Worked as a mechanic at local Lada dealership and had a dozen or so of these off-road weapons, mostly given to me for free by people tired of fixing them, over the years. Used to play tag around the farm where you hit the other car they become 'it' and the chase continues. Excellent fun.
love your videos🫠 keep going please!!
My first car 1.7I. Still miss itt😥😥
Asking a vehicle designed for off-road driving to meet the safety requirements of a passenger vehicle is ridiculous to say the least. This is not bought for the street and speeds higher than 80 km/h.
Great content
it's lit!
Cool video
I think it's worth mentioning that they began making older models again because they can't manufacture their own modern parts, like airbags, and had to import them. Because of the war, they may still be making them 20 years from now.
Yeap! That's right!
What about other ladas that is ordinary modern cars?
cheap, capable,easy to fix(if you have any knowlege about cars) who wouldn't buy it, that is something you don't see anymore in new cars
Under rated channel!
An incredible detail in the story that I discovered a short time ago, but that I could not get many details was the fact that Lada sold the rights to use the NIVA name to Chevrolet. That's why the car was called Lada 4x4 nowadays.
Legendary car!
Hi - that was a very entertaining video, but unfortunately there's a few fundamental bits missing, mainly about the element of "unchanged for 37 years". As a matter of fact Between 1977 and 1993/4 the Niva 1600 was produced and only saw minor modifications to the ignition and carburettor, starting with 1994/5 the 1700cc version was introduced combined with fuel injection (borrowed from an Opel Ascona), which also sported a different tailgate, new taillights and substantial changes on the interior. In 1997 the EFI system was changed again to a more modern multipoint EFI and in 1999 the model M, which looks almost the same, but sports a dramatically changed undercarriage, with different axles, wheel hubs, brakes, driveshafts, you name it and THEN the Urban model came, which basically was "just" new bumpers and a different grill. If you're venturing towards Niva-based vehicles, you should also at least mention the APAL and the JAEGER. (Depending on market) Please see this as constructive feedback, I especially liked the footage of the AZLK-models as I've so far only seen pictures of them...

Primitive soviet vehicles as well as tractors, useless, uncomfortable, ugly and impractical
Impractical? Only on the highways. On terrain, it's quite capable.
And a lot of fun to drive.
