One of the car dealerships in Togliatti published photos of the pre-production Lada Niva Sport Silk Way SUV, showing the car inside and out. It is noted that this is the second pre-production sample of the new version.
The prototype is equipped with a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine with a capacity of 144 hp, a modernized suspension and reinforced underbody protection.
To increase cross-country ability, engineers installed mud tires, a snorkel, power steps, an expeditionary trunk and a tow bar. The appearance was complemented by LED optics and new bumpers.
Inside, the car received a steering wheel with an airbag, an updated center panel and two transmission control levers - a gearbox and a transfer case.
AvtoVAZ emphasized that this SUV is considered a search solution, and it is too early to talk about mass production. The production version of the Niva Sport will receive a 1.6 engine from the Granta Sport with a capacity of 122 hp and 151 Nm.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Avito taught the "Garage" service to evaluate cars using AI.
