The LADA Niva, also known as the VAZ-2121, is a compact, four-wheel drive off-road vehicle that has been in production since 1977 by the Russian automaker AvtoVAZ. It's a rugged and versatile vehicle known for its off-road capabilities, simple design, and affordability. The Niva is a unique blend of features, combining a small unibody construction with a separate ladder frame chassis, which not only enhances its off-road performance but also contributes to its durability. The vehicle's four-wheel drive system boasts a transfer case that offers both high and low range gearing, enabling it to tackle challenging terrain with ease. The Niva is powered by a variety of engines throughout its production run, including 1.6-liter and 1.7-liter gasoline engines.

While the Niva's design remained largely unchanged for decades, it underwent some modernization and refinement over the years. These improvements included a redesigned dashboard, upgraded suspension components, and the introduction of more advanced engine options. In 2009, a new generation of the Niva, known as the Chevrolet Niva, was launched. This version was a joint venture between AvtoVAZ and General Motors, showcasing more modern styling and a more refined interior. The Niva has also seen variations and specialized models throughout its history, including the luxurious "Bronto" trim level with upgraded off-road features and the "Urban" trim level with street-oriented features. Despite its age and competition from newer vehicles, the LADA Niva continues to be a popular choice in Russia and other developing markets. It is offered at an attractive price point, providing an affordable and reliable means of transportation in diverse conditions.
