VAZ-217230 car: full review, technical specifications and owner reviews

Features of Priora-Lux

In later versions, after restyling, luxury models received a standard multimedia system and radio.
A standard double-din or multimedia system was built into the dashboard. There are four speakers installed in the cabin, and the car was equipped with an antenna. The standard radio can be used in two modes - for listening to CDs or radio stations. Another small detail that you can pay attention to is the sensors for parking sensors. Perhaps the VAZ-217230 is the only domestic car that is equipped with sensors already at the production stage

Previously, parking sensors could only be installed as an option for an additional fee.

In the luxury version, the manufacturer equips the car with other door handles. Now these elements are made for a natural grip. The process of opening the door with the help of this handle has become much more convenient than with the handles from the 12th model. The part itself is equipped with a trim painted in the body color. This helps protect the element from scratches.

Specifications

The car is equipped with a four-cylinder 16-valve power unit with a volume of 1.6 liters. The technical characteristics of the VAZ-217230 with this engine are quite good. The engine develops 98 hp. With. power. Together with the five-speed gearbox, the power unit shows good results.

But judging by reviews from owners, as well as test drives, this 1.6-liter VAZ-217230 engine does not produce enough torque at low speeds. But when the needle reaches 3000 rpm, then the car truly “comes to life”. In general, this engine performs well at high speeds. If you don't lower the bar below 3000, the car accelerates well. As for the manual transmission, there were cases when in the first versions the gears did not engage well. This once again speaks about the quality of domestic cars. But in the post-restyling models, all these errors were eliminated.

AvtoVAZ announced that the technical characteristics of the VAZ-217230 Priora would be improved, and yes, they really did it. Until recently, models rolled off the assembly line that were equipped with a 1.8 engine and a robotic gearbox.

Design

The VAZ-217230 Priora is compared in design to the VAZ-2112. But despite the obvious similarities between the Priora and the cars of the tenth AvtoVAZ family, there are a lot of differences between the series. The body has clear lines, the designers did a very good job on the geometry. Streamlined contours give the car a more stylish look. A hatchback implies that this is a sports car. And in general this is true. Yes, it cannot be used for rallying, but its performance is high enough for a simple people's car.

The car stands out with its side parts. The well-detailed rear fenders also look impressive. In later versions, modern lighting technology is installed on the trunk lid. Due to these expressive features, the VAZ-217230 is able to give a head start to any other models in its generation.

Compared to the 12th model, the front part of the Priora has also changed. Thus, the headlights became more oval, their shape was changed to streamlined. And this is where the list of changes in appearance ends. If we consider the design as a whole, then only for the rear part the developers can give a solid four. This is the best design in this price segment.

Many are interested in the answer to the question: why didn’t AvtoVAZ create a completely original body for this car? Everything here is more than simple. Thus, due to its spectacular appearance, the hatchback 2112 became very popular and found many fans. The car can often be seen on Russian roads. It was logical for AvtoVAZ to once again “play” on this wave of popularity and make a car with the same exterior. But one thing is certain: more serious changes in design trends could be an interesting solution.

Quality finish

As for finishing materials, the plastic of the front panel is quite soft. However, its quality is low. The steering wheel is not very good. It is made of inexpensive and frankly unpleasant to the touch plastic. It's not very convenient to use the steering column switches. One of the shortcomings of the interior organization is the high armrest in front. Because of this, working with the gear selector is very inconvenient. It is recessed into the central tunnel. The back row is comfortable - passengers will be comfortable. But this is true as long as people of average height sit in front of them. Two passengers can feel comfortable on the back seat. But if you make room, three will sit easily.

Interior

The interior is well thought out and well assembled. As for the characteristics of ergonomics and the quality of materials used in finishing, for these factors Priora is one of the best in its price range.

The front seats have a comfortable profile. There is even lateral support, and it really holds, which is amazing. The chair is adjustable within a sufficient range. The driver's seat will be comfortable even for tall people. But if the driver is taller than 185 cm, then he may have certain problems. Thus, the steering column in the VAZ-217230 is adjustable only in tilt angles or only in height.
