    The Vesta EV, built on the same platform as the company's new flagship sedan, the Lada Vesta, is equipped with a 60kW electric motor, which offers the equivalent of about 82 hp and has a battery capacity of 25 kilowatt-hours. The car's motor will allow the 1.4 metric ton sedan to go from 0-100 km/h in 15.5 seconds, and reach a top speed of 140 km/h.
