This concept was shown as the recent Moscow Auto Show.
It’s obviously starting point in developing a replacement for the aging Lada Niva. Or at least a more luxury version of it.
No details yet on which motor it have, but there’s an auto box & low range. It’s 10cm shorter than a Duster but the Renault design cues are visible.
I like it.

The front end is inspired by the Pajero Sport
Flex is overrated

It’s likely to be on a Duster platform. Very possible.
There’s a little bit of the old Niva in their somewhere. Like the top indicator light...

I am not a fan of the latest trends with all the accent bulges and creases.

I am a little bit disappointed in the looks of this concept Lada. It looks quite soft. The Lada Niva, as we knew it, is actually not bad as a 4x4 trail vehicle.
