Well-known designer Artemy Lebedev stated that the new Lada Azimut looks suspiciously similar to Chinese cars.
In his opinion, AvtoVAZ drew ideas not from Russian nature, but from neighboring countries, where the automotive industry is now actively developing.
It's absolutely normal to be inspired by anything, there are no restrictions in design, but it seems to me that the designers of this car were most inspired by the Chinese automotive industry.
The designer of the Lada Azimut model, Nikolai Suslov, said that he was inspired by the Zhiguli Mountains, the Urals, and the architecture of constructivism. That is, he tried to take something beautiful from history and landscapes.
The serial production of Lada Azimut is planned for 2026. The car will cost about 2.5 million rubles for the basic version.
