The LADA Iskra design was changed before the launch of mass production
AvtoVAZ began to simplify the design of the new LADA Iskra even before the start of mass production of the model.
It is planned to produce a model with three versions of powertrains – 90-HP 1.6-liter diesel engine coupled with 5-speed manual gear box, 106-HP 1.6-liter unit combined with 6-speed automated gear box, as well as a similar 106-HP unit, which is paired with automatic gear box or a Chinese CVT.
It is reported that at the moment there are about 15 assembled LADA Iskra test cars at the assembly line site. According to insiders, station wagons are covered with camouflage film on the front and back, unlike sedans. It is also explained that the model design is simplified in terms of the interior as a whole – the matter concerns the low-cost car.
The start of sales was announced in March 2025; the novelty cost varies from 1.1 to 1.4 million rubles.
