Lada Priora 2016 in a new body: configurations and prices

Interior and exterior of the new Lada Priora

The updated series went on sale back in 2014 and to date it has not undergone any changes. Minor adjustments to the interior and exterior largely gave it a new form, without affecting the technical characteristics.

Significant changes in appearance include an updated radiator grille and front bumper. The headlights and tail lights were also modified, and LED brake lights were added. The lower part of the front and rear bumpers are painted black throughout.

The interior design has undergone significant changes:

The new dashboard has become more functional, a built-in navigator has appeared;
The multimedia system supports Bluetooth function and has a USB port;
The front panel is finished in plastic that imitates old leather;
Modification of front and rear seats. The longitudinal adjustment has increased, the backrests have become slightly higher.

In addition, buyers note an improvement in the build quality of the model. The security system has received a CAN bus, which allows you to install modern types of car alarms with the ability to ignore them in the on-board computer.

In general, after analyzing the new Lada Priora 2016, its configuration and price, we can conclude that the manufacturer decided not to make any special changes. But the trends towards improving the quality of individual materials and improving build quality are encouraging.

Equipment of the new Lada Priora 2016: photos and list of options

Depending on personal preferences, the future Lada Priora car owner can choose the following body options: sedan, hatchback, station wagon. The Lada Priora Premier model was produced in a limited series. But at present it is almost impossible to find it in car dealerships of official dealers.

As in previous generations, the manufacturer offers a choice of two types of 1.6 liter engine: an 8-valve power unit with an output of 87 hp. and its 16-valve counterpart, 106 hp. The gearbox is a standard five-speed manual. Despite numerous publications about replacing the power plant with a new one (1.8 liter volume and 135 hp), the situation with the configuration has not currently changed. Although the transition to the Euro-4 standard would contribute to even greater sales growth.

The manufacturer offers two main types of equipment - “Normal” and “Lux”. At the beginning of 2015, information appeared about the introduction of a new ultra-budget model. But it hasn't gone on sale yet.

The “Norma” package includes the following components:

The presence of an airbag on the driver's side;
Integrated immobilizer and car alarm;
Electric headlight corrector;
Modern computer for creating the optimal route;
Split rear seat;
Electric power steering;
Steering column height adjustment function;
Central locking with remote control;
Climate system.

When choosing the “Lux” configuration of the Lada Priora, the car owner will receive the following additional options:

Additional airbag for the safety of the front passenger;
Availability of seat belts with pretensioners;
ABS+BAS systems are installed by default;
Uniform distribution of braking forces EBD;
There is an on-board computer;
Heated front seats are installed;
Parking sensor;
Climate system.

These configurations can be selected for each body type of the Lada Priora 2016. Some car dealers offer individual packages as additional “Normal” options. These may include ABS+BAS, heated seats, etc. However, the change in value can be dramatic. Therefore, these details must be clarified in advance.

The premiere of the new Lada Priora NFR 2022-2023 model years turned out to be fake

AvtoVAZ has officially denied yet another rumor about the revival of the Priora.

The portal received a corresponding comment today from the head of the press, Sergei Ilyinsky. He called the information about the release of the new Lada Priora NFR liftback, recently disseminated by the outrageous Russian YouTube blogger Viktor Stepanov, fiction. He likes to make videos with reviews of non-existent new products (mainly from the Russian automobile industry), passing off outright fakes as insider information.

Viktor Stepanov publishes videos of the supposedly new Lada Priora with enviable regularity, collecting hundreds of thousands of views on his YouTube channel at the expense of careless media. A new video with the Lada Priora liftback 2022-2023 model years received 360 thousand views in less than a week.

Lada Priora NFR

According to the author’s inventions, the new Lada Priora was supposed to be located between classes “D” and “E” and compete in the Russian market with Toyota Camry and Kia K5. Estimated cost - 1,900,000 - 3,200,000 rubles. The new model was supposedly supposed to be created in collaboration with the Stellantis concern based on the EMP2 platform, essentially reworking the latest generation Peugeot 508.

To make the fake material more believable, the blogger also talked about the engine range, as well as on-board equipment and options of the new Lada Priora NFR. As the base engine, the blogger came up with a 1.3-liter diesel engine with a power of 95 hp, combined with a five-speed manual transmission, and for more expensive trim levels - a 1.6-liter gasoline turbo engine with 150 and 180 hp. (depending on boost) paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission from Aisin.

The equipment mentioned includes all-LED optics with a modern design, frameless side doors, a panoramic roof, a digital instrument panel (12 inches), a touch screen multimedia system (8-10 inches diagonal depending on the configuration), support for key digital content providers (Android Auto and Apple CarPlay), modern security systems and more.

Peugeot 508

In fact, the images of the new Lada Priora NFR are a Peugeot 508 liftback redrawn in Photoshop. The “front” of the blog was redrawn in the Lada “X” style, and in the interior the brand logo was simply added to the steering wheel. In general, the topic of the release of the new Priora is quite hackneyed - we even have a separate report with a selection of fakes related to this model. However, bloggers still manage to attract attention with outright inventions.

As for the real news, AvtoVAZ recently showed the first official teasers of the new Lada Vesta. The new product should be presented soon. Most likely - in the first half of 2022.

Review of characteristics and prices for Lada Priora sedan 2016

The first Lada Priora model to enter the domestic market was a sedan. Initially, it was supposed to replace the obsolete VAZ-2110. And she coped with this task perfectly. In 2015 alone, Lada Priora sales accounted for 44% of the total.

But future car owners are primarily interested in the technical characteristics of the car. For a sedan they have the following meanings:

Body dimensions – 435*168*142 cm;
Weight – 1185 kg;
Ground clearance is 165 mm;
Wheelbase dimensions - 249.2 cm;
Luggage compartment volume – 430 l.

Fuel consumption depends on engine parameters. On average for the urban cycle it has a value of 8.5 l/100 km. For suburban driving, the figure is lower and amounts to 5.5 l/100 km. With mixed – 6.6 l/100 km. In fact, these values may be higher than the original ones. This is due to the degree of driving experience and the actual condition of the vehicle.

The price for a Lada Priora sedan for the basic “Norma” configuration is 389 thousand rubles. With an additional set of options it increases to 407 thousand rubles. For a luxury assembly you will have to pay 444 thousand rubles.

Prices and technical characteristics of Lada Priora hatchback

Lada Priora hatchback became a logical continuation of the series. It has similar technical characteristics to the model described above, but at the same time has a smaller body size. The vehicle has proven itself well in urban conditions, and given its good cross-country ability, it is actively used in rural areas.

Thanks to the robotic five-speed manual gearbox, gear shifting occurs quite smoothly, without jerking. But this option is only available for the top-end Luxury trim. To compare models, you need to know the following technical parameters of a car with a hatchback body:

Dimensions – 421*168*143.5 cm;
The wheelbase remained unchanged - 249.2 cm;
Weight – 1185 kg;
Luggage compartment volume – 360 l.

All other parameters remained the same, including ground clearance and estimated fuel consumption. The cost is not much different from the basic version of the sedan. For the “Norma” configuration it is 388 thousand rubles. The most expensive modification is “Lux”, on average it costs 480 thousand rubles. Small chrome elements of the interior and body emphasize the new style of the car, but they do not provide much functionality.

About the car

Lada Priora was presented to customers in 2008. Initially, the car was conceived as a city car, but it also had the characteristics necessary for driving on country roads. A distinctive feature of the car is its low ground clearance, which makes it noticeable among other Lada models.

From 2008 to 2013, cars that were identical in appearance were produced, only the configuration options and technical characteristics changed. In 2013, the car went through a restyling, after which it began to look more modern.

Priora station wagon 2016: prices, photos and technical parameters

The station wagon body can easily be classified as a family car. And although its dimensions do not greatly exceed the standard ones, the convenient shape of the luggage compartment makes it possible to transport large cargo.

The Lada Priora station wagon has the features of a traditional budget domestic car. The interior trim material is not particularly sophisticated, but in light of the latest modification, an increase in its quality can be noted. Considering the equipment and prices of the Lada Priora, in the photo, as in reality, the model looks more than decent.

Technical characteristics of the station wagon model:

Dimensions – 434*168*150.8 cm;
Weight – 1185 kg;
Trunk volume – 444 l.

The price for this model starts from 396 thousand rubles for the “Norma” set, and is limited to 487 thousand rubles for the “Lux” class package. Future owners can also choose additional functionality. This needs to be confirmed with your specific car dealer.

Approximate prices

For those who are thinking about purchasing a Priora, it will be useful to find out the estimated prices for new and used cars in different cities of Russia.

In Volgograd, a standard 2008 Lada Priora can be bought second-hand for 160,000 rubles .
At official dealers, a new 2022 car with standard equipment is sold for 427,000 rubles . For the “norm” and “comfort” trim levels the cost will be 473,000 and 523,000 rubles , respectively.
In the company showroom, the 2014 sedan in the “standard” configuration is available for 340,000 rubles or more .
In Pyatigorsk, the improved 2022 Priora sedan can be found at a price starting from 480,000 rubles .
In Samara, a 2010 hatchback with 3 doors is sold for 190,300 rubles .
In Krasnodar, a universal model released in 2015 with a complete set can be purchased for 396,000 rubles .

Since there are quite a lot of factors influencing the price in this case, it will be difficult to predict the total amount in a particular case. Only those cars that are sold in showrooms have fixed prices. It is worth considering that the Priora line was discontinued in 2022, so there are fewer and fewer new cars left.

What will be included in the ultra budget version of Lada Priora?

Considering the many rumors about the imminent appearance of the Lada Priora in an ultra-budget configuration, the interest of car enthusiasts in this model is increasing. In practice, this can be called a car with a minimum set of options from the standard “Norma” package.

According to preliminary data, the car will include a minimum set of options. But this will in no way affect the safety or basic performance of the ultra-budget Priora.

Currently, the following information about this configuration can be found on the manufacturer’s official website. It is planned to be sold only for the sedan body.

Below is a list of its main components:

Power plant with a volume of 1.6 liters, with 8 valves and a rated power of 87 hp;
Mechanical five-speed gearbox;
The rear seat is solid and can be folded out. This allows you to increase the maximum volume of the luggage compartment;
The machine includes audio preparation;
To create a unified composition of the exterior, the moldings and trunk lid are painted in the same color as the body.

But what interests me most is the build quality of the 2016 Prior. Options, prices and photos may be attractive, but due to errors made on the production line, all the efforts of the manufacturer are neutralized. This can be judged based on reviews from owners.
