⛔️AVTOVAZ DECLARED HOPELESS❗❗❗ A HARSH VERDICT HAS BEEN RENDERED✅ NEWS TODAY

Alexey Podshchekoldin, president of the Association of Russian Car Dealers, criticized AvtoVAZ’s pricing policy, saying the new 2026 Lada Vesta, once priced at 600,000–700,000 rubles, now costs over 1.7 million and can reach 2–2.5 million, a two‑ to three‑fold increase. Despite AvtoVAZ’s claims of a full workweek and higher production, sales fell by about 25 % last year, with only 330,000 units sold compared to 440,000 a year earlier, while the broader Russian market declined 15 %. The sharp price rise and sales drop suggest a systemic failure, with many cars produced but finding no buyers.
