The car quickly won not only the love of domestic motorists, but was one of the few models of the VAZ company supplied to export. Domestic SUVs highly appreciated even in Japan.

Cheverolet Niva I.

CHEVROLET NIVA 2 generation was officially presented at the 2014 Moscow Motor Show as a model that was supposed to enter the series already by 2016, but later the start of the assembly was postponed at the beginning of 2019.

The exterior of the updated SUV turned out to be quite impressive and absolutely not like all previous models of the line.

In the cabin of the new Niva, everything said that the car would not give way to comfort to competitors of import brands. Qualitative materials, a complete set of necessary on-board equipment, the most advanced options to help the driver, a multimedia system and stylish backlight - everything is like an elite car applying to the owner with prosperity and status.

On the technical side of the promise also impressed. Under the hood of the SUV should have been a powerful French gasoline engine PSA with a volume of 1.8 liters and with a capacity of 136 hp, for which a reliable 5-tiberate transmission manual was also intended.

After displaying the model on the metropolitan auto show, the latest news about the model Niva Chevrolet scattered lightning around, but until 2019 the company did not manage to justify the hopes of domestic motorists to get modern, reliable and at the same time inexpensive SUV.

In 2015, the ambitious project was unexpectedly frozen, as the company did not find the necessary funds for its implementation. Moreover, in August 2017, the company did not pay for the extension of the patent on the design of the car, without commenting on its actions. Of course, this does not mean that "GM-AvtoVAZ" refused the idea, because they still remain its owners (at least over the next 2 years) and can pay payment at any time, extinguishing Patent.
