See that seemingly rugged SUV lurking in the shadows? It’s a concept for the new Chevrolet Niva and it will have its world premiere at this month’s Moscow Auto Show.
GM says the study gives us an early look at the second generation of the Chevrolet Niva for the local market, which it expects to release in 2016.
The current, first iteration Chevrolet Niva is made by GM-AvtoVAZ, a joint venture in Russia between General Motors and AvtoVAZ, and is based on the underpinnings and mechanical hardware of the classic Lada Niva.
The new model will be a more modern proposal, according to GM-Autovaz general director Jeffrey Glover, who said:
“The design of the new car will be much closer to our new line of Chevrolet models. At the same time, the concept’s tougher appearance and characteristics suggest that it will continue to be a real NIVA”.
