Niva 4x4 review

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"

Of course, in addition to the body, other parts of the car have undergone major updates. In particular, the transmission, steering and braking systems received useful innovations. The overall interior has been improved, although overall the interior looks the same as before the restyling.

At the level of the last century, not only the ergonomics, but also the level of the ShVI looks archaic. Niva 2131 is as noisy as before. This, according to experts, is due to the fact that Tolyatti was not ready for radical changes due to the high economic costs.


Reference dimensions 2121

There were not enough financial resources to improve security. The 4x4 did not receive, as expected, either ABS, airbags, or modern belts.

As for the body crash test results, they are also disappointing. Thus, the body could not earn a single point out of 16. It doesn’t even have a star, which lesser-known cars get at least in a single copy.

Here are the results of the crash test:

  • After the impact, the steering wheel and pedals were thrown far into the cabin;
  • The torpedo easily injured the lower parts of the mannequins;
  • The Republic of Belarus was unable to protect passengers and the driver from serious injuries. The chest and head are at serious risk.

Note. By the way, the vaunted Chevrolet Niva was subjected to the same exam. The results were little different. Security is lame, although 1.6 points were still scored.

On the other hand, for the target audience, crash test results and safety levels are not among the most important priorities. Also, quality and comfort are not the main thing. For example, in Russia what is most valued is the highest level of maneuverability, reliability, and, of course, maintainability. In Europe, almost everything is the same, only with the difference that Europeans also consider the fuel efficiency of the car to be the most important element.


Dimensions Niva

In terms of cross-country ability, the Niva 2121 is always at a high level. Although, the version in the old body overcame off-road conditions a little better. Still, a permanent PP with differential lock. and “lowering”, geometric characteristics and much more made the car a real all-terrain vehicle.

A little history

Niva Legends has come a long way in terms of naming. The first Niva (VAZ 2121) appeared back in 1977. After which it was produced under this name until 2006, after which the model received the name Lada 4x4.

However, people continued to call the car Niva, despite the fact that the production of new cars called Niva 2 (VAZ 2123), which are better known as Chevrolet Niva, was launched. Later, it was decided to produce these cars only under the name Niva and under the domestic brand.

As a result, Chevrolet turned into Lada Niva Travel, and Lada 4x4 into Niva Legend. It’s hard to say that someone buys a Niva Legend for the sake of appearance, to stand out on the road; this car has a completely different orientation and completely different strengths.

Despite this, many will benefit from learning about the color options that are available today. Let's look at all the available body colors, find out how much you will have to pay extra for some options, look at them in the photo, and also show the color codes.

Paint quality

Users have always had questions about the color of domestic cars. And everyone is already accustomed to the fact that it is desirable to process the body, despite the fact that this already happens at the factory.

Everyone has long known that most models of the domestic automobile industry need various kinds of modifications and are intended for “people with hands” or those who are not too lazy to visit the dealer under warranty for every little thing, and there are usually a lot of such little things.

The Legend version has not yet had time to show itself on long runs, but something tells me that there will be some problems with the paintwork, and they can also be. It is not uncommon for VAZ models to experience relatively quick rust or sudden paint chips; you need to be prepared for this.

However, if we talk specifically about the Niva, this model can perhaps be forgiven, since it does not leave any options when choosing an “all-terrain vehicle” with such cross-country ability in this price segment and even next to it. Therefore, of course, I would like to be too picky about the shortcomings in painting, the presence of small debris under the varnish in some copies, but it’s somehow stupid.

Exterior colors

For the three-door model, 9 color options are offered:

For the five-door, 8 colors are offered - all the same as for the three-door body, except for camouflage.

It is worth noting that the base price includes only three color options; you will have to pay extra for the rest, and a very significant amount for the camouflage color. Additional payments are shown in the table below.

Color nameSurcharge for 3-door versionSurcharge for 5-door version
White cloudIncluded in the base price
PantherIncluded in the base price
Nessie-2Included in the base price
Terra9000 rubles9000 rubles
Coriander9000 rubles9000 rubles
The Snow Queen9000 rubles9000 rubles
Borneo9000 rubles9000 rubles
Baroque9000 rubles9000 rubles
Jungle camouflage29,000 rubles

Niva Chevrolet colors catalog

When operating a Chevrolet Niva car, any owner, sooner or later, is bound to encounter the problem of needing some paint somewhere. Either there are chips on the hood, or some kind of scratch. The quality of painting of Chevrolet Niva cars is very good in my opinion, with year-round use in salty Moscow, the factory coating does not cause any complaints after five years of operation. But nevertheless, I also encountered the problem of touch-up.

Of course I searched and found the number for that paint. what color is my car, but I decided that what I dug up would be useful to many “Shnivovoda”, do not be lazy to add your comments on the issues of Chevrolet Niva colors, Chevrolet Niva paint numbers, maybe I can add and correct something.

What is the difficulty? It would seem that it could be simpler in our world of abundance. But it was not there! At a minimum, in order to buy the coveted can of paint, you will need to know the paint color number, as well as the manufacturer and type of paint, acrylic, alkyd, two-component, etc.

And here lies the first secret.

But the fact is that different manufacturers of automotive enamels have their own numbering, moreover, manufacturers often produce certain paints for any project! Just as the manufacturer of the Chevrolet Niva, the GM concern, did. A very important point is who produces paints for a particular car manufacturer, because... Each car paint manufacturer has its own numbering. In particular, for the production of the Chevrolet Niva, the GM concern uses paints from the world-famous concern MOTIP DUPLI GROUP (Holland-Germany). The Motip concern, which produces paints for painting the Chevrolet Niva, thanks to its flexible marketing and active innovation policy, is a recognized world leader in the production and sale of the widest range of aerosol paints and varnishes for automotive, household and decorative purposes, as well as high-quality auto cosmetics and technical aerosols .

The Motip Dupli Group concern was formed in 1998 as a result of a merger (Holland), Vogelsang Holding (Germany-Switzerland) and the company producing putties and primers Weber&Wirth.

Of course, I managed to find out all this in the process of searching for the required paint for my beloved Chevy Nivika, which I am sharing here.

So, let's start with the colors of the Chevrolet Niva car produced by GM, and at different times, Chevrolet Niva cars were produced in completely different colors and, moreover, the colors of previous years were not released later, but in the table I did not consider it necessary to divide the colors into old and new, because The article is not so much historical as technical and is designed to help people look for their paint number for their favorite Chevrolet Niva car:

Historical perspective

Let's take a closer look at all modifications of the Niva:

  • Let us remember that the multifunctional all-terrain vehicle was first presented back in 1977. Better known as the Vaz Niva, the SUV was capable of driving on difficult roads. Fans of long-distance travel to hard-to-reach places were simply delighted. By right, 2121 was the best domestically produced car at that time.


Niva with a good and durable body

In addition to the technical capabilities described above, 2121 was also equipped with a transfer case with a reduction series. The dynamics of the car were excellent, and the comfort was quite consistent with the tastes of the Soviet people. The main thing is that 2121 could be used for periodic trips in the city and beyond.

  • The all-terrain vehicle underwent its first modernization in 1993. It was already 21213, also known as Vaz Taiga. Restyling affected more internal changes. They installed a new dashboard, seats and changed the trim. Otherwise, 21213 was no different in appearance from its predecessor. But innovations were introduced into the engine system. BSZ appears, a Solex carburetor and a new shape of the combustion chamber appear. This has now allowed Niva owners to significantly save on fuel consumption.
  • The VAZ 21214 was produced by the Tolyatti Automobile Plant entirely for the European market, although today the model is easy to buy on the used market in Russia. Advantages of the new modification: modern injection system, high-quality interior trim.

In principle, 21214 is the same VAZ 21213 that has received modernization. Subsequently, the car is renamed Lada 4x4, according to the AvtoVAZ joint venture.

  • The export version with a power plant from Peugeot was produced at the end of the last millennium. VAZ 21215 is the name of the new modification, produced in small batches for export. The body is a sight to behold, the attachment parts have been improved - spoilers, durable and beautiful bumpers, linings and alloy wheels are provided.
  • Another export version - VAZ 21217, was produced with a different engine - 1.3 liter 21011.
  • In 1993-1994 a transitional modification was also produced with the same body and suspension as the 2121. It was 21219 with a 1.7-liter power plant and transmission from 21213.
  • Since 2009, Lada 4x4 or a modernized version 21214 has been produced. After restyling, the optics and other lighting equipment changed, the interior and transmission were modified. It was said above that the new Lada 4x4 or VAZ 2131 received a lot from the Niva Chevrolet.
