Maxim Kadakov, editor-in-chief of Za Rulem magazine, commented on reports that AvtoVAZ will simplify some Lada models and refuse some imported components and some options. He believes that such machines will still not be cheap.
In the worst case scenario, we can produce Grant and two Niva: Travel and Legend – without ABS, airbags and with a simplified multimedia system, well, without buttons on the steering wheel. AvtoVAZ will be able to produce the simplest configurations, but this also takes time. As a result, we will get a spread in quality, and these simplifications, oddly enough, will not lead to a price reduction. Less circulation – more expensive components, everything needs to be set up, tested, there will be problems with logistics, and our manufacturers of auto components “for 5 kopecks” will not agree to work. To put it mildly, we will get “cars with questions.”

Earlier, sources reported that the task had already been set to release the first “ragged” Lada Granta in May this year. Also, cars will be produced without ABS, ESP, ERA-GLONASS, and also without an airbag. In addition, Lada Granta will lose one or two oxygen sensors (lambda probes), rolling back in terms of emissions to about Euro-2. The engine control unit and its firmware will become simpler.
