The modern automobile market is more diverse than ever. Most large manufacturers create dozens of models, occupying the narrowest niches in the struggle for a picky and extremely demanding buyer. In Russia, domestic cars that came out from under the wing of AvtoVAZ are quite popular. In this article we will talk to you about one of the models of this company - VAZ-211440. Interior and exterior design, handling, technical characteristics, tuning options - you will find all this below.
Redesign
This model rolled off the assembly line in 2007 (serial production of the original 2114 began in April 2003), earning unprecedented popularity among millions of drivers. VAZ-211440 is a 5-door hatchback, also known by another name - “Samara-2”. It is a modernization of the VAZ-2109 (in common parlance – “nine”). Most of the changes affected the front part of the body; they significantly influenced the appearance of the car. The release of the model continued the trend involving the sale of “family” cars well suited for Russian roads. The latter, as you know, are not of impeccable quality. Production of the VAZ-211440 modification, photos of which are presented in our article, continued until December 2013.
Over the 10 years of production (basic version 2114), the car became one of the best-selling models ever to come out of AvtoVAZ. The car is the best option for a family car for people on a limited budget. Its cost ranges from 150 to 200 thousand rubles. By the way, the model was originally called VAZ-2114, but since 2003, production of a modification with an improved engine and environmental class began. Our hero is an amazing car that combines good technical characteristics, comfort and design. In 2013, it was replaced by the Lada Priora, which also became popular.
Improved aerodynamics
The VAZ 2114 car excels in aerodynamic characteristics thanks to its well-designed body lines, providing excellent streamlining. As a result of the change in appearance, the drag coefficient has decreased.
External aerodynamic improvements of the Lada2114 Samara-2 also affected changes in the position of the air flow separation point. To do this, the designers had to change the angle of inclination of the most aerodynamically active front part of the car - the hood. The front fenders have also undergone changes.
As a result of the redistribution of the air flow, a smaller part of it is directed under the bottom, while the larger part is directed onto the hood and spreads over the body. These characteristics change the amount of total lift force, as a result of which the front and rear axles are unloaded. The even distribution of lift force allows the hatchback to behave in a balanced manner during high-speed driving.
Car appearance
The exterior of the car deserves many praises, although there is not the slightest hint of luxury here. The model attracts the eye with smooth lines and attractive slanted optics. Looking at the car from different angles, it can be noted that the design of the VAZ-211440 compares favorably with its predecessor with a new hood, bumper, headlights and radiator trim. The design of the car has become more European, reminiscent of some models from Renault, Dacia and Opel. This adaptation to Western analogues attracted a lot of attention from potential buyers, who immediately liked this car. New fenders and moldings are two other elements that have undergone noticeable changes. As for the bumper, it was raised slightly relative to the ground so that the car could travel not only along city streets, but also on country roads. The rear part of the body has remained almost unchanged.
The VAZ-211440 car has become much more stable and maneuverable while driving, which was facilitated by the low landing. Stunning aerodynamic qualities allow you to feel more confident on the road, which is good news. Engineers equipped the car with 14-inch wheels on stamped rims. The dimensions have remained virtually unchanged since the days of the “nine”, being 4.12 meters in length, 1.65 in width and 1.4 in height.
What can you say about the interior decoration?
There is not much to say about the design of the VAZ-21140 car - it was outdated in the mid-90s. But at this price point you don’t have to think much about design. The car looks quite acceptable and definitely doesn’t cause any strong hostility on the roads. The interior of Samara-2 is simple, the finishing materials are extremely budget-friendly, especially the plastic dashboard. Soundproofing forces the owners to improve it. The salon is quite cramped. While it is still possible to sit in the front, the rear passengers absolutely do not have enough legroom. The trunk volume is 623 liters, but the high threshold height is inconvenient when loading.
Car interior
As with the exterior, our heroine’s interior has become more refined, impressing with modern design and equipment. Of course, Western competitors remain far ahead, but the price for a Russian car is corresponding. Despite the relatively cheap materials and hard plastic, it is pleasant to be inside the car. Some details are frankly pleasing to the eye. In the maximum configuration, the hatchback boasts a good instrument panel, an on-board computer, heated seats, electric windows for the front doors, a new dashboard and a heating system. In general, a lot of work has been done. Despite the use of mostly inexpensive materials in the finishing, good ergonomics and the joining of panels in the interior immediately gives a feeling of good quality and thoughtfulness in every detail.
The on-board computer displays the necessary minimum of useful information. It feels like the developers also thought about sound insulation. The sounds of the engine and the environment now penetrate into the cabin less clearly, making the trip more comfortable and enjoyable. Of course, this is a novelty for drivers who have moved from younger models.
The car is very spacious and can easily accommodate five adults. The rear row of seats can be folded, allowing you to significantly increase the trunk volume. The latter is especially important when traveling long distances or transporting large items. Finally, the car doors were equipped with a special mechanism that allowed them to open almost 90 degrees, making it easier to get in and out.
Design
All modifications of the engine installed on the VAZ 2114 have a block cast from cast iron and a fuel injection system. Despite the design solutions used to improve dynamic and environmental performance, the design of the VAZ 2114 engine has retained its simplicity and reasonable maintenance cost.
Operation and resource availability
An oil change should be done every 9-11 thousand km.
Regardless of the modification, 3.2 liters will be required to change the oil. Recommended viscosity: 5W-30, 10W-40, 5W-40, 15W-40. According to the manufacturer, the engine life is 150 thousand km. (200 thousand km for Priora motor). Practice has shown that with proper maintenance, the engine can cover up to 250 thousand km.
Failure to comply with maintenance standards and improper tuning of the VAZ 2114 engine significantly reduces its service life.
Features and Disadvantages
Popular faults
Due to the imperfect quality of the unit and the large number of low-quality spare parts, the motor and attachments require increased attention.
Main problems and possible causes:
VAZ-211440: technical characteristics, fuel consumption and gearbox
When the model was announced, no one expected a big breakthrough. Before us is a typical budget car with an 82-horsepower 1.5-liter engine. The power figure has increased since its predecessor, where it was 72 horsepower. Initially, the car was equipped with an 8-valve 1.5-liter engine, but in 2009 engineers replaced this part (modifications VAZ 211440-26 and 211440-24) with a more efficient one, installing a 16-valve gasoline engine with a volume of 1.6 liters. Power increased to 89 horsepower.
In this model, the position of the catalyst was shifted towards the motor. In the “nine” it was located under the bottom. The engine, in turn, was dressed in a decorative cover. As for the transmission, the car is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission and a reinforced clutch. The gear movements are carried out simply and without much effort. Tandem motor - gearbox is generally not bad. Fuel consumption in the urban cycle is less than 7 liters per 100 kilometers. Finally, we will provide figures characterizing the technical characteristics of the VAZ-211440 car regarding speed gain. The car is capable of reaching 185 km/h. Acceleration to 100 km/h is achieved in 11 seconds, which is quite good for this class.

Selection and purchase
After receiving my license, I drove my father’s car, a 2007 VAZ 21074, of all the ones I tried, it is the best, I have never seen a better car than this one. My father said that we would buy me a car by the fall. You can choose from VAZ 2114 to Kalina.
I really liked VAZ 2112 hatchbacks, so I wanted to buy a twin-wheel drive, but the budget dictated its terms and my father did not quite agree. Until recently I was in favor of a VAZ 2112, until we came across a VAZ 2114. Year 2006, color: golden-dark green, sold by the owner himself, that’s when I realized that this car suits me and I don’t need anything else. We drew up a purchase and sale agreement and I became the owner of this fourteenth.
The deciding factors when choosing were:
- Drive: front, and only front.
- Condition: no obvious defects, no accidents, no capital.
- Body color: dark green, dark blue, dark cherry, whitest.
- No tuning, no modifications, no alterations, no LPG.
- Number of hosts: no more than 3.
- Year of manufacture: from 2004.
- Body: hatchback, sedan.
- Mileage: up to 100 thousand km (this point was not met).
- First impression.
- And of course the budget.
Pros and cons of the car
- Front-wheel drive - front-wheel drive in winter!
- Economy: on the highway in winter the consumption showed 6.3 liters per 100 km.
- Engine: reliable and simple.
- Salon: not small and not big – just right.
- Trunk: 7 canisters of 20 liters each or 3 bags of 50 kg each, convenient to put in and easy to get out.
- The price of consumables, mostly the prices in the store are pleasantly surprising.
- The head light is just a huge minus!
- The rear parcel shelf, for me, rattles barely noticeably, although there is such a thing.
- Adjusting the seats, on the seven it is much more convenient to adjust, pull - lay down, pull - lift, but here - twist and twist.
Service history
- The grenade is left outer, the rubber cover has come off + dirt = a dead grenade, the culprit is himself, he didn’t notice.
- Replacing burnt out light bulbs on the instrument panel.
- Engine diagnostics, the “Injector” light came on.
- Replacement of rear stops, natural wear.
- The sound signal does not work properly: it does not always work, it is waiting for correction.
- The rear fog lights do not work properly, what can you say - Chinese diode headlights, they are waiting for re-soldering or another method of repair.
Opinion and other thoughts
This car was bought for me to provide me with transportation for commuting to work - from work, to leave my father's seven alone, and for my personal use. I am absolutely satisfied with my car.
The VAZ 2114 is a car for young guys, I don’t mean “for smart guys,” but just young guys (girls, too) who have received a license and are mastering driving techniques and the structure of a car.
Drove by today
6000 km. I accelerated mine to 160 km/h. This was a test of opportunity, not a reckless act. In everyday driving, I do not exceed more than 30 km/h from the traffic regulations. I also tried the handbrake, how could I do without it, but also in an open field and without a threat to myself and others.
The car is worthwhile, for those who are going to buy a used one, the main thing is to look for one that is carefully used and well-maintained, not raped by a “clean boy” or a master collective farmer. You can modify it to suit yourself whenever and however you want, it depends on your imagination.
P/S. I still haven’t come up with a name for my car: a basin or a four/chepyrka is not for me.
Control
Surely many are interested in the question: “What is the car like in motion and how is it controlled?” The answer is quite predictable - better than all its predecessors. The car behaves quite compliantly on the road. It does not skid on sharp turns, and the trajectory does not change as sharply and chaotically as was observed in younger models. When picking up high speed, the car behaves predictably, and overtaking is easy for it, despite the weak technical component.
Potholes of decent size, pits, various types of unevenness, tram rails - all this is passed without creaks, knocks or breakdowns. The suspension is dense and moderately stiff. The body does not creak, and the plastic does not make annoying sounds either.
8V or 16V
Working at a Lada car dealership... I collected a bunch of information about these engines :) 11183— Installed on: 2114, Kalina all body configurations standard and norm, granta-standard
The engine is not whimsical, there is no fear of the timing belt breaking, a car with this engine has a lot of free space in the engine compartment, which will allow you to change the starter, alternator, gene and timing belts without a lift, etc. Works like a tractor! It starts well in cold weather if you have a good battery; if the battery is weakly charged, it throws spark plugs in cold weather...
engine 2190— Installed on Grants starting from the norm with painted bumpers, Kalina NEW from 2013, Priora standard configuration.
A motor with a top from 1118 and a piston from the well-known 21126 has the opportunity to meet! Although everyone coming to the salon hopes that this is not the case XD they began to install motor-geared starters on these motors, which turn an order of magnitude faster! It works more balanced than 1118. It has low fuel consumption and at the same time the efficiency is greater than that of 21124, just like 1118 is easy to maintain.
21124— Installed on 2110-12, 2114 super cars!
16v motor with hydraulic compensators! Automatic valve adjustment! Maintaining the oil level is very important; engines with hydraulic compensators do not like oil starvation! I always made sure that the level was at the highest risk. BRUTAL fuel consumption especially in winter! 13-14 liters is like two fingers...
But at the same time, it is reliable during 2 years of operation; I only changed consumables; there wasn’t a day when I didn’t turn it until almost 5 thousand. The motor does not run, unlike 2190,21126,19994,21127 which are also more economical...
It is precisely due to this that 21126 and others. Motors with this piston have more efficiency and spin up faster!
motor 21126—The most common motor in the Auto-VAZ line is installed on the priors from the standard configuration, on all others in the luxury configuration, with some exceptions and in the norm. Naturally 2114.
And there were many such cars (the pump and idler pulley jammed. VERY RARELY the belt broke!
Motor 21127— Installed on grants in luxury, viburnum new, Priora luxury.
This is never a new motor! this is the same 126th! has the same disadvantages as 21126! Its power increased from 97.8 hp to 106.8! And all this due to: Intake receiver, and antediluvian phase distribution, different firmware! Also on it, in place of the air pressure sensor, there is a DBP, who knows, he will understand) At lower levels, due to the supply of compressed air, the engine began to drive more interesting! but in general the same 126th.
And still, I would choose engines 21126, 21127 because there is no need to be afraid of encounters; these engines save on gasoline, they are more dynamic and quieter.
And the most complaints about it are because it is installed on almost all AvtoVAZ models. I forgot to mention the engine 11194 - the same 126 only with a volume of 1.4. And about the Niva motor, the engine is eight-valve with HYDRAULIC COMPENSATORS, the only eight-valve with them!
Thank you for your attention! I hope this helps someone make the right choice!

Car tuning
When talking about car tuning, you should take into account many of the subtleties that arise during such an interesting process. When tuning a VAZ-211440, the spare parts for which are not very expensive, you need to remember about the standards that require approval from competent persons. Before you start improving your car, you need to contact the traffic police, providing them with a statement stating the planned changes to the design of the car. This is a mandatory item, neglecting which can result in a hefty fine. Next, officials issue a permit containing conditions for the execution and procedure for issuing a document confirming the technical safety of the car. If global changes are planned, an assessment by specialists is required, as well as attached technical documentation.
Upon completion of the technical work, the owner of the car must provide another application, which must indicate all the changes made, their scale and quality. Then the owner of the car sends it for technical inspection, after which the data is recorded in the registration documents. As you can see, there is a lot of work.
Owner reviews
Most owners of the super car VAZ 2114 emphasize its modern and attractive appearance. Compared to old foreign cars, this car is cheaper, and according to other reviews from car enthusiasts, this hatchback is easy to drive. The car of the domestic automobile industry is not fastidious in maintenance. You can buy inexpensive parts for it in auto stores.
During the improvement, the power unit turned out to be quite playful.
Also, car owners note the new height of ground clearance, because it now allows them to use the car not only for city trips, but also the ability to drive out of town.
For all car enthusiasts who like to make various improvements to their cars with their own hands, in other words, perform tuning. It is ideal for such car owners to make various upgrades to it, both externally and internally.
Engine tuning
When seriously considering the issue of tuning for a car such as VAZ (Lada) 211440, it is worth noting the fact that the car is perfect for such a bold undertaking. Professional modernization will allow it to reach incredible speeds, up to 200 km/h, and will also give it excellent handling. This model is available with many tuning packages, created taking into account different needs and wishes. If you want to get the most out of your car, there are all possibilities for this. Spare parts can be purchased at car markets and specialized stores. Fortunately, there are quite a few of these operating.
One of the most popular modifications is engine improvement, which allows you to significantly increase the power of the base engine or completely replace it with a sports analogue. For small tuning, it is enough to reflash the control unit, as well as replace several factory parts. After simple steps, the performance of the power unit can increase by 10-15%. If you want to further improve the engine, you need to change the cylinder head, bore the valves and install a new mechanism that distributes gas.
For real extreme sports enthusiasts, there are radical methods to increase engine power. For example, you can install a turbine on the VAZ-11440 engine or replace the old crankshaft with a sports version with an increased piston stroke. The latter will provide more torque, increasing the performance of the power unit. This option is quite risky, so you need to approach the decision carefully. There are also factory modifications of the engine, an example of which is the VAZ-211440 engine. 11183 with increased torque.
When tuning a gearbox, you need to change the gear ratios. The main gear and row are selected depending on the specific types of engine, which will be explained to you in detail in workshops and stores. Self-locking differentials can significantly increase the transmission of torque to the car's wheels, allowing for a significant increase in low-end traction during intense acceleration.
Features of the power unit
The first “fourteenth” VAZ models were equipped with injection engines characterized by a displacement of 1499 cm³ and a power of 57.2 kW. Since 2007, under the hood of the Lada 2114 Samara-2 there was a four-stroke gasoline engine with a displacement of 1599 cm³, providing a power of 59.5 kW or 80 hp. With. This engine met the parameters of the Euro 3 eco-standard. The latest modernized model with the index 211440-24 has a sixteen-valve engine with an output of 89 horsepower.
The power supply system using distributive (phased) injection provides high dynamic capabilities, ensuring acceleration to 100 km/h in just 13 seconds. The maximum speed of the VAZ 2114 is 160 km/h. At the same time, the car consumes gasoline economically - only 9 l/100 km in the city.
A special feature of the engine characteristics of this model is the original location of the ceramic catalyst - near the engine itself (unlike its predecessors, which had a catalyst under the bottom). The difference between the cylinder block of the VAZ engine of the “fourteenth” model Lada Samara-2 is its changed volume, achieved by increasing the height of each of the cylinders by 0.23 cm.
Suspension upgrade
Basic characteristics of the VAZ-211440 has a good suspension that allows you to drive on Russian roads without any problems. However, fine tuning will make it stiffer, for which you need to get high-quality shock absorbers. In order to reduce roll angles, it is recommended to install rigid anti-roll bars.
Don't forget about the wheels if you're planning on tuning the suspension. The visual component comes to the fore. For the “fourteenth” there is a wide variety of alloy wheels available in many specialty stores and markets.
Differences 14 Super-auto from regular
The main difference between these cars is their engine. U 2114 Super-auto
The difference in engines is immediately visible) The 14 which produces 81 horses and the 14 Super-auto which produces 90 (124 engine) or 98 (126 engine) ... Immediately rushes into eyes glass spacer with extra. engine support! It also has Struts from Priora and barrel springs, which makes the car more assembled and stiffer by about 20% of the usual... plus additional ground clearance... for clarity) what kind of jeep it is)
Visually, the car cannot be distinguished from a regular one)) it is given away by the emblem
And also the presence of 14 discs from the factory, compared to 13 on the regular 14) The car has not undergone any external changes) The next difference is the brake discs of 14 radius, thanks to which 14 discs cost, because 13 no longer fit) The rear beam is from the priors... it is compared to the usual 14 beam! We also didn’t forget about the clutch, it’s reinforced, now we take the clutch kit not from 14, but from 12... Well, the last difference, though not everyone has these seats - Recaro and an armrest
In general, all these modifications are already from the factory, giving the car clearer steering and composure, good brakes and, thanks to the light weight and the new engine, very good dynamic readings! Well, a table for comparison -

Improvement of appearance
Well, where would we be without the exterior? Perhaps one of the most popular tuning elements designed to improve the appearance of a car is aerodynamic body kits. The car becomes much more beautiful and impressive, attracting the eyes of passers-by and other drivers. Bumpers, moldings, rear-view mirrors, spoilers – there are a lot of tuning options. High-quality parts are quite expensive, which needs to be taken into account. In certain situations, the price of all spare parts may exceed the cost of the car itself. A VAZ-211440 produced in 2010 now costs about 150 thousand rubles. At the same time, headlights alone can cost 30-40 thousand rubles. The most effective design is achieved through the painstaking work of engineers reworking body parts. As a rule, the latter consist of introducing air intakes on the roof and hood, installing a spoiler and side curbs, painting individual parts of the body, and the like.
Characteristics of motors 2114
Since the release of the Lada Samara VAZ-2114, the technical characteristics of the gasoline drive have been constantly improved. Owners of domestic cars, in principle, do not have questions about what kind of oil to pour into the engine, since standard requirements apply for Zhiguli, Lada and Samara - 5W30 or 10W30.
In addition, you should know what kind of oil to use in transmission gears - the instructions from the AvtoVAZ manufacturer recommend using the GL-4 group of lubricants with a viscosity of 80W85 (mineral), 75W90T (synthetic) or 85W90 (semi-synthetic).
After filling with synthetics, the box becomes noisy, the oil is more expensive, but the lubricant is mostly imported, which provides additional guarantees. Domestic manufacturers most often produce semi-synthetics of average quality for engines and transmission gearboxes.
The technical characteristics of the engine are as follows:

For high-quality maintenance of internal combustion engines, the engine manufacturer issues a manual containing a description of the drive parameters, the frequency of replacing consumables and step-by-step repair operations. The same operating manual recommends the volume of oil in the gearboxes in the engine.
Interior tuning
The last type of tuning is interior modernization. Most enthusiasts install LED lighting on the dashboard, which looks very stylish. You can replace the seats with sports versions or more comfortable ones made from quality materials. Loading the machine with all kinds of equipment is another way to improve. An acoustic system, a GPS navigator, a sophisticated on-board computer – there’s a place for everything. You can complete the tuning by tinting the windows. The main thing is not to overdo it. The interior of the VAZ-211440 is quite conservative and boring, so tuning will only benefit the car.
Cooling
This moment of installation becomes a real problem, because the cooling systems are very different. The algorithm of actions here will be somewhat variable, everything will depend on what you can afford:
If you have the money, you can immediately change the radiator to 2112, but at the same time you will have to fool yourself with modifications to the “TV”, because the new radiator will be much wider. But you can leave the native one, then the problem will arise in the following point:
Although there won’t be any special cooling problems with the original radiator, the radiator from 2112 will more fully cope with cooling the Priorov “heart”.
