In 2006, Nissan began building an assembly facility with capacity to produce up to 50,000 vehicles per year at the village of Pargolovo in Saint Petersburg,[2] incorporating it as Nissan Manufacturing Rus LLC (Russian: ООО "Ниcсан Мэнуфэкчуринг Рус") in June 2006.[3] The facility became operational in June 2009[4] and it produced various crossovers as the X-Trail, Murano and Qashqai.[2] By 2014, it was expanded to produce up to 100,000 vehicles per year.[4]
In March 2022, following a lack of components as a result of sanctions derived from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Nissan Manufacturing Rus halted operations.[2] In November 2022, the state enterprise NAMI acquired Nissan Manufacturing Rus (including its assembly plant,[5] a research and development facility, and the Moscow marketing and sales offices)[6] for a "symbolic price" with a six-year buyback option for Nissan. In February 2023, NAMI sold 99% of the company in turn to its AvtoVAZ subsidiary for €1. AvtoVAZ announced plans to use the Nissan Manufacturing Rus plant to assemble C and D-segment vehicle kits from other manufacturers, under the Lada badging.[5] In June 2023, the company was officially re-registered as Lada Saint Petersburg LLC. That same month, Lada Saint Petersburg announced its first model, the Lada X-Cross 5 crossover, a badge engineered Bestune T77 from FAW.[7]
