Almost all Grants will soon be available with higher eco-standard motors. Then the rest of the Frets will be transferred to Euro-5.
Last year, after the start of the well-known events and the sanctions restrictions that followed them, AVTOVAZ was forced to switch to the production of cars with Euro-2 environmental standard motors. Now the company is returning to Euro-5. It has been officially announced that the production of cars with engines of a higher eco-class will start on September 1.
The first Lada, which will again correspond to Euro-5, will be Granta, and these will be both versions of the 1.6 engine (8- or 16-valve, 90 or 106 hp) and all versions of the model available for purchase today: sedan, liftback, cross-station wagon and the “challenged” version of Drive Active. By the way, as reported in the press service of AvtoVAZ, “new calibrations and engine control units have been developed in Russia, which strengthens Lada’s technological sovereignty.” The manufacturer also stated that the machines “have passed a full cycle of tests at various temperatures, mining tests, electromagnetic compatibility tests, etc.”
The recommended price of a Grant with a 90-horsepower motor that meets Euro-5 standards starts at 784,900 rubles: the Classic package with a driver’s airbag, ABS, ERA-Glonass system, audio preparation, heating and electric mirrors will cost this amount. A model with a 106 hp Euro-5 engine costs from 925,900 rubles (the Comfort version with two airbags and an audio system).
At the same time, AVTOVAZ stated that the price “for the basic, most localized and affordable Granta configuration” does not change, it is “less than 700 thousand rubles”: apparently, we are talking about a Grant with a Euro-2 engine.
The remaining Lada models will later also be transferred to Euro-5, AVTOVAZ will announce their release separately.
