AVTOVAZ will present for hockey fans a special version of the LADA Niva Travel SUV, decorated with KHL symbols and equipped with a number of special accessories. Details of the series and launch dates will be announced later, according to the press service of the automaker. It is worth noting that a new special series of the LADA Niva Travel SUV was announced as a part of the partnership between AVTOVAZ and the Kontinental Hockey League, which they concluded for the 2022/2023 season. As a part of cooperation with the largest hockey league in Europe, LADA logos will appear on hockey arenas hosting KHL regular season and playoff matches.
