Chevrolet Niva patent photo leaked

It was the summer of 2014 when General Motors unveiled the Niva concept at the Moscow Motor Show, previewing the next-generation model. Now, more than a year later, we have the first fully revealing images, showing the production vehicle. The pictures come from the Russian Federal Institute of Industrial Property.

 

It’s fair to say the Niva seen here is just a toned down version of the study, as most of the body lines and panels have been carried over. Gone are the black matte paint, roof rack with extra spare wheel, and the additional headlights. Probably the final production model will also lack the special off-road tires of the concept.
