This car, produced by the Volga Automobile Plant in 2013, is the second model of the Priora family. Body VAZ-217230 - hatchback. The model in a short time has earned the high popularity of domestic motorists. Advantages of this car - affordable prices, reliability, high maintainability, good specifications. Also, the car has a stylish design.
Design
The VAZ-217230 Priora is compared in design with the VAZ-2112. But despite the obvious similarities between the Priora and the cars of the tenth AvtoVAZ family, there are a lot of differences between the series. The body has clear lines, the designers did a very good job on the geometry. The streamlined outlines give the car a more stylish look. Hatchback implies that this is a "sport" class car. And in general it is. Yes, it cannot be rallyed, but its performance is high enough for a simple people's car. The car stands out for its side parts. Well-designed rear fenders also look impressive. On the trunk lid in later versions, modern lighting technology is installed. Due to these expressive features, the VAZ-217230 is able to give odds to any other models in its generation.
Compared to the 12th model, the Priora has also changed the front end. So, the headlights became more oval, their shape was changed to a streamlined one. And that's where the list of changes in appearance ends. If we consider the design as a whole, then only behind the back of the developers can put a solid four. In this price segment, this is the best design.
Many are interested in the answer to the question: why did AvtoVAZ not create a completely original body for this car? Everything here is more than simple. So, due to the spectacular appearance, the hatchback 2112 has become very popular and has found many fans. The car can often be seen on Russian roads. It was logical for AvtoVAZ to once again "play" on this wave of popularity and make a car in the same exterior. But we can say very accurately: more serious changes in design trends could be an interesting solution.
"Priora", luxury hatchback
Together with the production of the standard model, AvtoVAZ launched assembly and versions with increased comfort. The car was equipped with a huge number of additional useful elements, systems and devices.
"Priora" in the luxury version except standard equipment equipped air conditioner, fog lights, heated front seats. The package included electric windows.
Features of "Priora-Lux"
In later versions, after restyling, luxury models received a full-time multimedia system and radio. IN dashboard a standard two-din or multimedia system was built in. The cabin has four speakers, the car was equipped with an antenna. Head unit can be used in two modes - to listen to CD or radio stations. Another small detail that you can pay attention to is the sensors for the parking sensors. Perhaps, the VAZ-217230 is the only domestic car that is equipped with sensors already at the production stage. Previously, parking sensors could only be installed optionally for a surcharge. 
In the luxury version, the manufacturer equips the car with other door handles. Now these elements are made for a natural grip. The process of opening the door with this handle has become much more convenient than with handles from the 12th model. The part itself is equipped with an overlay painted in body color. This helps protect the element from scratches.
Interior
The salon is well thought out and well assembled. As for the characteristics of ergonomics and the quality of the materials used in the decoration, according to these factors, Priora is one of the best in its price range. 
The front seats delight with a comfortable profile. There is even lateral support and it really holds, which is amazing. The chair is adjustable in a sufficient range. It will be comfortable even in the driver's seat. But if the driver is taller than 185 cm, then he may have certain problems. So, in the VAZ-217230 it has adjustment only in tilt angles or only in height.
Finish quality
As for the finishing materials, the front panel plastic is quite soft. However, its quality is low. Wheel not too successful. It is made of inexpensive and frankly unpleasant to the touch plastic. Not too convenient to use Among the shortcomings of the interior organization, a high front armrest can be distinguished. Because of this, working with the gearbox selector is very inconvenient. It is recessed into the central tunnel. The back row is comfortable - passengers will be comfortable. But this is so as long as people with average height are sitting in front of them. Two passengers can feel comfortable on the back sofa. But if you make room, then three will sit down easily.
Disadvantages in the cabin
The only thing that does not suit many owners is the power windows. Even despite the fact that AvtoVAZ completes the car with an electric lift, the rear window can only go down to half. By the way, it does not fall completely even on the front doors. But on the VAZ-217230 Priora, the doors have not been changed since the time of the “tens” (although there was no such problem there). Then the developers explained it simply. For security reasons, the design had to be slightly changed, which entailed certain innovations.
Trunk
The trunk on the "Prior" has a volume of 400 liters. The back sofa has a folding option. If you add it up, then the usable volume will increase three times. But you will have to make serious efforts - the mechanism has not been changed since the last 2110 family. Among the minuses, one can single out the lack of a handle for closing the tailgate. But if you look closely, you can see a certain protrusion or contour of this handle. In the following restyled models, she appeared. You can open the tailgate both from the passenger compartment and using the key fob.
Specifications
The machine is equipped with a four-cylinder 16-valve power unit with a volume of 1.6 liters. The technical characteristics of the VAZ-217230 car with this engine are quite good. The motor develops 98 liters. from. power. Together with five-speed gearbox gear power unit shows nice results. 
But judging by the reviews of the owners, as well as by test drives, this 1.6-liter VAZ-217230 engine does not produce enough torque for low revs. But when the arrow reaches 3000 rpm, then the car really "comes to life". In general, this motor performs well precisely on high revs. If you do not lower the bar below 3000, then the car accelerates well. As for the mechanical transmission, there were cases when the gears did not turn on well in the first versions. This speaks volumes again about the quality. domestic cars. But in post-styling models, all these errors have been eliminated. 
AvtoVAZ announced that the car VAZ-217230 Priora technical performance will be improved, and yes, they really did. Until recently, models that were equipped with a 1.8 engine and robotic box gears.
Conclusion
So, we found out what the Priora (hatchback) design and specifications have. Today, the mass of cars of this model is sold on secondary market for a very reasonable price (200 thousand rubles). Everyone can afford this car. It is also simple and cheap to maintain.
We continue the review new Lada Priora hatchback, a car that has recently been upgraded. We offer you a photo, video of the car. As well as technical description hatchback Lada Priora or VAZ-2172, and of course the current prices and configurations.
If the first Priora sedans appeared back in 2007, then Lada Priora in a hatchback only in 2008. The car has a more dynamic appearance, in addition, folding rear seats and a wide fifth door opening make loading more convenient. In the near future, the model may replace, which will also be produced in a hatchback body.
I would like to remind you that in addition to the usual hatchback, today Avtovaz also produces a three-door version coupe Priora. Coupe is essentially the same hatchback, which instead of five, has only three doors. Today, this version is sold in three trim levels “standard”, “norm” and “sport”. Photo Lada Priora coupe a little lower.
The first small restyling of the five-door hatch took place back in 2011, a more extensive modernization of the Lada Priora took place in 2013. Under the hood of the car appeared a new 16- valve engine 106 hp with dynamic supercharging. The box was also slightly modernized, now there is a cable drive. Improved sound insulation, which is a traditional problem on any VAZ model. Interestingly, more available configurations The priors are equipped with a power steering, and the “luxury” configurations are equipped with an electric power steering.
Externally new Lada Priora hatchback restyling can be recognized by the new grille, modified bumpers, LEDs in the rear brake lights, daytime running lights in headlights. The modernization of the interior was deeper, now soft-bow material is used instead of cheap plastic. There was a multimedia system with a large screen in the center console. Exterior photos of Lada Priora hatch, just below. We also look at photos of the updated Salon Priory. By the way, the seats in the restyled version have become more comfortable, with improved lateral support. In addition to the possibility of installing front airbags, now side airbags have appeared on the Lada Priora, not to mention cruise control and the system exchange rate stability.

Do you want to know more about or ? You can easily find detailed articles on the new restyled AvtoVAZ models on our website.
- concise, simple, but memorable - designed to talk about the status of the owner. This is the style of people who have taken place, who firmly know what they need from life. The style is a little conservative, taking only the most elegant ideas from modern fashion. Bright lighting technology, the original honeycomb structure of the radiator grille and its chrome edging form a recognizable image of a dynamic modern car. The rear bumper of LADA Priora has become more stylish and functional. The lower part of the bumper, which is contaminated and prone to damage, is black, painted in bulk, while the upper part is still painted in body color. At the same time, the effect of an integral design solution is achieved - a dark zone extends along the entire lower contour of the car (front bumper, floor sill lining, rear bumper). The innovative soft-look material for the instrument panel and door upholstery transforms the interior of LADA Priora. On the upholstery of the doors there is a new taiga embossing pattern specially developed for Priora cars. Black lacquer is a trend of modern automotive fashion. Small but noticeable inclusions of chrome emphasize the solidity of the interior and the status of the owner.
SECURITY. HIGH DEGREE OF PROTECTION
LADA Priora is equipped with modern security systems to make the car obedient under any circumstances. road conditions so that the protection of the driver and passengers is maximum. Headlights with daytime running light - the car is always visible. Switching on and off occurs automatically when the key is turned in the ignition switch. LED taillights and brake lights - shine brighter, work faster. Reinforced door safety bars increase the strength of the body frame. Reinforced front seat frame. Side airbags for driver and passenger. Between the bumper and the body are foam inserts that more effectively absorb energy in a rear-end collision. System of course stability: a high-speed car must be safe in a European way. Body frame modified to EuroNCap standards. The anti-lock braking system is supplemented by a “braking assistant”. In the event of emergency braking, the pressure in the system automatically rises until the ABS is activated. ISOFIX child seat attachment system: secure and fast fixation.
COMFORT. CONVENIENCE INDEPENDENT TO EXTERNAL CONDITIONS
LADA Priora is convenient both in the city and on the highway, comfortable on roads with broken surfaces, effectively warms up in cold weather and pleasantly cools down in hot weather. Is it possible to improve a design worked out over the years? You can - by conducting a survey of thousands of owners, having traveled millions of kilometers on tests in real conditions. The front seats have become more embossed - any trip turns from work into a pleasant pastime. The new seat adjustment mechanism - the accuracy of the settings has been increased, it has become more convenient for tall drivers. Upholstery and door mechanisms, headrests, central armrest, engine mounts - more than a dozen elements of LADA Priora have been modernized to increase acoustic comfort. The new instrument cluster is easier to read. Upgraded gearbox with cable drive: efforts and vibrations on the lever are reduced, while the clarity of switching is dramatically increased. The stability control system helps to maintain an optimal and comfortable driving mode, both on the highway and in the city.
FREEDOM OF CHOICE. NEW FEELING
Which gives LADA Priora, equipped with an automated manual transmission. The car can move in "automatic" mode - AMT is able to implement any driving style, from dynamic to sedate. The driver can also choose the "manual" mode - and then the rhythm of the trip can be set with a slight movement of the joystick. Quick starts at high speeds, engine braking - AMT supports all functions, adding to them a new level of comfort. AMT is two pedals. This is convenience. This is reduced fuel consumption. This is a special feeling - as if you are driving with a very careful driver, perfectly shifting gears.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL
Improved aerodynamics rear bumper keeps parking sensors clean longer. Liquid crystal display with touch control similar to smartphones. Performs the functions of a multimedia system and Russified on-board computer. Paddles: New design and programmable cruise control and speed limiter. The front seat heating switches allow you to adjust the heating in three ranges. Interior lighting unit with "polite light" function. Climate control unit - high definition adjustments with minimal effort on the handles. The rain sensor automatically turns on the windshield wipers. This is handy in the rain, but this feature is especially helpful when your car is splashed with water on nearby cars in slushy weather. Exterior mirrors: wide reflective surface, LED turn signal repeaters. Remote drive locks trunk lid or tailgate. Illumination of entrances and exits. Preheater- an option for the northern regions - increases the life of the engine, reduces fuel consumption ... and makes life easier for the driver.
PASSION OF MOVEMENT
Together with updated interior and exterior LADA Priora received a modernized 106-horsepower engine with fundamentally new system inlet. Dynamic boost technology improves the dynamics of acceleration, increases the elasticity of the engine. This provides more comfortable conditions when starting off and maneuvering in the city. At the same time, fuel consumption does not increase. Fans of energetic driving will appreciate the more powerful electromechanical power steering and the steering gear with a shortened gear ratio (3.1 instead of 3.9). The suspension of LADA Priora received new elastic compression buffers, giving the feeling of a European-style assembled chassis.
Lada Priora hatchback, 2011
At the age of 19, my parents decided to give me a present and buy a new car (namely, a new one, since the family never had used cars). The budget was about 370 thousand. It was decided to take the Lada Priora hatchback, equipment "norm" (ABS, power steering, front power windows, heated mirrors). It cost 343 thousand. In the early days, I could not help but rejoice at the car, then I got used to it, and the car no longer caused such delight. After the purchase was made "anticorrosive", tinted, alarm with auto start, taped doors, trunk. Good music installed. At the moment, I have owned the car for 1 year, 5 months, 22 days. The mileage is 31 thousand. For all the time, only the driver's seat was changed under warranty, the mechanism for raising and lowering the back did not work. Everything, nothing else broke. Changed only "consumables". Machine basically satisfied, never let down. The only thing that annoys me is the squeaks of the cabin, you have to make the music louder. Plans to put HBO, as gasoline prices are rising by leaps and bounds. This winter, I ran into a snowdrift at speed, only the paint cracked on the bumper, I traveled for services, they asked for 3 to 5 thousand for painting the bumper. I went to the market, bought a new bumper in color for 1600 rubles, everything went perfectly. Summing up, I would like to say that the Lada Priora hatchback is quite good new car for your money, and to buy or not to buy is your business. I won’t argue, there are cars that, for such a mileage as mine, have already broken a lot of things, which one you run into. And I also think so, if the car is treated with love, then it will not let you down. I take care of the Lada Priora hatchback, mine every 3 days, maybe that's why she reciprocates.
Advantages : an inexpensive and unpretentious car.
disadvantages : interior creaks.

Lada Priora hatchback, 2010
What I got after the purchase is 3, and soon 4 years of absolutely trouble-free driving and not a single serious breakdown for 80 thousand. And I was not afraid to roll 5 thousand in a week and a half this year in the Krasnodar Territory, relaxing with my wife, unlike those who did not go with us in their foreign cars. Maintenance is the simplest: every 8-9 thousand km - oils, filters, well, every time I do running diagnostics, so far I have not had to change anything. Every 20 thousand pads changed, at 60 thousand belts, rollers, pump. At 50,000, it “troubled”, scolded himself that he had never changed the candles, replaced the candles and some kind of sucker for a candle broke for a thousand rubles. Consumption of exactly 8.0 liters, for all the time did not drop, the ride is aggressive in the city and calm on the highway. Of the minuses of the Lada Priora hatchback, the heating of the left mirror broke down, the light stopped working when opening the doors, and most importantly, it is an air conditioner that has worked honestly for one year, then it constantly drizzles, does not cool properly, refueling and diagnostics give nothing, well, God bless him. I don't know if I'm lucky or weak windshield, already 3 chips, cracks spread from two. Of course, someone will say that 80 thousand is not enough, but it used to be so, but in the light of what is being written on the forums now, half of the cars change their suspension twice and a quarter of the turbine “flies” to this run. With the reliability of the Lada Priora hatchback, everything is clear, what is usually discussed next? dynamics. Naturally, it is weak, but against the background of cars for "office plankton" in the city, it is in no way inferior. It’s quite easy to overtake trucks on the highway, if the truck travels less than a “hundred”, if more, then the occupation becomes risky, you either have to accelerate from afar, or wait for a huge pocket. At speeds over 160 km per hour, due to the fact that the car is light, it starts to be thrown along the highway from trucks, and there is no pleasure from driving - only tension. I was pleasantly surprised by the opportunity to “put an arrow”, I was sure that the engine would not spin up, although the speedometer honestly deceives by 10 km / h. Noise isolation, of course, is bad, but I never found fault with this. And I don’t listen to stories about the fact that at a speed of 110 km / h you have to raise your voice, if the car is cheaper than a million, then the sound insulation there is equally bad. Salon Lada Priora hatchback behaved well for the first year, only the rear shelf creaked, the disease of all Prior hatchbacks, now there is a lot of creaking, especially from the doors, in a good way it is necessary to disassemble everything, change the caps and somehow fix this. Paintwork- this is what makes you ashamed of your country and the manufacturers of the domestic auto industry. Each pebble that flew into the hood not only left a chip, but then this chip immediately begins to bloom. The result was a silver car, all dotted with "freckles". All reasoning is, of course, only my opinion, I wrote about my car with great love, especially since I will have to part in the spring, and if I restrain myself, then my wife will definitely cry.
Advantages : reliability. Cheap service.
disadvantages : build quality. Metal quality.

Lada Priora hatchback, 2010
So the time has come to part with the Lada Priora hatchback. To replace it, the family bought a second "Kalina" station wagon with a dark interior, but unlike the first "Kalina" there is a heated windshield, a rain sensor, light, rear parking sensors. For these almost three years, the Lada Priora hatchback has covered 46 thousand km. From breakdowns: under warranty - generator, ignition coil, front wiper motor. The washer motor also changed, it is not clear why the thing to which the janitor is attached broke - everything was replaced at 200 rubles. During operation, the hood was covered with "saffron mushrooms", the rest of the native "body" in good condition. The behavior of the car on the road has not changed in any way over time, when changing tires, I noticed that it was “sweating” rear shock absorber and the rear wheel bearings are a little noisy, although they are not audible on the go. The suspension allows you to still feel confident on the road, not particularly paying attention to pavement, goes well on the track. Comparing with other cars, I don’t really like how the clutch works, it’s rather tight and grabs late, but I think that it’s specifically in my copy. The air conditioner cools properly, the stove heats up. Many thanks to the designers for the stove, it is always warm in the Lada Priora hatchback, the primitive climate (semi-climate) does its job very well, I miss it on Kalina. In terms of fuel consumption - it is really more economical than most similar cars, in terms of dynamics it is similar. And when changing to Priora from Kalina, I want to drive, I don’t know how to explain this. The car has been sold. And I hope that it will faithfully serve the new owner.
Advantages : pendant. Controllability. Availability of spare parts. Profitability. Dynamics. Content cost. Appearance hatchback and station wagon I personally like.
disadvantages : reputation. Annoying little things. Budgeting costs.

Lada Priora hatchback, 2014
Before the Lada Priora, the hatchback was like this, only in 2010 with 98 hp. The first took a new one in the cabin in the configuration of the norm for 385 thousand. Now about Priore 2. I also took a new hatchback in June 2014, just when cable boxes began to be installed. I took it for 390 thousand, the standard equipment (all of the above plus ABS). Well, as usual, plus inexpensive music, visor, guarantor on the steering wheel. The advantages of pre-styling Priora compared to Priora restyling: a bunch of mechanical (cable) gas pedal plus 98 hp. seemed more exciting than the electronic pedal and 106 hp. The feeling that the past Priora accelerated faster. But this is just a feeling. The engine sound on the last one also seemed sportier. Hours in the cabin, as in Infiniti. It was possible to see the time on the car without turning on the ignition. In general, the interior of the previous Priora is more pleasant to look at and to the touch. Although the new interior has its pluses - a trip computer, a steering wheel, a shiny edging around the gearshift lever. Advantages of Priora 2 compared to Priora 1: the cable box switches very clearly, it is a pleasure to work with it. Howling in 2nd gear, unfortunately remained. Electronic pedal gas - she takes as much as she needs. Appeared as a "creeping mode" on the machine. This is when, for example, you drive into a multi-level parking lot, release all the pedals, the car goes uphill by itself. A very unusual feeling for someone who has not ridden on the machine. The engine would not say that it is right on the "bottom" like a diesel engine compared to the previous one, but it turns out to get under way more smoothly. A minimum of gas, in the past it was necessary to gasp harder in order to move smoothly. Here you can not touch the gas at all, but then the clutch must be released very smoothly. The engine of the Lada Priora hatchback is just as peppy: on the highway, when 3-4 trucks mixed with cars have accumulated in front of you, you wait for the moment, switch to the 3rd and you have no equal, however, if suddenly some right-hand drive 20-year-old A 3-liter Japanese woman will not jump out, and you will not be bypassed even on takeoff as a standing one. The build quality of the cabin is better. On both machines I set the music myself, removed the door trim. At the first, then whatever he did, the rattling of the door skins did not win to the end. The torpedo is quiet both on the last one and on this one. The rear shelf of the Lada Priora hatchback is a separate topic for discussion on specialized forums. Suspension. Can't compare to the past. Perhaps the most noticeable improvement after the cable gearbox. Impenetrable, the car rides somehow more solid, as if the car is a higher class compared to the previous Priora. But just as tough, unfortunately.
Advantages : price - quality, efficiency, dynamics.
disadvantages : Suspension too stiff.

Lada Priora hatchback, 2011
The car drives in the range of 3000 rpm. Of the breakdowns: about a month ago, the stove stopped blowing in the hot position, it was found that the heater damper gear motor had broken (its price is 800 rubles), the fuses for the F9 25 amp stove burned a couple of times, in the autumn the native battery died and was changed to Mutlu 62am and to that's all. Among the shortcomings is the paintwork, this winter “saffron milk mushrooms” began to appear on the hood due to chips. While I temporarily smeared them with Litol 24, in the summer I will deal with them in more detail, I plan to shed all the thresholds, doors and fenders with a mixture of cannon fat and mastic (an excellent thing, you can forget about rust for at least 2 years, I did it on my 99). There were crickets in the cabin (rear shelf and right front door). In general, for now, something like this, I like the car, yes, it has its drawbacks, there are also “childhood” diseases, but I want to note that the car has never failed, it starts up with half a turn, every summer it goes to the Rostov region for more than 1 once and I believe that all the same, AvtoVAZ is developing. Albeit slowly and nauseatingly at the speed of a dying cancerous turtle, but nonetheless. Grandfather now again began to think about taking it again new Priora, he also liked her and was completely satisfied. My best friend took his grandfather Chevrolet Cobalt, so he admitted that in terms of dynamics, sound insulation and the quality of interior trim, he is inferior to Priora.
Advantages : GUR. Safety bag. Roomy trunk. Power suspension. Maintainability.
disadvantages : paintwork quality. Fuzzy operation of the checkpoint. Noise isolation. Creaks in the cabin.

Lada Priora hatchback, 2011
One driver throughout the entire period of operation. There are small remarks in the shortcomings that can be easily corrected, but apparently the suppliers of spare parts just stood up in a pose. With the engine - there were no comments, I drove 75 thousand on the timing and just decided to change - nothing was torn. Well, yes, just in case. Regular tires of course 0 just tin - the road does not hold at all. I had to change to R15 with a lower profile, but not quite low, otherwise it’s just tough on our roads, the main thing is to observe the thickness of the tire when changing diameters. Put TOYO DRB R15 190/55 - 2 years of operation there were no hernias. There is a flanging for protection of disks. After that, the machine became obedient. Of course, the Lada Priora hatchback pleased with a good first and second gear - very, very traction, in the third everything - the moment drops sharply. There was the most complete equipment - the air conditioner is good, it falls short by 5 due to a strong drop in car power. The stove is brutal, I went to others - in comparison - this one just blew away, I had to put it on a two, but over time the filter clogged and the flow dropped sharply, which was even in the 4th position. It's noisy in the car at 100 km / h - what can we say, when I accelerated it to 200 - it's tin, you can't hear each other at all, the roar of the engine. I bought a Lada Priora hatchback for 394 thousand - this money is not worth it, of course, at that time. In the current economic situation - yes, it is possible, but no AvtoVAZ 535 thousand for such a configuration. In the first month of operation, the trunk lid rusted - it turns out that the trunks of the entire series were without zinc. Changed under warranty for LC coating.
Advantages : a lot. Everything is in the review.
disadvantages : noise in the cabin. The doors are sagging.

Lada Priora hatchback, 2014
So, I bought a Lada Priora hatchback in 2014, in August for 410 thousand rubles in the top-end configuration, the so-called SE: additional noise insulation, cruise control. Windshield heating, rain sensor, light sensor, parking sensors, seat heating, touchscreen. By the way, the sensor works at 5, like on the iPhone (I did not expect it myself). Of course, this is a VAZ, there are drawbacks, in terms of softness I will say better than on the Focus. The motor immediately "chipanul". The car is real for its 106 hp. rides very well. I will say this that a friend has a Mazda 3 2013 2.0 150 hp, though an automatic machine, so the Lada Priora hatchback leaves for the body up to 140 km. Then he leaves the body by 1.5 due to the volume, that is, I don’t feel flawed on the track, 200 rides. I change the oil every 15 thousand, pour Liquid Moli. I absolutely do not regret the car, I give heat every day. For all the time, and for 1 year and 3 months, I dashed off 117 thousand km, the car didn’t give me any special problems, and don’t believe who says that they break down - everything is a lie. So, do not listen to anyone, a normal workhorse.
Advantages : reliable. Frisky. Cheap service. Repaired in any service.
disadvantages : for this money no.
