The base SL version is offered exclusively in a non-metallic white color called "Iceberg", while the front bumpers remain unpainted and the wheels are stamped, black. In this configuration, the SUV does not have a spare wheel cover, power mirrors, rear passenger footwell heating, audio preparation, or an immobilizer. Also missing from the list of options is a system that automatically turns on the low beam headlights.
Under the hood is a standard unit: a four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1.7 liters, producing 80 horsepower and 124.7 Nm of torque. The transmission is a five-speed manual, and the drive is all-wheel drive, with a two-speed transfer case and a locking center differential.
The top of the Niva lineup is the GLC Multimedia version, equipped with a multimedia system based on the Windows CE 6.0 operating system. It includes a seven-inch touchscreen, the ability to play audio and video from an SD card or USB flash drive, as well as the function of connecting smartphones via Bluetooth.
