Few off-roaders are as rugged as the Soviet-designed Lada Niva. It was built to withstand the harsh realities of the Russian climate and ended up outlasting even the Soviet Union itself - yes, the Niva still remains in production. Can you guess the year when it was first launched?

When the original Land Rover Defender was finally discontinued in 2016, the Niva became the longest-running 4x4 still in production. Its design might be extremely basic, but it works - especially in harsh conditions. Perhaps that's why the Niva also found so many fans in places like Iceland and Canada.
