Basic equipment of "Lada Vesta": photos and characteristics

Many automobile experts call Lada West a new hope for the domestic car industry. In 2016, this domestic sedan received the title of the new year, so there is definitely something to see. Let's take a look at the basic equipment of "Lada Vesta", the technical characteristics of the car and other features. Many were waiting for the appearance of this machine, but were the expectations of the majority justified?

They learn from mistakes

For too long, the domestic auto industry was half asleep. All attempts to create something worthy in the end did not succeed. Take, for example, "Grant", on which high hopes were placed. This car, despite its considerable cost, lags behind the budgetary foreign car both in terms of the technical characteristics of the power unit, and in equipment and design. But the designers did not give up and made a new attempt, releasing "Vesta" in the light.

The main task facing the developers is to create a competitive model that is similar in its technical characteristics to the main analogues of the class. Judging by the numerous reviews of motorists, this time everything turned out. Complete sets of "Lada Vesta", of which only 3, allow you to choose the option on your pocket, although the difference between them is insignificant. Nevertheless, for its class cars are equipped with more than worthy.

Main advantages

First of all, I would like to talk about the strengths of the car. Many drivers who bought "Vesta", highlight its following advantages:

• Decent visibility. All directions are viewed without problems, and the side mirrors are impressive in size.
• Spacious and comfortable interior. Three adults are placed behind;
• Responsive management. The car, according to drivers and experts, is excellent.
• The high ground clearance is 178 mm. This is an extremely important characteristic for the operation of a car in the Russian Federation.
• I liked the design of the new sedan .

As experts note, the first impression depends a lot on the configuration. "Lada Vesta" in the database and the suite are two completely different things. But we'll talk about this a little later.

Basic grievances

As for the shortcomings, there are, unfortunately, plenty of them. Most attention is focused on the absence of noise insulation. Indeed, the interior of the car is noisy, especially at high engine speeds. On the dry road in the cabin with closed windows, the clocks of thorns are distinctly heard. Of course, if we compare it with other domestic cars, then there is noise. But for 640 000 rubles in the suite you could try and get better.

As noted above, the handling of the new "Lada" at a good level. This immediately affected the rigidity of the suspension. But if small irregularities are passed without problems, then more serious potholes are felt distinctly. Also, drivers did not like the robotic checkpoint, which is often called stiff and "dumb". About the automatic speech is not yet. As for the mechanics, then there are no complaints, because it was borrowed from "Reno".

"Lada Vesta": characteristics, complete sets

In technical terms, the car is similar to analogues in this price range. The choice of power units is small: in all, three ICEs are proposed, each 1.6 liters capacity of 87, 106 and 114 liters. from. Soon, the release of 1.8 is planned, but when this happens, it remains a mystery. The cars are equipped with a mechanical five-speed gearbox, and also now produces a robotic box, previously used on the "Grant". Front-wheel drive sedan with a 1.6-liter 106-liter engine. from. In a mixed cycle consumes about 10.3 liters. Appetite for "Vesta" is moderate.

As for the complete sets, there are only three:

• Classic".
• Comfort.
• Suite.

Besides these bundles, there are about 29 additional options, but we'll talk about this a little later. Now consider the equipment in more detail.

Lada Vesta: basic equipment

The first cars produced in 2015 could be called almost "empty." The developers drew attention to this and in 2016 made some changes to the standard equipment of the car. What pleased most of all, so this price, which remained at the same level.

In the database there is an airbag for the driver and front passenger, as well as heated seats and side mirrors. In addition, the list of standard equipment includes a large number of passive and active safety systems. This is ABS with an additional brake booster, stability control, distribution of braking forces, traction control system, assistance in starting on the rise and much more. The new "Lada Vesta" kitting a classic costs about 545,000 rubles.

Reviews of motorists about the basic layout

Many drivers who bought "Vesta" in 2015, bypassed the complete set of classic, because then its equipment was not so rich. For example, an air conditioner and a cooled glove compartment were added to the base only in 2016. Therefore, the owners who bought Vesta in 2015 can count on free installation of these options.

In essence, censures arise for the complete absence of noise insulation. It is as it were, but for such money it could be done better. Many drivers were disappointed by the lack of a multimedia system. Audiopreparation, of course, is available, but there is absolutely no sense from it until the car is under warranty. If you want music, pay money. That's the way to regard the lack of multimedia. But in the suite with this no problem. The center of the torpedo flaunts a huge touch screen with a bunch of settings. Therefore, the basic equipment of motorists respond mixed. There is something, there is something, in fact, as in many other budget foreign cars.

Comfort package

First of all, I want to note that the difference in price between the base and the middle layout is quite small. It is about 50 thousand rubles. The matter is also that comfort provides the possibility of installing additional options.

As for the engine, then there is still the same 1.6-liter power unit for 106 liters. from. Paired with a five-speed mechanics. Of the pleasant options will be a multimedia system that will read flash drives. This is more convenient, because many prefer to listen not only to radio, but also music from the phone. Another nice option - parktronic. Contrary to the formed opinion, the help at a parking is useful not only to beginning drivers, but also to skilled motorists. With the combination of comfort, it will be possible to connect the optimum option. In this case, alloy wheels of the 16th radius are installed and the windscreen is heated.

Luxury Package

Such a car will cost about 650 000 rubles. But it's worth it, because the number of additional options that increase comfort, is large enough. Take, for example, a full-fledged multimedia system with a large touch screen. But the "multimedia" option will cost extra money. Of course, the 7-inch touchscreen is worth it. After all, it allows you to use a rear-view camera, navigation system and much more. Also, a complete set of "Lada Vesta" can boast of the presence of cruise control. This is really a step forward for the domestic car industry.

Also, buyers will be available assembly "style". It includes a large number of external changes to the car, from overhead thresholds to stickers on the body. In general, this option definitely will appeal to fans of tuning. If we consider that the difference between the classic and luxury collections is about 100 000 rubles, then it is definitely worth overpaying. Even some details of interior trim in the maximum quality set by an order of magnitude higher.

Benefits seen during operation

Of course, it's possible to notice the advantages of a car that catches your eye right away, for this test drive is not required at all, this concerns the shortcomings of the interior and exterior. Another thing is that some important details are clarified only during the operation of the car.

Most often, drivers pay attention to the quality work of the braking system and electronics. Drivers put a solid four on this criterion. As for the trunk, it turned out much more room than one might think, especially if you take into account the small dimensions of the car: as much as 480 liters, which will allow you to transport even bulk cargo. Also, experts and drivers emphasize the rather good work of the air conditioner. Of course, the engine starts to work a little "bluntly", but it is quite common for many cars. Also, many were pleasantly surprised by competent ergonomics. Everything is where it should be. Simply and uncomplicated, but very convenient. Pleases and wide functionality, especially if you have "Lada Vesta" the maximum configuration.

Disadvantages seen with the test drive

The first and the main thing, which is most often noticed, is a noisy motor. But here everything is relative. After all, someone moved to the "Lada" after the "Mercedes", and someone - from 2110. For some, the engine is noisy, for others - more than quiet. Another nuance - a bad seal under the hood. Because of this, there is constantly getting dirt. But in 2016 AvtoVAZ eliminated this problem.

The remaining shortcomings are mostly related to the salon. For example, there is no place for a cell phone. Many were very upset, because it was not so difficult to come up with something. Also there is no plafond for the rear passengers. He has competitors, and Vesta does not. The plastic starts to creak only after several thousand kilometers, so many people do not notice the test drive of this shortcoming, it manifests itself after a time after the purchase of the car.

Let's sum up the results

Of course, ideally it is worth buying Lada West in the luxury suite. But for some it's too expensive, in this case you can take comfort. Many expected that the creation of domestic engineers will cost a bit less. That is why they often prefer the same "Solaris" or "Rio", which are the main competitors of "Vesta". With a slight difference in price, Japanese cars look more profitable. It's not because they are better or more comfortable, they just have been tested for a long time and are considered very reliable and unpretentious. But even now you can safely say that the domestic novelty has taken its niche, having outstripped the sales of Polo in recent years. So we sorted out the car "Lada Vesta". The basic equipment that is included in it, and how it differs from more expensive layouts, you also know. The choice is always for the buyer. Even the cheapest version of "Vesta" will please, if you love your car.
