Different models of Niva cars
Niva car
The first crossover available to everyone in Soviet times was a car called Niva. In 1977, its serial production began. Most people consider the Niva to be the best car that the domestic auto industry has been able to produce. There are many fans of this Soviet creation of the automobile industry all over the world. The appearance of a passenger car, high ground clearance, high-quality interior and nothing in common with jeeps since the beginning of production, this is exactly how the Niva was seen by car enthusiasts. And to this day, the concept itself, even though it is undergoing modernization and improvements are being made, has remained the same: the Niva is an SUV that has the maneuverability and ease of driving of a passenger car.
Technical parameters and equipment of the car
Niva car review
VAZ 2121 (Lada Niva 4x4x)
VAZ 2121
This model was produced from 77 to 93. It was equipped with an engine with a power of 75 horsepower, the volume of the unit was 1.6 liters, and the equipment also included a four-speed gearbox. It was with this car that the serial production of SUVs of the Soviet automobile industry began.
VAZ 21211 (Lada Niva 1.3)
VAZ 21211
This model was produced for export to those countries where there was an official tax on cars that had engines larger than 1.5 liters. The model was not very popular, because the engine power of 69 horses with a volume of 1.3 liters was not enough to drive off-road, and on ordinary roads its dynamics suffered from such parameters.
VAZ 2122 (Lada Niva 4×4)
VAZ 2122
This model differed from the standard version in that the steering wheel was located on the right side. It was produced focusing on the UK car market, but history records that this model was also supplied to the islands of Japan.
VAZ 2122.600
VAZ 2122.600
Officially, this model was called “River”. It was developed specifically for use by the army. It was an amphibious vehicle, which was equipped with the same components and assemblies as the VAZ 2121. After some modifications, the car began to be equipped with a sealed two-door body. But the car never entered production, even after successfully passing all state tests.
VAZ 21213
VAZ 21213
Could not become a “Taiga”, although its official name is “Taiga”. If we compare it with the first option, then it is worth saying that this car was equipped with a unit with a volume of 1.7 liters and had a power of 81.8 horsepower. Greater power and reduced fuel consumption were achieved through changes made to the carburetor and ignition system. The model also received improved forms of lights and rear doors, and this is only a small part of the innovations that were implemented in this model.
VAZ 21214 (Lada 4×4)
VAZ 21214
This model was modified by installing central fuel injection from the Taiga version. In 2002, this model 21214-10 was equipped with a motor that met Euro-0 standards; four years later, 21214-20 received a unit that met Euro-2 requirements. And in the same year the model was renamed Lada 4x4 with three doors. And already in 2008, engines were installed on the 21214-30 car that operated according to Euro-3 requirements.
VAZ 21215
VAZ 21215
This Niva model was produced for 8 years from 1999 to 2007 and was intended for export. In addition to the diesel engine from the Peugeot XUD 9SD, this model was equipped with an improved bumper, spoilers, alloy wheels and many other parts
VAZ 21216
VAZ 21216
This model is called “Taiga” and has a steering wheel located on the right side, is equipped with a carburetor unit, and was produced for export. The VAZ 21217 model was also produced on the Taiga platform, only it was equipped with a 1.3-liter engine.
VAZ 21219
VAZ 21219
A variation of this car is a hybrid model of the first Taiga, from which it received the suspension and body, but from model 21213 it received the engine and transmission. The car was produced for two years in the nineties.
VAZ 2121B
VAZ 2121B
To produce this variation of the car, they took the VAZ 2121 as a basis; on its platform, through the joint efforts of VAZ and BRONTO, an armored vehicle was produced, intended for collectors.
VAZ 2121F
VAZ 2121F
This car was a commercial one. It was intended for export to foreign countries, where the law provides benefits for this type of car. The van-type version, that is, it is a combination of modifications of the VAZ 2121 and 21213, part of the rear interior was converted into a cargo compartment. A tubular type guard was added behind the seats in front, which helps keep the cargo secure if the vehicle brakes hard.
Lada 4x4M
Lada 4x4M
This model is one of the latest modifications of the Niva. It was created on the VAZ 21214 platform, with improved lighting devices and components from the Chevrolet Niva added. The main components in the transmission and the interior of the car were also changed.
If we consider the extended versions of the Niva, then the Force, Landole and the five-door Lada 4x4 are especially interesting.
Force or VAZ 212180
VAZ 212180
This is a car for collectors. It has the maximum level of safety in every respect: the car is armored, the equipment includes a fire extinguishing system in the engine compartment, and there is also a fireproof fuel tank. The additional weight, which is 430 kg, is compensated by equipping the car with reinforced shock absorbers and also a suspension with an increased diameter.
Landole (VAZ 212183)
Landole (VAZ 212183)
This car was created for recreation. This SUV is produced only according to individual customer orders. A power frame made of pipes makes it possible to stretch the awning during bad weather. The seats are covered with leatherette, which makes it very easy to wash or wipe down the car interior. The interior is painted in a combination of two colors, and the car also has plastic body kits, which complements the beach appearance, making it more interesting and original.
Five-door Lada 4x4
Five-door Lada 4x4
They used the VAZ 21213 as a platform. Since 1993, they have mastered the production of its extended version by 50 centimeters. They also changed the wheel base, increased the distance between the seats in the cabin, and equipped the car with a larger fuel tank; these are innovations that are the pride of the manufacturers. The body is painted green, for which the car was popularly nicknamed “crocodile”.
test drive Lada Niva 4x4
All available variations of the Niva car have properties that unite them, for example, they are unpretentious to road conditions and their low cost. In almost 35 years of its existence, the Niva has become a classic of the domestic automobile industry, and to this day it remains comfortable, suitable for any weather conditions and for any weather. The “feature” of the car can be considered its high ground clearance and permanent all-wheel drive, which makes it a favorite for many generations.

These cars were produced for a short time from 1993 to 1995, and they were supplied to the Spanish automobile market. To attract foreign buyers, it was decided to make the car’s interior more comfortable and use a bright body kit.

I have never regretted that I bought this car, produced in 1988. Saved me from hopeless situations. Like any car there are drawbacks. I only install high-quality spare parts, so I don’t worry about repairs. For hunting, fishing, active recreation - just the thing. I would buy 21213 with carb. But there is experience in operating such a machine manufactured in 2002. NO COMPARISON. In the USSR, cars were made much better. SHNIVA is worse in cross-country ability, better in comfort, and ungodly in price.

I’ve had the car since 1997, there are problems like with any domestic car, but it’s easy to repair. It all depends on the spare parts purchased. It’s ideal for cross-country ability, moderate in appetite. A friend bought a foreign car, drove it for a year, bought a Niva, easier and in the bushes You drive without worrying about the varnish, I’m talking about hunting. You can’t compare comfort with SUVs, but in winter I rarely get out of the car (push) the car. Once on a 25 km long highway in winter I pulled out a cruiser three times. Changes are a terrible thing for them , and the field is moving along.

If you look after the car, she will walk. After the purchase, after 7500 I got into the engine capital (December 2005). After 2000 km I installed the LOVATO gas system, in the summer of 2006 I rebuilt the chassis, to this day without any special costs (except for the speedometer cable, clutch, clutch lever or whatever it is correctly called). I think that in a couple of years the nivasik will look like in the picture

technical specifications, reviews and tuning
domestic jeep
For a long time, the Niva car was produced in the same version with virtually no changes. In 1989-1990, the manufacturer made a decision and began developing an updated version of the SUV. Since 1994, serial production of the car has been launched under the factory name VAZ 21213 and the consumer name Niva Taiga. The technical characteristics of the machine have been significantly improved. The new model is equipped with a more torquey engine with a power of 78.9 hp, a displacement of 1.7 liters and a torque of 127 Nm. The changes also affected the appearance of the car: the loading height has been reduced, which is now almost equal to the height of the rear bumper, and the shape of the rear door and lights have been changed.
The Niva SUV is in consistently high demand among foreign buyers. In foreign markets the car is known as Lada 4x4. The model is exported mainly to automotive markets:
- Canada
- Germany.
At the height of the crisis, interest in inexpensive Lada 4x4 SUVs increased on the part of European consumers. The new Niva 2014, 2015 model year developed by AvtoVAZ will presumably go mainly to the German market. From the standard version, the new Taiga 2014, 2015 release is distinguished by the presence of an anti-lock braking system, an electronic gas pedal, and a power steering wheel. The bottom of the car will be protected by a steel sheet.

A universal vehicle for city and off-road use
Updated car
The Niva's all-wheel drive system not only provides high off-road capability, but also increases active safety when driving on asphalt. For urban conditions, this is a fairly maneuverable car. The engine power is quite enough to accelerate vigorously and fit into the traffic. The short length of the car, only 3.7 meters, makes it easy to park even in limited spaces.
The driver will be able to appreciate the main advantages of the VAZ 21213 only when the asphalt runs out and off-road starts. Niva is an SUV that can drive over almost any terrain:
- Forest,
- field,
- Country road washed out by rain.
Taiga overcomes any obstacles, it’s just a matter of the driver’s courage. The high cross-country ability of the VAZ 21213 has been tested in extreme Russian off-road conditions.
Operating cost is one of the important factors that you should pay attention to when choosing a car. Spare parts for the Niva are always available in any car store, their prices are inexpensive, so repair service will not cause problems for the owners. Some discomfort on long trips can be caused by not very good sound insulation.
By making internal tuning of the VAZ 21213 interior, you can correct this annoying issue. It is with the soundproofing of the interior and engine compartment that competent Taiga tuning begins.

Reviews of VAZ 21213 and its modifications
VAZ 21213 and its modifications are all-terrain vehicles. The car body is load-bearing, all-metal. All wheels are constantly driven, there is a center differential locking mode. Engine - four-cylinder, in-line, four-stroke, gasoline. It must be said that diesel is practically never found in Russia. Only the exported VAZ 21215 is equipped with a diesel engine with a displacement of 1.9 liters. A carburetor engine with a displacement of 1.7 liters is installed on the VAZ-21213; an engine of the same volume, but with distributed fuel injection, is installed on the VAZ-21214. VAZ 21214 cars are equipped with a toxicity reduction system with a three-component neutralizer.
Special modifications based on the classic Niva, for example, VAZ 2329, or “Bear,” are also produced in small series. VAZ 2329 is a pickup truck with a double cab. Both “Bear” and “Taiga” have engines of equal volume, but with different power systems. Analyzing their technical characteristics, we can conclude that the injection engine (82 hp) installed on a pickup truck is not much more powerful than the carburetor engine on a classic car (79 hp).
Special edition of the car
By comparing the VAZ 2329 and VAZ 21214, we will try to determine which of the cars is more suitable, for example, for fishing or hunting. Both cars are five-seater. In the Taiga, the front seats move forward and it is quite easy for rear passengers to enter the cabin. In the "Bear" it is much more difficult to get into the back row of seats, since the backs of the front ones recline, but do not move back. The trunk of the Lada Taiga is small; a large hunting trophy may not fit in it. But if you fold the back row of seats, the luggage compartment is almost equal in size to the Bear’s cargo compartment. But at the same time the car will turn into a two-seater.
The large rear window of the VAZ 21213 provides good visibility to the rear, while the VAZ 2329, on the contrary, has limited visibility. Both cars have approximately the same cross-country ability on dirt roads and forest roads. High ground clearance (220 mm) and 16-inch wheels allow them to get out of all traps. However, after comparing the technical characteristics of the VAZ 2329 and VAZ 21214, we can conclude that the VAZ 21213 is still more suitable for driving through fields, forests and ravines. Thanks to short overhangs and a small base, it is less likely to catch the ground in areas with difficult terrain.
An inexpensive and good SUV is the dream of every man who loves hunting or fishing. Today, perhaps, only Niva meets these requirements. The car does not look “old” even compared to modern jeeps with their sophisticated electronic systems. And on the off-road, the Niva will also give many a head start. Where no car can pass, the Niva will crawl.
In addition to increased cross-country ability and reserve energy capacity of the suspension, another serious advantage of the Niva is the presence of a low gear and a locking center differential.

Installing and connecting music in the cabin
To one degree or another, it is difficult to do without this with any approach to improving the interior (starting from ascetic options and even more so in the case of serious alterations). Car audio and multimedia in Niva are real, although in some cases it is extremely irrelevant, taking into account the peculiarities of off-road operation.
Therefore, during internal tuning, in any case, you will have to deal with the installation of music. Moreover, not only the head unit of the system itself, but also all the accompanying car audio components - amplifiers, acoustics, subwoofers and other “bells and whistles”. Usually a simple Niva gets by with a minimum of such equipment, but there are exceptions that amaze with the originality and power of the equipment.
Amateur and professional approach to car audio installation.

Modifications of the VAZ 2121 Niva — SovietCars.net
During the production process, the Niva was modernized, and various cars were manufactured on its basis.
The Niva has been produced since April 5, 1977 to the present time under the name Lada 4x4.
VAZ-E2122 amphibian
Even before the start of serial production in 1976, a prototype VAZ-E2122 amphibian was built on the basis of the Niva.

The car was manufactured for export to countries with high taxes. First of all, these are the countries of Benelux and Southern Europe. The low-power engine had poor dynamics and torque, so the VAZ 21211 did not gain much popularity and widespread use.
VAZ-21212
Modification for export, with right-hand drive. Designed for countries with left-hand traffic, supplied to New Zealand, Australia, Japan. In the UK the car was sold under the Cossack brand.
It is also known that in addition to assembled cars, some countries were supplied with vehicle kits for on-site assembly. This is confirmed in order No. 19 of January 28, 1981 by the General Director of the AvtoVAZ association A.A. Zhitkov “On preparation of production and supply of disassembled VAZ-21212 cars.”
VAZ - 21213 "Taiga"
In 1989, work began on modernizing the field.
Since 1991, the plant began producing the transitional model VAZ-21219, which was equipped with an engine and chassis from the VAZ-21213, and the body and interior corresponded to the 2121 model.
Production of 21213 began only in January 1994.
Distinctive features of the new model:
- New engine;
- Other rear optics;
- New rear door;
- The interior has changed;
The 21213 was equipped with a 1.7 liter engine, 81.8 hp, torque 125 N•m. Solex carburetor and contactless ignition system.
It was assumed that the front part of the body of the new model would also change, in particular, the dimensions and turn signals should have been located on the sides, next to the headlights, but for certain reasons the alteration did not take place.
The name “Taiga” assigned to the car did not take root within the country; it was later used as a designation in some markets abroad.
VAZ – 21214 (Lada 4×4)
Modification of model 21213. Produced since 2000 for export and since 2002 for the domestic market.
A distinctive feature is the engine with central fuel injection.

Cars with diesel engine. For the first time, the task of developing a diesel Niva was set by the USSR Minister of Automotive Industry V.N. Polyakov in 1979.
VAZ 21216
The modification corresponds to model 21213, but with right-hand drive.
VAZ 21217
The modification corresponds to 21213, and the engine of modification 21211 is low-power - 21011. Manufactured for export.
VAZ-21219
Transitional model with body 2121, and engine and interior from 21213.
VAZ-2121B
1992-1993 Limited edition.
Armored modification. Developed by the scientific and technical center of the AvtoVAZ concern together with the commercial bank for social development Lada-Bank.
Designed for transportation of valuable goods, a collection vehicle.
The result of the firing test confirmed that the interior was protected from the impact of a steel bullet from a 7.62 mm Kalashnikov assault rifle, and the bottom from grenade fragments.
For the first time, foamed polymers were tested for anti-fragmentation armor.
The engine compartment is equipped with a fire extinguishing system.
This car became the beginning of the BRONTO Force family of armored vehicles.
VAZ-2121F
The commercial version with a van-type body was manufactured on the basis of the VAZ-2121 and 21213 models.
The modification differed in that the rear side windows were replaced with metal panels, and the rear seat was missing. There is a metal panel and tubular protection behind the front seats to prevent cargo from shifting while driving.
It is known that the 2121F was manufactured in small batches at the AvtoVAZ production plant and was supplied only for export to non-CIS countries, where local legislation provided for tax incentives for such commercial vehicles.
In addition, some foreign dealers made their own vans. The applicability of the model name 2121F to them is questionable.
For example, the Czech company CS AUTO LADA produced vans called Niva Praktik.
Moreover, the company produced a modification of the Niva Praktik Special with a rear overhang increased by 365 mm and a reinforced plastic insert in the roof. Rear shock absorbers and springs are reinforced.

Initially it was conceived as a carrier of units for the promising minivan VAZ-2120, but was produced in small quantities. Subsequently, the model served as the basis for the creation of the five-door Niva 2131.
VAZ 2129 “Utiliter”
The commercial modification of the "Cedar" featured barred rear side windows and no rear seat.
The car was manufactured to order at OPP AvtoVAZ.
VAZ-2130 “Cedar”

A total of 6 cars were produced. Some of the cars were registered as homemade by private individuals, the rest were bought by Lada Bank, and were registered under their own name “Sahara” and were used for official purposes.
Subsequently, using developments on this machine, other extended versions were created, such as 2129 “Kedr” and 21218 “Bronto”.
VAZ-2328
An experimental pickup truck with a double cab built on the basis of model 2131. It is known that cars were assembled with short and long overhangs.

Deutsche Lada Niva Cabrio
German masters were interested in changing the Soviet Niva. So in 1983, based on this SUV, Deutsche Lada Automobil GmbH, which was the official importer of these cars, introduced a convertible, which completely lacked side pillars and roof strength elements. But a tubular frame appeared, with which they decided to strengthen the body.
The new version has front seats with head restraints, enhanced lateral seat support and seat belts. Additionally, plastic fender extensions were used, which were painted in the color of the car and gave it a more impressive look.
