The fact that the Lada Vesta sedan, which is preparing for mass production, will receive a long-wheelbase version, information began to appear on the Internet quite a long time ago, even before the official presentation was scheduled. On social networks they even began to call it Lada Vesta VIP, but later the car received the official name Vesta Signature.
Later, the very first photos of the Lada Vesta Signature, a very real car, were published. Interestingly, Bo Andersson himself allegedly had no idea about its existence. According to the former head of AvtoVAZA, it follows that he proposed to engineers to implement something similar many times, but he did not expect that they would decide to do it.
The interior uses genuine leather in black and gray shades, as well as Alcantara. Quality and prestige are emphasized by the elegant chrome finish and the comfortable and wide armrest.

Long autograph
— Please do not dirty the salon. Immediately after you the car will go to Mr. Andersson!
In the best corporate traditions, the president of AVTOVAZ became a regular passenger of the “limousine” based on Vesta. Driving cars from your own factory is a sign of good manners at all times and in all countries. But until the long Vesta is handed over to the “owner”, we will take a ride on it!
Start of vesta signature sales
The future of the car is not yet entirely clear. Under former CEO Bo Andersson, no deadlines were given, but they often talked about plans to put the car into production. Today, top managers have changed and the further direction of the plant’s development has not yet been announced. So does vesta signature have any prospects? After all, these single copies are clearly not intended for serial sales, they are more like an exclusive order of not poor people. However, the factory workers are optimistic that if there is demand, then vesta signature can go into production with a high probability.

What is a limousine without good sound insulation! The Autograph is quieter than a standard sedan. Modified for a longer, heavier car with larger diameter wheels and suspension. Vesta Signature is shod with light alloy wheels with tires measuring 205/50 R17.
The power unit is still standard: VAZ-21129 engine with a power of 106 hp. and a five-speed robotic gearbox. If things go well, then the new 1.8‑liter engine, which we have already talked about, will take root under the hood (ЗР, 2021, No. 1).
The idea of a new version
Lada Vesta Signature is not the first such version of Lada.
Previously, experiments with increasing dimensions were carried out with the Lada Priora. Then the concept version of Priora Premier was presented, the base length of which was increased by 17.5 centimeters. At the time of the attempt to introduce such a car, VAZ did not have sufficient capacity for this, so the project of an extended Priora froze at the embryonic stage. Today, after successful sales of the new Lada Vesta sedan and X-Ray crossover, the Tolyatti concern has reached a completely new level. Therefore, there are rumors that mass production of the long Vesta is quite within the capabilities of AvtoVAZ. So far, there is no exact information about whether cars of this type will roll off the assembly line in large quantities. At this stage, the version closest to the truth sounds like this: Lada Long will in the near future be produced only under individual orders.
This device is designed to become an attribute of consumers who cannot imagine driving without comfort and space, as well as a solid appearance. To achieve this effect, the body was modified. Lada took the form of a luxury car.
What kind of gas tank does she have?
The fuel tank of the model is no different from a regular Vesta. It has a volume of 55 liters. A new solution at AvtoVAZ: a characteristic feature of the signatures is that the fuel tank lid is opened by pressing a key in the car’s interior.
Engine characteristics, fuel consumption
Power 123 hp Engine volume 1.8 l Acceleration from zero to hundreds of kilometers per hour 13.8 seconds Maximum speed 180-195 km/h Fuel consumption 7.9 l (average when driving on a mixed highway) Highest thrust 170 nm
It is worth noting that the Lada Vesta signature engine is equipped with a sixteen-valve timing device and a systematized control device for gas distribution cycles.
Technical characteristics of Lada Vesta Signature
The starting version of the project was equipped with a 1.6 liter unit. with a power of 106 horsepower. Later, this idea was abandoned and the current configuration of the car is equipped with a 1.8 engine with a power of 122 hp. With. This decision was made due to the fact that the original version of the engine did not cope very well with the enlarged base of the Vesta Signature (2885 millimeters). Documented acceleration from zero to hundreds takes 14 seconds, which is very good for an elongated body. The maximum speed limit is currently in the range of 170-190 km/h.
The Business Lada is equipped only with a robotic transmission, which has a set of additional functions that allow you to set the mode for the smoothest driving dynamics, which has a positive effect on the comfort of passengers and on the general condition of the car (ensures its safety). With an automatic transmission, a car consumes an average of about 8 liters per 100 km in a modern city. Gear shifting is smooth and stable, adding to the ease of control.
The signature is equipped with a suspension that, in principle, is not much different from the model from the production model, except that this version is modified to accommodate an elongated body and has several elements to strengthen the structure. To improve handling and maneuverability, the steering rack became shorter and the speed decreased (2.8). The signature is packed with a standard set of electronic systems: exchange rate stability (ESP), an HSA anti-rollback complex and a system that stops slippage on the move (TSC).

Features of the modified Vesta
The Lada Vesta Long version received a finally formed exterior thanks to modifications to the body. The designers designed the updated car platform in such a way that, despite the increase in length, the Lada fully retained all the features of the X-shaped concept and in profile was not only longer, but also more beautiful than the production sedan. This was achieved through the use of the latest methods, which VAZ is constantly experimenting with. This is encouraging, because with the introduction of new design options, the concern is gradually raising the bar from year to year. The modified wheelbase and body length create the main effect of the transformation from a sedan to a limousine.
Dramatic changes occur due to:
- the use of a longer wheelbase in the Signature (by as much as 25 cm), after the changes it is equal to 2.86 m;
- a radical increase in body length by 25 cm (now Vesta has reached an impressive length of 4.46 m);
- moving the rear passenger seats 5 cm forward;
- visible increase in the rear door openings of the Signature;
- increasing the vertical height between the rear seats and the ceiling.
Improving the door opening is another trump card in winning over a wealthy government audience. After all, most upper-class people prefer to travel with a personal driver. Therefore, when sitting in the rear seat, the important person will feel comfortable and spacious.

Photos of the salon
The main changes to Vesta in the Signature version affected the interior: now the passenger can safely cross his legs (unless, of course, he is from the NBA team). In the rear of the cabin there is now a full-fledged sofa that can definitely accommodate only two passengers: it is divided by a functional tunnel, which here not only plays the role of an armrest, but also has a functional panel with cup holders, an ashtray, seat heating buttons, a cigarette lighter and a USB connector. The leather interior trim is interspersed with inserts in neutral colors, which only adds charm and comfort to the Lada Vesta Signature. It was decided to avoid plastic in the interior trim as much as possible - leather and chrome decorative elements predominate. Each passenger has personal lighting and footlights (located in the doors). The sofa has hidden functionality - the backrest adjustment angle is very high (which, you must agree, is too good for a domestic car).
The enlarged rear door opening also increased comfort - getting into and out of the car is much easier and more convenient. Another innovation appeared here - the car is equipped with pillarless doors (no slats in the window opening). This decision was not easy: the window lifting mechanism was invented from scratch. The Lada Signature was also not deprived of noise insulation - the body was lined with special material at the assembly stage. Adding comfort while driving is a whole range of proven solutions that allow for maximum optimization of movement by means of a vehicle transmission, which we will talk about later.
