Cars under the name Niva Sport are produced in Togliatti, in the factory division of Lada Sport. At the end of October, the Russian Automobiles source, citing its sources, revealed new technical details of the upcoming novelty.
Engine: it is planned to install 16-valve engines of front-wheel drive models: 1.6 (106 hp) and 1.8 (122 hp), but in the first stage “grant” 90 hp eight-valve 1.6 engines and even classic 1.7 engines traditional for Niva can be installed.
Transfer: the transfer case is standard, but with an electronically controlled center differential lock. The rear transverse differential will be a new four-satellite, it will also have an electronic lock, but it will appear later. Reinforcement elements will also appear on the rear axle beam.
wheels: Niva Sport is tipped on 17-inch wheels, which means there is no spare wheel under the hood. Instead, there is a repair kit in the trunk.
Some of the solutions that have been successfully tested on the Niva Sport can also be carried over to the main model, the source said. Recall that the release of the Niva Legend model has been extended to 2030. A modification of the Niva Sport, according to the president of AvtoVAZ Maxim Sokolov, should appear next year.
