Lada Niva Sport in details
14.4. 2025 | LADA

The beginning of April is special for all fans of the LADA Niva model, because 48 years ago the very first serial Niva rolled off the Avtovaz assembly line, the de facto founder of the modern compact SUV class. It is therefore not surprising that during the anniversary period the production of the Niva Sport began, which combines the capabilities of an off-road and sports car.

 

The modification of the sports model has received about 140 design changes compared to the NIVA Legend model. For example, on the outside you will find a reinforced body, lowered ground clearance from 220 mm to 200 mm, more efficient brakes, sports shock absorbers, 17-inch alloy wheels, widened fenders, daytime running lights or a tire repair kit (because a full-fledged R17 spare tire will not fit under the hood). Inside the black-and-red interior, ergonomic seats, an adjustable steering column and a leather steering wheel have their place.

 

As part of the basic equipment, you can also look forward to air conditioning, heated front seats and electrically adjustable mirrors. Optionally, you can reach for roof rails, additional high beams or a hood intake cover.

 

Under the hood of the car is a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with a power of 122 hp, which (similarly) was used in the Lada Granta Sport model. It works with improved intake and exhaust, has an improved camshaft and special software. Thanks to this, the Lada Niva Sport accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 11.8 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 162 km/h. The transmission is five-speed, manual. The additional transmission (reduction) and the differential lock are then shifted by one lever (change compared to two) mechanically from the driver's seat.

 

The price of the model in Russia is 1,699,000 rubles, which, converted into crowns, is about 460,000 CZK. However, this is a domestic price, excluding import (which is currently not possible), fees, customs duties, Czech taxes and approvals. We do not offer the Sport model here, but if you were to import it as a private person, we would be able to approve and register it for you.
