New 2021 Lada Niva Legend 4x4 full review

This is the new 2021 Lada Niva Legend 4x4. The same Niva born to the Soviet world in 1977, but slightly different. You still have to use a little key to unlock the doors, and there’s still a gun rack and snow plough on the options list, but now it has a real headlining, extra soundproofing and optional AC. You can also buy it in the UK again, thanks to a small importer in London - Jonny has always had admiration and respect for this jolly ex-communist cockroach. It has just enough comfort and utilitarian style to feel like one of the late Defenders. Albeit one with healthy turning circle and unquestionable reliability.

Left hand drive only, but they can be bought new from £12k ( vat). Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show. The Late Brake Show new car launch playlist is proudly supp
