Passability of Soviet cars - the hero of jokes will win
Soviet passenger cars were not considered SUVs. But if you remember which roads you traveled on, it turns out that not everyone will go there on a crossover. Maybe the level of Soviet drivers is higher? No, cars were universal, adapted for life. Take the ground clearance - it surprises with its height. Before, it seemed like it should be. And if the tires are good, then the rear-wheel drive car is able to conquer off-road. Of course, they didn’t go into the dirt on purpose. This was not required - on the way to the dacha, it was necessary to force several puddles.


What is the most passable Soviet passenger car? Or does it depend on the power of the engine and the driver? We will not take Niva into account - naturally, she is the leader, and that is why she was developed. In theory, the Volga was the most powerful. Only it is very long. Front-wheel drive models of the VAZ type "Chisel" should also go well. "Muscovites", especially with grandfathers behind the wheel, still sometimes show miracles of cross-country ability. And what can "Zaporozhets"? Those who had this car know that the designers prepared it for off-road use. Or so it happened. But the engine on the rear axle and a flat bottom turn this unprepossessing subcompact into a real all-terrain vehicle. You can evaluate the patency of Soviet cars thanks to the video of the AUTO HISTORY channel.
