Lada Niva Sport with rust and a hole in the gearbox was presented at the exhibition in the Russian Federation (video)

When the film crew of the resource looked under the body, they saw that rust covered the bolts and drives, they noticed a hole in the gearbox, and a puddle of oil under the car. But that's not all. The doors of the SUV closed crookedly and required considerable effort. Anti-corrosion treatment, according to representatives, is offered only for an additional fee.

Such defects, experts say, usually appear after long-term operation in aggressive conditions, so their appearance on a new copy caused a stormy reaction from users on social networks. Commentators suggest that the car could have been brought from an open storage area or even after test loads, which the company, of course, does not confirm. When journalists tried to get a comment, the representative of the brand, seeing the camera, quickly left the site and did not approach the SUV again.

Meanwhile, the new brainchild of the Russian auto industry has already become a meme in social networks. Last year it was reported that the Lada Niva Sport is very labor-intensive in the production process and will be produced in limited quantities, about 2-3 cars per day (40-60 cars per month).

Taking into account the fact that there are about 320 Lada dealers in Russia, not every one of them will receive a new model in a month, and the price of an artificially produced car will be much higher than during assembly. RosZMI boasted that the Americans were supposedly fascinated by the new car. It will be recalled that the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, presented the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, with a car "Aurus" of the executive class.
