"Lada Vesta" (mechanics): owner feedback

It is hardly necessary to speak once again of distrustRussians to the domestic auto industry. Too many failures and errors were committed by engineers and designers. Nevertheless, in 2015 the premiere of the domestic car "Lada Vesta", which was to become a hit of sales, along with the crossover "X-Ray", took place. Let's take a closer look at the fact whether a car with mechanics costs its money. "Lada Vesta", reviews of which are already more than enough, is a rather interesting car both externally and internally.

Some general information

First of all, I would like to note thatautomatic transmission for "Vesta" is not as such. The management stated that if it was to be introduced, it would take several years. It is possible that sales will not go properly, so installing the automatic transmission will be generally inappropriate. Therefore now there is an opportunity to buy a car only on the mechanic. "Lada Vesta", which will be reviewed in this article, is really a great leap forward of the domestic auto industry. Of course, in order to catch up with European and Asian competitors, we will have to sweat, and it will take quite some time.

But now we can say thatcertain success was achieved. The design of the car attracts attention, but it is rather difficult to call it unusual. As for the interior, then there are a few more interesting details than outside. Regarding the technical part, it is an ordinary sedan, which is unlikely to be driven, because the motors are only 2: 1.6 and 1.6 liters from Nissan. Both are equipped with a manual transmission.

A little about the exterior of the car

The first impression of any caris formed by its appearance. As for "Vesta", its design is somewhat similar to the "Volvo". This is not surprising, because the development involved a former employee of Volvo. Nevertheless, there is something to see. One of the stylistic features is the presence of zigzagging stamping on the side of the car. As for optics, then there is a certain angularity, as well as elongation. The car has a predatory look, which is only a plus. As for the rear lights, they can be called quite ordinary. Although they could be done and somewhat more, as against the background of the massive rear of the car they look somewhat awkward.

Several redesigned designers and emblem. On the "Vesta" the boat became noticeably wider, and the sail was divided into several lines. In general, it perfectly adorns the bumper "Lada". Well, now let's go further and look into the car salon.

Briefly about the interior

As for the salon, the first impressiondepends on the equipment of the car. Of course, even in the basic configuration, there is everything you need. Nevertheless, the whole point is revealed in the most expensive version. There is also a modern multimedia system. Many motorists praise the sound and say that it came out very worthy. The wide touch panel in the center of the torpedo looks just fine. But it is needed here not only as a decoration, but for performing a whole series of tasks, such as sound control, navigation, etc.

Plastic designers used to the best of hardand durable. The seats are combined, made of fabric and leather. The dashboard also looks rich. Especially you pay attention to the color scale, which turned out to be quite successful. The combination of green and white looks great. Eyes do not get tired, because the colors are saturated, but not bright, and, if necessary, they can be adjusted. Most of the motorists were pleased with the interior, the reviews say this. "Lada Vesta" (mechanic) in the basic configuration does not have an electrical package. It is only available in the "Luxe", it's rather a minus, but it's worth waiting for.

"Lada Vesta" (mechanics): owner feedback

First and foremost, what they pay attention todrivers Vesta, this is the transmission. Many motorists would like to be able to purchase a car with an automatic gearbox. Unfortunately, at the moment there is no such possibility. Currently, a 5-step transmission is being installed, which was borrowed from Renault. Thanks to the use of the French IPCC, it was possible to significantly reduce the vibration and noise level, which directly affected the level of comfort in the car during the movement.

Also, drivers note that the ICIE from Renaultquite reliable and perfectly adapted for operation on the territory of the Russian Federation. True, the installation of such a transmission slightly affected the final cost of the car, but, in the opinion of the designers, it was worth it. Assembly of the manual is carried out at the Togliatti plant. Also in the future plan to install a robotic gearbox, which for a long time put on the "Grant". It is checked and proved to be the best.

The power unit of the car

Motors installed on the "Vesta" correspondto modern ecological norms of Euro-5, therefore it is not necessary to speak about their ecology again. Drivers are more interested in the reliability and choice of the engine. In the database there is an 8-valve internal combustion engine with a capacity of 87 horsepower. But most experienced drivers prefer to buy a car with a new 16-valve engine in volume of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 106 liters. from. According to many, this kind of power unit can be considered optimal. Top engine from Nissan Nissan on 1.6 liters can boast a capacity of 116 liters. with., but it will cost a little more.

Developers are already working on "Lada Vesta" 1.8(Mechanics). Reviews about this power unit can not be found, since it has not yet been released. As for the power, it is most likely that it will not exceed 130-140 liters. from. But this will be enough for a comfortable dynamic ride. In general, motorists prefer to choose a 1.6-liter engine with a capacity of 106 liters. from. He is not such a "vegetable" as 87 liters. with., but also easier to maintain, rather than a more powerful analog.

About complete sets

At present there are three complete sets for sale:

• "Classic";
• "Comfort";
• "Luxury".

The basic equipment is practically "empty" inplan stuffing car. On this very often motorists emphasize the attention of potential buyers. But even here, there are options such as L-shaped rear seat cushions, tilt steering, and passive and active safety systems. In the complete set of "Classic" is audio preparation.

Completion of "Comfort" does not differ much from the base,although there are some minor changes. More interesting is the luxury package. The car in this case is equipped with a rain sensor, heated side mirrors, seats, windows, and a parking sensor with a rear-view camera will appear. But this is not all. Most of all, the advanced audio system attracts a lot of settings. Many drivers who have already bought this car, are advised to spend on "Lux", about which leave appropriate reviews. "Lada Vesta" on the mechanics in the basic and maximum configuration - these are two different things.

Is it worth your money?

This question is of interest to potentialbuyers of "Lada Vesta." The fact is that the reviews you read can be confusing. Some drivers believe that for this money it is better to buy already proven "Solaris" or "Rio", while others are more inclined to the domestic car. If we talk about prices, today for about 640 000 rubles you can buy "Vesta" in the maximum configuration, and the same "Solaris" only in the database. But a completely different question - "What's better?" Domestic engineers tried to make the car competitive in this price range. Apparently, it turned out perfectly. After all, the quality of assembly here at a high level. This is partly due to the fact that the designers took part in the development of both Renault and Nissan. This allowed to create a "people's car", which would be very reliable and durable. Therefore, such a machine is definitely worth the money spent on it.

A bit about the benefits

Let's take a look at the responses of car owners. "Lada Vesta" on the mechanics, according to the majority, it is a relatively economical and unpretentious in maintenance car. As for fuel consumption, in the urban cycle it is about 10-11 liters. In fact, for the 1.6 engine this is not such a good indicator, but it can be called moderate. Also very often focus on the chassis. The car really responds well to the slightest movement of the driver. Suspension is reliable and "swallows" most of the roughness of the road surface. Also, motorists appreciated the clearance of 178 mm. This is extremely important in the conditions of car operation in the Russian Federation.

About the target audience

Before the designers and designers stoodquite a responsible task - to make sure that the car was in demand in a wide range of people. To achieve this is not so simple, but, as it turned out, it is quite possible. In the cabin the car is very spacious, despite its small dimensions, so it is perfect for family trips. At the same time, a modern salon with a good audio system and a stylish appearance is an excellent choice for young people. In general, the developers rely on the fact that the car will be bought by people from 25 to 45 years.

A few important details

Approximately in September 2017 is expected release"Lada Vesta" 1.8 on the mechanic. Comments of owners of cars with a 1.6-liter engine say that this car will become even more cheerful and cautious. But the appearance of an automatic box can somewhat change the situation. Even 1.6 has a very moderate appetite, and 1.8 with automatic transmissions will consume at least 15 liters per hundred. To this not every buyer of "Vesta" will be ready. After all, now still more valued economical cars, especially if you look at the price of gasoline.

Let's sum up the results

In general, turned out very sound domesticcar. This is said about the reviews. The new "Lada Vesta" (mechanic) now stands in the maximum configuration of about 640 000 rubles with a slight adjustment. If we talk about the intermediate and maximum configuration, the difference here is 50 thousand. But it's better to pay a little and enjoy in full measure what Russian designers prepared for us. It's good that the car did not get sharp criticism, so the project can not be called a failure. As further sales will go, it is not known. At the moment, Vesta has overtaken the Volkswagen Polo and is confidently holding the third place. The first place is occupied by "Solaris", and the second - "Kia Rio". Catch up with these brands will be extremely difficult, because they have already won the trust of millions of Russians.
