Lada XRAY is a concept car by AvtoVAZ. It was presented in August 2012 during the Moscow International Automobile Salon. It is designed by Steve Mattin.
Overview
The prototype of the car is produced by Vercarmodel Saro (Italy).[1] The cost is $1 000 000.[2] The crossover receives an equally edgy styling complete with a leather coated seating arrangement, along with a futuristic dashboard and infotainment system.[3] It has a stylish exterior, featuring a pair of long and thin headlights. The front grille looks almost like an “X” when you look at it. It is likely that crossover Lada XRAY would receive most of its competition from the Nissan Juke. It was assumed that it will have a small 4- or 6-cylinder engine, as it is an economy model".[4]
As it sits, the Xray is still in concept form, but it is possible that we could see the new design style in the lineup (BM-Hatch, B-Cross and LADA B), which will be carried out in the years 2015-2016 as early as 2015.[5] AvtoVaz gave no details of SUV’s powertrain. AutoVAZ hopes that Mattin's expertise will bring the brand to the forefront of the Russian market beginning with their all-new concept.
The name has two meanings: as an X-Ray (a form of electromagnetic radiation) and as an abbreviation (X - crossover class, Recreation, Activity, Youth).[6]

Reaction
According to Justin Cupler of TopSpeed, Lada kept its Lada XRAY SUV under "such tight lock and key that it took all of us aback when it was debuted at the Moscow Motor Show".[7] And it was mentioned that Lada XRAY’s cabin also continues the progressive design of the exterior.[8]
