↑ Innovations in painting
Attention! Modifications of Lada Vesta have a warranty against body corrosion from the manufacturer for 6 years.
New technological methods and materials make it possible to achieve durable paintwork.
The use of galvanic treatment of the body at the initial stage increased resistance to through corrosion by 10 times compared to the previous method. Cataphoretic primer means using tricationic phosphate as a protective film and adhesion using an electrolytic reaction.
The degreasing process is carried out after cleaning the metal roughness in chambers or baths. To apply the phosphate layer, the product is immersed in a galvanic bath. A negative charge is applied to the metal parts; the primer solution is exposed to a positive charge. The phosphate compound settles on the body, forming a strong adhesion to the metal particles.
At the next stage, the body is washed in a bathtub or in a chamber. The final stage of priming is a drying chamber, after which the paintwork is applied to the car body. It is then dried, inspected and defects eliminated, after which the finished product enters the assembly line.

Exclusive package palette
In the fall of 2021, a new modification of the sedan called exclusive became available to the buyer. This variation can be recognized by its chrome door handles, 17-inch alloy wheels and a unique badge on the trunk. However, the changes affected most of the interior decoration.
The exclusive package includes an expanded list of options, the list of which includes a rear view camera, climate control, 4 airbags and many other devices. The cost of a car starts at 764,000 rubles.
The car is offered in 9 different colors:
- Karfagen (gray beige);
- Serdolic (red);
- White Ice (glacial white);
- Blues (dark blue);
- Phantom (blue-gray);
- Pluto (gray);
- Platinum (silver);
- Black Pearl (black pearl);
- Angkor (brown).
Exclusive solutions for the CNG version
This year, VAZ engineers also presented a new model LAda Vesta CNG.
A distinctive feature of the car is its dual-fuel engine, capable of running on both gasoline and methane. The 1.6-liter engine was equipped with methane gas. Visually, the car does not differ from the standard modification, but some details are visible in the interior. A switch from one type of fuel to another will be located on the center console, and the level of methane consumption and gas range will be displayed as a function of the on-board computer. The 90-liter tank is located in the trunk, thereby reducing its useful volume to 390 liters. When driving on methane, engine power and torque drop by 10 units. However, with two tanks fully charged, the car can travel more than 1,000 kilometers. At the same time, the cost per kilometer of travel when driving on methane will be 1 ruble.
The model will be assembled at a plant in Izhevsk, the same place where other variations of the car are assembled. The gas version is available in the following colors:
- silver;
- black;
- grey;
- blue;
- white;
- red;
- Navy blue;
- brown;
- beige.
Design plans for the future
According to management statements, the concern is not going to stop there. Following the latest modifications, it is planned to release an off-road station wagon with all-wheel drive and a 4x4 wheel arrangement. It is believed that the appearance of the model will change, and its body will acquire unique touches.
Currently, the most expensive Exclusive package is available only for the sedan body type. However, soon it is planned to launch civilian and off-road station wagons in the Exclusive configuration on the market. The exterior of such cars is also subject to changes.
The same can be said about methane modification. Only the sedan is currently available in showrooms. But the latest news suggests that the appearance of station wagons with a bi-fuel methane engine is not far off. Their design will also differ from the usual design. So AvtoVAZ designers still have plenty of work to do.
↑ Reviews of the red Lada
Car enthusiasts speak positively about the red Vesta.
Valeria, Moscow:
- “I chose the Lada Vesta in carnelian color and am very pleased. I see my car in the parking lot from afar among the white-gray-black massif. She reminds me of a bright and beautiful toy that accidentally fell into a dull company of monotonous companions. Lada is especially good on a sunny day. When I walk up to my car, my mood always lifts.”
Maxim, Ekaterinburg:
- “I thought for a long time what color to choose when buying Vesta. I looked through all the photos of sedans and decided to take red. Friends tried to dissuade me from saying that cars of this color were driven by women. I think it is a prejudice that men should drive cars that are either black, white or neutral. In our climate zone, where it is often cloudy, especially in autumn and winter, my Lada enlivens the city landscape. It can be seen far away on the roadway and has a positive effect on my mood. I don’t regret taking a car of this color.”
Karina, Voronezh:
- “I don’t like monotony and when everything fits the same “comb.” I dreamed of a car that would be different from similar models. The red and pink Lada Vesta is my embodiment of this dream. I like it so much that I can’t imagine ever having to change it. The coloring is very good. It has both depth and shine. In other words, I cannot call her like shining Vesta. I prefer red tones in clothes, so my Ladochka and I are in complete harmony.”

Svetlana, Rostov-on-Don:
- “Every morning my swallow greets me with such a vibrant shine that I get into the car in high spirits. I like everything about it: the design, the color, the way it listens to the steering wheel, and the way it picks up speed. When others criticize Vesta, I don't understand them. Perhaps I was luckier, and my car is more successful in execution. I've been driving for a year now, and so far I have no complaints. I wish everyone to be as lucky as I was.”
