The Russians do have a very long and proud automotive history. The problem is that most of it is built on copying other people. They did it with the Fiat-based sedan that has been in production for an eternity, and now they are doing it with help from Renault.
Back in the communist days, Romanians bought Dacias because they couldn’t afford Ladas. The Russian cars had better performance, equipment and shiny chrome trim. Now the tables have been turned, as Lada is making a Dacia based wagon.
Yes, the Dacia Logan MCV has been rebadged as the Lada Largus. The amusing thing is, with the arrival of the Lodgy and Dokker, Dacia is stopping production of the Logan MCV, so the Romanian brand now has more modern models.
Cosmetically, very little has changed. The grille is new but the headlight aren’t. Inside, the only different is the radio and the Lada badge on the steering wheel.
Prices for the Lada Largus start at RUB 417,000 (rubles) or €10,500 for the entry-lovel model equipped with the 8-valve 1.6-liter engine with 89 horsepower. There’s also a 16-valve version of the engine that sells for RUB 449,800 or €11,365. The only transmission option is a five-speed manual.
