Production of LADA XRAY until the end of the year is not planned yet, as there is a strong dependence on foreign components. Therefore, now the engineering and procurement teams of AVTOVAZ are focused on those models that are of higher priority for the company. Dmitry Kostromin, vice-president of sales and marketing of JSC AVTOVAZ, informed about it in an exclusive interview to the analytical agency "AUTOSTAT". "As for the fate of LADA XRAY in general, as well as those Renault models that, under agreements, we could assemble in Russia, these issues will be discussed separately at the board of directors timed to defend the strategy," said Dmitry Kostromin.
Meanwhile, he confirmed AVTOVAZ's plans to expand its presence in today's largest SUV segment, where LADA brand is represented only by Niva SUVs. Most likely, a new car in this class will be designed on the basis of LADA Vesta. Recall that in early August, AVTOVAZ produced several units of LADA XRAY hatchback from the remaining components, and dealers had practically run out of cars of this model. Nevertheless, LADA XRAY is still presented in the model range list on the official LADA website.
The price of the high hatchback LADA XRAY is from 1 million 106 thousand 900 rubles, for the Cross version you will have to pay at least 1 million 249 thousand 900 rubles. According to the results of eight months of 2022, sales of LADA XRAY in the Russian market fell by 71% to 5017 cars, according to the data of AUTOSTAT agency and Electronic Passport JSC. But this model still entered the TOP-25 of the most popular cars in the Russian market.
