How to install a trunk on a Priora?

Roof rack for Lada Priora sedan and hatchback, installation of roof rails

The cargo capabilities of the VAZ 2171 station wagons are enormous.
And here there is a significant advantage not only in the volume of the trunk, but also in the presence of rails (cradles, arches) on the roof. The Priora sedan (VAZ 2170) and hatchback (VAZ 2172) are not equipped with roof rails from the factory, but you can install them yourself. There are two ways to place a roof rack on a Priora:

install roof rails (along the roof), as on a station wagon;
install arches across the roof.

1. If models for the VAZ 2170, 2172 are not on sale, consider the roof rails from the VAZ 2110, 2112 (the roof and doors of the 10 are the same as the Priora). Accordingly, the installation is performed in the same way. First, the ceiling lining is removed, after which we check the presence of roof reinforcements. If the holes for attaching the rails do not fit into them, you will have to modify them. To strengthen the roof, we glue a sheet of metal (2 mm thick and 80x100 mm in size) with Moment epoxy glue. Don't forget to use rubber gaskets to avoid damaging the paintwork.

For fans of Priora tuning, there are Priora decorative roof rails, which are not suitable for carrying cargo. These accessories are simply glued to the roof using 2-sided tape.

2. Arches on the roof. Unlike roof rails, they are the most common and are much easier to find on sale. The disadvantage of this design over the first is that they are noisier at speed.

The installation of such arches is universal and is shown in the video. Remember to use spacers between the body and the mounts.

In terms of trunk volume, the sedan is located between a hatchback and a station wagon.

Let us remind you that this family is presented on the market in three different bodies:

sedan;
hatchback;
station wagon

Now let's look at the numbers. According to the manufacturer, the trunk of a Priora with a sedan body can be placed between a hatchback and a station wagon in terms of volume. Its volume is 430 liters. This is a very good indicator for cars of this class.

The hatchback's trunk is the least spacious. Its volume, according to the manufacturer, is inferior to the sedan and is only 306 liters. However, there are two very important points here. Firstly, the large rear door allows you to load much more cargo into the car than can be placed in the trunk of a sedan.

In addition, with the rear seats folded down, the luggage space of the Priora with a hatchback body increases to a very respectable 705 liters. Agree, it is quite possible to place here, for example, a washing machine, which, even if you wanted to, cannot be stuffed into a sedan. The rear seat folds down quite simply, but the designers have not been able to come up with a solution that allows it to be laid flush with the floor. In addition, the wheel arches take up some luggage space. Nevertheless, the numbers, compared to other classmates, are quite decent.

Well, the most spacious in the Priora family is, of course, the station wagon model. The trunk volume here is 444 liters. Naturally, the rear seats can also be folded down. In this case, the volume of the luggage compartment increases to 777 liters. Add here a large rear door - and you will get the most optimal option for transporting various cargo, including quite large ones, among all Priora cars.

As you can see, the sedan, all other things being equal, is practically not inferior to the station wagon in terms of trunk volume in liters. At the same time, it is also significantly ahead of the hatchback. But as soon as you fold down the rear seats, the picture completely changes. The station wagon continues to confidently hold the lead, while the hatchback is already ahead of the sedan.

When choosing a Priora, this point is also worth taking into account. If you are not going to often transport bulky cargo, then a sedan is quite suitable for you.

If you plan on relatively regular transportation, for example, delivery of goods to shops, then you should pay attention to a more spacious station wagon. Cars of the Priora family have proven themselves to be a very good option for their price

They have good dynamics, while being quite economical, hold the road confidently, and the ride here is more comfortable than on the VAZ “tenth” series.

Don’t also forget that the Priora was restyled in 2013. The designers added a number of new options to all cars in the family, further increasing their competitiveness in the automotive market. In particular, the updated Priors received more modern optics controlled by a light sensor. Many people liked the slightly changed bumper, and the LEDs built into the lights and foglights made the car less “gluttonous” in terms of electricity consumption.

The interior of the car has also undergone changes for the better. The designers included finishing materials in the restyled version that cannot be called typical for VAZ products. In particular, soft-look was used here - a type of plastic that looks very much like expensive leather.

In addition to its excellent aesthetics, the undoubted advantage of this material is also its fairly high resistance to various types of influences. Also, owners of the restyled version will be pleased with the new shape of the steering wheel, a beautiful instrument panel and a touch screen. Well, thanks to higher seats with armrests, the designers were able to increase the level of comfort for both driver and passenger.
