When AvtoVAZ will release a new old LADA Niva Sport with a “passenger” engine

0
This year, the classic SUV LADA Niva Legend gets the Sport version. The car will not only receive a more powerful power unit, but also changes in the suspension. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells why AVTOVAZ now wanted to produce a sporty all-terrain vehicle and whether buyers will accept it.

The “Nivovsky” 1.7-liter 83-horsepower engine was scolded for not having enough traction. To the factory’s credit, it must be said that it has been working to resolve the issue. For example, in 2014 they assembled a prototype equipped with a 1.3-liter FIAT MultiJet supercharged diesel engine with a capacity of 85 horses. There were no problems with placement under the hood, but there was no room left for a “spare wheel”. In addition, it was necessary to replace the “razdatka”, as it could not withstand the torque. In general, with all the adjustments, the price turned out to be solid, so the car did not go on the assembly line.

And recently information appeared on the Web that the Niva will receive a 1.8-liter 16-valve unit with a capacity of 122 horsepower. Of. We are talking about the VAZ-21179 engine, which appeared in 2016 and was installed on Vesta and XRAY. Now this is real.

The fact is that AVTOVAZ now needs to expand its model range, and the appearance of such a modification would come in handy. Yes, and all the technical solutions to “push” the modern “heart” into an outdated body are already there. For example, the Togliatti company “Super-Avto”, which produces “sports” Niva in small batches.

Engineers added a new clutch and flywheel to the 1.8 liter unit. They also rebuilt the oil sump and oil receiver. The exhaust duct was also fundamentally changed, a new radiator was installed and the spare wheel was moved to the fifth door. Now factory specialists just need to “finish” all these solutions in order to rule out mass breakdowns when the car goes on sale and they start driving it mercilessly through ruts.

It is also known that the “Legend” with the Sport nameplate will receive a reinforced suspension and an electric lock will be added to the rear gearbox. Such solutions also already exist. In other words, the factory workers do not have to invent anything: it is enough to carry out resource tests and certification tests. From all this we conclude: a more powerful modification of the SUV may appear in the second half of this year. The price for it, most likely, will be within a million rubles. Very affordable for today.
