2017–2026 Lada Vesta 1.6 16v Specs & Performance

The Lada Vesta 1.6 16v marked a new chapter for Lada, bringing a more contemporary design and a noticeably more modern feel to its compact-sedan lineup. Its naturally aspirated engine kept the mechanical package uncomplicated, while the four-door body offered the practicality expected from a family-focused sedan. Produced across 2017–2026 in this specification, the Vesta 1.6 16v found its appeal in straightforward everyday usability rather than outright speed, combining familiar engineering with a more up-to-date approach to affordable motoring.

A 1.6-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder delivers 105 hp and 109 lb-ft of torque, with a 5-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels. The setup gives the Vesta a predictable, conventional driving character, while its naturally aspirated powertrain avoids the added complexity of turbocharging. Together, the engine, manual gearbox and front-wheel-drive layout make this version a clear example of Lada’s practical approach to compact sedan design.
