Lada Priora hatchback: technical characteristics and features of the model

Body dimensions and weight of the Lada Priora car - hatchback, station wagon, sedan, coupe, long

The ideal car is different for everyone - it all depends on why they are buying it. Priora is perfect for both the younger generation and the older. The weight that it can lift varies - for example, the station wagon received a voluminous trunk that can accommodate more things. The width of the Priora remains unchanged - exactly 164 cm. The weight of the car ranges from 1578 to 1598 kg.

Hatchback

When it comes to overall dimensions, the Lada Priora cannot but rejoice - you can drive with it even in the narrowest yard. The curb weight of the hatchback is 1163 kg, the maximum permissible is 1578 kg. The trunk volume is 360 liters, and with the seats folded down – 705 liters. Height is 143.5 cm, length – 421 cm.

Sedan

The dimensions of the sedan are slightly different, but the weight of the car remains the same. The trunk volume is 430 liters. The sedan body dimensions are 142 cm in height, length is 435 cm.

Station wagon

The improved technical characteristics of the Lada Priora station wagon allow you to seriously load the trunk - they took care of the reinforced suspension in advance. Unlike the hatchback, the station wagon has a length of 13 cm longer - 434 cm. The height is 150.8 cm. The trunk volume is 444 liters and 777 liters with the seats folded down. The total weight can be equal to 1598 kg.

Coupe

The three-door hatchback Lada Priora was produced in a sports version and featured improved characteristics - after restyling, there were 123 horses under its hood. The body elements had to be redone, which did not affect the dimensions so much. Length is 424.3 cm, height 143.5 cm.

Long body

The extended Priora is the Premier version, premium. Its base was lengthened by 17.5 cm, the rear door was made larger, and an additional section was added to the glass. Under the hood there is a noticeable advantage - more “horses” are needed to pull a heavier car. The salon is decorated elegantly and stylishly. The width remains the same - 168 cm, the length is 452.5 cm, and the height is 142 cm. The curb weight is 1100 kg, and the trunk volume remains the same - 430 liters.

Features of the bodies of “Ladovo” models

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"

Since we started with QOL, let’s continue this topic. For the frame of Ladovsky models without glued glass, the quality of life is 14 thousand N*m/degree, which is a very good mark. And with glass this figure is even higher.

The testing of the Lada body in the rear turned out to be especially good. Thus, in the rear door opening, after a tough diagonal pressure test, the changes were recorded as only 1.5 mm, whereas on most foreign cars the same figure was 5-6 mm.

The body design of the Lada Largus and other similar models fundamentally complies with current European standards in terms of protecting passengers and the driver. The front subframe on Ladovsky models is one of the most important body elements responsible for this indicator. It is even considered an auxiliary spar, significantly increasing the strength of the body, as well as absorbing impact force.

VAZ overall body dimensions

The high quality of life of the Ladovsky body also has a beneficial effect on obtaining high-quality sound comfort in a car showroom. The frame does not twist over bumps and bumps, no deformations or anomalies occur between the interior and body elements, which ultimately has a positive effect on the absence of squeaks.

Note. Of course, in addition to the quality of life indicator, the quality of interior elements also affects the high level of sound comfort. They were obtained through proper 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 arise one way or another between them and the body.

VAZ 2113 body dimensions

A lot of original parts, interchangeability of interior elements between Ladovsky models, enlargement of some parts of the body - all this was only a plus. In particular, the increase in some body elements led to a decrease in their number, which reduced production time and had a positive effect on performance.

Lada Largus

Called a budget station wagon with increased cross-country ability. The body was assembled based on Dasia/Renault Logan. The car was initially adapted for the market of Eastern European countries.

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

Here are some more innovations:

• The engine compartment is well protected. Additional protection was used correctly;
• The front suspension reinforcement has been increased. This was achieved through the use of leverage;
• The washer reservoir has become larger and holds more fluid;
• The wheels received protective aprons;
• The change got a torpedo;
• The bumper and radiator grille have been modernized.

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

In general, the Largus exterior is designed in such a way that it makes it possible to rightfully call the car roomy. A large family, along with bags and suitcases, as well as pets, fits comfortably inside. As for the design, the abundance of straight lines gives the car some speed and dynamism to the slightly clumsy family station wagon.

Linear dimensions of the VAZ body

Height with rails is 167 cm, which is 10 cm more than Dasia Logan. The remaining sizes are also quite individual and do not copy “anyone”.

Lada Kalina

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

"Sedan" version

Let's start with the sedan:

• From the new family of Kalina cars, AvtoVAZ is produced;
• The modern elegant appearance and comfortable interior are called the root reasons for the sedan's good sales;
• It has good handling at high speeds;
• It maneuvers well in the city traffic rhythm;
• Practical and incredibly convenient for daily use;
• The sedan body received wedge-shaped silhouette lines, visually creating the image of a strong, brutal car;
• The opening angle in the luggage compartment has been increased by 120 degrees, which makes loading easier. Inside the trunk, the manufacturer has wisely provided special loops that allow you to secure the cargo being transported.

Convenient trunk

The body as a whole is very durable, and its seat crossbar is subject to reinforcement. This rail saves passengers in the event of a side impact. In addition, the manufacturer provides special pads designed to protect the heads of the driver and passengers.

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

Station wagon version

The Kalina station wagon is, in fact, a full-fledged class B hatchback. AvtoVAZ is also produced. Sales of the model began in 2007, although orders were received based on individual requests long before that.

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

The Kalina station wagon also has good cross-country ability. This makes the car popular among a wide range of car enthusiasts. So, with this station wagon you can safely go into nature, outside the city, even if there are very rough roads along the way.

As for the flat track, there is nothing to blame the car for here either. Handling is excellent, the car handles well, long trips are not tiring.

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

Control dimensions of the VAZ body

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

The cargo compartment is generally a separate matter. It holds all 380 liters of volume, and if you fold the back, the trunk can be transformed into a carrier.

Lada Kalina body dimensions

The length of the station wagon body is 428 cm, the height without roof rails is 146 cm, and the width from one edge of the front wheels to the other is 168 cm. Now let’s compare it with a hatchback: the 1st indicator of the latter is 20 cm shorter, the 2nd indicator is 4 cm higher , and the 3rd indicator is 2 cm wider.

"Hatchback" Kalina

This full-fledged hatchback with 5 doors acts as a new version in the line of Kalinovsky modifications. The Kalina hatchback first appeared only in 2007, while Kalina has been produced since 1996. It is clear that drastic changes were made regarding the body, but the model also received other engines, more modern and meeting European toxicity standards.

The hatchback is ideal for passing city “traffic light” roads, as it is compact and equipped with an accurate power unit with ESVT. This ensures not only high speed characteristics, but also affects minimal fuel consumption.

The short body length (only 408 cm) helps the hatchback not only successfully maneuver among traffic, but also affects overall safety.

“Korotysh” can be called the most purchased “Kalinovskaya” model today, and this is not only a matter of novelty. Russian motorists have always liked hatchbacks, and this one is also equipped with the latest peak of auto fashion: a single key for locks, remote control. control, PU alarm and much more.

Shorty hatchback

Lada Granta

The most popular version of the Grant today is the sedan. The liftback has also become a good seller, but it is still far from being a sedan. The VAZ 2190 is designed for 4 passengers, according to the documents it looks like a B-class car, but after considering the dimensions, you can safely classify it as a C-class.

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

Here are the standard body dimensions of the Lada Grant.

Lada Granta body dimensions

As you can see, the dimensions of this VAZ model are 22 cm longer than those of the Kalina, but 7 cm shorter than the “Samarov” modifications.

Now other characteristics in more detail:

• The radiator grille has received a new corporate style, now resembling a Volga rook, which is held in place by a powerful molding. This grille cools the engine compartment more effectively, as it is equipped with large “nostrils”;
• The bumper is much softer than the VAZ ones and is painted in body color on some car trim levels;
• The general lines of the hood and trunk roof are slightly raised;
• The front optics have received more enlarged outlines, and in the basic version the cars are also equipped with daytime side light.

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

Among the features of the Granta body, one can highlight the good quality of the assembly and good quality of materials. The body parts are connected to each other using high-tech automated German welding. This allowed domestic producers to reach a completely different level.

We also highlight the good quality of painting and resistance to anti-corrosion treatment. Both of these processes are also carried out on German-made automated lines with excellent precision.

The modified body geometry gave the new Russian car a stylish, aspirational lines. This had a beneficial effect not only on the exterior, but also made it possible to significantly reduce the AED resistance. Now this coefficient is 0.36, which is more than 6 percent less than the base model. In addition, the pointed hood is less harmful to pedestrians, experts say.

Important functions are performed by overhangs:

• The Granta's rear overhang has been extended by 15 cm. In turn, this makes the interior even more spacious than before;
• The front overhang is designed in such a way as to reduce the thermal load on the engine and its environment.

As for other body differences:

• The underbody was specially designed for the new Russian car. Special metal sheets with special hardening and double-sided galvanization are a good solution that significantly increases service life;
• As for quality of life, in this particular case the indicator is increased by 12 percent when compared with Kalina;
• The weight of the car was reduced by as much as 40 kg, which could not but affect the handling. Now it has become much easier to maneuver in city tight rows, it is more convenient to take turns;
• It has become easier to install an additional roof rack, since the manufacturer has provided good, strong fastenings on top of the door seals.

Unfortunately, Granta did not lose the traditional VAZ “sores”:

• It is inconvenient to adjust the side mirrors. But this is not necessary, since they provide quite good visibility;
• On the other hand, short drivers will have poor visibility of the road due to the raised lines of the hood and trunk.

Lada Priora

Another VAZ model – Priora – is presented in 4 body versions. Let's look at the body features of each version separately.

"Sedanovskaya" Priora

It is an improved “ten”. The model is distinguished by an elegant, expressive design, good AED quality, and a pleasant interior.

As is typical for sedans, the Priora’s design has better adherence to geometry. This gives the exterior a stylish look.

Here are some more differences:

• The optics are elegantly designed, both front and rear;
• The radiator panel with an elegantly carved large brand name looks very aesthetically pleasing;
• The shape of the wheel arches, made in an open style, deserves approval.

Here are the standard sedan sizes.

Lada Priora body dimensions

Priora hatchback

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

The new hatchback has received a lot of innovative solutions regarding 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 precision, and it, in turn, had a beneficial effect on the mating of body parts, eliminating large gaps and differences in surfaces.

Priora hatchback dimensions

Priora station wagon

The final model of the Priora family. The body is assembled on the basis of a sedan. Moreover, this version is carefully designed by modernizing the design features of the eleventh VAZ model. Thus, this sample received all the advantages of previous versions, losing their weak points.

The Priora station wagon receives about 200 original body elements. Bumpers of a completely different tempering, fenders of an original and unusual shape, a stylish roof - all this is new for the Russian motorist. The trunk, if transformed, can accommodate 777 liters of cargo.

Coupe Priora

A small-scale model from the manufacturer, designed for the amateur. Assembled on the basis of the 5-door 2172. It is a replacement for the Lada 21123 from the Lada 110 family.

The Priora 3-door coupe is an ideal option for drivers who prefer an active, somewhat “aggressive” driving style. This version, like the station wagon, also received many original body parts.

Technical characteristics of Lada Priora hatchback

Tuning Priora hatchback

As for the dimensions, the hatchback is 140 mm shorter than the sedan and 1.5 centimeters higher. The width and wheelbase of the cars are the same. As for wheel sizes, 14-inch wheels are standard on all Priors. The clearance of the Lada Priora hatchback is 165 mm. It is worth noting that the luggage compartment of the hatch is smaller than that of the sedan, however, with the rear seats folded down, the loading space almost doubles. Below are detailed dimensions and dimensions of the machine.

Dimensions, trunk, dimensions of Lada Priora hatchback

• Length - 4210 mm
• Width - 1680 mm
• Height - 1435 mm
• Curb weight / gross weight - 1185 / 1578 kg
• Front/rear wheel track - 1410 / 1380 mm
• Base, distance between front and rear axle - 2492 mm
• Trunk volume - 360 liters
• Trunk volume with seats folded - 705 liters
• Fuel tank volume - 43 liters
• Tire size - 175/65 R14 or 185/60 R14 or 185/65 R14
• Ground clearance of the Lada Priora hatchback is 165 mm

As for power units and transmissions. The Lada Priora is still a front-wheel drive car with a 5-speed manual transmission. An automatic transmission will definitely appear; the manufacturer promises to release a Priora with automatic transmission closer to the fall of 2014.

Interestingly, after restyling, the Lada Priora hatchback lost its 1.6-liter 8-valve power unit. Today the well-known 16-valve engine with a power of 98 hp is offered, plus its more advanced version with a complex exhaust system and passive supercharging, which already produces 106 hp. The gas distribution mechanism still functions thanks to the tension belt and idler roller. Avtovaz claims that the belt has a fairly long service life. However, it is advisable to change the belt regularly. Below are the parameters of the Priora hatchback engines.

Characteristics of the VAZ-21126 engine (98 hp)

• Working volume - 1596 cm3
• Number of cylinders/valves - 4/16
• Power hp/kW - 98/72 at 5600 rpm
• Torque - 145 Nm at 4000 rpm
• Maximum speed - 183 kilometers per hour
• Acceleration to the first hundred - 11.5 (manual transmission 5) seconds
• Fuel consumption in the combined cycle - 6.9 (manual transmission 5) liters

Characteristics of the VAZ-21127 engine (106 hp)

• Working volume - 1596 cm3
• Number of cylinders/valves - 4/16
• Power hp/kW - 106/78 at 5800 rpm
• Torque - 148 Nm at 4200 rpm
• Maximum speed - 183 kilometers per hour
• Acceleration to the first hundred - 11.5 (manual transmission 5) seconds
• Fuel consumption in the combined cycle - 6.8 (manual transmission 5) liters

Restyling Lada Priora 2013

The 2013 restyling consisted of some changes regarding the appearance, some equipment, interior and engine. Among such changes in Prior we will name:

• A slightly modified exterior geometry, which, however, makes no sense to describe, since visually Priora before and after restyling remained almost indistinguishable in appearance;
• Replacing the radiator grille with an elongated “honeycomb”, slightly tilting the car into the now fashionable “organic” style, characterized by biological forms;
• Improved external lighting technology, thanks to which the car’s dimensions have become clearer in the dark. In particular, the area of ​​the reflectors has been increased, LED sections for side lights and brake lights have been added, which are both brighter and more responsive when switched on;
• A dashboard that is implemented differently: instead of four “dials,” the sensor arrows were arranged in two, without compromising functionality. Purely aesthetically it looks better, but from an ergonomic point of view, a lot depends on habit;
• An increased number of pictograms flashing on the dashboard, making it easier to figure out which lighting equipment is faulty;
• An added niche in the center of the dashboard, in which the on-board computer is placed;
• Extended front seat slides, allowing tall drivers and front passengers to adjust their seat positions more flexibly;
• A box that is more spacious in depth to the right of the driver;
• A more attractive three-spoke steering wheel with an airbag under a triangular cover;
• In the “luxury” configuration – leather upholstery based on a combination of auto fabric and eco-leather;
• New door card design.

Also, since 2013, Priors have been produced in a different engine configuration, from which the 80-horsepower engine was removed, but a new 106 l/s engine was added, which, like everyone else, reaches speeds of up to 183 km/h and reduces fuel consumption to 6. 8 – 6.9 liters per hundred km. This engine is equipped with the “luxury” configurations of the Priora. Of course, such a reduction in fuel consumption is very attractive to the consumer. We can only hope that the developers will continue to work in this direction. In addition, the new engine fits well into Euro-3 and Euro-4 environmental standards, thanks to the closely located catalyst. Due to rapid heating, the catalysis of toxic substances occurs more vigorously, as a result of which a lower concentration of them enters the atmosphere.

The restyled Prior also has a drawback (compared to previous editions of this car): the carpet in the trunk is thinner than its predecessors, which is why the noise level while driving is higher. Motorists are advised to take care of additional sound insulation in the trunk. In addition, the curb weight of the car has increased (to 1185 kg), which is by as much as 100 kg. reduced its cargo capabilities, since the maximum weight remained the same - 1593 kg. for a station wagon, and 1578 kg. for other body variations.

Weight of LADA Priora

The carrying capacity of the VAZ Priora I 1.8 MT sedan is 490 (kg).

Weight of popular modifications:

Curb weight of LADA Priora modifications of different generations:

• VAZ Priora I 1.6 MT sedan (2007 - 2013): 1088 (kg) 1578 (kg).
• VAZ Priora I 1.6 MT hatchback (2008 - 2013): 1088 (kg) 1578 (kg).
• VAZ Priora I 1.6 MT station wagon (2013 - present): 1185 (kg) 1593 (kg).
• VAZ Priora I 1.8 MT sedan (2014 - present): 1088 (kg) 1578 (kg).

The value of the permissible gross vehicle weight is indicated in parentheses.

Car load capacity:

The arithmetic difference between a vehicle's gross vehicle weight and its curb weight is the vehicle's payload capacity. For example, for the VAZ Priora I 1.8 MT sedan, the load capacity is determined as follows:

Important: the VAZ Priora I 1.6 MT station wagon is one of the heaviest cars in the model range, its curb weight is 1185 (kg), and the total permissible weight is 1593 (kg).

The head car of the family of Russian cars of the III group of small class LADA Priora is the VAZ-2170.

Technical modification data

It would be wrong to mention that the Priora hatchback is a good budget city car without backing these words up with facts. The car belongs to class B, it is front-wheel drive, the environmental class is Euro 4. The five-door hatchback has a curb weight of 1088 kg, and a maximum weight of 1578 kg.

The suspension in the hatchback was not strengthened compared to the sedan. The front is independent spring, the rear is semi-independent spring. The front brakes are ventilated discs and the rear brakes are drums. The pre-restyling version works only with a manual transmission, the restyled version – with a robotic automatic transmission. The main differences between restyling and pre-restyling are modified headlight optics and a slightly redesigned interior (steering wheel, dashboard, center console, multimedia).

Performance characteristics of the Priora car engine: 126 and 127, how many horsepower and torque

The technical characteristics of the Priora car engine show 98 and 106 horsepower on board. This applies to engines with a displacement of 1.6 liters.

• Motor - 98 horsepower received number 21126. Maximum torque - 4000 rpm at 145 Nm.
• Motor - 106 horsepower is listed under number 21127, torque - 4,200 rpm at 148 km.

Motor 21127 is a modified version of the 126 model, but both of them are available with sixteen valves. In addition, the Priora has two eight-valve engines with a displacement of 1.6 liters, which produce 81 and 87 hp, but they are not as common as newer versions. Interestingly, there are engines with a volume of 1.8 liters.

1. The first 1.8 liter engine produces 98 hp. (21127 also works), but the torque is 3000 rpm at 160 Nm.
2. The 123 hp engine, which was installed on sports versions, produces 4000 rpm at 165 Nm.

Compared to the weight of the car, sixteen-valve engines are sufficient for free movement.

As for the technical condition, the VAZ-21126 and subsequent models are superior to eight-valve versions of engines, which is why car owners choose them more often. The most common “layout” is the Priora sedan with a 21126 engine and a manual transmission.

Geometric dimensions

If the so-called overall dimensions of the body were presented above, now we will talk about geometric ones. Knowing these dimensions will not only allow you to form an opinion about the car or help you choose, but will also make it possible to carry out professional repairs.

Video on how to take geometric dimensions of a body

The set of distances between certain points of the body, called control points, is called geometry. They are initially installed by the manufacturer at the factory. It is clear that these points provide an ideal, precise position.

To check the compliance of the geometric dimensions of Lada cars, the owner must measure certain distances shown in the photo below.

It also wouldn't hurt to measure these dimensions.

For more detailed information on how to remove the geometric dimensions of the body with your own hands, see the video and photo. You can also read instructions about this in other publications on our site.

Forget about fines from cameras! An absolutely legal new product - Traffic Police Camera Jammer, hides your license plates from the cameras that are installed in all cities. More details at the link.

• Absolutely legal (Article 12.2);
• Hides from photo and video recording;
• Suitable for all cars;
• Works through the cigarette lighter connector;
• Does not cause interference to radios and cell phones.

Characteristics (performance characteristics): Priora gearboxes

Priora is equipped with two gearboxes:

1. mechanical;
2. robotic.

The five-speed manual transmission is always stable. The owner’s task is to monitor it and give it proper care, without relying on the car to “fix itself.” The gear ratios are such that they make the car with six-valve engines reach “hundreds” in just 11 seconds.

The robotic automatic transmission also comes with five speeds. It is a slight modification of the old reliable Japanese Jatco box. According to AvtoVAZ, it is not inferior in acceleration to cars with manual transmission. Errors such as kicks during overclocking may occur. They can be removed by reprogramming the ECU. The clutch is a dry single-plate clutch with a diaphragm pressure spring inside. The clutch release drive is cable with automatic adjustment.

Price of the minimum and maximum configuration of Lada Priora today

The price of the minimum configuration today is on average 320,000 rubles, and for the maximum – 420,000 rubles. Why is it worth paying an extra 100,000 rubles?

The Standard (minimum) and Image (maximum) configurations differ in many parameters. So, in the maximum there is:

• Immobilizer;
• Security alarm;
• Engine splash guard;
• Center armrest with storage;
• Front passenger airbag;
• Passenger sun visor;
• Special interior;
• Power steering (in Standard - EUR);
• Central locking with remote control;
• Heated front seats;
• Electric drive and heated exterior mirrors;
• Climate control;
• Multimedia system (in Standard - audio preparation);
• Light alloy wheels 15”, spare wheel 14” (standard – stamped wheel and spare wheel of thirteenth radius).

It’s worth paying for such an “addition” for the sake of your comfort and the comfort of your passengers, and the overpayment of 100,000 rubles is not in vain. When buying a Priora on the secondary market, you can hardly hope for the maximum configuration, because cars with the maximum configuration are bought “for themselves”; they are not resold after several years of use.

Engines on Lada Priore hatchback

The 5-door hatchback VAZ 2172, produced since 2007, is equipped with three engines with different rated power, volume 1596 cc:

• Eight-valve 81-horsepower engine with a maximum speed of 172 km/h with a fuel consumption of 7.6 liters per 100 km. when driving in mixed mode. This is the least economical of all Priora engines, although it is the cheapest. Currently, Priors are no longer equipped with it;
• 16-valve, 89-horsepower, capable of accelerating the car to 176 km/h. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle is slightly lower, namely 7.3 l/100 km;
• 98 horsepower: this 16-valve engine accelerated the hatchback to 183 km/h and consumed 7.4 l/100 km in the combined cycle; Until 2013, the 3-door hatchback coupe was equipped with only one engine – 98 l/s, which gave this car the same technical characteristics as its 5-door brother.

Lada Priora Sedan Lyalka ↓pneumatic ↓ › Logbook › Shvi ceiling

Noise insulation does not stand still, my doll and I are moving towards complete silence. And the other day we became one more step closer to her. As you already understand from the name of the BZ, I made noise insulation for the roof, for this I needed: 3 sheets of SGM vibration insulation, a 4mm splen sheet, and half a meter of bitoplast.

Well now what came of it...

The result was also not long in coming, it became much quieter on the highway, in terms of music, the bass became more elastic and clear, and the gain on the amplifier was reduced. I will continue in the same spirit, all that remains is to do the shvi of the floor, and the rear doors and that’s it))

Characteristics of Priora hatchback

Vehicle body and layout

Body type VAZ 2171 is a five-seater, five-door station wagon. The fifth door is solid and opens upward. The overall dimensions of the Lada Priora station wagon (body length, width and height) are 4210, 1680 and 1420 mm, respectively. The height is indicated taking into account the roof rails, which are not removable. For the Lada Priora station wagon, 10 body color options are offered: from black and dark red to white and silver. The "Lada Priora" station wagon in "Snow Queen" color is most suitable for southern regions, since it heats up less from the sun. In summer, cars of this color will not be so hot.

The vehicle's wheelbase (the distance between the front and rear axles) is 2492 mm. The front track is 1410 mm, the rear is slightly larger, its size is 1380 mm. Ground clearance (or ground clearance) is 170 mm. The trunk of the Priora station wagon has a volume of 444 cubic dm, and with the rear row seats folded, the volume will increase to 777 cubic dm, but the seats do not fold flat. Lada Priora 2171 has a front-wheel drive layout with a front transverse engine. The wheel arrangement is 4×2 (the car has 4 wheels, 2 of which are driving).

In the AvtoVAZ Lada Priora model line, the station wagon is closest to the Kalina station wagon. Which is better: a Kalina station wagon or a Priora station wagon, it is impossible to determine for sure. “Kalina” is 30 cm shorter, and its trunk is 30 liters smaller. But the Priora is no longer produced, so it is impossible to buy a completely new car, just as it is impossible to test drive a Lada-Priora station wagon at a car dealership.

Suspension characteristics

The Priora's chassis was designed for smooth driving over bumps and obstacles, as well as driving along a country road. Of course, the VAZ-2170 is not an SUV, but it can easily go through many places. The front part of the suspension is independent, and the rear part is semi-independent, which makes the car softer.

Many owners almost immediately replace the anti-roll bar arms along with the struts with a sports kit - so that the car does not wobble when making a sharp turn. Telescopic shock absorbers consistently dampen vibrations when passing obstacles, so there will be no problems with it. VAZ-2170 is a front-wheel drive car.

• Front suspension is MacPherson type with longitudinal braces.
• The rear suspension is also with trailing arms. It has a U-shaped transverse beam, to which a torsion-type anti-roll bar is attached.

As for the ground clearance, for the pre-restyling version it was 165 mm, and for the restyled version it was 170 mm. The wheelbase is 249.2 cm, the front track width is 141 cm, the rear track is 138 cm. The suspension can be lowered or raised if desired - ready-made kits for modernization are available for open sale.

Necessary tool for replacing seat upholstery on Lada Priora

To reupholster the rear and front seats on a Priora, you will need the following tool:

1. Pliers or side cutters (or a pair of pliers).
2. Crosshead screwdriver.
3. Awl.
4. Nylon ties 2.5×150, or 3.6×150.

The new upholstery was from, a more classic pattern, the fabric itself is pleasant to the touch, and the seams are even and do not tear. If your style is business, then you can choose “Skif”, although it will be more expensive.

Naturally, you need to change the upholstery on all seats, but if you are going to reupholster it for the first time, we recommend starting with the back row, it will be easier with it than with the front ones.

Dimensions

The Lada Priora with a hatchback body has the most “modest” dimensions in its series. The length of the five-door version is only 4.24 meters, the three-door version is slightly shorter - 4.21. The height parameters are average, in comparison with the low-set sedan and the high “station wagon” - 1.43 meters.

The width is the same as other body types - 1.68 meters. Almost all versions have a clearance height of 16.8 centimeters, with the exception of the “Sport” line, where it is slightly lower.

Engine after restyling

The technical characteristics of the Lada Priora hatchback have changed somewhat after restyling in 2013. In the new version only 2 engines were released:

1. In the younger model, the engine has become more economical (consumption of only 6.9 liters), with increased power - 98 horsepower. Maximum acceleration is 183 kilometers.
2. In the older version, the engine became more powerful - 106 horsepower, but with the same speed characteristics. Consumption dropped to 6.8 liters.

Versions of the Priora station wagon

For the Lada Priora station wagon, three configuration options are possible:

1. “Standard” is the cheapest (not produced since 2014).
2. “Norma”, which includes an airbag for the driver, a brake system with a vacuum booster, front disc brakes, power steering, inertia seat belts, an anti-theft alarm, running lights for daylight hours, a fabric interior, and electric heated exterior mirrors.
3. The “Lada Priora” station wagon “Lux” is distinguished by the fact that it has airbags for passenger seats in the first row, a rain sensor, electric windows in the rear doors, and alloy wheels. The interior finishing material is Alcantara (artificial suede). The front seats can be adjusted. In some cases, the Lada Priora Lux station wagon is equipped with parking sensors and a navigator.

In 2013, the car was restyled. Externally, the 2013 station wagon and the 2014 station wagon differ little. The new version features an updated radiator grille, side collars on the side mirrors, the front and rear bumpers have changed, and LEDs have been installed in the headlights.

The interior of the 2013 Priora station wagon has undergone major changes. It was modernized with the participation of the Italian design studio Carcerano. The car is now equipped with a three-spoke steering wheel, and a color monitor is installed in the center console to control the stereo system and display navigator information. In older trim levels, the front row seats are equipped with additional airbags and adjustable heating.

Body

In all versions of the Priora, the bodywork is mediocre. Drivers and experts had 2 complaints:

Susceptibility to rust. The body is made of ordinary steel, without alloying additives. For this reason, after the first winter it begins to actively rust and it will not be possible to stop this process.

Poor paintwork. Some noticed that it began to fall off in large “chips.” You will have to constantly visit the paint shop to paint over them, otherwise the corrosion process will be unstoppable.

How to reupholster the rear and front seats of Priora

The first thing you need to do is disassemble the back row, then put it in a place convenient for you, maybe right in the middle of the room. The whole procedure consists of straightening the metal rings, rearranging the knitting needles and stretching the new upholstery using not rings, but ties.

The old upholstery is attached to the body using steel rings; we unbend them. If you try to snack on them, it will be a rather labor-intensive task. Therefore, simply use side cutters to twist the ring clockwise, and it will come off. If that doesn't work, use pliers.

Transmission

Initially, the hatchback came with a manual transmission. In fact, it was a strengthened version of the gearbox from the 110th Lada. Drivers immediately noted the poor quality of the mechanics, which became known for having very poor synchronizers. Often the handle simply “jumped” out of gear or the desired mode simply did not turn on.

The release lever began to knock just 3 months after purchase, and unclear shifts were observed immediately from the passenger compartment.

Subsequently, the restyled version of “2180” received updated mechanics, which worked much smoother. The sudden knocks disappeared and shifts became smooth. Afterwards, AvtoVAZ updated the gearbox and installed a robotic version, which received mixed reviews. However, it is very reliable and convenient; there are no reviews about its inoperability.

Fabric for car ceiling upholstery

Before you start, you need to buy the right fabric. The selection of upholstery depends on the owner’s preferences and taste. Each material has its own characteristics, the ability to react differently to temperature changes. There are different types of fabric sold in the market. Let's get acquainted with the main ones.

Velours

The interiors of mid-priced cars are upholstered in velor. The peculiarity of the material is its soft texture and unique appearance.

Note! When choosing velor, you need to focus on products from well-known manufacturers. Inexpensive models, even if reupholstering rules are followed, will last a maximum of two to three seasons.

The disadvantage of velor fabric is its instability to mechanical stress. It is easily scratched and torn by accidental contact with blunt objects. But this is compensated by the ease of maintenance - you don’t need to buy expensive chemicals to clean the surface from dust and dirt.

When you need to update your ceiling on a limited budget, pay attention to flock. It is rarely used when updating the interior in a garage. The reason is the complexity of surface treatment technology. Standard adhesive for reupholstery is not enough, since the upholstery will come off when you first clean the surface. To increase strength, the flocking technique is used. It consists of:

• degreasing;
• spraying the primer composition;
• thorough impregnation of the material to increase its strength.

Brake system

The front and rear brakes are different. There are ventilated disc brakes with a single-piston floating caliper and automatic adjustment of the gap between the pads and the disc at the front, and drum brakes at the rear. The brake system is diagonal, dual-circuit, hydraulic. Equipped with a vacuum booster.

It is possible to work with the traction control system. You can also install disc brakes at the rear instead of standard drum brakes. The new braking system will also support ABS. The parking brake is manual, on a cable with drive of the rear wheels.

Modifications of Lada Priora 2172

The pre-restyling model in the hatchback body was sold on our market from 2008 to 2013.

There was no need to choose a box before restyling, but there were several units at once:

The updated hatchback model was offered on our market only from 2013 to 2015.

After modernization, a new manual transmission, a robot and a more powerful 16-valve engine appeared:

Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of Lada Priora 2172

Body

The body is highly susceptible to corrosion and rust may appear after the first winter. The paintwork is not the most durable; chips form quickly and immediately turn yellow.

Salon

The interior is very cramped, especially in the back, and there are a lot of ergonomic miscalculations. Noise insulation is weak, squeaks appear from the first km and only intensify with mileage.

But most of all the problems are caused by electrics; something constantly breaks down. This is some kind of endless process, you fix one thing and immediately something else breaks.

Engine

Four 1.6-liter engines have similar problems, let's list them in a single list:

• Sensors often fail, and in updated internal combustion engines there is an electronic throttle valve
• The thermostat may unexpectedly jam, which will lead to overheating and gasket breakdown
• Lubricant leaks regularly occur, as well as fogging of the crankcase ventilation breather
• The worst thing is a broken timing belt due to old age, jammed rollers or pump

Transmission

The main manual transmission of the VAZ 2170 is a reinforced version of the manual transmission from the Lada 110 and is known for weak synchronizers, release knocks and unclear shifting.

The new mechanics of the VAZ 2180 with a cable drive are much more pleasant to use. The VAZ 2182 robot received very mixed reviews, read a separate article about it.

Suspension

But there are much fewer questions regarding the chassis of the car. The suspension here is quite reliable; by 100,000 km, steering tips, wheel bearings, and ball joints are usually replaced.

The brakes are not bad if you buy normal pads instead of the stock ones as soon as possible. The first years of production there were failures with the electric power steering, but then everything got better.

How to change the ceiling of a VAZ 2110 with your own hands: instructions

Years of use of the car take their toll on it: the headliner darkens and becomes dull, and the appearance of the interior is also not amazing. In some cases, dry cleaning helps, but when detergents don’t help, it’s time to act decisively and radically.

What is good about the Lada Priora hatchback?

The answer to this question lies in the plane of what advantages such a body variation has in general. Firstly, it is a sportier and more dynamic look, which is preferred by young buyers, even taking into account the fact that the sedan looks more solid. Secondly, its compact size and the shortest wheelbase make it easier to maneuver and park in urban environments. Above we have already described the dimensions of the hatchback. Thirdly, the absence of a protruding stern, which creates difficulties when parking and reversing. Fourthly, a wide luggage opening (despite the fact that the Priora sedan has a larger trunk in volume), allowing for the stowage of large cargo.

Thus, the Priora hatchback is an excellent choice for those who do not burden themselves too much with pressing problems, preferring to devote time to the simple joys of life. This is a car for driving, not for transportation, which will be appreciated by young car enthusiasts, athletes, and those who do not intend to grow old.

Station wagon

Today, three types of bodies are produced: sedan, hatchback and station wagon.
Since you already know everything about the first two, we’ll tell you about the station wagon. This is a very practical car, the luggage compartment is spacious enough to carry large loads, and you can easily convert the rear seat into a bed. If you look at this type of body from a technical point of view, its volume is 444 liters, and with the sofa folded - about 800 liters (up to the level of the windows).

Characteristics of the trunk volume of the station wagon (mm):

• width – 1500, between wheel arches – 930;
• length – 985 and 1640 with the sofa folded;
• the distance from the floor to the trunk shelf is 560, and to the lid – 845;
• trunk door opening size – 820.

The station wagon car itself has very serious dimensions (mm):

• in length is 4340;
• width – 1680;
• in height – 1508;
• ground clearance - 170.

Now the Lada is considered the most expensive among the Priors, but the price of the car is equivalent to its quality. You won't be able to find a cheaper station wagon among foreign cars.

Three engine options are available:

• 8-valve VAZ-2116 engine with a power of 90 horsepower;
• 16-valve VAZ-21126 engine with a power of 98 horsepower. The station wagon modification with engine 21126 (factory designation VAZ 217130) is the most affordable on the secondary market;
• The 16-valve VAZ-21127 engine, which produces 106 horsepower, wins in terms of efficiency and reliability.

The base engine of the Lada Priora 2171 model is a gasoline, four-stroke, four-cylinder (cylinders are arranged in a row) 16-valve VAZ-21127 engine with distributed injection. This engine appeared after the VAZ-21126 engine was modified to improve the intake system. On the VAZ 21127, instead of one mass air flow sensor, two are installed: absolute pressure and air temperature. This made it possible to get rid of the known problem of the previous model - fluctuations in the crankshaft speed at low speeds.

The volume of this engine is 1596 cubic cm, the diameter of each of the four cylinders is 82 mm, the piston stroke is 75.6 mm, the compression ratio is 11. The octane number of gasoline used is 95. This engine develops power up to 106 horsepower at crankshaft rotation speed 5800 rpm, and its maximum torque is 148 Nm at 4200 rpm. It is obvious that the characteristics of the VAZ Priora with the 21127 engine are 8 horsepower and 3 Nm higher than those of a car of the same brand with the 21126 engine.

The maximum speed of the Priora station wagon with engine 21127 is 183 km/h, acceleration to hundreds is possible in 11.5 seconds with a total weight of 1578 kg. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle is 6.8 liters per 100 km, and on the highway fuel consumption is 5.4 liters per 100 km. The fuel tank holds 43 liters of fuel. The manufacturer claims an engine life of 200 thousand km.

We offer an overview of the most practical car from the entire Lada Priora family. This is, of course, the new Lada Priora station wagon (VAZ 2171). In our article you will find photos, characteristics, prices and other information about this car.

The first Priors in the station wagon body went on sale back in 2009, two years after the start of sales of sedans. Lada Priora station wagon is the most spacious and roomy car of the entire Priora family. However, the length of the station wagon is 1 centimeter shorter than the sedan, but longer than the hatchback. At the same time, the wheelbase of all three body options is the same.

The luggage compartment volume of the Priora station wagon is 444 liters, but if the rear seats are folded down, the volume of loading space increases to 777 liters. The most interesting thing is that the seats still do not fold into a perfectly flat floor.

As for the latest restyling, which took place in 2013, the car has remained virtually unchanged in appearance. Apart from the new radiator grille, bumpers, turn signals built into the exterior mirrors and optics with daytime running lights, by the way, the rear lights now have LEDs.

However, the technical part and interior have undergone more serious changes. Thus, a more powerful power unit of 106 hp appeared on the new generation Lada Priora station wagon. This engine is not a new development, but a modernized 98 hp engine. As for the transmission of the front-wheel drive station wagon, Avtovaz designers modified the manual gearbox, and a new cable clutch appeared. There is no automatic transmission option yet, but as the manufacturer promises, Lada Priora with automatic transmission will hit the production line at the end of summer 2014. In addition, the sound insulation of the Lada Priora station wagon has been slightly improved.

But the first thing that clearly catches your eye on the new Priora is the interior. There are new seats with a fabric that is more practical and pleasant to the touch. By the way, in rich trim levels, the front seats have built-in side airbags and heating with three power levels. The steering wheel is now three-spoke. The center console has a color monitor, which is not only an element of the stereo system, but can also act as a navigator screen.
