2005 Chevrolet Niva specs: mpg, towing capacity, size, photos

The Lada Niva (Russian: Лада Нива) is an off-road vehicle built by Russian automaker AutoVAZ. The car is very popular in its home country. It is also popular in Canada (though withdrawn from sale in 1997 it still has a cult following), South America, Europe, and other regions where the terrain requires a robust and tough car for a reasonable price. In Australia, popularity is limited as the vehicle is manufactured for a very different climate and many Nivas imported to Australia were rejects from the European Market.

It was one of the first off-road vehicles to feature a unibody architecture and a predecessor to current crossover SUVs. Before it was introduced to the UK, it was referred to by some in the motoring press as the 'Russian Range Rover'.

The Niva (2121) was Lada's (VAZ/ AvtoVAZ) first non-Fiat based model. Much of its mechanicals are carried over from the Fiat based Lada models, though the body, four-wheel drive system, and front suspension were designed by Lada. Production began in 1977 and continues today (as of 2008) with only minor changes to the engine, rear hatch design, and interior trim levels.

In basic form, the Niva has a carbureted 1.6-litre overhead cam four-cylinder petrol engine producing 54kW (72hp) and 126N·m (93ft·lbf), a four- or five-speed manual transmission, and full-time four-wheel drive. There are no locking hubs and the transfer case can be locked on the fly. The original Niva has a maximum speed of around 130 km/ h (80 mph), and can cruise at 90 km/ h (56 mph) while consuming petrol at a respectable 8.25L/ 100km (34.2mpg-imp; 28.5mpg-US). Its towing capacity is rated for up to 860 kg (1900 lb).
