Specifically, the Lada Niva Legend now includes new sound-damping elements across the cabin. The floor carpet has been redesigned to come as a single, continuous piece, reducing vibration and noise transmission from the road. In addition, the fender covers have been replaced with brushed-material components, which improve durability and contribute to a cleaner, more streamlined appearance. The report also notes improvements to the engine shield, interior trim along the sills, and other interior surfaces to further minimize intrusion from road noise. These updates collectively bolster the cabin quietness and perceived quality without altering the vehicle’s core layout. [AvtoVAZ press service]
All versions of the Lada Niva Legend are now equipped with enhanced sound insulation, reflecting AvtoVAZ’s intent to boost comfort across the lineup. The refreshed model carries a starting price of 830 thousand rubles and continues to rely on a 1.7-liter gasoline engine delivering around 83 horsepower, paired with a five-speed manual transmission. The combination emphasizes reliable performance and straightforward driving dynamics that align with the Niva Legend’s rugged heritage while offering a quieter, more refined interior experience.
