The recommended retail price for this version of the Russian brand's five-door model is already known: it costs no less than 1,565,000 rubles.
In the hierarchy of the Russian brand Lada, the Iskra occupies a market niche between the Granta and the Vesta. The current family includes a sedan, a standard station wagon, and a "raised" five-door with the Cross suffix in its name. According to Autostat's calculations, in the first five months of this year, the Iskra sold 12,204 units in Russia, accounting for 2.5% of the total automotive market (for comparison, the Granta's share is 9.9%, and the Vesta's is 4.5%).
Now, the press service of AVTOVAZ has announced an expansion of the Iskra lineup: the company has prepared a station wagon – the Lada Iskra SW – with the "senior" 106-horsepower 1.6-liter engine, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. It is worth noting that such a "filling" was initially offered for both the sedan and the cross-wagon, but now it has also appeared in the standard five-door model.
It should be noted that previously, the Lada Iskra SW was only equipped with a 90-horsepower 1.6-liter engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission, as well as a 106-horsepower engine paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. In addition to the different powertrain, the new version of the Iskra station wagon also comes with 15-inch stamped steel wheels.
The station wagon with the new "filling" requires 12.7 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (for comparison, the standard five-door model with the same engine and automatic transmission takes 13.9 seconds). Its top speed is 174 km/h (versus 166 km/h for the CVT version), and the fuel consumption in the combined cycle for the new model is 7.8 liters per 100 km (compared to 7.2 liters per 100 km for the automatic version).
The equipment list for the Lada Iskra SW with the 106-horsepower engine and 6-speed manual transmission includes: a pair of front airbags, air conditioning, cruise control, rain and light sensors, heated mirrors and washer nozzles, heated front seats, an Lada Enjoy Evo infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen, and Lada Connect Start telematics.
The recommended retail price for the Lada Iskra SW with the new powertrain is already known – 1,565,000 rubles. For comparison, the price of the standard station wagon with the 90-horsepower engine (excluding current discounts) is 1,527,000 rubles, while the version with the 106-horsepower engine and automatic transmission costs no less than 1,677,000 rubles. Meanwhile, purchasing the Iskra sedan with the 106-horsepower engine and 6-speed manual transmission will cost 1,527,000 / 1,607,000 rubles, and the cross-wagon with the same "filling" will cost 1,657,000 / 1,737,000 rubles (available in Drive / Techno trims).
Meanwhile, AVTOVAZ is preparing a modernized classic off-road vehicle, the Lada Niva Legend. As became known at the beginning of this month, this model will receive an engine from the Niva Travel, revised chassis and bodywork, other electronic systems, and various other updates.
