Chevrolet Niva concept unveiled

To preview the next-generation Russian-market Niva, Chevrolet and local partner AvtoVAZ have revealed a purposeful-looking concept at the Moscow Motor Show.

The compact SUV’s design is defined by chunky proportions and a high waistline that rises dramatically towards the rear. For its debut Chevrolet decided to augment the styling with numerous off-road accessories including a front winch, extra underbody protection, a snorkel, a roof rack and 16” wheels shod with BF Goodrich all-terrain tyres.

The new Niva is due to arrive at Chevrolet dealers in Russia sometime during 2016.

Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
