This "Niva" does not go off-road, although 1 million rubles have been invested in it

VAZ-2121 "Niva" is unique by car. Having appeared in 1977, the car became the world's first serial crossover. Before that, no one had thought of making such cars. There were frame SUVs or regular passenger cars on the chassis of 4x4 models. Moreover, the Niva is considered the "correct" crossover, a standard, not an urban one. Despite the lack of a frame, the car can give odds to a number of full-fledged SUVs. The secret of the model's success is in the short base and overhangs, permanent all-wheel drive, and the genius of Soviet design engineers. This car is still being produced, of course, having been modernized and created several different versions, including five-door ones. But in terms of cross-country ability, the best is the old VAZ-2121, aka LADA Niva Legend.

And if you invest another million rubles in the Niva, you can get a full-fledged one. cross-country vehicle, capable of participating in off-road sports competitions. Although, tuning can be different. Sometimes it can make a car beautiful and eye-catching, but at the same time lose all the advantages inherent in the design. Such a miracle can be seen in the video of the Gorbunoff channel. This is the same Niva that does not go off-road, to the delight of UAZ owners. The owner of the car, who, according to him, invested a million rubles in tuning, is disappointed. But he honestly tries to prove to everyone and to himself that the Niva is capable of driving, despite the modifications that are strange for this class.
