At the Kazan Expo Truck exhibition, Maxim Sokolov told Motor that the driver’s airbag would return to the legendary all -terrain vehicle in the second half of the year. The head of AvtoVAZ promised that at the first stage, the airbeg would be placed in the sidewall of the driver’s seat, and in the future the airbag will be installed according to the classical scheme – in the center of the steering wheel.

Even before the sanctions, Lada Niva Legend was not equipped with a safety pillow in the steering hub: the factory used a “compromise” solution with a airbeg in the sidewall of a driver’s seat. The pillow operation was supposed to activate the Era-Glonass system. Now AvtoVAZ will go further and still adapting another steering wheel for three-doors: according to preliminary data, this part will be borrowed from Lada Granta.

The prototype Niva Legend with a driver’s safety pillow and the steering wheel from Granta already got into the lens: the solution was tested on the Niva Sport Silk Way prototype. Niva Travel SUVs were returned to airbags in December last year: for one airbag it was required to pay 20 thousand rubles, for two – 38 thousand rubles (without taking into account the difference in equipment).
