I already had experience using a sleeping bag in a car. And therefore, it was decided, as part of the preparation program for the trip to the Urals, to make a similar easily removable structure for the car. Since I am the heaviest in the family (as much as 68 kg), 10 mm plywood was used. For those who have a heavier mass, the recommendation is to use plywood from 15 mm.
The sleeping bag is an almost double bed measuring 174x110 cm
And it has the following design: A shelf on independent legs is installed in the trunk at a height of approximately 30 cm. It has no attachment to the body. It's just right there. If desired, it can be removed from the trunk in a minute (removal time depends on the number of clothes in the trunk). Has two hatches for access to the side niches:
So let's say the “removable extension” consists of three parts. Two panels and a leg folding on piano hinges. The panels have the following dimensions: 62x110 cm and 61x110 cm. When unfolded, they rest on one side on the legs of the trunk shelf, in the center on a folding leg, in the front part on the backs of the folded seats.
When folded, it is fixed between the back of the rear seat and the stops on the sides of the trunk.
Of course it completely blocks the view in the central mirror.
The end result is this beauty:
Manufacturing time: One day for sawing, assembly and fitting, and two evenings for fitting.
Price: Plywood - 900 rubles Two piano hinges - 200 rubles Carpet (only the one I bought) - 180 rubles Hook - 100 rubles.
Issue price: 1,380 ₽ Mileage: 133,000 km
Chevrolet Niva dimensions, dimensions, volumes, Chevrolet NIVA 4x4 ground clearance, trunk
The dimensions of the Chevrolet Niva classify this 5-door crossover as a very compact car. In fact, the length of the Chevrolet NIVA does not exceed 4 meters.
However, such compact dimensions, combined with high ground clearance, which is more than 20 centimeters, and small overhangs, make the small crossover ready for any off-road obstacles. In the photo at the beginning of the article you can see all the main linear dimensions of the Chevy Niva. I would like to immediately note that the official dimensions given by the manufacturer and actual measurements may give different results.
Let's say the clearance or ground clearance of a Chevrolet Niva can vary from 20 to 24 centimeters. The difference depends on where you measure. For example, the lowest point in the Chevrolet NIVA is in the rear, under the bridge. You can measure the ground clearance of the Shnivy under the engine protection in the front. In addition, the manufacturer itself allows the installation of both 15 and 16-inch wheels on the car; add off-road high-profile tires to them and the ground clearance will be even higher.
Below are more detailed characteristics of the dimensions of the Chevy Niva.
- Length – 3919 mm (with spare wheel 4056 mm)
- Width – 1,800 mm (with mirrors 2120 mm)
- Height with/without rails – 1690/1652 mm
- Curb weight – 1410 kg
- Gross weight – 1860 kg
- Wheelbase – 2450 mm
- Front and rear wheel track – 1466/1456 mm, respectively
- Trunk volume – 320 liters
- Trunk volume with seats folded – 650 liters
- Fuel tank volume – 58 liters
- Ground clearance of Chevy Niva – 220 mm
- Tire size – 205/75 R15 or 205/70 R15 or 215/65 R16
As for capacity, five adult men in the Chevrolet NIVA, to be honest, will be cramped. The wheelbase, which determines the spaciousness in the cabin, is only 2450 mm. Therefore, traveling long distances in a large group may not be enjoyable.
The trunk of the Chevrolet Niva is relatively small, only 320 liters. However, if you fold the seats in the Shnivo, you get 650 liters of volume. A photo of the trunk with the rear seats folded is attached, see above.
The problem of lack of space is solved by roof rails, where you can install an additional luggage rack. But it is worth considering the fact that in the basic version the Chevy Niva simply does not have roof rails. Therefore, before buying a car, you should consider whether you need an additional roof rack.
myautoblog.net
Features of luggage compartments
To summarize, let’s say that the Niva’s trunk is really small in volume – less than 400 liters. But due to the space freed up after the rear seats are removed, it becomes more spacious. Railings became a bonus for some models. You can finish the conversation about the features of the Chevy trunk with a simple comparison with the Granta liftback.
With a volume of 440 liters in the Granta's trunk, its capacity, as practice shows, is significantly lower due to the peculiarities of the geometry of the space. The square trunk of the Niva turns out to be much more rational to use than the Grant one, which is more voluminous in terms of technical characteristics, but is “cut off” by the inclined glass of the door.
The car does not have a truly spacious trunk. Therefore, before purchasing, you should decide how important this criterion is for you, and choose a car model based on this.
The car is still produced today. During this time, its image, starting in 2002, when the presentation of the production version took place, has not changed much. A minor restyling was carried out only in 2009. And then it was a so-called facelift, i.e. the manufacturer slightly changed the appearance of the Niva - to integrate with the general style of Chevrolet cars.
After restyling, the car received slightly modified bumpers at the front and rear, and new head-lensed optics (for low beam). The rear lampshades have changed slightly, and decorative trims have appeared on the body. Of course, it is impossible to say that the Chevrolet Niva has changed significantly, but the exterior has become more practical and attractive.
Externally, the Chevrolet Niva has compact dimensions with correct body proportions. One of the main advantages of the car is its high ground clearance, which improves off-road performance.
The overall dimensions of the Chevrolet Niva are as follows:
- length is 3.919 m, not including the spare wheel at the stern;
- The width of the SUV is 1.8 m, and including the rear-view mirrors, the width increases to 212 cm;
- wheelbase 245 cm, front overhang 721 mm, rear overhang 748 mm;
- Shnivy height 1650 mm;
- car weight is 1410 kg;
- Ground clearance at full load is 20 cm under the rear axle gearbox, without load, ground clearance is 24 cm.
- Fuel tank capacity is 50 liters.
At the front, the car received a different grille, which is now integrated with the front bumper. Thus, the problem with a large gap between the bumper and the grille, which was on the version before the facelift, was solved. Other air intakes were also installed on the radiator grille. The front bumper also received changes. The holes for installing fog lights became round instead of rectangular, and a protective cover appeared in the central part.
Black plastic linings began to be installed on the wheel arches. The decorative moldings on the doors have expanded. The body pillars are painted black. Changes have also been made to such small details as turn signal repeaters: they now take the shape of a wedge.
The rear has also undergone minor changes. The headlights received a block of direction indicators and reverse alerts in a round rather than rectangular shape. The bumper has been modified and has special ventilation grilles equipped with check valves. The loading area on the bumper has increased, albeit slightly.
Niva Chevrolet overall dimensions
The overall dimensions of the Chevrolet Niva SUV are considered quite compact, and its length is no more than four meters. But despite this, thanks to its high ground clearance, which is more than twenty centimeters, it is ready for any obstacles associated with difficult to pass places. The picture below shows all the characteristics, but I would like to note that they may differ slightly from the sizes indicated by official manufacturers, since in fact they are different. For example, clearance can be indicated from 20-24 cm, since it depends on where the measurement is made. It is measured at the lowest point and is located in the rear of the car, and usually under the bridge, but they can indicate the distance from the engine protection to the ground and therefore the readings will be different. The SUV also comes from the factory with 15 and 16 inch wheels, which also affects what the ground clearance will be.
Dimensions and technical characteristics of the vehicle
Dimensions are determined by three main dimensions: length, width and height of the body. Length is measured from the front bumper to the rear bumper. The width is measured where the widest place is, and as a rule these are the wheel arches, as well as along the central pillars of the body, the height is measured from the roof to the ground, and if there are roof rails, then the measurement is made with them.
The interior is no larger in size and if, for example, five adult men go on a trip, it will be uncomfortable. The wheelbase, which plays a decisive role in the spaciousness of the cabin, is 2450 millimeters. Therefore, if you decide to ride it long distances with a larger group, this may cause you great inconvenience.
As for the trunk of the Chevrolet Niva, it is small and its size is 320 liters, but if you fold the rear row of seats, it increases to 650 liters. The problem with the lack of space for luggage can be solved by installing roof rails and placing an additional box on them. The factory equipment does not include roof rails, so when purchasing this SUV you need to immediately decide whether you need them or not.
Conclusion
To summarize, we can conclude that this is a compact car, which can rightfully be classified as an SUV, which meets all modern requirements, and is ideal for:
- Residents of villages and towns where there are no good roads
- Who loves extreme holidays
- Also for people involved in construction and agriculture who tour their sites
Despite its compactness, this car is a universal compact all-wheel drive SUV with increased cross-country ability, which has a durable supporting structure and reliable components and assemblies.

Niva Chevrolet trunk volume
Chevrolet Niva belongs to the class of compact crossovers. The length of this 5-door car is just under 4 meters, making it convenient to use not only off-road, but also in urban conditions, allowing you to successfully maneuver in traffic flows.
But compactness in this case is successfully complemented by high ground clearance, amounting to as much as 20 centimeters at the lowest point. And the body kit system with small angles allows you to overcome any obstacles and forever forget about the problem of parking near curbs.
In more detail, you can familiarize yourself with the technical characteristics of the car in the diagram presented in the figure. These are the official dimensions determined by the manufacturer. It should be understood that in reality some parameters may differ. For example, ground clearance: under load or certain suspension parameters, it can vary from 20 to 24 centimeters. The lowest point is located near the car in the area of the rear axle. The diameter of the wheels installed on the car is also of great importance. And installing high-profile tires can immediately add a few more centimeters. The level of ground clearance can also be affected by the installed engine protection.
Official data on the size of the Chevrolet Niva car is as follows:
- Length 3919 mm. Together with the installed spare wheel, the length is 4056mm.
- Car width with mirrors 2120mm, body width 1800mm
- Height without rails 1690, with installed – 1800mm
- Vehicle weight – 1410 kg
- Gross weight at maximum load, including driver and passengers – 1860 kg
- Distance between front and rear axle (wheelbase) 2450mm
- Front wheel track 1466, rear 1456 mm
- Luggage compartment volume 320 l
- Volume with seats folded 650 l
- Fuel tank capacity 58l
- Ground clearance – 220mm,
- Recommended tires 205/75 R15, 215/62 R16
The vehicle's capacity can accommodate four adult men, but there may not be enough space. This is mainly determined by the wheelbase, which is only 245cm. This can also affect the comfort of the trip. The car turned out to be a little short, so it might feel a little rough when driving. But, this car model is not intended for long-distance travel, but for off-road driving, where a small wheelbase is more likely to be an advantage.
In the Niva Chevrolet, the trunk volume is 320 liters. But folded seats, forming a long, flat floor, allow you to increase the volume to 650 liters. Also, the lack of space in the trunk can be solved by installing roof rails for the use of additional trunk space.

UAZ or Niva: differences in suspension design
The UAZ Hunter has a dependent leaf spring suspension, which is distinguished by its reliability when driving on mud and stones, but on the other hand, there is a complete lack of comfort. That is why this car is called the “goat”.
Compared to the Hunter, the ride on the Niva is softer, since the suspension here is different: independent in the front and dependent in the rear. In addition, the Niva also has power steering, ABS brakes and emergency brake assist.
The interior has a fabric interior and power accessories have been added to the front doors, but otherwise the car remains the same as it was 20 years ago. Among the options is only a cigarette lighter, and what else is needed for a comfortable ride on the harsh Russian off-road.
As for the UAZ Hunter, its finishing is even more modest, but there is an opportunity to make tuning based on your taste preferences. Typically, Hunter owners purchase a winch, a protective bumper or a guardrail, and also install an additional trunk or gas tank. Since this is an off-road vehicle, it is usually made as functional as possible for off-road driving.
Technical characteristics of Chevrolet Niva
For residents of the Russian outback, you probably won’t find a better car than the Chevrolet Niva. Of course, there is such a legendary car as the Lada 4×4, but unlike the Niva 212300, it does not have such comfort and convenience while driving, so this car is the best on the Russian market.
History of appearance
This SUV first appeared back in 2002, although this could have happened even earlier, since AvtoVAZ back in 1998 prepared a project according to which the VAZ-2123 was supposed to replace the outdated Niva 2121. But since there was no money for mass production of the new product its license was sold to the foreign concern General Motor, after which a year later more than a thousand changes were made and in 2002 the first generation cars were released.
This Chevrolet Niva SUV was restyled in 2009, thanks to which it received a more modern look and began to look more like Chevrolet’s corporate style. Of course, it’s difficult to call this SUV a standard of beauty, although overall this car looks quite decent, practical and recognizable. Despite the fact that the car is compact, it has a high ground clearance, which increases its off-road properties, as well as the presence of a well-balanced body proportion.
Of course, the interior of this car is not entirely spacious, this is especially felt when you sit in the back row, where there is very little space in the legs. However, for the driver there is a very ergonomic space, where the center console is located at a convenient angle, and thanks to the larger expanse of glass, it has excellent visibility and a comfortable seating position, this is especially felt in the Chevrolet Niva released at the beginning of 2014. Thanks to the fact that the SUV has modern seats with a new headrest and little lateral support.
Significant advantages of this car include the trunk, the size of which is 320 liters, and if you fold the rear seats of the second row it will reach 650 liters. Due to the fact that there is no threshold in the trunk and a wide doorway, loading and unloading luggage occurs without any difficulties.
Technical characteristics of the Chevrolet Niva:
At the moment, one power plant option is proposed. It is a conventional naturally aspirated gasoline engine with four cylinders with a total volume of 1.7 liters with a sixteen-valve timing belt and a five-speed manual transmission. Thus, the car fits into all Euro standards. Gasoline consumption in the city is approximately fourteen liters, on the highway - eight and a half, in the combined cycle - about ten.
It is worth adding that in the period from 2006 to 2008 there was a modification that was equipped with a 1.8 liter engine with 122 horsepower.
The basis of the Chevrolet Niva is a monocoque body with an independent front spring, an independent five-rod rear spring and a suspension with double wishbones. A disc brake is located on the front axle of the SUV, and conventional drum brakes on the rear axle. The brake system is complemented by a vacuum booster, and newer ones already have an ABS system. The rack and pinion steering mechanism works in conjunction with the power steering. All modifications are equipped with permanent all-wheel drive, with a two-speed transfer case based on a center locking differential. High ground clearance and compact dimensions, coupled with all-wheel drive, provide excellent maneuverability, as well as excellent stability on corners and slippery roads.
Key Features:
- This model uses 30 teeth on the sprocket in the oil pump, while the old one uses 38.
- The front suspension is independent with a pair of transverse wishbones on both sides. But the rear suspension is already dependent. This suspension is distinguished by its high long-travel and energy intensity, it is perfectly balanced, but due to the greater mass of the car, it fails more often than its predecessor.
- Particular attention is paid to step bearings, which must be lubricated every thirty thousand kilometers, and their tightening levels must be monitored. Since when the bearings fail, there is no characteristic hum, so in addition to replacing them, you may have to change the hubs themselves, as they begin to be eaten.
Description of design advantages:
- The presence of rubber-plastic moldings on the lower parts of the doors, thereby protecting the body from gravel or branches from under the wheels.
- Thanks to the enlarged radiator grille, air flow into the engine compartment increases.
- Modified head optics form an even light beam.
Chevrolet Niva technical characteristics and shortcomings in the interior:
- Lack of simultaneous windshield and foot blowing.
- The side mirror control unit is inconveniently located.
- A high niche for small items makes it difficult to access the handles that adjust the tilt of the chair back.
- In the restyled version, due to the volumetric protrusion on the ceiling, the noise level in the cabin has increased; due to the resonator, during rain, and also at speeds of fifty to seventy kilometers per hour, there is strong vibration, which is caused by the operation of the driveshaft.
expertniva.ru
Where to look for the body number
When registering a Niva with the traffic police, the problem is finding the factory markings. The body number is located in the engine compartment:
- Open the hood of the car.
- On the front mount of the load-bearing support, find a special plate with information about the car.
- Next to this plate you will find the VIN number.
- The marking is duplicated under the floor lining in the trunk.
Technical characteristics of Chevrolet Niva - 1.7 engine, fuel consumption, body dimensions
The compact SUV Chevrolet Niva has been produced since 2002 at the facilities of the GM-AVTOVAZ joint venture in the city of Tolyatti. Throughout its existence, the car has remained virtually unchanged from a technical point of view. The model is based on the VAZ-2123 platform, which assumes the presence of an independent 2-link suspension at the front and a continuous axle at the rear.
Chevrolet Niva is a real SUV with “honest” all-wheel drive, which is implemented using a transfer case that distributes torque between the front and rear axles in a 50/50 ratio. A lowering row, an interaxle locking mechanism and good body geometry significantly increase the vehicle’s capabilities in off-road conditions. The car feels no less comfortable in a dense urban environment, where the compact dimensions of the body are a plus - 4048x1770x1652 mm.
Engine Chevrolet Niva 1.7 VAZ-2123
A 1.7-liter VAZ-2123 engine has been installed under the hood of the car since the start of production. The unit is a variation of the VAZ-21214 engine, adapted specifically for the Chevrolet Niva. The engine is equipped with a cylinder block made of high-strength cast iron, a timing belt with an overhead camshaft and a chain drive (single-row chain with tensioner), a distributed injection system, a valve mechanism with hydraulic compensators (adjustment of valve clearances is not required). The cylinder diameter is 82 mm, the piston stroke is 80 mm, the compression ratio is 9.3. The maximum output power of the engine does not exceed 80 hp, peak torque is 127.5 Nm (at 4000 rpm).
The VAZ engine of the Chevrolet Niva is not highly reliable. Its disadvantages include high levels of noise and vibration, high fuel consumption, a tendency to burn oil, and a short service life (in practice, no more than 150-200 thousand km). It was possible to increase the efficiency of the power unit through modernization carried out in 2015. As a result of the update, not only the fuel appetite decreased (by 2-4%), but also the amount of harmful emissions was reduced. This allowed the VAZ-2123 engine to comply with Euro-5 standards. The average fuel consumption of the Chevrolet Niva 1.7 is now 10.2 liters per 100 km (in the city - 13.2 liters, on the highway - 8.4 liters).

Modification of Chevrolet Niva 1.8 122 hp.
It is interesting that in the period 2006-2008, along with the VAZ engine, the Chevy Niva was equipped with a 1.8-liter Z18XE unit from Opel. It had more attractive technical parameters - power 122 hp. and torque 167 Nm. Paired with the 1.8 engine was the same 5-speed manual transmission. This version was not in great demand due to its high price, so it was subsequently withdrawn from the market.
