The city will be more, but not by much.

The classic Niva is a well-known and beloved Russian SUV that regularly carries mushroom pickers and fishermen out of town. And after the redesign at the beginning of this year, it became even more comfortable: the length of the rear seat increased, two more fan speed modes were added (there were four in total), the interior design was updated. And finally, the car has got a connector for a smartphone! But the two most important and pleasant changes are the modernized heating system and additional sound insulation.
As for the driving part, there are no special changes, and they are not needed. “Niva” is still passable, manageable, and although the speed set leaves much to be desired, it is still the queen on harsh domestic roads and off-road.
3. Datsun mi-DO
Price - 593 thousand rubles.
The twin sister of Lada Grants, Datsun mi-DO, claims to be in the same niche as AvtoVAZ’s beloved brainchild - an inexpensive workhorse for car enthusiasts seeking to save money.
The car is compact, quite economical, it feels confident both on the pavement and on a country road after rain. The interior of the car is spacious for a family of 4 people, although the materials from which it is made speak loudly about the budget of the car. The sound insulation (the impression that it does not exist at all) and the trunk (it is only 250 l) are more upsetting.
But for your money you will get not just air conditioning, but full climate control (as well as a 1.6-liter engine and a five-speed “mechanics”).
2. Datsun on-DO, Trust II
Price - 570 thousand rubles.

And although the car is very similar to the LADA Granta (some of the structural and external features were borrowed from the top car of the Russian automotive industry), even in the minimal configuration Datsun on-DO is more favorable to the buyer. For example, by default, the kit includes heated mirrors, heated seats, power steering and power windows.
By the way, it is worth adding that the Datsun on-DO brand is leaving the domestic market. If you liked the car, we advise you to hurry up with a purchase!
1. LADA Granta
The price is 529 thousand rubles.
Pa first place among the most affordable cars with air conditioning is the permanent leader of the domestic auto industry and sales in Russia, and one of the best cars for a newcomer - LADA Granta.
After restyling in 2018, the car became even better. A number of initial shortcomings (for example, the possibility of pistons colliding with valves when the timing belt breaks) were corrected, the temperature regime was optimized, and so on. As a result, an “iron horse" was born with a very energy-intensive suspension, even running on even the bumpiest road, high traffic due to ground clearance and high-profile tires. And if you add excellent handling to this, it’s clear why LADA Granta has been steadily holding top sales for a long time.
Even LADA Granta won the hearts of Russian car owners with an excellent (for a budget car) configurator. The car has four body types, a choice between mechanics, automatic and robotic transmissions is available, and as for the secondary options, there are a lot of them. One complete set with air conditioning 17 pieces! And there is always something to save on by individual selection of components.
