AVTOVAZ restarts production of the LADA NIVA Travel SUV. Beginning August 15, 2025, assembly of the 2022 model year resumed, signaling renewed availability for customers seeking capable all-terrain performance paired with modern comfort.
The LADA NIVA Travel features permanent four-wheel drive with the option to downshift and a locked center differential. This setup delivers strong off-road ability while maintaining a refined on-road ride. Inside, the five-seat cabin prioritizes space and everyday practicality for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
Standard equipment for the 2022 model year includes power steering, front electric windows, electric and heated door mirrors, the ERA-GLONASS emergency system with a mechanical activation option, adjustable steering column height, and LED rear lighting. The package also includes a steel crankcase, an onboard computer, central locking, and audio pre-wiring for convenient upgrades. Final prices and configurations for the 2022 NIVA Travel line will be published at a later date.
Management notes that the resumption aligns with the planned timeline for refreshing the model lineup. Efforts are underway to broaden comfort and safety options for manufactured vehicles. With the dedication of the AVTOVAZ team, continued support from government programs, and the current concessional loan framework, the company aims to keep vehicles affordable while delivering elevated equipment levels for buyers.
The company highlights a concessional loan program available to buyers of Niva Travel as well as Granta and NIVA Legend models produced after June 1, 2022. The program, designed to assist families with dependents, healthcare professionals, teachers, and first-time buyers, can provide a favorable financing advantage of around 20–25% depending on regional variations. It also accommodates vehicles eligible for trade-in that are six years old or older, expanding opportunities for customers upgrading to newer NIVA specifications.
