White Priora hatchback - advantages, disadvantages of color and car tuning

White Beauty, Belyana, Snow White, White Hare - all kinds of affectionate nicknames do the drivers give to their white Priora hatchback. Indeed, this car always looks stylish and elegant. It is chosen by both women and men. This is exactly the car model that white suits very well.

In recent years, white cars have become increasingly popular among drivers. Not the least of them is the white Priora hatchback, pictures of which are posted by many users of social networks and forums. No matter how strange it may be, the white color of the car is one of the most practical.

Pros and cons of a white car

Advantages of painting a Priora white hatchback car:

• Of course, a chic appearance! White color can visually increase volume. Therefore, clean and sparkling in the sun, as if from a picture, the white Priora hatchback always has an impressive and at the same time elegant appearance.

• In dry weather, dust and dirt are much less visible on it than on cars with a dark color. Pollution becomes noticeable only from a close distance, but from a distance the car appears clean. Accordingly, cleaning costs are reduced.

• White color tends to reflect sunlight. This is especially felt in the summer heat. The white Priora hatchback (photo below) heats up much less.

• It is clearly visible on the road, including at night. This most likely determines the statistics of accidents - white cars get into them much less often.

• The purer the white color of your Lada, the less susceptible it will be to fading. In case of repairs and the need for touch-up, it will be much easier to choose a shade that best matches the original one.

• Small scratches and chips are much less noticeable. This is because paint primer is usually white. Therefore, if the scratch is shallow, then it is not visible.

• White Priora hatchback lends itself very well to modernization. Tuning (pictured), which will make your car original, can be done with your own hands.

How to determine the color of your car model

Determining exactly what color a car is painted is usually necessary for one reason. If the paint has come off on a certain area of ​​the body, you need to paint over the area, but in such a way that it doesn’t differ.

It’s easy to find out the color of your VAZ model. It will be enough to look at the trunk lid if it is a sedan or find it in the glove compartment or spare wheel well if it is a hatchback. In some cases, the code is indicated under the brake light on the spoiler.

Note. The number with the code is an ordinary, simple piece of paper, which the manufacturer calls Form 3347.

Experienced drivers recommend: if you find a piece of paper on the body, be sure to write down the number and name of the paintwork somewhere, as it is easy to lose the piece of paper or forget its location. After all, it can be erased over time. It is clear that it is much more difficult to find the code on used Vases.

In many cases, the body color is also specified in the warranty card for the car.

If you still cannot find the color code of the VAZ model, it is recommended to contact the dealer who sold the car or the previous owner.

There are a couple more methods suitable for those who purchased a car from some Valera, but he either does not know the code or does not get in touch himself.

Here's what to do:

• Use the Lada painting plan used at the factory. This is easy to do if you know the exact release date of the model. But this technique has one drawback: the car must be no older than 2005;
• Contact a professional colorist. It is enough to show a specialist the gas tank flap so that he can accurately determine the color. And that’s not all: the colorist’s services also include the production of exactly the same paint using special equipment, in the volume required by the owner.

Flaws

• The white Priora hatchback (photo below) is difficult to see in heavy snow and fog, as it blends in with the environment. In this case, good side lights and driving in compliance with all traffic rules can help.

• In wet and dirty weather it gets dirty quickly, just like cars of any other color. However, on a white car, dirt is clearly visible and striking. Therefore, in the autumn-spring slushy season you will have to wash it more often.

• Drops of bitumen that will inevitably fall on the lower part of the body if you drive along a newly repaired road are best wiped off as quickly as possible. A slight delay and the rye-colored spots will remain on the surface of the Priora hatchback white car forever.

How is the backstage replaced on a Prior?

Good day to all priority leaders!
I got a car not so long ago, just 8 months ago. I bought a used one because I mainly use it for work. The car is good, I only went to the service station once and then for preventive purposes. A month ago I decided to replace the shift knob, since the gear shift knob often stuck and was quite difficult to use. Many people think that replacing the rocker panel on a Priora is a fairly trivial matter, but I had to suffer because I had practically no experience in car repairs.

Which scenes on the Priora will work more efficiently?

Of course, replacing an old part must meet high demands, because otherwise there is no point in changing it. I decided to ask my friends (they also drive a Priora), and they advised me to buy a short-throw rocker. At first I was very doubtful, I thought that the original part would still be more suitable for the car and would work more efficiently. Therefore, I decided to read reviews about the short-stroke link.

Short-stroke scenes on the Prior - the main advantages!

After reading a lot of information, I was convinced that replacing the original rocker with a short-throw one is the best option for my car. If we summarize everything that I have read, we can highlight several important advantages of short-throw slides: clarity, small size, reasonable price and ease of use. For me, such advantages are quite enough to decide to buy such a part.

Quickly replacing the backstage on a Priora - the main steps.

For those like me who do not have much experience in car repair, I want to tell you how to quickly and easily install a new rocker. So, first we remove the lever cover, and then immediately the lever itself.

Hatchback body features

The white Priora hatchback body (photo below) also has some features that I would like to mention separately. The advantages of this design:

• Capacious trunk. The white Priora hatchback (pictured is a rear view) allows you to increase it even more if you fold the rear seat flush with the floor. In addition, by opening the rear door slightly, you can transport fairly large items.

• As you can see in the photo, the white Priora hatchback has a stylish and slightly sporty look, aimed at young buyers. The rear part of the body, made with bevels, especially emphasizes this design. The appearance of the car greatly benefits due to this, despite the fact that the useful volume of the luggage compartment is reduced.

• Judging by the reviews of passengers, sitting in the back seat in a car with a hatchback body is much more convenient.

• The interior cabin is separated from the luggage compartment by a partition, which makes it much more comfortable.

• Having a compact design and streamlined shape, the white Priora (pictured), with a hatchback body, is suitable for maneuvers both in the city and on the highway. It behaves well when overtaking and changing gears.

The hatchback body design also has a disadvantage - the passenger compartment quickly cools down when the rear door is open in the cold season.

Smart electronics

When tuning a Priora sedan or hatchback, a very useful addition will be the installation of an on-board computer that displays data from the engine. It will allow you to control the behavior of the car and, in case of problems, will signal the owner of the car about problems that have arisen. This is done by installing special small sensors throughout the machine.

A GPS navigator will be very useful. With its help, you can easily create a more convenient route.

At the same time, the chances of getting lost in an unfamiliar area are significantly reduced, since the maps loaded into the device are constantly updated.

The DVR will help you avoid unpleasant incidents. By recording all events on camera, the driver additionally provides himself with protection (if he does not violate traffic rules). In the event of incidents (accidents) where the car owner is not at fault, the registrar will become a witness confirming the innocence of the car owner.

Sport car

Very often, cars of the VAZ family are chosen as racing cars, especially for amateur competitions. One of the most suitable for these purposes is the white Priora hatchback. Pictures of sponsors advertising, riders' names and serial numbers are visible from afar on a white background.

Even the basic version of the car, the white Priora hatchback, features a sporty look. Tuning (photo below) will give it an aggressive and brutal look. Of course, a lot of work is required to upgrade the standard equipment to the racing version. But, as shown in the photo, the white Priora hatchback allows you to do it even in a garage, especially since there are no problems with purchasing components and spare parts for the Lada.

Options and price of Lada Priora hatchback

Currently, the Lada Priora hatchback has two main configurations: “Norma” and “Lux”. There are 7 “standard” versions and 3 “luxury” versions. There are two 16-valve engines to choose from and a host of options. The modern Priora has a set of all necessary functions, such as airbags, a multimedia system, power windows, a multimedia system with GLONASS navigation, climate control and cruise control. And the new interior is seriously different from what was offered before the restyling. The four-spoke steering wheel was replaced with a steering wheel of a different shape, and the buttons and switches are now pleasant to touch. Of course, I would like more comfortable seats and better quality fabric, but do not forget about the price of the Lada Priora hatchback , which is very affordable compared to foreign cars of this class.

Let's get to know each other better

VAZ has been producing Priora since 2007. It was created on the platform of the notorious “ten” and inherited a lot from it. Priora is called a car for young people. She is praised for her good speed and ability to stay on the road well. There are complaints about the build quality and the low cross-country ability is not suitable for everyone. Nevertheless, the car is extremely popular.

External upgrade

In 2013, VAZ presented an updated version of the Lada Priora. It was equipped with a number of new options, improving its technical capabilities. The car has also changed in appearance. The new Priora has modern daytime optics that turn on automatically. The bumper was slightly modified, and the grille on the radiator was made in the form of a mesh. LEDs are installed in the rear lights and fogs.

Soft-look salon

What has changed in the salon? There's a lot to be said here. The designers used finishing materials atypical for VAZ , including soft-look - a new type of plastic that looks like expensive leather and at the same time withstands external influences well.

When finishing the interior of the Lada Priora car, a new type of soft-look plastic was used

A three-spoke steering wheel, a touch screen, more comfortable and higher seats with armrests - all this is the new Priora.

Motor data

The range of engines for this car has also been expanded. The coolest of them is designed for 1.6 liters. Its power is 106 “horses,” which is achieved thanks to an updated fuel injection system. With such an engine, the car accelerates to 100 km/h in 11 seconds and is ready to “give jazz” at speeds of 185 km/h and above. Gasoline consumption is 6.9 liters in mixed mode, and on the highway - 5 liters.

The car is front-wheel drive with 5 manual transmission.

Manufacturers paid special attention to safety issues, however, if the driver's airbag is included in the basic kit, then you will have to pay extra for the passenger airbag.

White “Priora” from AvtoVAZ is a sales leader in the domestic market

Lada Priora is one of the most popular Russian-made models, produced between 2007 and 2015. Since the beginning of 2009, this car has completely replaced the Lada 110 from production. The white Priora, a photo of which can be seen in the article, has become the most popular and best-selling model in the recent history of AvtoVAZ. Thanks to this color scheme, it became possible to make the car a sales leader. Oddly enough, it was the white palette that customers liked most of all. There was noticeable competition only with specimens made in black.

Registration of repainting

As you know, complete or partial repainting of a car must be officially registered. In the first case, this is quite easy to do, but in the second, it is difficult.

These days, almost every motorist who drives a used car is faced with the desire to upgrade it. The ideal option is to sell the old model and get a new one, but this does not always work out for various reasons. Just in this particular case, you can update the “image” of your car by repainting the body or its individual, tarnished areas.

Attention. There is no need to immediately run to the traffic police for permission to paint. The car is presented to the authorities in a new color.

As mentioned above, often owners simply recognize the factory color of the car and then paint certain areas. Everything is fine, you don’t need to do anything. However, there is one caveat: over time, the paint fades in the sun, and then you have to either paint the entire car a new color (the same), or change the shade with the help of a colorist.

Whatever you say, you have to take the law into account. And new rules, introduced for no apparent reason, only spoil the whole picture. If earlier it was clearly stated what can be done and what cannot be done, today there is a kind of bureaucratic chaos. One thing is certain: it is easier to obtain documents for a completely repainted car than for a partially repainted one.

We can only hope that the kinks in the charter will be corrected soon. For owners who intended to repaint the car, it is better to update the old color using the recommendations for selecting the exact color given above.

Step-by-step instructions on how to paint a car yourself are given in various articles on our website. Photos and materials posted here will help future motorists decide on the color of the model. If you are interested in professional painting, then the price for VAZ models in service stations starts from 5 thousand rubles for one body element. It's very expensive, it's easier to learn how to do everything yourself.

Forget about fines from cameras! An absolutely legal new product - Traffic Police Camera Jammer, hides your license plates from the cameras that are installed in all cities. More details at the link.

• Absolutely legal (Article 12.2);
• Hides from photo and video recording;
• Suitable for all cars;
• Works through the cigarette lighter connector;
• Does not cause interference to radios and cell phones.

A little history

Lada Priora came in many body styles, but the most popular were the sedan and hatchback. This model has undergone significant changes in appearance and interior decoration several times. However, the most serious and high-quality modification awaited Priora closer to 2015.

In November 2014, an updated domestic car was presented in Russia - the white Priora hatchback. The restyled version featured new engines and a number of significant innovations in the interior and exterior.

Decor of plastic components

The sedan is equipped with a lot of plastic parts in the interior; fortunately, many of them have light colors and can be easily repainted. The process of painting plastic from an aerosol can requires not only a respirator and gloves, but also a degreasing liquid and a primer. During operation, it is important to prevent the formation of drips.

Another way to improve the appearance of plastic elements is to cover them with carbon film. According to many car enthusiasts, this material is durable and looks impressive. The blanks are cut with a margin of 20-25 mm at the edges, after which the film is glued to a degreased surface. Edges and curves are blow-dried to prevent kinks and kinks.

What changes in the interior awaited car enthusiasts?

The interior design has undergone major changes. Firstly, qualitatively new materials were used. For example, the manufacturer began to use soft-look plastic, which not only resembles natural leather, but is also extremely resistant to external influences. The linings on the interior trim of the doors and front panel are made from it.

Secondly, the dashboard and dashboard have changed for the better. Now the updated Lada Priora white boasts a 7-inch touch screen in the luxury version, which can be used to control music and navigation. But in budget versions, a screen is used on which the on-board computer readings are displayed. All expensive trim levels are equipped with modern climate control.

Thirdly, the appearance and design of the steering column has changed, it has become more modern and comfortable for the driver’s hands, and the seats in the 2015 Priora are also more comfortable and better.

Just to add some personality!

It would seem that there is no point in modifying a new “car”, but many people dream of becoming the owner of a model “tailored” for themselves.

In addition, there are opportunities to give the car an individual look and improve it a little.

Pay attention to the photo. It shows the tuning of the white Lada Priora.

For example, you can install fog lights or Euro handles, or you can adjust the trunk lighting by organizing power supply for the lamps through the cigarette lighter.

Eyelash covers, which are “set” on glue or tape (double-sided) are one of the most inexpensive methods of restyling; they change the contours of the headlights and give the car an aggressive look.

You can make LED lighting for the doors; when you open the door, the lighting will turn on, and when you close it, it will go out.

Also, lighting can be organized using lampshades for room lighting:

The most common and absolutely adequate attitude towards tuning a new car is not to touch anything, but to drive and enjoy it.

Any car of this model can be called a new car, because the “oldest” Priora came off the assembly line only in 2007.

And yet, motorists who decided to change the appearance of the new Lada with unusual airbrushing can be understood.

Why not pack someone into a very spacious trunk?

You can airbrush a celebrity, a friend, or yourself.

The attention of passers-by to your car is guaranteed!

However, the Priora’s appearance is also changed with body kits, starting, for example, with the front bumper, trying on the “Ladushka” with a new “face”.

There are many options, the activity itself brings only pleasant emotions, although, as a rule, there are no qualitative changes when decorating a car:

tuning is only decorative.

Do you have golden hands and inspiration?

This means that you can do the tuning of the Priora yourself, so to speak, with your own hands; otherwise, it is better to entrust the improvements to specialists.

Offered range of engines

As mentioned above, the white 2015 Priora pleased its owners with new engines of European design and production. Among the modern power units is the long-awaited 1.8 liter 4-cylinder engine, which allows it to produce 123 hp. This installation was equipped with a 16-valve DOHC timing system and a distributed fuel injection system.

Since the end of 2014, the Priora has also been equipped with a modernized 16-valve engine with a power of 106 hp. Its main change from the classic VAZ 98-horsepower engine is increased thrust due to dynamic inflation.

The third option that the white Priora is equipped with in the latest update is an engine with the factory name VAZ-21126, already used on this model since 2007. This is a classic four-stroke engine with 98 hp, recognized by many car enthusiasts as the most reliable, easy to maintain and perfect in the AvtoVAZ line.

Options and prices

The white “Priora” (see photo in the article) with restyling from 2015 had a rich design even in the “Norma” package, which included: an airbag only for the driver, height adjustment of the steering wheel, Isofix-type child seat fastening, electric windows for front windows, heated and electric mirrors, comfortable armrests, standard immobilizer and audio preparation, on-board computer, electric power steering wheel, central locking and simple alarm system. Agree, the equipment is high for a domestic car. In the “Lux” versions, the car’s functions were not inferior even to many European C-classes.

On average in Russia, a white Priora in 2015 is sold at 422 thousand rubles. Luxury configurations were offered for a respectable 550 thousand rubles.
