At the end of last year, our compatriots spent more than three trillion rubles on the purchase of new cars, which became a record in the entire history of the Russian car market. In the coming year, the cost of cars will not slowly but surely rise again and purchasing power will fall. However, this does not stop consumers from dreaming of an “iron horse”, and even with all-wheel drive. Plus, the class has something to make money without the help of a mortgage and the sale of their organs. Let’s talk about the most affordable four-wheel drive vehicles…
LADA NIVA LEGEND
“Starushka-Niva”, of course, is not a crossover, but a real SUV, which can be taken to places where “SUVs” will die for a long time. Permanent four-wheel drive, ease of maintenance and the ability to repair it in the garden of your own home with a hammer and a strong word make this car truly unique. Although at the same time it still remains dirty and aesthetically unappealing. However, the lack of beauty and comfort is more than compensated by the price – only 830,000 rubles.
LADA NIVA TRIP
The more modern version of the Niva, which evolved from the Russian-American Chevrolet Niva, has a more ergonomic interior, advanced options and a modern (by AVTOVAZ standards) design. This is probably why they decided to sell the car almost 400,000 rubles more expensive than the classic model. In addition, the Travel’s engine is three ‘horses’ weaker than its ‘brother’, although this has no significant effect when slipping in the mud and overcoming gullies.
