Chronology
PredecessorFiat 1300
SuccessorFiat 131

The Russian-built VAZ-2101 "Zhiguli" and its many derivatives (known universally as the Lada outside the Soviet Union) were based on the Fiat 124, and are the best known of the many licensed variants of the 124 manufactured around the world. The Lada constitutes the vast majority of 124 production, and makes it the fifth best selling automotive platform in history.

The 124 was superseded in its home market by the Fiat 131.
