What is the maximum speed of Lada Priora
One of the characteristics that people pay attention to when buying a car is the maximum speed of the car.
Often the values declared by the manufacturer do not correspond to reality, so we decided to find out the real maximum speed of the Priora. So, the maximum speed of the Lada Priora is indicated in the technical characteristics of the car. Regardless of the engine and body type, the top speed of the sedan, hatchback and station wagon is the same - 183 km/h. Only the sports version of the Priora stood out, its speed is 195 km/h.
People's tests have shown that the uncharged version of the Priora is capable of reaching speeds of 195-200 km/h. Moreover, at such a huge speed the car holds the road quite well, however, it is very noisy in the cabin. The engine speed on the instrument panel at maximum speed is approaching the red zone.
Another top speed test was carried out on the ring road using a Lada Priora with a 1.8 liter engine producing 123 hp. The maximum speed that the car could reach was 190 km/h at 5500 rpm.
Let us remind you that the maximum speed is influenced by many factors, for example, wind speed, the quality of the road surface and its temperature, as well as the load on the vehicle, its general condition and the size of the wheels.

Why does Priora jerk when accelerating, jerks in motion?
The car should accelerate smoothly. The car jerks, this is either due to your switching, or to the box itself. Jerking is usually present on a faulty machine. But if Priora is in good working order, it will show a fairly decent result. Everything will depend on the skill of the driver. In addition, the following parameters must be observed in order to repeat and exceed the performance from the test site:
- vehicle weight;
- weather;
- quality of road surface;
- driving style;
- the accuracy of the stopwatch with which acceleration time is measured.
If, when all these conditions are met, it is not possible to achieve a normal acceleration time and jerks appear, you need to change the gear shift process. This problem can also occur with automatic transmissions - for an automatic transmission this is almost a standard problem that needs to be repaired.
How to fix jerking, what to watch
When jerks appear when accelerating and even at low speeds the Priora jerks, you need to first try a smoother shift when accelerating, “listen” to the car. If jerking persists during smoother gear changes and stable acceleration, pay attention to the gearbox and clutch basket.
The oil inside the gearbox must be changed on time, and it itself must be clean so that the gears shift cleanly. The slide must not be damaged - all grooves must be visible, and the corners must not be smeared. A burned clutch is a surefire way to delay gear shifting. After correcting all the problems, you can begin to learn how to overclock.
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.
Acceleration time to 100 km/h according to the passport
The acceleration time and maximum speed of the Lada Priora car largely depends on the combination of the engine and gearbox. Priora is equipped with three types of gasoline engines with a displacement of 1.6 hp. (eight-valve, sixteen-valve), and the restyled VAZ-2170 is equipped with three other types of 1.6-liter engines, as well as a new one with a volume of 1.8 liters and a power of 123 hp.
As for the gearbox, the standard, beloved by all mechanics is installed; after restyling, you could also choose a robotic gearbox - Jatco automatic transmission. There are a lot of options - combinations, but the most common is the choice of a manual transmission with a sixteen-valve 1.6-liter engine with a power of 98 hp.
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.
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.
Why did they stop producing Priora?
By 2015, 900 thousand copies were sold. But even then it was noticeable that the demand for the model was falling, so AvtoVAZ decided to remove the station wagon and hatchback, as well as top-end trim levels, from the range.

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.
Malfunctions and repairs of the Priora 21126 engine
The 21126 engine is a continuation of the VAZ 21124 ten-wheel drive engine, but with a 39% lighter ShPG produced by Federal Mogul, the holes for the valves have become smaller, and a different timing belt with an automatic tensioner, thanks to which the problem of tightening the belt on the 124 block has been solved. The Priora engine block itself has also undergone minor changes, such as better surface treatment, and cylinder honing is now carried out in accordance with the more stringent requirements of Federal Mogul. On the same block above the clutch housing there is a place with the Priora engine number; to see it, you need to remove the air filter and arm yourself with a small mirror. Engine VAZ 21126 1.6 l. injection in-line 4-cylinder with overhead camshafts, the gas distribution mechanism is belt driven. The service life of the 21126 Priora engine, according to the manufacturer’s data, is 200 thousand km, how long does the engine run in practice... depending on your luck, on average this is approximately the case. In addition, there is a lightweight version of this engine - the Kalina engine 1.4 VAZ 11194, as well as a sports forced version - the VAZ0 hp engine, an article about it is HERE. Among the shortcomings of this power unit, it is worth noting unstable operation, loss of power, timing belt. The reasons for unstable operation and refusal to start may be problems with fuel pressure, timing malfunction, faulty sensors, air leaks through hoses, or a malfunction of the throttle valve. Loss of power may be due to low compression in the cylinders due to a burnt-out gasket, wear of the cylinders, piston rings, or burnt-out pistons. A significant drawback is that the Priora 21126 engine bends the valves. The solution to the problem is to replace the pistons with plugless ones. However, the Priora engine is currently one of the most advanced domestic engines, perhaps the reliability is worse than that of the 124th, but the engine is also very good and powerful enough for comfortable movement in the city. In 2013, a modernized version of this engine was released, the marking of the new VAZ 21127 Priora engine, an article about it is HERE.
In 2015, production of the NFR sports engine began, called 21126-81, which used the 21126 base. And since 2016, cars with 1.8 liter engines 21179, which also used the 126th block, have been available.
The most basic malfunctions of the 126 engine
Let's move on to the malfunctions and shortcomings, what to do if the Priora engine is running rough, sometimes flushing the injectors solves the problem, it may be the spark plugs or the ignition coil, but the usual thing in this case is to measure the compression in order to eliminate the problem of valve burnout. But the cheapest option is to go to a service center for diagnostics. Another common problem is when the engine speed of the Priora 21126 fluctuates and the engine runs unevenly, a common disease of VAZ sixteen valves, your mass air flow sensor is dead! Not dead? Then clean the throttle valve, there is a possibility that the TPS (throttle position sensor) needs to be replaced, perhaps the IAC (idle air regulator) has arrived. What to do if the car does not warm up to operating temperature, there may be a problem with the thermostat or the frost is too severe, then you will have to put cardboard on the radiator grill
