Insider KhaDm shared information about the Lada Iskra situation as of July 24, 2025. According to his observations in Togliatti dealerships, each showroom received two cars: one for display and another for future test drives, which are not yet being conducted. Purchase is not possible, prepayments are not accepted, and the timeline for the cars' availability for sale remains uncertain - dealers are only recording the contacts of interested parties in notebooks.
The total number of cars sent to dealers from the factory does not exceed 100 units, and only two or three cars have been sold in Russia, including isolated cases in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Some dealers may have violated AvtoVAZ's restrictions by selling test drive vehicles. The next batch of several dozen cars has not yet been announced, indicating a slow start to the project.
Interest in the model is fueled bya promotional photoshoot in Belarus, where a ginger cat became part of the display.
