The XCode Lada Concept is the new surprise just give out at the Moscow Motor Show, held until September 4 in the Russian capital. This is an SUV created under the technical direction of the British Steve Mattin, former designer of Mercedes-Benz and Volvo.
Lada, which since 2012 belongs to the Nissan-Renault alliance, takes a few years to renew its catalog with bets as Vesta sedan or XRay, the crossover subcompact low-cost based on the B0 platform francojaponesa alliance, which it shares with the Dacia Dacia Duster and Sandero.

This same platform could be the basis of the SUV XCode now, although the Russian company has not given many details about its concept car. It is known to use turbocharged engines versions of the house, so we can guess that the Type H (DIG-T, TCe) and dCi will be in the catalog. This, and four-wheel drive available as an option, something interesting in an SUV that has been conceived for the harsh conditions of Russian roads.
A SUV marked lines that could reach Europe
As for the exterior appearance presenting the Lada XCode obviously this keeps many points of contact with the Lada XRay, but takes a much more resounding front, with sharp features more than the crossover.
Maintains the lateral tremendously marked in a visual game that is complemented by a wraparound taillamps, and by the rear uses horizontal lines to visually increase the sense of stability, before showing some protections low that can serve a dual objective: functional and aesthetic.
Than advertised on its inner draw attention to the 10-inch touch screen and digital instrumentation. Lada has announced that the system interacts with the mobile application Lada Connect, which has utilities such as vehicle diagnostics in mobile, remote opening control of the vehicle or remote heating.
It is very interesting functions in Russia ... and perhaps out of there, because the rumors say that Lada would soon join to offer low-cost European market. The question is whether there is still room for the iconic brand Roys, or know their way in an increasingly saturated market clonic products.
