Dimensional Lada Vesta dimensions Recently they have ceased to be a secret. The manufacturer has released data on the body dimensions of the Lada Vesta sedan. The length of the car is 4410 mm, width 1764 mm, height 1497 mm. It is worth noting that the length of Vesta in a hatchback body is also known - 4250 mm. The Vesta station wagon will have almost the same length as the sedan.
As for the ground clearance of the Lada Vesta , this figure will be 178 mm , that is, the ground clearance of the Lada Vesta will be almost 18 centimeters. Some parquet crossovers may envy this indicator.
The trunk volume of the Lada Vesta sedan, according to the manufacturer, will be equal to 480 liters . Naturally, in a hatchback body this volume will be reduced, but the station wagon will delight us with its increased capacity.
Now let's talk about the space in the Lada Vesta cabin. The wheelbase, that is, the distance from the front to the rear axle, will be 2635 mm, which is quite good. If we compare it with the same Granta or Kalina, then the base there is only 2476 mm. That is, the interior is 159 mm or 16 centimeters longer. In any case, there is more internal space, because the width is also 6.5 centimeters larger. I would also like these dimensions to have competent ergonomics, then the Lada Vesta can be recommended as a family car. In terms of dimensions, this is a full-fledged “C” class car; let’s remember Kalina and Granta are of a lower class – “B” class.
Dimensions of Lada Vesta sedan
- Length – 4410 mm
- Width – 1764 mm
- Height – 1497 mm
- Front overhang – 860 mm
- Rear overhang – 915 mm
- Base, distance between front and rear axle – 2635 mm
- Front and rear wheel track – 1510/1510 mm, respectively
- Trunk volume – 480 liters
- Curb weight – 1150-1195 kg
- Gross weight – 1625-1670 kg
- Fuel tank volume – 50 liters
- Vesta ground clearance – 178 mm
By the way, the not very large luggage volume of the Vesta sedan is apparently due to the presence of a full-size spare wheel under the trunk floor. The trunk volume of the Vesta Cross will be significantly larger.

Main parameters of the salon:
- height from the front (front) seat cushion to the ceiling – from 939 to 990 mm, cushion length – 450 mm;
- height from the rear passenger seat cushion to the ceiling – 896 mm, cushion length – 480 mm;
- the distance from the backs of the front seats to the feet of the rear passengers is 226 mm.
The interior decoration is attractive and ergonomic. The upholstery uses fabric, leatherette (in “Classic” and “Comfort” versions), leather (“Lux”).
Safety
Seat belts with squib.
Driver airbag + passenger airbag with deactivation function (depending on equipment).
Body rigidity - 18500N.m/degree. It is worth noting that this is a very decent indicator; the car has the right to be called safe!, as recent crash tests have shown.
Emergency warning system ERA-GLONASS (on all trim levels)
Dimensions of Lada Vesta
There are 6 modifications in the model range. Traditional domestic bodies (sedan, hatchback, station wagon) and creative foreign ones (cross, sport) are presented. In the future - a coupe.

Versions of Lada Vesta:
- Classic. The car is equipped with a driver's seat airbag and an on-board computer. There is also ESC stabilizer, electric power steering, and electric windows in the front doors.
- Comfort. In addition to standard equipment, “Comfort” has heated front seats, climate control, and rear parking sensors.
- Luxe. The model, whose price exceeds the “Classic” version by almost 200 thousand rubles, is distinguished by a rich “stuffing”: electric windows of the rear doors, PTF (fog lights), heated windshield, navigator, DD (rain sensor), alloy wheels, clutch actuator ( for robotic automatic transmissions). A touchscreen multimedia system is available at an additional cost.
- Exclusive. The developers continued to take care of safety: side airbags, Era-Glonass system, immobilizer, daytime running lights. During emergency braking, the hazard warning lights automatically turn on.
Passenger cars are divided into categories. There is no universal classification in the world; the Russian auto industry gravitates towards the European division of cars according to external parameters. The dimensions of the Vesta sedan place it in the middle class D.
Length of Lada Vesta
This parameter is important to know in order to calculate the size of the garage and entrance gate.
The size is determined with a tape measure. Length is the distance from the most protruding point of the car's front bumper to the farthest part of the rear. The length of the Vesta sedan (L) is indicated in the operating instructions - a record 4410 mm. To check for skeptics: the car is placed on a level surface, plumb lines are attached to the protruding parts of the bumpers or a building level is applied, points are marked on the ground, and the distance between them is measured with a folding meter.
Reviews and comparisons of the lengths of the station wagon and cross body showed the identity of the standard sedan modification. The hatchback is shorter: 4250 mm.
Width of Vesta with and without mirrors
Russian GOST 22748-77 defines the width (W) of a car as “... the distance between two planes of the vehicle, parallel to the longitudinal median and tangent to the vehicle on each side.” That is, all protruding parts of the car (wheel hubs, sills, door handles) are located between these parallel planes. But this does not include rear-view mirrors, side marker lights, flexible mud flaps, or swollen tires.

Width of Lada Vesta:
- with mirrors – 2039 mm;
- without them - 1764 mm.
The distance between the right and left wheel arches, which many drivers consider to be wide, in hatchbacks, sedans and station wagons is 1680 mm.
Other standard modification parameters:
- ground clearance - 178 mm (under the engine crankcase);
- wheelbase – 2635 mm;
- front track – 1500 mm, rear – 1510 mm.
Ground clearance in Lada Vesta SW is 203 mm. Overall dimensions allow Vesta to compete with higher class cars.
Height of Vesta
This size is determined from the ground level to the upper plane of the roof, excluding the antenna and roof rails. According to AvtoVAZ, the height of the Vesta sedan is 1512 mm. According to the measurements of Autoreview journalists - 1497 mm. The difference can be explained by overinflated tires or vehicle equipment.
In all modifications of Vesta, the height meets the requirements of a family car. The cross version received the highest height in the line – 1532 mm.
Content:
However, buyers of cars of this class pay attention not only to visual appeal, but also to practicality and functionality, which are largely determined by the dimensions of the vehicle. In this regard, Vesta is also at its best, since it surpasses in basic parameters not only domestic models, but also most competitors in its class.
Other options
In addition to the above parameters, the following important ones can be noted, which Lada Vesta owners will probably need sooner or later:
- The steering column is adjustable for reach and installation angle.
- A 3-spoke steering wheel, convenient for long driving, with radio and cruise control buttons located on it (in some trim levels) is installed.
- The size of the steering wheel - its diameter on the Lada Vesta is 38-40 cm.
Wiper size
- driver's side brush size – 600 mm;
- The size of the brushes on the passenger side is 450 mm.
However, glass cleaning results can be improved by installing larger windshield wipers. Longer blades will allow you to increase the cleaning area of the windshield.
For example, you can easily replace the driver’s brush with 610mm or the passenger’s with 480mm.
AvtoVAZ has provided 2 standard radios for installation on the Lada Vesta: a 4.3" monochrome display and a 7" color touch screen with a standard 1 DIN size - 178x50mm. However, the manufacturer took care of the possibility of installing a 2 DIN radio with a size of 178x100mm. To do this, you need to purchase a special transition frame.
The size of the opening of the radio frame is 173.5 x 98 mm, this must be taken into account when choosing the size of the radio. The depth of the receiver that can be pushed into the socket should not be more than 140mm, otherwise it will rest closely against the container located in the dashboard.
Conclusions of experts on the model
First of all, it should be noted that this is the first VAZ product, the design of which was designed by Steve Mattin. This is a Russian car, which for the first time competed with imported cars with its external characteristics and, of course, its size.
Secondly, a lot of attention was paid to car safety. The body is made safer and more rigid, thanks to new design technologies, as well as the targeted use of high-strength alloys. The innovation guarantees improved handling. Light weight is absolutely justifiably sacrificed to increase the safety level of Vesta.
Thus, Lada Vesta brought the domestic auto industry to a new level, which allowed Lada to fight for leadership with foreign competitors. The car has solid, convenient dimensions with relatively light weight. Plus, good aerodynamics and a higher level of safety for the driver and passengers.

Transmissions
The buyer is offered two transmission options to choose from: a manual gearbox from Renault and an AMT robotic gearbox from AVTOVAZ.
The option with a “mechanics” from Renault was chosen in order to deprive the domestic car of one of the most significant shortcomings - noise in the gearbox. There was simply no time to develop and launch production of its analogue, so the choice fell on JH - this transmission has proven itself well in many cars.
Instead of a full-fledged automatic transmission, the car is equipped with a robotic transmission, which is AVTOVAZ’s own development. In fact, this is an old VAZ 2180 transmission, which was equipped with electric drives. The gearbox was created and refined together with the ZF company, and parts for it are manufactured using more precise equipment. This option has certain disadvantages: the noise in some gears has become quieter, but remains the same, the electronics do not always select gears quickly, the first gearboxes often broke and had to be replaced under warranty. The use of this option is justified from an economic point of view, since it costs noticeably less than a full-fledged automatic machine, and maintenance and repairs in the event of a breakdown will be noticeably cheaper.
Applicable tire and wheel size
What size wheel rims are needed for the Lada Vesta? Let's once again clarify the dimensions of the Lada Vesta wheels. In the factory version, the Lada Vesta is equipped with alloy wheels R16 and R17 from the manufacturer K&K. The discs are made by injection molding. The Luxury Lada Vesta comes with 2 wheel options:
- K&K Anna 15_6Х15_4Х100_DIA_60_ET_50;
- K&K Ptalomey 16 6X16_4X100_DIA_60_ET_50.
By paying additionally, you can install the same alloy wheels K&K Ptalomey 17 6X17 4X100 DIA 60 ET 50, which are larger in size, which has a positive effect on the stability of the car. If you want to replace alloy wheels with a different design, the recommended parameters are:
- Wheels R16, 175/70, 205/60;
- Wheels R17 175/55, 195/50.
The wheel size for the Vesta concept version should correspond to R18 235 /45.
Vehicle dimensions, wheelbase
The sedan has body dimensions of 4,440 mm in length, 1,764 mm in width, and 1,497 mm in height. All these dimensions are much larger than those of the Hyundai Solaris (4,375mm, 1,700mm, 1,470mm), which is currently the main competitor of domestic cars. The wheelbase of the Lada vesta is 2,570 mm.
The tracks of the front and rear wheels are different:
| Front wheel track, mm | 1 495 | |
| Rear wheel track, mm | 1 502 | |
Comparison with competitors
The Lada Vesta, which took first place in sales in 2022, has many rivals. Domestic cars are compared with a number of foreign brands.
Hyundai Solaris
The Korean-designed sedan is assembled on assembly lines in St. Petersburg. Gasoline engine, two types of transmission and ground clearance lower than that of the Lada Vesta - 16 cm.
External dimensions: LxWxH (in mm) – 4405×1729×1470. Trunk volume - 370-480 l - depends on the configuration.
For comparison: the dimensions of the 2022 Lada Vesta station wagon are 4410x1764x1512 mm.
Hyundai Solaris lags behind the sales leader by almost 40 thousand cars per year.
Volkswagen Polo
The Kaluga front-wheel drive competitor is inferior in sales and size to the Lada Vesta sedan. The configurations of the cars are approximately the same.
Polo dimensions:
- D – 4390 mm;
- W – 1699 mm;
- B – 1465 mm.
Trunk volume - 460 l.
Kia Rio
The five-seater family "Korean" - the main rival of the Lada Vesta - is produced in St. Petersburg in sedan and hatchback bodies. Ground clearance in basic models is 160 mm, in the X-Line modification - 195 mm.
External dimensions: 4400x1740x1470 mm.
In terms of the number of cars sold, Kia Rio lags behind Lada Vesta by 5 thousand units.
Lada Granta
Although the cars are the same width, they are not similar in appearance when viewed from the front. "Grant" is 142 mm shorter and 3 mm taller than "Vesta". Ground clearance – 180 mm.
Spacious interior and impressive trunk
The trunk in the Lada Vesta turned out to be quite roomy and comfortable for a sedan. Its height in centimeters is 57.3. Width – from 103.9 to 142.4. Length – from 96.2 to 16.75. Very impressive size for such a model. In this trunk you can transport many different items that have an impressive weight, bypassing the financial costs of delivery and transportation.
What is the width and size of the trunk? The luggage compartment, as well as the body and interior of the LADA Vesta, are not inferior in size to competitors in the class. Thanks to the well-chosen shapes of the rear body panels and the impressive track, the car has a fairly wide opening in the luggage compartment.
Next, we will touch on the main dimensions, which will more clearly demonstrate the capabilities of the trunk:
- the height inside the compartment reaches 570 mm;
- compartment length is 960 mm;
- if you fold the backs of the stern seating row, this parameter increases to an unprecedented 1650 mm;
- the width and size of the trunk is 1400 mm;
- such an important parameter as the loading height reaches 715 mm;
- in general, the volume for luggage is 450 liters, and with the rear backrests folded it immediately increases to 1100 liters.
