Facelifted Lada Vesta was officially presented on 22nd February 2022, just a few days after Russian invaded Ukraine. Due to uncertainty at the Renault-owned carmaker and sanctions, the ramp up of production was halted. Just about 800 cars were produced at Lada's Izhevsk plant till early March and 240 more cars in August to utilize parts stocks. The model was reengineered and simplified to reduce the number of western-source components (replaced by locally made and Chinese-made parts). Production was moved to the main Lada's Tolyatti plant and finally resumed in March 2023.
