Model VAZ-2105 Zhiguli / Lada Nova - rear-wheel drive four-door five-seater AvtoVAZ sedan. In 1980, the first-born of the "second generation" of rear-wheel drive cars appeared - the VAZ 2105 sedan. The model appeared as a result of a rather serious modernization of the previously produced VAZ cars of the "classic" layout. On the basis of the 2105 model, a little later appeared: the "luxury" sedan VAZ 2107 and the station wagon VAZ 2104. These models, together with 2105, eventually replaced the "first generation" models (with the exception of 2106). The VAZ-2105 model, in its design, almost corresponded to the European fashion of the early 1980s. This allowed the model to be sold in a number of European countries for many more years. Although in Europe such rear-wheel drive four-door five-seater sedans began to lose ground to front-wheel drive models already in the 70s. Since its inception (and even more so now), this classic sedan has not become prestigious for many car owners and, accordingly, has not become AvtoVAZ's most mass-produced product.
