Lada Vesta SV Cross: characteristics, configurations, photos 2021

The public got acquainted with the photo and prototype of the future Lada Vesta SV station wagon with the Cross prefix in Moscow at the end of the summer of 2015. Serial production of the model started in early autumn 2017.

Sales of new cars - a regular station wagon and a serial all-terrain vehicle - started only in the summer of 2021. It is worth noting that Vesta Cross is not an SUV, as some people believe. This is an all-terrain station wagon that is equipped with front-wheel drive.

Pros and cons of the variator in reviews of Xray Cross owners

Among the new features of the Lada version, it is worth noting the heating of the rear seats, 3-stage heating of the front seats, a convenient box with armrests and cup holders for front and rear passengers, a 12V socket and a USB port for rear passengers, a luggage compartment button, 17-inch wheels (Vesta SW has 15-inch wheels).

According to an automobile expert, potential consumers of the Cross version are people for whom foreign-made hatchbacks are too small, sedans are an impractical option, and crossovers are too expensive.

Salon

Both cars are designed for five people. The interior space of the fret is decorated laconicly and looks expensive. Convenient, comfortable instrument panel. Indicator sensors are placed in three wells, similar to sports models. On top of the three wells there is a volumetric canopy. Comfortable three-axis steering wheel. There are decorative inserts on the inner surface of the doors and on the front panel. A multimedia device with a built-in navigator in the luxury and top-end configurations has an accessible menu conveniently located on the front panel. The climate control device is equipped with a small monitor. The rear seat is spacious for three passengers. The only drawback is the lack of lighting for the rear row of passengers.

The Chevrolet Cruze looks elegant, sophisticated from the inside, and meets all fashion trends. The front panel is made of plastic that is pleasant to the touch with fabric elements. Panel with lighting function in the dark and during daylight hours. The brightness of the lighting is user adjustable. The front row of seats is equipped with convenient position adjustment levers. There is a heating function. There's quite a lot of space in the back. The passengers who are accommodated there are not cramped.

Interior and exterior

They worked on the external design of the car for quite a long time. The final appearance is presented in a more elongated version than we are all used to seeing in domestic versions. And this is not only fashionable and in demand. This solution significantly improved the streamlining of the car. Vesta’s appearance does not in any way resemble her belonging to Lada in the usual sense.

The manufacturer presents five-door models in a wide range of colors. However, the bright orange version is only available on Cross models. The base color is white. You will have to pay extra for metallic and Carthage.

The bright red model with the Cross prefix is a unique combination of a dynamic image and practical character. The car has original features - a sloping roof, a taut rear, stylish lights. The striking appearance is given by unpainted plastic combined with increased ground clearance - it has grown to a respectable 203 mm.

The interior of the car completely copies the internal appearance of a regular station wagon. However, unique attributes are still present in the car - bright applications on individual elements of the interior - dashboard, seats, instruments. The cabin comfortably accommodates five adults. The interior upholstery can be chosen as desired, but all options are made of fabric.

The front seats are comfortable, equipped with lateral support and a significant range of adjustments. At the back there is a full-fledged sofa with cup holders and heating.

The manufacturer has worked thoroughly on the convenience of the driver and passengers. The design of the seats and headrests has been improved and properly supports the head and back to avoid the development of diseases that plague people with a sedentary lifestyle. Comfort pleases on long trips. The body does not become numb, there is no need to make unnecessary movements - everything is at hand.

Model design

Externally, both models are similar. Stylish, laconic. It seems that there is nothing superfluous in the design of both cars. At first glance, it’s even difficult to say which is better – the Lada or the Cruze.

If you take a closer look at your compatriot, you can feel the hand of professional designers. There is a characteristic x-shaped design, which adds creativity. Smooth lines and a streamlined shape make the Lada look like an elite foreign car. The bumper is equipped with a neat, discreet black radiator grille, flanked by massive lighting fixtures. The grille smoothly flows into the space on which the license plate is placed, then into the air intake grille, in the lower part of which there is a “skirt” and a protective trim. The bumper looks massive, and the letter “X” can also be seen in its design. Its appearance is complemented by chrome inserts. From the rear, the car resembles most foreign sedans. The only thing that gives it away is the LADA inscription on the luggage compartment lid. In the rear, large lighting fixtures stand out, some of which are located on the luggage compartment lid, the second part on the rear of the wing. Manufacturers offer a rich selection of colors - nine tones. All colors are metallic, mostly dark.

The American also looks stylish and modern. The design has a hint of a sports model. The bumper is as massive as that of the Vesta. The radiator grille is divided horizontally into two parts for aesthetic purposes. Lighting fixtures deserve attention. Massive, broken in shape, they fit into the overall style and give it aggressiveness.

If we compare the Lada vesta and the American car, we note that both options are made in the same, or very similar, style, although each has features characteristic of the brand.

Owner reviews

There are not many reviews from real owners yet. Many consumers are satisfied with their purchase. Most of them like the car. The car is not inferior to many foreign cars, even in the more expensive price segment.

AvtoVAZ station wagon Cross is a living car for active drivers. On different roads, on rough and not very rough ones, it allows a lot. This is not a full-fledged crossover, but with such suspension and ground clearance, drivers feel confident. The dimensions of the machine are easy to grasp. The car overcomes broken roads without difficulty. When driving into deep holes it shakes a little, but tolerable. High ground clearance in our country is always a plus.

Among the advantages, real users note excellent suspension, good clutch and manual transmission, smooth shifting. Dynamics, chassis, interior, trunk - everything works perfectly. The car handles the road well and responds sensitively to steering inputs. Consumers note the spaciousness of the interior. The combination of an “older” engine and mechanics is still a novelty for many.

Some users think that the car is still damp. There are diseases in it, but they are not serious and can be successfully treated. Sport involves speed. And acceleration is 11.3 seconds. doesn't really fit this idea.

Contrasting sporty style is combined with comfort and excellent cross-country ability: the LADA Vesta SW Cross has ground clearance worthy of a crossover. 203 millimeters of ground clearance allows you not to worry about the height of the curb, the depth of the snow or the dirt track.
