Lada

After the battle began in Ukraine, many producers turned away from the Russian aspect, which additionally affected the automobile business there, which is at the moment managed by the Chinese language and can in all probability swallow it. After a two-year shutdown, home maker Lada managed to renew manufacturing of its complete mannequin line, albeit with new suppliers and parts.

The legendary had an attention-grabbing transfer Lada Niva without spending a dime, ie no less than the model meant to be exported. He left his homeland and the corporate identify Girl and located a brand new refuge in Azerbaijan and within the arms of an organization there with the standing of a producing plant.

Due to this fact, a car made on this nation and by the producer there has the potential to have the standing of a non-Russian product, so in that case it shouldn’t be topic to different sanctions (the Chinese language may even launch the proposed punitive taxes on their automobiles in the identical manner). And this might open the way in which for Niva to the all-important export markets, together with the European one, the place there’s nonetheless a gaggle of consumers who simply need an outdated street easy off street.

The identify of the automobile within the new nation doesn’t change, so it’s nonetheless Lada Niva Legend. When it comes to colours, the beforehand in style darkish inexperienced is again within the sport as an alternative of grey, supported by white and brown lacquer. Sooner or later, black and silver will probably be added to the physique and a aspect airbag will probably be added to the driving force’s seat.

When it comes to variants, we all know that the essential model is the Basic with metal discs, the second stage is the Luxe A / C mannequin with alloy wheels and air con, and on the prime quality we discover the City model. with plastic bumpers. Classical five-door the model is not going to be produced in Azerbaijan in any respect, a contemporary product with 5 doorways Journey sure, however up to now solely in medium gear.

In any case, you’ll not discover a lot within the base of the export Niva Legend, that’s, for instance, steering wheel, pedals, on-board laptop, air flow, 12-volt socket, electrical entrance home windows, metal disc R16 and entrance and rear plastic wheel arches, which, after all, had been lacking from the “Russian” model.

Along with air con and alloy wheels, the Luxe A / C additionally has heated entrance seats, rear headrests, electrically heated rear view mirrors and a 12-volt socket within the trunk with a quantity of 265 liters.

Then the top-of-the-line City misplaced the entrance fog lights, so it is simply body-colored plastic bumpers, black-brown seat covers, and 16-inch two-tone alloy wheels named after the grizzly bear .

As a part of the auxiliary gear, the automobile it should solely present ABS with out emergency brake strain booster (BAS) and the driving force’s seat belt failure indicator. ERA-Glonass emergency name know-how (related eCall) there will probably be no fashions from Azerbaijan at the moment.

The driving core, which is a four-cylinder eight-valve gasoline with 83 horsepower and 143 Nm of torque, is nearly unchanged, which is a rise of 14 Nm towards the unique 129 Nm. Though we not discover parts from the German Bosch within the unit, it’s nonetheless a structurally primitive engine (a bonus for some) with a consumption of ten p.c.

Talking of the driving force, the five-speed handbook transmission remained sending torque to all 4 wheels and cooperating with an extra discount gearbox. Along with the built-in inter-axle differential this quad nonetheless has a mechanical differential lock.

The official arrival of the automobile to the Czech Republic remains to be unsure, the paperwork is at the moment being sorted out and potentialities are being explored. license for the Czech Republic, together with Europe (the automobile doesn’t but have one sort of license). A former high-ranking worker of the previous Girl official importer to Slovakia has already introduced that he’ll get the floodplains from Azerbaijan to a Slovakian technician.

We managed to get the estimated costs as properly. Within the Czech Republic, the essential Lada Niva legend may very well be offered for a value beginning at CZK 450,000 together with VAT, coated by a two-year guarantee restricted to 100,000 km. In Slovakia, the worth might begin from half one million. In any case, the whole lot remains to be open, in negotiations and the knowledge acquired is prematurely, it’s actually not remaining, however it’s not fully unrealistic.
