OREANDA-NEWS. AvtoVAZ until the end of this year will complete the production of the extended version of the SUV Lada 4x4. But this model in the three-door version will be produced by the plant at least until 2018. It is so ascording to the document entitled "Approval of Vehicle Type ", which was extended by AvtoVAZ for a three-door Lada 4x4 for another three years. But the elongated, five-door off-road SUV was not affected by this extension.

According to Avto.Vesti.ru, for VAZ-2131 the period of validity of the document expires on December 31st, and there is no chances that AvtoVAZ will have time to renew also this document. Currently AvtoVAZ concerned about the creation of the new "crossover" line - other compact but more passable crossover Xray Cross should join the presented recently hatchback Lada Xray. The appearance of a new generation of Lada 4x4 can take place only after the completion of these innovations: according to recent reports, it will happen no earlier than in 2017.

According to the analytic agency "AUTOSTAT", for 9 months of 2015 the market of an extended five-door LADA 4x4 was 5.2 thousand units.
