Thread: Test drive the new Niva (Chevrolet Niva)

 
In 2009, the Russian market has a new SUV Chevrolet Niva.
Modernization has touched the appearance of the car, and the Interior. While the technical part has remained unchanged. If you take a closer look at the machine, it can be seen that a facelift was the company of Italy. The new Niva put new radiator grille and new bumpers, plastic lining on the arches, doors and thresholds, as well as 16-inch wheels and with an improved design.
New plastic bumpers is nice, but not all such decisions are optimal from a practical side. For example, not every cable you can assign a hitch for towing.
Lighting, too, has changed in the new front headlamps beam separate lenses are installed and sealed design fog better protects against water and dirt.
During the drive to the four wheel drive something is abuzz in fixed brush. The rear seat without special facilities — very little legroom, in other wide fit 3 people comfortably here. Behind the swinging door trunk volume of 320 litres. While driving the engine responds sluggishly to the addition of gas transmission lever moves large and fuzzy. And to accelerate to 100 km/h takes patience and endurance. The set speed is accompanied by quiet roar of the engine, the transmission noise and vibration can be felt throughout the cabin. The brakes need to get used to a lot of effort to make long stroke makes the pedals when slowing down.
The car had a good ride, passengers in the cabin will not bother dosaždaûŝaâ shaking. The car can climb a steep roller coaster, to overcome the bumps of varying steepness, pits or small trenches. The small weight of the SUV has a positive effect on patency.
The new Niva is a simple, strong truck.
