Model Cars - Lada
Lada is a Russian automobile brand and manufacturer, well known for producing a range of affordable, durable, and practical cars.
The brand is part of AvtoVAZ, which was founded in 1966 as a joint venture with the Italian company Fiat. Lada cars gained international recognition for their ruggedness, simplicity, and ability to handle tough conditions, especially in harsh climates and rural areas.
AvtoVAZ, the parent company of Lada, was established in 1966 in Tolyatti, Russia, and began producing cars under the Lada name in 1970. The brand's first mass-produced model, the Lada 1200 (also known as the VAZ-2101), was based on the Fiat 124, a compact car.
This marked the beginning of Lada's focus on building affordable, reliable cars for the Soviet Union and its allies. The Lada name became synonymous with simplicity, reliability, and resilience, especially in rural or off-road environments.
Lada has produced many notable models, some of which have achieved cult status due to their rugged design and reliability
In 2016, Renault and Nissan became significant stakeholders in AvtoVAZ, leading to an infusion of modern technology and design into Lada's vehicles. This collaboration has helped improve the quality and innovation of Lada models, making them more competitive on the international market.
