Stories From

VAZ-2121 is completely original, pure vazovskaya design, entirely developed by factory engineers. Born car in those early years, as they say in one breath. In 1972, the first two "crocodile" quickly proved its right to its rightful place under the sun.

The following year the car has got a metal roof and its own, which soon became a famous name - "Niva". The matter proceeded so quickly that in January 1974 the car was presented to the state tests. And incandescent sands of Turkmenistan, and dizzying heights of Pamir (with altitude passes to 4600 m) car was at home.

The compact SUV VAZ-2121 "Niva" with a monocoque body is considered to be the most original and successful development of the domestic automotive industry. In April 1977 "Niva" has made on the world market caused a sensation unique to his time combination passenger comfort and high cross at more than competitive price (but only beyond the borders of the Soviet Union). "Niva" almost did not have analogues in the world automotive industry practice! In 1980, the car "VAZ-2121? awarded the gold medal of the 53rd International Fair in Poznan.

No other Russian cars up close and had such success in the international arena. In "Autoexport" proposals come from various corners of the globe. There were also two special export version: VAZ-21211 with the 1.3-liter engine (for countries with expensive fuel and higher taxes on engine size) and VAZ-21212 with the right wheel. The latter, incidentally, enjoyed very good demand in England. Rapidly growing export volumes. In the late 1980s - early 1990s. he sometimes exceeded 50% of the issue. Over the years the production of more than one and a half million vehicles produced were exported over 500 million in more than 100 countries.

"Field" - terrain vehicle with permanent all-wheel drive can not be disabled (SUVs to "Niva" was only a "Range Rover") with interaxle lockable differential and transfer case with down-side. This power unit was taken from the mass model "Zhiguli" VAZ-2106, and "razdatka" was connected to the transmission intermediate driveshaft.

Many foreign firms offered tuning for "Niva" successful plastic kits obveski and other types of finishing, for example, is not an extra, extra sound insulation. Some made it to the base, even pickups. By the way, with the 90s "Niva" - one of the favorite places for Russian tuning workshop. By design, the VAZ-2121 was the most unified with the "Zhiguli" (according to the power unit, and many elements of the interior - the model VAZ-2106), but it was not quite justified, particularly in relation to a separate transfer case connected to a standard "Zhiguli" KP short driveshaft. In the absence of the mutual balance of these units, transmission awful noise. This unit was the "Achilles' heel" of the model.

In the 90s, with the termination of a number of parts shortage, "Niva" became the most accessible domestic SUV. The plant was opened on the basis of the ability to create "Niva" different, modifications demanded by the market, as well as to modernize the base model.

For example, in 1993 there was a transitional version of the VAZ-21219 with the old body and more powerful and high-torque 1, 7-liter carbureted engine "21213" equipped with a contactless ignition system. KP equipped overdrive 5th gear (though not all of its machines installed), the main steam ratios were changed from 4, 3 and 4, 1 and 3, 9, thereby reducing fuel consumption. In addition, between "razdatkoy" and CP began installing the main shaft with constant velocity joints from "Oka", which is somewhat reduced noise and vibration.

As a result of modernization in 1993, it came to light a new model of "Taiga", which was given the code "VAZ-21213". This four-seater passenger car terrain with permanent all-wheel drive can not be disabled. From its predecessor "Niva" These models look like sisters, twins. VAZ-21213 received an upgraded body with a third door, reaching to the bumper (shipping anything in the luggage compartment has become much easier) and square instead of rectangular lights of the "six". The updated interior appeared modern instrument panel such as "2108", and also changed the front seats. Hard to believe that between the modifications 16 years. During these years the factory has not made almost no changes in the design of 2121.

Other intermediate version with the old one, 6-liter engine designated as VAZ-21217, and the export version with a diesel engine Peugeot 1.9 liter - 21215. Even this half-hearted modernization allowed the "Cornfield" successfully live up to the XXI century. But time takes its and modern requirements for passive safety "Niva" satisfies already struggling, however, export version were still able to bring to the EURO III standards for safety and emissions. By the way, landing, landing on fully foldable rear seat is very difficult, and the trunk was a small for a multi-purpose vehicle.

In the 90 export-produced version of the 21214-36 with the engine equipped with the central injection and catalytic converter. Then the engine upgraded by distributed injection and began to supply the domestic market and (without converter).

Tolyatti firm PSA "Bronto" since 1995 makes small series based on the "Field" on the elongated base 300 mm Collector armored car VAZ-212182 "Force" and "civil" version of the VAZ-212180 "Handicap". These models differ in comfort and smoothness at practically the same and maneuverability. Even longer (500 mm) five-door station wagons and pick-ups on the basis of "Niva" OPP makes "VAZ" and several small firms Togliatti (see. VAZ-2131).

"Field" is not designed for constant ride on the road, and not very suitable for urban use because of the increased fuel consumption, "heavy" vehicles (no power steering) and noisy transmission. However, its competitive price, the relative cheapness and ease of repair parts attract the attention of even second-hand copy of "Niva».

At one time, the fate of "Niva" has been called into question in connection with the organization of the joint venture "GM-AvtoVAZ" for the production of Chevrolet Niva. Under an agreement with the US production of the old model was to cease by 2006, but due to the revision of the Agreement from "AvtoVAZ" is now possible to produce Lada Niva (since 2005 officially called "Field"). In addition, its CKD-kits since 2003 to deliver a new assembly plant "ASIA AUTO" in Ust-Kamenogorsk (Kazakhstan), the Ukrainian "LuAZ" and several assembly plants in South America.

VAZ-2121-21214 (Lada Niva) - one of the most popular SUV in the domestic market, even new cars virtually no competition on a parity "price + quality + permeability", as used moderately (from one to three) - all out of competition. All the specific problems of this model are well known repairmen (though not always successfully treated), parts are cheap enough and distributed no less than to "Lada". When you purchase is necessary to carefully examine the body and chassis for heavy use. If the vehicle is often used on roads or as a towing vehicle, such a purchase should be abandoned. Other things being equal is better to choose a car with a less noisy "razdatkoy."
