in Vesta SV 03/10/2018 4,
The Russian decided to take a tangible step towards the progress of color. That is, to significantly expand the palette of shades for the Lada Vesta SV car. After the announcement of this model, interest was at a high level, because the body colors were able to please all motorists. Let's try to look at each shade in more detail. Let's find out the features of the entire color palette and how they improve the exterior of the Lada Vesta SW.
A total of 9 different shades are available. They differ from each other, increasing the buyer's choice. Car dealerships do not focus on anything specific, but still try to best suit the tastes of motorists.
Cornelian
The color scheme begins with the defiant carnelian. This metallic red tops all shades because it attracts the attention of others. It is impossible to take your eyes off the rich red color. It turned out to be in the best traditions of the executive class. Definitely suitable for people who need a positive opinion from friends who will appreciate this coloring book.
Carthage
Metallic beige is an excellent alternative to dirty white. Here we can talk about greater practicality on the roads of our country, where dust quickly stains the body even in the best weather. Carthage rightfully ranks high among bright hues when it comes to the average consumer's color choice. Lada Vesta SW in this version looks presentable, but subject to constant water procedures (washing).
Blue is not the most common color on the roads. However, it remains practical for urban environments. Small amounts of settled dust do not spoil the exterior at all. In any parking lot, blues stands out from its darker competitors. Finding a car is often not difficult. The absence of blue does not allow for comparison between shades.
Pluto
The most popular are the dark gray ones. Although black is still beyond competition. Pluto reserves the right to a premium look, but at the same time allows you not to get lost among friends. Some problem areas on the car body that have lost their presentability can be quickly restored with the help of simple tools, so the use of Pluto is definitely suitable for most novice motorists.
Exterior
Photographs and videos that can be found in this article will help you understand what it is like, the appearance of a brand new car, its level of modernity, dynamism and what charisma it has. The appearance of the VAZ has certain similarities with the 2016 Lada X-Ray Concept 2, namely the X-shaped style, because the headlights installed in front were divided into sections, which will give some similarity.
If you are careful, you can see at the bottom of the rear of the bumper installed in front, sections for installing fog lights. If we compare the car with the Lada Vesta sedan, then the bottom was protected with powerful plastic linings, which turned out to be unpainted. It tends to scratch, such a body kit came in very handy; it was able to complement the front and rear bumpers, sills, door areas at the very bottom, as well as wheel arches.
The false radiator grille has divisions, which are represented by a pair of chrome bars. The manufacturer's nameplate also turned out to be massive in size. The side of the new car has interesting stampings that are similar to those installed on the front bumper, but a little more massive.
The wheel arches contain 18-inch wheel rims. The ground clearance was increased, which is indispensable not only for cross-country traffic, but also for “high-quality” roads of the Russian Federation. The concept version has a ground clearance of about 300 mm, one production model will probably have a more modest height, which will make it possible to improve the aerodynamic performance and stability of the car when cornering.
The aft part has a luggage door, the dimensions are not large, and the luggage compartment itself is spacious. Despite the similarity with the sedan version, according to the manufacturers, the similarity in appearance of the cross-version with the standard one ends behind the central pillar of the car - then there is a brand new, stylish, sloping roof, flowing into the “athletic” rear.
It has modern taillights along with original rear pillars, which give the car dynamism. Generally speaking, the appearance of the station wagon, provided that the company can preserve its style, is almost in no way inferior to its classmates, including the Skoda Octavia Scout, Volkswagen Golf Altrac and even in some places the Subaru Forester.
The black insert under the rear spoiler looks very interesting. With this element, it feels as if the roof is not attached to the main body at the rear. In general, about 300 changes were made to the design, which start from the B pillar and go to the luggage compartment.
Black Pearl
Lada Vesta SW of this version looks several classes higher. Sitting behind the wheel, you feel the increased status, but the large logo on the front spoils the impression a little. The black pearl is quite easily soiled in any season. If you maintain impeccable cleanliness, then compared to more premium brands, Lada Vesta SV will seem like a worthy competitor. There is no need to talk about exclusivity: .
Platinum and phantom
Silver and gold always go shoulder to shoulder. For extraordinary individuals, these options are the only opportunity to match a certain style that is unique only to the owner of the car. It is also worth noting a number of difficulties in selecting the right paint in case of an accident to eliminate its consequences. It is difficult to talk about practicality with prolonged use, but this entirely depends on the driving style.
Angkor
The brown color of the Lada Vesta SW is becoming increasingly popular. The demand is partly determined by the realities of off-road conditions, which can be found even in the middle of the city. Clay is clearly visible in all shades except Angkor. Lovers of country trips are impressed by the opportunity to stay clean for as long as possible. When you arrive at the garage, there is no need to immediately grab the hose and start washing.
↑ Hidden meaning in the name of the Carthage color on the Lada Vesta
The manufacturer gives names to paints for Vesta, which contain a conceptual principle.
Carthage is a state of the pre-Christian era that stood on the path of Roman conquests in Africa. The Romans made repeated attempts to destroy it and, in the end, achieved their goal, after which they conquered all the lands in the African Mediterranean. This was a breakthrough in their imperial ambitions.
Vesta station wagon, crossover, is also an attempt by AvtoVAZ to break into the category of manufacturers of middle-class cars that are competitive with foreign cars in all respects: technical equipment, design, color. In this way, the manufacturer makes it clear that he will not stop achieving his goal. This breakthrough will not mean stagnation on what has been achieved; the model will continue to improve.
The abbreviation SW (Sport Wagon) stands for sports van. Designed for Russian conditions, it “breaks” the established stereotype regarding this type of car: it is no longer a sedan, but also not a hatchback, and not a station wagon in its pure form. The new body tone creates a charismatic image: strict, smart, aimed at movement.
Attention! Compared to the sedan of the first releases, the Lada Vesta SW, SW CROSS in the Carthage version has positive changes in the internal design, build quality, and additional functions, but the main idea of the model is preserved.
An example is the arrangement of the trunk. With the same volume, it has become much more convenient and functional. It has organizers, hooks, nets, and a two-level floor, which allows you to distribute things with comfort. The trunk lid is now opened with a button on the fifth door.
Rear-seat passengers now have more space thanks to an increase in roof height by 25 mm. There is now a convenient armrest with a hinged lid where you can put coffee. On the back of the front armrest there is a USB port for charging phones and laptops, and heated rear seats in three ranges.
The doors began to open and close more smoothly. A set of antennas on the roof are hidden in a shark fin. The seal on the hood has been improved, the gas tank cap is now blocked from the ignition switch.
The car is equipped with a 1.8 engine with a 5-speed manual transmission made in France. The car listens well to the steering wheel and is stable when cornering. The crossover has a ground clearance of 18 cm, which allows it to overcome off-road conditions. The elastic front suspension prevents the car from swaying.
Specifications
Lada Vesta Cross technical characteristics, what range of power plants and so on, we’ll find out now. So, the main thing you need to understand is that the price of a Lada Vesta station wagon is determined, among other things, depending on the engine. As you know, two motors are proposed:
- Lada Vesta 1.6 liters, generated 106 liters. With. and 148 Nm.
- Lada Vesta 1.8 liters, already producing 122 liters. With. and 170 Nm.
For example, Lada Vesta Exclusive is offered only with a 122-horsepower unit. Like the Vesta sedan, the engine is combined with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 5-speed robotic transmission. In both cases, only front-wheel drive, 4*4 is not yet offered.
No information could be found about Lada Vesta Sport prices and specifications, which have not yet been announced. On the Internet you can only find rare photos of a car with a characteristic body kit.
Lada Vesta from 2019-2020, what about the suspension? The suspension is identical to the three-box, the same dimensions, there are no differences. It was based on the Lada V platform, with supports in front based on MacPherso, and a classic “beam” in the rear. The steering is equipped with an electric booster, and the braking system is also not deprived of electronic assistants. There are disc “pancakes” in front, disc or drum ones in the rear, depending on the version. What are the structural features of the Lada Vesta Sport is not known, perhaps in the future the manufacturer will answer this question.
↑ Reviews about the color Carthage
Attention! Car enthusiasts appreciated the noble restraint of the Carthage, although the price of a car in this color is confusing, and preference is given to less expensive paints.
“I saw the Vesta Carthage in the photo and decided that this was the only one I would buy. Should receive it in 2 months. I hope that the color won’t disappoint me in real life.”
“I really like the car’s appearance: the light gray Carthage “sits” on the body like its own skin. Neither subtract nor add. A very practical color. Dirt is practically invisible. Vesta itself is also pleasing: throttle response, accelerates easily, good brakes. Driving at a high angle, you feel like the car lacks power. Otherwise, everything is very good.”
Let's sum it up
Summing up the results of the new domestically produced Lada Vesta Cross SV, I would like to say that the car has changed a lot. This is noticeable even in its appearance, which has become more modern, sporty, energetic and at the same time stylish. The front part has received excellent equipment; there is a large logo of the manufacturer and stylish headlights.
On the sides there are large wheels with equally massive wheel arches. The rear part is generally almost unrecognizable if you remove the “LADA” logo. The interior, like the exterior, has improved in all respects. There is a good and convenient instrument panel, a touch screen, a comfortable, functional steering wheel, and a stylish center console.
The quality of interior finishing materials has increased. The front seats are quite comfortable and have good lateral support. There is enough free space inside the car. The luggage compartment has a substantial reserve of volume, which, if necessary, can be increased by folding the rear seat backs.
The power units are not the most powerful, but they cope with their direct responsibilities well. I am pleased with the good security system and various assistants that are designed to help the driver on the road. There is a system that will help in case of car theft, showing through a satellite sensor where your car is located.
There is also an “Era-GLONASS” system, which will give a traffic police signal if the crossover gets into an accident. Let's see what kind of car will be in production, but it is clear that the LADA company is determined to win the hearts of drivers. Judging by the concept car version, they have every chance.

↑ Lada Vesta color palette
The range of Vesta colors has been replenished with two shades: Carthage and Mars. Mars is a bright orange tone. This color can be ordered for one modification of Vesta: Lada Vesta SV CROSS. The Lada Vesta SW station wagon and the Lada Vesta SW CROSS SUV are produced in Carthage coloring.
Other Vesta body shades:
Traditional colors are white, black, silver (glacial, black pearl, platinum). Shades of gray - Pluto and Carthage. Orange-red bodies – carnelian and mars. Dark chocolate shade - Angkor.
Green tones are krypton and lime. Dark blue is blues, light blue and orange are phantom, silver is platinum.
The names have a deep meaning. They either characterize the shade or determine the value of the model.
The color white, renamed glacial, creates an association of pure arctic whiteness.
The black mother-of-pearl body is a hint of an expensive, sophisticated item.
Carnelian is red with an orange tint. The mineral, after which the enamel paint is named, has been revered since ancient times as a stone with magical properties. These same qualities, according to the manufacturer, should be transferred to the car. Its owner will feel more confident in the general traffic flow.
Mars is the god of war and aggression. The latest development of AvtoVAZ, the Lada SV CROSS in this color carries a charge of energy that is not found in other modifications.
A phantom is an elusive and mysterious image. A car painted in this way is unrecognizable when the brightness of the light changes: from bluish to sparkling orange.
Angkor is the repository of the deity. The dark chocolate tone carries solemnity and life affirmation. This type of machine requires special care to maintain its appearance.
Lada in lime color means the most expensive package. The cheerful and slightly frivolous appearance of the handsome car attracts young drivers hungry for adventure.
Blues. A musical style characterized by modulations and a philosophical mood. Metallic blue shades evoke the mysterious depths of the sea.
The silver body is an uplifting color that indicates the quality of the car.
The metallic tint of krypton and pluto gives the shades depth and nobility.
Lada Vesta SV CROSS in Carthage color is a car striving for future achievements.

This will be discussed in more detail in the video review.
↑ Painting technology
The technological process of painting a body includes two main stages: priming and painting.
Important! Phosphate priming of metal products is good protection against corrosion.
Phosphoric acid forms salts with iron and zinc, which is used in phosphating surfaces.
Phosphates do not combine with oxygen, so they are not destroyed under the influence of water, atmospheric air and aggressive environments, and can withstand temperature changes from -75 to 500 degrees.
Priming includes several stages:
At the first stage, the surface is cleaned of traces of corrosion, degreased, washed and dried. For this purpose, sandblasting machines, pickling, washing and drying chambers are used.
The process of applying primer is carried out using the electrochemical method in a galvanic bath. Metal parts of the body are anodes due to the supply of a negative charge to them from a direct or alternating current source. The primer solution has a positive charge. Phosphate cations are deposited on the metal, forming an ionic compound. The process takes up to 20 minutes, forming a film up to 20 microns thick. At the next stage, the primed products are washed and dried and sent for painting.

Interior
Judging by the statements of company representatives, when they created the interior of the new car, they used only high-quality materials. It would not be superfluous to say that the interior turned out to be exactly identical to the standard version. The panel installed in front was made in a very interesting style, in the form of 3 wells. It is complemented by various interesting elements and discreet blue lighting.
The seats installed in front have received increased comfort. According to the manufacturers, thanks to them, the driver will be able to feel very comfortable, despite long trips. They were made from high-quality filler and have full lateral support.
In addition to the main settings, the driver's seat has the option of adjusting the height. The console installed in the center managed to attract the eye. It looks bright, colorful and quite functional. Thanks to the convenient location of the driver, it is quite easy to operate even when driving. With the help of a certain angle of location, the appearance of the panel has become more ergonomic.
Even the basic configuration of the domestic new product has a climate control system, and there is also an information and media complex with a display that supports touch input. Due to the fact that the new car will come in an extended body, it can be assumed that there will be even more free legroom for people sitting in the back.
So far, official representatives are not talking about the stated dimensions of the car due to the fact that the work has not yet been completed and the production model may differ slightly from the concept version. The color of the plastic inserts on the door trim can be matched to the main color of the station wagon, which not only complements the car’s interior, but also connects it with the exterior appearance.
Many motorists will like the updated steering wheel of the Lada Vesta Cross SV, which now has leather upholstery and has become more comfortable in the hands due to its increased thickness. The steering wheel of the car provides an abundance of function keys, including the start option for heating the steering wheel. The upholstery of the seats has the addition of fabric inserts to match the main color scheme of the car.
Metal nameplates with the name “LADA” appeared under the headrests. Thanks to this, the interior of the car becomes not only stylish, but also prevents abrasion of this very contact part of the chair. It is also worth noting that a screen that supports touch control of the infotainment system is provided even in the standard version.
Such solutions can be found very rarely even among automobile manufacturers around the world. It is expected that the trunk will be able to receive as much as 500 liters of usable space, which, if necessary, can be increased by folding the rear seat backs. At the moment, it is not yet clear whether the production model will have an underground luggage compartment, a curtain and special rails for a more comfortable mounting of the trunk, which the concept car was famous for.

Comparing these cars is one of the saddest tests. And that's why.
Production began back in September, but all the cars were sold out in one week.
There is no single date; dealers will hold their presentations within two months.
Both cars will enter the market at the same time, but with different price tags: let’s find out whether it makes sense to overpay for the crossover version.
There is less than a month left before the start of sales, we are finding out whether the new Vestas are worth considering for purchase.
The all-terrain cross modification will cost at least 775.9 thousand rubles, sales will start on October 26.
The first photos of the Vesta SW interior also appeared.
Sales will begin next month.
Closer to the start of sales, more and more station wagons are seen on the roads.
Features of body colors on LADA Vesta SW Cross
The body colors are varied and here drivers have the opportunity to slightly customize the car to suit their individual tastes. Today the manufacturer offers a choice between 10 colors. They are mostly neutral without strong pigmentation. Although this decision cannot be considered a minus - our roads turn any vehicle into a faceless mountain of dirt. This way minor contamination becomes less noticeable.
By the name of the colors, you can determine that the designers were inspired by the solar system and other star clusters. Many drivers find something extraordinary in this for a manufacturer with a Soviet past. In terms of price, only one paint coating costs more than the rest, but it is clearly intended for top trim levels, where price is not an issue. The cost ranges from 12 thousand to 18 thousand rubles.
It is difficult to determine which colors are best. The entire color range is strictly maintained in its classic range. The manufacturer clearly wanted to offer its buyer the expected exterior, and not try to take risks for the benefit of fashion trends. The new Lada Vesta is visually prettier than its predecessors, which implies a job well done by AvtoVAZ.
