Lada Vesta
At the same time, the Lada Vesta car is not a converted model of Nissan or Renault, but AvtoVAZ's own development.
The body of the car is an all-metal, carrying type sedan. In the future, production will be launched with two body types: hatchback and station wagon. On the basis of the station wagon, the Cross version will be produced - with increased ground clearance and protective pads on the doors, bumpers, fenders and sills. The concept model was shown at the Moscow Automobile Exhibition in 2015.
Lada Vesta Cross Concept
The power unit is located in front of the car, transversely.
The engine for the basic configuration of the VAZ 21129 is a 16-valve engine with a working volume of 1.6 liters, which develops a maximum power of 106 liters. With. A modification with a Nissan model HR16 engine with a capacity of 114 hp is also planned. With. This engine will be the most powerful in the Lada Vesta family. Such an engine is already installed on other cars of the Nissan-Renault alliance (for example, for a Nissan Sentra car assembled at a Russian plant). In the future, a budget version of the car with an 8-valve engine with a capacity of 87 liters is provided. With. model VAZ 11189.
Control system for all engines with electric throttle and electronic gas pedal. The engines meet the environmental standard of at least Euro 5.
There are three transmission options for the car. Initially, modifications with mechanical and automated units will be produced. Manual Transmission (ITUC) - five-speed, JH3 models developed by Renault, made in one crankcase with main gear and differential. The clutch release drive is hydraulic.
Automated manual transmission (AMCP, more often it is called robotic) provides gear shifting without driver intervention, depending on vehicle speed, engine speed and load.
Planned transmission option with continuously variable automatic transmission (AKP) - variator.
Drives - shafts with constant velocity joints transmit torque from the power unit to the front drive wheels. The front suspension is independent, MacPherson type. Rear suspension on two trailing arms connected by an elastic transverse beam, with coil springs and hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers.
