VAZ 21015 – the people's car in a new wrapper

Surprisingly, work on a restyled version of the designers of AVTOVAZ began 20 years ago when there was a goal to change the design of the 99-th model. We have discussed various versions, and then decided to remove the outdated bumpers, replacing them with new ones – with rounded corners. VAZ 21015 got moldings-rocker panels that are "poured" into the edges of the wings and the more pointed and long hood. Complements the way small original wing on the trunk lid.

New image appropriated not only the fifteenth of the model. Pioneers in the new version were made by the classmates on the project “Sputnik 2” - hatchbacks 13 and 14 of the model (restyled version of the VAZ 2108 and VAZ 2109, respectively), after which it saw the light of the announced VAZ 21015 and modifications of it. Start of serial production of new sedan was planned for 1994, but the country was experiencing not the best of economic times, so work on the unfinished project “Samara-2” have been periodically suspended due to lack of funding. Almost all the money and effort went into finishing work on a totally new car (“ten”) and the new “Satellites” gradually started to forget. In the end, the development of VAZ 21015 took more than two years, and in 1996 it in small batches put into production, and even after 5 years on the factory Assembly line began a full Assembly of cars.

Compared with the “ninety-ninth” VAZ 21015 was a bit longer. Greatly changed the exterior of the car, almost completely upgraded interior, in turn, the roof, doors and sides remained the same. This tuning VAZ 21015 added to the car some characteristic features, namely: the new shape of the hood and front fenders, original headlights, stylish taillights with interesting decorative insert, bumpers body color, trunk spoiler with built-in extra “stop”, door moldings, and original sculpted side skirts, an updated trunk lid and new lighting equipment.

There is a perception that certain design decisions were borrowed from the already mentioned “dozens” a similar point fixing seat belts, finally, steering column adjustments, and the instrument panel. As for the exterior, here, drawing an analogy with the tenth sedan, we can talk about located on the bumper the license plate. As for the cost of VAZ 21015, the price of a new car is within 10 thousand dollars.
