Arguably, the three-door Niva has the best geometric cross-country capability, as it has the shortest wheelbase. And the thickness of the paintwork turned out to be the greatest with this trio. So purely in numbers, the victory is for the classic Niva. And what will the real off-road tests show? Answer is here.
Interesting fact
All three SUVs are said to have been significantly upgraded by now. This is how Lada Niva Legend, Niva Travel and UAZ Patriot can look today.
