The new Niva (Lada) 4x4, which received the beautiful name Vision, will appear at the end of 2018. The first photos of the car are truly impressive. The concept of a new generation model became the most striking new product of the 2018 Moscow Motor Show.

The decision is final and confirmed by the management of AvtoVAZ. In 2018, production of Lada 4×4 cars will begin, which will be based on the Renault Duster, which received enormous and well-deserved popularity in Russia. By the way, their own platform for the Niva was also developed, but in the end, it was decided to abandon it in favor of unification.

Most likely, even the production of both brands of cars will take place on the same assembly line of the plant in Tolyatti.

When we talk about the new Niva, we mean the Lada 4x4 all-terrain vehicle. If classic model was a three-door, then, as can be seen in the first photos of the new product, the new generation of all-wheel drive Lada will be released in a five-door body. Although, in an effort to maintain the “three-door” design, innovative hidden handles were provided for the second row of doors.

The Niva first appeared back in 1977. The country needed a good and reliable car for rural off-road, and they were destined to become the new VAZ model.

Start of sales in Russia and the price of the new product

Since the manufacturer has not yet disclosed the main technical specifications new items, it’s too early to say what the price of the new Lada 4×4 2018 will be. On this moment Only one thing can be said with confidence: the charismatic new product will cost significantly more than its predecessor. Although, most likely, the price will be slightly lower than Renault cost Duster.

Watch the video from the new Lada Niva 4×4 Vision:

Despite the words of many experts in the automotive field, the Lada 4x4 2018 will still hit the market. As a base, this SUV uses a very famous representative French automotive industry - . At the same time, it cannot be said that this is a blind copy, because many of the mechanisms and elements used are taken from the classic Niva.

Looking at the photo one can assume that new body will be a real breakthrough and will continue the trend of intensive development of the domestic automobile industry, which, from a design point of view, is becoming increasingly big competitor for foreign cars.

In the front part, the Niva 4x4 2018 has changed fundamentally, while, of course, you can detect subtle familiar features of previous versions. The radiator grille turned out neat, visually highlighted with stylish chrome-colored metal strips. The optics remained familiar, the same round as before, but the lights are now placed in headlights of a slightly different shape. As in all domestic cars, they are made using conventional halogen technology, which, of course, is already outdated compared to the variety that is used in the foreign automotive industry. The appearance of the turn signals has changed. The hood turned out to be very large and slightly embossed. The bumper is solid and powerful, has many additional elements defenses that speak directly to off-road performance cars.

In profile they immediately catch your eye high ground clearance and large wheel arches. Several decorative elements and relief details have also been added, giving it an even more sophisticated and stylish look. appearance. Some doubts are raised by small windows, which can create certain viewing problems.

Looking at the stern, it is simply impossible not to admire what the restyling has brought. Visually domestic car very difficult to distinguish from the most expensive and premium crossovers and SUVs. Exhaust system made not in the classic round form, but in a double square form. The optics look modern and neat, rear bumper powerful and tough.

Interior

Where no changes are observed is in interior decoration. Compared to the phenomenal exterior, the interior is designed in a classic manner, virtually no different from what has been observed over the years Russian consumers. For finishing, the simplest materials are used, such as inexpensive fabric and fairly hard plastic. Large backlashes and gaps are striking.

The center console is very ascetic. There are only a few simple levers and buttons on it. The multimedia system that has already become traditional for many brands is not here; you can only install a simple radio and speakers to listen to music.

The steering wheel is very ordinary; there are no buttons on it to control the functions of the car. On a positive note You can call it the ability to adjust it over a wide range. The instrument panel is standard, mechanical.

All the seats are basic. Upholstered in the most ordinary fabric, very hard material is used for padding. Despite this, for a person of any size the chairs will be quite comfortable, and even long trip won't become too tiring. There will be quite a bit of space in the back due to the strongly protruding tunnel, as a result of which only the smallest passenger can fit in the middle.

Specifications

Information about what overall characteristics Lada 4x4 2018 will receive are missing, but we can assume that they will at least not be inferior to the pre-restyling car. Power plants pretty standard, most likely in basic version it will be a classic 1.7 liter engine. According to rumors, the car will also be equipped with a brand new engine, already tested in . It is quite obvious that last motor much more dynamic and sharp.

Due to the pronounced off-road focus, there is no option to select a gearbox. It will be exclusively mechanical. The drive can only be all-wheel drive. Chassis– innovative, developed by engineers precisely so as not to get stuck even on a washed-out road. All this allows you to easily overcome even the most difficult obstacles.

The trunk is large, as in all modern cars You can fold the back row to dramatically increase its capacity.

Options and prices

Like most domestic cars, new model will receive configurations that differ from each other solely in the level of equipment. A completely logical solution for the Russian market is to release basic version available maximum number of people. Its price will be only about 450 thousand rubles. This was done due to the almost complete removal of options, of which only a minimal number remains in the car, such as a safety system, including front airbags and ABS, power windows for the front doors and audio preparation.

Start of sales in Russia

Representatives of AvtoVAZ do not say when the release date in Russia will take place; therefore, there is no appointment for its test drive yet. Moreover, according to many experts, there is no exact certainty that the Lada Niva 2018 will advance anywhere further than just a nice concept.

Competing models

Direct competitors new Lada Niva 4x4 2018 model year It’s unlikely to have, because you can’t find it similar car pretty hard. The closest is the representative of the French automobile industry, which, in fact, was taken as the basis for the creation of the Niva. Moreover, if in matters of comfort, dynamics, appearance one can doubt that domestic car will be no worse than its competitors, then in terms of off-road properties and the ability to overcome any, even the most difficult obstacles, it will definitely give a head start to even the coolest and most advanced models, regardless of their cost.
