2020 LADA Niva 4x4 (Lada Niva 4x4)
Lada Niva 4x4 2020 is one of the popular SUVs in our country, which has been produced by AvtoVAZ for a long time (since 1977). This car has not had a global update for a long time. At the last auto exhibition, the popular Russian automaker nevertheless presented a restyling of the Niva. In our review you will find information about the exterior, interior, technical characteristics and price in Russia of the new Lada Niva 4x4 2022 model year.

5 Video review of LADA Niva 4×4 2022: 5.1 Other new cars:
The 2022 Niva received the already beloved X-shaped body relief design, as well as a lot of new decor and a modern interior. The appearance of the Russian SUV concept is really very fascinating. The exterior received chrome inserts, rather aggressive front optics, and the windows increased in size. The front part of the Lada Niva 4x4 2022 model year has increased in size and become taller. The hood of a car boasts various recesses and protrusions located along its length. Along the side edges of the hood lid you can see built-in turn signals in the form of stripes. Below is a modern head optics, which will be filled with xenon.
Modern tuning of the Niva 21213
Not so often, but still among Niv owners there are those who do not ignore such “noticeable parts of the interior” - such as the instrument panel, dashboard and the instruments themselves. Which, in turn, can either be slightly modified (for example, changing the color of the scales or the backlight of standard sensors), or completely replaced with others, both from domestic cars and parts from foreign cars.
How to make a dashboard with your own hands?
The process of making a homemade dashboard from plywood is literally “on the knee”.
This instrument panel can be purchased from sellers of tuning parts and accessories. It seems that the choice of alternative plastic dashboards for the VAZ-21214 in online and online stores is relatively large. And if you search, you can find some pretty decent panels.
Often, fans of tuning a domestic SUV decide to completely replace the dashboard or instrument panel with appropriately sized panels from foreign cars. And more often than not, such a replacement is completely justified. Since, in addition to a clear improvement in the visual perception of the interior, comfort and ergonomics are significantly improved.
The first thing you should do in your car so that daily trips in it within the city (and not only) do not lead you into a sad state of a squeezed lemon is to carry out comprehensive sound insulation of the interior.
Before disassembling the entire interior, find the front seats from a foreign car. Seats from Japanese cars have proven themselves well in domestic SUVs. The fact that you need to find rather rare seats from a coupe car should not confuse you.
Any front seats from a foreign car can be easily converted into folding angle grinders with a slight movement - you just need to cut off the stop that limits the forward movement of the backrest.
For safety, we strongly recommend that you do not weld new seats into the body of the Niva, but redesign the slide of the seat itself in order to integrate the lower rails from the original ones. Then the new comfortable chairs will become standard installation locations.
For high-quality sound insulation, you will also need to remove the front panel. Here you will find another key point included in high-quality tuning for Niva 21213 - the dashboard. It can be replaced with a more modern version. A radical solution to changing the appearance of the interior would be to completely replace the front panel with another one.

There is a “comfort” version of the front panel on sale. Its advantages are that there is no need to redo the fasteners, adjust them to size, etc. It has space for both an on-board computer and a tape recorder. The new dashboard and steering wheel will create the complete feeling that you are driving another car. Moreover, every car enthusiast can do such tuning of Niva 21213 with his own hands (photo above).
Interior of LADA Niva 4×4 2020:
Based on the photographs provided, we can say that it is unlikely that a Niva will be released with such a chic and modern interior. The interior trim is made of fabric, plastic and artificial leather. The cabin is equipped with a modern multimedia system and many different systems that provide driving comfort. The dashboard is a large touch screen, framed on the sides by deflectors. Below the screen there is a panel with climate control buttons and washers. Next we can see a technical panel with a gear knob, two cup holders and an armrest. The seats will be comfortable and equipped with lateral support and heating.

The updated interior looks more modern*
Despite the fact that LADA had some difficulties with the full placement of the updated Niva on the assembly line, and not all the planned parts made it to it - there will be a steering wheel with an airbag, but later, the update still happened. Which we are certainly happy about. After all, there is a reason.
Ventilation system
The first thing that will catch your eye is the new panel, with a modern electronic control system for the ventilation and heating system placed on it. Instead of “toggle switches and sliders” of the stove and air conditioner, completely modern buttons appear with laconic indicators for turning on and “twisting” with images of the airflow direction characteristic of modern cars. The air conditioning button, as well as the alarm system, have moved to their rightful place among their peers. In the end, as far as appearance is concerned, there are no complaints. And according to the first reviews from all kinds of reviews, the heater has become quieter and more productive. Let it continue to be like this.
As for the original numbers of the updated elements, there is one thing worth knowing - in the coming years we will say goodbye to the usual VAZ nomenclature.

ERA-GLONASS
In Russia, all cars must be equipped with the ERA-GLONASS emergency assistance system. And it is this system that we should thank for the airbag. As well as the appearance of an antenna on the roof, serving for the reliable signal needed by this very era. And the integration of the EG unit into the interior lighting was beneficial for the old lady’s interior.

Rear seat head restraints
Another option, added primarily for safety, complemented the design of the space in the rear of the car. Unfortunately, not for all trim levels.

...and a fair number of different changes
Engine compartment of Lada 4×4 2020
And there is a lot more that can be talked about - windshield pillars with cladding, new bumpers for fog lights, reworking of fuse blocks, floor tunnel lining, sound insulation, hydraulic corrector system. Some of this has already entered the market and is available for order, while others are not yet. In any case, we will attach to this article products that will appear on our sale and mentioned (or not, but related) to the changes that have occurred with the Lada 4×4 in 2022.
Technical characteristics of LADA Niva 4×4 2022:
The Lada Niva 4x4 2022 model year is equipped with a traditional 1.6-liter engine from AvtoVAZ, which develops a power of 106 horsepower. This engine will be paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The car will have all-wheel drive. The SUV gets low gears.
A little about Chevrolet Niva
GM-Avtovaz dealers have still not received any notice of the transfer of the share to the French-Japanese-Russian concern. Yes, in principle, if the latter had not talked about it on the official website, this news would have tested the strength of dealers in the middle of the year. After all, this is exactly the amount of time AvtoVAZ has set for the transition.
At the moment, the car does not stop being produced under the GM emblem, but after some time (it is not yet known exactly how long) a rook will be installed instead of a cross. And along with this, the front end will be slightly changed. LADA also came up with a replacement for the rear lights. Let's see what they can offer.
Interior tuning
By upgrading the interior, many car owners try not only to increase the level of comfort of the vehicle, but also to emphasize their individuality. There are many options for improving the interior of your car.
This is the easiest way to tune the interior of a Niva 4×4. With prolonged use of the car, the seat upholstery becomes dirty, wears out and loses its aesthetic appearance. Reupholstery requires a lot of time, certain skills and considerable costs. Today, car shops offer a wide range of car covers made from high-quality materials in various shades, which greatly simplifies the selection of the necessary accessories.
Tuning the interior of the Niva 2121 is carried out according to the standard scheme. It is necessary to replace the interior trim and doors, as well as upgrade the seats. They can be replaced with new sports ones or improved upon the original ones. The second option is expensive and takes a lot of time, so a complete replacement of the seats would be a rational alternative.
To reupholster the interior, you can use your own materials or buy ready-made specialized kits. The interior of the SUV, made in light colors, looks great. It is recommended to do it yourself under the guidance of an experienced specialist. As a last resort, you should study some course or master class on this process.
Also an integral part of interior modernization is the installation of a new steering wheel. It is possible to improve the original one by reupholstering it with various materials and installing additional elements.
Tuning the suspension of Niva 2121
Since the Niva is an all-wheel drive SUV, when tuning it is necessary to pay attention to the suspension. The first step is the Niva lift - increasing the ground clearance. This will create an impressive reserve for overcoming various obstacles. The concept of tuning the Niva 2121 chassis, as well as a suspension lift, includes:
- Installation of spacers between suspension elements. You can make them yourself or buy them in stores.
- Installation of shock absorbers "Rancho"
- Installation of springs VAZ 2104
- Strengthening the front and rear axles using steel boxes
The Niva 2121 suspension lift is a simple process from a technological point of view that can significantly increase the vehicle's cross-country ability. It must be remembered that lifting is directly dependent on the size of the wheels; the larger their diameter, the more significant modifications will be required. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a balance so that tuning the Niva 2121 suspension with your own hands does not turn into a headache.
Tuning of the Niva 2121 transfer case is also necessary, although this process is largely a refinement. The main problem is the backlash of the front and rear axle shafts. It can be eliminated by installing new components:
- Bearings (it is better to install a double-row variety)
- Lids
- Valov
- Flanges
A good solution would be to strengthen the shaft support. To do this, instead of the original flange, install a modernized one, which has an additional bearing and oil seal.
The second common problem with transfer case is leaking seals. The solution here is extremely simple, you should correctly install high-quality oil seals and the childhood disease of the unit will be eliminated.
The third problem is the correct alignment of the transfer case in the horizontal and vertical plane. This is necessary to reduce vibration and, accordingly, wear of the moving parts of the unit. You can do the alignment manually, but it takes a lot of time, requires patience and the result does not always meet expectations.
DIY tuning of Niva 2121 for off-road
Initially, the Niva 2121 was created as a universal all-terrain vehicle that feels comfortable off-road and in the city. Therefore, it is logical that off-road tuning of the Niva 2121 is especially popular.
This is due to its relative simplicity. To create, or rather, enhance the image of an SUV, you need to install on your car:
- Larger diameter wheels with tires designed for extreme off-road use. It should be recalled that low-profile tires are not relevant in this case. It is also necessary to take into account that installing large-diameter disks requires impressive torque figures. Ignoring this rule will lead to premature wear of the power unit
- Installing arch extensions on a Niva will solve several problems at once: get rid of splashes of dirt on the wings and doors, expand the possibilities in terms of choosing the diameter of the disks, and complement the tuning composition
- Power kit. It consists of a powerful kenguryatnik. It is easy to make it yourself from pipes. A structure is installed on the rear door, onto which the spare tire is attached. It will also perform a protection function. A winch must be installed. It will help off-road and give the car an aggressive, masculine look.
This is all that is needed to create a car designed for participation in sports competitions or outdoor activities. This external tuning of the Niva 2121 combines aesthetic and practical functions. Therefore, the efforts and resources invested in it will quickly pay off.
You can do an easy tuning of the Niva 2121 - install new wheels and tires and apply stylish airbrushing with a 3D effect. To carry out the last operation, it is necessary to attract specialists.

Engine compartment
Experienced breeders will probably notice that it’s not easy to immediately detect something new in the engine compartment. The same 1.7-liter engine with 83 horsepower , the same spare wheel. However, a new small box with a fuse has appeared here! This is a new block! Finally, he moved from the salon to the engine compartment! And finally there are real safety switches!
In this part, the Niva has become a more modern and reliable car, and this is wonderful!
How does “Classic” differ from “Lux”
What is included in the “Classic” package, but not in the “Luxe”:
- Steel wheels;
- Spare 16-inch full-size wheel.
What is not included in the “Classic” package, but is included in the “Luxe”:
- Niagara alloy wheels;
- The spare 16-inch wheel is small;
- Rear seat headrests 2 pcs.;
- 12V socket in the trunk;
- Heated front seats;
- Electrically adjustable side mirrors;
- Heated side mirrors.
Dimensions
The interior dimensions have changed slightly - the cars have lengthened by two centimeters. But the weight of some of them has increased significantly.
- The curb weight of the three-door has increased by 75 kg and is now 1,285 kg , while the five-door still weighs 1,425 kg ;
- the length increased by 20 mm - for 3-door cars it became 3,740 mm , for 5-door cars - 4,240 ;
- width - 168 cm ;
- height - 164 cm ;
- wheelbase of three-door cars - 2,200 mm , five-door - 2,700 ;
- ground clearance - 200 mm .
Cargo compartment
The trunk volume is the same - in the passenger version 265 liters , in the cargo version - 585 liters . This is for a three-door car. The five-door has 420 and 780, respectively. But the cargo compartment was equipped with a 12-volt outlet and a new lock.
There is still no socket in the trunk of the Classic version!
Opening the trunk is still a challenge. It is done using a small handle located on the side panel in the cabin.
Exterior
The growers can calm down.
They will be able to easily identify their cars in the morning. The headlights, as before, bulged in amazement, the orange-white rectangular eyebrows raised in surprise. The expression of the muzzle is preserved. But is everything so stable and comfortable? No! A horn appeared, located on the roof! It can scare off the most timid growers. But you shouldn’t be scared, because this horn, oddly enough, increases not the risk of goring, but safety. This is a GLONASS antenna, which provides the transmission of an emergency signal in the event of an emergency with the driver and passengers of the car.
All cars of the Lada 4x4 family grew horns, but only Urban was able to get hold of foglights - now they are integrated into its updated front bumper.
