The Samara was introduced into the Australian market in July 1988, and was offered in three-door and convertible body styles. A three-door variant called the Bizivan was also offered, which was sold without rear seats in order to qualify as a commercial van, and therefore, lower import duties. In 1990, the range was pared down to a single five-door model, marketed as the Lada Cevaro. The 3-door returned in 1994 as the Lada Volante and the four-door was introduced as the Lada Sable. Imports had ceased by 1996.<ref>[http://www.redbook.com.au/used-cars/Lada/make.htm The Red Book], retrieved from www.redbook.com.au on 14 September 2009</ref>

In 1988, approximately 6,000 Lada Samaras were modified by [[Peter Brock]]'s [[Holden Dealer Team|Special Vehicles]] operation that had previously made high performance [[Holden Commodore]]s. The cars would be known as the Lada Samara Sedan Brock Delux and included a few subtle Brock-devised suspension tweaks to improve the car's low-speed ride, as well as a special body kit. It cost about [[Australian dollar|A$]]3,000 more than the base model Samara.
