The new Lada Niva Sport turned out to be rusty right at the presentation. A car worth 1.7 million rubles was brought to the event, and the Mash film crew discovered serious defects under the body. The car looked as if it had already been in operation: rust covered the bolts and drives, a hole was noticed on the gearbox, and a puddle of oil was under the car.
In addition, the doors closed crookedly and required considerable effort. According to representatives, anti-corrosion treatment is offered only for an additional fee.
According to experts, such defects usually occur after prolonged use in aggressive conditions, so their appearance on a new car caused a violent reaction from users on social networks. Commentators suggest that the car could have been brought from an open storage area or even after test loads, which the company, of course, does not confirm.
When journalists tried to get a comment, the brand representative, seeing the camera, quickly left the site and did not approach the SUV anymore.
