Lada vehicles are built to be tough, even though they might not look like it. Both the venerable Niva off-roader and the Fiat 124-based Lada 2101 (and later variants) were conceived in the 1970s and went on to be built well after the 2010s with little to no upgrades or modifications throughout the years.
In fact, the Niva is still being built today and currently holds the record for the longest-running off-roader still being manufactured in its original form.
