VAZ 2114 - russian hatchback, which came to replace the discontinued nine. The changes affected not only the outer parts of the body (new headlights, hood, bumpers, moldings, radiator grille), but also the interior.
Sports style VAZ 2114
Modern appearance the VAZ 2114 car is given moldings along all the sides, a spoiler with a brake light and door sills. The external changes of the VAZ 2114 justify themselves, endowing the car with excellent aerodynamic qualities, as well as stability on the road even at high speeds. Bumpers, moldings and other attachments are kept in one colors with a body, or made in black, which makes the VAZ 2114 model similar to foreign cars and creates an opportunity for buyers to choose the design of the car's exterior.
For its appearance, the car fell in love with people engaged in tuning. And I fell in love due to the fact that, at low cost, the VAZ 2114 can be made individual, standing out from the general traffic flow.
Technical data VAZ 2114
As can be seen from the table with the technical characteristics of the VAZ 2114, the difference with the models of its class lies only in the dimensions of the body. An eight-valve 1.6-liter engine is installed on many AvtoVAZ models, so you should not expect any special characteristics. The drive is front-wheel drive, the box is like everyone else's, so to speak, standard. The difference between the hatchback and sedans lies in the volume of the trunk, which increases with the rear seat backs folded. It makes no sense to compare the performance of the VAZ 2114 with the classics - aerodynamics due to smoother body lines makes the car easier to drive. Well, the rest of the VAZ 2114 is ordinary russian car that wins the hearts of car enthusiasts for its looks.

VAZ 2114 - The most popular domestic car... The fourteenth replaced the VAZ 2109. Changes were made to both the appearance of the body and the interior.
Sports style VAZ 2114
The sporty appearance is achieved by the moldings installed on the body along all the sides of the car, a spoiler and decorative sills.
The car has good technical characteristics, holds the track well, enters corners well even at high speed compared to the classic model, and even with its predecessor 2109.
VAZ 2114 is in good demand among fans of domestic tuning. A simple body structure and relatively cheap maintenance makes it possible to experiment and become individual in the gray stream of cars.
Specifications VAZ 2114
Conventional 4-cylinder 8 valve motor You will not surprise anyone, so you should not expect any special characteristics. Front-wheel drive, standard gearbox, drum and disc brakes. The difference between the hatchback and sedans lies in the volume of the trunk, which increases with the rear seat backs folded. The body shape in our case does not affect the dynamics. It makes no sense to compare the performance of the VAZ 2114 with the classics - aerodynamics due to smoother and more modern body lines makes the car easier to drive. Well, the rest of the VAZ 2114 is an ordinary Russian car, which is popular with many residents of the country and is desirable in every family. Most of the copies are injector, since 2011 it is installed electronic pedal gas - e-gas

The body geometry of the VAZ 2114 is the most important indicator of its condition. Today, cars of the native car industry are no less popular than foreign cars. It is recommended that when buying a used car, pay attention first of all to the condition of the body. So knowledge about its geometric dimensions helps in this case.
The body of the fourteenth model and its features
ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!
We are talking about a car assembled on a standard VAZ platform. The car is 5-door with front-wheel drive, with a hatchback body type. Ahead, and in general, the shape of the car's frame is distinguished by good AED * characteristics and a modern, practical design.
AED * - aerodynamic
STPD * - power windows
Thanks to the numerous options used by the manufacturer, the operation of the machine is quite comfortable. We can say that there is no extra function or detail on the fourteenth model, and the body is made in a unique style. A new design of the front optics, a different radiator grille, a different hood and moldings - all this was fully implemented domestic auto industry with the exit of VAZ 2114.
The interior is also full of innovation. The steering column is adjustable, although the design of the "steering wheel" as a whole does not differ from the appearance of analogs (installed from the "dozen"). The heater and front STPDs * received a new design.
Initially, the fourteenth model passes into the category of cars of a new class, as close as possible to foreign cars. On the other hand, 2114 still remains folk cars corresponding to the individual needs of the owner. If it occurs to the motorist to carry out tuning, then the Vaz 2114 turns into a real sports car, distinguished by an expressive body kit and rapid body lines.
Note. On the Lada, already in 2007, they began to install power unit 1.6 l. Its peculiarity was that it fully met the Euro-3 standards, which at the time of the car's release was the only criterion in the world for environmental compliance.
As for the main standard size, then the body length of the VAZ 2114 is 4006 mm. Despite the fact that this is a hatchback, the luggage compartment turned out to be quite voluminous - 330 liters. If the rear seats are folded down, the trunk will be twice as large.
Trying to please the consumer, the manufacturer has introduced many different original bodywork elements. These were plastic-type body kits, moldings, etc. In addition, the design of the front optics was changed, as mentioned. On the fourteenth model, there are already four headlights in front.
It is the car body that should be considered separately, since it is a real example of design art. As in other VAZ models, the body parts of the VAZ 2114 are connected to each other either by welding or by bolts. The body is well treated with anticorrosive material, even in the most inaccessible places.
Note. Of course, this does not mean at all that the owner of the fourteenth model should not carry out additional processing. On the contrary, it will only increase the endurance of the body, which can serve without problems for many years.
The main difference between the body of the fourteenth model and its counterparts is the faceted shape. This gives the car, of course, a lot of originality, but this shape has a negative effect on the condition of the body. The fact is that it is easier for corrosion to penetrate into the hollow places of the frame. The front pillars are especially often affected on the VAZ 2114.
The bumpers on the VAZ 2114 are plastic, but they are reinforced with aluminum beams. The front fenders are easily removable.
Vaz 2114, as you know, is a successful modification of the 13th model car. If on that version the changes in body parts are insignificant, then on the fourteenth model everything is much more serious. The 13th model, moreover, is made in a 3-door version. It is also interesting that the 14th model appeared before the 13th.
Another modification of this series is the 15th model. This is already a 4-door sedan, which replaced the 99th. Here, the novelty of the body immediately catches the eye: a new roof, modified optics in front and rear, bumpers in body color, a spoiler on the trunk and much more.
Many owners of the 14th model, driving around in a car for many years, do not even suspect how important the correct body geometry can be. But, in reality, this is the most important factor on which the operational and driving performance car. Not knowing what the body geometry is in general, it will not be possible to test it. In addition, it will be useful to know what the violation of the geometry size affects, in what cases it changes, etc.
Geometry and what it is
Geometry in the automotive industry is usually called the "integrity" of dimensions between the main points of the body, which are standardly set by the manufacturer. This is the most flawless position of all elements. If any discrepancy is observed, the work of the components and mechanisms will no longer move in the right direction, since they are attached directly to various body parts. Needless to say, this would have an extremely negative impact on security.
Under the word body geometry on hatchbacks, it is customary to understand the following distances:
- Between specific points of doorways (diagonals, height and width);
- Between the points of the bonnet and the engine compartment.
On sedans, these indicators are added to the standard body dimensions of the trunk for the VAZ 2114.
The most important experts call the distance between the control points of body parts associated with components and mechanisms. running system... For example, these are the distances between spars or glasses.
The accuracy of the geometric dimensions will have a positive effect on additional parameters, which are no less important in terms of improving the comfort of driving characteristics and their safety. How does geometry violation appear?
Why does the body geometry change, and how is the check carried out
The causes of body damage are not always road accidents. If the owner often drives on uneven roads, and various kinds of obstacles periodically surface on his way, changes in the geometry of the car body will have to wait soon.
Of no less importance is, of course, the degree of damage that entails a change in size. The more a certain part is deformed, the more the geometry of the body as a whole changes.
Body conformity check geometrical dimensions Is a very important component that the owner vehicle is not always able to carry out independently. The fact is that changes may not be immediately noticeable, at first glance. The car body tends to deform gradually, without "signaling" about it.
Today, most often the check is carried out before buying a car, especially if it is with high mileage... A competently performed procedure helps to avoid many problems, to find out whether the car has been in an accident, what is the degree of deformation of various parts, and so on.
Sometimes, the body geometry is checked for another purpose: to determine the quality of the body repair, about which the seller informs the buyer in advance. Here you need to be very careful, since a beautiful appearance does not always indicate the literacy of restoration work. It is extremely difficult to restore a car correctly after an accident, and only specialists are able to cope with this business well.
Note. Restoration of body geometry may imply full replacement parts or their pulling on the slipway by cold and hot methods.
You can also check the condition of the body at home, with only an ordinary tape measure. It is best to measure the main distances first, such as the diagonals.
If you need to get more accurate information, then you need to contact the service station. Here, compliance will be checked on special equipment. We note right away that the procedure is not cheap, but it will pay off quite well if you carry out work in a high-quality service station. The fact is that in frequent cases, other problems of the car are determined by the geometry of the body. For example, it happens that, even with new chassis parts, the camber and toe adjustment parameters are no longer adjusted. In this case, the root cause is found, after which the problem is corrected.
For the analysis of body damage at the service station, high-tech equipment is used, which is characterized by the highest accuracy. Such equipment rarely makes mistakes, and with its help wizards not only measure standard distances, but also offer several options for correcting details.
The stand is one of the modern devices for checking the condition of the body. Here the car is secured in a semi-collapsible state, attached and cladding elements are dismantled from it without fail to make it easier to determine the state of the body from the inside.
Note. It is often necessary to dismantle the undercarriage.
The modern system for checking a car at the stand involves the use of electronic sensors installed in certain areas. They give complete picture body conditions, transmit the body position in 3-dimensional space to the host computer. After the wizard starts the diagnostics, all the necessary distance data is displayed on the screen.
The same equipment is used to restore the body geometry of the fourteenth model. It is clear that such repairs are carried out much more accurately and competently than manual ones.
The main signs of violations
- Doors of the 14th model do not close properly? This is the first sign that the body is deformed. First of all, you will need to check the doors for subsidence. If everything is in order with this, then there is a deformation of the struts or other body elements;
- Another, more serious and dangerous feature of the violation of the body of the 14th model is the unstable behavior of the autocar on the road. This leads to a greater risk of an accident when trying to overtake other cars at speed or when trying to make other maneuvers.
A car with a deformed body is thrown to the sides, it vibrates, it can be difficult to hold the steering wheel at high speed. First of all, you will need to check undercarriage, because maybe the problem lies elsewhere. If everything is fine with the suspension, then there is already a deformation of the body, expressed in violation of the geometry of the side members, glasses, etc.
We hope that the information provided here will help you to correctly measure the geometry of the body of the fourteenth model and understand its importance. Photos - materials posted in the article are useful information... After the appropriate measurements have been taken, the question of repairing some body parts that have undergone deformation may arise. In this case, we recommend that you study step by step instructions do-it-yourself recovery, published on our website.
When choosing a car, each buyer first of all studies the technical characteristics of models that are potentially attractive to him.
It cannot be said that the VAZ 2114 has exemplary technical characteristics, but its power, consumption and other parameters are quite good, taking into account the cost of the car itself and the cost of its repair, revision. Add to that a well-designed exterior and you have a solid youth car that gives a lot but requires little from the owner.
A bit of history
In the period from 1980 to 1984, the AvtoVAZ company worked closely enough with the giant of the modern automotive industry - the Porsche company.
At that time, joint work was underway on the VAZ 2108 model. Already in the period from 1987 to 1991, the companies began work on a new car - the VAZ 2110 with a 1.5-liter engine.
Despite the cooperation agreement regarding only these two models, the specialists did not miss the opportunity to work on the entire line being developed at that time. This also applied to the VAZ 2109 model, which became the heir to the modern fourteenth.
Not everyone knows about this fact of cooperation with a German company, which was already considered an example of the automotive industry. But it was this that served as a springboard for the creation of reliable and very interesting domestic cars.
The large-scale production of the successor to the Russian-German "nine" in the person of VAZ 2114 began in 2003. It is noteworthy that first in 2001, the VAZ 2115 appeared, and in 2004 - the VAZ 2113.
According to the studies, VAZ 2114 is included in the list of the most common models in Russia.
Differences from the "nine"
There are not so many differences between the VAZ 2114 and the VAZ 2109 in terms of the body. The updated car received new ones:
- Front part of the body;
- New lens shape;
- New hood;
- Another radiator grill;
- Improved quality of plastic on bumpers;
- Spoiler;
- Moldings;
- Door sills.
There were much more changes inside. But in many respects the difference is determined by the class of the car, that is, its equipment. For the VAZ 2114, three equipment options were provided - Standard, Norma and Lux.
So what has changed inside?
- There is a new dashboard with a dashboard without an upper glove compartment. The Lux configuration has a recessed part. There is a pair of cup holders on the lid of the lower glove compartment.
- The standard and luxury trim levels provide for the presence of electric windows.
- The steering wheel is adjustable in tilt angle. It is noteworthy, but the steering wheel of the VAZ 2114 and steering column taken from dozens.
- Seat belt fasteners are also taken from a dozen.
- The dashboard is used from the fifteenth VAZ model.
- An adjustable interior lighting flashlight is located on the ceiling.
- In the maximum configuration, it has a full on-board computer.
- The stove has become more powerful, but this has increased the noise level.
Key Benefits
It is obvious that the fourteenth model from AvtoVAZ is not as simple as it seems at first glance. Otherwise, it simply would not have turned out to be so popular and in demand.
Here are some of the most significant benefits.
- Excellent aerodynamics. Considering the power of the engines and the aerodynamic capabilities of the body, this is one of the best models designed for high-speed driving. Do a chip tune to increase the power of the engine or arrange for more serious modifications to the engine, and you can extract some decent horsepower. In this case, the resource of the motor will not be particularly affected.
- Great looks. Obviously, the VAZ 2114 looks much more interesting and attractive than the nine. At the same time, the model is literally created for tuning. It is not necessary to increase the power. The original body kit - and you are the star of the road. Only in everything you need to know when to stop, so as not to turn real tuning into a collective farm.
- Youth orientation. The younger generation of drivers was hardly very interested in sevens, tens or sixes from AvtoVAZ. Yes, they were cheap and they were bought more often due to the lack of alternatives. But with the advent of the VAZ 2114, many realized that a beautiful, domestic car was finally released, which looks no worse than imported sports-looking counterparts. At the same time, in terms of prices, they could not even compete with the fourteenth.
- Possibility of improvements. Until now, for the VAZ 2114, despite the withdrawal of the model from production, many elements are available for external and internal tuning. Body kits, linings, moldings, spoilers, seats, optics - everything to your taste and wallet. What is most interesting, for little money, you can organize a large-scale revision by changing standard VAZ 2114 beyond recognition.
Options
Now let's talk about the main parameters of the VAZ 2114 model.
Let's face it, the fourteenth was lucky because of the manufacturer's policies. The fact is that the firstborn in the series was the VAZ 2115 model, which turned out to be the very first pancake lump.
Based on the mistakes made for the fifteenth innovations and using the time-tested features of the nine, it was possible to create a complete and one of the most successful cars in the history of AvtoVAZ - VAZ 2114.

Engine |
What engines do they put on this model? Initially, the car came out with a 1.5-liter 8-valve engine. In 2007, the model switched to a 1.6-liter engine with 16 valves. The capacity was increased only in 2009 - from 77 initial Horse power up to 89 hp. The gearbox is five-speed, and it has been improved. In 2010, the VAZ 2114 received an engine from Priora with a capacity of 98 horsepower and this was the last significant revision of the engines for the model. As for fuel consumption, it is 7 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway and about 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers in the city. |
How good in terms of technical characteristics is this car, you judge. Everyone has their own ideas about a good car. We tried to tell you in detail about what the VAZ 2114 is.
Many believe that the time of the fourteenth model is already over, and its successor in the person of Priora clearly proves this. But is it really so? If we compare these two models, will the Priora really be able to surpass its predecessor? A large number of experts will objectively prove that it is not.
Yes, the Priora is a more modern, improved car. But is it enough? We think that the domestic auto industry has much to strive for.
VAZ-2114, after leaving the assembly line, has earned great popularity among motorists in the CIS countries. The car was budgetary, thus becoming affordable to many. "Fourteen" came to replace the no less popular at that time VAZ-2109. The changes affected not only the interior, but the entire car as a whole.
The history of the car
"Lada 2114" is a hatchback, produced by the Volzhsky Automobile Plant, with five doors. The car became an updated model of the VAZ-2109 and continued its production under the name "Samara-2". Externally, the model differs from its predecessors in the design of a new front end of the body, narrower headlights, a new hood and bumpers, as well as a new interior with a Euro panel.
The car entered serial production in 2003. The Lada 2114 engine has retained the same 4-cylinder 8-valve 1.5-liter, which has proven itself on the positive side.
In 2007, the car undergoes some changes, most of the engine compartment. A new 1.6-liter eight-valve engine is installed. Also, the catalyst began to be installed next to the engine, and a plastic case is attached to the engine itself. The dashboard has also been changed. They installed an on-board computer and removed the glove compartment in the upper part, and the panel itself is made of tougher plastic.
In 2010, the Super-Auto company improved the Lada 2114 model. A new 16-valve engine from Priora was installed. Suspension changes and new seats are also being introduced, thanks to a collaboration with Recaro.

The characteristics of the Lada 2114 model differ significantly from their predecessor. The car began to accelerate more dynamically (in 13 seconds to 100 km / h). Fuel consumption 7-7.8 l / 100 km. The release of the model ended back in 2013, so buying a car of a new state is almost impossible. On average, the price of a used car is 200,000 rubles.
Cooperation with "Super-Auto"
Every domestic car enthusiast would like to buy a Russian car with the revision of some parts of the car. The company "Super-Auto" in 2011 provided such an opportunity. The Lada 2114 engine has not just an improved or modified one, but a new one from Priora. The car's suspension was also replaced: struts, drums and brakes. In the cabin, the front seats have been replaced. Thanks to the "prior" stands, the vehicle's ground clearance increased by 5 mm. At the time of the release of the car, the cost was 310,000 rubles.
The acceleration dynamics of the car with the new engine has increased significantly (11 s). The average fuel consumption was 7.6 l / 100 km.
Reviews about the car
After analyzing the reviews of car owners, the following conclusions can be drawn. Externally, the car looks old-fashioned when compared with the new models from the Lada campaign. On back seat the car has very little space, tall people will clearly be uncomfortable. Even an inexperienced owner can figure out the engine compartment, everything is in its place.
The undercarriage of the machine will last a long time with careful use. Spare parts for the car are available in the price. The suspension is very stiff, even if installed from the "Priora". There is practically no noise insulation in the car, extraneous sounds are constantly heard, so many owners buy additional noise insulation sheets and glue the car body. The gaps of the car body are simply disgusting, you can stick your index finger in some parts.
The lack of air conditioning is detrimental, especially in the summer season. In general, the car looks much better compared to the VAZ-2109. Seat adjustment is not the most successful, it is very difficult for a beginner to adjust the seats to their configuration. For such a low cost, you can close your eyes to all the shortcomings. Russian production, especially when it comes to Lada cars. VAZ 2114 has become a popular car, especially among the younger generation.
The main "sores" of the car
The car has a lot of sores, and if you don't follow the car right away, it will last you very little time. First of all, the car body is the most weakness the fourteenth family. It starts to rot after 3 years after the car left the assembly line. Particular attention must be paid to the side skirts, wheel arches, boot lids and bonnet. You can deal with this problem. Many owners treat the body with an anti-corrosion coating.
Antifreeze leakage is another car problem. Carefully monitor the hose clamps and the lid of the antifreeze filling tank. Timely it is necessary to tighten all hose connections with clamps. The "handbrake" can often be loosened or not work at all, the problem is solved by replacing the cable.
Headlight bulbs burn out almost every year. Therefore, it will be useful to carry spare lamps with you so as not to find yourself in an unpleasant situation. It is necessary to pay special attention to the condition of the brake pads, especially before preparing for winter. Another characteristic disease of this car is in the cabin - after a few years of operation, the ceiling sags. It is necessary to pay attention to the floor of the car, often water accumulates there, which can lead to corrosion.
Lowriders movement
The Low Ryder movement originated 60 years ago in the United States. In Russia, it has only now become relevant for motorists, especially popular with young people. "Low Riding" is an understatement of the car's suspension, the lower the car "lies", the better.
