The AvtoVAZ factory in Russia has restarted the production line and begun selling the Lada Niva Travel SUV equipped with a built‑in multimedia system that is developed in house. This update was communicated by the company’s press service, confirming the return of the model to the market with the latest standard tech features integrated into the vehicle lineup.
Lada confirmed that the Niva Travel models offered with the proprietary multimedia system represent a desirable choice for buyers who value seamless connectivity and an integrated vehicle experience. The press service stressed that this feature is a popular option among customers, highlighting the system as a key differentiator in the SUV segment and a compelling reason to consider the Niva Travel lineup in the current market offerings.
The multimedia system is now installed on Niva Travel variants in the Comfort trim, the [BLACK] version, the Comfort Off‑Road, and the Luxury configuration. The pricing for Niva Travel vehicles with the standard infotainment setup starts at 1.16 million rubles, positioning the model within reach for a broad group of buyers while allowing for the addition of higher trim packages and options that enhance the overall driving experience.
Earlier in the year, AvtoVAZ faced challenges with multimedia modules across several models. In addition to the Niva, earlier issues affected the Vesta, Xray, and Largus lines, with disruptions impacting the availability of car infotainment systems. The company also encountered delays in supplying models equipped with a multifunctional steering wheel that includes cruise control capabilities. Reports at the time indicated that AvtoVAZ had reached an agreement concerning the purchase of Nissan’s Russian assets via FSUE NAMI, a move that signaled a broader restructuring effort and shift in supplier relationships to restore production momentum and feature availability for its vehicle families.
