Urban with a new engine. What exactly differs in the Niva Urban from ordinary Niva

So far, many fans of Niva expect the release of a fully modified model, AvtoVAZ decided to restart the old version, which will be slightly more modern, but will retain the overall features in appearance, as well as the modest equipment of the cabin. Niva Urban 2018 will continue to remain a unpretentious workhorse, what an old model was, and it will be able to better overcome all kinds of off-road.

The machine will not change externally. All this will be the square apparatus, which does not have a relief at all, but some new elements find here everything will turn out.

The new model now does not have a smooth hood - it was supplemented with a small in-depth strip. A slightly decreased the angle of the windshield inclination, so that it is now located almost perpendicular to the hood.

The photo clearly shows that the grille covered the radiator was updated. Now it is a strongly discovering plastic insert with a lot of cutouts. At the edges, it is placed exactly the same as before, round headlights having a simple halogen filling. Fog, as well as swivel lights moved to the upper part.

There is now nothing from below, except for a massive body kit, which is still supplemented with plastic insert and protection for the subframe.

To find some variables from the side of the car, you need to easily understand cars. Obvious changes are extremely small - new mirrors, disks and door handles. Everything else is the materials from which many elements are performed. Now these are better metal alloys that increase safety.

The new body was the most transformed from behind. A little changed the shape of the door of the luggage compartment, a strip of stop lights was added, dimensions were obtained. The body kit was also strengthened, because of which it became also more beautiful.

Salon

Unfortunately, what really required changes, they did not receive them. It is about the interior, in which there is nothing attractive at all. The new Niva Urban 4x4 2018 model year has no elements that increase comfort, not even the simplest multimedia and everything is also trummed by a cheap plastic and fabric that are not very pleasant to the touch.

The most expensive detail on the dashboard is the most simple audio system. It is located at the very bottom of the panel. Above it there are several rows of deflectors, stove settings and other useful options.

Best in the car made tunnel. It has elements of setting and control of the gearbox, chassis, parking brake and even two cup holders. Another hole is at the very beginning, and it is quite spacious.

In addition to its basic functions, the steering wheel can still adjust the lighting of the road, with the help of two buttons on the spokes. The wheel itself looks unpleasant and about the same way in his hands. Under a wide rectangular visor, arrowheads showing the speed with which the machine is moving, as well as turns developed by the engine. On-board computer is not provided.

Most uncomfortable here and armchairs. Tissue covering, hard filling, lack of lateral support and in general, any security elements are all about the seats in the field. But in the rich configuration you can find heating, which is sufficiently unexpected. If the front is still somehow you can sit, then only children can accommodate normally, since there are practically no place for the legs between rows. The sofa itself is not masculine and short, although it is designed to land for three passengers.

Also in the car, the trunk grew slightly, but it is still not enough to travel normally when more than two people are located in the car.

Specifications

Like the old Niva, Lada Urban 2018 does not have a wide range of motors whose characteristics will be at least somehow similar to what can be found from competitors. Only one gasoline power unit is set here, the volume of which is 1.7 liters, and the power is achieved by the entire 83 forces. Together with the full drive and five-speed manual transmission, the car can accelerate up to one hundred for inconceivable 17 seconds, which is very, very long. At the same time, the consumption of such a system is huge - up to 13 liters in the city and 7 on the track. The advantages of the machine can be considered a handout and blocking of all differentials that are only available in the chassis. As the test drive showed, the car is completely unsuitable for everyday trips both around the city and on the highway, but few people can argue with it on off-road.

Configuration and prices

The minimum set of options for Niva Urban 2018 is represented by a stove, cigarette lighter, manual adjustments and windows, fabric cabin, anti-lock system, a complete set of off-road systems, a power steering and other simple features. The price for this version of the car will be 450 thousand.

To get the most charged modification, you will have to pay extra 80 thousand. This also includes the air conditioning system, heating for the seats of the first row, parking sensors from behind, lifts on electricity for the front row glasses, slightly better furnishings of the cabin and one airbag.

Release date in Russia

According to AvtoVAZ representatives, the start of sales in Russia will begin in January 2018. A few weeks later, the car will go to the markets of neighboring countries.

Competitors

Now the market both our country and others are actively filled with compact SUVs. It is connected with the fact that the fashion appeared on them again. In addition to Niva, we use great demand, and. These models can be purchased at a relatively small cost, but they will not achieve a large level of comfort and safety from them. There are somewhat better equipped with such devices as, and. They cost much more expensive, but also are these cars at a higher level of execution.

New Niva Urban., We will talk about today to talk noticeably externally, which confirm numerous photos flooding network. On the photo Niva Urban 2015 The model year is striking the most vivid attributes that have entered the types of compact SUV.

Firstly, the bumper is now plastic and attached tight to the body, it would seem such a trifle, and how the entire exterior transforms. In place with bumpers put a more interesting grille. Doors frames are not shiny now, but black, like door handles. Thresholds are also painted in black. There are new, large and comfortable mirrors painted in the body color. All this gives a finished and harmonious image new Lada Urban. Car photo look next.

Price Niva Urban 2015

In essence, Niva Urban is a luxury version of the usual LADA 4x4. The cabin has air conditioning, fabric upholstery more decent species, large heated mirrors and adjustment, alloy wheels, improved noise insulation, power windows. In technical plan, while nothing seriously changed, the same motor, transmission. Today the price of Niva Urban is 438,000 rubles.

Technical characteristics of the new Niva Urban

Characteristics Niva Urban. Regarding the engine and transmission remained the same, but the manufacturer announces modernization. Old, noisy (due to chain drive) and voracious 8-valve gasoline Motor VAZ-21214 with a capacity of 83 hp They want to replace with a more economical 1.6 liter engine with a belt in the drive of the timing and lightweight connecting rod-piston group. New engine Niva Urban VAZ-11186 is able to develop 87 hp With the same 8-valves, but at the same time provide 143 nm of torque, against 129 nm with today's engine. In addition to improving the dynamics, such a replacement will provide serious fuel economy.

As for the transmission, so far in the cabin there are three incomprehensible, for urbanized citizens, lever. According to preliminary information, this year the lever will be left only one, this is a gearbox switching lever. The "Distribution" and "Redeyaki" levers will be removed, instead, the four-wheel drive will be activated by means of electrical products, by simply pressing the button. Test new version of the transmission of Niva Urban already underway. Photo attached further.

The electronic inclusion of all-wheel drive transmission 4x4 will make rid of the roast and vibrations of the dispensing box in the Salon of the Urban Niva. Next, the main characteristics of the compact SUV, currently relevant to today. Of the significant changes in dimensions, it is possible to note a slight decrease in the road lumen and the change in the total length of the car. Length decreased at the expense of new more compact bumpers.

Recently, rumors have been hardly held that the new Niva Urban can get the VAZ-21128 engine with a working capacity of 1.8 liters with a capacity of 120 hp. This power unit put on limited parties model Lada Priora in the Togliatti company "Super-Auto". There are even experimental samples of the new Niva with such a motor. However, how much will the Niva rise with such a motor is not clear.

The car "Lada Urban 4x4", whose technical characteristics we describe in detail in the article, announced two years ago by AvtoVAZ, as a real new domestic SUV, made on the basis of all the well-known Niva, produced from the distant 1977 in October 2014 . The renovated crossover began to be produced at the subsidiary in Togliatti CJSC "PSA Vis-Auto".

A bit of history

When creating a new model, the main objective for itself, engineers were not easy to refreshly update outdated "Niva", but also make a car more aggressive, modern and attractive for a simple urban resident. Hence the European standards - "Lada Urban 4x4" happened. What is different from "Niva" an updated model? Let's consider in more detail all changes.

Gabarits.

Due to the fact that the new SUV is made on the basis of "Niva", he retained it:

• length did not exceed 3740 mm mark;
• width - 1680 mm;
• height, also remained at the same level - 1640 mm;
• wheel base - 2200 mm.

The changes did not undergo the volume of the trunk, equal to 585 liters. Load capacity of 400 kg, no one does not surprise.

Studying the overall characteristics of the Lada Urban 4x4 car, changes are noticeable in size now here is lower clearance, which has shown by approximately 20 mm. However, this innovation can be called an advantage, since thanks to him the car has become more resistant at speed. It is worth noting that even a 200mm SUV grabs for excellent passability and regular halter on off-road.

Exterior

What are new designers added to the design of the car "Lada Urban 4x4"? This is not the only aspect that has undergone updates. New elements appeared in the exterior. This is a plastic bumper, a modified radiator grille, outer mirrors. A certain contrast made door handles performed in black. In addition, the SUV from the plant is equipped with 16-inch cast discs. In appearance, these are all changes - the truth, and there was enough to give them to the classical and the inversion "Niva" of fresh shades and some youth spark.

Interior Auto "Lada Urban 4x4"

Photo of the salon brightly demonstrates all the changes that were spent in the restyled version of the car. It is worth noting that this part of the car will delight numerous novelties. Here car enthusiasts will find a lot of interesting and useful features.

A modern lighting unit was installed on the ceiling, regular rubber carpets were added to the trunk and the interior. Attractive looks like new seats from high-quality and easily washing upholstery, on the perimeter of which is used color forcent. In the car "Lada Urban 4x4" (see the photo of the salon below), unlike ascetic "Niva", finally, the air conditioner appeared, and the external mirrors received not only the possibility of electronic regulation, but also heating. The innovations also need to include more modern steering wheel, power windows, a regular radio tape recorder and better noise insulation than the predecessor.

The front panel and torpedo look old-fashioned, does not save even borrowed from the VAZ-2115 "instruments". Ventilation and heating can be controlled using archaic runners. Plastic cheap and hard, a lot of creaks and crickets, and the ignition lock is located on the left, as in the post-war "Moskvic".

Lada Urban 4x4: Specifications

As for the driving qualities, the LADA 4x4 Urban received the ABS and BAS systems, but the engine remained unchanged - the usual and outdated 1.7 liter engine capacity of 83 liters. from. and torque in 129 nm. Naturally, such an aggregate is unsuitable for the urban cycle and actively driving. According to the internal tests of AvtoVAZ, the Urban model was able to develop the maximum speed of 142 km / h. By the way, diesel versions of the engines are not released until today.

It remains unchanged and still all-wheel drive. Borders, pit and drifts in the yard did not scary to the driver if he travels by Lada Urban 4x4 car. Technical characteristics of the gearbox standard (5 steps). It is borrowed from VAZ-2121. Such a all-wheel drive transmission C distributes torque between bridges, improving the permeability. It remained with the possibility of forced blocking. The manufacturer's plans were to deprive the "urban" of a reduced transmission, which was not popular with the owners of the usual "Niva". But in fact, the restyling version remained with three levers (gearbox, distribution and "Redeyaka").

Consumption of fuel

According to the manufacturer, fuel consumption in the mixed cycle at Lada Urban is almost 10 liters per hundred mileage. True, according to the reviews of the owners, the SUV has a much larger appetite: a weak engine, outdated in all respects transmission and a decent car weight affect the flow rate not in a smaller side.

Sales 2016

The release of Lada Urban continues in 2016, and the prices range from 479,000 to 516,700 rubles, depending on the configuration and equipment. Buyers of the SUV proposes a rich selection of color gamut, in which a car can be represented: "Jasper", "Coriander", "Odyssey", "Portwine", "Cosmos", as well as standard - white and black.

Summarize

Considering the long-term history of the development of the model LADA 4x4, "Urban" in no case should be considered a new generation. It is only a modification, a small update, affected "Niva" in terms of internal and external design design, several useful functions have also been added. With the exit of the car "Lada Urban 4x4", the interior has become a little more attractive, but to truly be called a bestseller in the SUV market, AvtoVAZ will have to work very much.

Both car Niva-2121 and Niva Urban releases one plant-producer of VAZ - Volzhsky automotive factory. Only the first model is an ordinary passenger car, familiar to every Russian, and Urban is his luxury version. What is the difference between Niva Urban from ordinary Niva 2121? All features will be considered in this article.

Basic information about the car Niva 2121

Niva 2121 is still known as Lada 4 × 4 and is considered a car with an increased cross-country. The manufacturer's plant presents his creation as a sacrifice of a small class, which is equipped with:

• the body of the carrier type - a wagon, with three doors;
• transmissia with constant full-wheel drive;
• a four-stage gearbox (mechanical);
• two-stage dispensing box;
• inter-axis differential (with the possibility of blocking if necessary).

The high level of patency Niva 2121 is achieved due to the following characteristics:

• big ground clearance - 220 mm;
• small bodies - the angle of entry is 32 degrees, the angle of the congress is 37 degrees;
• short wheelbase - 2.2 meters;
• traumatic steering with telescopic shaft;
• steering mechanism in the form of a global worm.

The mass production of this vehicle was launched during the times of the Soviet Union - in 1977, and continues to today.

The first model of Niva 2121 was developed and manufactured by Vase experts for the passage of off-road, while she did not have a covered body. Literally a year later, this oscidence was equipped with a metal roof, which made it possible to recognize its characteristics of a high class on the global automotive market. Its package included:

• permanent four-wheel drive;
• independent front suspension;
• closed all-metal carrier body body;
• low cost.

Niva 2121 is recognized at the global level with the best sort of fair, while the leader of the export products of AvtoVAZ. The high successes of this vehicle in the automotive sports are noted. This was confirmed repeatedly at prestigious rally raids - "Paris-Dakar", "Rally Pharaohs" and under.

In accordance with the requirements of progress, some details of the structure of Niva 2121 changed. So, in 2016, changes were made:

• the front hubs introduced an upgraded bearing that does not require periodic adjustments;
• improved swivel fist;
• installed a fastening of an independent front axle gearbox;
• mounted gas-filled shock absorbers.

To date, several dozen different models of Niva 2121 are known, among whom Niva Urban. This version of the three-door all-day began to be issued from 2014 on the Russian market, and in 2015 he entered the German market.

Basic Information about the car Niva Urban

This modification of Niva went on sale in 2014 and was designed for those car enthusiasts that prefer road-to-road trips and urban asphalt roads (from here and the name "Urban", that is, "urban").

Urban trends were reflected in the appearance of the vehicle. It has become less aggressive and more streamlined. This happened due to the converted radiator grille. Vase experts also made a number of innovations in the combination of soughs. This is directly related to the opinion of the experienced motorists and owners of other models of Niva 2121. The changes made a Niva Urban suitable for many hours of city traffic jams with the greatest comfort. Urban's Niva facilities include:

• autoconditioner;
• glasses with an athermal effect (thanks to them, the coolness in the automotive salon is saved longer);
• power windows;
• electric drive;
• comfortable hand shape;
• increased rear window cleaning zone;
• heated on mirrors.

But new plastic bumpers are less practical than the former bumpers made of steel. But thanks to this change, the Niva Urban became shorter in length (3640 mm) and squat. The reduced center of gravity raised the steering stability of this vehicle, which improved its maneuverability during high-speed turns.

Compare Niva 2121 and Niva Urban

Some innovations made in the package of the Niva Urban, we have already called previously. Experts argue that all other changes are purely symbolic. Let's figure it out if it is.

All changes can be divided into several groups:

1. In the car salon:
   • steering wheel with a reduced wheel diameter - 380 mm (on ordinary Niva 2121 - 420 mm);
   • power windows;
   • autoconditioner;
   • heated chairs intended for the driver and passengers;
   • the outer mirrors are adjustable with electronics and heated;
   • new floor tunnel cladding;
   • the floor tunnel is equipped with two cup holders, a round-shaped ashtray, a cigarette lighter and a toggle switch for inclusion of an autoconditioner;
   • between the front chairs, the buttons are placed to turn on the windows, the joystick to control the position of the mirrors;
   • seats have an upholstery with yellow-beige line;
   • "Priorovsky" ceiling for lighting salon.
2. In the design:
   • removable towing device (on the bumpers under the plugs installed a carving for screwing the eye);
   • alloy wheels;
   • DVS with distributed injection;
   • no cardanov in transmission;
   • the drive shafts are installed with hinges of equal angular velocities to communicate a handout box with gearboxes;
   • compacted sheath of the cable for opening the hood;
   • dual power washer nozzles;
   • spring clamps in the cooling system;
   • elongated wiper brushes;
   • daytime Running Lights.
3. In external design:
   • new model of radiator lattice;
   • ornament on the rear door;
   • the windshield seal does not have chrome inserts;
   • black door handles;
   • modified coloring technology (two soil painting - cataphoresis and polyester);
   • stylish body color - metallic cappuccino.

The small diameter of the steering wheel is justified by the fact that the driver in this case is more convenient to be placed on the driver's seat. Thanks to almost weightless management details, Niva Urban is conveniently managed. Given the increased visibility, it became much more efficiently producing parking.

New plastic bumpers are exposed to scratch, especially when driving off roads. And the new body painting, due to double primer, gives a guarantee of the coating resistance with improved anti-corrosion protection. The capacity of the luggage compartment is designed for 265 liters. But this is not the limit. The trunk volume can be increased by simple procedure: fold the rear row of the chairs. The resulting volume of the luggage compartment will be 585 liters. It is very convenient when transporting items with large dimensions.

Engineers Ladatold about the next stage of modernization of the legendary SUV Lada 4x4.. Experts conducted serious work on changing the chassis cars. The main emphasis was made at improving the consumer properties of the suspension. In front of the engineers there was a task of improving the strength, reliability and durability of individual nodes. The necessary changes were made including in the design of the front axle: it was disconnected from the engine and installed on the front suspension. This solution led to a decrease in unnecessary vibrations. This innovation also allows, if necessary, make installation on a car almost any power unit.

To make changes to the hub assembly of the car, the specialists have worked on the front swivel fist: instead of installing the conical bearings, it was decided to use a two-row ball bearing of improved hermetic. One of the main advantages of this part is that it is not required to be adjusted during operation. Previously, it was necessary to do this every 10-15 thousand kilometers. The swivel fist as a whole was modernized from the point of view of kinematics. So updated Lada 4x4.will become more stable when braking. The hub, the body of the outer hinge and the brake disc - the latter is currently being installed according to the standard, for all Ladascheme. Earlier this happened on a separate scheme for an SUV.

You should stay in more detail on the brake disc. Currently, thanks to the work of engineers, it is covered by the anti-corrosion composition. The upper and lower ball fingers were completed - the fastenings of the front stabilizer were changed, the design of the stabilizer installation pads. This makes it possible to eliminate the process of squeezing the pillows from the rome during the operation of the SUV.

The next stage of improvement is to reconfigure the suspension. The operation is made to improve damping characteristics. Changes touched the front springs. To increase the energy intensity, gas-filled shock absorbers are currently installed.

To improve the quality, experts have made changes to the lower hinges, produced a fluid replacement in shock absorbers and upgraded the valve group. For the first time at SUV Lada 4x4. A gas support is applied and synthetic oil is used.

Rubberometallic hinges underwent upgrades. Coloring rod elderly or powder, thus increasing corrosion resistance.

It was possible to achieve a decrease in noise when working shock absorbers and increase their work resource - now it constitutes a practically full cycle of the car service.

The special pride of specialists is the introduction of an unregulated hub bearing - the node has become much more reliable and does not require costs.

Tests of modernized cars took place in the Samara and Ulyanovsk regions, as well as in the Krasnodar Territory.
Engineers noted - the contributors made significantly increased, the speed of passing the tests for testing increased.
