Representatives of AvtoVAZ told, with what models will have to compete with a compact SUV LADA NIVA Travel.
On the car market of our country, a novelty will compete for a place under the sun with a promotormal Lada Niva Legend (ex-Lada 4 × 4), as well as with the flagship of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant "UAZ Patriot" and the popular Renault Duster crossover. These are very serious rivals - what can they oppose the novelty from Togliatti?
The main advantage of Lada Niva Travel is the price. The car in the basic configuration costs 747 900 rubles, and in the top - 905 900 rubles. At the same time, the regular equipment of the SUV includes a driver's airbag, external rear-view mirrors with electric and heating, front electric windows and much more.
In the top version, the list of equipment is complemented by Eirbeg for the front passenger, the rear view camera with a lens washer, 16-inch wheels, factory tinting of the rear brake
It turns out that at the ratio of the price and equipment of Lada Niva Travel will be out of competition. It is only Lada Niva Legend cheaper, but in her salon, compared with the novelty - empty.
As for the passability, the new SUV and here in the leaders. According to the ability to overcome off-Round, it holds on a par with a classic 3-door "Nija", and "Patriot" exceeds compactness, allowing to crawl out where the larger "Ulyanovka" simply does not exist.
In this regard, by the way, Renault Duster is inferior to all domestic models: the crossover is a crossover, and both "Niva" and UAZ are clean water SUVs. But for the sake of justice it is worth noting that not all foreign particles can be removed on an easy road off-road with a strong and reliable "French".
Regarding the comfort, you can say the following - it is in Lada Niva Travel. According to this indicator, a novelty of Togliatti surpasses the usual "Niva", but loses to Waza and Renault on the part of the space in the cabin. "Duster", in addition, is distinguished from all the rest with comfortable seating.
And finally, the main thing is the quality of manufacture and assembly, as well as anti-corrosion resistance. Here the winner's laurels definitely belong to Renault Duster, and Lada Niva Travel can stay next to him.
But this is possible only if the novelty is the same as its ancestor - Chevrolet-Niva, which has a reliability and resistance to rust favorably distinguished from other products.
By the way, many "shnivods" fear that with the transition to the wing of AvtoVAZ, all this will remain in the past, but we will hope for the best - at least on AvtoVAZ already told that her body was galvanized.
