The Ladas break down before you get in a crash. Can't get injured if it was parked at the mechanics.

Aren't modern Ladas based on Renault tech (so essentially the same as Dacias)

Only Lada Largus which is based on Dacia Logan MCV. There was also Lada Xray based on Dacia Sandero, but it's not produced anymore.

Lada Niva is essentially ancient car from 1977 which changed very little since then. It's awesome cheap car with extreme offroad capabilities, -1 star safety and poor reliability. Interesting and unique combination of properties in modern world.

There's also Lada Niva Travel which was developed in 1998 with a bit different market orientation.

Lada Vesta is most modern Lada development and it's not directly based on Renault tech. Lada Granta is a bit older Lada which is in-house development as well. Those are not 4x4, though.

I have no idea whether those cars are sold in Europe. Probably not.

Nivas (both classic/4x4/Legend niva and travel/chevrolet niva) are not based on Renault tech, they've been developed inhouse (with GM help on Travel one)
