Major changes have taken place in the cabin.
The auto.mail.ru resource has published the first review of the new Lada Vesta NG, listing the features of the car, which is about to go on sale.
There have been changes in the exterior. The headlights are fully LED, and the Cross versions have a honeycomb grille. The overall length has increased by 30 mm (for Cross – by 21 mm).
The main change in the new Lada Vesta is the interior. Buyers – and there are already a whole army of them, because more than 600 thousand Wests have been produced – are satisfied with the size of the cabin, but not with the quality of its finish. Therefore, the main efforts were thrown precisely on the interior decoration. The plastic of the front panel is now soft, new door cards have appeared, which not only look better and are more pleasant to the touch, but also expanded the space in the shoulders by 5-8 mm. Pockets have finally appeared in the rear doors of Lada Vesta. The upholstery of the seats has been changed, new colors have been added – artificial nubuck in a combination of beige and black is especially good. And the main thing that Vesta received is a multimedia complex with a 10-inch screen and support for all Yandex services. This is music, and navigation, and a voice assistant, and the route can be displayed on the screen in front of the driver – very convenient.

The first review of Lada Vesta NG has been published
It is also noted that the instrument panel has several options for displaying information. The developers promised that the functionality of the Lada Vesta NG system will continue to expand, and updates will be installed either via a USB modem or via Wi-Fi from a smartphone.
But there is still work to be done: the picture from the rear view camera leaves much to be desired, there is no dynamic marking that shows the trajectory when the steering wheel is turned, and the music did not start playing brightly, despite the 8 speakers of the audio system. But the very appearance of a convenient navigator, combined with good screens in the B-segment model, is already a breakthrough!

The car is equipped with two engines, including a 90-horsepower 1.6-liter 8-valve engine, which is installed in the Lada Granta: “But if there is enough of it with a margin, then the larger and heavier Vesta is completely back-to-back. There were no such cars on the test, but judging by the performance characteristics, one should not expect miracles – Vesta SW Cross with heavy 17-inch wheels accelerates to a hundred in 14 seconds, this is the most leisurely modification.
The 106-horsepower 16-valve engine is better suited to the new product, it is enough both in the city and when overtaking on the highway, if you correctly operate the five-speed mechanics lever: “It still howls in second gear, but there are no complaints about the mechanism. By the way, new electronic components appeared in both motors – instead of Bosch, from now on, domestic electronics.
Instead of TRW and Lucas brakes, there are Chinese ones, which, according to tests, work even better. All Vestas are equipped with rear disc brakes and ABS, while ESP is not yet included in the package.
Vesta received an engine start button, a new steering wheel with convenient buttons appeared, French light and rain sensors have not yet been replaced, seat heating is again “single-stage”. Instead of control from the Renault Arkana crossover, “an air conditioner with tight and playful handles” is installed.
