Body dimensions of Lada Priora hatchback

The production of the restyled LADA Priora (“Lada Priora”) began in November 2013. The following cars of this family roll off the assembly line of JSC AVTOVAZ: VAZ-2170 - with a sedan body, VAZ-2171 - with a station wagon body, VAZ-2172 - with a body hatchback (five-door and three-door). The cars can be equipped with two four-cylinder sixteen-valve engines with a volume of 1596 cm3 and a power of 98 and 106 hp. Toxicity standards comply with Euro-4 standard. The cars are equipped with a five-speed manual transmission with front-wheel drive.

The updated LADA Priora meets modern requirements for passive safety. The front and rear bumpers are made of impact-resistant material to absorb impact energy during a collision. The B-pillars, roof and sills are reinforced. Metal reinforcements are installed in all doors to improve resistance to side impacts.

The information is relevant for Priora models 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2022 model years.

The basic equipment of the car includes: a tilt-adjustable steering column, power windows for the front doors, a driver's airbag, and electrically adjustable exterior mirrors. The car's headlights can operate as daytime running lights, which do not blind drivers in the oncoming lane and significantly reduce energy consumption.

To better meet customer needs, the vehicle is equipped with various options. These include: front passenger airbag, front seat belt pretensioners, anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), cruise control, air conditioning, power windows on all doors, power mirrors, modern multimedia system, on-board computer , automatic windshield wiper control, automatic exterior lighting control, turn signals in the side mirrors, fog lights, heated windshield.

LADA Priora is a compact, economical car, well adapted to the conditions of our climate and the characteristics of Russian roads.

The dimensions of the restyled Lada Priora have not changed significantly. Although, due to the new front and rear bumpers, the length of the Lada Priora has changed by several millimeters.

As before, the restyled Lada Priora sedan has the longest length, which in the new version is 4,350 mm. The length of the station wagon is 1 centimeter shorter, but the Priora hatchback is even smaller, the length of this version of the body is 4210 mm. The width of the entire family is 1,680 mm and the wheelbase is the same for all 2,492 mm. But everyone’s height is different, the Lada Priora sedan is 1,420 mm, the hatchback is 1,435 mm, but the station wagon is generally 1,508 mm in height. The high height of the Priora station wagon is explained by the presence of roof rails. In a hatchback, the design of the rear part of the body is such that the car turns out to be taller than a sedan.

As for the ground clearance or ground clearance of the Lada Priora , the manufacturer indicates a figure of 165 mm for the sedan and hatchback, while the ground clearance for the Lada Priora station wagon is 170 mm . However, in fact, the ground clearance is greater; just pick up a tape measure and make sure of this. But the manufacturer is not mistaken; he simply indicates the vehicle’s ground clearance when fully loaded. At the same time, manufacturers of foreign cars are cunning and indicate the ground clearance of their cars in an unloaded state. therefore, the real ground clearance of foreign cars and their official data often do not coincide.

The luggage compartment volumes of the new version of Lada Priora in all three bodies have changed little. The sedan's trunk volume is 430 liters. The luggage compartment volume of the Priora hatchback is smaller, only 306 liters, but if you fold the rear seats (which cannot be done in a sedan), the volume increases to 705 liters. In the Priora station wagon, the luggage compartment volume is 444 liters, and with the seats folded down it reaches 777 liters. Unfortunately, the rear seats do not fold flat with the floor, and the large wheel arches eat up quite a lot of luggage space.

Further detailed data on the dimensions of the Lada Priora are in the table below.

Dimensions of Lada Priora

Length, mm	4350	4210	4340
Width	1680	1680	1680
Height	1420	1435	1508
Front wheel track	1410	1410	1414
Rear wheel track	1380	1380	1380

Volume with seats folded	–	705	777
Fuel tank volume	43	43	43
Ground clearance, mm	165	165	170

As for the Lada Priora tire size , the manufacturer recommends installing 14-inch wheels. The tire size can be 175/65 R14 or 185/60 R14 or 185/65 R14. The most interesting thing is that today, even on Lada Granta or Kalina in well-packaged trim levels, AvtoVAZ offers 15-inch wheels as standard. Why this is not the case on Priora is not clear, although this does not stop the owners of these cars, who put much larger wheels on their Lada Priora.

New Priora, or Priora 2

From this article, you will learn about the main changes and restyling of the Lada Priora car (2014), “Norma+” configuration. Visually, the car has not changed much, that is, those people who are not particularly versed in domestic cars will not notice the difference.
The most pronounced change in the appearance of the Priora is the front and rear bumpers. Their appearance has acquired a sporty character, and looks very good, which the domestic auto industry rarely boasts of.

What can you say about the engine? Here we were not pleased with anything, the same 16-valve engine with a capacity of 98 “horses”, which, in principle, has proven itself well.

But the manufacturer promises that the luxury package will have a new engine, with more power, improved dynamics, variable length of the intake manifold and other features.

Let's pay attention to the interior; we can immediately say that the main changes took place here. The upholstery is made in black tones from the same material, the same can be said about plastic

This configuration has a touch screen, like on Kalina, we will not pay special attention to it. The instrument panel has also not changed very much: on the left is the tachometer, below it is the temperature sensor indicator, and on the right is the speedometer. Between them is an on-board computer, such as on the 2nd Kalina. Everything is clear, simple and ergonomic.

Also included in the package is air conditioning, electric mirrors (heated), fog lights, and two power windows. The steering wheel has been modified, it looks almost the same as that of the Granta, and the panel has a conveniently located “hands-free” button that works via Bluetooth. One of the significant advantages is the heated windshield - an excellent option for the Russian climate. The gearbox is unchanged. In general, the restyling did not cause negative emotions, although car enthusiasts expected more.

Characteristic symptoms of car frame deformation

For car owners who consider regular measurements of distances between CT scans to be an unacceptable waste of time and money, there is a certain list of signs. Comparing them will make it clear how much the body needs “treatment”. The sooner the signs are identified, the less money the owner will have to shell out for complex repairs.

So, the most important sign of deformation is considered to be poorly locking/unlocking doors of the same Priora or Peugeot 605. Unless this is the reason for the doors sagging, then the deformation of the car frame in the areas of pillars and other elements is indisputable.

Another, no less common and more dangerous sign is the loss of normal vehicle control at speeds above 50 km/h. In these cases, the car is pulled to the sides, thrown, the body vibrates, and continuing to move in this case is extremely dangerous for life.

Remember that regularly taking measurements between CT scans is the responsibility of the motorist, who considers caring for the car and its body an important matter. More specific information on taking measurements and restoring body geometry is provided in other publications on the site.

Tuning

Lada Priora restyling 2013, hatchback 5 doors, 1st generation (10.2013 - 12.2015) - technical characteristics and equipment
Like all VAZ models, LADA Priora Universal (VAZ 2171) is easy to tune, with which it can be transformed into a completely different, dissimilar for a serial car. In this case, changes can be made to almost all nodes.

The easiest way to implement changes is in the station wagon's interior. It is enough to change the original upholstery material to a more textured and brighter color, and also decorate the dashboard and door panels with original metal or wooden (imitation of precious wood) inserts. The Priora will also be given more solidity by replacing the standard front seats with Recaro seats. The salon will immediately acquire individuality.

Station wagon styling

You can completely change the exterior of the VAZ 2171 Priora station wagon by:

glass tinting;
installation of new thresholds and aerodynamic body kits;
use of forged wheels and low-profile tires;
tuning of front optics and radiator grille.

Additionally, you can decorate the body with vinyl film and install a decorative trim on the heater air intake. All this will allow you to change the usual image of a station wagon beyond recognition.

Technical tuning

If necessary, you can improve the technical characteristics of the VAZ 2171 station wagon by subjecting it to technical tuning.

The main procedure that needs to be carried out is to increase the cylinder capacity of the station wagon engine to 1.8 liters. Besides:

carry out modifications to the cylinder block;
install lightweight flywheels and gas distribution valves;
change the throttle valve and other parts.

Attention! Having increased the power, it is necessary to bring the controllability and stability of the VAZ 2171 Priora station wagon in accordance with it. We offer a review of the most practical car from the entire Lada Priora family

This is, of course, the new Lada Priora station wagon (VAZ 2171)

We offer an overview of the most practical car from the entire Lada Priora family. This is, of course, the new Lada Priora station wagon (VAZ 2171)

. In our article you will find photos, characteristics, prices and other information about this car.

The first Priors station wagon

appeared on sale back in 2009, two years after the start of sales of sedans. Lada Priora station wagon is the most spacious and roomy car of the entire Priora family. However, the length of the station wagon is 1 centimeter shorter than the sedan, but longer than the hatchback. At the same time, the wheelbase of all three body options is the same.

The luggage compartment volume of the Priora station wagon is 444 liters

, however, if you fold the rear seats, the volume of loading space increases to 777 liters. The most interesting thing is that the seats still do not fold into a perfectly flat floor.

As for the latest restyling, which took place in 2013, the car has remained virtually unchanged in appearance. Apart from the new radiator grille, bumpers, turn signals built into the exterior mirrors and optics with daytime running lights, by the way, the rear lights now have LEDs.

However, the technical part and interior have undergone more serious changes. Thus, a more powerful power unit of 106 hp appeared on the new generation Lada Priora station wagon. This engine is not a new development, but a modernized 98 hp engine. As for the transmission of the front-wheel drive station wagon, Avtovaz designers modified the manual gearbox, and a new cable clutch appeared. There is no automatic transmission option yet, but as the manufacturer promises, Lada Priora with automatic transmission will hit the production line at the end of summer 2014

. In addition, the sound insulation of the Lada Priora station wagon has been slightly improved.

But the first thing that clearly catches your eye on the new Priora is the interior. There are new seats with a fabric that is more practical and pleasant to the touch. By the way, in rich trim levels, the front seats have built-in side airbags and heating with three power levels. The steering wheel is now three-spoke. The center console has a color monitor, which is not only an element of the stereo system, but can also act as a navigator screen.

Features of the bodies of “Ladovo” models

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more". Since we started with QOL, let’s continue this topic

For the frame of Ladovsky models without glued glass, the quality of life is 14 thousand N*m/degree, which is a very good mark. And with glass this figure is even higher

Since we started with QOL, let’s continue this topic. For the frame of Ladovsky models without glued glass, the quality of life is 14 thousand N*m/degree, which is a very good mark. And with glass this figure is even higher.

The testing of the Lada body in the rear turned out to be especially good. Thus, in the rear door opening, after a tough diagonal pressure test, the changes were recorded as only 1.5 mm, whereas on most foreign cars the same figure was 5-6 mm.

The body design of the Lada Largus and other similar models fundamentally complies with current European standards in terms of protecting passengers and the driver. The front subframe on Ladovsky models is one of the most important body elements responsible for this indicator. It is even considered an auxiliary spar, significantly increasing the strength of the body, as well as absorbing impact force.

The high quality of life of the Ladovsky body also has a beneficial effect on obtaining high-quality sound comfort in a car showroom. The frame does not twist over bumps and bumps, no deformations or anomalies occur between the interior and body elements, which ultimately has a positive effect on the absence of squeaks.

A lot of original parts, interchangeability of interior elements between Ladovsky models, enlargement of some parts of the body - all this was only a plus. In particular, the increase in some body elements led to a decrease in their number, which reduced production time and had a positive effect on performance.

Lada Largus

Called a budget station wagon with increased cross-country ability. The body was assembled based on Dasia/Renault Logan. The car was initially adapted for the market of Eastern European countries.

Even in the basic version of Logan, engineers took effective measures to enhance anti-corrosion protection, using protective inserts for the wheel arches. In addition, anti-corrosion and anti-gravity protection is installed over larger areas than before (at Samarov’s vehicles), with a thicker layer of mastic.

Here are some more innovations:

The engine compartment is well protected. Additional protection was used correctly;
The front suspension reinforcement has been increased. This was achieved through the use of leverage;
The washer reservoir has become larger and holds more fluid;
The wheels received protective aprons;
The change got a torpedo;
The bumper and radiator grille have been modernized.

Description

As soon as it went on sale, many wanted to understand - is it a new car or just a rebuilt car? Of course, you can rack your brain for a long time, but we are interested in other characteristics of this model. In simple terms, the Lada Priora sedan is now the car that is pulled by the entire great and mighty AVTOVAZ. This is the sales leader in the Russian car market. Today, none of the budget foreign cars can come close to the sales figures of the Lada Priora sedan in Russia.

The main advantages are a completely modern and sporty appearance, good high-torque 1.6-liter engines (8- and 16-valve) and, of course, a relatively low cost compared to foreign cars of a similar class. If it were not for the terrible build quality, this car could easily become a leader in its class, including among budget, inexpensive foreign cars. But compared to its predecessor on the assembly line - the ten, the Lada Priora sedan is a global step in the development of the domestic automobile industry.

Lada Priora sedan (aka VAZ 2170) is the optimal price/quality ratio. This is ease of operation and maintenance, reliability and practical safety. In the Samara region - Lada Priora sedan

rightfully heads the top of the most popular cars. And so it will be until a car appears on the car market with a set of the same characteristics, but better in quality. Build quality remains the main disadvantage of this car and all cars assembled in Togliatti.

Trunk volume of Lada Priora hatchback: size and characteristics

VAZ 2110 body diagram: dimensions and how much the body weighs, features of care and repair

Lada Priora is considered one of the most expensive domestic cars, and it is also the most purchased car, since, according to car enthusiasts, it has stood the test of time. It is less expensive and its maintenance will be budget-friendly. Favorable price, attractive appearance and high power attract buyers.

When the driver has already decided on the brand of the car, you need to decide what equipment you want. Lada Priora is a car for young people. Of course, you want to choose a car worthy of your garage. This car has four configurations, but the most popular are the sedan and hatchback. There are also such types of equipment as station wagon and coupe. You must take the choice of car seriously, study all the characteristics well and choose the car that suits you. This is the only way you will understand the difference between analogues.

Explore the “insides” of the Lada Priora. For example, a hatchback will have a huge advantage with a high-quality immobilizer and trip computer, electric power steering, etc.

Sedan

What does a driver need to understand? A sedan is a configuration in which the trunk in the cabin is linearly separated by a partition. The most popular body type among cars. It differs in its dimensions (in millimeters):

it is longer - 4350;
height – 1420;
width – 1680.

It is worth paying attention to the ground clearance (clearance) - 165 mm and the track width of the front and rear wheels - 1410 and 1380 mm, respectively. The trunk can fit about 430 liters of cargo

In terms of the amount of fuel consumed, both the sedan and the hatchback are almost the same.

Hatchback

The domestic manufacturer produces better and better cars each time, as it takes into account the mistakes of previous models.

The hatchback differs in its dimensions from the sedan (in millimeters):

length – 4210;
width – 1680;
height – 1435;
The ground clearance and track width of the rear and front wheels are the same as those of the sedan.

The hatchback is considered the most spacious, according to Autoreview magazine. What is the trunk volume of the most popular Lada Priora hatchback? It is very similar to the sedan, but it has a smaller trunk and a shorter rear overhang. This body type, when compared with the Lada Priora sedan, is smaller, but if you look more closely, it is very roomy. Its dimensions are (mm):

length – 910, and with the sofa folded – 1700;
width – 1500, between wheel arches – 930;
the size from the floor to the trunk shelf is 523, and the loading area is 720.

Unfortunately, the hatchback has a capacity of only 360 liters of various cargo, but the driver can fold down the rear seats, which significantly increases the volume of the car up to 705 liters! And this is a lot.

Station wagon

Today, three types of bodies are produced: sedan, hatchback and station wagon. Since you already know everything about the first two, we’ll tell you about the station wagon. This is a very practical car, the luggage compartment is spacious enough to carry large loads, and you can easily convert the rear seat into a bed.

If you look at this type of body from a technical point of view, its volume is 444 liters, and with the sofa folded - about 800 liters (up to the level of the windows).

Characteristics of the trunk volume of the station wagon (mm):

width – 1500, between wheel arches – 930;
length – 985 and 1640 with the sofa folded;
the distance from the floor to the trunk shelf is 560, and to the lid – 845;
trunk door opening size – 820.

The station wagon car itself has very serious dimensions (mm):

in length is 4340;
width – 1680;
in height – 1508;
ground clearance - 170.

Now the Lada is considered the most expensive among the Priors, but the price of the car is equivalent to its quality. You won't be able to find a cheaper station wagon among foreign cars.

How to check the geometry of a car body

The opinion that the absence of deviations in the car's wheel alignment indicators can serve as confirmation of the correct body geometry is erroneous. Body diagnostics is a separate procedure that requires special stands and stocks.

Using such devices, using control points, you can check the conformity of the dimensions and diagonals of the engine compartment, trunk, doorways, as well as the distance between side members, reinforcements, load-bearing body parts, etc.

There are three options for checking body geometry:

Carrying out measurements of distances between control points. This type of diagnostic allows you to quickly check the correctness of the geometry both before starting repair work and during its implementation. Such measurements are carried out using a regular tape measure or a special ruler.
During comparative measurements, the correspondence of the distances between symmetrical points located on opposite sides of the body is analyzed. This type of test is distinguished by its versatility and ease of diagnosis of body damage. As a rule, experts compare the length of the diagonals between symmetrical points of the body. In this case, you can compare the measurement data on the damaged and intact sides of the car.
In three-dimensional measurement, the spatial location of control points is determined in relation to the base planes of the body. For such diagnostics it is necessary to have special equipment.

During the measurements, a specialist can determine the extent of the main damage, determine the presence of minor defects and outline a plan for restoration work.

To measure the geometry of the body, measuring rulers are used or stationary equipment is used, a slipway, which allows you to check the distances between control points using special marks or electronic beacons.

To do this, the car is fixed on a platform using chains and measuring sensors are hung on certain points of the body. Quite often, craftsmen are faced with a situation where control points are hidden under the skin of body panels, under bumpers, under protective elements, so they have to partially disassemble the body to provide access to hidden places.

In order to restore the original parameters of the body geometry, straightening work is carried out in a car service center. This is a rather complex and multi-stage job that must be performed by qualified craftsmen who have the appropriate education, experience and a good feel for metal.

Garage specialists can tell you that they can easily restore your car after an accident using a special certified line. But such assurances should not be trusted. Without equipment such as a slipway, the geometry of the body after a serious accident cannot be fully restored. Cars repaired in artisanal conditions, as a rule, have deviations in body geometry.

We have already noted earlier that body diagnostics using control points should be carried out at least once a year or every 30 thousand km. mileage

If the car service is not equipped with special stands, then a body repair technician can use a ruler to measure the geometry of the body, but this is not a very reliable method, which can give an error of about 5 millimeters in one direction or another.

On the slipway you can measure the dimensions of such body elements as:

luggage compartment opening;
engine compartment;
front and rear side members;
window openings;
doorways;
sections of the front, middle, rear of the car.

To straighten the car frame, auto repair shops use hydraulic equipment and vacuum suction cups.

Complete restoration of body geometry (correction after serious accidents) can be carried out by stretching, but only if the metal has retained its characteristics.

Diode pointers are used for computer body diagnostics. This device allows you to perform all the necessary measurements without disassembling. For diagnostics, the machine is installed on a stand. The computer program will take all the necessary measurements and apply them to a virtual template of a specific car model. Such a check takes about 10 minutes, and the owner of the car receives a printout of the body with marked problem areas. The permissible error of such diagnostics is within 5 mm.

Choice

Selecting the body shape only makes sense when buying a new car in the showroom

In the secondary market, when choosing a used car, it is first of all better to pay attention to the price and technical condition. If the car suits you according to these characteristics, then it makes sense to take it

When choosing a body, pay attention first of all to your needs. The car you buy should be as comfortable as possible

Therefore, think carefully about where and how you plan to use it.

A sedan is suitable for commuting to work. This is a fairly comfortable car. In addition, he looks respectable, which appeals to mature, accomplished men. Suitable for frequent trips on the highway lightly. If you need to combine trips to work with visits to shopping centers, it is best to purchase a Priora in a hatchback body. For family people with a dacha or large families, a station wagon is ideal. You can load the belongings of the largest family into it. The large trunk is a huge advantage in this regard.

Conclusion . When choosing a car body type, consider all its features

It is important to understand why you need a car. This understanding will allow you to correctly decide which is better, Priora sedan or hatchback

Don't grab the first car you come across. Look at all the offers on the market, this fully applies to car dealerships.

Pride of AvtoVAZ

Lada Priora is a fairly high-quality domestic car that has a pleasant appearance and a relatively low price. But when choosing a car, car owners are wondering which body to prefer: a hatchback or a sedan? To answer this, it is worth considering the features of each configuration.

It is important to make the right choice, because you want the car to please you for many years.

By choosing any Priora car, you will be satisfied with the quality and comfort. The model that best suits your requirements will provide you with maximum convenience.

And here it is important to understand which type of body is best suited to achieve your goals.

Each of the presented body types has certain characteristics that distinguish it from the rest

When choosing, it is very important to consider not only ride comfort

It is necessary to pay attention to the capacity and maneuverability of the vehicle

How body geometry is corrected

Repairing the body of a VAZ 2115 is a rather complex process that should be performed exclusively by professionals and in specialized centers:

And before starting repair operations, the technical center personnel will have to inspect the car. It is carried out in order to identify all defects and draw up a further action plan. Technology can also take part in the diagnosis;
Next, tin work will be carried out. Their goal is to dismantle all body elements that will not be involved in repairs;
Next comes the time of tin work. At this stage, the body parts will undergo straightening, after which various major defects will be removed;
The next step is to level the surface of the car body. This operation is carried out using putty. After its layer hardens, it will be polished;
Then the vehicle will be prepared for painting;
Then the painting itself will be done;
After the paint has dried, an additional layer of varnish will be applied on top, which will be polished after it has hardened.

The VAZ-2115 body has replaced the 21099 body, quite popular among Russian consumers, but seriously outdated. The general features of the predecessor can be easily seen in the newer model.

Configurations of Lada Priora VAZ 2170 and other modifications

VAZ 2170 is known in the following configurations:

“Standard” is the most budget package. It lacks: audio radio, speakers, air conditioning, rear headrests, immobilizer, central locking, heated front seats, electric drive and heated exterior mirrors, fog lights, remote trunk release. The front windows are electric, the rear windows are mechanical. The engine is 81 hp, which has been discontinued since 2013, and at the moment there are no longer orders for this configuration;
“Norma”, which is equipped with an 87-, and after restyling - only a 98- and 106-power engine. Available: audio preparation, on-board computer, electric heating and electric drive of exterior mirrors, immobilizer, anti-theft alarm and all the elements of the “standard” equipment plus some new equipment. This configuration is in greatest demand due to its price niche. When you need a car “yesterday”, you have to buy what you have enough money for now, and everyone else has to retrofit the car in the process.
"Norma". Essentially, this is the same standard for which one or more items of equipment are set: air conditioning, audio radio with speakers, ABS BAS, child seat mounts, heated front seats and windshield;
“Lux” is the most rich in functionality. It has everything that the “norm” has, and in addition: side airbags, an airbag for the front passenger, rear and front electric windows, a navigator, a multimedia system, cruise control, parking sensors, fog lights, a rain sensor, a climate system, alloy wheels, heated front seats;
“Sport” is a special package that increases the “sports” component. This is an aerodynamic body kit: a pronounced bumper with a spoiler, side sills, a diffuser rear bumper, and a wing on the trunk lid. The wheels with narrow profile tires are also different. Ground clearance, curb weight (up to 1080 kg) and maximum weight (up to 1500 kg) have been reduced. The interior has also been transformed: side supports have been added along the edges of the seats with red stitched seams, carbon fiber inserts, and a leather steering wheel. Air conditioning, radio, and a full set of electric windows are included. However, the production of sports Prioras was limited and today they are discontinued, although they can be found here and there on the highway, and most often these are Priora coupes.

Of course, this is not a complete, but only an indicative overview of the configurations of the Lada Priora, which is hardly possible to present in its entirety within the confines of one article. In addition, the equipment also differs somewhat depending on the body type. For example:

Prior station wagons have roof rails, brackets on the wheel arches of the trunk, for which cargo can be strapped;
For the coupe body, folding backrests and a reinforced frame of the front seats have been developed.

Important Details

By the way, there are quite important points that for some reason not everyone pays close attention to. For example, ground clearance. Ground clearance is the distance between the lowest point of the machine and the surface on which the machine stands. Passenger cars have a standard value of 12-16 cm. In addition, another important factor is the existing length of the wheelbase. Because the car is longer, the cross-country ability worsens, and the same ground clearance suffers. Hatchbacks have a standard wheelbase length, which is slightly shorter than a sedan's, and therefore cars with the body type in question have better cross-country ability, if we take the same models (Chevrolet hatchback and sedan) as an example. The car looks simply excellent in any body, and we have already examined the nuances of each model.

Vehicle powertrain

Three engine options are available:

8-valve VAZ-2116 engine with a power of 90 horsepower;
16-valve VAZ-21126 engine with a power of 98 horsepower. The station wagon modification with engine 21126 (factory designation VAZ 217130) is the most affordable on the secondary market;
The 16-valve VAZ-21127 engine, which produces 106 horsepower, wins in terms of efficiency and reliability.

The base engine of the Lada Priora 2171 model is a gasoline, four-stroke, four-cylinder (cylinders are arranged in a row) 16-valve VAZ-21127 engine with distributed injection. This engine appeared after the VAZ-21126 engine was modified to improve the intake system. On the VAZ 21127, instead of one mass air flow sensor, two are installed: absolute pressure and air temperature. This made it possible to get rid of the known problem of the previous model - fluctuations in the crankshaft speed at low speeds.

The volume of this engine is 1596 cubic cm, the diameter of each of the four cylinders is 82 mm, the piston stroke is 75.6 mm, the compression ratio is 11. The octane number of gasoline used is 95. This engine develops power up to 106 horsepower at crankshaft rotation speed 5800 rpm, and its maximum torque is 148 Nm at 4200 rpm. It is obvious that the characteristics of the VAZ Priora with the 21127 engine are 8 horsepower and 3 Nm higher than those of a car of the same brand with the 21126 engine.

The maximum speed of the Priora station wagon with engine 21127 is 183 km/h, acceleration to hundreds is possible in 11.5 seconds with a total weight of 1578 kg. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle is 6.8 liters per 100 km, and on the highway fuel consumption is 5.4 liters per 100 km. The fuel tank holds 43 liters of fuel. The manufacturer claims an engine life of 200 thousand km.

From this article you will learn the dimensions of the Lada body and its features. Our domestic designers have finally managed to carry out high-quality body engineering that meets international standards. Finally, the torsional rigidity (TR) of the bodies of Lada Largus, Kalina, etc. and other features, to the envy of previous VAZ models, have become much higher. This means that now domestic models can easily compete with foreign cars in terms of body endurance.

Technical modification data

It would be wrong to mention that the Priora hatchback is a good budget city car without backing these words up with facts. The car belongs to class B, it is front-wheel drive, the environmental class is Euro 4. The five-door hatchback has a curb weight of 1088 kg, and a maximum weight of 1578 kg.

The suspension in the hatchback was not strengthened compared to the sedan. The front is independent spring, the rear is semi-independent spring. The front brakes are ventilated discs and the rear brakes are drums. The pre-restyling version works only with a manual transmission, the restyled version – with a robotic automatic transmission. The main differences between restyling and pre-restyling are modified headlight optics and a slightly redesigned interior (steering wheel, dashboard, center console, multimedia).

What is a hatchback

Good afternoon, dear readers. As many of you have probably already guessed, today I want to talk about the types of car bodies.

I remember times when hearing the word hatchback caused me bewilderment. I think that among the readers there will be people with a similar problem. In this article I will try to solve this problem.

In order not to mislead you, let me clarify that the picture on the left does not show a hatchback, but a dump truck. Yes, you probably guessed it yourself.

Now let’s take a closer look at the bodies of passenger cars. The most common and popular body styles include: sedan, hatchback and station wagon. There are other types of bodies, such as coupe, convertible, limousine, and carriage. They are less popular today.

Sedan

This type of body is distinguished by a classic trunk. And the body itself is classic. Just 15-20 years ago, most cars were produced with a sedan body type.

The sedan has a relatively small trunk capacity (compared to the hatchback and station wagon) and usually has 4 doors.

Hatchback

This body type is more modern than classic. In my opinion, now hatchback cars are gradually replacing classic sedans. And there is a reason for this. While the hatchback is generally shorter in length (the hatchback has a shorter rear overhang) than the sedan, the former has significantly more capacity.

The hatchback in different versions can have 3 or 5 doors. A 3-door hatchback is not a gift for a large family. In a car like this, sitting in the back seat is not fun.

Station wagon

Cars with this body type have increased capacity. Just like the hatchback station wagon, it has 5 doors. But the length of the station wagon is much longer. Typically, the rear door of a station wagon is located almost perpendicular to the ground. The rear seats of the station wagon can be folded and this allows you to significantly increase the luggage compartment (you can carry a small bull).

The station wagon, thanks to its capacity, is ideally suited for a large family. But the dimensions of such a car can cause inconvenience when driving in city traffic.

I wanted to finish the article, but I remembered another very common body type. Of course it's a jeep.

Body dimensions and weight of the Lada Priora car - hatchback, station wagon, sedan, coupe, long

The ideal car is different for everyone - it all depends on why they are buying it. Priora is perfect for both the younger generation and the older. The weight that it can lift varies - for example, the station wagon received a voluminous trunk that can accommodate more things. The width of the Priora remains unchanged - exactly 164 cm. The weight of the car ranges from 1578 to 1598 kg.

Hatchback

When it comes to overall dimensions, the Lada Priora cannot but rejoice - you can drive with it even in the narrowest yard. The curb weight of the hatchback is 1163 kg, the maximum permissible is 1578 kg. The trunk volume is 360 liters, and with the seats folded down – 705 liters. Height is 143.5 cm, length – 421 cm.

Sedan

The dimensions of the sedan are slightly different, but the weight of the car remains the same. The trunk volume is 430 liters. The sedan body dimensions are 142 cm in height, length is 435 cm.

Station wagon

The improved technical characteristics of the Lada Priora station wagon allow you to seriously load the trunk - they took care of the reinforced suspension in advance. Unlike the hatchback, the station wagon has a length of 13 cm longer - 434 cm. The height is 150.8 cm. The trunk volume is 444 liters and 777 liters with the seats folded down. The total weight can be equal to 1598 kg.

Coupe

The three-door hatchback Lada Priora was produced in a sports version and featured improved characteristics - after restyling, there were 123 horses under its hood. The body elements had to be redone, which did not affect the dimensions so much. Length is 424.3 cm, height 143.5 cm.

Long body

The extended Priora is the Premier version, premium. Its base was lengthened by 17.5 cm, the rear door was made larger, and an additional section was added to the glass. Under the hood there is a noticeable advantage - more “horses” are needed to pull a heavier car. The salon is decorated elegantly and stylishly. The width remains the same - 168 cm, the length is 452.5 cm, and the height is 142 cm. The curb weight is 1100 kg, and the trunk volume remains the same - 430 liters.

Overall dimensions of Priora | PrioraPRO

Lada Priora cars are designed specifically for dynamic and fast-paced city roads. Their appearance is distinguished by its composure, versatility and agility. The overall dimensions of the Priora emphasize its individuality - each model, be it a hatchback, sedan or station wagon, has its own dimensions:

- a hatchback by nature, the car is more youthful, and therefore lighter and sportier - its dimensions: length 4210 mm, width 1680 mm, height 1435 mm;

— the heavier sedan has dimensions: length 4400 mm, width 1680 mm, height 1420 mm;

— a squat and solid station wagon meets the following parameters: length 4340 mm, width 1680 mm, height 1508 mm;

— the handsome Coupe, fast and dynamic, has dimensions: length 4243 mm, width 1680 mm, height 1435 mm.

The overall dimensions of the Lada Priora are gently combined with the style of its body. This is emphasized by geometric lines, an elegantly designed radiator grille, and elegant headlights, both rear and front. The open front and rear wheel arches, which are pulled up to the wheel arch by the rear bumper, add uniqueness.

This combination makes the car raised and attracts attention.

In addition, the overall dimensions of the Priora can confidently be compared with excellent aerodynamics. When driving at high speeds, the car provides a balance of lifting and downforce on the front and rear axles, and the air resistance coefficient in the sedan body is 0.34, which corresponds to the level of the world's best analogues.

During crash tests, the Lada Priora, whose overall dimensions are quite small in comparison with cars in its price segment, showed itself in the best possible way: it meets the latest European requirements for side and frontal impacts. Absolute safety is ensured with seat belts for each passenger, an airbag for the driver, and in the “luxury” configuration also for the front passenger.

Also in the Priora, the side pillars and floor sills were improved, and steel door safety bars were installed. Special damping inserts are built into the door trim, which provide increased safety in the event of a side impact.

In the event of a possible collision at low speeds, the safety of the front passenger is increased thanks to the soft pad on the instrument panel.

Trunk volume and body dimensions of Lada Largus

This brand is available in 3 versions:

passenger;
increased capacity;
cargo van.

The average trunk size of this car is 135 liters; if you fold the third row of seats, it increases to 560 liters. Exactly the same body volume of a 5-seater station wagon. A maximum capacity of up to 2350 liters is possible if all seats are folded down. With the third row seats folded, the trunk length is 90 cm, and with the second and third row seats folded, it is 174 cm.

As we can see, the cargo van is much more spacious than other Largus options; it is perfect for large shipments. The passenger version and the increased capacity also accommodate cargo, but in small quantities. The first type is generally intended for maximum hand luggage, and the second - for small items.

New Priora, or Priora 2

The most pronounced change in the appearance of the Priora is the front and rear bumpers. Their appearance has acquired a sporty character, and looks very good, which the domestic auto industry rarely boasts of.

What can you say about the engine? Here we were not pleased with anything, the same 16-valve engine with a capacity of 98 “horses”, which, in principle, has proven itself well.

But the manufacturer promises that the luxury package will have a new engine, with more power, improved dynamics, variable length of the intake manifold and other features.

Let's pay attention to the interior; we can immediately say that the main changes took place here. The upholstery is made in black tones from the same material, the same can be said about plastic

Station wagon

If you look at this type of body from a technical point of view, its volume is 444 liters, and with the sofa folded - about 800 liters (up to the level of the windows).

Characteristics of the trunk volume of the station wagon (mm):

width – 1500, between wheel arches – 930;
length – 985 and 1640 with the sofa folded;
the distance from the floor to the trunk shelf is 560, and to the lid – 845;
trunk door opening size – 820.

The station wagon car itself has very serious dimensions (mm):

in length is 4340;
width – 1680;
in height – 1508;
ground clearance - 170.

Now the Lada is considered the most expensive among the Priors, but the price of the car is equivalent to its quality. You won't be able to find a cheaper station wagon among foreign cars.

Body differences

The sedan is a classic four-day car with a sloping roof that gradually slopes down towards the cargo area. A hatchback is a smaller car whose rear door opens upward to provide easy access to the trunk. Most of these vehicles are equipped with five seats and have four or two passenger doors.

The cargo compartment, connected to the overall space of the vehicle's interior, allows the owner to lower the rear seat and maximize space for stowing and transporting cargo. As a rule, this type of body is 15-20 cm shorter than a sedan, which some people consider a disadvantage, while others consider it an advantage. Now let's try to look at the pros and cons of each body.

Specifications

Below we will talk about each element of the Lada Priora separately, namely, we will consider separately the body, engine, trunk, etc.

Body

Priora was produced in several bodies. In 2007, only a sedan appeared; later, in 2008, the first hatchback and station wagon rolled off the assembly line.

Sedan 2170

This body turned out to be very nice and most popular among young people. Young people started buying Priora and subjecting it to various tunings. It became a kind of youth movement.

Station wagon 2171

This type of body is an excellent solution for family people. The station wagon is equipped with a huge trunk.

Hatchback 2172

The hatchback does not differ from the sedan in technical characteristics and the front part of the body, but is shorter by several centimeters, which is noticeable to the naked eye.

Engine

Several types of engines with different power and number of valves were installed on the Lada. The table below shows all installed engines and their characteristics.

Gear box

Priora was equipped with several gearboxes depending on the configuration and year of manufacture of the car. All gearboxes are 5-speed

Gearbox with rocker

This gearbox was installed on cars from 2007 to 2013. It is a fairly reliable and unpretentious gearbox, its main “soreness” is the weak second gear, which begins to fly out over time.

Cable gearbox

Installed on cars since 2014. Received a large number of positive reviews, the position of the gears, namely the reverse gear, has changed. The vibrations transmitted to the cabin from the gearbox have been reduced.

Robotic gearbox

In 2014, luxury car models began to be equipped with a robotic gearbox. It is very reliable and unpretentious, but noticeably loses in dynamics compared to a manual transmission.

Lada modifications of the sedan of the Priora car are the pioneer of the brand, code 2170. Russian budget city car, produced by AvtoVAZ from 2007 to 2022. Over the years, the car has been mass-produced in four bodies: sedan, hatchback, station wagon and coupe. Each of these versions found its buyer among certain groups of car enthusiasts, and the Lada Priora sedan even in popular culture. Remember the song: Lada Sedan eggplant!

The car has a balanced weight of 1088 to 1185 kg and engine power, making it dynamic. At the same time, fuel consumption does not exceed 9-10 liters. Which is appropriate for the city! The price of the entire car also hit the bull's eye. Over time, people preferred to buy a new car instead of a foreign car that was 20 years old.

The Priora sedan became the first car option for young drivers. All impressions boil down to the fact that for its class the car is comfortable, ergonomic and, moreover, smoothly goes over bumps and is inexpensive for spare parts.

Types of luggage racks

Since three bodies of the Lada Kalina have standard holes for attaching luggage accessories, this means that we can safely distinguish two designs:

Railings with add-on crossbars and accessories;
Cross members to factory installation locations.

Well, of course, there are also drivers who only have a universal trunk with a door arch mount. But they haven’t heard about the other models. This is a phenomenon of the owner of Lada Kalina. This means that a universal trunk for them exists and is called third on the list. But they need to keep in mind that the collapsible version of the universal luggage rack is equipped with a trapezoidal platform equidistant from the center of the support. Over-tightening the support bracket will result in strong pressure from the platform on the body. Since the Lada Kalina has a weak corner profile, a dent is possible. Trying to understand the issue is a bit like intimidation. But that's not true.

To date, AvtoVAZ has produced three different bodies:

Sedan.
Hatchback.
Station wagon.

The station wagon has an elongated flat roof, while the sedan and hatchback have a different length and radius. If we correlate the information with the roof rails, then the body type assumes a specific model of the arch. It won’t fit from a station wagon to a sedan, just like from a hatchback to a station wagon. The issue of crossbars is more acute. After all, there are three ways at once:

A simple stand in standard places. This is a tire made of one three-millimeter steel sheet with two holes for bolts, bent to fit the corner of the roof. At the end there is supposed to be a square hole for a square cross member, and it is known to have poor aerodynamics and whistle at speed.
Universal non-removable mount. Most have a short catch angle and a thrust pad standing almost next to the center of pressure. Everything would be fine, but then why would there be “original” mounting holes?
The third option is when the car is equipped with roof rails.
All that remains is to find the cross members with transitional fasteners for the roof rails. Station wagon Lada Kalina with roof rails

It’s worth resorting to statistics:

On average, a sedan is equipped with cross members on standard or universal racks. Car enthusiasts are not afraid of noise at speed and dented roofs.
The hatchback design has better roof rails. If a factory option is not declared, then car enthusiasts search and find a model. Then cross members with adapters are made. By the way, aerodynamic wing-shaped cross members will reduce air resistance from the double structure (rails plus cross members).
That's why the station wagon is named that way. It is equipped with rails, standard and universal accessories.

Cross members on the roof of a Lada Kalina station wagon.
The owners, in their desire to help the AvtoVAZ concern, are groping for the right path, and the manufacturer reciprocates. We are talking about an optimal trunk with pre-installation of roof rails in their standard places. It is not for nothing that a set of longitudinal bars, if necessary, is ordered immediately from the factory. Some lucky motorists guess, buy roof rails, and then equip them with crossbars and accessories. They look more beautiful. But there are common excuses for those who do not agree with this state of affairs:

The car is getting taller.
The noise is louder.
Aerodynamics suffer.
The roof with roof rails is difficult to clean.
The paintwork is destroyed.
Expensive.
Roof rack with crossbars and mounts for transporting skis on the roof of Lada Kalina

Therefore, reasonable arguments are given:

One and a half meters plus 15 centimeters is 165 cm. The average height of a person is 175-180 cm. This is not high.
Wing-shaped cross members reduce noise.
Any equipment for railings can be quickly removed. Cross members too. Aerodynamics will return to their original values. And the roof rails themselves are already being developed to be aerodynamic.
The roof with roof rails can be washed easily both in a car wash and by hand.
The armored film will protect the paintwork.
Rails allow you to change luggage racks depending on the purpose. Adjusting the distance between the crossbars allows the driver to correctly position the load.
