"Niva Chevrolet" - characteristics of the model range of SUVs

Is it possible to buy a good off-road vehicle for 450-500 thousand rubles in the domestic market? It turns out, you can. And today we are not talking about cars in the secondary market. In this article we will consider the option of buying a new jeep called "Niva Chevrolet". The characteristic of the cross-country ability of this all-terrain vehicle is familiar to every car enthusiast, and today we will try to find out what innovations the domestic manufacturer has put into practice in the new, 2013 model line of the legendary Niva.

Appearance

The design of the new SUV really makes the drivers respect. The reason for this is the cooperation of domestic developers with Italian designers who were able to create a truly off-road car. Front of the novelty are branded headlights of the main light, as well as a large grille with a gold emblem of the American concern Chevrolet. The exterior of the SUV is emphasized by round fog lamps and a new body kit. True, according to motorists, the black inserts on the bumper look more organic than the painted body color. The new model added a little in size, and also acquired multi-functional rear-view mirrors. Now it has a heating and electric drive.

Interior

The inner part of the Neva Chevrolet also underwent changes. First, the SUV has a more modern instrument panel with a comfortable 3-spoke steering wheel. Secondly, the rear-view mirror (the one that is located in the cabin itself) is securely fixed to the windshield, and during the movement it does not vibrate now. In general, the changes in the interior were aimed at improving the level of comfort for the driver and passengers, and this really turned out for the developers. But the old shortcomings still remained: because of narrow air lines, it is difficult for a person to adjust the levers. The rear row of seats is more like a chair with springs. Hydraulic corrector lights are inconvenient to operate. Although, if we compare the novelty with its predecessors, we can say that the new model has more merits, and, perhaps, soon the car will become the benchmark of the CIS automotive market.

"Niva Chevrolet" 2013 - specifications

Despite numerous changes in the field of design and interior, nothing new has happened in the technical part. The novelty is equipped with the same engine as the previous series of off-road cars "Niva Chevrolet". The characteristic of this unit provides a working volume of 1700 cubic centimeters and a capacity of 80 horsepower. According to the company, the interservice resource of the jeep has increased to 14 thousand kilometers. This is quite a good indicator for the new car "Niva Chevrolet".

The characteristic of economy is not very indicative here: for 100 km the novelty consumes about 8.6 liters of gasoline on the highway. In the urban cycle, this indicator increases to 14 liters. A little overestimated figure, but this is the series of off-road vehicles "Niva Chevrolet".

Characteristics of Dynamics

It is worth noting that the car has low dynamics characteristics. Up to 100 kilometers per hour the car accelerates in only 19 seconds, while the maximum speed is 139 kilometers per hour. Perhaps, these shortcomings will be corrected when the new "Niva Chevrolet" -2015 will appear, the characteristics of which, according to the company, will be an order of magnitude higher than the current series of cars.

Price

The cost of a new "Niva" varies from 434 to 510 thousand rubles.
