Launch and Early Production
Additional production at the Izhevsk plant began in September 2012, right after the old VAZ‑2107 was removed from the line. The first body style offered was a five‑door hatchback aimed at a broad market.
Heritage from the Fiat 124
The Lada Granta’s roots trace back to the Fiat 124, which was built in the West from 1966 to 1974. Its predecessor, the Lada 2101, was a Fiat 124‑derived model, and over 4.8 million of those cars were produced in the first 18 years of Lada’s history.
First Year Milestone and Liftback Variant
The Granta celebrated its first full year on the market in 2013, marking a rapid entry into Russian sales charts. Production of the liftback version started on the Kalika platform, a complex that was put into operation between 2004 and 2008 and has produced more than 1.5 units of the model.
