Characteristics of the current configurations of Lada 2170

Life hack: VIN code on Priora, where it is located and how it is deciphered

Each car is marked with a special unique number, which is applied to the parts during their production. After the car is registered, the traffic police officer can fully check it by number and VIN code - if everything matches in the documents and the real “picture”, there will be no problems.

Such strict accounting was adopted in order to exclude illegal fraud - duplicate license plates, installation of an engine from a stolen car, etc. Therefore, the VIN code of a Lada Priora car is an element that should never be removed - rubbed, glued, or try to remove it in another way.

Over time, when car production volumes increased significantly, it was necessary to create a unified accounting system so that it would be impossible to falsify documents or assemble a car from parts of stolen cars. Traffic police and traffic police officers in other countries were able to track all vehicles, monitor the payment of fines and registration actions, which greatly simplified their work.

Lada Priora luxury station wagon 2012

The car engine
Transport of the Volga Automobile Plant has long been firmly established in the lives of a large number of car enthusiasts in our country. At the same time, their equipment can be completely different. Thanks to their high quality and relatively low cost, even luxury Lada Priora cars can be purchased by people with average incomes.

For those wishing to acquire this car, there are several options that can satisfy absolutely any requirements of each potential client. This is especially true for factors such as price category. The 2012 edition is represented by three Lada Priora models, the luxury equipment of which does not differ very significantly from each other.

To a greater extent, these differences relate to such aspects of cars as their cost. The lowest price threshold is marked at a cost of 431 thousand rubles, and the highest – about 449 thousand rubles. The average cost of a Lada Priora luxury station wagon produced in 2012 is 435 thousand rubles.

Full decoding of the Vin code (vin code) Priora

The individual designation for each machine, according to its design, should have contained several parameters. The option of combining the databases of all manufacturers so that the designation is sequential for absolutely all cars is difficult to implement and does not contain useful information. Therefore, the Priora VIN code was created the way they are used to seeing it now.

The numbers depicted on a special plate will tell you about the car. These numbers must be analyzed one by one. But the identification number (VIN code) begins with XTA. This is the letter designation of the manufacturer, that is, the AvtoVAZ plant.

The following numbers are deciphered as follows:

Finally, the last seven digits are the body numbers, they are unique for each car model.

The plate also contains other useful information:

Choosing a Lada Priora luxury car for personal use

Spacious luggage space
So, having decided what kind of car you intend to purchase, you need to move on to the process of deciding what model and configuration you would like to use. Your final decision depends on how demanding you are regarding cars, as well as on how much money you are willing to invest in purchasing a car.

Another decision will depend on this, which also requires your participation. The question is where and in what condition will you buy the selected Lada - in a dealership, completely new or second-hand.

The difference between them is undoubtedly great, but in some cases the choice is quite simple to make. This happens when one factor does not allow all others to be taken into account. This factor is the material well-being of your family, or your personal budget. If you only have the money to purchase a used Lada, then you shouldn’t particularly pick on the technical characteristics, but there are still some nuances in this process.

Why do you need Vincode?

The Vin is recorded for each car in its main documents - PTS, STS, and is also required to be indicated when drawing up a purchase and sale agreement. All numbers inside must match - this is a sure sign that none of the marked parts have changed, that is, the most important parts were supplied by the manufacturer.

If the numbers do not match, it means that these main parts have changed, which obviously will not play into your hands when selling - there will be strong suspicions that the car has survived a serious accident. Traffic police inspectors may generally become suspicious if they recognize the vin code as unreadable - thus, car registration procedures may become prohibited.

This is how cars are checked before purchase, where the state number will only provide information about the current owner, and not very detailed one at that.

Where is the VIN code on Priora?

The VIN code on a Priora has some “memory” with all the events that have happened to the car since production. Every owner or potential buyer should know where the special unique sign that marks the car is located. There are quite a lot of such places, and not only the identification number is indicated. This simple way of recording information helps account for millions of vehicles.

Body number

You can see the body number under the hood on the left - it will be written inside a special plate.

Motor model and number

You can find the necessary numbers on the same plate (all the important information is collected there), and these numbers are also shown above the cylinder head. The block is located just above the clutch housing, and to see the code itself, you need to remove the air filter and take a mirror for convenience.

Identification plate on the rack glass

Hidden under the trim of the A-pillar on the driver's seat side is another sign in the form of a sticker, which duplicates all the necessary information.

Double wincode on the right side of the counter

But on the right, opposite the passenger seat, under the trim of the front pillar, you can find a duplicate Vin code.

Double in the niche for the spare wheel

It rarely comes to the spare tire, so this place can be considered away from prying eyes and exposure to moisture. There you can find a duplicate of the identification plate. First you need to take out the spare tire, and then pay attention to the metal strip next to the bracket - the required numbers are engraved on it.

LADA Priora configurations

Lada Priora was manufactured in the Russian Federation from 2007 to early 2022. After which, the model was discontinued due to the obsolescence of the modification.

For such a long stay on the market, Priora has become a worthy competitor to a number of European brands. In general, the workmanship and assembly quality of the model is at a decent level.

Breakdowns do happen, but they are minor and easily fixable. Subject to compliance with the requirements and recommendations of the manufacturer, the operating life of the machine exceeds 80 - 95 thousand km.

Body modifications of Lada Priora

At the time of presentation, the VAZ Priora model was presented in three body styles:

A year and a half after its debut, the Lada Priora Coupe was presented to the public.

Sedan

In body version, the Lada Priora sedan is manufactured in the following trim levels: Standard, Norma, Norma Climate, Comfort, Image. All five trim levels are equipped with a 1.6-liter power unit with a power of 106 hp. The exception is the “Standard” version 87 hp. Fuel consumption is at the level of 5.6 - 5.9 liters. / 100 km.

Hatchback

The version has only two trim levels: Standard and Lux. There are no significant differences between them. Power unit type 1.6 l., 106 hp. Front-wheel drive, acceleration to hundreds in 11.5 seconds, top speed 183 km/h. Fuel consumption is at 5.5 in mixed mode, 6.6 outside the city, 8.5 in the urban cycle.

Station wagon

Lada Priora equipment: Norma, Lux, as in the hatchback version. The power plant is typical 1.6 liters, power 106 hp. Transmission type: automatic, mechanical, front-wheel drive.

Acceleration to hundreds in 11.5 seconds, top speed 183 km/h. Average fuel consumption is 5.5 liters. / 100 km, in the city 8.9 liters, outside the city 6.8 liters.

Lada Priora "luxury"

Not so long ago, Priora was released in a luxury configuration. In addition to the “norm” configuration, these cars received:

• heated front seats;
• passenger airbag;
• anti-lock braking system;
• front fog lights;
• electric rear door windows;
• front seat belt force restrictions;
• doors and seats are upholstered in velvet in a wide range of colors;
• pretensioning mechanisms;
• central interior lighting lamp;
• Illumination of open doors and much more appeared on the front door trims.

Types of configurations for production models of Lada Priora

The presentation of the model began to be prepared already in 2006, and a year later the first version rolled off the assembly line. The VAZ factory index is 2170. The platform for production was the base from the Lada 110.

Unlike the “10”, the doorways have become wider by 7%. Absolutely new form of optics, hood, luggage compartment lid, fenders, sills. Standard wheels "Kama Euro" 185/65 R14.

High-quality polymer materials were used in the finishing. The upper contour is made in light colors, the lower one in dark colors. The two-tone door trims look great.

On the armrests of the front doors there are pre-installed control units for double-glazed windows, adjustment of side mirrors, and a central locking remote control. The ergonomics of mechanical keys are designed to prevent accidental pressing.

Between the front seats there are two storage compartments for storing small items. On the headliner in the front part there is a lamp with lighting and a place to store sunglasses (see photo).

The information content of the dashboard is good, the indicators are arranged in a cluster, providing a generalized picture of the functionality of the technical tool.

In the central part of the tidy there is a place for a monochrome display of the electronic engine control unit (ECU). Of course, the window is small, but it is quite sufficient for visual diagnostics.

To the left of the steering column there is a control module for side lights, high and low beam. Pre-installed electric headlight adjustment and dashboard brightness control.

The mechanical button for activating the trunk lid has been moved to the central channel. The useful space of the luggage compartment is estimated at 430 liters. Unfortunately, you can open the lid using a button from the inside or on the key fob. There is no mechanical button on the lid itself.

In the center of the dashboard there is a connector for installing a DIN, 2DIN radio (with LCD display).

In the engine compartment there is a 1.6-liter power unit, 98 hp, with a torque of 145 Nm. Transmission type: five-speed manual. In order to increase the efficiency of the braking system, a vacuum booster is pre-installed.

Reinforced shock absorber struts and improved front suspension design improve driving comfort.

All production models of Lada Priora comply with Euro 4 standards. This is possible due to the displacement of the standard catalyst closer to the exhaust manifold. As a result, the catalysis process occurs much faster due to an increase in operating temperature.

Norma and Lux

The basic package includes: airbag, immobilizer, power steering, armrest, central locking.

Lada Priora received a completely new ventilation and interior heating system. Thanks to the efficiency of the stove heater, the microclimate is maintained for a long time.

At the same time, the active safety systems in the “Norma” are not given due attention, unlike in the “Lux”.

The “Lux” is pre-installed with air conditioning, full power accessories, two airbags, and seat belt pretensioners. Externally, you can “recognize” the Lux by the presence of PTF fog lights on the lower edge of the front bumper. As well as alloy wheels, a parking sensor on the rear side.

The body is made of galvanized metal and low-alloy steel. The wheel arches are treated with anti-corrosion coating on both sides. The manufacturer provides a 6-year factory warranty for the body and its elements.

In 2013, AvtoVAZ introduced a restyled version of the Lada Priora with a new body. No significant changes were expected, just minor improvements. Daytime running lights (DRL) are pre-installed, front and rear optics are permeated with LEDs. The radiator grille has a mesh structure.

Like its predecessor, the new Lada Priora is available in four body styles: station wagon, coupe, sedan, hatchback. There are significant changes inside the cabin. The dashboard is covered with a soft-look - increased resistance to scratches, plus piano lacquer inserts in places.

The door cards received new upholstery and reinforced security pillars. The steering wheel is adjustable in height and tilt. Paddle shifters are pre-installed.
