Lada does not build many cars like the Lada Azimut: a 5-door SUV, built from 2026 in the decade the industry is turning electric.
The story
The Lada Azimut is a compact crossover SUV produced by the Russian car manufacturer AvtoVAZ. It was first presented in 2025.
Under the skin
The record carries the shape — a 5-door SUV — and the layout: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The engine, output and weight have not yet reached the open record, and MotorJury does not guess at them.
Its place in the line
Where it sits in Lada's history is not in doubt: the Lada Xray came before it; it was built at Tolyatti, Samara Oblast, Russia. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Tesla Cybertruck, the Alpine A390, the Jeep Recon. Nearby in the Lada catalogue sit the LADA Granta and the LADA Kalina.
