The detail that surprised in Russia's second largest city was the Lada Largus car model.
“By the way I was telling you. There are many cars, we fix our MCV, only here the Lada Largus is called. It's one to one! There are also expensive cars, new cars here.”says Marian Marcel in the clip posted on YouTube.
18 years away from the presentation of the first family model under the Dacia logo, Russian factories still produce the broad version. This although Renault has closed his business in the region shortly after the triggering of the Ukraine war.
According to the official site, the price of a standard model starts at about 4,500 euros.
- The YouTube account Marian Adventures has 127,000 subscribers. The clips constantly exceed 50,000 views, content being related to travel around the world.
Lada Azimut, the car produced entirely in Russia
Lada Largus dominates the streets, but the Russian company also launches new models, most recently azimut, a Crossover SUV.
According to Carscoop.com, Azimut will have a price between 27,000 and 32,000 euros, being the most expensive car of Lada. The new model of Lada, by price and equipment, could be compared to the Bigster and Duster models from Dacia, but the Romanian cars are slightly cheaper, with prices between 23,000 and 25,000 euros.
The ones from Lada opted in the motor chapter only for thermal engines: a 1.6-liter aspirated engine that will produce 120 horsepower or a 1.8-liter aspirated engine that will develop 132 horsepower. The ones from Lada also promised a 150-horse turbine engine.
