FactThe Oda was Izhevsk's last home-grown design before the plant leaned on Lada and Moskvitch platforms for everything after.
The Izh 2126, nicknamed "Oda" (Russian for "ode"), was a compact hatchback built by the Soviet/Russian maker IZh (Izhevsk Automobile Plant, later OAO Izhmash then IzhAuto) from 1990 to 2005 as a practical replacement for the 1982 Izh 2125 Kombi — the last wholly Izhevsk-designed vehicle before the plant moved to Lada/Moskvitch-derived platforms. Related to the Lada Samara and Moskvitch Aleko, it was also built as a pickup/panel van (Izh 2717, 1991-2005) and offered a 4x4 variant (Izh-2116). Engines ranged from a 1.6-litre 1,568 cc VAZ-2106-derived four to 1.7-litre and 1.9-litre UZAM units. Front engine, rear- or four-wheel drive. The page gives no wheelbase, body dimensions, curb weight or horsepower figure anywhere, so those are left unset here rather than estimated.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.
