A new SUV based on Lada Niva units will be created in Russia

Bryansk company BN-Motors is developing a utilitarian SUV BNM Model 4x4. This was reported on February 27 by the Avtotok Telegram channel.

According to the information received by the channel, the car is built on Lada Niva units, but judging by the videos published by Autoproadcast, the drive is carried out only on the rear axle.

It is intended "for those who do not need to travel on public roads," including for tourist trips, hunting, fishing, and transportation of repair and construction crews.

For the BNM 4x4 Model, they plan to get an OTTS without the right to drive on regular roads. The utilitarian design of the primitive body resembles a military "Willis".

It is expected that the car with the new units will cost about 1.3 million rubles. If you use a used engine, gearbox and suspension axles, then its price will drop, as promised, below one million rubles. Small-scale production will begin after certification is completed, closer to the summer.

On February 20, AvtoVAZ announced the preparation of the next batch of 50 production and special vehicles for transfer to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Among the transferred vehicles are Lada Niva Travel, Largus and Niva Legend, as well as specially modified and modified pickups based on it at the request of the military, the manufacturer noted. The company showed green "Niva" with modified head optics and special equipment on the roof.
