Perspective
The Azimut was first unveiled in the summer of 2025 at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.[1] According to AvtoVAZ, the model was developed entirely by Russian specialists.[1] Production of the Azimut is scheduled to begin in 2026.[1]
According to AvtoVAZ President Maxim Sokolov, the Azimut is the second new crossover in the Lada lineup in nearly three decades (after the Vesta Cross/Vesta SW Cross). The development process took three years.[2] Around a thousand new components were designed for the car.
Unlike the Lada Vesta, the wheelbase of the Azimut has been increased from 2,635 to 2,675 mm. The length of the vehicle is 4,416 mm, the width is 1,838 mm, the height is 1,608 mm, and the ground clearance is 208 mm.[3]
At AvtoVAZ's open house on 20 July in Tolyatti, the second prototype of the Azimut was unveiled. It differs from the previously unveiled orange show car in its more subdued dark mint color scheme and the use of stamped body panels. These changes indicate the model is highly prepared for production, scheduled for the first half of 2026.[4]
The crossover is expected to cost around 2.5 million rubles. The Azimut is seen as the successor to the Xray and is targeted at the affordable family car segment.[5]
Confirming recent rumors, AVTOVAZ has officially registered a patent for the exterior design of the Azimut. This is the second patent related to the new model: an air intake grille was previously registered, reflecting the key stylistic features of the future car—aggressive lines and a modern character.[6]
