Company «GM-AvtoVAZ" held in Yekaterinburg, a long-awaited presentation of the updated Chevrolet NIVA. Assess the achievements of the domestic automotive journalists came from Perm, Tyumen, Omsk, Kurgan and Chelyabinsk. Shark pen suggested break in a new "Chevy-Niva" at the forest-game quest to the mountain wolf. Among the guests was a reporter and site Autochel.ru, who joined the crew of Chelyabinsk, who went to an extreme test drive. Find ten differences since March, when the first updated Chevrolet NIVA descended from the conveyor, motorists wondered what it was touched on the changes. However, before entering it into regions dealers silent. At the presentation of the company in Yekaterinburg «GM-AvtoVAZ" is officially confirmed that only changed the appearance and interior domestic SUV. The changes did not affected the "interior" car. To be honest, tell-date Chevrolet NIVA from the old is not so simple. Italian design studio Bertone, will develop a new style SUV, the aim is to maintain their traditional features of the model. As a result, someone who has never had a "Chevy Niva," met its restyled analog on the road, hardly distinguish it from the former. However, if you put them together, it becomes clear that some modified form of headlights - on the basis of their lower now as if about to drop. Luxury equipment was "fog". On a new front bumper, the grille is emblazoned enlarged sign Chevrolet. The rear bumper got above the horizontal loading area. On the door - new wide moldings. Besides, now Chevrolet NIVA 16-inch alloy wheels. At the wheel arches - decorative side plates. Oh, and to top it all - a new form of mud flaps. In the interior of the cabin, finally, added details, without which the modern car is no longer conceivable. Between the front seats - a niche for small items with cup holders. In the lining of the roof - built ochechnik. Rear-view mirror glued to the windshield, which excludes its vibration. With two ventilation grilles, contributing to extract air from the interior, improved air circulation and reduce misting. But a major breakthrough, and especially proud of three-spoke steering wheel became a developer. According to them, that he will in the future to introduce a Chevrolet NIVA airbags. One can only hope that this future will not be too far away. A nice addition was the fashionable vykidnoy key equipped with a remote control alarm. According to the company «GM-AvtoVAZ" in the updated Chevrolet NIVA made more than 60 engineering changes. All they've done a little nicer domestic SUV, and above all modern, which he severely lacking. In order not to offend anyone, to criticize a new way of Chevrolet NIVA will not, it's not good, after all appearance of the car - a matter of taste. Cope even after the traditional festive blonde presentation pyrotechnic special effects and beautiful women, the crews took their cars. Each car has a map with checkpoints, and a string of brand-new "Neve" on various roads moved into the forest covering the slopes of the mountain wolf. On the way to the first checkpoint the road was quite passable. But the journalist Alex Chelyabinsk, stranded behind the wheel of first drew attention to the strange thing: the machine was no effort had to be constantly slightly peregazovyvat. However, the transfer case that allows you to raise, lower transmission and center differential lock - not useful. The CP was given the assignment: to travel on forest pits and bumps, without spilling the water into a glass filled to the brim, which kept the navigator. Performed without difficulty. Go to the next item on the map, our crew had a chance to take me. Guys in disbelief watching the blonde, that is, I sit behind the wheel and pulls to a mechanical transmission. The machine is heavy, of course, comes to make efforts to keep it in check, but the biggest challenges for women in its management does not. Was especially comfortable when I discovered that the steering column can be dropped lower. Under my administration, we easily slid along the forest potholes. But, when I had to turn around (astray), problems with backing up the hill. The engine sounds and heart-rending published stubbornly gloh. I had to use the transfer case and lower transmission. It went. By the way, as it turned out, and other crews have noticed that the engine in Chevrolet NIVA, in spite of the proud name of "SUV" weak. Heavy vehicles do not have enough torque. Our crew quickly realized that the mountain and forest terrain better than ever to move to lower gears, but here are a few other teams badly burnt clutch. At each checkpoint, which sometimes had to literally wade through the thicket, we expect auto assignment: to travel through the maze with his eyes closed, focusing only on the words of the navigator, to answer questions the inspector DPS, who was on duty on the forest path, and so on. He sat on the stump ... Domestic SUV easily coped with all the bumps, pits and lifts. But, living for my taste, let us down. Our team got the car in complete luxury, but even it leaves much to be desired. It would seem that the combined lining interior - leather and textiles, but the materials are then ... old-fashioned. Plastic torpedo does not hold water. The instrument panel and that from which it was made painfully reminds vazovskie "Lada". While, on the other hand if they need a plush interior, "Cornfield" because the prim young lady do not ride on them? A cross-Chevrolet NIVA is really high. By the way, we have seen in other advantages of the domestic SUV. At some point, losing vigilance, the third member of our crew Vadim smash hit a high stump (yes, forgive us, "North-West Alliance" - the dealer by providing a vehicle for a test drive). After we carefully slipped from him, all three went to look at, what our foolhardiness over to the car. Expect that housing will be broken, however, the metal protection is only slightly mash, leaving him completely unharmed. But the car, which sat behind the wheel of a journalist from Yekaterinburg, was less fortunate. A man who only a month ago, got a driver's license at the next rotation has not coped with balky SUV and crashed into a tree. Now the dealer will have to change a broken headlight and bumper, fender and hood repairs. But organizers of the extreme test drive would not really upset because of the forest road accidents. Damage, for sure, anticipated, because the routes were deliberately chosen challenging participants to be fully felt cross Chevrolet NIVA. Personally, I'm grateful, "Chevy Niva" has for what we got out of the wind break, where we were sent to the organizers. Maria Shramenko
