Sales of the Lada Niva Sport started just 10 days ago, but acquiring the car turned out to be not so easy. Dealers are taking pre-orders, and buyers are placed on a waiting list.
Insiders revealed that one of the reasons for the shortage of cars is the upcoming relocation of equipment used for assembling the "sporty Niva" from the main AvtoVAZ plant to the subsidiary "VIS-Auto."
The body welding section for the Niva Sport at the main AvtoVAZ plant is preparing to move to the "VIS-Auto" site. Currently, the refinement of welded bodies continues in two shifts, and a certain backlog is already accumulating. However, during the May holidays, all equipment will be moved to a new location. From this moment on, welding and painting of bodies for Niva Sport, intended for deliveries to Lada Sport, will be carried out at the subsidiary, and not at the main AvtoVAZ site. The full launch of the production process is expected only in early summer.
As a reminder, the Lada Niva Sport is equipped with a 122-horsepower 1.6-liter engine from the Lada Granta Sport. Currently, the SUV is offered in a single configuration at a price of 1.7 million rubles.
