The 2026 Lada Vesta model year received a number of new options, the most important of which were remote engine start and a keyless entry system, said Yurii Timkin, an expert for Za rulem magazine.
He recalled that the declared operating range of the remote engine start is 40 m.
This function allows the engine and cabin to be warmed up in advance before getting behind the wheel. A new button on the car key is responsible for its activation.
Another long-awaited innovation is proper keyless entry. The key no longer needs to be taken out of a pocket, and it no longer has to be placed on a special "mat" under the front panel so that the system does not lose the tag.
In addition, the 2026 model year Vesta received an updated "mid-range" Enjoy multimedia system in the lineup (with a seven-inch screen) featuring voice control and built-in Sber services.
A new body color was also added to the palette — Typhoon gray metallic. In a few months, AvtoVAZ plans to start equipping the Vesta with climate control.
