The Lada Niva, also known as the VAZ-2121, is a compact four-wheel drive SUV produced by AvtoVAZ in Russia since 1977. It is renowned for its rugged design, off-road capabilities, and surprisingly affordable price. The Niva was originally designed as a compact, versatile vehicle for both urban and rural environments, and it quickly gained popularity in the Soviet Union and other Eastern Bloc countries. It became a symbol of Soviet ingenuity and reliability, proving capable of tackling challenging terrain and harsh weather conditions. The Niva was even exported to Western markets, where it attracted attention for its unusual combination of off-road prowess and low cost.

The Lada Niva 21213, 21214, 21214-20, and 21215 models represent various refinements and upgrades introduced throughout the vehicle's production run. The 21213 model featured a more modern dashboard and interior, while the 21214 incorporated a 1.7-liter engine and a five-speed gearbox. The 21214-20 was a special edition with a more luxurious interior and additional features, and the 21215 featured a modified bodywork and a larger engine. Despite the updates, the Niva retained its core design and off-road capabilities. Its permanent four-wheel drive system, high ground clearance, and rugged construction ensured its dominance in the compact off-road SUV segment for many years. The Lada Niva remains a popular choice for adventure enthusiasts, farmers, and those who need a reliable and capable vehicle for challenging conditions.
