AvtoVAZ showed the pre-production Lada Niva Sport SUV at the Zhigulevskaya Mile festival in the Samara region. In this respect reports “Auto.ru Magazine”.
The car received a 1.6 engine with 122 hp. The same power unit is installed on Lada Granta Sport. In the standard version, the classic Niva is equipped with a 1.7 engine with 83 hp.
Additionally, the body arches of the Lada Niva Sport have been cut and covered with plastic liners to accommodate larger wheels. The same solution is used in the Lada Niva Bronto SUV.
The interior features seats with red stitching and improved lateral support. Two transmission control levers are used instead of three as in Lada Niva Travel. To do this we had to add an original plastic casing between the seats. Constant velocity joints (CV joints) are used to reduce vibration in drive shafts.
How many AvtoVAZ cars were known before launched during additional weekend shifts.
