Reviews from Lada Vesta Sport owners
I would like 6th gear, because on the highway this is a necessary thing. In the city, 5 mortars are enough. Already the aforementioned squeaking noise when braking. I understand that even owners of cars of a higher class and in a completely different price segment face a similar problem, but damn it, AvtoVAZ =). For some reason, there is no heated rear seats, although in other Lada models it can be seen as an option. That's probably all for now.
Well, I became the owner of the long-awaited Lada Vesta Sport. Briefly about the car, steering and brakes are just fire! I’m not putting any pressure on the engine yet, as it’s just being run-in) But it feels like there’s traction from the bottom! In general, the car is fire and I don’t regret the fact that I paid more than a cartoon for it! Currently the mileage is 1,600 km)
It is at least no worse than foreign cars in a similar price segment. The suspension “swallows” road irregularities, but remains moderately stiff and comfortable. Turns - with a bang! In fact, it is very good in turns, and the lateral supports of the seats tenaciously hold the driver and do not allow him to lose control of the road.
The engine in the Vesta Sport is enough for me both for the city and for the highway! The brakes are good, they cope with adequate speed, I haven’t tried to brake to the floor from 150, I hope it won’t come to that, I’m not a racer, I mostly ride with my family. The clearance allows you to drive along curbs)) They say the box is howling, well, I don’t know, I don’t hear anything, everything works in normal mode, no louder than at the same fluence, or maybe I just didn’t listen to that extent. The suspension can be somewhat noisy, but it is energy-intensive.

Appearance
Of course, the design of the new Lada Vesta Sport 2021 is the strongest point of the car. The new body differs from the regular Vesta with very aggressive body kits, a lot of relief, wheels and optics.
The front part of the car differs least from the starting version of the sedan. She is still the same short and low, but a decent amount of aggression comes from her. This is facilitated by the new hood, which has a large recess in the center and slightly protruding side parts. As before, the radiator grille here takes the shape of the letter “X”. On top of it you can find the largest cutout, which provides air access to the engine compartment. This cutout ends on both sides with aggressive headlights, positioned at an angle and filled with halogens or xenon.
As for the body kit, there are also plenty of interesting elements. In the center there is another huge cutout that improves the cooling of the engine compartment. Also, the side parts were not left without bars. In the extended configuration, they also include built-in fog signals. Naturally, the body is decorated to the maximum with all sorts of relief.
The most formidable part here is the rear of the car. The short but tall trunk boasts a slightly angled lid, equipped with a spoiler lip for better aerodynamics. Next are slightly inclined rectangular headlights, as well as the embossed main part of the door. What attracts the most attention is the body kit, which takes up almost a third of the entire bumper area. Here you can find massive air intakes located on the sides, a diffuser with another false mesh and a metal insert with two huge exhaust pipes located at different edges.

Autoreview
In the interior design of the Lada Vesta Sport 2021, one of the key elements is the “red ribbon” running along the perimeter of the body. Red accents, designed to emphasize the sporty character of the new version, are also present in the interior. Red Alcantara inserts with X-graphics are made on the front seats, the main upholstery of which is eco-leather with a “carbon” texture and red stitching. In addition, the inscription “Vesta Sport” is embroidered on the backs of the seats below the headrests. This is not visible in the photo, but... The steering wheel, manual gearbox and parking brake handle are also trimmed in black eco-leather.
The instrument panel of the new product has an exclusive design and backlighting in red, the air ducts received a black glossy coating, which is repeated on the door handles, while the door and front panels have carbon-look decorative inserts. The ceiling and pillars of the car are upholstered in black material.
In the center of the dashboard there is always a huge multimedia system monitor, from which almost all the functionality of the car is configured. Next to it you can see neat air ducts framed with black glossy elements. A little lower is a modest console, which includes climate control washers.
The tunnel, unfortunately, is not luxurious. It turned out to be very thin and short. The designers managed to place here such elements as cup holders, an undisguised organizer for things, a gearbox control knob, buttons for activating heated seats and an armrest, which, like in the previous Vesta, is equipped with a regular or cooled glove compartment.
All seats in the car have undergone significant modifications. All of them will be finished with higher quality fabrics and even artificial leather. Also, the front seats now have pronounced lateral support and excellent headrests, the tilt of which can be adjusted to suit you. The seats located in the front also boast a heating system, installed in any configuration, and electrical position adjustments in several directions. The back row has become more spacious and comfortable. Here you can also find heating, but in an expanded version, an armrest with holes for glasses and an adjustable backrest.

Body characteristics
The technical characteristics of the body have undergone minimal changes, and this happened only because of the presence of a new body kit, which added a few extra millimeters to the car, otherwise everything remained in place. The only real change that was planned by the manufacturer concerned the vehicle's ground clearance. The ground clearance of the Lada Vesta Sport is 147 millimeters
, which is 31 millimeters lower than a regular sedan.
