Lada Niva Travel Faces Tough Competition from RAV4 and Jimny

The updated Lada Niva Travel has become more modern, but with the increase in price, competition has also intensified. Expert Dmitry Novikov listed models to SPEEDME.RU that, for the same 1.4–1.8 million rubles on the secondary market, offer more comfort, power, or space. The main alternatives are Renault Duster and Nissan Terrano. These crossovers with full-time four-wheel drive, a clearance of around 200 mm, and more comfortable suspension ride more pleasantly than the Niva on the highway and handle light off-road terrains with certainty. For those in need of a true off-road vehicle, it is logical to consider the UAZ Patriot: a frame construction, a spacious interior, and a complete reduction gear. closest in spirit to the Niva is the Suzuki Jimny: legendary off-road capability and sturdy construction, but with a compact interior and high liquidity. A slightly more practical option is the Suzuki Grand Vitara: permanent all-wheel drive and urban car comfort.
