Comparison of cars VAZ station wagon (Lada) Granta i and VAZ station wagon (Lada) Priora i restyling

Service cost

The costs of servicing VAZ 2110 and Lada Priora cars, according to user reviews, are approximately the same, and will cost you 50-70 thousand rubles.
in year. These are repairs, maintenance, etc. The cost of owning a VAZ 2110 with an average annual mileage of 15,000 km will cost approximately 59-60 thousand rubles. This includes:

costs for AI-95 gasoline at a price of 45 rubles. per liter and an average consumption of 7.5 liters. per 100 km. – 50,700 rub.;
OSAGO under standard conditions for this car – 7,600 rubles;
transport tax – about 1000 rubles.

The cost of owning a Lada Priora with 15,000 km of annual mileage on average will cost approximately 58,000 rubles. This includes:

costs for AI-95 gasoline at a price of 45 rubles. per liter and an average consumption of 7.3 liters. per 100 km. – 49,300 rubles;
OSAGO under standard conditions for this car – 7,600 rubles;
transport tax - about 1,100 rubles.

When comparing, it is clear that both models, despite different generations and years of production, have spare parts that are similar in price and complexity, which will not be difficult to find.

VAZ-2110 or VAZ Priora - detailed comparison of characteristics, cost of service and maintenance

VAZ-2110 is a middle-class passenger car produced by a Russian automobile company. The car debuted in 1995 as the successor to the famous Samara, although it was produced until 2015. The car appeared on the domestic market as the VAZ 2110, and only after 2004 was introduced in Russia as the Lada 110.

The Russian sedan Lada Priora (2170) is another hope for success in the domestic market. Even the Russian professional press was not immediately able to accurately determine the differences compared to the previous model. Initially, unofficially, one of the manufacturer’s representatives described the car as “a deep restyling of the 2110, which is very close to the original.” The suspension and braking system were changed, the body received new contours, although the doors remained the same.

Technical features of the models

VAZ 2110 has a 4-door body. Its “sisters” are presented under the brands 111 (station wagon, until 2004 in Russia – VAZ 2111) and 112 (hatchback, until 2004 in Russia – VAZ 2112). The body design is quite rough and boring. The car looks heavier than it actually is. However, despite its small size, the interior is relatively spacious. The quality of the materials used and their fit leave much to be desired, but the price for which you can buy a VAZ 2110 compensates for any inconvenience.

Lada Priora has excellent sound insulation. If we compare acoustic comfort with a VAZ 2110, then in the Priora gearbox the noise is almost inaudible, and everything else has also become noticeably quieter. The difference in engines is even more noticeable. The 10's engine was far from ideal, so its volume was increased to meet stricter emissions standards (at that time Russia introduced an "obligation" to comply with at least the outdated Euro-2 standard).

The engine has not been modernized in the most successful way, so 16 valves are effective only at medium speeds and downright slow in other situations. The difference between the 8- and 16-valve “tens” engines is insignificant.

For comparison, Priora has a more advanced VAZ-21126 engine, which not only rotates faster and is quieter, but is also much more dynamic at high speeds, which was lacking in older analogue engines. Separately, it is necessary to highlight the energy intensity of the suspension - on a bad road you can drive at a higher speed without much damage to the car. It is very difficult to break the suspension of a Priora.

Appearance

A significant problem with the VAZ 2110 is floating gaps. This is especially noticeable when the hood comes into contact with the doors and fenders. Sometimes even several fingers can fit into the gap. This is a disease of all VAZs from the “ten” family. AVTOVAZ tried to modify the design - in the mid-2000s, the car only received a new bumper.

VAZ Priora

The wear resistance of the body of the Lada 110 is quite poor. The coating is impervious to salt, water and road chemicals. Rust appears after two years of use. Door sills and bottoms also quickly corrode and rot.

The most important shortcomings in domestic cars of previous generations remain the gaps between body parts. The external body parts of the Priora were redesigned, which resolved most of these problems. The differences are especially noticeable by the lack of contact between the C-pillar and the fender, which was previously covered by a curved plate. It was also possible to almost halve the distance from the new trunk lid to the car body.

Salon and trunk

The interior of the VAZ 2110 looks unprepossessing and stern. What's immediately noticeable is the simple two-spoke steering wheel without an airbag and the conventional dashboard with a few buttons. There are large buttons on the side of it, and there are large gaps in the center console. Ten does not support the required set of options compared to modern analogues. Only a clock, a stove, a niche for a radio and a 12-volt cigarette lighter with backlight are available. Only two people can comfortably fit in the back.

Depending on the configuration, the car provides:

air conditioner;
electric windows;
central locking.

According to user reviews, the main disadvantage of the model is isolation. The coating is very hard and constantly crunches. The car won't be perfectly quiet, but you can eliminate most of the noise with additional sound insulation. The trunk volume of the VAZ 2110 is 450 liters.

VAZ employees would not be themselves if they had made a Priora without flaws. The car is like a “rattle” - the door cards, the rear parcel shelf, the whistle from the door seals, the suspension (albeit in good condition) - everything rattles with different frequencies and volumes.

The body parameters in the new model remained the same, but the seats in the Priora became 15-30 mm higher. Passengers and the driver who are taller than average will not feel very comfortable. Priora owners have every chance to give up such a bad habit as smoking. Using an ashtray in a car is very difficult, but it snaps into place much better!

VAZ Priora salon

The trunk volume of the Priora sedan is 430 liters, the hatchback – 400 liters. The total length of the sedan is 4350 mm. (hatchback is 140 mm shorter), width – 1680 mm, height – up to 1508 mm. with a wheelbase of 2492 mm. The car is equipped with 14-inch wheels with 185/65 R14 tires.

Engine and gearbox problems

If we talk about power plants, in general they are quite reliable (at least when compared with the “decimal” ones). The timing system is belt driven. The belt runs for quite a long time - up to 120 thousand kilometers. However, the roller and pump may fail earlier, which leads to a break in the timing drive or overheating of the motor in the first and second cases, respectively.

By the way, the “Prior” engine has different pistons, crankshaft and lightweight connecting rods. The resource of the internal combustion engine is about 300-350 thousand kilometers.

Among the common problems on Priora is difficult starting. The reason for this is a low-quality standard battery. Its service life is no more than one year. The owners strongly recommend replacing it with a better one so as not to experience problems with starting, especially in winter.

Now about the transmission. All power units are paired with a five-speed manual transmission. It has been significantly improved and is now equipped with a cable drive. Shifting gears is clear, without hesitation. The clutch lasts up to 100 thousand, depending on driving style. The box itself has no major flaws. The recommended transmission oil change interval is 60 thousand kilometers.

QUALITY

Warranty periods for cars vary slightly. The plant allots two years or 60 thousand km to “Bogdan” with a service life of 10 thousand. For Priora, these indicators are more humane: the same 60 thousand kilometers, but in three years. In addition, the service is required to be visited once every 15 thousand km. But you can and should save money on servicing Bogdan. “Ukrodesyatka” is not a car that needs exclusively branded service, fortunately there are plenty of spare parts for it! According to reviews from the official dealer, pre-sale preparation comes down to general tightening of fasteners and checking details. Not to say that the build quality is poor, but tangled wires do occur.

Important technical characteristics of the Priora car

Which is better: VAZ-2112 or Priora hatchback

But the domestic manufacturer is not giving up its position. He actively works to ensure that his models are perfect. As practice shows, he copes with this successfully. Today, domestic car models are in no way inferior to foreign ones and meet international quality standards. Therefore, many Russians prefer them.

If we talk about the most popular cars, then, undoubtedly, these are the VAZ-2112 and Priora hatchback, which are excellent for different roads

It doesn’t matter what area you live in: urban or rural. It is also worth noting the low cost of vehicles

Thus, any average citizen of Russia can buy a new car of these brands.

With similar characteristics and the same price segment, quite often the buyer is faced with the choice of which of these cars to buy. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. As the proverb says, there is no friend according to taste. In this case it is very appropriate. At the same time, the owner of such cars will staunchly defend his vehicle. Claim that it is the best, convenient and comfortable.

Lada Priora

This car was released relatively recently and has already earned the respect and sympathy of car owners throughout the country.

To get to know Priora better, it’s worth taking a look at its strengths:

Replacing timing belt Lada 2114 (Lada (VAZ) 2114) in Moscow - compare prices

Appearance. One of the main strengths that ensured Lada good sales. Judging by the design, we can say that this is a man's car. Features from the Granta are noticeable in the front fenders and hood. Other elements, such as the front bumper, radiator grille and optics, are new.

Thanks to its unique external features, Priora stands out clearly in the city traffic, attracting attention.

Suspension. There are also slight similarities with previous models here.

This fact gives the buyer absolute confidence in the quality of the suspension, because the products of the VAZ plant have always been distinguished by their indestructibility and ability to overcome even the most difficult obstacles. Based on this, we can say with confidence that Priora will feel great on our roads.

New control panel. The new panel cannot be called domestic in any way. The standard European design is clearly visible here. The panel has become more attractive and has acquired new functions.

Making a choice

To summarize, we can say that the Lada Priora is the clear winner

This car allowed AvtoVAZ to take a confident step forward and attract the attention of new buyers. It has a fairly modern appearance and a relatively powerful engine that will make you feel comfortable in city traffic.

Recommended for purchase by young men who can afford a little comfort and speed.

The VAZ 2110 has rather mediocre technical and driving qualities. However, it is worth saying that in everyday life the top ten has no equal. It is easy to maintain and repair, can carry small loads, which is suitable for trips to the country. It has a low cost and quite comfortable seats.

Auto and motorcycleComment

Comparison of VAZ-2110 and Kalina: main advantages and disadvantages

VAZ-2110 models received quite comfortable front seats - they were expanded, although lateral support is still lacking. The interior is less spacious compared to Kalina cars.
The Kalina's front seats are wider and more comfortable, and have a larger adjustment profile compared to the ten. Due to the greater height and design features, they are more comfortable for tall people, plus there will be more room in the legs. The new Lada-1117 station wagon is equipped with 2 airbags and a separate rear seat.
The trunk of the VAZ-2110 is larger and better suited for long cargo due to its design and volume.
The “Ten” starts without problems even in severe frosts, which is very important for our latitudes. However, according to drivers, the stove is much inferior to Kalina. It does not warm up the interior evenly and quickly.
Comfort for drivers and passengers directly depends on how vibration from a bad road is transmitted to the body. And this problem is more pronounced in VAZ-2110 cars. Regarding sound insulation, the VAZ-2110 is also inferior to its “rival”, although not by much. Drivers also complain about a noisy engine, vibration at the gearbox and at idle.
A VAZ-2110 will cost a car enthusiast 100-200 thousand rubles. depending on the year of manufacture and condition. On the secondary market, a VAZ-2110 can be purchased for 85 thousand rubles, while the Kalina sedan costs from 180 thousand rubles.
As for the sedan, Kalina received an 89 hp engine. With. versus 78 hp With. "tens". The luggage compartment has a wide opening, but is slightly less spacious compared to the ten - 400 liters versus 450 liters, but the Viburnum has a higher body height (1500 mm).
Consumption - 7.2 l/100 km for the VAZ-2110 versus 7 l/100 km for the Kalina.
And finally, the electronic amplifier and ABS of the Kalina are an obvious advantage.

Operational and technical characteristics

The VAZ 2171 Priora station wagon is a budget car and its technical parameters do not stand out in any way from the general background of AvtoVAZ products.

Power unit

The Priora 2171 station wagon was equipped with two VAZ-made engines with technical characteristics:

Power unit type	VAZ 21116	VAZ 21126
Options	Meaning
Volume, cubic cm.
Power, l. With. (6000 rpm)
Torque, Nm	140 (at 3800 rpm)	145 (at 4000 rpm)
Number of valves per cylinder
Supply system	controlled multipoint fuel injection
Gasoline AI-95
Fuel consumption, l/100 km. (city/highway/mixed)
Motor resource, thousand km

When assembling the engines, American-made parts and components were used:

39% lighter connecting rod and piston group - manufactured by Federal Mogul;
The timing belt and tensioner pulley are from Gates Rubber Company.

The engines are powered by a standard VAZ 5-speed manual transmission with a reinforced clutch. The gearbox drive is made on closed type bearings.

Chassis

The chassis is structurally a long-proven, but somewhat modernized, “figure-of-eight”. The independent front suspension of the VAZ 2171 - McPherson with barrel springs - is made according to a scheme with straight forged arms and diagonal reaction rods. At the rear there is a torsion beam with new shock absorbers and springs that are stiffer than those of the sedan. Anti-roll bars are installed at the front and rear. According to experts, the chassis of the VAZ 2171 Priora station wagon is ideally suited to the domestic road surface. Its stability is not affected by changes in the profile of suburban highways, and you can drive along a road covered with potholes without slowing down.

Important! During vigorous maneuvering at high speed, the body begins to sway violently, but this driving style is not the standard mode of a family station wagon.

VAZ-2112 and Priora hatchback: characteristic features

First, let's define what Priora is. This is a VAZ-2112, which has been restyled. Thus, in fact we are talking about one car model. It is not possible to purchase a new VAZ today, since it is not produced. It follows from this that this vehicle will be used. If you want to get a new car, then, of course, the choice will fall on Priora.

Let's talk about what is typical for these cars, which have such a common part as a body (can be of several types: hatchback, station wagon and sedan). Everyone chooses it at their own discretion. And do this in both models. But body parameters can differ, for example, length and height. Their difference is small, but still there, which also needs to be taken into account.

One of the most important parts of a car is the engine. Let's compare these devices in these models. So, the volume, type of fuel, number of cylinders and their location are the same. But the engine power is different. This figure for Priora is higher and equal to 98 l/s. But the VAZ doesn’t have much, but less – 89 l/s.

As for the transmission, it is the same. Only the suspension is different. It is different in these models. If we talk about which one is better, then, of course, Priora.

Since this is a modern version of the part. It is spring-loaded, so it is much stronger and more reliable.

Struts and shock absorbers Kalina, Priora, Granta, VAZ 2108-2110

Racks for cars VAZ 2108-2110-2115, Kalina, Priora, Granta Rear shock absorbers for cars VAZ 2108-2110-2115, Kalina, Priora, Granta

Shock absorbers of any car, be it a domestic VAZ or a foreign car, are the most significant suspension elements in ensuring comfort and controllability. Shock absorber settings largely determine how a car behaves on the road, how safe and comfortable it is. When leaving the assembly line, cars have average characteristics. Accordingly, a large number of drivers are dissatisfied and seek to improve the suspension in order to improve the driving performance of their car.

Over time, due to the condition of the roads and the inevitable wear and tear of suspension parts, every car owner faces the need to replace shock absorber struts. Among the main reasons for replacement, using the example of VAZ shock absorbers, the following faults can be cited:

drop in damping characteristics due to wear of valve system parts;
deterioration of shock absorber fluid characteristics;
oil leakage due to wear of the oil seal or defects on the shock absorber rod;
wear of the chrome coating of the shock absorber rod;
presence of internal knocking in the shock absorber when the suspension is operating.

These malfunctions can manifest themselves in deterioration of the car's behavior on the road, excessive body swaying. Characteristic rebound shocks and suspension breakdowns appear. Also, faulty shock absorbers increase the braking distance of the car, directly affecting the quality of traction between the wheel and the road.

Regular inspection of the vehicle is necessary to identify faulty shock absorbers in a timely manner. A visual inspection can reveal the presence of shock absorber fluid leaks and damage to the rod coating.

And when the car is rocking on a level surface, the condition of the shock absorbers can be assessed by the presence of knocks, creaks and other sounds, as well as by the nature of the damping of body vibrations.

If you find such defects on your car, you need to replace the shock absorbers with serviceable ones, since the use of faulty shock absorbers negatively affects the handling, general condition of the car and impairs driving safety. It is recommended to change shock absorbers on one axle in pairs to avoid problems with the suspension.

And here the question arises: how to choose the most important suspension parts correctly? After all, shock absorber settings are always a certain compromise between smoothness and handling. We understand that suspension stiffness is solely an individual preference of the car owner. Wanting to provide maximum comfort to your movement, the SS20 company provides the opportunity to choose a VAZ car suspension that is suitable for you. Currently, our customers have 4 options for adjusting shock absorber struts.

VAZ-2110

VAZ-2110 (LADA 110) is a front-wheel drive sedan designed by AvtoVAZ on the G8 platform. A few years later, the Lada model range was supplemented with a station wagon and a hatchback of the tenth family (2111 and 2112).

In addition to smoother body contours and improved aerodynamic characteristics, the 4-cylinder concept from the Volzhsky plant received an adjustable steering wheel, gas hood supports and climate control. At the time of the release of the “ten”, it surpassed many foreign cars in operational and technical indicators

An important advantage is increased body rigidity

In the first years of production, VAZ-2110s were equipped with carburetor engines. With the beginning of the 2000s, the plant switched to a 1.5-1.6 liter injector.

The specific body design of the tenth model caused criticism from auto experts. Among drivers, it received the nickname “matryoshka” because of its rounded shape combined with an angular rear and excessively large gaps between the body elements. However, thanks to good streamlining, the car has become quite economical. Despite the factory galvanization of body parts, the car owner still has to do anticorrosive work.

Lada Priora Station Wagon

Russian passenger car with a station wagon body. Created on the basis of the Lada Priora sedan (VAZ-2170). Serial production of cars began on May 27, 2009. By the end of May, 250 new station wagons were assembled according to plan, and sales through the dealer network began on June 20, 2009.

Priora is significantly different from the VAZ-2111. The engine, suspension and electrical equipment have undergone major modernization. Driving the Lada Priora is much easier and simpler than its predecessor, thanks to the new electric power steering. And the design of the car has changed for the better. Even with a quick glance at the Lada Priora car, you notice the contours of the body and optics have changed and become smoother. The Priora's interior looks quite modern; we note that the front panel is trimmed with soft plastic, and the center console is not inferior to foreign cars. It feels like the designers have also worked to improve safety. Even in the basic configuration, the Lada Priora is equipped with an airbag, three-point inertial seat belts, and bars in the doors. In general, the car leaves a good impression and can be recommended to car enthusiasts who are choosing a new “iron friend” in the price range of up to 400,000 rubles.

The car is a deep modernization of the VAZ-2111 with a completely changed body design, including the rear part with original body panels and lighting equipment. The rear side windows are installed without plastic covers; their shape has also changed - they expand upward. The rear lights from the door were moved to the body and installed vertically. There are brackets on the wheel arches of the trunk to secure the cargo. The gaps between the body panels are large in some places, uneven in others, but not scary - it seems that the quality of Prior production is slowly but improving. The luxury station wagon has roof rails with three fastenings. The stamps for them are made in Japan, and the roof rails themselves are designed for loads weighing up to 50 kilograms. Priora also provides other nice options. For example, the back door can be opened in three ways - using the key, pressing the alarm key fob button, or directly from the cabin.

Interior

The “geometry” of the station wagon’s trunk has remained virtually unchanged: the opening is large, the threshold is low, and the volume is 100 liters more than that of the “universal” Kalina: 444 liters versus 350 liters in the “under-shelf” version. But if in the VAZ-2111 the door was covered from the inside with an unsightly “rag,” now it has a neat plastic casing and a convenient handle for closing.

Alas, the interior space is comparable only to modern models one class, if not two lower, which is enhanced by obvious ergonomic flaws: for example, the length of the front seat slides was reduced, resulting in a tall driver (more than 185 cm), who was relatively comfortably located in the “ten” , in the Priora he feels clearly cramped, which is aggravated by the lack of seat height adjustment in any configuration; in addition, there is no reach adjustment for the steering column.

Description of the station wagon

The Priora family is a product of a deep restyling of the VAZ 2110 model range. During the development process, more than 1,000 changes and improvements were made to the design of these cars, and a number of new technological processes were introduced into production. Taking as a basis the design typical of Korean-made cars, the developers managed to create a new, quite comfortable station wagon LADA Priora (VAZ 2171).

Exterior

The exterior of the VAZ 2171 Priora station wagon was designed by AvtoVAZ designers. It is quite difficult to see the similarity with the VAZ 2111 (in common parlance - “barn”), since the body design has been almost completely redesigned. The main changes affected the roof and rear, and the dies for mass production of new body parts were made in Japan.

In general, the appearance of the VAZ 2171 station wagon matches the style of the Priora family of cars. However, this correspondence ends at the rear doors of the body.

The new VAZ 2171 Priora station wagon differs from the VAZ 2111 in its rather expressive sidewalls and well-designed rear fenders. In addition, one of the conditions set before the designers was the refusal to locate part of the rear lights on the tailgate of the car.

The rear optics of the Priora station wagon, located vertically along the fifth door, look quite modern and are perfectly legible. The luggage compartment windows have lost their plastic covers and acquired a new shape - now they expand upward. Long three-support roof rails VAZ 2171, made of polished aluminum alloy. They allow you to place a load weighing up to 50 kg on the roof of the Priora station wagon. You can also use special brackets that appear on the wheel arches of the trunk for fastening.

The advantage of the station wagon is the luggage compartment, the capacity of which with the rear sofa folded is 777 liters. When filled to the ceiling, the volume of transported cargo reaches 1200 liters.

Interior

The interior of the Priora was developed by designers from the Carcerano studio (Italy). It fully corresponds to the level of modern passenger car interior design. Its dashboard, made of soft plastic, in addition to the generally accepted dial gauges and indicators, is equipped with a trip computer and a multimedia system. Sealing elements for the windshield and rear windows, energy absorbers in the front doors, high-quality upholstery materials and effective sound insulation, as well as a climate control system and heated front seats have significantly increased the safety, equipment and comfort of the station wagon.

The multiplexer control system for electric drives, built into the door armrest of the VAZ 2171 Priora station wagon, allows the latter to quickly control:

central locking;
external rear view mirrors;
window lifters.

Multimedia

The multimedia system integrated into the central console of the VAZ 2171 Priora station wagon looks quite solid. Externally, it occupies the space typical of 2-DIN devices of a higher class.

The radio receiver receives signals from stations operating in the AM and FM bands. The CD player is capable of reading information from CD and MP discs. The glove box contains a connector for connecting a USB storage device (UNECE requirement). The built-in Bluetooth controller and microphone make it possible not only to listen to recordings from a mobile phone, but also to accept (or reject) calls coming to it. For this purpose, there are special buttons on the radio panel. In addition, the number from which the incoming call is made is displayed on the display.

The VAZ 2171 station wagon is equipped with a built-in GLONASS/GPS navigation system (optional).

Equipment

The VAZ 2171 Priora is distinguished by an increased level of passive and active safety, which is ensured by the presence (in the maximum configuration):

anti-lock braking system ABS (Anti-lock Brake System);
emergency braking systems BAS (Brake Assist System);
EPS (Electronic Stability Control) stability control systems;
frontal airbags for driver and front passenger;
side airbags.

In addition, the LADA Priora Universal is considered one of the most equipped VAZ models. The vehicle, depending on the version, allows installation of:

anti-theft system (monokey);
alarms with remote control;
gearless electric or hydraulic power steering;
parking sensors;
heating systems for exterior rear-view mirrors, as well as windshield and rear windows;
anti-fog optics;
daytime running lights;
rain and light sensors;
electric headlight range control;
light alloy wheels, etc.

VAZ-2112 and Priora hatchback: characteristic features

Since this is a modern version of the part. It is spring-loaded, so it is much stronger and more reliable.

Price

In Russia, the tenth family left the main conveyor in stages. In 2007, the sedan left the scene. The hatchback and station wagon lasted two years longer, then the family finally gave way to the Priora. Although the factory stubbornly insists that this is not a restyling, but a radically redesigned car, the buyer is skeptical about such statements.

The more expensive and technically advanced Priora holds the hood with an old-fashioned support. "Bogdan" has a more successful design - with gas stops. Was it worth simplifying it this way?

Despite its apparent simplicity, "Bogdan-2111"

They are produced with two 1.6 liter engines (80 and 89 hp), in seven trim levels.
The price of the basic version is 293.5 thousand rubles
.
It is noteworthy that the “barn” assembled in Ukraine costs less than the Lada-2111 at one time. According to reviews from sellers, they buy the “naked” station wagon from Cherkassy, but not much - the version costing 297 thousand rubles is much more popular.
A modest surcharge adds alloy wheels (exactly the same as the older model) and fog lights to the “shed” - options that have long been loved by our people. A similar set purchased externally will cost much more.

"Priora"

They are offered in six versions, but with one engine – 1.6 liters, 98 horsepower.
“Norma”
configuration starts from
336.3 thousand rubles
.
The main difference, in addition to the design features of the engine, front suspension, other body panels and lighting equipment, lies in the steering wheel hub: there is a driver’s airbag, which Bogdan does not offer at all. In Priora, alloy wheels appear only in the Luxury
, such a car costs
398.7 thousand rubles
. True, the comparison is not entirely correct, since, by paying almost four hundred thousand, the owner of a Priora station wagon receives an anti-lock braking system, a pair of airbags and much more.

The instrument panel is similar to Prior's. The steering wheel, by the way, too. It's a pity that it will never have an airbag.

But let's return to Bogdan. Since the manufacturer offers two engines, it is worth choosing the most powerful, 89-horsepower. Moreover, a car with it in the basic version costs only 6.5 thousand rubles. more expensive than a car with an 80-horsepower engine.

Agree, the surcharge for power and increased speed (maximum speed according to the passport is 165 km/h) is a pittance. Again, only with such an engine can you get an EUR (the steering wheel is tilt adjustable), which will look decent in company with two electric windows, central locking, a clock and a temperature sensor. Five seat belts, a folding rear seat and an instrument cluster a la Priora complete the picture - all the more positive since this whole set costs 319 thousand rubles! But that's not all. Having changed his registration, the station wagon acquired an extremely useful option – air conditioning. The price of the chilled version of “Bogdan” is 329 thousand rubles.

The myth that in the “ten” the range of adjustments for the driver’s seat is wider is just a myth. The length of the sled in both cars is the same - 270 mm. The dashboard in the Bogdan is 30 mm shorter than that of the Priora, hence the impression.

Through simple calculations we find out that the additional payment for the option is only 10.5 thousand rubles! This is an absolute record, because installing the most modest air conditioner on such a car in a specialized center costs no less than 32 thousand rubles. "Priora" will be much more expensive - its price is 372 thousand rubles.

Finally, about body colors. Alas, “Bogdan-2111” comes to this world in dark colors. Of the four colors, the brightest is metallic silver, the others are black, greenish and blue. As for the Priora, its color palette is brighter and consists of ten colors. Only one shade is the same: both cars are painted with the Sochi color scheme.

An obvious failure of the Bogdan is the luggage rails. The photo shows how skinny they are. They are inconvenient to use.

What is better Ten or Priora

Cars have become a part of our lives. Almost every modern person is trying, as quickly as possible, to become the owner of a personal car and move comfortably around the city and throughout the country. Of course, we would be happy to buy ourselves brand new models of famous foreign cars, but not everyone has the funds for them. So you have to choose from domestic brands.

What can you expect from a domestic manufacturer? In principle, the same as from a foreign one. There are also many good options among domestic cars.

The Priora and VAZ 2110 are in great demand among domestic car users. Which car of these two options should you choose, which is better, the Ten or the Priora? There are several differences, although they cannot be called significant. Who hasn’t driven a “Ten” at least once in their life? There are probably very few such people. To some extent, this car can even be called a time machine.

In the classic version of the VAZ 2110, there are certain ergonomic shortcomings. The fact is that the steering wheel partially blocks the indicator lamps, which interferes with driving.

Users note that it would be much more convenient if the steering wheel were a little smaller. However, let's return to the question of how Priora differs from Ten. After all, the arrangement of instruments in the Priora and VAZ 2110 is very similar, however, the panel itself is significantly different.

A much more advanced option is the VAZ-21104. Manufacturers really did a great job before the car hit the roads. It’s more convenient to operate, and the visual differences from the classic version are only beneficial.

While testing the car, some features of the car's handling were revealed. The first thing that surprises is the large play in the steering wheel. But over time you get used to these features.

Priora vs. Ten behaves a little differently, both during testing and in everyday life. Priora has a more rigid body. The car cannot be called too nimble; it takes some getting used to driving it. Despite some nuances, the car is quite solid, and during turns it behaves as well as possible.

Ten or Priora? Many potential buyers ask themselves this question, which is not so easy to answer. After all, each car is characterized by its own nuances, has its own advantages and disadvantages. But, you always want something more for little money. Tires play an important role in cars.

Unfortunately, Priora was a little disappointed with its tires. Many motorists hoped to see 185e tires on their car, but what they saw was 175e tires.

When you have a question about Priora or Ten, pay attention to transmission noise. According to this characteristic, the Ten loses significantly and is much noisier

Priora manufacturers worked on the problem of sound insulation and managed to minimize noise. Yes, and the Prior’s engine has superior technical characteristics, since it functions much better than that of the Ten. But fast acceleration and quiet driving largely depend on the engine.

Tuning

Like all VAZ models, the LADA Priora Universal (VAZ 2171) can be easily tuned, with the help of which it can be transformed into a completely different car, unlike the production one. In this case, changes can be made to almost all nodes.

The easiest way to implement changes is in the station wagon's interior. It is enough to change the original upholstery material to a more textured and brighter color, and also decorate the dashboard and door panels with original metal or wooden (imitation of precious wood) inserts. The Priora will also be given more solidity by replacing the standard front seats with Recaro seats. The salon will immediately acquire individuality.

Station wagon styling

You can completely change the exterior of the VAZ 2171 Priora station wagon by:

glass tinting;
installation of new thresholds and aerodynamic body kits;
use of forged wheels and low-profile tires;
tuning of front optics and radiator grille.

Additionally, you can decorate the body with vinyl film and install a decorative trim on the heater air intake. All this will allow you to change the usual image of a station wagon beyond recognition.

Technical tuning

If necessary, you can improve the technical characteristics of the VAZ 2171 station wagon by subjecting it to technical tuning.

The main procedure that needs to be carried out is to increase the cylinder capacity of the station wagon engine to 1.8 liters. Besides:

carry out modifications to the cylinder block;
install lightweight flywheels and gas distribution valves;
change the throttle valve and other parts.

Attention! Having increased the power, it is necessary to bring the controllability and stability of the VAZ 2171 Priora station wagon in accordance with it.

Everyone understands the feeling of feverish excitement when buying a new car. Walking through the car markets, your eyes widen. How to make the right purchase so as not to make a mistake in choosing. We pick up a car reference book and study the characteristics of the cars offered to us. Of course, the advantage is towards new cars.

The time of shortages has passed and now the buyer's opportunities are much greater. Of course, the choice should be made based on the characteristics of the models of interest to us. Of course, each car has its own advantages, and maybe even disadvantages. Therefore, we will be very careful.

Let's compare, for example, two models produced by AVTOVAZ - the Lada Kalina (Lada 1118) with a station wagon and the Lada 111 (VAZ 2111).

Let's check how the cars of these two brands cope on the country's roads. To begin with, let's compare the technical characteristics of both proposed models.

The modern, harmonious proportions of Kalina are pleasing with their streamlinedness compared to the angular, at first glance, 111th VAZ. Body lines without visible gaps. The doors open 90 degrees, and the trunk opens 10 cm wider than that of the “eleventh” and is clearly fixed, which is convenient for owners. The trunk door can be closed from the inside. For comparison, the trunk of the VAZ 2111 is in no way inferior, and even superior in size.

Inside the cabin there is relative silence, no engine detonation, no crackling of the front panel, no creaking seats, in comparison with the same VAZ 111. The insides of the “eleventh” are noticeably different from the Kalina, but the advantages of the 111 are the possibility of greater cargo transportation. Also, the “eleventh” can easily accommodate people with fairly large dimensions.

In comparison with the Zhiguli of the Soviet period - heaven and earth. The seat of the Lada 2111 is not at all suitable for a long trip, it contributes to poor posture, which is not at all unimportant during a long trip. The interior has an elegant panel, pleasant to the touch and the overall appearance is impressive, but it cannot compare with the high-quality design and ergonomics of the front panel of the Kalina.

Soft curves blend proportionally with the built-in computer and other essential accessories. The buttons on the panel are impeccable and the handles of the microclimate systems rotate without any effort on the part of the owner.

Kalina’s significant superiority over the “eleventh” is its modernized interior; the space in front of the rear seats has not been affected, despite its smaller dimensions compared to its rival. The upholstery is made in the best colors and from quality materials. The car has an excellent viewing angle of the road due to the high seating position and large mirrors.

The dimensions of the Kalina (length: 4040 mm, width: 1700 mm) are more compact, 24.5 cm shorter than the “eleventh” (length: 4285 mm, width 1680 mm), which is especially convenient when maneuvering on tight and narrow streets, it is easier to park in our “soviet” courtyards, while maintaining space inside the car.

Of course, the capacity of the VAZ 2111 is much larger, the loading height is smaller (by 80 mm), the threshold is lower, and when you extend the seats in the cabin, you can transport long-sized luggage, but other advantages of the Kalina overshadow these minor shortcomings. For example, the height-adjustable steering wheel is optimal in size, and the on-board computer fits well into the design of the panel. The seats are modern, comfortable and easy to fold.

The stove has air flow guides, unlike the VAZ 2111, where the air flow goes to the bottom and unevenly heats the interior, the stove itself is powerful and after 15 minutes warming up in the car is ensured. The interior color is made in light soft colors, so the interior volume is visually larger.

The doors of the car open wide, making it easy for the driver and passengers to get in. In comparison with the “eleventh”, in which the backrest latches are pulled out with great difficulty. As mentioned above, the VAZ 2111 benefits from its spaciousness, comfort is maintained, an advantageous solution is to install roof rails, this additionally allows you to transport up to fifty kilograms of luggage.

Both cars have an immobilizer, central locking, electric windows on the front doors, and athermal windows.

The level of interior assembly of the Lada Kalina in terms of ergonomics and the quality of the latest materials has taken a significant step forward. Newly purchased cars retain the smell for a long time; perhaps, over time, this defect will self-liquidate.

The engine is equipped with the latest electronic fuel injection and ignition control system; thanks to this advantage, the car passes the most stringent and thorough requirements for reducing toxicity. And the reduction in toxic emissions is a consequence of the advanced new generation engine.

We draw a conclusion. Kalina is represented by an 8-valve 1.6-liter engine (81 hp) and a five-speed manual transmission in comparison with the VAZ 2111 - a 16-valve design with a capacity of 89 hp, however, Kalina comes straight from the very bottom, while The sixteen-valve engine has to accelerate to more than 3500 rpm.

Let's try to load our cars to capacity and see which car will have an advantage - Kalina wins, it easily copes with the task, while the VAZ 2111 starts off with problems, and is about to stall at the start. It's worth thinking about this fact.

Let's check our heroes on the road. How will they behave in extreme situations? Go! In third gear you can accelerate from 30 km/h. Acceleration dynamics are good, the only thing is that the sound of the engine at high speeds is heard more loudly than usual. At high speed our

Kalina feels more confident than the VAZ 2111, having accelerated to 130 km/h, the car is quite controllable, adequate and maneuverable in turns, goes softly and smoothly, gently bouncing on bumps.

The gearbox did not let us down, the transmission of the handle was well selected, was easy to control and did not bother us on the road. VAZ manufacturers promise us a speed of 179 km/h - not bad! But we will not recommend you to use such a speed, for your own safety.

At the factory, the car is equipped with Belshina tires. In winter, the car quickly throws in different directions, so it is recommended to change them to Dunlop winter tires, Cordiant Polar with studs (slightly noisy) or Amtel tires, which are quiet, have good and confident traction.

Sometimes the past comes back. The second coming of a station wagon based on the “ten”.

The coexistence of the previous model and the new one in the same market is a worldwide practice. As soon as the new version finally puts the previous one to shame, production of the old model is stopped or transferred to other countries. So the painfully dear sedans and station wagons of the tenth family, having left the assembly line in Togliatti, appeared in the model range of the Ukrainian corporation Bogdan. The new VIN code did not scare off fans: in Russia alone in 2010, more than 5 thousand Extogliatti small cars were sold, and in the first half of 2011 - more than 3 thousand. Since we have a dime a dozen sedans in this class, we decided to understand why aliens from the past captivate buyers using the example of the Bogdan-2111 station wagon and its direct relative, the Lada-Priora.

"Bogdan"

The new VIN code did not scare off fans: in Russia alone in 2010, more than 5 thousand Extogliatti small cars were sold, and in the first half of 2011 - more than 3 thousand. Since we have a dime a dozen sedans in this class, we decided to understand why aliens from the past captivate buyers using the example of the Bogdan-2111 station wagon and its direct relative, the Lada-Priora.

Which is better Priora station wagon or 2111

After the complete withdrawal of the tenth family of cars from production, the AvtoVAZ conveyor was occupied by cars called “Lada-Priora”. And, although the manufacturer stubbornly insists that the Lada Priora is not a restyling of the previous model, but a completely new, redesigned car, buyers treat such a statement by VAZ with irony. In this connection, the current offer among budget station wagons on the domestic market is the station wagons of the Priora family. However, having left the conveyor belt in Togliatti, the once popular 2111 station wagons began to be offered among the model range of cars of the Ukrainian concern “Bogdan”.

A car with a new nameplate appeared on the Russian market at the beginning of last 2010 and from the very beginning began to be in steady demand among car enthusiasts. Comparing the Bogdan-2111 station wagon with its more advanced relative, the Lada-Priora station wagon, the conclusion arises that the more recent car from Togliatti is nothing more than dust in the eyes of a famous brand, but for more serious money. There are, of course, differences between the two cars, however...

Bogdan is equipped with two gasoline engines, 1.6 liters, with a capacity of 80 and 89 horsepower. The base price of a Ukrainian car is 293.5 thousand rubles, while the Lada Priora starts at 336.3 thousand. True, the Togliatti car is offered with a single engine, the same volume of 1.6 liters, but with a power of 98 horsepower. The most popular Bogdan configuration among buyers is a car equipped with alloy wheels (identical to the wheels on the Priora) and foglights. For this addition to the base they ask for another six and a half thousand rubles.

The main difference between the two cars, with the exception of some external body elements and lighting equipment, are changes in the front suspension and the presence of an airbag for the driver in the Priora. But the presence of alloy wheels on the Priora is only possible in the “Lux” configuration, which also includes an anti-lock braking system, a front passenger airbag and some other little things. This car already costs 399 thousand rubles. Bogdan with a more powerful engine differs in price by only 6.5 thousand rubles. Having paid 329 thousand rubles for a Ukrainian car, the buyer will receive electric power steering, central door locking, a pair of power windows, a folding rear seat and air conditioning.

Even the instrument panel in such a car will be like that of a Lada Priora. The minimum cost of a car from Tolyatti equipped with air conditioning will be 372 thousand rubles. But the Ukrainian color range is small. The car is painted in only four colors: black, dark green, blue and silver. All colors are metallic. As for the warranty period, for a car from Ukraine it is two years or 60 thousand kilometers, with a service interval of 10 thousand kilometers. On the Lada Priora, the plant establishes a guarantee of the same 60 thousand kilometers, but not for two, but for three years of operation, with a mandatory service visit after 15 thousand kilometers.

Stories from our readers

“Fucking basin. "

Hi all! My name is Mikhail, now I’ll tell you a story about how I managed to exchange my two-wheeler for a 2010 Camry. It all started with the fact that I began to be wildly irritated by the breakdowns of the two-wheeler, it seemed like nothing serious was broken, but damn it, there were so many little things that really started to irritate me. This is where the idea arose that it was time to change the car to a foreign car. The choice fell on the melting Camry of the tenth years.

Yes, I had matured morally, but financially I just couldn’t handle it. I’ll say right away that I am against loans and taking a car, especially not a new one, on credit is unreasonable. My salary is 24k a month, so collecting 600-700 thousand is almost impossible for me. I started looking for different ways to make money on the Internet. You can’t imagine how many scams there are, what I haven’t tried: sports betting, network marketing, and even the volcano casino, where I successfully lost about 10 thousand ((The only direction in which it seemed to me that I could make money was currency trading on the stock exchange, they call it Forex. But when I started delving into it, I realized that it was very difficult for me. I continued to dig further and came across binary options. The essence is the same as in Forex, but it’s much easier to understand. I started reading forums, studying trading strategies. I tried it on a demo account, then opened a real account. To be honest, I didn’t manage to start earning money right away, until I understood all the mechanics of options, I lost about 3,000 rubles, but as it turned out, it was a precious experience. Now I earn 5-7 thousand rubles a day. I managed to get the car buy after half a year, but in my opinion this is a good result, and it’s not about the car, my life has changed, I naturally quit my job, I have more free time for myself and my family. You’ll laugh, but I work directly on the phone)) If If you want to change your life like me, then here’s what I advise you to do right now: 1. Register on the site 2. Practice on a Demo account (it’s free). 3. As soon as you get something on the Demo account, top up your REAL ACCOUNT and go to REAL MONEY!

The price of an assembled VAZ 21126 engine is currently about 60,000 rubles.

Why is the Priora engine better than the VAZ 2112? Everyone sees their own advantages and disadvantages in this, for example, some notice greater efficiency (Prior engine power), others the environment, and still others - efficiency. A number of positive differences force us to replace the VAZ 2112 engine with a Priorovsky one:

Replacing a VAZ 21124 engine with a VAZ 21126

Goal: Complete engine replacement.

Replacement Features:

All engine mount mounts are identical.
The differences are in the plugs of the coolant temperature sensor and the oil pressure sensor, so we replace them with standard ones (if you have Priora wiring, then you do not need to change them).
It is necessary to reflash the January 7.2 ECU specifically for the Priorovsky engine. You can order the firmware on the Ikin website.
It is not necessary to install the Priora catalytic collector; the main thing is to programmatically disable the second oxygen sensor, since the ICE 21126 has Euro-3 standards.

How to remove the engine from a VAZ 2110 is in this manual.

engine reviews 21126 compared to 21124

Consumption of 21126 in the city with heavy traffic jams and warm-ups in the morning (10 minutes) ranges from 6 to 9 l/100 km.
Consumption on the highway (average speed according to BC 76 km/h, speed from 20 km/h to 180 km/h) consumption 6.2/100 l.

What to take 2111 or Priora station wagon

Russian automakers (“originally Russian,” as they say) in general, and AvtoVAZ in particular, extremely rarely delight their fans with new products. And therefore, every “real new step” (excluding repeated announcements) is accompanied by great interest. Today, such interest is being generated by AvtoVAZ’s new model – the Lada Priora station wagon, which replaced the VAZ-2111 station wagon.

In the “top” trim levels, the new Lada Priora station wagon (VAZ 21713) is equipped with such “benefits of civilization” as: ABS system, airbags, climate control. The “luxury version” is equipped with rear parking sensors, rain and light sensors... in general, everything is the same as in other Priors, and soon the list of included options is promised to be supplemented with a built-in audio system and Bluetooth. Simply put, judging by the list of equipment, the new Lada Priora can already be compared with budget foreign cars, and the Priora is even significantly superior in equipment to many of them.

Externally, the Priora station wagon looks quite harmonious - the front part is similar to other Priora models (sedan/hatchback), and the design of the rear part compares favorably with the implementation of a station wagon based on the “ten”. The VAZ-2111, frankly speaking, looked like a “barn”. But the Lada Priora station wagon, if not an example of grace (“a station wagon” is generally difficult to make attractive), then looks much more interesting than the “eleventh”. The only thing that “spoils” the appearance of the new station wagon is that it “spoils” all Priors - all the same “ten” doors... although here the handles have already been slightly updated, making them more convenient. Its black glossy mirrors slightly stand out from the overall appearance of the car, but, as they say, “not critical.” By the way, they are equipped with electrical adjustments.

Now let's see what's inside the new Lada Priora station wagon (VAZ 2171). We unlock, remotely “from the key”, the central locking of the car. And let’s look - it should immediately be noted that the rear (fifth) door of the Priora “station wagon” could open to a greater angle. And with such an opening, problems may arise with loading large items. By the way, there are three possible ways to open the back door - with a standard ignition key, a button on the alarm key fob, or from inside the car. The luggage compartment of the new station wagon itself deserves only praise - it is very spacious, and if you fold down the rear seats (which now, unlike the first Prior hatchbacks, fold much easier), you get a decent “platform” with a flat floor and a luggage volume of 777 liters , where there are fasteners for securing the load. In the back seat, by the way, there will be enough space not only for two passengers, but also for three. Plus the large capacity of the internal luggage compartment; the Lada Priora even has roof rails in the base. Moreover, these roof rails have three fastenings on the roof (this will be appreciated by those who remember the roof rails of the “eleventh” model with two fastenings - how often they broke).

On the driver's door, like the rest of the Priors, there are control buttons for all power windows, mirrors and central locking. The driver can place his right hand on the armrest, in the niche of which small and not very small things can fit. The front seats in the “luxury” are equipped with heating. A driver of average height will have enough space behind the steering wheel, which can be adjusted for tilt. But tall drivers may well lack longitudinal seat adjustment. The windows do not roll down all the way in either the front or rear doors.

Test drive - we start the 98-horsepower 1.6-liter station wagon engine, already familiar from other Priors. The instrument panel is still the same - the instrument scales are a little small... but there is a convenient on-board computer (shows: fuel consumption, distance to the nearest gas station, air temperature, etc.). During the test trip, gasoline consumption was just under 8 liters per 100 km.

You quickly get used to the pedal stroke, but with gear shifts there are still the same “chronic” problems - the transmission lever lacks clarity, sometimes the gear does not even engage, there is significant vibration on the handle. But, at the same time, the transmission is quite elastic, and this gives greater freedom in choosing a gear.

Electric power steering is a pleasant and convenient opportunity to “turn the steering wheel with one finger” in a parking lot. But in turns, at speed, it’s better to hold on with both hands - it’s difficult to immediately choose the right trajectory. Which, by the way, is hampered quite a bit by strong body roll (but this is normal - this is still not a hatchback).

Yes! – about the body, which has become longer. In the Lada Priora station wagon, rear visibility is no longer the same as in sedans and hatchbacks, which is due to the increased body length and rear seat headrests, which interfere with visibility. Therefore, in a station wagon, rear parking sensors are no longer just a “feature”, but a severe necessity.

The most important and necessary thing in the suspension of the Lada Priora is its energy intensity. When driving on bumpy country roads, the Lada Priora only sways, and during the test it never touched the ground with its bottom.

Well, the most important advantage of the new Priora station wagon is its price, or rather, the fact that for this price there is simply no similar car in the station wagon body. Yes - the Priora station wagon simply has no competitors. So the closest ones in price (350 thousand rubles) are: the Lada Kalina station wagon, and the obsolete Volga and Quartet - cannot be compared with the Priora. And the closest ones in terms of equipment and capabilities are the Ford Focus and Chevrolet Lacetti station wagons; the price is already around half a million (and affordable Renault Logan and Chevrolet/ZAZ Lanos station wagons are not represented on the Russian market).

VAZ 2110 and Lada Priora. They are so different, but at the same time so similar... Heredity is very clear. In addition to many technical differences and the time spent on the assembly line, these 2 models also have differences in quality and controllability, at least that’s what AvtoVAZ thinks. This is exactly what we will try to find out. For clarity, we have the Lada 110 and its successor, the Lada Priora, standing side by side, which has a factory index of 2170. It is also sold under this name in other markets. So, let's go...

LADA 110 (VAZ 2110)
Produced since 1995. In 1998, the VAZ 21103 model with a 16-valve engine appeared. In 2004, the engine displacement was increased from 1.5 to 1.6 liters. Engines: petrol 8- and 16-valve 1.6 liters (80 and 89 hp). Car configurations: “Normal”, “Tuning”, “Lux”.

LADA PRIORA (VAZ 2170)
The model is a deep restyling of the “tens”. On sale since April 2007. Engine: petrol 16-valve 1.6 l (98 hp), meets Euro 4 requirements. Gearbox: manual 5-speed. Car configurations: “Norma”, “Lux”.

When the question arises about buying a domestic car, you can’t expect miracles, but obvious shortcomings don’t scare anyone. “Ten” has been on the assembly line for more than ten years, Priora is relatively new. Let's evaluate the progress

Two differences, but are they big...

We sit in the “top ten” - the car has certainly become outdated, but it has not yet become a “time machine”... The interior of the VAZ classic, which is still in production, can take you even further - several decades ago, and the exterior even further...

Large keys on the edges of the dashboard were popular in the interiors of Audi, Citroen, and Rover in the late 1980s, and the development of the VAZ 2110 began at that time. From an ergonomic point of view, the idea is not bad, but it was not implemented in the best way — the steering wheel overlaps the indicators on the keys. If only it were a little smaller... Maybe they planned this during development, but they didn’t have time to add power steering, and then a new “unified” steering wheel appeared. The result of the compromise is cheaper, but not more convenient. By the way, due to the gradual modernization of the “ten” and its slow transition to the Priora, cars produced recently have a “Prior” “tidy”, and with it a different torpedo, without keys on the visor.

A commercial VAZ-21104 from a car dealership, ready for shipment to the client after pre-sale preparation, is noticeably different from cars with a retuned suspension. Modified camber with the maximum recommended castor and stretching between the front supports works wonders. Control accuracy and directive force become normal. The “stock” car has an unusually slow response and simply huge play in the steering wheel.

The Priora has a torsionally stiffer body by 40%, which makes itself felt - the car behaves completely differently. Even though its electric power steering is connected to the same “slow” ten-wheel rack and therefore the car is still quite sluggish to drive, but it is quite “solid” and its behavior in turns can be predicted. The power steering is quite adequate and provides confident, responsive action at moderate speeds. In tight S-shaped turns you have to turn the steering wheel more than you would like, but Priora perceives the driver’s commands more accurately than its predecessor. It is quite possible that with the normal 185 tires that are announced for the Priora, everything will become even better, but for now the car is shod with 175/65 R14.

Apparently they did a good job on the sound insulation of the Lada Priora. If we compare the acoustic comfort with the VAZ 2110, then in the Priora the noise of the transmission is almost inaudible, and everything else has become noticeably quieter... The difference in the engines is even more noticeable. The VAZ-21124 engine is far from a fountain. The volume was increased to meet more stringent emission standards (at that time in Russia an “obligation” was introduced to comply with at least the outdated Euro 2. The modernization of the power unit was not carried out in the most successful way. The 16-valve engine pulls well at medium speeds and is frankly sluggish at high speeds In fact, the difference between 8- and 16-valve engines turned out to be insignificant...

Priora has a more advanced VAZ-21126 engine, which not only spins up faster and is quieter, but is also much more lively at high speeds, which is what the old engines lacked.

Comparative measurements of the interiors of both cars brought an unexpected result. The dimensions of the body have not changed, but the seats in the Lada Priora turned out to be 15-30 mm higher than the “tenth” seats. Drivers of average height are tolerable, but tall drivers are unlikely to be happy. The only hope is that the thin seat padding will quickly sag. The developers of the ashtray deserve a special “Thank you” with a capital T - those who get behind the wheel of a Priora have every chance to quit the bad habit. It is now almost impossible to use the ashtray, but it closes much better!

The most important thing in Russian cars is the gaps between the body panels. This is a real scourge of the “ten” - on every second car it won’t be a big problem to stick your fingers into the gap between the hood and the body, and this can be done around the entire perimeter. The stamps for “Prior” exterior body panels were developed anew, so the lion’s share of such flaws disappeared into oblivion. This is most noticeable by the absence of a joint between the rear pillar and the wing, which was previously covered by a necessarily curved plastic trim. The gaps between the new trunk lid and the body have also been reduced by almost one and a half times.

Calculations and miscalculations

A regular 16-valve “ten” in the “Norma” configuration can be purchased for about 10 thousand foreign money. Moreover, this amount has every chance to include a mandatory set of additional options, such as anti-corrosive treatment, wheel arch liners, and engine compartment protection. If we talk about the Lada Priora, then even for a “naked” car you will need to pay about 1 thousand more from your own pocket for the same foreign money. And if you buy the same anticorrosion, alarm and simple music from Priora, then you can shell out at least 1 thousand more. In other words, if you buy a “ten”, you can get a good one and a half to two thousand dollars. But in this case, you will not always get 14-inch alloy wheels, and you certainly will not have electric power steering, a new design (well, at least a little prettier), improved sound insulation and a comfortable steering wheel with an airbag, which is possible when needed won't even miss your head. If the issues with “casting” and “anti-noise” are completely solvable, then it is expensive to radically improve controllability, and it is almost impossible to improve safety. But if we take into account all these improvements, and especially the improved handling, then there is practically no point in buying a “ten”. Although there will always be people who want to save money and every product will find its buyer.

To summarize, we admit that the Lada 2170 Priora is a step in the right direction, it’s a pity that it’s small and belated. The improvements are visible only to those who have not tried a good foreign car, and there are fewer and fewer of them left... In other words, the Priora has many advantages over the “ten”, but only... the owners of the “ten” can fully appreciate them.

Lada Priora is a pretty successful restyling, but it would have been 5-6 years earlier...

More modern appearance, good body quality, airbag and improved handling due to body rigidity. — Traditional low build quality, uncomfortable seats for a tall driver, minor changes in ergonomics.

Lada 110 is a good solution for its time (12 years ago)... But, unfortunately, its quality was never brought to an acceptable level.

Good aerodynamics, reasonable price. — Very mediocre workmanship and assembly quality, especially the body, rather high noise level, “sluggish”, “lagging” and unclear handling, uncomfortable steering wheel.

I bought a new one at the showroom, January 2012, price 380,000 rubles. Before that there was an Eleventh Lux 1.6 sixteen-valve 89 hp. sold with 156,000 km mileage. There were some electrical problems, but the car was satisfactory for the price, interior transformation, low fuel consumption with good dynamics and ground clearance of 17 cm..

The big minus was that there was no air conditioning; in summer it was hot in traffic jams. For this reason, the choice fell on the Priora station wagon because analogues of the Kia Seed station wagon, Chevrolet Lacetti station wagon, Ford Focus station wagon cost about 600,000 rubles, and Largus did not exist at that time, and I didn’t want one with mileage either. You might run into a pig in a poke. In general, in order.

At 3000 km I changed the oil to Shell Helix 10v 40 semi-synthetic and SKT filter. At about 10,000 km the left low beam lamp burned out. After replacement, it burned out again after 5000-6000 km. I installed expensive Osrams for 1300 rubles. The left one also burned down without even passing a couple of thousand. I bought it at Globus for 350 rubles, now everything is ok. I changed the rear license plate lamps a couple of times. Oil change every 10,000 km only shell. At 30,000 km the timing tension bearing whistled. I was busy looking for something that was sold separately and not as a set, but I found it for 450 rubles at a local store.

At 40,000 km the diode bridge burned out, I installed a 100 amp from Viburnum for 500 rubles, the original one was 115 amps, now when I turn everything on: the lights. heater, air conditioner, then the charge relay starts blinking. By the way, I calmly unscrewed the bottom bolt on the generator, I didn’t even remove the compressor, I just moved it to the side. Chips on the hood rust and have to be treated. Now the flight has been normal for 54,800 km. The stove began to heat better, by the way, I didn’t change the cabin filter during the time and my heater resistor was damaged, the service center soldered it for 700 rubles, and a new one costs 5300 rubles. Overall, my wife and I are pleased. We are not going to change it yet.

Let's compare, for example, two models produced by AVTOVAZ - the Lada Kalina (Lada 1118) with a station wagon and the Lada 111 (VAZ 2111).

Let's check how the cars of these two brands cope on the country's roads. To begin with, let's compare the technical characteristics of both proposed models.

Both cars have an immobilizer, central locking, electric windows on the front doors, and athermal windows.

Kalina feels more confident than the VAZ 2111, having accelerated to 130 km/h, the car is quite controllable, adequate and maneuverable in turns, goes softly and smoothly, gently bouncing on bumps.
