Lada Niva AMC HardCross vehicles are very popular thanks to their off-road capabilities and above-standard equipment already in the basic grade. Their price is also very advantageous. Our customer needed a compact vehicle with 5 seats and a large luggage compartment; therefore we selected classical Lada Niva with 5 doors in LUX grade that is additionally equipped with electrically-operated side windows and alloy wheels. The HardCross modification included reinforced rear axle, all springs and shock absorbers. By this was the vehicle ground clearance increased. The wings were widened and M/T tyres 235/75 LT 4x4 were mounted on alloy wheels. Both differentials were exchanged for self-locking ones. The chassis and body cavities were protected by anti-corrosion paint.
