It stands for impressive cross-country ability for relatively little money. Today these machines operate in over a hundred countries, on all continents. The design itself has been produced without significant changes for more than forty years. The Niva 2121 car from VAZ is the grandfather of modern SUVs. This is a passenger car of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. Produced in the USSR since 1977 and became the world’s first all-wheel drive small class crossover.
