Every car owner wants their car to be comfortable. Seats are the first point in guaranteeing comfort in the cabin. In modern foreign cars you can often find anatomical designs with heating, a large number of adjustments for the driver and passenger. Work is underway to improve designs on new domestic cars. But owners of old brands can only look for an alternative. Let's take a closer look at which seats are suitable for the VAZ 2114.
Installation of seats from a foreign car on a VAZ 2114:
Heated seats
Heated seats are relevant for most Russian regions. Sitting on a frozen seat in winter is not always comfortable and safe for health. Many people neglect this option, believing that heating consumes a lot of energy.
In fact, the heating option uses the same amount of energy as the parking lights. The seat warms up quickly and then remains comfortable down to -30 °C outside the car. If you have a choice of options and you have not yet decided which seats can be installed on the VAZ 2114, it is better to install heated seats.

In the 2114 model, the heating option is controlled by the on-board computer. If you independently connect the heating to the network, a short circuit may occur.
Front seat malfunctions and repairs
With proper use, the front seats of the VAZ 2107 serve for a long time and reliably. As with any other element of the car, damage to the front seats may occur during long-term use, but in most cases you can repair them yourself.
Removing the front seat
To carry out repair work, you must first remove the front seat. For dismantling and repairs you will need the following tools:
- set of wrenches;
The procedure for dismantling the front seat of a VAZ 2107:
- Move the seat forward all the way.
The back does not lock and does not recline
The impossibility of fixing or reclining the backrest occurs due to the failure of its position lock. Repair consists of replacing the retainer or its comb. It is not difficult to find such parts in the store. Repair sequence:
- Using a grinder, cut off the broken comb.

Doesn't move horizontally
If the seat does not move back and forth, then the reason is a broken slide. They consist of the following elements:
- Slide guides.
- Slide sliders.
- Video clip.
- Rubber roller ring.
- Limiter.
- Slide latch.
- Inner slide guide lock.
- Back reinforcement.
- Traction.
- Spring.
- Cotter pin.
- Screw rod with backrest tilt mechanism handle.
- Latch handle for the slide movement mechanism.
- Screw rod bracket.
In a horizontal position, the seat will not move if the slide is clogged with dirt or one of the elements is broken. Repair of the skids will be carried out in the following sequence:
- Remove the spring.
- Release the rod fastening pin.
- Unscrew the slide from the seat body.
It is necessary to clean all parts from dirt and old grease. After this, they determine whether there are any failed elements and, if necessary, replace them with new ones.
Front seat reupholstery
The front seats are usually used more often, so they get dirty faster, especially if they don't have covers. There are situations when the seat upholstery is damaged. In such cases, the chair must be re-upholstered:
- Rip out the sheathing at the seams.
- Dismantle old material.
- Blanks of new fabric are cut out according to the shape of the old sheathing.

There is a saying: “When there are many diseases, there is only one problem – the spine.” Permanent curvature of the spine and pinched nerves lead to many chronic diseases. It is better to spend many hours driving in a comfortable seat. Unfortunately, the standard VAZ seats are designed for the average driver and cannot suit everyone. If you are planning to change the seats, which seats are suitable for the VAZ 2114?
Seats for VAZ 2114
What are the seats suitable for without modifications?
Most car owners want to find seats that will fit in place, and replacing them will not take much time. But, based on the extensive information on the Internet on the topic “which seats are suitable for the VAZ 2114 without modifications,” we can conclude that in this case they install models from domestic cars: Seven, Ten, Priora, Kalina.
The AvtoVAZ plant is not always in a hurry to change the design of various elements. It's easier to do the same thing, changing the filling a little. Therefore, the sleds of these chairs are very similar and fit almost perfectly.
If we talk about suitable seats from a foreign car for the VAZ 2114, the information here is largely blurred. Many people install seats from: BMW E60, Hyundai i40 or Hyundai i30, Skoda Octavia A5, Audi A4. But before you go for disassembly, it is better to measure the length of the skid, perhaps they will be able to choose a more suitable option for your car.
But due to different body designs, problems arise that some fasteners will fit without difficulty, while others will have to be adjusted.
Types of seats
There are three types of seats:
- racing;
- sports;
- seats of increased comfort (anatomical).
Racing seats are designed to withstand high loads. The single frame is made of high quality materials. Typically, such models are much more expensive than sports and anatomical options.
Racing seats
The sports seats consist of a single rigid frame. They are adjustable, provide hip and shoulder support, and are comfortable for long rides. But due to their rigidity, such seats are not suitable for every driver.
Sports chair
Anatomical seats provide lateral support when turning, correct back position and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal diseases.
In most cases, there is no need to install racing seats on your car. And seats with increased comfort and sports options can be selected quite inexpensively if you know exactly which model you need.
High comfort chairs
Purchase of an anatomical chair and its installation
In cases where funds allow, the best solution would be to purchase an anatomical seat for a VAZ car. The cost of such chairs varies depending on the manufacturer. It is worth noting that both anatomical and sports versions of seats are currently available on the market. Despite the fact that the so-called sports seats also have many curves that provide high-quality back support while the car is moving, what distinguishes them from anatomical ones is the ability to raise and lower the backrest.
Anatomical chairs provide high-quality back support, as they have curves in the lumbar region, as well as in the upper back, neck and pelvis. Human anatomy is extremely complex, so good anatomical seats have a fairly curved shape.
Real anatomical seats for the VAZ 2114 and other models have the following advantages:
- relieve stress from the spine;
- have backrest tilt adjustment;
- more secure;
- provide optimal support for the entire body;
- repeat the anatomy of the curves of the spine;
- high ergonomics;
- increased wear resistance.
General selection conditions
- Condition: new or used. New seats are more expensive, but they will last longer. Every year, thanks to modern technology, seats become more comfortable and have new functions. Used seats can be purchased at car dismantling yards.
- Manufacturing company. The 2114 fits both seats from other VAZ models and domestic brands, as well as seats from foreign cars.
- Additional options. Headrests, armrests, and lift make the seat more comfortable and safer.
- Completeness. Basically, the availability of fasteners and accessories needs to be clarified if used seats are purchased.
Choice of seats for VAZ 2114
Covers or seats?
For many, buying new car seats is associated with the desire to transform the appearance of the interior of their car. That is, they care little about the issue of comfort or they have only recently started driving. That’s why they don’t think about the issue of convenience.
If you have ever driven modern cars from top manufacturers, you have probably felt the difference between the seats. But you can’t buy such a car for yourself yet. So why not bring your fourteenth to this level of comfort by purchasing new seats? Good idea.
The covers only create the appearance of a beautiful, cozy interior. The landing was uncomfortable and will remain so.
Set your priorities and think about what is more important to you - a healthy back or a beautiful picture. In addition, by replacing the seats, you can put very beautiful covers on them.
First, let's look at the types of seats that you can purchase for your VAZ 2114. There are three categories in total, the advantages and disadvantages of which are described in more detail in our table.
What seats fit on the VAZ 2114 without modifications?
The most budget option for replacing seats is to choose VAZ models. On 2114 they install seats from nine, ten and other models.
The UNP company produces anatomical and sports seats for VAZ models. The seats are made of quality materials and are sold complete with mountings and accessories.

If you install a UNP seat for the driver, there will be no legroom for the rear passenger.
The Viller company offers sports and anatomical seats for all VAZ models, including 2114. The seats are certified according to GOST. They relieve stress from the spine and have enhanced lateral support. There are heated seat options.
Viller seats for VAZ 2114
Comfortable and high-quality seats from foreign cars for the VAZ 2114 can be supplied from Audi A4, Hyundai Lantra, Opel Vectra, Opel Astra and Ford. If you are going to disassemble, you need to measure the dimensions of the seats and photograph the mounting points so that you can compare and make the right choice. It is better to select seats from a donor car with the same external dimensions as 2114.
Ford seats are sometimes too wide. If you install such seats on a car, it may be difficult to pass inspection.

If the seats are adjustable, you need to check their condition at the place of purchase.
When considering the options for which foreign car the seats for the VAZ 2114 are suitable for, keep in mind that for a comfortable fit it is better for a fist to fit between your head and the ceiling of the cabin.
Before making the final choice of a seat, you can try it out and check for ergonomics by sitting in the cabin of the same car as the donor car.
We improve the interior with covers
If the design of the seats to some extent suits the owner of the VAZ 2114, then the main problem in the cabin is the presence of secondary factors:
- wear and tear of upholstery materials;
- all kinds of pollution;
- greasy spots.
Naturally, such an arrangement is unlikely to suit any owner of a VAZ 2114 car. The upholstery of domestically produced cars wears out very quickly - all this is the result of the use of low-quality materials.
If the upholstery in the car has not yet lost its original appearance and is in good condition, then it would be advisable to protect the seats with special covers.
In fact, this is one of the cheapest tuning options, which contributes to the following improvements:
- improving the appearance of the interior and giving it some individuality;
- comprehensive protection against abrasion and contamination;
- Some manufacturers offer products with special inserts that improve the comfort of the driver and passengers.
Car covers are inexpensive and easy to clean from all kinds of dirt. There are a large number of options on the market today, among which you can easily get lost. First, just decide whether to buy ready-made covers or have them made to order.
Ready-made solutions include covers with padding polyester inserts that provide back support. Such products, as a rule, have increased resistance to wear. Variations of available colors will allow you to choose covers to match other interior elements so that everything looks harmonious.
Heated seats
Heated seats are relevant for most Russian regions. Sitting on a frozen seat in winter is not always comfortable and safe for health. Many people neglect this option, believing that heating consumes a lot of energy.
In fact, the heating option uses the same amount of energy as the parking lights. The seat warms up quickly and then remains comfortable down to -30 °C outside the car. If you have a choice of options and you have not yet decided which seats can be installed on the VAZ 2114, it is better to install heated seats.

In the 2114 model, the heating option is controlled by the on-board computer. If you independently connect the heating to the network, a short circuit may occur.
Principles of installing covers
Putting on the second upholstery is quite easy, and you can handle this task yourself. As a rule, covers are sold as a set for all car seats or only for the two front seats. The kit includes upholstery for seats, backrests and headrests. Before you start working, you need to go through all the elements and determine where each of them is intended.
When reupholstering the interior with covers yourself, it is worth keeping in mind that the left and right seats can differ significantly from each other, therefore the covers on them must be worn accordingly. Installation begins with the front seats. There is no need to dismantle them, only the headrest, if there is one. First, the back is stretched and the folds are smoothed out.
Then the elastic bands located along the central seam are secured with hooks. They must be threaded through the gap between the back and the seat. After this, the lower part of the car cover is put on. The head restraints are installed last. To put the covers on the rear row of seats, they must be dismantled and pulled out of the car.
The cover with a zipper is intended for the backrest, without it - for the chair. If the factory upholstery of VAZ seats has already become unusable, then before putting on the covers, it should be completely replaced. The procedure for completely reupholstering the interior involves dismantling the seats, and it is better to entrust it to professionals with special skills and tools.

Many car enthusiasts are wondering how to remove seats on a VAZ 2114 or how to replace them?
Seat vaz 2114
The reasons for such manipulations can be very different:
- wear or serious damage to seats;
- the need to replace the floor covering;
- the need to glue the floors with soundproofing material;
- reupholstery of seats with new material (for example, leather);
- installation of alternative seats (both rear and front).
When choosing new seats to replace the basic ones, you should first of all pay attention not to their convenience and performance, but to the compatibility of their fastening with the fastening of the car.
In addition, various other situations may arise in which it may be necessary to dismantle and subsequently install the seats. We’ll look at how to do this as quickly and correctly as possible below.
Cover tension problem
Whatever material the cover is made of, it must be pulled over the rear and front passenger and driver's seats of the VAZ 2109. The fabric is easily stretched onto a convex surface, but you cannot stretch it onto a concave surface. Which seats are suitable for tensioning depends on their design.
The seats of the “nine” are quite significantly concave in the transverse direction, but, fortunately, slightly convex in the longitudinal direction. This allows you to attach the cover to the back and seat cushion of the Nine, although not too confidently. The problem of fixing the cover on the back is solved by two additional attachment points in the middle of its field.
Replacing rear passenger seats
In addition to replacing or repairing the front seats, quite often the question arises of how to remove the rear seat on a VAZ 2114. In most cases, such an operation becomes necessary when the car is often used to transport passengers in the rear seats, and the existing seats are for some reason reasons are not satisfied.
In this case, you can dismantle the base seats and install new ones in their place - more appropriate to the anatomical data of the passengers (currently, the choice of such seats, having a wide variety of shapes and sizes, is quite wide).
In addition, many car enthusiasts install rear seats from various foreign cars, most often from Ford or Audi - since they are much more comfortable than the “original” VAZ seats, and at the same time can be installed in the car with minimal changes to the design of the fasteners.
Replacing the rear seat of a VAZ 2114
In order to remove the seats themselves, you need to perform a number of simple operations:
- use a flat screwdriver or a strong blade to pry off the protective lining located just below the seat cushion;
- unscrew the two fastening bolts holding the pillow from the sides (a 10 mm socket is required);
- unscrew the bolts located at the bottom of the seats (with the same head);
- remove the vacated seats (they are no longer secured by anything).
New rear seat
Installation of new passenger seats in place is carried out (as in the case of the front seats) in exactly the same order, but in reverse order.
If, instead of the basic one, a seat from a different brand of car is installed, then there is a possibility that additional changes will need to be made to its design (nominally, additional mounting holes will be drilled, but in most situations these changes may be much more).
Rear sofas - what to replace them with in the VAZ 2110?
If everything is approximately clear with the front seat options, then the rear sofas require a special approach. We are talking about an unconventional size and rather strange types of fastening of a sofa from AvtoVAZ. If you are far from automotive, it is better not to modify the rear seats yourself. To do this you will need the help of specialists
It is important to find a car of the same size, as wider cushions and backrests will have to be redesigned. The installation process is quite complicated:
you need to choose good rear sofas from models such as Volkswagen Polo, Hyundai Solaris, KIA Rio, Renault Logan, and you can also pay attention to Toyota Corolla; Next comes the dismantling of the seats of your car, which is not particularly difficult - just unscrew a few fasteners to get all the structural parts without any difficulties; Next, you should try on new seats, it is quite possible that you will have to order their re-upholstery at a studio, since it is very difficult, and sometimes impossible, to guess the size perfectly; the next step is the installation of fasteners, it is necessary to remove the fastening parts from the VAZ seats and rearrange them on the purchased pillows and backrests for high-quality fastening; after that, all that remains is to install the finished seats in place and enjoy the updated interior of your car, also don’t forget to take a photo and share it on the forums and in the logbook.
Of course, this sounds much simpler than it is done. The process may take more than one day, especially if the seats need to be altered, shortened or lengthened. When choosing seats for the rear of a car, it is best to buy a whole interior set. This will help significantly reduce the cost of further alterations. After all, if you install chairs of different colors, you will have to sew covers or change the upholstery and spend extra money.
Alternative seating
As we can see from the above, the answer to the question - how to raise the rear seat of a VAZ 2114 - is quite simple, since it is attached using a minimum number of fixing elements and does not require the use of a large number of tools. But another, no less important issue is the choice of new, alternative seats.
Many motorists, as already mentioned, install on their VAZ 2114 seats from other models and even other brands of cars (for example, seats from Ford). At the same time, when choosing them, you should pay close attention to their dimensions and fastening features (although very often motorists look specifically at the “performance” characteristics - convenience, wear resistance, anatomy, etc.).
New front seats
The same rule applies to the front seats - the fewer modifications that need to be made during installation, the better. It should also be noted that when replacing the front seats, you should pay attention to the so-called “anatomical” seats (for example, manufactured by UNP).
They allow you to spend long periods of time driving and travel for many hours without feeling any fatigue or discomfort in your back and joints (such seats are especially recommended for frequent and long drives in urban environments).
Dismantling
Before installing new chairs, you will have to get rid of the old ones. Accordingly, dismantling work cannot be avoided.
To work you will need:
- Flat-head, durable screwdriver;
- Set of heads;
- Collar;
- Ratchet.
The procedure itself looks like this:
- Pull the seat forward all the way.
- Remove the metal cables that allow the seats to move forward and backward more smoothly.
- Now move the seat as far back as possible.
- You will have access to the four nuts that hold the chair to the bracket. They need to be unscrewed.
- Raise the seat slightly to remove the two rear mountings to the skid. There are regular bolts there.
- Now carefully remove the seat from the car.
- Do a similar procedure with the second chair.
The installation of new seats depends entirely on the features of their design. There are no universal instructions for installation.
Remove and remove
Next comes the process of installing new chairs. Before doing this, be sure to clean the mounting points, the bottom of the cabin, and get rid of all existing traces of rust.
Do a fitting and determine whether the new seats require additional mounting holes. Try to choose kits that do not require complex installation work. Otherwise, you will create a bunch of unnecessary problems for yourself.
Today there are a lot of seat options on the market that are significantly superior in functionality and ergonomics to the standard seats from the VAZ 2114, but at the same time almost perfectly fit the existing mounting features.
