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".
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. But this does not mean at all that it is too much inferior to the “luxury” and “standard” trim levels. Of course, there are significant differences, but Lada Priora retains its face in any form.
Italian designers from the Carcerano studio worked on the external appearance of the Priora together with Russian manufacturers. Thanks to this, the Lada Priora standard looks quite attractive and has a fabric interior, which is practical and inexpensive. This car model also has bumpers painted in body color and stamped rims.
In addition, in the Lada Priora car, the standard equipment means the presence of a driver’s airbag, ABS, tilt steering and front electric windows.
The standard package includes a 1.6-liter engine with a power of 98 horsepower. In the “luxury” configuration there is already a little more horsepower - 106. Priora is capable of reaching speeds of up to a maximum of 183 km/h. If desired, the car owner can install an additional audio system, air conditioning and heated windshield, for an additional fee, of course.
The standard equipment of the Lada Priora may seem meager to some, but in comparison with the VAZ 2110 model that preceded the appearance of the Priora, changes are obvious. Fans of this car change the struts, install widened rims and lower the “belly” in such a way that, in combination with a body kit, makes the Priora more sporty and even somewhat formidable. The buyer has a choice of hatchback, sedan and station wagon.
The car behaves well on the roads, a fairly strong suspension allows you to easily pass through potholes and speed bumps, although it is better not to drive it off-road, like any other car that is valued and taken care of.
Anti-corrosion treatment in Priora is designed so that the owner does not worry about moisture or heavy precipitation. And the reinforced body, which has passed crash tests with a score of 4 points, also with a bonus in the form of an airbag, makes the Lada an attractive car with a low price.
Engine problems
There is only one volume in several modifications. The weakest 8-valve version produces on average, according to various estimates, about 80-odd horses. The fastest 16-valve version develops power up to 106 horsepower. If you don't immediately take a dead engine that smokes like a coal-fired power plant, then you shouldn't have any problems with the engine at all. These engines are practically eternal. Just measure the compression when purchasing and listen to the engine for any extraneous noise. And also be sure to ask the owner when he changed the timing belt.
The engine can be repaired, but it will be expensive. Major repairs start from 19 thousand rubles.
Lada Priora luxury: equipment, what is included?
These cars differ from each other in equipment:
In the basic configuration of the “standard” type, key design elements have been retained, which affect the high level of safety, namely:
- driver's airbag;
- reinforced body.
The “norm” version of the Priora is widely known to car owners; it was with this that the production of the Lada Priora sedan started.
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.
How does the suspension behave?
Some car owners frighten with stories about how the Priora literally falls apart while driving - but this is not so. Probably for the first models these statements would be correct, but at the moment the suspension is not much different in quality from budget foreign cars. The front has MacPherson strut suspension and the rear has a crossbar.
Problems often arise with bushings and stabilizer struts. They are replaced every 10,0000 - 20,000 kilometers. Steering tips and hub bearings last 40,000 - 50,000 kilometers. Shock absorbers will have to be changed after 100 thousand kilometers. The brake pads are of poor quality, so replace them with normal ones.

Electrical: problems
When buying a Priora, pay attention to how the electric power steering behaves. In the first cars, the electric booster may have defects, which is why there is a risk of simply flying off the road while driving. How to determine the malfunction? Try to turn the steering wheel, if it is heavy and jerks are observed, then this clearly indicates problems. Electrical equipment is also not very reliable. Sensors, window regulators, and heater fans often fail. The good thing is that troubleshooting such problems does not require large investments.
Some owners complain that when they turn the ignition key (to turn off the car), everything goes out.
package, what is included, features
Over the entire period of its existence, this factory version has become the most popular among users of this product. This is due to the low cost, as well as the practicality of the new car. Let's look at Priora Norma Plus: what's included and how it differs from Lux.
Equipment
As for the engine, 3 types are available for the Lada Priora hatchback, station wagon and sedan in the “Norma” configuration:
Options included in the package
- Safety. The kit includes an airbag for the driver; pneumatic brake booster with increased dimensions; front-wheel drive disc brakes, which are ventilated; reinforced body; energy absorbing inserts installed directly in the front doors; rear and front bumper reinforcement; safe material of the parts from which the interior of the vehicle is made. Plus, there is also an energy-absorbing insert located in the steering shaft housing; a popliteal bar built into the dashboard; electric light correction of headlights; inertial seat belts; driver's seat belt indicator; regulatory system; L-shaped rear seat headrests; anti-theft alarm.
- Interior. The seats are upholstered in textile trim. The doors are also decorated with fabric inserts, and the trunk and floor carpets are brushed. As for the seat padding, it is made of polyurethane foam. The Priora's interior also has armrests with storage space for small items between the front seats. The rear seat is equipped with a central armrest, and there is also access to the luggage compartment. There are lighting fixtures for the glove compartment and trunk. There is manual and automatic adjustment of the brightness and illumination of control devices and the ignition switch. There is an “Electric package” system, equipped with multiplex control from a module in the driver’s door: a complex combination key and jack. And the spare tire is a full-size stamped-welded one.
- Comfort. Has automatic drive and heated exterior mirrors. There is a special compartment provided for glasses. There is a filter for air masses that gets inside the car. Heat-absorbing mirrors and a tilt steering column are available. It has an alarm system that notifies you of an open trunk or hood. There is an electric trunk lid lock with remote control and control from the cabin. Central locking with remote control, automatic control of glass windows, door locks. General key for door locks and ignition.
- Exterior. External door accessories are decorated in the same color as the car itself. The bumpers are painted to match the overall tone of the car. There are floor sill fairings, as well as front wheel fenders. Mudguards of front and rear wheels. The color palette of the Lada of this configuration is represented by metallic and pastel shades.
Insurance cost
For Priora there is no single cost of insurance, since it is summed up from many points. The cost of insurance is partly affected by the region of residence and the location of the insurance company itself. For an accurate calculation, use the OSAGO online calculators that are available on the Internet. However, let’s say that insurance, depending on the length of service, will cost from 8,000 to 14,500 rubles at Moscow rates.
Does fuel consumption increase with air conditioning?
In order to drive air inside the device, cool it and release it outside, you need to take energy. What contributes to energy production? Of course the engine is running. The harder it works, the more devices can receive stable “recharge”, and, accordingly, the higher the engine consumption becomes.
Initially, Lada is not ready for the air conditioner to operate, so it has to use additional resources in the form of fuel. Consumption from 100 km increases by 1 liter. By the way, to be fair, we note that the dynamics of the car do not decrease.
