I am an automotive engineer who works for the big three. Last year during a meeting, one of our our high boss literally said “ I want our vehicle breaks down after 10 or 15 thousand miles”. I was shocked, I knew they were doing that all the time but still can believe he said it out loud without any shame. One of our engineer whispered “ I guess we should plant a bomb then.”

what a piece of actual capitalist, profitarian shit. you, as an engineer, has the mission of a truly great design, not a planned failure. i hope you found ways to subvert your boss, because if you left another stooge will happily listen to him.

Simple, cheap, easy to handle, excellent all-terrain vehicle. It is also valid in Siberia. It's not a sports car, but it puts many other big-name SUV brands to shame. a true Soviet fossil. But that's how its owners like it.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lada also was the first car brand to sell in Brazil after the imports ban was lifted, many Nivas were driven to almost destruction in the insanely precarious "highways" of the Pantanal and Amazon and yet is one of the few cars to "conquer" the BR-319 in the rainy season without bigger problems.

You think it's underpowered? Well, the original 1977 Niva had only a 1300cc engine. Later increased to 1600, then 1700cc in the 1990s. I owned three or four of them. Slow, noisy and thirsty, but unbeatable off-road, and practically unbreakable. I had one with a 2 litre Alfa twin OHC engine, and it went like a scalded cat. Strong Italian influence in its design.

Nope. Niva is NOT an offroad car. Its rural or city car traded some comfort for ability to cope with wet dirt road or snow right in your driveway. It can easy make 130kmh or be used in dense 10M Moscow but if you try to use it as brutal Uaz it will break apart in a week.

@@bernarddavis1050 Absolutely not. Niva is NOT an offroad car. Its NOT designed to dive into 1m deep shit, jump on rocks, follow tank column with colonel onboard or even be used on regular construction or mining site, it is not UAZ replacement. It can do all this but for very short time, then it goes to full rebuild or scrapyard. Niva niche was intended to be colkhoz (collective farm) dweller, using bad roads, snowy streets in a village, sometimes (but not too often) wet dirt roads, and to do all this with almost usual passenger car comfort, like Lada 2106 on which base it created. Not more. If it is used in offroad - very proudful end is imminent and fast, especially in USSR 70s, where Lada repair was extremely difficult and expensive. In reality it appeared that it is not only colkhoz car, but also an useful city car. Expensive, less convenient, slower, complex in repair, but able to combine everyday use in Moscow with summer drives out to fishing, hunting, dacha (farm cottage) and so on without terrible pain in all body parts like with road cars (2106 and so on). Even to drive out from own house yard in Moscow on winters often requires Niva capabilities, all usual cars bog in fresh snow piles without any options (ummmm, once I bogged even Zil131 6*6 truck in 30m from my home entry, where it stood until all snow melted, but of course it was extreme case). Yes I DO know Niva, I used them from 1990 to 2010 (effectively to 2000 when I changed to 4*4 Gazel light truck and Niva became just a spare car standing in garage), so there is no need to tell me how Niva can be used in real offroad, I perfectly know it - no way.

@@antontsau Lets put it that way: it's a utility car built for bad roads with very good off road capability for its class, albeit not an offroad SPORTS car. If you're some filthy rich sheik buzzing through the sand dunes of your emirate and want to impress the girls with some crazy stunts in a flashy car, you probably look for something else. But if you are a forrester, a hunter or a farmer that needs a good vehicle to get to any place you need to do your job, that doesn't cost you an arm and a leg, won't loose 50% of its value if there's a dent or a scratch and won't require some specialised computer tool to service it then the Niva might be just it. There's a reason for its success.

Hi - that was a very entertaining video, but unfortunately there's a few fundamental bits missing, mainly about the element of "unchanged for 37 years". As a matter of fact Between 1977 and 1993/4 the Niva 1600 was produced and only saw minor modifications to the ignition and carburettor, starting with 1994/5 the 1700cc version was introduced combined with fuel injection (borrowed from an Opel Ascona), which also sported a different tailgate, new taillights and substantial changes on the interior. In 1997 the EFI system was changed again to a more modern multipoint EFI and in 1999 the model M, which looks almost the same, but sports a dramatically changed undercarriage, with different axles, wheel hubs, brakes, driveshafts, you name it and THEN the Urban model came, which basically was "just" new bumpers and a different grill. If you're venturing towards Niva-based vehicles, you should also at least mention the APAL and the JAEGER. (Depending on market) Please see this as constructive feedback, I especially liked the footage of the AZLK-models as I've so far only seen pictures of them...

В Ниве сначала её производства не менялся только кузов ( 1 раз менялся зад в 1991 году). Внутри постоянно что то меняется. 3 салон по счету. Последний раз обновили в 2020 году. Мотор сначала получил объём 1.7, потом его перевели на инжектор, потом инжектор изменился с ДМРВ на ДАТ. Были внедренны гидрокомпенсаторы и гидонатяжитель цепи. Цепь была заменена на 1 рядную усиленную вместо двухрядной, что повысило КПД двигателя. Раздаточная коробка получила двухрядные подшипники на выходных фланцах карданов. Карданы получили ШРУСы вместо крестовин. Задняя подвеска менялась 3 раза. Спереди вместо регулируемых роликовых подшипников внедренны не регулируемые, сайлентблоки рычагов усилены, тормозной диск теперь можно менять не снимая ступицу. Редуктор переднего моста больше не прикручивается к двигателю. Крепится отдельно, что снизило вибронагруженность кузова. Был внедрён гидроусилитель рулевого управления, АБС, система Эра-Глонас, подогрев сидений, подогрев и электрорегулировка зеркал. В следующем году машина получит новый двигатель, где крутящий момент увеличат со 128 Нм, до 170 Нм. Учитывая её не большой вес это сделает её ещё более проходимой. Нива Легенда.

Incorrect, the Lada Niva never ceased production. Why? Because it's a simple and very capable off-roader, for which the parts are plentiful and affordable. Why would Western Sanctions be a problem? Quite hilariously, Lada just doesn't install the parts that they were importing, such as radios and airbags. Mind due, these are the "optional upgraded radios and airbags". Finally, they can always just import radios and airbags from China and India, both of which already produce them.

They didn't sell the rights to the "Niva" name, but the 4x4 system. AvtoVaz produced the Chevrolet Niva, while Chevrolet sold it, in a join venture called GM-AvtoVaz. Chevrolet was also the one to develop the Chevrolet Niva with the Lada Niva's 4x4 system as it's base. In 2019, ZvtoVaz managed to get full ownership of the join venture and incorporated it into itself. The reason why the Lada Niva was renamed to the Lada 4x4 was purely due to marketing. It was an attempt to get customers to focus on the Chevrolet Niva, the new product, rather than the Lada Niva.

The biggest problem - its extremely unreliable, especially if used in offroad, even light. Engine cooks at 100K, gearbox fails every 50K, electrical wiring (very simple, as it came from early 70s) corrodes and fails. Body RUSTS! Especially in Moscow when all winter it is exposed to salt, sand and snow, perfect mix to destroy steel. My Niva was bought in 1998, used up to 2001 then stored as reserve car - and still had body bottom with transfer case mounting points rusted away and ripped off circa 2007. Native 1.7L carb engine is not enough to pull this box on highways, aftermarket 1.8 is much better. Front axle gear fails very often, all parts of it are prone - bearings, shafts, reductor gear and even its case fitted to motor, not to body. So - funny car, but only if you can fix it, if you know what to do, how to replace engine in fields (yes I did it on our race Niva) and so on. And, of course, obsolete for now, 50 years old systems are not usable in modern world.

Primitive soviet vehicles as well as tractors, useless, uncomfortable, ugly and impractical

Impractical? Only on the highways. On terrain, it's quite capable. And a lot of fun to drive.

It is one of the few cars that you can drive in the rainy season on the Amazon highways in it's stock form without any major issues, others "off-road" vehicles need extensive and expensive modifications to do that.
