Test drive LADA Vesta SW Cross: don’t get stuck on a snowy dirt road In the Samara region are changing not only the governors and region codes in the license plates of cars, but also views about what should be modern cars of domestic production. What convinced the experts of the portal “Avtosklad” and “Russian motor club” during a test drive of the LADA Vesta SW Cross. LADAVesta SW Cross universalNikolay Stepanov

We already pretty much talked about this Togliatti the new product, testing it in summer and winter, and on the highway, and off-road. But never in such harsh conditions, which gave the owners the Feb with abnormal and frequent blizzards. The best time to try in the LADA Vesta SW with the Cross prefix.

But first, recall that it is your own model of AVTOVAZ with the style, performance and character. With its production of changed meaning, which is embedded in the meaning of the word “quality” in relation to the products under the brand LADA. Even for “Grants” and “Kalina” — it was “the howling” box and the maximum speed, after which the entire plastic interior is starting to creak. For Vesta “quality” — it is smooth the gaps of body panels and the picture resolution of regular multimedia system. It is, however, excellent! The picture is clear and the reversing camera image is accompanied by a layout that responds to the helm. But back to the snow-covered suburbs and Vesta Cross.

The latter, of course, not the SUV. The lowest point of the front bumper is the chrome trim so Brody or primer with a deep track will not go unnoticed. But on a snow-Packed track, or the road clearance of 203 mm and rubber good enough to move confidently. But we must remember that the clutch pedal in a manual transmission is easy enough, which corresponds to the settings of the servo.

For all that the 122 HP the car is enough in almost all conditions: can be easily embedded Potok, leaving the secondary road, although, of course, the capacity for such a volume-level engines of the mid 90-ies. But Vesta is the most quiet Lada. The car has really good insulation. On the test was the version with the motor of 1.8 and both mechanical and robotized gearbox. And, regardless of the type KP, at city speeds the driver can talk with passengers back sofa, without raising his voice.

AVTOVAZ will release a “sport” modification of the LADA XRAY5058

Practical upholstery backrest — faux-leather plus an extra space for the feet: with the growth of one of our test drivers at 196 cm, he fits on the back of the sofa, not resting his knees in the back of the driver. Rear range has everything you need: separate heating of the sofa, USB connector and, in General, a feeling of very high quality-crafted interior. Steering wheel adjustable for height and reach. Even the plastic steering wheel looks great and also feels, as in the places grip the plastic molded under the perforated leather. However, the effect of the “donut” requires frequent interceptions. Electric power steering is clearly tuned for city usage. Stress appears with increasing velocity, but at Parking speeds easily stretch to an extreme position, because the wheel is empty and weightless.

We hope that the process improvements will continue, as long as you have something to fix. But the desired change relate primarily to convenience than of technical parameters that affect the behavior of the car.
