The first Lada Priora rolled off the assembly line in 2007. A couple of years later, this car became very popular among domestic car enthusiasts, mainly because of its affordable price. At the same time, many car owners strive to give their Priora individuality. Make it look more solid and more expensive. Tuning helps them with this. Let's figure out what this procedure is.
- Chassis
- Improved appearance
- Interior tuning

Engine change
The Priora engine provides ample opportunities for tuning. Most often, car enthusiasts bore the cylinder block and install shortened pistons in the engine. Such pistons, in turn, require replacing the crankshaft. As a result, the characteristics of the engine are completely changed, and its power can increase by 35%. But there is a minus: fuel consumption will also increase. Therefore, not all car enthusiasts decide to undertake such radical engine tuning. Many people limit themselves to installing mechanical compressors in the engine, which can increase engine power by 10–15%.
Cylinder boring is one of the most labor-intensive engine tuning options.
Another inexpensive way to increase the dynamic parameters of the Priora is to work with a carburetor. In this device, the jets and acceleration pump are changed (most often, parts manufactured by BOSCH are installed in place of standard spare parts). Then fine adjustment of the fuel level is performed. As a result, the car accelerates twice as fast.
Do-it-yourself Priora tuning - photos and videos of tuned Priors
Since 2007, the Russian, with the participation of the Italian studio “Carcerano”, began to fill the domestic market with Lada Priora cars, which the buyer loved with an incredibly attractive price and unlimited possibilities for tuning, even with his own hands, without contacting specialized services.
The appearance of this car created a new direction in tuning - to turn a recognizable inexpensive “iron horse” into an incredibly attractive car that would stand out for its appearance and not be inferior in technical characteristics to more prestigious cars. A selection of various video and photographic materials from the Internet will help you decide on tuning your Priora.
Conventionally, complete tuning of Priors can be divided into:
- changing the external “standard factory” appearance of the machine;
- improving the comfort and equipment of the cabin;
- modification of the technical part: engine, carburetor, chassis.
So, let's look at each stage of change in more detail.
Updated look
You can start tuning for the VAZ Priora by changing the shape of the bumpers and hood. Universal hood stops installed on the car will solve the problem of factory defects.
Bumpers that are suitable for tuning on a Priora can be purchased without any problems. Lightweight “Sniper”, “I am a robot” made of plastic, fiberglass AVR series, custom-made, installed on the factory mounts of the vehicle and do not require significant modifications. They not only help change the shape, but also improve some technical characteristics, for example, increasing the engine cooling rate with the appearance of a wide air collector.
Set “I am a robot”
Installing special plastic “skirts”, spoilers and body kits can completely transform the appearance.

With modified bumpers, it would be appropriate to tune the radiator grille. It's up to you to make an updated grille in the form of stripes, honeycombs or another pattern, but you can change it only in two ways:
- Changing the radiator grille to order without replacing the front bumper. This is a more economical option, but sometimes such a grille does not transform the front view so much that it is not recognizable as a Priora.
- The radiator grille changes along with the front bumper, and these changes greatly affect the change in appearance, which is confirmed by numerous photos of the tuned Priora.
It would be a good idea to make changes to the headlights. Installing eyelashes, bilens, and tinting the rear lights will affect the uniqueness of the car. And changing the factory lamp dimensions to LEDs will not only unique the appearance, but will also significantly enhance the glow from dull yellow to bright, almost white light. It is possible to upgrade turn signals to larger dimensions, which will expand their functional load.
To complete the external transformation, you can use vinyl to cover the entire car or some of its parts, treat yourself to the “know-how” and make a carbon fiber covering of the car in 2D or 3D versions. If you like airbrushing, then the car is completely ready to embody any fantasy of the owner.
This tuning is well suited for Priora with any body - hatchback, sedan or station wagon.
Priora interior tuning
You can start modifying the interior with its lighting. The factory lamp and lamp provide too dim unidirectional light. Achieve significant changes by replacing the lampshade, installing LEDs instead of incandescent lamps, and moving the central interior lighting. You can illuminate the door handles, and the most daring owners can install LED strips under the front seats, illuminating the floor of the car.
Plastic interior parts are usually additionally covered with various materials. This can be leather and substitutes or carbon film. The front and rear seats of the car are also reupholstered in the cabin, where the factory covers are replaced with custom-made ones. Recently, in Russia, replacing leather, covers made of fur or flock have come into fashion, due to the cold weather.
It is almost impossible to modify the front panel of the car yourself, so it is better to turn to specialists to modify it. But in the luggage compartment you can “do some magic”: install lighting, make a second floor for tools. Such changes look especially attractive in the photo with the tuning of the Priora hatchback type.
This video shows the beautiful interior of a tuned Priora:
Changes under the hood
With the right approach, you can increase engine power by 40%. Installing a mechanical supercharger (supercharger compressor), boring cylinder blocks, replacing pistons with low ones and the crankshaft with high ones will help make the car faster, but will require more fuel consumption.
Improved dynamic characteristics are achieved by working with the carburetor. Rub the parts of the disassembled carburetor with sandpaper and blow out the channels, change the jet and acceleration pump, adjust the fuel level - and the Lada Priora will increase its acceleration speed. And a double-diaphragm vacuum booster, cermet discs and new springs can improve the braking system.

Do-it-yourself Priora tuning
First, you need to think over a transformation plan and start with the simplest, for example, installing DRLs or fog lights, trunk lighting or replacing door handles. Then you can move on to more complex changes: install new thresholds, paint or tint headlights, illuminate the doors.
Once you're ready to make more complex changes yourself, change the radiator grille, install air suspension or a turbine. And only after becoming a true master, read the information about painting a car yourself and installing additional sound insulation.
Having thus transformed your “iron friend,” you can safely leave the garage and surprise others with your tuning achievements, without revealing the secrets of your own skills. And in the end, we invite you to look at a video selection of cool tuned Priors:
Chassis
When it comes to changes in the chassis, the first thing drivers do is remove the standard brake booster and replace it with a vacuum one, always with two membranes. This doubles the reliability of the brakes. Stiffer springs and ceramic-coated discs are installed in the clutch basket, and a lightweight flywheel is installed on the crankshaft. This measure significantly reduces the vehicle acceleration time without premature wear of the clutch and gearbox.
The rear wheels of Prioras are often equipped with disc brakes from “tens”
Finally, the rear drum brakes are removed from the Priora and replaced with disc brakes from the VAZ 2110. The drum brake design is no longer used almost anywhere, since it is considered obsolete. Installing a disc system on the rear wheels increases braking reliability and requires virtually no modification.
Improved appearance
Here's what drivers do to improve the appearance of the Priora:
- New bumpers are installed on the car (sometimes complete with thresholds). You can buy all this in specialized stores. Most often, lightweight kits from the Sniper or I Robot series are purchased from Priora. They are made of plastic, the cost of one bumper starts from 4,500 rubles;
- spoiler installation. The products of AVR, which produces fiberglass spoilers, are very popular. Or the spoiler can be made to order at a tuning studio. But this is a very expensive pleasure;
- replacing disks. On early Priora models, the wheels were steel, and their appearance left much to be desired. Therefore, tuning enthusiasts try to replace them with cast ones, since they are more beautiful and lighter. But for all its attractiveness, a cast disk, unlike a steel one, is very fragile. And its maintainability tends to zero;
- replacement or modification of mirrors. The most inexpensive option is to install special overlays purchased in the store on standard mirrors. This simple procedure radically changes the appearance of your side mirrors. The second option is to install mirrors from other cars. Now that AvtoVAZ has updated its model range, mirrors from Granta or Vesta are often installed on Prioras. But before installation, they will have to be modified, since they are attached to the body differently;
- replacing door handles. The standard handles on the Priora are trimmed with ordinary plastic, usually black. And they look very old-fashioned. Therefore, tuning enthusiasts often replace them with chrome-plated handles, “recessed” into the car body. As an option, the handles can be finished in carbon fiber, or completely match the color of the car body. There is no shortage of door handles today. And on the counter of any spare parts store, a car enthusiast will always be able to choose the option that suits him.
Appearance
Currently, tuning for VAZ cars has a wide range of choices. Since Russian-made cars are quite inexpensive, this attracts their buyers. Tuning for Lada cars is also available and can be found in almost any city.
Tinted glass
To give your car a beautiful appearance, the first step is to tint it. Car tinting is relatively inexpensive, ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 rubles. But after tinting, your car will shine with new colors. It is legally possible to tint car windows only from the rear. Since the light transmittance of the film is not so high, viewing in the evening will be difficult.
Lip installation
To give the car a stylish look, you can install a lip on the front instead of the standard fangs under the bumper. There are several types of lips. The rubber lip “Samurai” and the plastic lip from the Chevrolet Cruze fit perfectly on the Priora bumper. The lip should be secured under the bumper with self-tapping screws. The price of the lip is from 500 to 1000 rubles.
Lipspoiler
In the days of the nines, when our fathers raised the rear of the car by installing spacers under the rear shock absorbers and installing huge spoilers like in Need For Speed. Nowadays, it is stylish to lower a car; by the way, you can read how to properly lower a car on our website, and install a small spoiler that is glued to double-sided tape. The price of such a spoiler varies within 1000 rubles.
Alloy wheels
Everyone knows that the wheels of a car are the floor of the car, so the wheels of your car should be beautiful and you like them. On the Lada Priora you can install wheels with a radius ranging from R14 to R17. When installing R16 and R17 wheels, you will have to buy low-profile tires, which is very expensive and not practical, but at least beautiful. When installing disks with a large radius, comfort is lost and the chassis begins to work rougher since the rubber does not “eat up” minor road irregularities.
Interior tuning
Here are typical options for tuning the Priora's interior:
- change of upholstery. The standard upholstery on the Priora is regular leatherette with fragments of plastic. This option does not suit everyone, and drivers often remove almost all plastic inserts, replacing them with leatherette. Sometimes carpet is used as upholstery material, although such upholstery is not durable. Interiors are very rarely decorated with genuine leather, since this pleasure is not cheap. Such finishing may well cost half the cost of the car;
The upholstery in this cabin is carpet with plastic inserts of the same color. - replacing the braid on the steering wheel. In any tuning store, the driver can choose a steering braid to suit his taste, from almost any material - from artificial leather to genuine leather. There is no need to make this finishing element yourself;
- dashboard trim. The most popular option is vinyl wrapping. Cheap and cheerful. Although the service life of even very good film does not exceed six years. Much less often the dashboard is trimmed with carbon fiber. To apply such a coating you will need a specialist with the appropriate equipment. And his services will cost the driver a pretty penny;
- interior lighting. In the standard version, only the driver and front passenger have lamps. But even this lighting is not very bright. To somehow correct this situation, drivers often install lighting for the feet and glove compartment. It is performed using ordinary LED strips, the cost of which starts from 500 rubles. Some car enthusiasts go even further and install floor lighting. It can be useful if you urgently need to find some fallen thing in the dark.
Floor lighting is especially useful when the driver drops something in the dark

Original tuning Lada Priora hatchback
You can improve the external and internal design of your own car at minimal cost. The purchase of modified elements for the body and interior, unique optics can be carried out from private sellers and from official dealers.
At the same time, for the modern Lada Priora hatchback tuning you can do it yourself. It is only important to choose reliable products and perform high-quality work on their installation.
External car tuning: what elements can successfully complement the exterior?
It’s best to start tuning a Priora hatchback by choosing bumpers and fenders. When purchasing, you need to focus on the required update: the creation of an executive or sports type of transport.
The first type of modification refers to the installation of modern elements with smooth transitions without sharp lines. Solid design is achieved through the installation of new and improved components.
Sports tuning of the Priora hatchback involves more design options. For example, front bumpers with a combination of a radiator grille and an air intake are considered the most popular.
Rear bumpers with a sloping lower part will also be an excellent addition to the sporty modification of the Priora. And the side wings with air intakes or small headlights will highlight the overall concept.
Models on which eyelash extensions have been installed look attractive. They are mounted above the headlights, making them narrower and giving the exterior an aggressive look. Eyelashes allow you to hide the transition from the hood to the headlights and solve the problem of large gaps.
Photo tuning of the Priora hatchback from different angles will help you see how advantageous a car looks with such additions. The side view is especially important to fully appreciate the exterior upgrades.
There is also a more budget option for updating the design. To carry it out, you can buy a new radiator grille and install additional headlights in the side mirror housing. This tuning of the Priora hatchback is also done with your own hands. You just need to take into account the rules for supplying wires and connecting them to the fuse box.
Popular ways to update a car interior
A simple option for adding interior lighting is to install lighting. The basic configuration of the model does not include a rear seat lamp, so it can be additionally installed in the roof covering. It is recommended to trust specialists for special work on internal improvement. Quite interesting and more expensive for the Lada Priora is the hatchback tuning, which includes:
1. Installation of LED strip under the front panel.
2. Installation of the driver's armrest.
3. Change of seat upholstery or installation of new modern chairs.
4. Improvement of the front panel with new trim and new elements.
5. Changing the steering wheel to a more comfortable and attractive one.
Tuning the Priora hatchback is considered stylish, as it allows you to successfully combine the colors of the body and interior trim. Recommended seat materials are automotive fabric or leather.
The new plastic that is installed must have standard parameters for a car, so before ordering the element it is worth taking accurate measurements. Installation should be carried out under the supervision of a specialist or entrusted to specialists.
A separate type of addition to the car interior is the installation of new speakers or an acoustic shelf. Tuning the trunk can also improve the attractive Priora hatchback. You can build into the compartment not only speakers, but also lighting, and equip a special place for a spare tire. The development of improvement drawings must be carried out without fail.
Any of the above work can be carried out in a specialized workshop. If you have sufficient experience in repairing and restoring vehicles for the Lada Priora hatchback, tuning can be performed by the owner himself.
You just need to purchase high-quality stylish elements and carry out the preparation correctly. Accurate execution will allow you to update your personal car in a practical and modern way.

Lighting system
First of all, the headlights are modified:
- replacement of standard lamps. Initially, Priora is equipped with conventional halogen incandescent lamps, which cannot boast of either particular brightness or long service life. Therefore, instead of them, drivers install more durable and brighter LED bulbs;
- replacing lenses in headlights. Usually new lenses come with xenon illumination. On the one hand, it looks very beautiful. On the other hand, too bright headlights may raise questions among traffic police officers. Therefore, car owners prefer not to take risks, and after installing new lenses, they darken them slightly using special sprays that can be purchased at the same store.
Trunk
Many people prefer to install speakers complete with a subwoofer in the trunk. This is done with both sedans and hatchbacks. And this is the most preferred option for lovers of powerful sound. There is only one problem: it will be impossible to use the trunk for its intended purpose. There simply won't be any room left in it.
Powerful audio systems are installed in the trunks of both hatchbacks and sedans
Not everyone is ready to make such sacrifices. Therefore, instead of powerful audio systems, LED lighting made from the strips mentioned above is often installed in the trunk. This is a very common phenomenon, because the standard lighting in the trunk and rear parcel shelf has never been bright.

The low landing of this Priora immediately catches your eye.
The bumpers and sills of this hatchback are one of the “I am a robot” kits
This hatchback sits very low and has a small plastic spoiler at the rear.
The combination of orange and black colors creates a very bright contrast that emphasizes the individuality of the car.
Some hatchback owners install an additional spoiler above the rear window
On sedans, the design of the front doors is often changed so that they move up
The color of the spoiler matches the color of the sedan, so the spoiler is perceived as a single whole with the car
Another contrasting two-tone low-slung sedan
Sometimes very high spoilers made of carbon fiber are installed on sedans
This sedan has a massive plastic spoiler and the doors open upwards.
So, the car owner is quite capable of changing the appearance of the Priora and making the car more beautiful. This rule applies to both sedans and hatchbacks. The main thing in this matter is a sense of proportion. Without it, the car can turn into a misunderstanding on wheels.
Tuning Lada Priora
Lada Priora car is one of the most modern developments in the domestic automobile industry. The factory model of the car has a very attractive appearance, the interior is in no way inferior to budget foreign cars, and the technical characteristics of the car are also at a very high European level.
However, for a Russian motorist, the factory equipment of the car is often not enough. Many owners of Lada Priora cars (be it a sedan, hatchback, coupe or station wagon) opt for cosmetic tuning: window tinting, body kit, replacement of disks, but there are also those who boost the engine and improve the technical parameters of the Priora in every possible way.
When installing a body kit on a Lada Priora , as a rule, bumpers made of ABC plastic are installed. Often the rear bumper has a raised edge towards the overhang, which improves air flow and makes the appearance more attractive.
The front bumper is usually made monolithic with a radiator grille. It has mounts for fog lights, and the shape of the air intake should keep the engine cool as much as possible while driving. This is why many people install a mesh air intake.
Also on sale you can find chrome mesh for the bumper and radiator grille. This mesh gives the car a much more expensive and solid appearance.
Many owners very often do tuning of Lada Priora headlights. For this purpose, special eyelashes are sold, which are quite inexpensive and can be installed without any problems with your own hands.
The choice of car thresholds also needs to be approached as carefully as possible. Here every car enthusiast makes a purchase of those thresholds that suit his taste. It should only be said that it is not recommended to buy thresholds of large sizes, since they, as a rule, are not very durable.
The spoiler on the Lada Priora car is a separate matter. Here, as with choosing thresholds, you should choose something stylish, but not crazy. Modern spoilers have tilt adjustment, are made of aluminum and are installed on the trunk lid or roof of the car.
Most car enthusiasts who are interested in tuning Lada Priora install beautiful wheels on the car. Of course, it hardly makes sense to install super-expensive wheels from well-known European manufacturers, but choosing a model in the mid-price category is quite within the capabilities of the owner of a car for 300,000 rubles.
The cost of good wheels starts at 2,500 rubles, so in order to “put shoes on” your car, the owner will have to fork out about 10,000 rubles. It is best to do window tinting in specialized tuning centers, since many of them provide a guarantee on the quality of their work. Tinting at home can lead to unpleasant defects on the glass.
If you are not a car mechanic, then it is best to contact specialists for tuning the engine and other technical systems of the Lada Priora. Without any problems in the tuning center, from the standard 98 horsepower, the Priors will do as much as you see fit.

If you wish and have the money, you can install new foreign shock absorbers, reinforced brake discs, lightweight valves, sports camshafts, forged pistons, connecting rods, flywheels, compressors with an increase in power up to 100% and other elements that will provide the Lada Priora with better handling on the road, higher comfort and faster movement speed.
Below you will find a large number of photos of tuning Lada Priora found on the Internet. Most modified Priors are found in Dagestan, Samara and, of course, Moscow.
