At the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2025, AvtoVAZ presented the Lada Azimut crossover — the first completely new model of this class in 30 years. Mass production is scheduled for 2026.
The new Lada Azimut will feature heated front side windows, which will be heated by integrated filaments. AvtoVAZ representatives claim that this solution is being used for the first time in the world.
Lada Azimut is built on a modernized Lada Vesta platform and developed exclusively by Russian specialists. Engineers created about 1000 new components, including the body, optics, interior, and rear suspension. The car received a design with "X"-graphics, a sloping roof, 18-inch wheels, and LED optics. A ground clearance of 208 mm and plastic body kit provide off-road capabilities.
The interior is focused on comfort: panoramic roof, dual-zone climate control, power seats, surround-view cameras, and a digital panel.
The multimedia system based on Sber solutions with a 10-inch screen includes GigaChat voice control, 2GIS navigation, the "Sound" service, and fuel payment. Authorization via Sber ID provides access to personalized functions.
At the start of sales, Lada Azimut will receive 1.6 and 1.8 liter gasoline engines (120 and 132 hp) with manual or CVT. In the future, a 150 hp turbo engine with an automatic transmission will appear.
