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.

In 1988, approximately 6,000 Lada Samaras were modified by Peter Brock's Special Vehicles operation that had previously made high performance Holden Commodores.
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 A$3,000 more than the base model Samara.
