Lada – other models: the collective page of utility versions of the 1200/1500, 2104, Samara and Niva, four-cylinder engines from 1.29 to 1.69 litres, 60 to 61 kW, 1.36 to 1.96 tonnes gross vehicle weight
This page gathers Lada models that the register could not assign to a named range, from the Soviet maker AvtoVAZ based in Tolyatti. The 1200 and 1500 designations refer to the first Lada generation based on the Fiat 124 (factory codes VAZ-2101/2103), with the engine size stated in the name, and "2104 Bestel" is the estate version of this range carrying the Dutch commercial-vehicle designation "Bestel" (van). Samara denotes the compact class built from the mid-1980s, the first with front-wheel drive (VAZ-2108/2109), here as estate and van versions; Niva and the "4X4" suffix denote the compact off-roader introduced in 1977 with permanent four-wheel drive.

The register lists 13 versions here with 60 to 61 kW from four-cylinder engines of 1,294 to 1,690 cm³, unladen weights from 942 to 1,320 kg, gross vehicle weights from 1,355 to 1,960 kg, lengths from 3,720 to 4,440 mm and widths from 1,610 to 1,680 mm.
Lada vehicles were the best-selling cars of the Soviet Union and later the Russian Federation for decades, and in Eastern Europe were also valued as affordable commercial vehicles for trades and small business; the Niva is still regarded as one of the most durable and cheapest genuine off-roaders on the market.
When buying used, check corrosion on the wheel arches and floor pan on the older 1200/1500 and 2104 models, the condition of the front driveshafts on Samara versions, and the transfer case and propshafts of the 4x4 system on the Niva; spare parts are comparatively easy to find thanks to AvtoVAZ's ongoing production and the Eastern European parts trade.
