Niva SUV will be produced under the brand LADA since 2020

Chevrolet Niva SUV, which is produced at GM-AVTOVAZ, will be integrated into the LADA lineup in 2020. This was announced by the Executive Vice President of AvtoVAZ Sales and Marketing, Olivier Morne, by adding that currently further price positioning of this model is being discussed.

As AUTOSTAT previously reported, in December of the previous year, AvtoVAZ signed an agreement with General Motors to redeem a 50% stake of Togliatti joint venture GM-AvtoVAZ from an American company. In the future, GM-AvtoVAZ will be renamed; the parties did not disclose the financial details of the transaction. As President and CEO of AvtoVAZ, Yves Karakatzanis noted, under the agreement, AvtoVAZ will receive the second classic SUV in the line of cars. The Niva offer will complement organically the legendary 4x4 and support the further development of AvtoVAZ. Recall that in December of 2018, GM-AvtoVAZ received a new Type approval for the Chevrolet Niva model, which is valid until December 2021 with the possibility of renewal.
