[6] A five-door hatchback variant, aimed at replacing the discontinued Lada Samara 2 series in the line-up, debuted in 2014.

Moreover, the Granta will likely compete with the foreign market in Russia, since most European superminis exported there are hatchbacks, thus are smaller yet more expensive.

[14] In September 2022, Lada offered five versions of the Granta: Sedan, Cross, Liftback, Drive Activ, and Station Wagon.

The Station Wagon is also available in two special versions, Club and Cross Quest, with the latter featuring painted roof and rails in black, alloy wheels in black and silver, special interior upholstery, cargo net, heated windscreen, two airbags, multimedia capabilities, rear view camera, parking sensors, and air conditioning.

[19] The AvtoVAZ division VIS-AVTO produces special commercial vans and refrigerated trucks for various purposes on the Lada Granta platform.

The main driver of the team was James Thompson,[20] while a second car was driven by Aleksey Dudukalo and Mikhail Kozlovskiy.
