The Lada Vesta is a compact car produced by the Russian car company AvtoVAZ since 2015.[2] It was presented in August 2014 during the Moscow International Automobile Salon[6] and went into mass production on 25 September 2015 in Izhevsk.[7]

Bo Andersson, President and CEO of AvtoVAZ, was responsible for improving overall operations and quality at AvtoVAZ, enabling the Lada Vesta – AvtoVAZ' first completely new platform in several years – to launch on-time and with the highest crash safety rating in its class.[8]

Within days after the Lada Vesta went on sale in November, it became one of the best-selling cars in the Russian market.[9] In 2018, Lada Vesta became the Best Selling Car in Russia.[10]

Lada introduced a station wagon and a "Cross" version of the station wagon, with higher ground clearance, in September 2017. A "Cross" version of the sedan, with more ground clearance than a Toyota RAV4, arrived in the first half of 2018.[11]

In September 2022, the president of Lada, Maxim Sokolov, announced the creation of two new Lada models, one of them to be a crossover on the Vesta built on the Lada B/C platform of Renault conception, and the other a separate Lada family of compact cars "on a global platform". The new Vesta would be the first new model to be launched after the transition of Vesta production from Izhevsk to Togliatti.[12]
