Niva is also available in 4 door (extended weelbase) formfactor. It was the first consumer oriented 4 weel drive car (note my wording here - not SUV but 4 weel drive) available in the USSR to a consumer powered by 1.6 L engine (the most you can get at the time). It was very popular in rural places and for hunting/fishing.
You still can find them today in Canada. They were imported under "Cossack" logo.
