“NIVA” BROWSED

SHE EXCEEDED EVEN VAZ 2131

TEXT / MAXIM NET

The name of the newborn is VAZ-2129-02, it is, naturally, from Tolyatti - from the Lada-Tul company. Like the other VAZ all-terrain vehicles, the youngest adopted a lot from the ancestor - “two hundred and thirteenth”: the engine, transmission (except the cardan), chassis and more. Her closest relative is a three-door long Niva of model 2129, which raised the roof by 200 mm and increased the rear overhang by 300 mm: it became like a pickup truck. In the future, this accelerator will be replaced by a more practical five-door car based on the VAZ 2131 - it is about to appear on sale.

LOOKING FOR WORK

The long Niva is unlikely to squeeze into the ranks of delivery cars. Passenger vans (VIS-2345 or Izh 2717) will transport one and a half times more, less gas will be burned, and in the city they will be quick. Yes, and it’s a pity to dirty the bags with potatoes or country rubbish with a pile floor and a nice cloth ceiling (by the way, he eats such a couple of trifles and useful volume). Here we complain about the ugly little mirrors and the lack of a “glove compartment” in a convenient place above the windshield.

The creators themselves predicted the young "Niva" work in hospitals - the first on its base made an ambulance. But even in this niche, moving “gazelles” and “sables” is not easy. Then the “civilian” version was born. A high roof, a long saloon, good cross, relative cheapness - the perfect camper!

TO THE PICNIC!

The busy track of the heavy Niva is clearly not to their liking. The carbureted 1.7-liter engine reluctantly drives the car to cruising speed and forces the driver to carefully calculate upcoming overtaking. They also offer a more “momentary” 1.8-liter engine, but this is not enough for a well-loaded camper. An additional brake light on the tailgate protects against collisions. The rest is the same long-base “five-door” or pickup truck: it goes well in a straight line, it turns poorly, and it unfolds even worse. For some reason, you involuntarily compare her with a Basset breed - clumsy, long, but charming.

You forget about sluggishness, having moved off the asphalt to the primer, and then off-road. The most beautiful place on the hard-to-reach shoreline will for sure be yours … unless the short Niva takes it earlier. Take comfort in the fact that your opponent is still putting up a tent, and both the table and the house are ready for you behind the front seats.

AT THE MARKET

For VAZ-2129-02 (1.7 l) or 22 (1.8 l) of a simple color they will ask about 6 thousand dollars - the usual five-door Niva is three hundred cheaper. About 200 "greens" will be thrown over a color with a metal spark.

According to the most conservative estimates, now they produce at least a dozen variants of cars, the ancestor of which was the modest little VAZ 2121. And this, apparently, is not the limit: the “fields” are gradually changing, if not for the better, then at least for the better.

Here's how many “Niv” cars fit into the trunk with the rear seats folded down: a - 1290 l; b - 1940 l. Trunk volume in the standard version - 405 and 560 liters; when loading to the ceiling - 630 and 1025 l, respectively (measured in cubes of 20, 10 and 5 l).
