AvtoVAZ announced the resumption of production of cars with sixteen-valve engines. The VAZ-21129 engine with a volume of 1.6 liters (106 hp, 148 Nm) returned to the conveyor after almost a year’s break. To do this, the plant replaced many imported components, including pistons, rings and a control unit. Some of this was localized, something was picked up in China. The main characteristics of the engine have not changed.
Sixteen valves have already begun to be installed on Lada Granta cars, now the plant is forming a warehouse stock of cars, they will appear on sale later. Prices have not yet been announced either. AvtoVAZ now recommends selling grants with 90-horsepower eight-valve for 678-930 thousand rubles, although dealer prices are higher. And in May, 106-horsepower engines will be installed on the Lada Vesta.
