At the Lada Sport enterprise (a subsidiary of AvtoVAZ) in Togliatti, industrial production of Niva Sport SUVs has begun. The new car features an engine from Granta Sport 1.6 16V with 122 hp, installed longitudinally.
It is paired with a modernized transmission: reinforced fifth gear gears are used, a single-lever transfer case drive is used, the clutch housing is reinforced, and the selective assembly map has been changed.
The suspension of the new product is modernized. In particular, the Panar тяга has been removed from the rear suspension; now four levers work instead. All wheels have disc brakes.
Painted bodies arrive at the Lada Sport enterprise, and then further assembly is carried out. At the first stage of industrial production, all manufactured cars will go to AvtoVAZ divisions to confirm design characteristics and comprehensive testing. Niva Sport will go on sale in 2025, the price is still unknown.
