Good day to all.

While the car is waiting for a salary to replace the heater core, I decided to wash the seat upholstery (my family). No sooner said than done. I’ll make a reservation right away - I only removed the passenger seat and the back seat without a backrest (I’ll explain why a little later).

And so let's go: for removal we will need a 10 socket, as well as an 8 socket (or an asterisk, I don’t remember which one). I had exactly 8 in stock. The rear sofa has 4 nuts for 10, and the front one has 4 bolts for an asterisk (the head for 8 is ideal).

And so we unscrew the seats and take them home (someone removes the upholstery on the spot, but I think it’s more convenient and easier to bring it home. Moreover, the seats can be easily removed).

Let's move on. Disassembly. For disassembly you will need a Phillips screwdriver (to remove decorative plastic) and a flat screwdriver (to remove the upholstery itself. Some use pliers, but in my opinion a screwdriver is more convenient).

After removing the elastic, you need to either bend or cut the wire holding the upholstery with the foam. The fastening of the upholstery on the back of the front seat is slightly different. On the sides and bottom there is a groove in the groove, when disassembling it is clear without explanation

You also need to remove the headrest guides and the Kalina emblem. The latter is attached through paralon to a plastic crap (I don’t know what to call it) and to fabric with staples.

The upholstery is removed and you can start washing.

The springs on the front seat were sagging, so it was decided to turn them over. On the back, I left the top 2 as they were (curved back, but turned the rest over. Like lumbar support)

Are you wondering whether to buy new seats for your car? If you want to again feel the comfort of high-quality car seats or simply want to replace outdated or worn-out seats, then these seats are an excellent option, since similar ones are installed on VAZ. The lowest prices are also listed on our website. In a word, we give you the opportunity to again feel like you are in the interior of a new car, while saving on the purchase of car seats.

This group presents standard, factory seats, as well as components for Lada Samara 2 (VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115) cars.

About the material of car seat covers

Cases made of artificial leather. If the leatherette is of high quality, then products made from it will be durable, reliable and practical (it is easy to wash and clean, breathable). Such cases can be a good alternative to genuine leather.

It is prestigious to have genuine leather cases. Leather products are highly wear-resistant, elastic, and the texture of the material is pleasant to the touch. This is the best choice, and the only thing that can be off-putting is the high cost.

Velor covers have a low cost, an original design (can be of different colors), good durability and do not require maintenance. This material takes on a streamlined shape and fits tightly onto the seats. Covers made of 100% velor are the most practical option.

If the covers contain synthetic polyester, keep in mind that this dense material does not allow air to pass through well, causing the skin to sweat.

Covers made of plush, tapestry. Inexpensive materials that absorb moisture well and are easy to wash. The main disadvantage is rapid wear.

Jacquard covers. This fabric consists of a complex weave of chemical and natural fibers. Durable and well breathable. Disadvantage: high price.

Fur covers can protect seats from wear, as well as keep you warm in winter or prevent you from sweating in summer. With such covers, the car interior becomes more prestigious. Universal fur covers

When purchasing, you should pay special attention to the quality of the fur.

Eco-leather covers are artificial leather without PVC. Modern material that “breathes” well, at the same time does not allow water to pass through. This material does not “melt” or smell in the heat, and does not crack in the cold. Eco-leather is pleasant to the touch and durable.

Very often the material is combined, for example, leatherette is used along the edges of the covers, and the central insert is made of velor.

Users of the Lada.online website have the opportunity to buy eco-leather covers for Vesta at a competitive price.

We invite you to take part in the survey and determine which covers are best suited for modern cars Lada Granta (sedan and liftback), Lada Kalina 2nd and 1st generation, Lada Priora or Lada Vesta. Case reviews will be especially helpful.

Instructions for using "ERA GLONASS" on LADA

Lada Granta Standard - minimum equipment from the manufacturer

The basic equipment of the Granta cannot boast of anything special, but the minimum package is still enough for comfortable operation of the car during short trips. The Standard package includes:

• Driver airbag;
• Fastening system for child seats;
• Immobilizer and system for blocking the opening of rear seats by children;
• Emergency call program via ERA-GLONASS;
• ABS system that prevents the possibility of wheel locking during braking;
• Assist system for assisted braking.

The Standard also assumes the presence of light alloy wheels, audio preparation, a cabin air filter and DRLs. The minimum cost for this package starts from 420,000 rubles.

Additionally, the standard equipment of the car can be expanded with additional functionality packages Classic or Classic Optima, which contain light tinting, a standard audio system, a passenger airbag, and a spare tire. The Classic Optima package, among other things, has an electric power steering wheel and a standard on-board computer and a system for prompting rational gear shifting for the driver.

For the Classic and Classic Optima packages you will have to pay 45 and 65 thousand rubles, respectively, on top of the basic equipment of the Lada Grant. When purchasing from an official dealer, you will also receive additional rubber mats for the car.

Other parameters of Lada Granta:

Caution: the above data are the official figures of the manufacturer, however, please note that the information is for reference only and does not guarantee absolute accuracy.

Which seats are suitable?

Replacing standard seats with a seat from a foreign car would be a completely logical decision, since for little money you can purchase good products that will still have a large residual life, thereby improving such parameters as:

• Lateral support
• Pressure adjustment
• Folding
• Electric heating
• Upholstery quality
• Height adjustment

As a rule, installing a non-original seat requires minor modifications, since if you install seats on foreign cars, they will differ significantly. But you can find ones that are more similar. It is best to choose a seat from a coupe, since they fit best in a three-door Niva as they allow passengers to get into the cabin without any problems.

The most suitable seats are from such foreign cars as:

But it is worth knowing that the demand for them is very high and it is not so easy to find them. Therefore, if you have a three-child Niva, then you can pick up a foreign car with four doors, but you will have to modify them yourself.

Let's sum it up

The procedure for installing more comfortable seats is quite acceptable. This is a good opportunity for every car owner to make their vehicle more comfortable, beautiful and enjoyable to use. But for this you need to find smart products and a good craftsman. Seats on disassembly do not always inspire confidence. Many of them are smoked, some have broken plastic adjustment knobs, frayed fabrics or altered shapes. Therefore, you should buy seats carefully, checking all the factors. It is better to agree with the seller that you will return the seat if it turns out to be of poor quality.

The process of installing a new seat on a VAZ 2110 is quite complicated. But the most difficult process will be the digestion of the fastener. If you entrust this work to a specialist, you will not experience any significant problems with further actions. The choice of chair is important. Don't go for the width of the back and leather trim. It is better to buy simple and practical products from a reputable manufacturer. Such products will serve you for a long time and will not cause trouble in the future. What kind of seats would you like to put in your car?

Installation

Install the rear seat in reverse order.

How to remove the rear seat on Samara 2 (VAZ 2114)?

• Water in the cabin on the right side of the VAZ 2114 – 3 answers
• Blows air from above the driver's door on a VAZ 2115 - 3 answers
• The seat tilt handle in 2114 broke - 1 answer
• Why is there water under the floor mats on a VAZ 2114? – 1 answer
• VAZ 2114 cigarette lighter does not work - 1 answer

This is done quite simply.

1) Use a screwdriver to pry off the decor. remove the left rear seat mounting trim. Do the same with the right one.

2) Unscrew the bolts on the right and left (a 10mm socket is useful) that attach the seat cushion and remove it.

3) Next, unscrew the lower fastenings of the seat back (left and right).

4) The seat back is removed along with the trunk floor carpet.

How to remove a VAZ 2114 seat to install other components or replace old passenger seats? On the one hand, the question is simple, but on the other hand, it is necessary to choose the right replacement for the old chairs. How to do it?

You will need:

• angle grinder; • Drill; • Welding machine (you can do without it); • Corner 60x60; • Profiled pipe 30x30; • Metal sheet 4 mm, cut into squares (for welding amplifiers); • Key to 13; • M8x14 bolts and cage nuts for them. First, the interior is freed from the old seats using a wrench. This eliminates the floor covering and sound insulation, if any. When starting to mark the location relative to the central tunnel, door cards, top of the pillar, ceiling, additionally take into account the disturbed alignment of the steering wheel in the Niva - by about 5 cm.

After this, the frame is assembled with pre-installed mortgages, welded or screwed to the power elements of the body (using corners) so that the standard amplifier is lower than the seat support.

Then the direct installation of seats on a VAZ from a foreign car is carried out.

Step-by-step installation instructions

I'll tell you in what order I worked:

1. I unscrewed 2 bolts front and rear in the cabin.
2. I pulled out the old seats.
3. When installing a new seat from Solaris, I used the second internal hole. A standard bolt was screwed into it.
4. The outer runners are a little tight, so I had to put a little pressure on them. But the tension is very small.

The inner runners fit well. The alignment with the original hole is one to one. But I had to put a washer in, since the hole is slightly larger than the required diameter.

The seats stood up like family. They are slightly worn, not new. As a result, the size of the seats takes up exactly the same amount of space as standard ones.

If you measure the distance between the seats, it is a little more than 12 cm. Standard armrests are 12 cm wide, so it turns out that they will be flush. But there is such an accessory from Granta Sport, which is 11 cm wide. I ordered such an armrest and want to install it.

Now the armrest will not interfere with the adjustment of the backrest - there are no twists. They are now on the outside, and not knobs, but levers. This is more convenient - you can quickly recline and fold the seat.

The driver's seat now has a lift that can be used to adjust the height. With minimal lowering, it turns out to be slightly higher than on Grant.

That's why I'm riding in the lowest position for now. The seat belts fit without any problems.

What I wanted to find

I decided to find something more convenient to put on this car. The main search criterion was that the width of the runners be the same as in the Lada Grant. The width distance between the fastening bolts is 45 cm. The length of the main skids that are attached to the car body is 41 cm.

If the runners are narrower than on the Grant, then the plates will have to be welded on. But I didn’t want this, since this is already re-equipping the car. If I screw the seats back to the standard places, there will be no conversion. The seats will hold securely and will definitely not come off. If there is welding, then it is unknown how it will all turn out.

I looked on the Internet, read, studied this topic. I decided on seats from Hyundai Solaris. They also have a width at the centers of the mounting holes of 45 cm. The length of the runners is also 41 cm. The only drawback is that the “ear” is riveted in front.

There is also a reinforcement at the back that will have to be removed.

After removing these elements, what remains are completely bare runners, which will be screwed into the Lada Granta. There is no need to drill anything, everything matches the standard fasteners - very convenient.

Rear sofas - what to replace them with in the VAZ 2110?

If everything is approximately clear with the front seat options, then the rear sofas require a special approach. We are talking about an unconventional size and rather strange types of fastening of a sofa from AvtoVAZ. If you are far from automotive, it is better not to modify the rear seats yourself. To do this you will need the help of specialists

It is important to find a car of the same size, as wider cushions and backrests will have to be redesigned. The installation process is quite complicated:

you need to choose good rear sofas from models such as Volkswagen Polo, Hyundai Solaris, KIA Rio, Renault Logan, and you can also pay attention to Toyota Corolla; Next comes the dismantling of the seats of your car, which is not particularly difficult - just unscrew a few fasteners to get all the structural parts without any difficulties; Next, you should try on new seats, it is quite possible that you will have to order their re-upholstery at a studio, since it is very difficult, and sometimes impossible, to guess the size perfectly; the next step is the installation of fasteners, it is necessary to remove the fastening parts from the VAZ seats and rearrange them on the purchased pillows and backrests for high-quality fastening; after that, all that remains is to install the finished seats in place and enjoy the updated interior of your car, also don’t forget to take a photo and share it on the forums and in the logbook.

Of course, this sounds much simpler than it is done. The process may take more than one day, especially if the seats need to be altered, shortened or lengthened. When choosing seats for the rear of a car, it is best to buy a whole interior set. This will help significantly reduce the cost of further alterations. After all, if you install chairs of different colors, you will have to sew covers or change the upholstery and spend extra money.

The simplest options - almost without modifications

There are legends on the Internet that many seat models fit the VAZ 2110 without any modifications at all. But in fact, without any special modifications, you can only install Recaro from old Opel. All other options will have to be redone and digested. There are also arguments that this is not a safe process at all and could lead to disaster. Let's draw a definite line under all that has been said and give specific recommendations so that nothing bad happens:

• you will still have to weld the slides on the seats, but you don’t have to do it yourself, it’s better to order this work from a good welder, maybe not even a car mechanic;
• after welding, no further alterations are needed if you have chosen the seats correctly, that is, you have not bought too wide or high seat options because of beauty and cheapness;
• it is more difficult to change the rear sofa due to its rather specific size, but there are model options on the market with identical widths; you just need to look for offers at a disassembly site;
• you can keep all the functions of the seats from the foreign car - height adjustment, lumbar support adjustment, electrical adjustments (but they will have to be connected separately from the wiring);
• The conversion is not only possible, it is really worth it, since AvtoVAZ does not install the best seats, with the only exceptions being Vesta and X-RAY.

These are the conclusions that can be drawn from installing foreign-made seats on a VAZ 2110 car. This is a good idea that should result in positive emotions during the trip. In almost any foreign car, the seats are much more comfortable than in domestic cars. It makes no sense to install seats from Kalina or Priora in the Ten, you won’t feel a significant difference, and you’ll still have to struggle with modifications. So it’s better to find a good foreign car.

We invite you to watch a video of remaking seats for a VAZ 2110:

Refurbishment or not

Some may consider this a refurbishment, but I think not. I installed the seats on the Grant from a foreign car in the standard places. Skids without welding, also with 4 attachment points. Therefore, the reliability and installation method have not changed. And I doubt that it will be noticeable.

I ordered covers for the front seats and armrest.

It is secured with 3 screws. You need to unscrew them and install the armrest on them.

The armrest mounts fit well, everything fit together. Does the armrest interfere with the handbrake? If you fold it back, you can freely grab the handle with your hand. If you lower it, then using the handbrake is not so convenient. The height of the armrest turned out to be slightly higher than the gearshift knob.

What I wanted to find

I decided to find something more convenient to put on this car. The main search criterion was that the width of the runners be the same as in the Lada Grant. The width distance between the fastening bolts is 45 cm. The length of the main skids that are attached to the car body is 41 cm.

Modernization of interior and seats

OJSC AvtoVAZagregat produces and supplies seats for any VAZ model, including Lada Kalina Sport cars. A wide range of materials are used for seat upholstery with a different range of colors. The design of the seat includes a metal frame, which is made by welding, and padding elements, in the production of which elastic polyurethane foam is used. Textiles or artificial leather are used for upholstery. Specialists from AvtoVAZagregat OJSC have modified some elements of the Lada Kalina’s interior.

1. Now, in the production of seats, components of Russian and foreign production are used. Lada seats are distinguished by innovative padding and more pronounced lateral support. They have become much more comfortable, safer and meet standard requirements.
2. Pedal pads 11196 Sport 1.6L 16V are supplied as standard equipment for a VAZ car. A thick layer of polished stainless steel also has rubber inserts. They are fastened without drilling or riveting, using special clamps with bolts.
3. The salon is distinguished by the dark graphite color scheme of the instrument panel and other interior elements. The luxury package includes a climate system and a number of other options provided for it.

Advantages of seats in Lada Kalina Sport:

• the design solution in the layout plan made it possible to optimize the area of ​​the internal space;
• the seating height can provide sufficient visibility;
• the chairs are comfortable and ergonomic;
• large angles when opening doors adds convenience when passengers enter/exit;
• the rear seats can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of cargo sizes;
• The presence of glass with athermal properties can protect the car interior from seat burnout and interior overheating, and the luxury version of the model is equipped with a front seat heating system.

Due to the fact that modern materials are used in the Lada Kalina, the car's sound insulation is good. They are also currently developing seats for the Sport model, covered in artificial leather with performance characteristics corresponding to high-quality German-made samples.

In addition, the rear seats for the Lada Kalina car were designed using L-shaped headrests, which passed homologation testing at UTAK, in France. A project with seats for the Lada-2190 is at the development stage. The assembled seats are capable of withstanding 80,000 kilometers of testing for the condition of structural connections and installation.

Features of the bodies of “Ladovo” models

ATTENTION! I found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! You do not believe me? Even a mechanic with 15 years of experience didn’t believe it until he tried it. Now save 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Know more"

Since we started with QOL, we will continue this topic. The frame of the Ladovsky models without laminated glass has a quality life of 14 thousand N * m / degree, which is a very good estimate. And with glass this figure is even higher.

Tests of the Lada body in the rear turned out to be especially good. Thus, in the opening of the rear door after a rigorous diagonal pressure test, deviations of only 1.5 mm were recorded, whereas on most foreign cars this figure was 5-6 mm.

The body of Lada Largus and other similar models basically complies with current European standards in terms of protecting passengers and the driver. The front subframe on Lada models is one of the most important body elements responsible for this indicator. It is even considered an auxiliary spar, which significantly increases the strength of the body and absorbs impact forces.

The high quality of life of the Ladovsky body also has a beneficial effect on achieving high-quality acoustic comfort in the car dealership. On unevenness and bumps, the chassis does not twist, there are no deformations or anomalies between the interior and body elements, which ultimately has a positive effect on the absence of squeaks.

Note. Naturally, in addition to the QOL indicator, the quality of interior elements also affects the indicator of high acoustic comfort. They were obtained by careful calculation so as not to come into contact with the body in places where squeaking might occur. This was achieved by fixing the plastic components with special fasteners and minimizing the various gaps that somehow form between them and the body.

Many original parts, interchangeability of internal elements between Ladov models, enlargement of some parts of the body - all this was only beneficial. In particular, the enlargement of certain body parts resulted in a reduction in their number, which reduced production time and had a positive effect on productivity.

Lada Largus

Called a budget station wagon with greater cross-country ability. The body is based on Dacia/Renault Logan. The car was originally adapted for the Eastern European market.

Even in the basic version of Logan, engineers took effective measures to improve corrosion protection by using protective inserts for the wheel arches. In addition, over larger areas than before (for Samarov residents), anti-corrosion and anti-gravity protection was installed, with a thicker layer of mastic.

Here's other news:

• The engine compartment is well protected. Properly used with additional protection;
• Increased front suspension reinforcement. This was achieved through the use of leverage;
• The washing machine tank has become larger and holds more liquid;
• The wheels received protective aprons;
• It was replaced by a torpedo;
• The bumper and radiator grille have been redesigned.

It is noteworthy that the station wagon is made in 2 body styles - 5-seater and 7-seater. In addition, a van is also available. The price of the car is low - only 350 thousand rubles and good comfort. When compared with foreign cars, the cost is high and low.

In general, the exterior of Largus is designed in such a way that it can rightfully be called a spacious car. A large family, along with bags and suitcases, as well as pets are safe. As for the design, the abundance of straight lines gives the car a certain speed and dynamism of the somewhat awkward family station wagon.

The height with handrails is 167 cm, which is 10 cm more than the Dacia Logan. Otherwise, the sizes are also quite individual and do not copy anyone.

Lada Kalina

A car with 4 body styles: sedan, regular 5-door hatchback, station wagon and sports hatchback.

"Sedan" version

Let's start with the sedan:

• AvtoVAZ is produced from the new Kalina family of cars;
• The sleek, modern exterior and comfortable interior are cited as the main reasons for the sedan's strong sales;
• Features good handling at high speeds;
• Maneuvers well in city traffic;
• Practical and incredibly comfortable for everyday use;
• The sedan body received wedge-shaped silhouette lines, visually creating the image of a strong and brutal car;
• In the trunk, the opening angle is increased by 120 degrees, which makes loading easier. Inside the trunk, the manufacturer has wisely provided special rings to ensure the safety of the goods being transported.

The overall bodywork is very solid and the seatpost could use some reinforcement. This rail saves passengers in the event of a side impact. In addition, the manufacturer supplies special bearings designed to protect the head of the driver and passengers.

Here are the body dimensions of the Lada Kalina sedan shown in the photo.

Station wagon version

“Kalina” is, in fact, a real class B sedan. AvtoVAZ is also produced. Sales of the model began in 2007, although orders for individual requests were received much earlier.

The versatility of this version is the main advantage of the sedan over others. Sufficient maneuverability, despite its large size, and enviable dynamics for safe passage of city and country roads cannot leave the buyer indifferent.

The Kalina chariot also has good bottom capacity. This makes the car popular with a wide range of car enthusiasts. So, with this station wagon you can safely travel into nature, out of town, even if you encounter very bumpy roads along the way.

As for the smooth track, there is nothing to blame the car for. The handling is excellent, the car stays in place, and long trips do not tire you out.

The Kalina station wagon is practically unpretentious in terms of operating conditions and maintenance.

The salon is thought out to the smallest detail. Everything is done wisely so that the driver and passengers feel comfortable. Five people can be comfortably accommodated inside, and there is still room for luggage.

The cargo compartment is a completely different matter. It holds all 380 liters of volume, and if the backrest folds down again, the trunk can be converted into a vehicle.

The length of the station wagon body is 428 cm, the height without handrails is 146 cm, and the width from one end of the front wheels to the other is 168 cm. Now we can compare it with a sedan: the first indicator of the latter is 20 cm shorter, the 2nd indicator is 4 cm higher, and the 3rd is 2 cm wider.

"Hatchback" Kalina

This full-fledged 5-door sedan serves as a new version in the Kalinov modification line. The Kalina sedan first appeared only in 2007, while Kalina has been produced since 1996. It is clear that fundamental changes were made to the body, but the model also received other engines, more modern and meeting European toxicity standards.

The sedan is ideal for passing the "traffic lights" of city roads, as it is compact and equipped with a precise powertrain with ESVT. This not only ensures high speed performance, but also affects minimal fuel consumption.

The short body length (only 408 cm) helps the sedan not only successfully navigate in traffic, but also affects overall safety.

“Korotysh” today can be called the most purchased “Kalinovskaya” model, and it’s not just a matter of newness. Russian motorists have always liked sedans, and this one is also equipped with the latest technology: a single key for locks, remote control, PU alarm and much more.

Lada Granta

The sedan today is considered a popular version of the Grant. Liftbacks are also starting to sell well, but the sedan is still a long way off. The VAZ 2190 is designed for 4 passengers; according to the documents, it drives like a class B car, but taking into account its dimensions, we can safely classify it as a class C car.

Continuing the “Kalina” traditions, the sedan was even assembled on its platform and borrowed a lot from the “Kalina”: body, chassis, interior. On the other hand, it is a different car with a different character, larger cargo area, redesigned design, etc. The trunk has increased to 500 liters.

Here are the standard Lada Granta body dimensions.

As you can see, the dimensions of this VAZ model are 22 cm larger than those of the Kalina, but 7 cm shorter than the Samarova modifications.

And now more about other functions:

• The radiator grille received a new corporate style, similar to the “Volgov Boat”, which is held in place by a powerful molding. This grille cools the engine compartment more effectively, as it has large “nostrils”;
• The bumper is much softer than the VAZ and on some versions of the car is painted in the color of the body;
• The general lines of the hood and trunk roof are slightly raised;
• The front optics have received larger outlines, and in the basic version the cars are also equipped with side daytime running lights.

As for equipment, the new sedan can be purchased in 3 options. The coolest is the Lux, equipped with a 98 horsepower engine and a completely different level of interior equipment.

Among the characteristics of the bag body, we can highlight the build quality and good quality materials. Body parts are connected to each other by high-tech automated German welding. This allowed domestic producers to reach a completely different level.

We also emphasize the good quality of the paint and resistance to anti-corrosion treatment. Both of these processes are also carried out with excellent precision on German automatic lines.

The new body geometry gave the new Russian car an elegant aspiration of lines. This had a beneficial effect not only on the outside, but also made it possible to significantly reduce the resistance of the AED. The ratio is now 0.36, which is more than 6% below the base model. Also, according to experts, a pointed hood is less suitable for pedestrians.

Overhangs perform important functions:

• Grant's rear overhang is extended by 15 cm, which in turn makes the interior even more spacious than before;
• The front overhang is designed to reduce thermal load on the engine and the environment.

As for the other body differences:

• The lower part of the body was specially designed for the new Russian car. Special sheets with special hardening and galvanization on both sides are a good solution that significantly increases processing time;
• As for the quality of life, in this case the indicator increased by 12 percent compared to Kalina;
• The weight of the car was reduced by as much as 40 kg, which could only affect handling. Now it has become much easier to maneuver in the narrow rows of the city, it is more convenient to take turns;
• installing an additional roof rack has become easier, since the manufacturer has provided good and reliable fastenings above the door seals.

Unfortunately, Granta has not lost its traditional VAZ “troubles”:

• The side rearview mirrors are difficult to adjust. But this is not necessary, since they provide good visibility;
• On the other hand, small drivers will not be able to see the road well due to the raised lines of the hood and trunk.

Lada Priora

Another VAZ model - Priora - is presented in 4 body options. Let's consider the characteristics of the case of each version separately.

"Sedanovskaya" Priora

this is an improved top ten. The model features an elegant, expressive design, high-quality AED, and a pleasant interior.

As is typical for sedans, the Priora's geometry is respected best. This gives the appearance an elegant look.

Here are a few more differences:

• The optics are elegantly designed both front and rear;
• The radiator panel looks very aesthetically pleasing with large, elegantly sculpted branding;
• The exposed wheel arches are commendable.

Here are the standard dimensions of a sedan.

Priora hatchback

The second model of the Lada Priora family. An ideal 5-door hatchback, the embodiment of the best examples ever assembled at AvtoVAZ.

The new sedan has received many innovative solutions in terms of appearance and technical capabilities.

The 2172 body was designed using the popular PC geometric modeling method. Thanks to this, it was possible to achieve high accuracy and, in turn, had a beneficial effect on the joining of body parts, eliminating large gaps and differences in surfaces.

Priora station wagon

The final model from the Priora family. The body is assembled on the basis of a sedan. In addition, this version has been carefully developed by modernizing the design features of the 11th VAZ model. Thus, this champion received all the advantages of previous versions, losing their weaknesses.

The Priora station wagon will receive about 200 original body elements. Bumpers of a completely different rigidity, fenders of an original and unusual shape, a stylish roof - all this is new for the Russian motorist. The converted trunk holds 777 liters of cargo.

Coupe Priora

A small-sized model from the manufacturer, designed for the amateur. Assembled on the basis of the 5-door 2172. Replaces Lada 21123 from the Lada 110 family.

Priora 3 Porte Coupé is ideal for drivers who prefer an active, slightly “aggressive” driving style. This version, like the station wagon, received many original body parts.

Step-by-step installation instructions

I'll tell you in what order I worked:

1. I unscrewed 2 bolts front and rear in the cabin.
2. I pulled out the old seats.
3. When installing a new seat from Solaris, I used the second internal hole. A standard bolt was screwed into it.
4. The outer runners are a little tight, so I had to put a little pressure on them. But the tension is very small.

The inner runners fit well. The alignment with the original hole is one to one. But I had to put a washer in, since the hole is slightly larger than the required diameter.

The seats stood up like family. They are slightly worn, not new. As a result, the size of the seats takes up exactly the same amount of space as standard ones.

If you measure the distance between the seats, it is a little more than 12 cm. Standard armrests are 12 cm wide, so it turns out that they will be flush. But there is such an accessory from Granta Sport, which is 11 cm wide. I ordered such an armrest and want to install it.

Now the armrest will not interfere with the adjustment of the backrest - there are no twists. They are now on the outside, and not knobs, but levers. This is more convenient - you can quickly recline and fold the seat.

The driver's seat now has a lift that can be used to adjust the height. With minimal lowering, it turns out to be slightly higher than on Grant.

That's why I'm riding in the lowest position for now. The seat belts fit without any problems.

Specifications

Under the hood of the 2022 Lada Granta, one of three 4-cylinder gasoline engines is installed. All engines have a volume of 1.6-liters, but depending on the configuration, power units can produce 87, 98 and 106 hp, while the maximum torque for each of them is 140, 145 and 148 Nm, respectively. The manufacturer recommends refueling cars with AI-95 gasoline, of which 50 liters fit in the tank. Power units of 106 and 87 hp. are paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The 98-horsepower version is available with a four-speed automatic transmission. Regardless of the engine or transmission, the power is supplied to the front wheel drive without alternative.

The model's suspension consists of an independent multi-link structure at the front and a semi-independent structure at the rear, which is based on a torsion beam. In addition, the former is equipped with a stabilizer bar. The braking system is built according to a similar scheme: disc brakes are installed in front, and ordinary drums are installed on the rear axle. It is also worth noting that this model has electric power steering. Since the article discusses the Lada Granta sedan, we will provide the dimensions that are relevant specifically for this body. They have the following meanings:

• length - 4,268;
• width - 1,700 mm;
• height - 1,482 mm;
• wheelbase length - 2,456 mm;
• weight - 1,160 kg.

It must be said that the model has a maximum load capacity of 400 kg, therefore the permissible total load of the vehicle is 1,560 kg. The fairly spacious trunk can accommodate cargo with a total volume of 520 liters. The review of the technical characteristics of the Lada Grant can be completed by talking about the ride height. The five-seater sedan rises 180 mm above the road surface at its lowest point.

We install new seats on the Niva - the advantages of tuning models

One of the most important advantages is the possibility of their additional equipment. If you order such chairs directly from the studio, you are given the opportunity to equip them with an electric heating system, an embroidered logo (this can be either the emblem of the manufacturer or just a VAZ logo), adjustable lumbar support, as well as a forward reclining mechanism, which is especially important for Niva owners.

Drivers also note the convenience and comfort of the tuned seats. Each of these options has adjustable lumbar support rigidity, which eliminates driver fatigue on long trips. The seating position of this chair is significantly higher than that of standard ones, and visibility inside increases accordingly. Some models are additionally equipped with locking mechanisms and other technical bells and whistles.

As for reliability, unlike standard VAZ ones, these products are made of high-quality steel, and therefore have a reliable and durable design. Proof of this is the presence of normalized corners (present on almost every tuned chair). They are often made from rolled metal measuring 5x4x0.4 centimeters.

The cost of used products taken from disassembly and those purchased by drivers at a tuning studio is almost the same - about 100-200 US dollars per unit.

How to properly adjust the driver's seat

Any trip, even a short one, begins with the correct driving position. Not only does the comfort and fatigue of the driver depend on it; first of all, correct seating affects safety and health. Therefore, always devote some of your time to this moment.

How to properly adjust the seat?

Everyone knows that it is very pleasant to sit imposingly in a soft chair. However, the driver's seat should be treated primarily as a place of work.

Of course, driving a car with a properly adjusted seat should be comfortable.

Below we will look at the main adjustments that are available on all modern cars, there are only two of them:

We will also mention additional adjustments that are not always found:

Let's say a few words about the head restraints (6), as well as about adjusting the steering column (not on all models).
