Engine power on the VAZ 2114 and other technical characteristics

When choosing a car, each buyer first of all studies the technical characteristics of models that are potentially attractive to him.

It cannot be said that the VAZ 2114 has exemplary technical characteristics, but its power, consumption and other parameters are quite good, given the cost of the car itself and the cost of its repair and refinement. Add to this a well-designed appearance, and you get a solid youth car that gives a lot, but requires little from the owner.

A bit of history

In the period from 1980 to 1984, AvtoVAZ worked quite closely with the giant of the modern automotive industry, Porsche.

At that time, joint work was underway on the VAZ 2108 model. Already in the period from 1987 to 1991, the companies set to work on a new car - the VAZ 2110 with a 1.5-liter engine.

Despite the cooperation agreement regarding only these two models, the specialists did not miss the opportunity to work on the entire line being developed at that time. This also applied to the VAZ 2109 model, which became the heir to the modern fourteenth.

Not everyone knows about this fact of cooperation with a German company, which even then was considered a model of the automotive industry. But this is what served as a springboard for the creation of reliable and very interesting domestic cars.

The large-scale production of the heir to the Russian-German "nine" in the face of the VAZ 2114 began in 2003. It is noteworthy that first in 2001 the VAZ 2115 appeared, and in 2004 - the VAZ 2113.

According to studies, the VAZ 2114 is included in the list of the most common models in Russia.

Differences from the "nine"

There are not so many differences between the VAZ 2114 and VAZ 2109 in terms of the body. The updated car received new:

• front part of the body;
• New lens shape;
• New hood;
• Another grille;
• Improved quality of plastic on bumpers;
• Spoiler;
• moldings;
• Door sills.

Inside, there were much more changes. But in many ways, the difference is determined by the class of the car, that is, its equipment. For the VAZ 2114, three equipment options were provided - Standard, Norma and Lux.

So what has changed inside?

1. There was a new dashboard with a dashboard without a top glove box. The Lux package has a recessed part. There are a pair of cup holders on the lid of the lower glove box.
2. In the Norma and Lux ​​trim levels, electric windows are provided.
3. The steering wheel is tilt adjustable. It is noteworthy, but the steering wheel of the VAZ 2114 and the steering column are taken from dozens.
4. Seat belt fasteners are also taken from dozens.
5. The dashboard was used from the fifteenth VAZ model.
6. On the ceiling is an adjustable flashlight for interior lighting.
7. In the maximum configuration, it has a full-fledged on-board computer.
8. The stove has become more powerful, but this has increased the level of noise emitted.

Key Benefits

Obviously, the fourteenth model from AvtoVAZ is not as simple as it seems to many at first glance. Otherwise, it simply would not have been so popular and in demand.

Here is an example of some of the most significant benefits.

1. Excellent aerodynamics. Given the power of the engines and the aerodynamic capabilities of the body, this is one of the best models created for high-speed driving. Chip tuning to increase engine power or organize more serious engine modifications and you can extract good horsepower. In this case, the motor resource will not be particularly affected.
2. Excellent appearance. Obviously, the VAZ 2114 looks much more interesting and attractive than the nine. At the same time, the model is literally created for tuning. It is not necessary to increase the power. The original body kit - and you are the star of the road. Only in everything you need to know the measure, so as not to turn real tuning into a collective farm.
3. Youth orientation. The younger generation of drivers was hardly very interested in sevens, tens or sixes from AvtoVAZ. Yes, they were cheap and they were bought most often due to the lack of alternatives. But with the advent of the VAZ 2114, many realized that they had finally come out with a beautiful, domestic car that looked no worse than imported analogues of a sporty look. At the same time, in terms of prices, they could not even compete closely with the fourteenth.
4. Possibility of improvement. Until now, for the VAZ 2114, despite the removal of the model from production, many elements are available for external and internal tuning. Body kits, pads, moldings, spoilers, seats, optics - everything is up to your taste and budget. What is most interesting, for little money, you can organize a large-scale refinement by changing the standard VAZ 2114 beyond recognition.

Parameters

Now let's talk about the main parameters of the VAZ 2114 model.

Let's say frankly that the fourteenth was lucky because of the policy pursued by the manufacturer. The fact is that the first-born in the series was the VAZ 2115 model, which turned out to be the very first pancake lump.

Based on the mistakes made, developed for the fifteenth innovation and using the time-tested features of the nine, it was possible to create a completed and one of the most successful cars in the history of AvtoVAZ - the VAZ 2114.

How good in terms of technical characteristics this car is, you be the judge. Everyone has their own idea of ​​a good car. We tried to tell in detail about what the VAZ 2114 is.

Many believe that the time of the fourteenth model is already over, and its successor in the person of Priora clearly proves this. But is it really so? If we compare these two models, will the Priora really be able to surpass its predecessor? A large number of experts will objectively prove that it is not.

Yes, Priora is a more modern, improved car. But is it enough? We think that the domestic auto industry has a lot to strive for.

In the meantime, the fourteenth demonstrates that it is not going to leave the leading positions anywhere and is not ready for real successors. It's not time yet.
