Recently, the Russian car factory demonstrated a new model that will be assembled at the former Nissan plant in St. Petersburg. Many people were probably not pleased with the fact that the car is practically no different from the Chinese progenitor, so we decided to imagine how it could look in the current Lada style.
At the end of last year, the Nissan plant in St. Petersburg came under the control of AVTOVAZ. Since then, there have been rumors that it will produce cars from the Chinese concern FAW, and two weeks ago this information was confirmed. The next product of the so-called badge engineering will be put on the conveyor — the Lada X-Cross 5 crossover, which is the FAW Bestune T77 with new logos. By the way, this model has been officially sold in Russia since the end of 2021, and its debut on the home market took place back in 2018. Moskvich 3 became the first model of this kind, which tried on the nameplates of the Russian brand, and we had previously restyled it in retro style. Now let's try on the current style of the company for the new Lada crossover.

The main external feature of all new Lads is, of course, the X-design, which is most characteristically reflected in the front. The crossover shown in the renders will receive curved chrome moldings, a new radiator grille with large honeycombs in the style of the restyled Lada Vesta SW Cross and an updated front bumper. Branded stampings appeared on the sidewalls, while they were made a little more compact — about the same will be received by the future Lada Granta, the renderings of which we published recently. As for the rear part, here the Lada models cannot distinguish any characteristic details that unite them, so we focused on the company's latest novelty — the updated Vesta, from which we borrowed a decorative insert in the rear bumper. The crossover also received a new wheel design.

There are no official technical details about the new Lada yet, for sure the differences from the original FAW will be minimal. The Chinese crossover in Russia is offered with a single engine — a gasoline turbocharged 1.5 with a power of 160 hp. (258 Nm). It is quite possible that the characteristics of the version from the Russian automaker will be slightly different. A choice of 6-speed «mechanics» and a 7-speed DCT robotic gearbox with two clutches, front-wheel drive exclusively.
The assembly of the new Lada X-Cross 5 crossover will begin in June this year.

The cost of the Russian novelty is still unknown, we can only focus on the prices of the Chinese original, which is officially sold in Russia. The minimum price tag for the FAW Bestune T77 crossover is 2,169,000 rubles for the version with a manual transmission. The option with a “robot” is at least 104 thousand more expensive, and the most expensive Prestige Plus equipment is estimated at 2,432,000 rubles. .
