I heard that Ladas are not popular among Russian drivers today, but I saw a lot of Ladas on the roads in the video. Are there any parts that the new Lada is compatible with or shares with the old zhiguli and samara? I wonder if there is any technological connection in their powertrains.
From Samara there is a whole base and the engine is upgraded. And so the suspension, brakes, box are also from Samara. There is nothing from the Lada, maybe a couple of little things. Lada is still very popular, especially after the departure of cheap cars from Korea and Europe
@@MaximZ95 thank you. Although the zhiguli is a car from the 70s, it is similar in size to the Granta and was produced until 2012, so I expected some connection. I love finding old parts on new cars. This is because car companies tend to use old powertrains in new bodies to save development costs. People say Lada is shit but the low price is well worth buying. Great for commuting and city driving! (It's sad that Russian officials banned the import of Japanese cars.)
@@Snufkin812 Yes there is such a thing. We now have a lot of elements on the Niva that have been on it since the 70s, so there will be many more of the same spare parts on the old Lada. Well, the Japanese may be offensive to people from the east of Russia, they mostly drove them, and Ladas are not sold there much. So this doesn’t bother me much in Moscow)
@@MaximZ95 It is true that eastern Russian drivers have bad manners and are aggressive... They have been driving Japanese cars since the 1980s! Certainly, in the East, Lada was barely visible. (Perhaps because it is too far from the factory?)
@@Snufkin812 Well, I don’t know about driving, I haven’t been to the east, and why not on the Lada, it’s just that Japanese cars are cheaper, the equipment and quality are higher, that’s why they buy them. At the same time, they arrive from Japan clean, not killed, almost like new
