer selection Lada Ride Select motion mode. The seats and the armrest will remain the same, but the steering wheel to change in design and will be smaller, will be a combination of devices with two wells and a large display of the onboard computer. Change is also a form of deflectors, door handles and decorative elements.
Chassis modifications should not suffer, though restyling Lada Vesta may translate into B0 platform, the alliance Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi. The scheme is the same as in Lada Xray Cross, where the model combines the structure elements of Lada Vesta and B0 platform. The front suspension is applied independent suspension (similar to the used Vesta) with racks McPherson, L-shaped "vestovskimi" lever and an antiroll bar, and the rear "Loganovsky" semidependent beam. Also Lada Xray Cross was reinforced subframe and electric power steering.

The emergence of a restyled Lada Vesta is scheduled for later this year, although it is possible that AvtoVAZ will carry out its main trends for 2020 th.
