Domestic car with a high cross-country performance "Lada 4x4" is available in several versions. The car received its modern name in 2004, although the development of a similar version has been carried out since 1977 (the basic modification is the VAZ-2121). The appearance of such a technique made a splash in the corresponding market. Serial production of SUVs of this type continues today. It passes without significant changes (in terms of some basic technical parameters). Consider the lineup that manufacturers offer, including the characteristics and features of vehicles.
Lada 4x4 Urban
This model was presented in 2014 at an automobile exhibition in Moscow. The city version of the updated "Niva" received not very many improvements, even compared to the 1975 version. The machine is produced by a subsidiary of the Togliatti Plant (VIS-AUTO). This modification is an off-road vehicle of domestic production in the original version. A characteristic feature is that the car has three doors.
In the exterior of the car, the characteristic features of the famous domestic SUV are observed. Among the innovations, a fresh design with integrated plastic bumpers and a black radiator grille with three transverse fins can be noted. This decision allowed to “refine” the angular proportions of the car. Additionally, the new Lada 4x4 received large rear-view mirrors, sixteen-inch wheels and a curved rear window wiper. At the beginning of 2016, a version was released in which five doors are provided. This variation is much more convenient in terms of passenger accommodation and cargo transportation, but loses in terms of safety. It has its own nuances, which are not always positive.
Description
The updated version of the vehicle received modified overall dimensions along the length, width and height (4.14 / 1.69 / 164 m). Between the axes of variations with three and five doors, the difference is 2.2 and 2.7 meters, respectively. Ground clearance - 20 / 22.5 cm.
The internal equipment of Lada 4x4 is a utilitarian salon with an outdated design. The dashboard is borrowed from "Samara", the design is simple and the presence of devices that transmit all the necessary information. The steering rim has become smaller in diameter, due to the thickening of the wheel itself.
The central old-fashioned console “Lada Niva 4x4” is tailored with straight and regular lines and maximum minimalism. The torpedo is equipped with rectangular nozzles for heating and ventilation, as well as a primitive control unit "climate" in the form of several "sliders" and buttons. They are responsible for heating the rear window and similar functions related to interior comfort. The equipment of the car is in many respects comparable with other VAZ models.
Features
The model with three entrances is equipped with an uncomfortable and cramped rear seat. Limited space and the absence of head restraints negatively affect safety. “Lada Niva 4x4” with five exits is much more convenient in terms of capacity, however, it does not differ much in comfort.
The internal equipment of the domestic SUV is made of cheap and hard plastic. Build quality also leaves much to be desired. Among the disadvantages of ergonomics - the location of the ignition to the left of the steering wheel, and the control of mirrors and glass lifts in the center.
In the urban version of the car in question, a trunk of 420 liters is provided, which can be increased to a maximum volume of 780 liters. In the three-door version, this figure is reduced to 585 liters. Folding the backs of the rear seats allows you to get a comfortable and even loading area, in addition, a spare tire on a steel disk is offered.

Bronto
The new Lada 4x4 model is an SUV with three doors and four-wheel drive. According to the manufacturer, the car combines decent road comfort and a good indicator of patency.
The car was created on the basis of the modified modification "Lynx", which was released in 2009. The external difference is the increased ground clearance, the presence of roof rails, unique rims and tires with large patterns (235/75 R15). Also, the car in question can be equipped with the “Image” package, which includes extenders on the wheel arches, unique bumpers made of special plastic and fog light elements.

In the engine compartment of the updated Lada 4x4 there is a gasoline power unit with four cylinders. Its volume is 1.7 liters with a power of 83 horsepower. The maximum rotating potential is 4 thousand revolutions per minute (129 Nm).
Equipment
In the standard version, the domestic SUV of this series is equipped with a mechanical gearbox in five modes. The gear ratio is 4.1. The transmission drive is provided on all wheels. The design of the model has developed a symmetrical center differential, as well as self-locking analogs between the wheels (with the possibility of activating a lower gear).
The base of the updated Lada 4x4 has a load-bearing body with a longitudinally mounted power unit. The front suspension is equipped with an independent system with wishbones, and the rear analogue is equipped with a continuous axle with traction.

Three-door model
The “Lada 4x4” package with three doors has the simplest possible appearance, and is also not spoiled by unnecessary design refinements. In fact, the SUV is a compact car with an angular configuration and round headlights. Practical and small bumpers, decent clearance, allowing to overcome various types of terrain, are also distinguished in the exterior.
Be that as it may, this vehicle looks outdated. Volumetric mirrors from the Niva Chevrolet and daytime light-emitting diode non-LED headlights located in the “sidelights” that turn on when the ignition is activated do not help refresh the exterior.

What's inside
The three-door Lada 4x4, the photo of which is shown below, has a simple and outdated interior. Finishing from cheap plastic is noticeably “lame”. There are backlashes, creaks and other unpleasant little things. Nevertheless, the seats have a pretty nice soft fabric upholstery.
The instrument panel is identical to the Samara-2 counterpart. It has acceptable information content, the center console is made in the "Spartan" version. There are several deflectors and “sliders” that are responsible for the operation of ventilation and heating systems. One of the negative aspects of the design of the “torpedo”, many users consider the location of the ignition switch to the left of the steering wheel, and installation of an alarm in the usual place.
The front seats are quite comfortable, although they are not ideal in terms of ergonomics. The steering column is not adjustable, which is not always suitable for a driver with high stature and impressive dimensions. The rear seat is not very well placed, does not have head restraints, landing through the front door is not comfortable. The luggage compartment holds from 265 to 585 liters.
Lada Cross 4x4
When developing this car, the Renault Megan crossover platform was used. In a new guise, the car received increased ground clearance (19.5 cm) and 18-inch wheels. The body part was designed almost from scratch, the outlines, the radiator grille and the configuration of the light elements were updated.
The interior of the vehicle (compared to its predecessors) was transformed beyond recognition. The dashboard got an unusual shape, the steering column - a three-spoke wheel. There is also a pair of tunnels for appliances and a unique design of door handles.
Of particular note is the new Lada 4x4 seating. They are equipped with a frame with an integrated headrest made of composite materials, the seat itself has obvious lateral support. The rear sofa was transformed into a pair of separate armchairs.

- The maximum speed on the highway is 190 km / h.
- Estimated price - 0.5 million rubles.
The characteristics of the Lada 4x4 of this modification opened up broad prospects in the domestic market back in 2012. High passability of this car, a powerful engine and increased ground clearance are especially noted. However, the project was frozen, and a crossover under that name entered mass production only a few years later.
Pickup
All-wheel drive "Niva" in the format "Lada 4x4" is a vehicle with increased cross-country ability. At the same time, some modifications of the machines of this sample. They can serve as a small truck. For example, pickup trucks can transport building materials, agricultural goods and much more. The specified car is produced under the index 2329, differs from version 21213 in the body structure.
The appearance of the car Lada 4 Ă— 4 Pickup is quite recognizable. The radiator grill is made of dark plastic, has a characteristic placement, no chrome elements are observed. Above the round light elements are indicators of turns and dimensions. The length of the car is slightly larger than the "classic".
The rear part changes its configuration and appearance, depending on the equipment of the loading platform. It can be a plastic casing at or above the roof of a car. Also in the kit is sometimes offered a soft tent. The door handles fit optimally into the overall concept, although it does not differ from the counterparts of previous versions.
Salon pickup almost no different from the standard "Lada 4x4." The dashboard has a minimal but informative set of instruments, including a speedometer and a tachometer. Also on the “dashboard" there is a motor temperature gauge. The seats of the updated car received lateral support, an inflated back and a more comfortable profile of the seats themselves. Window leaves were removed from the doors, equipping the door frames with large windows with a different configuration. When driving off-road, the passenger can hold on to the handrails, which are not provided for in some early models of the Lada 4x4.
Test
For a pickup truck, a standard suspension is provided in the form of rear springs and a front linkage system. Small bumps on the road the vehicle passes without any problems, and on significant potholes the car throws up. This is especially felt if the car goes without load. Springs make it possible to take on board a larger load than versions with shock absorbers, while the dynamics are stabilized even on large irregularities.
The car is designed to move on dirt roads and off-road. In the latter case, overcoming obstacles will be more difficult than on a Niva with a short base, since the car in question is heavier and larger. At the same time, the car was equipped with a center differential lock, which made it possible to show maximum throughput quality indicators.
TTX pickup of the new model
Consider the main parameters of the Lada 4x4 pickup:
- Length / width / height - 4.52 / 1.68 / 1.64 m.
- Wheelbase - 2.7 m.
- The power plant is an atmospheric gasoline engine.
- The working volume is 1.7 liters.
- Power indicator - 80 horsepower.
- Torque - 127 Nm.
- Compression speed pair - 3.9.
- Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h - 21 seconds.
- The speed limit is 135 km / h.
There are also 1.8 liter power units that are designed for the VAZ-2130 version. The volume of this unit is 100 "cubes" more than its predecessor. It has increased dynamics and traction properties. In sea trials, the difference in traction is palpable. Fuel consumption varies up to 10 liters, with a speed threshold of 90 km / h.
conclusions
The considered car of domestic production, although not the best among analogues, however, has its advantages in terms of price and endurance. It is for this that various models of the new version are preferred by consumers of the entire post-Soviet space.
