The Lada X-Cross 5 project, which was widely advertised in the Russian media, was closed. Mass production of the Chinese crossover FAW was never able to be established under the Lada brand – only 170 cars were produced. This is reported by the website Motor.
The 170 Lada X-Cross 5 crossovers in question are now left in the open in the parking lot of the St. Petersburg assembly plant – a former Nissan plant that has been idle since 2022 and sold for 1 euro.
These copies of the “Chinese” Lada X-Cross 5 will not appear on the free market – they will be sold to corporate fleets of several companies from Moscow and Toliati. No further production of the model is planned, and all mention of it has now disappeared from the Lada website.
The reason for the failure of the project is that the Chinese concern FAW decided to withdraw after the introduction of additional American sanctions against AvtoVAZ – the Chinese were apparently afraid of falling under secondary restrictions and decided not to risk it. In the Russian Federation, they stopped supplying components for assembling the cars.
As we have already informed you, the new Lada X-Cross 5 would be an exact copy of the Chinese FAW Bestune T77. It should also be noted that on production cars, the FAW logo on the steering wheel remained in the cabin of the crossovers, as it could not be replaced.
