On December 21, the plant ”Lada West Togliatti”, a subsidiary of JSC ”Avtovaz” started a series of SUV production under the new name – Lada Niva Travel. Dmitry Azarov, Governor of the Samara Region, and Yves Karakatzanis, President of Avtovaz, took part in the first production car rolling off the assembly line. The first car released was the Niva Travel in the off-road version.
The appearance of Lada Niva Travel has received significant changes, becoming more expressive and modern. In the front part, the car’s masculine character is emphasized by a new hood with more voluminous stamped lines, large-mesh grille, and new headlights. Side mouldings and more embossed wheel arch linings, combined with a new alloy wheel design, highlight the model`s outstanding off-road performance. The rear part also has changed, receiving new, fully LED taillights and a more embossed bumper.
At the ceremony, Yves Karakatzanis, President of Avtovaz, noted: «This is a great achievement especially for the team of «Lada West Togliatti», which managed efficiently on time this important project. Niva has a long history and a glorious path. More than 650 thousand of these cars today drive on the roads and off-road in Russia, the CIS, and other countries. With the legendary Niva name’s return to the Lada family, we open a new page in its history. I want to assure you that this name will be associated with a lot of important and interesting news».
In the Off-road version, the Niva Travel exterior is complemented by a standard snorkel, off-road tires and a body kit made of unpainted plastic, which will protect the body in nature and look great on city roads thanks to contrasting details and expressive design.
