The 30l petrol tank was way too small to be practical. The window winders worked backwards. 1st and 3rd gear changed the presets on the radio. Mine had a 5-speed gearbox but the 5th gear had been disabled by the factory as they broke all the time. Now that I live in Californa there is no chance of getting one again - but I still dream of it.

Niva is a very capable car, but it requires some mods to unfold its full potential. First and foremost, good big mud tyres and LSD rear diff lock. Without diff lock, it's only half as capable, trust me. Also, to all those dimwits saying Niva was not upgraded since Stalin: it was. The last batch of upgrades was in the 2010-s.

I love the fact that people all around the world can enjoy the sheer simplicity and utility this car can offer- all of which quintessential russian spirit. Yes they are old, old fashioned, not realiable etc etc, but it has some positive point through which you really get to experience the russian soul. I am russian and when i ride a russian car despite all the dissasvantages it has it still makes your soul drop a happy tear

Just for additional information: The Bronto model comes with alot of basic upgrades to the offroad capabilities, while still being comfortable in the suburbs, and the new body kit is very sturdy. We took one to an actual offroad event where most professional cars are lifted 3 times the height and were able to clear all non submerging obstacles(talking about obstacles that literally half submerge cars with 100cm lift kits). We also took it on a drive through a special type of dry swamp that exists in Finland consisting mostly of red sand, very thick moss and thin woodland where you can mostly maneuver in bethween. We tested alot of vertical climbs that were way beyond my comfort zone, as it was a brand new car, yet it easily climbed its way up even the most loose sandy hills, while i was panicing my ass off burning clutch. Edit about Ladas in general after reading some comments: There is a lot of price disparity mostly due to taxing, culture and origin of the vehicles. When it comes to older Ladas there is a russian and export models, export models having actual paint on them for example(not a joke). If Ladas had strong presense in a country from 70-90s, its very likely they have additional value, possibly even decent club activities. And then theres the one everyone loves: taxing! you can pretty much 2.5x the russian price as far as most EU countries go when importing a car these days, turning a 7000€ car in russia to 20000€+ in EU, plus whatever the costs a reseller needs aswell. There was very recently some additional EU regulation changes aswell, which might prohibit Bronto, Vesta and X-ray models from being sold, until they are tested for new regulations, which is a subject on its own. Older Niva models should be fine tho.

​@@stefanstefan2105 I understand for some countries and regions the prices might be expensive or end up even more expensive due to distance, but locally we atleast (at the time) originally calculated that if we buy a blank niva and simply buy the bronco parts, it will be roughly 2000€ in rubles before tax(For tire profile and bronto specific parts for body and suspension, not interior or electrics which are simply better model accessories anyway). Even so, i would say the plastic types used for the body kit are a good design choice as they are similar to what you would find in french cars, which are flexible and bendy to insane levels, so most paintshops would be able to fix/repair affordably. Also they are mostly glued on their own brackets or literally on the car, so there is very little problems with little plastic holders or brackets being permanently damaged.

The general differences betheen the models after '95 are more subtle differences on the surface or adjustments to certain anglings for suspension parts, the base core of the car hasnt changed much. Even as far as the full electronic harness goes, there is only 2 models, before '94 and after, where newer only has optional plugs for more "modern" lights and washers. If i remember correctly air conditioner is separate standalone harness, so it has no effect on the actual electrics needed used by the car. What i found mostly troublesome was to replace my own '85 Niva's specific instrument electrics/small parts as it is really hard to find replacements, tho most of these are just "nice original things" that could be replaced with aftermarket buttons/switches/clocks/screens.

A guy in my village bought a 2nd or 3rd hand old Niva for a ridiculously low price (less than €1000). On the road, it won't drive past 50km/h and you can barely keep it in a straight line. But offroad... damn, what a beast!! This car can get anywhere, even through the most extreme paths, and it won't leave you stranded. An absolute killer!

Already owned one, repainted military green, was looking beautiful, but i don't know if i' ve been unlucky and got the wrong one, I've spent a lot of money to repair it,and after 8 years, i gave it away. Despite all the troubles the Niva gave me,i still have a place in my heart for this car !

And there is improved version of lada "4x4" in Russia - Chevrolet "Niva", take a look at it. 5 doors, new interior and exterior, improved (sort of) suspension. But a motor, conception and wheel formula is a same. Folks, classic russian domestic cars is a sort of extreme hobby outside ex-ussr borders)

I worked on them for a dealer in the 80s. good 4wd for the money. However the one thing we threw away from new was the alternator regulator. We would install a Australian made Bosch regulator.

My father had two, 1988 and 1996. The 88 lasted longer. We used to pull crazy amount of weight using a farm trailer. There was a crank to start in the front. Good memories. I'd buy one if I could.

When I went to Russia the Niva caught my eye and I've been curious about it ever since.

I own one and when I get to drive a normal car, even a Fiat, it feels like I'm driving a Ferrari but it also gives me anxiety because with the Niva I can go anywhere without worrying about scratching the rims, hitting the curb with the bumper and so on. Park in the mudd on the side of the road or go on the high curb that a normal car couldn't climb. And these cars have a high fuel consumption. Obviously the research was poorly done.

You mention one of the things why I like the Lada Niva: its simplicity. I like that.

As happens in FIATs, it is said that main prob with Niva's is rust. Anyway, you did a nice review of a classic new 4x4. Thumb up, of course !

A miracle why?

I still have one a 2006 model on gas and petrol, ideal in Bulgarian winters

I recently bought one. Couldn't be happier.

They are cool. Seen many in my travels in Eurasia, but first drove one in Ecuador.

I fell in love with this car the first time I put my finger in Russia. Unfortunately, there are no professional Lada seller in France anymore, only second hand market. I will move to Moscow in about 5 years, and I know I will buy a Lada, 5 doors models for me and my family 🇷🇺 It cost about 7000€ for a new one there.

@@hugoj4839 that's awesome, sounds like you are living a great life. I live in Minnesota and looking to get a Niva myself but they are very expensive here. They are all showroom quality, I wish I could find an affordable one.. Happy New years to you as well.

Used one for deep desert work in Oman in the 80's. Only mods required were wider tyres and an extra bank of cores in the radistot

A very good looking car. I'm glad the interior has been redesigned.

A bit off topic, but I've owned a Lada Samara, and it was a pretty good car; mine had good build quality and was dependable. There were lots of Nivas on the road back in the eighties, and I think it would be a great vehicle for the "zombie apocalypse".

Lada: you cant improve perfection

Russia once bought a lot of meat from New zealand about 40 years ago but they had no money to pay for it so they shipped thousands of Ladas to New Zealand to pay for it

I reckon it was during the Russian economic default in the 90s? I remember similar story when they shipped a batch of diesel locomotives (of all things!) to an American grain company to pay for their grain. It's extremely rare when instead of money you pay with a high tech product in return for a low tech product and not the other way around. Now Russia has once again gained positions as a major food exporter.

Had one from new. Replaced the standard carb for a Weber down draft which improved power output considerably. It was a good off road vehicle BUT, reliability and durability were not as good as you might imagine. Still, probably reasonable value for the money.

Brilliant machine, owned one from new for 5 years in the UAE/Oman serious off-road capability.

i would buy it for it's beauty and style alone, you knave!

First car I got to drive was an 02 Lada niva. Man its a blast, despite having no low end torque and about as much power as my 56 y/o Volvo p210. I still find it fun to drive on gravel roads at high speed. Also you really don't want to drive the niva at +60mph, I found 55 to be a comfortable cruising speed.

Well i do own 1993 Lada Niva 1.7 4x4 (VAZ-2121) and its PERFECT !!!!

I totally agree! I love this car

I like the Lada Niva! 👍 Greetings from Romania

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" never made so much sense... Well, except it's a Lada Niva, so ya know... It will never break...

It is simple - yes. But prepare to spend (or should I say waste?) time under that thing regularly. Speaking from experience of my friend who sells darn things for living. And don't forget really weak stock engine. It is only good for swinging by your local 24/7 to buy another bottle of vodka when you run dry (if you live in some rural area where normal roads are non existent and there is like one store for the whole community). Other purpose of this vehicle is to go fishing/hunting with your slav friends and get wasted on the spot via already mentioned vodka.

Yes I would buy one. My first new car was a 1989 3 cylinder Subaru Justy DL The car was amazing

I fully agree with your analysis concerning the LADA NIVA. Unfortunately because of the constraints on CO2 emission limitation, this car is now unavailable in France (where I am) and in several other neighbor European countries (Belgium, Italy, Spain,...). Very nice and interesting video with relevant analysis. Many thanks.

it's a nice car and a bad car but I loved it because it never changed in 30 years! so... I wanna get one ok it's cool greetings 4 you from syria 👋🇸🇾
