At the end of 2025, an updated version of the Lada Niva Travel will be released, which features redesigned bumpers and a significantly enlarged radiator grille.
The new front bumper gives the SUV a more modern look, and the enlarged radiator grille — increased from 585 to 1062 cm² — will improve engine cooling due to stronger airflow.
AvtoVAZ engineers also optimized the small engine cooling circuit — now the thermostat turns on faster than before. This has increased the overall efficiency of the system and improved the performance of the heater, especially in difficult road and climatic conditions.
The updated Niva Travel will be equipped with a 1.8-liter engine, which will later become available in the Niva Legend model as well.
