The Russian manufacturer later in the year also modernised the suspension with improved bearings and gas shock absorbers In 2016, Lada introduced the Niva Urban which equips the 4x4 with air conditioning, electric windows, heated and electrically folding wing mirrors, 16in alloy wheels and body coloured bumpers. Besides, the Niva is a cool-looking vehicle in a sort of Smeg fridge way. The trim plastics are ghastly, but the piglets or lambs in the back won’t mind and neither should you. You can do the same today because the same plastic and rubber mats are used in the Niva. And when you had got both it and yourself covered in mud and goo, you could fling open the doors and hose out the interior. The Niva was never the best of road cars, but off road, with its minimal 1210kg weight, narrow tyres, low-ratio transfer gearbox and diff lock, it was formidable across the mucky stuff. The Niva is now available in three- and five-door form, and in rugged and 'stylish' Urban models. The 1.7-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine is now fitted with Bosch fuel injection and complies with Euro 5 emissions standards, the dashboard has been replaced with a new VDO instrument pack that looks only 15 years behind in design and the door mirrors are a bit bigger than they used to be.
