OREANDA-NEWS. Production of LADA Granta in a body "liftback" by the end of 2017 can be carried out from Izhevsk to Togliatti, where Granta is also produced, but in the "sedan" body, according to sources of the company. The ability to transfer is studied, but there is no solution yet.

The transfer of liftback Granta to the Togliatti automobile plant would allow the concern to free up the capacity for expansion of the production of LADA Vesta in Izhevsk. Now there is produced a sedan of this family, and in the second half of 2017 it will begin the production of Vesta estate car and its cross-version.

Recall that in July of 2012, Izhevsk Automobile Plant started the production of sedan LADA Granta, and in May 2014 on the assembly line of the enterprise it was replaced by liftback of this model.
