Plus, the car spotted in Moscow does not have a central armrest, and the plastic has a smooth texture. Most likely, this is the so-called industrial sample, assembled using “bypass” technologies – the production car will have a textured one.

Overall, the equipment is rich. The photos show that even this LADA Azimut has a leather multifunctional steering wheel, a digital instrument panel, a multimedia system with a 10-inch touchscreen tablet, climate control, an electronic parking brake with the AutoHold function, a drive mode selector washer and two cup holders on the center console, covered with a decorative curtain.

Among other things, the basic configuration of the “Azimut” by default includes ABS and ESP systems, disc brakes all around, front airbags, LED headlights and taillights, keyless entry with a push-button engine start function and rear parking sensors. In expensive versions, side airbags are also added to this list.

Under the hood of the crossover caught on spy camera, judging by the six-speed manual selector, there is a 1.6-liter engine with 120 hp. In the top versions, the model will be equipped with a more powerful 132-horsepower 1.8-liter engine, working in tandem with a continuously variable transmission WLY of Chinese manufacture. The drive is front-wheel drive, regardless of the power unit.

As a reminder, work on the LADA Azimut was carried out over three years by Russian specialists: from the creation of the concept, layout and design to the design, production and adjustment of all systems, functions and driving characteristics. Its length, width, and height are 4416, 1838, and 1607 mm, respectively, meaning it will compete on the market with the Haval Jolion, Belgee X50, Tenet T4, and other similar models.
