In 2014, Lada Priora lost the simplest “Standard” configuration. Now, instead of it, the most accessible one is “Norma”. It was this version that became the most popular among buyers. This is mainly due to the low price and practicality of the car. Let's look at what comes in this package and what are the main differences from the "Lux".
Summary data for Lada Priora (before restyling 2013)
The VAZ 2170 (this is exactly the indexing that Priora received) has an improved interior compared to the “ten”, a 16-valve engine with a volume of 1596 cc. see, and a 5-speed manual transmission in all trim levels (in the first trim levels of the sedan and hatchback with an 80 hp engine, an 8-valve engine was installed). In mixed driving mode, the Priora has 100 km. it takes from 6.6 to 7.6 liters. fuel outside the city (depending on the configuration), and in the city - 9.8 liters. The new engine allows you to accelerate to 180 km/h, and to “hundreds” in 12 seconds. This property attracts the attention of fans of high-speed racing, because by working on the engine and tuning the car, you can achieve good sports performance.
Priora in standard configuration | PrioraPRO
Today, the domestic auto industry offers consumers fairly high-quality cars. They may, of course, not be on par with the Germans or Japanese in terms of build quality or the range of various functions, but the desire for perfection is never superfluous, and proof of this goal are the cars produced annually, which gradually satisfy the needs of even the most demanding customers.
The Priora in the standard configuration is a car that, in principle, almost everyone can afford. This particular set is designed for the average wallet.
How much does Lada Priora weigh?
The weight of the car before restyling in 2013 was as follows:
- The 3-door hatchback coupe, 5-door hatchback and sedan have a curb weight (which includes the weight of a full tank of fuel and the driver) of 1088 kg. In this case, the total weight (i.e., the maximum permissible weight of the vehicle at which it can be operated after being fully loaded) is 1578 kg;
- The station wagon, with the same curb weight, is able to take a little more cargo, and its total weight reaches 1593 kg.
Thus, the station wagon is the most load-carrying of all Priora body types.
How long does a gas tank last?
With the maximum filling of the gas tank, the Lada Priora, powered by AI-95 (according to the passport!) will travel:
- 438 km in the city;
- 767 km on the highway;
- 597 km combined cycle.
However, the driving range on a full tank is given by us as a rough estimate, since depending on the configuration and modification it may vary slightly, although in all cases the volume of the gas tank is the same: 43 liters.
We improve and decorate: tuning features for Lada Priora
It is unlikely that a modern driver is satisfied with a standard car model. I want to increase comfort, show off some zest, and stand out from the gray crowd of cars. This is why tuning exists, the idea of which is to improve the output technical characteristics of the iron horse and modify its appearance.
Lada Priora will be transformed in your hands! On our information portal “1LadaPriora.ru” you will find a huge amount of educational material, from which you will learn a lot of new things to improve the “image” of your car.
All information is divided into two semantic blocks:
- Increasing the efficiency of the Lada Priora
- Increasing interior comfort
- Changing the appearance of the car
In addition to the theoretical part, all articles are supported by visual videos, where tuning masters show their skills, give comments and advice to beginners. So, take action!
Cargo capacity
Cargo capacity (not payload!) of the Prior varies depending on the body type. So, trunks have different volumes:
- 360 liters – for hatchback and coupe;
- 430 liters - for the sedan;
- 444 liters - for the station wagon.
As we can see, this volume is not very different from the sedan’s, so it’s a very stretch to say that the Priora station wagon was created to solve a wide range of economic problems (relative to other variants of this car). Of course, cargo capacity increases significantly if you fold the back of the rear sofa, or even better, remove the entire rear seat.
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.
Dimensions of VAZ 2170 and other modifications of Priora
The dimensions of the car are something that needs to be taken into account when purchasing, since the dimensions of parking spaces, garages, turns or entrance arches are not always universal. The height is measured from the extreme point of the front to the extreme point of the rear bumper. The width is measured at the widest point, and the height is measured from the surface of the ground to the highest point of the roof. Roof rails and racks do not fit into the height of the body. Taking this into account, the dimensions of the Priora are as follows:
- The longest body of cars in this family is the sedan. It measures 4350 mm in length. But at the same time it is the lowest - 1420 mm. in height.
- The next longest is the station wagon, with its 4340 mm length. It is the highest in height – 1508 mm.
- The five-door hatchback and three-door coupe are the shortest - 4210 mm. at 1435 mm. in height.
In all four cases, the width of the Priora is the same - 1680 mm. Ground clearance is 165 mm, although in the Priora Sport configuration it is somewhat reduced, but this is no longer so important, since this car is no longer produced in this version.
Modifications of Lada Priora until 2013
VAZ 2170 Lada Priora I generation cars have the following body options: 4-door sedan, 5-door hatchback and station wagon, and 3-door coupe. Depending on the year of manufacture and configuration, engine power may vary, which looks like this.
Engine Lada Priora 2007, sedan, 1st generation
Based on the configuration, sedans before the 2013 restyling are equipped with the following engines:
- 80 “horses”: 8 valves, maximum speed 172 km/h, gasoline consumption – 7.6 liters. for every 100 km. in a mixed cycle.
- 16-valve engine with 89 hp. reaches speeds of up to 176 km/h, consuming 7.3 l/100 km. paths in a mixed cycle. As you can see, in terms of its characteristics, this engine is not much different from its “younger brother,” although it consumes a little less gasoline.
- 16-valve 98-horsepower engine: maximum speed 183 km/h, AI-95 consumption in the combined cycle – 7.2 l/100 km.
Engine Lada Priora 2008, hatchback, 1st generation
5-door hatchbacks have been produced since 2008. Depending on the configuration, they are equipped with:
- 80-horsepower 8-valve engine, delivering the same speed and fuel consumption characteristics as in the case of a sedan equipped with the same engine;
- 16-valve engine with 89 hp, which produces the same speed for a hatchback and consumes the same amount of gasoline as a sedan with the same engine;
- A 98-horsepower 16-valve engine, thanks to which the hatchback completely matches the speed and consumption characteristics of a sedan with the same power plant.
Engine Lada Priora 2008, station wagon, 1st generation
With a station wagon everything is simpler. From the very beginning of production, it had only one, but the most powerful engine at that time, producing 98 l/s, which accelerated the car to 183 km/h and consumed 7.2 liters of gasoline per 100 km. paths in a mixed cycle. Thus, despite the large cargo capacity of the station wagon, its rated speed remains the same as that of other Priors in a different body version, but with the same engine, since the curb weight is the same for all modifications. Probably, when fully loaded, the station wagon will show slightly lower speed or higher fuel consumption characteristics.
Engine Lada Priora 2010, coupe, 1st generation
Since 2010, Priora has received another modification - a three-door coupe-hatchback. Everything with him is also quite simple, because... It is equipped with a 98-horsepower 16-valve engine, giving a top speed of 183 km/h, consuming 7.4 liters of gasoline per 100 km in the combined cycle, i.e. slightly more than all other body modifications. As you can see, the station wagon and coupe do not have such a wide engine variation as the 5-door hatchback and sedan, since cars of such a body are not designed for wide sale, but for specific needs: sports and motor tourism. By the way, the creators of Priora had the idea to launch a convertible into series, but reasonably considering that it would not find its buyer, they abandoned this idea.
All about the design and repair of the Lada Priora
“If you bought a car, learn how to fix it yourself!” - this is the motto of a wise motorist. Indeed, car repair shops often knock money off their chests by loading them with incomprehensible terminology and non-existent problems. As a result, the driver’s wallet loses a decent amount of money, although the costs could have been lower if he had shown at least a spark of knowledge in the car’s design.
On our information website “1LadaPriora.ru” you will learn everything about the technical equipment of the Lada Priora. We will clearly decipher the operating manual available to each owner and clearly show on the diagram each important component of the mechanism. You will get acquainted with interesting video material on the topic, where an expert will reveal all the engine compartment secrets of the Lada Priora.
A separate repair section is devoted to specific work on replacing spare parts for this brand of car. Under the watchful eye of a video camera, an experienced master comments on his every action, points out important nuances and generously treats the listener with valuable advice.
Each brand of car has its own weak points that require an eye and an eye. Lada Priora is no exception. Read in a special section a list of the most common breakdowns of this model and effective ways to prevent them.
Finally, we will touch on the problem of emergency repairs on the road. What available tools will replace a torn engine belt or coolant? Read this and much more in our special section “Emergency Help”.
Restyling Lada Priora 2013
The 2013 restyling consisted of some changes regarding the appearance, some equipment, interior and engine. Among such changes in Prior we will name:
- A slightly modified exterior geometry, which, however, makes no sense to describe, since visually Priora before and after restyling remained almost indistinguishable in appearance;
- Replacing the radiator grille with an elongated “honeycomb”, slightly tilting the car into the now fashionable “organic” style, characterized by biological forms;
- Improved external lighting technology, thanks to which the car’s dimensions have become clearer in the dark. In particular, the area of the reflectors has been increased, LED sections for side lights and brake lights have been added, which are both brighter and more responsive when switched on;
- A dashboard that is implemented differently: instead of four “dials,” the sensor arrows were arranged in two, without compromising functionality. Purely aesthetically it looks better, but from an ergonomic point of view, a lot depends on habit;
- An increased number of pictograms flashing on the dashboard, making it easier to figure out which lighting equipment is faulty;
- An added niche in the center of the dashboard, in which the on-board computer is placed;
- Extended front seat slides, allowing tall drivers and front passengers to adjust their seat positions more flexibly;
- A box that is more spacious in depth to the right of the driver;
- A more attractive three-spoke steering wheel with an airbag under a triangular cover;
- In the “luxury” configuration – leather upholstery based on a combination of auto fabric and eco-leather;
- New door card design.
Also, since 2013, Priors have been produced in a different engine configuration, from which the 80-horsepower engine was removed, but a new 106 l/s engine was added, which, like everyone else, reaches speeds of up to 183 km/h and reduces fuel consumption to 6. 8 – 6.9 liters per hundred km. This engine is equipped with the “luxury” configurations of the Priora. Of course, such a reduction in fuel consumption is very attractive to the consumer. We can only hope that the developers will continue to work in this direction. In addition, the new engine fits well into Euro-3 and Euro-4 environmental standards, thanks to the closely located catalyst. Due to rapid heating, the catalysis of toxic substances occurs more vigorously, as a result of which a lower concentration of them enters the atmosphere.
The restyled Prior also has a drawback (compared to previous editions of this car): the carpet in the trunk is thinner than its predecessors, which is why the noise level while driving is higher. Motorists are advised to take care of additional sound insulation in the trunk. In addition, the curb weight of the car has increased (to 1185 kg), which is by as much as 100 kg. reduced its cargo capabilities, since the maximum weight remained the same - 1593 kg. for a station wagon, and 1578 kg. for other body variations.

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+". In fact, 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.
