Lada Niva

The greatest Russian off roader ever made! It's a Lada Niva!

The Lada Niva was the world's first mass-produced off-road vehicle with a unibody construction (fully integrated body and frame). It is the predecessor of current  crossover SUV's most of which are built similarly.

The drive system uses three differentials: center, front, and rear. The transfer case involves a high/low range selector lever and another to lock the central differential. Like usual gear shifting, both of the aforementioned features naturally require the use of clutch to be properly selected. However, while the central differential can usually be locked while in motion, the transfer case cannot and requires a complete stop.

This Niva is equipped with a 1.9 Turbo Diesel Peugeot engine, the legendary XUD9TE and comes with a 4 speed manual gearbox. It goes quite well and is capable of "rolling coal" if you're into that sort of thing! It's certainly quicker than a standard petrol engine Niva!

It's sitting on wide rims and chunky tyres with slider wider plastic bolt on arches.

If you're in the market for a capable tax and test exempt off roader which will start at the flick of a switch, run all day and achieve 50 plus miles per gallon this is the 4X4 for you!
