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.

Station wagon Lada Vesta SV Cross

The five-door all-terrain vehicle is characterized by increased cross-country ability compared to the cargo-passenger model. The target audience is consumers who want to get a car for all occasions with a bright design and high practicality.

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.

Down to the smallest detail

But the universal Vesta is not only good for its capacity.
The highlight of the trunk is the double floor, divided into two sections. Each section is a spacious organizer (gray foam tray) for small items and a hard lid. The trays are the same size, and so are the lids. Therefore, they can be swapped, placed on top of each other or vertically, or removed altogether, configuring the trunk at your discretion. The underground capacity is 95 liters.

I liked the lids the most: tough, durable. If you put one of these on two boxes, you will get a comfortable bench for a picnic.

Under the organizers there is another floor, but this one is soft. Underneath is a full-fledged spare wheel with a diameter of 15 inches. This means that for the SW Cross version, which has only 17‑inch wheels, such a spare wheel will play a temporary role. On the other hand, it lies freely, with gaps - a 17‑inch wheel will fit here.

Both organizer covers are in place. A large mesh will secure the load on the floor. A mesh bag is stretched behind the seat. In the left arch there is a small mesh that will fence off the canister. Next to it is a small shelf for small things. On both sides there are hooks and lighting.

The trunk lighting consists of a pair of lamps (one each on the left and right) integrated into the side panels of the trunk. Just in case, a 12-volt outlet was provided on the right panel.

There are hooks on the sides for securing bags and packages. In addition, there are loops on which three standard nets are hung: a large square one for securing the load on the floor, a transverse mesh bag and a small mesh along the niche on the left side. Perfect solution!

A box located in the right wheel arch, closed with a lid, can be used to store a first aid kit or put tools in it. And in the left wing there is a niche for a five-liter canister - it’s convenient to keep oil or washer fluid here.

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.

More spacious!

The back seat is like a sedan. They only slightly changed the upholstery, correcting the seams and joints. Accordingly, the seat folds, like that of a sedan, in a ratio of 2:3 - the back simply rests on the pillow. There is no ideal loading area, but a small hump will be pressed against heavy things and leveled out.

The rear seat is shaped like a sedan. But the upholstery is different. An armrest with two cup holders folds out from the backrest.

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.
