WIKING pays homage to a venerable modern classic and its unparalleled history: The Lada Niva broke new ground in Germany as the first affordable all-wheel drive SUV – long before anybody knew what an SUV was. Although the owners of the original model once complained about the all too rapid sensitivity to rust, there were still countless fans of the Russian off-road vehicle. Particularly noteworthy: At that time in the real world, almost no other SUV offered the same affordability as the Niva. Drivers in agriculture and forestry came to appreciate this all-wheel Lada as a daredevil that gets the job done – rugged and capable of taking a beating. WIKING presents the 87-fold miniaturisation based on the prototype of the late 1990s and this time equips the off-road vehicle in the basic version with steel rims. The body comes with three doors and the short wheel base it typically had. The traditional model makers managed to incorporate fine engravings on the bonnet, the door and the drip rail and refined it further with indicators and door handles as well as with a petrol cap and vent slots. And no model of the original would be complete without the striking and attention-drawing hinges on the tailgate. Transparent front headlamp are inserted, as is the radiator grille. Inside, the two front seats are fitted with discreet headrests; likewise the full-length rear seat. Naturally, the dashboard shows off the quintessential angular Niva speedometer, while the vehicle’s steering wheel is inserted.
