FactDesigned at AvtoVAZ but built by nobody there: Lada handed the Oka to two other factories entirely, plus a licence line in Azerbaijan.
The Lada Oka (VAZ-1111, also badged SeAZ-1111, KamAZ-1111 and Astro), designed at AvtoVAZ in the late 1970s under Yuri Kuteev but never built there, entered production in 1988 as a city car outsourced to the SeAZ factory in Serpukhov and to ZMA in Naberezhnye Chelny (also built under licence in Azerbaijan). Its original 644 cc SOHC two-cylinder engine made 33 hp for a 125 km/h top speed; later versions grew to a 749 cc twin, a 993 cc FAW-sourced three-cylinder, a 1,091 cc MeMZ four-cylinder, or a fully electric variant. Front engine, front-wheel drive, 4-speed manual. The Wikipedia article is flagged as needing more citations and gives no wheelbase, body dimensions or curb weight anywhere on the page, so those fields are left unset here rather than estimated.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.
