Three-door Lada 4x4. Lada "Niva" (2121) - Live legend

Lada 4 × 4 - Truly legendary car With a multi-year story. He is unpretentious, hardy and universal. The vocation of Lada 4 × 4 is off-road, but the car is perfectly oriented in urban conditions.

30 years ago and today - a car for centuries

The new LADA 4 × 4 is characterized by concrete and progressive design, combining the basic qualities of a good SUV (including the corresponding sizes) with comfort passenger cars. In the updated model LADA 4 × 4 (Niva), 3 doors received an improved design, increased characteristics of patency with a constant non-discontinuous drive as Range Rover. From key performance characteristics marked the inter-axis blockable differential and disposal box with lowered nearby.

Body car carrying, 3-x-kdvechno, all-metal. Safety belts are present, comfortable head restraints at the front seats, the control option along the length and the tilt of the back. In order to increase the area of \u200b\u200bthe luggage compartment, it is possible to fold rear seat. By order, the model can be equipped with a washer, cleaner and electrical heating for rear glass. The engine on the new LADA 4 × 4 is set to 83 horse powers and 1.7 liters.

In the entire history of existence on lada market 4 × 4 proved that the principles of unshakable principles are embracing when it is designed. 30 years ago, the bet was made on reliability, ease of service, unique patency - and did not lose.

All early already in 1970, when Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, Alexey Kosygin, as part of the Erase of the Front of the City and Village, put the teams of Vase, AZLK and Izhmash, the task of creating a comfortable SUV for residents of the countryside.

So VAZ-2121 changed in the process of working out the design and improvement of design

The first experimental VAZ-E2121 showed light in 1971. Moreover, its appearance was very far from what we were accustomed to over forty years. In fact, it was a chassis with the simplest plumage, which worked out the concept of a new car - the SUV did not have a frame that at that time was considered unheard of design audacity. Initially, the car was planned to equip powerful diesel engine, onboard gearboxes, rear torsion suspension and even tire pressure regulating system, but later decided to create a simpler version with a large degree of unification with the models already produced AvtoVAZ, which was economically justified. This prototype allowed the Design Bureau under the guidance of Peter Pruzov to significantly reduce the timing of the car. Is the engine with a volume of 1.6 liters, is it sufficiently reliable the box, whether the lock is required inter-axis differential and lowering programs? The answers to all these questions were obtained precisely thanks to the VAZ-E2121. Interestingly, the test of the car was carried out in the strictest secrecy, and the questions of the factory worked were answered that they were experiencing a new Romanian SUV.

In the appearance close to the serial, VAZ-2121 appeared in 1972. Above design new car Worked artist Valery Semushkin. The car, according to the designer, was supposed to arrange residents and cities, and sat down. It should be equally comfortable to feel like a collective farmer who brings their products to the city market, and the worker who decided to leave the mushrooms into the forest. And since the car should have a relatively small trunk, spare wheel, sake of saving space, located in motor compartment. Then placing a spare wheel on the removal bracket behind the rear door was considered not aesthetic. In 1973, VAZ-2E2121, which looked almost as well known to all "Niva", was sent to the test run for Central Asia, after which he had acquired headlight cleaner and rear janitor. Akhometer appeared on the instrument panel, which allowed the driver to monitor turns when moving on a downstream transmission. In 1974, the car was put up for government tests and in the same year received his own name "Niva", which was patented. Interestingly, at that time the GOST for the tests of this type of car was not. After all, the standard test diagram of SUVs for "Niva" was too Surov, and the easy-to-face ... As a result, we decided to combine both programs taking into account the versatility of the car. According to the test results, the car received recommendations for serial production and delivery to export. True, before standing on the conveyor, the car received some more modifications. Thus, the rear "trophy" lights were replaced by "gears", from the "six" and the feet of the Nadfarniki. Chrome bumper gave way to aluminum. The second outdoor rearview mirror appeared. The first pilot-industrial batch of cars in the amount of 50 pieces was sent to the regions for operational exploitation. Representatives of the plant constantly supervised their novelty, which made it possible to reveal a few more "sores", which by April 1977 were eliminated, and "Niva" stood on the conveyor.

In addition to selling at home, Niva has been actively moving in foreign markets. For forty years more than 500 thousand SUVs were sent abroad. Unpretentious, but at the same time a fairly comfortable SUV attracted to buyers in more than 100 countries of the world. Importers actively converted the car, making pickups, cabriolets from it, stylizing it in fashion. In addition, the assembly of the model was set in Brazil, Greece, Canada, Panama, Chile, Ecuador. Exported "Niva" even to Japan, becoming the only soviet car, officially sold in this country. By the way, the Japanese, giving tribute to the General Designer "Niva", presented in 1986 by Peter Prusov advertising avenue for his future Suzuki Vitara. With the inscription "Cross Father of this car."

In 1978, VAZ-2121 was awarded a gold medal and recognized best car of its class at the international exhibition in Brno. Much on the account "Niva" and records. So, in 1998, Niva his move rose to Everest, at a height of 5,200 meters, in the same year, being dropped with a parachute, she turned out to be in the Arctic and reached the North Pole, and next year she climbed in Himalayas to height 7260 meters. She visited Fujiima. The reliability of the car also says that the serial car was able to work without serious breakdowns of the whole 15 years in Antarctica at the Bellinshausen station. And this is with the complete absence of roads. Much on the account "Niva" and sports achievements: multiple participation in the Rally "Paris-Dakar", Rally "Atlas", "Cameroonian rally" and other merits.

In 2001, the history of the VAZ-2121 as "Niva" ended. The owner of an exceptional license for the trademark "Niva" was the joint venture "Ji Em - AvtoVAZ". But the history of the car itself continued and continues under the name Lada 4x4.

1998. "Niva" was also in Antarctica (1990), and in the North Pole (1998), more than once conquered his tip of the top and tried victory in the Rally Marathons

1999. In 1999, Niva rose to a height of 5726 m in Tibet mountains. Before it is in such a height of the wheelcharcor did not rise in his course

For 40 years, Lada 4x4 has been standing on the Volga auto giant conveyor. Many believe that during this time she did not change at all. Well, we hope to disperse you in this. And here we will give only the most noticeable changes. If we talk about the petty modernization, then it was so much for this time that it would be enough for one article.

Running into a series of VAZ-21214 modifications with ABS and BAS. The car is partially unified with Niva-Chevrolet. In particular, the new clutch of Valeo was installed on it. As a result, the resource of this node has doubled, and the car itself has become less prone to vibration due to the enhanced damper spring and an enlarged disk.

In accordance with the legislation on all cars Lada. 4x4 Implemented daytime running lights in the Nadfarniki. Cata-factor soil and painting with metalliacs with a guarantee for end-to-end corrosion of the body up to 6 years have been introduced.

In the intermediate shaft, the kartannaya cross is replaced with a screen that reduced the vibrations emanating from the transmission, and significantly improved the comfort of the car. A new vacuum brake amplifier of increased dimension was introduced - from 8 to 9 inches, a new main brake cylinder was applied with a diameter of 22.22 mm instead of 20.64. The consequence of modernization has become reliability and durability brake system, Mileage increased before shift brake shoes. The dimension of the shock absorbers was increased, the length optimization and characteristics of the damping was carried out, which made it possible to increase the dynamic power intensity of the suspension, the suspension movement from 150 to 170 mm, significantly reduce the influence of the car's galloping, increase the resource of the shock absorbers.

The production of the configuration of the VAZ-21214 "Urban" with the changed external species (bumpers, radiator grille), electric car, air conditioning system and electric heating seats.

Changes are made to 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 vibrations, which allows, if necessary, install another (new) power unit on the car.

And one is best SUVs Of all the VAZ 2121 produced in Russia or many known as Niva.

This car is a small class SUV, since it does not have a large size, it can be called a crossover in size.

History

In 1970, the goal was set to build a car with comfort as well as passenger, but so that he could ride on a light off-road. As a result, several cars were presented, but not one of them was not allowed to serial production.

After a piece of car body, which was built on the basis, was also developed all challenges. Next, the car was tested throughout the Urals, and already in 1975 in the middle of the summer, an order was signed that VAZ 2121 must be launched into mass production.

As a result, the very first model released for sale appeared in 2 years. The plant achieved at that time production of 70,000 cars. At the same time, 80% of these cars went for sale in foreign countries. Also this is the first car that went for sale in Japan.

Restyling this model was conducted in 1994, and then he was not noticeable and these changes were only in design. Another imperceptible restyling happened in 2009, but there the work was mainly produced with the engine.

This model is also made with the 5th doors, and it does not just have five doors, it is longer. The model is also done to this day, so anyone who wants to buy themselves today.

Specifications

The motor in this car is initially carburetor from AvtoVAZ, which is known for the bending of the valves when the timing belt is cut. This motor 4-cylinder and has 8 valves, these valves are durable because they are made of cast iron.

This engine has a volume of 1.6 liters and with it it gives 80 horsepower. Unfortunately, in contrast to their competitors, Niva does not have impressive high-speed indicators, let's start with the fact that overclocking until hundreds of this car, with this motor, takes 21 seconds, and maximum speed It is 132 km / h.

In 2009, this motor from the carburetor was converted into an injection, unfortunately specifications Almost no high-speed indicators also changed, but it became more reliable than the past.

Both of these motors were equipped with a 5-speed. It is the same transmission that is installed on the VAZ 2106 models and.

Car suspension is not particularly difficult, in it are installed in front disk brakes, and the back of the drum. Car on a constant full drive, but you can turn off the thrust from the front wheels and use this car As a rear-wheel drive for ordinary urban movement.

So it is possible to include a downgrade to a big lift. In general, the suspension of this car for the SUV is made beautiful and there is even a popular phrase "where not one car, Niva and UAZ will erupt".

Interior

Seving into the car you will not see anything, you can not even enjoy the music, since it is not and all install it yourself. Everything that is in the interior is roughly speaking, this is a good stove and creaky glove box, which creaks as a central console.

Niva is the legend of SUVs, this is one of those cars that simply humiliates foreign competitors, for example, this car rose up to a height of 5,200 meters near Everest and arrived at the base camp.

This car was dropped from the plane to the North Pole, and after the slings were removed from her, she started and went and calmly overcame the North Pole.

This car anywhere can buy right now, as many people dream of starting their car and go ride the mud. Yes VAZ 2121 consumes a lot of fuel, but in most cases it is associated with the weight of the car, and so if someone decided to leave far and not on the road, then the price is at least 405,000 rubles.
