The XCODE could make use of the BO platform, the same platform that underpins the Nissan Juke and the Dacia Duster. Lada has not revealed any other details, and possibilities are that Lada could use turbocharged engines and offer four-wheel drive.

Apart from the XCODE's eye catching exterior, the interior gets a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a digital instrument console. Lada says the vehicle can interact with its Lada Connect smartphone app, which can do things like opening the vehicle, switching on the heating, display diagnostic information, and warn owners about faults.
