Lada Niva to Get Airbags for the First Time in Nearly 50 Years

To achieve this, the car will be equipped with a steering wheel from Lada Granta

The classic Niva, known as Lada Niva Legend, will receive a front airbag in the second half of 2025. This was announced by the head of AvtoVAZ, Maxim Sokolov.

According to him, there will be two airbags in total, but both will be on the driver's side. Initially, the system will be integrated into the driver's seat back, and then a full-fledged front airbag will appear.

Moreover, the front airbag will appear in the classic Niva for the first time in the 48th year of its life cycle — to achieve this, the car will be equipped with a new steering wheel from Lada Granta.
