Duster, Jimny or Lada Niva? We're going to the woods to check! 

New offroad video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vKTaYsHn5i4.html

Nice to see the little red Niva 1600 still kickin' ass and takin' names!! We had a 97 1.7L fuel injected Niva and loved it very much. It broke our hearts when I was transferred to the city and had to move selling our acreage. I would have another one today, but they stopped importing them into Canada in 1997 or 98. Best Car ever for a Canadian Winter, and not a bad hunting truck either. I'll always remember the Lada Niva motto "Always half broke, but never broke down!".

My experience with the Lada Niva in rural Kenya is different from what this video depicts. The Lada Niva I drove was a robust machine and never for once got stuck in the deep soggy mud found in rural Kenya.

Legendara Lada Niva!

The Jimny and the Niva have reduction gears but most importantly off-road tires. The Duster has a really short 1st gear but both it and the Freelander have street tires... no wonder they got stuck quite often. Even so, if you enjoyed yourselves that's good on you!

I understand different cars have different mechanical architecture, but if some have AT/MT tyres and others have road tyres, it's not fair. Tyres give traction.

I owned a Niva for 4 years and it is really a great character! But the Jimny is also a pure offroad car with straight axles and all what is needed to perform well!

It's amazing to see the "prehistoric" Lada Niva is still one of the best if not the best 4x4 cars.

I had the pleasure of working In Kazakhstan for a number of years and we used Niva's for everything. They were comfortable and reliable. It was explained to me that they were deliberately designed to be basic and easy to repair at the side of the road. Most drivers carried common spares such as fan belts, points, plugs, fuel filters (quality of fuel could be bad). If you broke down at the side of the road someone would stop and help you. Because they were such common cars the chances were the next car down the road would be a Niva. People helped each other. The chances were you could patch the car up well enough to limp home with it. Great cars, and great people.

Ребята, от резины зависит 70% вашего успеха на бездорожье. Обзаведитесь хорошей резиной для подобных переключений и будете приятно удивлены.

I´m a fan of LADA NIVA, anyway it´s not fair to copare with duster or LR because this one hasn´t properly tyres.

I've always loved the jimny but there is just something nostalgic about the lada

Pai unai sula si alta'i Prefectura. Cauciucurile fac mare diferenta...dar mi'a facut mare placere sa ascult cum vorbuti voi acolo 😂 Trandafiiiiir de la Moldova te'asi iubi dar nu stiu vorba 🎶 tra la la etc Distractie placuta fratilor!

The Lada accessories are the best...small spanner for the contact points with a cleaning file and feeler gauge on the end...then the 12volt light that almost looks like made from a funnel and plugs in under the bonnet...you can reset your points in the dark in the woods before a bear arrives to eat you...

After watching your videos I love the Lada Niva , simple and does the job .

La LADA NIVA n'a plus rien a prouver depuis belle lurette ! un VRAI 4x4 avec les pneus ad hoc, un moteur increvable si bien entretenu et elle vous emmènera au sommet au propre comme au figuré ^^

I had a dark red Lada Niva about '96. You had to seal the starter motor and the cabin to stop water coming in a round the transmission.

Obrigado pelo review, russos! 🤝👏👍

Soy un fan del Niva tuve dos, un 1600 cc con caja de 4ta como el rojo y otro 1700 cc con caja de 5ta. Muy buenos apara el barro. Asi y todo no se los puede comparar con la Duster y el LR porue ninguno de ellos tiene gomas apropiadas para barro.

I drive a Audi 100 C4 2.6 Station Quattro with Diff lock but if I had to choose between the 3 car's - I would take the Lada. Strong and easy to fix. Thanks for the video.

The Duster the Land Rover and the Jimny has bad tires for mud,but actually a good drive. Niva is always good. :D

Great video! Considering the road tires, Duster did great!

El enllantado juega un papel muy relevante en éste tipo de terreno , poseo un Niva y vivo en una zona de difícil acceso

Driver in white Niva has most off road experience. Respect for your skills. Водитель в белой Ниве больше всех ощущает бездорожье. Уважение к твоим навыкам

Debo de cir que el 1600 me resulto muy bueno, sin embargo al 1700 tuve que cambiarle ambas rotulas en un viaje al Mar Negro en 1995, el jeep tenía 30 mil km.

The Jimny is a beautiful little beast but I also like the Niva

I would choose the Niva no matter what. The coolest car around.

Greeeeeat Video Buddy 💪🏼

Bagati cautiucurile ca lumea frate,si pe urma faceti proba,si inca teva,la noroi nu lasi aceleratorul ci apasi mereu pina sa iesi afara. Bravo ptr efort.

Jimny seems to be like a lot of fun to drive!

This video shows people "playing" with vehicles off-road. I used vehicles off road in the "empty quarter" of the UAE-Oman desert for 5 + years and the Lada Niva was the most useful / reliable vehicle.

Super tare!!

Nice video. Obvious that tires make a huge difference. This is the type of off-roading I like too see. Here in the USA this trail would have built up 4x4's with 30k in aftermarket parts. If you ever want to donate any of these... :).

I owned an '81 and a '96 Niva...very capable but the timing chain tensioner was the weak point on the engine. If it wasn't adjusted right it could cause major problems...I see this one in the video is painted Stalin red, same as my "96.

Niva super 4×4 of road 🇬🇷😍

Top! Thats what i am looking for!

смысл на шоссейной резине в грязь лезть?

11:21, using low-range and dropping tyre pressures may be a good idea.

The Duster works incredible well. der Duster machte sich echt gut, mit Normalen Reifen

Tuve 2 años un UAZ en Cuba, no era mio era estatal, que animal maravilloso

The red NIVA is the best!Niva for ever!

Better tyres & snatch recovery straps needed. Good to see you having fun.

В дизайн " Джимми" просто влюблён!!!

Super

Offroad tires vs onroad tires perhaps ?

High, the real tires are the Mud Terrain ( not All Terrain ) for this track. Kindly Fiete

El Lada Niva y el Jimny muestran buen comportamiento, pero la Duster mucho más complicada. Al Niva le faltan unos neumáticos más ancho. Eso ayuda mucho para el barro.

Excelente bro... saludos desde chile

Молодцы!!! Хорошие у Вас развлекухи)))))

Pena que não tem mais no Brasil 🇧🇷

Джимни хорош конечно, но и Нива хороша

I had an early left hand drive niven years ago in the uk went off reading in it,never ever got stuck or let me down in 2 years as my daily wish I could find another one

I had a dark red Lada Niva about 1996. You had to seal the starter motor and the cabin around the transmission to stop water coming in to the cabin. A nice light car. Bigger 4WDs are the worst for getting bogged.

Great walk. True, Duster would not have interfered with other tires. Niva will always be a legend!

Нива самая лучшая, но я предпочитаю Чучуки

У меня вопрос ,если я врезался в дерево и разбил фару помял крыло и погнул бампер во что мне это обойдется при ремонте и в какие сроки .расчет на все модели отдельно.

This always has to be about knowing the abilities of your vehicle is about...

I like the Duster and Jimny. Lada Niva 4x4 is the best car.

I need a Lada Niva in my life.

No he conducido ninguno de ellos, desafortunadamente Noe he tenido el placer .........pero viendo el video, sin duda alguna, me quedo con el Lada y el Suzuki en ese orden 👍👍👍💪🇪🇸

Show us their tyres!!

Vom Konzept des Geländewagens ist der Niva immer noch das Maß der Dinge. Eine Konstruktion, die 45 Jahre alt ist. Überhänge, Bodenfreiheit, Steigungsfähigkeit und alle anderen Geländewerte sind immer noch top. Wenn man ein geländegängiges, robustes und preiswertes Fahrzeug benötigt, führt kein Weg am Niva vorbei.

ラーダはとても魅力的な車ですね。かわいいデザインが好きです。

Super‼️ 👍😉😀

Interesant.. merge ca si comparatie. :)

Я давно ждал реального применения этой фразы. без ножа режете. Отец ниву взял. на прошлой в стоке многе где побывали.

Niva is life!

super video

Hanno fatto la Lada Niva Bronto del 2021 (il modello classico) è qualcosa di bellissimo 🔥🔥🔥

Niva is a type of car that suits the best for roads covered in swine manure

Love those Lada Nivas, I want one.

I'd go for the Duster anytime. With a 3.5 cm lift and a All Terrain tires. It is good.

What is a bit prohibitive about the niva is that its a 70's soviet design from a safety standpoint. I love it to bits tough.

Здравствуйте, я - китайская публика, а также большой поклонник LADA. Похоже, что Китай еще не представил LADA 2020. Если нужно покупать в России, по каким каналам использовать? Или есть возможность купить новую LADA? Спасибо.

...and DACIA DUSTER used Street tires....niva work with good OFF ROAD tire...that is being big difference...

Una peste alta... o mașinuță interesantă, ieftină, care nu convinge dpdv al fiabilității și protecției la rugină, potrivită unor persoane cu „nevoi speciale” sau entuziaștilor off road. Mulțumesc LN. Poate mă duc la un test drive...

Вот если честно, мне понравилось! Ребята смеются и весело провели покатушки. Атмосфера добрая в ролике! Сузука и Нивы молодцы! А вот Ленд ровер как я и думал - ни о чем!

I like the Niva and the Jimny. Shame they don't sell them in the USA.

If they don't have the same/as similar as possible tyres the test is very flawed. Tyres make or break the deal, traction depends on them.

In schimb asa cum ziceti voi dustractia si voia buna conteaza cel mai mult fain sa vezi aceste masinute in mediul lor unde isi dovedesc intrebuintarea lor cu adevarat

Super Jimny!!!💪🏻🔥❤️

El Niva llevo a pasear al Duster al bosque, lo llevo de la mano buenos tramos.

Si otros no pueden, Niva al rescate. Si Niva no puede, UAZ al rescate.

Salut , castig ceva putere la Niva daca anulez catalizatorul ? Mersi !

And what about Panda 4x4, that could easily bury any other vehicle except Niva perhaps.

Привет земляки ! Я с Рузаевки. Лайк однозначно!

Lada👍

I South Africa. It is the Renault Duster!!! If money was no problem, then the Jimny. But for around, the Lada!!!

Always stay away from the towing cable, if it breaks and hits someone, it may kill him. Всегда держитесь подальше от буксирного троса, если он оборвется и ударит кого-нибудь, это может убить его

Red Niva 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Foarte mult contează omul apoi mașina, adevărul se vede cînd testează același tip de mașină mai mulți oameni, pe același traseu.

Definitivamente el LADA Niva es el mejor... RUSSIA Siempre a Fabricado productos de alta calidad

Barbatilooor , cand comparati masini echipatile cu aceleasi cauciucuri si garda la sol . Totu consta in calitatea gumelor si sa nu dai cu burta de pamant.

Jimny for Value. Land Rover for luxury. Duster for practicality and Lada for cheap maintenance.

Dusterul și Freelander-ul au avut un "mic" dezavantaj, care în offroad-ing contează foarte mult, aveau cauciucuri de stradă, în timp ce Jimny și Ladele aveau cauciucuri specializate, de offroad, deci nu a fost o competiție tocmai corectă, dar da, cu siguranță, toate cele 4 modele (deși nu sunt atât de sigur în privința Freelander-ului) au capacități aproximativ egale :D

there is a legend called lada niva 🤗👏🏻

Da li mineko može reći sledeće: kada se koristi zaključavanje diferencijala...da li se može koristiti uz brdo i niz brdo...?!

Lightweight + proper gearing gets the job done.

Jimny definitely looks the best, but it's practically a 2 seater.

which count ?
