The Lada Vesta is a 4-door saloon / 5-door estate from Lada, built from 2015, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Under the bonnet: 1.6 . Steve Mattin drew it.
The story

What is underneath
Power comes from 1.6 other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 1230 -. It shifts through a 5-speed manual / 5-speed Automated manual transmission / automated manual / CVT. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2635 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Lada Priora; assembly was at Izhevsk (Lada Izhevsk), Russia. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Ferrari 488, the Chevrolet Camaro, the Ford Escort — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Lada catalogue sit the LADA Granta and the LADA Kalina.
