The lada Niva has various modifications and parts and is a cheap reliable vehicle that fits the post apocalypse theme, having various engine options body parts it can be modified into multiple configurations to fit any challenge be it a offroad rally jeep or a rock climber, or an asphalt speedster. Like the UAZ van it's still in production and has barely changed making it a legend of a vehicle.

The potential for interchangeable parts with the current Dada due to brand compatibility would be great
Niva is still produced but I have to say it's really not cheap anymore
Even when it's still the same car from 1977, currently for a new Niva you have to pay 1,7 Million Rubel ≈ 19000 euro
Comparing it to other offroaders of similar or greater capabilities its cheaper
It doesn't even have an airbag 2026
I hear people compare it to the G wagon and the Land rover which cost way more and give a similar performance
You can rip the steering wheel off by pulling
And hated by more
Where I'm at many drive it haven't heard complaints about its performance heck the lack of safety is more of a feature cuz when you die tou won't deal with the cost of surviving after an accident
83HP at 129 Nm Torque and 0-100 in 17 seconds...
When Russians wanna go real off-road to reach places the rather take UAZ 452, it has better off-road performance
And is still in a similar price range
That I totally agree with
It's an overall better vehicle but the fact its a van seems to push some people away
The old lada was cheap and fun to handle, now is now, the game takes place in a previous era so I though I'd offer an iconic vehicle to the Russian family
garbage car
says the one liking a Daewoo
One man's garbage is another man's treasure
True
i put a like on daewoo because my frined posted that so i just liked it for fun, but lada niva is horrible car
ugly ass soviet car
like any car game dont have a soviet rubish
Your opinion is taken into account and respected, also Russians don't build for comfort nor for looks, their cars are purely for ruggedness and durability, I often see people with lada nivas UAZs and all other form of soviet cars around in good condition and the only complaint is its ugly and rides a bit rough unless you put in german seats.
yeah, some people are "Russian/Soviet car bad"
without doing much research into the overall quality and what they were truly made for
Worst soviet car issue... to make it rust proof you gotta strip it bare and apply protective coating and then paint it again, past that their immortal
There's tons of ladas and Zil and Kamaz running around
yeah, once you did that they will last you a lifetime
and they are only meant to get you from point A to point B and back
not for comfort, unless it's a Volga
Chaika, pinnacle of soviet luxury
Heck volgas were very good too
I heard of a guy who put his Lada up on a balcony "for better times"
was up there ever since lol
