According to the manufacturer, the sedan, equipped with an engine producing 113 horsepower and a continuously variable automatic transmission Jatco JF015E, can accelerate to 100 km/h in 12.2 seconds, while its top speed reaches 170 kilometers per hour. For comparison, the Vesta with a less powerful engine of similar displacement, producing 106 horsepower, and a manual transmission accelerates to 100 km/h in 11.2 seconds, and its maximum speed is 182 kilometers per hour. The figures for the version with the same engine but with a robotic gearbox: acceleration to 100 km/h — 14.1 seconds, maximum speed — 182 kilometers per hour.
In the combined cycle, the new model consumes 7.4 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, in urban mode consumption increases to 9.9 liters, and outside the city — decreases to 6.0 liters.
Assembly of the Vesta with a CVT began in the first days of October, and it is expected to go on sale very soon. Along with the new engine and transmission, the model also received a number of changes in the exterior and interior — among them exterior mirrors with automatic folding and frameless wipers. The seats are now upholstered in a combined material of leather and fabric with an original pattern, and for rear passengers there is an armrest with cup holders.
