The Lada Nadezhda or VAZ-2120 "Nadezhda" ("Hope", also a Slavic female name) (Ru:Лада Надежда) is a seven-person four-wheel-drive minivan, produced by the Russian automaker AvtoVAZ in 1998-2006.
The VAZ-2120 was the first minivan produced by the Russian auto industry and was based on the VAZ-2131 Niva line of sport utility vehicles. It was first shown to the public at the 1997 Moscow Auto Show. Built in small numbers, it could not be sold at a competitive price and did not meet with commercial success. Annual production maxed out at around 1,500 units, with a total of about 8,000 examples having been built before it was cancelled in August 2006.[1] Plans to build the Nadezhda on a dedicated, rear-wheel drive chassis came to naught.[1]
AvtoVAZ' OPP (Script error: No such module "Lang".) Pilot Industrial Production subsidiary, located in Tolyatti, produced the Nadezhda to order.[2] The Nadezhda was discontinued as VAZ preferred to use the production capacity to build the 112 Coupé, which could be sold at a higher profit margin.[1]
Design

The pre-production examples used the twin round headlamps of the VAZ-2106, set in organically shaped housings. These were unable to meet newer legislation and on the production models, the headlamps from the Lada 110 were used.[3]
