雪佛兰Niva第二代车型专利图近日曝光。通用曾在2014年的莫斯科车展发布了Niva概念车，预先向人们展示了新一代车型设计雏形。现在一年多过去了，最终量产版外观首次全面披露。从图片看，Niva量产版就是更为低调一些的概念版车型，概念车的绝大部分车身线条和面板都保留了下来。只不过不再采用黑色哑光漆，车顶行李架上的备胎已经前面的四个大灯也拿掉了。或许最终量产版连概念车上的越野备胎也会拿掉。至于动力系统，预计该车将搭载1.8或1.6升汽油引擎，功率约为88千瓦/120马力。而概念版车型搭载一台1.8升自然进气汽油引擎，功率90千瓦/122马力，搭配五速手动变速箱，锁止差速器和全驱系统。雪佛兰预计将于明年发布Niva最终量产版。

 

Chevrolet Niva leaked in patent images

The second generation of the Chevrolet Niva has been fully revealed in leaked patent images.

 

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.

 

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.

 

There’s still no official information as to what will power the vehicle, but Russian media is suggesting this could be 1.8 or 1.6 petrol unit with power of up to around 120 hp (88 kW).

 

The Niva study featured a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated petrol unit, generating 122 hp (90 kW). Power was sent to the ground through a 5-speed manual gearbox, a locking differential, and an all-wheel drive system.

 

An official premiere for the production Niva is expected sometime next year.
