VAZ 2172 technical specifications. Five-door hatchback LADA Priora. Lada Priora - technical specifications, test drive and photos. Reviews of Lada Priora by its owners

In 2007 The “LADA-110” was replaced by the new “Lada Priora” family, which is still in production. At first, AvtoVAZ produced about 1,000 VAZ-2170 sedans, but already in February 2008. began to produce a model with a hatchback body shape, the VAZ-2172. Then, in October 2008 In Krasnodar, the Priora model with a station wagon VAZ-2171 was shown for the first time. By the beginning of 2009 The Priora family finally ousted the production of “LADA-110” from the assembly line. By May 2012, there are about 650,000 cars produced. In addition, AvtoVAZ took up the development of a convertible based on low-volume modifications of the coupe.

Thanks to the design and internal equipment that meets European standards, the car initially began to claim the role of modernity.

The basic equipment of the Priora was: electric power steering, electric mirrors, airbag, four-cylinder gasoline engines with a connecting rod and piston group, 1.6 volume with 8-valve and 16-valve heads, remote-controlled alarm system, improved suspension. More modern optics and a spoiler built into the rear trunk have significantly rejuvenated the car.

According to the crash test results using the EuroNSCAP method, the Priora scored 23.56 points and received a rating of “4”. According to environmental standards, the car complies with Euro-3 and Euro-4 standards.

The unique interior of the car was developed with the participation of the Italian studio “Carcerano”, thereby significantly increasing the level of equipment, safety and comfort of the Priora.

One of the essential accessories for a car is a radar detector, which can be purchased at an affordable price on this website - http://www.auto-target.ru/catalog/silverstone.html.

Technical characteristics of VAZ-2170/VAZ-2171/VAZ-2172:

Lada Priora hatchback (VAZ 2172) is a domestic Lada Priora car in a hatchback body. This body type is no less in demand than sedans. Characteristics Lada Priora hatchback practically do not differ in their performance from the characteristics of their brother - the sedan. Below is a table with the technical characteristics of the VAZ 2172.

Technical characteristics of Lada Priora hatchback They differ only in body type and interior trim. The Priora hatchback has a larger trunk, especially if you fold out the rear seat. The cars do not differ in the type and characteristics of engines. The Priora hatchback is equipped with only one engine - a 16-valve 1.6 liter that produces 98 hp. power. This is a very good indicator for a car weighing just over 1.5 tons.

Improved Lada

The new Priora model is very often compared with its predecessor, the VAZ-2112. Despite the apparent similarity, the Priora has more than enough differences with the cars of the 10th family. The geometric clarity of the body and more streamlined outlines give it a stylish appearance. The hatchback body implies a sports-class car, which is evidenced by the power of this model.

Of course, the attitude towards quality at the Volzhsky Automobile Plant that has changed for the better also plays a role. A more rigid body behaves confidently when cornering and does not “moan” on bad roads. In addition, even in a hatchback body, Priora is much safer than its predecessors thanks to airbags and amplifiers.

Asking the question: is 2013 a new car or a regular restyling of the Lada 12th model, let’s look at their similarities and differences. The appearance of the Priora is indeed a little similar to the VAZ-2112, especially its front part. The rear part looks more harmonious than previous models.

Lada Priora luxury class

In parallel with the release of the budget Lada Priora hatchback, a luxury car with many additional elements and accessories called the Priora hatchback luxury is being produced.
Luxury cars, in addition to basic equipment, are additionally equipped with a climate control system, fog lights, heated front seats, and power windows. AvtoVAZ is planning to soon add new additional elements to the luxury hatchback.

Recently, luxury Lada Priora cars have received a standard audio system. Integrated into the dashboard, the audio system includes four speakers and a highly sensitive antenna. It is both a radio receiver and a disk player, USB storage device, Bluetooth. The 2013 Lada Priora hatchback is the first domestic luxury car for which a personal audio system has been developed.

Family car

Another detail worth paying attention to is the parking sensors. Priora is the only domestic car on which sensors are already installed in production. Previously, they could only be ordered from dealers or other car service companies.

The shape of the handles has also changed; now it is a handle for a natural grip. Opening the door with such a handle is much more convenient than those that were on the 12th model. The handle is equipped with a cover in body color, which helps protect it from scratches.

If we look at the changes in the interior compared to the Lada 12th model, they are simply colossal. Different materials, different design and completely different workmanship. Comparing the front panel with the Priora sedan, at first glance, the differences do not seem obvious. But for the first time, two airbags for the driver and front passenger appeared on the Lada Priora hatchback. A button to turn on the air conditioner has also been added. , of course, is far from the standard. There are errors both in the materials and in the solutions, but progress is obvious. Today, the materials and ergonomics of the interior of the 2013 Priora hatchback are some of the best among other Russian models.

Particular respect has already been won by the rear seat, divided into two parts (2 to 1) and equipped with a backrest with a cushion. In combination with a more spacious trunk compared to its predecessors, the Lada Priora hatchback allows you to simultaneously transport large cargo and several passengers.

The Lada Priora hatchback can be called a city car, designed for the younger generation and people with an active attitude. Its main advantage is the dynamics and comfort worthy of a sports car.

Specifications

The new Lada Priora 2013 is not much different from a sedan in terms of technical characteristics. The characteristics and type of engine are also identical. This model is equipped with one 16-valve 1.6-liter engine with a capacity of 98 hp. With.

General characteristics of Priora hatchback

Lada engine structure

At the end of the 90s, almost simultaneously with the start of mass production of cars of the “tenth” family, work began on their restyling, after all, the “tenth” family was developed back in the 80s and by the beginning of 2000 could not fully compete with budget foreign cars.

The result of the restyling was the Lada Priora family of cars. The first representative of this family was a front-wheel drive sedan with the factory designation VAZ-2170, production of which started in March 2007, and on April 21 of the same year, several thousand cars went on sale.

For 10 months, the VAZ-2170 sedan was the only representative of the Lada Priora family, until in February 2008, AvtoVAZ OJSC launched another car with a 5-door hatchback body and the factory index VAZ-2172. In October of the same year, at the auto show in Krasnodar, the next and last representative of the Priora family was demonstrated - the VAZ-2171 station wagon, which was launched into production at the end of May 2009.

At first, cars of the “tenth” series (VAZ-2110/11/12) and their deep modernization in the form of the Lada “Priora” cars were produced in parallel, but from the moment the VAZ-2171 station wagon was launched into production, the “tenth” was discontinued. Thus, it was in 2009 that the Lada Priora completely ousted cars of the “tenth” family from the assembly line.

In mid-May 2012, 5 years after the start of mass production, 650 thousand cars rolled off the assembly line of the automobile plant. And in December 2015, the VAZ-2171 and VAZ-2172 cars left the Lada Priora family of cars; they were discontinued. However, it is worth noting the fact that at the beginning of 2017, the lineup of cars of the Lada “Priora” family, which can be viewed on the manufacturer’s official website, still includes a sedan, which most likely will not remain in mass production for long, because it has a serious competitor represented by the Lada Vesta sedan. The price for the Lada Priora sedan starts from 399 thousand 900 rubles for the standard configuration.

Design and Construction

Compared to its predecessors (cars of the tenth family), more than 950 fundamental changes were made to the design of Lada Priora cars and more than 2,000 new parts were introduced. The new appearance of the cars immediately catches your eye - new fenders, bumpers, radiator trim, hood and trunk lid, new headlights and taillights, exterior door handles. Finally, Volga cars received decent gaps between body elements; compared to cars of the “tenth” family, they were halved, which is good news. By and large, the appearance of the cars has changed, but there are still similarities, and if you look at the VAZ-2170 sedan, you’d be tempted to call it a “ten.”

In addition to the exterior, changes also affected the interior of the car, which was developed with the participation of designers from the Italian company Carcerano. The interior is eye-catching with a new soft plastic panel and a new instrument panel with a trip computer. In the center of the panel there is a silver-colored console overlay, in the center of which there is an oval clock. The cars of the “Priora” family now have an armrest, which the “tenth” family lacked, and some trim levels are equipped with air conditioning. In addition, Priora has become much safer compared to the Ten.

As a power unit, the Priora was equipped with various engines, both 8 and 16 valves, which received some foreign-made components, their power ranges from 81 to 120 horsepower. The first VAZ-2170 cars were equipped with a VAZ-21114 engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 81 horsepower. In addition to it, 1.6-liter engines were installed, such as the VAZ-21116, VAZ-21126 and VAZ-21127, whose power is 90, 98 and 106 horsepower, respectively. However, this is not all: the Tolyatti company “Super-auto” installs a 1.8-liter VAZ-21128 engine with a capacity of 120 horsepower on the Priora. It is worth noting that from the very beginning of production, all Priora engines comply with environmental standards Euro-3 (for Russia) and Euro-4 (for European Union countries).

The chassis of the car has also undergone modernization, the front suspension struts have changed, and the rear suspension has received new shock absorbers and a rear anti-roll bar has appeared. The cars already received electric power steering as standard (there are modifications with power steering), electronic brake force distribution (EBD) and anti-lock braking system with electronic brake assist (ABS + BAS).

In some trim levels, cars are equipped as standard with air conditioning with a climate control system, heated not only the rear but also the windshield, electric windows both front and rear, a light and rain sensor, heated and electric mirrors. In luxury trim levels, the safety system includes driver and passenger airbags.

Lada Priora cars are equipped with an audio system with a 2din head unit; in some trim levels there are 1din units with a plug or no audio unit at all. Four speakers and an external ultra-sensitive antenna with cable are integrated into the instrument panel. The audio system allows you to listen to music and read data from a CD/MP3 disc, as well as from flash drives or from a mobile phone via a special Bluetooth channel, and through this channel you can control incoming calls to a mobile phone using the buttons on the radio panel. In addition, the Priora multimedia system was equipped with GLONASS/GPS satellite navigation; the first car equipped with this system was shown in August 2010 at the Moscow Motor Show.

As of the beginning of 2017, 5 car trim levels of different price categories are offered. The price for the Lada Priora sedan in March 2017 is 448 thousand 600 rubles for the Norma configuration, and the maximum configuration, which is called Norma Black Edition, will cost half a million rubles (499 900 rubles, to be more precise). Cars are available only with a manual 5-speed gearbox and 1.6-liter engines: 8-valve with 87 horsepower and 16-valve with 106 horsepower.

Technical characteristics of Priora Coupe

The hatchback VAZ - 2172 Lada Priora has been produced since 2007 and is a worthy successor to the line, which began with the legendary "nine" - VAZ-2109. Lada Priora 2172 actually replaced the VAZ-2112. This example rolled off the production line in 2008 and covered 30 thousand km during its operation. During this time, there were no special complaints about the car, but first things first. So, as always, let's start with appearance, because people are greeted by their clothes. From the front it is an ordinary Lada Priora, the same as a sedan or station wagon, but in profile the hatchback looks prettier than its counterparts. Perhaps the side view is the most advantageous for this car; it looks dynamic and harmonious. At the front, the impression is slightly spoiled by the overly large headlights, but there are practically no complaints about the stern. But, as they say, it depends on the taste and color... If we talk about the rear of the car, then it is worth saying that the rear door opens up a fairly large opening in the luggage compartment, there are no problems with loading and unloading. The trunk volume of the hatchback is 400 liters, and with the rear seat folded down it almost triples. It is worth noting that the folding mechanism remains “ten”, it is not very convenient and the seat only folds entirely. You can open the trunk not only with the key, but also with a lever from inside the cabin. Let's move on to the interior. There are still the same “nine-ten” seats. Personally, I don’t find them very comfortable - my knees are high, I have to sit reclining, and my back gets tired on long trips. After this, the high driving position on the Chevrolet Aveo is perceived much better. Thanks to the ability to adjust the steering wheel, a driver of any height will be able to get behind the wheel. But, with my height of 186 cm, sitting in the back “behind me” is already problematic for me. True, in this class it is difficult to find a car with a “limousine” interior;) If access to the front seats is good, then seating in the back is hindered not only by the backs of the front seats, but also by the door opening itself, but this probably already refers to “nitpicking”; ) I won’t go into detail about the beauty of the interior, because everyone has their own opinion and everything can be seen in the photo, I will only say that the interior did not make an impression on me, everything was done somehow “clumsily”, the plastic is loud, and the “silver” of the center console is generally "No comments". I’d rather share my impressions of the functionality. The doors open and close with a characteristic VAZ sound. The door handles inside and outside are comfortable. The car is equipped with front electric windows, control buttons are located on the doors, which, of course, is convenient and understandable. If we talk about window regulators, then it is worth noting one nuance - the windows do not go all the way down. On the "tens" it was like this with the windows in the rear doors, but here the front windows don't go all the way down. In addition, on the driver's door there are buttons for controlling the electric mirrors (also very convenient) and locking the doors. It is worth noting that the mirrors are heated, as is the rear window. The dashboard is convenient and informative (I liked it), there is an on-board computer with control on the steering column lever. Apparently, because of this, the light control unit is placed on the panel under the left hand, it does not cause any inconvenience, but you need to get used to it. As for the steering column switches, they did not pose any inconvenience to me. The plastic of the panel is also not the most pleasant, although it is not as loud as on the “nine”. The “silvered” center console is especially depressing. There are no complaints about the ergonomics - the control of the "stove" is convenient, the air duct deflectors are in their places, but the view is not impressive. The clock looks good, but it’s unclear why they made a cover on the niche under the radio. Apparently for extra noise, because when this lid is closed, even a CD won’t fit in there. The glove compartment is quite roomy; in addition, there is an eyeglass case on the ceiling and niches in the doors, although not very roomy. As for the plastic, although it is not as loud as on previous models, it does cause problems, not only with squeaking. Some plastic interior elements simply fall off over time due to broken fasteners. The steering wheel does not look very good and is generally unpleasant to the touch (the solution is a cover), it is equipped with a hydraulic booster, and is adjustable only in height (tilt angle). Driving the car is quite easy, but at the same time, “thanks to” the power steering, the steering wheel is not very informative, so you need to try to get close to the car so as not to “do something weird,” especially on the highway. The Lada Priora hatchback is equipped with a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder 16-valve engine that produces 98 hp. With. and a 5-speed manual transmission. This engine is quite sluggish at low speeds, but if you rev ​​it up to 3000 rpm the car becomes faster. Of course, I’m not a racer, but the car’s power is quite enough for me, in any case, I can overtake a truck without any problems. At the same time, the engine is quite economical - consumption on the highway is about 6 liters per 100 km. (sometimes it can be 5.5). In the city, about 10-11 liters per hundred, of course, it all depends on the specific conditions and driving style. Sometimes there are problems with engaging first gear, you need to “restart”. The same problem occurred on previous VAZ car models. As for the chassis, it repeats that of the cars of the “tenth” family and does not present any special problems. Everything is already familiar from previous models, simple and inexpensive to maintain. I think that the suspension is well suited for our roads, or rather for the lack thereof. As for the cost of spare parts, there are special breakdowns over 30 thousand km. was not observed. Recently the timing belt tensioner pulley jammed and I had to replace the belt and roller. All other costs related only to periodic maintenance. Among the inconveniences, it is also worth noting the squeaking of the brake pads, noise in the cabin, and insufficient rigidity of the “floor” of the trunk covering the spare wheel. Is it worth buying a Lada Priora hatchback? In my opinion, the answer is not so clear-cut. The new Lada Priora VAZ - 2172 in Ukraine starts from 82 thousand UAH; you can buy its older brothers and even the Lada Granta much cheaper. A used VAZ-2112 with almost identical characteristics is cheaper. And for similar money you can buy a ZAZ Vida (Aveo) or Lanos. The choice is yours.
