The new Lada Priora model released by AvtoVAZ, which appeared back in 2007, displaced the no less famous “ten” from its pedestal. Since then, the invasion of the Priora market began, the emergence of various modifications, body solutions, such as coupes and station wagons. In 2013, an intermediate stage of updating was presented, which was supposed to become the connecting link between the first and second generations. However, it soon became known that the model would not be able to last long on the assembly line, even taking into account the radical changes.
Therefore, already in 2016, news began to appear about the cessation of production. First for several months, then the launch began again, but in May of this year, the manufacturer finally made it clear that the world would not see any more new Prioras. The car will be finally “buried” in 2019-2020. Next, we will present to your attention an overview of all parts of the car, and also find out how much the Lada Priora costs from 2019-2020.
Exterior of Lada Priora 2022
As they say, the new car will have a suit-shaped style, which will be present in the design of all cars in the future. We can say in person that the changes will affect the bumper, wings and related parts. It was also said that the interior design may undergo a transformation, so higher quality and reliable materials will be used, which will increase the internal sound insulation. The suspensions will be made using new technology, as will the interior design of the entire car. Big changes can be expected in the multimedia and system controls of the car, audio system and windows. The steering wheel will now have additional heating, and the sound system will receive quality and clarity of sound.
Anyone can purchase this model in various versions, such as a hatchback with three or five doors, a sedan or a station wagon. If we turn to the opinion of experts, they believe that it is the station wagon or hatchback that will be in greatest demand. After all, they are not only practical and easy to use, but also have an original design. You can also buy a more universal or luxury version. Most people choose the Lada because it has a lightweight body, is easy to use even in the coldest seasons, has a reliable suspension, has a strong engine, a pleasant appearance, and is durable to use even in the harshest climates.
Tool
Dismantling a buffer in a garage does not require special knowledge or outside assistance. One person can successfully handle this job. In order to remove the front bumper on the Lada Priora, you need to prepare the following tools:
They will be needed to dismantle the fasteners holding the part to the car body. A screwdriver will be used to unscrew the screws, and a wrench will be used to unscrew the engine protection bolts. For ease of work, you will need to install the car on an inspection hole or overpass. If there are no such structures nearby, then you can raise the front of the car using a jack and securely secure it in this position.
Technical characteristics of Lada Priora 2022
It's no secret that Priora is no longer equipped with a robotic gearbox and Lada Priora 2022 will be no exception. It was an interesting experience that provided the engineers with sufficient food for thought. Unfortunately, there is no information about the reasons for refusing the “robot”. At the moment, a 5-speed manual transmission is exclusively available. The motors will remain the same. There is no point in playing with power units at the final stage of model release. We will be offered well-known and well-proven engines of 1.6 and 1.8 liters, with a power of 106 and 123 hp. With. respectively. It should be noted that the 1.8 liter engine is very good. It has enough traction and provides decent dynamics. Of course, this engine does not make the Priora a sports car, but it is pleasant to drive a model with this power unit. Some suspension improvements will be tested on the Lada Priora 2022. Which ones specifically have not yet been specified. Work in this direction must be carried out. The condition of our roads is the primary negative factor that affects the condition of the car. Low-quality fuel creates fewer problems with domestic cars than the disgusting condition of the road surface.
Characteristics of the current configurations of Lada 2170
The popular Russian sedan Lada 2170 (Priora) has been on the Russian market for more than 9 years. During this time, AvtoVAZ released two successors to the model in the sedan body - Lada Granta and Lada Vesta. But Priora is still successfully produced in Tolyatti.
Why is this model so popular? The designers endowed it with a nice exterior, average technical characteristics, simplicity and reliability. Russian consumers are ready to buy a sedan for such qualities, and therefore the Lada Priora has been successfully sold for nine years. What modifications of the Priora line were produced during this time, and which ones are coming off the AvtoVAZ assembly line today?
Review of Lada Priora 2022
The updated Priora is a product of conflicting market demands. On the one hand, the model has stable demand and brings significant profits to the concern. On the other hand, to maintain the target audience, it is necessary to meet modern requirements. Therefore, the changes made are aimed at careful updating without increasing the cost of products. The car still rests on the Lada 110 platform. The factory VAZ index is 2170. In the photo of the 2022 Lada Priora you can see an updated radiator lining with a chrome rim and new bumpers: the lower edges have become more toned. A niche for a registration plate has appeared on the front bumper. The design of the fog lights and the geometry of the lower and side air intakes have changed. In the “Lux” configuration, triangular headlights are equipped with LED DRLs. LED turn signal repeaters are also located on the side mirror fairings. On the vertical surface of the trunk lid there is the inscription “LADA” with spaced letters.
A modification of the VAZ-21708 with a body lengthened by 175 mm is produced in a small series. Even more dramatic changes are expected in the future. A body made in the current X-style is being developed. As for updating the interior of the 2020 Lada Priora, first of all, it should be noted that the dashboard, center console and door cards are of higher quality. The interior design is the product of the Italian studio Carcerano. The entire plane of the niche in the center of the front panel is occupied by a 7-inch touchscreen monitor. Electromechanics are constantly improving the on-board computer and electrical equipment. The generator's performance has increased, the 3.5-inch trip computer monitor on the dashboard has been replaced, and the operation of the power windows has been improved.
Types of restyled bumpers and their prices
Today, buying a new bumper for a Priora is not a problem at all. The fact is that the VAZ-2170 and its modifications are the most popular model for tuning. Taking advantage of this popularity, a large number of enterprises produce many varieties of bumpers and other body kit elements for Priora.
At the same time, you can buy them either as blanks (unpainted, without seats for additional headlights), or ready-made (painted in the desired color, with spaces for headlights, or with built-in headlights). Here are just a few popular models:
Tuning bumpers can be made of ordinary polyethylene, ABS plastic, fiberglass or fiberglass. Prices for such products vary between 3000-5000 rubles. A stock bumper (catalog number 2170-2803015) produced by AvtoVAZ will cost from 2,400 to 4,000 rubles.
Exterior of Lada Priora 2022
The appearance of Lada Priora 2022 will most likely receive an X-shaped design. This corporate style will in the near future be widely reflected in the creations of the Russian brand AvtoVAZ. In particular, there are ideas for modifying the wings, bumpers and other components of the body of the Lada Priora 2022. According to forecasts, the update will also include several new color options, higher quality, and improved sound insulation of the car interior. Experts say that the new Priora will be equipped with more reliable and high-quality parts. The company plans to improve the build quality of the power plant, suspension, and also transform the interior of the car. In addition, active work is underway aimed at improving the reliability of on-board electrical equipment - upgrading the overall functioning of the generator installed in the car, display, power windows and audio system. There is also a version that the new product will receive a more modern audio installation. As a result of restyling, the interior will receive higher quality finishing materials, and the steering wheel will now be heated.
Design
Lada Priora 2022 in a new body is a fast car, suitable for any type of road. During the renovation process, the image of the Lada Priora remained the same: smooth body lines, bright optics, an extraordinary radiator grille, chrome trim, a full range of options, interior comfort, a powerful rear bumper.
Exterior
The appearance of the 2022 Lada Priora, of course, is not “ultra-modern”, but it has become much more attractive and aristocratic. This is noticeable even if you just look at the Lada Priora from the photo. Changes are noticeable in the design of the false radiator grille; new stampings have been added on the doors. “Ribs” began to be visible on the hood, and elegance was added to the front bumper. The shape of the foglights was changed, and LEDs were added to the rear lights.
In all models of the Lada Priora 2022 Sedan, the following updates can be noted:
- Running lights.
- Light tinting of windows.
- Exterior mirrors are electric and heated.
- External handles are painted to match the color of the body.
- Light alloy wheels, fifteen inches.
- Steel temporary fourteen-inch spare wheel.
- Decorative wheel caps.
- One-piece stamped mudguard for the engine.
The front seats are comfortable, but the profile support is not sufficiently developed. The back row of the back row is located vertically - you can’t sit on such a sofa for a long time. In the photo of the interior of the new Lada Priora 2019, all the updates are clearly visible.
The following options have been added or changed in the Lada Priora Universal 2022 and in the Hatchback of the new Lada Priora:
- Frontal airbag.
- Auxiliary systems ABS, BAS, EBD.
- ISOFIX child seat attachment.
- Immobilizer, climate control, factory alarm, central locking with remote control.
- Navigator, multimedia with seven-inch monitor, 12 v socket, cabin filter.
- Armrests, headrests, folding backrest.
- The steering column is adjustable, with hydraulic booster, and electric windows.
- Front passenger sun visor, heated seats.
Interior of Lada Priora 2022
There are practically no changes in the interior of the Lada Priora 2022, with the exception of the front panel. In the maximum configuration, when all the buttons, control units and the infotainment system screen are present, the front panel makes a very good impression. Especially if you remember what it was like at the beginning with its unforgettable center console made of silver plastic. The initial solution should be included in the textbooks in the “Do’s and Don’ts” section. In the basic configuration, when the car is “empty” and there are solid blanks instead of buttons, the central panel looks depressing, but not nearly as bad as it did back in 2007.
Progress is obvious and it makes me happy. Otherwise, the salon is still cramped. The seats are just as narrow without lateral support. The plastic is hard, the assembly is traditional. You can very well drive out of the car showroom in a brand new car with zero mileage to the accompaniment of branded VAZ “crickets”. The infotainment system screen fits harmoniously into the interior and is a decent size. The dashboard lighting has been enhanced. The driver's seat has a limited range of adjustments. The back row is also unchanged. The back of the rear sofa tends to be vertical. Two in the rear seats can still survive on a long journey thanks to some legroom, but for three it is torture. It should be noted that the Lada Priora 2022 has noticeably improved sound insulation.
