CHEVROLET NIVA test drive since 2002 SUV

Havi Niva

After 7 years of conveyor life, Chevrolet Niva survived its first plastic. It is noteworthy that specialists from Stilebertone have worked on rejuvenation! They pulled their face, walked on the sides, painted the stern. And for work, they say, they took inexpensively
In front of Chevy Niva now neither give nor take Chevrolet Captiva. What, in fact, sought: the design of the face in Bertone was painted exactly under the corporate face-standing of the Chevrolet brand. The eyes of altered headlights were brought by a new bumper with built -in fog and a larger radiator grille with an enlarged branded emblem.
The new bumper did not change the angle of entry of the car, while in the center there is now a shock -resistant insert in it, replaced separately. The bumper itself is made with a high content of rubber: the factory workers promise that now it will not, as before, to prick, like a coal shell, from a light blow, especially in frosts. Better protected and the body. Moldings on the doors became wider, the thresholds acquired protective overlays, and wings with extensors of arches. External changes are crowned with roof religions, 16-inch discs of another design and a new rear bumper with gills of additional ventilation of the cabin, thanks to which the windows will fog less.

The salon was also summed up: they put the steering wheel from Opel Corsa, the levers of the transmission were put into new covers and knobs, and the cup holders and the pallet under the little things finally appeared between the driver and the passenger.

Under the ceiling appeared a glass and new lighting ceiling. The rear -view mirror is now glued to the glass and no longer shakes on the move, as on the old model
Otherwise, Chevy Niva remained the same. With the usual bouquet of advantages in the form of excellent patency and all -consuming suspension and disadvantages like a weak engine and chronically noisy transmission. GM-Avtovaz is preparing further modernization already at the level of the units, but no matter how after that the car did not fall out of the coveted half-million price niche. While Chevy Niva-2 fits into it: the cheapest equipment L is 412,000 rubles., 486,000 rubles will be asked for the top version of GLC.
