Overview
The Lada Granta is considered to be a step away from the classic A-, B-, and C-segment class cars and towards the needs of young Russians and small Russian families wanting supermini sedans designs that are somewhat more popular in Russia after 2010. 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.{{cite web| author=Aleksey Nepomnyashchy| date=28 March 2011| url=http://www.vedomosti.ru/newspaper/article/257304/v_poslednee_vremya_nekogda_dazhe_golovu_podnyat_igor_komarov| script-title=ru:"В последнее время некогда даже голову поднять", - Игорь Комаров, президент "АвтоВАЗа"| language=ru| publisher=Vedomosti.ru | access-date=18 August 2011}}

Renault ended its collaboration on the Lada Granta when Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022. When production restarted in June 2022, the Russian-made vehicle did not include airbags, anti-lock brakes, or pollution controls.{{cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/10/world/europe/russia-economy-mcdonalds.html | title=McDonald's is Back, Moscow Style, as Russian Economy Stumbles on | newspaper=The New York Times | date=10 June 2022 | last1=Troianovski | first1=Anton | last2=Nechepurenko | first2=Ivan }}
Exports to the European Union came to a halt in early 2022 as sanctions were applied to Russia following their invasion of Ukraine.
From August 23, Lada managed to overcome some of the consequences of international sanctions, and resumed production of the Lada Granta equipped with a driver's side airbag.{{Cite web |title=«АвтоВАЗ» возобновил выпуск Lada Granta c подушками безопасности |url=https://www.fontanka.ru/2022/08/24/71597123/ | website = Фонтанка [Fontanka] | date = 2022-08-24 | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20220829182156/https://www.fontanka.ru/2022/08/24/71597123/ | archivedate = 2022-08-29 }}
The Granta Lux earned three stars out of four and 10.5 points out of 16 in a crash test conducted in 2015 by ARCAP. The HIC was 590 for the driver and 428 for the passenger, whereas the compression of the thoracic cavity was measured as 28 mm and 25 mm, respectively.
