VAZ-2121
VAZ-2121 «Niva» - triple passenger car of the raised passableness. Produced the Volga automobile plant.
VAZ-2121 "Niva" development of the JSC "AVTOVAZ". Serially produced from 5 April 1977 till the present time (since 2006 - under the brand Lada 4x4. This is the car for the ride on the road, traveling to remote places, trips for hunting and fishing. Folding rear seat allows you to place and transporting various cargoes. Connector rear door on the floor level provides the convenience of loading and unloading.
"Niva" - - terrain vehicle with a permanent неотключаемым drive all-wheel (from SUVs to a "Niva" this was only the "Range Rover"), with a centre differential lock and transfer gear with a decreasing number. The car had a very progressive design, combination of old excellent off-road capability with the comfort of a passenger car, and practically did not have at that time analogues. Successfully exported to many countries. The car has become one of the first representatives of the so popular now "parquet" SUVs.
The concept and the history of
In the summer of 1970, the Chairman of the USSR Council of Ministers Alexei Kosygin set to collectives VAZ, AZLK Izhmash task to create-terrain vehicle with the comfort of the mass of passenger models. Were created prototypes of AZLK-415 and -416 and Il-14, but these cars were not prepared for serial production. The designers of the Volga automobile plant at the stage of development was moved to a promising model for many nodes and components developed by the enterprise «Zhiguli». Another feature a fully «passenger» design of the car - the car was nothing specific «off-road», «Niva» looked like a car. In the design of the widely used design elements and details of the VAZ-2106, and salon was practically identical to the model. In the end it turned out, according to one Western automobile magazine, «As if Renault-5" placed on the chassis of „Лэндровера"».
In 1972, had created the first running prototype of the e-2121 (the so-called «media units»), and in 1973 it was announced about preparing for serial production, and in 1974 appeared предсерийные samples. These machines have undergone a full cycle of tests, including mileage in the Urals and the Предуралью. For comparison with models of competitors specialists used the British Land Rover and Range Rover, as well as the UAZ-469. To assess the running qualities of a «Niva» combined «light» and «off-road» testing program. The order of registration of the car on the Assembly line was signed on 31 July 1975.
The first serial sample VAZ-2121 descended from the conveyor of VAZ 5 April 1977. Shortly after the start of the conveyor production plan for four-wheel drive vehicle is increased from 25 000 vehicles per year up to 50 000 cars, and the next is up to 70 000 units. And soon, about 80 % of cars produced were exported («Niva» was the only Soviet car, which was sold in Japan).
The world recognition and export
Most of the 70-ies of XX century car type 4×4 equipped with a rigidly connected full drive (permanent all-wheel drive was used at that time only on the Range Rover), side of the chassis, dependent suspension, streamlined body with Spartan interior(in addition same Range Rover, Jeep Wrangler and a tented horse riding, as well as низкооборотными gasoline or diesel engines. Therefore, SUV with a permanent all-wheel drive, and a large number of innovative (world level) solutions like independent front suspension, private comfortable all-metal monocoque construction, in combination with a low (by international standards) price caused a great sensation, and, subsequently, a lot of imitations.
In 1978 VAZ-2121 was awarded the gold medal and was recognized as the best car of its class at the international exhibition in Brno[3]. In 1979, the «Field» was awarded the State quality mark of the USSR[3]. In October 1980 the car has received the gold medal of the Poznan international fair.
«Niva» (from 2006 LADA 4x4) was and remains one of the leaders in the export of AVTOVAZ. Two of the first special version of the «Niva» were export: VAZ-21211 from 1.3-liter engine (for countries with expensive fuel and high taxes on engine size) and VAZ-21212 with the right wheel. Pravorulnaya version of «Niva» enjoyed a very good demand in the UK and even acted in small quantities in Japan. In a number of mountain roads of Austria in the 1980s, the «Niva» was up to 99 % of the Park SUVs.
Since the late 1990s the export is made in small batches modification of VAZ-21215 with a diesel engine of Peugeot. The export potential of gasoline «Niva» has been preserved in the countries of the far abroad at the present time. In 2003-2007, the plant successfully adapted LADA 4x4 under the standards of Euro 3 and 4. A number of foreign aftermarket companies created on the basis of a «Niva» version with bodies of a cabriolet and a pickup truck, as well as sports and racing and tuning options.
More than three decades of 1.8 million made by the «NIV» for export to more than 100 countries of the world were sent more than 500 thousand people. Every year about 15 thousand Nivas exported to the countries of Latin America, Africa, Middle East, Eastern and Western Europe, including Germany, France, Italy, England, Spain, the Benelux countries and Greece. In these countries, as well as in Japan, despite the fact that the SUV is no longer in the Country of the rising of the sun, and to this day there are clubs of fans of the «Niva». There are «Niva» and in Australia and Canada.Today «Niva» from the supplied AVTOVAZ Assembly sets collected in Ust-Kamenogorsk, Kazakhstan (firm «Asia-Auto») and the Ukraine (plant «LUAZ» company «Bogdan»). Pre-Assembly «Niva» of SKD kits were produced in Greece and in Ecuador, where only in 2001 were collected almost two and a half thousand cars.
Description of design
VAZ-2121 completely original, purely's design, entirely developed by the plant engineers. Born a car in those distant years, as they say, in one breath. In 1972, the first two «crocodile» quickly proved their right to a worthy place under the sun.
Already in the next year the car purchased metal roof, and your own, soon became famous, the name of the «Niva». It advanced so rapidly, that in January 1974, the car was presented at the state tests. And in the red-hot Sands of Turkmenistan, and in a cloud high Pamir (with a height of passes of up to 4600 m) the car was at home.
Compact SUV VAZ-2121 «Niva» with the monocoque body is rightfully considered to be the most original and successful development of the domestic automotive industry. In April 1977, the «Niva» has made on the world market of real sensation unique for its time, the combination of passenger comfort and high flotation at more than competitive price (true, only for the borders of the USSR). «Niva» had practically no analogues in the practice of the global automotive industry. In 1980 the car "VAZ-2121? awarded the gold medal of the 53rd International fair in Poznan.
The body is all-metal, suspension, - door, equipped with safety belts. Front seats with head restraints, are regulated by the length and the tilt of the seat, recline the front. The rear is to increase the Luggage compartment. By order of the car is equipped with rear window with электрообогревном, wiper and washer, rear window.
Another feature of this unique machine was the use of units of passenger cars. So, its engine was created on the basis of the 2106, gearbox and rear axle also borrowed from this machine. Despite this, the "Niva" has a unique for this car traffic.
Transmission with permanent all-wheel drive, mechanical four-speed gearbox (starting with 21213 - five), a two-stage transfer box and locking centre differential. The geometric parameters of the patency of a good by a large enough ground clearance (220 mm), small eaves of the body (the angle of entry 32 degrees, the Congress - 37 degrees) and a comparatively short of 2.2-metre wheelbase. The first model of VAZ-2121 installed engine VAZ-2121, created on the basis of engine VAZ-2106, in-line four-cylinder carburetor, the volume of 1580 cm3. Power of 75 HP at 5400 rpm, maximum torque of 116 nm at 3400 rpm. On рестайлинговую modification of VAZ-21213 set carburetor engine VAZ-21213 with increased to 1690 cm3 displacement, with a capacity of 80,8 HP at 5200 rpm and a maximum torque of 125,3 nm at 3,000 rpm.
One of the features of a «Niva» was using in its design of large-scale units of the model range of the vases. So, on the model of VAZ-2106 used 1.6-litre engine with a chain drive the timing, the gearbox and the rear axle (in the first «Fields» in the gear bridges were used by the main transmission of VAZ-2101 with the ratio of 4.3). Nevertheless, the «Niva» immediately demonstrated a unique for its class traction.
No other Russian passenger car and close not had such success in the international arena. In avtoexport came applications from the most different corners of the globe. Appeared and two special export version: VAZ-21211 with a 1.3-liter engine (for countries with expensive fuel and high taxes on engine size) and VAZ-21212 with the right wheel. The latter, incidentally, is a very good demand in England. Rapidly growing export volumes. In the late 1980s and the early 1990s, he sometimes exceed 50% of the issue. In all the years of production of the half-odd million cars produced for export sent more than 500 thousand to more than 100 countries.
"Niva" - - terrain vehicle with a permanent неотключаемым drive all-wheel (from SUVs to a "Niva" this was only the "Range Rover"), with a centre differential lock and transfer gear with a decreasing number. The power unit was taken from mass model of «Zhiguli» VAZ-2106, and the «handouts» was connected to the transmission intermediate propeller shaft.
Many foreign tuning firm offered for a «Niva» successful kits plastic обвески and other types of finishing, for example, is not an excess, additional sound insulation. Some had made on its basis, even pickup trucks. By the way, with the 90-ies of the «Niva» - one of the favorite objects for the Russian aftermarket shops. The design of VAZ-2121 was maximally unified with the «Жигулями» (power package and many of the elements of the interior - with the model VAZ-2106), but it was not entirely justified, especially in respect of the individual transfer case combined with a standard «royalties» KP short driveshaft. In the absence of a mutual balance of these units, transmission awful noise. This site became the «Achilles ' heel» of the model.
In the 90s, with the termination of the deficit of a number of parts, «Niva» has become the most accessible domestic SUV. The plant an opportunity to create on the basis of a «Niva» of different modifications required by the market, and also to engage in the modernization of the basic model.So, in 1993 there appeared a transitional version of VAZ-21219 with the old body, and more powerful and тяговитым 1,7-liter карбюраторным engine «21213» equipped with the contactless ignition system. CP equipped improve the 5-th transfer (however, not all of the machine its installed), transfer the number of major pairs have been changed from 4.3% to 4.1 and of 3.9, which reduced fuel consumption. In addition, between «раздаткой» and the main KP started to install the shaft with ШРУСом from «Oka», which somewhat reduced noise and vibration.
As a result of the modernization of 1993, a new model of the "Taiga", which was assigned the index of "VAZ-21213". This triple passenger-terrain vehicle with a permanent неотключаемым all-wheel drive. With its predecessor "Niwa" these models are similar as sisters-twins. VAZ-21213 received a streamlined body with the third door, up to the bumper (load anything in the Luggage compartment has become much easier) and square lanterns instead of a rectangular from the «six». In the renovated interior a new instrument panel type «2108», and also changed the front seats. It is hard to believe that between these modifications 16 years. During these years the plant has not made almost no changes in the design of 2121.
Another interim version with the old 1.6-litre engine identified as VAZ-21217, and the export version of the Peugeot diesel 1.9 litres - 21215. Even a half-hearted modernization made it possible to «Field of the» successfully live up to the XXI century. But time takes its and modern requirements on passive safety «Niva» satisfies the already difficult, however, an export version of the still managed to bring to the standards of EURO III safety and emissions of harmful substances. By the way, boarding-landing on the folding the entire rear seat is very difficult, and the trunk frankly a little too small for a multi-purpose vehicle.
In the 90-ies on the export of produced version of 21214-36 with the engine, equipped with Central fuel injection and catalytic Converter. Then the motor modernized under the direct injection and began to deliver on a home market (without catalytic Converter).
Togliatti firm DOG «Бронто» since 1995 makes small series on the basis of a «Niva» extended on the basis of the 300 mm инкассаторский armored car VAZ-212182 «Force» and its «civil» version of VAZ-212180 «fora». These models differ comfort and smooth progress of the practically at the same flotation and maneuverability. Even more long (500 mm) пятидверные station wagons and pick-up trucks on the basis of a «Niva» makes OPP «VAZ» and a few small Togliatti firms (see. VAZ 2131).
«Niva» is not designed for constant driving off the road, and when this is not very convenient for the city exploitation because of the high fuel consumption, «heavy» steering wheel (without power) and noisy transmission. However, its competitive price, the relative cheapness of spare parts and easy to repair attract attention even to second-hand instances of the «Niva».
One time the fate of the «Niva» was questioned in connection with the organization of JV «GM-AVTOVAZ» for the production of Chevrolet Niva. Under the agreement with the Americans production of the old model was to end in 2006, but in connection with the revision of the agreement with «AVTOVAZ» now is the opportunity to produce the Lada Niva (so since 2005, officially referred to as the «Niva»). In addition, it CKD kits, since 2003, the supply of the new Assembly plant «ASIA AUTO» in Ust-Kamenogorsk (Kazakhstan), to the Ukrainian «LUAZ» and several Assembly plants in South America.
VAZ-2121-21214 (Lada Niva) - one of the most popular on the domestic market for SUVs, even the new machines virtually no competitors on a parity «price+quality+cross», and moderate used (of up to three years) - all out of competition. All the specific problems of this model are well known repairmen (though not always successfully treated), spare parts are cheap enough and are not less, than for the «Zhiguli». When buying a need to carefully inspect the bodywork and the chassis on a subject of intensive exploitation. If the car is frequently used in the off-road or in a truck, from such a purchase is better to refuse. With other things being equal, it is better to choose a vehicle with a less noisy «раздаткой».
Security
According to the newspaper «auto review» level of passive safety «Niva» VAZ-21213 was extremely low. According to the results of crash-tests according to the rules of the EuroNCAP (more precisely, the only one of its parts, front impact at a speed of 64 km/h.), conducted by a magazine (description of the crash-test is given in # 19, 2002 g.), «Niva» got 0 points from 16 possible for the front strike, becoming the second after VAZ-2107 model of AVTOVAZ, with zero points for safety.
This result is quite logical, because the car was developed more than thirty years ago and has common with «classical» (VAZ 2101 - VAZ 2107) the aggregate base. In practice, this means that the driver of the vehicle involved in the accident at the speed of 64 km/h, be sure to be traumatized.
The possibility to improve without radical revision of the vehicle, including the power circuit of the body, is absent.
One of the problems identified crash-tests, was the problem of deformation of longerons. In the press in 2002-2003 appeared notes that, at AVTOVAZ produced experiments to solve this problem by filling cavities longitudinal foam, with the purpose of improvement of the nature of the deformation of the body (for conformity of the car VAZ-21213 the requirements of the Rules of the R 94 UNECE, that is, the successful passage of frontal crash-test at a speed of 56 km/h). However, the results of crash-tests nowhere has not been, and is evidence that the рестайлинговая Lada 4x4 safer, no.on June 20, 2011 on the testing ground of AVTOVAZ went machine with ABS. The test result was the launch of the series version with ABS and BAS under the 21214-40-021. This version is available from October 1, 2011.
