Just such a Niva enjoys great popularity in Japan, although it is three times more expensive than in Russia …

Lada Niva has been popular in different parts of the world for more than 40 years, as cheap, robust and very usable compact SUV .) Maybe not so popular in the “most picky” markets, but it is up to

The classic Niva got a “younger sister” in 1998 – the Chevrolet Niva, which last year, after redesign and modernization, was named Lada Niva Travel . It is the first, in the new ticket distribution within AvtoVAZ , got the name it deserves – Lada Niva Legend.

Now, whatever model of the two mentioned in question, and no matter how well equipped the Russian factory is, would it sound logical to you if its price is – 27,000 euros ?

Of course, the answer is negative and is self-evident! However, this text probably wouldn’t even exist if everything was just like that … some people are ready to set aside as much as 31,286 dollars for Lada Niva, that is, only some euro less than 27,000 euros .

They live in Japan and buy the most luxurious and best equipped model – Lada Niva Travel Luxe Offroad . That SUV, at the stated price, is even 132 percent more expensive from the basic version of Nive Travel, which in the “land of the rising sun” costs “only” 17,791 dollars, or 15,333 euros. (The same basic version in Russia is sold at a price of 9,800 euros.)

And the fact that the Japanese buy the most luxurious version of Nive Travel means that for their 27,000 thousand euros get a pretty well-equipped car , on which list of equipment includes: automatic air conditioning, multimedia system, rear parking camera (washable), electric window frames, heated seats and windshields, aluminum 16-inch wheels with tires for driving on difficult terrain and snorkel (external air intake). However, of the security systems, this luxury Niva is only equipped with ABS.

Lada Niva Travel Luxe Offroad, however, does not come in Japan so well equipped directly from the factory in Togliatti. A company called “Le Parnass” buys Lada “across the street” in the southernmost Russian Khabarovsk Krai and then transports them by ferries to Japan .

The luxury Russian SUV is powered by the famous atmospheric engine capacity of 1.7 liters with 80 horsepower , while the transmission of power to all wheels are in charge of a five-speed manual transmission, two-speed reducer and mechanical differential lock
