LADA Priora- one of the most expensive and at the same time. The Priore is preferred by local motorists as it is considered a car that has stood the test of time. But deciding on the choice of a car brand is only half the battle. It is clear that we take Prioru. But here an "internal" dilemma arises: which of the Prior are we taking? And if your wallet quickly helps to determine the bundle, then everything is not so simple. Priora sedan or hatchback - which car deserves to be in your garage?
Getting to know closer
VAZ has been producing Priora since 2007. It was created on the platform of the notorious "ten" and inherited a lot from it. Prioru is called a machine for young people. She is praised for her good speed and ability to keep well on the road. There are complaints about the build quality and low cross-country rates are not suitable for everyone. Still a car.
External upgrade
In 2013, VAZ employees presented an updated version. She was equipped with a number of new options, improving technical capabilities. The car has also changed externally. The new Priora has modern daytime optics that turn on automatically. The bumper was slightly modified, and the grille on the radiator was made in the form of a mesh. LEDs are mounted in the rear lights and tumanki.
Salon soft-look
What changed ? There is something to say here. Designers used finishing materials atypical for VAZ, including soft-look - a new type of plastic that looks like expensive leather and at the same time tolerates external influences well.
A three-spoke steering wheel, a touchscreen display, more comfortable and higher seats with armrests - all this is a brand new Priora.
Motor data
Expanded for this car as well. The coolest of them is designed for 1.6 liters. Its power is 106 "horses", which is achieved thanks to the updated fuel injection system. With such a motor, the car accelerates to a hundred meters in 11 seconds and is ready to "give jazz" at a speed of 185 km / h and above. - 6.9 liters in a mixed version, and on the highway - 5 liters.
Front-wheel drive car with 5 manual transmissions.
True, if the driver's pillow is included in the basic kit, then you will have to pay extra for the pillow for the passenger.
Tell me, what is your body ...
The car is presented in four types of body, but the most popular versions are sedan and hatchback. There are also coupes that are not as popular.
Recall that - a body with a luggage compartment, which is linearly separated from the passenger compartment. This is the most common body type among passenger cars... But the hatchback has a smaller trunk and a shortened rear overhang.
Millimeter difference
Which is better - Lada Priora sedan or hatchback? Let's compare the dimensions. The Priora sedan is slightly longer than its competitor: 4350 mm versus 4210 for the hatchback. These models also differ in height: "grew" to 1435 mm, ahead of the sedan by 15 mm. But the width of the machine is equal, it is 1680 mm. The ground clearance (165 mm) and the track width of the front and rear wheels (1410 mm and 1380 mm, respectively) are also the same for both cars.
An interesting point: in terms of fuel consumption, the cars are almost identical.
Your luggage
As we said, sedan and hatchback differ in trunk capacity. In the case of Priora, it looks like this ... If the sedan takes 430 liters of cargo "on board", then the hatchback in the initial position is ready to accept only 360 liters. At the same time, however, in the hatchback it is possible to fold the rear sofa and thereby increase the capacity of the luggage compartment to 705 liters.
Sedan, sir
Priora sedan or hatchback - a trick choice. And in order to do it correctly, "for yourself", you should know all the ins and outs.
Interestingly, the Priora sedan is the first model of this line. Just Priora most of all outwardly resembles the progenitor of the "top ten", but the modernized salon, new motor and all sorts of modern "electric gadgets" indicate that the model has gone an order of magnitude higher. The sedan also has a softer suspension.
It turns out that the sedan has such a classic design. Of all the Priors, this car, perhaps, really looks more solid.
Overview of the car Lada Priora sedan:
Adrenaline hatchback
Prioru in the back of a hatchback began to be produced a year later than the sedan - in 2008. In comparison with the sedan, as motorists say, they look better in the hatchback taillights, rear wheel arch, body sides. In general, the "shortened" Priora is more generous with interesting maneuvers and offers an opportunity to increase the luggage compartment. They say that the Priora hatchback has a certain sporty character and therefore is in demand among adrenaline lovers.
Overview of the car Lada Priora in the back of a hatchback:
Drawing conclusions
For his money, Priora is a great car. Both in the city and on the dirt road he behaves purposefully. The body type has practically no effect on its "stuffing". That is, the presence of an air conditioner or electric power steering does not depend at all on whether you are driving in a sedan or in a hatchback.
The technical differences between a sedan and a hatchback are not that fundamental. And, therefore, when choosing a Lada Priora sedan or hatchback, be guided more. What do you like to taste? Roomy classic car or "sportsman" with trendy tail lights?
Also keep in mind that you will pay at least 345 thousand rubles for a sedan, and at least 354 thousand rubles are asked for a hatchback. The cost of luxury versions starts at 442 thousand rubles for a sedan and from 446 thousand rubles for a hatchback.
Let's compare some of the sizes of these modifications.
The length of the car in the sedan modification is 4350 mm, the curb height is 1420 mm with a wheel track of 1410 mm for the front wheels and 1380 mm for the rear.
Cars with this type of body are equipped with more soft suspension and has good balance (weight distribution) along the axes.
It is no coincidence that the word "hatchback" means English language"Shortened". The length of the Lada Priora car in this body is 4210 mm with a height of 1435 mm. The hatchback's shortened rear overhang makes it easy to park and operate. The good aerodynamic shape also contributes to this. At the same time, cars in both modifications have the same ground clearance (135 mm under the exhaust system and 170 mm under the power unit), overall width (1680 mm, excluding rear-view mirrors) and wheel track width of the rear and front wheels, weight specifications. Fuel consumption differs slightly.
Of the differences, I would also like to note the differences in the installation of child seats (UF or U).
Price
Prices for cars with different body shapes in the same configuration differ only slightly, although the hatchback is still slightly cheaper due to its shorter length.
This is where the differences between sedan and hatchback modifications for cars of this model end.
Reviews of the "Priora" hatchback are of interest to everyone who is considering the option of purchasing such a car. This is a domestically produced car manufactured at the AvtoVAZ plant. The production of this family of cars was opened in 2007 and continued until 2018. At present, Priora has given way to more topical offers from AvtoVAZ. In this article, we will talk about technical characteristics car, we give reviews of real people who owned it at one time or another.
Family "Priora"
Before moving on to reviews about the "Prior" hatchback, let's talk about the history of this domestic family of cars.
Initially, AvtoVAZ launched the production of Priora sedans. This happened back in 2007. The hatchback model first saw the light of day in February 2008. By the end of the year, an updated version with a station wagon body was presented, and six months later it was launched into mass production.
It should be noted that within the framework of the Priora model, AvtoVAZ produced a modification of the coupe in small series (it was a proprietary three-door hatchback), and a convertible was also being developed.
Since 2009, Priora has finally ousted Lada-110 family cars from the assembly line of the plant. At the same time, over the years, the car continued to be improved. For example, in 2011, the rear-view mirrors were replaced, front bumper and wheel... Moreover, new functions have appeared, for example, an 8-valve engine with a connecting rod-piston group, which was considered lightweight, appeared in the "Standard" package.
A large-scale restyling of the car was carried out in 2013. Due to this, it was possible to significantly increase its comfort, refresh its appearance, and make it safer. The designers have modernized it driving performance... In addition, the head optics were equipped with daytime running lights, a system of exchange rate stability appeared, noise insulation improved.
In 2014, Priora appeared with robotic box gear. It was the company's own development, the car was created on the basis of a classic 5-speed gearbox, using an electronic control unit and electric actuators.
Since 2015, all cars belonging to this family have been fitted with a 5-speed mechanical box gears, which had exactly the same shift layout as in the classic "Zhiguli", that is reverse gear turned on to the right and back.
In 2017, the millionth Priora was rolled off the assembly line, which became an important and significant achievement in the history of the company. Soon after that, it became known that from the summer of 2018 the Priora will officially be discontinued.
Family members
A variety of reviews about the "Priora" hatchback can be found. Someone is satisfied with the purchase, someone in the old fashioned scolds the domestic auto industry.
It is worth noting that in addition to the hatchback, several more cars were produced in this family, which were equally popular. For example, the sedan was originally created on the basis of the VAZ-2110 car. It was an elongated version.
The hatchback became a deep modernization of the VAZ-2112 with a modified body design, updated panels, a fundamentally different rear end and original lighting equipment. The hatchback, to which we have dedicated this article, remained in mass production from 2008 to 2015. It had a 1.6 liter engine, its power ranged from 81 to 106 Horse power... It is noteworthy that despite the existence of a common successor, which was actually considered "Lada Vesta", a replacement for the hatchback was never released, although many expected it.
Station wagons were created on the basis of the VAZ-2170. Their serial production has continued since the spring of 2009.
Differences from previous generation models
In reviews of the "Prior" hatchback, everyone noted its main differences from the "Lada 110", which was actually the predecessor of this family. "Priora", in fact, became an example of its deep restyling.
In total, about one thousand changes were made to the design, most of which were fundamental. During the assembly, about two thousand new parts were used. Interestingly, about the same was spent on creating a completely new model.
In reviews of the "Lada Priora" hatchback, car owners noted that the designers managed to correct the most gross mistakes made earlier in the design, when the so-called tenth "Lada" family was created. For example, the clear border between the body and the roof in the area, characteristic of the "dozen", has become a thing of the past. rear rack... According to most experts, it looked completely redundant and out of place in a small and wedge-shaped car. The result is a smoother transition. Gone are the ridiculous-shaped rear wheel arches, which had previously been criticized many times. They were replaced with more presentable and aesthetic ones. The strip of rear lights from one side to the second, which was considered completely meaningless for such a narrow and compact car, was also removed. Instead, only two lanterns were left, located on the sides of the trunk lid in a vertical plane. Visually, this made it possible to increase the width of the car. Errors in the proportioning of some plastic elements, sidewalls and patterns were eliminated, which made it possible to move away from the negative image, which was popularly dubbed "a pregnant antelope". At least that's why there was so much more positive feedback about the "Lada Priora" hatchback than about its predecessor.
Lighting technology and a spoiler built into the trunk lid have become more modern. It was also possible to improve the technologies for assembling mechanisms and assemblies, which halved the gaps between the body elements. As noted by experts, in general, the design of the entire car went back to the appearance of the "ten", which was created back in the 80s in accordance with the trend of biodesign that was fashionable at that time.
Italian specialists were involved in the design of the interior. A dashboard appeared with trip computer, armrest with niches for small items, silver console cover with an unusual oval clock. Among the shortcomings in the reviews of the Prior hatchback, car owners noted the small length of the front seat sleds, which made tall drivers and passengers feel uncomfortable (already with an increase of 175-180 centimeters). In addition, there was no full adjustment of the driver's seat, steering column could only be adjusted in height.
Powertrain and chassis
Special attention was paid to these components, since there were many complaints and dissatisfaction with the representatives of the previous Lada family.
The engine has been significantly upgraded. It is noteworthy that the main way of its improvement was the introduction of components foreign production instead of domestic ones, the production of which has not yet been established at the appropriate level.
Among other improvements and improvements, it should be noted vacuum amplifier large diameter brakes, reinforced clutch, gearbox drive mechanism with closed bearings.
In the chassis, the front suspension struts with barrel springs were modernized. Its scheme with forged levers that rest on diagonal jet thrust, currently looks outdated.
New shock absorbers were used during assembly rear suspension... Has become more efficient brake system, there was a gearless electric power steering. Rear brakes still remained drums. The manufacturer assured that their effectiveness would be sufficient during operation.
In terms of additional equipment the car was equipped with an alarm for remote control with immobilizer and audio preparation. Depending on the equipment, a full-fledged speaker system was installed in some models.
Also in luxury cars, rear and rear heating were installed. windshield, air conditioning with climate control function, rain and light sensor, heated front seats, electric lifters for all doors, parking sensors, heated mirrors and electric drive.
Safety system
In reviews of the "Priora" hatchback, increased attention was paid to the safety of the car.
For example, only in the "Lux" configuration, the car was equipped with airbags for the passenger sitting on front seat, and the driver. But the body was reinforced, which made it possible to significantly increase the so-called passive safety... The torsional rigidity of the body has increased significantly. Since 2008, luxury trim levels have included anti-lock braking system, front seat belt pretensioners, safe car parking system.
Based on independent crash tests carried out by reputable auto experts, the car received almost six points out of sixteen for a frontal impact and nine points for a side impact. This allowed him to claim two stars, and in the "Lux" configuration - three. This level of safety was quite comparable with the cars of Korean and American origin that were outdated by that time.
In 2008, after numerous dissatisfied reviews of the owners about the "Lada Priora" hatchback in terms of its safety, a large-scale modernization of the body was carried out in all modifications of this family. It received the unofficial name "Phase-2".
For many motorists it has become an important fact that Priora was initially positioned as a car that meets all environmental standards. In particular, Euro-5 for the European Union market and Euro-3 for the domestic market.
Specifications
In reviews of the technical characteristics of the "Priora" hatchback, users note that the car is in line with the declared price.
For example, a model with a 1.6-liter engine has a capacity of 106 horsepower. Maximum speed, to which the car can accelerate - 183 kilometers per hour. The car accelerates to one hundred kilometers per hour in eleven and a half seconds. She has a gasoline engine.
Consumption on the highway is 5.6 liters per hundred kilometers, and in the city - 8.9 liters. With combined driving, the approximate consumption is 6.8 liters per hundred kilometers.
By the car front-wheel drive... There are options with a mechanical and robotic gearbox.
Among other characteristics of the "Priora" hatchback in the reviews, the gasoline engine type, volume fuel tank- 43 liters.
Hatchback or sedan?
These two body styles were the most popular in the Priora model. At the same time, disputes about which body is better still continue to this day. Each option has its own supporters and opponents.
It is worth recalling that a sedan is a body with a luggage compartment, which is linearly separated from the passenger compartment. It is believed that this is the most common body type among passenger cars. The hatchback features a shortened rear overhang and a reduced trunk.
Quite a long time there have been disputes about which is better - "Priora" sedan or hatchback. In reviews, car owners are constantly trying to compare their dimensions in detail. The sedan is slightly longer than the competitor (4350 mm versus 4210). These models also differ in height: if the hatchback rises by 1435 mm, then the sedan is 15 mm lower. It is noteworthy that at the same time the cars have a completely equal width - 1680 mm. The ground clearance is also equal - 165 mm, the track width of the rear and front wheels is 1380 and 1410 mm, respectively.
The biggest difference, of course, is the boot capacity. In the case of the Priora, the sedan is able to accommodate 430 liters of cargo, and the hatchback - only 360. As you can see, the difference is quite significant - as much as seventy liters. However, in reviews of the Priora hatchback, its owners talk about a unique function that can significantly increase the capacity of the entire car. It is possible to fold the rear seats, in this case luggage compartment grows to 705 liters. And this is already a truly cargo volume.
To do right choice, you should know all the subtleties and nuances about both body types of this car. The sedan was the first to leave the factory assembly line, it is in this form that the car is more reminiscent of the "top ten", on the basis of which the "Priora" was made. Of course, it compares favorably with a new engine, a modernized interior, and a variety of modern improvements. In addition, the sedan compares favorably with a softer suspension.
In reviews of the Lada Priora hatchback, the owners claim that in comparison with the sedan, certain design elements look better in it. For example, rear wheel arch, taillights, body sides. "Priora", although it is shortened in comparison with the sedan, but is considered more generous in various attractive maneuvers, it is especially favorably distinguished by the ability to significantly increase the luggage compartment.
In reviews of the Priora hatchback car, a number of users claim that the car has a certain sporty character and character. Therefore, it is especially in demand among thrill-seekers.
Impressions of real owners
Those who are just picking up a car to their liking seek to learn more about it from those motorists who have traveled more than one hundred kilometers in this car. Reviews of the Priora hatchback car owners in this case are of great importance.
Most of the positive opinions about this car are based on the fact that it fully justifies itself. Of course, it does not reach the level of foreign economy class cars, but at the same time it costs quite affordable and real money, besides, it is cheap to maintain, spare parts for it can be easily found in a wide range.
In reviews of the "Priora" hatchback (VAZ-2172), the owners claim that it has a fairly roomy and comfortable lounge, modern appearance. The car itself is quite tall, which allows it to easily climb onto curbs, overcome holes, which is very important given the specifics of domestic roads.
When driving, no difficulties arise even for an inexperienced driver: everything is at hand, the speeds are switched without unnecessary effort, the best view possible. The car accelerates well on the track, maintains a sufficiently high speed, besides, it stands out for its relatively economical fuel consumption.
Some reviews from real owners about "Priora" hatchback it is even called the most successful domestic model in many recent years. The only drawback that everyone, without exception, notices, is the need to fix the interior trim with high quality immediately after purchase and maximize sound insulation. Praise her for its attractive design and appearance, as well as economy, especially when you have to move around the city.
The decisive factor for many is the fact that the machine is as convenient as possible in operation and control. There is nothing superfluous, everything is only the most necessary. Staffed on-board computer allows you to control the maximum number of parameters when the car is moving. There is a place for installing an audio-video center with a rear-view camera. There is a convenient and reliable power steering. The engine runs smoothly and without interruptions, in the owners' reviews of the Priora hatchback car, everyone separately mentions that the car is easy to maintain, spare parts for it are inexpensive, and they can be easily purchased everywhere.
Compared to other VAZ models, the trunk pleasantly surprises with its impressive dimensions, even if you decide to opt for a hatchback. If necessary, you can even place a bicycle, fishing tackle or a baby carriage in it.
Negative
At the same time, it should be admitted that there are a lot of negative reviews about the Priora hatchback car. Individual owners do not manage to find any advantages in it at all. They had virtually no driving pleasure. Everything in the car was constantly noisy, creaking and breaking, as a result the owners of even new cars had to become regular customers of repair shops.
In reviews and reviews of the Prior hatchback, drivers who have driven at least a little bit of any foreign car (no matter what year of manufacture) declare that the sample of the domestic auto industry does not give even the slightest idea of the comfort that the driver and passengers should feel in the car ... As a result, the only plus is that the car is really inexpensive.
Judging by the reviews and photos about the "Prior" hatchback, the car really looks quite attractive outwardly, but the fact that it starts to give out errors in operation within a few months after operation, moreover, it was bought in the salon, cannot but upset. And almost the overwhelming number of owners is faced with such a situation. As a result, already in new car you constantly have to invest in repairs. Although the parts are really relatively inexpensive and always available, it still costs a pretty penny.
As a result, many people decide to opt for an old foreign car rather than a new one. domestic car, assuring that they are satisfied after that.
Output
Drawing conclusions, it can be argued that, in general, "Priora" - optimal car for the money that is asked for it. She feels quite confident in the city and on a dirt road, while the type of her body on the very "filling" has practically no effect.
In principle, the technical differences between a hatchback and a sedan are not at all fundamental. Therefore, when choosing between one type of body or another, you can focus solely on your taste preferences and personal preferences. Some people prefer the classic roomy car, while others prefer the trendy and more modern model with attractive taillights.
The price of the hatchback and sedan also differs slightly. In the first version, the car will cost you 10-20 thousand rubles more, depending on the year of manufacture and the equipment you choose.
Which is better: Kalina or Priora?
For many years now, journalists, experts and ordinary car owners have been arguing about which of these cars is better. One idea on this score has not yet emerged. Let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of these cars and form our own worldview about such brilliant examples of the Russian car industry. And, perhaps, we will decide which is better - Kalina or Priora, especially since many Russians prefer these particular cars. If you are hesitant about cars produced in Russia, then, of course, you can get a car from the USA or Europe, but in any case, you need to know about what the Russian car industry has achieved.
Useful e05-Which is better, a sedan or a hatchback?
Let's move on to a specific analysis. Appearance Viburnum appears to be nicer and rounder. But far from sensation that Lada Priora this is actually a 10 after re-styling, which looks a little more aggressive than its opponent. Both the one and the other have practically the same mass (1080/1088 kg), but power units different ones are installed on them. The Lada Priora's motor is stronger, its engine volume is 1.6 liters. (Lada Kalina has 1.4 liters), and its power is 100 hp. (Kalina has 10 hp less). The number of revolutions of the Priora, of course, is higher - up to 5600 rpm (5250 rpm for Kalina). Also, with a visual examination, you can immediately note the differences in ground clearance: Lada Kalina is higher (160 mm), and Priora, respectively, is inferior (only 135 mm). So, which is better - Kalina or Priora? And yet, in terms of power, we would give preference to the second car.
Now let's look at the cars through the eyes of car owners and test them. The first thing that can be said outright about the Prior is the difficulty with the locks on the doors. They definitely need to be tuned, since the door cannot be closed without a pop. In Kalina, everything is fine in this matter, the doors open and lock simply and smoothly, like a refrigerator. Surprisingly, Kalina's interior seems a little more capacious. The driver is not cramped in it. Thanks to the highest roof, tall people can comfortably sit here. You can't say the same about Priora. After the opponent, it seems cramped, the passenger's legs practically dig into the driver's seat, well, it is quite problematic to fit in the back seat if you are tall or obese. If at the moment the question of which is better - Kalina or Priora, the 1st car would have won.
As for the price, in this respect they are in approximately the same sector. The cost for Priora and Kalina is fully available to Russian consumers.
Summing up the result, we can say that Lada Kalina is a little more spacious, more comfortable. All the mechanisms responsible for the movement of the seats work correctly and without problems. If you look closely at the station wagon version, you can relax without thinking about space. With regard to Lada Priora, not everything is completely accurate. This car rear seats and the trunk are actually not suitable for outdoor activities (we are currently talking about a car), but in fairness it should be noted that the unit is very amusing. The engine accelerates pretty hard. And Kalina has good management. The steering wheels on these two machines turn simply, without undue effort.
And in conclusion, I would like to say that AvtoVAZ has made good progress in the development of comfortable and decent cars... And what is better - Kalina or Priora, it is up to consumers to decide. Each model has its own client who will rightfully appreciate all its advantages.
