Unlike foreign cars, AvtoVAZ products have always been famous for their special character. Of course, domestic cars are still far from record power indicators, the equipment of their salons is difficult to compare with German standards, and the level of comfort is seriously inferior to English luxury models. It would seem that the Togliatti automobile plant can only oppose the cost: 300-400 thousand rubles. for a new, albeit budget car - an unprecedented generosity. But the advantages of AvtoVAZ are not limited to this. And the Lada Priora station wagon (as well as versions in other bodies), as one of the favorite models of Russian motorists, is a confirmation of this. By the way, the car is also valued abroad, as evidenced by the volume of export sales.
Technical specifications
The platform was created on the once popular "ten", therefore, some of its features were absorbed by the Lada Priora, the technical characteristics of which for the hatchback version can be represented as follows:
- Engine - gasoline, displacement 1.6, power 106 and 98 liters. with.;
- The location of the power unit is anterior transverse;
- Dimensional parameters - 421 cm long, 168 cm wide and 143.5 cm high;
- Wheelbase - 249.2 cm;
- Luggage compartment volume - 705 l;
- Clearance - 165 cm;
- Fuel consumption - 8.9 and 5.5, respectively, in urban and suburban mode;
- Dynamic data - a maximum speed of 183 km / h, and acceleration to hundreds - 11.6 s.
The difference in the design of the sedan is reflected in the design indicators that Lada Priora has. Technical characteristics for the version in this body are excellent not only in dimensions (length 435 cm, width 168 cm, height 142 cm), but also in dynamic qualities. Modification with "automatic" has a longer acceleration of 12.6 s.
Complete set
AvtoVAZ offers two Priora specifications - a "norm" is available as a standard, and a luxury version is provided for more demanding customers.
Both versions have an airbag for the driver, daytime running optics, an immobilizer, and an anti-theft alarm system with remote control. In the standard version, the interior is upholstered in fabric, and the wheels are provided with stamped discs. The equipment of luxury modifications looks more modern, which also have ISOFIX latches (provided for child seats), fog lights, an air bug for the front passenger, an anti-lock mechanism and other safety features. By the way, the wheels for the wheels in this version of the Priors are cast.
Priora station wagon
An extended modification of the car is worth a detailed description. The car is also equipped with a 1.6-liter engine with 106 hp. with., but there are also significant differences that the Lada Priora station wagon already has in the basic version.
It is quite natural that the version is more focused on those motorists who need space, but not at the expense of reliability. The station wagon has the longest body, which was also reflected in the capacity of the trunk - so, if the displacement in the hatchback is only 705 liters, then in the case of the extended version, the capacity is 777 liters.
But there are other features that the Lada Prior is endowed with. Technical characteristics in the form of a 106-horsepower engine and a manual gearbox ensured fuel economy for the car. Again, unlike the sedan and hatchback, this version consumes only 8.5 liters in the city. However, suburban indicators remained the same - 5.5 liters.
Prices
Prices for VAZ cars vary greatly across the country. At the same time, the Lada Priora, the price of which is 350 thousand rubles, can correspond in quality to more expensive copies worth 400 thousand. If we take the average figures recommended by the manufacturer, then their level rises.
Basic equipment hatchback 98 liters. with. estimated at 454 thousand. An additional package of options will add another 3 thousand to this amount. The option for 106 liters. with. in a luxury version, provided with advanced functionality, will cost 540 thousand rubles.
The sedan version is also close to these prices - in particular, the Lada Priora, whose technical characteristics are due to a 98-horsepower engine and 5-speed mechanics, is available for 457 thousand. The luxury specification, equipped with an engine of 106 "horses" and supplemented by a set of options, costs 532 thousand.
Station wagon with a 98 hp engine. with. in the configuration, the norm will cost 457 thousand. A more prestigious variation of a car with an engine developing 106 hp. with., sold for 537 thousand rubles.
Restyling and innovations
Despite the feeling of familiarity with which the Lada Priora car is perceived by Russian motorists, the product of the domestic auto industry is seriously changing. Especially in recent years, the model has been actively refined and improved. Perhaps the main know-how was the introduction of a robotic gearbox, which brought the VAZ car closer to European standards.
The mechanics were not left without attention either - as a result of the revision of its device, the engineers equipped the unit with a cable drive. Since 2014, the quality of sound insulation has also noticeably improved, and the interior has also become more spectacular - in this part, the facelift of the Lada Priora was successful. At the same time, the price remained the same - depending on the dealer, you can buy it for 350-450 thousand. Such price tags cannot be imagined in the best Japanese or German cars with similar equipment.
The overall build quality has been improved by optimizing production processes directly on the assembly line of the Togliatti plant. Today, work is carried out at a uniform speed and without downtime.
